The spy career of a surgeon

Chapter 328 Old Friends
The news that Zeng Haifeng, the most mysterious chief of the Military Control Commission’s Shanghai Station, had been arrested spread throughout No. 76 in an instant!
The staff of No. 76 rushed out of their offices to see what the stationmaster of Shanghai Station looked like, just like they were looking at a gorilla.

Although they had seen the photos, the real person and the photo were different. Based on Zeng Haifeng's position, he was already the biggest figure in the Military Control Commission in Shanghai.

The arrest of Zeng Haifeng, coupled with Yingzo's recent achievements, foreshadowed the complete destruction of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station.

This time it is real destruction, there will be absolutely no changes.

This is a great joy for No. 76.

Future work will definitely be much easier. All we need to do is look for the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Red Party. The Military Bureau of Investigation will definitely not be able to cause any trouble in the short term.

"Take him to the interrogation room."

Li Liqun's brother-in-law directed the operatives to take Zeng Haifeng to the dungeon, and then he went to Li Liqun's office himself.

Li Liqun had heard the noise a long time ago and stood at the second floor door to watch. When his brother-in-law ran upstairs, Li Liqun smiled and praised: "Well done, is it going well?"

"It went smoothly. Who could have thought that the French would sell their information? The old man was hiding at home and busy sending telegrams. He didn't even know we were here. It wouldn't take much effort to catch him. Here, this is the telegram we found."

Li Liqun looked at the message and smiled: "The Secretary-General called to praise No. 76. I told him that you discovered it. I'll remember this favor to you."

"Thank you, brother-in-law."

Although the Secretary-General is replaced frequently, as long as he is alive, he has great power in Shanghai. Now that Zeng Haifeng has been arrested, the value of this favor has greatly increased.

The brother-in-law smiled happily and jokingly said, "How do you greet me? Do you want to use direct tactics, or do you want to use your tricks to persuade me to surrender and then talk about it?"

"Lock him up. I still need to report this matter to Fujita first. Let him decide for himself."

After giving the instructions, Li Liqun went into the house and called Zhou Qinghe.

Zhou Qinghe replied, "I'll come over later."

"Then I'll be waiting."

"What did Fujita say?" The brother-in-law walked in.

"Say you'll come over later."

Hearing this, the brother-in-law also sat down on the sofa: "Brother-in-law, the people downstairs just told me that Zeng Haifeng has been arrested. Do you want to celebrate tonight? What do you think?"

"Is everything over? When are we going to celebrate?" Li Liqun scolded with a stern face. After scolding, he thought about how the people at No. 76 were under a lot of pressure recently, so he relaxed: "We'll see what happens. If Fujita doesn't do anything weird, you can take them out for dinner and some dancing."

"Okay." The brother-in-law smiled happily, "If you ask me, Fujita is really good. In comparison, Kagesawa is a little bit inferior."

"You're not a good talker. But you reminded me that I still have to report this matter to Yingzo." Li Liqun picked up the phone and made a call while speaking.

"Why tell him? He's running around sick, it's scary."

Li Liqun rolled his eyes at him and let him think for himself: "Now Yingzuo is suppressed by Fujita, but in the final analysis, Yingzuo is the director of the Special Affairs Committee and our immediate superior! If you don't tell him, when Fujita leaves, you will inevitably suffer from Yingzuo's mistakes."

As we were talking, the phone was connected.

Li Liqun immediately put on a smiling face: "General Yingzuo, Zeng Haifeng has been arrested."

"What did you say? Zeng Haifeng was arrested?" Yingzo's serious voice came from the phone.

"Yes, just now, someone was brought into our No. 76."

"How did you catch him?" Li Yingzuo's voice was a little hurried.

Li Liqun talked about Zhou Qinghe's actions.

Yingzuo immediately asked back: "You mean the French can open their household registration database for you 76 to check? How is that possible? Did he say how he did it?"

"No, you may need to ask Section Chief Fujita about this matter yourself. He will come to Room 76 later. Do you want to come?"

"I am coming over now!"

"Then I'll wait for you."

Li Liqun hung up the phone and said to himself: "I'm curious too, how did Fujita get the French? If there is such a way, do you think we can use it in the future?"

"Hey." The brother-in-law's eyes lit up, "Brother-in-law, you're right, if we can get Fujita's method, then all the information in Shanghai will be open to us in the future."

Li Liqun smiled slightly, looked at him and said, "Do you know the benefits of asking Yingzuo to come? Fujita won't tell us, and we can't ask."

The brother-in-law praised, "You are old and wise! You have calculated everything for Fujita Kagesa."

Half an hour later, in interrogation room No. 76, Li Liqun led the way and Zhou Qinghe walked into the interrogation room.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zeng Haifeng being beaten.

The whip made his skin burst and blood flow.

He gave the order, and now when Zeng Haifeng saw him, his eyes were full of hatred and anger, and the effect was very good. There was absolutely no possibility of him showing a hint of relief.

"Director, Section Chief Fujita." The younger one stood up and bowed.

Zhou Qinghe waved his hand, stood in front of the hung Zeng Haifeng, and greeted him with a smile.

"Chief Zeng, long time no see."

Zeng Haifeng's eyes were full of fire, but he managed to smile, but it was just a sneer: "Should I call you Brother Zhou, or should I call you Section Chief Fujita?"

"Haha, we are old acquaintances. You can call me whatever you want." Zhou Qinghe sat in the main seat and said calmly, "I knew you were in Shanghai before, but after the Battle of Songhu, I remember you were exposed. I thought you went back. I didn't expect that Boss Dai would let you stay in Shanghai. Section Chief Zeng is really skilled and courageous. He is courageous."

Zeng Haifeng sneered: "Please flatter me more. I love to hear it."

"Hahahaha." Zhou Qinghe laughed, then his smile faded slightly, "Why bother? Times are different now. It will be painful to make such a joke here."

"Do you think I'm afraid?" Zeng Haifeng said with a mocking look, "I was exposed three years ago, and I still dared to stay in Shanghai. I have been ready to die. Your tricks may work for others, but they have no effect on me. Are you just tickling me?"

Zeng Haifeng glanced at the whip with contempt.

"Really? Then I won't be polite." Zhou Qinghe said expressionlessly: "Fight."

Damn it, are you serious?! Zeng Haifeng cursed in his heart, I told you I'm not afraid, I gave you a way out, but you still hit me, is it necessary?
Of course Zeng Haifeng has understood Zhou Qinghe's self-torture trick by now, but no matter how fearless he is, it will hurt if he is hit on the body, so he just does it with his intention. Zeng Haifeng is so angry that his teeth are itching.

There was a look of contempt on his face as he stared at Zhou Qinghe, full of provocation.

Zhou Qinghe didn't care. There was a big enough gap in status between them that he didn't care about such ridicule at all. However, Zeng Haifeng's look irritated the thugs. The thugs liked people with personality like this kind of people.

Add some seasoning to the whip, and whip it hard, showing your ruthless nature!
Snapped!
Zeng Haifeng endured the pain and could only groan again and again, standing firm without calling out for mercy.

Zhou Qinghe just watched this scene without asking any questions. He was not worried that Zeng Haifeng could not bear it. Although he was also arrested and imprisoned in No. 76, this was a matter of belief. As long as Zeng Haifeng knew he was there, he would know that he would not die. Now Zhou Qinghe was Zeng Haifeng's belief, so Zhou Qinghe was sure that Zeng Haifeng had a very strong endurance.

After fighting for a while, the door opened and Yingzuo came.

"Is he Zeng Haifeng? Has he spoken?" Yingzo asked.

Li Liqun even said that Section Chief Fujita didn't ask any questions at all and was just busy smoking.

After all, he is the stationmaster of Shanghai Station. Even if he was arrested, he must have some secrets.

If he were the one to handle the interrogation, he would definitely have to treat the person with courtesy and not give him any chance at all.

Did Zeng Haifeng offend Fujita before?
"At the beginning, Section Chief Fujita was in charge of the interrogation, and I came here to observe." Li Liqun explained the situation clearly.

The sound of whipping was constant.

This kind of whipping was common inside No. 76 and it was a normal entrance ceremony, so no one reacted. Yingzou, who was standing by, watched with a blank expression for ten minutes.

I can't hold it in any longer.

He was not interested in the trial, and he was not here to watch some whipping game.

"Fujita, why would the French Concession allow you to go in and look through their household registration books?"

"I went to have afternoon tea with the French Consul General, and then he agreed." Zhou Qinghe glanced at Yingzuo, gave him a playful smile, and raised his eyebrows.

"When did the French need your cup of tea?"

Yingzo was angry when he saw Zhou Qinghe like this.

With Zeng Haifeng's arrest, he knew that his dispute with Fujita had come to an end. He had lost miserably and was completely defeated.

As for arresting the Military Control Commission, although he also arrested a member of the Military Control Commission, it was only Zeng Haifeng. Fujita's bargaining chips were more important than all the people he arrested combined.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters, with the arrest of Zeng Haifeng, the Military Control Commission's Shanghai station was bound to go bankrupt. Fujita's achievement had become a foregone conclusion. However, since he did not make any contribution in the final stage, he was not punished. This was only because the military saw that the Shanghai riot was quelled by Fujita.

Simply put, it was Fujita who saved him. He was really unwilling to accept this, and he wanted to take action at the critical moment, but Fujita acted too quickly, and the step of arresting Zeng Haifeng did not give him any chance to act.

Even if Zeng Haifeng died in the dungeon now, it is a done deal.

But he just couldn't understand why the French Empire was willing to open its household registration database to Fujita Kazukiyo?

This is simply unreasonable.

If you can look through the French household register, who here can't catch Zeng Haifeng? Anyone can.

You can lose, but your thoughts must be clear, and you must die with understanding.

He suppressed his anger and said, "I'll ask you for advice, okay?"

"Hey, be nicer. I'm a soft-hearted person." Zhou Qinghe's tone became more normal. He turned back to look at Zeng Haifeng who was being whipped and said, "Yingzuo-kun, do you usually read the newspaper?"

"Of course it depends on what happens."

"Then listen to the radio?"

"Occasionally."

"How long has it been since you last listened to international news?"

"What exactly do you want to ask?"

Zhou Qinghe smiled faintly and said, "If you have been paying attention to the international situation, you should know that Germany swept the British and French coalition forces on the European battlefield, captured the famous French fortress Sedan in two days, and crossed the Meuse River on the third day of the war. Now the German army is unstoppable in France.

And just this afternoon, just 40 days after the war started on the Western Front in Europe, France had been completely defeated by Germany and 300 million troops were wiped out.

At this point, the German army is probably already celebrating with champagne in Paris.”

"How is it possible?!" Yingzuo was suddenly shocked: "Are you serious? That's 300 million troops. How could Germany solve it so quickly?"

40 million in 300 days!
Yingzuo did pay attention to the international situation, but it must be admitted that his energy during this period was always focused on Shanghai, on how to deal with the Military Control Commission and how to guard against Fujita Kazukiyo, and he did not have a first-hand grasp of the international situation.

This was not his fault. He was the director of the Special Committee in charge of Chinese affairs, and the international situation was not his strong point.

But when he heard what Zhou Qinghe said, that 300 million troops were wiped out in just 40 days, he couldn't believe it.

This is France, the big winner of World War I!
"Three million troops, just gone like that?"

Not only Yingzuo was shocked, but also Li Liqun and his brother-in-law next to him.

In the hearts of the Chinese people, France is an extremely powerful country. Even though the Japanese invaded the concession during the Battle of Shanghai, it was only the British concession and they did not dare to touch the French concession at all.

The fact that France could own such a large concession in Shanghai is enough to prove how strong its deterrent power was, but now France is actually about to be defeated, which sounds magical.

"Isn't it magical? I feel it's magical when I hear it."

Zhou Qinghe smiled and said, "After all, there are 300 million people. It is unrealistic for Germany to kill them all.

So it was not that the German army directly defeated France, but that the French army decisively chose to surrender when it still had a large number of complete combat forces.

I know you are curious, why would you surrender if you can fight?
The reason is very simple. There is also a red storm going on in France, and the trend is spreading more and more.

The ruling capitalists considered that if they continued the war by force, they would only lose more interests. Even if they succeeded in repelling Germany, it would at most be a miserable victory.

Their strength at that time made it possible for them to be overthrown by the Red Group.

So at this time, when Hitler extended an olive branch to them, as long as the French government declared surrender, the interests of the rulers would not be harmed and their assets would be fully protected.

So they chose to surrender.”

"Just sell it like that?" The brother-in-law couldn't believe it, with a magical look on his face: "With millions of troops in hand, they surrendered? Are the French crazy?!"

Li Liqun was also confused and muttered something to himself.

But Yingzuo was a little bit convinced. First, Fujita Kazukiyo had no reason to lie to him. Second, Germany was indeed strong. Third, the dirty people in the upper class chose to preserve their own interests. It was entirely possible that they took such a move. It was not just France, but sometimes every country was the same. Didn't they also poison their own soldiers?
But he still didn't understand what this had to do with today's actions?
"You don't seem to have finished yet? What does this have to do with you?"

"Hmm." Zhou Qinghe nodded: "After talking about France, it's time to talk about Germany.

You probably haven't been paying attention to domestic military affairs recently or you've been away from the center for too long, so the news is not sensitive and your attention is only on China, right?
Not long ago, we sent an embassy to Germany to discuss a military alliance and joint advance and retreat agreement with Germany.

The negotiation of this agreement is going smoothly and now only the signing stage is left.

In the near future, the European battlefield will belong to Germany, and the Asian battlefield will be ruled by us, Japan. Germany needs us to contain the influence of Britain and the United States in Asia, and we need Germany to sweep across the European battlefield, and then point its troops at the Soviet Union, so that we can free up our hands to clean up the various territories of Britain and the United States in East Asia.

It was under such circumstances that I asked the German consulate to help me.

It wasn't a big favor, I just asked the German consul to go with me to the French consulate and I spoke to the French consul. "

"What?"

"One is to ensure that their families can still live happily in France, and the other is that if Germany recruits soldiers in France, their fathers and sons will not be included."

Zhou Qinghe smiled after he finished speaking, "It's just a household registration check, a trivial matter, and the country will be ruined. Yingzuo-kun, if you were the French Consul General, would you agree?"

Yingzuo left, and he understood everything completely.

I am very willing, not at all unwilling.

He really felt that his loss was not unfair.

If we say that the vaccination plan that Fujita Kazukiyo came up with was based on financial ability, then anyone with the money could use this method, and this would make people feel that it is normal, because if he has money, he can do it.

But he asked himself that he could never have imagined that Fujita Kazuki would catch Zeng Haifeng now.

The international situation is here and available to everyone. At least he can get this information if he wants, and he can also get it with the help of the military, but the fact is that none of them seized the opportunity.

Fujita Kazukiyo was taken to Hankou by them and then transferred to Shanghai. Even in such a busy and chaotic situation, people still paid attention to this and took down Zeng Haifeng, who knew nothing about it, during the window period when the media had not yet reported it widely.

Yingzuo had nothing to say and accepted his defeat sincerely.

The brother-in-law and Li Liqun seemed to have listened to a big drama. The international situation that Zhou Qinghe explained to them really opened their eyes.

Can arrest be played like this?
"Then can we enter and leave French territory freely in the future?" The brother-in-law became interested.

Zhou Qinghe smiled slightly: "You are right, as long as the German Consul General gives you face."

My brother-in-law touched his nose, smiled awkwardly, and said nothing more, as he was happy in vain.

Who will save me?

Zeng Haifeng was about to cry. He didn't know how long he had been chatting with the other party, it felt like half a century had passed, and he was still being beaten!

Zhou Qinghe, you crazy bastard!
"Ugh!" Zeng Haifeng deliberately made the suppressed voice sound a little more miserable.

It’s not too big, but it does catch Zhou Qinghe’s attention.

Zhou Qinghe heard it and raised his hand.

Li Liqun immediately asked people to stop the action.

Zhou Qinghe looked at Zeng Haifeng who was breathing heavily and said, "Stationmaster Zeng, this beating is to repay your murderous intention towards me. During the Battle of Songhu, I was in charge of medical treatment in Hongkou and encountered multiple assassination attempts by your Military Control Commission sabotage team. You were the stationmaster at that time, right?

I can understand that we have different positions, but now that you are in my hands, don’t you let me vent my anger? Those times were really dangerous. "

Li Liqun understood immediately that he deserved to be beaten to death.

Zhou Qinghe stood up and said, "Director Li, come out with me."

At the door, Zhou Qinghe instructed Li Liqun: "Zeng Haifeng is a direct descendant of Chongqing Boss Dai. He must have a lot of secrets. He is also capable and will be of great use to us in stabilizing the situation in Shanghai in the future. I heard that you are good at persuading people to surrender. Wan Lilang is an example. Don't let me down."

Li Liqun nodded quickly: "I will do my best."

Leave the matter to Li Liqun and give him a chance to make a contribution. Zhou Qinghe still has to take control of the direction.

"This vaccination program costs a lot. I need to settle the account with the headquarters. I don't care about the Military Control Commission's lackeys in Zeng Haifeng's belly. You should first get the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station's property that he controls. I want to sell it all."

"Yes."

"Hurry up, Yingzuo's result this time will not be good. Whose Shanghai is Shanghai, Director Li, you have to know it clearly. Don't let me call you again."

"I understand. Everyone at No. 76 will follow your lead." Li Liqun bowed deeply.
