Chapter 1208 Premeditated Planning
Zhan Yuanliang never expected that Shang Zhenyun came to his house late at night and said this to him. He immediately felt shocked. Looking at Shang Zhenyun, he couldn't help asking again: "Do you want me to assassinate the members of the envoy?"
"Yes!" Shang Zhenyun nodded heavily and confirmed, "A few days ago, the headquarters issued an order to assassinate these Japanese powerful people at all costs. These people are prominent figures. If the assassination is successful, the impact will definitely be huge.
But today I sent operation personnel to the near Zhenjiang to intercept, but the Japanese were too strict in their defense and failed in the end. Now that the envoys have arrived in Nanjing, there must be a lot of defense forces around me, but I am afraid that it is not airtight and my people cannot move forward at all.
I know that this envoy is headed by Hidesu Kiyomizu, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, so the person responsible for entertaining them must be the Consulate General where you are, among all the lurking personnel, now you can reach them, so I decided to activate you to complete this task!"
After hearing Shang Zhenyun's words, Zhan Yuanliang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He knew very well that the danger of this assassination mission was self-evident. He had been lurking for many years, but he didn't expect that he would actually carry out the assassination mission.
He hesitated for a long time, and after a long time, he asked, "Webmaster, do you know when I joined the Military Control Commission?"
Shang Zhenyun was stunned and shook his head slowly. He only knew that "Hunter" was a senior spy who had been lurking in the Japanese for many years, but he did not have any historical information. Only the bureau headquarters had archives for such top-secret information.
Zhan Yuanliang showed bitter face, and forced a smile, saying, "I was an agent from the Blue-Yi Society period. I was ordered to lurk in the Japanese Consulate in Nanjing in the 20th year of the Republic of China. It has been a full ten years now. In order to be able to enter the Consulate General, I hid my identity, got married and had children, started as a serf, and then became a chef, and then became a clerk step by step. Even when Nanjing fell, I did not leave. There are only three Chinese in the Consulate General, and two of them were serfs, and only I was a clerk. It took me ten years to gain the trust of the Japanese and now I can access some valuable information, but... but you asked me to do assassination?"
Zhan Yuanliang's tone was full of helplessness. He looked at Shang Zhenyun and continued, "I was not afraid of death. When I was devoted to it, I thought of this day. But if you perform such a task, would you consider it again?"
Zhan Yuanliang said what he said in his heart. It was really difficult for him to survive until today. In order to gain the trust of the Japanese, he was cautious and walking on thin ice. He experienced many risks and efforts in the middle. However, it doesn’t matter. His instructor once said that even if an excellent spy only obtains one key intelligence in his life and plays the due role, he is a successful spy.
However, when he worked hard for many years and had already accessed Japanese documents and information, he was used as an assassin, which made him really unacceptable.
Shang Zhenyun heard this and couldn't answer for a long time. He could understand Zhan Yuanliang's feelings at this time and knew that doing so was a waste of resources. But now he had no other way, so he decided to use Zhan Yuanliang.
"I know your mood, but there is no way. Nanjing Station has not made any achievements for a long time, which has made Shangfeng dissatisfied. The headquarters of the bureau issued a deadly order this time and must complete the task. I have no other way.
I know that tomorrow night, the consulate will hold a grand welcome banquet for the arrival of the envoy. At that time, let alone these Japanese powerful people, even the top Japanese officials and high-ranking officials of the Nanjing government, will attend the banquet. Think about it, no one of these people attending the banquet is a Japanese or a traitor with important identity. It is rare to see them at ordinary times. As long as you kill them, it will be a brilliant victory. This is not bad at all the results of gaining a piece of top-secret intelligence. This opportunity is too rare, only you can do it!"
After saying that, he took out the small bottle from his arms and placed it on the desk, and continued: "This is potassium cyanide, extremely toxic. These doses are enough, and it depends on you!"
Seeing that Shang Zhenyun insisted on his own opinion and still ordered himself to take action, Zhan Yuanliang could no longer refuse, otherwise he would have disobeyed his orders. This could be dealt with on the spot under the military regulations. Besides, he was just for his own worthlessness, but he was not really afraid of death.
Zhan Yuanliang nodded slowly, took the small bottle, looked in front of him, and couldn't help but say with emotion: "I haven't used this thing for many years!"
He lurked for ten years and never participated in the field operations again. Many things were unfamiliar. He weighed them in his hand and continued: "I used to work in the kitchen of the consulate and worked as a chef. With the specifications of tomorrow's banquet, there must be many people attending the banquet. The kitchen will definitely be too busy. At that time, I will find an excuse to go to the kitchen to help and take the opportunity to poison it, but in this way, I will not be able to determine the goal of the action."
Zhan Yuanliang frowned when he heard this. The one he wanted to assassinate the most was naturally those top major figures. If he could not determine the goal, the effect of the action would be reduced. So he asked with some disappointment: "Can't you tamper with the banquet?"
Zhan Yuanliang shook his head and said, "I am just a clerk and I am not qualified to attend such a high-standard banquet. It is too eye-catching to force the entrance to the banquet hall. Moreover, potassium cyanide is too toxic. After the poisoning, symptoms will appear in fifteen to thirty seconds. If the Japanese react quickly and find that someone is poisoned, they will immediately block the consulate. If I stay at the banquet and waste time, it will be impossible to escape. In addition, there are only three Chinese people in the consulate. I have the highest status and the possibility of poisoning is the greatest. Just a little investigation, I will be exposed and sacrifice is inevitable."
Zhan Yuanliang thought very clearly that this action was too dangerous. Even if he didn't go to the banquet hall and only poisoned the kitchen, if he could not evacuate it in time, it would be only a matter of time before he could expose it. So this time, it must be his last action.
Shang Zhenyun looked at Zhan Yuanliang with a deep look and said word by word: "Then you can find a way to enter the banquet hall and try to choose the main goal. This opportunity is too rare. If you don't succeed, you will be successful!"
When Zhan Yuanliang heard this, his hands couldn't help but tremble. Xiao Pingzi almost took off his hand. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes and looked up at Shang Zhenyun tightly. It was obvious that he was going to die.
The air in the room suddenly became tense. Although Zhan Yuanliang was prepared, he was still beyond his previous expectations. As long as he planned it properly and evacuated in time, he still had the possibility of getting out. Now it seems that there is no hope, which makes him hesitate for a moment.
"What? You don't want to?" Shang Zhenyun's voice became cold. "Retreat and disobey military orders. What are the consequences? You know, have you been lurking for a long time and have forgotten the rules?"
Shang Zhenyun has no choice but to take advantage of this mission. If he doesn't seize this opportunity, he is afraid that he will not have any chance in the future.
When Zhan Yuanliang heard that he had already said this, he knew that it was impossible to refuse, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will try my best to determine the goal!"
At this time, Shang Zhenyun took out another photo from his arms and handed it to Zhan Yuanliang, saying, "This person is named Keisuke Ueno. He is a top biochemical expert in Japan, the director of the Qingshui Research Institute, and the head of the Japanese gas factory in Nanjing. We have previously carried out the main goal of destroying the gas factory."
Zhan Yuanliang took the photo, looked at it carefully, and asked: "He is also the target of this operation?"
"Yes!" Shang Zhenyun said solemnly, "We were ordered to destroy the Qingshui Institute and prevent the Japanese from making poisonous gas, but at a huge price, they only destroyed some poisonous gas facilities, which were all cured by the symptoms but not the root cause. Later, we decided to attack people and put our target on Keisuke Ueno. As long as we assassinate this person, the Japanese's poisonous gas production would come to a standstill. However, we carried out several assassinations against him, but in the end they failed and lost many brothers.
I know that the banquet is very large, and Japanese military personnel in Nanjing may participate. This is Keisuke Ueno, who has a very good position in the Japanese army. I guess it is very likely to appear. Anyway, it is a one-time deal. If you can't attack those primary targets tomorrow, then try to find Keisuke Ueno, and take him as the second target of action. As long as you can get rid of him, it will be a great achievement."
Shang Zhenyun has always failed to destroy the poison gas factory and is worried that for this mission, all his brothers around him have sacrificed all their lives. The Nanjing Station has not recovered its vitality so far, so as long as there is a chance, they all want to make up for this regret. Keisuke Ueno is the target he is determined to get rid of.
"I understand, I will pay attention to this person as the second goal!" Zhan Yuanliang nodded and agreed.
Shang Zhenyun thought for a while and said again after a long time: "You clean up, I will pick up your wife and children tonight and send them to Jiangbei to settle down. After you do something tomorrow, if you can escape alive, go directly to Jiangbei. Your family will be reunited, if you can't..."
Speaking of this, his tone paused: "I will arrange them and send them back to the rear to ensure that they will be safe and safe in the next life and have no worries about food and clothing."
This is a way out for one's own retreat! Zhan Yuanliang sighed secretly. In order to invade the Japanese consulate, the Japanese only believed that their family lives in Nanjing, had family and immediate relatives, so that they could control it.
For this reason, he quickly found an ordinary woman to marry, so that he could successfully lurk. However, over the years, the two of them respect each other, and the couple was loving, and later they had children, which was no longer different from ordinary families.
Now that the family is taken away as hostages, Zhan Yuanliang has to bow his head and submit. He finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, they can move them away first, otherwise I will be worried and uneasy. I hope you will believe in your words!"
Upon hearing this, Shang Zhenyun said solemnly: "You have made contributions to the Party and the State, and I cannot make things difficult for your family. I swear that if there is any accident, I will treat them well and never break my promise!"
The two of them had decided to discuss the matter, and time was tight, so Zhan Yuanliang quickly went to explain the situation to his wife. Soon the sound of a woman sobbing came from the room. After a long time, he stopped.
The couple packed up valuables and finally woke up the two children. They should be dressed neatly and brought them to Shang Zhenyun.
"I've left it to you, please give me everything!" Zhan Yuanliang begged with a look of pleading. At the beginning of tomorrow's action, his lurking life ended. He would never care about the safety of his family and his future life. He could only believe that Shang Zhenyun could trust his words and live up to his responsibilities.
Chapter completed!
