In the Shanghai Concession, there was a mix of foreigners, Chinese, and even many Indians.

Just like the name in later generations, Shanghai at this time was definitely an out-and-out magic capital...

Prosperous, but chaotic, this is the true portrayal of Shanghai.

But these are completely meaningless for Li Guoyun.

"Sir, do you really want to cooperate with the Kuomintang people?" In the courtyard, a plainly dressed subordinate walked beside Li Guoyun with a sad face. "Those guys don't have a good reputation, and they're ...... you Once again, do you still have to believe them this time? I don't think they're going to give you the Governor seat when they get the job done..."

When it came to the position of the governor, the subordinate's face was full of disbelief.

"Yes, sir..."Walking on the other side, Xiao An also spoke. Those guys have already lied to you once, how can you believe it a second time..."

For Xiao An, the Kuomintang is definitely not a trustworthy organization.

After all, they had already 'played' Li Guoyun once, and now they came over to say that they wanted to solve Yan Shao's problem, and said that they would let Li Guoyun sit in the position of governor of Anhui later—————— of course, there are prerequisites, first, Li Guoyun must join the Kuomintang, and secondly, most of the real power positions in the Anhui military government must be arranged for the Kuomintang...

In other words, even if Li Guoyun sits in the position of governor, he is just a puppet, a vase...

However, these are for Li Guoyun. It's enough...

Unlike a year ago, Li Guoyun's mentality has completely changed at this time.

More than a year ago, Li Guoyun had always believed that Yuan Shikai was the only person suitable to rule the country. It was also because of this that he chose to break with Yan Shao, and finally followed Yuan Shikai's orders to cooperate with Bai Wenwei, for which he even abandoned his position as deputy governor of Anhui.

As a result, Bai Wenwei actually failed, and Yuan Shikai also threw him aside because he had no use value.

Naturally, before abandoning him, Yuan Shikai also made a little compensation. For example, he was given a secret place to live in Shanghai. You must know that Shanghai is a place where every inch of land is valuable, especially in the concession, so his move is more or less humane.

In the beginning. Li Guojun also thinks so.

But after 'staying' in the residence for more than half a year, Li Guoyun's idea has completely changed, and now although he seems to have taken everything lightly on the surface. But the bottom of my heart is already full of resentment. And he has been seeking relief.

Even if the Kuomintang people don't come to him, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will be tired of this life and seek a way to extricate himself. Now that the Kuomintang people have found him, I am afraid that they will fall into his hands.

Now he doesn't plan to work for Yuan Shikai anymore, he just wants to get out of this kind of life now, and he is willing to die for this. So although he was only a puppet in the end according to the Kuomintang's promises, he was still willing to cooperate with the Kuomintang.

And...

He was also very curious, what method did the Kuomintang people plan to use to solve Yan Shao's problem?

"Assassination?" Reminds me of the Kuomintang's best means. Li Guoyun said secretly in his heart.

At least in Li Guoyun's view, this is probably the most likely means of success.

But there is a premise. That's the one who has to hide it from the Special Agent.

As the former deputy governor of the military government, no one knows better than him the horror of the Special Affairs Bureau, and he has not dared to rent out the world for so long, and he has not even dared to leave this residence, which is entirely because of the existence of the Special Affairs Bureau.

But then again, after all, it is impossible for the Special Affairs Bureau to know everything, and if you want to succeed in assassinating Yan Shao, you must bet on this...

At this time, Li Guoyun did not know that there was actually the support of the Japanese in this matter, otherwise if the Kuomintang itself was alone, the success rate would be really low.

In fact, as the third major force in the country, the Kuomintang has not done nothing in the past.

Ever since its friendship with Anhui, the Kuomintang has been trying to infiltrate from within the Kuomintang. The problem is that as a loser, it is usually looked down upon by the winner, so that the number of people willing to join the Kuomintang will become much smaller, and if you want to buy someone to give the Kuomintang information, you must know that the poverty of the Kuomintang is famous throughout the country—————— but it is willing to spend money, and in order to let the Eighth Division revolt during the Second Revolution, it soon spent 20,000 yuan to buy the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Division to let them kill the division commander and brigade commander of the Eighth Division?

People are greedy for money, and if the Kuomintang can really come up with a lot of money, maybe there will really be people who are willing to join the Kuomintang and do things for the Kuomintang.

It is a pity that after the loss of Shanghai, the Kuomintang was much worse financially than in history, and Anhui was one of the richest provinces in the country, so neither government officials nor military officers needed to worry about money, and when the Kuomintang could not come up with a lot of money, there were far fewer people willing to work for the Kuomintang.

However, the predecessor of the Kuomintang, the League Association, was, after all, a very well-known organization, so some people in Anhui eventually joined the Kuomintang under the demagogy. It's just that after most of these people were arrested by the Special Affairs Bureau, there are not many left, and they are basically ordinary members with very low positions...

In other words, in the past period, the Kuomintang basically did not have much success in Anhui...

————————————————————

Time into March, although it is said that it is the south or the north, but Anhui is nominally a southern province after all, so after entering March, the temperature has become much warmer, at least much stronger than the north, especially the northeast—————— in the northeast, even if it is March, it is possible to snow, however, it is usually the last snow, and it generally begins to warm around mid-March.

The weather is getting warmer, and there are a lot more pedestrians on the streets.

On the other hand. As the city government invested a lot of money to renovate the city, it also turned the whole city into a big construction site.

According to the plan of the municipal government, the original Anqing City will be divided into two cities, the old and the new.

The old city. Naturally, it was Anqing Castle, which was originally surrounded by the city walls, and the new city was a new city that was gradually being built around the Governor's Office and other government departments.

With the construction of a large number of factories in Anqing, more and more people poured into the city from the surrounding areas to work, and in this case, the city of Anqing, which was originally surrounded by the city wall, has gradually become crowded, and everything is as Yan Shao originally expected.

So in the time of the year ago. Yan Shao approved the application of the city government and began to build a large number of residential buildings on vacant land near the Governor's Mansion and other government departments. And very careful planning was carried out—————— in fact, in the meantime, many people have already started to build houses, after all, most of the entire department is here, so many government officials have also built houses nearby. It's also easier to commute to work. And because it's outside the city, the land price is cheap.

But if this continues, I am afraid that the layout of this new city will become as cluttered as the old city, which is why Yan Shaohui agreed to the application of the city government.

Nowadays, a large number of planned houses are being built, and in the future, ordinary people who flock to the city and want to find work in the city's factories can buy cheap houses to live here.

After that, when the number of people in the new city gradually increased. It is possible to gradually link the new city with the old city, plus the industrial area in the other direction of the city. The three will form a large city, one that is definitely not inferior to such large cities as Nanjing and Shanghai...

At the same time, it will also be the industrial center of South China...... One...

"But I've heard about it for a long time, but it's a very prosperous city..."

Outside the dock of Anqing City, a small boat slowly sailed into the dock, and after docking, a group of several people walked down from the dock, one of the young people said with some admiration after looking at the situation in the city, and at the same time compared with several cities he had seen.

And on the dock, the person who came to greet them also smiled slightly when he heard his words. "Yes, at least everyone who comes to the city for the first time is the same as you say..."At this point, the man looked around for a moment's notice before speaking. Besides, I'm the one who came to greet you, my name, for the sake of safety, I won't mention it for the time being, and then you just have to follow me..."

As he spoke, the man stretched out his right hand, but the purpose of his right hand was not to shake hands with these people, but to turn his palm up, so that they could look at his palm.

On the palm of this person's hand, a very complex pattern appeared on it.

After seeing this complex pattern, a few people who had just come off the boat nodded.

This time they traveled from Tokyo to Shanghai, and then from Shanghai to Anqing by boat, in order to carry out the plan. Of course, in order to achieve the plan, there will inevitably be people in Anqing who will receive them.

It's just that now whether it is Chen Qimei or others, one thing is very clear, that is, in the Kuomintang, there have been many people who have been bought by the Special Affairs Bureau, although they have tried their best to keep secrets, but no one knows whether there will be people who have been bribed by the Special Affairs Bureau among their companions who have been confirmed to be 'trusted'...

If you stipulate some codes, you may get your hands on them...

And after that...

The people sent there were all wiped out...

Naturally, if it is only a complex pattern in the palm of the hand, it is also possible that it will be obtained by the other party.

But although it seems that they are through this pattern, in fact this is a double code, if it is only the pattern on the Zhilu Dao, then there is no doubt that the people who come to greet them are definitely the people who want their lives, only the people who know the other code of the Dao are the people who really greet them, and the other set of codes...

In order to ensure the safety of this aspect, the first group of codes was transmitted by the Kuomintang, while the second group of codes was transmitted by the Black Dragon Society...

So after seeing the pattern on the palm of the other party's hand, as well as some other things in the pattern, several people who got off the boat immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it was the first time to come to Anhui, and it was still necessary to do such a big thing. To be honest, they were really afraid that as soon as they got on the ship, they would be solved by the people of the Special Affairs Bureau.

In the past six months, the Special Affairs Bureau has also gained a lot of fame among these forces in China. Beginning with the first battle of Cihuhe, the commander of several main divisions was overturned, in a series of actions in the past. The Special Affairs Bureau had solved many opponents for Yan Shao, the Kuomintang, Beiyang, the Black Dragon Society, and many powerful forces, and their efforts to infiltrate the Anhui Military Government were almost all disintegrated by the Special Affairs Bureau, even if there were a few sporadic fish that slipped through the net. It's also not about the big picture...

It's just that no matter how powerful they are, they are not omniscient and all-powerful gods after all, and it is impossible for them to know all things—————— not to mention that there is nothing omniscient and omnipotent. Including God...

————————————————————

The people who came to greet these people this time were all from the Black Dragon Society.

In the past, most of the Kuomintang's efforts in Anhui had been undermined by the Special Affairs Bureau's efforts in Anhui with the assistance of informants developed by the Special Affairs Bureau within the Kuomintang. It can be said that the results are somewhat. But infinity is close to zero.

In contrast, although the efforts of the Black Dragon Society in Anhui have also been destroyed, it is impossible for the Special Affairs Bureau to infiltrate the Black Dragon Society after all, let alone penetrate to the point of a high enough level, so after such a long time of hard work in Anhui, the Black Dragon Society still has a certain amount of potential...

This time, they came to take the Kuomintang people to a secret stronghold of the Black Dragon Society in Anqing.

On the surface, this stronghold was the office of a businessman in Shanghai in Anqing. There are hundreds of such offices in Anqing, which are usually used to negotiate business with Yushi Group. It's impossible for the Special Affairs Bureau to investigate every one, so it's one of the fish that slipped through the net, and if you are here, you can definitely guarantee safety...

But...

In order to avoid the failure of the matter, the Black Dragon Society will also be exposed, so before the operation, the Black Dragon Society has already transferred this place to the Kuomintang, so that even if the matter is revealed in the future, it will not be implicated in the Black Dragon Society...

After paying the boat fare, the men got into the car with the people who had come to greet them, and then drove towards the Black Dragon Society's stronghold in Anqing.

On the way to the stronghold, the Black Dragon Society man was still explaining to them.

"During this period of time, the changes in Anhui can only be described by changing with each passing day, almost every month there will be a street that has been completely renovated, so the city map in our hands now can only play a certain role, no way, the speed of renovation is too fast, even if there is the latest map in hand, there will be changes after a month..."

"So this time, you'd better take this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the layout of the city, so that it will be easier for us to move..."

As he said this, the person who came to greet them also had a complicated expression on his face.

After lurking in Anhui for such a long time, he can be said to be 100% in favor of this high-level decision, and it is precisely because he has been in Anhui for a long time that he understands how much of a threat the development here poses to the Black Dragon Society and Japan...

Because during his time in Anhui, he has already seen the changes here...

"If this place is allowed to develop like this, this place will definitely become a big threat to the empire, fortunately, the top management has already made a decision, otherwise the future is really hard to say..."Thinking of this, the man looked at the few people in the back seat through the rearview mirror. Next, just watch these Chinese kill each other ...

According to the high-level decision, in order to avoid exposing that the Black Dragon Society was also involved in this incident, so after the plan began, he would leave Anhui as soon as possible, and a considerable number of people lurking in Anhui would leave with him, in order to avoid being searched by the Special Affairs Bureau and causing losses after the success or failure of the operation.

But having said that, after all, some people still have to be left behind, after all, if Yan Shao dies, someone will always have to personally inquire about the news inside.

While the man was thinking from the driver's seat, the people in the back seat were also looking at the scenery on both sides of the car with curious eyes. For them, the scenery in front of them has only been seen in Japan, and although Shanghai is far more prosperous than here, it is far worse in terms of cleanliness and order.

The people sitting in the back row are almost all core members of the Kuomintang, and they can also be called dead soldiers, after all, this time they volunteered to participate in this mission, it is difficult to say that they are not dead soldiers, and because of this, although they saw the different scenery of Anqing from other places, their hearts did not waver at all.

About ten minutes later, the car came to an office in the Anhui business district.

On the door of this office hangs a sign of a cotton textile factory in Shanghai.

With the continuous expansion of the cotton planting area in the Jianghuai Plain, the high-quality cotton in the planting area has begun to be sold to the outside world, which also includes most of the cotton textile factories in Shanghai and Jiangsu, so it is natural for such a cotton textile factory to have an office in Anqing.

And when they walked into the office, those dead soldiers thought that they had walked into the secret stronghold of the Kuomintang in Anqing—————— dead soldiers, to put it bluntly, they were high-level cannon fodder, they only needed to know the tasks performed by Lu Dao, and they didn't need to know Lu Dao for superfluous things...

So they didn't know at all that this operation was a collaboration between the Kuomintang and the Black Dragon Society, and they only thought that they were carrying out the mission of the Kuomintang...

After entering the office, even though the person in charge of picking them up had already helped them find a place to live, the leader still asked.

"So, how do we kill that Yan Shao?"

"Yes, since you are the governor of Anhui, you must always have many people around you to protect you..."Nodding, another person spoke.

Seeing their anxious looks, the people of the Black Dragon Society smiled helplessly. "You're really anxious, forget it, come with me...", he waved at them.

And after seeing his appearance, several other people looked at each other and followed.

Soon, they walked into a remote room... (To be continued......)
