It was the second day of the arrival of Soviet pilots in Shanghai.

The Japanese do not seem to have discovered the existence of these foreign pilots.

But how do you get them out safely?

This requires careful planning.

Mr. Gong didn't have any news.

Did this person arrive in Shanghai?

How safe is it now?

Nothing.

Meng Shaoyuan found that the power of inspectors is very large, and it is easy to create a sense of mystery among people, which often makes communication between them difficult.

Now that the Japanese already know about Mr. Gong's existence, they will definitely try their best to catch this person.

June 27, 1938, afternoon.

Meng Shaoyuan went to the International Hotel and chatted with Colonel Anatolysky for a while.

The mood of the Soviet pilots was relatively stable.

Some of those who had physical problems during the long journey were also treated in time.

Anatolysky was still very satisfied with the Chinese arrangement, and only asked when they could leave Shanghai, so that they could meet their comrades who were fighting in Wuhan as soon as possible, and fight those barbaric Japanese fiercely!

Meng Shaoyuan replied clearly that within ten days, he would say that they would be sent out of Shanghai safely no matter what.

Colonel Anatolysky originally wanted to leave Meng Shaoyuan for dinner together, but when he thought of Mr. Colonel's drinking, Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, and quickly found an excuse to refuse.

Just kidding, drink again, it's really going to be righteous here.

As soon as I arrived in the hall downstairs, Manager Ge was already waiting there: "Boss Meng, Manager Xu Chengbo Xu has called, let you go to him as soon as the matter here is done." ”

"Oh, got it." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Lao Ge, my guests, you must take care of them, once there are suspicious characters on their floor, they will be secretly arrested." In case of resistance, it is not a matter of killing. ”

"Yes, Boss Meng."

Meng Shaoyuan was about to leave, but suddenly stopped: "Lao Ge, you have been in Shanghai for so many years, and you have accumulated a lot of family funds, right?" ”

Manager Ge immediately smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I bought a few houses and rented them to others, which really made a little money." ”

"It's good to make money, who doesn't want to make money." Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "If you have to believe me, in just these two years, I will sell all the real estate such as the house, exchange them for US dollars, pounds and gold, and deposit them in foreign banks." ”

Manager Ge was stunned for a moment, and then understood something: "Boss Meng, do you mean that the situation in Shanghai has changed?" ”

"Not yet." Meng Shaoyuan didn't know what to say to him clearly: "In the past two years, the concession will still be running and dancing, but it will be difficult to say in the future." I heard that the United States has suffered a major financial crisis, and it has not been relieved until now, housing prices are very low, and you take the money to buy a few houses in the United States, just like being your charter office. ”

"Hey, I'll do what you say." Manager Ge did not hesitate at all: "I also think about sending my wife and children to foreign countries or Hong Kong, it is convenient to do things here alone." But you know who I am, and I can't leave. ”

"Prepare in advance." Meng Shaoyuan patted him on the shoulder: "Being alone in Shanghai, there will really be something to do when the time comes, and it will be convenient to run, I personally approved it." ”

"Then I really thank you, Boss Meng."

Manager Ge is a little different from other members of the military command, when he was recruited into the organization, he was already married and had a family, and he was regarded as a supernumerary member of the military command.

However, over the years, he has been loyal to his duties, and his reputation has always been very good, and he is basically regarded as a member of the army.

……

"Boss Meng."

As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan entering the company, Xu Chengbo hurriedly greeted him.

"What's the matter, so urgent?"

"Someone from Chóng Qìng's side."

Xu Chengbo said in a low voice.

"Oh, really?"

Meng Shaoyuan immediately followed Xu Chengbo into his office.

"Section Chief Meng!"

In the office, a heroic young man stood up with a "ho".

Those who don't call Meng Shaoyuan "director" and call him "section chief" are all "old men".

"Qiu Xingchang!"

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Why did you come to Shanghai?" ”

"My subordinates don't care about Section Chief Meng all the time, so this time there was just the opportunity, and my subordinates immediately rushed to Shanghai to listen to Section Chief Meng's teachings in person."

"Get out!"

Meng Shaoyuan scolded with a smile: "I found that your kid's sycophant kung fu has made great progress." ”

Xu Chengbo arranged the two of them, walked out with interest, and closed the office door with his hand.

He is a close confidant of Boss Meng, but he mainly helps him take care of the smuggling business.

The less I know about the affairs of the military commander, the better.

"How did you get here?" As soon as he sat down, Meng Shaoyuan immediately asked.

"Xingchang doesn't know much about other people, but he knows that this is Section Chief Meng's property, and Manager Xu and our Qiu family often exchange telegrams and letters, and I have been to Chóng Qìng twice, so I think this is the safest place."

Qiu Xingchang's words made Meng Shaoyuan's expression become solemn: "Say, what special task makes you so nervous?" ”

"Section Chief Meng, do you probably know that Director Dai sent an inspector to Shanghai?"

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned, he talked to Wu Jingyi about this matter last night, and secretly sent a telegram to Dai Li in the morning to ask about it: "What's wrong?" ”

"The Second Division of our military command is about to set up a separate military control bureau, with Director He Yaozu and Deputy Director Dai Lidai, and Director Dai is responsible for the main affairs. This time, Director Dai sent a lot of inspectors to various places, in order to ensure a smooth transition, Shanghai is the top priority, so Director Dai sent a key member Mr. Gong. ”

Qiu Xingchang carefully explained: "The inspector's requirement is that he has nothing to do with the leaders of the local organization and has nothing to do with local interests, so as to be fair and fair. Mr. Gong, the inspector sent to Shanghai this time, has been active in Beiping, Tianjin, and other places in the past. In February of the 26th year of the Republic of China, on the eve of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he was transferred to Hong Kong, and this time he was transferred from Hong Kong. ”

Dai Lian also took great pains.

Qiu Xingchang paused slightly, and then continued to report: "After giving him the order, we received another top-secret piece of information, the Japanese secret service has mastered the situation of Mr. Gong's departure, and is preparing to assassinate him in Shanghai to create chaos. ”

Meng Shaoyuan frowned.

This is exactly the same as the information I have just gotten.

"In order to ensure the successful completion of the assassination mission, the Japanese secret services sent their ace agent, Kota Tahara, to personally take charge of the assassination." Qiu Xingchang said everything he knew: "Kota Tahara has also been carrying out activities in Hong Kong, Macao and other places, killing a lot of our people, known as 'Japan's strongest killer'." ”

Japan's strongest killer?

The strongest agent on the surface?

Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

"During his time in Hong Kong, Mr. Gong and Kota Tahara fought many times, and they are old rivals." Qiu Xingchang took a sip of water and said: "Due to the successive accidents of the Shanghai Japanese special agency before, the Japanese suspected that there were traitors around them, so Tahara Kota decided to act alone to avoid the leakage of news, resulting in the failure of the operation. ”

"Kota Tahara's detailed information."

"This man is 44 years old this year, and his public identity is a Japanese businessman in Hong Kong, and our comrades in Hong Kong managed to get a picture of him."

Qiu Xingchang said and took out a photo.

Meng Shaoyuan took it and took a look.

The photo is still relatively clear, the man above looks a little fat, with thick hair, big eyes, and a big man, there are actually two dimples.

No matter how you look at it, he looks like an amiable middle-aged man, and he can't be connected with the strongest killer at all.

Chóng Qìng's work has been done very meticulously, and even the photos of his opponents have been obtained.

"This is a picture of Mr. Gong." Qiu Xingchang immediately took out the second photo: "Director Dai has specially instructed that even he only has such a photo of Mr. Gong, in order to ensure Mr. Gong's safety, let you burn it immediately after reading it." ”

Meng Shaoyuan looked at it carefully, the photo was very old and blurry, but he could barely distinguish it, he remembered the face on the photo firmly in his mind, and then lit a lighter and watched the photo burn in front of him.

"Section Chief Meng, this time it was Director Dai who specially found me and sent me, and Director Dai asked me to tell you that due to the change in the situation, you will personally be responsible for Mr. Gong's safety in Shanghai to ensure that nothing happens to him."

The person Dai Li trusted the most was himself, and he knew that Qiu Xingchang was his person in Chóng Qìng, so he specially arranged for him to come. This is tantamount to handing over everything that Mr. Gong has done in Shanghai.

"How do I find Mr. Gong?"

"Director Dai has made proper arrangements, and after Mr. Gong arrives in Shanghai, he will appear in different places on different days in case of special circumstances. Tomorrow is the 28th, at 12 noon, No. 307, Lao Pickle Lane, where you will meet Mr. Gong. I also brought the connector code. And as soon as Director Dai asked you to see Mr. Gong, he asked him, what day is the first day of June? ”

"How should he answer?"

His answer was that my birthday on the file was the sixth day of August, but my real birthday was the first day of June. So, it was my birthday. Mr. Dai said the photo was taken many years ago and "isn't particularly accurate." But this issue is only known to Director Dai and Mr. Gong, so no one can fake it.

"Mr. Dai is really meticulous in his work." Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "I know, your journey is hard, take a rest first, and I'll talk to you in detail at night." ”

"Yes, Chief Meng." Qiu Xingchang hesitated: "This time I went back to Shanghai, I, I also brought a person." ”

"Who?" Meng Shaoyuan's face instantly became gloomy.

"Section Chief Meng, I know this is a violation of discipline, but she just insists on coming with me."

"Oh, can't even you refuse?"

"It's not that I can't refuse, but I really can't refuse."

"Then let her come out and meet her."

"Yes, Section Chief Meng, I'll let her in now."

A few minutes later, the office door was pushed open again, and then a nice voice came out:

"Boss Meng, how are you doing in Shanghai? Ben Shuai is here! ”
