The Americans have remained neutral on the surface of the war that broke out in China, but in fact they have been supporting Japan in private, otherwise where would Japan get the steel and various materials to make weapons. If the Americans' weapons testing team attacked the Japanese military police, it can be explained by the fact that the Japanese army has the largest combat power in Asia, so how can the fire that broke out in Tokyo be explained? Both Fujiwara Nakasa and Shinichi Ono knew that profit-conscious Americans would never deliberately set fires in Tokyo.

Therefore, the only explanation can only be that there is a certain number of ethnic Chinese in this American weapons testing team, and because of the presence of ethnic Chinese, there will be fires in Tokyo, and there will be successive attacks on military police and intelligence officers in Shanghai and Tianjin. When he pondered this, Shinichi Ono suddenly found that his reasoning seemed to have become reasonable, and Fujiwara Nakasa also had the idea of reporting to his superiors.

Shinichi Ono's inference was quickly reported to the upper echelons of the Military Police Command, and after half a day, Shinichi Ono, who was anxiously waiting, finally waited for a reply from the upper echelons of the Military Police Command, but the content of the reply was not what Shinichi Ono wanted. The upper echelons of the Military Police Command did not agree with Shinichi Ono's reasoning, because while the Mei agency was making every effort to search for anti-Japanese forces in Shanghai, it was also secretly spying on the intelligence agents of various countries in Shanghai, especially the intelligence agents of Britain and the United States.

After learning of Ono's inference, the Mei agency repeatedly checked the surveillance records of intelligence officers from various countries in Shanghai, and found no sign of the existence of an American weapons test team in Shanghai. "Absolutely impossible, in Shanghai, we not only have intelligence officers belonging to the Japanese Empire, but also many gangsters to provide us with information, even the Americans cannot hide all traces." Mei insisted that Ono's inference was just whimsical, and that Ono could not produce convincing evidence, so the topic of the U.S. weapons test team had to end there.

Disappointed in his heart, Shinichi Ono sat in the car and didn't speak, and the windows that he rolled down kept open, allowing the wind with the rain to pour in from the outside, blowing his gloomy face, but freezing Kubotaji, who was traveling with the car, was choking enough. Finally, Shinichi Ono rolled up the window, leaned his head back on the chair, and let out a long sigh, Kubota Tanji who was sitting next to him opened his mouth, but did not say a word.

Shinichi Ono was very disappointed, he thought that this time he would be able to break away from the special high-tech and officially enter the military circles, but he didn't think about it, who knew that the headquarters would not pay attention to his analysis and judgment at all, and his efforts would be in vain. Shinichi Ono, who had closed his eyes, couldn't help but sigh, Tanji Kubo, who had been paying attention to him, didn't hold back this time, and after pondering for a while, he finally opened his mouth to suggest to Shinichi Ono.

"Chief Ono, the Gendarmerie Command may just want to involve the Americans, after all, the empire is still dependent on scrap steel from the United States." Kubota Taji said it very implicitly, but the meaning of his words was already unmistakable, and if it weren't for the fact that Shinichi Ono couldn't come up with real evidence, how could the military police command not pay attention to that intelligence analysis report. Carefully watching Ono's reaction, and finding that Ono was not angry, Kubota continued to speak.

"Actually, it's very simple to find out the flaws of the Americans, the Mei agency should have relevant information about the American intelligence agents in Shanghai, as long as we can get those information, we will make some small actions on our side, and the Americans may not show their feet." Kubotaji's test finally caught the attention of Shinichi Ono, and if he thought about it carefully, Shinichi Ono also felt that what Kubota had just said seemed to have some truth, at least he could give it a try.

How to lure Americans into revealing their feet is a very simple matter for the extra high class. Shinichi Ono closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and said to Kubota. "Over there, I'll figure out a way, you go and contact those concession patrols and gang forces controlled by us to provoke the Americans, and our special high school must not come forward." The hint in Ono's words is very subtle, but Kubota Tanji already understands the deep meaning.

After the end of the battle in Shanghai, although the Nationalist army retreated, the Blue Coat Society quickly regained its strength in Shanghai. Through various channels, the information was transmitted to the national army over and over again, and the assassination of traitors and high-ranking Japanese soldiers began to be carried out in a targeted manner. Because of its strong symbolic meaning, the Blue Coat Society and the blatant assassination operation carried out in the "isolated island of Shanghai" led to many small citizens in Shanghai to join it, and some of them even spontaneously organized a joint action. These people act both patriotic and for their own interests. Sometimes they join forces with the secret services of the National Government, and sometimes they go it alone.

With the intensification of the war and the gradual defeat of the national army, many people in the patrol house of the Shanghai Concession have been secretly bought by the military or the central government. At that time, if the Japanese army wanted to openly arrest people in the concession, the Japanese gendarmerie had to come forward and notify the authorities of the patrol house in the concession in advance, and the patrol house would send personnel to go together. However, most of the military and central unification organizations in Shanghai gave monthly allowances to the officers of the patrol houses in the two concessions, and they shared the same voice.

Therefore, when the Japanese army wants to go to the concession to arrest people, it is often the Japanese gendarmerie who has just greeted the patrol room, and those patrol house personnel who have been bribed by the military commander and the central command will secretly notify the arrested person to escape. However, even if some important personnel belonging to the military command and the central command are captured before they have time to escape, the patrol room will remain in many ways and even refuse to "extradite." It was precisely under such favorable circumstances that the military commanders and the central commanders were able to quickly regain their strength in Shanghai by hastily and in order, and with the help of elite soldiers and strong generals transferred from the rear. Subsequently, terrorist activities such as assassinations against pro-Japanese elements began to increase.

In order to change this unfavorable factor, while supporting traitor spy organizations such as No. 76 and the Zodiac Society, the Japanese army also began to use the Silver Bullet Offensive to secretly buy off the concession patrol through the power of the gang. The Japanese consulate in Shanghai also used various means to lobby the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the Concession to increase the number of Japanese patrols in the concession, so as to change the difficulty of Japanese troops entering the concession to arrest. With the covert help of the concession patrol, coupled with the coercion of No. 76 and the gang forces, the special high school was able to freely enter the concession and arrest people frequently, and it did not trigger the target of the Ministry of Industry of the concession afterwards.

If Shinichi Ono wants to launch an operation against the Americans in the concession, he naturally can't do without the help of the patrol and gang forces in the concession, Kubota Taji was ordered to leave, and Shinichi Ono immediately rushed to the Mei Agency. Not many people know that Shinichi Ono has a senior who works in the Mei Agency, and it is the kind of fellow villager who has a good relationship. found his senior to explain his intentions, and Shinichi Ono didn't have to do much effort at all, so he got the information he wanted from the Mei Agency.

In the next few days, chaos appeared in the concession, and in just three or four days, there were many kidnapping cases, and Kubotaji, who guided the actions of the gang forces, was not stupid, he did not just kidnap Americans, but also kidnapped people from several other countries in the process. In the past, after dark, it was the beginning of the bright nightlife in the concession, but as soon as the kidnapping case came out, the nightlife in the concession suddenly became much colder.

Lu Yuan, who was hiding at home and cultivating himself, didn't know this, and under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries, Lu Yuan hid in the basement of his residence and fiddled with those chemical agents all day long. Lu Yuan has always learned chemistry well, and when he was in high school, he and a few good classmates actually used the chemical agents in the school laboratory to make chemistry that was more powerful than the Soviet army cocktail*. Just when Lu Yuan's research was a little eyebrow-up, Hans came to visit unexpectedly, and brought a request that Lu Yuan could not refuse.

Hans's bar was not affected by the rumors in the concession, but his accountant was kidnapped, and the enraged Hans sent a large number of people to investigate, but never found any useful clues. In desperation, Hans had no choice but to come to Lu Yuan, trying to find his accountant with the help of the channel behind Lu Yuan. "Lu, you must help me this time, Gulliver knows too many things and secrets about me. If it's just an ordinary kidnapping for ransom, it's okay, but Gulliver has been missing for two days, and his kidnappers haven't contacted me, and I'm afraid there are other factors we don't know about. ”

Lu Yuan knew what Hans was worried about, and since the last time he talked to Lu Yuan, Hans had been secretly planning to evacuate Macau. Hans had many men, and he couldn't leave alone, so Gulliver, as an accountant, knew a lot about Hans's arrangement. If Gulliver was taken away by German intelligence, or if Gulliver told Hans without knowing it, this would be a talisman for Hans.

"Lu, as long as you help me this time, I will provide you with all the weapons and equipment you need in the future." Lu Yuan has never had the habit of working for nothing without taking money, and Hans also expressed his sincerity in a timely manner. "I have already arranged for people in the United States, as long as the kind of communication tools you mentioned start to equip the US military units, my people will send the best to Shanghai as soon as possible, I assure you." The sincerity shown by Hans was quite satisfactory to Lu Yuan, especially the walkie-talkie that Hans mentioned at the end, which may be the equipment that Lu Yuan was most looking forward to.

"Hans, we're friends, I'll help you with this, but you'll have to give me some time." Lu Yuan smiled very happily, when he learned that Hans's men had almost searched the entire concession, Lu Yuan already had a rough direction of investigation in his heart. Those who can do this kind of thing in Shanghai, in addition to the gangsters in Shanghai, may only be Japanese with despicable personalities, if it is really the Japanese who do this, for Lu Yuan, it will be too easy to solve.
