Lost and Spy

Chapter 1447 Plan No. [-]
Meng Shaoyuan disappeared all night, and no one asked him where he went.

It's useless to ask, he is the highest officer of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai military command, who can ask him about his affairs?

It's just that Chief Meng, who has returned to the headquarters, is so depressed.
Could it be that something unhappy happened to him this night?

"Report."

Qi Xuezhen walked in and reported to Meng Shaoyuan.

Meng Shaoyuan has not been the director of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Supervision Office for a long time, and the military commanders in various places have already received the appointment notice.

Unperturbed.

The situation of the military command in Shanghai is obvious to all.

With the leadership of Director Meng, not only did everyone not have any opinions, but on the contrary, there was some anticipation and excitement.

It wasn't all smooth sailing.

In Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, some rebellions occurred one after another.

Meng Shaoyuan was really helpless.

There are heroes, many.

There are also traitors, and there are many of them.

A batch is always disposed of, and it doesn't take long for another batch to pop up soon.

Can't finish killing, can't stop killing.

"Chongqing secret message." Qi Xuezhen continued: "The 'No. [-] Plan' has started to be implemented. The Japanese have sent people to Shanghai to investigate. I hope the Shanghai side will fully cooperate."

Hearing "Plan No. [-]", Meng Shaoyuan's depressed expression caused by missing Xu Mei disappeared, and he became excited.

Dai Li is a genius spy, and Meng Shaoyuan has really seen it from the "No. [-] Plan".

Just this year, Takeo Imai, who participated in the establishment of Wang Jingwei's puppet government, formulated a "Tong work", but this Tong work was quickly learned by the military.

The so-called Tong work is a plan prepared by Takeo Imai to lure the chairman of the committee in order to solve the Chinese problem.

Takeo Imai was also forced to make this seemingly whimsical plan.

Before he returned to China from Japan, he paid a special visit to Mitsuzui Otani, the abbot of Nishi Honganji Temple in Japan.

This Otani Mitsurui is not an ordinary monk, but has several positions, especially in the Japanese intelligence community, which has a pivotal position and has received strong support from the Japanese military.

In western China, he stole a lot of information as a representative of Buddhist Buddhism in Japan.

Later, he was invited by the father of the country at that time to serve as the diplomatic adviser to the government of the Republic of China.He has been living and working in China ever since.

Back then, he also built a "Worry-Free Garden" in the suburbs of Shanghai. It looked like a quiet garden on the outside, but it was equipped with radio stations and transmitters inside, and was secretly engaged in espionage activities.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Otani Mitsuzui served as the Japanese Cabinet Councilor and Cabinet Advisor. He was a well-known representative of the hawks in the Japanese government.

When meeting Takeo Imai, Otani Mitsuzui said to him in a serious tone:
"If you can't solve the China problem as soon as possible, you won't be allowed to visit the Meiji Shrine in military uniform!"

Otani Mitsuzui's words made Imai Takeo feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, not knowing how to answer.

At this time, Japan is deeply mired in the quagmire of China and cannot get out, and both the government and the opposition are under tremendous pressure.

Seeing that Takeo Imai did not say a word, Mitsuzui Otani continued:

"The key to solving China's problems falls on you and other intelligence personnel!"

Facing a powerful senior like Otani Mitsuzui, Takeo Imai knew that he had no way out.

Thus, the "Tong Work" of Yuhe Chairman was born.

After Dai Li learned all about Tong's work, he immediately formulated a No. [-] plan like a genius.

The core of the "No. [-] Plan" is to send "key personnel" to conduct so-called peace negotiations with the Japanese side, use the negotiations to confuse the Japanese side, and buy time for the national government to prepare for the next decisive battle.

This plan is similar to the "He Pingsheng" sent by Meng Shaoyuan, which delayed the Japanese attack on Changsha.

The most daring and imaginative point of Dai Li is that the name of this "vital official" is:
Song Ziliang!
Song Ziliang, the chairman's brother-in-law!

Song Ziwen's younger brother Song Ziliang!
Here comes the question, is this Song Ziliang Song Meiling's elder brother or younger brother?The Japanese don't get it at all.

There is indeed Song Ziliang, but the problem is that no one knows what Song Ziliang looks like.

I only know that this person lived in Shanghai for a period of time, was very low-key, basically kept away from the outside world, and later went to the United States.

After returning to China, he did not go into politics like his elder brother Song Ziwen, but chose to do business.

With the help of the family's golden brand, he has attached himself to the chairman of many companies.

The remaining?I don't know anything.

On the day of the negotiation, "Song Ziliang" appeared in front of Takeo Imai, about 40 years old, fair-faced, not tall, spoke English very well, held a cigar in his hand, and had a modest attitude.

The venue for the negotiations between the two parties was arranged at the Northeast Matheson in Hong Kong.

The Chinese representatives were Song Ziliang and Zhang Zhiping, and in order to keep the Japanese secret, Imai Takeo adopted the name of "Sato Masa", a member of the Northeast Manchurian Railway.

During the negotiations, Song Ziliang mentioned the possibility of arranging a direct meeting between the Chairman and Seishiro Sakagaki, while Takeo Imai proposed that General Sakagaki, the Chairman and Wang Jingwei must jointly negotiate and participate in the tripartite talks.

In this way, a dispute negotiation between countries started in a way similar to the traditional Chinese gangster peace talks.

However, with the development of the situation, Imai Takeo always felt that something was wrong?
Song Ziliang, as a negotiator, how could he easily tell that Generalissimo Jiang had a meeting with General Sakagaki?
And the two things that happened after that deepened Takeo Imai's suspicion.

This meeting also failed to achieve substantive progress, but the two sides still agreed on related matters for the next formal meeting.

First, the two countries each send three representatives to hold a preparatory meeting in Hong Kong in an individual way. The personnel of both parties must present the letters of appointment of the leaders of each party, and after both parties have confirmed that they are correct, they will agree on a formal meeting.

In the ensuing talks, the Japanese representative presented a certificate of entrustment issued by the Minister of War Hata Shunroku and the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Forces in China Hisao Nishio.

However, the three representatives from the Chinese side did not show their letters of appointment.The next day, the three of them only produced a certificate of entrustment issued by Zhang Qun, Secretary-General of the National Defense Council of the Nationalist Government, instead of a letter of entrustment issued by a high-level military officer.

When the negotiations came to an end, the Chinese representative took out the letter of appointment and the memorandum signed by the chairman, and there were also the seals of the Military Commission and the chairman.

But Song Ziliang on the appointment letter became Song Zijie.

In order to clarify the facts, Takeo Imai secretly investigated Song Ziliang's archives and found that Song Ziliang was only born in 1893 and 1899.

In order to find out the truth, Imai Takeo secretly took a photo of Song Ziliang, brought it back to Nanjing and handed it to acquaintances for identification!
