Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and understood why Dai Chunfeng was stranded in Shanghai.
According to what Yu Ping'an said before, the Qingpu class will start in the near future. Dai Chunfeng attaches great importance to the Qingpu class and will definitely attend the opening ceremony in person.
On the day, Prime Minister Konoe, Prime Minister Sugiyama, Prime Minister Mineai and Foreign Minister Hirota held a four-phase meeting.
This meeting was held on the main island of Japan, and Cheng Qianfan had not received any news about it before.
The Secret Service actually detected this confidential meeting. Cheng Qianfan speculated that the Secret Service must have another intelligence line within Japan, and the confidentiality level is extremely high.
Cheng Qianfan thought about it secretly and decided that he had not visited Imamura Hyotarō for some time.
If you want to find out about this four-phase meeting, you still have to find a way from Imamura Hyōtaro.
Cheng Qianfan had heard a little bit about Masao Nishida. He was an important spy leader in North China, Japan. He studied under Kenji Doihara and was an important assistant to him.
This reminded Cheng Qianfan of Kawada Nagakichi.
When Kawada Eikichi was defeated in Hangzhou, it caused quite a stir within the Japanese secret service. It is said that Kenji Doihara was very angry and even turned his anger on the Japanese Consulate in Hangzhou. The military attaché of the consulate, Toshihiko Okada, was punished for this. .
If Okada Toshihiko hadn't insisted that the biggest cause of Kawada Nagakichi's accident was Wen Changjian's betrayal of the empire, Okada Toshihiko might even have been sent back to the country to work in the reserves.
There is another thing. Dai Chunfeng ordered him to find out the news about Minami Zojiro. He has been secretly searching for a while, but he has not found any clues about this person.
Cheng Qianfan rubbed his temples.
The affairs were complicated and he felt tremendous pressure.
He thought carefully, and one of the reasons for the lack of information was that Kentaro Miyazaki's identity, under his deliberate creation, was more characterized by greed for money, and he was not active in professional affairs as an agent.
This is a good protection for him.
However, this also limited his ability to penetrate deeper into the Japanese secret service and collect intelligence.
Everything has pros and cons.
Cheng Qianfan has no intention of changing his image within Japan, which is extremely dangerous. Once he suddenly shows interest in spy work, although it may not necessarily be exposed, this in itself is quite an abnormal behavior.
The first and most important thing for a good agent is to protect yourself, and on this basis, collect intelligence through various channels without leaving any trace.
As long as you are alive, you can continue to do many things.
…
It had just been sunny for a day in Shanghai, and it rained again.
Thin and dense raindrops fell to the ground. Cheng Qianfan held a black umbrella in the wind and rain and arrived at Hyōtaro Imamura's residence.
"Miyazaki-kun is here." Imamura Kogoro smiled and nodded, and greeted Cheng Qianfan to come in.
Every time Kentaro Miyazaki comes to visit, Hyōtaro Imamura is in a good mood, which makes Kogoro Imamura have a good impression of this young man.
"Sir, Mr. Miyazaki is waiting for a guest. Please wait for a moment." Imamura Kogoro arranged for tea to be served and said.
“It’s Miyazaki who came here and disturbed me.”
At this moment, Hyōtaro Imamura came down from upstairs accompanied by a short and fat man about fifty years old.
The short, fat man looked at him with a gloomy look, nodded slightly, took the top hat handed over by the maid, and held it in his hand.
"Imamura-kun, please stay." The short, fat man put on his hat and went out.
…
Second floor, study.
Hyoutaro Imamura is practicing calligraphy.
Cheng Qianfan stood aside respectfully, "The empire is prosperous, good calligraphy, Mr.'s calligraphy, the strokes are powerful, the movement is like running water, and the strokes are like clouds of smoke."
“Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and it’s these Chinese characters. The beauty of Chinese characters lies in the character and character, which makes people want to stop.” Imamura Hyōtaro put down his brush and sighed.
"Although Chinese characters are beautiful, they are too square. Just like the Chinese, they trap themselves in a box and do not want to make progress." Cheng Qianfan pondered for a moment and said, "Such a vast place with abundant resources is really wasted in the hands of the Chinese. , and only we, the Empire of Japan, deserve to enjoy this fertile land."
Hyoutaro Imamura glanced at Cheng Qianfan. He thought that the son would follow his words and compliment him, but he didn't expect that he would use such words.
However, he was not angry. After thinking about Kentaro Miyazaki's words, he liked it quite a bit.
"Miyazaki-kun, you said it well." Hyōtaro Imamura nodded approvingly, "Conquering China and making this ancient and decadent country bathe in the glory of the empire is a blessing for the Chinese people, and it is also a gift given by the times to our imperial sons. the people’s responsibilities.”
“Miyazaki, please remember Mr.’s teachings.” Cheng Qianfan said seriously.
…
"This is a report that I wrote and submitted to the third class." Cheng Qianfan took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase and handed it to Imamura Hyoutaro with both hands. "The content is about the list and analysis of important personnel from all parties in the French Concession. Report."
Hyoutaro Imamura took it, put it on his desk, and read it carefully.
“Miyazaki-kun is very attentive,” Imamura Hyōtaro praised after reading it.
"This is a matter within Miyazaki's responsibility." Cheng Qianfan said, "I have written two copies of this report by hand, and one is ready to be submitted to the three section chiefs tomorrow."
Hyoutaro Imamura nodded slightly. Kentaro Miyazaki first showed him the report document and then presented it to Sanbonjiro. This order made him quite happy.
“Among these people, who do you think has the most friendly attitude towards the empire and can cooperate?” Imamura Hyoutarou asked.
"Cheng Haitao." Cheng Qianfan blurted out, "This person is extremely greedy and ruthless. The most important thing is that this person is the former son-in-law of Huang Jingrong, the leader of the Qing Gang. He is also quite powerful in the gang. If we can recruit this person to serve the empire, The Empire now has an excellent spokesperson for the underground forces in the French Concession and even the entire Shanghai Bund."
“Can you recruit Huang Jingrong through this person?” Imamura Hyoutaro asked.
"You can give it a try." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and nodded, "However, people like Huang Jingrong have a big family and a lot of worries, so I'm afraid they won't express their opinions easily."
“You should have more contact with Cheng Haitao.” Hyoutaro Imamura said, “We must try to win him over to our side.”
Cheng Qianfan noticed that Imamura Hyoutaro said ‘us’, not ‘the empire’.
He showed signs of surprise and thoughtfulness at the right time.
"Do you know why Sanbonjiro asked you to provide this list?" Imamura Hyōtaro noticed the change in Cheng Qianfan's expression and thought about it for a while. Imamura Hyōtaro asked.
"What do you mean, your Excellency, the three section chiefs are also preparing to contact and win over these people?" Cheng Qianfan said, he paused and nodded, "That should be the case, these people are all very powerful people in the French Concession. Senior, if we can recruit these people, it will be of great help to the empire to control the French Concession and eliminate the anti-Japanese forces hidden in the French Concession."
"That's right." Hyōtaro Imamura said with a solemn expression, "However, one thing you don't know is that the person who really wants this list is not Sanbon-kun, but someone else."
