On March 1, 1932, Japan supported the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Aixin Jueluo. Pu Yi became a puppet regime - the "Manchurian Empire", designated Changchun as the "national capital", renamed "Xinjing", and became the political, military, economic, and cultural center of Japanese rule in Northeast China.

There is a place in Harbin that the Japanese call the "Grand View Garden", and in Changchun, there is also a place called the "Xinjing Grand View Garden" by the Japanese, where dragons and snakes are mixed, and the plainclothes teams of the Ma Zhanshan faction, the CC regiment of the Kuomintang, and the opium dealers of the Koreans are all mixed here.

Ma Zhanshan's plainclothes assassination squads, Kuomintang agents, and even Japanese agents can be seen everywhere here. The Japanese tried to rectify it several times, but could not do anything at all. The various forces here are intricately intertwined, and the law and order are unimaginably bad. The Japanese don't know where to start.

Moreover, even within the Japanese there was no consensus on whether or not to reorganize the Shinkyo Grand View Garden.

Not to mention anything else, the intelligence organs of the Japanese army have a base here, the intelligence organs of the Japanese navy have a base here, and even the intelligence organs of the Kwantung Army have a base here, colluding with each other and guarding against each other, and they have moved their whole body at once

In fact, not only in Changchun, but also in Harbin and Jilin in the northeast, there are similar "Grand View Gardens" in various places.

Ma Zhanshan's plainclothes assassination squad bought information from Kuomintang agents, and Kuomintang agents bought information from Japanese agents that were not important but could cope with the mission, and the Japanese agents asked Ma Zhanshan's plainclothes assassination team if there were any people they recognized

In short, you can imagine as much chaos as you can here!

This is simply a city within a city, a "country" within a "country"

"Baron Andrew" didn't know where he heard the news. And I was very interested in it, and strongly asked Toshio Aoki to take him to this place

"Your Excellency, it's too dangerous." Toshio Aoki who changed into civilian clothes. Looking left and right, for fear that a plainclothes assassination team would suddenly come out of nowhere.

I know English, I speak Chinese well, I change into a robe and horse coat, and I look like a Chinese. What about the Baron? Not to mention, wearing a robe, there is not much difference from the Chinese. It's just that Elena knew at a glance that she was a foreigner, and at the strong request of Toshio Aoki, Elena was left at the residence

"There is no danger. There was no danger and I loved it here. Wang Weiyi said in English with a smile, and then pointed ahead: "There is a teahouse there, I like it." ”

Toshio Aoki stubbornly led the baron into the teahouse. I asked for two cups of tea. Vigilantly watching the surroundings.

He knew it all too well, this teahouse was the favorite place for the spies, and hundreds of pieces of information circulated here every day

Toshio Aoki, the person at the table over there, recognized that he was also Japanese, and it was Katen Hideyori who was doing intelligence. The two looked at each other and nodded to each other.

After a while, Katen Hideyori came to the table: "Aoki-kun, why are you interested in coming to this kind of place?" ”

"Ahh I came to accompany a friend of His Excellency the Commander. Toshio Aoki whispered.

As soon as he heard that the stranger next to Toshio Aoki was a friend of His Excellency the Commander, Katen Hideyori hurriedly nodded at him: "Hello. ”

"Garten-kun. He's British, so he doesn't understand Japanese or Chinese."

Wang Weiyi felt funny in his stomach, but he didn't hear it, and he seemed to be very curious about the expression in the teahouse

"Garten-kun, I heard that you are going to be transferred to Shanghai?"

"Yes, there is no way." Garten Xiulai was a little helpless: "It is said that there is a lot of pressure on the Shanghai side, not only is the war not going well, but also under external pressure, do you have any news that interests me?" ”

"Yes, it's okay to tell you." Toshio Aoki didn't want to hide anything: "I don't know if the news is true or not, it is said that the cabinet, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of the Navy have reached an agreement, under pressure from Germany and Britain, as well as the current situation on the battlefield, to temporarily stop the offensive for three months and use these three months, in addition to readjusting the battlefield forces, the government will continue to negotiate with Germany and Britain, so that they do not interfere in the affairs of the day."

As he spoke, he looked at the baron, and found that his attention was not here at all, so he said reassuringly: "This Englishman, a baron, is one of the objects of our focus work. We must make use of all those who have influence, and as soon as the Imperial army resumes its offensive, we must demand that Germany and Britain stop interfering! ”

"I hope it can be done, I heard that it's all because of the appearance of a baron, this Englishman is also a baron, it's not a good thing" Garten Xiulai muttered: "Aoki-kun, do you have anything to do with Shanghai or Nanjing?" The KMT had the best relations. ”

"What's wrong, Garten-kun?" Toshio Aoki was a little curious.

Gartenshurai looked around: "Don't you know the way?" General Matsui's grandson is now in the hands of the Shina people."

Wang Weiyi heard it clearly.

If he didn't say it, he would have almost forgotten about that Sugawara Naomasa. The previous time, Sugawara Naomasa was exchanged for a large number of weapons, and the second time he was captured, Wang Weiyi thought that his value had been greatly reduced, so he imprisoned him, never thinking about what to do with him. The Japanese did not send anyone to contact them.

Now I suddenly heard Sugawara Naomasa here, and listened to Katen Hideyori with special attention:

"This grandson of General Matsui is called Naomasa Sugawara, and he used to do intelligence work in Manchuria for a period of time, and he had a good relationship with me, but unfortunately after officially commanding the troops, his luck was not very good, and he became a prisoner of the Shina people."

"No, it won't." Toshio Aoki looked very surprised: "Became a prisoner? Didn't he commit suicide to swear allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor? ”

"Nope." Katenhideyori shook his head: "There is something even more unbelievable, this is the second time that Naomasa Sugawara has been captured. For the first time, the commander of the 6th Division, General Gu Shoufu, seemed to exchange a batch of weapons for him, but General Gu Shoufu refused to admit that this happened, and you learned that if it really existed, it would be a loss of face for the imperial soldiers. But this captivity is true."

Toshio Aoki seemed to think of something: "You and Naomasa Sugawara are good friends, aren't you?"

"You guessed right." Garten Hideyori sighed: "General Matsui is commanding the battle on the front line, I can't make him sad because of this matter, the above strictly requires us, we must find a way to rescue Sugawara-kun I am a good friend of Sugawara-kun, and this time"

As he spoke, he glanced at the "baron": "Does he really not understand Japanese?" ”

"An arrogant, arrogant Englishman who never came to the Far East." Toshio Aoki said with great disdain.

"That's good." Only then was Gartenshurai relieved: "This time I cracked a secret underground intelligence agency of the Russians and arrested several Russians, among whom was a woman, according to her companions, the wife of a Soviet official. Do you know that the Soviet Union is secretly negotiating military assistance with the Nationalist Government, so we wonder if we can use these Soviet prisoners to exchange Sugawara Naomasa back?"

Toshio Aoki suddenly realized: "You are responsible for taking these Soviet prisoners to Shanghai?" ”

"Yes, there were three of them, including the woman. They have already explained everything about Zhilu Dao, and there is no use value, and the woman's husband is only the head of a Russian regiment, and it is not very useful. Katenshurai nodded and said: "But we don't know if the national government of Ludao can agree, and what's even more troublesome is that we don't even know where Naomasa Sugawara is being held now, only that he was captured by a unit commanded by Wang Weiyi."

"I can't help you, Garten-kun." Toshio Aoki looked a little helpless: "I'm not familiar with Shanghai, if you want to visit Puyi's palace, I can consider it." I've heard of that Wang Weiyi, and it is said that he defeated the imperial army several times during this time. ”

"Well, there's nothing to be done but luck," Gartenshurai sighed.

"There's always a way, Garten-kun." Toshio Aoki comforted his good friend, "When are you going to leave?" I'll see you off. ”

"I'll leave tomorrow night, I'm afraid it's too late to say goodbye to you. This time it was a secret escort, seven of us, one car, and we hoped not to run into any trouble. Katenshori raised the teacup: "Aoki-kun, let's use this tea to say goodbye." Long live the Empire! ”

"Long live the Empire!" Toshio Aoki also raised his teacup.

"What are you doing?" Wang Weiyi finally asked "curiously" at this time.

"Ah, a Japanese ritual." Toshio Aoki disguised himself and said, "Your Excellency, are you still satisfied with this place?" ”

"Ah, it's so ordinary, it's completely incomparable to London." Wang Weiyi is "arrogant" and authentic.

He came here to see what the very famous "Grand View Garden" was like, but he got such information.

The Japanese captured a few Russian intelligence officers, and they actually whimsically wanted to exchange them for Naomasa Sugawara?

If you want to change, it is useless to ask the national government, you have to ask the person sitting in front of you. But now it seems that Sugawara Naomasa is still worth some money. When I go back this time, I have to find a way to get a good price.

What kind of people are those Russians? Wang Weiyi was a little curious, the other party only had seven escorts, and it was not difficult to kill them on the road.

In this way, maybe it can be sold to Russia, I should say the Soviet Union. It can also be sold to the Soviets for a friendship, and the war will help to a certain extent.

Thinking of this, Wang Weiyi stood up: "Mr. Captain, let's leave this place." ”

"Very good, Lord Baron." (To be continued.) )
