Chapter 156: First Sight of the Shadow
Han Lin also remembered that the real rise of Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao was after the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the fall of Shanghai, at this time he was still a small role, and he did not have the right to speak in the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army.
Since the other party has found himself, then try his best to give him a little "good impression" to lay the foundation for future contact, and the early investment will always be rewarded.
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's time in Shanghai will not be too long, if he can contact him a few more times during this time, it will have a great impact on the future, and this old spy will not think that someone can predict the trajectory of his career.
"Mr. Han seems to be more interested in our Great Japanese Empire?" Kagesa asked with a smile.
The military police command of the Jinling government hired Japanese military police officers as instructors, and the military police commander Gu Zhenglun and deputy commander Shen Tingchan also graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School.
"I have always admired the strength of the empire, especially after the Meiji Restoration, when it became the only country in Asia to complete the industrial revolution, laying a deep industrial foundation for economic take-off and becoming a world power!"
"Not only me, in fact, many people believe that if our Jinling government wants to complete the historical mission of becoming a strong country, it should learn from the successful experience of the empire, strengthen cooperation with the empire, reduce its own detours, and perfectly replicate such a model." Han Lin said.
Han Lin's flattery of Japan is not all false sycophancy, and the industrial revolution after the Meiji Restoration has indeed greatly increased Japan's national strength, which is an indisputable fact.
"I think it is very wise for Mr. Han to think so, and it is most in line with China's prospects and interests, but it is a pity that the current Jinling government is at the top of the government, they are more inclined to contact Western countries and refuse the help of the empire, I feel very sorry." Kagesa said.
He was tempted!
If Han Lin is not as simple as it seems, and his hidden identity is an intelligence agent, then he will continue this topic, and if Han Lin has a strong pro-Japanese tendency, he will also continue the topic.
"I'm just casually talking about my personal thoughts, and besides, people are soft-spoken, how can I, as a military police major, make arbitrary comments on this kind of strategic decision that has a bearing on the fate of the country and the nation? This time I went to Shanghai, I was thinking about how to go next, I don't like the general environment of the Jinling government, and I plan to do some business in my spare time. ”
"I will soon set up my own trading company in Shanghai, I have just negotiated with American businessmen about the purchase channels, and then I will set up my own club, just on Petain Road, mainly a gathering between merchants, but in such an environment, officials and businessmen, and even the army, have always been inseparable, if Kagesa-kun has time, welcome to come." Han Lin said.
"Of course, if I have time, I will participate in the activities of the club, and I am also happy to meet some new friends." Kagesa said.
Han Lin wants to set up his own trading company in Shanghai, and Han Lin wants to set up his own club in Shanghai, which are two small gains.
The two met for the first time, and after chatting for half an hour, Kagesa-zhen said goodbye and returned to the hall.
Ikotaro Stone, who was originally a symbolic participant, has already left, and Han Lin is not qualified to enter the sight of a consul general for such a trivial matter, but Kazuki Takashima is still waiting for him here.
"How does it feel?" Kazuki Takashima asked.
"After all, it is the first contact, and the information I get is relatively small, my feeling is, first, he does have a good impression of the empire in his heart, mainly because the strength of the empire has given him a strong ideological impact, and there are many people who have this kind of thought, and they dare to think like this, they may not dare to do this."
"Second, Han Lin is not satisfied with the current situation of the Jinling government, but he is unwilling to do things, and there is evasion, listening to him say that he will open a trading company in Shanghai in the near future, it shows that he pays more attention to personal interests and has pessimism about China's current situation."
"Third, I personally think that he has not yet contacted our ideas, and he has spoken to the point, for this person, I suggest that your secret services should not be in a hurry, he can't bring us much value now, and can be used as a long-term influence slowly."
"I think he may bring us a bigger surprise, have you noticed, he has recently connected with the diplomatic institutions of the United States and Germany, although it may not necessarily have something to do with intelligence, but our agents can change the nature of this relationship, and can play a small auxiliary role in our access to international intelligence." Kagesa said.
After the ball, Han Lin sent Tang Ying home first, then drove to the wharf, handed over the silver of the freighter, agreed to handle the payment tomorrow afternoon, and then sent Cao Jiandong and the four to the city.
The concession area of Shanghai is a city that never sleeps, and it is very lively at night, there are many people who set up stalls, and the five people parked their cars on the side of the road and found a small stall to eat Yangchun noodles.
"Dahu City, a veritable international metropolis, look at the scenery at night, neon lights flickering all night, lights everywhere, look at the street after twelve o'clock, there are so many vehicles and pedestrians, it's too prosperous!" Cao Jiandong said with a sigh.
"I really want to go to Paramount to have a look, I heard that there are many beautiful women there, and it is the most famous entertainment place in Dahu!" Shen Mingfeng said with a smile.
"Just your income and think of Paramount chic, a night's expenses, if you meet the kind of beautiful lady who is open individually, something else happens, even if the boy is handsome, you have to drink the northwest wind for a month, if you are fascinated, the life of the big Shanghai market is not as simple as you think."
"But you don't have to be too anxious, I will arrange for you to take turns to come to Shanghai to familiarize yourself with the situation, and when the time comes, I will pay for you to let you see the drunken gold fans of Paramount, everyone has a chance, but my money is not spent in vain, the situation of Paramount must be clearly written down for me when I come back, it is a reconnaissance operation."
"All the people in our field team must have their own cover status in the public concession or the French concession, and they must be able to withstand regular investigations, so you must have your own rented house, and you must come to Shanghai to live for a few days every month, and slowly integrate into this international metropolis, the concession of China's shame for a hundred years. I'm the same, I've been here for more time, and I need your help for some work. Han Lin said.
Although there are still more than two years before the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, the preparations that should be made are now to be done, in addition to Shanghai, he also has to prepare to arrange a foothold in the mountain city, the urban area will definitely face the threat of big bombing, so he must build his own place in the suburbs.
