Chapter 598: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
"Three contact points were attacked at the same time, and the losses were heavy."
Kojiro Kawamoto reported: "Yuyuan Road, Nogawa Trading Company, and Yoshimasa Trading Company were attacked at the same time, and none of the sixteen people survived. And everywhere, the same three words appeared, 'Liao Yuting'! ”
"Liao Yuting!" Matsumoto Renji, the head of the acting Japanese Shanghai secret service, looked a little ugly: "This person was a very important person before us, but now there is a problem with him." ”
"It's a war." Kojiro Kawamoto quickly said: "Liao Yuting assassinated and kidnapped a large number of military commanders, and I think it was precisely because of this willingness that he finally completely angered the military commander and launched an all-round revenge action. ”
"Habara Shaosa, what do you think?" Matsumoto Renji's eyes fell on Habara Koichi: "This assassination plan against Meng Shaoyuan was proposed by you, and the reward of five million yen has indeed stimulated many people, but so far, Meng Shaoyuan is still alive and well, but we have suffered too many sacrifices." ”
Koichi Habara still looked very calm: "However, this plan did work very well, Meng Shaoyuan was harassed a lot, and he had to devote a large part of his energy to deal with this kind of assassination. Many of his people have died, so his revenge now proves that he is in a hurry. We've had a lot of deaths, and we've also had a lot of deaths, so what we're going to do at the moment is to see who has the more tenacious endurance. ”
On the side, Miao Chengfang had been listening quietly.
Koichi Habara.
He even admired this man a little.
It was he who suggested the establishment of an institution dedicated to the study of Meng Shaoyuan.
It was also at his strong suggestion that a reward of 5 million yen was established.
That's right, Meng Shaoyuan was in trouble.
Especially that Liao Yuting, it's really annoying.
He was like a fly, "buzzing" around Meng Shaoyuan all day long.
Meng Shaoyuan's revenge was very violent and strong, and it was just a simple killing, not what a senior intelligence officer should do.
The three giants of military command in Shanghai:
Zhou Weilong, Cheng Yiming, Meng Shaoyuan.
Japan specially selected Meng Shaoyuan to start, and this is a posture of breaking one by one.
"Report." A Japanese agent hurriedly walked in: "Zhengjin Bank has been robbed." ”
"What?"
Matsumoto Hitoshi was stunned: "Loss? ”
"1.5 million yen, all robbed."
Matsumoto Hitotsugu's complexion became extremely difficult to look at.
That's what he cares about the most.
Although Shanghai was under Japanese control, the public concession was still independent. And in order to survive and expand in this place, financial aspects are essential.
This 1.5 million yen is really too important for the Japanese special organs.
The salaries to be paid to those agents, and the next funding for various departments, are all in this 1.5 million miles.
It can even be said that no matter how many people die, Matsumoto Renji can bear it, but losing such a large amount of money to the old man will likely bring the operation of the Japanese special agency to a standstill, which has broken through his bottom line.
"There were more than a dozen robbers, all wearing masks, which were partially the same as those used in the first robbery of the Zhengjin Bank. And, according to the bank clerk at the scene, the robbers were all women. ”
"All women?"
All of them thought it was incredible.
When did so many female robbers pop up on the beach?
"Those robbers also left a sentence at the scene, 'Hand over Liao Yuting, otherwise there will be another time!' ”
"Liao Yuting, it's Liao Yuting again!" Matsumoto Renji's face distorted: "Baga, not only killing, but also robbing money, is Meng Shaoyuan crazy?" ”
Miao Chengfang smiled.
Matsumoto Hitoshi was in a hurry, and this time he was really in a hurry.
He was originally worried that Meng Shaoyuan was too radical and desperate, but now it seems that his worries are completely superfluous, and Meng Shaoyuan accurately hit the seven inches of the Japanese:
Money!
In Shanghai, you're not a fart without money!
"If this robbery was done by Meng Shaoyuan, then that means that he also did the last robbery of Zhengjin Bank?" Kojiro Kawamoto frowned.
"Not really." Matsumoto Renji frowned: "I have carefully checked the information, the first Zhengjin Bank robbery, Meng Shaoyuan was still in Nanjing, and the forces did not enter Shanghai at all, and the first Zhengjin Bank robbery was related to a woman." ”
"It's not about finding out who did the robbery." Habara Hikatsuichi opened his mouth and said, "Even if the two robberies were done by Meng Shaoyuan, then what can we do?" He can deny it outright. The great thing about this robbery is that we obviously know that it is related to Meng Shaoyuan, but we don't have any evidence to prove him, and the Ministry of Industry and Bureau will not care about it. He actually used a group of women to rob it? Interesting, really too much fun. ”
"Habara Shaoza, do you actually find it interesting?" Matsumoto Renji visibly became displeased: "The agents of the Empire are being slaughtered, our funds are being robbed, do you think these things are interesting?" ”
Koichi Habara does not have an interface.
But he really thought it was very interesting.
How many resources does Meng Shaoyuan have at his disposal? This is where the research office needs to focus on the next step. He even used women?
Well, it's worth learning for yourself.
Every inch of resources around us is useful.
Meng Shaoyuan taught himself a good lesson.
"Mr. Miao." Matsumoto Renji turned to Miao Chengfang: "Now that the situation is very urgent, what do you think is the most appropriate way for us to deal with it?" ”
"It's simple." Miao Chengfang said lightly: "First, launch the toughest counterattack and never back down, but this will allow the two sides to enter a full-scale firefight, and in the end, whoever can't withstand the casualties will be the loser." ”
Matsumoto Hitotsugu shook his head slowly.
Although he is known as the "Three Tigers of the Empire" and acts as the head of the Shanghai government, he is very clear about the meaning of the word "acting".
Soon there will be powerful people to replace you, and as an over-the-top person, the most important thing is to maintain stability and not make major mistakes during your own agency.
It can be reactive, but it can't be overpowered.
This is also the trick of officialdom.
Whether it is a spy or not, in fact, they are all mixed in a workplace, and to mix well in this workplace is not much different from what is done in a company.
He was to hand over an entire Shanghai secret service to his successor.
"Well, that's the second option." Miao Chengfang said slowly: "Don't cancel the five million bounty order, otherwise, it will damage the majesty of the empire." Continuing to hang there, when the killers get through the initial passion and find that the task is not so easy to complete, the enthusiasm will slowly fade and the majesty of the empire will be preserved.
Now the biggest trouble comes from Liao Yuting, we don't know why he is so fanatical so far, and we can't even control him directly, I want to ask, how many of you here have seen Liao Yuting? I suggest that if we give up Liao Yuting, we can even implicitly inform Meng Shaoyuan of this decision, Meng Shaoyuan is a smart person, he knows what to do. ”
"No, absolutely not!" Habara Koichi did not hesitate to object: "Mr. Miao, Your Excellency, so far, Liao Yuting is the most advantageous chess piece we use to deal with Meng Shaoyuan. His existence can distract Meng Shaoyuan and make Meng Shaoyuan tired. Giving up on him is tantamount to helping Meng Shaoyuan. ”
"So, where are we now?" Miao Chengfang asked rhetorically.
"Difficulty, it's temporary." Habara Koichi said coldly: "It's like two fighters fighting there to see who can hold on to the end." Meng Shaoyuan can give us a blow, and we can also give him a heavy blow. In fact, the difficulties he faces are much greater than ours, after all, Shanghai is still ours! ”
Miao Chengfang smiled: "Yuhara Shaozuo, I'm curious, why do you support Liao Yuting so much?" Did you make any deal with him? ”
Hikaru Habara glanced at him: "Yes, there is an agreement." ”
Everyone was stunned.
Hakuhara Koichi said unhurriedly, "But it's not an agreement I made with him, but an agreement with Your Excellency Tsuchihara. ”
"What? Your Excellency Soil Hihara? ”
This time, even Matsumoto Renji was a little surprised.
"Yes, at this time, I think if I don't explain the situation again, I'm afraid it will have an even more adverse impact on Liao Yuting's situation." Koichi Habara took a deep breath:
"Do you really think that Liao Yuting will hunt down Meng Shaoyuan at all costs for the sake of those five million yen? You can imagine how much manpower and material resources he used in the entire process of chasing and killing Meng Shaoyuan, a renegade former military commander agent, to this day, is there still so much energy?
Ladies and gentlemen, he was sent by His Excellency Tu Feiyuan, and His Excellency commanded the 14th Division to fight on the battlefield of China, but he was still very concerned about intelligence work, and I reported to Your Excellency the situation of Meng Shaoyuan in Shanghai, and Your Excellency believed that the best way to deal with Meng Shaoyuan was to use the people of China to deal with the people of China. And Liao Yuting is a sharp knife in your hand. ”
Matsumoto Rentsugu was a little dissatisfied.
This damn Shaozo actually skipped himself and reported the situation in Shanghai directly to General Tu Feiyuan. Of course, he knew that Koichi Habara was a subordinate of Kenji Dohihara in the past, but this kind of overstepping behavior was still something he couldn't tolerate.
It's just that Matsumoto Renji ignored one point, in the Japanese army, there are too many things that have happened to overstep.
"And I, on the other hand, was ordered to give Liao Yuting full assistance." Yuhara Koichi didn't care about other people's reactions at all: "Please believe that although Liao Yuting missed twice, it has caused great trouble to Meng Shaoyuan. He will certainly succeed, and the difficulties we face will be temporary, and victory will surely belong to the Great Japanese Empire. ”
"I was really touched by Hahara's determination." Matsumoto Hitoshi had something to say: "Who can disobey the orders of His Excellency Tsuchihara? ”
