The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 394 Behind the scenes
Among the 60 people released, one-third were old, weak, sick and disabled.

However, Cheng acquiesced. If these people continued to stay in the Lone Army Camp, they would probably not survive for long. If they came out now, they would at least be able to survive.

Although these people are national troops, they are all warriors who fought against Japan on the Songhu battlefield.

They shouldn't have ended up like this.

At the same time, when the Japanese see that these people are being released, they naturally won't pay too much attention to them. Even if these old, weak, sick and disabled people are released, how useful can they be?
As long as Xie Zhongmin and others don't come out, it won't be a big problem.

Free some people.

It is also to release some goodwill. Whether this goodwill is given to Cheng Mo, or to the military commander behind Cheng Mo and Chongqing, it depends on each person's understanding.

Cheng Mo knew very well that the Japanese were secretly still thinking about secret peace talks with Chongqing. They were now like headless flies, unable to connect with each other.

Because of Wang's relationship with the puppet, Chongqing publicly announced that it would not accept any conditions from the Japanese, and even diplomatic mediation was interrupted.

The Japanese really want to solve the China problem.

Cheng Mo is most likely a liaison between the British and military commanders. This is very normal in intelligence work.

Then, he joined the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry Bureau. He was related to the former security commander Yang Hu, and counting from Cheng Hua's relationship.

Naturally, the British also hope that the military commander will not cause a bloody storm in the concession, and they need someone to pass on the news.

It has nothing to do with anyone in the military.

Cheng Mo is Yang Hu's brother-in-law.

Cheng Mo had the experience of studying in Japan, and his grades were said to be quite good, and he had no special "anti-Japanese" remarks.

The conclusion is: no.

Their senior leaders are not fools and cannot see the domestic crisis and the greater ambitions they have in mind.

After entering the Police Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, he was quickly appreciated by the British and was sent to Hong Kong to participate in special training. He received feedback from Hong Kong.

Cheng Mo should have performed very well in training, and then he was recruited into the British intelligence service.

The Japanese secret service has already done research and judgment.

The reason is simple. Cheng Mo came back from studying in Japan. Although he briefly joined the Salt Bank, he was later left to work at the Sihang Warehouse.

In intelligence work, the existence of such gray figures is also necessary to avoid misjudgment by both parties.

Is Cheng Mo a military commander?

The Chinese battlefield contained too many Japanese troops, and what they gained and paid was far lower than what they wanted. Their goal was not just to stare at China, but also the stars and the sea.

The British then used their past social connections to connect with the military.

Therefore, wouldn’t it be nice to withdraw from the Chinese battlefield and invest limited troops into broader targets? The oil, food and rubber resources in Siberia and even Southeast Asia?
The Japanese navy could no longer hold back any longer. Seeing the army eating meat, they could only drink some soup from behind, but they were not full at all.

With this channel, the two sides can still test and communicate. After all, the British are not at war with China.

Of course, the British should also be interested in the inextricable connections behind Cheng Mo, which is why they particularly favored him and attracted him to join.

He was just a caretaker and didn't play much of a role.

Sometimes, even if there are formal communication channels, there must be this kind of secret communication.

He even joined the Japanese news agency.

Therefore, the Japanese intelligence agency finally judged that Cheng Mo was someone who could win over and win over, especially after Chiyoko came to Shanghai.

After holding such a trump card in hand. The Japanese intelligence department determined that Chiyoko could be used to win Cheng Mo over and make the hero sad.

What's more, they were "couples" in the past.

In fact, after Chiyoko came to Shanghai, her interactions with Cheng Mo also created such an illusion for the Japanese intelligence agencies.

It's just that Chiyoko didn't take action against Cheng Mo for a long time, which made the intelligence department dissatisfied and felt that they needed to be pushed.

However, due to Chiyoko's special status, they naturally cannot give orders to her to actively "seduce" the other party in the same way as an intelligence officer.

So, they used such a "dirty" method.

Apparently it was a success.

We are all smart people. Since we understand each other's thoughts, it depends on the sincerity of both parties. It doesn't mean that I have to be blackmailed by you once we have sex.

This is just a "moral" stain, a mistake made by any man. As long as you don't care, what can others do to you?

Even if the British knew about this, they probably wouldn't say anything. Only by slowly tying them up could they achieve real control.

Therefore, Cheng Mo had the idea of ​​​​solitary military camp.

Naturally, the Japanese intelligence agency is also analyzing, what is his purpose of doing this, and taking the initiative to test how far they can go against him?
Or maybe the military commander behind him knew that he was being "calculated", and then used him to test him.

Lu Jingshi went to Gujun Camp. This was obviously the plan behind the military commander. Why did he do this?
Sure enough, the feedback came.

It has something to do with Suzuki in Hong Kong talking to people in Chongqing. Obviously, the military commander knows Japan's intentions.

Before secretly contacting Hong Kong, we first conducted testing in Shanghai.

Two seemingly unrelated things are actually closely related. No wonder Cheng Mo suddenly made such a request.

It's hard to say whether the British know that Hong Kong is under the control of the British. It's hard to say that they know something about it.

The Japanese intelligence agencies also know that if you say that a Chinese will be absolutely loyal to Japan, they themselves will not believe it when you say it.

Therefore, the only way is to use benefits or coercion.

Cheng Mo is different from those of the Wang family.

The Wang family chose to cooperate with Japan because they had their own so-called "ideals", and Japan also reached a so-called agreement with the Wang puppet for its own political purposes.

In fact, Japan would like to directly occupy and rule this land. However, they cannot do so at this stage. They must support a puppet regime to achieve the goal of slowly taking control. In this way, they can also learn from the Manchu Qing Dynasty and spend one or two generations. This land can be completely turned into Japanese.

Since we want to do this, we cannot use too harsh methods, nor can we use "black and white" to identify.

After all, Cheng Mo has no affiliation with their intelligence agency.

At best, it's a cooperative relationship.

If Cheng Mo didn't have this value, it would be a different matter.

Cheng Mo also wanted to test how much he was valued by the Japanese, and what did the Japanese want to use him for?
He didn't know much about this either.

He had discussed this issue with Wen Qiu and Tang Tao, and the conclusion was that due to the power struggle within the Japanese, they needed to find someone who could check and balance No. 76.

It's a bit ridiculous.

Cheng Mo doesn't think there are such far-sighted people among the Japanese, but in the long run, if he really becomes such a person, it will give him more room to perform.

Because he knew that sooner or later, the Japanese would occupy the concession, and then No. 76's power would expand rapidly, and then they would compete with the Japanese for power, and even they themselves would not be able to control it, and eventually they would ruthlessly get rid of Lin Shiqun.
