Chapter 149: I am among the enemies
Under the strict protection of the Japanese army, the golden train drove into Shanghai one after another, in order to keep it secret, it was claimed that these trains were the ashes and relics of the Japanese soldiers who had died in battle, and even in order to be more real, Matsui Shigen also found a lot of monks to come to chant the scriptures.
Matsui Ishine is worthy of being an extremely cunning Japanese general, and he also arranged a few real ashes, but in the documents and orders, he does not directly say that the ashes are yellow ashes, and once anyone suspects that there is gold, he will definitely go to find these strange yellow ashes and let the real "ashes" leave Shanghai safely.
Japan is a very interesting place, where all living people can believe in any sect, especially the Onmyo-do is very popular, but once you die, no matter who you are, you will become Buddhists, for the simple reason that in Japan, basically all cemeteries are in temples, and temple cemeteries only accept Buddhists.
As for why the cemetery is in the hands of monks, it is because the emperors, generals and daimyo (princes) of Japan have given gifts to temples as gifts to express prayer or repentance, and Japan has never had a real change of regime, these lands have become long-term meal tickets for temples, and if a Japanese wants to enter the cemetery after death, it is necessary to take a legal name, and this naming fee has reached hundreds of thousands of yen in the 21st century, and it is even higher if you want a good legal name. If you buy a cemetery again, don't think about it if you don't have millions of yen, and give the temple management fee to take care of the cemetery every year, which means tens of thousands of yen, the most important thing is that the monk does not have to pay taxes, and it is no wonder that Japanese monks want to marry wives and have children, and pass on the family business from generation to generation.
The ceremony was very grand, and white paper money was sprinkled everywhere, and Matsui Ishine smiled and said to Iwai Eiichi next to him, "You said that anyone would have thought that this is all gold?" ”
Iwai Eiichi said hehehehe: "Your Excellency the commander really has great wisdom, this plan to repair the plank road and darken Chen Cang is really wonderful." ”
As Kagesa Zhenzhao was seriously injured due to the explosion at the headquarters. Although he was desperately picked up a life by a Japanese doctor, if he wants to really recover, he doesn't think about it for a year and a half, and someone is naturally responsible for such a big mistake, and since Kage Satsuaki is in a coma, he can't object to putting this hat on his head. When he does recover, I'm afraid he will face a long prison sentence.
And the replacement of Kagesa Zhenzhao is Iwai Eiichi, Iwai Eiichi is only 38 years old at this time, is a China expert, fluent in Chinese, and has been sent several times as a diplomat in the Japanese consular office in Yurong. It is worth mentioning that he has great political ambitions and has always hoped to use his merits and influence in China to achieve greater development in Japan.
At this time, although Eiichi Iwai also served as the head of intelligence, his real position was the Japanese consul general in Shanghai.
Although China and Japan have been at war for eight years since 918, and even if the all-out war is counted as the July 7 Incident, it has been waged for a year, but it has been waged out of various concerns. Neither China nor Japan has declared war on the other, and China fears that if war is declared, Western aid, especially military aid, will stop, and Japan is also worried that its own resource lines will be cut off under the pretext, so there is a spectacle that even the capital is occupied by enemy troops, and the two countries are still at peace de jure. Therefore, Japan still has a consul in Shanghai at this time. Of course, the Japanese military department is also considering sending an additional person from military circles to Shanghai to set up the army's own intelligence organization. That's for later.
It is worth mentioning that Jiang Intermediary may really take his credibility very seriously. Although in 34 Ta Kung Pao criticized that the reparations should not be paid to Japan after 918, the Nationalist Government still could not be trusted, until August 37, after the news that the Nationalist Government was still paying the Japanese Gengzi indemnity was leaked. Kong Xiangxi announced that he would stop paying compensation, but for the sake of friendship between the two countries in the future, Jiang ordered Kong Xiangxi to set up a special account in HSBC, and transfer the money that should be given to Japan here every month in the future, and wait for the settlement of the problem between Japan and China. A one-time gift to Japan, this money lasted in history until 1943, when the account balance was pound sterling 525196 pound 2 pence and about 7.3 million silver dollars. This money did not stop even when China was in the most difficult time, when millions of people in Henan were waiting to be fed, and even on January 14, 1949, before the defeat of Taiwan, the Nationalist Government issued the "Public Debt Department of the Ministry of Finance on the Repayment of Interest on Foreign Debts Should Be Negotiated and Signed with Creditor Representatives to discuss how to compensate foreign debts."
It has to be said that when Western countries see such a Nationalist government that keeps its promises, and then look at the Red Party, which once seized power, announced that its previous debts were not all due to unequal treaties, it is no wonder that the West likes the Nationalist Government.
Matsui Ishine and Iwai Eichi watched the sky gradually darken and the ritual reached a certain stage, so they left and returned to their residences.
Iwai Eiichi came to his residence and saw that a man was already waiting here, and when he looked at the person, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Yuan Jun, you are finally here, I still doubt that you will not come." ”
The man said respectfully, "Iwai-kun came to summon, why don't I come, I still want to give you the wind and dust, by the way, is your father okay?" It's been a long time since I've listened to him. ”
Eiichi Iwai nodded gratefully and said, "He's in good health, and he often mentions you, hoping that you can come to our house again, and he told me that he misses your sashimi, and he can't find that feeling in Tokyo." ”
The man laughed and said, "That's easy, now that Shanghai has calmed down, when can I let the old gentleman come over to play, then I will personally cook for the old gentleman." ”
Speaking of Shanghai, Iwai Eiichi asked the man to sit down first, poured him a cup of tea and said, "Yuan Jun, what do you think of Shanghai, which is occupied by Japan?" Please don't hide your thoughts, we are best friends, please put aside the identity of Japanese intelligence officers now, I want to know what you Chinese think. ”
The man's mouth bent slightly and said, "We Chinese will not stop resisting, for thousands of years, no matter which foreign race rules us, we will not stop resisting, even the Manchu Qing, hundreds of years of anti-Qing restoration has not stopped, even Mr. Sun Yat-sen is also a Honggang figure, the Japanese government wants to rely on bayonets to truly occupy China." ”
"Bang papa" Iwai Eiichi slapped his face excitedly and said, "Well, I think so too, those soldiers' wishful thinking that they can occupy these thousands of years of Dongfang Chizhou with bayonets is a joke." I have personally felt the will of the Chinese to resist. ”
Iwai Eiichi is talking about the incident in 1936, when he was ordered to go to Sichuan to open a consulate, but was surrounded by ordinary people and killed two Japanese.
Eiichi Iwai continued to ask, "So what do you think about the future situation?" Yuan Shu, please post your comments as a reporter. ”
Yuan Shu took a sip of tea, his eyes rolled twice quickly, and said, "It's now the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China, twenty-seven years." There are many reasons for this that China has not really become strong, and I will not elaborate on this, but now I think that the only way to make us strong is to accept the reality, first rely on the help of Japanese friends, build our own industrial and military strength, and then negotiate with Japan to resolve the contradictions between China and Japan, and finally get a new life, I call this method peace and national salvation. And now the resistance of Chiang's intermediary government is extremely ignorant and hopeless. If nothing else, isn't Hong Kong flying the British flag? Are the people of Hong Kong living in a bad situation right now? The key is not whose flag is flying, but who is good for the people and the country, and if this can make the country better, what about accepting the teachings of Japanese friends for the time being? ”
Iwai Eiichi clapped his hands when he heard it and said, "Yuan Jun is worthy of being a top student of Dongda, your idea has great operability, and we Japan don't really want to occupy China, but just to attack the poisonous vegetable government and the Red Party of Chiang Broker." Peace to save the country! Peace to save the country! Okay, Yuan Jun. Are you willing to be the forerunner of this peaceful salvation of the country? ”
Yuan Shu laughed in his heart, and said, "How do you say this?" ”
Iwai Eiichi said with a smile, "That's right, although Shanghai is now occupied by our imperial army, there are many unfriendly people who don't understand that we are fighting the Japanese Empire and are wreaking havoc in Shanghai, and we hope to find more people who are willing to support us to help our empire maintain order in Shanghai and even the whole of China." ”
Yuan Shu said suspiciously, "Iwai-kun, can you make your words clearer?" ”
Iwai Ei nodded and said, "You know that too." I'm now the vice-consul in Shanghai, but in fact I'm also the intelligence chief in Shanghai, and I hope that you can come to my Iwai Mansion and I can give you the position of deputy director, not just as an ordinary intelligence officer who provides us with information. This Iwai Mansion is all operated by you, you also know it, I still have the status of a diplomat, I need a right-hand man to help me, we have known each other for five or six years, I know your ability, I also trust your ability, and I believe in your friendly attitude towards our Japan. I think you're the best choice. ”
Yuan Shu said worriedly, "I'm worried that I didn't do well and let you down." ”
Iwai Eiichi said disapprovingly, "Yuan Jun, you are humble, not to mention that you also said it, this is peace to save the country, with you, you can also contribute to the rebirth of China in the future, after all, you are a patriotic person." Yuan Jun, for the sake of our future, can we work together? ”
Yuan Shu nodded with difficulty and said, "Okay, but I hope that one day in the future, I hope Iwai-kun can contribute to the re-establishment of China." ”
The two immediately began to plan for the intelligence agency, and the establishment of the Iwai Mansion was immediately formed.
On the other side, Yoshiko Kawashima was drinking wine with a Chinese man, only to see that this person was extremely greedy looking at Yoshiko Kawashima's body, but it was Li Shiqun, Yoshiko Kawashima looked at him with disgust, although he had already been exhausted, but he also had to have an identity and status, like Li Shiqun, she actually didn't look at it.
Yoshiko Kawashima deliberately said in a majestic voice, "I don't know what Mr. thinks? You should be able to see that the land of East Asia will be the territory of our Japanese Empire in the future, and the only way out is to cooperate with us. ”
Li Shiqun slowly held Yoshiko Kawashima's hand, and said with a lewd smile: "Then it depends on whether our Japanese friends are really sincere." ”
Yoshiko Kawashima frowned in disgust, and then put her other hand on his hand with a smile and said, "As long as it is of enough value to the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army will definitely not disappoint the friends of the Imperial Army." ”
- Late at night
In a pub in the concession, since the Japanese completely occupied Shanghai, Japanese food has also begun to become more and more popular in Shanghai, a middle-aged man is cutting sashimi, at this time Yuan Shu walked in, looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile, "Boss, the weather is so cold, give me a glass of green plum bar with red plums." ”
The boss smiled and said, "The plum wine is gone, but there is a good daughter Hong, do you want it?" ”
Yuan Shu nodded and said, "It's okay for my daughter to be red, but it's still more powerful for heroic blood, is there a box?" ”
The boss came out and said, "Come with me, there's a box up there." ”
Yuan Shu entered the box, but saw that the slippery ghost was already inside.
Yuan Shu walked in, took a sip of a glass of wine from the other side, and said, "Just as the organization thought, Iwai Eiichi asked me to join his intelligence organization. ”
The slippery ghost said with a light in his eyes, "Ghost car, so what is your current position?" ”
Yuan Shu tilted his head, gave a thumbs up and said, "I am now in charge of the daily work and operation of the entire Iwai Mansion. ”
The slippery ghost said happily, "This is really good, the organization now has an extremely important piece of information that needs to be verified, your identity is better, you can give it a try." ”
Yuan Shu asked suspiciously, "I don't know what the matter is?" ”
The slippery ghost approached Yuan Shu and said softly, "Japan's atrocities in Nanjing have been known to the whole world, but what everyone doesn't know is that Japan also plundered a large number of gold, silver and jewelry in Nanjing and the entire Jiangnan, it is said that these things add up to several trains, it is said that these things have been transported to Shanghai, but no one knows where, now all our forces are investigating this matter, we must not let the Japanese transport our Chinese treasures." ”
Hearing that there were several trains of gold, Yuan Shu was also so frightened that he stuck out his tongue and asked suspiciously, "Even if we find out where the things are, how can we transport them away?" ”
The slippery ghost shook his head and said, "This matter, the organization will naturally have other considerations, you don't care, you just need to go and check." ”
Yuan Shu nodded in understanding and left.
Gradually, the sky turned white, and in one room, a woman came in and handed the slippery man a letter saying, "It's from Almond." ”
The slippery ghost took a look, but it was the information of the Hyakmu ghost, and after decryption, it was written that the Japanese intelligence agency had been reorganized, and he had been promoted to deputy director, and he had obtained the information of gold, and it was initially suspected that it was on the train.
The slippery ghost slowly burned the information, thought about it in his heart, and bent his mouth slightly, a small part of the intelligence agencies of the Japanese army in Shanghai have become the dark line of the Red Party, and I really want to tell the chairman and Mr. this news in person.
Jiang Cheng on the other side, returned to Yan'an with supplies, Yan'an has recovered from the last bombing, in order to prevent another air raid, the people began to build air-raid shelters and caves under the leadership of the Red Party, Jiang Cheng inquired but found that Chairman Mao was not in Phoenix Mountain, at this time, Xiao Wang rode over and said, "203, the chairman is in the glass house, let you pass." ”
The Glass House? What is that place? Jiang Cheng got on the horse handed by the soldier next to him in confusion and ran up. (To be continued.) )
