2-1

Liang Liqun walked to the window, there was a three-step, one-post, five-step and one-sentry on the Guofu Road, except for the military vehicles coming and going, and the Japanese troops in yellow military uniforms lined up and going, and the shadow of half of the citizens could not be seen. The Sun Flag has been raised in the Executive Yuan Building of the Nationalist Government across the road, which has become the headquarters of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army.

The Japanese army was quite polite and placed himself in a central hotel suite across the road. This former most luxurious hotel in Nanjing City is still comfortable, but it has become the temporary office location of the Central China Front Military Intelligence Department.

"Mr. Liang, please believe me, Ling Mei and I are also alumni, there is no reason to harm you, please consider my position, what I can't do, I can't promise."

Kenichi Ishikawa looked a little anxious, he had reverted to his Chinese name, "Shi Zhongyi", in front of Liang Liqun.

"Mr. Ishikawa, oh, Mr. Shi, if you don't let go of a few of my friends and let me go back to Shanghai with you, it will be impossible."

Ishikawa and Liang Liqun's bargaining has been going on for a while, and when the Japanese in front of him took the risk of turning his face with Yamada to pull him back from the line of death, he already understood that thanks to the blessing of the family, he would not die in Nanjing, so he was full of resentment, and in the face of Ishikawa's request, he just did not let go.

At the moment of the catastrophe, Liang Liqun found that he had forgotten to be afraid.

He had long noticed Ishikawa, in the middle of a group of Japanese soldiers with fierce eyes and expressionless faces, and suddenly a polite reporter entered him, and he realized that there might be a glimmer of life.

He had studied in Japan and was proficient in Japanese, plus he was standing in the front row at the time, and he heard Yamada's words clearly, and he knew that it was a trap for him to ask the Chinese soldiers to surrender, so he lowered his voice and warned Yu Xiaoshu beside him for the first time. However, as soon as the words came out, Kenichi Ishikawa turned his head, and he realized that this Japanese devil could understand Chinese, whether it was a curse or a blessing?

The Japanese man didn't seem to know who was talking, and he didn't intend to pursue it. He was fighting fiercely in his heart, and he had long known that the Japanese army had strict control over public opinion, and he didn't know if this Japanese reporter had any binding force on these soldiers.

He was thinking in his heart, and the translator's series of persuasions had an effect, Huang Wuning was young and vigorous, and he had already admitted his military identity and threw himself into the truck, but fortunately, Zhou Jingcheng was still calm.

Shot, shot, shot again, the breath of death was thick and concrete, like a thick black mist, so that he couldn't breathe, his heart beat hard in his chest, thumping, puffing all the blood into his brain, and it was at this moment that Yamada's conversation of ordering the interpreter to shout Limasa reached his ears, and he looked at the captives standing beside him, and said in his heart, it's over.

Originally, the four of them were in the depths of the crowd and were blocked by others, but as fewer and fewer people stayed in place, they unknowingly became the front row. The target was too obvious, he couldn't speak to remind him anymore, and in a hurry, he could only stretch out his legs and trip Yu Xiaoshu. As for Zhou Jingcheng, he really couldn't take care of it.

"Stand upright!"

All the soldiers of the national army who have been trained for a long time have subconsciously touched their heels and stood up straight.

As a result, the Japanese army once again carried out public executions on the most prosperous streets of Nanjing, and another round of massacres.

At this time, Liang Liqun already regretted a little, why didn't he listen to that Gan Zhaolin's words, honestly hide in the house, and avoid the limelight in the past few days. As for the Japanese army's repeated carpet inventory of the remnants, he did not know at the time.

If sooner or later it is a death, why can't he be happy, such rounds of torture, he feels that he is about to collapse.

Before he could collapse, something happened to Yu Xiaoshu.

It's really a person who is afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, why is this Yu Xiaoshu so restless!

As if he didn't have a brain at all, he jumped out as if he had fallen into an evil spirit, opened his mouth and shouted a long list of words that he didn't know what they were, and then, the situation was chaotic all of a sudden.

Liang Liqun was talking nonsense in Japanese, Tetsuya Kamiyama, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the Japanese names he remembered popped up one after another, and he roared and said, but his eyes looked at Kenichi Ishikawa, the Japanese reporter who seemed to be polite.

Sure enough, before Yamada could react, Ishikawa quickly jumped out and stopped Yamada with the Japanese military police who were traveling with him, knowing that they hadn't figured out his identity for a while, and began to yell at Ishikawa even louder.

"Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang, if you don't shut up and annoy them, I can't help it!"

Ishikawa was also anxious.

"You have a way! You have a way! ”

Liang Liqun was very excited, the Japanese military police are military discipline police, just now he didn't notice that Ishikawa was still followed by a military policeman, he felt a hope in his heart, he felt that it might be the threat he complained about that played a role, maybe it was his claim that he had a relationship with the commander of the Ninth Division, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, and his thinking was like a train about to derail, with the wheels slipping, the piercing screams and sparks on the tracks......

"Calm down, calm down!"

Kenichi Ishikawa pressed his shoulders tightly, and he continued to struggle from side to side and continue to babble. It wasn't until Yamada put the cold muzzle directly on his head and pressed the ** down that he realized that he couldn't continue.

Yamada glanced at Liang Liqun coldly, pointed at Yu Xiaoshu, and said, "And you, out of the ranks." ”

"The biting man in the car is also with us!" Yu Xiaoshu refused to miss the opportunity, and said to Ishikawa with a stiff neck.

Yamada glanced at Liang Liqun and said in Japanese, "Take him down too." ”

The Japanese embassy is still an empty house at the moment, and it was a surprise to find Liang Liqun, and Ishikawa Kenichi did not go to the international security zone, and accompanied by the military police, Liang Liqun and his party were all taken back to the Central Hotel.

Soon, Liang Liqun understood that what saved him from death was not his accusation, nor was it his haphazard arrangement of the relationship with Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the commander of the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army, it was precisely his father Liang Chengjie.

The public identity of the Japanese in front of him is that of a military reporter of the Tokyo Mainichi Shimbun, and his real identity is a special agent of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The two pieces of news that Kenichi Ishikawa brought made him stunned.

First, he told Liang Liqun that he was entrusted by Liang Chengjie, chairman of the Shanghai Provisional Economic Work Committee, to inquire about him in Nanjing. Second, he is an alumnus of his sister Liang Xinyi Fudan University, and hopes that Liang Liqun can cooperate with the work, and he will do his best to protect Liang Liqun's personal safety.

Liang Liqun was stunned, his father entrusted the Japanese to rescue him? Did he fall overboard and become a traitor? How can my sister have a Japanese alumnus?

"My father's commission?" Liang Liqun has a question mark in his head.

Ishikawa saw his surprise and explained, "The Provisional Economic Work Committee is still being prepared, and Chairman Liang has not yet officially taken office. ”

"You mean, he's already agreed?"

Kenichi Ishikawa did not answer the question.

Liang Liqun's brain is not enough, he has many Japanese friends, and he has lived in Japan for a long time, however, he can't imagine how the usually modest and polite Japanese suddenly mutated into a demon, at this moment, he also can't believe that Lao Liang, an old member of the League, will choose to cooperate with the Japanese when the country is in trouble.

Soon he realized that he was thinking too much, and it didn't matter whether Lao Liang cooperated with the Japanese or not, the important thing was that the Japanese took a fancy to the influence of the Liang family in Shanghai, and he didn't have to worry about his life for the time being.

This Ishikawa said that Lao Liang fell into the water, is he talking nonsense? What is the purpose of his hard work to find himself in Nanjing City?

From childhood to adulthood, when encountering a difficult choice, Liang Liqun would choose to empty his brain, and now, he is emptying again.

Ishikawa Kenichi was a little annoyed, he had been talking to Liang Liqun for a long time, the other party was absent-minded, looking at this boy on the street, he didn't feel like a hard-headed person, but how to talk about it, the more he felt that it was negotiable, the more he had to put forward conditions, is this his business family, so he developed the habit of bargaining?

Returning to Shanghai to reunite with his family, and of course serving the new government in Shanghai organized by the Japanese side, or staying in Nanjing, waiting for the Central China Front to send him a bullet, such a simple multiple-choice question, this person will actually get stuck.

Liang Liqun's condition was to release the other two government soldiers who were arrested with him, Yu Xiaoshu and Huang Wuning, a technical engineer from the Second Division of the Military Command Bureau, otherwise, he claimed to have died in the Central Hotel and would not move a single step.

"It's a good place, how many people have lived! I'm not leaving! ”

Liang Liqun simply sat down, snuggled into the leather sofa, and closed his eyes.

Ishikawa Kenichi shook his head angrily, if he could, he really wanted to handcuff this bastard guy, press him back to Shanghai, put it directly in front of his Lao Tzu's eyes, and then put a gun on the head of Liang Chengjie, the only son.

But he is not a soldier, and he can't just shoot when he encounters an unsolvable problem like an ordinary soldier. He is a diplomat, and there is no such thing as a brutal option in the problems he faces every day. Moreover, although Liang Liqun is shrewd, he is not firm, and he still wants to use him to plot against his father who does not enter the oil and salt.

"Mr. Liang, it is remarkable that you graduated from a prestigious school like Hosei University in Japan, and at a critical juncture, you can disregard the interests of your friends, I admire you even more, and I fully believe that you have the courage to do what you say. However, you must also understand that Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of War are two systems. ”

"I know this, what do you mean?" Liang Liqun opened his eyes.

"All the officials of the Japanese Embassy in Nanjing are still outside the city, and I dare to guarantee that I am the only one who wants you to return to Shanghai safely in Nanjing!" Kenichi Ishikawa paused for a moment, "And the two of us are now in the hands of the Army. ”

He spoke very slowly in the second half of the sentence, hoping that Liang Liqun would understand the seriousness of the problem.

Liang Liqun's chaotic thinking was opened by Ishikawa's words, that's right, what about the people in the special high class of the Central China Front? So far, he has not come into contact with the special intelligence department of the Japanese army, and the Japanese military, which has been fighting bloody battles all the way and advancing brutally, does not have such a good temper as Ishikawa, and it seems that it is not quite right to give this "Shi Zhongyi" conditions.

He dared to make conditions with Ishikawa, of course, because of Ishikawa's status, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a diplomatic agency, and the ways and means of handling problems are relatively gentle. However, Ishikawa's words reminded him that, judging from the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing today, the Japanese Army, which was invincible in the Chinese battlefield, was now full of ambition and triumphant, and did not take international public opinion into account at all, and of course, it did not take its own Ministry of Foreign Affairs into account at all.

With the current situation, in case the Japanese Army wants to deal with itself, the polite Ishikawa Kenichi in front of him may not be able to stop him, and Yamada Kazumitsu's fierce appearance comes to mind again.

"Mr. Liang, don't waste any more time, the military people will be here soon, if we can reach an agreement now, I will immediately report to my superior, Mr. Gu Hengtaro, Vice Consul of the Consulate General in Shanghai, and I can guarantee your safety. That's the most important thing right now, isn't it? ”

Liang Liqun thought clearly about the stakes, softened his tone, and said, "I want to repeat my conditions, even if you can't release Yu Xiaoshu and the person surnamed Huang, you must at least ensure their personal safety, otherwise I would rather die here than go back to Shanghai!" ”

Ishikawa Kenichi was helpless and said, "Mr. Liang, I promise with my personal reputation that I will try my best to ensure their safety." ”

"Okay, that's a deal."

Ishikawa was overjoyed and said, "Then I'll go and report now!" ”

"Wait," Liang Liqun stopped Ishikawa again, "I have one more condition, which is related to my net worth and life, if you don't agree, I won't go back." ”

Kenichi Ishikawa was a little anxious, "Mr. Liang?!" You don't have time, don't forget, we're all on the territory of the Central China Front now! ”

Liang Liqun just shook his head, "I don't care, I want to go to Hong Kong first, stay for a while, and then go back to Shanghai, I won't get out of your control, but you can't make it public right now that I've cooperated with you." ”

"I don't understand what you mean? It's only a day's journey to Shanghai, what are you going to do in circles to Hong Kong? ”

Liang Liqun showed a bitter expression, "I said Ishikawa-kun, this day's road is not easy to walk!" Let's not talk about the chaos on the road, you have to go through the arrangement of your army to pass the pass, you know, what department of the national government I work in! The Military Command Bureau, like your special high class, is an intelligence agency! Boss Xu in the first place and Boss Dai in the second place are all people like the living Hades! I'm the current deputy director of the Third Division, and now I'm back in Shanghai to vote for the sun, do you want me to die? ”

"You're saying you're going to be assassinated?"

"Definitely, will! You don't know, they have a lot of energy, and once they know that I work for Japan, I have a destiny to go on the road and not a destiny to go home! Moreover, not only me, but even my father is also in danger, by the way, and Xinyi, Xinyi is also dangerous! ”

Liang Liqun said while observing Ishikawa Kenichi, and found that when Liang Xinyi was mentioned, Ishikawa's expression changed significantly. Her younger sister has always been uneasy and rebellious, and she has always been an anti-Japanese activist in Fudan, and she doesn't know how she could have anything to do with a Japanese like Ishikawa.

"I hadn't thought about that before."

Liang Liqun circled around the room, fully unleashing his ability to open his mouth, "Also, my father, you must have dealt with him, to be honest, I don't believe he will cooperate with you at all!" I'm rushing back to Shanghai now, and he sees that I'm so easy to fall into the water, and he won't have to wait for you to shoot me, he'll kill me first! In this way, not only did you not win Liang Chengjie's cooperation, but also lost a bargaining chip to deal with him, which is more important, you consider it yourself! ”

Kenichi Ishikawa frowned and said, "Mr. Liang, you mean that you need to go to Hong Kong and make a transition?" ”

"That's right, your construction of Shanghai is not an overnight thing, and now that it is wartime, who dares to risk the world's condemnation to do things for you! Without this transition time, it would be a death to go back! ”

"After a while, things will change?"

"You know, there's an old Chinese saying that a shot shoots a bird in the head. My colleague, why he was reported, is that when he was dredging the traffic at the city gate of Nanjing, he made a speech in public, and the consequences were very serious! I don't do such a thing! I want to go back to Shanghai to work for you, and I will never take the lead, and, Ishikawa, think about it, what has China been in chaos in the past few decades, Liang Chengjie doesn't know how many winds and waves he has passed, if a Liang Liqun can coerce him, then how did he get to today's prestige and foundation? ”

Liang Liqun noticed that Ishikawa seemed to be a little moved, so he immediately sighed and continued to strike while the iron was hot, "The current situation, Japan has absolute military superiority, I am worried about the national government, after some time, as long as your overwhelming military superiority does not disappear, I believe that there will be more and more Chinese working for Japan, at that time, I can play a better role, even in the Military Control Bureau, I will not be the most outstanding one!" ”

"It's very reasonable, you really can't rush it, and besides, the times create heroes, and all influential big people will take advantage of the trend, but it takes a little time." Ken Ishikawa nodded.

"That's right, Ishikawa-kun, you are remarkable, you understand the essence of our Chinese culture. When that time comes, I will go home again, and everyone will rejoice! ”

Liang Liqun is talking and gushing here, in fact, the purpose is very simple, he has always played a procrastination decision when he encounters problems that cannot be solved, no matter what, it can be delayed for a day, speaking of Liang Chengjie, with his situation today, he is really afraid to see it. Although his father began to fight in all directions as early as he was in prison, trying to save himself, if he really became a traitor and stood in front of him, he would really be shot to death by him.

This risk cannot be taken!

How good Hong Kong is, the territory of the British, even if the Japanese follow him firmly, they cannot completely control themselves, and there are many acquaintances, as long as he arrives in Hong Kong, he is determined to use all his tricks, lazy there, rooted there, and dying there!

Japan? Haven't been, where? Japanese? I haven't learned, I don't understand! Japanese? Don't know, don't know, don't know!

"I understand what Mr. Liang means, time is pressing, please wait." Kenichi Ishikawa pushed the door and strode away, throwing Liang Liqun himself in the house.

Liang Liqun crossed his hands together, and his two thumbs circled around.

"Yu Xiaoshu, Yu Xiaoshu, it's not that I don't want to help you, I've done my best, and in the current situation, I can only take care of myself first!"

He muttered to himself, but the door opened, and he was shocked, thinking that Kenichi Ishikawa had returned, but it was a few strange Japanese people who entered.

The Japanese officer at the head had a strange smile on his face that he seemed to have seen on Yamada's face, before he fired.

Liang Liqun took several steps back in a row, and his legs and stomachs were tendoned.

The other party tilted his head to look at him, and his face became even more eccentric.

"Mr. Liang, hard work, I am Yutaka Uchino of the Special High Section of the Shanghai Military Police Command in Japan, a few days ago, we made a special trip to visit Mr. Liang Chengjie, and he also mentioned you."

"What do you want to do?" Probably instinctively, Liang Liqun felt that these people were 10,000 times more terrifying than Kenichi Ishikawa, and he blurted out the Japanese that he was just about to forget.

Uchino Feng looked at himself and his entourage, but found nothing unusual, and didn't know why Liang Liqun reacted so strangely.

He took a step forward, and Liang Liqun took a step back, could it be that the killing of Yamada's team frightened him? Or did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs make some secret deal with him?

Before Yutaka Uchino could figure it out, Kenichi Ishikawa had already pushed the door in, holding a stack of papers in his hand.

Seeing Yutaka Uchino, Ishikawa was stunned.

"Uchino Shaosa, Mr. Liang is an important target of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and has signed an agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and has decided to transfer to Hong Kong and return to Shanghai to contribute to Shanghai's economic work!"

"Oh, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also taking special care of Mr. Liang?" Yutaka Uchino's gaze stayed on the document in Ken Ishikawa's hand, "What is this?" ”

"This is Mr. Liang's intelligence cooperation agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! I was just reporting to His Excellency Tani Shotaro on the intelligence work here, and of course, I also asked for instructions on Mr. Liang's whereabouts. The implementation plan of Mr. Gu Heng to invite Mr. Liang Liqun to promote the work of the Provisional Economic Work Committee was also approved by His Excellency Yukio Takeuchi. ”

Kenichi Ishikawa said unhurriedly, Yukio Takeuchi, an officer with the rank of Daisa, from the Strategy Division of the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army, is now sitting in Shanghai, directing the intelligence work of the army, and the special high class of Yutaka Uchino is an important institution of Takeuchi's moderation. For the strong Uchino Yutaka, if he doesn't bring out Takeuchi, I'm afraid Liang Liqun will be robbed here.

"Well, please wait." Uchino Toyoko glanced at Kenichi Ishikawa suspiciously, and also retreated.

"Watch the door, no one is allowed to enter or leave without my orders!"

Uchino Feng's voice penetrated, and Liang Liqun was covered in a cold sweat.

As soon as the door closed, Ishikawa walked briskly to the table, took out the fountain pen he had with him, stuffed it into Liang Liqun's hand, and took out a small box of vermilion ink.

"Mr. Liang, quick, it won't take long for the special high class radio station to go back and forth with Shanghai, and he will be back soon."

Liang Liqun originally planned not to sign any written documents, as long as this money does not fall, there will always be a possibility of flatly denying it in the future.

However, the situation at this moment is beyond his control.

He followed Kenichi Ishikawa's fingers, wrote his name page by page, and pressed his handprint, without even having time to read the contents of the document.

As soon as he hurriedly signed it, Yutaka Uchino pushed the door open and strode in.

"Mr. Takeuchi has just communicated with Mr. Tani Tsunetaro, and he is not very clear about Mr. Liang's current detailed situation. Instructed me to learn more about your agreement. ”

"Yes," Kenichi Ishikawa said, standing up and handing over the agreement.

Uchino Yu read carefully line by line, and stared at Liang Liqun's fingers that were still stained with ink for a long time before closing the document and slowly placing it on the table.

"Ishikawa-kun is meticulous and thoughtful, and he has worked hard!"

With that, he opened the door and walked out.

"Uchino-kun, please stay," Ishikawa followed and went out the door, not forgetting to keep the agreement in his hand before leaving.

Liang Liqun's whole body collapsed and fell into the sofa.

It was over, the pledge, the affidavit, and the service regulations were all signed, on the day the capital of the Nationalist Government fell.

He Liang Liqun may be the first cadre of the central organ to defect in the intelligence agency of the entire national government, with this thing in Ishikawa's hands, no matter how he explains it to the Military Command Bureau, he can't wash away the fact that he fell into the water, and now, he can only follow the Japanese all the way to the black, and he has no choice.

It's over, it's over, it's all over this life.

Whether to go to Hong Kong or not, what's the point, if there is a gun, he really wants to collapse himself at the moment, however, can such an ending really be avoided and dragged over? Do you Liang Liqun really not know that there is today? As long as you live?

He knew that if he fell into the hands of the Japanese, he didn't want to die, and it was a matter of time before he fell into the water, but this "sooner or later" would inevitably come too quickly.

In the hallway outside the door, Yutaka Uchino looked at Kenichi Ishikawa.

"You won, I shouldn't have sent a report to verify, it's rare to be able to take away the important criminals of the Army Province here."

"Uchino Shaosa, don't forget, he was brought by me, if it weren't for me, he would probably have been crossed. Moreover, in order to smoothly resolve the incident in China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Army should work together! Speaking of which, I have to say that there are still many foreign journalists in the city who shoot prisoners in the streets at will, rape and kidnap civilians in a premeditated manner, and the military discipline is so corrupt that within a few days it will spread all over the world. Leaving aside the pressure of public opinion on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the gendarmerie and the Central China Front Command will definitely be held accountable, and it is better for you to get out of it as soon as possible. ”

"Anything else?" Yutaka Uchino disagreed.

Ishikawa smiled, "I know that the Shanghai Special High School is looking for Chinese special agents who can be used, and there are two more people here, and I am willing to give them to Uchino-kun." ”

"Oh? Who? ”

"Liang Liqun's colleague, Yu Xiaoshu, a major intelligence officer of the Second Division of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the National Government, and the former deputy head of the Shanghai District of the Fuxing Society's Special Service Office, and his assistants are still being detained here."

"Blue Coat Society?"

Yutaka Uchino's eyes lit up.

It is certainly a big failure to lose the east corner and harvest the mulberry elm, and it is a big failure to be taken away by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but it is not a gain to get a core member of the Fuxing Society, the backbone of the secret service in charge of the work in Shanghai of the Lixing Society.

"Thanks for the reminder!"

Yutaka Uchino nodded in acknowledgment and turned away with a blank face.
