Agents of the Republic of China

The sun was shining brightly on Sunday morning. Sitting in the sunny garden cafe of Huizhong Hotel, one could not help feeling a little drowsy. The violinist was playing hard, but few people were seriously appreciating it.

Lin Xiaotang sipped his coffee, and told Hong Chawei who was opposite him in detail about the information he had obtained during this period of time about the movements of the Japanese army.

Hong Chawei whistled in satisfaction. He highly recognized the work efficiency of Lin Xiaotang and the organization he controlled. Since the situation in Europe deteriorated, the United States has paid special attention to all the movements of Japan, the only military power in Asia.

Germany, Italy and Japan have become close allies. Once Germany goes to war with Britain and France, the next move of Russia and Japan will attract much attention.Germany and Russia had already signed a non-aggression treaty, and after World War I, Japan and Russia also reached an armistice agreement. For this reason, Russia boldly deployed nearly 20 elite soldiers from Asia to deploy defenses on the Western Front.As for Japan, where will their next goal be?Should we continue to go north, or choose to go south and compete with Britain, France and the United States for Southeast Asia?This is what Americans are most concerned about right now.

"Old Hong, from the perspective of a friend, I want to remind your country. Japan's next strategic decision is probably to go south!" Lin Xiaotang looked at Hong Chawei's indifferent expression, and felt that his words were a little shallow Deep, obviously, the Americans have been evading this question intentionally or unintentionally. They prefer to believe that Japan will stick to the strategy of going north and fight the Russians to the death. And they obviously tasted the benefits from the so-called appeasement policy. I would rather believe in my own wishful thinking.

Lin Xiaotang waved his hand, "Forget it, pretend I didn't say it!" There was obviously some dissatisfaction in his tone.

Hong Chawei smiled, "My dear Lin, it's not that I don't care about your suggestion, but there must be some actual and reliable evidence before I can convince those bureaucrats that our suggestion is correct, don't you think so?"

Lin Xiaotang nodded helplessly.

"Now, tell me what I can do to help you, my friend!" Honchawi spread his hands.

"After Johnny's training is over, I want to give them a work contract, is that okay?" Lin Xiaotang looked at Hong Chawei.

Hong Chawei was obviously interested, "Why? Haven't all your subordinates received training? What's the point of them staying?"

Lin Xiaotang smiled, "Old Hong, I am not only those subordinates in the mountains, but also some at sea. They are officers of the Marine Corps. I think they may be more proficient in naval warfare, right?"

Hon Chavey chuckled, his eyes narrowed, "Training the navy? Is your appetite too big?"

Lin Xiaotang shrugged his shoulders, "You think too highly of me, it's just a small team!"

Hong Chawei nodded, "No problem, but you have to guarantee that this squad will participate in the operations of the US military at some point in the future. Of course, this is just in case. I would rather this moment never comes. .”

"I understand what you mean." Lin Xiaotang replied with satisfaction: "I have another request?"

"The last one for today, are you sure?" Hong Chawei looked at Lin Xiaotang helplessly.

"I would like to ask, have you deployed manpower in the police stations of the public concession and the French concession?"

……

A car was driving towards Yuyuan Road at high speed. She Aizhen (Note [-]) in the car had disheveled hair and an angry face. The driver and bodyguards in front were trembling, fearing that something bad would happen, and they didn't even dare to vent their anger.

Panting heavily, She Aizhen straightened her hair.A little dancing girl dared to seduce her man, Wu Sibao, and when she got the news and came to him, she even dared to fight herself.

"Ah Qiang, I'll find someone to smash that Yangtze Ballroom for me tomorrow, and that dancer named Ma, you know what to do!" She Aizhen yelled aggressively.

The bodyguard Ah Qiang repeatedly agreed, "Madam, look, where are we going now, why don't we go home first?"

"Why do you go home? How do you go home like this! Go to the Bailemen Hair Salon in Jing'an Temple, and I'll go and get my hair done!"

……

She Aizhen's car was stopped before the cross-border construction road and Yuyuan Road Concession boundary.A British white police officer led two White Russian patrols and seven or eight Chinese patrols to check the passing vehicles here.

The Belarusian patrol signaled the driver to turn off the engine and get out of the car for inspection.She Aizhen was full of impatience, "Check what to check, how many times I pass here every day, I haven't seen you check it!"

The Chinese patrol next to him saw that it was vehicle No. 76, and the woman sitting in the car was Wu Sibao's wife, She Aizhen, and hurried forward to remind the Belarusian police.

The British police officer stared, and cursed in his half-baked Chinese: "The order from above, from now on, all vehicles entering the public concession will be inspected, all weapons carried will be detained, and they will not be allowed to enter the concession. Something went wrong. , are you in charge or am I in charge?"

The Chinese police officers were speechless for a moment, and retreated in despair.

The Belarusian police forcefully asked She Aizhen, the driver, and bodyguards to get out of the car for inspection.

She Aizhen was already full of anger, but now that she was stopped by the police outside the lease, she became even more angry. She yelled at the driver, "My mother has guns in the car, don't care what they are doing, break in!"

Helpless, the driver had no choice but to step on the accelerator and rush directly to the checkpoint.

The white British police officer turned pale with fright, and in a panic wanted to jump to the side and rolled on the spot, only to escape the impact of the car.Get up and shout hoarsely: "Shoot, stop them!"

The Chinese policemen wanted to dissuade them, but the two Belarusian policemen still opened fire, and She Aizhen's driver and bodyguard also gritted their teeth and pulled out their pistols to sweep at the policemen.

A Belarusian policeman and several Chinese policemen immediately fell into a pool of blood.

The white British police officers organized all their forces to block the attack, firing random shots, and immediately smashed She Aizhen's Ford car into a sieve. The driver and bodyguard were shot repeatedly, killing them instantly. The car also crashed into the residential houses on the roadside, emitting black smoke. stopped.

The white British police officer opened the car door and grabbed She Aizhen, who was already pale with fright, from the car. "Immediately send her to the police station and sue her for ramming the checkpoint without authorization and intentionally killing people!"

……

The gunshots from Jing'an Temple shook the whole of Shanghai, and within a short while, the news that She Aizhen was arrested by the International Settlement spread throughout everyone's alleys.

When Wu Sibao got the news, he rushed into the International Settlement with two truckloads of heavily armed men.

The Jing'an Temple Patrol House was on the verge of an enemy, and a large number of people were transferred from the public concession to prevent Wu Sibao from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

The two groups of people confronted each other right in front of the gate of the police house.

At this time, Li Shiqun and the Japanese came forward.After some bargaining, the British and the French finally chose to give in. Two hours later, She Aizhen was released, and under the protection of Wu Sibao and the brigade, she swaggered away from the International Settlement.

……

A week after this, the police officers in the International Settlement, who were full of resentment, began to restrict the activities of No. 76 personnel in the concession. Melee.

Within a week, more than a dozen people were assassinated by the patrols in the public concession. The patrols dared not go out to patrol the streets. Thieves and robbers ran rampant, and the people in No. 76 were rampant in the concession with guns.The instigator of this incident, one of the parties involved, the British white police officer fled back to his hometown after the accident, and has not been heard from since then.

The concession government had no choice but to ask the British Navy to step in and send a large number of sailors to the concession. Only then did the situation be suppressed, and the concession gradually regained its calm.

Lin Xiaotang looked at this series of situations and nodded frequently. Thus, the enmity between the concession forces and No. 76, especially Wu Sibao, was resolved. From now on, it would be impossible for No. 76 to carry out unscrupulous activities in the concession.Although Lin Xiaotang had a premonition that the concession would be occupied by the Japanese sooner or later, at least for now, No. 76 could no longer do things as he wanted in the concession.

And this layout is mainly aimed at Wu Sibao.The more people he offended, the closer he was to his death.

……

The strong tea fragrance filled the whole room, Zhuang Chong first handed the brewed tea to Lin Xiaotang's hands.Lin Xiaotang looked at the exquisite tea set, and suddenly had a bitter face, "Mr. Zhuang, this is not enough for one bite!"

Zhuang Chong first suppressed his smile, and blamed: "This is called tea ceremony, it is for people to experience the meaning and artistic conception, not for you to quench your thirst!"

When Zhuang Chongxian asked Lin Xiaotang to meet this time, he actually had no idea, so he came to ask Lin Xiaotang for advice.Their main ally, Ding Mo Village, has been kicked out of No. 76 by Li Shiqun. Currently, except for No. 76 Nanjing Station, which is still under Ding's control, all other forces are accepted by Li Shiqun.And under the planning of Li Shiqun, Zhou Fohai's current attitude is also worth pondering, which means he is watching from the sidelines.If these two people were missing, only Zhuang Chongxian and Lin Xiaotang would be the main forces fighting against Li Shiqun. Zhuang Chong was the first to bear the brunt of Li Shiqun's provocation.

Lin Xiaotang smiled lightly, "Mr. Zhuang is overthinking. Li Shiqun's performance during this time is perfect. It's not that he changed his temperament. It's because of the threatening situation that he had to make a choice. Once Director Ding is promoted to the Minister of Police, then Li Shiqun will be the actual controller of No. 76, which Li Shiqun is absolutely unwilling to accept, so in order to survive, he can only fight hard. Next, if my guess is correct, it will be Li Shiqun's most proud period, no In the event of an accident, the Minister of Police is also in his pocket."

"Then what should I do?" After hearing Lin Xiaotang's analysis, Zhuang Chongxian's face became even more ugly.

Lin Xiaotang smiled and continued: "Mr. Zhuang, don't worry, the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change. If you climb to a higher position, once Li Shiqun's nature is revealed, what will happen? It shouldn't be hard to imagine, right?"

Zhuang Chongxian asked suspiciously: "You mean...?"

Lin Xiaotang only said seven words: "The heights are too cold!"
