Chapter 179: The Wind Rises

The conditions Lu Yuan made on the phone were indeed very tempting, but Xu Huanshan was just a transitional leader temporarily in charge of the underground party in Shanghai, and he couldn't and didn't dare to agree to Lu Yuan immediately. "I can't reply to what you said yet, but I will report it to my superiors immediately, and I will definitely give you an answer within three days." Xu Huanshan did not just say it to death, but first set a three-day deadline.

Lu Yuan also pondered for a while before replying, "Old Xu, I don't want to remind you of anything, you are not the only one in the war zone who can provide me with intelligence, I hope your underground party can seize this opportunity." Lu Yuan's words were not very clear, but Xu Huanshan had already heard what Lu Yuan meant, he knew that Lu Yuan was alluding to the military commander, if the underground party gave up cooperating with Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan might go to the military commander to cooperate.

Although the military command, like the underground party, was frantically arrested and encircled and suppressed by the special high school in Shanghai, with the assistance of the Shanghai gangsters, the actual losses of the military command were not as great as those of the underground party. Xu Huanshan never doubted Lu Yuan's skills, and Lu Yuan had already confirmed his ability from what happened in the past two days, if Lu Yuan cooperated with the military commanders, Xu Huanshan didn't know if the underground party would be able to continue to gain a foothold in Shanghai.

"Don't talk about those who don't have it, I told you that three days is three days, and there is chaos outside the left and right, so it's better for you to rest for three or two days." Xu Huanshan suddenly changed his tone, and tactfully persuaded Lu Yuanlai on the phone. And Lu Yuan just laughed secretly in his heart, saying that Xu Huanshan also had soft words, but even so, Lu Yuan's tone did not change at all, and the aggressiveness in his words made Xu Huanshan on the other end of the phone a headache.

Lu Yuan had already admitted to Xu Huanshan on the phone that he would leave Shanghai in the near future and seek help from the underground party, Xu Huanshan naturally did not dare to slack off, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately sent the news through his own backup channel. Three hours later, Xu Huanshan waited for the envoy sent by his superiors in the place where he was recuperating from his injuries, "What kind of person is this Lu Yuan?" Have you ever identified him? How sure are you of what he told you? ”

The envoy's continuous questioning made Xu Huanshan a little confused, but after a while, Xu Huanshan reacted. "According to the information we have so far, this Lu Yuan should be a returned overseas Chinese, not only did he have a contact battle with the Japanese army when the Songhu Convention and Exhibition broke out. Moreover, during the Battle of Nanjing, Lu Yuan once used the help of the Germans to establish an international security zone in the city of Nanjing, and more than 200,000 refugees were rescued by him. ”

"Germans? So what exactly is his relationship with the Germans? Have you verified this? The envoy sent by the superior asked Xu Huanshan again. The special envoy asked about the relationship between Lu Yuan and the Germans, but Xu Huanshan couldn't answer, because Xu Huanshan didn't know much about Lu Yuan's affairs in Nanjing, especially the relationship between Lu Yuan and Germany, Xu Huanshan had only heard Lu Yuan say a few words himself.

"Lu Yuan is not one of ours, so we don't know much about the relationship between him and the Germans. However, Lu Yuan went to Germany once in February, and stayed in Germany for more than two months before returning to Shanghai, and he was always accompanied by two Germans. Xu Huanshan's answer made the envoy frown secretly, through the information that Xu Huanshan had, the top level of the underground party had great hopes for Lu Yuan, but they were worried that Lu Yuan had a secret relationship with the Germans.

Seeing that the envoy sent by his superiors was in deep thought, Xu Huanshan immediately said hurriedly, "Lu Yuan is very good at fighting, and what happened in Shanghai in the past two days was done by him. We have preliminarily determined that the Japanese army in Shanghai and the special high school suffered at least more than 300 casualties in these two days. Lu Yuan is seeking cooperation with us at this time, and I personally think that we should agree to him, after all, we are not at a loss. Xu Huanshan's words made the envoy nod secretly, but this decision still had to be made by the high-level, and he, like Xu Huanshan, was actually just a messenger.

The news was soon sent by the radio to a farther place, and while Xu Huanshan was anxiously waiting for the results, the Japanese army's Shanghai Special High School was also investigating the matter, and the top officials of the Shanghai Special High School, who had suffered serious losses, thought that there were traitors within them, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence of continuous casualties. The Shanghai Special High School didn't know that Lu Yuan had a full-view map, a big killer, and they didn't think that the continuous ambushes of their Japanese puppet spy teams were accidental, so they decided to investigate from the inside first.

"Baga, what I want is to find out the mole, not to investigate these trivial things." Sato also picked up the stack of reports on the table and smashed them hard at the subordinates standing in front of him, and at this moment, the several action captains standing in front of Sato also didn't dare to dodge, so they could only let those documents fall on themselves. They all know Yaichi Sato's temper, and if they dodge now, it is likely to attract more severe anger and reprimands from Yaichi Sato.

Sure enough, after Sato, who was furious, threw away the stack of reports on the table, the anger on his face was obviously much less, but it was not difficult to hear from his tone that Sato was still angry. "The internal investigation cannot be relaxed, the focus is on the group of people from Nanjing and Manchuria, and at the same time contact Zhang Xiaolin and the Concession Patrol House, now is the time to use them. Tell them that if you take the money from the Japanese Empire, you must serve the Japanese Empire wholeheartedly, and I want to know the identity and address of the attackers. ”

Zhang Xiaolin had already taken refuge in the Japanese, and naturally he would not refuse the request of the special high class, so he immediately mobilized his disciples to help the special high class find clues. Under the coordination and instruction of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the Concession, the Concession Patrol House did not dare to make a hard stand with the growing Japanese, and also promised to help the Special High School to find clues in the concession. Sato, who was the interim head of the Shanghai Special High School, went to Hansen's bar alone at this time, and he wanted to learn about the sale of large quantities of weapons and ammunition in the black market through Hansen.

On the surface, Hansen was a bar owner and a black marketeer, but in fact he was an intelligence agent sent to China by the German intelligence services, and he had already registered with the Shanghai Special High School. The arrival of Sato Yonichi did not surprise Hansen, in fact, when Lu Yuan personally admitted that he attacked the Japanese army, Hansen had already foreseen the coming of this moment, but he did not expect that it would be Sato Yaichi himself who would come to his own departure.

"No, as far as I know, there has not been such a large number of arms deals on the black market in Shanghai since March. Moreover, the American Thomson light machine gun you mentioned is not in stock in Shanghai at all, and most of the Thomson in the black market are Shanxi imitations, and the caliber of the bullets is completely different from the authentic American goods. Hansen answered Sato Yeichi's inquiry without concealment, in fact, he was also secretly investigating where Lu Yuan got those weapons and ammunition.

Sato was a little disappointed that he didn't get the information he wanted here, but he didn't suspect that Hansen would be related to the attacker he was investigating, after all, Hansen was a member of German intelligence. As soon as Sato left, Hansen immediately called Lu Yuan, although the two did not say it explicitly on the phone, but Hansen clearly told Lu Yuan on the phone in code words that the special high school may have been eyeing the bar.

Lu Yuan was not worried about this, according to his understanding of Han Sen, that stubborn old man would never betray himself. It's just that the special high school class will actually go to find Hansen, which Lu Yuan didn't expect, whether the other party is unintentional or deliberately tempted, Lu Yuan decided to give another big gift to the special high class. Left and right had to wait for Xu Huanshan's reply, and after Lu Yuan, who was idle, got the relevant information of Sato Yeichi from Hansen, he scrambled to formulate an assassination plan.

Assassination is not what Lu Yuan is good at, but Lu Yuan, who is a master of art, does not take assassination seriously, after all, he still has a heavy sniper rifle, which is a big killer, so it's a big deal to shoot farther away when the time comes. Lu Yuan decided to assassinate the temporary head of the Shanghai Special High School, and he did not tell Xu Huanshan about it, nor did he tell Schuhman and Hogg, because in his opinion, it was just a small thing that could not be small.

Lu Yuan spent the whole afternoon in the basement preparing for the assassination operation, this time Lu Yuan had to carry not only a heavy sniper rifle and his usual assault rifle, but also two 150-caliber field howitzer shells stolen from the docks. Lu Yuan decided to bring two howitzer shells just to be prepared, and if the operation went well, he was going to send the two howitzer shells to the Japanese military police headquarters in Shanghai or the headquarters of the special high school.

Lu Yuan's only pity was that he didn't make a radio detonating device when he went to Germany this time, so he had to use a stupid method to install a timed detonation device with the same principle as a time bomb but more elaborate on the modified howitzer shell. As long as Lu Yuan sets a timer before sending out the shell, as soon as the time is reached, the timing device will first detonate the explosives connected to it, and then detonate the shell to achieve the effect and purpose that Lu Yuan wants.

Early the next morning, after Lu Yuan told Fu Bo to pay attention to the phone, he drove out of the residence alone. After walking around the street aimlessly for a few times to make sure that no one was following him, Lu Yuan drove to the meeting place agreed with Hansen. "Did you really decide to do this?" Han Sen asked Lu Yuan in a deep voice, if it weren't for Lu Yuan's insistence, Han Sen would never agree to assist Lu Yuan in assassinating Sato Yaichi.
