The gendarmes were busy, holding guns and not knowing what to do, panicking.

The reporter was bold, and he excitedly began to shoot with a camera.

There was an explosion in the city government, and Gu Lugui was killed on the day he took office as chairman of the SH Citizens' Association.

If on the wedding day of Fujita and Kiyoshi, three unjust businessmen were happily shot and killed on the way home after drinking, it was a random punishment of traitors by the anti-Japanese forces.

Today's explosion was obviously premeditated and carefully planned, and the operation was extremely successful, and it was the traitor chairman who died in the Japanese.

Combined with Gu Lugui's own reputation and prestige in Shanghai, the explosion of this thunder was officially announced to all the businessmen in the concession.

The intelligence apparatus of the party-state is back!

It's a bloody warning!

This is the end of daring to be a traitor!

Compared with the rich Chinese who have been renting in the concession, there are now more poor people in the concession, who are homeless in the war and can only live in the concession to work as small workers and send people to the poor under the fence.

They are happy about the return of the party-state and the assassination of traitors.

Who wants to be a Japanese Shunmin?

Not at all!

The merchant class began to make noise, especially those who had attended the wedding banquet of Fujita and Kiyo, for fear of being remembered by the secret service organization of the party-state, and for a time there were more people recruiting bodyguards.

Compared with the reaction of the concession, the mood of the gendarmerie command was anger at best.

Under the protection of the military police, in the city government, it was actually assassinated by the Chinese, which is simply a shame!

And it is a huge shame that is publicized in front of the whole Shanghai and the world!

Zhou Qinghe was called back to the gendarmerie headquarters for a meeting while he was on vacation.

First, the commander of the gendarmerie, Lieutenant General Iwasa Taro, sprayed at the gendarmerie.

"You can actually let the Chinese mix into the venue, how do you do your security work!"

"I don't even know about Gu Lugui's chairmanship, why can the Chinese accurately plant bombs on his car?"

"You can't find anyone beforehand, you can't catch anyone afterwards, reporters from all over the world have filmed this scene, the reputation of the gendarmerie command is discredited, who is responsible for the two of you?"

"Eight Ga Ya Road!"

Iwasa Taro's usual personality is actually quite calm, and he belongs to the deep type, but now he is really anxious, angry, and sprays anger at Zhou Qinghe and Akio Tojo.

At this time, Shinozuka Makomi had to help say: "Fujita-kun just got married, and he is still resting these days, and he may not be very clear about the things he has arranged." ”

Iwasa Taro glared at the two of them, his anger undiminished.

But if you don't speak, if you continue to scold, you will have to scold Akio Tojo, a fool.

Then the people at the consulate spewed their rage.

Hase-Incheon's mood was extremely bad: "The list has been drawn up, and the matter has been reported to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but the chairman died on the same day, what now?" Substitution? For whom?

Before I came, I received a call from a few businessmen asking if we had caught the murderer.

You know what this means, the Chinese are afraid!

If we can't give them confidence, then do you think these businessmen will go against the grain and step on two boats to save their lives?

Will it still be able to achieve the goal we want to contribute wholeheartedly to the Japanese Empire?

It's rubbish! ”

When he said this, Hasei Incheon's eyes swept the attendees, and although the last focus of his eyes was Akio Tojo, he actually scolded all the people in the gendarmerie headquarters.

After the gendarmerie was scolded, the agenda of the next meeting was the selection of the new chairman and the protection of the gendarmerie for the next press conference.

Discussion and discussion, after thinking about it, forget it, this press conference is not opened, the face is lost to this point, and it is really meaningless if it is not opened, just agree on the candidate, and directly serve as the chairman.

"The gendarmerie must strictly control access to important places, such as the city government to provide protection 24 hours a day, although it is the Chinese in office, but it is also the imperial face of our great Japan, and we will never allow another vicious incident like today!"

"Hey!"

The incident ended with Zhou Qinghe and Akio Tojo being reprimanded, and the two Japanese military policemen who were guarding the gate of the city hall and were in charge of security screening were rewarded with military batons.

The next day, newspapers and media all over the concession reported on the incident, and some patriotic media also wrote about Gu Lugui's evil deeds and the iron-blooded behavior of Chinese agents.

When the news came back to Chongqing, the principal did not hesitate to praise this matter, and specially called Boss Dai to praise Zhou Qinghe.

"The whole country, for this extermination of traitors, all cheered, Zhou Qinghe can have such a feat, is to live up to my expectations for him, the rain is thick, to praise, for traitors, to kill more, to kill them are cold."

Then Boss Dai sent a congratulatory message to Zhou Qinghe.

"Good job, keep up the good work."

The new chairman of the Citizens' Association is a Chinese director of the French Concession Board of Directors.

Veteran entrepreneurs, who can do the French Concession Hua Dong, can be described as having strong capital and many contacts in Shanghai.

When he went out the next day, he was shot by three people and shot dead in the street.

When the news broke, the uproar among the people was even worse, and the French Concession was very safe, and there had been no accident for a long time.

But what about the French Concession, Chinese agents told them?

Kill it right.

The anger of the Japanese consulate is simply irrepressible, choose one to die, choose one to die, and the face of the great Japanese empire will be lost.

So the gendarmerie received a new job, and a new chairman was elected to provide strict protection from the gendarmerie.

It doesn't matter, the list is so long, and Zhou Qinghe is not that no one else can kill him.

"Tell Jiang Wen that there is no fixed goal, the characters on the list will be killed if they have the opportunity, and any means can be used."

More intense assassination began, and at first the merchant community thought that the Chinese agents were the first to kill the birds, and that as long as they were not the chairman, they would be fine.

But then the assassination happened to tell them that there is no price to pay for defecting to the Japanese, this is a dream.

Jiang Wen divided the limited forty people into ten groups, and the target of the daily tracking was ten people, and she would assassinate them whenever she had the opportunity.

Shoot, slash, blast, poison

Time passed, and every day the newspapers in the concession were news of the death of a traitorous businessman.

Among the businessmen, this is simply the most terrifying thing of the year, and they are terrified all day long.

And among the citizens of SH, this is every day to lift their spirits, lift their spirits, and just want to exclaim, 'Well done.'

The merchant group contacted the consulate every day for protection, because they found that the temporary bodyguards could not cope with the elite agents.

The gendarmerie command had no choice but to send more gendarmerie bodyguards to protect the safety of these Chinese businessmen.

On the one hand, Chinese agents are running around, and every time the military police command is dispatched after the Chinese agents' operation, even with the cooperation of the Concession Patrol House, it cannot catch these people who are fully prepared.

On the other hand, if the protection requirements of these merchants are not met, these merchants are afraid, which will be a devastating blow to Shanghai's economy and directly affect their tax revenue.

Bodyguards were dispatched.

But the assassination continued.

The action of the gendarmerie command sending bodyguards can only be said to have played some roles, such as the temporary immortality of the people who protected them, but for the whole situation of being assassinated, nothing has changed.

Because there are so many problems facing the gendarmerie command.

After these days of fighting with the assassination forces in the concession controlled by Zhou Qinghe, the people in the gendarmerie headquarters and consulate clearly understood the complexity of the situation.

At this moment, in the conference room of the military police headquarters, the commander of the military police, Iwasa Taro, had lost the anger he had when Gu Lugui was assassinated.

Even the newspaper on the table has a few photos of traitors on the street.

All he had left was a calm face, calm and somewhat numb.

The heart was really destroyed.

Coincidentally, Hase-Incheon is also like this.

At that time, the inaction of the gendarmerie command was vigorously criticized, and the waste of the gendarmes in these operations was now dealt with by the Chinese agents compared to the heroic performance of the imperial soldiers in the Shanghai incident.

But in these days, simply let him command the gendarmes and protect as he wants, and this damn is still true.

He was also numb, tired, tired.

The question now is not to criticize, not to dump the pot, but simply to be, how can you not die.

The expressions of everyone in the conference room were similar, calm and indifferent, and numb, and the main figure of the gendarmerie who was responsible for providing personnel protection, Akio Tojo, had a straight expression.

I am scolded every day, I am used to it, and I don't have to worry about having more debts.

He was a little gloating now, and how hard the people who were there scolded him at the time, and now it was funny to see the expressions of these people.

Are you doing it?

And Zhou Qinghe, who canceled the fake and joined the gendarmerie to arrange protection matters, has inevitably been scolded from the beginning of the assassination to today, and he is also insensitive at the moment, like a mourning expression.

Frustration, it's too difficult to find the Chinese agent.

Now no one scolds, and I can have a good meeting.

Shinozuka Makomi glanced at everyone and said calmly:

"Based on all the assassinations in the past month and a half, our staff has made a summary of the situation, and summarized the following main reasons for the lack of efforts to find Chinese agents."

"First, the cunning of the Chinese agents.

There are quite a few businessmen who have taken refuge in us, and our gendarmerie protection is limited, and basically can only provide careful protection against large businessmen, and the power of small businessmen is relatively weak, or even none.

But China's assassination organizations treat these people equally, killing some of them, killing businessmen if they can't kill them, killing their assistants, blowing up warehouses if they can't kill assistants, and even their dogs.

The purpose is to create a bloody case, kill it as a warning, so that the Chinese dare not help us.

They have so many choices that we can't take care of them all, and we can't control death in addition to our own people who are exhausted from going back and forth. ”

"Second, the population of the concession.

After the Second Shanghai Incident, the number of Chinese living in the concession increased significantly, which caused great difficulty in our pursuit work.

At this time, the attitude of the British and American concessions, and even the French concessions, towards us has also changed markedly from before the war, and the degree of cooperation with our proposal to hunt down the agents is not high, and there may still be a situation of favoring Chinese agents.

The killing of the Chinese director of the French Concession Public Board is an example, even if the Chinese they approved were killed, the French only cooperated for two days, and then stopped helping us to find it, and directly refused the request of our military police to enter the search for themselves.

The change in attitude was not conducive to our pursuit work, and we were not able to find the hidden Chinese agents in the concession as expected.

The rhetoric of some people in China has become a reality, and after the seizure of the concession and the epidemic in the Shanghai incident, to some extent, countries have isolated us. ”

"Third, the change of identity.

Compared with before the war, Shanghai was the territory of the Chinese at that time, and the Chinese agents had a fixed residence, whether it was the secret service or the intelligence department of the government department, we could find some clues if we wanted to.

And now these people are hiding in the shadows, and we want to find out, and there are no clues to catch at all.

It's a simple assassination, they run away after the action, and we can't chase it at all. ”

"Fourth, the problem of communication.

Although we occupied Shanghai, it was China after all, and the vast majority of our military police could not speak Shanghainese, not even a word of Chinese in any place.

This is almost impossible to hide their identities and secretly find the traces of agents, just go to investigate, once our people can't say a few words, they will be discovered by Chinese agents, and they have enough time to escape. ”

"The results of these hours are also telling, the failure of the intelligence department of the Gendarmerie Command, the failure of the intelligence department of the Marine Corps, the failure of the intelligence department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The failures of these days have forced us to admit that our military forces and espionage forces have played no role in the incident against Chinese agents. ”

Therefore, in view of the next situation in Shanghai, the opinion of the General Staff is to give up the pursuit of concession agents and make every effort to build an espionage agency composed of Chinese.

Collect and arrest Chinese agents from all over the country, let them serve us after the mutiny, let Chinese agents fight Chinese agents, and form the application of using China to contain China in the field of spy warfare. ”

Admitting the defeat of one's own countrymen and using only Chinese is a bold statement, although it makes those present feel uncomfortable.

Because the intelligence field allows Chinese to come in, which in itself is a gamble, let Chinese access to classified intelligence, there must be more to know, this is a double-edged sword.

But the idea of the General Staff is almost the only option available at the moment.

The proposal was adopted quickly.

Then make some suggestions for the future pattern, although Chinese are used, there is no doubt that the managers must be Japanese.

As for the requirements of managers, this time it is not only the matching of official positions, but also the grades, and the results speak.

Akio Tojo was overjoyed, because this was his forte, and he had people in Manchuria who could come up with ideas.

"I can contact General Tu Feiyuan and send capable men to preside over the affairs of Shanghai."

Akio Tojo's reaction was in line with everyone's expectations, and a set of anti-espionage systems on the Manchurian side was mature, and this was the purpose of putting forward this idea of using China to contain China.

"Okay, let General Tu Feiyuan send a general over." Iwasa Taro nodded in agreement.

"But quickly, we don't have much time, and we're dying every day."

It takes time to get familiar with the situation and recruit people, and if it drags on, the businessmen who have taken refuge in them are about to be killed.

"Hey, I'll send you a report right away."

Zhou Qinghe can't grab this position, and he really can't be this capable person.

Let's see, life still has to pass.

At the end of the meeting, Zhou Qinghe sent a telegram to Boss Dai, describing the choice of the Japanese and the possible changes in the pattern of Shanghai in the future.

The Japanese know that they are stupid, looking for Chinese, this means of using China to control China is really good, the main thing is that the thinking is similar, everyone's training is similar, these thousands of years of conspiracies, secret calculations, you will and I will too.

In terms of difficulty, it is certainly more difficult to deal with Chinese agents than against the Japanese.

It's a tough time.

Boss Dai said it didn't matter, and the telegram replied.

"You have done a good job these days, the principal is extremely satisfied with the hoeing and rape in Shanghai, one by one the heads are sacrificed, and one by one the traitors are killed in Huangquan, this is the proof that the Japanese are not good, and now the anti-Japanese sentiment is rising all over the country, and you are fiercely raising the prestige of my secret service!

As for what you said about the Japanese looking for Chinese to preside over spy work, there is no need to be afraid of this matter, dare to come, then continue to kill, no one dares to do things for the Japanese! ”

Boss Dai is still full of confidence, it is nothing more than killing people, and when he is a traitor, he will kill to the end.

"If you need support, just say it."

Boss Dai knows that Zhou Qinghe doesn't have many people in his hands now, but now Shanghai can come and go at will, and people can be dispatched at any time if they want, and there are many action team members, so it is not a big problem.

"By the way, there is one more thing to inform you, the secret service has been officially withdrawn and promoted to the bureau, and it has been renamed the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission."

The military command is established!

The Japanese are looking for reinforcements, this person has not yet come, and it will take some days to get familiar with Shanghai, Zhou Qinghe is not in a hurry.

The assassination thing continues.

At present, in the concession, the two people who have lived the most nourishing life are him and Zhang Xiaolin.

Zhang Xiaolin's eyes were vicious, and he knew at a glance that this must be Boss Dai's person in action, I am afraid that he must be a little afraid, but he is not too afraid.

If he was really afraid, he wouldn't dare to be a traitor.

As long as you are prepared for problems, in the concession, there is not much of a problem.

Going out with 20 bodyguards, the vehicle was a bulletproof vehicle specially ordered from a foreign country, one for him, and one for Zhou Qinghe.

This is not enough, as long as you go out, wearing special body armor, a handful of old people, just wear a 30-kilogram iron plate to go out, do a good job of full-body bulletproof work.

When he and Zhou Qinghe showed off, Zhou Qinghe admired it, if he wasn't ready to kill him now, he really wanted to attack him, it would be really difficult to kill in the concession.

On the contrary, the businessmen were killed one by one, and Zhang Xiaolin found a chance to make a fortune.

One person falls, one person stands up, Zhang Xiaolin's biggest thing every day now is to read the newspaper to see who is dead today.

When someone dies, he rejoices, and when that person dies, the business is empty.

No one is dead, and I still have to scold two sentences, Boss Dai is not strong enough.

At present, the golden velvet suit has a stroke and is closed, Du Yuesheng has left Shanghai, and the entire Shanghai Youth Gang is in his hands.

Gathering the power in his hands, coupled with Zhou Qinghe's brand, he can grab it, grab it after the opening, and make money.

This month's dividends to Zhou Qinghe have been increased to $700,000.

Zhou Qinghe had Zhang Xiaolin's dividends, the equipment factory's international order dividends, the Chinachem Hotel's dividends, and the income from receiving gifts as a military policeman, and his savings swelled from $1 million to nearly $7 million in just a few months.

The investigation of Zhang Fayao's whereabouts has not stopped, but Zhang Xiaolin is too careful, and now the concession is constantly assassinated, so that Zhang Xiaolin's bodyguards have been very close to Zhang Fayao, and Liu Kai's people have never had a chance to start.

Fortunately, the principal's side was persuaded by the rest of the achievements, and he didn't urge it, so Zhou Qinghe also concentrated his strength on dealing with other traitors first.

Two days later, Fujita Mansion, Zhou Qinghe received a call.

"Captain, the staff wants you to come to the headquarters for a meeting."

"Got it, what's going on?"

"The people from Manchuria invited by Tojo Shozo have arrived, and today a Chinese from the military police headquarters came to the mouth, claiming to have been a Chinese agent, and specially came to join us."
