mixed in the war

End of December 1939.Literature Museum

A month ago, the Japanese North China Front Army carried out a raid on the CCP’s anti-Japanese base in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei in order to fight against more and more resistance teams. As a result, Kihide Abe, known as the “famous general”, was killed by the CCP troops.Although this is not comparable to the losses in many wars, it still embarrasses the Japanese army extremely.

In addition, the New Fourth Army that retreated to the north also regained its foothold in the Dabie Mountains and opened up the Dabie Mountains Anti-Japanese Base.Tens of thousands of elites radiate power to the three provinces of Anhui, Hubei, and Henan, and to a large extent affect the battle situation in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River Basins.

It was in such a situation that Zhou Fohai, the new Mayor of Shanghai Special City of the Wang puppet government, stepped into his jurisdiction.

He is already the fifth mayor of Shanghai since Wang Jingwei established the Nanjing Puppet National Government.Speaking of which, although the mayor of Shanghai has a high status in Wang Jingwei's government, it is really not an auspicious position.The first mayor, Fu Xiaoan, was hacked to death by his own chef; the second mayor resigned because of frequent assassinations; the third mayor, Chen Gongbo, took over temporarily during his journey from Hong Kong to Nanjing this post.Soon he went to Nanjing to serve as President of Wang Jingwei's Legislative Yuan, member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, Minister of Political Training, and Chairman of the Qingxiang Committee.After that, the mayor of Shanghai will be difficult to choose.It was not easy to find a fourth term. Yin Rugeng, who had caused a lot of troubles in Beiping, also hid in Nanjing because of the frequent assassination incidents in Shanghai... Finally, he was dismissed by Wang Jingwei up.But now, although it has been more than a month of peace, there are still few people from the "Nanjing National Government" who are willing to come to Shanghai. In desperation, Wang Jingwei had to put the heavy responsibility on his confidant Zhou Fohai. [

Zhou Fohai was originally unwilling.He doesn't care about the position of mayor of Shanghai, although this position is indeed very important.But for him, it is possible.Because, after Wang Jingwei rebelled and came to Nanjing to organize the puppet national government, his status was already very important.In this government, he won important positions such as the pseudo-finance minister, the vice-chairman of the pseudo-military committee, and the secretary-general of the pseudo-central political committee. Minister of Political Affairs, Vice-Chairman of the Puppet Clearing Committee, Chairman of the Counterfeit Material Control Review Committee, etc.It can be said that he has mastered the diplomatic, financial, financial, military, material and secret service powers of the Wang puppet regime, and in addition to this.He also directly controls a well-equipped and strictly trained fake tax police corps.

He is the third person in the Wang puppet government.Although his position was only under Wang Jingwei and Chen Gongbo, when Wang Jingwei's puppet central government was established, the traitors in the puppet government's various courts, ministries, and associations were all nominated by him. The above was concocted by him.He is very proud of it.He also said in his diary: "The national government returned to the capital, and the blue sky and white sun were full of red flags flying over the stone city. , and not in vain for the rest of my life!"

Therefore, if Shanghai is not Shanghai, he is really not willing to take over.Although now for some reason.The Chongqing side stopped the almost crazy assassination activities in Shanghai, but he knew that this time was only three months.After holding back for three months, if the other party makes another move, it will definitely be quite crazy.Maybe many big things will happen.At this time, he took over as mayor of Shanghai.Not a wise choice at all.

But just like what Wang Jingwei said to him in private, "Who will go if you don't go? Who can go?" That means obviously, you are in charge of the secret agents of the Nanjing government, and even No. 76 is under your direct control.Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun are also your subordinates... Now that Shanghai has barely calmed down for a while, you are no longer rushing to stabilize the situation.Possessed by a superhero that others will gossip about.

In other words, Zhou Fohai had no choice.

……

"Headache."

Although it has been quiet for more than a month, how smart are the people in Shanghai Beach?You won't bet your own safety.Therefore, even if Zhou Fohai, the top power figure under the Wang family, came to Shanghai, there were still very few welcomers.Fujita Susumu and the others managed to organize a fairly lively welcome ceremony, and after chatting with Zhou Fohai for a few more words, they left separately under the pretext of being busy with business.The hasty posture made Zhou Fohai feel that these guys were "running away"!

"Sir, do you want to meet that person?" As the leader of No. 76 directly under Zhou Fohai, Ding Mocun didn't embarrass his immediate boss too much, and he stayed until the end.

"The scholars have left?" Zhou Fohai was resting on the sofa in the study, but when he heard this, he sat up slowly.

"His injury is still not healed, I have already sent him back to rest." Ding Mocun replied softly.

"Hmph." Zhou Fohai shook his head, "He must have thought you were going to report him in front of me again, right?"

"I didn't say anything, it's just that he didn't look very good when he left. But... I don't think he really cares." Ding Mocun laughed.

"Of course he doesn't care." Zhou Fohai sneered, "Recently he often sends people to Nanjing for activities, and he still wants to be the chairman of Jiangsu Province!"

"Chairman of Jiangsu Province?" Ding Mocun was startled, he didn't know about it.This shows that Li Shiqun attaches great importance to this matter, or...is very sure?Otherwise, why make it so secretive, afraid of being known by others?

"You don't have to worry about him." Zhou Fohai naturally also saw Ding Mocun's performance, and immediately said: "I have already told Mr. Wang that in a few months, I will let you promote you to be the Minister of Welfare. If there is a chance, maybe You can even get a minister of transportation."

"Minister of Transportation?" Ding Mocun was stunned again, and then he was overjoyed: "Thank you for your cultivation, sir."

"You don't need to thank me, you should thank Mr. Wang. And you deserve it." Zhou Fohai waved his hand and sighed again: "The 'Chongqing Puppet Government' carried out assassination terror in Shanghai. People in Shanghai are fluctuating. Although Mr. Wang has scolded you a lot recently, he still knows your difficulties. He told me before coming here that this place, without you, Dingmo Village, would not know what kind of chaos it would be. "

"Thank you Mr. Wang for your commendation. In fact, Li Shiqun also has a lot of credit." Ding Mocun said with a smile on his face. [

"It is creditable, but he is quite embarrassing." Zhou Fohai snorted coldly, "He was assassinated twice in a row, and almost lost his life both times... I don't know. I thought No. 76 was so capable, You can’t even protect your own leaders.”

"Actually, he also has difficulties... The people in the military command don't have a fixed place. They don't even seem to be moving on the radio station. They act like a powerful and unconstrained style, with no track at all. And the most important thing is that they don't seem to have any contact personnel at all..." Ding Mocun smiled wryly, as if he wanted to explain something to his partner.

"Without a contact person, how can we determine who to assassinate? Where can I find out about the activities of the assassinated target?" Zhou Fohai didn't believe this at all. "I know you are afraid that you will be involved in this matter. Don't worry, although you are also responsible, Mr. Wang knows that you are only an assistant in No. 76, and Li Shiqun is the most important person..."

"Yes." Ding Mocun fell silent.Zhou Fohai hit his mind.But what he said just now was not a lie.He was indeed incredulous about the way those killers acted.It is simply unimaginable that they have not been able to find the contact method of the other party until now.To know.After the other party assassinated several important people one after another, the whole of Shanghai moved, and even the Japanese garrison in Shanghai moved into the city... Such a large-scale search, not to mention a few people, even a group of flies want to escape easily.But many suspects were caught, but none of the real ones were caught.Up to now, they don't know how the other party communicates with each other.And started the assassination.And it is this kind of unknown that makes them afraid of those killers... That feeling is like the people on earth who are afraid of aliens many years later

"What about that person?"

After "comforting" Dingmo Village, Zhou Fohai remembered the important thing again: the wife of the Goddess fell in love with me.

"It's right below. Pretending to be my bodyguard." Ding Mocun replied in a low voice.

"Call him in. I want to see what he wants to say." Zhou Fohai's face was gloomy.

"Wait a minute, I'll call him."

"Ok!"

……

Ding Mocun hurriedly went downstairs, while Zhou Fohai picked up the newspaper beside him while chatting.And soon, he was attracted by one of the reports... This report was about the incident of "Director Qin threatening Doihara" that had been raging a while ago.Talk about it.Zhou Fohai actually felt aggrieved for Doihara.Isn't it just exchanging a Zhang Boju for three months of An Ding?It's just a deal, and Japan and their Nanjing government have taken advantage of it.But after being publicized by Chongqing, ordinary people regard the famous Doihara as a local rat, thinking that anyone can bully him or her casually.There are even folk rumors that this "Director Qin" is just Dai Li's deputy... because Qin Wei is not as famous as Dai Li.And a deputy can scare Kenji Doihara, how powerful is the military commander?Of course, some newspapers did not forget to criticize the Nanjing government for collaborating with the Japanese, speculating that Zhang Boju's kidnapping was a scandal directed and performed by them.

In this regard, Doihara and the headquarters of the China Expeditionary Army just denounced it as "nonsense", and did not say anything else.

And the newspapers have been raging like this for more than half a month, and the matter has become more and more mysterious.However, during this disturbance, Qin Wei's real identity was revealed by those reporters... The co-author was actually Dai Li's immediate boss.So, everyone became more and more interested.From the beginning of Qin Wei's Chinese pinyin, to the fact that he was caught by the Japanese and nearly died, and Generalissimo Jiang tried his best to rescue him, and then he had a conflict with Kong Xiangxi, and so on!Qin Wei's reputation is also getting bigger and bigger, and people finally discovered that there was another terrific high-ranking official in the national government, and this person rose up so fast that he could be called a legend in the officialdom.

This kind of person always attracts people's curiosity.

As a result, Qin Wei became a "frequent visitor" to various newspapers, and was brought out for scrutiny from time to time.

Zhou Fohai has also seen many such reports.Of course, he knows more about Qin Wei than these newspapers... However, the taste of the report has obviously changed this time.Instead of blindly applauding Qin Wei as before, it turned into applauding Chiang Kai-shek.According to the report, Qin Wei was originally from Huangpu, he was not from Zhejiang, and he was just a scholar before he became an official, but Generalissimo Jiang wanted to rescue him after he was caught by the Japanese.As a result, Qin Wei became an official immediately after this incident, and then jumped up quickly.And obviously, Qin Wei's rise must have had a lot of credit, otherwise, it would be impossible to scare the famous Doihara with just one letter... From this, it can be seen that Chairman Jiang's vision is accurate, Rare.Think again about the students of Chairman Jiang, such as Song Xilian, Du Yuming, Zhang Lingfu, Hu Lian, Wang Yaowu... Which one is not a well-known famous general who fought the Japanese on the battlefield?Therefore, it is Chairman Jiang who is really powerful, and under the leadership of Chairman Jiang, the recovery of China is just around the corner.

"shame."

Zhou Fohai is rather crooked.This newspaper is obviously looking for Lao Jiang... If the bald man is really so bad, why was he beaten to Chongqing?But he could not deny that this report was very demagogic.In particular, the generals mentioned have all achieved considerable success on the battlefield.This gave many people a preconceived feeling: as long as they are Lao Jiang's students, they will definitely be able to fight.But if you think about it carefully, you will find the problem. Lao Jiang has so many students, how come only so few can win the battle?

"Sir, someone is here."

Ding Mo walked in from the village gate, followed by a bearded guy dressed as a bodyguard.

"What's your name? What's your identity?" Zhou Fohai put down the newspaper, stared at the man, and asked. [

"Military Commissioner Xu Yuanju, who is also the commander of the 'Dragon Squad'!"
