In the second year after the victory of the Northern Expedition, Qingdao, located at the southern tip of the Shandong Peninsula and with a history of more than 400 years, was designated by the Nanjing National Government as one of the few municipalities directly under the Central Government of the Executive Yuan in the country due to its important strategic location and economic status.
In modern times, Qingdao was first occupied by the Germans and then enslaved by the Japanese for several years. It returned to the hands of the Beiyang government ten years ago. Under the painstaking management of the German colonial government for many years, Qingdao's city size has doubled, with a width of more than seven meters and paved roads.
The various tall and majestic European-style buildings on Taiping Road, the asphalt Coastal Avenue, as well as the exotic street lamp shapes, exude a strong colonial flavor everywhere.
Compared with the Germans living in Qingdao who like to go see St. Michael's Church, which has built its first floor with yellow granite stones during the major construction projects, and go to the castle-like Christian church in the immigrant area to pray and worship, the locals in Qingdao prefer
Visit the Thean Hou Temple in the east section of Taiping Road, which occupies a geomantic treasure and is popular all year round.
Tianhou Palace is an ancient Ming and Qing style building. It was built in the early years of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years. It is dedicated to China's Holy Mother - Mazu, the Dragon King of Zhenhai and everyone's favorite
The God of Wealth, Qingdao people have a saying that "first there was Tianhou Palace, then there were Qingdao people", which refers to this long historical origin.
Although the mountain gate of Tianhou Palace has been closed on this cold and bleak winter night, Qingdao's wealthy businessmen, celebrities, literati and poets still flock to the Guantao Pavilion diagonally opposite Tianhou Palace and sit leisurely in the Chinese-style restaurant.
On the second floor platform of the style tea house, bathing in the wafts of water from Thean Hou Temple
The scent of secret sandalwood is refreshing and refreshing. You can look at the famous navigation light on the small island in the vast Qingdao Bay in the south, listen to the sound of waves lapping on the sea, and hold a warm and fragrant cup of tea.
Have hot tea and spend a warm and comfortable time with your close friends.
In the night, a dark green Ford sedan with an ordinary license plate drove from west to east to the parking lot in front of the tea house. A smart man sitting in the passenger seat quickly got out and respectfully opened the rear door.
Wearing a black suit and a dark woolen coat
, the tall, thin and elegant middle-aged man got out of the car door calmly, thanked politely the middle-aged man who had already got out of the car door from the other side and came to greet him attentively, and then met with the neatly dressed middle-aged man with a smile on his face.
The young people walked side by side towards the teahouse door.
The teahouse owner Xu Boqian, who had returned from studying abroad at Kyoto University in Japan, waited respectfully at the door. They bowed politely to each other and exchanged greetings for a long time. Xu Boqian bowed and made a gesture of invitation, then led the guests into the door and boarded the second floor.
Go upstairs and enter the elegant private room that has been prepared.
A tall, thin, energetic middle-aged man, he is one of the Japanese spy chiefs stationed in North China, Yoshino Yasuo, who has been stained with the blood of Chinese soldiers and civilians for several years but has been deeply hidden. Yoshino Yasuo, who rarely appears in public on weekdays, this time
When I came to Qingdao, firstly, I inspected the work of the local secret service, and secondly, I consulted and commended Yan Rubin for the various data on a British-made destroyer newly equipped by the Third Fleet, the specific situation of the officers and soldiers on the ship, and other important information.
.
Yan Rubin is the fat-headed wealthy businessman who accompanied Yoshino Yasuo. He is 27 years old and comes from Weifang, Shandong. His eyes are sunken due to excessive drinking and his skin is sagging. He looks like a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties.
Yan Rubin was born into a landlord family. He traveled to Japan in his early years and just started studying in the gunnery department of Japan's Zhenwu Military Academy, where he studied for half a year.
, I really couldn’t stand the barbaric education method of Japanese instructors who used fists and kicks and grinned like wild beasts. After dropping out, I transferred to Kyoto University to study business. I was very lucky to meet Mitsui Eemon, a younger generation member of the Mitsui family at the same school, and became friends.
They were fair-weather friends and indulged in sensuality. After graduation, Yan Rubin returned to Qingdao
, under the care of Mitsui Trading Co., Ltd., he began to operate Japanese goods in Qingdao. In less than five years, he became a newly wealthy businessman with a net worth of millions. He also became a Qingdao businessman because he colluded with the Japanese and used all means to annex the assets of Qingdao's business peers.
The traitor comprador who was extremely despised but helpless. However, Yan Rubin won the favor of the Japanese because of this.
In the second half of last year, he was secretly developed as a Japanese espionage agent. As a businessman, he collected information from all walks of life in Qingdao, especially intelligence on the Third Fleet of the National Government Navy stationed in Qingdao. He was recognized several times for accurately and timely reporting the Chinese Navy's information.
Personnel changes and attitude towards Japan gained the trust and reuse of Japanese intelligence agencies.
At this time, the Eight Immortals table in the center of the private room was filled with a dazzling array of snacks. Yoshino Yasuo, as cautious as ever, walked to the platform flying in the air, looked around, then returned to the table and sat down, waving his hand.
The two personal guards left and politely thanked Xu Boqian who poured himself tea:
"Xu Jun, your teahouse is very good! When Mitsui-kun passed by Tianjin last month, he specifically mentioned Xu Jun to me and praised Xu Jun's pharmaceutical company for purchasing a batch of products that were extremely in short supply in the market for our Empire of Japan.
The special medicines have saved many precious lives. Mitsui-kun also said that when he was studying at Kyoto University
, Xu Jun is the youngest among his many classmates, but he is constantly striving for self-improvement and is diligent and ranks among the best in all subjects. He admires him very much and tells me that if I have the opportunity to come to Qingdao, I must meet Xu Jun in person, haha! Xu Jun is indeed
It’s exactly the same as what Mitsui-kun introduced, he is polite and shows his talent!”
Xu Boqian smiled and shook his head: "Where, where! Senior Brother Mitsui was so complimentary. The experience of studying at Kyoto University back then is still vivid in my mind. Senior Brother Mitsui and Senior Brother Yan are rare talents. How can I compare with them? That's right.
Yoshino-kun, Senior Brother Mitsui and Senior Brother Yan highly respect him
, I am really lucky to meet Yoshino-kun today... After returning from Japan, I have relied on my father to fight for half my life. I have taken over the burden of the family and worked hard to maintain several drug stores and this teahouse. After five years, there is still no progress. I feel ashamed.
Ah! Please take care of me from now on, Yoshino-kun."
When Yan Rubin heard Xu Boqian praising himself, he happily interjected: "Please rest assured, Yoshino-kun, I have always had confidence in my old classmate. He is smart, capable, and has a generous personality. Just like his old father, he is worthy of close friendship! But his
Too stubborn in personality and unwilling to explore more business opportunities
In the field of business, he enjoys himself guarding a few drug stores and this teahouse. Xu Jun rarely comes to the teahouse. He says it is too noisy here and he doesn’t like it. If he hadn’t booked a private room in the afternoon to entertain distinguished guests from afar, maybe
Xu Jun is still at home reciting poems, painting, drinking tea and discussing Taoism with his old father, haha!"
Yoshino Yasuo was extremely dissatisfied with Yan Rubin's unauthorized exposure of his whereabouts, but he still kept a gentleman's smile on his face, nodded, and asked Xu Boqian appreciatively:
"Xu Jun, please sit down and talk in detail. I heard Mitsui-kun mention inadvertently that Xu Jun only established contact with a pharmaceutical company in Shanghai this summer and obtained a small batch of domestically sold penicillin specific drugs from Jiangnan Pharmaceutical Factory. I don't know Xu Jun."
How did you get in touch with that famous pharmaceutical company in Shanghai?"
Xu Boqian smiled humbly, sat down and replied sincerely: "The deputy general manager of Shanghai Keats Pharmaceutical Company is also an old friend of Xu Jun and Mitsui Jun. His name is Lu Qijian, and he graduated from Yingqing University majoring in engineering.
, the Lu Jun family has a close relationship with the Feng family in Shanghai.
, so after returning to China after graduating from Japan, I joined Feng's Enterprise, and now I am the deputy general manager of Feng's Keats Pharmaceutical Company. It is precisely because of Lu Jun's special care that I can get ten boxes of penicillin specific medicine every month.
It’s not easy, this affection is extraordinary!”
"Oh, brother, why have you never mentioned brother Zijing (Lv Qijian) to me? Are you afraid that Brother Yu will squeeze you out? Are you not enough of a friend?" Yan Rubin laughed jealously.
Laughing, the loose fat on his face trembled.
"Where, where, Brother Yan was joking. Brother Lu also mentioned Brother Yan many times, saying that Brother Yan was the most capable entrepreneur among our group of students studying in Japan. He also said that if he had the opportunity to come to Qingdao in the future, he would definitely do it.
Brother Yan, the local boss, has a meal." Xu Boqian quickly smiled politely.
Yan Rubin was very satisfied and nodded proudly. Yoshino looked amused and smiled. Under the warm greetings of Yan Rubin and Xu Boqian, he picked up his chopsticks and tasted the unique Qingdao local delicacies with great interest. He was very happy.
The words "Yoshi" popped out of my mouth frequently.
At a table by the window in the hall downstairs, two well-dressed young men and two charming women with beautiful flowers were enjoying tea together, chatting and laughing in low voices. Most of the seven or eight plates of exquisite food on the table had been used up, and under the sound of the women's cooing
After begging, the two of them ordered another plate of braised mackerel and a plate of soup dumplings.
The young man in a suit and leather shoes with a camel scarf hanging around his neck saw the two women whispering, and turned to the young man with a square eyebrow and a square face next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yuling, it's already half past ten.
It seems that this place is really difficult to attack, but as long as the old dog Yoshino comes up
After the car left, we turned a corner and reached Taiping Road. It took a few minutes to reach the Japanese Embassy. There were constant police patrols along the way, and there were also many Japanese minions, making it even harder to attack. What should we do? I'm afraid Brother Haichuan will
They are all waiting outside in a hurry, you might as well come up with an idea!"
The 25-year-old special service captain Xia Yuling raised her wrist and looked at her watch. Although she was anxious, she could not come up with any solution. Based on more than two hours of repeated observation and detection, Yoshino Yasuo's security measures were quite strict. It seemed that Yoshino only had two weapons with him.
A bodyguard followed Yan Rubin. In fact, before Yoshino arrived, a car had already parked outside the door. The four bodyguards in the car looked like they were all Japanese masters.
, the unique temperament of a Japanese samurai cannot be hidden by any clothes. In addition to these five troublesome guards, there are also two bodyguards of Yan Rubin sitting in the hall, as well as two tables wearing police uniforms and navy uniforms.
The soldiers were drinking and chatting. If one of them was accidentally misunderstood as a robber by these policemen and soldiers who also belonged to the National Government, the difficulties faced by this action team would be even greater.
Another thing is that Yoshino, who has always been very cunning, was accidentally informed of his whereabouts and identity by Xu Boqian, the head of Qingdao Station of the Headquarters Intelligence Station. After urgently reporting to the Northern Headquarters, in less than half an hour, the boss of the Headquarters passed through the Northern Headquarters.
The headquarters issued three urgent orders in a row. This has happened since the establishment of the intelligence station.
This unique special order made Xu Boqian and Xia Yuling deeply feel the heavy burden on their bodies. If Yoshino Yasuo escaped this time, it would not only insult the honor of all the brothers at Qingdao Station, but more seriously, they would think about it next time.
I don't know if I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Xia Yuling, whose ancestral home is Cangzhou, has a calm face, but is confused and confused in his heart. This child of a martial arts family who joined the Hu Jialin Guards during the southern retreat of the Independent Division in the late Northern Expedition, experienced the subsequent Western Expedition to the Guangxi Clan and the Central Plains War.
From a guard to the deputy commander of the special forces, and then to the special agent camp
The lieutenant and deputy of the assault company quickly grew up in the baptism of blood and fire and became a brave and resourceful special elite with a bright future. A year and a half ago, after seeking advice from his uncle Hu Jialin, he resolutely entered the special class of the non-commissioned officer school.
After further study, he finally took off his military uniform and returned to the northern land where he grew up.
After adjustment, he officially served as the major special service captain of Qingdao Station at the beginning of the year. In just half a year, he organized a highly disciplined and powerful special service team, successfully completed a number of secret missions, and won two awards from the Northern Headquarters.
The one time he won the Nanjing Headquarters' merit was a weapon in An Yi's hands.
An important secret armed force. Today, Xia Yuling suddenly received an arduous task from the Northern Headquarters and Nanjing Headquarters. Xia Yuling was full of enthusiasm. While excited, he also knew the difficulty of the task. If it was an assassination, he could come up with more than a dozen plans in the blink of an eye.
But catching them alive has become ten times more difficult.
The young man wearing a scarf saw his captain staring blankly out the window at the lights on the ferry terminal in the distance. He felt anxious and couldn't help but ask again.
Xia Yuling seemed to have made a lot of determination. She withdrew her gaze and whispered: "Qingfeng, listen carefully. Yoshino is expected to leave soon. You should take a girl and leave first. Inform Senior Brother Wan to separate two brothers to the dock.
Go, no matter what, we have to get a small motor boat. We have only one way to go by water. In addition, you and Senior Brother Wan will lead two groups to turn on the road above the dock.
Be prepared at the bend. At the critical moment, we will not hesitate to use weapons and grenades. No matter what the cost, we must succeed! As long as we can capture Yasuo Yoshino, leave Qingdao Bay and go straight to Huangdao, the rest of the brothers will stay at home except for the third group.
In addition, half of them will follow me and the other half will retreat to Shijiazhuang. After this operation is exposed, we can no longer stay in Qingdao."
Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then asked worriedly: "If this is the case, I'm afraid Brother Xu will have something to do with it!"
"Just go and I will have a way to tell Brother Xu how to deal with it later. Now that things have happened, I can only give it a try!"
"What should I do with these two kiln sisters?"
"Take yours with you and give me some money to spend. I have my own way of dealing with mine, so go ahead!"
