Chapter 845: Loss-making business

Shanghai Tang was bloody for a while, and Yang Boyan and other famous traitors were ruthlessly eradicated by the military commanders.

This quickly caused consternation among the traitors.

The military commanders began to kill!

In the past, of course, the military commanders also killed traitors, but they were definitely not as ruthless as they are now.

It seems that overnight, they targeted them mainly against the Japanese.

Kill a kill, you can always give someone to get off the horse, and you can always make those traitors temporarily peaceful for a while.

Temporary.

When the turmoil passes, these traitors, big and small, will resurface.

And when Meng Shaoyuan was doing something to the traitors in Shanghai, Zhou Weilong, the head of the Shanghai Hidden District of the Military Command, also stared at a suspicious object with his eyes:

Tang Shaoyi!

This veteran of the Republic of China is very likely to defect!

In the event of a mutiny, the assassination will begin!

In Zhou Weilong's eyes, assassinating one Tang Shaoyi is more influential than assassinating dozens of traitors!

The Tang Mansion was stared at deadly.

Meng Shaoyuan seemed to be ready to give up the credit for assassinating Tang Shaoyi.

On September 24, 1938, the Ministry of Industry of the Shanghai Public Concession.

"Mr. Meng Shaoyuan, Mr. Koichi Habara."

Moyes, president of the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry, stared at the two people in front of him: "I know that there is a big grudge between you, but now Mr. Meng Shaoyuan has asked to meet, so I have made an appointment to meet the two." This is the Ministry of Industry Bureau, and none of you are carrying weapons, so you can talk calmly and honestly. Remember to obey the laws of the Public Concession and don't let unpleasant things happen. ”

"Mr. President, I think we will." Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

"Okay then." Moyes stood up: "From now on, this office will be yours for the time being, and you can talk here for as long as you want." ”

This time, it was a negotiation that Meng Shaoyuan took the initiative to invite.

When the Japanese received the invitation to negotiate, they were a little surprised.

That Japanese public enemy actually took the initiative to invite negotiations?

What medicine is being sold in his gourd?

Koichi Habara took the initiative to ask Ying to take on the heavy responsibility of this negotiation.

No one wants to sit face-to-face with Meng Shaoyuan again and have a good talk with him more than him.

"Meng Shaoyuan, will there be any conspiracy, will you take this opportunity to assassinate?" Kenji Dohihara is still a little worried.

"No, Your Excellency, he's not like that." Koichi Habara said with great certainty: "In Shanghai, negotiations between intelligence agencies will happen regularly, and if he takes this opportunity to make a big fuss, then he will lose all opportunities for future negotiations." He also knew that even if he succeeded in assassinating me, it would not have much impact on the bigger picture. In his eyes, I was just a small person. ”

"Then, take this opportunity to kill him!" Hiroshi Miyado said murderously.

Hikaru Habara smiled: "You think he will give you such a chance?" Since he dared to meet us, he was already fully armed from the beginning of his hair. ”

Therefore, Habara Koichi calmly came to see Meng Shaoyuan, and even brought only two entourages.

"The first time we met, it was in Nanjing." Hawara Koichi looked calm: "At that time, your name was Rukawa Kaede, who would have thought that the person sitting in front of me at that time would be the strongest agent on the surface?" ”

"It's a nickname you Japanese gave me." Meng Shaoyuan took out his cigarette case: "Smoking? ”

"Egyptian smoke? Or do you have the money. Habara Koichi took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, and took out a lighter to help Meng Shaoyuan light the cigarette himself: "The money you cheated from Matsudaira Tetsuhiro this time is enough for you to live a long and luxurious life." ”

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "You don't care? ”

"Care? Why should I care? Habara Koichi lit a cigarette for himself: "That's the Ministry of Finance, I'm in charge of intelligence, and they have an accident, and it doesn't have much to do with me." People's energy is limited, and if you have to manage everything, you can't manage anything well. If we want to hold ourselves accountable at home, we don't have any responsibility. ”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "You have always been a smart person. ”

They watched a very casual conversation here, not at all like an enemy bent on taking each other's lives.

"You have killed a lot of Chinese during this time." Hawara Koichi sighed: "Get those, yes, traitors are panicked, and they bring a lot of passivity to our work." ”

Meng Shaoyuan also sighed: "It's a pity that there are still two biggest traitors who have not been eradicated. ”

Of course, Yuhara Koichi knew that the two biggest traitors he was talking about were Miao Chengfang and Tian Qi: "Mr. Meng, let's say, what is the specific content of your proposal for negotiation today?" ”

Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a moment: "I'm going to exchange five of your captured agents for one person!" ”

Almost instantly, Hakuhara Koichi guessed: "Liao Yuting? ”

"Yes, that's him." Meng Shaoyuan admitted frankly: "How is his current condition? ”

"Not so good." Koichi Hawara said honestly: "The continuous interrogation, the uninterrupted torture that I have always opposed, has brought him to the point of running out of oil, and our doctors have tried their best to save him, but I am afraid that he will not last long." ”

Meng Shaoyuan's heart sank.

Try your best to save Liao Yuting, it is Gu Fanyuandao's own business, he has lost a son on the battlefield, and Liao Yuting is his only son.

Meng Shaoyuan will do his best to do this.

He knew that after a long period of detention, the Japanese should have gotten what they wanted from Liao Yuting, and Liao Yuting was not of much value to them.

It's quite possible.

Although Liao Yuting's way of doing things is radical, he is not even a military commander, and he almost killed Meng Shaoyuan several times, but an agent who has been silently lurking for the country for so many years, sending so much information, and saving so many lives should always give him an explanation.

Even if it's the last confession.

"Mr. Meng, I don't particularly understand." Koichi Hahara raised the doubts in his heart: "Liao Yuting is dying, I can prove this." Is it worth it for you to take five Imperial agents and exchange them for one who is dying? ”

"How do I explain that?" Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a while and then said: "In your eyes, Liao Yuting is a traitor and a spy, but in our eyes, he is a hero. Just like Yasuei Itauchi, he is also a hero in the eyes of you Japanese. The Chinese have a custom that when a person is about to die, he must die in his own bed, so that his future soul can find his way home. ”

"Ah, similar to our Japanese spiritualist ritual." Koichi Hahara seemed to understand a little: "Mr. Meng, out of respect for you, I can try to facilitate this. However, this is a business, and originally Liao Yuting didn't have much value, but since you took the initiative to mention it, then he instantly became valuable, so please forgive me, your price is not enough. ”

Meng Shaoyuan was a little helpless.

It's a business.

When talking about business, you should be calm and see who asks the price in advance. And now that he has a trick to do business, he has no choice, he can wait, but Liao Yuting can't afford to wait.

The initiative of this business has been controlled by Koichi Hahara.

"Say it." Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "What price do you want?" ”

"Ten of our captured agents." Habara Koichi opened his mouth: "I will write you the specific list, no one can be released, we will refuse to do this business." ”

He then took a pen and paper and wrote down the names of ten people.

Meng Shaoyuan took it and took a look: "Mr. Yuyuan, this business can't be done." You see, there is the deputy stationmaster of your Jing'an Temple liaison station and the captain of the mobile team, these are all important people, and they are exchanged for a dying person, I refuse. ”

Since the initiative is in the hands of the other party, what Meng Shao originally had to do was how to minimize the chips he was about to pay.

"But the value of their bodies, if my guess is right, will be squeezed dry by you, right?"

The two Chinese and Japanese intelligence leaders bargained like vendors in the vegetable market.

The two sides pick at each other little by little, often the name of one person, which can almost cause a fierce quarrel.

For an entire hour, they were arguing about the list.

In the end, the two sides settled on the list of seven people.

Seven people for one!

"Mr. Habara, I have a heartfelt word." Meng Shaoyuan shook his head slightly: "Since I arrived in Shanghai, it is the first time to do a loss-making business. ”

"People, it won't be smooth sailing for the rest of your life, we have suffered so many losses in your hands, and we finally have a slight advantage." Habara Koichi said very seriously: "But I'm sure that with your character, you will definitely try your best to make back the losses you suffered this time." ”

He was right.

Meng Shaoyuan is by no means the one who suffers.

"Mr. Meng, I have another question, but this is not within the scope of negotiations, it is just my personal question."

"Please."

"Can you really see through what people are thinking?"

Koichi Habara said seriously: "I don't believe in magical stories, I only believe in science, I guess, you must have mastered some kind of discipline that we don't know, it is very likely to be psychology, but your knowledge of me far surpasses ours." The leadership of technology makes many people think that you have mysterious powers. Is that so? ”

"There are so many magical things in this world." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "The first time primitive people saw fire, they respected it like a god, but then they discovered the beauty of fire. Human beings fantasized about soaring in the sky, so the flying machine was invented. You're right, what I have in my hands is nothing more than science. After learning from the painful experience, Japan quickly suppressed China. And I'm using my knowledge to take the lead over you! ”

"I see." Koichi Habara stood up: "You are an opponent worthy of my respect, see you on the battlefield, Mr. Meng." ”

"See you on the battlefield, Mr. Hawara, I think the war between us is far from over!"
