Cicada Moving

Chapter 124 This is a tragedy

The lights were brightly lit inside the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai. Iwai, the head of the Intelligence Department, looked at the white sky outside the window and didn't know what he was thinking. The director of the Special High School Course, Ryosuke Tani, and the monitor of the special work class, Nobuo Kato, stood behind him.

“The Navy is about to take action.” Iwai said without any beginning or end.

 Ryosuke Hase and Nobuo Kato have confused and confused looks on their faces. I don’t know whether they are true or false. They are both veterans of intelligence, and they still have some acting skills.

Iwai turned around and glanced at his two subordinates: "The navy is going to assassinate Mr. Zhu Jiahua. The action will take place this morning. Shanghai will not be quiet for long."

Iwai didn’t believe they didn’t notice it. After all, the fifty-man team was too high-profile. People in the Navy didn’t even know what intelligence work was. Those poor disguises couldn’t fool anyone.

Especially Nobuo Kato, whose special work squad is affiliated with the Army Staff Headquarters. I am afraid that he already knows the goals and specific arrangements of the other party's operation before the navy personnel set out.

Looking into Iwai's eyes, Kato Nobuo felt a little guilty: "Sir Iwai, do you need us to send someone to support you? After all, Shanghai belongs to us."

But before he finished speaking, Hase Ryosuke immediately objected: "No, this is a matter of the navy. It is inconvenient for us in the special higher education class and the special work class to get involved, and it can easily lead to a struggle at the top."

Hase Ryosuke secretly scolded Nobuo Kato for being troublesome and must not support him. If he ruined the Chinese plan, he would be in trouble. The reward of 100,000 yuan has not yet been heated up, and he did not want to refund it.

Iwai looked at his old classmate appreciatively and said, "Mr. Hase is right. You and I are both chess pieces on the front line. We don't need to consider matters between people. We can just wait for the news."

He can't afford to offend anyone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Army General Staff Headquarters, or the Naval Command. Since the Navy people have clearly refused to cooperate, let them go. Maybe there will be unexpected gains.

Hase Ryosuke took the opportunity to take a step closer: "Why is the navy carrying out this operation? Will the cooperation between China and Germany affect them? But Chinese warships cannot even sail offshore."

Thinking about the numbers in his bank account, Ryosuke Hase felt that he could add a little more. Although the Chinese did not issue a specific task, they must be very interested in the news.

Iwai thought about it and felt that this was not a big secret, so he explained: "This is related to the battle between the navy and the army. The Germans' coastal defense artillery technology is the best in the world, and the navy has to defend it."

Iwai said vaguely, and Hase Ryosuke did not ask any more questions. Agents can be curious, but not too exuberant. When obtaining information, they must know how to do what is right and just right.

While the three special agents at the Shanghai Consulate were discussing, Oki, the captain of the Japanese Marine Special Marine Corps, was inspecting the weapons. He was holding an MP18 submachine gun produced in Germany.

This is active equipment directly transferred from the Shanghai Marine Corps. It is very well maintained, but Damu still disassembled all the parts and inspected them carefully, and finally assembled the submachine gun skillfully.

It is this meticulous attitude that has earned him a reputation that is so impressive that the bosses of the Military Command chose him as the executor of the mission.

After doing all this, Damu looked up and looked at his men, and happened to see a soldier putting gun parts on the ground. This made him furious. He walked over quickly and slapped him: "Baga, you must take care of your weapons as much as you take care of your eyes."

The beaten soldier quickly stood up and bowed, but Damu slapped him more than ten times in a row without mercy. The other soldiers were so frightened that they fell into silence. Damu was a cruel guy, and his strategy for leading troops was just one word: hit, there is no reason. .

Not to mention that these marines are all from Ryukyu. In Omu's eyes, they are animals that can be killed at will. If their language skills were not needed, these people would not be qualified to fight alongside him.

After Damu slapped twenty mouths, he looked at the soldiers fiercely: "You trash, you must be clean and tidy when you act later, otherwise your family in Ryukyu will receive the most severe punishment."

 “Hai.”

The soldiers were not afraid but excited. As long as they could complete their tasks, not only could they become real Japanese, but the Military Command also promised to give them equal treatment, such as promotion and admission to military schools.

Dashu knew their thoughts well and was full of disdain in his heart. These Ryukyu people were really stupid. What awaited them after completing the mission was not promotion but death. This operation was related to the father of the German Wehrmacht and was not a small matter.

Only when these people are dead can the big shots in the military headquarters be completely relieved. He touched the hydride in his pocket and decided to send these Ryukyu people to see their King of Hell at the celebration banquet.

"Mr. Omu, the car is here." The boss of Yongshan Trading Company walked in and announced.

Damu glanced at his watch and found that it was already seven o'clock. He waved his hand. The soldiers hid their weapons in their coats and walked out of the room carrying several large wooden boxes. They were full of dangerous goods and must be placed in special ammunition boxes. .

Since they are imitating the masked men's gang, they must learn how the other party uses dangerous goods, such as their installation of load-bearing beams. Otherwise, fifty soldiers will not be enough to blockade the hotel.

The driver of the Administrative Committee of the Residency Militia has already left, and the employees of the trading company have long been warned not to come to the yard. The large wooden team is quickly making preparations, and several large wooden boxes are placed in several cars.

In the tall building in the distance, Gu Qi said to Song Minghao next to him: "Call the section chief immediately to inform the section chief that Little Japan is leaving."

He still doesn’t know Zuo Zhong’s plan, nor does he know what the thief did last night. If a group of heavily armed Japanese soldiers were to arrive at the Chinachem Hotel, the Intelligence Department would be facing a fierce battle.

But Song Minghao failed to contact Zuo Zhong because he was accompanying Zhu Jiahua and Sekter to have breakfast. The restaurant of Chinachem Hotel was famous in Shanghai, and Sekter had a huge appetite after tasting it.

“Zhu, the white bread here is very authentic. I didn’t expect to feel the taste of my hometown in the Far East.”

"Haha, it's fine if General Sekter likes it. This is Zuo's arrangement." Sekter glanced at Zuo Zhong with a deep look. This young man was very attentive and even found out about his hometown. Even if he didn't do anything, An intelligence officer must also be a competent staff officer.

Zuo Zhong noticed his look and made a joke: "Your Excellency, the general has a hard journey. Eating some food from home will help improve your appetite, and the food on the British cruise ship must be terrible."

To make a German like you, you only need to do two things, scold the French or the British. Sekter laughed out loud after hearing this. The "delicious food" of the British is really hard to describe.

 Zhu Jiahua laughed with tears in his eyes: "I have been to England several times when I was studying in Europe. After observation, I feel that the secret of the gentlemen of the British Empire lies in these British dishes."

 “Oh?” Zuo Zhong cooperated: “Sir, what do you mean by this?”

“Because English food is so inedible, gentlemen must keep their faces serious and their bodies straight to be able to eat it.”

"Ha ha ha ha."

The three of them laughed heartily. It must be said that John Bull's popularity was very poor. To describe it in one sentence, the friendship between China and Germany depends on Great Britain. The atmosphere at the dinner table became harmonious, and Sekter also chatted with Zuo Zhong.

Zuo Zhong did not elaborate on his career, but Sekter knew that this young man was a powerful character, because Zuo Zhong was already a captain before he was twenty years old, which explains everything.

When Zuo Zhong mentioned that his idol was Count Luckner, Sekter proudly said that he was a good friend of him and had already known each other when Luckner went to Australia to be a boxer.

As the three of them were talking, Wu Chunyang came over and whispered a few words into Zuo Zhong's ear. After listening, Zuo Zhong nodded and asked him to leave first.

Sekter was a little curious, but Zuo Zhong’s profession was very sensitive. As a German, it was difficult for him to ask questions. The table that had just become lively became quiet again. Zhu Jiahua motioned to Zuo Zhong to see if something had happened.

Zuo Zhong looked at his watch and said with a smile: "Sir, General Sekter, I have prepared a special gift for you. I hope you like it."

After saying that, he looked at the commercial area of ​​the concession in the distance. Zhu Jiahua and Sekter didn't know what was going on. They glanced at each other and followed Zuo Zhong's gaze. It seemed that there was nothing worth seeing.

Just when Zhu Jiahua was about to ask, there was a violent flash of light in the distance, and a few seconds later several loud bangs resounded through the sky. The upper class people in the restaurant were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they fled one after another.

Seckt's guard Wagner rushed into the restaurant a few seconds later. He was just outside the door. Even though the explosion was far away, he was still ready for battle and the weapon in his hand was loaded.

Zhu Jiahua and Sekter were both people who had seen big scenes, and they stood up in shock. Is this the gift Zuo Zhong said?

 Why did Zuo Zhong do this? Wasn't he afraid of causing conflicts between the great powers and the Republic of China?

Sekter pushed Wagner away with a serious look on his face: "Zuo, what do you mean?"

Wagner's heart tightened. Could it be that the explosion was caused by the Chinese intelligence agency? Are they demonstrating against the general? It would be terrible if that was the case.

Zhu Jiahua trembled and said: "Shenzhu, what are you going to do? You have caused a big disaster."

How could this humble and polite student in front of him dare to make such a big fuss in the concession? Once Britain and the United States find out about it, he will definitely be used as a scapegoat.

When Zuo Zhong heard what they said, he looked surprised: "Sir and General, have you misunderstood? The news I learned is this. The Japanese Navy Command sent a small team of soldiers to assassinate you two, but It’s a pity that the opponent’s way of storing dangerous goods was so amateurish that the ammunition accidentally exploded. This is really a tragedy.”

Zhu Jiahua and Sekter opened their mouths, listening to Zuo Zhong's serious nonsense, and said it was not you who did it. How many people did the Japanese send to know that there would be such a coincidence?

Wagner understood. The Japanese wanted to assassinate them, but the leftist made the first move and blasted them into the sky. The noise just now was so loud. How many dangerous materials did this crazy guy use?

 Gu Qi and Song Minghao, who were near Yongshan Trading Company, swallowed their saliva as they looked at the mess in the distance. Yongshan Trading Company was gone, leaving only a pile of smoking bricks and wooden frames.

As soon as the Japanese got into the car and were about to set off, the car exploded. The huge shock wave destroyed everything around it. Fortunately, there were no residents near Yongshan Trading Company, otherwise the casualties would have been even more horrific.

 “Retreat, retreat quickly, leave a few people behind to show off!”

Gucci is anxious. The concession authorities will definitely conduct a search nearby. They are carrying weapons and will definitely become the biggest suspect.

 The writer’s words have extras

In Laohuqiao Prison, a red-faced Gao Jiayi sat at the door of the prison area, his nose twitching, checking the newly jailed prisoners.

“This one has a lot of ocean hidden in it. It’s made in Fujian, and it doesn’t taste very good.”

“Search, next.”

“This one has a blade in its mouth and smells of blood.”

“Death, next one.”
