The heavy rain that hit Shanghai at the turn of spring and summer in the 25th year of the Republic of China lasted for nearly three hours.
Looking around, there is a vast expanse of water between heaven and earth.
Many road sections in Shanghai were flooded with water up to several inches deep, and the slum areas along the Suzhou River were severely affected.
Commonly seen in stilt areas are straw huts or simple houses made of bamboo and wood combined with grass and mud, which are considered better accommodation in stilt areas.
Most of them use bamboo and wood chips to build herringbone or semicircular buildings, which are called "rolling dragons".
The ground dragon is a shack made of several pieces of bamboo bent into a bow shape and inserted into the ground to serve as the frame of the house, and then covered with reed mats.
Such shacks have no windows, and a straw curtain is hung as a door. Most of them are only as high as an adult's chest.
In addition to sleeping, there is no place to sit in the "Ground Dragon". The so-called beds are only made of straw and tattered cotton batting.
After several hours of heavy rain, the "Ground Dragon" in Pingjiang Village was almost destroyed in the violent storm.
The water is nearly half a meter deep in some places.
Countless wailings and calls for help came and went in the dark night.
Yang Ximei's small body was holding half of a wooden board, floating among the bamboo fragments and wooden boards that had turned her home into ruins.
The little girl took a sip of muddy water from time to time, showing a satisfied look. After drinking enough, she would not be hungry.
In the end, it turned out that the two spies who were secretly watching couldn't stand it any longer, so they rescued the little girl in the dark, beat her up, and gave her a steamed bun. The 'little criminal' couldn't die, otherwise how would he be able to fish without bait?
…
Hongkou District was also hit by this sudden heavy rain.
Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai.
Japanese soldiers built sandbags at the door of the house to protect them from the flood.
There is a busy scene everywhere.
At this moment, the office of Eiichi Iwai, the deputy consul general of Japan in Shanghai, was in full swing and full of people.
The intelligence agency of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters in Shanghai, the Special Higher Education Section of the Police Station of the Japanese Foreign Ministry Consulate in Shanghai, the Intelligence Office of the Japanese Navy Attaché Office in Shanghai, the Intelligence Office of the Marine Corps of the Japanese Navy in Shanghai, and the Inoue Mansion.
Representatives of Japan's major secret services and intelligence agencies in Shanghai crowded together.
There is actually no harmony between these intelligence agencies. They have always been dissatisfied with each other, and have even done dirty things to each other secretly. When they meet at this time, they are naturally sarcastic and lively.
For example, the Special Higher Education Section of the Police Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Consulate in Shanghai looked down upon the "rabble" Inoue Mansion, accusing the other party of mismatching the funds it occupied and its actual operational capabilities.
Inoue Mansion is the younger brother of the Intelligence Agency of the Army General Staff Headquarters in Shanghai. Naturally, the Intelligence and Governance Agency of the Army General Staff Headquarters came out to protect Inoue Mansion and accused the Special High School Section of not doing its job well.
Seeing the Army's accusations against each other, the two intelligence agencies of the Navy burst into laughter and cynicism.
at last--
Navy: Army Red Deer.
Army: Navy Red Deer.
Being led to such a meeting by his uncle Kage Saeaki for the first time, Kage Saeichi looked at this scene with a stunned expression.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao gave his nephew a look that was rare and strange.
Ying Zuoying didn't speak at first, he was observing.
Soon, everyone attending the meeting saw this strange young man's powerful talking power.
Whether it was the intelligence agency of the Army General Staff Headquarters in Shanghai or the two intelligence agencies of the Navy, they were all criticized to the last detail by Eiichi Kage: Only our police department's special high school department is the most powerful, and we will not accept refutation.
As for Inoue Mansion?
Ying Zuoying didn't mention it at all.
Outside the room, a group of Japanese soldiers patrolled back and forth, heavily guarded. The soldiers' helmets and bayonets gleamed under the light.
"His Excellency, Deputy Consul General Hide Iwai, is here!" the voice of the messenger sounded at the door.
Wearing a raincoat, Hide Iwai pushed the door open and stretched out his hands. A guard immediately came up to help him take off his raincoat.
The participants showed respect to the organizer of the meeting. The noise at the scene temporarily stopped. Everyone stood up and paid attention to Iwai Hide and his colleagues.
Iwai Eiichi signaled to everyone not to be restrained and everyone sat down.
After a few words of greeting, Iwai Eiichi said, "I believe that you have done a lot of research on the current war situation between Japan and China. Many people are dissatisfied with the current situation and think that the empire is too cautious."
Eiichi Iwai’s remarks aroused heated discussion among the attendees.
After waiting for everyone to discuss, Iwai Eiichi continued, "China is a piece of fat meat. We have already swallowed a mouthful, and there is still something fatter on our lips. This is the fate of the empire for a hundred years, and the Yamato nation conquered China.
The millennium dream is about to be realized in our generation."
Eiichi Iwai's words caused a roar at the scene.
"This is a plan recently drawn up by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Please take a look at it."
Eiichi Iwai waved his right hand, signaling his adjutant to issue the document.
Printed on it is the 'Plan and Outline of the Empire's Expansion of War Situation against China'.
Seeing that everyone had read the document, Eiichi Iwai continued, "The intelligence agency is the eyes of the empire. It instigates rebellion against China's generals, creates friction, checks China's military strength, combat readiness and deployment, etc. You are all the best in the intelligence agency.
, you understand the importance of intelligence better than I do."
Eiichi Iwai looked at the satisfied expressions on everyone's faces, nodded, and continued, "The Imperial Consulate General in Shanghai is planning an action recently, hoping to get full cooperation from all parties."
"Everyone's specific work coordination requirements have been stated in the document. One thing I would like to remind you is that this action plan is under the central command of Colonel Yingzuo Zhenzhao. If you have any questions, you can go to him directly. I hope you will give me your full assistance."
"Yingzuo Zhenzhao, please take care of me." Yingzuo Zhenzhao stood up and said with a proud look on his face.
…
After sending away many representatives of intelligence agencies, Iwai Eiichi's face turned gloomy.
Although these guys patted their chests and said, "No problem" and "Leave the matter to them," Eiichi Iwai did not trust these guys.
At this moment, Iwai Eiichi had an unprecedented urge and idea to establish an intelligence agency directly under his leadership.
Eiichi Iwai graduated from the "Dongbun Academy" founded by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai. This academy is essentially a spy school that specially selects Japanese young people to learn Chinese in a Chinese environment and has cultivated a large number of "China experts" for Japan.
He specializes in making friends with Chinese intellectuals and collects strategic intelligence about China in the name of engaging in cultural activities.
Carrying out cultural invasion under the guise of cultural exchanges, brainwashing Chinese cultural celebrities so that they can use their influence to influence the government's policy toward Japan and consciously serve Japan's war of aggression against China.
Eiichi Iwai, who was born in Toa Dobuni College, felt that he needed to go back to his 'alma mater' to take a look and win over some young talents.
