Chapter 548
Miura Saburo, you have to get rid of Nishio Teruzo, but don’t do it in the concession.
If you can’t get rid of him, I’ll do it for you.
Liu Guoxing’s team did not withdraw from the HK district for this strike, but he also didn’t know if Nishio Teruzo would come to Shanghai as he had in history.
Therefore, there were also many uncertainties.
However, Cheng Mo also has sources of information. For example, after the mermaid went to Jinling this time, with her social skills, she not only helped Ding Mocun consolidate his position in the Wang Clique regime, but also broke into the circle of the Japanese puppet high-level officials in Jinling.
Her half-Japanese descent really played a huge role.
The top-secret intelligence that Saigo Teruzo was coming to Shanghai was sent back by her. Otherwise, how would Cheng Mo know Saigo Teruzo’s whereabouts and be able to arrange for someone to follow and monitor him in advance.
Dark Fire is always quiet until it strikes, and then it strikes with a vengeance! This is the reason why he demanded privileges from Dai Yinuo. Without this, even if Dai Yinuo indulges him, someone else will be unhappy and will give him a hard time or secretly cause him trouble. Never underestimate the evil in human nature.
There is no such thing as love without reason in this world, but there is hatred.
This time, neither the mission nor the objective was told to anyone in advance by Cheng Mo, and the main task force was Liu Guoxing’s action team.
Since completing the Fu Xiaonan mission, they have been lurking in the HK district. After completing this mission, they can no longer stay in Shanghai.
Cheng Mo has already arranged for their evacuation.
Next, the Japanese puppet regime will definitely conduct a frantic manhunt. It is too dangerous to stay in Shanghai. It is not too late to come back after the storm has passed.
Cheng Mo has already prepared a new identity for them.
Waiting, the mission is triggered! As the time slowly approaches the number, Cheng Mo sits quietly in his office, looking at the telephone on his desk. Next, as soon as the telephone rings, the mission will begin.
Tick, tock…
The electric fan keeps spinning, blowing air, but beads of sweat keep rolling down his forehead. It’s so hot.
Ding, ding, ding! 鈥淵es, I understand, call back if there’s anything else!鈥� Cheng Mo hangs up the phone. This is not the call he was expecting.
Another call comes in. It is a routine report. The situation on Nanjing Road is calm. The students are now very restrained…
Ding-ling-ling…
This phone call is obviously much more urgent. Cheng Mo suddenly stands up. He waits until the phone rings three times before he suddenly grabs the receiver: 鈥淗ello, this is me. The convoy of cars driven by Nishio Teruzo refuses to go to the Chinachem Hotel and is turning towards the International Hotel instead?鈥�
鈥淥kay, I understand. Keep an eye on it.鈥� Cheng Mo put down the phone, a hint of joy in his eyes. Just as the historical records had it, Saioji Zozo really didn’t like the British. The Chinachem Hotel was owned by the British, but he had a tantrum and refused to go there, instead going to the International Hotel in the American concession.
The security at the International Hotel was handled by a US Marine Corps unit stationed in Shanghai.
This was the only thing that the audacious Lieutenant General Saburo Miura had not counted on. However, Saburo Miura was truly 鈥渂rave鈥� and, seeing that everything set up at the Chinachem Hotel had been for naught, he actually led his men and plainclothes military police to storm the International Hotel directly.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with considering it from Saburo Miura’s perspective. The outcome of the battle would be decided in this one move. Even if he quietly terminated the operation, would Teruzo Nishio not find out?
That was obviously impossible. And Nishio Teruzo suddenly changing his itinerary was most likely because he knew what he was doing and deliberately did it.
Then just go for it, and do it hard!
Anyway, you know about it, and you won’t let me go, so screw you. As long as you die in the concession, I’ll have an excuse to send troops into the concession.
In the end, how did this matter turn out? That’s not for the victor to write, is it?
Moreover, he didn’t take the foreign troops in the concession seriously, believing that the soldiers of the Japanese Empire were the most powerful in the world! With this blind confidence and reckless madness, Miura Saburo really made an unbelievable move that shocked the world, leading a group of people straight to the International Hotel.
The Americans were nothing to fear, and Nishio Teruzo entered the concession without many guards around him, which was the best opportunity to get rid of him.
Moreover, he wasn’t unprepared.
Among the students marching to the Cathay Hotel were Japanese undercover agents he had quietly arranged. Since they were going to frame the concession, they had to get some decent evidence.
The students staged an anti-Japanese demonstration and assassinated the commander of the Japanese army in China, and the concessionary government was suspected of connivance and inadequate protection.
In order to suppress anti-Japanese forces and ensure the safety of senior imperial officers in China, wouldn’t the Japanese army’s occupation of the concession be a justifiable reason?
However, Miura Saburo did not expect that the so-called students in the parade received the news and incited the students to turn around and go to the International Hotel.
By the time Miura Saburo and his men arrived from the Chinachem Hotel, they were about to converge and storm the International Hotel all the way.
Cheng Mo had quietly mobilized the nearby patrolmen and secret service teams and armored vehicles on patrol, plus the US Marines at the International Hotel.
The two sides joined forces and directly suppressed Miura Sabur艒 and his men at the entrance of the International Hotel.
Moreover, the Japanese spies in the student procession were also singled out one by one. Whether they were students or not, it was clear just by asking the real students.
When Nishio Teruzo received the news, he couldn’t believe it. Miura Sabur艒 actually dared to assassinate him.
If the person had not been brought before him and the weapon seized, he would have thought it was a bad joke.
This was practically giving him a huge handle. He had come today to get rid of this guy, but he never expected him to fight to the death and try to kill him.
This was a huge joke.
Moreover, this incident happened in the concession, and was suppressed by a Chinese inspector general of the concession’s police station.
If this got out, it would definitely be a huge scandal in the Japanese military.
鈥淐ommander, at present, only someone is plotting to assassinate you when you come to Shanghai to attend an event, but no one knows who is planning the assassination!鈥� Cheng Mo spoke eloquently in front of Nishio Teruzo.
Although Nishio Teruzo has only been in China for one year, if he uses his connections well within this year, he will be the greatest help in controlling the concession.
If he can get the support of the commander of the expeditionary army, even if it is only superficial, it will make a world of difference.
This is a passive move, and Cheng Mo doesn’t know if Miura Saburo will do something crazy like in history.
But preparations must be made.
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
鈥淥h, Mr. Cheng Mo, you speak Japanese so well?鈥� Nishio Teruzo obviously did not know Cheng Mo, but an Osa next to him then stepped forward and whispered something in his ear, and Nishio’s eyes immediately lit up, 鈥淪o it turns out that Cheng Mo-kun is actually a high-achieving graduate of Waseda University in the Empire of Japan. My apologies.鈥�
鈥淵our Excellency, you are too kind.鈥�
鈥漋ery well, you saved my life today, and I will repay you.鈥� Nishio Teruzo nodded. He didn’t have time to chat with Cheng Mo right now, he had more important things to do. He instructed the major just now, 鈥楾akeda-kun, from now on, you will be in contact with Cheng Mo-kun. I want to invite him to dinner tomorrow.鈥�
鈥漎es, Your Excellency.鈥�
