Chapter 1659 Multi-party talks
Li Mingda's death quickly shocked the entire Wang Puppet regime.
As a special committee member of the Investigation Department, Li Mingda has great power and heavy responsibilities.
Now, he was actually killed like this.
But this is just the beginning.
A larger-scale assassination is yet to come.
The New Year of 1941 was destined to be full of blood!
In the morning, the sound of firecrackers was already ringing in the streets of Shanghai.
It’s New Year’s Eve.
And on New Year's Eve, Wan Kewen, Special Division Director of the Police Department of the Shanghai Public Settlement Bureau of Industry and Commerce, met with the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau and the Japanese Secret Service in Shanghai, No. 76, Intelligence Headquarters.
The person sent by the Shanghai District was Wu Jingyi.
The one sent by Japan was Koichi Hahara!
Present on the 76th was Li Shiqun.
As for the intelligence headquarters, Tian Qi was invited to attend.
All parties face a formidable enemy.
There are agents everywhere near the Ministry of Industry Bureau building.
This reminded Wu Jingyi of the last meeting at the Ministry of Industry Bureau.
Every time we meet like this, it always feels like we are going to fight.
Xu Zhu is personally responsible for Wu Jingyi's safety.
And he met his old rival again:
Wu Sibao!
People on both sides began to become nervous.
There were even many British soldiers and patrol officers who had deep memories of these two men.
Last time, right here, these two people had a fight.
Both men almost died.
What about this time?
Xu Zhu and Wu Sibao stood facing each other.
Neither of them spoke.
They are sworn enemies, but last time, they actually had a wonderful cooperation!
Sometimes you really can’t understand God’s arrangements!
…
"Welcome, gentlemen and ladies."
At the meeting, in addition to Wan Kewen, there were also two Japanese inspector generals, Yuta Sakaki and Yosuke Okamitsu.
"I know you are all busy people." Wan Kewen said with a serious expression: "This time, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau has undergone a change of leadership. I also know that you are enemies of each other. If it were possible now, you would immediately pull out the
Use the gun to shoot the opponent."
"That's not right, Mr. Police Commissioner."
Wu Jingyi said: "I am their enemy."
"I'm sorry, Ms. Wu, I think my choice of words is not appropriate." Wan Kewen apologized: "What I want to say is that the public concession maintains strict neutrality. I don't care about the progress of the war between China and Japan.
To what extent, but since you are here, you must abide by the laws of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. From today on, assassinations and bombings will never be allowed to happen again!"
Hankaki Yuta said:
"According to my investigation, a large number of vicious cases such as assassinations and explosions were initiated by the Military Command Bureau. The Military Command Bureau must bear the main responsibility for today's situation!"
"I'm afraid these words are a bit extreme, Mr. Inspector General." Wu Jingyi said calmly: "I don't know where your investigation conclusion comes from, or is it blatantly biased towards Japan because you are Japanese?
"
"You have to be responsible for your words, Ms. Wu Jingyi!" Yu Taiyin said with a stern face.
Wu Jingyi still said calmly and calmly: "Of course I will take responsibility for what I said. Are you neutral? Why is there a Japanese Inspector General in the police station but not a Chinese Inspector General?
I heard that you foreigners like a sport called football. When playing football, in addition to players, there are also referees. Have you ever seen a team where both players and referees are involved?"
For a moment, everyone was speechless.
This metaphor is very apt.
Originally, two Japanese inspector generals were assigned to the police force, but they had to do so under strong pressure from the Japanese side.
But now, Wu Jingyi has caught the handle.
"Okay, let's discuss this issue later."
Wan Kewen cleared his throat and said: "To be honest, it is impossible to completely stop this situation. But we must minimize the situation.
I stipulate, gentlemen and ladies, please note that this is a stipulation, not a suggestion. In the public concession, I will set up a safety zone, and any form of sabotage is prohibited in the safety zone!"
…
Nagashima sat there and carefully checked the weapon.
Behind him was a large team composed of Japanese and Chinese spies.
Among them, there was even Manjing Hangshu and one of his men.
"What is the background of this woman named Wu?" Manjing Hangshu asked.
He is the best of the best.
Now, he was actually asked to help assassinate a woman?
"Her name is Wu Jingyi." Changdao Kuan said slowly: "She is the secretary of the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau. She also has a more important identity, Meng Shaoyuan's most capable assistant.
This time, her coming to attend the meeting organized by the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry Bureau is an excellent opportunity for us to assassinate her. If this woman dies, Meng Shaoyuan will be missing an arm!"
"very good!"
Manjing Hangshu's eyes flashed with passion: "Now is the time to avenge the fallen imperial warriors!"
…
"This is my safe zone!"
Wan Kewen looked away from the map: "Do you have any questions?"
"No problem." Li Shiqun smiled: "It's very fair. I think the police department's approach is entirely from the perspective of Shanghai citizens. The establishment of the safety zone will minimize the damage to Shanghai."
"There is no problem with the Empire of Japan." Koichi Hahara said dullly.
To be honest, in his opinion, it is unnecessary to establish a so-called safe zone. If both parties really decide to fight, why would they consider a safe zone?
Moreover, this may become a problem that Japan has to worry about.
However, compatriots and the two Japanese inspector generals in the police force, Yuta Sakaki and Yosuke Okamitsu, were strongly in favor.
Especially Hankaki Yuta, he believes that the establishment of this safe zone will be able to curb the activities of the Military Control Bureau to the greatest extent.
madness.
Who do you think Meng Shaoyuan is?
Will he abide by a designated safe zone?
What was this person afraid of in Shanghai?
"I agree too." Tian Qi said with a cold face: "But if anyone breaks this rule first, what kind of punishment will the Ministry of Industry and Industry impose?"
"A very severe punishment!"
Yosuke Okamitsu, who had been silent all this time, said: "Even we, if any party violates this rule, will be held accountable."
"Then, I can solemnly declare on behalf of our side."
Wu Jingyi said extremely calmly: "We will strictly abide by the setting of the safe zone, but if one party takes the lead in breaking this regulation, then we will quickly launch a counterattack!"
A very tough Chinese woman.
Wan Kewen thought so in his mind.
Meng Shaoyuan is an amazing person.
He is setting up a network.
Then wait for your enemy to take the initiative to get in.
And he himself became one of his partners.
King of Shanghai.
Wan Kewen likes this nickname very much.
