The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 558 Agree to the Plan
Fu Xiaoan’s death inspired him. Although he didn’t know who killed Fu Xiaoan, starting from the inside was a way out.

This is how Fu Xiaoan died, and so did Tang Shaochuan...

Start with the people around Zhang Xiaolin.

After Chen Mo expressed his thoughts, Xia Jiesheng and later Du Zhenshan both applauded. Zhang Xiaolin is now extremely afraid of death, and it would be very difficult to assassinate him from the outside. If they start from the inside, that might be the only way.

……

"Cheng Mo, after our superiors carefully studied your idea, they think you can give it a try, but you have to tell me the truth." Wen Qiu met with Cheng Mo and conveyed the organization's order.

"Excuse me, Senior Brother?"

"Call me comrade."

"Comrade Wenqiu, please ask."

"Do you want to put the branch of the Concession Police Headquarters under your leadership first?" Wen Qiu asked very seriously and solemnly.

"Brother, how could you have such an idea? We are two different branches from the Concession Police Headquarters. I have never thought of merging them into our branch. Even if we want to merge them, it is the superiors who put forward the overall plan. If we put forward the plan on our own, it will be like I want to establish my own faction." Cheng Mo said, "You are asking me to make a mistake."

"really not?"

"Really not. This is what I think. Our plan is based on the strength of the Military Control Commission and the local Green and Red Gangs. Our people can blend in with the two identities, but the Police Headquarters can't. They have to be independent. What if, I mean what if we fail, the Police Headquarters branch can still be preserved and will not be implicated by us, but we can ask our superiors to let the Police Headquarters branch cooperate with our actions at critical moments..."

"Are you anticipating defeat before even considering victory?"

"This matter is too big. We must be prepared for both situations. And the number of people who know about this plan cannot exceed one hand." Cheng Mo said, "Only those who are involved in the core of the plan are qualified to know."

"So how many people know about it now?"

"Do you mean in Shanghai, or everyone?"

"In Shanghai?"

"Two, you and I, there may be two or three more people involved in the future." Cheng Mo said after thinking for a while.

"Who?"

"My only superior in the Shanghai Military Control Commission is Xu Baichuan. He is responsible for my contact with Chongqing. Also, there is Wan Molin, Lu Jingshi or Xu Caicheng."

"Does your sister know?"

"I don't know yet, but I don't think I can hide it from her."

"And the people under you, will they watch you betray the country and become a traitor to the Japanese?" Wen Qiu asked.

"I will find a way to explain to these people and tell them some of the truth, but not all of it." Cheng Mo said after thinking for a while.

“Wouldn’t the right to know then be expanded?”

"Only a few people know the core plan, but that doesn't mean we can't reveal some information to them," Cheng Mo explained.

"What do you do next?"

"Persuade the isolated army camp to surrender."

"Don't you know what the consequences would be if the flag of the Lone Army Camp fell?" Wen Qiu was shocked when he heard this. "If it was a year ago, the impact would be huge, but it may not be the case now. Can the surrender of the Lone Army Camp be as destructive as the surrender of the Wang family?"

"If you can convince the isolated army camp to surrender, it will certainly be a great achievement for the Japanese and puppet forces. It is crucial for you to gain their trust." Wen Qiu nodded, acknowledging Cheng Mo's analysis.

"However, now is not the best time. We have to wait a little longer. But I can use this idea to untie the isolated army camp and make their situation a little better. In this way, my persuasion will become more credible."

"Well, their situation is indeed very difficult. If you can take the initiative to make a promise, this is one way. After all, you have placed a lot of soldiers from the isolated army camp under your command. Once this kind of trust relationship is established, they will be more likely to believe you, be easily persuaded by you, and be more credible."

"After Nishiojizo's assassination attempt, he began to doubt and distrust the Japanese military intelligence department in Shanghai. He asked a colonel named Takeda Takeo who was close to him to contact me. From what he said, it seemed that he hoped I could provide him with intelligence about Shanghai," said Cheng Mo.

"Did they take the initiative to propose this?"

"Yes, if it wasn't for his good luck, Nishiojizo would have almost died this time, and the intelligence department didn't have any warning at all. The intelligence department is controlled by Itagaki, and it's not easy for him to intervene directly, but his distrust of Itagaki is already obvious. I guess he will rarely come to Shanghai in the future, but he needs to know about the slightest movement in Shanghai, so someone needs to provide him with intelligence."

"He trusts you that much?"

"He doesn't have many choices. After all, I saved his life and I am a secret agent for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Many of my interests are in Shanghai, and I don't have a particularly strong backer. He is willing to be my backer, so I naturally know how to choose."

"You were developed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but you are associated with Nishiojizo. Won't you be suppressed?"

"Suppress me? Why should I be suppressed? Exposing my identity as a 'traitor' will not do them any good." Cheng Mo said, "Even if I work for Xiweisi Zao, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs won't say anything. Soldiers may change but the camp remains the same. I am rooted in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. What are they worried about?"

"Boy, you really understand the Japanese mindset." Wen Qiu laughed.

"By the way, regarding the issue of Chiyoko's organizational transfer, our superiors have already communicated with the Communist International. They feel that if it is necessary for work, she can be transferred, but we also have to seek her own wishes." Wen Qiu remembered that there was such an important thing that she had not told Cheng Mo.

"Should Mr. Nakamura talk to her about this matter, or should I talk to her?" Cheng Mo asked.

"If you talk to her, it means you are voluntarily admitting your identity?" Wen Qiu asked in surprise.

"You can ask Mr. Nakamura to make an appointment with him, and I will go over to talk to her." Cheng Mo said.

"Juxiang Book House?"

"It can be there. This is also where I met Mr. Nakamura." Cheng Mo nodded.

"Okay, I'll ask for Nakamura's advice on how to resolve this matter perfectly." Wen Qiu said, "After your identities are revealed to each other, there will be a change in your working relationship in the future. You need to grasp this degree well."

"I know. I'll go back then." Cheng Mo nodded. It was time for him to go back. His wife agreed to be discharged from the hospital today, and as a husband, he had to pick her and the child up.

……

Fusheng Pharmacy.

"Captain, I heard that Cheng Mo's wife and child will be discharged from the hospital today, and he will definitely go to pick them up. This opportunity is rare..."

Chen Mo glared at his men and said, "Don't let his wife and children suffer. Even if we kill Cheng Mo, the traitor, today, if we hurt his wife and children, are you and I still considered human beings?"

"But Captain, it would be a shame to let go of such a good opportunity."

"You can think of it, but he can't. Considering how much he values ​​his wife and children, he must have made arrangements in secret a long time ago." Chen Mo glared at his men again.

To attack Cheng Mo in public would be to seek death.
