Chapter 516: Ordered in Danger
The Chongqing spy network that Ono Heiichiro had painstakingly rebuilt once again collapsed, and in addition to He Ru, who was at large, other important members, including two insiders lurking in the city police station and the Chongqing municipal government, were all arrested, except for a few who resisted arrest and were killed.
At noon on October 19, Heiichiro Ono invited Akira Showa and Ni Xin, handed over a telegram and said: "Please see, you two, after He Ru sent this telegram, he buried the radio station and fled Chongqing. Gu Hua was arrested, and one of the Empire's best spies was killed. Yesterday, Mao Renfeng held a press conference and showed the reporters a photo of Gu Hua's body and a confession drawn by him. According to He Ru's telegram, it has been published in Chongqing's daily newspaper today. ”
Ying Zuozhen slapped the telegram on the table and said angrily: "It is actually Liu Zezhi who commands the action!" Damn, the tiger has returned to the mountain, and it has made a big mistake! Geng Zhenkuan actually appeared at the press conference and personally admitted that he had joined the military command, this traitor! ”
Ni Xin took the telegram and did not speak after reading it.
Heiichiro Ono asked: "Chongqing is the capital of China, the center of resistance to the Great Japanese Empire, we cannot do without our own spy network, no matter how difficult it is, we must rebuild." The Shanghai branch of the military commander, which was in charge of Shanghai, Nanjing and the surrounding areas, was also wiped out several times, but unfortunately they were all revived. Ni Sang, what do you think? ”
"The general is right, reconstruction is a must, and if you don't have a more suitable candidate, your subordinates can take a trip."
Heiichiro Ono immediately refused: "No, how can you leave No. 76?" Ni Xin is indeed one of the suitable candidates, but he is unwilling to let Banzi risk sneaking into Chongqing again, not to mention that No. 76 is inseparable from Ni Xin.
Although he knew this, Ni Xinmao recommended himself, and Kagezo Zhenzhao was still very relieved, and proposed: "Ni Sang really can't leave, Tanaka Katsuei has recovered from his injury, do you think he can do it?" ”
Heiichiro Ono refused: "Let me think about it again, I will talk to Tanaka-kun and listen to his thoughts." ”
Ni Xin said again: "Zhang Zhan, the two generals still remember, right?" On July 1st, after receiving permission from General Kagesa, I ordered him to be reinstated, and for several months, I sent two of General Kagesa's subordinates to monitor him, and did not give him access to core secrets, so far, no problems have been found. ”
Kageza Zhenzhao replied: "Of course I remember, why did you suddenly mention him?" Don't see the problem? Is there really no problem, or is it ordered to be silent? ”
"It's hard to say, there are two possibilities. He came to me this morning, and he said straight to the point that he was too aggrieved and wanted to gain my trust, and now he has a plan and is willing to assist me in trapping Zhou Chengbin. ”
Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao suddenly became interested: "What did he say?" ”
Ni Xin replied: "Zhang Zhan said that the Shanghai branch of the military command had a long-term task: to try to raise funds, which had to be hard currency and other supplies that were urgently needed in the areas occupied by Chongqing, such as Western medicine. He suggested that I take advantage of this......"
After reading Zhang Zhan's plan relayed by Ni Xin, Ying Zuozhen Zhao thought for a while and replied: "It sounds feasible, Zhou Chengbin has indeed done such a thing many times. Zhang Zhan has been away from the military command for more than half a year, and if he says that he has any top-secret information, I will be suspicious. General Ono, what do you say? ”
Heiichiro Ono was cautious: "Could it be a trap?" Didn't Liu Zezhi and Zhou Chengbin sing "Catch and Release Cao" with us at the beginning? ”
Ying Zuozhen Zhao smiled: "The general is too worried, Liu Zezhi was sent to enter the military base area, and he and Zhou Chengbin can premeditate against us when they meet." And Zhang Zhan has not had a chance to get in touch with the military commander so far, Ni Sang, is that so? ”
"Yes, according to the person who followed the surveillance, Zhang Zhan has not been in contact with any suspicious person for several months."
Heiichiro Ono said: "Once I was bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope, maybe I thought too much. If he can successfully trap Zhou Chengbin or Zhang Chi, of course, it can prove that Zhang Zhan is reliable, and it also proves his ability, and he can use it in the future. By the way, Ni Sang, can the Xie Wei left by your Yinian Zhiren come in handy? ”
"It's not the kindness of the subordinate woman, Xie Wei confessed and cooperated, we have no reason to kill him. So Buffalo publicly shot a stand-in, in addition to having a promise first, his subordinates always felt that this person was still useful. General, what do you mean ......"
Heiichiro Ono asked, "Who else knows the news that Xie Wei is still alive besides the three of us?" ”
"Only Asano-kun, the execution of the gendarmes thought that it was Xie Wei who shot him. Afterwards, it was arranged for Xie Wei to change his name and surname, and to live in seclusion by the West Lake, all handled by Asano-kun. ”
Ono Heiichiro said while thinking about it: "Xie Wei and the one surnamed Ai, who accepted Mao Renfeng's orders and monitored Zhou Chengbin and Zhang Chi, didn't know that Xie Wei confessed everything and took refuge in us. He mistakenly thought that Xie Weining was publicly executed, so there was no need to change the scheduled contact information, if Zhou Chengbin really fell into the trap set by Zhang Zhan, we might as well set up a 'plan within a plan', in addition to arresting Zhou Chengbin, we can also arrest this person named Ai Gaowen. ”
Ni Xin nodded and said, "The general is smart." For people like Zhou Chengbin, the military commanders still have to engage in internal monitoring, which gives us an opportunity to take advantage of. The two generals, Zhou Chengbin, who refused to succumb to torture and his subordinates, suggested that Zhou Chengbin might have taken refuge in us because of the distrust of his superiors. If this is the case, the subordinates are willing to promote the position and let the virtuous. ”
Ying Zuozhen Zhao laughed and said: "Ni Sang's words are serious, although this is your sincere words, but it will never be so, the Japanese Empire needs more talents, if Zhou Chengbin can be sincere, I will definitely treat him with all my heart." ”
On the morning of the 20th, Katsuei Tanaka was ordered to meet Heiichiro Ono.
Heiichiro Ono said: "Tanaka-kun, the empire's spy network in Chongqing has been destroyed again, and the direct commander of the operation is Liu Zezhi. I intend to order you to lead a team to infiltrate Chongqing and rebuild the spy network, what do you think? ”
"This is the trust of the general, and his subordinates dare not refuse. Alas, at this stage of the war, not to mention the fact that it is becoming more and more difficult to develop the internal line of rebellion within the enemy, it is also difficult to develop peripheral organizations among the local population. On the other hand, in the past few days, the activities of peripheral organizations have become more and more rampant, and many people have dared to openly express anti-Japanese remarks. ”
"I have also seen this, so the rebuilt spy network has two principles: one is to act quickly, Chongqing is the center of the resistance to the Japanese Empire, and we cannot do without our intelligence organization; Second, the personnel must be capable, and to tell the truth, we no longer have the ability, or at least the ability to organize operations in Chongqing for the time being, and can only focus on collecting intelligence. ”
Katsuei Tanaka replied, "What the general said is. The subordinates will leave to sneak back to Chongqing as soon as possible. As for the inside line...... A subordinate may be able to rebel against a person in the military command. ”
"Great. There is one more thing: an undercover agent of the empire lurking in the army of China, who happens to be transferred to the Ministry of Defense of the Chongqing government in the near future, although his position is not high, but he has the opportunity to approach the highest authority, and I will assign this person to your command. From this day onwards, cancel all disciplinary actions, reinstate your military ranks, and be promoted to colonel of the Imperial Japanese Army. What conditions are needed, what kind of people are favored, even if you put it forward, I will definitely meet it. ”
Katsuei Tanaka stood up and replied, "Please rest assured that the generals will do their best." ”
On October 23, Katsuei Tanaka left Shanghai.
A few days ago, Ai Gaowen and Lin Shirong were ordered to set up a so-called "foreign trade company" in the Wanli office building, three kilometers away from the Shanghai Municipal Government. There have been more and more such leather bag companies in Shanghai in recent years, and there is a big gap between each other's strength.
At five o'clock in the evening of October 25, Zhou Chengbin came here in disguise. Lin Shirong said: "Boss, you are here." Lao Ai said that he should be like a line of work, and he has been circling around the black market every day these days. ”
Zhou Chengbin put the day's "Declaration" on the desk and said: "The reason why I ordered you to set up this bag salary is to establish a contact point directly under my command; Second, the work of countering rebellion has already achieved initial results, and there are more and more places where money needs to be used, and the amount of money is getting bigger and bigger. Deputy Director Zhang will return to Shanghai in the next few days, and he brought back a sum of funds specially approved by the bureau headquarters, but unfortunately, except for a part of the US dollar bills, more than half of the rest is fiat currency that cannot be circulated in the Japanese war zone. ”
Lin Shirong understood: "With the development of the war situation, many businessmen who did smuggling business between the national control area and the Japanese war zone gradually increased their demand for fiat currency, do you mean to try to exchange these fiat currencies for gold bars?" ”
"Yes, this is a large amount of business, and it is easy to attract the attention of the Japanese puppet organs, especially the Special Economic Work Office under Heiichiro Ono, so the amount of each business should be large, and the shorter the time required for exchange, the better."
Lin Shirong nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, so it's not okay to make a small fuss on the black market." ”
"Yes, so I've been planning this for a long time. This is today's "Declaration", you see, especially the advertising column, where I drew it with a red pencil. ”
Lin Shirong took it and looked at it carefully, and then replied: "Although the words are unknown, you can see some ways between the lines: these advertisements are all published by people who exchange money for profit on the black market. These people have a lot of tricks, boss, look at this: dig out the ancestral hidden gold, and hire a master of Ming and Qing historiography for appraisal with a high salary. There is also this one: life sells gold jewelry without money. are so poor that they buy jewelry for a living, and they still have the money to advertise. How much gold jewellery does it have to sell to make the money back. ”
"Of course, it can't be said that the illegal thing is obvious, the advertising price of the "Declaration" is expensive, and the larger the area and the more times the advertisement occupies, the more powerful the other party is."
Lin Shirong nodded again and again: "Let's go and explore the wind first, and stop when I see that I can do a few big business." ”
"In order to close the deal as soon as possible, you might as well use the price optimally. You will finish the preliminary work in the next two days, and when Deputy Stationmaster Zhang comes back, you will start trading immediately. ”
"Yes, I will collect the previous "declaration", find out the possible transaction partners, and report to you after testing and determining them one by one."
Of course, Lin Shirong didn't know that this was a "plan within a plan" set up by Zhou Chengbin after getting in touch with Zhang Zhan through Gao Rui, with two purposes: to exchange the hard currency urgently needed by the Shanghai Branch and create material conditions for the next step of rebellion; Then there is the plan and the plan, using himself as bait, so that Zhang Zhan can deceive Ni Xin and the trust of the Japanese.
What Zhou Chengbin didn't know was that Xie Wei was not dead, and Ai Gaoming also had a secret mission to spy on him and Zhang Chi.
