Chapter 165 A worthy death
Seeing that everyone had left the office, Adjutant Hyōtaro Imamura approached Eiichi Iwai and asked softly, "I would like to ask your Excellency, what is going on?"
Eiichi Iwai suddenly sent a letter inviting many of the empire's intelligence agencies in Shanghai to hold a meeting. As Imamura's adjutant and close assistant, Hyōtaro Imamura knew nothing about this, which made him a little disappointed and uneasy.
Hide Iwai said with a sinking look, "Imamura-kun, do you know that Zhou Huaigu received four visits in one day. He was frightened and called me, asking how many intelligence agencies there were in the empire and what he should do. "
“Is this happening?” Imamura Hyoutaro asked in shock.
Iwai Eiichi shook his head, feeling ashamed to speak.
This Japan-China Friendship Seminar was initiated by the Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai. To be precise, it was promoted by Deputy Consul General Hide Iwai.
Eiichi Iwai is eager to perform more in promoting Japan's invasion of China and strive for greater merit and promotion for himself.
He is the master, and Zhou Huaigu is a good dog.
Now, within one day, this good dog was being questioned, threatened, and demanded by people including the Intelligence Agency of the Imperial Army General Staff Headquarters in Shanghai, the Intelligence Office of the Imperial Navy Attaché Shanghai, the Intelligence Office of the Imperial Marine Corps, and even the Manchurian Railway Investigation Section. Listen to them and work with them.
Zhou Huaigu was extremely frightened. He did not dare to offend anyone, so he had to send a telegram asking: How many masters do I have? Which master should you listen to?
This made Eiichi Iwai feel embarrassed and had a headache at the same time.
Hyoutaro Imamura understood that this meeting was actually Iwai Eiichi inviting representatives from several intelligence agencies to come and inform everyone:
This matter is being handled by the Special Higher Education Section of the Police Department of the Consulate General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai. Please give me some face and don't mess with it.
This is a formal ‘notification’ to the other party.
Why do we need to go to such trouble?
“Sir, is this too formal?”
Iwai Eiichi shook his head. He knew these guys too well. He didn't bother so much. He just made a phone call to warn them, and these guys wouldn't pay attention at all.
…
There are too many intelligence agencies in the empire, and they are not subordinate to each other. They compete with each other for resources and credit, and they even stumble privately.
An incident once happened in "Kandong Prefecture". The Special High School Section was arresting anti-Manchu anti-Japanese elements. Seeing that this person had already fled, the Manchu Railway Investigation Section suddenly intervened. A burst of gunshots rang out, and the Special High School Section was arrested. One person was killed and three others were injured, but the red man actually took the opportunity to escape.
Afterwards, the Manchurian Railway Investigation Section stated that accidental injuries occurred due to poor visibility late at night.
However, the situation Iwai Eiichi knew seemed to be closer to the truth: the red party member had been tracked by the Manchuria Railway Investigation Section for a long time, and the Special Higher Education Section suddenly intervened. This was regarded by Manchuria Railway as an unacceptable behavior to grab credit, and they would rather have this red party member. The party escaped and did not want to see him being arrested by the Special High School to take credit.
“Imamura-kun, we need to speed up the pace and establish our own intelligence agency.” Iwai Eiichi said to Imamura Hyoutarou with a solemn expression.
"Kage Sa-kun..." Imamura Hyoutarou asked softly.
“Kagezuo is a self-righteous guy. He is not from the same group as us.” Eiichi Iwai shook his head.
Although Kage Sasaki's Police Department Super High School Division also belongs to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Eiichi Iwai's control over the Super High School Division is not strong.
The most important thing is that Eiichi Kagesa is actually from the Army Staff Headquarters system, not from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The two sides are seemingly inseparable.
“Imamura-kun, I mean, the intelligence agency that belongs to me, Iwai Eiichi.” Iwai Eiichi stared into Imamura Hyoutarou’s eyes, “Imamura-kun, can I trust you?”
“Imamura Hyoutaro is willing to die for Your Majesty.” Imamura Hyoutaro bowed and said.
Looking at the respectful attitude of Hyōtaro Imamura, Iwai Eiichi nodded with satisfaction. Hyōtaro Imamura was his junior alumnus at Toa Doubun Academy, and he was a confidant he always valued and cultivated.
In addition, Hyōtaro Imamura was the nephew of General Jun Imamura, the deputy chief of staff of the Imperial Kwantung Army and the imperial military attache in Manchuria. This relationship was also valued by Eiichi Iwai.
…
"In the eyes of the Japanese, China is a big, fat piece of fat. All parties are ready to take a bite, thinking that they can advance into the world." Song Fuguo said in a deep voice, and handed a message to Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan looked at:
The Japanese invaders increased their troops on a large scale in North China. By the time the power was generated, more than 20,000 troops had been added outside Tianjin alone. All parties should remain highly vigilant and guard against the possibility of sudden and violent incidents in North China.
“Section Chief, do you suspect that Zhou Huaigu’s trip to Shanghai is related to the actions of the Japanese army in Tianjin?” Cheng Qianfan asked Song Fuguo.
"This is what I'm worried about." Song Fuguo nodded. Zhou Huaigu still has some influence in North China, especially in Tianjin. If this person is waving the flag in Shanghai and campaigning for the Japanese army to occupy Tianjin, it is quite embarrassing. Troublesome, bad influence, and most importantly, extremely disgusting.
After becoming the chief of the Intelligence Section of the Shanghai District of the Secret Service, Song Fuguo carefully studied the opponents of the Secret Service in Shanghai, and Eiichi Iwai and Sadaaki Kage came into his sight.
Previously, the Secret Service was most concerned about the person in charge of the Special Higher Education Section of the Shanghai Consulate General Police Department: Noraaki Kage. However, Song Fuguo keenly sensed and judged that Iwai Eiichi, the deputy consul general of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, was by no means a lonely person.
This "China-Japan Friendship Seminar", according to the information investigated by the Intelligence Division, there is a figure of Eiichi Iwai behind it.
However, what confused Song Fuguo was—
"One thing has always confused me." Song Fuguo said to Cheng Qianfan, "Zhou Huaigu seems to have shadows from various Japanese intelligence agencies, including the Japanese Army's intelligence agency, the Manchurian Railway Investigation Section, and even the Japanese Navy's intelligence agencies. The shadow of the agency.”
Cheng Qianfan was also surprised when he heard this, "Is it possible that we have always underestimated Zhou Huaigu? This old guy has such ability to hook up with many intelligence agencies in recent days?"
Song Fuguo frowned, "This old guy doesn't look like someone with such ability."
Suddenly, he himself was not sure, "Could this old guy have been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?"
If this is the case, then—
This Zhou Huaigu will be more harmful than previously thought.
Song Fuguo and Cheng Qianfan looked at each other and both nodded:
Although this means that Zhou Huaigu is more difficult to deal with, this cunning old thing must be eliminated even more.
Get rid of this old dog at all costs!
…
When leaving, Cheng Qianfan offered three kilograms of bar cakes purchased from Shen Dacheng pastry shop.
“I never like sweets.” Song Fuguo said with a smile, “Next time Qianfan can bring a bottle of wine.”
"Brother Tao is so heroic that the whole world is saddened. Qianfan learned the sad news about Brother Tao in Hangzhou and was filled with grief, anger and admiration." Cheng Qianfan raised the cake high above his head, "Brother Tao's daughter is Qianfan's niece. My niece loves to eat. Qianfan Bought... The current situation is turbulent, but I hope my wife and niece are safe, and Cheng Qianfan will never say anything if he is driven by me in the future."
Song Fuguo stood up suddenly, with tears in his eyes, and took the cake with both hands, "Okay! Okay! Okay! Xiao Tao should be very happy to have such a loving and righteous comrade like Qian Fan."
After saying that, Song Fuguo said with emotion to the person behind him, "Wanyi, Shaoyun, it is inconvenient for you two to show up. You are about to leave Shanghai tonight. This time, on behalf of my husband and father, I would like to express my gratitude and say goodbye. Your husband, Father, he sacrificed his life for the country and died a worthy death."
In the inner room, a young woman dressed in plain clothes and with tears in her eyes, and an ignorant girl in mourning clothes, bowed in return.
Outside, Cheng Qianfan bowed solemnly and returned the gift.
"Uncle, is it the pastry that dad asked you to buy for Yun'er? Yun'er doesn't want any pastries. Can she ask her father to come back early?" The little girl in the room couldn't help but ask.
