When the vehicle passed the entrance of the Central Army Officers School, Cheng Qianfan raised the curtain of the vehicle and his eyes rested on the Japanese soldiers standing guard at the door with loaded weapons.
The plaster flags on the bayonets of Japanese soldiers and the plaque of the 'Eastern Regional Security Command' look so dazzling.
Now, this place has been occupied by the Japanese army and has a sign of "Eastern Regional Security Command". It is the headquarters of the Japanese army in Nanjing.
After passing the Central Army Officers School, we continued walking for about six or seven miles and arrived near Xinjiekou Square.
Asia Hotel is located near Xinjiekou.
Xinjiekou Square was completed in the 20th year of the Republic of China. It was the first modern square in Nanjing and quickly developed into the commercial and financial center of the capital.
However, Xinjiekou at that time had lost its former prosperity. Although the streets were clean and seemed spotless, Japanese patrol soldiers and traitors wearing black leather police uniforms could be seen everywhere.
The filthiest thing in the world is looking at the crowd fiercely, causing the citizens to avoid this place.
…
As soon as the vehicle stopped at the entrance of the Asia Hotel, a Japanese second lieutenant and two Japanese soldiers came over and came up to inquire with a cold face.
"Who are you?" The Japanese second lieutenant looked at Cheng Qianfan who got out of the car with an unkind expression.
"I am the Assistant Secretary to Minister Chu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing Government." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "This is my business card. I was appointed by Secretary-General Chu to visit Counselor Imamura from Shanghai."
The Japanese second lieutenant took the business card, glanced at it, and then looked at Cheng Qianfan, "Wait."
Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded. He stood at the foot of the steps and looked at the surrounding environment with interest.
Seeing his actions, the Japanese soldier pointed his bayonet at him threateningly. Cheng Qianfan glanced at him and said nothing.
But he was sneering in his heart.
Only this detail shows the status of the puppet regime of Wang Puppet regime among these Japanese soldiers. He came as a trusted assistant to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Wang Puppet regime, but he was not taken seriously by the Japanese army at all. He was just an ordinary Japanese soldier.
You dare to be rude to him.
Soon, the Japanese second lieutenant trotted back. He glanced at Cheng Qianfan and his attitude became a little gentler, "Mr. Cheng, Your Excellency Imamura invites you."
"Thank you." Cheng Qianfan nodded, bowed slightly, followed the Japanese second lieutenant up the steps with his briefcase, and entered the hotel.
He met Sakamoto Yoshino who hurriedly came out to greet him.
…
"Qianfan." Sakamoto Yoshino said happily. He shook hands with Cheng Qianfan happily, "When did you come to Nanjing?"
"Sakamoto-kun." Cheng Qianfan was also very happy, "I just arrived in Nanjing this morning."
As he said that, he spread his hands towards Sakamoto Yoshino, "No, I learned that the teacher and you are also in Nanjing, so I hurried over here."
"Sano-kun, I will take Mr. Cheng in, and you can go and do your work." Sakamoto Yoshino glanced at the Japanese second lieutenant and said.
"Hai." Yuuto Sano bowed slightly, glanced at Cheng Qianfan, nodded slightly, and then left.
"Let's go. Uncle Imamura is handling official business. You go to my room and sit for a while." Sakamoto Yoshino said.
…
No. 21, Yihe Road.
The residence of the secret service headquarters in Nanjing District.
This place is close to the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Nanjing. It was the Japanese suggestion to locate Nanjing District here because once there is any activity, it is very convenient for both parties to cooperate.
The external name of the Nanjing District of the secret service headquarters is "The Special Agent Class of the Nanjing Gendarmerie of the Japanese Locust Army".
However, the area at No. 21 Yihe Road is not large. After the opening of the secret service headquarters in Nanjing District, the house at No. 21 soon became insufficient.
Therefore, Nanjing District built many houses in the backyard.
Later, in order to facilitate vehicle entry and exit and security, the gate was simply opened at No. 8 Lingyin Road where the back door was located, and the gate at No. 21 Yihe Road became the back door.
…
Dong Zhengguo is currently sitting in the reception room of No. 21 Yihe Road. His eyes are dim and he is anxious in his heart.
He was waiting for Su Chende's interview. He was now uneasy about the attitude of the old officer and himself.
Just in the morning, he called No. 21 Yihe Road and asked to see Su Chende, but he was told that District Chief Su did not have time to see him.
After learning about this situation, Dong Zhengguo was restless.
When his wife Feng Man saw him sighing, she accompanied him to think of a solution. Finally, after thinking hard, his wife came up with a strategy of "saving the country through curves".
Feng Man and Commander Su's concubine Han Yishuang had gotten along well before.
So Feng Man went to the Su Mansion alone to visit Aunt Han in advance and asked Han Yishuang to help intercede.
This strategy of my wife is very effective.
Sure enough, at noon, when my wife came back from the Su Mansion with a tired look on her face, she called the hotel at No. 21 Yihe Road, saying that the waiter had returned and that she had time to see him.
…
"It's not very clear in the telegram." Su Chende looked gloomy. He looked at Dong Zhengguo and said, "Tell me, what is going on?"
Dong Zhengguo reported to Su Chende in detail. After Yuan Ziren arrived in Shanghai, he contacted him. He secretly placed Yuan Ziren and the Red Party prisoners on Mailxi Ai Road. When Mailxi Ai Road was attacked by the Red Party, Yuan Ziren and others were killed.
, how the Red Party prisoners were rescued.
"How did the Red Party know that Yuan Ziren had arrived in Shanghai?" Su Chende frowned, "How did they know that he was on Mile West Road?"
Dong Zhengguo looked embarrassed. He was unable to answer both of Su Chende's questions.
"Tell me about it." Su Chende snorted coldly, "It's your responsibility. I will punish you myself. The most important thing now is to correct the mistakes. Do you understand?"
Hearing Su Chende's words, Dong Zhengguo breathed a sigh of relief. Although the old officer also mentioned punishment, he knew that it was actually a preparation board that was raised high and lowered gently.
Dong Zhengguo couldn't help but secretly admire the effectiveness of his wife's strategy of "saving the country through curves".
…
"Chief Yuan's trip to Shanghai was a secret act." Dong Zhengguo said thoughtfully, "As for how the enemy learned that they had arrived in Shanghai, there are two possibilities for the intelligence leakage."
"One was leaked here in Nanjing."
"The other thing is that the news was leaked in Shanghai."
"Keep talking." Su Chende stood up, supported his sore back, nodded slightly and said.
"And how did the enemy know that the Red Party was secretly imprisoned on Mile West Air Road?" Dong Zhengguo said, "Regarding the leakage of intelligence here, it can only happen in Shanghai."
"You have not evaded responsibility, you are quite objective." Su Chende glanced at Dong Zhengguo and said.
As he said this, Su Chende twisted his waist and let out an ouch.
"Sir Su, what's wrong?" Dong Zhengguo asked with concern.
"The doctor said I worked too hard and should pay attention to my maintenance." Su Chende took a deep look at Dong Zhengguo, then waved his hand, "I'm fine, you continue."
