Chapter 326.

Inside 76 Husi – Pole Sifel Road.

The atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

The entrapment operation was very well arranged, how was it detected by the Bureau of Public Works patrol room, and also set up a dragnet, waiting for their action to start, swarmed up, and arrested all of the action teams of No. 76 who participated in the entrapment operation.

Someone must have leaked the information.

There are traitors within 76.

However, very few people knew about this matter, and Lin Shiqun had lined up everyone who could have leaked the information, and none of them had been able to find the traitor.

“Deputy Director Lin, could it be a leak from the Blue Clothes Society’s side?” Someone came up with an idea at this time.

“Impossible, if it was the Blue Coat Society’s joints that leaked the news, then why was it necessary to set up so many people to make arrests?”

“It’s not easy to say, otherwise, have someone inquire to see if the Ministry of Public Works Bureau side has also gotten the relevant information, and it just happened to collide with us.” Ding Mochun said.

“In the dictionary of secret agents, there is no such word as ‘coincidence’!” Lin Shiqun flatly denied.

“That Cheng Mo one item against us, but also many harboring of anti-Japanese elements in the Concession, really hateful, if you ask me, find someone to kill him directly!” Wu Sibao already hated Cheng Mo to the bone.

“Not only are there Brits behind Cheng Mo, it’s rumored that he has a relationship with the Japanese consulate in Shanghai as well, this person has a very unusual background.” First Action Brigade Captain Lin Zhijiang spoke up.

“Ever since we’ve been on bad terms with this person, we’ve conducted an investigation targeting his social relations, and we’ve really found out something, Deputy Director Lin, want to hear it?” Tang Keming, the division chief in charge of intelligence, said.

“Speak.”

“He’s the younger brother of the third aunt of former Songhu Police Commander Yang Hu.”

“He still has this relationship?” Ding Mo Chuen let out a surprised cry, obviously this situation was unknown to him, Lin Shiqun didn’t seem to be very clear about it either, after all, there were many things that didn’t have anything to do with Lin Shiqun himself.

The previous conflicts were either Wu Sibao or Ji Yunqing’s disagreement with Cheng Mo, there was no direct conflict with 76 or Lin Shiqun.

Except for this one, which ruined his plan to trap “Wang Tianmu”.

“His sister’s name is Cheng Hua, a very smart and skillful woman, however, she has already separated from Yang Hu, she just hasn’t dissolved her relationship yet.” Tang Keming continued.

“What else?”

“That’s all that’s known at the moment, but the last time the Husi Military Police clashed with him, it was ultimately His Excellency General Tofihara who intervened, and Commander Miura who made the concession ……”

“That is to say, a choice made out of imperial interests or some kind of special relationship?” Ding Mo Chuen analyzed, “Shiquan old brother, this Cheng Mo doesn’t seem to be too easy to deal with, should you be more cautious, should you communicate with Major Haruki or ask His Excellency the Shadow Sergeant for instructions?”

Lin Shiqun was silent, but Guo Zhonghe and the others he had to save, otherwise, in the future, would Wu Sibao and the others still be able to willingly work for him?

Moreover, he is clear about the Japanese ambitions for Shanghai West and even the Concession, take this opportunity to bully the Concession to give up the police power of the area where Shanghai West crosses the border and builds a road, regardless of whether there is any reason or not, first create a momentum before saying so! ……

“Send this circular to the major newspapers in the Concession, tomorrow morning’s news must be published in accordance with the meaning of the circular, whoever changes the content without authorization, I will seize that newspaper!”

“Just the newspapers in the Concession?”

“Yes, including the French Concession as well, if their newspapers want to enter the Public Concession to sell, all together.” Cheng Mo commanded.

The Political Unit was in charge of this, and now that he was the deputy head of the Chinese Unit, he belonged to the middle and upper echelons of the Political Unit, and with the support of the British, there was no problem at all in meddling with the censorship of the press and publications.

With the growing importance of the Political Unit, it is expected that the abolished Political Division will be re-established, and by that time, the power of the Political Unit will also be greatly increased.76 has a knack for propaganda and rumor-mongering, and these people originally came from this background, and are good at public opinion.

Cheng Mo will never give them a chance to start rumors.

It’s impossible for them to make rumors first.

After the trial of Guo Zhonghe, Cheng Mo drove to the central police station, looking for Pryde and Laubertson to report on the situation, although this action is supported by the British, but he is also very clear that the British support is very limited, they will also be subject to domestic pressure.

The interests of the Far East, although they do not want to give up, are beyond their reach, because Europe is their home base.

The smell of gunpowder on the European continent is getting stronger and stronger, and many signs indicate that the Germans have signs of striking in Europe.

Although the United Kingdom and Europe across the English Channel, but he still understands the reasoning that the lips are dying, once Europe is occupied by the Germans, the British Empire can hide in the lone outside?

It is bound to give up part of the interests of the Far East, at least not let Japan find an excuse to stir up trouble.

“Mr. Pryde, the Japanese will surely pressure us to release the people, if we give in easily, then they will surely gain an inch, stir up a bigger trouble, and step by step eat up the interests of the leased territory, so what should we do?”

“Pryde, has there been a call back from Mr. Tony’s side?” Laubertson asked.

“Mr. Tony is on vacation in Hong Kong, there might not be a call for a while, but we have already informed Mr. John about the situation over here.”

John Kai Ziwei, Tony Kai Ziwei’s younger brother, was also the Taipan of Jardine Matheson, and was likewise the head of the British Special Intelligence Agency in the Far East.

“Cheng, you write a report to me, tomorrow morning, I will report to the General Office together with General Ba, and you attach the next move that the Japanese and No. 76 may take.” Laubertson instructed.

“Yes, I’ve already written the report, please take a look.” Cheng Mo came to report, naturally he had written the report long ago.

“Oh, you wrote it long ago?” Laubertson was surprised.

“Yes, I was that this matter is very important and cannot be delayed, it is necessary to react immediately as well as in advance, so after the arrest was completed, I wrote the report while interrogating.” Cheng Mo explained.

“GOOD, Cheng, you are the best Chinese arrest I have seen, bar none.” Laubertson gave Cheng Mo a thumbs up with great appreciation.

“I’m worried that those people from 76 will do something even bigger with the support of the Japanese, so we must take precautions.” Cheng Mo suggested.

“Well, your suggestion is timely, I’ll report it to Chief Ba and Chief Philip’s office.” Laubertson nodded.

As expected, early the next morning, the front-page news of the Japanese-controlled newspapers New Declaration and China Daily reported the news of the seizure of No. 76’s car and personnel by the Bureau of Public Works Police Office without any reason, and demanded that the Bureau of Public Works Police Office immediately release the seized car and the people concerned; at the same time, the Japanese Military Police Command in Shanghai also lodged a stern protest to the Bureau of Public Works Police Office, and if the Bureau of Public Works Police Office didn’t release the people, they threatened to to send troops to occupy the Concession directly.

However, the same newspapers in the Concession, such as the Shanghai Daily and the Damei Evening News, reported the diametrically opposite situation, with photos of the capture of No. 76’s agents on the spot.

The fact is that the agent of No. 76 entered the rented area with a gun without permission from the rented area authorities with the intention of kidnapping, and the captured agent of No. 76 confessed to the fact ……

No. 76 and the Japanese are being wicked and backwards.

At this time the Japanese are bluffing, they have just been beaten up by the Soviet Union in Nomonhan, nose to nose, at this time, if they are again in Shanghai to do with the British, the Northeast side, the Soviet Union will still not be easy to stop the truce.

Even if Soviet Russia does not want to fight, will it increase the negotiation conditions at that time?
