Cheng Qianfan was excited inside. He didn't expect to learn about Masao Nishida from Imamura Hitaro.
According to Imamura Hitaro, Nishida Masao was appointed by the "Imperial" base camp and came to Shanghai to serve as the squad leader of the General Services Squad of the Shanghai Sender Force, coordinating and managing and leading the work of the Shanghai spy agencies.
"Sir." Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise, "Iwai Mansion will also be led by the Imperial Military?"
As he said that, he picked up the thermos bottle and refilled the teacup of Imamura Hitotaro, and removed the other teacup and placed it on the table at the door.
"This is not the case." Imamura Hitaro shook his head. The Iwai Mansion that was being constructed was the leader of Consul General Iwai Hideichi and was not a military secret service agency.
"However, the situation is special at this stage." Iwai Eiichi said for a moment, "The position currently held by General Nishida is only a temporary photographer to coordinate the leadership of various Shanghai agencies. We cannot avoid being affected by its jurisdiction."
As he said that, Hitaro Imamura looked at Cheng Qianfan, "The empire's occupation of Shanghai has become an inevitable trend. At that time, the concession will become a place for Shanghai's anti-Japanese forces to hide. General Nishida's Masao's goal is to strengthen the control of the concession, maximize the scope of activities of Shanghai's anti-Japanese forces, and ultimately completely eliminate them."
"Shanghai is the largest city in the Far East, and occupying Shanghai is only the first step." Imamura Hitotaro looked at Kentaro Miyazaki who was respectfully stopped his "taught" and felt very relieved.
"Miyazaki Kan, tell me what you think of Shanghai." Imamura Hitaro suddenly asked a question.
"Shanghai is China's economic center and the largest city in the Far East." Cheng Qianfan said while thinking, "Shanghai has many powerful people. In addition to our great Japanese Empire, the British, French, Americans, Soviet Russia, Germany, and even the Netherlands, Italy, etc. all have interests in Shanghai."
Cheng Qianfan paused for a moment and thought, "The empire occupied Chinese cities such as Peking and Tianjin. However, the city of Shanghai is a more special existence. The empire not only needs to occupy Shanghai, but also stabilize the situation in Shanghai, so that the largest city in the Far East shines brightly in the hands of the empire."
"What else?" Imamura Hitaro nodded in praise and asked.
"And it is to show the majesty of the Great Japanese Empire to the great powers of Britain, the United States, France and other European and American powers!" Cheng Qianfan said with a bit of fanaticism in his serious expression.
"That's exactly that." Imamura Hitaro laughed.
Kentaro Miyazaki is a smart young man, but he is smart, with limited vision and knowledge before, and his analysis and viewing problems are limited. Now, it is worthwhile that he teaches Kentaro Miyazaki, and this young man has made great progress.
This sense of accomplishment in cultivating young people who are optimistic about makes progress make Imamura Hitotaro very pleased and happy.
Although Imamura Hitaro did not make it clear, Cheng Qianfan realized the potential meaning expressed in his words.
Masao Nishida wanted to extend the tentacles of the Japanese secret service to every corner of the concession, control the concession, and strangle the anti-Japanese forces that use the concession as their hiding place and activity base.
In this process, no matter which side it is, as long as it can help General Nishida complete the goal of initial control of the concession, it will be recognized and favored by General Nishida Masao, the entire Shanghai Expeditionary Army, and even the military headquarters and the base camp.
Imura Hitaro, no, to be precise, Iwai Hideichi behind Imura Hitaro, has been extended to the "Iwai Mansion" he is preparing, and wants to take this opportunity to show his strength and show it.
Or, to put it more bluntly, this is an opportunity to show your face in Shanghai's dispatched troops, military headquarters, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, base camps and even cabinets.
Given the special identity of "Kentaro Miyazaki" and his influence and potential influence in the French Concession, Cheng Qianfan can play a very clever and important role in Japan's plan to control the concession.
"Myong-kun may not be able to tell you for some reasons." Imamura Hitotaro's face was filled with the smile of the division commander appreciating the students, "This is your opportunity, Miyazaki-kun, take it well."
Cheng Qianfan immediately realized the potential meaning of this sentence:
Sanbenchilang doesn't pay much attention to you and is honest enough.
I value you and appreciate you, so there is nothing that cannot be said.
This is your chance to show your face in front of important generals of the Empire, and even the high-level of the Empire. It is my chance to give you the opportunity. Then, you must understand your position!
Cheng Qianfan was so grateful that he bowed respectfully to Imamura Hitotaro, "Miusa's teachings and love for Miyazaki, Miyazaki feels heartfelt, the scorching sun of the empire will never set, in Miyazaki's heart, Mr. is as majestic as Mount Fuji. Miyazaki has long made a vow to follow Mr. in this life and follow Mr.
This is a bit numb, Imamura Hitotaro said to himself.
However, he really liked it and was very satisfied.
...
After leaving Imamura mansion, Cheng Qianfan held an umbrella and walked for a distance.
After confirming that no one was following him, he turned back more than a hundred steps, entered an alley, and walked out of a small path in the middle of the alley.
He looked around and walked towards a car parked by the road.
Cheng Qianfan was about to knock on the car window glass.
The window glass was shaken down.
"Brother Fan." Li Hao said.
"Not bad." Cheng Qianfan smiled, "Already alert."
Cheng Qianfan got on the back seat and saw the fried steamed buns placed on the seat. He directly twisted one with his hands, stuffed it into his mouth, and nodded with satisfaction.
Turning his head and seeing Brother Fan having fun eating, Li Hao grinned, "Brother Fan, where are you going? Are you going back to Yandeli?"
"Go back to your house." Cheng Qianfan said, "You drive over the car and lend me your foreign car."
"I know." Li Hao heard this and knew that Brother Fan had something to do, so he stopped talking and fired the car directly.
Cheng Qianfan was thinking about things while eating raw steamed buns.
When he first arrived at Imamura Hitotaro's house, who was the short and fat man who came down from the building, over fifty years old?
He had never seen this person before at Imamura Hitaro's house.
First, Hitotaro Imamura met with this person in the study, and Hitotaro Imamura went downstairs and personally sent the person away, which is enough to show that Hitotaro Imamura attached great importance to this person:
Whether it is because this person is close to Hitotaro Imamura, a close confidant, or his identity and status, Imamura's attitude towards him is not simple.
In addition, in Imamura Hitotaro's study, Cheng Qianfan picked up the thermos bottle and refilled the teacup of Imamura Hitotaro's teacup and removed another teacup.
The other tea cup was probably used by the short and fat man before.
The kettle only has half a pot of water, which means that the two of them have refilled water many times, which in turn means that the two have been meeting for a long time.
In addition, the water in both tea cups was already cold.
Cheng Qianfan calculated that it took a few minutes from the time he entered Imamura Hitotaro's room to the time when he took the initiative to help Imamura renew the water. In early October, there was not much chilling.
The water in the teacup cannot cool down so quickly.
In addition, the water in the tea cup used by guests is only one-quarter.
This shows that Imamura and visitors were only concerned about talking and discussing things at the last moment, and even forgot to renew the water for the guests.
Imamura Hitaro has always valued etiquette.
What happened that made the host so busy that he forgot to refill the water for the guests?
Thinking of the gloomy face of the short and fat man when he left, it shows that the two of them were obviously not reminiscing about the past and talking about some romantic affairs, they must be discussing major events, and they may even have quarrels over something.
Cheng Qianfan's mind seemed to be playing a movie, "constructing" the "process" of the short and fat man and Imamura Hitaro's meeting this time, and recalling some details of this person.
When a man walks, his right foot is heavier and the center of gravity is on his right foot, which means that there is an injury to the left foot, which may not be caused by injuries, but may also be due to the poor legs and feet of the elderly, which is slightly unfavorable for walking.
When the man talked to Imamura Hitotaro, he used Japanese and had a certain accent.
Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly in this accent. He could not tell where the accent was from Japan for a moment.
This short and fat man in his fifties aroused his great emotions. (To be continued)
