Chapter 1261 Meeting between the two parties

In the Japanese-style private room of the Chinachem Hotel, Ryosuke Hase and Mr. Special Envoy were exchanging glasses of wine. Several white women were kneeling beside them, pouring wine and dishes for the two of them.

"Mr. Hase, Tokyo is very dissatisfied with this guy Osako. His Excellency the Prince originally wanted you to take over the position of director of the Special Committee on China, but he failed to get the consent of the majority of people. It is such a pity."

The special envoy drank a glass of sake and said in Japanese with a little regret. As for the truth and falsehood, just listen to what happened in the officialdom. Whoever believes it is a fool.

Hase Ryosuke raised his glass again and said sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Special Envoy, for informing me. Hase is deeply grateful. Please also tell your Excellency the Prince after you return to your homeland that Keiko and I will visit you during the New Year."

After saying that, he waved his hand for the white women to go down, and clapped his hands gently. A small agent from the Changgu Agency came in from outside holding a wooden box.

"Mr. Hase, is this...?" The envoy looked at the heavy wooden box and swallowed.

I have long heard that this flower of intelligence from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is generous and wealthy. He controls most of the smuggling channels in Shanghai. Both the army and the navy must give him some face.

It would not be too stingy for a person like this to give a gift in private. Mr. Special Envoy quickly took a sip of wine to hide his excitement.

Hase Ryosuke chuckled and said nothing. After the little agent went out, he opened the wooden box. The room was suddenly filled with golden light, and there were dozens of small yellow croakers in the box.

"Hiss~~~cough cough cough"

The special envoy took a deep breath first, then choked on his drink. He coughed several times, but his hands moved towards the gold bars without obeying his orders.

Halfway through touching it, he suddenly stopped and looked at Hase Ryosuke with some vigilance. There was a saying in the Republic of China that people must ask for something if they are polite. If the other party paid such a high price, he must have something to ask for his help.

He had to first ask clearly what the matter was and whether it was difficult to handle. It wasn't that he wouldn't handle it if it was difficult, but that was a different price.

Hase Ryosuke smiled and pushed the box towards the special envoy, and said calmly: "Don't get me wrong, Your Excellency, this is just a meeting gift and has no other meaning. Please feel free to accept it."

The special envoy gasped again. These gold bars were enough to buy a luxurious house in Tokyo. The other party gave them away so easily. This was more than a generous act. It was like Ebisu (the Japanese God of Wealth) was still alive.

"Mr. Hase, if you have anything to do in the future, you can contact me." The envoy did not hesitate to pull the wooden box to his side and raised his head to make a promise.

"Hahaha, okay, cheers."

Hase Ryosuke smiled particularly happily. He saw many people like this. Once there would be a second time, the principles would slowly disappear and the bottom line would slowly recede.

The two people, each enjoying his own place, continued to chat while drinking. The conversation gradually involved sensitive information, but the envoy seemed to have completely forgotten about confidentiality and said everything he could.

As he spoke, the special envoy mentioned the Japanese-Jewish secret talks: "The high-level empire attaches great importance to the strength of the Jewish people. If we can get the support of Jewish businessmen in the United States, Mite Island will develop tremendously. This is also one of the tasks of my trip. ”

"Oh? Are you the person in charge of the secret conversation?" Hase Ryosuke's eyes lit up and he poured the other party a glass of wine.

The red-faced envoy burped and shook his head: "This negotiation is led by the army, and the cabinet and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs army are only assisting. I need to evaluate the negotiation process and determine whether the secret talks are beneficial to the empire."

"Soudisnai~"

Hase Ryosuke understood. It seemed that the higher-ups had different opinions on this matter, otherwise the party would not have come. But where was the secret meeting address?

He thought for a while and did not ask this question, as it would be too obvious, so he talked about the romance again, and at the same time handed the special envoy a key to the villa to serve as a temporary residence during his stay in Shanghai.

People are in high spirits during happy events, and there are more and more empty wine bottles. The special envoy is obviously a little drunk, and he does not shy away from other situations in secret conversations.

As long as the address of the secret meeting, the background of the participants, and the time of the negotiation were known, the other party did not hide it, and they all were used as talking points to Changgu.

When the street lights on the Huangpu River came on, the staggering envoy was helped out of the Chinachem Hotel. Hase Ryosuke opened the car door for him, and the two parties agreed to meet again tomorrow and parted ways.

After the car drove away, Chang Gu turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, a familiar face appeared in his sight, which scared him so much that he almost screamed.

Glancing at the men beside him, he calmly sent everyone else away. He walked to the car alone, got in and started driving towards his residence.

After driving for a while, Chang Gu looked in the rearview mirror, turned the steering wheel and drove the car slowly on the side of the road. After a few seconds, someone got into the back seat and leaned down, and the car accelerated again. "Fat Tiger, why didn't you inform me in advance when you came to Shanghai? Don't you know that your friend has told Jinling Special High School about your simulated portrait? If you do this, you will kill us." Ryosuke Hase drove the car , the reaction was very intense.

Zuo Zhong, who was in the back seat, looked up at the back of the car and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if you can catch people by relying on simulated portraits, then there will be no living spies."

The simulated portrait cannot be said to be useless, but it is of very little use. Unless it is compared face to face, and there is no inside information, the Japanese will not expect that he, the deputy director of the military command, will come to Shanghai in person.

Hase Ryosuke was speechless, and after a while he asked: "Is there a mission? Fat Tiger, just inform me by telegram, why bother to get involved in danger yourself?"

Zuo Zhong did not answer, but looked solemn: "There is indeed a mission. Have you heard about the secret talks between Japan and Japan?"

When the question came out, his hand gently touched his waist. If Chang Gu said he didn't know, then he would have to consider whether the other party had betrayed him.

As the head of the Japanese intelligence agency in Shanghai, his spies were spread all over the world. Even if the Japanese high-level officials did not notify him, the Japanese-Jewish negotiations could not be hidden from Hase.

Fortunately, Ryosuke Hase immediately answered after hearing this: "Of course, I just heard the special envoy from Tokyo tell me about this. The negotiation will be held at Hartung Garden, and the time will be nine o'clock in the morning seven days later."

This information was basically consistent with Miyagi Toyoji's confession. Zuo Zhongxuan felt relieved and moved his hands from his waist. He then continued to ask for information about the secret conversation and gave a high price.

After hearing that there was money to be made and realizing that his estate in South America could be expanded, Chang Gu suddenly became energetic and introduced the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that within the Japanese government, the main promoters of the pufferfish plan were Judah experts, the army's Inuzuka Nozo and Yasuo Nobuhiro. The two proposed detailed plans, including how to establish a Jewish settlement and how to obtain the Jewish settlement. support.

The plan included sending a delegation to the United States to introduce the similarities between Judaism and Shintoism to Jewish rabbis, attracting the goodwill of American journalism and Hollywood, and thus allowing Jewish people to settle in the Mite Islands.

But this incident was stopped by the World Jewish Congress. The head of the Jewish Congress denounced the members who spoke favorably of the Japanese. He believed that it was a depraved act for the Jews to support the Japanese, because Japan, like Germany and Italy, is a real evil. ┴Evil country.

However, as the situation in Europe became tense, more and more Jewish people were persecuted by the German government. The Japanese consul in Kaunas, Lithuania, issued transit visas to the fleeing Jewish people, allowing them to stay in Japan for a period of time before heading to the final destination. destination.

Thousands of Jewish people obtained visas, crossed Red Russia via the Siberian Railway, boarded ships from Vladivostok to Tsuruga, and finally settled in Kobe.

In 1941, at the beginning of this year, the Japanese government began to worry that Jewish refugees living in military and commercial ports would cause intelligence leaks, so it required the Jews in Kobe to move to Shanghai under Japanese occupation. Only the Jews who had settled in Kobe before the refugees arrived could stay. Down.

Seeing the opportunity, the Jewish Restoration Organization took the initiative to contact Tokyo, and the two sides began substantive talks. The Jewish representative, Harbin doctor Kaufman, led the team to Shanghai half a month ago, and the Japanese representatives Inuzuka Yoshige and Yasue Nobuyoshi also arrived in Shanghai on the same day. .

Currently, the Japanese side is temporarily living in the Japanese Army's General Club, and the Judah side is living in the private residence of a Judah businessman. The Japanese army stationed in Shanghai has sent a large number of troops to these two places to protect them. Hase reminded Zuo Zhong that if he wants to sabotage the talks, It's best to start with other avenues.

Of course, Zuo Zhong knew that taking action directly would be the last resort. He silently memorized the relevant information in his mind, jumped out of the slowly decelerating car and disappeared into the dark alley without saying anything to contact him at any time.

More than ten minutes later, a car passed the checkpoint and drove into the French Concession. The driver, Gui Youguang, turned back to ask if the connection went smoothly.

"Boss Suta, have you met our business partner?"

Although there were only two people in the car, Kegui Youguang still cautiously used code names and false identities to communicate.

The government officials came to Shanghai this time, and their external identities were Siamese businessmen. Japan and Siam have a good relationship, so they will not be subject to too much questioning when they come to Shanghai with this identity.

"Drive your car well." Zuo Zhong replied while looking out the window, thinking about his next action.

Whether it was Kaufman, Inuzuka Yuishige or Yasue Senhiro, this was the first time for military commanders to contact them. They had to find a way to obtain information on these people. I am afraid that this matter will still fall on Hase.

Hase said that the special envoy from Tokyo is also a smart person who understands the ways of the world. As long as he is smart, the difficulty of obtaining information will be greatly reduced.

The car drove along the flat road for a while and stopped at the door of a hotel with a French sign. The two got out of the car and walked to the door of one of the rooms. They heard Zheng Tingbing's voice before they entered.

"Lao Xu, Dongxin, please feel free to do so. This store is Zheng's own business, and the staff are all mine. Safety is absolutely guaranteed."

Zuo Zhong's face darkened. Old Zheng is really lost. Even if the hotel is yours, you can't call Xu Enzeng and Shen Dongxin that way. Who knows if there are any Japanese people among the staff.
