Shadow Spy

Chapter 89: Work hard at ideological work
Because his own car was damaged and needed major repairs, when he returned to the consulate, Li Junhao sat in Counselor Sheehan's Buick.

As soon as he got in the car, Sheen asked: "Pan Sen, what's going on? Why did someone want to assassinate you?"

"I don't know." Li Junhao replied, "But I think it must have been done by the Japanese. I just don't know why."

Sheen believed that the last words just now were actually what Li Junhao asked him to say to Hobbes. The reason why he agreed was because of one of Li Junhao's reasons: No matter what the cause of the matter was, Japan has now been captured. We must make good use of people's shortcomings to severely attack the arrogance of the Japanese.

Because it was very close to the Consulate General, the motorcade drove into the place a few minutes later. After getting off the car, Military Attaché Hobbs walked up to Li Junhao, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Pan Sen, your marksmanship is great. He is a soldier!" Then he walked into the office building ahead of him.Just now, Hobbs specially called Captain Watt to the car to learn about the situation at the scene and admired Li Junhao's shooting skills.In fact, if he had seen the 1 minute after the crash, his evaluation would have been higher.

Li Junhao smiled and followed him into the office building. He had not had much contact with this naval attaché before, but now he found that he was an interesting person, full of arrogance. He was a typical American soldier, confident and arrogant, and he couldn't look down on him at all. The armies of other countries, let alone ordinary foreigners, are not needed.

When I returned to the Business Office, I was about to say hello to my boss, Miss Hempley, but I was informed that the Consul General, Mr. Ayres, wanted to see him immediately.
-
Entering the Consul General's office on the third floor, he saw that Sheen was also there. He said hello in a dignified manner: "Mr. Ayers, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, sit down! We need to talk carefully about today's events." Ayres pointed to the single sofa next to him.

"Okay, sir." Li Junhao responded, first nodding to Sheen who was sitting on the other single sofa opposite and saying: "Mr. Sheen, thank you for your help today." Then he sat down.

Sheen nodded and said: "Nothing, this is my job, but I also want to have a comprehensive understanding of today's events."

The secretary came in and brought two cups of coffee to Ayers and Sheen, and black tea to Li Junhao. This treatment made Sheen's eyes narrow, and he didn't know what to think of.

"Tell me about it!" Ayres said.

"This is what happened..." Li Junhao started from when his car was hit and explained the process clearly.

After listening, Ayers pondered for a moment and asked, "Xian, what do you think?"

"I think Pan Sen's judgment is right." Sheen said, "The killer should be Japanese. As for the reason for the assassination, it should be revenge for Pan Sen's behavior at the police station a few days ago..."

Ayers was noncommittal and asked: "Little Ogg, do you think this is the reason too?"

"What Mr. Sheehan said makes sense. This should be the direct inducement." Li Junhao said, "However, I think there should be another important reason, and that is that the Japanese are eager to control the concession..." "Oh? Why do you say that?" It was Sheen who asked this time, and Ayers nodded to express that he wanted to know.

Li Junhao thought for a moment and said, "Gentlemen, can I sort it out from the beginning?"

"Of course, I want to hear your point of view." Ayers nodded.

Sheen also nodded. His boss had already spoken, so of course he would not object.

After Li Junhao drank the lipstick tea, he organized the speech: "In 1937, the Sino-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way. At the end of the year, the Battle of Shanghai ended. The Japanese army won the victory and occupied the Chinese border. They also took the opportunity to move the concession north of the Suzhou River to the north. The occupation of District and East District caused our concession to lose half of its territory, and we and the British chose to acquiesce due to various reasons. Now it seems that this was a policy mistake.

"Even after taking such a big advantage, the Japanese are still not satisfied. On the one hand, they still occupy the seats on the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, and on the other hand, they have reached into the police department. They not only arranged for a veteran spy to serve as the deputy director, but also introduced a large number of There are currently more than 600 Japanese patrol officers, which is more than one-eighth of the number of patrol officers! Moreover, their ambitions can be seen in the positions assigned to these Japanese patrol officers - Special Department, Detective Division, Criminal Investigation Department, etc. Wait!
“If this situation continues for another year, I’m afraid the entire police force will be controlled by the Japanese, and what I experienced today may not be an exception.

"A few days ago, two female students from Fudan University who I just met asked me for help, saying that their female teacher was arrested by the traitor agent No. 76 in the concession. In order to find out the situation, I first called the General Duty Office of the Police Department. I made a phone call and asked them not to hand it over for the time being. I went over immediately to learn about the situation...

"But what I didn't expect was that when I rushed to the central arresting room, they were actually in the process of handing over, and they didn't take my words seriously at all! Then they took action in anger, causing a conflict.

"Two gentlemen, I admit that I am young and energetic, and my behavior is a bit excessive, but I feel that I have done nothing wrong. That is, if our Consulate General does not act tougher, will we still have a place in the concession?"

Ayers and Sheen looked at each other, and both saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes. They listened to these words. Over the past year or so, the Ministry of Industry Bureau and the Police Department have been infiltrated by the Japanese to a great extent, which has threatened the US government. interests, measures must be taken.

After Li Junhao waited for the two of them to digest for a while, he continued: "It should be because I injured a Japanese patrolman and several traitorous spies that day, which led to the assassination incident this morning. On the surface, this is an act of revenge. , but if you think about it deeper, it should be the Japanese who are declaring that they are the most powerful in the concession, and anyone who dares to disobey their will will be eliminated!

"If it was the Japanese actions that affected our country's interests before, then now the Japanese are threatening us Americans from personal safety! Just like this morning's assassination operation, they first caused a car accident and then sent four gunmen to shoot Gun, and there are a large number of Japanese patrols behind me. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have been in trouble by now!
"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Mr. Ayers. If you hadn't specially arranged for Corporal Yuri to protect my safety, it would have been impossible for me to escape such a careful assassination! Unfortunately, Yuri was seriously injured. Don’t know how he is doing now?

"Mr. Ayers, please send someone to inquire!"

Ayres nodded, called his secretary, and asked her to call the hospital and report the situation.
