Chapter 176: Iwai's ambition, the first fight

"Compared to a Westerner's dog, Katori Shinobi's mission is more important." After Iwai refused, he still gave some explanations to Akira Omune, "If the mission is completed, we will destroy an organization. Which is more important, the great monarch should understand. ”

"Hello!" Although Dazong Cangming was unwilling in his heart, he also knew the severity, and bowed his head and replied: "Your Excellency, don't worry, I won't act rashly." ”

Iwai Ying smiled, slowed his tone, and said, "I heard that you have a crush on a Chinese woman, I think, from the perspective of your family, this is inappropriate. ”

Otsukura knew that Iwai was right, but he didn't want to say anything right away, so he just kept silent.

Iwai shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, I won't say much about this, you have to think about it yourself, and I hope you won't delay the great work of building the country of Xingya because of this." ”

"I'll think about it." Dazong Cangming agreed, "Thank you for the reminder." ”

Iwai Eiichi is making every effort to focus on the "Xingya Nation-building Movement", and his tone of "goodwill" and "coexistence and common prosperity" is higher than that of Wang Yi, and he has formed a trend of confrontation with Wang Yi's clique.

On the one hand, they are very good at supporting Wang Rebellion, and on the other hand, they are worried that Wang Rebellion will "enslave and bully the master" and refuse to listen to commands after Wang Rebellion's power grows, so they come to contain it.

Moreover, because Wang Wei was supported by the Japanese Army, the faction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not gain much rights and interests in the occupied areas of China, so they wanted to support a traitor force to fight for their rights and interests.

It was against this complex backdrop that Iwai's "Xingya Founding Movement" grew in momentum and political ambitions to establish and expand its influence in China.

In addition, Iwai also tried to climb to the throne of Japan's foreign minister. Therefore, he worked very hard to run the Iwai secret service, and was organizing a Chinese political party in order to fight against Wang's puppet division.

Historically, because of the strong opposition of Wang Wei and Zhou Fohai, Iwai's organization of a political party was unsuccessful.

After that, the Iwai agency turned to cultural and ideological activities, that is, to strengthen the appeal for a comprehensive peace in Chongqing, that is, to cease war or induce surrender.

Of course, Iwai is still ambitious.

In October last year, the construction movement had gained more than 400,000 people, and preparations for the formation of a new party had been preliminarily completed. In November, eight of the top leaders of the Iwai Movement went to Tokyo to meet with Prime Minister Nobuyuki Abe, Privy Council Speaker Fumihiro Konoe, and the heads of the three provinces of land, navy, and foreign affairs.

So, as soon as Iwai returned to Shanghai, he was determined to start making some achievements in the new year. It stands to reason that the strength of the Iwai Agency lies in intelligence gathering, analysis, and cultural and ideological work.

However, in order to expand his power, Iwai Eiichi also established a "self-improvement academy" to develop the civil and military career in an all-round way.

In fact, the "Self-Improvement Academy" is a military organization that specializes in training special agents. Dozens of trainees were selected from the Youth Gang, the Hong Gang, and other underworld organizations, and in addition to defending the "Iwai Mansion," there was also an armed team responsible for carrying out "special" tasks.

And Katori Koshinobu was the helper he brought from Japan when Eiichi Iwai returned to Shanghai in mid-November.

…………

Although the winter in Shanghai is not as cold and snowy as in the north, the wind blowing on people's skin makes people shrink their heads and shiver in the cold wind.

But cold is still the killer of the poor, and it can also make people feel what it means to be hungry and cold.

Zhang Chengfu turned his head to look at the half-grown boy who was following behind him, waved his hand, signaled him not to follow, and turned to cross the street.

"Be careful." With the sound of shouting, a rickshaw rushed over, couldn't hold its foot, and hit Zhang Chengfu.

Zhang Chengfu was caught off guard and staggered backwards several steps before he stabilized his body.

But the driver and the rider of the car did not have him, one of his hands off the handlebars, fell on his back, and the car screamed, waving his hands and falling directly backwards with the car.

Zhang Chengfu didn't think about it, took a big step forward, reached out and grabbed the handlebar, stopped the upward momentum, and slowly pressed down.

"You-" When Zhang Chengfu saw the frightened girl sitting in the car, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and muttered.

"Thank you, thank you." Katori Shinobu gasped twice, his hands pressed against his chest, his face still red.

Zhang Chengfu didn't speak, narrowed his eyes, and carefully looked at this woman who should be familiar. It's just that in the end, his eyes stayed on Katori Shinobi's face, and it took a long time to take it back, and the feeling of loss arose.

Sure enough, he recognized the wrong person, although they were very similar, but only he could see the slight differences, such as the small mole between the eyebrows.

Shinobu Katori slowly stood up, looking at the dumbfounded man with some strange eyes. The emotions in his eyes seemed to be very complicated, and they were not the kind of adulterous gaze that he usually saw.

"Sir, are you hurt?" Katori Shinobu asked again.

Zhang Chengfu took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said with a faint smile: "I'm sorry, I left too quickly and frightened Miss." With that, he walked over, squatted down, and put back the things scattered on the ground in the suitcase in the car.

The coachman got up with a snort, and when he saw Zhang Chengfu's dress, he had to smile wryly and shake his head, admitting that he was unlucky.

"Thank you." Katori Shinobu said politely.

Zhang Chengfu handed the packed suitcase to Katori Shinobu and said, "Miss is in a hurry, let's go quickly!" ”

"Oh, I'm going to Jiao Tong University." Katori Shinobu politely saluted, "If you're okay, then I'll go first." ”

Zhang Chengfu nodded, and casually threw a dollar to the coachman, "Buy some bone-setting medicine and rub it yourself!" Then he turned and walked away.

After walking for a while, Zhang Chengfu couldn't help but turn around, but he didn't see Katori Shinobi, but found that the half-grown son called the dog was still following him.

The dog was the boy who robbed Han Fangbao's jewelry that night, was knocked down by Zhang Chengfu, and was let go by him.

Soon after that, Zhang Chengfu saw a dog on the street again, and was beaten by a ruffian, and he stepped forward to relieve the siege.

Originally, he didn't take it seriously, but the dog secretly followed him and knew Zhang Chengfu's residence. Whether it is to repay his kindness or to have someone to rely on, the dog often lets Zhang Chengfu know his existence.

Zhang Chengfu felt that with this little tail, it would be very inconvenient to do things in the future. When he met a dog, he gave a few dollars at first and told him not to follow.

But the dog is really a dog, the kind of dog skin plaster, and it sticks to it, which makes Zhang Chengfu have a headache.

Today, Zhang Chengfu didn't bother to pay attention to the dog, lit a cigarette in amazement, and slowly walked into the distance.

In the evening, Zhang Chengfu sat in his small room, drinking wine, while muttering with a wry smile, "Why is it so similar?" I had forgotten about it, but now-"

The cigarette butts on the ground were everywhere, but the thoughts in his heart that were constantly untidy and chaotic were still entanglement with Zhang Chengfu, until he fell drunk on the bed and fell asleep.

……………

After November 1937, the campus of Shanghai Jiao Tong University was occupied by the Japanese army. Some of the students tried to run schools in Chongqing, and the other part retreated to the French Concession along Guangyuan Road to continue their education in accordance with the government's instructions.

At that time, after graduation, all students of Jiaotong University were uniformly assigned by the anti-Japanese government, either to the front line or to the rear institutions of the university. In particular, there were three majors: radio (at that time, only Jiaotong University in China had a major involving radio), aviation and civil engineering.

Civil engineering projects were carried out in the southwest to carry out the construction of airports and Yunnan-Burma highways, aviation was arranged by the Aviation Committee after intensive training, and radio was contracted by the Chongqing Army.

After graduating, students have to go through a long journey to leave the isolated island of the concession to go to the front line or rear of the Anti-Japanese War. The usual route was to take a boat from Shanghai to Canton or Vietnam, and then manage to cross the battlefield and enter the Great Southwest. Sometimes, the "Long March" took three or five months on the way.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Yan'an also paid special attention to the telecommunications students of Jiao Tong University, and sent people to mobilize them so that the students could go to Yan'an instead of the military headquarters in Chongqing.

No matter where they go, the students of Jiao Tong University are all going to contribute to the anti-Japanese service.

It was precisely because of the watchfulness of the authorities that the new telecommunications graduates of Jiaotong University, who had been trapped on an "isolated island" since 1938, were finally not dragged into the water by Wang Pseudo.

And Iwai Eiichi's intelligence collection and vicious eyes can be seen from this.

He believes that all the telecommunications graduates of Jiaotong University are mobilizing and fighting, so there must be people from Chongqing, Yan'an, and even Wang Pseudo on campus.

Therefore, his plan is for Katori Shinobu to infiltrate the campus, find out the situation, and capture the agents in Chongqing or Yan'an.

……………

The song of the finches gradually rose up, and everywhere they played in harmony, and the willows kissed a glimmer of golden dawn first.

Shen Chen walked out of the house, this is his habit - get up early to exercise his body.

The flowers and plants in the back garden are withered, and the few trees are not very tall, so there is no hiding place.

But Shen Chen turned back suddenly, and his growing sixth sense gave him a bad intuition.

It is also a kind of intuition that has been tempered in countless torments of life and death and is extremely sensitive to danger. Shen Chen's body must have reacted before his mind, it was purely intuitive, but it saved him many times.

Qiu Ye hid his body well and aimed at Shen Chen, who was on alert in front of him. His eyes narrowed, this guy really had some doorway. Hiding so well can also alert opponents.

Shen Chen slowly put his hand into his arms and grasped the handle of the gun. Although he couldn't see anyone, he knew that the enemy was not far away.

A light gray figure suddenly flew out from behind the tree, swishing, and two hidden weapons shot straight at him. At the same time, Shen Chen also took out a pistol from his arms, jumped on his side, dodged the hidden weapon, and hid his body behind the flowers and grass.

Akino flew out of the hidden weapon, flashed his body, and disappeared behind the tree.

The plot failed, and the corners of Akino's mouth couldn't help but turn upward, took out the grappling hook from his arms, looked at the top of his head and threw it hard, and climbed up quietly along the rope.

Shen Chen hid behind the withered flowers and plants, holding a gun in his hand, and he was bold. Pistol vs. shuriken, plus body armor, are you still afraid of a ninja? Hey.

Whoosh, there was a movement in the grass on the left, and Akino, who had just climbed the tree, sneered.

At the same time, Shen Chen wrapped the coat in his hand and threw it to the right, but his body rushed to the left.

All of this happened extremely quickly, and when Qiu Ye shot the hidden weapon to the right according to his own judgment, Shen Chen also shot a bullet while running.

"Bah, bah, ......" Shen Chen accurately judged the direction of the shuriken shot, and continuously shot at suspicious objects, including the strange shadow on the tree.

A muffled grunt was heard, and the shadows on the trees vanished.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the surrounding patrols, as well as Xu Huaiyi's men, would soon arrive.

Qiu Ye tightly covered his bleeding arm, now is not the time to bandage, I didn't expect this person to be so cunning.

In terms of skill, he may not be as agile and fast as himself, but he is calm and clear-headed, and his marksmanship is accurate.

The sound of chattering came and went, and he was approaching this way! Akino took a few deep breaths and slammed the three shuriken above his head.

The branches shook and rattled. Shen Chen looked up, and a figure came out from behind the tree, followed by a cloud of smoke, affecting Shen Chen's vision.

Shen Chen rolled on his side, although he didn't see the hidden weapon, he did dodge. From the smoke shot out of the shuriken again, and if he didn't move, he would have to hit them one by one.

Through the smoke, Shen Chen shot continuously at the figure in a half-squatting position. The figure moves very fast, and with the smoke obscuring it, the effect is very poor.

By the time the smoke cleared, the figure had reached the far wall, and had disappeared in a flash.

Shen Chen frowned and stood up, this should be the first time someone has escaped in front of him. If you miss a hit, you will run away immediately, which is also the criterion of a killer, and there is still a difference between a killer and a dead man.

Old Feng Tou'er and Erni rushed over from the front, but were stopped by Shen Chen raising his hand.

"Look for gloves to wear, things on the ground can be poisonous." Shen Chen stretched out his finger and pointed, he was actually not sure.

Since sending Lao Feng Tou'er to the hospital, it is equivalent to saving his life. Shen Chen felt that it was nothing, but the father and daughter were grateful to Dade, and they didn't say anything, but they did their best even more.

When they heard the gunshots, they immediately rushed to show that the father and daughter were willing to risk their lives to repay the favor.

Erni went back to get the gloves, and Old Feng Tou'er walked to Shen Chen's side, staring at the hidden weapon on the ground, and said in a deep voice after a while: "This is a hidden weapon?" It doesn't seem to be a Chinese thing. ”

Shen Chen nodded and said, "It's a secret weapon of the Japanese, called shuriken." ”

Old Feng Tou'er frowned and said, "It's Japanese?" You're so skilled, right, you ran away? ”

Shen Chen exhaled a long breath lightly and said, "If you talk about agility, I'm not as good as him." But his skills are not as powerful as I thought. ”

"Poisoning with hidden weapons, three indiscriminate means." Old Feng Tou'er narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's also poison the organ?" One report and one report! ”

Shen Chen glanced at Old Feng Tou'er and asked suspiciously, "What kind of poison do you have?" ”

Old Feng Tou'er pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was sneering.
