Chapter 296: Resolution

Outside the port of Yokohama, fishing boats return to the harbor after a busy day, ready to go home and have a good rest.

"How's it going to be today?"

Standing at the bow of the fishing boat, a shirtless short middle-aged man smiled and asked a fishing boat that had just docked next to him.

Although it is said that they are like enemies, it is impossible to really die and not get along. What's more, the fishermen's profession is also a little different from some other industries, if something happens at sea, the only people who can save them are those who are also adrift at sea.

Several people from this fishing boat had been helped by the boat next to them once, and their words were inevitably much more cordial.

"It's okay," the fisherman who was busy putting the boat on the shore smiled helplessly, seeing that it was an acquaintance who asked. That's it..."

"yes," sighed, and the fisherman in the previous boat looked at a clearly different fishing boat a few dozen meters away. Now we're getting worse and harder..."

With the advancement and development of science and technology, motorized trawlers have gradually become common.

Compared to this new type of fishing vessel, the old fishing methods of the past have become somewhat outdated and inefficient. Although the boats are not too disruptive to other fishermen so far, it is clear to these fishermen that they are now able to catch far fewer fish than in the past.

Naturally, in the face of this situation, it is not without fishermen who have thought of selling their original fishing boats and replacing them with new trawlers. It's just that the price of this kind of fishing boat is very expensive, and it is not at all affordable for ordinary fishermen.

So in the absence of any other way. These fishermen can only live one day at a time.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that, I'll go to the restaurant I often go to for a drink. I'm in for a treat..."After a sigh, the fisherman from earlier invited the boat.

After all, the other party has helped him, so this kind of thing happens often.

After hearing his words, the fishermen in the other boat said with a smile. "Okay, then we're welcome..."

Soon after the fishing boats were set up, more than a dozen fishermen disembarked from the two boats and headed towards the so-called 'frequented' restaurant. For them. This kind of life has also become a kind of normal.

However, as they walked towards the restaurant, the fishermen did not notice that a pair of eyes were staring at them on a fishing boat not far away. It wasn't until they had left completely that the windows of the fishing boats were closed.

In the cabin of the fishing boat, Chen Qimei was kneeling face-to-face with a Japanese man in a kimono. At this time, the person who was looking outside just now also walked over and whispered to the two. "It's two groups of fishermen, and now they're gone..."

Hear the man's words. The Japanese sitting opposite Chen Qimei nodded slightly. Then he said to Chen Qimei: "Don't worry, Chen Jun, no one will find out about what you are doing here..."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass on the table and took a small sip.

Hearing his words, Chen Qimei nodded and didn't say anything more, but the person on the side was a little anxious. "But Aso-kun, there are people everywhere looking for Mr. Chen and them now. And the Nationalists also said, let's put the ...... on time They handed it over. If we don't, won't we..."

In Aso's opinion, if the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang can fight to the death, it would really be a good thing, but these words can never be said to Chen Qimei, so Aso can only speak. "The most important thing now is Chen Jun's safety, and at the moment the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang are looking for Chen Jun..."

Saying that, Aso looked at Chen Qimei: "But please rest assured Chen Jun, whether it is the Kuomintang or the National Socialist Party, it is impossible to think that you will be here..."

Nodding slightly, Chen Qimei didn't say anything more.

Because he really has nothing to say.

When the plan was carried out at the beginning, the Black Dragon Society had already made it very clear to him and others that if the plan was successful, then the Kuomintang could take this opportunity to get Anhui. If it fails, then Chen Qimei and they have to stand up and take responsibility.

Chen Qimei was born in the Green Gang, and she was originally a singleton habit, and she was eager to take revenge, so she nodded and agreed. That being the case, he naturally has nothing to say, and now, as Aso said, the most important thing is to hide first.

Tokyo is definitely not safe, because according to the intelligence of the Black Dragon Society, the office of the Yushi Group in Japan is simply the branch of the Special Affairs Bureau in Japan. It's just that because all the business done there is legitimate, and it is also inextricably linked with the interests of many chaebols in Japan, even the Black Dragon Society does not dare to act rashly.

In addition, many people in the Kuomintang are also looking for Chen Qimei, if Chen Qimei is really allowed to stay in Tokyo, the probability that he will be found is as high as 90%

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"You can live here in peace now, when the wind is over, we are thinking of other ways, as for the statement of the National Socialist Party, you don't need to worry about it for the time being, don't forget that even if that Yan Shao really wants to do something, there is still a Beiyang on his head..." After nodding to Chen Qimei, the man pushed open the wooden door of the fishing boat, and then walked down from the fishing boat.

After Aso left, the man in the cabin stood beside Chen Qimei. "Is that really it? Those Japanese made it clear that they would leave us behind when they were done using us..."

"Otherwise, what can you do..."Getting up from her seat, Chen Qimei said in annoyance. Now we are begging the Japanese, not the Japanese, we are really going to make a fuss, and we will only suffer..."

With Chen Qimei's character, if she is used like this, she will fall to the side, and it is naturally impossible to really give up. It's just that he also knows that he can be in such an environment now, completely because of the protection of the Japanese, and now he can't turn his face with the Japanese at all, he can only do whatever the Japanese say, and then live a life of swallowing his anger on this small fishing boat...

Just when Chen Qimei was still losing her temper on the fishing boat, several were wearing civilian clothes. A very ordinary-looking man also walked into the harbor.

Although very secretive, if one could look closely, they would see that these people were observing the entire harbor in their own way.

"Is it really here?"

Glancing at a building not far away. The man in the lead asked quietly.

"That's it," the other person nodded. According to our information, someone once saw an important figure of the Kuomintang come here and then disappeared, although this information is a bit crude, but for now, this is the most reliable information we can have..."

"Very wellβ€”" nodded to the leader. The above means: If the Kuomintang can't call all 57 people out after the one-week deadline is up, then we'll do it ourselves, so in this one-week period. You must find out all the whereabouts of these 57 people, do you know the way? ”

"Understood..."

Since the assassination was over, the Black Dragon Society had hidden all 57 people who had cooperated with them. Among them, Chen Qimei, who plays the most important role, is naturally the most tightly hidden.

Yan Shao has always regarded Japan as an enemy country in the past. Needless to say, the reason goes without saying.

Also for this reason. The strength of the Special Service Bureau in Japan can be said to be one of the strongest in overseas regions. It's just that no matter how powerful the Special Affairs Bureau is, it is impossible to know everything, and the Anqing incident is an example.

What's more, this time it happened too suddenly, and in a week, it would not be easy to find out all of them with the ability of the Special Affairs Bureau.

In the past, although the Special Affairs Bureau has made a lot of efforts within the Black Dragon Society, as once said, the Black Dragon Society is a right-wing organization. It is not monetary benefits that support this organization, but other components. Therefore, if you want to deal with the Kuomintang and Beiyang through bribery, the efficiency is not very high. Even now, the power of the Special Affairs Bureau in Japan is only to buy some low-level personnel.

But even if it's just a low-level person, it can play a big role.

After all, many things have to be handled by such people...

So in a short period of time, the Secret Service has discovered the exact whereabouts of seven or eight people, and as for the others, they are still working hard.

Among these 57 people, Chen Qimei's whereabouts are undoubtedly the most important, after all, he is one of the main participants in this incident. Even if it is not an exaggeration to describe him as the culprit, it is just that the Black Dragon Society also protects him the most.

So far, the Secret Service has only found Yokohama based on a few clues...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

57 people, all of whom were sent to Anhui, with a time limit of one week.

This was the condition that Yan Shao gave to the Kuomintang, and after this condition was reported, the sensation caused in China was definitely no less than the assassination incident.

Because no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for the Kuomintang to hand over all 57 people.

This is not only because the number of people is too large, but also because many of them are high-level and even core figures of the Kuomintang, and they are very involved with each other. Even if they knew that it was indeed their fault for the Dao, they would not be able to hand it over.

What's more, if you really want to be so obedient, then the Kuomintang will be too faceless.

"Do you think the Kuomintang will hand people over?" In the Iron Lion Alley, Yuan Shikai looked at several staff, including Yang Shiqi, and said with a solemn expression.

What is happening now is also the first time he has encountered it, and no one knows what the result will be, so Yuan Shikai has to deal with it carefully.

"Definitely not..."Liang Shiyi shook his head. This time, including Chen Qimei, there are almost seven or eight high-level people in the Kuomintang, and most of the rest are some stalwarts, if they really want to hand over all of them, not to mention the issue of face for the time being, the loss to the Kuomintang will definitely not be small, so even if the Anhui side has given a time limit, the Kuomintang will not be able to hand over the people..."

"And according to the information we have got..."After thinking about it, Yang Shiqi on the side also spoke. Since the incident, those 57 people have all disappeared, and now even the Kuomintang itself doesn't know where those people are now, even if they want to, they can't hand them over..."Speaking of this, Yang Shiqi looked at Yuan Shikai. "Gong Bao, this matter is a little strange, 57 big living people disappeared so suddenly, this is probably not something that Chen Qimei or the Kuomintang can do. I'm afraid there are others behind the scenes..."

When he said this, Yang Shiqi's face was a little cautious.

The Kuomintang was able to assassinate Yan Shao, this Yang Shiqi is not surprising. Because there are many kinds of assassination, if you take out a pistol on the street and shoot, this is also a kind of assassinationβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” even if it is unsuccessful, but this kind of assassination, no matter how tight your defense means, it is impossible to prevent them all.

But 57 people, all of a sudden, disappeared after such a big thing...

You must know that these 57 people are not all in Japan, but some are also in China. Even the activities in the area of the North Ocean disappeared all at once. With Yang Shiqi's understanding of Chen Qimei, this kind of thing will definitely not be something that Chen Qimei can do...

"Then you say. Who will do it? Although there was some speculation, Yuan Shikai still asked his own brain.

"The Japanese..."After thinking about it, Yang Shiqi said. At present, only the Japanese have this ability. There's a reason for that..."

The British do it. There is no reason not to tell Yuan Shikai. After all, Zhu Erdian and Yuan Shikai are close friends, even if this matter is for the benefit of the British Empire, with Yuan Shikai's assistance, he will be more sure.

As for the French, France does not have much power in China, not to mention that their relationship with Yan Shao is just right, and there is no reason for this.

As for the Germans? Russian? These two are even more unreasonable.

At present, there seem to be only three forces in China: Beiyang, the Kuomintang, and the Kuomintang Socialist Party, but the Kuomintang is well aware of them. If you are in Beiyang, they themselves are Beiyang. If there is such a thing, there is no reason why Yuan Shikai would not tell them...

As for the National Socialist Party? Yang Shiqi also knows some about the situation.

The situation was indeed very dangerous, the whole car was blown up and twisted, and there was no reason to play such a game even if you wanted to play a bitter trick.

In fact, if Yan Shao is not sitting in a special version of the bulletproof car, the body has steel plates, the glass is all bulletproof glass, and the chassis of the car is also reinforced with steel plates, more than ten grenades, it is really difficult to say whether Yan Shao can survive or not...

So there is only one reason at the moment, the Japanese...

Yang Shiqi also knows a little about the grievances between the Japanese and Yan Shao, and the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Japanese has always been close, so it seems that only the Japanese have a reason to do so.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"That's it..."Yuan Shikai nodded. So what do you think we should do now? ”

"Wait and see." Yang Shiqi said without hesitation. "In the early stage, public opinion was inclined to Anhui, but then I am afraid that this attitude will change somewhat. Didn't Yan Shao say it? Within one week, let the Kuomintang hand over all the people, but what if the Kuomintang does not hand it over? If you don't pay it, what should Yan Shao do? If he swallows his anger like this, I am afraid that both inside and outside Anhui will look down on him as weak, but if he uses force, I am afraid that the public opinion that was originally inclined to him will change direction, and at that time, it is the best time for us to stand up..."

"The Kuomintang, the rabble, has never been a troublesome problem, and the real trouble for us is in Anhui. That Yan Shao is at a young and vigorous age, and when someone suddenly comes to him so suddenly, the possibility of revenge is very high, and then we can take the opportunity to jump out and unite with the Kuomintang to clean him up, so that there will be no more threats in the country..."

Yang Shiqi never felt that the Kuomintang was in trouble, but the development of Anhui had always made him vigilant. It's just that in the past half a year, Beiyang has been involved in too much energy by the affairs of Outer Mongolia, and even until now, there is a division of troops left in Kulun and Kobdo, even if they want to deal with Anhui, there is no excuse.

But now...

was assassinated, and now public opinion is indeed on Yan Shao's side, but as long as Yan Shao shows signs of armed retaliation, public opinion will turn to the side of the Kuomintang. As the central government, one of the most important tasks of Beiyang is to maintain peace between the provinces.

If Yan Shao used force without authorization, Yuan Shikai would have a reason to move his army south and completely solve the problem of Anhui.

Having said that, basically everyone present has already heard it very clearly.

It's just because of this that the faces of Liang Shiyi and the others have changed. "If you really want to fight, will it be rushed? Now there is a division in Outer Mongolia that is still in Outer Mongolia, and the remaining newly recruited troops have no combat effectiveness, in case of..."

"Eh..."Yuan Shikai waved his hand. That's right, it's a bit hasty now, but don't forget, the longer our side drags on, the more stable the Anhui side will be, and if it drags on, even if the strength of more than ten divisions on our side is ready, I'm afraid that part of Anhui is not so easy to bite, so it's better to take advantage of this opportunity to unite with the Kuomintang to solve the problem in Anhui, as long as the problem in Anhui is gone, there is only one Kuomintang left, and nothing can be done..."

Perhaps because of the stimulus of France, the big loan for the aftermath that should have been very troublesome went very smoothly, although it was received in batches, but now Yuan Shikai's hands are much richer than a year ago.

If you have money in your hand, you will naturally have confidence in your heart...

Like Yang Shiqi, Yuan Shikai didn't think the Kuomintang was a problem, but last year, in order to solve the affairs of Outer Mongolia, he had to cooperate with the Anhui side. Now that the matter in Anhui has been resolved, and the first loan has been received, if Anhui continues to develop like this, whether Yan Shao chooses to write or choose to come to Wu, it will be a huge threat to Yuan Shikai... (To be continued......)
