Chapter 257.
“Selling Newspapers, Selling Newspapers, Japanese Prime Minister Fumi Konoe’s Second Statement to China ……”
This statement was officially issued by Japanese Prime Minister Konoe Fumimo in Tokyo on November 3, and the full text was published to the public.
It was already the next day when it appeared in the Shanghai press.
The summary of its content is: If the national government “insists on the policy of resisting Japan and tolerating communism, the empire will never withdraw its troops, and will keep on fighting until it collapses”.
Such a tough attitude attracted the attention of the whole world, and it seemed that there was no hope for “peace” in the Sino-Japanese war.
Those who know the inside story realize that this statement, though tough, is not the same as the first one.
Although this statement is tough, but with the first statement is still different, at least no longer say, not “Chiang” leadership of the national government to negotiate this one to take away, and also implies a layer of meaning, as long as you yield, we can talk.
This also seems to be for the “Wang” work to create momentum.
But for the majority of Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, this is obviously want to completely destroy the Chinese species, enslavement of the Chinese people.
How can we agree to this?
Must fight, and must fight, even if the last drop of blood, will not hesitate.
“Extradition Keiko, whose decision is this?” Cheng Mo received a call from Pryde about the results of the disposition of the Bureau of Public Works in the previous case of Keiko killing her husband Nojiri.
The Bureau of Public Works finally agreed to extradite Keiko to the Japanese side for trial.
“This was the decision of the IMB board of directors after discussing the matter.” Pryde explained, “Cheng, you solved this case, and the case took place in the Lease, but both Keiko and Nojiri are Japanese expatriates, and according to the agreement signed between the Lease and the Japanese, such a case can be extradited to the Japanese domestic side for trial.”
“But Keiko is more than just a housewife ……”
“The available evidence is insufficient to prove that she has done anything in the Concession to jeopardize the security and safety of the Concession, and we can’t refuse the Japanese side’s extradition on that ground.”
“Alright, I respect the decision of the Bureau of Public Works.” Cheng Mo knew that Keiko would definitely be extradited, only that it was time to fight and also to fight a little.
Cheng Mo was the case manager, so the handover of the extradited Keiko was naturally carried out by him. At the same time, it also allowed him to familiarize himself with the process.
This was a must.
This was the last time Keiko was seen after she was put in the detention center.
The Japanese Military Police Special Branch, as the receiving party, completed the handover procedures with Cheng Mo.
The personal belongings concerning Keiko were also handed over together.
“Detective Cheng, I will remember you.” Keiko said seriously to Cheng Mo before getting into the car.
“Thank you.”
Once on the bus Keiko was uncuffed, the Japanese second lieutenant in charge of receiving her solemnly said, “Your identity has been exposed, you can’t stay in Shanghai, the staff headquarters has given you a new identity ……”
“To Chongqing?” Keiko was shocked to see her new identity and the content of her mission and said.
“Yes, you are needed there.”
“Alright, I see, when do we leave?” Keiko took a deep breath. “I’m sending you to Wusongkou for a boat now.” The Ensign said, “Your personal belongings, you can pick some to take with you ……”
“There’s no need, dispose of them all.” Keiko faintly commanded.
“Hi!”
“Fourth brother, this Keiko’s information, please pass it back to the bureau headquarters for the record.” Cheng Mo found Xu Baichuan and handed Keiko’s information to him.
“Wasn’t she extradited back to Japan for interrogation?”
“Do you believe that she went back to Japan for trial?” Cheng Mo asked a rhetorical question.
Xu Baichuan nodded, “Okay, I know, you over, you are also too sensitive, this woman has exposed her identity, even if she goes back and is not put on trial, she will not be used again, right?”
“Her identity is exposed, but that is in Shanghai, the people who have seen her are few and far between, and all in Shanghai, she just needs to change her identity and lurk in a different place, if she doesn’t run into her acquaintances in Shanghai, how much do you think there is a possibility of exposure?” Cheng Mo asked.
“Well, you have a point, this Japanese woman is not simple, not only is she good at camouflage, but she is also meticulous, if she really lurks in a different place, it’s really hard to find out.” Xu Baichuan said, “Alright, I promise to file the information as fast as possible.”
“Fourth brother, do you still have any connections on the side of the Loyal Salvation Army?”
“There’s still a little bit of connection, why, I also need to have my own news channel.” Xu Baichuan hesitated for a moment, but still said it honestly.
“Cut it off immediately, don’t have any more contact with that side!” Cheng Mo was very decisive, almost in a commanding tone.
“What’s wrong, what happened?”
“Some field comrades of the Junta were arrested the other day, I don’t feel too good about it, Zhou Weilong is both the SAR Governor and the Commander-in-Chief of the Loyal Salvation Army, this is very unreasonable, once something goes wrong, it will be a devastating blow not only to the Shanghai SAR, but also to the Loyal Salvation Army, the Japanese’s current tactic is to ‘use China to control China’. Many of our people quietly in the Japanese secret service agencies to receive intelligence funding, this situation is more and more, once the formation can a dark current, this is a devastating blow to our infiltration organization, some of us are still paralyzed, this will also go wrong.” Cheng Mo said.
“All these, why didn’t you mention the suggestion to Boss Dai?”
“If I mention it, that’s not interfering with the work of the Shanghai Special Zone, besides, do I have the qualifications?” Cheng Mo said, “Anyway, be careful, break off any past relationships, and anyone who knows you’re still in Shanghai must be withdrawn, or hidden, and must never have any contact with the Shanghai Special Administrative Region again.”
“Don’t worry, Old Six, I will pay attention.” Xu Baichuan nodded.
News came from the Marshal’s Office that another person had been arrested, this time it was a field transportation station of the Loyal Salvation Army that the Marshal’s Office had terminated.
Not a single person escaped, all were arrested.
However, there was no reaction from the Shanghai Special Administrative Region. Cheng Mo got the news through his second brother, Wu Jianfeng.
He was involved in the arrest.
This is also a coincidence, otherwise, Cheng Mo could not have known, Wu Jianfeng participated in the peripheral deployment, but the specific arrests, he is not qualified to know.
However, this situation immediately caused Cheng Mo’s vigilance, Zhou Weilong’s arrest was caused by the arrest of some of the previous columns of field officers.
The arrest of field personnel, the junta not only failed to receive timely news, but also very paralyzed, and even more ridiculous is that Zhou Weilong’s arrest is actually because he is too bad-tempered, the secretary of the junta’s Hutu District to give him a warning, when he called him, he was taking a nap, and his wife actually did not dare to wake him, as a result, he did not know what was happening, and fell headlong into the traps set by the Judge Advocate General’s Corps and the Nittoku Special Intelligence Service.
The district chief of the Junta’s Shanghai Special Zone was actually arrested in this way, which was really ridiculous and laughable to the extreme.
If not Dai Yunong begged to the old man, using diplomatic relations, note the French side, requesting the French Concession not to allow his extradition to the Japanese side.
I am afraid that Zhou Weilong will become the first arrested district chief of the Shanghai district of the military intelligence.
