Agents of the Republic of China

In the evening, Lin Xiaotang came out of the hot spring hotel comfortably. A hot bath and a whole set of authentic Thai massage made him feel extremely comfortable.At eight o'clock, it was a dinner hosted by the puppet Shanghai Municipal Government for the newly appointed head of the Super High School Tadaki Kawakami. Knowing his personality and preferences, Wu Songgao, who succeeded Chen Gongbo as the mayor of Shanghai, Therefore, the scale of the dinner was reduced, and only some officials of the puppet government were invited. Lin Xiaotang, as the supervisor of Qingxiang affairs appointed by the Nanjing government, was also invited.

The location of the dinner party was arranged in a villa behind the Huizhong Hotel. Wu Songgao obviously knew Chuan Shangzhonghui's preferences very well, knowing that he didn't like to make publicity, so he booked this small villa with a quiet environment and was unobtrusive. .

From the very beginning of the dinner party, Lin Xiaotang began to look carefully at the new commander of the super advanced class.The death of Yazawa Shinichi seems to be seamless on the surface, but after careful consideration, there are still many doubts. Lin Xiaotang believes that this successor, Kawakami Tadaki, will definitely think about it. As for whether he is willing to work on this aspect Thinking, this is not something that Lin Xiaotang can decide.But Lin Xiaotang's personality has always been to plan ahead. As a potential opponent to face, Lin Xiaotang is more willing to put all possible difficulties in front of him.

A neat military uniform, neat appearance, aged between 45 and 50 years old, no smoking, occasional drinking, no restraint or other accessories on the fingers of both hands, but wearing an obviously old watch on the wrist, all the details It all shows that Kawakami Tadaki is a very cautious person who does not pursue excessive materialistic life. Compared with Yazawa Shinichi, this person is obviously another type.

Kawakami Tadaki's eyes glanced at Lin Xiaotang, who was smiling and toasting frequently. He had a strong interest in this young and somewhat outrageous Shanghai upstart.Not only because of the ambiguous relationship between him and his adopted daughter, but more importantly, as a colleague of the first department of the special high school, and as one of the participants of the "Golden Lily" project, he learned something from Yazawa Shinichi. Based on Lin Xiaotang's information, Kawakami Zhonghui also regarded Lin Xiaotang as one of the factors of instability in Shanghai.Kawakami Tadaki has deep doubts about the background of this young man. Of course, at present, all of this is just suspicion.

The two touched a few glasses of wine, Kawakami Tadaki tasted it lightly, Lin Xiaotang drank it down boldly, the eyes of the two met inadvertently, they both showed a tentative smile, neither of them talked too much .

Yuan Jianfeng has returned from Nanjing, and this is the first time Lin Xiaotang has seen him since Tianmu Mountain.He looked haggard in spirit, sitting at the bottom of the wine table, except for a social clink, he was basically drinking by himself, and the bottle of whiskey next to him quickly ran out.

Zhuang Chongxian was extremely active, clinking glasses with Sasaki and Kawakami Tadaki non-stop on various topics. He knew very well that if he wanted to control No. 76, it largely depended on these two Japanese.Because according to rumors, the Nanjing government's military adviser Kenshiro Shibayama and the head of the Ume organization Shinichi Nakajima have entrusted Sasaki and Kawakami Tadaki to recommend candidates for the new helm of No. 76.

These two people have also become the most stark contrast on the wine table. Many people speculate that Yuan Jianfeng's acting director is also going to be the leader. There is no foundation, and of course no one will come to help him at this time.And Zhuang Chongxian endured it for so many years, and Li Shiqun, who had been pressing on his head, was no longer there, and he had deliberately narrowed the distance with the dignitaries in Nanjing over the years, so this time his hope was indeed the greatest. The fringe department has no meaning to exist. If you can control the Secret Service Headquarters at this time, it will undoubtedly be like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate and becoming a blockbuster.

The dinner ended satisfactorily in a lively atmosphere. Although Sasaki and Kawakami Tadaki did not clearly indicate the ownership of No. 76, their warm attitude towards Zhuang Chongxian aroused many people's infinite reverie.

Lin Xiaotang was the last to leave. Originally, he thought that he would not have to say hello to Chuan Shangzhonghui, but when he went out, he found that neither Sasaki nor Kawakami Zhonghui had left, but were chatting at the gate. I can't even say hello.

Lin Xiaotang had no choice but to go forward, "Master Sasaki, Your Excellency Kawakami, you haven't left yet, otherwise, I'll let you two go."

Sasaki smiled: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Kawakami wants to get to know you, have a chat with you, and ask me to introduce you."

Lin Xiaotang hurriedly put on a flattered look, Sasaki just said a few words, then got into the car and left.

Kawakami Zhonghui sent out all the attendants who were with him, Lin Xiaotang saw this, he had no choice but to ask Guo Zhui and others to go out and wait first.

There is a tree-lined path in front of the villa, the golden leaves are rustling in the autumn wind, and the street lamps are emitting a dim light. Lin Xiaotang can only accompany Kawakami Zhonghui to walk along the path slowly. Behind him are two A car brought by someone followed behind unhurriedly.

"How do you plan to arrange Meiya?" Kawakami Tadaki asked suddenly.

Lin Xiaotang didn't expect Chuan Shangzhonghui to ask this question when he opened his mouth, and his scalp felt a little numb, and he hesitated for a while, "This, this...!"

"I heard that you were married in Thailand?" Kawakami Zhonghui continued to ask.

Lin Xiaotang nodded awkwardly.

Chuan Shangzhonghui snorted coldly through his nose, "Meiya is no different from my biological daughter. Since she has taken a fancy to you, I have nothing to say. But, as a man, he should have at least a sense of responsibility. I I hope you don't disappoint Meiya's heart, otherwise...!"

"Yes, yes", it was the first time Lin Xiaotang faced such a situation, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

"Also, aside from personal matters, I also know a little about what you did in Shanghai. Yazawa-kun is my junior, and he really doesn't like you. I know it's because of Meiya. But, you There are indeed too many small actions, many things are more or less mixed with your traces, after I come to Shanghai, I hope you can take care of yourself and don't give me a chance to deal with you, understand?"

Lin Xiaotang was speechless.

Chuan Shangzhonghui also felt that it was meaningless to continue the conversation, so he waved his hand and summoned his own car, but before getting into the car, he turned his head, "Zhuang Chongxian and you have a very good personal relationship, right?"

Lin Xiaotang could only nod his head.

"No. 76 is a key department, I advise you not to put your mind on it, Zhuang Chongxian has no hope!" After finishing speaking, Kawakami Tadaki got into the car and walked away.

Lin Xiaotang stood for a long time, looking at the back of the car going away, and sneered endlessly.Kawakami Tadaki's trick is nothing new at all.Before he arrived in Shanghai, Lin Xiaotang had already received conclusive news, thanks to the help of Takashimasuke's Kwantung Army intelligence system.

Kawakami Tadaki is an out-and-out control faction. Kenshiro Shibayama and Nakajima Nobuichi did not plan to transfer him to Shanghai, but Kenji Doihara, who was in Tokyo, wanted to ensure that the Shanghai intelligence department could serve as a control faction. Therefore, he insisted on transferring Kawakami Tadaki to Shanghai to take office, also to ensure the continued implementation of the "Golden Lily Project".Controlling No. 76 is also one of the purposes of his trip.

But the Kwantung Army and the Kodo faction were not vegetarians either. Just after Kawakami Tadaki's transfer became a fait accompli, Shibayama Kenshiro and Nakajima Shinichi began to fight back.Shanghai has not yet heard the news. The Huangdao faction took advantage of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Rebellion launched by Li Shiqun to put the rectification and reorganization of No. 76 on the agenda. According to the currently known information, part of the power of No. 76 will be transferred To other departments, in order to prevent the occurrence of an accident similar to a dominance, and to avoid the concentration of power in one department, including the anti-smuggling power currently held by No. 76 and part of the armed forces held by it will be taken back.In other words, No. 76 will become unrecognizable.

But these things, the current Tadaki Kawakami may not be able to know so thoroughly.Lin Xiaotang knew very well that Sasaki Shi was not here and would not take care of these matters, but Kawakami Tadaki was eager to grasp the power of Shanghai's intelligence department, and strived to firmly grasp all the intelligence departments in his hands, including Lin Xiaotang's All unstable factors must be eliminated one by one.Zhuang Chongxian is the biggest unlucky one among them. The reason is that Chuan Shangzhonghui hates his ambition, but the most important thing is that he is too close to Zhou Fohai, Ding Mocun, Lin Xiaotang and others.

This kind of alliance of various forces is what Kawakami Tadaki fears the most.And Zhuang Chongxian couldn't wait to be the first to jump out, so the position of No. 76 could not be his turn.

Lin Xiaotang already had a countermeasure against this, the key is that he didn't want Zhuang Chong to take this position first, the reason is very simple, in Lin Xiaotang's view, Zhuang Chongxian is too thoughtful, old and cunning, although number 76 is currently a depraved Phoenix, he is not as good as Chicken, but it is still the most professional intelligence department after all. Once it falls into his hands, it is inevitable that there will be no distractions. Coupled with the resources of the Military Intelligence Department in his hands, if he turns against him, it will not be worth the loss. So, even though Lin Xiaotang strongly supported Zhuang Chongxian's appointment as the secret service headquarters on the surface, in the final analysis, it was just a show.

The car was speeding in the night wind, but Lin Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief. The battle situation had already begun to undergo subtle changes. It was only a matter of time before the Japanese army went into decline. Once the Japanese defeat was confirmed, Shanghai would inevitably fall into chaos Among them, at that time, it will be meaningless to stay in this place of right and wrong. At that time, the focus will shift to Japan, but how to go to Japan in a legitimate way is indeed a headache .

Suddenly, the driver slowed down the speed of the car and said in a low voice, "Boss, it's No. 76 Yuan Jianfeng's car!"

Lin Xiaotang looked out of the car window, and saw a black car parked not far away on the side of the road, with two people standing beside it, one was holding onto a big tree by the side of the road and seemed to be vomiting, and his figure was Yuan Jianfeng.
