Chapter 703 District 8

"Director Beichuan, I believe that the news you told me before is not the whole truth. In that case, besides the sudden exposure of the mirror, what other problems could have gone wrong?"

"not yet."

Wang Yan drank the tea with a smile and said nothing more. His intention was obvious, this was directed at him.

"Wang Sang, I apologize once again and ask for your understanding." Kousuke Kitagawa was sitting on his knees with his hands on his thighs and his head bowed, displaying the fine Japanese habits.

"I understand, of course I understand. Section Chief Kitagawa, if I were you, I would be equally suspicious. However, I will not ask about the things that are different from you, but will monitor you silently. I think Mr. Iwai also knows this. For so many years, there have been many eyes around me. If I really have a problem, I’m afraid Section Chief Beichuan won’t be able to get to know me.”

"Wang Sang, don't worry too much. Is this also a protection for you?" Iwai Eiichi said with a smile, "It was also a sudden incident that ruined Kitagawa-kun's arrangement. The expectations are too high and do not match the results, so it is inevitable that the mind will lose control."

"After so long of planning, you can't get anything out of it, right?"

Kitagawa Kosuke sighed: "Of course there are still some gains, but as Mr. Iwai said, our expectations are too high. Originally, if we followed our planned development, we could grasp the situation of the Red Party Shanghai Transportation Station step by step. Destroy their lines of communication. But now, because of the sudden exposure of Mingjing, our deployment has been disrupted. Although I have not received the results of the operation yet, I think I will not catch any important people. "

"If my guess is correct, you must have instigated rebellion or sent people to infiltrate the Red Party. Otherwise, there is no way to explain that you had the information so long ago but did not act immediately. Since it is only the mirror that has been exposed now, The people you have installed are safe. As long as you continue to lurk and gain the trust of the Red Party, it won’t take long for you to gain something and inflict heavy damage on the Red Party.”

After saying nonsense casually, Wang Yan turned to ask: "Mr. Iwai, Section Chief Kitagawa, do you know how the arrangements are at Minglou and Mingjing?"

Glancing at Eiichi Iwai, Kosuke Kitagawa pondered: "This time the incident happened suddenly and disrupted our deployment. We can't be sure whether the exposure of Mingjing was an accident or whether they had already learned the news from some channel and gave it to them. We staged a bitter plot. Judging from the current results, Ming Jing cannot stay out of the matter anyway, so it is the best choice for her to take the initiative to expose it. If this is the case, then there is still something to explore in her body. value.

As for Ming Lou, we are still not sure whether he just knew it. We need to conduct a more detailed investigation to find more evidence to prove his innocence. All of this takes time, even three to five days. At this time, I don’t think it will have a big impact on your business, right? "

"It doesn't have much impact, but as long as it does, then all I lose is money." Wang Yan took a sip of tea and continued talking, "I still say the same thing, if there is no problem with Minglou, it also proves that Mingjing is indeed If she was accidentally exposed, let her go. You just said that Minglou went to see Mingjing as soon as he received the news and cursed her. Mingjing also took the initiative to confess to Minglou. In this case, there is nothing Mingjing can do in the future. If we continue to contact the Red Party, we can only do business safely. "

"That's for sure, Wang Sang." Iwai Eiichi expressed his affirmative words, "I still say the same thing. If it is confirmed that there is no problem with Minglou, then regardless of whether there is a problem with Mingjing, as long as she is willing to cooperate, then She is free. We have already made Minglou lose his brother, we cannot let him lose his sister again."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "It's not easy to talk about Minglou. In the past few years, he has been subject to suspicion. Let me tell you, if there is no problem this time, Mr. Iwai might as well consider it and don't let his name be used by the Special Committee. "I don't know what he thinks. As an outsider, I'm tired of seeing this."

"Wang Sang is right. In fact, he has been declining in the past two years, but I don't agree. Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun may not be of the same mind as the Japanese Empire. Although Minglou is also the same, but they fight each other, it is natural for me It’s beneficial. I think you can understand my good intentions.”

"Of course, Mr. Iwai, you are a wise superior."

Wang Yan licked his face and said flattering words, and then said it for a while before saying goodbye and leaving Iwai Mansion...

"Mr. Iwai, what do you think?" Seeing the shoji door closed, Kitagawa Kosuke approached Eiichi Iwai and asked while pouring tea.

"This is your business, you should express your opinion."

"Wang Yan's thoughts are too deep, I'm not sure." Kitagawa Kosuke frowned, was silent for a while, took a long breath and shook his head, "But if I have to say whether it was Minglou who he informed me about, I don't think so. "

Iwai Eiichi laughed, looking like you are still young, put down the tea cup and said: "You don't have much contact with him, and you don't know much about him either. People's words can be deceptive, but their actions cannot. I know him. He has been there for four years. During these four years, he has never made a mistake and has always been cautious. If there is a problem with him, given his position and the industry he controls, there is no other way but death. I told you, His only secret is that he doesn't know how much money he has.

Although he made an excuse to have something to do, he ended up having dinner with his subordinates, which might make Minglou notice some clues. It doesn’t matter if he did it intentionally or if he didn’t take Minglou seriously, it’s normal even if he did it intentionally. If it were you and me, we might make the same choice. If there is no problem with Ming Lou, he can sell favors to Ming Lou when the storm subsides. If there is a problem, he can offer favors to both parties. No matter what, he was not at a loss.

But to say that he notified Ming Lou, the problem lies with Ming Jing. It is possible, but very small. He knows what to do and what not to do. Besides, what if he pointed out the mirror? You have made careful arrangements, and it is impossible for Minglou and Mingjing who are trapped in the situation to know where the problem lies. "

"So you think this time is really just a coincidence?"

"It's very likely that it's a coincidence, but we can't take it lightly, and we still need to search for enough evidence. The situation in the Empire of Japan is not very good now, and Minglou's position is more critical. As long as he is not a member of the two parties, then it will be okay It's appropriate to be more relaxed. In a war, you have me, and I have you. After all, even we are selling goods in large quantities to the territories of the two parties through Wang Yan, and we are also trading penicillin with the Red Party. Although this made the situation of the two parties, especially the red party, much better, we also made money and saved the lives of the imperial warriors.

There is also Zhou Fuhai. He is the same type of person as Wang Yan, but he was born earlier than Wang Yan. Do you really think that I don’t know about his secret connection with the military commander? Do you think he knows that he has connections with the military? "

Kitagawa Kosuke nodded: "I understand, Mr. Iwai, I will handle it."

"Go do it. I think your actions will have some results."

Iwai Hideichi picked up the tea cup and drank tea, pretending to be sophisticated...

Wang Yan did not deliberately inquire for more information, but simply inferred from the information he had already obtained that this possible huge danger was basically over.

Ming Jing took the initiative to expose himself, and the others retreated secretly. No matter whether those who were instigated to rebel are discovered or not, it is only a matter of time, and there will definitely not be any big splash. After all, the range of suspects has been circled, and the people among them can be counted. Even if you use the stupidest method, use false information, and test the suspects in circles, it will not take three rounds.

As for the safety of Minglou and Mingjing, Mingjing, who is needed for the extra-high school course, was indeed accidentally exposed. Evidence that Minglou was really uninformed will definitely appear in the near future, and it won't take long to escape. It's just that this time, Minglou will be even smaller in the future. After all, in the past few years, he has been frequently suspected. Although it turned out to have nothing to do with him in the end, and even found another scapegoat, he could not withstand such suspicion and temptation.

What happened this time is simple to say, but the danger involved is incomprehensible to outsiders.

Wang Yan reported the news to the leader, who thought about it for a while and then informed the underground parties in Suzhou and Shanghai. The information was not that detailed yet. The Suzhou side had to investigate and screen based on time without alerting others. Shanghai even had to pretend not to know, secretly sorting out the business lines involving Der Spiegel, and looking for the problem. Finally, there is Minglou's caution of not knowing the true feelings, and his determination to push Mingjing out directly.

The most important thing is that Suzhou, Shanghai, including Minglou, must reflect on what kind of disaster they would have faced if they had not received the news in advance. The scariest thing is scaring yourself. Just thinking about it can scare you awake in your dreams.

Because once the Japanese really break the surface, it will be a huge blow to the underground work in Suzhou and Shanghai. Even the anti-Japanese base areas in southern Jiangsu are at risk of overthrow.

Wang Yan felt that if he didn't know the news, he would have been forced to go out and take action, which would have nipped the crisis in the bud...

As expected, four days later, Minglou, Mingcheng, and Mingjing siblings were released and returned to Ming Mansion. After having a meal that lasted a lifetime, Minglou went to work the next day and made an appointment with Wang Yan to have lunch.

"Mr. Wang, with this glass of wine, we two brothers represent my eldest sister again, here's to you!"

Minglou and Mingcheng raised their wine glasses seriously and started drinking wine very simply.

"It's nothing, it's just a little effort. If you don't survive this time, I can be kind to both sides, so why not do it." Wang Yan drank the wine with a smile and said, "But you are really powerful, you are willing to give in Miss Ming took the initiative to expose her, and this is a good trick."

Minglou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It was also a helpless move. We didn't know where the problem was. Later, we found clues from Liang Zhongchun. It was his men who arrested the person at the time, and he was later taken away by the Special High School. With At the same time, the Suzhou underground party organization also contacted us. They found two traitors. In the next few days, we conducted a secret investigation and identified several suspicious candidates. After discussion, we decided to use them. My eldest sister broke the situation.”

He didn't say why he didn't start with the traitors directly. Maybe he didn't know the source of the intelligence, or maybe he knew it but didn't tell him. Wang Yan believed that Minglou did not know the source of the intelligence, or even knew that there was intelligence. He only knew that there was news in Suzhou and that Shanghai was prepared. He also rejected his proposal to start with the traitors and kill the Japanese. In the end, Only then did I think of using the Mirror to expose myself to break the situation.

Wang Yan nodded and said: "Anyway, you guys came here safely this time. But you must not let your eldest sister do anything else in the future, and there will be no more contact. I can see clearly that your eldest sister is not involved in underground struggles. Material. If she contacts the Red Party, your family will be affected, so just keep doing business."

"I heard from Iwai Eiichi that you begged my eldest sister immediately and thanked you for your help." As he spoke, Minglou drank another drink, and Mingcheng beside him followed suit without saying a word. Cheers, and then the wine was poured silently without a word.

They both drank, and of course Wang Yan also drank. He picked up the dishes with a smile: "Actually, I'm not helping you, but helping myself. Your Ming family's business has been cooperating with me, Yonghua Industrial, for several years. The binding is a bit deep. If something happens to you, I will be in a lot of trouble. When it comes to business, Miss Ming actually doesn’t have to do anything by herself. After all, I am the largest supplier of supplies in the Soviet area. She also holds the exclusive rights to sell penicillin to the Red Party. By doing business with me honestly, she is helping the Red Party and fulfilling her own ideals. "

"Yes, you are right. I have told her before, and she has realized her shortcomings and has decided to do business safely. It is not easy to escape and save her life this time..."

"Liang Zhongchun was not suspected? How did he escape?"

"It's just words! I just said I forgot. When asked what Acheng wanted to do with him, he just said it was related to business. The Japanese had no evidence, so they just got here. But after this time, he probably can't sit in the intelligence department. A long seat.”

Wang Yan smiled, it would be great if Liang Zhongchun was alive: "Do you know the news that Tokyo was bombed today?"

Minglou laughed: "Of course I heard about it, and everyone in the puppet government is talking about it now. Good guy, the Yankees are still better. How can we have that ability? We don't have many planes, let alone fly so far to bomb Japan. The mainland. I see, a bigger battle is about to break out, and the Japanese are very vindictive..."

In May, the Japanese army launched a large-scale raid in North China to target the Red Party guerrillas. Looking in a larger direction, today, after years of struggle and development, the Red Party's armed forces have made leaps and bounds in terms of scale, armament, and combat effectiveness, and the threat to the Japanese has increased exponentially. At the same time, Japan opened up the Pacific battlefield, fighting on multiple fronts, and its follow-up operations were already somewhat beyond its capabilities. They hope to concentrate their efforts on big things, and first of all they must wipe out the Red Party armed forces.

Of course, the Red Party troops are not vegetarians, not to mention that they have already received the information provided by Wang Yan and are already prepared. The situation in North China suddenly became chaotic. In Liang Jian's words, it was a mess. The Japanese's idea of ​​​​solving the Red Party armed forces in North China not only failed to work, but also intensified the consumption and fell into a quagmire.

Minglou's understanding of the Japanese is correct, and the Japanese do hold grudges. In June, the famous Battle of Midway began. After two days, the United States defeated the Japanese navy and became a turning point in the Pacific War. After the war, the Japanese held a grand welcome ceremony for the few remaining naval and air forces who had returned from the defeat, as if they were the winners...

In July, the more famous Battle of Stalingrad began, a turning point in World War II. History has been doomed. In this war, Germany suffered a disastrous defeat and the Soviet Union suffered a disastrous victory.

Turning around to 1943, the year started with a piece of bombshell news that seemed like a joke.

On January 9, the Wang Zhaoming government declared war on Britain and the United States, and at the same time signed an agreement with the Japanese to return the concession.

Within two days, the United States and Britain gave up their concessions in China. They were claiming the legal right to rule the concessions. But the statement issued was ‘return’.

And this was just the beginning. In February, after various negotiations, the French Vichy government, controlled by Germany, announced that it would abandon its concession in China.

After a period of promotion and takeover, on July 30, the Wang Zhaoming government officially took over the French Concession and renamed it District 8.

The history of the French Concession in Shanghai, which lasted for nearly a hundred years, has ended...
