Spy War: I am the Living King of Hell

Chapter 282 "Mei Agency"

Unable to exert his influence in Shanghai, Wang Tianhai began to think about going to Tokyo to negotiate with the Japanese.

Ever since he escaped from the mountain city, it has been his subordinates who have been in contact with the Japanese. Although the two sides have signed many agreements and reached a lot of cooperation, the really important thing has not been discussed yet, that is, Wang Tianhai’s establishment of a puppet government.

Therefore, Wang Tianhai wanted to take this opportunity to go to Japan, reach cooperation with the Japanese, and establish a national government led by him as soon as possible.

Little did they know that in order to control Wang Tianhai, the Japanese were also making their own plans at this time.

For this purpose, Japan established the "Ume Agency" in Shanghai. The "Ume Agency" was specifically responsible for handling matters related to Wang's reclamation and was composed of personnel appointed by the Japanese Army, Navy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, House of Representatives, and Manchuria Railway Investigation Department.

Because the agency was located in a three-story building called "Meihuatang" in the Japanese community in Hongkou, Shanghai, it was called the "Mei Agency."

The "Ume Agency" was headed by Inukai Osamu, and its army members included Tanichi Koji (Colonel), Ichida Hirokazu (Lieutenant Colonel), and Haruki Eitake (Lieutenant Colonel); navy members included Suga Fujio (Major General) and Ogi Tetsuji (Major); and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs included Secretary Shimizu. In addition, members of the Asia Development Board and many civilian figures joined.

After the establishment of the "Ume Agency", Inukai felt that it was inappropriate for Wang Tianhai and others to continue living in Tobira's mansion.

It's okay to live there for a short period of time, but if you live there for a long time, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from the outside world. Therefore, Inukainan ordered his subordinates to help Wang Tianhai find a suitable place to live as soon as possible.

Not long after, his subordinates reported that the residence of Wang Boqun, the former White Party Minister of Transportation, at Lane 1236, Yuyuan Road, west Shanghai, was very suitable and could be used as Wang Tianhai's mansion.

After receiving the news, Inukai went to check it out in person. If it was suitable, he would let Wang Tianhai move in as soon as possible.

After seeing it, Inukai was very satisfied with the mansion that his subordinates had chosen for Wang Tianhai. This mansion was a very gorgeous Western-style garden, which was built by Wang Boqun to house his mistress.

Lane 1236 is a relatively long lane with only one exit facing Yuyuan Road. It is very quiet and safe.

There are more than ten independent garden houses in the lane, which can be occupied by other senior executives of Wang Tianhai Group, making it convenient for Wang Tianhai to work.

In order to ensure the safety of Wang Tianhai and others, Inukaino asked No. 76 to be responsible for the security of Wang Tianhai's residence.

After receiving the news, Ding Mocun was very happy. In fact, he had visited Wang Tianhai once during this period and expressed his intention to join Wang Tianhai. Wang Tianhai also accepted him, but Wang Tianhai was in many inconveniences at the moment and did not talk to him much, so the two sides only met once.

Now the Japanese have asked him to be responsible for the security of Wang Tianhai's residence, which is exactly what he wants. He can use this to curry favor with Wang Tianhai.

After Li Qun's death, although Ding Mocun successfully took over the responsibility of No. 76, he still felt a strong sense of crisis. The main reason for this was that his relationship with the Japanese was not as close as Li Qun's, and his ability was not as strong as Li Qun's.

Now that Wang Tianhai has come to Shanghai, Ding Mocun feels that this is his chance. If he joins Wang Tianhai and makes Wang Tianhai his backer, his position in the future will be much more stable.

In order to ensure the safety of Wang Tianhai and others, Ding Mocun personally led people to Wang Tianhai's residence to make arrangements. He ordered people to install barbed wire on the walls of each household and iron fences on the doors and windows. Outside Wang Tianhai's residence, Ding Mocun also set up a watchtower specifically to serve Wang Tianhai.

In addition, Ding Mo Village also sent a guard brigade to be responsible for the safety of the entire lane, even though Wang Tianhai and others have not moved in yet.

Ding Mocun also set rules for the guard brigade responsible for guarding Wang Tianhai. No one was allowed to approach the place without a special pass.

From this point of view, although Ding Mocun is not as capable as Li Qun, he is better at flattering than Li Qun. This may be the reason why Ding Mocun holds a higher position than him in the White Party.

……

At noon that day, Yang Xuewu received a call from Mei Jie, who asked Yang Xuewu to meet her in the French Concession. The meeting place was still the same coffee shop as last time. The three of them had already agreed that if there were no unexpected circumstances, they would meet in the coffee shop in the future.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Xuewu came to the coffee shop and saw only Sister Mei. Zhan Jiang was not there. After the two finished their coffee, they went to the deserted river again.

"Sister Mei, what's the urgent matter you want to discuss with me?" Yang Xuewu asked.

"Learn martial arts. The Japanese have set up a new spy organization in Shanghai called the "Mei Agency". Have you heard about it?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xuewu shook his head. Although he had heard of the name "Mei Machinery" in later lives, he didn't know much about it. In this life, he had indeed not heard of any news about the "Mei Machinery".

"Study martial arts. These past two days, Zhan Jiang and I have received news about the "Mei Agency" at Tongwen Academy and the Japanese Navy Club."

"The Ume Agency is a newly established Japanese spy organization. Its founder is Inu Yang Nan. Many Japanese departments are involved. It is specifically responsible for handling matters related to Wang Tianhai."

"Sister Mei, why is this spy organization called the 'Mei Agency'?" Yang Xuewu asked puzzledly.

"According to the information I received, the reason why the 'Mei Agency' is called the 'Mei Agency' is because its headquarters is called a place called 'Meihua Hall'."

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu nodded to show that he understood, and continued to ask: "Sister Mei, you asked me to come here because you want to take action against the "Mei Agency"."

"Yes, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xuewu thought for a while. Wang Tianhai has not been very helpful recently, so dealing with the newly established "Mei Agency" could be a way to kill time.

It just so happened that he also felt that dealing with traitors during this period was not enough, and now dealing with the Japanese devils was just what he wanted.

"Sister Mei, I agree."

"Okay, so shall we act together or separately?"

"Sister Mei, let's act separately. To be honest, I'm used to acting alone and not with others. Of course, if it's necessary to act together, I have no problem with that."

"If you want to learn martial arts, then we should act separately. In fact, Zhan Jiang and I are used to working together, so it's a little strange to suddenly add another person." Sister Mei said with a smile.

"Sister Mei, where's Zhan Jiang? Why didn't she come?"

"I asked her to go to Hongkou to inquire about the address of "Meihuatang." Sister Mei replied.

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu nodded, and discussed with Sister Mei how to deal with the "Mei Agency", and then both parties left.

After parting with Sister Mei, Yang Xuewu went straight to Fengwei Tower. He didn't know where the "Meihua Hall" was, so he needed to ask Chu Xin.

After the two met, Yang Xuewu explained his purpose. Chu Xin first ordered people to check the location of "Meihuatang". Then the two of them got together like dry wood and immediately the room caught fire.
