Special High School Course Headquarters.
Araki Hatsuma is reporting on his work to Mibenjiro.
"Secretary Director, Miyazaki Kwan was discharged from the hospital today. He heard in the afternoon that the 'Scythe Plan' will be officially launched." Araki Hatsuma said.
"The greedy and stupid and arrogant French people will sooner or later pay the price for their behavior today." Sanbenshilang cursed with gritted teeth. Although all this was within the plan, Sanbenshilang still couldn't hide his anger when he learned that the French Concession really agreed to release Zheng Weilong.
"Miyazaki Jun said that he would secretly contact Zheng Weilong to deepen his friendship again," said Araki Hiroma.
"I understand." Mianbiro nodded. Miyazaki's guy who was full of money was thinking about making money. When doing things seriously, he was relatively disciplined and cautious. This was to register in advance to avoid misunderstandings.

No. 36, West Ians Road.
This is the first time He Guan met with his new superior Comrade Luo Haoran.
Luo Haoran gave him the impression that he was serious, with a face with a Chinese character and a bright eye. Just looking at these eyes gives people the feeling that this person will never be able to use energy.
"Minister Luo." He Guan gave a solemn salute, "Qingdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrillas, He Guan was ordered to carry out his mission to Shanghai and report to you."
"Comrade He Guan, I have worked hard all the way." Luo Haoran shook hands with He Guan with a serious expression, "Please sit down and tell me about the situation on your way."
He Guan briefly told the story of what happened on his way to Shanghai.
"On behalf of the Qingdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrillas and myself, I would like to express my gratitude to this unknown comrade." He Guan said seriously, "If this comrade had not made a secret arrangement, it would be extremely difficult for us to bring the wounded comrades of the New Fourth Army to safely arrive in Shanghai."
"Although this is what we should do, I will convey your thanks to this comrade." Luo Haoran nodded slightly.
The itinerary was planned by Comrade "Landing Man" to propose a preliminary plan, and the two discussed it together and finally confirmed the plan.
Luo Haoran praised the entire plan, especially the most important part of it and the arrangement of passing the Japanese army's checkpoint at the dock. He was even more amazed.
However, Fang Jinghua seemed a little worried about passing the Japanese level in this way.
Luo Haoran was very supportive, perhaps because he hated Cheng Qianfan to the core. Luo Haoran paid more attention to this person and knew very well. He explained to Fang Jinghua:
Although I don’t know how Cheng Qianfan did it, according to the information found that Cheng Qianfan’s Jiujiu Trading was closely related to the Japanese army, and the Japanese army along the way basically turned a blind eye to Jiujiu Trading.
This is a great move to enter Shanghai through Jiujiu Trading.
In this way, Fang Jinghua made up his mind to use the plan.
At the same time, this also aroused Luo Haoran's curiosity. Judging from Fang Jinghua's reaction, this plan should not have been formulated by Fang Jinghua, or it was not entirely arranged by Fang Jinghua, especially the most important level of the Japanese army level that crosses the dock.
"Who comrade wanted to use Jiujiu Trading to clear the clearance?" Luo Haoran asked happily, "This comrade has a deep vision and can see through the deep connection between Cheng Qianfan and the Japanese at first glance."
At that time, the comrade "landlord" just smiled and did not answer him.
Luo Haoran didn't mind either. He guessed that it should be a comrade on a hidden front in the hands of the "landlord".
Obviously, this comrade knew Cheng Qianfan very well, saw through the appearance of Mr. Cheng as a traitor, and cleverly thought about using this.
...
"How is the situation of the wounded comrade?" He Guan asked.
After arriving in Shanghai and joining the comrades in the French Concession, Fang Muheng was taken away by the comrades from the underground party.
"Our comrade doctor has already checked Comrade Fang Muheng. Fortunately, you came in time. If you were half a day later, the situation would be very dangerous." Luo Haoran said, "Don't worry."
As he said that, he glanced at He Guan, "It's not bad, very alert."
He Guan scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
From Minister Luo's words, it is obvious that he knows Fang Muheng's identity.
"I am not honest enough and should take the initiative to report to you about Comrade Fang Muheng's situation." He Guan said.
"You are right, you did a good job." Luo Haoran shook his head, "This time I am more familiar with Comrade Fang Muheng. If I don't know him, according to organizational discipline, unless it is really necessary, I will not ask you about the identity of the New Fourth Army comrade, and you don't have to inform me."
"I understand." He Guan nodded.
...
"Have you ever considered going home?" Luo Haoran asked.
He Guan did not answer immediately. He thought for a moment, "Minister Luo, you know the situation in my home. My uncle is from the Central Police Station of the French Concession..."
"Mr. Jin from the Central Police Station has long been famous." Luo Haoran smiled rarely. Seeing that He Guan was about to explain something, he waved his hand, "Comrade He Guan, according to the situation we have, Mr. Jin Kemu hated the Japanese invaders. He was willing to do something for the anti-Japanese cause."
"Have you contacted my uncle in the organization?" He Guan asked in surprise.
"There has not been formally contacted yet." Luo Haoran shook his head, "However, our comrades were arrested by Cheng Qianfan's people before. We left Mr. Jin Kemu's relationship at that time. Before Cheng Qianfan handed over our comrades to the Japanese, he successfully rescued the person."
He looked at He Guan with a solemn expression, "Although we contacted Mr. Jin Kemu through money, based on our analysis, Mr. Jin Kemu should have guessed the identity of the person to be released."
"He only collected money to protect himself; therefore, the organization believed that Mr. Jin Kemu was willing to contribute to the anti-Japanese war and support the anti-Japanese cause." Luo Haoran said.
"If necessary, I want to go home and prepare to have a good talk with my uncle." He Guan thought for a while and said with a serious expression.
"Very good, this is exactly the organization's consideration." Luo Haoran nodded with relief.
"I will definitely persuade my uncle to join the vigorous anti-Japanese cause." He Guan said.
"You must grasp the right position." Luo Haoran thought, "In fact, our consideration is not to require Mr. Jin Kemu to join the anti-Japanese war. First of all, the French will not allow a clear-cut patriot to continue to serve as the chief inspector."
"Secondly, this will bring safety risks to Mr. Jin Kemu and his family."
"What does the organization mean?" He Guan showed a thoughtful look, and he understood a little.
"Mr. Jin Kemu has done a good job before. We hope that Mr. Jin Kemu can secretly provide necessary help to our party and the anti-Japanese cause while protecting himself." Luo Haoran said.
"I understand." He Guan nodded.
Previously, Jin Kemu had secretly sympathized with and helped the anti-Japanese war with his "autonomousness". Now, what the organization needs to do is to contact and establish contact with Jin Kemu, so that the position and identity of the General Chief of the Central Police Station can play a greater role in the anti-Japanese war.
...
"Minister Luo, you just said that Cheng Qianfan arrested our comrades and handed over our comrades to the Japanese?" He Guan thought about it again and again, but still couldn't help it and asked, "Have Cheng Qianfan defected to the Japanese?"
"The Japanese made a request to the French Concession to hand over the arrested patriotic and anti-Japanese elements to them. In response, the various police stations in the French Concession responded differently. Some clearly opposed it, and some secretly resisted it. These are all police station officials with conscience, and some of them-"
Luo Haoran showed indignation, "A part of the police officers in the police room arrested patriotic anti-Japanese elements and chose to betray their compatriots to the Japanese."
"This also includes Cheng Qianfan?" He Guan asked immediately.
Luo Haoran shook his head, "According to our investigation, Cheng Qianfan's subordinates did not transfer anti-Japanese elements to the Japanese. However, they were even more abominable than the Japanese invaders. They would blackmail the families of patriots, demand a sky-high ransom, and threaten to hand over the people to the Japanese without paying them."
Luo Haoran looked angry, "The patriotic citizens and anti-Japanese people who were ruined by Cheng Qianfan and his subordinates, we only know about it."
He Guan sighed in his heart, his expression a little lonely. He really couldn't imagine that Qianfan would have come to this point.
However, when he learned from Luo Haoran that Cheng Qianfan was about making money and did not really start doing things for the Japanese, he felt a little relieved.
If Cheng Qianfan really goes that way, really does things for the Japanese, and really does harming his compatriots, then he will be a traitor who will be punished by everyone.
...
"Minister Luo, I ask my colleague Cheng Qianfan to contact you." He Guan said.
"I don't agree." Luo Haoran flatly rejected, "Cheng Qianfan is a dangerous person. Although he has not publicly become a traitor, this person is too close to the Japanese. Any contact between Cheng Qianfan may bring great danger."
He said to He Guan with a serious expression, "Comrade He Guan, I hope you realize the seriousness of the matter. You must not contact Cheng Qianfan in private. This is an organizational order!"
"Yes." He Guan nodded, "I will not take the initiative to contact Cheng Qianfan without the consent of the organization."
...
Desdron Road.
Cheng Qianfan was wearing headphones and the desk lamp was covered with black cloth.
He is sending a report to the Northwest Headquarters.
The absolute confidant of Wang Baihai, the second-ranked figure in the State Government, had Japanese agents around him, which was a shocking event.
Wang Baihai is the leader of the day master and faction within the government.
This person advocates compromise with Japan and promotes the theory of anti-Japanese and national destruction.
Perhaps because of his sensitive identity, Wang Baihai spoke more about his alliances and gangs.
This group of people included Zhou Fuhai, Gao Zhengwu, Tao Xingsheng, Luo Luquan, Mei Shenping, Zeng Zhengmin and others.
Before the fall of Nanjing, these people often gathered in the basement of Zhou Fuhai’s home at No. 8, Xiliuwan, Nanjing, to spread the defeatist argument that the country would be destroyed when the War of Resistance Against Japan was bound to be destroyed.
