Chapter 0506: Prepare for Disguise
Feng Chen hurriedly returned to Mansion No. 23 of Xingfu Lane and handed Dai Li's reply to An Zhida to see.
"Okay, Dai Li still trusts you very much, you can rest assured that you can agree to Ryuichi Hiraoka." An Zhida said after reading the message.
"Well, I can promise him in person tonight."
"Tonight? Didn't you say tomorrow? ”
"Oh, that's right, when I came back just now, I received a call from Masao Ishikawa from the Japanese Consulate, saying that Ryuichi Hiraoka asked me to go to the Shanghai International Hotel at night to accompany two distinguished guests from Chongqing."
"Distinguished guests from Chongqing?" An Zhida asked vigilantly.
"Yes, I analyze that it may be that Gao Zongwu is here, recently, Gao Zongwu has been secretly in contact with the Japanese, and he came this time, it is estimated that he came to see Kenji Dohihara." Feng Chen told An Zhida about his analysis.
"It seems that Wang Jingwei can't wait!" An Zhida sighed.
"Comrade Zhida, why do you say that Ryuichi Hiraoka will let me participate in such a secret occasion tonight? He's not afraid I'll leak the news? ”
Feng Chen was very puzzled, the more secret the matter of private transactions, the better, Hiraoka Ryuichi trusted himself so much?
"There are two possibilities, one is that Ryuichi Hiraoka really trusts you, and the other is that Tohihara wants to test you by using this matter." An Zhida analyzed.
"Soil and fertilizer to test me?" Feng Chen looked at An Zhida with questioning eyes.
"You think, tonight is just a banquet, there is definitely no substance, even if you reveal this news, it is only you who are exposed, and it will not have much impact on Gao Zongwu and others at all, Gao Zongwu himself is the director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it is normal to meet the Japanese." An Zhida analyzed.
"Well, I see, it seems that there is a crisis everywhere!" Feng Chen thought, one meal also has such a great knowledge.
"If in the later stage, Gao Zongwu has a substantive meeting with Kenji Dohihara and lets you participate, then it fully proves that Ruichi Hiraoka and Dohihara trust you." An Zhida then analyzed.
"Comrade Zhida, what do you think I should do?"
"Go with the flow, but when you talk, you have to try to cater to the thoughts of your teacher, Ryuichi Hiraoka, and occasionally behave more traitors than those traitors."
"Comrade Zhida, I understand, from now on, I will become a duplicitous person."
"Comrade Feng Chen, not only that, but you also have to be prepared to bear pressure from all sides, maybe it won't be long before the newspapers will scold you as a traitor and a lackey, and you will be misunderstood by tens of millions of people, and you will not be able to defend yourself."
"I'm mentally ready, I'm going to pretend to be like a real traitor, to face everything, as long as I can make sacrifices for my beliefs, everything is worth it."
"Comrade Feng Chen, I am thinking that in order to assist you in disguise, we will continuously publish the words and deeds and deeds of you and other traitors in our party's "Xinhua Daily" and the "Central Daily" of the Kuomintang at an appropriate time, so as to increase the trust of the Japanese in you."
"Yes, at the same time, from tomorrow onwards, I will ask the "Current Affairs Weekly" to turn around and publish articles that are pro-Japanese and the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, advocating peaceful nation-building and catering to Wang Jingwei's thoughts."
"I read Dai Li's telegram, since Dai Li agreed that you can betray some of the peripheral organizations of the military command, why don't you behave in front of Tu Feiyuan first, and pretend to be a light on the face of your teacher Hiraoka Ryuichi?" An Zhida suggested.
"Well, Comrade Zhida, you give me a copy of the list of underground publications founded by our party, in addition to our underground publications, I am going to give them all the underground publications founded by the Kuomintang in the concession, and give a big gift to Ryuichi Hiraoka, so that he can stand tall in front of Tufeiyuan!"
"Okay, I'll give you the detailed list tomorrow, but if you really want to do this, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the Kuomintang, and then I will send you two more locations for our party's underground publications, and the personnel will retreat ahead of schedule, and you will take someone to destroy the equipment."
After the Shanghai Concession became an isolated island, a large number of anti-Japanese underground periodicals and underground newspapers sprung up in the concession, and these newspapers and magazines often dug up and published news about some Japanese brutal acts, which made the Japanese very angry, but there was nothing they could do.
In the past, the Japanese relied on Chang Yuqing's East Asian Zodiac Society to threaten these newspapers and magazines, but the effect was not great, and the more they threatened, the more such publications appeared.
Feng Chen thought about it, so he used these newspapers and magazines to pave the way for his undercover agent.
An Zhida was more thoughtful than Feng Chen, now Feng Chen's Communist Party identity is absolutely secret, and Dai Li can't be suspicious of Feng Chen anymore because of these things.
It can be said that the current Feng Chen, in Dai Li's mind, is a loyal and capable good subordinate.
There is a good reason for Dai Li's opinion, in addition to Wang Xinheng and Shen Zui often recommending Feng Chen in front of Dai Li, there is also one main reason, that is, Feng Chen's father Feng Mingxuan is a veteran of the party-state, Feng Chen joined the Communist Party in the past, he was young and ignorant, didn't Chairman Jiang's eldest son also used to be a Communist Party?
Feng Chen discussed with An Zhida for a long time, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was almost six o'clock.
"Comrade Zhida, it's not too early, I'll rush to the Japanese consulate, and we'll talk again when we come back in the evening." Feng Chen got up and left the mansion.
When Feng Chen arrived at the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, Ryuichi Hiraoka, Masao Ishikawa, and Yoshio Yoshida were already waiting for him in the courtyard.
"Teacher, I'm really sorry, something delayed, so you have to wait for a long time." Feng Chen greeted Hiraoka Ryuichi apologetically.
"You're here at the right time, get in the car, let's go." Ryuichi Hiraoka has always been so tolerant of Feng Chen.
"Feng Sang, how did you think about what you told you in the morning?" After the car departed, Ryuichi Hiraoka, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head to look at Feng Chen and asked.
"Think about it, I'll follow the teacher!" Feng Chen readily agreed.
"Okay, starting this month, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will allocate 200,000 yen a month to you, and the Institute of Greater East Asian Culture will be located in my apartment on North Sichuan Road, and at the same time, the sign of the Translation and Translation Bureau will be put up as a cover."
"Teacher, we don't use the house we originally rented in the Zhonghui Bank building?"
Before, when preparing for the Compilation Bureau, Feng Chen had already rented the fourth floor of the Zhonghui Bank building, but today Hiraoka Ryuichi suddenly changed places.
"The situation is different, it turned out that we were just going to set up a compilation bureau to translate some of your Chinese books and articles by famous writers, but now it's different, the Institute of Greater East Asian Culture, we need to collect strategic intelligence, and security must be considered."
Ryuichi Hiraoka explained to Feng Chen.
"What about the composition?" Feng Chen asked.
"The Institute of Greater East Asian Culture, consisting of you and Ishikawa-kun, Yoshida-kun, Matsuo-kun, Inoue Sakurako, and Aida Shoji, you are the director of the Greater East Asian Culture Research Institute, and Ishikawa-kun is the deputy director, in charge of operations, I have already coordinated it, and 20 gendarmes have been transferred from the gendarmerie and handed over to Ishikawa-kun's command to be responsible for your safety."
It seems that Ryuichi Hiraoka has everything arranged.
"Teacher, what about my "Current Affairs Weekly" magazine ......?" Feng Chen asked deliberately.
"That magazine of yours, keep it, but starting tomorrow, the magazine "Current Affairs Weekly" will publish articles on the integration of Greater East Asian cultures, and there will be no more anti-Japanese remarks!"
Feng Chen thought in his heart, he really came, the same as what he and Comrade An Zhida analyzed.
"Then after I go back tonight, I have to discuss with several shareholders of the magazine "Current Affairs Weekly", teacher, you know, this magazine itself was supported by Du Yuesheng, if I publish an article on the integration of Greater East Asian cultures, I am afraid Du Yuesheng will not agree."
"Du Yuesheng agrees or not, you have to do what I ask, it's a big deal that Du Yuesheng withdraws from the shares, with the support of Great Japan, are you still afraid that the magazine will not be able to run?"
"Teacher, I'm not worried about whether the magazine can continue, I'm worried that Du Yuesheng's people will make trouble for me." Feng Chen looked worried.
"Won't you buy his people?" Ryuichi Hiraoka said meaningfully.
What Feng Chen wants is this sentence from Ryuichi Hiraoka, and with this sentence, Feng Chen can install his own people in the magazine "Current Affairs Weekly" and the Institute of Greater East Asian Culture.
