Chapter 394 It’s always good to have more dogs
Harbin.
Inside a luxury car.
The man in the back row had the collar of his khaki woolen military coat standing up high. He was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. His facial features hidden in his collar were distinct, but his face was a little pale, which made his handsomeness look more feminine and gentle.
Passing by an arched door on Serbia Street.
"Stop the car in front." He shouted in fluent Japanese, politely and gracefully.
The convoy stopped.
The Japanese military police captain who was leading the way on a motorcycle stopped and asked: "Sir, is there any problem?"
"I haven't been home for a long time. I'm just taking a walk. You go back first and say hello to the village captain for me." The young man smiled very gentlemanly.
"Hi."
The gendarmerie captain saluted and accepted the order, then left.
"Made!
"Harbin in 1938 was an era when humans and animals danced together."
Hong Zhiyou put his hands behind his back and looked around at the snowy land, letting the snowflakes fall on his cheeks, his thoughts turning back.
a few days ago.
Shanghai, New Asia Hotel.
call!
Hong Zhiyou suddenly woke up. The severe pain in his chest and the instinct of suffocation made him breathe heavily.
Gulu.
The water rushed into my nose, and my brain felt sore and tingling.
He propped up his body, struggled a few times, grabbed the edge of the bathtub, and finally rolled to the ground, staring at the chandelier on the ceiling and panting.
“Where is this?
After a long time, Hong Zhiyou wiped the water off his cheek and slowly stood up.
Inside the hotel.
Slightly dated decor.
wrong!
Hong Zhiyou was so shocked that he pushed open the glass window and looked out.
On the streets, Beetle cars, rickshaws... everything has a familiar smell.
This is not 2003.
Not Jinhai either.
When I was lying on my deathbed, I traveled through time again in a strange way.
This is Shanghai in 1938.
My own identity...
Gao Junjie is the nephew of Gao Bin, the chief of the Fengtian Special Agent Section of the Puppet Manchukuo.
Previously, he was sent by his uncle to study at the Japanese Army Academy, where he was highly regarded by the principal, Ichiro Sakanishi, who regarded him as his "closed disciple."
Not long ago, Gao Junjie graduated from university and, at the request of Ichiro Sakanishi, he made a special detour to Shanghai to visit his old subordinate Kenji Doihara on behalf of his teacher.
Unexpectedly, while taking a bath in the hotel, he was stabbed and drowned in the bathtub.
dong dong!
The sound of the bells of Hagia Sophia in the distance brought Hong Zhi back to his senses.
He quickly walked into a bungalow.
Dust was blowing in my face.
He fanned himself with his hands, quickly took out a box from under the bed, pulled out a thick cotton-padded jacket and cotton shoes, put them on, put on a round hat, covered his mouth and nose with a scarf, and went out.
The original body's identity is very complicated.
On the surface, he was the nephew of the spy chief Gao Bin, and a talent valued by Sakanishi Ichiro and Doihara. In fact, he had secretly joined the Military Control Commission a few years ago.
This time he returned to Harbin on the orders of the Military Control Commission Headquarters to help the new station chief to re-establish the Military Control Commission Station in the Northeast.
Soon, Hong Zhiyou arrived at Horvath Street, went up to the second floor, and knocked on the doorbell rhythmically.
The door opened.
The man inside was tall and strong, with a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and thick black hair that fell backwards, looking quite majestic.
It turned out to be...father-in-law Old Wu!
1938... I remembered that Wu Jingzhong had helped Zheng Jieming make a lot of money at the Sino-Soviet Intelligence Cooperation Institute. Boss Dai was resentful and transferred him to the position of head of the Northeast District and chief of the puppet Manchuria Station.
Hong Zhiyou suppressed the call of "Dad" and said calmly:
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Wang? Mr. Tang from Nanshi Street in Jiamusi asked me to bring you a letter."
"Where's the letter?" Wu Jingzhong asked vigilantly.
Hong Zhiyou took out a letter from his arms.
There is nothing inside, only a number 7.
"Please come in." Wu Jingzhong glanced outside and pulled him into the house.
"I am Hong Zhiyou, the subordinate, meeting Stationmaster Wu." Hong Zhiyou saluted.
“You’ve been in the industry for 35 years?
"The information says that you are Gao Bin's nephew, named Gao Junjie." Wu Jingzhong frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Webmaster, how can people like us use our real names? Gao Junjie is dead, and from now on there is only Hong Zhiyou." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
“Well, he’s a cautious man.
"sit.
"It's not easy to work in Manchukuo now. The Japanese are very meticulous and have trained a large number of professional police and spies. They also have strong technical means and are far more difficult to deal with than the old warlords and red tickets in the past.
"Previously, in Fengtian, Harbin, and Xinjing, we, the Communist International, and the Red Ticket Underground Organization all suffered losses to varying degrees.
"North China is now completely in the hands of the Japanese again.
"This place is neither connected to the sky nor the ground. It's easy to get in but hard to get out.
"Boss Dai asked us to take on the task at a critical moment, and he placed great hopes on us.
"Coincidentally, last year your uncle Gao Bin was transferred from Fengtian to Harbin Police Department as the chief of the Special Agents Section. This is also the reason why the Party and the State urgently transferred you to Manchukuo."
Wu Jingzhong said with emotion.
"It's difficult. Why don't you leave? Find a way to transfer you away. Out of sight, out of mind, right?" Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
He means it.
As soon as Old Wu left, he hid in the Secret Service Department. With his uncle Gao Bin's protection, he came back to rescue the unlucky Zhou Yi. That was the end of his life.
He knew it.
If you die, you have to start over. If you really can't play the puppet Manchukuo game, the worst that can happen is that you close your eyes and change the game.
"You are quite courageous boy.
“The Japanese are capable of killing people, but do you think Boss Dai’s knife is not sharp?
"You just came from Shanghai, you know that the big traitor Li Shiqun and the people of the Military Control Commission are killing like crazy, and Li Shiqun's mentor Ji Yunqing was just killed by Boss Dai not long ago.
"I want to escape from the battlefield. I can either stay in this damn place and serve the Japanese like a dog, or go back to the interior and get shot.
"It's impossible to be a dog for the Japanese, so just do it.
"As long as you are flexible enough, there is still room for you to display your talents."
Anyone who could say such a thing was either stupid or evil. Wu Jingzhong was more inclined to believe that this guy was sent by Boss Dai to test him secretly.
"Stationmaster Wu is truly loyal and courageous!" Hong Zhiyou pretended to admire him and praised him.
"It's not righteousness, just loyalty to the boss."
Wu Jingzhong smiled and continued:
“Let me now talk about our working principles.
“When the situation is not tense, we collect intelligence and do business.
"When the situation gets tense, we can carry out assassinations and plant bombs to stop the arrogance of the Japanese and the puppet Manchukuo traitors.
“The rest of the time, eat and drink when you need to, and don’t stress too much.
“Be safe and careful when you act, do your best, and don’t be reckless or take risks.
"Remember this, if you are assigned here, your father doesn't love you, and your mother doesn't care about you.
"If you were to die, the higher-ups wouldn't shed tears.
"Your life is your own, and this is more important than anything else."
Wu Jingzhong put his left hand behind his back and pointed at Hong Zhiyoudao.
This is his unique way of managing people and his personal charm, and it is also an important reason why his subordinates remain loyal to him even in such a harsh environment as Manchukuo.
"Yes." Hong Zhiyou took the order.
"Right now, the main difficulty in reconstruction is the lack of funds.
"Now that entry and exit are strictly controlled, it is difficult for the funds allocated by Chongqing to arrive, and the police, secret agents, and military police take all kinds of bribes from businessmen.
"It is difficult to support a district-level spy network spanning multiple provinces with just this little business on the surface.
“Your identity is quite special, and you are a native of Northeast China.
“You need to use your brain more in this regard.
"For you, whether or not to get intelligence is secondary, but you have to pay more attention to the station's funding.
"Do you get me?"
Wu Jingzhong half-closed his eyes and smiled.
"It's about making money again." Hong Zhi frowned unhappily.
The puppet Manchuria was tightly controlled by the Japanese.
It is a hundred times harder to make money here than in Tianjin after the liberation.
"What do you mean again?
“Without money and even food to eat, how can we fight against the Japanese?
"Besides, isn't this easy for you?
"Let's not talk about the three treasures, sable fur, deer antlers and ginseng. The Japanese are building railways and opening mines everywhere, digging coal and gold. If you use your brains a little and get involved, wouldn't there be money everywhere?" Wu Jingzhong said.
"You are Ichiro Sakanishi's last disciple, and you are a fellow apprentice of Kenji Doihara.
"He used to be the head of the Fengtian secret service agency. Now he has set up the No. 76 and Mei agencies in Shanghai, and he is doing very well. Let alone your uncle, just with your relationship with Doihara, is there anything you can't accomplish in the Northeast?
"Trust me, I'm very good at judging people. You'll be fine."
Wu Jingzhong thought he was reluctant, so he patted his chest to encourage him.
“Okay, I’ll try my best.
"Let me make it clear first, I will not participate in murder, arson, or explosions."
Hong Zhiyou knew that during this period, Old Wu was willing to risk his life to make money.
"Approved." Wu Jingzhong said.
"correct.
"Some time ago, Yang Sen, the commander of the 27th Army, asked someone to get a batch of deer antlers, ginseng, etc. for his mother's birthday, but the batch of goods was seized by the police department.
"Yang Sen's connections have come to Boss Dai. Can you find a way to get your uncle to release these goods?
“These things are nothing in the Northeast.
"Inside the pass, it is a treasure that cannot be encountered or sought.
"General Yang has plenty of money, and if it's done, you'll definitely get some benefits.
“The key is that this is our first battle since we came to the Northeast.
“If it’s done, the boss will also be proud.
"We have always been criticized for our lack of presence in the puppet Manchukuo Military Control Station. Now that I am here, we must make a new beginning."
Wu Jingzhong poured him a cup of tea and continued.
"I can try, but it depends on how much money Yang Sen pays." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Money is easy to talk about."
Wu Jingzhong turned around and took out a small box. When he opened it, there were ten shiny gold bars inside.
"So much money?" Hong Zhiyou was quite surprised. It has been 38 years.
"Yang Sen is not short of money, what he wants is deer antlers and mink coats.
"This little money is just a drop in the bucket in his eyes."
Wu Jingzhong laughed.
In fact, Yang Sen sent thirty gold bars, ten of which were favors.
The rest will be used as my own expenses.
"Row.
"I'll do it right away." Hong Zhiyou took the box and turned away.
"Hey, Gao...Hong...what's Hong's name?" Wu Jingzhong called him.
"Hong Zhiyou, Zhi means wisdom, You means surplus." Hong Zhiyou paused and repeated it.
"Zhiyou, if you have any questions, you can call here." Wu Jingzhong wrote down a number and handed it to him.
"Thank you."
Hong Zhiyou took it, put it in his pocket and left quickly.
As soon as Hong Zhiyou left, Wu Jingzhong called Xiao Guohua and Xiao Jia in:
"Hurry up, clean up quickly, we can't live here anymore."
"Webmaster, is there something wrong with this kid? I'm going to kill him." The young and slightly irritable Xiao Guohua said coldly.
“That’s not the case.
"This man was vouched for by Boss Dai himself, so he should be trustworthy. Otherwise, do you think I could talk to him for so long?
“But you have to be on guard against others.
“If he can accomplish this, the nephew of the head of the secret service department will be a huge help.
“I have hope of reviving the Manchurian Station.
"If you can't do it, just treat it as a lesson learned with ten gold bars. You can apply to withdraw to the interior on the grounds of being exposed."
Wu Jingzhong sneered shrewdly.
"The webmaster is wise." Xiao Guohua said with admiration.
"Xiao Jia, stay here and wait for the call. If things get bad, leave."
Wu Jingzhong gave an instruction, packed up his things simply, and was ready to leave carrying a large box.
"Webmaster, the rent hasn't been paid yet?" Xiao Jia said.
“We’ve all evacuated, so why should we pay rent?
"stubborn."
Wu Jingzhong cursed and went downstairs.
……
Hong Zhiyou returned to the cabin, changed into a tweed military coat with the red collar badge of the Japanese Army embroidered on the collar, and took a taxi straight to the police station.
"Thank you, no need to look for it."
The driver was a White Russian. Hong Zhi paid the money in Russian, got out of the car quickly and walked into the hall.
In Harbin.
There are very few Chinese who dare to wear a Japanese colonel-level military coat.
Hong Zhiyou dares to wear it.
Because it was given to him personally by Doihara in Shanghai.
There's no way, in this hellish place full of beasts.
Using ghosts to scare dogs is one way.
In addition, Hong Zhi was 1.8 meters tall and had a gentle and noble temperament. The puppet Manchukuo police and spies who came towards him all looked at him secretly and envied him.
He went straight to the Secret Service Department.
dong dong.
Hong Zhiyou knocked on the door.
"Come in." Gao Bin's gloomy voice came from inside.
"uncle."
Hong Zhiyou stepped forward and saluted.
This spy chief, whose hands were stained with blood, had the sturdy frame of a man from the Northeast. Judging from his plump figure and slightly round face, he looked solid, reliable and friendly.
However, the slightly narrowed, sharp eyes and the sparse bald hair are enough to make people feel the chill from the depths of their souls.
This is a complex, scary person.
“That’s not the way it works here.
"You little brat, you look like a decent person. You even dare to wear the coat of Chief Doihara."
He joked in a friendly and humorous manner, just like he was treating his subordinates.
“No way.
"All along the way, the police from Manchukuo were more ferocious to their own people than tigers and jackals.
"Without this skin, I can't walk."
Hong Zhiyou smiled.
"Why.
"There are no human beings left in this world, they are all beasts, either people eat you, or you eat people.
"How is it, teacher?"
Gao Bin asked with a smile.
"Uncle, are you asking my teacher or your teacher?
"As for my teacher Ichiro Sakanishi, his body probably won't last many years. As for your teacher Doihara, he can find two in one night." Hong Zhi said humorously.
"You little brat, you are becoming more and more disrespectful.
“Be respectful to the Japanese.
"In order to promote the Greater East Asia Prosperity, they portray themselves as saints every day, talking about morality, but they are immoral.
“Some time ago, in a Japanese restaurant, a businessman said that the Dongxiang troops were going to Zhongma City to round up people. Before they even finished their meal, they were arrested by the military police and secretly sent away.
"You are the only spark of our Gao family.
"I would never say this to anyone else, understand?"
Gao Bin lowered his voice, his tone sincere and serious.
"Thank you uncle, I understand." Hong Zhiyou took off his coat.
"Uncle, I am a top student after all, and I have been entrusted with an important task by Mr. Doihara. Please help me find a job in the police department." Hong Zhiyou said.
"I've found one for you a long time ago, the head of the economics department." Gao Bin said with a smile.
"Economic stocks?" Hong Zhi was a little surprised.
"Why, you don't look down on me.
"Our police are in charge of public security, education, the economy, and anything else that has anything to do with human activities, except war.
"If you manage the economy well, everyone, rich or poor, will beg you for help.
"You don't have to go out and get shot."
Gao Bin said.
"Does Chief Doihara have any instructions?" he asked after a pause.
"have.
"Now the Japanese are carrying out economic reforms in Shanghai, and they cannot provide equivalent food and materials to offset the old money in the hands of the people. The people are unwilling to exchange gold for yen.
“The head of the agency hopes to mobilize supplies from North China and Northeast China, with a priority given to filling up Shanghu.
“Only when Shanghai is stable can the Japanese yen be stable.
“Similarly, they planned to support Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai to establish a puppet government in Nanjing or Wuhan.
“Among them, supplies are the top priority for the puppet government to stabilize the puppet region.
"The Northeast will have a heavy task of carrying out domestic transport in the future."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
“Isn’t this nonsense?
"Now the Kwantung Army is running out of rice, why are we still sending it to the interior?
“I advise you to stop worrying about this.
"Puyi and Wang Jingwei are two different people. I don't think they will get along.
"Let Zhang Jinghui and Zhou Fohai think about these matters."
Gao Bin shook his head.
"Ok.
"I brought some gifts for you and my aunt. Let's take them over together in the evening. I haven't been back to Harbin for two years. You have to treat me to a big dinner tonight." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
"There's a dinner party in the hall tonight, you have to go.
"There is a man named Zhou Yi in the office. Two years ago, he went to the Red Ticket Organization behind enemy lines to lurk. His identity was exposed and he escaped back. He didn't do anything great, but Zhang Jinghui personally gave him an award.
"Director Bai has announced that he will be promoted to captain of the action team.
"Hey."
Gao Bin sighed with mixed emotions.
"Uncle doesn't know Zhou Yi, and seems a little unhappy about this appointment?" Hong Zhiyou saw it.
"I have never worked with him. I had been in Fengtian before. When I was transferred here last year, he had already gone to the interior to carry out a mission.
“Not familiar.
"It's hard to like someone you're not familiar with." Gao Bin said with a smile, tilting his chin.
"Uncle, then why don't you let me be the action team leader?" Hong Zhiyou said.
"Such an important position, do you think anyone can give it to you? The fact that you can be the head of the Economics Department is the result of Doihara's help and my compromise with Zhou Yi." Gao Bin said.
"Okay." Hong Zhi nodded.
“By the way, few people in Harbin know me.
"In order to avoid relatives and to carry out some coordinated tasks with Shanghai No. 76, uncle, I suggest using a new identity, which will make things easier.
"This is also the suggestion of Chief Doihara."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Well, there is progress. I can consider it." Gao Bin nodded.
"I have prepared the information. Please enter it into the confidential room and archive it." Hong Zhiyou said.
“Hong Zhi has?
"You kid don't even want to use our Gao family's surname anymore?" Gao Bin raised his eyebrows, looking quite unhappy.
"If you want to change it, do it thoroughly to avoid the trouble of people checking it over and over again." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Ok.
"With Doihara as your guarantor and a secret mission, I will help you contact the Security Bureau. It shouldn't be difficult." Gao Bin said.
"Jun... Zhiyou, come on, follow me to pick someone up."
He smiled and stood up.
"Who to pick up?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"Zhou Yi!
"Our great hero is coming back. As the operations leader of the secret service department, I have to give him some face.
"What if it can be fed?
“Having an extra dog on your hands is always a good thing.
"However, we must be more careful with those who come from the interior and have dealt with the red tickets. The Japanese like to punish people collectively, so it is better to be safe than sorry.
"Until he's cooked, you and I have to keep a close eye on him."
Gao Bin ordered.
"Yes, uncle." Hong Zhiyou gladly accepted the order.
Given the current high-pressure environment in Manchukuo and Gao Bin being so smart, although not as hell-level as Lao Yu when he was on Wandao Island, the difficulty index is definitely approaching the ceiling.
It is really difficult for Zhou Yi to stay hidden.
