Feng Chen summoned Fang Xiaoman and Mo Sanqiang together, and the three of them discussed how to obtain information about the Japanese army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fang Xiaoman poured a cup of tea for Feng Chen and Mo Sanqiang and put it down, and asked, "Team leader, what do you say we should do?" You can't go up the Huangpu River and count how many Japanese warships there are. ”
Mo Sanqiang said: "Let's just kidnap Shiozawa Koichi!" ”
"How to kidnap? Do you think a Japanese rear admiral is so easy to kidnap? Fang Xiaoman's eyes rolled, looking at Mo Sanqiang and asked rhetorically.
"Don't say it, the method of the top three may really work!" Feng Chen said.
"What? Just the three of us, go to the Japanese warship on the Huangpu River to kidnap Shiozawa Koichi? You two don't have a fever. Fang Xiaoman stared at a pair of big black eyes, looking back and forth on the faces of Feng Chen and Mo Sanqiang.
"Shiozawa has a habit of going to the Shanghai club every once in a while to have fun."
"What does the team leader mean that we are going to do it in the Shanghai club?"
"No, there is no point in kidnapping Koichi Shiozawa, but we can make a fuss about Koichi Shiozawa's adjutant Ryuai Miyazaki, every time Koichi Shiozawa goes to the Shanghai club, he will take his adjutant Miyazaki Ryui, and this Miyazaki Ryuai is very."
"Team leader, you don't want to use me to make a beauty, do you?" Fang Xiaoman squinted at Feng Chen sensitively and said.
"As long as you can complete the task, you can use any method!" Mo Sanqiang said.
"You stinky three!"
"Alright, alright, you two don't quarrel, listen to what I've to say. This Miyazaki Ryujing has a good woman, a dancer in the Dahua Ballroom of the Shanghai Club, and we can start with this woman. Feng Chen said.
"Then tell me about the plan, team leader." Fang Xiaoman said with a sigh of relief in his heart.
"We're going to try our luck at the Shanghai club tonight, and if we can meet Miyazaki Ryujing, it's better, if we can't, let's identify his good dancer first and try to buy her."
"What if the bribery doesn't work out?" Fang Xiaoman asked.
"Then we will follow her, find out where she lives, and wait for the opportunity to kidnap Miyazaki Ryui." Feng Chen replied.
After the three of them discussed the plan of action for the evening, Feng Chen got up and said, "You two should prepare well in the afternoon, I will go to the Japanese consulate to see if I can hear some news." ”
After breaking up with Fang Xiaoman and Mo Sanqiang, Feng Chen did not go to the Japanese consulate, but called a rickshaw and went directly to the Walsha West Restaurant on Xiafei Road.
When passing by the Mingde Bookstore, Feng Chen habitually looked again, and the door of the bookstore was still tightly closed.
When he arrived at the Varsha Western Restaurant, Feng Chen had just gotten out of the rickshaw and saw Sorge walking out of the Western restaurant with Hidemi Ozaki, a reporter from Japan's "Asahi Shimbun".
As a reporter for Japan's Asahi Shimbun, Ozaki Hidemi is often active in Shanghai's cultural circles and has close contacts with left-wing cultural figures, so Feng Chen has been familiar with Ozaki Hidemi for a long time.
How did Hidemi Ozaki get mixed up with Sorge?
was wondering, Ozaki Hidemi had already stepped forward with a smile and greeted Feng Chen: "Feng San, I heard that you recently became a reporter at the Xinsheng News Agency, congratulations, congratulations!" ”
"It's just a mouthful of food!"
"Oh, God! So you two know each other?! Sorge, who was standing next to him, said exaggeratedly.
"Mr. Johnson, don't forget, Ozaki-kun and I are both engaged in journalism."
The three of them exchanged a few words in front of the Varsha West Restaurant, sent Ozaki Hidemi away, Sorge took Feng Chen to the office on the second floor, Sonia came in and poured two cups of coffee for the two, and took the door out.
"Mr. Feng, how did you think about the matter I asked you last time?"
"I will fully cooperate with you! Zhang Chong will come to Shanghai tomorrow, and I will find an appropriate time to probe his tone before deciding what to do next. ”
"Excellent! Whatever you need, just say it, and I will meet you, provided that you can get conclusive news about the Niu Lan couple. ”
"Mr. Sorge, I'm looking for you today, and I have something to ask you for."
"What's the matter?"
"Japanese Marine Corps Equipment and Armament in Shanghai."
"I just got the information, too. How? Is the Nationalist Government ready for a decisive battle with the Japanese? ”
"No, today the Nanjing Military and Political Affairs Department sent a telegram to the Shanghai Municipal Government that Shanghai is the center of our economy, and it is always necessary to deal with it peacefully and avoid conflicts." Feng Chen hesitated, but still told Sorge about the attitude of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
"The information I have is that the Japanese army is determined to fight this time! to divert the attention of the international community on the Manchurian issue. ”
"At present, the Japanese army has assembled 24 warships, 21 aircraft, more than 1,830 marines and 3,800 armed Japanese overseas Chinese in Shanghai, and the strength is mainly distributed in the Japanese concession and on the Huangpu River."
Sorge looked at Feng Chen, smiled slightly, and told the information on the deployment of Japanese equipment and troops.
"The information I have is that Japan is determined to fight this time!

Sorge looked at Feng Chen, smiled slightly, and told the information on the deployment of Japanese equipment and troops.
Startled! I was surprised! Sorge's Ramza intelligence group is amazing!
Feng Chen's eyes looked at Sorge without blinking, and his brain quickly pondered the authenticity of this information, it's as simple as that? It seems that I have come to the right place today.
As if seeing through Feng Chen, Sorge continued: "Mr. Feng, please rest assured, the information is absolutely true!" In addition, this morning, the Supreme Military Council of Emperor Hirohito of Japan approved the Japanese Navy's military action plan and instructed Koichi Shiozawa in Shanghai to "exercise the right of self-defense." ”
It's really called stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get there!
Feng Chen stood up excitedly, held Sorge's hand and said, "Mr. Sorge, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you!" ”
"Ha, ha, ha, Mr. Feng, I hope I will do my best to ask you to do my best!"
"That's nature! Just wait for my good news. ”
Coming out of the Varsha West Restaurant, Feng Chen's mood was very good, the information about the Japanese that Sorge told him was too timely, but Feng Chen couldn't go back directly, he had to go to the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, and at night he had to act according to the plan discussed with Fang Xiaoman and Mo Sanqiang.
There were signs of nervousness and busyness in the Japanese consulate in Shanghai, the doorman added two more sentry posts, and the atmosphere was extremely chic and serious, and the two Japanese marines standing guard at the gate were all fresh faces.
When Feng Chen wanted to enter the consulate, he was stopped by two Marine soldiers standing guard, Feng Chen took out Ishikawa Ichiro's ID and handed it over, one of the soldiers took the ID and looked at it carefully, and then went to the guard room to make a phone call, and then let him go.
Hiraoka Ryuichi sat in the office with a depressed expression, and when he saw Feng Chen who came in, he pointed to the sofa and said, "Feng Sang, please take a seat, you came just in time today, I have something to ask you for help." ”
"Teacher, just give me the order!"
"Feng Sang, you must already know that our Imperial Japanese Government made four demands to Wu Tiecheng, the mayor of Shanghai Special City, in order to solve the "Japanese monk incident". ”
"Yes, I know, state that I've seen it."
"What do you think of this statement?"
"I think you're asking too much!"
"Ha, ha, ha, Feng San, this is robbery! Don't you understand? Shanghai is a good robbery between China and Japan, and Manchuria is the key to this game of chess, depending on how the Nationalist Government responds to the robbery. ”
"I'm afraid the national government doesn't want to deal with this catastrophe!"
What do you mean by that? Has the national government taken a clear position? ”
"Yes, today the Executive Yuan of the Nationalist Government has sent a telegram to Wu Tiecheng, mayor of the Shanghai Special City, that our side should take the preservation of Shanghai's economic center as the premise and adopt a relaxed attitude toward the Japanese side's demands. It is necessary to immediately convene people from all walks of life to explain tactfully, and there must be no conflict that will cause the Shanghai market to be violently seized. ”
Feng Chen thought about it again and again, but still revealed the attitude of the national government to Ryuichi Hiraoka.
Hiraoka Ryuichi was shocked, stood up from his seat, walked back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back, and said: "We, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Imperial Japanese Empire, also mean the same, I don't want to fight this robbery, but the military has a tough attitude." ”
"Teacher, just the hundreds of marines and a few warships of Shiozawa Koichi, if you really want to start the battle, I'm afraid you don't have much chance of winning, you know, General Cai Tingkai's 19th Army has tens of thousands of people."
"Nope! Now the Japanese Navy has assembled 24 warships, 21 aircraft, more than 1,830 marines on the Huangpu River, and more than 4,000 resident militias armed by Heduanju, which can completely deal with the 19th Route Army. ”
Hiraoka Ryuichi didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, so he casually told Feng Chen about the Japanese troops.
It seems that Sorge's intelligence is accurate.
