Chapter 394.
Of the sixty people released, the old and sick accounted for a third.
However, Cheng defaulted to the fact that these people probably wouldn’t survive for long if they continued to stay in the Lone Army Camp, and now that they were out, they could at least survive.
Although these people were in the National Army, they were all of the warriors who fought against the Japanese on the Songhu battlefield.
They shouldn’t end up like this.
At the same time, when the Japanese saw that the ones released were such people, they naturally wouldn’t pay too much attention to them, these old and weak people, even if they came out, how much of a difference could they make? As long as Xie Zhongmin and the others don’t come out, it’s not a big problem.
Releasing some people.
It is also releasing some goodwill, whether this goodwill is for Cheng Mo, or for the military junta behind Cheng Mo as well as the Chongqing side, it depends on their respective understanding.
Cheng Mo is very clear, the Japanese are now secretly still thinking of secret peace talks with the Chongqing side, they are now like a headless fly, can not pick up the relationship.
Because of Wang’s relationship, the Chongqing side openly announced that they do not accept any conditions of the Japanese, even the diplomatic mediation has been interrupted.
The Japanese really want to solve the China problem.
Their top brass were not fools who could not see the crisis at home and the bigger ambitions they had within them.
The Chinese battlefield has held back the Japanese army too many troops, and the gain and pay, far less than they want, their goal is not only focus on a China, there is a sea of stars.
Therefore, from the Chinese battlefield to withdraw, will be limited forces into a wider target, Siberia and even Southeast Asia’s oil, food and rubber resources that do not smell? The Japanese Navy has long been unable to hold back, looking at the Army to eat meat, they can only follow the back of the drink of the soup, simply can not eat enough.
Cheng Mo is not military intelligence.
The Japanese secret service has long done research and judgment.
The conclusion is: no.
The reason is very simple, Cheng Mo is to stay in Japan back, although briefly joined the salt bank, and then was left to guard the four rows of warehouses.
He was a watchman and didn’t play much of a role.
Then he joined the Police Department of the Ministry of Public Works Bureau, a relationship of the former police commander Yang Hu, counting from Cheng Hua’s relationship.
Cheng Mo counts as Yang Hu’s brother-in-law.
No one had any connection with the military junta.
Entered the Ministry of Public Works Bureau Police Department, soon after the British appreciation, was sent to Hong Kong to participate in special training, from the Hong Kong side of the news feedback.
Cheng Mo should be training results are very excellent, and then was absorbed into the British intelligence department.
Of course, the British should also be looking at Cheng Mo’s connections behind the thousands of strands, so he was especially favored, and absorbed into the.
The British then used his past social connections to link up with the military intelligence.
Cheng Mo was most likely a liaison between the British and the Junta, and this is all too normal in intelligence work.
In intelligence work, the existence of such gray figures was also necessary to avoid miscalculations on both sides.
The British naturally also hoped that the Junta would not make a bloody mess in the Concession, and needed someone to pass messages from it.
Sometimes, even if there is a formal call channel, there must also be this kind of darkness.
With this channel in place, the two sides can still try and communicate with each other, after all, the British are not at war with China.
Cheng Mo has the experience of staying in Japan, it is said that the grades are also quite excellent, and there is no special “anti-Japanese” speech.
He even joined a Japanese news agency.
Therefore, the Japanese intelligence agencies finally judged that Cheng Mo is an object that can be fought for and drawn in, especially after Chiyoko came to Shanghai.
After Chiyoko came to Shanghai, she had such a trump card in her hand. The Japanese intelligence authorities determined that Chiyoko can be used to achieve Cheng Mo to fight over, the hero is not a beauty.
Besides, they used to be “lovers”.
In fact, after Chiyoko came to Shanghai, her dealings with Cheng Mo also gave the Japanese intelligence agency to create such a false impression.
The only thing is that Chiyoko did not start on Cheng Mo, which caused the intelligence department to be dissatisfied, and felt the need to push a hand.
However, due to Chiyoko’s special status, they naturally could not order her to take the initiative to “seduce” the other party in the same way as they did with the intelligence officers.
Therefore, they used such a “dirty” method.
Obviously it worked.
We are all smart people, since we understand each other’s ideas, then we have to look at the sincerity of both sides, not to say that once in bed, I have to be blackmailed by you.
This is just a “moral” stain, any man has made the mistake, as long as they do not care, what can others do to you?
Even if the British know about it, they probably won’t say anything, and only by slowly tying them up can they achieve the goal of real control.
Therefore, Cheng Mo moved the idea of a lone military camp.
Japanese intelligence naturally also analyzing, what is the purpose of his doing so, active test them on him can do which step? Or is the back of the military intelligence know that he was “counted”, and then through him to test.
Lu Jing Shi went to the lonely army camp, this is obviously the military intelligence behind the calculation, why would they do this? Sure enough, the feedback came.
Related to the fact that Suzuki in Hong Kong was looking for someone on the Chongqing side to talk to, it was clear that the junta knew about the Japanese intentions.
Before the secret contact in Hong Kong, do a test run in Shanghai first.
Seemingly two unrelated things, but in fact, they are closely related. No wonder, Cheng Mo would suddenly make such a request.
Whether the British know it or not, it’s hard to say. Hong Kong is under the control of the British, so it’s hard to guarantee that, say, they know something about it.
The Japanese intelligence agencies are also well aware that if you say that you want a Chinese person to be absolutely loyal to Japan, they would not even believe it themselves if you say this.
So, the only way is to use interests to bind or coerce or something like that.
Cheng Mo is different from Wang’s people.
Wang’s people had their own so-called “ideals” before they chose to cooperate with Japan, while Japan also reached the so-called agreement with Wang for its own political purposes.
In fact, Japan wanted to occupy and rule this land directly, only that they could not do so at the present stage and had to support a puppet regime to achieve the goal of slowly controlling it, so that they could follow the example of the Manchurian Qing Dynasty and spend one or two generations to completely turn this land into Japan’s. Since they had to do so, they could not use their own “ideals” to control the land, and they could not use their own “ideals” to control the land.
Since we have to do this, we can’t use too strong means, also can’t use “black or white” to screen.
After all, Cheng Mo is not affiliated with their intelligence agency.
At most, it is a cooperative relationship.
If Cheng Mo didn’t have this value, then it would be a different story.
Cheng Mo also wanted to test how much he was valued on the Japanese side, and what the Japanese wanted to use him for. These he was not very clear about either.
On this issue, he had discussed it with Wen Qiu and Tang Tao, and the conclusion was that the Japanese had an internal power struggle, and they needed to find someone who could check and balance 76.
It was a bit ridiculous.
Cheng Mo also didn’t think that there was such a visionary within the Japanese, but in the long run, if he really became such a person, it would instead give him more room to play.
Because he knew that sooner or later, the Japanese would occupy the Concession, and then No. 76’s power would expand dramatically, and then compete with the Japanese for power and profit, so that even they couldn’t control themselves, and eventually came down hard to get rid of Lin Shiqun.
