Chapter 122
"Oh? Where is it?" Zuo Zhong wasn't too surprised. Gu Qi and Song Minghao are both old intelligence agents. It's not a problem to follow a few Japanese reckless men if they do their mental calculations or not.

If the Japanese send professional intelligence personnel, Zuo Zhong still needs to worry about it, but as soon as these people came to Shanghai, they went to the Japanese Navy Special Marine Corps Headquarters, obviously from the army line.

These people may be good at fighting, but intelligence operations are not just actions, they also need the support of intelligence. The other party has abandoned the cooperation with special advanced courses and special work classes, which is very amateurish.

Gucci replied: "Yongshan Commercial Firm not far from Huamao Hotel is a Japanese firm. These people are hiding inside in the name of company employees. It's a bit deceiving."

Zuo Zhong raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"

Gu Qi explained: "The other party has 50 people, very high-profile, yelling in Yongshan Commercial Bank, beating and scolding the original staff at every turn, acting like a soldier."

Zuo nodded emphatically, these people were as amateur as he thought, and 50 people happened to be the size of a Japanese army squad, and they might have been transferred to Shanghai to perform tasks by the establishment.

Combined with the fact that the other party went to the Marine Corps headquarters as soon as he came to Shanghai, and did not contact the special task force of the Army Staff Headquarters, these Japanese soldiers are likely to be members of the Navy.

During the battle in Shanghai two years ago, the main combat force of the Japanese was the Marine Corps. In a sense, Shanghai was the sphere of influence of the Japanese Navy, so it was no wonder that they wanted to get involved.

navy?Interesting, Zuo Zhong smiled: "What are these people doing these days, they won't be nesting in that mouse hole all the time."

Speaking of this, Gu Qi looked strange: "Of course not, these people sent people to the library of the Ministry of Industry in the concession, and our people found out that they inquired about the design drawings of the Huamao Hotel."

The design drawings of Chinachem Hotel?
Zuo Zhong blinked his eyes, it might not be what he thought, Little Japan really thought hijacking a restaurant could be done by one person, it was an extremely complicated technical job.

But thinking about it, I can understand that the other party is now in the same situation as he was in Beijing. To complete the task without angering the big powers, disguising as a robber is a good choice.

But they didn't check how many people Zhu Jiahua brought to Shanghai. Fifty well-trained soldiers faced more than 100 heavily armed spies. It's hard to say who will win, but it's impossible to end the battle quickly.

Not to mention the security force of the Huamao Hotel. After the Liuguo Hotel incident, the British directly sent a platoon of troops to stay here. This is not counting the red-headed ass and the patrol room. The Japanese are really big-hearted .

European and American ghost animals are not fools, how could they not be on guard after suffering a loss, if not for the special identities of Zhu Jiahua and Sektor, even Zuo Zhong and the others would not be able to enter the Huamao Hotel with so many weapons.

Zuo Zhong pondered for a while and decided to go to the scene to see, leaving Gu Qi in charge of the security of the hotel. He took Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang to a building not far from Yongshan Commercial Bank. The spies rented a room on the top floor for surveillance.

This is the advantage of the concession. As long as you pay enough money, the British will not care what you do, but the intelligence department is still very strict, and the surveillance personnel come in and out as decoration workers, and even do some real work on smashing walls.

When Zuo Zhong and the others came, a few small spies were working hard. They didn't look like they were newbies. They were doing technical work well. Zuo Zhong kindly patted them on the shoulder.

Song Minghao stepped forward to report the latest situation: "Section Chief, a truck drove into Yongshan Commercial Bank just now, and the other party lifted out a lot of boxes from the truck, which looked very heavy."

Zuo Zhong was a little dissatisfied: "What type of truck, how many boxes were brought down, and what did the boxes look like? Old Song, how many times have I said that intelligence collection must be meticulous."

Song Ming Haoguang wanted to claim credit, but he blushed when he heard what Zuo Zhong said, and quickly added: "It was a Minsheng 2.5-ton truck, and it lifted eleven boxes, all of which were wooden ammunition boxes."

Zuo Chong walked to the window without saying a word. The huge signboard of Yongshan Trading Company was very conspicuous. He picked up the binoculars on the table next to him and looked at it. The entrance of Yongshan was full of delivery vehicles. It seemed that the business was good.

Zuo Zhong looked at it and asked, "What is Yongshan's main business and what is its strength?"

Song Minghao replied: "Silk, medicine, and food are well-known in the Japanese business circle in Shanghai."

Zuo Zhong changed the direction to observe, and found that there was a large iron gate on the side of Yongshan Commercial Bank. After entering, there was a yard that occupied a large area. There was no one in the yard, except for a black old truck.

The truck license plate is a civilian number issued by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. It looks nothing special, but it is actually a lice on the bald man's head-obviously, no one except the Japanese can get this kind of Northeast truck.

In addition, there are many rooms in the yard, and the curtains are drawn, so you can't see clearly inside. Zuo Zhong cursed secretly and put down the binoculars, but suddenly he saw something on the roof of the warehouse.

Zuo Zhong raised the binoculars again to observe with magnification. There was a long strip of unidentified object on the gray tile, which was also painted gray. It would be difficult to find if it was not observed from a high place.

What is this stuff?
Zuo Zhong looked at it for a while, and felt that this thing seemed to be an antenna, and it was an antenna used by a high-power radio station. This kind of radio station can communicate with thousands of kilometers away, and it is usually only used by the military.

Because this kind of radio consumes a lot of power once it is turned on, and the power is so large that it can light up nearby light bulbs, which is not conducive to use and concealment. This is the first time Zuo Chong has seen the real thing, and he has only seen it in textbooks before.

Zuo Zhong thought for a while, then turned around and said, "Old Song, go get a radio."

Song Minghao didn't understand what he meant, but he quickly found one. In Shanghai, you can buy anything if you are willing to spend money. Zuo Zhong connected the radio to the power source and turned on the switch.

As the most modern city in the Republic of China, Shanghai had a number of commercial radio stations a long time ago, and the concession government also had stations serving expatriates. Generally, you can receive radio programs when you turn on the radio.

But when Zuo Chong turned on the radio, not only was there no radio program, but there was also a sharp and noisy electrical sound from the loudspeaker. Wu Chunyang and others were startled and plugged their ears one after another. The sound was too harsh.

Zuo Zhong's face was a bit ugly, the Japanese were too arrogant, they dared to turn on such a high-power radio station [-]/[-], if the concession didn't acquiesce in such a thing, he wouldn't believe it even if he was killed.

With the design drawing of Huamao Hotel and the acquiescence of the concession, it's no wonder that the other party is so confident that they didn't even go to the hotel to investigate on the spot, but Zuo Zhong felt that something was wrong.

There are two major powers in the International Settlement - Britain and the United States. Both countries are allowing the Germans to carry out military preparations, whether it is against France or the red giant bear, so why should they acquiesce to the Japanese attack?

Once the cooperation between China and Germany fails, without the support of China's tungsten mines, the German weapon manufacturing industry will suffer a huge blow, then their strategic goals will not be realized, and Britain and the United States cannot be so stupid.

Zuo Zhong frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly a person flashed in his mind—the respected British Consul Mr. Brondo Jiaqian, the other party is not also British, but why would he cooperate or even help him?

Interests are only interests, and they are personal interests.

Zuo Zhong probably figured it out. The Japanese might have used the example of the Liuguo Hotel to convince the upper management of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau that once a big incident happened in the Huamao Hotel, these public servants would have a reason to threaten to blackmail and occupy it.

Presumably some people in Shanghai will ask themselves, why can the consuls of Britain, Germany, France and the United States in Peiping make a fortune, and why can't they not? As for the damage to national interests, I'm sorry that this is just an accident.

Zuo Zhong's expression was a bit strange, he didn't expect the Japanese to learn so quickly, what should he do now, should he take the target out of Shanghai immediately or change his residence to hide before the Japanese are ready.

If he is a professional bodyguard, he should choose this way, because protecting the target is the first priority of a bodyguard, but he is the chief of the intelligence department of the Secret Service, so fleeing without a fight is not only humiliating to the country, but Zuo Zhong can't swallow it.

Besides, how should I explain it to Sektor? Once Sektor knows, will he look down on the Republic of China even more, and even propose harsher conditions than before?

At this time, Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang also listened to Song Minghao's introduction of the specific situation, and they winked for a while. It was Li Gui who met Li Kui for the Japanese, and he was looking for death by playing a big knife in front of a gangster expert like the section chief.

Gui Youguang approached Zuo Zhong: "Brother, do you want us to do it again?"

Wu Chunyang's eyes lit up. This kind of lawless action is not only missed by Youguang, he is also very interested. If they can rob the Huamao Hotel, then what they did will be unprecedented, not to mention unprecedented. .

Zuo Chong glanced at Song Minghao in the distance, and said angrily, "Are you an idiot when you are the bureau of the Ministry of Industry and the hotel? We have already used our public identities to contact you. Once more than 100 armed men hijack the hotel, do you think they will miss us?" ?”

If he hadn't revealed his identity, Zuo Zhong wouldn't mind being blackmailed again. The name of the Northeast Republican Army can't be used. It's a big deal to change the name. Anyway, these colonists have done a lot of bad things, and their enemies are all over the world.

Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang sighed at the same time, Zuo Zhong felt that the ideological work of the intelligence department needed to be strengthened, and the national civil servants thought about being robbers all day long, which was fine.

Too lazy to care about these two bastards who are interested in the hotel security industry, Zuo Zhong decided to meet someone first after thinking about it, and then decide what to do, intelligence must come first, Zuo Chong told himself repeatedly.

In the evening, Zuo Zhong left the hotel with Gu Qi. No one knew where they went. All they knew was that Gu Qi had received 10 yuan in funding. Not long after, Zuo Zhong came back alone, but the deputy section chief was still missing.

As soon as Zuo Zhong came back, he asked people to call the little beggar at the pier to his room. Everyone knew the allusion of Mr. Meng Chang and the thief.

The writer's words have a special episode

　Hase Ryosuke stuffed the 10 yuan bill into the closet, stood there and admired it, feeling that his body was full of infinite power.

　　At this time, the voice of the boss, Iwai, sounded outside: "Mr. Hase, immediately carry out the reconnaissance mission of the Shanghai Nightclub. Are you ready?"

　　Ryosuke Hase's expression changed, and he took out a 100 yuan bill from the closet, then changed it into 50 yuan, then changed it into 10 yuan, and finally he threw the wallet into the closet and left gracefully.
