The Spy

Chapter 420 What do you want?

The four of them are old people who followed the district mayor during the Tianjin period and are in the first echelon.

The second was the group of people who followed Xu Qingyun during the Nanjing period.

Typical representatives here are Dai Jieying, Jiang Cheng and others. They are all elites from Hangzhou training schools. Now they have become section chiefs and their progress can be said to be rapid.

The third is the Wuhan period. Xu Qingyun stayed in Wuhan for more than a year and managed the Wuhan Station in an orderly manner, making it the best and most enviable one among all the branch stations.

Similarly, a group of people who followed Xu Qingyun came out of Wuhan Station, the typical representative of which was Zhao San, followed by Fu Wenzhen.

Jiang Zheng is actually one of them, but he is not that conspicuous.

The fourth is the period of Shanghai Station and Shanghai District. There were no particularly outstanding people here, but they were treated very well following the district chief. The district chief attached great importance to their safety and never took their lives to fight for his own future.

This alone is rare.

Other branch stations, including the current Wuhan station, seem to have good stationmasters, but who can guarantee that when there are huge benefits for the stationmaster, he will not abandon his subordinates who are not his confidants?

Xu Qingyun had never done such a thing before, including when he was fighting against the Japanese. Even if he had the opportunity to take risks and gain greater credit, he would not do so.

On the contrary, Xu Qingyun has been protecting them all the time.

"Chief, I don't want to go."

After listening to Fu Wenzhen's explanation of the mission, Jiang Zheng immediately shook his head. He really didn't want to go. Xiaohuangshan was a good place, and they were a good team. Boss Dai had promoted them, and everyone in the Shanghai area knew about them.

But he was very happy working in Shanghai and had no intention of going to Xiaohuangshan to fight for power and profit.

This is not something he likes to do. Jiang Zheng is a relatively pure person.

"This is an order, you must go."

Fu Wenzhen's face darkened. He knew that Jiang Zheng didn't want to go, and he understood.

When the district chief asked him, he thought he was going to be sent to Xiaohuangshan. His mood at that time was the same as Jiang Zheng's now.

But Fu Wenzhen thought more about it. Jiang Zheng going to Xiaohuangshan might not be a bad thing for him.

At Xiaohuangshan, Jiang Zhengneng underwent a complete transformation.

He will see the light and embrace a new life in the future.

"Yes, section chief."

Jiang Zheng had no choice but to accept the order. He knew that it was the district chief's order and the section chief had only come to inform him. He had no way to refute it.

Fortunately, he also came from Wuhan Station and knew Wuhan quite well.

He knew Xiaohuangshan before. It was a good bandit den. Unlike other bandits who were completely unscrupulous, Xiaohuangshan was a place where thieves had their own code of conduct and had a good reputation.

Now he is even more powerful and has defeated the Japanese several times. Jiang Zheng admires him from the bottom of his heart.

He couldn't object, he had to go, he could only accept it.

"Get ready. I'll take you out tomorrow."

Fu Wenzhen's tone softened a lot. Jiang Zheng was his trusted and beloved general, and someone he wanted to develop. He was reluctant to let Jiang go now.

Fortunately, the mission in Xiaohuangshan is not difficult, but he will have to work alone in the future, cooperate with his comrades in Xiaohuangshan, and conceal himself in front of He Rongtang. The work is not easy.

Fortunately, although he is an operative, he is also a professionally trained agent.

Over the years, he has worked with the district chief on many cases and can be considered a seasoned veteran.

As long as he is vigilant enough and careful at all times, Fu Wenzhen has confidence in him.

Xu Qingyun soon received the news that Fu Wenzhen had already made arrangements for Jiang Zheng to take a boat to Wuhan.

After arriving in Wuhan, he will contact He Rongtang.

He Rongtang had been the deputy stationmaster of Wuhan Station. The two had met and knew each other. All they had to do when meeting was to be safe. There was no need for secret codes or tokens.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Zheng can also be considered an old subordinate of He Rongtang.

"Jiang Zheng?"

He Rongtang soon received a call back from the Shanghai district, in which Xu Qingyun agreed to lend him the person and personally arranged a suitable person for him.

I have some impression of Jiang Zheng, but not much.

At first, Jiang Zheng was just an inconspicuous member of the Wuhan Station action team. Later, he was promoted to team leader after his growth. After the Shanghai Station was expanded to a district, he was promoted to deputy team leader. Later, he was promoted to team leader after his meritorious service.

His former team leader, who is now responsible for the safety of undercover personnel, is not suitable to stay in the operations department and was transferred out alone by Xu Qingyun.

The safety of lurkers is equally important.

They are now under the command of Yan Ming. Although they have been transferred from the Operations Department, their rank has not been reduced. Xu Qingyun will never treat the elderly unfairly, and will never treat meritorious officials unfairly.

"Major?"

After reading Jiang Zheng's resume, He Rongtang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he did not have a deep impression of Jiang Zheng at first, he had been able to follow Xu Qingyun for so long and was promoted to team leader, so his abilities were naturally beyond doubt.

The rank of major is a bit low, but Xiaohuangshan is the most suitable place for him, so it's just the right time to promote him.

Not to mention the Shanghai district, even for the Wuhan station, He Rongtang would not let his lieutenant colonel team leader go to Xiaohuangshan to serve as chief of staff.

The reason was the same as Xu Qingyun's, they were exiled.

Major is the best fit.

After hanging up the telegram, He Rongtang continued to deal with the affairs of Wuhan Station. He had already prepared the manpower and would send Jiang Zheng to Xiaohuangshan when he arrived.

As for the equipment, Boss Dai will send someone to deliver it to him.

With these equipment, Xiao Huangshan hopes to kill more Japanese devils in Wuhan, so that his pressure can be reduced.

When Jiang Zheng was about to set off, someone from the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters came.

"Hello, I'm looking for Captain Yoshioka."

Watanabe was not wearing a military uniform, but he still saluted politely and handed over his ID.

After reading his ID, the sentry immediately saluted him: "Please wait a moment, I will report for you right away."

Watanabe is a lieutenant colonel and the sentry is just a soldier, there is a big difference in rank.

Japan has a strict hierarchy. No matter what the reason is for Watanabe to see the captain, they must report first. If the captain agrees to see him, they will take him over.

Disagree and refuse politely.

"Watanabe, Shiro's man?"

Captain Taro Yoshioka was very surprised when he received the call. He already knew that his cousin had suffered a great defeat in Wuhan and had committed disembowelment to show his loyalty to the emperor.

He was indeed very sad. Shiro had a very good relationship with him since childhood. Although the Yoshioka family was not big, it was also an old family that had followed the daimyo to conquer the world in the early years.

It's a pity that there is no title.

If they had a title, the two brothers would be able to develop better.

"Let him come."

After thinking for a while, Taro Yoshioka instructed that he was not in Wuhan and he didn't know much about Shiro's situation, all of which were official reports.

Yoshioka's wife did send him a telegram, but it didn't contain any substantive content. It just said that they were going to take Yoshioka's ashes back to Japan and would come up to take the boat when the time came.

They haven't arrived yet, so how come a captain under Yoshioka has arrived?

"Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe, please."

This is the Shanghai Gendarmerie. The sentry did not call Watanabe "captain" by his official title, but by his military rank.

"Thank you." Watanabe nodded slightly and quickly came to Taro Yoshioka's office.

"Are you the captain under Shiro?"

Taro Yoshioka asked directly, and Watanabe immediately nodded, took out the photos he had developed and placed them in front of Taro Yoshioka.

"Colonel Yoshioka, our wing commander is very brave. Here are the photos I took. Please take a look first."

Watanabe did not address the other captain by his title, but by his military rank.

Taro Yoshioka is a captain like him, but the captain of the military police is of a much higher rank than him, and his power is incomparable.

The military police are responsible for supervising and inspecting the military. For a battalion commander like Taro Yoshioka, he can investigate not only the regiment commander but also the brigade commander.

Moreover, Watanabe was very smart. He did not say directly that Yoshioka was killed by Oda. If he said it directly, in case Yoshioka did not want to ask about this matter, there would be no room for maneuver.

He was not familiar with Taro Yoshioka, so he tried to test the other party's attitude first.

Taro Yoshioka picked up the photo in front of him and sadness quickly appeared on his face.

Although they are cousins, there are only two brothers in their father's generation. They live together and are a real family.

He is the eldest and Shiro is the youngest.

The second and third children did not join the army and stayed at home to take care of their parents. This is a common situation in many Japanese families. If they join the army, not everyone will join.

But this is only for now, it may not be the case in the future.

Both he and Shiro were promoted to colonel, one in the Military Police Headquarters and the other in the Security Headquarters.

The family is proud of them.

The two also agreed that Taro Yoshioka would be promoted to general first. After all, Taro Yoshioka's position was more important than Shiro's, and Shiro would also be promoted to general in the future.

In this way, two generals can be born in their family.

By then, the status of the entire family will be greatly improved.

Taro Yoshioka did not expect that Shiro would suffer such a great defeat in Wuhan, and he did not expect that he would commit caesarean section.

The reason why Yoshioka Shiro was initially bewitched into committing seppuku was because he had been defeated so miserably and was disheartened. He wanted to find relief through death while protecting the others around him.

Oda's attitude finally made him realize that his death would only benefit this incompetent guy in vain, so he finally chose to give up on cesarean section and would rather go to a military court.

Although he would not escape punishment if he went to the military court, he would definitely not die.

He might even just be dismissed. After all, there was nothing wrong with his arrangements. The defeat was not entirely his fault. Oda was more responsible.

If we had the help of the aviation regiment, the battle would never have turned out like this.

Another point is that he knew that his cousin would definitely help him smooth things over and protect him.

Unfortunately, he didn't expect Oda to be so cruel. He attacked him directly and ended up in regret.

"Why did you send me these?"

Taro Yoshioka didn't finish looking at the photos. This was his younger brother, and seeing the photos would only make him sad. After taking a quick look at a few photos, he looked up and asked.

His eyes had turned red by this time.

Noticing his look, Watanabe felt a lot more relaxed. As long as Taro Yoshioka knew that his brother was murdered by someone, he would not let it go.

"Please take a closer look, especially at the incision."

Watanabe lowered his head and spoke in a low voice. Taro Yoshioka was very surprised, but he still picked up the photo and looked at it carefully.

After a while, his face suddenly changed. Even Watanabe could see the problem, so there was no reason for him not to see it. He was a military policeman and had supervised the caesarean section of people who had committed crimes more than once.

The Japanese army is very strange. As long as they are willing to commit disembowelment, no one will stop them, and no one can stop them.

However, sometimes the military police would supervise their execution.

The knife wound wasn't right, the brother's posture wasn't right, the blood wasn't right, and the clothes weren't right.

It was true that his clothes were open, but in fact, after the cesarean section, the clothes would be pulled up because of the pain. It goes without saying that his brother's knife had already been inserted into his abdomen, so there was no reason for the kaishakunin to help.

"Is there another hidden story behind my brother's death?"

Taro Yoshioka suddenly stood up and looked at Watanabe fiercely.

"Colonel, I don't know, but the commander of the wing has been very kind to me. After I discovered something unusual, I took these photos and wanted to show them to you."

Watanabe lowered his head, and Taro Yoshioka sat down, picked up the photo again and looked through it carefully.

Wrong, still wrong.

My brother did not commit cesarean section himself. He was killed and then the scene was made to look like cesarean section.

"who is it?"

Yoshioka Taro asked directly. Watanabe hesitated for a moment, then said, "When the regiment commander committed seppuku, the commander did not allow anyone to watch. There was only the commander and the kaishakunin he found at the scene."

"Did Oda find the kaishakunin?"

Taro Yoshioka immediately asked, generally speaking, the kaishakunin is performed by the person who is committing seppuku and entrusts the performance to his most trusted companion.

This will ensure that they do not suffer.

Yoshioka was bewitched and agreed to let Oda help him find an kaishakunin.

"Yes."

Watanabe nodded again, and Yoshioka Taro's expression had turned ferocious.

He is not stupid. A stupid person cannot be the captain of the gendarmerie headquarters.

The Shanghai Gendarmerie Headquarters had only more than a thousand people, which was a little more than the size of a battalion, and most of the troops were under his control.

Apart from the commander, he is a big shot.

"Xiaotian, he is so brave, he kills people directly."

Taro Yoshioka suddenly slammed the table and shouted fiercely. He already understood that his brother was unwilling to commit disembowelment and wanted to give up. Oda did not want to let him live and wanted to kill him directly.

If his younger brother had taken the initiative to do it, there would be no need for Oda to do this.

Watanabe stood aside and said nothing more. His goal had been achieved.

"Why are you telling me this?"

After a while, Yoshioka Taro, who had calmed down, suddenly asked. Watanabe had already thought of an explanation and said slowly: "The commander of the wing has been very kind to me. He cannot die in vain. I know that the commander of the wing is not optimistic about this battle and wants the aviation regiment to help. This will make it easier to target the bandits in Xiaohuang Mountain."

"But Oda had a grudge against the aviation regiment and was unwilling to bow down to them, forcing our wing commander to send troops, which ultimately led to a great defeat."

"Now the captain may be killed. I cannot remain indifferent. You are the only one who can seek justice for our captain."

Taro Yoshioka has already made clear his attitude, he wants to avenge his brother, so Watanabe doesn't need to hide it.

"You did very well."

Yoshioka Taro nodded slightly and asked again: "What do you want?"

Taro Yoshioka has been in the military for many years, especially as a military policeman for many years. He knows very well that there is very little help in this world without reason.

Although Watanabe is his younger brother's subordinate, he is taking a big risk by doing this, and he must have something in mind.

"I don't want to follow Xiaotian anymore. Sooner or later, he will kill me. My qualifications are not enough for me to be promoted to the rank of wing commander. I would like to ask you to transfer me to the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters. You can assign me any position you want. I will follow you in the future just like I follow our wing commander."

Watanabe did not hide anything and directly stated his purpose.
