Agents of the Republic of China

At this time, Lin Xiaotang was lying comfortably in the newly built hot spring hotel.The hot spring hotel was just completed and opened last month. Although Lin Xiaotang was not in Shanghai, the opening ceremony was still extremely popular. The new service concept directly stimulated the consumption desire of Shanghainese to the brim.

On the day of welcoming guests at the opening, a group of rich men from Shanghai and members of gangs stood in the lobby of the hotel, hesitantly refusing to go in, which made Datou and Fatty Shen almost unable to get off the stage. Only when they asked questions did they know that it was the distinguished guests. Seeing that there are waitresses in the men's department, and that the men's and women's VIP lounges are all together, that's why I'm embarrassed to go in.Helpless, Datou and Fatty Shen had no choice but to demonstrate in person, put on the VIP clothes provided by the special hot spring hotel, and walked into the hot spring swaggeringly. Only then did a group of wealthy people suddenly realize that it is not necessary to take off clean and smooth to enter the bathhouse.Only then did he boldly take his wife or aunt into the hot spring hotel.

After they came out, the name of the hot spring hotel resounded throughout Shanghai Bund overnight. Now, this place has become the second place to show their personal identities after the Heroes Nightclub.

Lin Xiaotang just enjoyed a whole set of authentic Thai massage, and he praised Ke Xing who introduced this set of techniques. Ke Xing's black face was covered with red light. Since the opening of the hot spring hotel, Ke Xing has a kind of The feeling of exhaling and raising eyebrows, as if the hat of a playboy that was worn on his head before is gone forever.

Shang Zhensheng walked out of the steaming room with a satisfied face. Although he was sweating profusely, he was extremely happy and relaxed.

Ke Xing looked it over and knew that the big shots were about to start talking about things, but he was not interested in it, so he stood up immediately, beckoned the waiter and the massage technician to leave, and brought tea and tea in person. Pastry, just turned over and went out, closed the door, and personally led the people to guard outside.

The big head looked at his back and nodded involuntarily, "Young brat, this uncle is really capable. The things in the station are messed up, but the management of the hotel is very orderly, which helped me a lot."

Lin Xiaotang laughed, showing his neat white teeth, "Of course, everyone's shining points are different. If you can do this, maybe you may be a genius in other areas. Ke Xing is a talent, the key is to see where it is used. aspect."

After chatting for a while, the topic gradually changed to Kawakami Tadaki who had just arrived in Shanghai.Lin Xiaotang was no stranger to this person. When he returned to Nanjing, he had met several times at banquets, but had no specific contact with him. However, he got to know some aspects of this person from the side through Haneda Sora.This person used to be Kenji Doihara's secretary, and worked with him in the Northeast for a period of time. Later, he came to Nanjing to work because of Kenji Doihara's strong recommendation. He has a calm personality and careful thinking, which is very different from Shinichi Yazawa. What personal hobbies, not many words, rather hard work, belongs to the kind of people who are difficult to get in touch with.

Ma Qixiang was a little disdainful, "The situation in Shanghai is not what it used to be, and it cannot be changed by a small Japan. Once Li Shiqun died, the momentum of No. 76 will not be as good as before. It has also been implicated a lot, and it is impossible to restore it to its peak. No matter how capable this little Japan is, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, what else can he do to turn things around?"

Shang Zhensheng shook his head, not quite agreeing with Ma Qixiang's point of view.The recent string of beautiful victories has already made everyone feel a little proud, but it is obviously not the time to be happy yet.Shang Zhensheng's opinion is very simple. It is true that the Japanese army is going downhill, but it is far from being defeated. In the Pacific battlefield, although the Japanese fleet was severely damaged, many islands are still under the control of the Japanese army. If you want to break through the line of defense and wipe out the vital forces of the Japanese, you must fight for each island one by one. In this way, the front and time will definitely be stretched very long.On the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army still has nearly a million troops, and the emptiness in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is only temporary. Once the Japanese army decides to retreat and defend, the million troops cannot be settled overnight.

The situation in Shanghai is also unclear. Number 76 is over, but it doesn’t mean that the Japanese Gendarmerie, Super High School, and Mei Agency are just decorations. They also have strong strength. The activities organized by Lin Xiaotang will still be carried out underground. Especially throwing away the emotion of being a rival in love, at this time, any small mistake may cause disaster.

Lin Xiaotang agreed with Shang Zhensheng's point of view. Under the current situation, maintaining a stable situation is the most important thing. All actions must follow the trend of the world war. This is the safest and safest way.

Lin Xiaotang thought about it carefully, and then said: "The domestic situation is like this, and I have thought about it for a long time. It will take some time for the war to end, and all our operations in Shanghai are on track. From now on, Suzhang will Brother to preside over the overall situation."

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, Ma Qixiang reacted quickly, "Old Qi, what are you trying to say, is it possible that you want to retire and go back to Thailand to reunite with Jiayi for a while?"

Lin Xiaotang smiled and waved his hands, "You have misunderstood me. Jiayi, Youjing, your wife, and brother Suzhang's wife will come to Shanghai soon. We are going to be with our family through wind and rain. There are only a handful of time, so this time they come, we might as well put aside our business and spend some time with them, which can be regarded as compensation."

After hearing this one day, everyone immediately became active, and even Shang Zhensheng, who was usually unsmiling, showed a smile.

Lin Xiaotang's meaning is also very clear, anyway, Shanghai is going to be in chaos for a while, if this is the case, then don't do anything, take this opportunity to spend time with your family, so as not to change.

Lin Xiaotang continued: "I've already made a plan. After half a year or a year, your wives will still go back to Thailand. At that time, the situation will definitely have new developments, and it is also the time for us to launch the final action."

Lin Xiaotang patted Shang Zhensheng's arm, "Brother Suzhang will take care of Shanghai and Nanjing at that time!"

Facing everyone's surprised eyes, Lin Xiaotang said slowly: "I plan to go to Japan."

Lin Xiaotang's words stunned everyone. "Go to Japan? Seventh, you are crazy! What are you going to do in Japan?"

Lin Xiaotang lit a cigarette, and said slowly, "I've been thinking about this for a long time. This trip to Burma taught me a lot. The Japanese are not monolithic, and their infighting is also very Intense, even cruel. Do you know what I am most afraid of now?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

"What I'm most afraid of now is that once the war draws to a close, the Japanese realize that the momentum is wrong and immediately declare an unconditional surrender."

Datou and the others were completely stunned, only Shang Zhensheng showed a thoughtful expression. "Surrender, isn't it good?" Fatty Shen asked hesitantly.

Lin Xiaotang shook his head, "That's the worst ending!"

Lin Xiaotang explained in detail, "Once the Japanese announce their unconditional surrender, their potential military strength and industrial base will be fully preserved, and the most frightening thing is that their militarist ideology and consciousness will also be preserved unscathed. The post-war world will definitely be dominated by the Americans and the Russians. Of these two countries, one has the world’s largest industrial base, while the other has a vast territory, rich products, and a solid industrial base. This will inevitably lead to a new round of confrontation, while Our country will usher in complete independence after the war, and the momentum of development will be rapid, how do you think the United States and Russia will treat such a new power that is about to rise in Asia?"

Shang Zhensheng murmured out a sentence, "Support the opponent! Suppress China!"

Lin Xiaotang clapped his hands, "That's right, who is China's new opponent?" Lin Xiaotang laughed suddenly, "What new opponent, the opponent is ready-made, who else can there be besides Japan?"

"So?" The big head seemed to understand a little bit.

"So", Lin Xiaotang waved his hand vigorously, "So, I will weaken Japan to the extreme! Let it not be relieved within 100 years!"

Coming out of the VIP room, Ma Qixiang, Datou, Fatty Shen and others all showed deep thoughts on their faces, and even their steps were a little unusually heavy. Lin Xiaotang knew that they still needed time to digest their views and opinions.

Shang Zhensheng did not leave, but poured a cup of tea for Lin Xiaotang, solemnly raised it, "Youzhong, I respect you for this cup of tea!"

Lin Xiaotang didn't refuse, and drank it all in one gulp. "Brother Suzhang, I won't hide it from you. When I was in Tianmu Mountain, I had already exchanged opinions with Yan'an on the things I just said. Although it is really a bit bold and the chance of success is not high, but for the sake of the country and the nation, I have to try it. When Jiayi and the others come, I hope you can keep it a secret for me and don’t tell them, especially Jiayi and Shangzhi.”

Shang Zhensheng nodded, "I understand, but I still want you to think about it. After all, it is Japan's mainland. The resources and manpower are not as good as those in China, and the danger is too great."

Lin Xiaotang replied: "I will be careful. The opportunity is right in front of me. If I don't give it a try, I will not feel at ease in this life. On the contrary, it is you who will trouble you in organizing things in the future."

"Also!" Lin Xiaotang suddenly thought of something, "Brother Suzhang, you choose an opportunity to relocate the manpower and strength of the organization to overseas in batches. You understand domestic disputes, we'd better not get involved, I'd better I hope to make a big splash overseas. Or how about starting in Japan?"

Shang Zhensheng frowned and thought for a while, "This is a good idea. Since we want to do it in Japan, we might as well use Longsheng to send some resources and manpower there, which will also help us control the new area."

Shang Zhensheng suddenly smiled, "Speaking of manpower, I can think of a few people, all of whom are your favorite disciples, and they are very suitable candidates?"

"Oh? Who?"

"Bai Jinwen, Feng Yunxiu, and a few young people from the Jagged Youth League!"
