"Qu Yan reported that, according to news from Nanjing, Hou Mingtang died at Xiaguan Railway Station, and Hou Mingyi was arrested. However, Hou Mingyi is a tough nut to crack, and Cheng Qianfan has been unable to get him to talk."
Upon hearing Zhao Chaoyang's words, Wan Haiyang nodded.
"Where is Qu Yan now?" Wan Haiyang glanced at Zhao Chaoyang and asked.
“He’s in Zhenjiang,” Zhao Chaoyang said. “He’s waiting for instructions from the director. If necessary, he will find another opportunity to take action against Cheng Qianfan.”
“We’ve already alerted them; where will we find another chance in the short term?” Wan Haiyang sneered.
"What about Qu Yan..." Zhao Chaoyang said.
"Let him stay in Zhenjiang for now," Wan Haiyang said thoughtfully. "He can return to Shanghai once things have calmed down."
"Yes."
"In addition, arrange for someone to continue monitoring Nanjing to get accurate information about Hou Mingyi's situation," Wan Haiyang said.
"clear."
Zhao Chaoyang thought for a moment and then asked, "Chief, I heard that our Special Agent Headquarters is going to be reorganized into the Political Security Bureau?"
……
"Yes."
"And the Political Security Bureau has a First Bureau and a Second Bureau?" Zhao Chaoyang asked.
"The news has already spread?" Wan Haiyang glanced at Zhao Chaoyang and continued, "The first round is ours."
"Is the director of the Second Bureau really Director Hu?" Zhao Chaoyang asked.
Seeing Wan Haiyang nod, he was also very surprised, "I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that at all."
Jingle Bell.
Just then, the telephone on the desk rang.
Wan Haiyang picked up the phone. "This is Wan Haiyang."
"What?" Wan Haiyang's face darkened.
……
The Political Security Bureau is to establish a new Third Bureau, and Cheng Qianfan will take charge of the Third Bureau.
Wan Haiyang and Hu Yunhe nodded helplessly.
However, both Wan Haiyang and Hu Yunhe strongly opposed the idea of the third game cutting into their territory.
However, this time the situation seems to be a little different.
Firstly, Chu Mingyu's attitude in Nanjing was very tough, which directly influenced Wang Tianhai's attitude.
Furthermore, the Japanese clearly supported the establishment of the new Third Bureau of the Political Security Bureau. Most importantly, the Japanese seemed extremely pleased that the Third Bureau was taking over the territory of the First and Second Bureaus.
Ultimately, under the Japanese's tough stance and Nanjing's high-pressure attitude, the jurisdiction of the three branches of the Political Security Bureau was finally determined.
"Wan Haiyang was the director of the First Bureau, which had jurisdiction over the area of Shanghai excluding the French Concession."
In addition, all areas in Zhejiang Province except Jinhua and Jiangshan, as well as Fengxian, Nanhui, and Baoshan counties in Jiangsu Province.
"Hu Yunhe is the director of the Second Bureau, whose jurisdiction covers Nanjing and areas in Jiangsu Province other than those under the jurisdiction of the First and Third Bureaus, such as Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Yancheng, Nantong, and parts of Anhui Province," Cheng Qianfan continued.
“As for my third district, it has the smallest jurisdiction, only including Suzhou, Wuxi, Kunshan, Jiading, Danyang, Jinhua, Jiangshan, Chuansha, and Qingpu.” Cheng Qianfan handed a cigarette to Lao Huang and said, “In addition, the former French Concession area in Shanghai has also been acquired.”
……
“No.” Old Huang shook his head and said, “Objectively speaking, although the jurisdiction of the Third Bureau is small, its geographical scope is still very good, especially Suzhou, Wuxi and Kunshan.”
Old Huang paused for a moment, looked at Cheng Qianfan with excitement in his eyes, and said, "With Danyang County in hand, it will be easier to make contact with the Maoshan Anti-Japanese Base Area."
“That’s exactly what I was thinking.” Cheng Qianfan nodded. “Actually, Gaochun and Jurong would have been the most suitable, but those two places are too sensitive. After much consideration, I chose Danyang.”
“Danyang is actually quite a sensitive area,” Lu Dazhang said from the side. “The Danyang area was originally one of the core areas of the Maoshan Anti-Japanese Base Area.”
"Danyang was the choice after careful consideration," Cheng Qianfan said, shaking his head. "Any more remote location would be inconvenient."
“I think the most important thing is to get the French Concession, which has a very special significance for Shanghai’s anti-Japanese work,” Lu Dazhang said.
“My original intention was to take over both the French Concession and the former International Settlement, but Wan Haiyang firmly opposed it.” Cheng Qianfan snorted and said, “In fact, Wan Haiyang was extremely angry about giving up the former French Concession; it was the Japanese who forced him to give it up.”
"Did you ask someone to intervene?" Old Huang asked immediately.
“It’s a rare opportunity, of course we can’t miss it.” Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, “Imamura Heitaro and Kawada Atsuto have both contributed. From their perspective, this is an excellent opportunity to expand Miyazaki Kentaro’s sphere of influence, so they can’t miss it either.”
……
"In addition, the establishment of the Political Security Bureau has been officially announced and has been formally established," Cheng Qianfan said to Lao Huang and Lu Dazhang. "The First, Second, and Third Bureaus of the Political Security Bureau have also been officially established."
"The headquarters of the Political Security Bureau is located at No. 8 Lingyin Road, Nanjing. Hu Yunhe, the director of the Second Bureau, will be stationed there."
“No. 76 Jessfield Road is the headquarters of the Shanghai branch of the First Bureau. Wan Haiyang has chosen to be stationed here, and it also serves as the office location for the First Bureau,” Cheng Qianfan told the two.
"Where is your base for the third round?" Old Huang immediately asked Cheng Qianfan.
“I have two things to consider,” Cheng Qianfan said.
"Where?" Lu Dazhang asked immediately.
“It’s a place at No. 15 Taijian Lane in Suzhou,” Cheng Qianfan said. “It used to be a villa of the Kong family, but it was seized by Lin Siji, the chief of the Suzhou Police Bureau, after Suzhou fell to the Japanese.”
“The other place is 16 Telstar Road,” Cheng Qianfan continued. “You two should be quite familiar with this place.”
……
Old Huang and Lu Dazhang nodded. This was the third detention center of the Central Police Station, which covered a considerable area.
"Where do you two think would be a better choice?" Cheng Qianfan asked Lao Huang and Lu Dazhang.
"Is it appropriate for you to ask the two of us to advise on the location of the Third Bureau of the Political Security Bureau of the Wang Jingwei regime?" Lu Dazhang said with a light laugh.
"I think my location is the most suitable, right?" Cheng Qianfan laughed and said.
……
“What I mean is, we can choose both,” Lu Dazhang said after thinking for a moment.
"Tell me about it," Cheng Qianfan said, his eyes lighting up.
"Personally, I prefer No. 16 Taijian Lane in Suzhou as the location for the headquarters of the Third Bureau," Lu Dazhang said.
“I also support this choice,” Old Huang nodded.
“I understand what you mean.” Cheng Qianfan immediately understood. He looked at Lu Dazhang and said, “You mean, then choose No. 15 Delta Road as the location of the Shanghai branch.”
“That’s right,” Lu Dazhang said with a smile. “At that time, you can choose to work in the Eunuch Lane or in the Terrace Road at any time.”
"Great idea!" Cheng Qianfan applauded Lu Dazhang's idea.
“That’s not all,” Old Huang said. “Don’t forget, you also hold the position of head of the Special Police Division of the First Branch of the Shanghai Police Bureau, which means that No. 22 Xuehuali Road is also yours.”
Cheng Qianfan nodded. Old Huang was right.
……
“Strictly speaking, the former French Concession is still the area we control most firmly,” Lu Dazhang said.
Cheng Qianfan agreed, noting that the Special Police were stationed in the French Concession, as was the Shanghai branch of the Third Bureau of the Political Security Bureau. He, Cheng Qianfan, was originally known as "Little Boss Cheng" in the former French Concession.
From any perspective, the French Concession was now the area where his power was greatest and his control was most secure.
……
“It’s absolutely outrageous,” Cheng Qianfan said to Liu Xia.
Yesterday, October 30th, a major event occurred.
The Treaty of Alliance between Japan and China was officially signed.
The treaty has two core provisions:
The Japanese army permanently stationed itself in key areas of Central and Eastern China.
Japan has a monopoly on the development rights of all verifiable and pending mineral resources in Central China, including iron ore and coal mines. Existing mineral industries owned by Chinese people that do not belong to Japan must be transferred to Japan unconditionally within a specified period.
This can be described as a completely treasonous treaty.
The reason why Cheng Qianfan lost his composure and angrily cursed in front of Liu Xia was:
Wang Tianhai's condition showed signs of worsening. Yesterday, he had a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius. Mr. Wang was carried to the meeting place on a stretcher by the Japanese to sign the treaty.
Due to a high fever, Wang Tianhai was not fully conscious. According to Liu Xia, "Mr. Wang's hands were shaking, and he could hardly write his full name. In the end, he only wrote the two characters 'guard,' and the surname Wang was even written by a Japanese person holding Mr. Wang's hand."
……
"The way the Japanese treated Mr. Wang so disrespectfully can be described as an insult in a sense," Cheng Qianfan said indignantly.
"Madame Wang was furious and angrily denounced the Japanese side for lacking the most basic respect for the head of state of a major power and a friendly nation," Liu Xia said.
“What’s the use?” Cheng Qianfan sighed and said, “If Mr. Wang were in good health, the Japanese side wouldn’t dare to push him too hard. What the Japanese side fears most is Mr. Wang. Now that Mr. Wang’s health is bad, the Japanese side has started to change their tune.”
Liu Xia opened the door, looked outside, then closed and locked the door.
“This is a very bad sign,” she said to Cheng Qianfan in a low voice.
"What does Sister Xia mean?" Cheng Qianfan looked at Liu Xia, pondered, and slowly asked.
“Mr. Wang’s condition is not good,” Liu Xia said.
“I know that.” Cheng Qianfan frowned and said, “Mr. Wang’s condition has not improved, but I believe that with the help of renowned doctors from all over the country, it will improve.”
"Fan Di," Liu Xia looked at Cheng Qianfan, her expression somewhat serious, "Are you really not understanding what I mean, or are you pretending not to understand?"
Cheng Qianfan looked at Liu Xia, his gaze growing increasingly serious.
Liu Xia met his gaze head-on without backing down.
……
"Sister Xia, do you know that I am Mr. Wang's most loyal follower? You should be more careful with what you say to me." Cheng Qianfan's tone carried a hint of anger.
"It's as if I'm not one of Mr. Wang's followers," Liu Xia snorted. "Strictly speaking, I'm closer to Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang. Of course, I hope Mr. Wang is healthy and can lead us from victory to victory."
"What exactly is Sister Xia trying to say?" Cheng Qianfan asked, his expression shifting repeatedly.
“The key to the central bank’s vault is no longer in Mr. Wang’s hands,” Liu Xia said suddenly after a long silence.
"What?" Cheng Qianfan exclaimed in shock, "That's impossible!"
The key to the central bank's treasury must be held by the head of state; apart from command of the military, this is the most important ownership right of a head of state.
Wang Tianhai was never truly able to control the armed forces. Under these circumstances, the key to the central bank's treasury, to some extent, represented a special symbolic meaning for the head of state.
"At the request of the Japanese side, the keys to the central bank's vault will be handed over today." Liu Xia said, raising her wrist to check the time on her watch, and added, "If everything goes 'smoothly' for those people, the keys to the central bank's vault are now in Zhou Liang's hands."
……
"Really?" Cheng Qianfan asked Liu Xia with an unprecedentedly serious expression.
"Really!" Liu Xia nodded seriously and solemnly.
Cheng Qianfan didn't speak. He lit a cigarette and smoked it silently.
"Now I understand why you suddenly came to find me, Sister Xia." Cheng Qianfan flicked his cigarette ash, looked at Liu Xia, and said in a slightly hoarse voice.
Liu Xia arrived suddenly without warning, and in secret.
Japanese soldiers carried the feverish Wang Tianhai as he signed the papers.
They demanded that Wang Tianhai hand over the keys to the central bank's vault.
These two events are very clear signals: the Japanese side no longer gives Wang Tianhai the most basic respect and dignity, which means that the Japanese side intends to abandon Wang Tianhai.
At the very least, there are signs of this.
"What does the Secretary-General mean?" Cheng Qianfan took a few deep drags on his cigarette and asked Liu Xia with some annoyance.
“The Secretary-General is very anxious,” Liu Xia said.
Cheng Qianfan looked at Liu Xia.
“The Secretary-General didn’t have many options either,” Liu Xia added.
……
Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but frown.
Chu Mingyu does not have military power.
It can be said that all of Chu Mingyu's power comes from Wang Tianhai.
If the Japanese side abandons Wang Tianhai, Chu Mingyu will have no ability or strength to contend with Zhou Liang and Chen Nanhai.
……
"We need to get moving in the third round," Cheng Qianfan said suddenly after a long silence.
"What?" Liu Xia seemed not to have heard clearly at first.
“I said, we need to take action in the third round,” Cheng Qianfan said, looking at Liu Xia with a sudden murderous glint in his eyes.
"What do you mean?" Liu Xia asked, frowning.
“It means exactly what it says,” Cheng Qianfan said, flicking his cigarette ash.
"Explain yourself more clearly," Liu Xia said impatiently.
“Mr. Wang is unwell, and at this time, the Secretary-General must speak out, or rather, we must speak out the voice that Mr. Wang wants us to speak out,” Cheng Qianfan said, his tone cold but his gaze fervent.
"What are you going to do?" Liu Xia asked seriously, her gaze fixed on Cheng Qianfan's face, especially his eyes.
"Show some muscle." Cheng Qianfan stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray. "Strike first!"
