Agents of the Republic of China

Lin Xiaotang was put on a ship going to the mainland of Japan in the early morning of the third day after arriving at the special high school.The ship was a freighter, but it has now been converted into a troop carrier.Strangely, there were not many soldiers and officers who returned to Japan on this ship. There were only more than 200 disabled Japanese officers and soldiers at all levels, all of whom were placed on the second floor of the ship, and the third and fourth floors at the bottom. It is completely closed, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter at all.

From this point of view, Kawakami Tadaki was quite polite to Lin Xiaotang. He was arranged in the cabin on the top floor of the ship, but he lost most of his personal freedom. Going for a walk must be accompanied by escorts from the special high school.

Dark clouds enveloped the entire sea surface, the sun was still dozing below the horizon, and the bright lights on the port illuminated the boats and boats undulating on the sea surface, but they were silent, giving the whole picture a sense of depression for no reason.

Wrapped in a thick windbreaker, Scarlett looked at the troop carrier named "Xili Maru" with a complex expression.She knew very well that Lin Xiaotang was on that boat right now, but she couldn't go on board to visit.Because she is still not sure what is the real purpose of arresting Lin Xiaotang in this extra-high class, and Lin Xiaotang's men have been dormant in Shanghai Beach for the past few days, so she can't get any useful information at all.Although she was burning with anxiety at this time, Scarlett had nothing to do, and this kind of suffering made her feel very uncomfortable.

Lights flickered in the distance, and a car drove up from far to near, and stopped not far from Scarlett. Rose ran over quickly, "He's coming!"

Scarlett nodded, took a suitcase from Rose, and walked slowly towards the car.

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in a black windbreaker came down, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair was messed up by the sea breeze. When he saw Scarlett approaching, he couldn't help smiling slightly, and bowed his head slightly towards Scarlett. , "Miss Scarlett, hello!"

"Mr. Kodama, hello!" Scarlett nodded slightly.

Scarlett handed the suitcase to the middle-aged man in front of her, "Here are the materials you need. In view of your help to us, this is also the sincerity we want to express."

The middle-aged man smiled shyly, and a look of satisfaction flashed across his gentle face, "I believe this is just the beginning of our cooperation. Next, we will have many opportunities to create new history."

The middle-aged man handed the suitcase to the entourage in the car, turned around and looked at the "Nishi Maru" in the distance, "This is the ship I was talking about, why? You don't plan to visit your friend?"

Scarlett forced a smile, "Forget it, his matter is a bit tricky this time, and it's not appropriate for me to come forward."

The middle-aged man nodded, as if he sighed with deep sympathy, "Mr. Lin Xiaotang, although I have never met him, his name is indeed well-known, and he can be regarded as an outstanding figure among the young generation of Shanghai Bund. It's just that he took too long steps. Hurry up, young man, it's better to keep a low profile!"

Just after negotiating the terms of cooperation with Scarlett, the middle-aged man was in a very good mood, so he explained: "Don't worry, I will also take this ship back to Japan. If there is a chance, I will meet Mr. Lin. If If I have the opportunity, I will also ask about this matter."

Scarlett's eyes lit up, but before she could speak, the middle-aged man went on to say: "But you also know that my Kodama Yoshio is now the special envoy of the royal family. It was His Excellency Doihara who helped me when I was released from prison. You I also know that Mr. Lin's matter this time was personally intervened by His Excellency Doihara, and I can't intervene in specific matters, but it's okay to take care of it in private."

Yoshio Kodama's words were impeccable, even so, Scarlett was already very satisfied. "Then please Kodama-san!"

Yoshio Kodama smiled: "You are too polite. I would like to thank you for the smooth negotiation this time. Mr. Lin's affairs are just a matter of little effort."

"However." Yoshio Kodama changed the subject, "Our cooperation this time has been hidden from the base camp. I hope you can keep it as the top secret, because if it is leaked, the domestic situation in our country will be greatly affected. Influence, please agree to my request!"

Yoshio Kodama bowed deeply to Scarlett.

Scarlett nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, Mr. Kodama, this matter is also a top secret for us!"

Scarlett watched Yoshio Kodama's car drifting away, but she had mixed feelings in her heart.Lin Xiaotang is right, politics is indeed an extremely dirty thing.In the Pacific Ocean, American soldiers are fighting bloody islands with Japan, but the high-level officials can't wait to agree to the cooperation conditions of the Japanese royal family, paving the way for the post-war situation change. Such a ridiculous and even ironic thing It is being staged in full swing, what is this, can it be said that this is the interest of the country?

Yoshio Kodama is the representative of the Japanese royal family.Speaking of it, his background is not clean. Yoshio Kodama was born in the "Black Dragon Association", and he was the right-hand man of the president Toyama Mitsuru. He was imprisoned for political assassination in his early years.Later, he was taken out of the prison by Kenji Doihara, and he specialized in some shady things. After the war broke out, he haunted Japan and China.When he rushed to Shanghai this time, he was entrusted by the royal family to contact the United States in the name of the major general of the intelligence agency.The Japanese are not fools. Except for those fanatical "samurai" who still refuse to recognize the situation, more Japanese have already seen the coming end.In order to obtain more benefits after the war, and also to preserve more strength, the Japanese began to get in touch with the US intelligence agencies eagerly. It has the same effect.

In a daze, Scarlett realized that she could fully understand Lin Xiaotang's inadvertently expressed hostility towards her country.

……

On the side of the ship, Kawakami Tadaki and Kodama Yoshio shook hands, Kawakami Tadaki bowed solemnly, "Your Majesty Kodama, I entrust all this shipment to you!"

Kodama Yoshio returned the gift, "Kawakami-kun, please rest assured!"

"This batch of goods was obtained by our special gendarmerie from the people after the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Rebellion. Some of the porcelain, calligraphy, paintings, and cultural relics in it need to be treated with special care. We have cast all the gold into gold ingots. The specific number is in the information given to you. middle!"

Yoshio Kodama nodded in satisfaction. He had nothing to say about Kawakami's diligence. After the accidental death of Yazawa Shinichi, the "Golden Lily" project he was in charge of was handed over to Kawakami. , this person's ability is still outstanding.

"Kawakami-kun has worked hard." Yoshio Kodama sighed, "The situation of the war is becoming more and more confusing. As a member of the empire, we must plan for the worst."

Yoshio Kodama pointed to the "Nishi Maru", "The achievements of the special gendarmerie in China, the Philippines, Myanmar and other regions are obvious to all. It is your efforts that can leave hope for the revival of the imperial country. Even if the war ends in It ended in failure, but as long as the Golden Lily Project succeeds, the empire's economy will retain its vitality to take off again. Asia, sooner or later, will belong to the empire!"

Kawakami Tadaki nodded solemnly.

Yoshio Kodama suddenly thought of something, "Kawakami-san, I heard that a prisoner is going to be brought back to the mainland. Is he also on this boat?"

Kawakami Tadaki nodded, "Yes, he was involved in the espionage case that was uncovered in the mainland a few years ago. His Excellency Doihara ordered him to be sent to the mainland for investigation. This time he also took the Xisato Maru."

"I heard that this person is a famous figure in Shanghai, named Lin Xiaotang?"

"That's right, Your Excellency also knows him?" Kawakami Zhonghui asked.

Yoshio Kodama smiled and waved his hands, "In Shanghai, it's hard not to know his name!"

Yoshio Kodama put away his smile, "I'm just asking casually, Kawakami-kun, you know very well that I'm only in charge of the Golden Lily Project, other things are not within my purview, and I'm not interested."

Yoshio Kodama said with deep emotion: "China is indeed a very peculiar nation. There are many talented people among them, but most of them are lost in their own internal struggles. In the future of Asia, It is bound to be the Empire and China, we must prepare early!"

Kawakami Tadaki heeled together, "Hi Yi!"

The "Xili Maru" slowly sailed away from the port, and the sun also jumped out of the horizon quietly at this time, playing until the sun shines on the deep blue sea.Yoshio Kodama gently waved his hand in the direction of Tadaki Kishibe Kawakami, but from the corner of his eye, he glanced in the direction of Scarlett in the distance.

The two goals of this trip to Shanghai have been achieved, and Yoshio Kodama's mood has been relaxed. The "Golden Lily" project is proceeding in an orderly manner, like blood vessels, providing Japan with a steady stream of fresh blood.And getting in touch with the Americans added some possibilities for Japan to develop again after the war.The future world will definitely be a hegemony between the two superpowers of the United States and Russia, and Japan is no longer qualified to participate in it, so it can only turn its attention to Asia where it is located.Relying on the United States, concentrating on development, and with the support of the Golden Lily Project, the revival of the empire is just around the corner. Even if the war is lost, so what, as long as the Golden Lily Project succeeds, within 20 years, Japan can still stand proudly on top of Asia.

Yoshio Kodama came to Shanghai for these two purposes. Of course, these two things are independent of each other, just like Tadaki Kawakami, he can't know that he has another secret mission.Similarly, Yoshio Kodama is also unlikely to let the Americans know the existence of the Golden Lily Project.

"The fate of the empire will be changed because of the golden lily. As long as there is a golden lily, the empire will never be defeated!" Yoshio Kodama couldn't help but clenched his fists, and cast his two fanatical gazes into the depths of the ocean.
