Chapter 220: Negotiation

"Hey, take over the commander, I'm Kazukiyo Fujita."

Zhou Qinghe called the temporary office building of the Military Police Headquarters, and the call was quickly transferred.

"Fujita, where are you?"

"I'm eating here on the Bund."

"You'll go back to headquarters right away." After speaking, Iwasa Taro nodded the reason: "Matsui is coming to the headquarters, I have something to ask you about the concession, come back as soon as possible." ”

"Hey."

Sure enough, it was these people, Zhou Qinghe put down the phone and quickly thought about the strategy, if the purpose of Matsui and Tohi Yuan was for the Qing Gang, then the purpose of looking for him should be to make a deal with the Qing Gang more conveniently through him.

And once they reach a deal with the Green Gang, the spokesperson will definitely choose their own Tojo Akio, and Zhou Qinghe will inevitably be thrown away

This must not allow them to proceed like this.

The trouble is that once these two people ask for help, he, Zhou Qinghe, faces a general and lieutenant general, and there is no room for refusal at all.

Have you ever seen anyone from the Green Gang? Where have we got?

Thinking of this, Zhou Qinghe picked up the phone and called Zhang Xiaolin's house directly.

"Mr. Zhou, the master has gone out and hasn't come back yet."

"So, how long have you been out?"

"It's been more than an hour."

"Okay, I know, he's coming back, so I'll tell him I've looked for him."

"Hey, okay."

Zhang Xiaolin was not at home, which was a bit unfortunate, but Zhou Qinghe immediately thought that this might be the answer.

Zhang Xiaolin avoided him that there was no need for this, the business was still there, and it was indispensable to meet in the future, so the rest may be that the Japanese came to the door to talk about things, and he really hasn't come back yet.

Combined with Matsui's request to see him at the military police headquarters, it can be roughly inferred that they should have met Zhang Xiaolin, but Zhang Xiaolin must not have agreed happily, otherwise why bother looking for him?

It's a bit interesting, Zhang Xiaolin didn't agree, this life was not saved in vain.

Zhou Qinghe smiled slightly, and said to Shinozuka Shintomi and Yasuda Kenichi, who came to investigate the situation on the side, but couldn't understand Chinese: "The situation is not so bad, Zhang Xiaolin is a person who understands. ”

"Good, good." A smile suddenly appeared on the faces of the two of them.

"I'll go to the headquarters first."

The military police headquarters, it can be seen with the naked eye that the security work is much tighter, from the entrance of the temporary building to the reception room on the third floor, just on these three floors, inside and outside the door, Zhou Qinghe has found at least 30 unfamiliar faces.

What's even more excessive is that at the staircase on the third floor, even Zhou Qing and himself were stopped by the sergeants guarding and told them the identity of the gendarmerie captain, and the sergeants did not let them go, but wanted to report.

I'm really afraid of death.

Soon, Zhou Qinghe was allowed to enter.

Stepping into the door of the reception room, there were three people standing inside, the commander of the military police, the commander of the military police, General Matsui, the commander of the dispatch army, the head of the Kwantung Army's secret service, and Akio Tojo.

"Fujita, I'll introduce you"

After a brief introduction, Zhou Qinghe thought that there would be a period of negotiation, but Tu Feiyuan got up directly and said with his hands on the sofa: "We are short of time, I'll tell him on the way, then I'll go first." ”

"Okay, Fujita, General Tohi Yuan has something to ask you for, and you have to fully cooperate." Iwasa Taro said.

"Hey."

didn't give Zhou Qinghe time to understand the situation at all, Zhou Qinghe sat in the back seat with Tu Feiyuan at the request of Tu Feiyuan, and Akio Tojo was in the co-pilot.

"I heard that you used to lurk in the secret service in Nanjing?" Soil fat round broken interested asked.

"Yes." Zhou Qinghe nodded.

"How did you get in?"

Zhou Qinghe told the truth again, it was all the truth.

After listening to it, Tu Feiyuan commented: "Although Dai Yunong's secret service started later than the party investigation office, and its predecessor, the Lixing Society, had very general means in Manchuria, it is not difficult to see from Shanghai these days that the secret service has actually been making rapid progress, Dai Yunong is still quite a means, and it is commendable that you can lurk under him for so long." ”

"The general praised it, but your Chinese words are really good."

Tu Feiyuan and Zhou Qinghe spoke directly in Chinese, and the rumors were true, and Tu Feiyuan was extremely proficient in Chinese culture.

Tu Feiyuan smiled: "As a soldier, you naturally need to master and understand the national culture of the enemy, this is just the basic homework, you have a lot of advantages over Mingfu, you grew up in China, you know China very well, and Mingfu can't even speak Chinese, Mingfu, you should learn more about Chinese culture." ”

"What's there to learn, why not let the whole of Shanghai and even the whole of China speak Japanese in the future? The Chinese language will be made extinct in the future. Akio Tojo scoffed.

Tu Feiyuan laughed and shook his head.

"China's culture is very interesting, it has a long history, and the more you know, the more you will know that it is difficult for this people to be completely conquered.

Have there been fewer wars in this land over the past few thousand years? There is no lack of foreign invasion, dynastic change, we are foreign to the Chinese, the Qing Dynasty is also a foreign race to the Han people at that time, do you see that the Chinese are extinct? ”

"That's because they are not strong enough, our Great Japanese Empire is different, and it is completely possible to exterminate the Chinese!" Akio Tojo's mouth was very hard: "The current Shanghai is an example, in addition to the concession protected by the British and Americans, how many Chinese are there?" ”

Tu Feiyuan smiled: "Okay, kill them all, then let me ask you, who will defend such a large territory of China?" ”

"People from our country have moved here."

"Are there enough people?"

"Why is it not enough, all build big houses, everyone's house is hundreds of square meters, anyway, such a big place, if it is defeated, it must not be enjoyed by the people."

"Snort." Dobo Madoka was amused by Akio Tojo's words: "Akio, your idea is really a little naïve, don't talk about anything else, just talk about Manchuria."

When we conquered Manchuria, some people in the military department thought that we should abandon our domestic territory and let most people emigrate to Manchuria, first, to alleviate domestic contradictions, and second, to expand the territory.

For this reason, there are also people who have the same idea as you, kill all the Chinese in Manchuria and establish a Manchuria with only Japanese, do you know why it can't be carried out? ”

"Why?"

"Because the soldiers have to fight, they have to defend themselves against the Soviet army, they have to defend against the Chinese army, and our people used to enjoy a new life, not to help us farm, and we can't even be self-sufficient in basic food.

Young people have gone to war, who will farm the land? Who will be responsible for the basic functioning of the city?

The Qing Dynasty came from outside the Guan, why did they enter the Guannei from outside the Guan? Isn't it because Manchuria is a bitter cold place?

Our national immigrants used to be in this bitter and cold place, on the one hand, driven by the Chinese, to be the people, on the other hand, to kill all the Chinese, to farm the land themselves, in exchange for you, which do you choose? ”

"Then pick some obedient ones and help us do the work." Akio Tojo said that the soil is fat and round, and he just put on a bad attitude, how about love.

But Tu Feiyuan was not ready to let him go so easily, and continued to smile and say, "But how can it be so easy? At that time we had a period of control over the Chinese in Manchuria, do you know what the result was? It is rebellion, it is a treacherous method, and it is contrary to the yang and the yin.

The Han nationality has a long history of war, and they have a sense of resistance in their bones, and our people want to control them, and when they become masters, once the means are tougher, some of them will carry out resistance activities, and they will not be able to kill them all, and they are not afraid of death at all.

In the words of the Chinese, it is that those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, and they are rotten.

And we changed the way, ordering the soldiers to use gentle means to deal with them, and also to the citizens, do not treat the Chinese with an arrogant attitude, at least do not let them see it, absolutely do not provoke their anger, let them honestly cooperate to work for us. ”

"yes, isn't that okay?" Akio Tojo said casually.

Tu Feiyuan shook his head: "Then something even more terrible happened, we observed for a while, and actually found that the Chinese climbed up the pole, and our people were actually being assimilated." ”

"What is assimilation?"

"That is, after publicizing the Chinese and Japanese family, China and Japan really became a family, making friends, getting married, and even giving birth to children, because of social life together, a large amount of intelligence leakage, because of feelings, some of our countrymen have sympathy for the Chinese being enslaved by us, and they turned their heads to help the Chinese.

Let me ask you, if a Chinese and a Japanese have a child, is this child Chinese or Japanese? Will he be able to join the army? Can you be an official?

Twenty Chinese New Year's Eve years later, will it be the Chinese or the Japanese who will be in power?

These people who immigrated to Manchuria got married and scattered, but in the end, the Chinese were educated by us? Or did the Japanese disappear with assimilation? ”

"Yaga." Akio Tojo muttered in shock, this question was beyond the limit of his thinking, and it was very brain-burning.

But he figured it out: "There are too many Chinese, too cunning, and this kind of idea can be thought of." ”

"Yes, too many." Tu Feiyuan took a deep breath: "So it is impossible to exterminate the Chinese, it is easy to defeat China, but it is extremely difficult to completely cut off China, and in this process, we want to ensure the purity of the Yamato national bloodline, and the only way is to use China to control China." ”

"We control a small number of obedient Chinese, let the Chinese continue to manage the remaining Chinese, as long as interests, do not touch."

"This is the reason for using China to make China?" Akio Tojo understood and suddenly realized.

"Yes, just like the Little Tokyo Project you did in Shanghai, the Japanese live in Hongkou in the concession, and let the Chinese continue to live in the Chinese outside the concession, which is also the most suitable model for Shanghai."

"Then I'm doing it right." Akio Tojo couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Tu Feiyuan smiled indifferently: "This is only part of the reason, and part of it is the benefit of the war."

As I said just now, resistance is everywhere, the Chinese will not be honestly enslaved by us, militarily, we are much stronger than China, but in some non-military means, such as intrigue, our people are simply like students to the Chinese.

Therefore, the second part of using China to control China is to use the cunning of the Chinese to deal with the Chinese themselves. ”

Tu Feiyuan looked at Zhou Qinghe and said, "Fujita, I came to you today because I wanted to ask you for help."

The purpose of my visit to the concession is to prepare for the establishment of a new SH city government with a puppet regime like the Manchurian imperial family.

The situation in Shanghai is different from that in Manchuria, there are many interests, the situation in the concession is more complicated, and there are not many people who can eat, and the most suitable candidates are the people of the Green Gang.

The main reason why the big men of the Qinggang can eat well in Shanghai and have enough prestige is that they have enough Chinese under them to help us do things.

The most suitable candidate we selected was Zhang Xiaolin.

Among the three members of the Green Gang, the remaining two, one is biased towards France and the other is biased towards China, and only Zhang Xiaolin is the most suitable to win over.

For this reason, General Matsui and I went to meet him, but his attitude was a little strange."

When Tu Feiyuan said this, he looked at Zhou Qinghe and smiled meaningfully: "He didn't say no, but he also said what he meant in and out of his words, talking about this matter, I hope you are there."

Fujita, your relationship with Zhang Xiaolin is not ordinary, right? ”

"It's not ordinary." Zhou Qinghe nodded: "I helped him have surgery, and I have some medical business dealings with him." ”

"Then I'll leave the rest of the conversation to you, make sure to convince him to do things for us."

"What exactly needs to be done, or to what extent?" Zhou Qinghe had to understand what plans were in the soil and fertilizer.

"I've already talked to him about the general content, mainly two things, one is to serve as the mayor of SH City, and the other is to teach the disciples of the Youth Gang to be used by us."

"I'm not worried about the basic urban operation, but one thing I can be sure of is that the Chinese government will not give up on Shanghai, especially the secret service organization," Tu Feiyuan emphasized.

Although the Chinese in Zhabei and South are currently driven out by us, as long as we begin to develop the economy and the Chinese return to Shanghai, then the Chinese agents will definitely return, which is something to learn from in Manchuria.

At that time, it will not be easy for our people to find agents in Shanghai, but relying on this vast number of Qinggang disciples, if some of them can become our eyes, then it will be easy to arrest Chinese agents. ”

The convoy arrives at the Chinachem Hotel.

No wonder Zhou Qinghe couldn't find anyone at Zhang Xiaolin's house, it turned out that Tu Feiyuan had made an appointment here, and asked Zhang Xiaolin to come over later, saying that he would pick up someone.

The hotel guarded by the British Marines, and the two sides were quite relieved to meet here.

I met Zhang Xiaolin in the suite above, accompanied by a butler and a translator bodyguard.

"Brother Zhang."

"Here comes brother, General Tu Feiyuan is good." Zhang Xiaolin said hello, followed by a few words of greeting.

Tu Feiyuan said that people brought it, can we start talking?

However, Zhang Xiaolin said domineeringly: "General Tu Feiyuan, I have a few words with Brother Fujita that I want to say in private, I don't know if it can be convenient?" ”

This was beyond everyone's expectations, Zhang Xiaolin actually dared to drive people directly?

Tu Feiyuan didn't speak for a while after listening, and glanced at Zhou Qinghe expressionlessly, which was meaningful.

Zhou Qinghe didn't see it, Zhang Xiaolin's words naturally had a purpose, and he didn't see it if he saw it.

And after listening to the words of the translator, Akio Tojo was the first to reprimand: "Is there anything that can't be listened to by General Dohi Yuan?" ”

No matter how fierce the words were, they lost their taste after being translated, and Zhang Xiaolin replied indifferently: "It's convenient, to be honest, between me and you, the most familiar thing is Brother Fujita, can't I talk to him in private?" That's the attitude you have approaching me to work with? ”

was countered to the army, and the translator over there is still translating for Akio Tojo, and the soil is not pretending not to understand here.

smiled and responded: "Okay, then you talk first, I'll wait for you outside the door." ”

Akio Tojo still went out angrily, Zhang Xiaolin waited for him to go out, and as soon as the door was closed, he snorted disdainfully: "What virtue, what kind of place is this, there is a little person like him to speak?" ”

After speaking, he smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, I have been waiting for you for a long time, come, please sit down, serve tea." ”

"Brother Zhang is so bold." Zhou Qinghe raised his head outside the door and praised him, and then sat down.

Zhang Xiaolin sat down with a golden knife and held his head high: "What are you afraid of?" Is it possible to kill me? It is useless to me if you are not a general, this is the concession, who dares to kill me? Besides, if I cooperate with my brother, even if I offend other Japanese, won't you still protect me, brother? ”

Zhang Xiaolin smiled.

"Thank you." Zhou Qinghe had to recognize this favor, and Zhang Xiaolin made it clear that he was waiting for him to come.

"You're welcome, it's all the way it should be." Zhang Xiaolin's expression was righteous:

"As soon as they come, and you don't come, I know what they are paying attention to, don't they want to leave you alone? Otherwise, do you need some generals for them? Just let you find me? ”

Zhou Qinghe nodded approvingly.

Zhang Xiaolin shook his head and said: "They just don't understand me Zhang Xiaolin, I'm Zhang Xiaolin, then I have to be righteous, your brother Zhou saved my life, how can I bypass you and cooperate with them?"

Besides, what is Akio Tojo, you know a waste at a glance, how can you compare it with your brother Zhou? I'm not stupid. ”

"Hahaha, I love to listen to my brother." Zhou Qinghe has a few more words of praise.

Zhang Xiaolin smiled, and then frowned and sighed: "Brother, to tell you the truth, you have to help my brother in this matter." ”

"That's what you say?" Zhou Qinghe took the teacup and took a sip.

Zhang Xiaolin looked at Zhou Qinghe and said, "I can help, but I can't be the mayor." ”

"Why is that?"

"Because I don't want to rent out the world, and I can't rent out the world."

Zhou Qinghe understood and nodded slightly: "Brother is afraid that this mayor will be on the assassination list of Chinese?" It is true that it is much safer in the concession. ”

"Yes, people are afraid of death when they are old." Zhang Xiaolin smiled and arched his hand: "So my brother will ask you, you must help me with this, help me talk about it, you can help, but I don't dare to do anything about the mayor." ”

"Okay, I understand what I mean."

No wonder Zhang Xiaolin had to wait for him to come, without him mediating it, Zhang Xiaolin was not easy to say, the Japanese would have said that they would just send troops to protect him.

It's not good to let Tu Feiyuan wait outside for a long time, and then open the door to let him in.

The negotiations began immediately, and when Tu Feiyuan heard that Zhang Xiaolin was unwilling to be the mayor, his face immediately did not look good.

How useful is it to just help privately? What I want is for Zhang Xiaolin to be the mayor, raise his arms, and control the entire Qinggang only for the Japanese.

And the greater cause and effect lies in the business community, businessmen from all walks of life doing business in Shanghai are inseparable from the Qinggang, Zhang Xiaolin has turned to the Japanese, and other businessmen want to do business in Shanghai, so they have to rely on them.

This is the power of example.

Just helping in the concession, others thought that Zhang Xiaolin was forced.

"Mr. Zhang, being the mayor will be beneficial to your business, you don't need to be responsible for specific affairs, you only need to take this position, and your safety will be protected by the gendarmerie 24 hours a day."

The soil is here, and it is impossible to give up easily.

"I'm old, and my legs and feet are inconvenient." Zhang Xiaolin casually refused.

"You can go out and take the car, you can break your leg!" Akio Tojo is fiercely tight.

"General Tu Feiyuan, is this person threatening me?"

"Akio, don't speak."

Tu Feiyuan frowned and said: "Mr. Zhang, you can't do things for the Japanese half-heartedly, do you want to make a fortune while leaving a way back for yourself?" I'm afraid that's why I don't dare to show up in public, right? ”

"Not really."

"Fujita, persuade Mr. Zhang, this is a major matter of the military department, don't make a mistake about yourself." Tu Feiyuan had already begun to wonder if Zhou Qinghe was making a hindrance, and his eyes were murderous.

Zhou Qinghe was so wronged, he really didn't say anything, and he didn't allow people to be afraid of death?

"General Tu Feiyuan, I think there is some truth in Brother Zhang's statement, he is indeed not suitable to be the mayor of SH City." At the critical moment, Zhou Qinghe can stand up, and he will do his best.

"What do you mean?" Tu Feiyuan frowned slightly.

Zhou Qinghe said calmly: "You think, the power of the Qing Gang is very strong, if the Chinese know that Brother Zhang has defected to us, I think that with the means of the secret service, it is bound to carry out assassination."

Even if we carefully protect it, there are many people in the concession, how can so many Chinese prevent it? It is inevitable that there will be mistakes in some places, and in the words of the Chinese, that is, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days.

And once Brother Zhang is assassinated, we are facing a situation where the Green Gang is leaderless, and we will lose not only Brother Zhang's own prestige in the business world, but also the power of the Green Gang, which is very likely to be completely lost.

The losses are too great.

So my idea is that we don't put all our eggs in one basket, Brother Zhang is remotely controlling the Green Gang in the concession and helping us do things, and the mayor is someone else. ”

There was some truth in this, and Tu Feiyuan began to think.

And Zhang Xiaolin immediately threw over a faint look of gratitude, it's still Brother Zhou, it's good, I didn't see the wrong person, I can cover it.

Tu Feiyuan thought for a short time, looked at Zhou Qinghe with thoughtful eyes, and then looked at Zhang Xiaolin, his expression was already calm.

"In that case, well, I'll choose someone else for the mayor."

As soon as Zhang Xiaolin's smile appeared, Tu Feiyuan added: "But Mr. Zhang needs to do one thing, that is, to publicly announce in the concession that he will take refuge in our Japan."

You have to do what you want, right? There is no need for the rental industry, presumably in terms of safety, Mr. Zhang can handle it himself. ”

Tu Feiyuan smiled.

It was impossible for him to give Zhang Xiaolin a chance to be half-hearted.
