H2> Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, Takeshi Harada was holding a phone to report to Takamu Kono, Consul General of Japan in the Republic of China.

"Kono-sama, I met him today at the ceremony of Guo Yu's newly opened Huafu Bank on the Bund in Shanghai, and proposed to negotiate the silk trade between the two countries, but this Guo Yu is very cross-sectional, he told me that trade is determined by commodities, and it seems that he is ready to fight against our empire to the end." Due to the humiliation of Guo Yu, Harada Takeshi directly classified Guo Yu as a hostile class in Japan.

A deep voice came from the phone, and he said in Japanese: "According to our intelligence, Guo Yu has now controlled the entire silk market in the Republic of China, and now he has monopolized the entire silk market in the Republic of China, and he has built a lot of factories with advanced machines, and the speed and output of silk production are very large, and the cost is correspondingly reduced, so he can sell at a reduced price unscrupulously." This kind of thing has affected the normal trade of our silk industry in the Japanese Empire, which will play a very strict role in restricting the development of our country, and now the empire can not export much trade to make money, silk is a very important aspect, so Guo Yu's silk business must not be allowed to continue, if you can't reach an agreement with him, then you have to find a way to destroy his factory, do you know what to do. Consul General Takamaki Kono said to Takeshi Harada on the phone.

Kono Takamu is 52 years old, and began to be consul general in the early years of the Republic of China, during which Yuan Shikai signed the 21 articles of loss of power and humiliation of the country, of which Kono Takamu was also one of the leaders, helping the Japanese minister Nippon Zhiyi to do a lot of work, and also did a lot of unknown despicable deeds, such as the use of force and threats to force Yuan Shikai and his important officials of the Republic of China government.

"Hey, what Kono-sama means Harada understands, I'll take care of this matter, please wait for news." Takeshi Harada replied respectfully.

"Harada-kun, I have always been optimistic about you, I believe that you can handle this matter well, remember our principles, and if you can use it for me, you must try your best to fight for it, and if you really can't win it, you must eliminate these hidden dangers, so as to prevent them from affecting the interests of our Japanese Empire in China after they become stronger. This time, I will give Guo Yu a small lesson as a warning, if he can recognize the form and take refuge in the side of our Japanese, we still have to accept it, but if he continues to oppose us, we must deal a heavy hand with him, and we must not tolerate it. Takamaki Kono's words revealed an eerie tone, and he instructed Harada Takeshi.

"Harada understands, I know what to do." Takeshi Harada replied to the phone, and then after Takamu Kono put down the phone, he slowly put the phone lightly on the microphone stand, as if he would be disrespectful to Takamaki Kono on the other side of the phone.

After putting the phone away, he walked out of the office and said to the guard at the door, "Hurry up and get me Watanabe Er, I want to see him immediately." The guards ran to find someone, and after a short time, a burly Japanese man in a samurai uniform walked quickly to the door of Takeshi Harada's office and knocked on the door of the office.

In the office, Harada Takeshi said to Watanabeji, who was standing straight, "I have an important task to give you today. ”

Watanabe II hurriedly bent down and said, "Okay, please Harada-sama instruct." ”

Harada Takeshi took out a map and put it on his desk, and said to Watanabe Er: "Come and see these places, here are a few factories in the industrial zone of the Jiangsu Special Economic Zone, these are all silk textile factories, you lead the ninja team to destroy these factories tonight, it is best to make them unable to start production in the future." ”

"Harada-sama, rest assured, as long as the fire continues, these factories will be in ruins." Watanabe replied confidently.

"I believe in the ability of the ninja team, but don't relax, those silk factories are the enterprises of Guo Yu, the overseer of Jiangsu, and this action is a necessary action to target Guo Yu's monopoly of the silk market of the Republic of China and affect the development of the silk industry of our Great Japanese Empire, so you must be more careful and guard against the defense force of the other party's factory." Takeshi Harada commanded.

"We'll be careful, my lord." Watanabe agreed respectfully.

"Then I'll wait for the good news of the Warriors' victory." Takeshi Harada only showed a smile at this time.

"Hey, please rest assured, promise to complete the task." Watanabe bowed and took his leave of Takeshi Harada to prepare for tonight's action.

Japan's armed forces in the Republic of China are now mainly concentrated in the Northeast and Qingdao, Shandong, Jinan, but also attach great importance to the public lease of the Japanese area in Shanghai, although no heavy troops were sent here, but still arranged a ninja team of 60 people for Shanghai to call, and Watanabe II is the leader of this ninja team, Harada Takeshi, as the Shanghai consul, has full command of this ninja team, so Watanabe II is very respectful to Harada Takeshi, This kind of respect is the same as the kind of respect that Harada Takeshi has for Takamu Kono, the kind of respect for the strong and his own leaders, without any personal factors in it.

Watanabe II walked out of the consulate and got into his car to rush back to the Watanabe Gym. In order to cover up the affairs of the ninja team, Watanabe II opened a martial arts hall called 'Watanabe Martial Arts Hall' in the Hongkou District of the Public Concession in the name of a martial arts hall, claiming to be a Japanese martial arts hall that teaches Aikido.

Watanabe returned to the gym, gathered his ninja team members, and began to explain and arrange the tasks for tonight's operation to these people. In fact, the so-called ninja team is a battle organization composed of ninjas gathered from within Japan.

In fact, the so-called ninja is not mysterious, to put it bluntly, it has some weird attack and hiding methods, and special fighters who have been trained strictly or brutally, but these people have undergone inhuman training, whether it is the heart or the ability is not comparable to ordinary people, and in addition to the artificial myth and its concealment to arouse the curiosity of the people, it has caused people to have some misunderstandings about ninjas.

"Tonight's operation is to destroy three factories and try not to allow them to resume production, so the best way is to set fire to the factories, and these factories are all silk textile factories, and there are a lot of silk fabrics in the factories, which makes it easy for us to bring gasoline or kerosene." Watanabe II finished speaking and looked at the ninja team members below. The team members nodded in agreement.

"Now I'm going to carry out the division of labor for tonight's operation, we are divided into three groups of twenty people each, of which I will lead one group, Saito Ryuichi and Yoshida Jun will lead a group of people respectively, the time is scheduled for one o'clock in the morning to start at the same time, so that the other party is too busy to deal with it, and then we can simply complete the task." After Watanabe said this, the people below all showed relaxed expressions, and they were all confident in tonight's actions.

Shanghai is about 40 kilometers away from the industrial zone, on the road to the industrial zone came a convoy of trucks, under the cover of night, the convoy stopped in a forest one kilometer outside the industrial zone, a group of people in black jumped out of the car, no noise came out, after a few simple conversations, quickly disappeared in place and ran in different directions.

Huayu Textile Factory is Guo Yu's second batch of silk textile factories established, the scale is only larger than Wanxiu Textile Factory, and Guo Yu still adopts the model of joint venture, attracting a group of domestic silk businessmen to operate as shares, on the one hand, it has captured the hearts of these silk merchants, and they can also get out, so that these more experienced management talents can manage the factory, as long as they control the final sales, they can achieve complete monopoly, so Guo Yu's large factories are operating in this mode.

There is no moon tonight, but you can see the starlight, and the breeze makes the late summer evening very comfortable, and the patrol team of four people of Huayu Silk Textile Factory has become a little relaxed as they walk in the cement paved compound. The patrol came to a bend in the corner, where the light of the headlights in the courtyard could not reach.

Suddenly, several figures sprang out of the darkness, quickly strangled the necks of several patrol members, and several patrol members who were not mentally prepared at all and had no defenses had time to let out a scream, they were torn off by several sneak attackers of the ninja team, and reported to the city of death.

The corpse was pulled to the dark and placed under the wall, and after a ninja reached out to the light and shadow, and gestured to complete the task, more than a dozen hidden ninjas outside the courtyard wall climbed over the wall, some of them carrying thin iron buckets, which seemed to contain incendiary materials such as gasoline.

This team of twenty people, taking advantage of the cover of the night, quickly rushed to various areas of the factory, and began to sprinkle the gasoline and kerosene brought throughout the factory, Watanabe II was in this group of people at this time, seeing that such a simple task could be completed, he was in a very happy mood, it seemed that he could get a lot of money, he was thinking about which woman to sleep directly to tonight after finishing the day, when suddenly a gunshot rang out, and a ninja next to Watanabe II was shot and fell to the ground. Watanabe II took a look at it by the moonlight because it was not far away, so the ninja with his face covered couldn't recognize who it was, but now was not the time to think about this, so he quickly took out a lighter and lit the location where he had just thrown gasoline. The flames burst into flames and quickly ignited the nearby factory building.

However, the firelight also exposed the hidden location of these ninjas, and gunfire began to sound in the factory, and a large number of bullets were fired towards the ninja's location, how dare Watanabe Er slack off, and quickly find a corner to hide, but in just a few seconds, the ninjas brought by Watanabe Er were killed by three more people.
