Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 359 The Central Plains War is over! Bao Guowei's plan!

Chapter 359 The Central Plains War is over! Bao Guowei's plan!
The city of Suzhou is called the Concession.

In 1897, the Qing Dynasty signed the "Fourteen Articles of the Suzhou Japanese Concession Regulations". Since then, Suzhou has become one of the five cities in China that were designated as concessions by the Japanese.

The concession was located in Qingyang, on the opposite side of the Xiangwang Temple outside Panmen.

Compared with the prosperity of the Shanghai International Settlement and the French Concession, this place seems much more desolate, with only a few lonely streets and some trees planted just a few years ago.

Liao Yaquan was very careful. After making sure that no one noticed him, he found a suit shop on the corner of the street and slipped in.

After receiving the code, Liao Yaquan met the Japanese spies stationed in Suzhou City.

This is a middle-aged man with a small mustache, wearing overalls and a suit, and his eyes are narrowed.

In the back hall of the suit shop, the middle-aged man sat down with Liao Yaquan, stretched out his hand and introduced himself.

“Nanzo-kun, this is the first time we meet, it’s a great honor.

My name is Inoue Ikki, and I will be the intelligence consul general of the Jiangnan region of China from now on. Please take care of me."

Nanzō Yunko is actually not a standard Japanese female name.

However, as an intelligence officer, it is reasonable to use it as a code name.

Inoue did not know Liao Yaquan's alias, so he called him Nan Zaojun.

Looking at the other person's greasy palms coated with Vaseline, Liao Yaquan obviously had no intention of shaking hands with the other person.

She simply nodded and introduced herself briefly, "Hello, Inoue-kun, Liao Yaquan."

Liao Yaquan took out a document, pushed it across the table to the other party, and introduced it.

"You should know my situation. Under the instructions of General Doihara, I am responsible for collecting intelligence on Bao Guowei in China. This is my recent achievement. I would like to trouble Mr. Inoue to convey it to you."

Inoue always had a smile on his face, but his eyes were narrowed into slits, making it difficult to tell his emotions.

However, Liao Yaquan's reaction just now obviously hurt his self-esteem.

As he took the document, he said calmly: "Nan Zaojun, I heard that you have already contacted the intelligence department when you were in Tianjin. The intelligence agencies of the Empire in China are very secretive. If there is no important information, please don't..."

But halfway through his words, they got stuck in his throat.

Inoue widened his eyes, turned the document back to the front, and read it carefully word by word.

Even his eyes were opened a crack, and the whites of his eyes could be vaguely seen.

"Nani!"

Inoue Ikki made a surprised sound. He did not expect that in Gusu, this Chinese boy named Bao Guowei actually had so many secrets.

After finishing reading the contents of the document, he looked at Liao Yaquan with a serious gaze and said.

"Nanzo-kun, this is very important information. Can you tell me specifically what the book "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" is about? Does it really have such a deep understanding of our empire as your file says?"

Inoue naturally knew the importance of this book, and most importantly, how could Bao Guowei know so many details of the imperial society?
The value of the intelligence during this period is enough to shock the Imperial Palace!

Liao Yaquan nodded slightly. She had a good memory and simply recounted the manuscript of "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" that she had seen.

The more Inoue listened, the more frightened he became.

Liao Yaquan commented in a calm tone: "I have only read one chapter of this book, but I can already feel that Bao Guowei understands our great Japanese nation. It can be said that there are many details. Through his analysis, I can even correspond with the people around me and myself. This is a terrible phenomenon. It means that Bao Guowei or the organization behind him has reached a level of understanding of us that is difficult to understand."

"That's right, I feel the same way." Inoue exhaled and said, "Just from the few words in your file, I can feel the horror of Bao Guowei. I used to find it hard to understand why the Empire cared about him, but now I don't dare to question it."

He said worriedly: "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword you mentioned can be said to have fully explained the spiritual outlook and weaknesses of the empire, which is something we have never done ourselves."

Inoue couldn't help but feel scared. It was like you accidentally found out that a stranger was writing a book about you.

Moreover, the content of the book is almost exactly the same as your daily actions and thoughts, which is a terrifying feeling.

"This book must not be published!" Inoue slammed the table and said angrily. "If this book is published, the information of our empire will appear in the study rooms of various countries and in front of every reader in the world. If someone uses this to develop a countermeasure against us, it will be a great worry!"

"Mr. Inoue means to stop the publication of this book or kill Bao Guowei?" Liao Yaquan asked back with narrowed eyes.

"What else? We should stop him! We must prevent this from happening. This is our duty!"

Inoue Kazuki was a little hysterical, and he no longer looked like the gentleman he had just pretended to be.

"You are wrong, Inoue-kun."

"What do you mean?" Inoue Kazuki looked at Liao Yaquan.

Liao Yaquan said slowly: "In my opinion, it is impossible to stop Bao Guowei from publishing this book. As far as I know, Bao Guowei has an extraordinary memory. Even if the manuscript is destroyed, he can still write another one in a short time."

She thought of Bao Guowei's special typewriter. With Bao Guowei's typing speed, it would not be difficult to type out another manuscript.

"Also, killing Bao Guowei won't solve the problem. It's obvious that the content of The Chrysanthemum and the Sword is not something that Bao Guowei could have written alone."

Inoue frowned and said, "You mean there's an organization behind him?"

"Yes." Liao Yaquan nodded and said. "With Mr. Inoue's wisdom, he should have figured out that the talent shown by Bao Guowei is not something that a person can do, especially his understanding of the empire. He has never been to the empire. Getting these from the information is nothing more than a trick to deceive children.

So I am more inclined to believe that there is a huge organization behind Bao Guowei, which is mysterious and powerful and can help him do things that ordinary people cannot do. "

Liao Yaquan's expression was calm, like that of a robot, which was in stark contrast to his reaction in front of Bao Guowei.

She said with a hint of sarcasm: "If we kill Bao Guowei, how can Inoue-kun guarantee that there won't be another more powerful Bao Guowei?"

"Of course I know this." Inoue Ikki replied with a stutter. "I haven't finished talking just now. The most important thing for Nanzao-kun is to find out the possible organization behind Bao Guowei. This will be your next task."

As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

I've heard for a long time that Nanzō Yunko has a strange personality, and today I finally got to experience it.

"I'm ready." Liao Yaquan took out another document and pushed it across the table.

Inoue Kazuki was stunned for a moment. He looked at the table and saw a piece of paper torn from a notebook.

There were some patterns and English words drawn on it with pencil, which were obviously copied by Liao Yaquan from somewhere.

"This..." Inoue Kazuki hesitated.

"This is a document that I secretly saw from Bao Guowei's study. Although it is just a blank piece of parchment, I instinctively feel that the symbols on it are not ordinary." Liao Yaquan paused and made his own guess.

"Or it may be related to the organization behind Bao Guowei."

Inoue Kazuki no longer looked down on it and carefully looked at the white paper. He frowned and recognized the English words on it. After seeing the logo, he almost couldn't hold the paper properly.

"What's wrong, Mr. Inoue, is there any problem? Do you know the origin of this organization?" Liao Yaquan asked with raised eyebrows.

Inoue Ikki exhaled, looked up at Liao Yaquan, and said very solemnly.

"Nanzo-kun, you have discovered something incredible."

"what???"

Liao Yaquan opened his mouth wide. Zhang Xueliang sent a telegram to the whole country to enter the customs.

When Bao Guowei saw the news in the newspaper, he felt as if he was in another world. The fresh ink made him feel a little unreal.

I never thought that I would be able to witness history happening.

Ta Kung Pao became the exclusive media reporting on this historical event.

I still remember that some time ago, I met Zhang Xueliang and gave him advice on the Central Plains War.

Somehow, my advice seemed to have indirectly contributed to the occurrence of this historical event.

In other words, not only can I not change history, but I have become a part of history?

For a moment, Bao Guowei didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

At this time, three full days had passed since Zhang Xueliang sent a telegram to the whole country to enter the customs.

Bao Guowei was alone in the study, reading the report in Ta Kung Pao.

Since Yan Xishan established the new government in Peiping, it has not only failed to bring any benefits to the Allied Forces, but has instead aggravated the conflicts between the various factions due to various power disputes and military pay issues.

The war in the Central Plains became increasingly serious.

Just when Yan Xishan was full of worry, Zhang Xueliang gave him a head-on blow, which made him so confused that he couldn't even climb onto his concubine's bed.

The Fengtian clique entered the Pass.

We were unstoppable along the way and there was little resistance at all.

The coalition forces couldn't even defeat Lao Chang on the front battlefield, let alone the rear area where the troops were scarce.

Zhang Xueliang sent a telegram to the whole country on the 18th, and sent troops into the country on the 19th. On the 21st, which was last night, he had captured Tianjin. Now the whole of North China would be in his hands.

In addition to Chiang Kai-shek's financial offensive, with Zhang Xueliang as the main investor, and then to the various generals of the Allied Forces, I don't know how much money was spent.

After hearing that the Fengtian Army had entered the pass, countless troops on the front line immediately defected.

The Central Plains War could no longer be fought.

It will take some time for the war to end. According to my memory, it will be completely over around November.

But during this period of time, there is no need to pay attention to it.

In the study, Bao Guowei let out a breath and put away the newspaper.

"It's finally over."

It was not until this era that he realized how terrible war was for the lower classes of people.

Sometimes, he didn't even dare to read the shocking reports in the newspapers.

Once you see it, you will feel deeply powerless.

But there is no point in worrying about these things. Living in the tide of the times, Bao Guowei can only do the best he can.

After thinking for a while, he gently opened the drawer beside him.

There were some white lime scattered along the edges of the wooden drawers.

After seeing this, Bao Guowei knew that Liao Yaquan had been there.

He pulled out the parchment, took out an iron basin, and burned it all clean.

Originally, Bao Guowei was thinking about writing something on it.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. Instead of writing something directly, it is better to leave a few symbols and let Liao Yaquan guess it himself. It seems more natural and credible.

“Free and Accepted Masons”

In fact, it is a brotherhood organization established in Europe in the Middle Ages with a strong religious color.

The legend about Freemasonry has been circulating among the people since modern times.

Members of the Freemasons include but are not limited to Voltaire, Mozart, Napoleon, Washington, Franklin, Conan Doyle, Einstein and so on.

It is said that this organization has great influence in the world and is related to many historical events.

There are even rumors that the establishment of Red Tsarist Russia is closely related to this organization.

In short, there are extremely rich and systematic conspiracy theories about Freemasonry and various mysterious organizations derived from it.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is the best thing for Bao Guowei to use this organization as a shield.

As for what outrageous things the Japanese will come up with after receiving this news, that is not something Bao Guowei can control.

But this is only part of Bao Guowei's plan.

As long as Liao Yaquan does not give up spying on him, Bao Guowei doesn't mind revealing any information later.

For example, a certain Japanese high-ranking official with a surname like Tojo, Doihara, or Matsui is a member of the Freemasons, specializing in collecting Japanese intelligence for the Freemasons.

During this period, Bao Guowei would be happy to see some internal strife among the Japanese if he could make them kill each other and kill a few Class A war criminals.

Of course, this is the best case scenario. To achieve this goal, the evidence produced must be enough to fool the Japanese.

Bao Guowei doesn't think the Japanese are easy to deceive.

Thinking of this, Bao Guowei even felt that Liao Yaquan's existence was of some use.

Because she looks shrewd, but not too smart?
Holding a pen, Bao Guowei kept tapping on the table, and a plan slowly took shape in his head.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Bao Guowei immediately collected his thoughts, tidied up the table and said.

"Who is it? Come in."

The maid in the mansion pushed the door open and said to Bao Guowei.

"Sir, the master wants you to come over."

Bao Guowei frowned, said nothing, and replied, "I see. I'll pack up and go over."

After briefly organizing his subsequent creative thoughts, Bao Guowei walked towards Zhang Taiyan's room.

But he felt a little strange because Zhang Taiyan usually slept at this time.
