On the night of June 11, 1938, the Botian detachment attacked Anqing, which marked the official outbreak of the Battle of Wuhan!

"The Battle of Wuhan will be a difficult battle to defend!" Meng Shaoyuan told his subordinates: "I am sure that this battle will end with the Japanese occupation of Wuhan, but it is also the Battle of Wuhan that will turn Japan's military, economy, and even its entire national strength from its peak to a period of decline, from strategic offensive to strategic defense!" ”

His men were taken aback.

The outpost of the Battle of Wuhan has just started, and Director Meng has already predicted so much?

"There's a war on the front line, and it's time for us to do something." Meng Shaoyuan's words changed: "Recently, the Japanese have sent a large number of spies and traitors to the public concession to enhance the power here. The Public Concession is a good place, and everyone wants to come and get involved, so I think we need to give a welcome ceremony to these new organizations. ”

In a word, lift the spirits of all those who participated in the meeting.

This means that Director Meng, who has just returned to Shanghai from northern Jiangsu, is ready to launch a large-scale operation in Shanghai.

Wu Jingyi's heart was bright, Meng Shaoyuan was not just thinking about assassinating the Japanese traitors, but wanted to create a chaotic atmosphere in Shanghai and divert the attention of the Japanese when escorting the Soviet pilots.

In other words, Meng Shaoyuan, the "public enemy of Japan", will once again use himself as bait!

"The one who led the new reinforcement spies into Shanghai was led by Miyado Hiroshi Dazuo......"

As soon as she said this, Ye Rong couldn't help but ask: "Why are there so many Dazuo?" Are the Japanese reluctant to send even a general? ”

"There's a saying in this, this Dazuo is about the same as a colonel." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "It is not easy for an ordinary person to be promoted to Dazuo, and it is almost impossible to aspire to the top to promote the rank, which requires the corresponding academic qualifications and background." If you have attended the Army University, as long as you have accumulated enough military merits, it is still easy to be promoted to a general, as for ordinary soldiers or just attended the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, then Dazuo is your limit.

Besides, Osa is very popular among the Japanese. Taking the army as an example, becoming a big sa is equivalent to having three or four thousand people to protect one's own safety, all kinds of high-level weapons and equipment will be under one's command, the supreme commander of a wing, his military salary, food, and various living conditions will be improved, and when inspecting the troops, he will be especially respected by the soldiers. ”

Therefore, there is a saying in the Japanese army that "I would rather be a big boy than a general", although a large part of the reason is the angry words of those who have no hope of promotion, but there is also some truth.

Meng Shaoyuan briefly introduced: "It's wrong, continue to report." ”

"Yes." Wu Jingyi continued: "Gong Dao Hongshi, who has worked in North China for a long time in the past, was nominated by Itachi Yasuei and sent reinforcements from North China to Shanghai. The spies he brought were accustomed to smooth sailing in North China, Miyado Hiroshi had a nickname, called 'Elite Miyado', and he himself was very proud of this nickname, and Shanghai, firstly, because this was a spy personally nominated by Itachi Yasuei, and secondly, because of the previous killing of Yoshikawa Gomon, which made them feel that they couldn't stand the North China side, so they acquiesced to the entry of the North China faction......"

"Not wise, very unwise." Meng Shaoyuan smiled faintly: "There are enough forces in Shanghai, what is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Army and Navy, and now there is another North China faction?" Who's in command? The army's Matsumoto Rentsugu is also a big sa, everyone is at the same level, I'm afraid the only one who can command them is only Yasuei Itauchi, the problem is that Yasuei Itachi himself is not justified? ”

Itachi Yasuei came to Shanghai, and his public mission was to investigate the cause of Yoshikawa Gomon's death, and he did not have the right to lead the Shanghai secret service.

It was only because he was a general, coupled with his status as a "special envoy", that he suppressed the various Japanese forces in Shanghai.

In addition, the entry of the North China faction is a preliminary deployment for Kenji Tuhihara to take over Shanghai, the problem is that he Meng Shaoyuan knows it well, and those spies in Shanghai don't know.

Although acquiesced for various reasons, however, there is no such thing as assistance and resource sharing, and it is good not to give you a stumbling block overtly and covertly.

"At present, Gong Dao Hongshi has rented a house in Yuyuan Lane for office and accommodation, which is some distance from the home of the traitor Chen Zheng and the fishing house of Jing'an Temple."

Wu Jingyi's words confirmed Meng Shaoyuan's judgment, and it stands to reason that the Japanese Army there has a special service there, and its office space can be fully provided for its use.

"After Hiroshi Miyado entered, he quickly started working." Wu Jingyi immediately said: "He let out his words, within one month, to solve the threat brought by Meng Shaoyuan, and within three months, to completely eliminate the threat of military commanders in Shanghai." ”

"Another three months. Haven't you had enough of the lessons of three months of destroying China? ”

Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "Kill me Meng Shaoyuan within a month, but there is such a possibility, and I, Meng Shaoyuan, am not invulnerable?" Solve the military command in three months? What a fucking idiot. 'Elite Palace Road'? This is arrogant in North China, this is Shanghai, it is a public concession, and he Japanese can't cover the sky with one hand! ”

Hiroshi Miyado is going to be unlucky, everyone knows it.

He, Director Meng, has always been wrong-mouthed, and he said that it was possible to kill him, the problem is, Gong Dao Hongshi is tantamount to challenging Meng Shaoyuan in person, with Director Meng's character, can he bear it?

Meng Shaoyuan calculated in his heart that there was still a month before the establishment of the Tufeiyuan Organ, and Yasui Itachi and Miyado Hiroshi were his advance officers.

The establishment of the Tuhihara organ enabled Japan's intelligence agencies in Shanghai, which had previously been scattered in the past, to merge in the shortest possible time, truly forming an extremely strong combat effectiveness, posing a huge threat to military command.

I can't let things go that smoothly.

One is the "elite palace road", and the other is the "strongest agent on the surface", so they must "join forces" to put on a good show for Shanghai's intelligence community, right?

"Send a few more squads out to fully grasp the information of Miyado Hongshi." Meng Shaoyuan had already begun to sharpen his knives: "If you have the opportunity, you are allowed to do it alone while ensuring your own safety." The Public Concession is very small compared to the whole of China, but it is perhaps the most complicated place, and Miyado Hiroshi has not been able to grasp the situation in a short period of time.

Especially without the help of the local secret services, he was even more blind. The Japanese secret service has been helpless with me so far, and as soon as Miyado Hiroshi came, he said that he would kill me within a month, doesn't that mean that his ability to send North China is much stronger than the local forces in Shanghai? Can those spies who have been in Shanghai for so long be happy to hear such words? ”

"Yes, I'll send someone to handle it immediately." Wu Jingyi quickly said.

Yuan Zhonghe frowned unknowingly.

Director Meng didn't say who this task would be assigned to, why did she, Wu Jingyi, think that she could be in charge?

Yuan Zhonghe was the first group of people to follow Meng Shaoyuan, and he was also Meng Shaoyuan's sworn brother.

This group of them is called the "propylene line".

In Meng Shaoyuan's group, they are the oldest and the strongest.

Yue Zhenchuan and Wei Yunzhe are all feudal officials and local dignitaries.

Zhu Yanni in the Bingzi department is still Meng Shaoyuan's woman.

They have people inside and out.

But the problem is that in Shanghai, Wu Jingyi's "internal department" occupies an absolute advantage.

She is responsible for the deployment of all important operations.

Zhao Changle and Guo Rui's "youth department" have a good relationship with the old people of the C department.

The "Hangzhou Department" of Song Deng, Gan Ning and others is close to Wu Jingyi.

Now it seems that the "Chongqing Department" of Shen Li, Ye Rong and others also listens to Wu Jingyi's words.

The power of the internal service department is too great.

These thoughts in Yuan Zhonghe's heart, Meng Shaoyuan didn't know.

There are many factions in Meng Shaoyuan's group, which is very similar to the military command.

What is more similar is that as long as Dai Li is still in the military for a day, he can suppress these factions, and no one dares to come forward and make trouble openly, at least he can maintain the appearance of peace.

But if Dai Li is gone, all the factions will take the initiative to stand in line, fight for power and profit, and fight.

This is also a very important reason why after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the performance of the military commanders was far less brilliant and outstanding than during the Anti-Japanese period.

If Meng Shaoyuan is no longer there one day, these C-sub factions, internal logistics departments, youth departments, Hangzhou factions, Chongqing factions, and all kinds of factions that will appear one after another in the future will have to be earth-shattering.

Factions.

There are Japanese, and there are more among the Chinese.

Meng Shaoyuan had no way to solve it, he could only rely on himself to suppress them, just like Dai Li suppressed the various factions of the military command.

You can't just suppress it, you have to give them a little sweetness.

For example, preparing to transfer Yuan Zhonghe to northern Jiangsu is one of the plans.

The people of the C sub-department are all old qualifications, and they have followed Meng Shaoyuan since Nanjing, and most of them are still sworn brothers, and there is no problem in loyalty for the time being.

It is reassuring to let them lead troops outside.

Yuan Zhonghe became a local real power faction, and he would only be more grateful to Meng Shaoyuan in his heart. And what about Wu Jingyi? is also missing the restraint of an old man with seniority far above her.

Meng Shaoyuan also felt that it was really not easy to fuck to the extreme, not only to deal with the Japanese traitors, but also to appease these people around him.

In fact, how can I feel better?

There is not only one Meng Shaoyuan in the Shanghai Navy, but there are "three giants", and the qualifications of Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming, and the backers behind them are far stronger than themselves.

Since the Battle of Songhu, he has been in the limelight too strong, and he has repeatedly made military exploits, so that he only knows that there is Meng Shaoyuan in Shanghai, and he does not know that there are three giants.

Can Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming be happy?

In the past, the head of the district and the secretary were opponents, but if they really threatened their rights, the opponents could join forces.

I'm going to be attacked on my back.

Meng Shaoyuan really couldn't think of a good way to solve it for a while!

(I forgot to mention in yesterday's chapter that the prototype of the "Huaxia Four" is a member of the "Konoe Fumiro Breakfast Club", a close confidant of Japanese Prime Minister Fumiro Konoe, Hidemi Ozaki, a senior Japanese spy in China, Akiki Kano, and the legendary spy Richard Sorge, among others.) Originally, I wanted to do something about Sorge, but later for some reason, I dispelled this idea. ）
