There is no apprenticeship ceremony of kowtowing and serving tea, and Chu Jiao didn't take it seriously.

Why don't you just teach a few tricks similar to women's self-defense, simple and not time-consuming, why is it so troublesome?

But it's different for Katori Shinobi, she finally has the opportunity to contact more.

Chu Jiao can be casual, but she has to be serious and like a studious apprentice. It not only brings the relationship closer, but also allows for a deeper understanding and listening.

It is definitely not suitable to teach and practice in the ward, Chu Jiao has not yet thought of a place, and Katori Xiaoren has already taken the initiative to suggest it in the car repair shop, Sunday morning. If you don't have time, make another appointment.

Chu Jiao thought about it and felt that there was nothing to do this Sunday, so she agreed to take a half-day break.

Although it is not a formal master and apprentice, the relationship between the two has suddenly become closer, and the purpose of Katori Konin has basically been achieved.

Time is constantly changing, and the events that took place in June are enough to affect the situation of this isolated island of Shanghai.

France, known as Europe's leading army power, was defeated by Germany in less than six weeks, and the German army entered Paris and France surrendered.

This event was so unexpected. Not to mention ordinary people, even the far-sighted politicians of the time, including Churchill and Stalin, were inexplicably surprised.

But there is one person who is an exception, and that is Shen Chen. Not only was he not surprised, but he also made a fortune in the stock market.

At this time, Cao Yixin was looking at Shen Chen with incredible eyes.

"I'll let you invest with you, you don't want to!" Shen Chen spread his hands and said innocently: "Although the risk is big, the benefits are also rich!" ”

"Speculation!" Cao Yixin still judged this, rolled her eyes, and said, "There is a good dog's life, and there is no way." ”

Cut! Shen Chen waved his hand, indicating that he was not as knowledgeable as her.

"You're not a pink eye, ask me to meet and ask for a split of money, right?" Shen Chen, in turn, looked at Cao Yixin with an expression of disbelief.

Cao Yixin laughed twice and said, "Am I such a scoundrel? I see you today that I have something important to do, and I want to spend a lot of money to buy your intelligence. ”

Shen Chen blinked his eyes and said, "My intelligence?!" This is not good, I always have to have some little secrets, I can't be a transparent person, no. ”

Cao Yixin looked at Shen Chen with such eyes, snorted for a while, and said, "Who knows your secrets is asking you to provide information, other aspects." ”

Shen Chen smiled and said, "I don't have any new information, so it's okay if I don't make this money." ”

"If not, I'll find out." Cao Yixin was so angry that she wanted to slap the table and said, "The sooner the information about Japan's new aircraft, the better." The price, you say. ”

Shen Chen blinked his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "It's not a matter of money, it's that this information is not good!" ”

Cao Yixin softened her breath and said, "I know it's not easy to mess with, and I don't mean to force you." But the above is urgent, I hope you can do your best. ”

The earliest battle of Japan's Zero War was the Battle of Bishan. At that time, at the strong request of the Japanese military headquarters, Zero War reached Hankou from the Japanese mainland through Shanghai, Nanjing, and Anqing in China, and joined the Japanese 12th Air Force.

At this time, the official name of the Zero Combat was the A6M1 Zero Fighter Type 11. Shortly thereafter, over Bishan in Chongqing, the Japanese Zero found the I-15 formation of the Chinese Air Force at an altitude of 6,500 meters.

The Chinese I-15 and subsequent I-16s, totaling more than 30 aircraft, were immediately attacked by Zero.

It was undoubtedly a one-sided battle for the Japanese fighters, who had the advantage of altitude and equipment, and as the sky gradually calmed down, the Japanese fighters returned to Yichang one after another.

According to the records of the Chinese Air Force at that time, of the 34 I-15 and I-16 planes that sorted, 13 were shot down, 11 were injured and forced to land, and the pilot was killed and eight were injured.

In the Japanese army's external propaganda, this battle was rendered as a 27:0 victory, that is, the Japanese army shot down 27 Chinese planes and did not suffer any casualties.

Then, in the air battle of Chongqing, the Chinese Air Force lost again and suffered heavy losses.

At this time, some people in the military command remembered the information sent from Shanghai. Now, it's not isolated and uncorroborated intelligence, it's hope.

Historically, after the appearance of the Zero, nearly 100 Chinese planes were destroyed in succession within a few months, but only two of them were lost due to ground fires.

A year after the Zero fighter was put into the Chinese battlefield, the Chinese side was unable to get a single Zero or even its wreckage from the battlefield, and the remaining planes could only adopt a strategy of avoiding war.

As a lover of military history in his previous life, since Shen Chen knew the Zero Style, of course he also knew the advantages and disadvantages of the Zero Style.

But he can't blurt it out right away, there must always be a time to avoid arousing suspicion.

In fact, in Shen Chen's view, knowing the weakness of the Zero Type cannot make the Chinese Air Force turn defeat into victory, at most it is just to reduce casualties and losses.

But even from the point of saving the Chinese pilot, Shen Chen decided to provide this information. It is believed that with this information, Cao Yixin's value and status in the organization will also rise.

"If you need help, you're welcome." Cao Yixin saw that Shen Chen didn't answer happily, and said again: "If you can fight, you can also transfer a few, but——"

Cao Yixin remembered what happened last time, her eyes widened again, and she said, "I have to remind you that if you need me, don't make me so ugly." ”

Shen Chen couldn't help laughing, in order to mislead the spies, he also deliberately made something like a mole on Cao Yixin's face, which was indeed quite ugly.

Cao Yixin rolled her eyes and squinted at Shen Chen, "You ran to congratulate Huang Jinrong on his birthday?" It was a lively day, didn't you go up and get together? ”

Shen Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "The great housekeeper didn't dare to go out, so he asked me to send a congratulatory gift." Who would have thought that something would happen, and the banquet was not eaten well. ”

Cao Yixin looked at Shen Chen thoughtfully, as if she wanted to guess something from his face, but finally shook her head.

"In the future, I won't go to public places to join in the fun, I don't know that there are many people who want your life?" Cao Yixin said with annoyance and concern: "Zhang Renkui, Huang Jinrong, Gu Siye, how much can they help you?" I can't stand up for them. ”

"It's hard to sit idly by!" Shen Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "As you said, there are more people who want to kill me, and I don't care about adding a few more." ”

Cao Yixin frowned and said, "It's not like that. The ruffians, even the number 76 people, are no match for you. But there are still some guys who are not easy to deal with. ”

Shen Chen looked at Cao Yixin and asked, "What's the rumor again?" ”

Cao Yixin pursed the corners of her lips and said uncertainly: "There is a Japanese from Hongkou, I heard that it is very powerful, and I heard that I want to trouble you." ”

Shen Chen continued to ask, "Why are you bothering me?" After a pause, he smiled indifferently, "Just because he's Japanese, it's nothing special to go against me." ”

Cao Yixin shook her head and said, "I heard that this Japanese is someone from that Yano, I guess you made Yano lose face and asked me to write an article and publish it in the newspaper." Other tabloids added fuel to the fire, much to the annoyance of the Japanese. ”

It was the first time Shen Chen heard Cao Yixin speak like this, he was vague and did not organize his vocabulary. It can be seen that Cao Yixin really treats him as an outsider and speaks quite casually.

"If it's clear, they won't come, and if it's dark, I'll not be polite." Shen Chen sneered twice and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

Cao Yixin looked at Shen Chen, suddenly put her hand on Shen Chen's hand, shook it vigorously, and said with a smile: "Be careful, I'm still waiting for your information!" ”

The fall of France soon changed the French Concession.

In June 1940, the newly established Vichy government of France handed over the police power of Xujiahui to the Wang puppet government and allowed Wang puppet agents to take action against pro-Chongqing terrorist activities in the French Concession.

This new agreement with Wang's puppet government completely deprived the French Concession patrol house of its former obstructive effect, and also put the anti-Japanese people in the French Concession in a dangerous situation.

The danger posed by the decline of the shielding capacity of the French Concession in Shanghai did not attract enough attention from the Chongqing secret service.

After all, the Japanese, hindered by the fact that Germany recognized the Vichy government, did not openly send troops into the French Concession. In order to appease the Japanese, the Public Concession also has an extradition agreement with the Japanese.

On the surface, this is true, but the French Concession and the Public Concession are still very different.

Because the Ministry of Public Concession and the Bureau of Industry have never agreed to allow the Japanese or Wang puppet agents to move freely, they have always adhered to the principle of handling cases together.

However, the changes in the international situation have still put more pressure on the public concession authorities.

The first was that the U.S. Marines had to adjust their deployment between the Italian and British defense areas in the Public Concession in case the soldiers of the two countries were at war.

Secondly, Britain, which was trapped on the islands, could not but lose its position in the Far East because it was struggling militarily.

Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced that the government would sign an agreement with the Chinese government to abolish extraterritoriality and return the concessions. However, the prerequisite is that peace is restored.

Subsequently, a pamphlet issued by the "Chinese Expellation Regiment" began to circulate in Shanghai, calling on the British Navy and Army to "take advantage of the ugliness of their own country and withdraw their troops from Shanghai immediately," otherwise they would "fall into extinction."

The Japanese, stimulated by the German victory, decided to join the Axis powers and sign the Trilateral Pact between Germany, Italy, and Japan. Ambitions swelled, and the attitude towards the Ministry of Industry became increasingly tough.

"The Shanghai Concession should be recovered on the same principle as the rest of the Chinese Concession, and the timing and manner of such concession shall depend on the dynamics of the world political situation and the enrichment of the Empire's national defense capabilities. Given the position of the Public Concession in the world economy, it should be turned into a base from which to supplement the lack of resources of the present empire. ”

"At the same time, it must not lose its cosmopolitan character, and it must be stable. However, if necessary, in order to be able to recover at any time, various preparations must be postponed. ”

Iwai Eiichi put down the "Shanghai Concession Countermeasures" sent by the Foreign Minister. He understood that at this time when the situation had taken a turn for the worse, the empire had secretly decided to take control of the concession by force.

But when to resort to force, Iwai Eichi is not clear. And to start a war with Britain and the United States, it is obvious that full preparation is needed, otherwise-

In other words, the control of the concession by force involves the national policy of the empire, and preparation is preparation, but it is not easy to implement.

Moreover, in order to enable the signing of the trilateral agreement between Germany, Italy and Japan, the empire gave face to the defeated France, recognized the Vichy government, and did not send troops to take over the French Concession.

Despite the French Concession authorities' professed cooperation with the Empire, Wang's puppet agents were not entirely able to move freely.

It is still necessary to continue to exert pressure and force the patrol houses of the French Concession to cooperate unconditionally and comprehensively, so as to completely destroy the anti-Japanese forces in the French Concession.

As for the public concessions, the same should be disposed of, in the hope of getting more concessions.

Iwai Eiichi thought about it like this, and then thought of Shen Chen. This guy is such a hindrance, the sooner you get rid of it, the better.

There was a soft knock on the door, and Kubota led the two men inside.

"Hello Iwai." Yano bowed and introduced, "He is a contemptible senior brother, Miyagi Ganggen. ”

"Mr. Miyagi, look up for a long time." Iwai Ying greeted together, "Senior brother of Gangrouliu, it's really a blessing to be here." ”

Miyagi Tsuyogen bowed and said, "Your Excellency Iwai has won the prize. The contemptible man is now a second lieutenant in the ** division of the army, so please don't be polite. ”

"Imperial soldiers, it's good!" Eiichi Iwai stretched out his hand, "Please be seated." ”

After Miyagi thanked him, he sat down with Yano.

"This visit, the contemptible people want to ask His Excellency Iwai to help me compete with Shen Xiaochen." Miyagi Ganggen said straight to the point.

Iwai Ying was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "Competing with him, I'm afraid it's not easy to do, he won't agree easily." ”

Miyagi Gogen said, "That's why I need the help of Your Excellency Iwai." If I defeat him, will it be very beneficial to the Empire's policy in the Shanghai Concession? ”

Iwai Eiichi shook his head and said, "Of course, it's a good thing to seriously injure Shen Xiaochen or kill him in a martial arts competition. But if it fails, the impact on the image of the empire is also very bad. ”

"How could my senior brother be defeated?" Yano said dissatisfiedly: "The surname Shen is just a good marksmanship, if you use a cold weapon to compete, I am confident that I can defeat him." ”

Miyagi Gangxuan glanced at Yano and said, "If you can limit the weapons used, everyone will use swords and the like, and the contemptible people will be eighty percent sure of defeating Shen Xiaochen." ”

Iwai Eiichi hesitated a little, if he could really get rid of Shen Chen in the name of martial arts, it would certainly be the best.

However, how could Shen Chen agree, that guy was very cunning; Moreover, what if you lose, there is a problem of face, and even political repercussions!

Yano explained: "Because Shen Xiaochen is a senior police officer in the patrol room of the public concession, if the senior brother wants to come to the door and take the liberty to challenge, he will definitely not accept it, and he will even be expelled or arrested by him fabricating charges and using his power." ”

After a pause, he continued, "So, please think of a way to make it impossible or inconvenient for him to do so. ”

Iwai Eiichi nodded slowly and said, "That's right, let me think about it." At this time, I personally don't think it's appropriate to challenge a Chinese person to compete in martial arts. Of course, this is not the final decision. ”
