In June 1942, the Japanese Navy suffered a major defeat at the Battle of Midway.

Nanjing Xuanwu Lake.

Chen Mansion.

"Third brother, the old fish is here." Xiao Qi went upstairs, pushed open the door of the study, and reported to Chen Miao.

"Ask him to come up."

"Old fish, what is the matter this time?" Chen Miao asked, Lao Yu easily didn't take the initiative to come to him, there must be something big to come to him.

"A few of us have been arrested by No. 76, and I want you to take care of them secretly so that they will suffer less." Old Fish Road.

"Cheng Peng's case?" As soon as Chen Miao heard it, he understood what Lao Yu said.

"Yes."

"Their boss, Zhou Fuhai, will not have a problem." Chen Miao said with a smile.

"If Zhou Fuhai comes forward, then your Minister Lin will not buy his face, and it may be even worse at that time." Old Fish Road.

"It's Lao Ma who handles this case, right?"

"It's Ma Mingyuan."

"On what grounds?"

"You and Cheng know each other, right?" The old fish asked.

"Well, I've seen it before, and the relationship is not too deep." Chen Miao nodded.

"Let's just say that Cheng's family has come to you, you just need to give Ma a call, and with his relationship with you, this face will be given to you." Old Fish Road.

"Well, I know, you go back first, I know about this." Chen Miao nodded, indicating that this matter should be settled.

……

"Cheng and Peng should be the contacts of the military command faction around Zhou Fuhai...... Chen Miao took the opportunity to return to Shanghai to meet with Lao Fan.

"How do you judge?"

"Zhou Fuhai has suffered losses, how could an intelligence group appear by his side, this kind of thing is too incredible." Chen Miao said, "I suspect that Zhou has long been clear about this case, Zhou is a person from the Qin Dynasty, and he secretly fornicated with Chongqing, which I don't think is strange at all." ”

"Isn't he afraid of the Wang clan and the Japanese?"

"Wang can't help him, and even if the Japanese know, they can't help him, at least there is no evidence to prove that he has colluded with Chongqing." Chen Miao analyzed, "If you want to move Zhou, if you don't have strong evidence, you can't do it, then the Wang family will become a frightened bird." ”

"It seems that Chongqing has been secretly in contact with Zhou." Lao Fan understood what Chen Miao meant, the defeat in the Battle of Midway, and Japan's shift from offense to defense in the Pacific Theater made the world's anti-*** war see the dawn of victory.

In the East Asian theater, the Japanese army had problems such as the front being stretched too long, the resources were consumed too quickly, and the troops were exhausted.

Even on the battlefield in China, Japan's anti-law and order operations, the cage policy, and the clean-up campaign did not achieve the results they expected, and even the anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines not only did not weaken, but continued to grow.

Although the strategic counteroffensive has not yet arrived, on the whole, it is already difficult for the Japanese army to launch a large-scale campaign.

Signs of Japan's decline on the battlefield are already emerging.

Although people like Zhou Fuhai are not political figures with integrity, in some respects, their judgment of the situation is more acute than that of normal people.

Leaving a way back for themselves, or finding a way to survive, is what these people like to do the most.

"Well, since that's the case, I'll go down the river and agree." Chen Miao said.

"Lin Shiqun, how do you explain it?"

"He is now taking care of his own wealth and power, and his work in this regard has basically been handed over to the people below." Chen Miao said, "Besides, there has been a similar situation in the past, and he doesn't want to have a hard fight with Zhou." ”

"You have a point." Old Fan nodded.

"This is the plan for the next phase of the clean-up work......"

……

At the end of 42, Kurihara Kozaburo Osa, the top military adviser of the Wang puppet government, was promoted to the rank of major general and transferred to Beiping.

Lin Shiqun's biggest backer in Wang's puppet government left and was replaced by a lieutenant general named Shibayama Shiro.

This Shibayama is not like Kurihara Kozaburo, he is quite unaccustomed to Lin Shiqun's behavior, and even criticized Lin Shiqun's behavior in public.

Lin Shiqun's frenzied grabbing of interests and power over the years has offended many people, even the Japanese.

Lin can be said to be full of enemies within Wang Puppet.

When Kurihara Kozaburo was there, Zhou Fuhai didn't dare to do anything to Lin Shiqun, but now Kurihara Kozaburo has resigned, and the new Shibayama's attitude towards Lin is a 180-degree turn compared with Kurihara Kozaburo, and all the people who have had a holiday with Lin Shiqun in the past, and even have deep grievances, have begun to move.

Soon there were people secretly connecting with each other within Wang Puppet, and a huge inverted "forest" alliance was formed.

But Lin Shiqun has a powerful force of agents, rich and powerful, these people used to not even dare to express their dissatisfaction in private, but now, they can be openly dissatisfied, and even cause all kinds of conflicts.

It is impossible for Lin Shiqun to back down, and the friction is naturally intensifying.

Chen Miao understood Lin Shiqun's situation, although he was self-inflicted and unworthy of sympathy, but he was helpless to make such a tough choice.

If he retreats, I am afraid that these people will rush up and kill him completely.

One night at the end of the year.

Chen Miao was planning to go back to Shanghai for the New Year the next day, and was packing up her things, when suddenly the telephone in the living room rang.

Chen Miao thought it was Liang Xueqin from Shanghai calling, and walked over to pick up the phone.

"Hey."

"Teacher, it's me." Chu Qingxuan's voice came from the phone, which made Chen Miao feel a little surprised, at this time, how could Chu Qingxuan call him at this point.

"Qingxuan, is there something wrong?" Chen Miao asked.

"Someone asked me to ask you, he wants to visit you before you meet in Shanghai." Chu Qingxuan's voice was a little nervous, as if the identity of this person who entrusted him was not ordinary.

"When?" Chen Miao was a little surprised, Chu Qingxuan rarely came to him for other people's affairs, and in his impression, there was no one else except Chu Nanyang.

"Half an hour later."

"Okay, you let him come back in half an hour." Chen Miao nodded and agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you, teacher." "Breathe a sigh of relief" is clearly heard on the other end of the line.

……

Half an hour later, there was a sound of a car motor in front of the door, and Chen Miao walked out of the balcony of his home and took a look.

A small black car stopped at the door of the house, and the person wearing a black velvet hat got down from it, because there was a hat to cover it, and he couldn't see his face, but he looked at the back and was a little familiar, and he should have seen this person.

Xiao Qi went out to open the door to greet him and welcomed people in.

Chen Miao also came downstairs, so that Chu Qingxuan could call at this time, this person must be very important to her.

It was also proper etiquette for him to go downstairs to greet him.

However, Xiao Qi, when you led people into the living room, took off their hats, and revealed their true faces, he was stunned.

It was actually Ding Mohan who was kicked out of No. 76.

Ding Mohan was kicked out of No. 76, and although he still served as the Minister of Society, he was excluded from the Wang puppet group and completely marginalized.

At this time, he actually wanted to visit him through Chu Qingxuan's relationship, what did he want to do?

If Lin Shiqun knew that he actually met Ding Mohan, he was afraid that he would not know what he would think, although he was no longer afraid of Lin Shiqun, but the label of "Lin Shiqun's hardcore confidant" on him had always been there.

"It turned out to be Mr. Ding, please take a seat." Chen Miao commanded, "Xiao Qi, serve tea." ”

Xiao Qi agreed.

"Director Chen, Ding was presumptuous to come, but he really couldn't find a suitable person, so he found Miss Chu, but I didn't expect her to agree to help with this." Ding Mohan walked over and sat down on the sofa.

"If Mr. Ding had been one step late, I might have already gone to the train station." Chen Miao said with a smile.

"That's my luck." Ding Mohan smiled, "I don't know if I can call you Brother Sanshui?" ”

"Mr. Ding, there is no need to be so polite between you and me, what do you want to say, just open your mouth." Chen Miao said, "I can help privately, and I won't shirk it." ”

"Okay, I won't talk darkly, I actually represent Mr. Zhou's meaning." Ding Mohan said.

Chen Miao understood in an instant.

Ding Mohan came to be a lobbyist for Zhou Fuhai, but didn't Zhou Fuhai know Ding Mohan's relationship with him?

I actually sent him over, but there is still no one to send?

In other words, Zhou sent Ding to come, it is not easy to be concerned, because Ding himself has been marginalized, basically no one pays attention, if he hadn't brought a lot of people to Wang Puppet at the beginning, these people are now in some important positions in Wang's puppet government.

These people are also a big force, and Ding still has some value.

"Now what is the situation of your Minister Lin, you are also very clear, it can be said that you have made enemies on all sides, and everyone is targeted, Mr. Zhou's tolerance for him has reached the limit, and Mr. Wang is also very dissatisfied with him, thinking that he is too domineering, but even so, he still does not know how to restrain himself, and he is tyrannical, and he doesn't even listen to the orders of the Japanese." Ding Mo said.

Chen Miao sat there and didn't speak, he knew that what Ding Mohan said was not bad, and Lin Shiqun was indeed a little crazy now.

Sometimes, even his sometimes advice would not be heeded, and he would no longer advise him in this regard.

"Mr. Ding, I was picked up by Minister Lin, are you letting me betray him now?" Chen Miao sat on the sofa and asked slowly.

"Although Lin Shiqun promoted and reused you, you are not his Lin Shiqun's official, it is Mr. Wang's, your loyalty to Lin Shiqun is small loyalty, and Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhou can represent the government of our country, you won't understand the truth." Ding Mohan obviously came prepared, Chen Miao didn't blast him out immediately, which can already explain an attitude.

If Chen Miao hadn't had any dissent, he wouldn't have had a chance to sit down just now, but now he not only sat down, but also spoke.

"Yes, but I know that throughout the history of China, half-heartedly, acting as a two-surnamed domestic slave, or even a three-surnamed domestic slave, will not end well." Chen Miao is not stupid, people like Ding Mohan, as long as they walk into their own door, they will definitely make a big fuss next.

"Brother Sanshui, Minister Zhou is a good intention, you are young and have a great future, why should you be buried for nothing for a Lin Shiqun, think about it, your wife still has a pair of children?" Ding Mo said.

"You threaten me!"

Chen Miao was like a cat with its tail stepped on in an instant, exuding this fierce murderous aura all over her body.

With Ding Mohan's qualifications and identity, he shouldn't be afraid, but at this moment, he really had a feeling of being targeted by death.

"Brother Sanshui, once Lin Shiqun loses power, think about what will happen to you, his right-hand men, when the time comes, it will inevitably affect his family and children, isn't what I said the truth?" Ding Mohan swallowed a mouthful of water.

……

"Director, did you hear me clearly?" On the New Year of the 43rd year of the lunar calendar, Chen Miao went to pay New Year's greetings to Lin Shiqun and brought a tape as a New Year's gift.

"Sanshui, I can't imagine that at this time, only you don't have any second thoughts, and you are still firmly on my side." Lin Shiqun sighed with emotion.

"The director has the grace of knowing me, how can I, Chen Miao, be a villain who will take revenge?" Chen Miao bowed slightly.

"You're good, it seems that it's time to put number 76 in your hands."

"Director, this is not good, I really can't take on this important responsibility......"

"Sanshui, you can afford it, in this way, you will be a deputy minister first, make a transition, and when you are familiar with the affairs, you will take over the secret service headquarters in full." Lin Shiqun seems to really have the intention of handing over the control of the No. 76 agent headquarters to Chen Miao.

"In this way, if you let me show you your home, that's no problem, I promise to show you a good job, as for the specific affairs of the secret service headquarters, I will report to you and then give instructions, do you think this will work?" Chen Miao said humbly.

"This is not good, many things are time-sensitive, you ask for instructions and report on everything like this, is it easy to make mistakes, or should you take it, you really can't make up your mind, you can come to me to discuss."

Chen Miao reluctantly agreed.

……

"Mr. Zhou, the time is ripe." When she returned home, Chen Miao immediately used a special line to call Zhou Fuhai, who was also in Shanghai for the New Year.

Ding Mohan's strategy is to detain him first regardless of whether he can say that he will defect or not, and as long as Lin Shiqun knows that he has met Ding Mohan, in this case, he will be estranged if he does not doubt it.

It's a vicious ploy.

And Chu Qingxuan should also see it, anyway, she also knew that Ding Mohan was using herself, and she was willing to be used, to put it bluntly, she just wanted him to "eat dog" with Ding Mohan and him, and also, let Lin Shiqun be suspicious of herself, this is two eagles with one stone, or even three eagles.

He, a student, is getting deeper and deeper, and he is getting darker and darker.

But Chen Miao is much smarter than Ding Mohan, in fact, he has always had recordings, recorded all the conversations between him and Ding Mohan, and then pinched his head and tail and showed it to Lin Shiqun.

In that case, Ding Mohan wanted to spread rumors again, Lin Shiqun not only wouldn't believe it, but trusted Chen Miao even more.

And Chen Miao didn't give Ding Mohan a chance at all, just an outdated spy leader, what qualifications did he have to negotiate with him, if he wanted to talk, he naturally had to talk to Zhou Fuhai.

On September 6, 1943, under the secret design of Zhou Fuhai and the Japanese, Lin Shiqun ate poisonous beef patties when he went to the family banquet of Okamura, the special high school section of the military police.

Two days later, the big spy leader who had been rampant in Shanghai for several years died violently!

When Lin died, his skin shrunk to brown, and his body curled up like the size of a dead dog, and his condition was exactly the same as when Wu Yunfu died.
