Chapter 166: The Inevitable Stage, Iwai's Ambition

On this cold night, the theater looks no different than usual, except for the closed sign standing alone in the cold wind, occasionally attracting the attention of passers-by.

The battle between hunting and counter-hunting has begun, and blood and cruelty are its main keynote.

The slain may be nameless, like dust in the air, silently disappearing; The murderer may be even more nameless, and only when the blade is unsheathed, can it occasionally be revealed.

The movie theater has been turned into a slaughterhouse, and Shen Chen's four-person action team has completely controlled it.

The three of them were in front, and Zhang Chengfu was at the back door, like a fierce tiger, opening its bloody mouth and biting all the enemies who entered here to pieces.

The spies and eyeliners who came to report came here unnoticed, according to their own time. Through the small window, the small door opened, and they entered the dimly lit theater.

Then, before the eyes could get used to it, bullets and daggers suddenly arrived. Then, the body was pulled away and the traces were simply swept away, and the three of them continued to wait for the next person to be delivered to the door.

There is no mercy, no forgiveness, which in itself is a battle to the death.

helping the invaders, oppressing and killing their own compatriots; Like a dog, sniffing out the anti-log fighters' speech and whereabouts.

Damn, all deserve it. If they are not exterminated, how many people will shed their blood and pay with their lives.

Shen Chen looked at a piece of information that he had just found from the agent, and it was written in detail and in an orderly manner.

When did so-and-so say something anti-Japanese; Before the war, he participated in anti-Japanese demonstrations; So-and-so's whereabouts are a bit secretive, and he seems to have joined some group......

This was somewhat unexpected, as most of the Japanese recruited vagrants or ruffians. Their level of education is very low, or even illiterate, they can only rely on their eyes to see and memorize.

But this spy is very systematic and professional. Shen Chen frowned slightly and thought about it. It seemed to be a bespectacled, long-shirted, thin-skinned guy who looked like a literate person.

The person was already dead, and Shen Chen couldn't ask him why he wanted to be a traitor spy.

In his mind, he was either mad, or he felt that the Japanese knew about these trivial things, and it was nothing.

If this guy thinks the latter, it's pathetic and ignorant.

If these so-called trivial things are known by the devils, whether they are true or not, even if they are verbally opposed to them without actual action, someone will go to prison or even be killed.

Thinking of this, Shen Chen shook his head lightly, none of this mattered. Because, today from here will not go out of a living mouth.

But his original goal was not fully achieved, and all he killed were traitors. Except for Iwai and the two White Russians, it turned out that all were Chinese, and there were no more Japanese spies.

Even Iwai is a pseudonymous Chinese in the concession. It seems that the Japanese basically handed over the intelligence work of the concession to the traitor agents, who only hid behind the scenes and commanded.

This is the same idea as supporting No. 76, let the Chinese fight with the Chinese, and victory or defeat will not have much impact on the Japanese.

Moreover, Iwai is not affiliated with the Mei Agency, but another Japanese spy organization, the Iwai Mansion.

The Iwai Mansion is a specialized spy intelligence agency established by Japan in China, and is headed by Iwai Eiichi, Deputy Consul General of the Consulate General in Shanghai, and is called the "Iwai Mansion".

Although Eiichi Iwai's position is not very high, his authority is great. He controlled and distributed all the funds for the activities of the Japanese and Wang puppet spy organizations in Shanghai, thus gaining the power to manipulate and interfere in the Japanese puppet spy organizations.

Moreover, he also had strong political ambitions, trying to establish and expand his own power as a capital to climb the ranks of Japanese officialdom.

Although it was also in the service of Japanese aggression, the Iwai Mansion still had the intention of targeting Wang Wei. Its tone of "goodwill" and "coexistence and co-prosperity" is higher than that of Wang Jingwei, thus forming a trend of confrontation.

The "Iwai Mansion" and Wang's rebellion are the strategies of "divide and rule" that the Japanese have always adopted.

It not only wants to support Wang Rebellion, but also fears that his power will grow and will not obey the command to contain it. Wang rebelled for the Japanese Army, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs such as Iwai Eiichi wanted to support forces to win rights and interests.

It can be said that the Xiangmei Agency, the Iwai Mansion, the Japanese Naval Intelligence Agency, and other spy organizations have conflicts for favor and power, but they also have cross-cooperation aspects.

Therefore, the Iwai Mansion was able to cooperate with the Mei agency and use the spies of No. 76 to act as eyes and ears in the concession to collect information on anti-Japanese groups and anti-Japanese people.

The killing continued until about eight o'clock, and sixteen traitor spies had already died.

Shen Chen rarely started except for the beginning. Didn't Chu Jiao want to kill someone, then let you have a good time.

Chu Jiao also realized what Shen Chen meant, and began to enjoy it. This in itself is a life-and-death battle, and she is full of hatred for the invaders, and she is also extremely hateful for the traitors who fight for the tiger.

But killing and killing, watching these Chinese who were either unemployed vagrants or ruffians and hooligans constantly being killed, her heart gradually changed.

Shen Chen once told her that if there is blood on her hands, she will never be able to wash it off. Even damn badass who deserve to be killed, even if it's stinking blood.

Shen Chen also sighed, saying that he killed people until he was numb, and killed people until he was bored.

Now, Chu Jiao seems to have such a feeling. But she knew that she had to hold on, she had to pretend that nothing was wrong and continue, and she couldn't let Shen Chen laugh.

Shen Chen looked at his watch and beckoned everyone to retreat.

Regarding Chu Jiao's state, Shen Chen was not worried much.

This is a necessary stage, and Chu Jiao is not a rookie who has never seen blood, she just wants to control her emotions. Take action when you have the opportunity, and try to control yourself when you don't have the opportunity, no matter how angry and impulsive you are.

The four of them divided into two groups and quietly left through the back door, disappearing in two cars.

……………

The moon has lost its brilliance, the east is beginning to turn white, the sun has not yet risen, but a moment of gloom has come.

Eiichi Iwai reached out from under the covers and fumbled for his glasses on the bedside table. He is a diligent guy, and although he stays up late at night, he still does not delay his work during the day.

In winter, lying under the warm quilt is a pleasure, and many people suffer from bed problems.

But Iwai Eiichi thinks that this is a drain on his will, and he will never give himself a little time to relax, and always tighten the strings, so that he will have enough motivation.

After such a long period of research, Iwai has gained a fairly in-depth understanding of the current situation.

Although he didn't say it, he still thought in his heart that the concession was indeed an obstacle to dealing with the anti-Japanese elements and the Blue Coat Society.

As a result of the war provoked by Japan, the conflict and deterioration between Britain, France, and Japan over their rights and interests toward China aggravated.

In the territory occupied by the Japanese army, the activities and rights and interests of third countries were restricted and damaged. Therefore, Britain and the United States adopted a perfunctory, even confrontational, policy towards Japan and hypocrisy.

This makes it very difficult to break through this barrier, unless the international situation changes, or some major event changes it.

Iwai shook his head, Britain's unique sophisticated and slick diplomacy made the Japanese side unable to do anything.

Although the military has repeatedly demanded that Britain and France be forced to comply, Iwai knows that this is not possible for the time being. Japan has not yet challenged all the old powers, and the timing is very inappropriate.

Although Western countries have temporarily tolerated Japan's actions in China, no one can say how long this tolerance and concession will last.

Didn't the United States not only cut off commercial ties with Japan, but at the same time increase arms aid to China?

Isn't the Yunnan-Burma Highway under British control also pumping fresh blood to China, increasing the confidence of the Chinese government to continue its stubborn resistance?

Didn't the Soviet Union also extend a big hot hand to China, selling weapons and equipment to China, and even providing pilots to China?

These sanctimonious Westerners, they can't see the rise of the Great Japanese Empire, they can't see the Great Japanese Empire monopolizing China, East Asia, or even Asia.

But if the persecution is too tight, who knows if it will backfire, let these guys completely fall to the Chinese government, and choke the neck of the Great Japanese Empire.

Iwai Ei brushed the ground, pulled the curtains hard, squinted his eyes, and looked at the bright world outside, and his resentment eased slightly.

The more arduous and difficult it is, the more he must try his best, he doesn't need any reason, and he doesn't want his subordinates to shirk their responsibilities with one reason or another.

It was necessary to have a good grasp of the situation of the powerful anti-Japanese elements lurking in the British and French concessions, and Iwai Eiichi believed that this was the key.

Otherwise, even if the British and French authorities agree to cooperate. Without a clear target, the Japanese side was unable to inflict heavy losses on the anti-Japanese elements and anti-Japanese organizations.

In response to this, Iwai drew up a plan to intensify infiltration and reconnaissance in the concession. Trap and buy suspicious people in the hope of getting more important information from them.

Fortresses are easiest to breach from within, and well-organized groups can be broken up by traitors or traitors. Iwai was convinced of this and wanted to unite several Japanese intelligence organizations to exchange and share information.

Of course, it is not an easy task to unite the intelligence organizations belonging to the various forces.

Although these intelligence organizations were ostensibly working for the Empire, the difference in political views and lines meant that there was always a restraining force at work in the shadows, making the intelligence work inefficient.

In addition, Iwai Eiichi also firmly believes that using Chinese against Chinese can achieve good results.

This is not an imagination out of thin air, but a successful experience drawn from the Japanese army's suppression of bandits in the northeast.

Although the Japanese army is strong and well-equipped, it is often helpless against those bandit forces who come and go like the wind and are erratic.

However, when using the bandit forces that have been recruited and co-opted to fight other bandits, the result is often twice the result with half the effort, and miraculous results can be obtained.

In the final analysis, it is still the Chinese who know the Chinese people's living habits and ways of doing things best, and it is not possible to rely on them.

This is the essence of "using China to make China", and Iwai is very proud of his creative ideas.

Although other intelligence organizations, including the military, are also using Chinese. But those people have no quality, some ruffians and hooligans, and even big * smoke * ghosts, ordinary people avoid them.

Fur, all they realize is the fur. It is necessary to use official positions and money to win over Chinese literati, brainwash Chinese cultural celebrities, and let them use their influence to influence the government's anti-Japanese war policy and consciously serve Japan's war of aggression against China.

At the same time, Chinese people from all walks of life and all strata should also develop and buy, so that the tentacles of intelligence agencies will spread and spread everywhere.

Iwai Eiichi graduated from the "Tongbun Academy" founded by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai, which is essentially a spy school, specially selecting Japanese young people to learn Chinese in a Chinese environment, and cultivating a large number of "China experts" for Japan.

In other words, they specialized in making friends with Chinese literati and collecting intelligence on China in the name of engaging in cultural activities; Iwai Eiichi can be said to have learned well long ago to carry out cultural aggression under the guise of cultural exchanges, so that Chinese cultural celebrities could use their influence to influence the government's anti-Japanese war policy and serve Japan.

Moreover, "China expert" Eiichi Iwai does not think that his plan will be difficult to execute. In his opinion, for many Chinese, the country and the nation are just some nouns.

If you sell the country, you can get an official position, get money, make food better, and clothes more beautiful. Then, without even blinking an eye, they went to betray the country.

In their hearts, life is life, and there is nothing he cannot do to achieve his ideal standard of living.

Everything is fake, even the country and the nation are fake, only his wine, food, women, clothes, and money are real.

After washing up and getting dressed, Iwai Eiichi looked forward to the beautiful scenery in the future and walked out of the room.

Otsukura sat in the dining room with some anxiety, and when he saw Iwai walking in, he hurriedly got up and said hello.

He didn't want to talk about things before the meal, you brought bad news, and you were already a little weak-hearted, and then let Iwai not be in the mood to eat, it would be even more excessive, you didn't come to report, you came to add to the blockage.

Iwai is also looking for trouble, and seeing that Ozong Kuraaki's expression is not quite right, he wants to show his enthusiasm for work, diligent and forgetful work attitude.

Looking at Dazong Cangming, Iwai opened his mouth and asked: "Dazongjun, I once said that if there is a situation, you must report it at any time, don't learn from the Chinese, procrastinate hypocrisy, and depend on what occasion and time." Work comes first and is the most important thing. ”

Dazong Cangming pondered for a moment, and said in a snort: "Your Excellency, the contact point of the concession did not report the situation to us on time. Of course, it's too early to say that contact has been lost, and it may have been a minor misstep, and I've already sent someone to check on it, and maybe it's not a big deal. ”

Iwai Eiichi frowned, his professional sensitivity prevented him from having a fluke mentality like Akira Omune.

But he didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, nodded a little lowly, he stretched out his hand and motioned for Dazong Cangming to sit down, finish eating first, and wait for the exact return, hoping that as Dazong Cangming said, nothing big happened.
