Chapter 426: Reverse Thinking
"There's never been a better time to assassinate Akagi kinyuki!"
Anyone would have thought that the military commander would never assassinate the police chief of a public concession bureau at such a time.
The Nationalist Government needed the solidarity of the international community, and the Public Concession was seen by the Great Powers as their best interest in China, and the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry was worried about angering the Japanese who had occupied Shanghai.
What are the consequences of assassinating a police commissioner?
No normal person would make such a crazy decision.
The question is:
Normal.
There are many normal people in this world, and there are also many "abnormal" people.
Like what:
Meng Shaoyuan!
This person's way of thinking is never normal.
Kill Akagi Kinyuki!
When Meng Shaoyuan made this decision, Wu Jingyi was taken aback.
This Young Master Meng is going to start going crazy again.
As his assistant, although Wu Jingyi knew that it was difficult, she still had to do her best to persuade her: "Director Meng, have you considered the consequences?" ”
"The consequences? What are the consequences? Meng Shaoyuan looked confused.
Wu Jingyi couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't care if this Young Master Meng really didn't know or pretended: "Akagi is the police chief of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, and he has just taken office, if he is assassinated at this time, it will completely anger the Japanese, and it will also anger the Ministry of Industry." ”
Meng Shaoyuan let out an "oh": "So what?" ”
Wu Jingyi was almost driven crazy by this Young Master Meng: "It's not going to be good, it's nothing more than crazy retaliation by the Japanese, and then the Ministry of Industry Bureau will also arrest and expel our agents." In the future, we will not be able to move an inch in the public concession! ”
"So serious?" Meng Shaoyuan seriously thought about it: "But can we think backwards?" ”
Thinking backwards? How to think backwards?
Meng Shaoyuan knew very well that even if he didn't appear in this era, Akagi Qinzhi would be dead.
Not only was it dead, but the attitude of the Japanese was so jaw-dropping that they didn't react for months.
At that time, even Dai Li, including Dai Li, was ready for the storm, but no one expected such an outcome.
The death of one of Akagi's relatives has dealt a heavy blow to the brand-new spy chain set up by Japan in Shanghai, but why have the Japanese delayed taking countermeasures?
Meng Shaoyuan knew why, thinking backwards, no one considered it from this point.
"I have repeatedly said that we must make full use of the contradictions of the Japanese secret services." Meng Shaoyuan finally stopped joking: "The Japanese Army, Navy, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent the so-called 'Imperial Three Tigers' at the same time, and let Akagi Jinyuki serve as the chief of police and take sole power.
If Akagi died in the slightest, the interests of the Japanese army and navy would not be damaged in the slightest, their main purpose was to occupy the whole of China, and the death of a spy had nothing to do with them, not to mention, it was the cadres of the competitors who died? What about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Will they protest to the Nationalist Government in a state of war, or, to the Public Concession Bureau?
The national government? We are at war, you kill my people, I kill yours, it's normal. What's more, do you have proof that I killed you? One word, Raippi. The Japanese use the word Laipi perfectly, the question is, if you are allowed to Laipi, why don't you allow me to be shameless? How can there be such a truth in this world?
As for the Ministry of Industry? That's even more fun. Note that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan represents a country, what does the Public Concession represent? It's a specific group, and the Japanese government will put pressure on the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, asking for a deadline to solve the case, arrest the murderer, and so on, and that's all they can do, but more fun things are coming.
What is the identity of Akagi kinyuki? A spy of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs? No, his identity is the police director of the Shanghai Public Concession Ministry of Industry Bureau! In this sense, his immediate boss is not the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry! A staff member of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau is dead, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has no right to meddle! ”
Wu Jingyi was completely stunned when she heard this.
How did Young Master Meng's brain turn? If you give him a few days and nights, you won't be able to connect these things, right?
The dignified Japanese spy leader is dead, and there is no way for the Japanese side to intervene?
"Then, we can talk about the attitude of the Ministry of Industry." Meng Shaoyuan had already calculated all the possible events: "After the death of Akagi Qin, what will happen to the Ministry of Industry?" will be very angry, and will swear to solve the case within a time limit. And then what? No, they know who did it, but they don't intervene deeply.
They are afraid of the Japanese, and they are equally worried about the reaction of the Chinese. The great powers were all paper tigers, or the Qing Dynasty, the people of Ningbo protested in the public concession, united as one, and the public concession softened. As soon as the Republic of China was established, the Anhui people protested in the public concession and went on strike, and the public concession relented.
They know very well that the public concession is on Chinese soil after all, and you can be powerful here, but you can't go too far and challenge the bottom line of the Chinese. The whole people are united in the war of resistance, and now in Shanghai, the aftermath of the war has not disappeared, if you wantonly arrest and expel the Chinese at this juncture, what the consequences will be, they know better than us.
Therefore, when Akagi is dead, they will do enough superficial things, and even arrest a few of us to deal with the Japanese, but in essence, they are in the mud there, so that the big things will be small, and the small things will be nothing. The trick is one word, drag. If we drag it on, this matter will be over, and it will become an unsolved case in Shanghai, unless we admit to killing Akagi Qinyuki! ”
Wu Jingyi served.
Young Master Meng made a clear psychological analysis of the Japanese and those people in the Ministry of Industry.
That's why he was so confident to hunt Akagi kinyuki.
"This is not only to be done, but the sooner it is done, the better." Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "We must not let Akagi Qinzhi gain a firm foothold in the public concession, everything we have at present is hard work." Wu Jingyi. ”
"Yes."
"Comprehensively investigate the whereabouts of Akagi Qinyuki, what time he goes out every day, where he is going, and where he is going, I have to know clearly."
"Yes."
"It's a pity that Lu Qinghong is not in Shanghai, help me find a sharpshooter."
"Yes."
"Go ahead and do it right away."
When Wu Jingyi went out, she muttered in her heart.
During the three months of the Songhu War of Resistance, the military commander's agents suffered heavy casualties.
There are already some people outside who have made up the sacrificed military commanders into the story, and they are all stars in the sky.
If these are true, then what kind of immortal is he Young Master Meng?
……
Margaret Manor, Coventry, United Kingdom.
Esteemed Mr. Daniel, it has been some time since he returned to England from distant China.
After completing his debriefing in London, he took a break from his work and returned to the manor named after his wife.
Margaret Manor, with the money he earned in China, was bought in Coventry a year ago.
I miss China so much.
After working in China for a few years, he returned to England and found it boring to put him in any position.
I really doubt Meng Shaoyuan.
My dear Meng, my dear God of Wealth, can I ever see you again?
Baron Wiggins came to visit early this morning, and the two chatted about the international situation, and then, naturally, talked about the war that was currently going on in the Far East.
"Japan, completely ruined the peace."
Having lived in China for so long, although the war between the two countries had nothing to do with the British, Daniel naturally chose to take sides:
"Shanghai is one of the few modern, open cities in China, where all countries are investing heavily and now it's all ruined by the damned Japanese."
"Yes, it's also in the interests of the UK." Baron Wiggins' face was serious: "The British Empire has been working in China for many years, and our relationship with China is very complicated. So my friend in London told me that Britain was going to send an envoy to China secretly to observe the extent of the destruction in Shanghai and the likely direction of the war, and to communicate with both China and Japan. ”
For a moment, Daniel's eyes lit up.
Back to China? Back to China!
"Your Excellency." Daniel couldn't wait to say, "Who better fit than me?" Having lived in China for so many years, especially in Shanghai, I know the city too well. Your Excellency, you and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain are close friends, and I propose that you recommend to His Excellency the Prime Minister that I should take up this post. ”
"Ah, you're a perfect fit." Baron Wiggins muttered: "But you have just come back from Shanghai, and you have to travel thousands of miles to Shanghai again, it is too hard and too harsh for you." ”
"For the sake of the British Empire, I am willing to undertake any difficult task." Daniel's expression was so serious: "I'll take this position well." Please do not hesitate any longer, Your Excellency, I will have someone buy a train ticket, and I will go with you to London. ”
"In such a hurry?"
"Yes, the interests of the British Empire cannot be delayed for a moment!" Daniel couldn't wait to exclaim, "Butler, butler, buy the fastest train ticket to London now!" ”
God, Mr. Daniel is so heartbroken for the sake of the British Empire. At this moment, Baron Wiggins' heart is full of respect for Mr. Daniel.
Shanghai, Shanghai, beautiful city, I'm here.
Meng Shaoyuan, my dearest God of Wealth...... Friend, I'm coming. Presumably, you missed me during my absence, too, right?
Ah, that stupid Sinclair, I don't know how to get along with Meng Shaoyuan, I hope that this time I will return to Shanghai and give Meng Shaoyuan some help.
Then, you can also give your wallet some help.
Daniel's heart had already flown to Meng Shaoyuan's side!
