Chapter 671: A Difficult Choice
"Ready to go!"
"Yes!"
"Wait."
Xu Zhugang wanted to give an order, but when he heard this, he immediately stopped.
"Wait, wait."
Meng Shaoyuan kept muttering.
His face gradually became ugly.
Xu Zhu didn't say a word.
"No, no. Right, right? But what if it's not right? ”
Meng Shaoyuan was talking to himself there.
Xu Zhu had no idea what he was talking about there.
After a while, Meng Shaoyuan said with great difficulty:
"Order, cease operations, everyone, evacuate immediately."
"Yes, deliver the order immediately!"
Xu Zhu answered calmly......
……
"Mr. Tian."
Kojiro Kawamoto stood up, and he looked at Tian Qi coldly.
Is it over?
However, Tian Qi suddenly saw that Kojiro Kawamoto bowed deeply to himself:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tian, it's me who blames you!"
What's wrong?
Tian Qi had no idea what was going on.
But he didn't say a word.
"Camouflaged a convoy and arrived safely from the railway station to the consulate without any attacks!"
Tian Qi smiled casually.
But his heart finally let go.
It must have been Meng Shaoyuan who discovered the problem......
……
This is not right.
At the moment when Meng Shaoyuan gave the order, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
Before, there were always some bits and pieces that didn't go right in my mind.
But he didn't pay much attention to it.
But as the action was about to begin, the feeling grew stronger.
Why?
……
"Xiao Xu, help me bring some food back, I have too much to do."
"No, I still have something to do after eating, you can call someone else."
"Done. I'm so busy, who has time to help me bring something to eat? ”
……
Before leaving the office, the conversation of the staff appeared in Meng Shaoyuan's mind at this time.
Everyone is busy.
The Japanese are also busy.
Yoshikawa Gomon was killed, Xi Zhifu ran away, and a Japanese naval officer was killed.
Neither the Japanese Army nor naval intelligence can really shirk their responsibilities.
That envoy is about to arrive in Shanghai.
In such a situation, why lend a helping hand to the consular secret service?
To be honest, Hou Qunfeng is indeed a relatively important figure, but not to the extent of that special attention.
According to the contradictions between Japan's army, navy, and foreign ministry, it is quite good not to dismantle each other.
In the case that it is difficult to protect itself and is busy, help the opponent?
This is not in line with their character.
Taking a step back, I really reached out to the consulate, and it was Kojiro Kawamoto who was in charge.
Kojiro Kawamoto has always been suspicious of Tanachi.
It was Koichi Hahara who sent the news to Tian Qi.
Why is that?
Is there a possibility that this is a trap?
Meng Shaoyuan did not have any evidence to support his idea.
Even, did he think he was thinking too much?
But what if your guess is true?
Even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, once it comes true, it will seriously threaten Tian Qi's safety.
All of Tian Qi's previous efforts would come to naught.
If you give up this operation, you will lose one of the best opportunities to catch Hou Qunfeng.
However, Meng Shaoyuan would rather give up this opportunity.
Tian Qi's safety must be absolutely ensured.
Don't risk the slightest!
Xu Zhu has already conveyed the signal to stop the operation and evacuate all......
……
"Now I can tell you, Mr. Tian."
Kojiro Kawamoto was in high spirits: "Cheng Qunfeng arrived in Nanjing the day before yesterday, we took an absolute blockade of the news, today, the secret set off from Nanjing, and now it has safely arrived at the Consulate of the Imperial Japanese Empire in Shanghai!" ”
"Congratulations, Mr. Kawamoto."
Tian Qi burped: "Don't tell me your next move, I have no interest in Cheng Qunfeng at all, and I don't want to be suspected anymore." ”
Kojiro Kawamoto was embarrassed again: "I still hope to get your forgiveness, Mr. Tian." ”
A smile appeared on Hawara Koichi's face: "Don't care, Mr. Tian, only those who have passed the most complicated tests are true friends worthy of our trust." ”
After speaking, he raised the wine cup: "Actually, I have another object of suspicion in my heart......"
……
"Agents involved in this operation." As soon as he returned to the office, Meng Shaoyuan immediately called Wu Jingyi in: "Except for Gan Ning and Xu Zhu, the remaining fifteen people, all of them will be promoted to the next level, and they will be sent to Chongqing immediately to participate...... To participate in the training course for senior spies, I personally contacted Mr. Dai for details. ”
Very impersonal.
But he had to.
Once any of these fifteen agents are arrested and mutined in the future, and the failed operation is explained, then Tian Qi will become the object of suspicion again.
With fifteen agents to protect Tian Qi alone, Meng Shaoyuan had to pay such a price!
……
"Of course, there are lone heroes in this world, but a successful sleeper spy is never a lone hero. Behind him, there is one, several teams at his service. There are dozens, hundreds, even thousands of people ready to die for them. When he delivers information of great strategic value, then the sacrifice is completely worth it.
It's ridiculous and sad that this sleeper spy doesn't know who the person who serves him is. And these people who served him and sacrificed themselves did not know who they died for. Even, some people don't understand why they want to die. The intelligence front has always been so cruel, and everyone is just a chess piece.
Meng Shaoyuan, Republic of China ......"
……
Fan Dishen, 44, is an agent of the Shanghai Special Office of the Military Command. In June 1938, he arrived in Chongqing and entered the Chongqing Senior Special Agent Training Course.
On 15 June, he was arrested for bringing a pistol home without permission and was subsequently detained in the Chongqing Special Secret Prison.
He was released in December 1944.
Just because of such a small crime, he was imprisoned for 6 years!
On the day of his release, he was handed over in an envelope.
Inside the envelope was a note and a check.
A check for $10,000.
Only three words were written on the note:
"Suffered!"
After that, Fan Dishen was promoted to major and military observer of a certain unit of the national army.
……
Zhao Wangwu, 28 years old, is an agent of the Shanghai Special Office of the Military Command. In June 1938, he arrived in Chongqing and entered the Chongqing Senior Special Agent Training Course.
At the end of June, he was arrested for making a few light remarks to the wife of an officer.
He was released in January 1945.
He was also given a note with the words "suffered" and an envelope with a check for $10,000.
Zhao Wangwu was promoted to captain and later engaged in logistics work for a long time.
……
Kong Luxian, 30 years old, is an agent of the Shanghai Special Office of the Military Command. In June 1938, he arrived in Chongqing and entered the Chongqing Senior Special Agent Training Course.
Be cautious and never cause trouble.
On July 2, after a secret report, letters exchanged with Japanese people were found in his dormitory, and Kong Luxian was arrested despite his loud complaints.
In April 1943, he committed suicide in prison.
In June 1945, his wife was given an envelope containing a check for $20,000.
There was also a note in the envelope:
"Your husband is a hero!"
A few days later, Kong Luxian was posthumously awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel.
That day, Kong Luxian's wife was crying.
It's not because of the check, but because the husband's grievances for so many years have finally been washed away.
……
Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette.
But when I smoke it in my mouth, I feel a bitter feeling.
Until now, he didn't know if he had made the right decision.
What if that's not a trap?
What if Hou Qunfeng really took that road?
Then not only did he fail to live up to the information sent by Tian Qi's adventure, but he also lost fifteen agents in vain.
"Director Meng, the flowers are awake."
"Got it." Meng Shaoyuan extinguished his cigarette and stood up......
……
"Brother Meng!"
As soon as she saw Meng Shaoyuan, Hua'er finally cried.
The grievances of so many days have been completely released.
As soon as she cried, her wounds hurt.
But she didn't care.
Compared to the pain in the heart, what is the pain in the body?
She had no relatives, and she originally thought that Tian Qi was her relative, but she found out that she was wrong.
Meng Shaoyuan is already her only relative in this world.
She grabbed Meng Shaoyuan's hand tightly, and refused to relax for a moment: "Kill him, Brother Meng, help me kill Tian Qi, a brute, and help me take revenge, revenge!" ”
"Flowers, calm down, I will." Meng Shaoyuan could only comfort her like this: "I promise, I will definitely kill Tian Qi to avenge you!" ”
"Kill him, kill him, kill him......"
The flowers are turning over and over again, and they keep repeating these three words......
……
Finally stabilized Hua'er's mood, and watched her slowly fall asleep, Meng Shaoyuan quietly left the ward.
The doctor was already waiting outside, and as soon as he saw him come out, he said, "Most of the injuries will gradually heal, and the fracture needs to be well rested." Overall, it will take about three months to fully recover. But ......"
"But what?"
"I suspect she's pregnant."
"What?" Meng Shaoyuan's eyes widened suddenly.
In the past few days, it was the third time he had heard that someone was pregnant.
But the mood of the three times was completely different.
"It's not sure yet, and another test is needed."
"I see."
Meng Shaoyuan muttered.
Flowers are pregnant?
Can't let Tian Qi know, never!
This news has the potential to make Tian Qi a normal person again.
But more likely to be negative.
An agent, especially a sleeper agent, can quickly change his mindset when he learns that the woman he loves is pregnant and that he is about to have a baby.
He will care about his children, he will become less determined, he will hesitate when he should dedicate himself.
Because he has children.
There is even a possibility that he will defect.
Because he has children, he wants to see his own children.
Live and see!
"Wu Jingyi."
"Here."
"From now on, Hua'er is not allowed to have any contact with the outside world, strictly block the news, and when her injuries can go to the ground, immediately send her to Chongqing, strictly guard, and no contact with the outside world!"
