When the lights first came on, it was like daytime inside the Japanese Navy Club. The water in the huge fountain in the middle of the hall began to surge high, and then sprayed clear and translucent water droplets around, like a huge flower.
Like crystal flowers.
And tonight, not only are the lights inside the Navy Club brightly lit, but even the street lights on both sides of the street outside the Navy Club seem to have been specially wiped. They look so bright, as if they are lighting up the entire night sky.
Same.
This time, in order to celebrate the occupation of Wuhan by the Japanese Empire, the Japanese invited a lot of people.
Not only were all levels of Japanese military officers stationed in Shanghai and personnel from various military units or departments in Shanghai invited, but most of the pro-Japanese elements in Shanghai and members of the reform government were also invited.
Even some foreigners and some Chinese people who lived in the French Concession and the Public Concession and had some influence, but had never had any good impression of the Japanese, all sent invitations.
Of course, the Japanese did this, on the one hand, to celebrate the capture of Wuhan, and on the other hand, they naturally wanted to show the strength of their Japanese empire in front of these people.
After all, on the frontline battlefield, the Chinese army was basically losing consecutive battles. Northeast, North China, Central China, and South China were successively occupied by the Japanese. Now even Wuhan has been captured by the Empire of Japan.
Therefore, most of China's territory became nominally under the rule of the Japanese Empire.
Therefore, compared with the Kuomintang government that has become relatively peaceful and the China Red Party organization that only engages in "guerrilla warfare", the Empire of Japan is the most powerful existence in the land of China.
Therefore, this celebration banquet is actually a banquet to declare the majesty of the Japanese Empire.
It is precisely because of this that the Japanese will invite so many people this time, even some people who usually have no good impression of Japan.
Of course, in addition to celebrating and declaring martial law, this celebration banquet also has a screening purpose.
Anyone who comes to the banquet tonight is naturally a friend of the Japanese Empire. But if anyone does not come tonight, then everyone will definitely be an enemy in the future.
For the friends of the Empire of Japan, they will naturally take good care of them, but for the enemies of the Empire of Japan, they will naturally "take care of, take care of" them in the future.
Because there were so many people invited, at this time, although the celebration dinner had not yet started, there was already a lot of traffic in front of the Navy Club.
Luxury cars were lined up in long queues, and the dignitaries were all gorgeously dressed. After they got out of the cars, they immediately nodded to each other, whispered to each other, and walked together into the Navy Club one after another.
Of course, because there are many people invited tonight, the Japanese also pay great attention to security work.
After all, if something happens tonight, the face will be a little painful.
Therefore, the front and back of the Navy Club were filled with armed security personnel. These people stood guard every three steps and sent out every five steps. With the Navy Club as the center, they spread to all directions, putting the entire block on guard.
Moreover, these personnel are all elite personnel selected by the Japanese secret service in Shanghai from their action teams.
As for the special agent team that Li Moqun had just gathered together, they also received the mission, so this time Li Moqun not only personally selected the elite personnel, but he also personally took charge.
After all, this mission can be regarded as a test for him!
At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth progress of this celebration banquet, the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai also mobilized military police troops.
These people have put all nearby blocks under martial law, so no other people are allowed to pass on the spacious street except the motorcade going to the banquet. Even Japanese expatriates are no exception. It can be said that this banquet is
The security work has been done to the extreme.
So at this time, in a hotel on a nearby street, Wang Renqiang was looking at the deserted street outside the window, and then he couldn't help but frown.
When he found out that the Japanese were planning to hold a celebration banquet to celebrate the conquest of Wuhan, he felt a little angry, so he planned to bring people from Shanghai Station to make the Japanese feel unhappy.
Of course, at this time, he was also eager to do something to show his ability to the bureau. After all, this time the Military Command Bureau was established, his old friends had more or less benefited.
But not only did he not get any benefits, but the bureau also sent people to Shanghai to hold his department accountable.
But what annoyed him the most was that one of his subordinates, Li Wei, actually got huge benefits this time.
Not only was he promoted from lieutenant colonel to colonel, becoming equal to him, but Li Wei's command also became the Shanghai Special Operations Brigade. Although the two of them did their own things before, Li Wei was still nominally his subordinate.
Down.
But now, everyone is actually on an equal footing!
Even in a certain sense, this original subordinate was a head taller than him. How could he be happy about this?
But he was still very grateful to Qi Wu!
Although the representative of the bureau had criticized the Shanghai Station, this time he did not add insult to injury, but instead gave himself a lot of advice.
It was precisely because of this that he resolutely telegraphed to the bureau and took over the assassination of Tang Shaochuan.
Although he successfully assassinated Tang Shaochuan under his personal leadership, this operation also slightly restored the impression of himself and his brothers in the minds of the bureau chief.
But this is not enough for me. After all, in Shanghai, the military commanders are not only me and my brothers, but also Li Wei!
Therefore, when he found out that the Japanese were planning to hold a celebration party, he chose to bring people there. After all, those who could come to the celebration party tonight, whether they were Japanese or Chinese, had probably already attended.
People on the Kuomintang assassination list.
Besides, if it can cause some discomfort to the Japanese at a time like this, the impact will naturally be much greater than in normal times.
Isn't this one of the purposes of people like me lurking in Shanghai?
