Chapter 048: How to obtain intelligence from top agents(1/2)
"For Sanbenjun, if you can be promoted to deputy general commander, it will be of great benefit to the work of the Special High School in the Central District and even the entire French Concession." Imamura Hitaro pondered for a moment and said.
"Compared with these benefits, a little downsizing of specific matters is irrelevant." Imamura Hitaro paused for a moment and continued.
After saying that, Hitotaro Imamura glanced at "Kentaro Miyazaki" and gently sipped a sip of tea.
Cheng Qianfan frowned and thought, he was already familiar with this way of communication:
Imamura Hitotaro is "good as a teacher". He never breaks things up and explains them in detail, but is concise and even opens the veil for him. Then there is the class of "Kentaro Miyazaki" to find out the time.
It is not only a small test, but after the test is completed, it also explains the teaching time of the "test paper".
Under such heuristic teaching, the progress of "Kentaro Miyazaki" is visible to the naked eye. With Cheng Qianfan's observation, Hitotaro Imamura obviously enjoys this sense of harvest and accomplishment of being a teacher.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan is very sensible. He makes progress a little bit every time, and occasionally makes progress slightly bigger, making Imamura Hitotaro very satisfied with his teaching progress. At this rhythm, a teacher has a deeper sense of accomplishment, especially when he occasionally makes progress slightly bigger.
...
Imamura Hitaro had no verbal urging.
However, he glanced at the time of the watch.
"Teacher, I understand." Cheng Qianfan's eyes emitted a thrilling light. "What you mean by the fading of specific matters refers to the students' three tours, to be precise, the students' control over the three tours."
"As the commander of the third inspector, the student thinks that he is doing a good job of controlling his subordinates at present, and he can basically do it like an arm and finger." Cheng Qianfan said while thinking, and he picked up the thermos bottle to refill the teacup of Imamura Hitotaro.
"If I am promoted to deputy general commander, my power will be expanded in terms of hand, but the police room should not agree to continue to take the position of third submission chief for a long time. Even if I can designate the third submission chief for a replacement, the Chinese are Chinese after all, and cannot fully believe that they do not know my Japanese identity. In terms of specific control, it is a weakening, especially for the attitude of the empire, there are many uncontrollable factors."
...
"There is another point, you can think about it carefully for yourself." Hitotaro Imamura nodded slightly and said.
Cheng Qianfan thought carefully, and he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Teacher, student is stupid."
"Kinkaki!" said Imamura Hitaro.
"Kin Kemu--" Cheng Qianfan frowned and thought, then his eyes lit up, and he looked at Imamura Hitotaro with respect, "Teacher knows it!"
He said with an expression of admiration and ashamed, "Yes, Jin Kemu is the old commander of the Third Patrol, and now he is the chief inspector of the Police Office. In this way, my influence on the Third Patrol after leaving the Third Patrol is probably not as powerful as I imagined."
As he said that, he bowed to Hitotaro Imamura, "The teacher can always peek inside, but the students are far from enough."
Imamura Hitotaro smiled reservedly and nodded to signal Cheng Qianfan to continue.
"Although the head of the third-tier school is far less sensitive than the teacher, I thought it would be impossible not to see this. However, he still planned to arrange for students to take the position of deputy general manager." Cheng Qianfan frowned and thought.
"The students did not realize the profound meaning of this before. After the teacher gave a note, they could make a little clear idea." Cheng Qianfan said with a pace.
"I think it should be because in the eyes of the third-level director, whether the subordinates have direct control over the third-level governor has an important role in the special high-level director, compared with the higher-level information that the subordinates can access after being promoted to deputy general director, the third-level director has his own opinions and choices."
"Also, keep thinking about it." Imamura Hitaro encouraged.
"And it's also--" Cheng Qianfan frowned and thought, his brows did not stretch, but instead frowned even more, sighing, "I'm here to be the deputy general commander. If Shangguan Wu cannot be the general commander, this is the best and most reliable remedy in terms of loyalty to the empire."
...
Imamura Hitaro gently stroked his palm and showed a satisfied smile, "Kentaro, I am very pleased. It is worth my careful teaching to you. It is great that you can analyze the profound meaning of this in such a short time."
As he said that, Imamura Hitotaro happily patted 'Kentaro Miyazaki' on the shoulder, "You have made great progress over the past year, and I feel very relieved."
"It's all taught by the teacher." Cheng Qianfan said modestly with sincere and grateful eyes.
"You are smart, but you have not received systematic and formal teaching and training." Hitotaro Imamura smiled and said, "I am just opening a window for you, your own eyes looking at the world."
"Miyazaki was confused before, and did not fear hardship before, and went deep into mainland China to explore the path for the empire and put life and death outside the limits. However, his vision was short and he could only see in front of him. Without a teacher, the students' eyes were still shallow." Cheng Qianfan said emotionally, "The teacher not only opened the window of his eyes for the students, but also opened the window of his mind and the window of wisdom."
"Diplomatic, geography, intelligence analysis, politics of various countries, etc." Cheng Qianfan's eyes were filled with tears. "The teacher is a talented man, the top diplomat in the empire. The two hundred and thirty-three days of teaching is something that students dare not even imagine in their dreams."
Hearing that "Kentaro Miyazaki" actually remembered the date so clearly, Hitaro Imamura was moved, but he never calculated how many days he had taught him.
Imamura Hitaro is "liked to be a teacher" and has cultivated young talents for a long time.
He sighed in his heart that he was the teacher of many people, but for "Kentaro Miyazaki", he was the teacher he cared about and respected the most.
"Please forgive the students' vulgar words." Cheng Qianfan bowed respectfully, "The future of Miyazaki Kentaro is something that Miyazaki Kentaro dared not imagine in the past. This is all due to the teacher's teaching."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Kentaro." Imamura Hitotaro sighed a lot and patted 'Kentaro Miyazaki' on the shoulder, "Please keep working hard, the teacher hopes to see the day when you surprised me."
...
"Kentaro, even if you are the new deputy general commander, you must remember that you must do your best to control the three boards." Imamura Hitotaro said in a deep voice, "You must have a capable force in your hands."
The Iwai Mansion is about to officially open. As the head of the newly established secret service agency, Iwai Hideichi, a senior diplomat in China who is a qualified Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has a natural high starting point in diplomacy, politics, economy and culture, but has natural shortcomings in military power.
In this case, if "Miyazaki Kentaro" can master a "reliable" action force in the French Concession Police Station, it will be very important for Iwai Mansion, especially for Imamura Hitaro.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
Jin Kemu's prestige in the central police station is not as powerful as you might think."
"Two years ago, Liang Yuchun and Yuan Kaizhou both competed with Jin Kemu for the deputy general commander. Now Jin Kemu has been promoted to the general commander, and it is impossible for the two of them to be completely unhappy."
...
"There is another point. Although Kim Katsuki is the former commander of the Third Inspector and has a great influence on the Third Inspector," Imamura Hitotaro looked at 'Kentaro Miyazaki', "Kentaro, the current Third Inspector is up to you. What is the real reason? Have you ever thought about it?"
"Money, interests!" Cheng Qianfan replied immediately.
"That's true." Hitotaro Imamura praised, "It is indeed a clever trick to think of building a financial context with black market business and business operations, and bringing the subordinates of the three tours into it."
"Outsiders only think I am greedy for money." Cheng Qianfan said gratefully, "Only the teacher understands me!"
He was convinced and bowed and said, "The students were really worried before, but after the teacher's analysis, the students suddenly realized."
Imamura Hitaro nodded with pride in his heart.
...
Cheng Qianfan changed the topic without any trace and respectfully reported to Imamura Hitotaro's strategy of suggesting to Mibenjiro to arrange an intermediary to operate.
Imamura Hitaro is indeed very interested in this topic.
The two discussed who would be the most suitable person to be the middleman.
Cheng Qianfan "nominated" several famous pro-Japanese figures in succession, but they were all rejected by Imamura Hitaro.
Looking at the puzzled expression of 'Kentaro Miyazaki', Imamura Hitaro did not explain.
The opening-book test of Imamura's small classroom begins again.
Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and put forward his own guess: Teacher, the student understands what you mean-
It is best to arrange an intermediary who does not seem to be close to Japan to outsiders, or even shows signs of hatred to a certain extent.
In this way, the vigilance and suspicion of France can be avoided to the greatest extent.
It can also make the French more trusted.
Imamura Hitaro nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.
"Teacher is a talented man." Cheng Qianfan sincerely admired him, "The French are definitely unable to see through this joint."
However, he then frowned and smiled bitterly, "So, the students have no clue anymore, and the students don't know much about this."
Imamura Hitaro smiled but said nothing.
"It seems that the teacher has a long history of a hill in his heart." Cheng Qianfan said in amazement when he saw this.
"You wait." Hitotaro Imamura smiled and said, "I have a list of celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai that the Empire is seeking to attract."
Cheng Qianfan looked surprised, but his heart was as if a stone had fallen to the ground, and he was very calm.
From the second-level senior high school director, he went to Imamura Hitaro, the first assistant of Imai Hideichi.
He faced two completely different styles of Japanese secret service heads and senior management, responding in different ways.
This operation seems to be natural and there is no danger, but it is actually very difficult and can be called dancing on a wire rope.
Without careful construction step by step in the early stage, any slightest statement and mentioning this list will immediately arouse suspicion.
To achieve the natural and safest, it is best to mention Hitotaro Imamura, or even take the initiative to take the list, which is the perfect state that the agents most desire.
But, it's not easy.
Therefore, at this moment, Cheng Qianfan felt a little satisfied deep in his heart.
The only surprise was that he actually became a disciple of Imamura Hitaro.
This is an unexpected gain.
