The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 390 Subtle Node

Embassy of the Prime Minister of Japan in Shanghai, Office of the Minister of Intelligence.

River Prime Minister Tatsuo.

His face was a little gloomy. Although his office faced the Huangpu River, the curtains were kept closed all year round, regardless of spring or summer.

Those who do intelligence work don't like to expose themselves to the sun.

This is a special psychological suggestion.

"Inspector Cheng really said that?" Facing the somewhat reserved Chiyoko standing in front of him, Tatsuo Kawasaki asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, he got along with these people for a short time. In Sihang Warehouse, everyone was their own master and hostile to each other. These are all in the past. Now these people have been trapped in the lonely camp for two years. He wants to see us fight against each other. Peaceful sincerity," Chiyoko said.

The muscles in the corners of Hexiang Dafu's eyes twitched slightly. How dare a Chinese detective from the concession talk to him about this?
Does he have that qualification?
This must be someone like Boss Du who is qualified.

However, the information he had about Cheng Mo, especially about his social relationships, was very simple two years ago.

Otherwise, the Ministry of Intelligence would not raise this person's level of attention again and again.

Japan does not want to offend the British because of this. At least at this moment, they still need the British and American European powers to export their various strategic resources to maintain the consumption of the war.

Only Eiichi Iwai can coordinate this matter.

Of course, it’s not impossible.

Now that they suddenly intervene, I am afraid that the Army will be unhappy, as well as the Japanese Marine Corps in Sihang Warehouse.

But the relationship needs to be coordinated, and Cheng Mo's request is not too excessive.

Between countries, friendship and hatred are secondary, and interests are the most important.

……

As long as everyone in the Gujun camp is not released and only some ordinary officers and soldiers are selected, this problem is not big. The problem is how to resettle these people after they leave the Gujun camp?
If you continue to stay in the concession, you may become an unstable element...

Unless the Japanese army now sends troops to occupy the concession, it is impossible for the concession authorities to hand over the soldiers in the lone camp to the Japanese.

Especially as long as it is in the interests of the Japanese Empire.

This is equivalent to saying that the British will sever diplomatic relations with Chongqing.

Kawazo Tatsuo's return also put Iwai Eiichi in a difficult decision-making situation. The Japanese Consulate in Shanghai rarely intervened in the matter of the isolated army camp.

Cheng Mo didn't let Chiyoko say that he would accept a group of people. He was not that stupid. If the Japanese knew his thoughts, they might not have facilitated this matter.

"Okay, I will report this matter to Mr. Iwai, but I can't make a decision. Just ask him to wait and we will give him the news as soon as possible." Tatsuo, the Prime Minister of the River, said. He did not refuse. This matter is very big. He is stationed in Shanghai. The intelligence chief of the consulate cannot make the final decision and must report to the military attaché in Shanghai and Deputy Consul General Iwai in charge of intelligence work for decision-making.

But now it's different. There are all three religions and nine schools, including the literary and artistic circles, the industrial circles, the Qinghong Gang, the concession authorities, and even Chongqing...

They all seem to be inextricably related to this young detective.

Eiichi Iwai has no black-and-white ideas when it comes to intelligence. Even gray ones can be used, as long as they can be controlled.

The British don't have this idea yet. Even if they did, they would be stopped. This is a risk he doesn't dare to take.

This young man is by no means as simple as he seems on the surface. Otherwise, how could he have achieved so much in just two years?
Pusher, there must be a pusher behind him.

As long as the Japanese agree to release some officers and soldiers, the fate of these officers and soldiers is beyond their control.

After thinking again and again, Iwai Eiichi picked up the phone on the table and called Shigemitsu.

This call was naturally made to Ying Zuo. Ying Zuo is now solely responsible for negotiating with the Wang Puppet, and he has the right to speak and decide on the disposal of the Lone Army Camp.

After a moment, Yingzuo's voice came from the phone receiver.

Kagesa was also surprised that Iwai would call him. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has never had a good relationship with the General Staff Headquarters. The current foreign minister is Koshisaburo Nomura, who was born in the navy.

Today, Japan's overall domestic policy is to focus on resolving the incident in China, while adopting suppressive measures against the ambitious army.

As long as it can help solve China's problems, everyone above is willing to try, even if it is a small possibility.

After listening to Iwai Eiichi's appeal, Kage Sasaki felt that this was not an unacceptable condition.

In the solitary camp, these low-level soldiers are not of particularly great value. The real value is the leader of this team, the unyielding colonel commander Xie Zhongmin.

However, Ying Zuo saw an opportunity, an opportunity to stir up conflicts within the Lone Army Camp.

If you agree to Cheng Mo's request, but it is impossible to release everyone, who will leave and who will stay, how to do this, maybe it will trigger a fight within the lone army camp.

This is simply an excellent opportunity to pry open the cracks within the Lone Army Camp.

Yingzuo Zhenzhao thought for a moment in his mind and quickly made a decision. This thing can be done, but how to do it needs to be carefully considered.

And, how to exploit this to your maximum benefit.

After receiving Kage Sa's approval, Eiichi Iwai put down the phone and immediately asked his secretary to call Tatsuo Kawasaki over for a face-to-face discussion.

On the other hand, after Yingzuo Zhenzhao put down the phone, he also felt that if this matter was done well, it might have great results.

At the moment, he is secretly negotiating with the Wang family for a follow-up supplementary treaty, but he has not given up secret contact with Chongqing, but is just hiding something from the Wang family.

If this matter is used to open up the situation, it might not be a bad thing.

Since we are going to engage in peace talks in secret, we have to show some sincerity, right?
This may be some kind of test from Chongqing.

The more he thought about it, the more it seemed possible. Ying Zuo paced back and forth in the room several times, and finally made up his mind to make this happen.

……

In fact, although Cheng Mo had some confidence as to whether the Japanese could agree to his condition, he was not that confident.

There is no guarantee that the Japanese will not make any guesses about his role between the British and the Chongqing authorities. He does not expect the British to keep this a secret for him.

Therefore, he must be mentally prepared that the Japanese already know his identity.

As long as the Japanese don't know that he is the military commander, then his value in the eyes of the Japanese will not change much.

As for his being recruited to work in the British intelligence service, the Japanese didn't care. After all, the Japanese's biggest opponent in East Asia was the United States, and his relationship with the British was quite ambiguous.

Cheng Mo is Chinese. Even if he is recruited to work in the British intelligence service, it will be difficult for him to gain the absolute trust of the British...

Not to mention full-fledged, he at least has certain strength and influence in the patrol room of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Especially after taking over some of Lu Liankui's forces, no one can suppress him except one or two veteran Inspector Hua. .

He does not touch those gray industries, which makes many Qinghong Gang bosses not hostile to him. Therefore, he is also very popular among the Qinggang Gang.

Especially his relationship with Lu Jingshi makes people understand that he may influence Mr. Du.

These are things that many people don’t see.
