On the other side, in a room in the Japanese residential area in Shanghai.

Zhou Xiaofeng sat on a sofa, looking at the young officer in front of her with a very calm expression on her face. It could even be said that the relationship between the two seemed a little disharmonious.

"Ms. Fengzi, what do you think of my suggestion? After all, I think the current situation is not favorable for the empire. I think we should also consider ourselves."

"Major Watanabe, didn't you believe that the Empire would definitely defeat China and conquer the world? Why do you seem a little discouraged now?"

"Alas, who would have thought that a Zhang Tianhao would appear in northern Jiangsu? If there is a Zhang Tianhao, will there be a second or third one? Moreover, the empire is now deeply mired in the quagmire of war. Besides, I am also an intelligence worker, and I am not stupid."

"So that's the case, then why don't you return home?"

Zhou Xiaofeng sat there, gently shaking the red wine, took a small sip, and said lightly: "If it's just like this, it doesn't seem to have any meaning!"

"Haha, that's not the case. After all, the current situation is too unfavorable. If Zhang Tianhao from northern Jiangsu wants to attack us, Nanjing will probably be taken by him. However, I don't think he dares to do that."

"why?"

"If he really attacks Nanjing, or an important strategic location of the empire, the Imperial Headquarters will definitely not allow it and will definitely prioritize eliminating Zhang Tianhao. Now Zhang Tianhao is hiding in northern Jiangsu, and the headquarters feels that the timing is not right to attack northern Jiangsu. The battlefields in various places need troops, so they don't have time to deal with it for the time being."

"It's just that the Empire can't get away. But there is a problem, that is, Zhang Tianhao can't develop. Therefore, attacking northern Jiangsu in the future will cause more trouble. I am no longer optimistic about the Empire."

"So this is how the trial is done!"

Zhou Xiaofeng took another sip and felt countless joy rising in her heart. After all, Zhang Tianhao was doing well and she was happy too.

"By the way, if you want to leave yourself a way out, you must have money. This is what I think. Although I am a major, I can help you with some cover in Shanghai and help you transport some relatively less prohibited materials, which you can then resell!"

"That's no problem. As long as you have supplies, food, steel, farm tools, or anything else, I will buy them all. Don't worry, I will give you 50% of all the proceeds from the supplies. This is after deducting all the expenses. What do you think?"

"Fifty percent, isn't that too little? At least seventy percent. After all, I'm also taking a big risk."

"Major Watanabe, I think you are wrong. I can only get 10% of the 50% I mentioned. You know why, right? The situation in different places is different. If you want to ship it out, you need to arrange it, which costs a lot of money. When it arrives at the dock, you need to arrange it again, which costs another lot of money. I have to pay for this. I have calculated that in all these years, the profit of my business at the best time is only 30%. This time, I will give you 50%, and I will only make 10%. If it is 60%, I will have worked for nothing!"

"How can it be!"

"Major Watanabe, you can go and ask around and you'll find out."

"So where are you going to sell it this time?"

"Su Bei!"

"Over there, you dare to sell it, aren't you afraid that Su Bei will cheat you!"

"I promised the three companies 30% of the profits, what do you think?"

"I see!"

"However, this matter is between you and me, and no one else is allowed to know. After all, the Empire is now blocking northern Jiangsu. Once you are found, I will not prove it for you. If you are in Shanghai, I can still help you."

"I understand. I shipped it from the sea, or from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. You need to issue me a certificate. What do you think?"

"This is no problem!"

However, Watanabe would never have thought that the group of people Zhou Xiaofeng left behind this time were actually Afeng and his men.

They were just disguised as sailors, but every time they came back, Afeng's men would send a sum of Japanese yen to Watanabe, so they became familiar to him.

……

Inside a bookstore in Shanghai's former International Settlement.

Li Changchun was wearing a pair of glasses and a long gown, and he really looked like a bookstore owner. He looked at the time, and it was already past eleven o'clock. He sighed, came to the door, looked around, and carefully prepared to close the door.

At this moment, a crisp but rhythmic sound of footsteps came from not far away, causing his hand that was about to close the door to pause.

"This is……"

He looked through the small doorway and directly to the place not far away. At the same time, he turned off the street light at the door.

As for the house, he even closed half of the door again and propped it up with something to prevent it from being pushed open.

Just as he closed one half of the door, he saw a woman squeeze in from the door and help him close the other half.

"How did you come?"

"Something happened!"

"Oh, then follow me to the back and talk!"

"Ok!"

Neither of them said much. After closing the door, they turned off the lights and walked directly to the back, where was the boss's room.

The middle-aged man took the woman to his room, closed the door, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, why did you come here without telling me in advance?"

"Stationmaster, this is what happened. I made an appointment with Ma Xuanxuan tonight, and we are going to go to Subei together. After all, as you know, it is easy to get in to Subei, but it is still quite difficult to get information. I don't know what's going on with the people there, and it's hard to bribe them. I think..."

"You want to use the honey trap?"

"Well, I still need to think about the specific plan. After all, the people over there are too alert, even the government workers are the same. I'm a little confused now."

"We can use Ma Xuanxuan. If something goes wrong, she will be the best scapegoat. But it will be difficult to succeed this time. I plan to place you in Taizhou. After all, Taizhou has just been incorporated into northern Jiangsu. It shouldn't be that difficult to prevent it, right?"

"Stationmaster, I think it's really difficult. Although Taizhou is newly incorporated, all the staff, even the transferred staff, have been interviewed by Zhang Tianhao and trained. There is no problem in wanting to contact them, but the question is how can we gain their trust?"

"The most important thing is that we need to obtain important intelligence, or the difficulty of infiltrating the army..."

When Chang Huihui thought of this, she felt a headache. After all, this job was really not easy to do.

"I remember that the armies of the Subei Group Army are recruiting some female soldiers. I think I should arrange for someone to apply for a new identity for you to see if you can join the military in Taizhou. I believe that female soldiers have their own advantages."

"This is impossible!"

Li Changchun was also stunned when he heard this, and looked at Chang Huihui with some confusion: "Why?"

"The female soldiers of each army all come from the First Women's Army of Yancheng. As long as they are female soldiers, they must all undergo training in the First Women's Army and then study for at least a year before they can be assigned to various regiments, or the army of various regiment-level and above units in northern Jiangsu. There are no exceptions in these stations."

"Of course, there are some exceptions, and they are often interviewed by Zhang Tianhao himself."

"So that's it."

Upon hearing this, Li Changchun also sighed. After all, he had not expected things to turn out like this. Although there were not many female soldiers in the army in northern Jiangsu, there were some unimportant positions that still needed female soldiers, but all of them came from the First Women's Army.

"How did you hear this news?"

"I also heard Ma Xuanxuan say that she wanted to join the First Women's Army and see if she could join the Subei Group Army. This would be more direct and cost less than other methods."

"Is that so!" (End of this chapter)
