Shanghai.

Security Command.

The newly appointed garrison commander and the newly appointed secret service chief Takeda Yoshihei were alone.

"Takeda-kun, the situation in Shanghai... is not optimistic!"

The commander rubbed his head and sighed, "I thought the biggest problem in Shanghai was the concessions, but I didn't expect that compared with the troubles of the Military Control Commission and Zhang Xiao, the problems of the concessions are not worth mentioning!"

Zhang Xiao and the Shanghai Military Control Commission are one and the same, but in this sentence, the commander separated the troubles of the Military Control Commission and Zhang Xiao's troubles. The reason is still because of four words:

shocking!

The Shanghai garrison commander has changed three times since the fall of Shanghai. One was dismissed because Matsui was injured in the assassination and several generals died in battle. One took the blame and resigned because of the fall of Suzhou, the annihilation of nearly two battalions, the "annihilation" of two puppet army divisions, and fierce fighting between the Japanese and puppet forces.

After he took office, he retrieved various files, questioned various people, and after gaining an in-depth understanding of Shanghai, he came to this shocking conclusion.

The headquarters has always believed that the trouble in Shanghai was caused by Zhang Xiao of the Military Control Commission. The other party relied on the concession as its rear base and launched attacks again and again, causing unrest in Shanghai.

But actually?
The concessions were not the rear base of the Military Control Commission at all. They were located in the occupied urban areas and had various identities to cover themselves. They were civilians during the day and soldiers at night, and their numbers were extremely large.

And that’s just power in action!

The most terrifying thing about the Military Intelligence Bureau is its intelligence capability, but its intelligence capability is very secretive. If Takeda had not informed the commander, he would not have dared to believe that the Japanese troops and various agencies in Shanghai were leaking information everywhere!
And these are only what can be found in a short period of time. What about those that cannot be found?

After hearing the commander's sigh, Takeda said in a serious tone: "Commander, according to my investigation, the Military Control Commission has deep roots in Shanghai, especially during the Zhang Shihao period!"

"The main reason why the Shanghai Military Control Commission was able to win battles again and again and treat the imperial army as nothing is due to the layout during Zhang Shihao's period. I think if we want to defeat the Military Control Commission, we must first disintegrate its deep-rooted advantages - I suggest implementing the Baojia system in Shanghai."

The baojia system has a long history, but the person who used the system most recently was the team leader. In order to disintegrate the base area, he promoted the baojia system in Jiangxi.

This system was learned by the Japanese and implemented on a large scale in Northeast China.

However, in Shanghai, where population mobility is frequent and the population is extremely dense, it has not been implemented, mainly due to insufficient execution.

"The Baojia system?"

The commander started talking about how he had been to the Northeast and was quite familiar with this.

Takeda explained: "The previous reform government did not have enough execution power, and they were willing but unable to implement the Baojia system. But now Wang's regime has the execution power!"

The commander stared at Takeda:

"You are pinning your hopes on Baojia?"

"Yes, by dismantling its foundation with the baojia system, and then using slow grinding and blunt knife cutting to continuously weaken the power of the Shanghai military control, thus achieving the level where quantitative change leads to qualitative change."

Faced with Takeda's conservative strategy, the commander frowned and said, "So... isn't it too slow to take effect?"

"Sir, Zhang Xiao is as cunning as a fox. If you are too eager to win, you will be taken advantage of by the other party and eventually fall into their rhythm. If you are not careful, you will lose many soldiers!"

Takeda said solemnly: "Only by taking steady steps, working slowly and crushing with an upright force, can we make the opponent's tricks useless!"

"Tsukamoto Kiyoshi, the head of the Far Special High Section, took steady steps from the beginning of his tenure. He ignored all kinds of temptations and was able to kill Zhang Shihao in one fell swoop!"

"But after he killed Zhang Shihao, he became arrogant, and he fell again and again without reflecting on his mistakes. In the end, he was too eager for quick success and ended up losing everything!"

"Zhang Shihao... Zhang Xiao..." The commander muttered these two names. As a senior Japanese general, he was used to quickly dealing with his Chinese opponents because he looked down on the Chinese from the bottom of his heart.

But his predecessors in Shanghai had taught him too many lessons. Although he wanted to resolve the issue of military unification in Shanghai as soon as possible, Takeda was right. Too many people had already suffered losses, and being too impatient for success would easily backfire.

After figuring this out, he said in a deep voice:
"Takeda-kun, I'll give you a year. I hope that after a year, the Military Control Commission in Shanghai will no longer provoke the Empire and embarrass the Empire again and again like they did in the past two years!"

"Please rest assured, Commander, I will definitely solve this problem!"

"please!"

……

Although Takeda Yoshihei promised the commander who took office at the same time as him that he would solve the problem of the Military Control Commission, he actually had no idea whether he could solve it completely.

Among Fujita Yoshimasa, Matsumuro Yoshitaka and Kagesa Tadaaki, who is worse than him?

But these three people all failed, what would he do?

Naturally, Takeda did not want to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors, so he decided to vigorously support the Chinese and adopt the approach of using Chinese to control Chinese.

The reason for this decision was that he had reviewed all the past files of the Shanghai secret service and found that the secret service had always been using and guarding against the Chinese, and the restrictions imposed on them were very severe.

But there is one fact that must be acknowledged:

No matter how many Japanese agents who looked no different from the Chinese were transferred from the Northeast, they were not Chinese in essence. They could not use their decades-long network of relationships to crack down on the Military Control Commission like the Chinese did.

But the Chinese can!

A Chinese spy can influence and mobilize the power of dozens or even hundreds of people, but a Japanese spy cannot do this.

The only problem is:
"Chief, the Chinese cannot be trusted!"

An old man from the secret service objected, saying, "Since the establishment of No. 76, we have supported them very strongly, providing them with people, money, and weapons, but they have never produced much results."

"I can guarantee that among the resistance fighters captured by No. 76, more than half are actually ordinary civilians. They were handed over by No. 76 to make up the numbers."

Many old people in the secret service agencies agreed with this man’s remarks. After all, they looked down on the Chinese from the bottom of their hearts.

Faced with such unanimous opposition, Takeda said coldly: "Gentlemen, you said that No. 76 did not achieve much, what about you, gentlemen?"

This heart-piercing remark immediately silenced the Japanese who had been clamoring just now.

Takeda then snorted coldly:
"I've made up my mind! I'll increase my support for No. 76 in the future!"

"Whatever No. 76 wants, I'll give him!"

"Whether they are reliable or not, let time tell - but I hope you can learn from your mistakes and be brave, and not be idle like you were in the past!"

"What the empire needs is agents who can do things, not... a bunch of greedy trash!" Takeda's words showed no respect for the old men in the secret service, but these people could only bear it, because Takeda was transferred from the Northeast, and he gained the support of Kagesawa's old team when he first took office. In the past, Shanghai was the world of this group of "Shanghai natives" (who had served in Shanghai for a long time), but the emergence of the Doihara Agency shared their power, and then annexed them. Although they can still stick together, their strength is not as good as before.

When Takeda came to power, he gained prestige by attacking them. After a series of tragedies, this group of people were now being humiliated by Takeda, but they could do nothing about it.

This meeting determined the next strategy of the Shanghai secret service:
The main focus is on vigorously supporting No. 76.

After the meeting, Takeda went to the backyard and met a man in a remote hut.

Shi Yimei!
A person who should have died in the attack on No. 3 on the night of March 29!

After Takeda came in, he said to her politely, "Miss Shi, you have worked hard these days."

During the attack on No. 29 on the night of March 76, at the critical moment, Shi Yimei exchanged identities with the maid "Wu Ma". After successfully "tricking" a grenade, she pretended to be a maid and escaped the inevitable death.

That night, Shi Yimei secretly left No. 76 and faked her death.

But she was obviously not someone who was willing to be alone, and after Takeda took office, she started to hook up with him.

"It's not hard to serve the head of the organization."

Takeda smiled, not taking it seriously, and asked directly, "How is the investigation going?"

After taking office, Takeda discovered something incredible:

The secret service in Shanghai has only a little understanding of the opponents that keep them awake at night!
For example: Zhang Xiao, nicknamed "Fox of the Military Control Commission", has an unknown age, appearance, interests, hobbies, family situation, and experience!
Takeda was stunned when he saw it. He had no idea what was going on and didn't understand anything at all. The spy agency in Shanghai must be shit!

He was a man who loved to think. For every opponent, he would perfect the portrait of the opponent in his mind based on various intelligence. But now he had only two words for Zhang Xiao:
Unknown!

Add four more words:

unbeatable!

What should Takeda do about this?
So after hooking up with Shi Yimei, he gave Shi Yimei a task:
Investigate Zhang Xiao!

He may not be able to do anything to Zhang Xiao on the intelligence battlefield, but after collecting comprehensive information, he will always be able to find a way to deal with him, right?
At this time, Shi Yimei returned, and he was looking forward to Shi Yimei giving him a surprise.

"Director, it is unknown when Zhang Xiao joined the Military Control Commission, but his rise to power was after Zhang Shihao's death, when he handed in a "Zhang Xiao Secret Investigation Report". I found this investigation report through my connections, and found that the other party knew a lot about Japan."

"So I suspected he was an international student in Japan, so I specifically checked the archives of the educational institution, but found nothing."

"So I guess the name [Zhang Xiao] is probably a pseudonym."

"I conducted a secret investigation through the Military Intelligence Bureau, but no one in the Military Intelligence Bureau knew about Zhang Xiao before he became famous, because he was discovered by the Military Intelligence Bureau very quickly, so I had to change direction. Later, I decided to investigate from the Central Intelligence Bureau, because the relationship between the Central Intelligence Bureau and Zhang Xiao was extremely strange. It stands to reason that Xu Rongzeng would not cooperate with a leader of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but the strange thing is that Xu Rongzeng was very indulgent towards this person."

Hearing this, Takeda couldn't help but ask, "Indulgence?"

The word "indulgence" is very strange to use in this place!

"That's right, it was connivance. At the end of 38, Zhang Xiao went to Chongqing. In the initial stage, he repeatedly slapped the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics in the face. But the strange thing is that after meeting Zhang Xiao, Xu Rongzeng actually tolerated it all and even cooperated with the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. It was at that time that they joined forces to force Ding Mocun to flee."

Takeda listened quietly, completing the character portrait of Zhang Xiao in his mind.

"But I also learned that this person doesn't respect Xu Rongzeng very much, but Xu is so indulgent towards this person. I guess Xu Rongzeng knows him very well."

"But later my whereabouts were exposed and I had to leave Chongqing. But please rest assured, Chief, I have already planted a stake in the Central Bureau of Investigation and will definitely find a way to get Zhang Xiao's details from Xu Rongzeng."

Shi Yimei felt a little regretful. If it weren't for her bad luck that she was almost recognized by someone, she might have been able to control the investigation herself.

"Miss, you have gained a lot this time. Although you have not been able to find out Zhang Xiao's true identity, you have gained a lot. Thank you for your hard work during this period of time..." After saying the nice words without asking for money, Takeda said solemnly:

"Miss Shi, I want to strengthen the power of No. 76. I want to know which one you prefer, the Director of Intelligence or the Director of Operations?"

Shi Yimei suddenly had the urge to die for his friend.

Compared to the stingy Tsukamoto and the damnable Kagesa, Takeda is indeed generous and righteous!
She suppressed her excitement and said in a deep voice:
"Chief, I want to...operate in secret for the time being!"

Takeda was stunned: "Why?"

"Because of Zhang Xiao!"

Shi Yimei said in a serious tone: "Chief, Zhang Xiao is very alert. If I am in the open, it will be very difficult for me to plot against him easily. It would be better for me to plot against him in secret!"

"There is another reason. That is, there are leaks everywhere inside No. 76. If there is any plot, the Military Control Commission will definitely find out at the first time."

On the day Yi Mocheng was killed, Shi Yimei had a conversation with Yi Mocheng. She strongly agreed with Yi Mocheng's choice to develop his power outside of No. 76 and intended to follow his example. That night, she was writing relevant materials - now that the world has changed, she didn't expect that the method she used that night could still be used!

"Are there leaks everywhere?"

Takeda tapped the table, thought for a while and said, "In that case, you should stay in An for the time being - just let me know if you need anything in terms of manpower or weapons!"

"Also, since you think that there are leaks all over No. 76, I will give you the responsibility of secretly monitoring it. You can deal with the people inside No. 76 at will without Ding Mocun's consent!"

Shi Yimei said gratefully: "Thank you for your trust, Chief!"

Takeda waved his hand and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped:
"What do you think of Gu Shenyan?"

“Gu Shenyan…” Shi Yimei hesitated and said, “This person is extremely capable and can get along well with anyone. He is good at clarifying and sorting out the relationships between all parties.”

"I see."

Takeda nodded.

The reason why he asked this question was because the secret service agency now had to support No. 76 in all aspects, and as a result, the power of No. 76 would inevitably expand.

His original plan was to have Shi Yimei enter Unit 76 to take charge of key institutions, which would also make it easier to check and balance Ding Mo-cun.

But Shi Yimei wanted to hide in the dark, but there must be someone in No. 76 to check and balance Ding Mocun, so the only choice fell on Gu Shenyan, the deputy director - in fact, there was another candidate, Minglou, but according to his understanding, Minglou's future work focus would be the Economic Department, so it could only be Gu Shenyan.

Seeing that Shi Yimei spoke so highly of Gu Shenyan, he felt relieved.

This is a consistent tactic of the Japanese. Although Takeda strongly advocates supporting No. 76, as a Japanese, it is always a habit for them to be wary of the Chinese.
