Chapter 1265 Concoction

"Vice-chairman?"

Gui Youguang also noticed Xu Enzeng outside the window. He called out softly, asking Zuo Chongyong if he wanted to go and take a look.

Zuo Chong thought about it and nodded slightly. It would be a good idea to check what this guy is doing to prevent him from attracting the Japanese or No. 76.

Gui Youguang left in a hurry and soon caught up with Xu Enzeng. The two played hide-and-seek on the streets of Shanghai. However, with Xu Enzeng's anti-tracking skills, it was still difficult for him to get rid of Gui Youguang.

Rickshaws, trams, streets, and narrow alleys all became the places where the two men fought. From the French Concession to the International Settlement, this cat-and-mouse game lasted for several hours.

Three hours later, in a brightly decorated room, Xu Enzeng and a man in a satin shirt sat at the table. Listening to the laughter coming from outside the room, Xu Enzeng glanced outside the door and spoke in a low voice.

"Have you checked it out?"

"There is already some progress, please rest assured."

“Is the news reliable?”

"Very reliable. I got the information through the Cao Gang."

"Very good. Let our people be careful. Shanghai is the territory of foreigners and Japanese after all."

"Understood. I will be very careful. Do I need to inform Director Shen about this?"

"No need for that. Shen is in the same boat with Zuo Zhong. Don't trust him."

The two men put their heads together and talked about something vague. After the conversation ended, the man bowed and left the room. Then a pretty and graceful woman quietly appeared in the room. Xu Enzeng immediately bared his teeth.

  Across the street, Gui Youguang finished the coffee in his cup, calmly stood up, took out his money, and leisurely left the cafe.
-

"So Xu Enzeng left the hotel and went to a bacon shop?"

"Yes, I asked the nearby shops and learned that this bacon shop existed before the war and has a Cao Gang background."

"Haha, it seems that this is Old Xu's own secret line. Opening a bacon shop is in line with the impression he leaves on the public."

In the Military Control Commission's safe house in the French Concession, Zuo Zhong listened to Gui Youguang's report and jokingly said something with a teasing tone.

The so-called Xianrouzhuang is actually a technical college. The levels of Huaguo in Shanghai are divided into Shuyu, Changsan, Changer, and Xianrou from high to low.

The first three are more upscale, and entertaining guests at home is called "dachawei". "Going out on business" is either taking a horse-drawn carriage or being sent to the door by servants in the hall in a sedan chair or rickshaw.

The last type of bacon shop is lower-end and most of the customers are people from the middle and lower classes of society. There are many people and eyes inside, so it is indeed a good meeting place.

Gui Youguang grinned foolishly, and then added: "Vice-chairman, it seems that Xu is trying to make some small moves. He is really a coward who can't change his ways. This has happened so many times. Why don't you think he will learn his lesson?"

Zuo Zhong smiled without saying anything. If he had learned his lesson, he would not be Xu Enzeng anymore. But compared with before, the other party had obviously improved. At least he knew how to counter tracking.

After mocking Old Xu, Zuo Zhong reported the intelligence sent by Hase to Gui Youguang, which included two pieces of news: Osako Michimasa had set a trap at a suburban military station, and the location of the Japan-Jewish negotiations had not yet been determined.

Gui Youguang scratched his head. It was no problem for him to kill people, but analyzing intelligence was indeed not his forte.

After thinking for a moment, Daguang suddenly had an idea and suggested using the Central Bureau of Investigation to test the Japanese as he had done before, since Xu Enzeng was doing something tricky anyway.

Zuo Chong shook his head. This was a different time now. In the past, when dealing with the underground party, the Military Control Commission could do whatever it wanted to hinder them.

But now they are dealing with the Japanese, he cannot take the initiative to let the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics die. Of course, if Xu Enzeng seeks death himself, that is another matter.

After pacing in the room for a few steps, Zuo Chong thought of something. In the secret talks between Japan and Yu, he seemed to have forgotten an important role - the Japanese Navy.

  Japan is neither a standard land power nor a standard maritime power. The power of the army and navy constrains each other. Why didn't the Japanese navy get involved in this matter?

This is probably related to the disagreement between going north and going south. After all, if the Jews established a country in Manchukuo, it would definitely squeeze out the resources that originally belonged to the navy, so it is understandable that the navy does not like this.

Furthermore, the Japanese Navy has a strong Western flavor, and most of its officers have studied in Europe and the United States.

As for the Jews, the mainstream Western society is both wary and contemptuous. This is contradictory but real, so the Japanese Navy is not interested in the "Puffer Fish" plan.

Zuo Zhong's brain was working quickly and a word popped up in his mind. Perhaps the Military Control Commission could do something with this word. He stopped abruptly and looked up at Gui Youguang.

"Order Daxiong to find a suitable time to spread the news that I am coming to Shanghai, but the words should be vague and not too involved in the military station affairs. Then have him find a way to stir up the Japanese Navy's dissatisfaction with the secret talks between Japan and the Ukrainians. By the way, notify Xu Enzeng, Lao Zheng, and Dong Xin and tell them to meet later."

"What? Okay, Vice-President."

Gui Youguang was stunned for a moment and then reacted immediately, turned around and left. For him, this was the ideal working state. He didn't need to think about why, just follow the orders.

Late at night, in a secret room of a hotel.

  Xu Enzeng's face flushed, and he said with a little dissatisfaction: "Deputy Director Zuo, what's the urgent matter? Xu just came back from investigation, and he didn't have time to catch his breath when you called him here." Zheng Tingbing puffed on his cigar, his nose twitching slightly, and he was confused. Why did the man named Xu have a familiar smell? Did the other party find him in bed during the investigation?

Shen Dongxin watched the whole show. The main purpose of his trip was to gild his resume. He didn't understand the situation in Shanghai, so it was best to be cautious in what he said and did.

Zuo Zhong ignored Xu Enzeng's nonsense, sat down and said slowly: "Everyone, I have decided to publish the secret talks between Japan and You through newspapers before taking action."

"what?"

Xu Enzeng stood up and objected loudly: "Zuo, you are playing with fire. Once the Japanese know that the secret talks have been leaked, they will definitely be on high alert. How can we complete the mission then? I don't agree!"

His face turned red with excitement, and he made waving movements, just like a cooked crab. Gui Youguang burst out laughing, and Shen Dongxin couldn't help laughing as well.

Zheng Tingbing quickly stopped him and said kindly, "Hey, hey, Deputy Director Xu, don't be so excited. It's all for the party and the country. Let's listen to Deputy Director Zuo continue. I think he must have his reasons for doing this. Am I right, Deputy Director Zuo?"

Hearing Zheng Tingbing's question or test, Zuo Zhong smiled slightly, took out a booklet and threw it on the table. Everyone looked down and saw a few big words written on it.

  "Judas Threat Theory"!

what is this?

Zheng Tingbing picked up the booklet, and Xu Enzeng also leaned his head closer. The two of them quickly flipped through it and soon understood the contents of the booklet.

Since the 20s, the world has been in a turbulent period. The Great Depression swept the world, political instability in various countries, the rise of various thoughts, and the rise of Germany in particular brought unprecedented tension to the world.

Against this backdrop, the Judas threat theory has quietly emerged, not only because the Jews are betrayers in the Christian story, but also because many people believe that the Jews are a secret destructive force.

Some conspiracy theorists conclude that the collapse of the global order was not accidental, but was manipulated by the Jews behind the scenes. This argument is very popular in Europe and even America.

In this booklet, Zuo Zhong further refined the three core elements of the Judas Threat Theory, namely financial control theory, political conspiracy theory and cultural infiltration theory, and constructed a complete theory.

First, the Jews controlled the global economy by controlling banks and financial institutions, secretly planned the stock market crash in 1929, profited from it and controlled the lifeline of the world economy.

Second, the Jews use secret organizations to influence the policies of various governments and take advantage of economic crises and political turmoil to implement their own global domination plans. Many senior politicians are actually puppets of the Jews.

Third, the Jews control the media, publishing, and entertainment industries, secretly spreading their values ​​​​and ideology, and gradually corroding the morals and beliefs of various countries through cultural influence, thereby achieving control over society.

Xu Enzeng and Zheng Tingbing were sweating profusely, especially Xu Enzeng, who was trembling as he spoke: "Deputy Director Zuo, are these contents true?"

The Judas threat theory concocted by Zuo Zhong was based on theory and evidence, so Xu Enzeng had to believe it. What he was worried about was that if he went against such a force, he would be asking for trouble.

Zheng Tingbing also looked at Zuo Zhong with a heavy expression, wanting to hear his explanation. The war had reached this point, and the National Government could not afford to have another enemy.

Gui Youguang and Shen Dongxin also flipped through the booklet one after another. The former was only slightly surprised and did not take it seriously, while the latter became alert.

Zuo Zhong took in the reactions of the few people, spread his hands and said helplessly: "No way, you don't really believe it, do you? These are all made up by Zuo, are they the same as the truth?"

He only used half of the skills of later self-media to deceive a group of professional agents. It was really terrifying.

Xu Enzeng and Zheng Tingbing's faces turned dark. This little bastard was going too far. Why did he make up such things for no reason? Didn't he know that scaring people to death?

"Ah, Deputy Director Zuo, this kind of thing is not easy to talk about." Xu Enzeng was so angry that he even blurted out his hometown swear words. Fortunately, he swallowed the last word "赖" in time.

Zheng Tingbing also frowned and criticized bluntly: "How can you treat national affairs so triflingly? Shen Zhong, you went a little too far this time. You'd better not make such jokes in the future."

Zuo Chong glared at Xu Enzeng, thinking that he didn't understand Huzhou dialect. He suppressed Gui Youguang who was about to get angry and pointed at the booklet and asked back.

"But what I wrote is very true. Please think about it. If other countries knew about the secret talks between Japan and Israel and saw this booklet, how would they react? Would Japan's attitude towards this matter change?"

  Everyone was stunned. Not to mention the ignorant general public, even the four of them believed it after reading it. The Judas Threat Theory would definitely cause a huge uproar, but what was the point?

Europeans and Americans are preoccupied with their own affairs and can only raise their vigilance against the Japanese and Jews again. Neither of them can help each other in this matter. As for whether they can play a decisive role, neither of them is optimistic.

As for Japan, there is even less hope. The Japanese have long known the risks of cooperating with the Jews. Even if the pamphlet is published, it will have no effect on the Jews.

Without waiting for them to ask questions, Zuo Zhong crossed his arms and said calmly, "You have forgotten one thing. The Japanese Navy did not participate in this negotiation. The other side is not interested in the Japan-Jewish alliance. The biggest reason is that this matter is not very beneficial to the navy, and it may even be harmful.

Moreover, the high-ranking officers of the navy think that the cabinet's plan is unlikely to succeed, but the emergence of the Judas threat theory will prompt them to change their minds. If the plan succeeds, the strength of the Japanese army will be greatly increased. What do you think the Etajima gang will do? "

Zheng Tingbing and Shen Dongxin understood that as an important force within Japan, it was indeed abnormal for the Japanese Navy to be absent from the Japan-Jewish secret talks.

Thinking from another perspective, this abnormality is good news for them. If used properly, it can provide great support for their actions.

Zuo Zhong stared at Xu Enzeng and said something suggestive: "I have made up my mind. We will make the secret talks and the contents of the book public immediately. We want to muddy the waters. Who knows how many people are behind this, right, Old Xu?"

Feeling guilty, Xu Enzeng nodded his head quickly, his eyes rolling around, and thought to himself, this is a good idea, if the information obtained by Xianrouzhuang is correct, then doing this will be beneficial to him.

In the past, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics had always been the scapegoat, but this time they will let the Military Bureau of Investigation and the leftists take the lead while they sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers!
