“That’s right, that’s what I mean.”

“But, Mr. Kai Ziwei, even if I promise you that I can do the job, who should I look for?” Cheng Mo wouldn’t agree easily.

Once this kind of thing was done, there was no chance to back out.

He could join the British Secret Service and work for them, the risk of doing the job was much less than the risk of doing this, and when the time came, there was no trust between the two ends, and he himself would be that abandoned outcast at any time.

He wasn’t stupid, even if the payoff for this was high, because, by agreeing to it, he could get information from the British side.

And he could report the information from both sides directly to the organization, but it seemed that he had become a “slave of the third name”.

Of course, this is an analogy, he can’t be loyal to the Junta and the British, it can only be used.

If you are not psychologically strong, you can’t do this job.

“Your sister, Miss Cheng Hua.”

“No, I am me, my sister is my sister, don’t bring her into this, besides, if my sister knew about joining the Secret Service, what would she think?” Cheng Mo shook his head, this matter, he didn’t want to involve Cheng Hua.

“Is there any possibility of establishing direct communication with Wuhan?”

“Officially, we don’t need to do that anymore, we have direct diplomatic relations with the Wuhan national government, and what we need is the control of our forces in the Concession, you see what I mean.”

“Then Mr. Kai Ziwei can just go directly to the Qing Gang, there are many suitable people among them, I don’t have much status, no one will believe that I can take on this responsibility.” Cheng Mo said.

“Cheng, don’t have such concerns, we will give you enough authorization and will also assist you in doing things for them when necessary to help you gain their trust, this is our sincerity.”

“Can you let me think about it, this job you mentioned is too challenging, I’m afraid I can’t handle it.” Cheng Mo was silent for a while and said.

“Of course, I hope to get your answer as soon as possible.” Kai Ziwei nodded.

“Three days, Mr. Kai Ziwei give me three days?”

“OK.”

Coming down from the second floor, Cheng Mo met Shen Mo, and with a glance, he understood the other party’s meaning.

Followed Shen Mo.

Came to a bathroom, Shen Mo went in first, checked to make sure no one was there, opened the door, and put up a “cleaning” sign.

When Cheng Mo saw it, he directly followed and pushed the door in.

“Gao Si asked me to give this to you.” Shen Mo handed Cheng Mo a note with an address and time written on it.

This was an appointment to meet him.

“Third Brother, you guys picked up so quickly?” Cheng Mo asked, “Did the Shanghai Special Administrative Region arrange a mission for you?”

“Well, after Wang Zongnan’s arrest, I had a single line of contact with Cheng Yiming and didn’t cross over with anyone in the Shanghai Special Administrative Region, and this was the task given by Mr. Dai.” Shen Mo nodded.

“Do you need help rescuing Wang Zongnan?”

“Cheng Yiming didn’t say, and I didn’t ask, but Wang Zongnan was arrested by Japanese patrols, and is now being held in the Huade Road detention center, the British seem to have sensed that he is an important person, and although the Japanese military police in Shanghai have made several representations to extradite him, the Bureau of Public Works didn’t agree to it.”

“How was Wang Zongnan arrested?” (Wang Fangnan was changed to Wang Zongnan because it was a historical figure, to avoid danger)

“He was led out, as the assistant secretary of the Hutt District and head of the Intelligence Group, he wouldn’t have done anything to be the first to be arrested.”

“So is there a traitor within, or is it someone who was caught and couldn’t survive the torture and confessed?” Cheng Mo’s hand shook for a moment as he fastened his pants and analyzed.

“It should be the latter, I’m not sure about the specifics, it should be related to Zhou Fengqi’s case.” Shen Mo said.

“Okay, I know.” Cheng Mo unscrewed the faucet and washed his hands, then opened the door and walked out directly. Shen Mo, on the other hand, smoked a cigarette in the bathroom, flushed out the cigarette and water together, before opening the door and taking down the “cleaning” sign and leaving.

He drank until after 10:00 pm, when Cheng Mo left from Xian Le Si and returned home.

Gao Si asked to see himself, obviously there is something important, and he also had something to go to Hongkou, the two things can be done together.

He got up early the next morning and went to work.

First of all, he came back to familiarize himself with the work, and after a busy morning, the lunch break came, he directly left the capture room, and came towards the North Sichuan Road.

After the Japanese negotiated and signed an agreement with the Bureau of Public Works, Hongkou and the concession is back to the freedom of the past, except that, Hongkou side under the control of the Japanese police.

The streets were filled with Japanese, and very few Chinese could be seen. The area had basically become a centralized Japanese settlement.

There are Japanese soldiers, army, navy, gendarmes with black badges, ronin warriors and Japanese women and children everywhere.

They are free and cozy, chasing and playing, but this is someone else’s land, but they treat it as if it were their own home.

“Crescent Moon Izakaya.

Takashi had asked him to meet him here at 12:00 p.m. A Japanese place is a place where you should be careful in whatever you do.

He didn’t go directly to see Takashi, but observed and judged to see if he had any Japanese agents with him for protection.

Only after realizing that there were indeed none, did he walk over towards where Gao Si was.

Gao Si obviously failed to recognize Cheng Mo, who last time on the ship was a young man with wavy hair, a high nose, and a somewhat mixed face.

And standing in front of him was a man wearing sunglasses, with a scar on his left sideburn, and looking a bit jaded.

“Takashi, it’s me.” Just as Gao Si opened his mouth about to call out to someone, Cheng Mo opened his mouth and called out to him, using the same voice line that he had used on the ship, naturally.

“You’re Song Smoke, how did you become like this?”

“For the sake of safety, this is a Japanese-occupied area, you don’t want anything to happen to me either, otherwise, how would I know your name?” Cheng Mo smiled slightly, look at your uneducated demeanor, “Tell me, what’s the matter with asking me out in such a hurry?”

“They asked me to go to Tokyo to talk, I agreed, I will leave the day after tomorrow, today I also met with Matsumoto, the president of the Shanghai branch of the Allied News Agency, I am going over there in a private capacity this time ……,” Gao Si said quickly.

“You know your identity well, don’t mess around.”

“Don’t worry, I know.” Gao Si nodded, to come to Shanghai, the higher-ups knew, but to go to Tokyo, Japan, that wasn’t said, it had to be reported.

“How did you get away from their surveillance?”

“That’s easy, it’s not like I’m a prisoner without freedom, if they send someone to follow me again, I won’t go to Tokyo, do I still have a security problem in Hongkou, which is controlled by you Japanese?”

“Makes sense, but still, don’t be careless.” Cheng Mo said, got up and left.

He didn’t leave right away, but waited for Gao Si to come out of the Crescent Moon Izakaya and made sure that no one was following him before he left.

Cheng Mo went to the Kikuka Study House, Nakamura Gong was obviously not there, but asked Kikuchi Ming to leave a letter.

The content of the letter is naturally written in secret, roughly the recent movements of the Japanese Cabinet, especially in terms of policy towards China, there is not much change.

However, one point was mentioned, that is, Prime Minister Konoe wanted to push for the establishment of a committee specializing in China affairs, referred to as the “Council for China”.

However, this was strongly opposed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the simple reason that it would jeopardize the monocratic system of diplomacy.

As a result, Foreign Minister Hiroki Hirota resigned angrily, and Konoe himself assumed the post.
