Yi Hua'an heard Ning Zhiheng's reprimand, his heart tightened, knowing that the loss of contact with Xu Yongchang made Ning Zhiheng quite dissatisfied, and hurriedly said: "It's all my fault, negligent arrangement, so that Xu Yongchang lost contact, so what should I do now?" ”

Ning Zhiheng pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said: "We must not be able to contact him, otherwise if we are not careful, we will lose everything, the consequences are too serious, this is not Shanghai, if something goes wrong here, we don't even have room to return to the loop, we can only give up this line for the time being, and I will think of a way." ”

In fact, according to the requirements of intelligence work, Yi Huaan's arrangement of Xu Yongchang was not wrong, but Xu Yongchang did not report it before he traveled, thinking that there must be special circumstances that made Xu Yongchang too late or unable to contact the outside world, and it seems that it was also a confidentiality measure taken by Li Zhiqun and Wang Hanmin.

But now that he can't contact Xu Yongchang for a while, he can't understand the movements of Li Zhiqun and others, I don't know why, when he thinks of Wang Hanmin, Ning Zhiheng's heart is always a little uneasy, he feels that he must have missed something, but he can't sort out the clue for a while, this feeling makes him very uncomfortable, it seems that he can only try He Siming's channel, I hope I can understand.

And at this time, in a room downstairs, Yuki Kagesa was listening to Li Zhiqun's work report.

Since he came to Qingdao yesterday afternoon, Yuki Kagesa has been busy with the preparations for the meeting, and it is only now that he has found time to have a detailed discussion with Li Zhiqun.

Li Zhiqun reported the work of the week to Hiroki Kagesa in detail, and finally said: "At present, we have found Ding Mingzhen's family and taken measures to lure her into the bait, I believe that today and tomorrow, there will be a new breakthrough." ”

Hiroki Kagesa nodded slightly, in general, he was still satisfied with the performance of Li Zhiqun and others, judging from the report, these people were still active and effective in doing things.

Although there were some mistakes along the way, he believed in Li Zhiqun's ability and should be sure to find out the Qingdao station of the military command.

Hiroki Kagesa smiled: "You have done a good job, it seems that Wang Hanmin is indeed a very valuable talent, his understanding of the military commandery, so that our operational efficiency has improved a lot, the previous Shanghai station and Nanjing station, to the current Qingdao station, I believe that the same will not disappoint me."

Li Jun, this person has been in the military command for so many years, he must have experienced a lot of personnel, and he has always been in an important position, there must be unspoken secrets in his head, you have to make good use of this, he will become your most powerful assistant, in addition, after this operation, I want to meet him in person. ”

"Yes, I have always attached great importance to Wang Hanmin's role." When Li Zhiqun heard Hiroki Kagesa's words, he knew that he recognized his work, and he was overjoyed, so he quickly nodded in agreement.

Kagesa Yuki nodded, and then said: "As for the leak of your whereabouts you mentioned, this is indeed a noteworthy issue, not many people know about this matter, I will communicate with Section Chief Sagawa to see what went wrong." However, I am more inclined to have a problem within your secret service headquarters, and you have not found out about that internal ghost, because so far, there has been no such problem within our Central China intelligence department, and I believe in their loyalty to the Empire! ”

Hiroki Kagesa's judgment was the same as Li Zhiqun's previous one, no matter what aspect he considered, there was the greatest chance of problems within the secret service headquarters.

Li Zhiqun respectfully agreed: "Yes, I understand that after I go back, I will carefully screen it again, and I will definitely find out this inner ghost, but the members of the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau have been lurking in Shanghai for a long time, and they are buried very deeply, and this job is very difficult." ”

"Shanghai Intelligence Bureau! Alas..."

Knowing this, Kagesa Yuki also sighed with deep sympathy, for this number one opponent, he was not very jealous, so that now as long as he mentioned this name, he felt a tightness in his chest, and there was a feeling of being out of breath.

However, at the same time, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, it was not long before the puppet government moved the capital to Nanjing, and then his shadow agency would also move to Nanjing together, this powerful opponent would be handed over to those local forces in Shanghai to have a headache, and he would not have the time and energy to take care of these troubles.

"At present, for us, the first task is to ensure the smooth progress of the tripartite convergence talks, if we can clear the Qingdao station before the meeting, it is the best, we speak louder in North China, even if we can't, we must ensure that they can't disrupt the meeting, but fortunately, our confidentiality work is not bad, even if they know now, they don't have time to react, don't put too much pressure on you, do your best!"

"Yes, thank you for taking care of me, I will do my best to resolve this matter as soon as possible." Li Zhiqun nodded gratefully to Yuki Kagesa and said.

I have to say that as far as his subordinates are concerned, Hiroki Kagesa is definitely a good commander, unlike other Japanese officers, he is relatively gentle in his way of doing things, and he is also more humane in dealing with people, and he is quite tolerant of his subordinates.

His assistant Qingqing Zhengliang sat in Shanghai for him, making such a big mistake as the Shanghai turmoil, and in the end, he just reprimanded him!

It is precisely because of his style that the relationship with the local forces in Shanghai is relatively relaxed, especially the close relationship with Fujiwara Tomohito, so that the Kagesa Agency is far more smooth than the previous Tohara Agency.

Hiroki Kagesa continued: "If you have the chance, you have to report to Mr. Wang, since the incident of Gao Tao and the others, he has not had a good impression of you. ”

"Yes, I will!"

Li Zhiqun nodded in agreement, but his face was obviously hesitant, and after thinking for a moment, he still asked: "Chief, since I joined the new government, I have always been incompatible with Mr. Wang's family, they have always rejected and guarded against me, in the past six months, especially with Zhou Fushan and others There have been many conflicts, you said, after the new government returns to Nanjing, where should our secret service headquarters go?" ”

In fact, Li Zhiqun has been thinking about this issue for a long time, and in the final analysis, his real backer is the shadow agency, not the puppet government.

If he still had some hope for the puppet government before, but the situation after that showed that it was difficult for him to integrate into the system, and now that the puppet government and the shadow agency are in Shanghai, it is okay to say, if they all move to Nanjing in the future, the secret service headquarters will be marginalized, and his status in the puppet government will be rapidly reduced, for this reason, he has always been worried.

Hiroki Kagesa laughed when he heard this, he has always admired Li Zhiqun's ability, this person is also a chess piece deliberately cultivated by the Japanese side to control the puppet government, how could he abandon it?

Hiroki Kagesa supports the puppet government while restraining it to prevent it from getting out of his control, and if Li Zhiqun's secret service headquarters are marginalized, then the puppet government will quickly form a force of its own agents, which will not be a good thing for the Japanese.

So now Li Zhiqun feels that it is incompatible with the puppet government system and difficult to integrate, but it is a good thing, if Li Zhiqun really throws himself into the puppet government like Ding Mo, then Hiroki Kagesa will be worried!

He looked at Li Zhiqun and said warmly: "Don't worry, I have already considered this matter, the secret service headquarters still has to stay in Shanghai for now, after all, it is the largest economic center in Central China, and it must not be handed over to other departments."

But for you, I have a better arrangement, after this meeting, I will propose that you serve as the new government's police minister, replace Zhou Fushan, and completely control the police and secret services of the new government, so that it will be difficult for the new government to bypass you in everything, after the new government moves the capital to Nanjing, you can go to Nanjing together as the police minister, take control of the police department, of course, you can't relax your management in Shanghai, what do you think? ”

Hiroki Kagesa's words made Li Zhiqun jump up from his seat excitedly, and Hiroki Kagesa actually promised to put the two major power departments of the puppet government into his hands, which was simply great news.

You must know that the current puppet government has just been established, and there is no decent army formed externally, at most it is just a patchwork of patchwork, with no combat effectiveness, and an appeasement army of 10,000 people.

Internally, there is only the power of the police department and the secret service department, if all are controlled by themselves, then to put it mildly, they are the most powerful figures in the puppet government system, at that time, what Zhou Fushan, Ding Mo and the like, don't put it in their eyes, say a thousand things and ten thousand, the gun in the hand in the troubled times is the last word,

Li Zhiqun is naturally convinced of Hiroki Kagesa's promise, in fact, Li Zhiqun has been watching the position of Minister of Police before, but Zhou Fushan took the lead and failed to succeed.

Later, Qingqing Zhengliang also promised him and let him take the position of deputy director of the Ministry of Police, but before he even had time to take office, he was revoked by Wang Reclamation, which caused Li Zhiqun's dream of stepping into the puppet government as a ministerial-level senior official several times shattered.

However, Hiroki Kagesa's promise is of course different, as the founder of the puppet government and the real backstage boss, what he says is that Wang Reclamation must listen obediently, and dare not have the slightest disobedience, as long as Hiroki Kagesa nods and admits it, this matter will be ironclad, and there will be no nod from Hiroki Kagesa in the future, I am afraid that no one will be able to revoke this appointment.

Li Zhiqun only felt a rush of blood to his brain, and his mood was incomprehensible, he straightened up, took a deep breath, and then bowed deeply in front of Kagesa Yuki, and said loudly after getting up: "Thank you for the support and love of the chief, Zhiqun will do his best, please rest assured, I will definitely put the interests of the empire first, and I will never give up!" ”

Knowing this, Yuki Kagesa laughed, patted Li Zhiqun's shoulder, and encouraged Wen Yan: "Li Jun, I have absolute trust in you, do a good job, I look forward to your performance!" ”

The two of them talked a few more words, until his subordinates knocked on the door and came to invite Yuki Kagesa to come downstairs to the welcome banquet, Li Zhiqun got up to say goodbye and bowed out.

Out of the room, Li Zhiqun only felt that his mind was extremely smooth, and even the air he breathed was a little fresher, he waved his hand vigorously, feeling full of strength and excitement, it can be said that he was full of ambition and ambition, and his pace of walking was a little faster.

Now he is in no mood to report to Mr. Wang at all, so he simply leaves these people behind, he now has to hurry up, find out the whereabouts of Qingdao Station, sing a good show to Kagesa Yuki, strike while the iron is hot, and perform well.

Walked directly out of the door of the hotel, came to the side of the roadside parked car, several key personnel also surrounded them, they were originally brought by Li Zhiqun to welcome the puppet government and his party to fill the scene, but the Japanese did not let them pull aside at all, so they had to wait here, including Xu Yongchang.

Li Zhiqun didn't talk nonsense, he waved his hand directly, and the group hurriedly got into the car and left quickly.
