Chapter 447: Pitfall 1 Pitfall on Your Own People

Zhang Anping observed the situation in Shanghai from a "bird's eye view".

After the preheating public opinion was issued, there was not much reaction from the Japanese side. Instead, No. 76 began a large-scale campaign to capture resistance elements. The intention was obvious, which was to prepare for security for the upcoming "Sixth Plenary Session".

Upon seeing this, Zhang Anping launched a second round of public opinion campaign.

This time, he guided the public opinion in the concession and began to popularize science about the "plague". His purpose was very clear, which was to thoroughly awaken the Europeans' deep-seated fear of the "Black Death".

At the same time, Zhang Anping sent an order to each intelligence group, requiring them to strictly investigate all intelligence related to Wang’s fake "Sixth Plenary Session".

The intelligence groups were not surprised by the order from their district chief - Wang was jumping so happily, and given the district chief's style of doing things, how could they allow him to jump around like that?
The heads of the various intelligence groups had no objections, because they were used to their district chief's meticulous planning and his invincibility.

But Minglou is not like that.

Although he resigned from the post of deputy director of the Secret Service Headquarters (No. 76), he did not resign from the title of deputy director of the Secret Service Committee.

On the contrary, as the deputy director, he also controls the financial power of the secret service headquarters. This time, No. 76 applied for a large sum of money for the security work of the Sixth National Congress. Under such circumstances, he felt that investing a lot of manpower and material resources to target the Sixth National Congress would most likely not be worth the cost.

So after learning that the Shanghai station would invest a lot of energy in its layout during this period, he hurriedly found Zhang Anping.

"I do not recommend a large-scale attack on the Sixth National Congress." After meeting with Zhang Anping, Ming Lou directly stated his views:
"No. 76 takes this extremely seriously and has teamed up with the Green Gang for this purpose. I'm not too sure about the Japanese's movements, but the puppet army, No. 76, and the Green Gang alone can provide no less than people for security."

"If we act rashly, I'm worried that the consequences will outweigh the gains."

After listening to this, Zhang Anping asked, "The Green Gang is getting involved again?"

The Green Gang is a broad term, a general term for gang forces in Shanghai. Some of the gang members were extremely hostile to the Japanese invaders. There were many Green Gang members in the rangers after the establishment of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Action Committee.

After the fall of Shanghai, the Japanese were rampant in Shanghai. Many members of the Green Gang wanted to eat them alive, but more members of the Green Gang were indifferent to this and were even happy to cling to the Japanese.

However, Zhang Anping carried out targeted elimination of Green Gang traitors many times, even the leader Zhang Xiaolin was eliminated. In addition, a group of the most enthusiastic gang traitors were cleansed out. Therefore, the Green Gang was relatively honest for a long period of time before, and basically would not collude with the Japanese in a blatant manner.

Of course, there were still many people who secretly flirted with the Japanese and kept in touch with them.

Zhang Anping originally thought that the suppressed Green Gang would not interfere with Wang's establishment of a pseudo-government, but he did not expect that he guessed wrong!
Ming Lou smiled bitterly and said, “Wang has thrown out a big bait that cannot be refused.”

He explained:
"Wang used the Sixth National Congress delegates and the Sixth Committee members as bait to tempt many members of the Green Gang."

Gang members, in the final analysis, are bandits. The titles of delegates to the Sixth National Congress and members of the Sixth Committee are really tempting to these people!

Zhang Anping shook his head and sighed. This person's desire is really...

He paused and asked curiously:
"What kind of identity do you have?"

Ming Lou said: "Zhou Fuhai promised me that after this meeting, he would give me the status of a committee member. In addition, after the new government is established, he can recommend me to be the deputy director of the Finance Department."

"Oh, right. Zhou Fohai attaches great importance to the power of the Special Affairs Committee. Ding Mocun has also been appointed as a member, and many people in No. 76 have been appointed as representatives. I heard Zhou Fohai say that the Sixth Plenary Session will be held either at the New Asia Hotel or at No. 76."

Hearing that many of the agents from No. 76 had even gotten the status of a representative, Zhang Anping couldn't help but laugh and said, "If I'm 'alive', I'll also have to be given the status of a 'committee member'?"

According to the rules, the committee members are elected after the Sixth Plenary Session - but this is only in theory.

Zhang Anping naturally looked down on this identity, but he knew that whether it was a representative or a committee member, it was extremely attractive to many traitors.

After laughing, he muttered, "We need to give Mr. Wang some eye drops. It would be funny if he couldn't even gather enough representatives at the critical moment."

Ming Lou couldn't help but knock on the table:

"I object to you doing this!"

He said in a deep voice, "Because of the big bait thrown by Mr. Wang, No. 76 took it very seriously this time. Yesterday, they applied to me for a sum of money for the subsequent security work. Even if only half of this money is in place, the manpower mobilized is not small. In addition, with the cooperation of the Japanese army, if they want to cause trouble at the Sixth National Congress, something bad will happen if they are not careful."

To ordinary people, the job of a spy seems to have the power of life and death, but in the eyes of those in power, it is not worthy of being a spy.

When facing those in power, spies will not be as unscrupulous as they are when facing ordinary people - this is also the reason why the Wang faction was able to easily commit treason and why some people still escape from Chongqing to join the Wang faction.

Ding Mo-cun's ability to occupy a seat as a committee member in the Sixth National Congress means that his status in the pseudo-government that is about to be established will rise. In this case, it is conceivable that he will work hard to ensure the security of the Sixth National Congress.

This is also the reason for Minglou's reaction.

Seeing Minglou's fierce opposition, Zhang Anping smiled and asked:
"Why are you so sure that I will do something to the Sixth National Congress?"

Minglou looked at Zhang Anping speechlessly. Is there any need to ask this?
You, Zhang Anping, could tolerate the Japanese's major actions since they occupied Shanghai, but as long as the traitors became restless, how could you ever let them live in peace?

From the day the Dadao government was established to now, in almost two years, have you ever allowed the traitors to hold a high-profile "rally" in peace?

Zhang Anping understood Minglou's meaning and laughed, "Yeah, they are so sure that I will start a war. I guess even Wang and his men are still worried. I guess they will choose No. 76 in the end to ensure the smooth convening of the damn Sixth National Congress."

Minglou has a toothache. Judging from Zhang Anping's tone, does he really have to take action?

"Are you really confident?"

Hearing the question, Zhang Anping couldn't help but think:
If the Sixth Plenary Session is really held on the 76th, then... it would be possible to catch all these traitors in one fell swoop!
He couldn't help wondering:
[Troopers were transferred from the Songhu Detachment. During this period, they entered the tunnels under the Special High Section one after another. They burst out on the day of the Sixth National Congress and rushed to No. 76 from the Special High Section. With the support of the spies inside No. 76, the success rate was frighteningly high! ]

[No, because I have a precedent of using grenade launchers and mortars to attack. It is very likely that No. 76 will conduct a survey within three kilometers three days before the Sixth National Congress. For safety reasons, people must be arranged to go into the tunnel five days in advance.]

[The tunnel can hold up to 300 people at most, and they need to prepare at least six to seven days of water and food for these 300 people. Once they launch an attack, this monitoring line of the Special High Section will be useless.]

[The sudden appearance of these 76 people will definitely scare the Japanese and seize the initiative, but the numbers are at a disadvantage. Even if there is support, they must rush into No. as soon as possible. Even so, they will be surrounded and these people will die! ]

[But even so, we may not be able to control and kill the traitors who attended the meeting as soon as we break into No. 76. We only have a % chance of success at best...]

The more Zhang Anping calculated, the more he felt that this was not worth it. If he had at least a 70% chance of winning, he would be willing to gamble with three hundred loyal men. However, the best chance of winning would not exceed 40%, and it might even be as low as less than 10% because of the Japanese sending troops over. In this case, he could not possibly gamble with four or five hundred people.

The entire layout cannot be limited to this aspect. Various coordination must be made in other aspects. The Japanese, who suffered heavy losses in the July 7 Uprising and the August 13 Uprising last year, have blocked the evacuation nodes in the city. It is extremely difficult to evacuate from Shanghai after the uprising as in the past!

Ming Lou was initially certain that Zhang Anping was going to take action against the Sixth National Congress, but seeing that Zhang Anping was lost in deep thought, he became uncertain. When Zhang Anping came back to his senses, he asked tentatively:
"Have you never thought of disrupting the Sixth Plenary Session?"

Zhang Anping shrugged: "I'm not stupid."

Minglou was going crazy. Did I just talk in vain for so long?

Zhang Anping, who particularly liked to "tease" Ming Lou, saw that Ming Lou looked unhappy, and hurriedly said, "I'll give you a task."

"Speak." Minglou's answer sounded like he was gritting his teeth.

"I remember you have a few spies sent by the Japanese, right? You secretly investigate Li Weigong!"

Ming Lou was stunned, forgetting his previous anger: "Didn't you accept him?"

When Li Weigong first rebelled, Minglou wanted to kill him - Li Weigong didn't know him, but he knew Mingcheng!

Mingcheng was the first student of the Guanwang Temple training class, and Li Weigong was one of the founders of Guanwang Temple. Although Mingcheng and Guanwang Temple were slightly different in their periods, he could definitely not escape Li Weigong's eyes!

Mingcheng’s identity has been confirmed, can Minglou escape?

But Zhang Anping stopped his action, and he guessed that Li Weiguang had not completely betrayed, otherwise the Japanese would definitely know who Zhang Xiao was.

Zhang Anping then asked back: "Do you think I would trust someone who would easily sell out his men? Would I keep him as a bomb?"

Ming Lou suddenly realized that it was right. He also understood that Zhang Anping must have other plans, and he probably wanted Li Weigong to "build his trust", so he agreed.

……

On one hand, Minglou was asked to investigate Li Weigong secretly, while on the other hand, Zhang Anping sneaked into Li Weigong's house and told him:

"Brother Weigong, Minglou is investigating you - go to the Japanese in a few days and tell them about Minglou's investigation of you, and report it to Matsumuro Yoshitaka!"

Although Zhang Anping did not tell him Ming Lou's true identity, Li Weigong guessed Ming Lou's identity after seeing that Ming Cheng was Ming Lou's adjutant. After hearing what Zhang Anping said, he realized that Zhang Anping wanted to make the two of them "mortal enemies."

"Okay. Brother Anping, I was just planning to look for you - Zhou Fuhai asked me to contact some people who will attend the upcoming Sixth National Congress as representatives." Li Weigong presented his information.

"Who are they?"

“Some party committee members in Shanghai and Jiangsu.”

After the fall of Songhu, many people who held positions in the Kuomintang did not leave their homeland.

Some of them were unwilling to work for the Japanese, but others were willing to cater to the new masters. Li Weiguang mentioned the latter, and these people had an identity, that is, representatives of the Fifth National Congress - their participation gave people the feeling that it could highlight the legitimacy of the Sixth National Congress.

There were many such people in Shanghai, and many of them were secretly flirting with the Japanese. However, their status as representatives and members of party committees at all levels made Zhang Anping afraid to act rashly. Without orders from above or solid evidence, he did not dare to kill them.

After hearing the information provided by Li Weigong, Zhang Anping suddenly came up with a plan:

"Brother Weigong, since these people are going to attend the Sixth National Congress, then...then don't they have to show their sincerity?"

Zhang Anping's words made Li Weigong feel strange, but he immediately understood:

"Let them jointly publish a declaration in the newspaper in support of Wang and against Chiang?"

Zhang Anping nodded.

Li Weigong understood what Zhang Anping wanted to do and immediately assured him, "This is not difficult."

"Brother Weigong, you can't do this yourself."

"I understand, I understand!" Li Weigong nodded, thinking that Zhang Anping was cautious in this regard.

Zhang Anping asked what he was most concerned about: "How is Kakuei Imura doing?"

In Zhang Anping's plan, Kakuei Imura is a key figure because he needs to use Kakuei Imura to obtain the organizational location of the Rongzi 1644 Unit in Shanghai.

"This person is difficult to deal with. I tried to curry favor with him, but he was quite distant towards me."

Zhang Anping took out three gold bars:

"Brother Weigong, I will have someone set up a trap for his family. By then, this person will need money. This is an opportunity."

"I understand."

……

Li Weigong's progress in conquering Kakuei Imura was slower than Zhang Anping had imagined, and for Zhang Anping, time was extremely precious - he had to complete the evidence collection work before the closing of the Sixth Plenary Session, but he had not even obtained the location yet.

Zhang Anping realized that this was not going to work, so he decided to try a different approach.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Anping finally had an idea.

According to the Japanese style of doing things, the Shanghai branch of Unit 1644 could not simply study viruses and bacteria, but would inevitably conduct inhumane live experiments.

An experiment using Chinese people as living subjects!

They are unlikely to arrest people on the street, and because it is a secret experiment, they must ensure that there are no omissions due to living subjects.

【prison!】

It is very likely that the Japanese will secretly "transfer" people from the prison, and the targets will be some of those who have been executed.

Only in this way can we avoid omissions.

After realizing this, Zhang Anping immediately made arrangements - he sent out multiple teams to monitor several prisons, and once they found a closed car, they would immediately track it and thus determine the opponent's location.

At the same time, people were also sent to secretly contact the prison guards. These things would certainly not be hidden from the prison guards, and as long as the operation was done properly, relevant information would be obtained.

After arranging these, Zhang Anping went to find his two shareholders and agents.

This time, York and Bianchi were both there. When they saw Zhang Anping, York said in fluent Chinese, "Dear Zhang, there is an old Chinese saying that one does not visit a temple for no reason - I guess you must have something to worry about!"

Bianchi said, "York, please don't show off your poor Chinese. Zhang, I think I speak better than him."

"You're both right - now, let's get down to business. I do have something important to discuss with you," Zhang Anping's eyes swept over the two of them, finally landing on Bianchi, who was often on business trips:

"Bianchi, I have a great mission for you. It concerns the lives and safety of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people. Are you willing to accept it?"

"Zhang, you are too partial!" York said dissatisfiedly: "Why Bianchi? I can do it too!"

Bianchi said arrogantly: "No, you are too fat."

Zhang Anping held back his laughter.

When I met them, both of them were like sticks;

When they came to Shanghai, these two guys were very skinny - probably because they were busy in the supermarket.

Now, Bianchi, who is always on the move, looks older and thinner, while York has gained at least 40 pounds.

York muttered, "I spent at least $30,000 to raise this!"

"Let's get down to business - I need you to go on a business trip to Suzhou."

Bianchi pretended to listen - he and York were no longer the down-and-out teenagers they once were, but the magical Zhang was still so magical in their eyes.

It was not only because Zhang Anping led them out of the quagmire, but also because Zhang had given them too many surprises over the years. They were now fully grown, but the more so, the more amazed and admiring they were of the magical Zhang.

The real underground emperor of Shanghai!
This is the two people's common understanding of Zhang Anping, and more than three years ago, the three of them came to Shanghai together.

Zhang Anping said solemnly: "After you go to Suzhou, find a place outside the city to stay for a day. When you return to Suzhou, you will have a fever."

Bianchi looked puzzled: "Flirting?"

"It's a fever - you know typhoid, right? You have to act out the symptoms of typhoid. This must be known to more people, but you must ensure that it won't be leaked. Do you understand?"

Bianchi didn't know what typhoid fever was, so he said, "Play the role of a patient with a fever, right?"

"Right - let's put it this way. I'll arrange a few people for you to finish this play with you. Tomorrow morning you take them away from Shanghai. Remember, this matter must be kept secret!"

"OK!" (End of this chapter)
