Several ashtrays on the table were filled with cigarette butts.

The three military leaders of Shanghai, Meng Shaoyuan, Zhou Weilong, and Cheng Yiming, smoked cigarettes one after another. Even Cheng Yiming, who was not a big smoker in the first place, had smoked almost half a pack of cigarettes.

This is something that has never happened in the history of military rule.

The Big Three were assassinated almost simultaneously overnight.

During the day, I sent someone to take a look and found that the place where the three "Mr. Gong" agreed to meet was piled with explosives and grenades that were too late to be evacuated.

Cold sweat broke out all over my head.

If Meng Shaoyuan hadn't discovered it in time, the three of them would have been reduced to pieces by now.

"This thing is too scary." Zhou Weilong put out a cigarette butt and then lit another cigarette for himself: "The planning was so sophisticated that our entire army was almost wiped out. We must carefully consider how we should act in the next step.

"

Cheng Yiming said: "First, report to Director Dai immediately. Second, launch a comprehensive retaliatory action in Shanghai."

"I agree too." Meng Shaoyuan said, "How do you report it to Director Dai?"

Cheng Yiming had no time to think: "It's very simple. Mr. Gong is a spy planted by the Japanese within the military command, and he carefully planned this assassination incident in Shanghai."

"Well, this is a report that should be based on facts." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "A senior Japanese spy has been lurking within our military command for a long time. This time he served as the inspector and was personally appointed by Director Dai."

Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming were both veteran officials, and they immediately understood the meaning of these words.

The inspector was personally appointed by Dai Li. It was precisely because of this willingness that no one suspected Mr. Gong's true identity. However, he almost caused heavy losses to the military commander.

Who will bear this responsibility?

Dai Li?

"Brother Meng has thought carefully." Zhou Weilong nodded slightly: "Young people are terrible. We have been officials for so many years in vain. Brother Meng, how do you want to report?"

Meng Shaoyuan had already thought about it: "After Mr. Gong arrived in Hong Kong, he was attracted by the Japanese and rebelled against the organization. We subsequently conducted a raid on Mr. Gong's residence and found a large number of letters between him and the Japanese."

"The letters are not good." Zhou Weilong said quickly: "The large number of letters in and out shows that he has colluded with the Japanese for a long time. Well, diary, we found a diary left by Mr. Gong when he escaped, which recorded in detail

How was it gradually bribed by the Japanese? Secretary Cheng, you have Lao Du under you, who is particularly good at this, right?"

"Yes, I asked Lao Du to forge the diary, but Mr. Gong's handwriting is difficult to do."

"I have it there." Zhou Weilong said immediately: "After the inspector arrives, he needs to register. Mr. Gong signs it, and I will have someone bring it to you in a moment."

"It's easy to handle if you have handwriting. It can be done in two or three days." Cheng Yiming frowned: "How can we solve the problem of his real name Yanagawa?"

"There is no real name." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "He was determined to be a traitor, so he changed himself to a Japanese name."

"What about the assassination of Tahara Kota?" Cheng Yiming continued to ask.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "The person who bribed Mr. Gong was Tahara Kota. After we found out, we immediately launched an assassination attempt on Tahara Kota and achieved great success."

A counterfeiting plan was thus formulated.

There are many flaws in it, and if you think about it carefully, you can find the problem, but even if someone finds that there is a problem, no one dares to speak out.

To question the authenticity of this report is to question Dai Li's employer.

Who dares to question Dai Li?

So all these are Mr. Gong's personal reasons and have nothing to do with Dai Li.

As for the military-controlled Shanghai latent area?

District Mayor Zhou Weilong, Secretary Cheng Yiming, and Director of the Special Office Meng Shaoyuan teamed up to discover Mr. Gong's rebellion plot in time, and successfully assassinated Japan's strongest killer Kota Tahara.

No fault, merit!

And the credit is great!

Leaders can never make mistakes; mistakes are only a problem of the people below.

If a big mistake is made, the people below must find ways to make amends.

If it is really irreparable, we must have the courage to help the leader take responsibility.

You may feel wronged for a while, but your leader will definitely repay you in the future.

Everyone in the three military leaders understands this truth.

So even though they were full of contradictions before, now the contradictions have been temporarily abandoned.

They briefly became comrades in the trenches!

"This matter is settled. I will personally send electricity to Director Dai." Zhou Weilong took a few puffs of cigarette and said: "Of course, the Shanghai latent area of ​​our military command must also bear the responsibility for lax supervision in this matter. As the district chief,

You can't run away, I personally request for punishment."

"You district chief can't run away, how can I, the secretary, run away?" Cheng Yiming said with a smile: "If you add me, I will ask for punishment myself."

This is not asking for punishment; it is basically asking for merit.

People like Dai Li will immediately understand after seeing this telegram that Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming helped him shoulder all the responsibilities, and they will be rewarded in the future.

Meng Shaoyuan did not argue with them: "As for launching a comprehensive retaliation in Shanghai, I think it will be postponed. District Chief Zhou, Secretary Cheng, and Mr. Gong will be dealt with by me."

Originally, Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming were very satisfied with Meng Shaoyuan not taking credit from them. Now that he has taken the initiative to take on the task of dealing with Mr. Gong, it is even more desirable.

Mr. Gong is a hot potato. If he is not handled properly, he will cause endless trouble.

"Brother Meng, it will be your fault." Zhou Weilong seemed particularly polite at this time: "If you need any help, just ask, Secretary Cheng and I will make it clear."

assist?

Then forget it.

The three giants appear to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact they are full of conflicts in private. If it hadn't been for Mr. Gong's incident this time, the three of them would not be sitting together at all.

…

"What went wrong?"

Yanagawa murmured to himself.

He carefully reviewed every step of his plan to make sure it was absolutely foolproof.

If something was really exposed, the military commander would have arrested him during lunch yesterday.

where is the problem?

Yanagawa couldn't understand.

It's a pity that such a good opportunity was lost.

This may be the only and best opportunity.

"Your Excellency Yanagawa, we have brought everyone back."

Yanagawa cheered up: "Is there any loss?"

"There were no losses. Except for the Shiqiao Lane we were responsible for, the other two places, each with one detonator and two gunmen, all returned safely. Including the nine people we evacuated from Shiqiao Lane yesterday, all of them are here.

.”

Yanagawa looked at the people who had just withdrawn: "Are you all Kouta Tahara's subordinates?"

"Yes!"

"May I have your name?"

"Your Excellency, I am Gao Cheng Yingchang!"

"Gaocheng-kun, repeat your mission."

"Hai!"

Takagi Yingmao stood up straight: "We came to Shanghai under the order of His Excellency Tahara, followed the command of His Excellency Yanagawa, detonated explosives and killed the enemy's senior figures."

"Do you know you will die too?"

"I know! Mr. Tahara has clearly explained the mission to us. For His Majesty the Emperor, we are always ready to be loyal! I took the initiative to serve as the detonator!"

"A true warrior of the Empire!" Yanagawa couldn't help but admire: "Now, I can tell you something you didn't know before. Tahara Kouta, his real name is Asada Kengawa!"

Several people were startled. They had followed "His Excellency Tahara Kouta" for so many years, and this was the first time they knew that he was not called by that name.

"In order to complete his mission, he has been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."

"What? Tahara... no, Mr. Asada is loyal to you?"

"Calm down." Yanagawa's voice was calm: "The ones who killed him were the so-called Big Three of the Chinese military in Shanghai. Remember their names, Zhou Weilong, Cheng Yiming, and a man named...Meng Shaoyuan! Remember it firmly and never forget it.

! We must avenge Mr. Asada! Now, I will tell you who I am!"

He said word by word: "I am Mr. Gong."

Gao Cheng Yingchang and others were shocked for a moment.

Mr. Gong?

He turned out to be Mr. Gong?

Mr. Gong, Mr. Asada-kun’s mortal enemy?
