Chapter 317: Top Military Secrets Leaked
With the Battle of Shanghai approaching, the British and French International Settlement became the safest place.
Not only did a large number of Chinese people pour in, but there was also a considerable influx of Japanese people.
Xiang Chu was worried that Shanxia Jixia would bring people from the Shanxia Group to find him at any time.
In the evening, he changed into the clothes of a mountain ranger.
Yu Xiaowan took one look and said hurriedly, "Brother Chu! Wait for me."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Lin Daiyu! It seems that you are quite fond of rushing."
"It's Lin Daiyu!"
Yu Xiaowan said coquettishly and ran into the inner room.
"A woman who can't take a joke!"
Xiang Chu shook his head, picked up the phone and called Ji Xia down the mountain, and said happily:
"Ji Xia! I'm back to Shanghai from Hong Kong. I heard you were looking for me?"
Yamashita Jixia almost jumped up when he heard this and said excitedly:
"Brother Chuxiong! Where are you? I'll visit you right away."
Xiang Chu smiled and said: "I'm at Chuyue Hotel..."
Before he finished speaking, Yamashita Jixia said excitedly:
"Okay! I'll bring Qinzi to see you right away."
After saying this, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Indeed, given the status and position of a Yamada leader, he could only pay a visit to such minions, and there was no way he could personally run into the Japanese-occupied area of Hongkou to meet them.
Xiang Chu shouted towards the inner room, "Xiao Wan! Yamashita Jixia is going to bring a Japanese girl named Qinzi over. You don't have to rush. I'll be waiting for you in the private room downstairs."
But Yu Xiaowan said, "Who said that? He brought a Japanese girl with him, so you have to bring me along. What if she's a Japanese spy? I have to help you be more careful."
"Too!"
Xiang Chu deeply agreed with this. He decided to be cautious when receiving Japanese people. He immediately called Long Ling.
"Sister Long! I'm going to meet with Yamashita Jixia. He's bringing a Japanese woman with him. Let's go to the private room on the first floor."
Long Ling said anxiously, "Okay! It's in Qianjiangyue's box on the first floor. I'll be watching from the first floor and call you when I get there."
"it is good!"
Xiang Chu nodded hurriedly.
Japanese-occupied area of Hongkou, Special High Section.
Awei Fumio receives a Japanese spy, Major General Kusumoto Sanetsu, in his office.
Kusumoto Saneryu was a good friend of Doihara Kan'ei and was active in North China.
This guy is an expert on China and speaks authentic Tianjin dialect.
He was extremely cruel and killed hundreds of Chinese agents in Northeast and North China.
If such a powerful spy arrives in Shanghai, there will definitely be bloodshed.
Awei Wenzhi has always been jealous of talented people, and especially disliked Doihara Kan'ei and his friends.
He asked knowingly, and said indifferently:
"General Kusumoto! What brings you to Shanghai?"
Kusumoto Shiratsu touched his fat chin and said with a sinister smile, "Section Chief Awei! I heard that China's ace agent has arrived in Shanghai, and I want to meet him in person."
Awei Wenzhi shook his head and said, "Since Xiang Chu is too cruel, the General Staff Headquarters strictly prohibits any action against him alone. The purpose of your trip should be to obtain intelligence."
Seeing that he couldn't hide it from him, Kusumoto Saneryu smiled bitterly and said, "This general has a close friend who is a senior official in the Chinese army, so I came here to get information. Of course, if there is a chance, this general will still eliminate Xiang Chu."
Awei Fumichi said with a smile: "Could you please tell me which unit your best friend is in in China?"
Kusumoto Shiratsu glanced at him and whispered, "A certain German-equipped division in China."
"Yoshi!"
Awei Wenzhi nodded happily.
At this time, Zheng Zhili's voice was heard outside.
"Section Chief! The Ministry of Internal Affairs is calling."
Awei Fumichi said affectionately, "Chiyo-kun, please come in!"
"Hello!"
Zheng Zhili accepted the order.
He walked into the room and said respectfully to Kusumoto Minoru,
"Hello, General!"
After he finished speaking, he handed the telegram folder to Awei Wenzhi with both hands.
After reading the telegram, Awei Wenzhi smiled bitterly and said:
"General Kusumoto! The war and negotiations started simultaneously in Shanghai."
Kusumoto Mitsuyu asked with a smile: "Where is the negotiation location arranged?"
Ah Wei Wenzhi smiled mysteriously and said, "The Chu Yue Restaurant opened by the Chinese in the British Concession."
Kusumoto Shiratsu asked in confusion: "Why not arrange it in another hotel?"
Awei Wenzhi smiled and said, "Because the head of the Yamashita family is a frequent visitor to Chuyue Hotel."
At this time, in Chuyue Hotel, Qianjiangyue's box.
Xiang Chu and Yu Xiaowan are receiving Yamashita Yoshika and his girlfriend Nagakawa Kotoko.
Yamashita Yoshika said excitedly, "First Generation! Do you still remember when I was in my second year of high school, I asked my brother for money but he refused to give it to me, and you gave me 5,000 yuan?"
Xiang Chu said angrily: "Of course I remember, I really don't know why you suddenly want so much money?"
Kotoko Nagakawa said gratefully: "First Generation! Yoshika gave the money you gave to Kotoko, and Kotoko used that money to save her mother's life. Thank you!"
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "You're welcome! I should have given you more if I had known. Haha!"
Yu Xiaowan changed the subject and asked with a smile: "Ms. Qinzi! I haven't seen you for a while. Are you here from China?"
Kotoko Nagakawa shook her head and said, "No! Kotoko originally lived in Wuhan. When she heard that the Chinese navy was going to blockade Jiangyin on the Yangtze River, she took her father's warship back to Shanghai along the Yangtze River in advance."
Xiang Chu was shocked that such confidential information about the navy's blockade of Jiangyin was actually spoken by a Japanese woman.
Moreover, all the Japanese expatriates in Wuhan fled to Shanghai, which shows the extent of the leak.
Seeing him in a daze, Yu Xiaowan hurriedly asked, "Miss Qinzi! Is your father in the navy?"
Nagakawa Kotoko nodded and said, "Yes!"
Xiang Chu knew that she had a knot in her heart because her mother was sick and her father didn't take care of her, so he didn't want to say more. He pretended to be very concerned and said:
"Jixia! A big battle is about to break out in Shanghai. Take the brothers from the Yamashita Group and Miss Kotoko back to the country tomorrow. Don't stay here and be cannon fodder."
Yamashita Yoshika hurriedly said, "First Generation! Yoshika had already received a notice from the military to leave Shanghai, just to see you for the last time, but fortunately he didn't leave early, so I met Kotoko in Shanghai."
Kotoko Nagakawa bowed and said gratefully, "The first generation is really a lucky star for me and Yoshika."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "As the Chinese say, lovers will eventually marry."
After saying this, he glanced at Yu Xiaowan.
Yu Xiaowan took out a thick envelope, stuffed it into Nagakawa Qinzi's hand, and said with a smile:
"The 2 yen in it is a small token of my gratitude to you two. I wish you a long and happy life together."
"Thank you! Thank you ma'am!"
Kotoko Nagakawa took the envelope and said with great gratitude.
"Thank you ma'am!"
Yamashita Yoshixia also bowed to express his gratitude.
He took out a cowhide bag and held it in front of Xiang Chu with both hands, saying with a sense of relief:
"First generation! This is the new property of the Yamashita Group in Hongkou. We were worried about leaving it to that greedy guy Akita. It's a good opportunity for you to come back."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! My wife and I will take care of it for you and Qinzi for the time being."
"Daime! You are so nice, even better than my brother."
Yamashita Yoshixia was so moved that he actually started crying.
Indeed, Yamashita Yoshiharu would never give him this property.
Now that he has a girlfriend, his biggest worry is having no money.
Xiang Chu saw off Yamashita Yoshika and Nagakawa Kotoko, and immediately returned to A-di's room with Yu Xiaowan.
Yu Xiaowan opened the leather bag and checked it. Inside were deeds, certificates, receipts, keys, etc. of several shops, villas, and real estate in Hongkou District.
She couldn't help but clap her hands and laugh, "Brother Chu! We've made a fortune."
"Well! You keep it first, I'll contact Nanjing."
Xiang Chu nodded and ran to the radio station to send a message to the telecommunications room of the military police department.
But there was no one in the telecommunications room and no one returned the call for a long time.
Kong Ling left Nanjing, and only Song Xi stayed.
He then transferred the call to Song Xi's office in Nanjing.
After a long time, Song Xi answered the phone breathlessly.
"Xiang Chu! I'm in an emergency meeting. Do you have something urgent?"
Xiang Chu said anxiously: "Sister Xi! Even ordinary Japanese expatriates know about the news that the navy ships blockaded Jiangyin. Even the Japanese expatriates in Wuhan have withdrawn to Shanghai..."
Song Xi said excitedly: "There is a meeting on the 3rd floor right now, and they are investigating anyone who leaked the highest military secrets. Do you know who leaked it?"
Xiang Chu estimated that Dainong did not report to the higher-ups, but he could not betray Dainong.
He thought for a moment, and pretended to be thoughtful and said, "Sister Xi! Huang Jun, the confidential secretary of the Executive Yuan, and his son Huang Sheng in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have been seduced and turned against the government by the Japanese spy Takeshita Yunko..."
"Yes! Huang Juan has participated in the highest-level military secret meeting."
Without waiting for him to finish, Song Xi dropped the phone and ran to the conference room on the third floor.
Xiang Chu later learned that Mr. Sun had already presided over the Supreme National Defense Military Conference.
Arrangements were made to annihilate the Japanese Marines in Shanghai, blockade the Jiangyin Fortress on the Yangtze River, intercept the Japanese warships at the ports upstream of Jiangyin and on the river, so as to ensure the safety of important cities in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Because Huang Jun and his son leaked the information, the combat order had not yet been issued, and the Japanese naval vessels and Japanese expatriates in Wuhan, Nanjing and other places had all evacuated in panic.
In the end, it was all in vain!
