Chapter 1818 For the Empire
The sudden visit of Takeshi Okamura means that the Japanese control of the International Settlement has been fully accelerated!
This time, Takeshi Okamura lured and threatened Meng Shaoyuan.
They did not expect Meng Shaoyuan to actually surrender.
But as long as he shows the slightest hesitation, it is an opportunity for the Japanese.
In this sense, the Japanese are at the end of their rope.
In the International Settlement, as long as Meng Shaoyuan is still alive, he is a threat to the Japanese.
However, Meng Shaoyuan gave the Japanese the feeling that they are invulnerable to swords and guns, oil and salt.
It was even difficult for Takeshi Okamura to capture the changes in Meng Shaoyuan.
It is also useless work.
Do you want to capture the inner fluctuations of a master of psychology?
"I've been sad all the time."
After hearing Okamura Takeshi's report, Habara Hikaru sighed: "In this era, why did I meet Meng Shaoyuan?"
There is so much sadness and helplessness in this sentence.
The death of Nagashima Hiroshi was a bit too exciting for Habara Koichi.
Until now, he couldn't accept it.
As the new captain of the special forces, Qiu Jizhe didn't understand the work of secret agents, and he didn't know how to persuade him.
And Tian Qi, who accompanied Habara Koichi into the public concession together, said nonchalantly: "In intelligence work, there will always be winners and losers."
"Really?" Habara Koichi laughed at himself: "I know there will always be winners and losers, but now it seems that we are always losing."
Speaking of this, I feel that in front of so many companions, saying these words seems to shake the morale: "Okay, we were ordered to enter the concession this time for two main purposes. The first is to ensure the military discipline of the gendarmerie. Let what happened before happen again."
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency Habara." Takeshi Okamura said confidently, "I have strictly restrained my subordinates. For the benefit of the empire, I will do my best."
"Very well, I trust you, Okamura-kun." Habara Hikaru said expressionlessly: "Entering the concession is a completely different concept from controlling the concession. I don't think I need to elaborate on the importance of the concession to Shanghai.
The second purpose of my coming is to study how to firmly control the concession in our hands.Ladies and gentlemen, the current situation is very different from the past.
In the past, the advantage lay with the enemy, but now, the advantage lies with me! "
From this point of view, Habara Koichi's mind is relatively calm and clear.
In the past, Meng Shaoyuan was good at dancing with long sleeves, and he was able to do a job with ease.
But things are different now.
Now, the British and American authorities are too busy to take care of themselves, and are taking the initiative to gradually give up their control over the International Settlement.
Once he loses the support of the concession authorities, Meng Shaoyuan will face enormous difficulties.
After all, the concession is just an "isolated island".
Around this isolated island, there are all Japanese troops like wolves and tigers!
"Strictly fortify the wharf, the station, etc., and Meng Shaoyuan must not be allowed to leave Shanghai." Habara Koichi said immediately: "We must lay a net in the concession. Meng Shaoyuan has not left now. After that, there will be no chance to leave!"
"Yes!"
Tian Qi sat there and lit a cigarette.
The situation is serious!
It is very difficult for Meng Shaoyuan to leave Shanghai at this time.
"Secondly, how to quickly stabilize the concession." Habara Koichi continued: "As we all know, the vast majority of Chinese people in the concession are unfriendly to us. And we, for a long time to come, will Live with them.
Shanghai is the financial center of the Far East. Any place can be chaotic, but Shanghai cannot be chaotic.Instead of chaos, we must maintain consistent stability and prosperity!
According to the plan formulated by Your Excellency Yingzuo, while continuing to maintain the relationship with the Chinese people who are friendly to the empire, we must win over most of the remaining Chinese people and let them change their views on the empire. "
"Your Excellency Habara, that's what you said, but if you want to actually implement it, I'm afraid there will be great difficulties." Takeshi Okamura said with some worries: "In the past, we also tried, but the effect was not particularly satisfactory.
However, those Chinese who actively cooperated with the empire were kidnapped, intimidated, and assassinated by the Military Control Bureau, which made them very afraid. "
"These are all difficult factors, but we are here to solve them." Habara Koichi didn't seem to care too much: "The most important thing now is to let the Chinese people in the concession recognize the fact that the concession must The sky has changed, and the isolated island can no longer protect them, but we are the ones who can protect them!
We should treat them as kindly as possible, reduce violence as much as possible, and avoid arousing large-scale resistance.Those who have worked with us but are still on the sidelines, get them at all costs.These people are the core of our future rule of the concession. "
Tian Qi didn't speak, and had been listening very carefully.
Everything is changing.
The Japanese are also changing.
They become more cunning and insidious.
Just one thing they never changed:
Control China with China!
What he is most worried about now is Meng Shaoyuan.
Meng Shaoyuan arranged a retreat plan for many people, including himself.
But he didn't help him arrange a retreat plan for himself.
Tian Qi knew that Meng Shaoyuan definitely had no retreat plan.
Even if the whole of Shanghai falls, he still needs to guard here.
Unless there is an order from a superior.
But the order, will Dai Li give him an order to retreat?
"Tian Sang." Hahara Koichi suddenly looked at Tian Qi: "You need to assist us. Your main duty is to closely monitor the activities of the military command in Shanghai, prevent their destruction, and take on the responsibility of protecting those Chinese people who are friendly to the empire. responsibility."
"Ok."
Tian Qi replied lightly.
"Everyone, this time, His Excellency Kagezuo personally directed an operation." Habara Koichi particularly emphasized this point: "Shanghai's stability plays a vital role in the entire empire's strategy in China. Especially you , Mr. Okamura.
As the commander of the Concession Gendarmerie, your responsibilities are even greater.Mr. Nagashima has already served the empire, I understand the sadness in your heart at this moment, but please put away these sorrows, everything, for the empire! "
"Everything, for the empire!"
Okamura Takeshi said in a deep voice.
In fact, compared to Meng Shaoyuan, the person he hated even more was Li Shiqun!
If it wasn't for Li Shiqun, his younger brother wouldn't have died.
However, he also knows the importance of Chinese people like Li Shiqun and Tian Qi to Japan.
But at this time, Tian Qi suddenly discovered something.
What about Li Shiqun?
Why didn't Li Shiqun come to this meeting?
He wanted to ask, but didn't ask.
"Okay, everyone, let's start to act." Habara Koichi stood up: "Tian Sang, you are with me, everything is for the ultimate benefit of the empire!"
