Chapter 1601 Is General Toda okay? (asking for monthly votes)
"The old devil Toda Seiichiro committed a bloody crime in Nanjing." Sheng Shuyu gnashed his teeth in hatred, "Aren't the Japanese most afraid of being beheaded? I want to take his head back to Chongqing."
Song Fuguo originally wanted to persuade him. After all, it was not easy to carry the head of a Japanese major general through mountains and rivers and through numerous Japanese checkpoints back to Chongqing. However, seeing Sheng Shuyu's firm attitude, he gave up.
Of course, seeing Toda Seiichirō’s head being cut off as a trophy, Song Fuguo felt extremely relieved.
Seiichirō Toda, who committed a blood debt in Nanjing, deserves this retribution!
……
Just a month ago, Boss Dai from Chongqing issued instructions to all stations, requiring military personnel in various places to freely attack the Japanese army. All stations responded enthusiastically, especially the Japanese troops who had been to Nanjing and committed bloody crimes. They were the number one enemy of all anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians!
"It's not easy to bring this old devil's head back to Chongqing." Song Fuguo still said.
"The hermit has a clever plan of his own," said Sheng Shuyu.
"Have all the brothers settled down?" Song Fuguo asked.
"It's settled." Sheng Shuyu nodded. "Our Director Xiao has already made arrangements. Well, I really have to thank him this time."
Although he was quite dissatisfied with Cheng Qianfan's rise to power, Sheng Shuyu was also a person who cared about the overall situation. Moreover, he had to admit that Cheng Qianfan was doing a good job in Shanghai and the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department was indeed very powerful.
……
"How many casualties did the brothers suffer?" Song Fuguo asked.
"Six of our brothers died for their country, and three were injured." Sheng Shuyu's expression was sad. "These beasts are indeed very capable. We attacked them unexpectedly and inflicted heavy casualties on them immediately. The remaining enemies still caused us considerable casualties."
Song Fuguo sighed. Although he had been prepared for the death and injury of his brothers, he couldn't help but feel sad and heartbroken when the time came.
"Now that the matter here is over, the next step is to hide and lie dormant until the storm passes, and then arrange for the brothers to evacuate Shanghai safely." Song Fuguo said seriously.
"The work is almost done. I'll have to trouble Director Xiao with the evacuation." Sheng Shuyu sat down, sighed comfortably, and said.
……
"Did Lord Arai say anything?" asked Araki Harima, sitting in a wheelchair.
"Never said that." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "Mr. Arai only said that he knew."
Araki Harima nodded slightly. This was indeed Lord Arai's temperament.
"What's the current situation at the Military Police Headquarters?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"They left in disgrace." Araki Harima sneered, "They felt that the section chief had died a disgrace, and the Special High Section was leaderless, so they wanted to take this opportunity to extend their tentacles in."
As he spoke, he snorted coldly.
……
"Fortunately, we have Mr. Araki here, otherwise things would be really troublesome." Cheng Qianfan said seriously.
Araki Harima liked to hear this, and a hint of joy appeared between his brows.
"Araki-kun," Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "The section chief has unfortunately met with misfortune. Now the Special High Section needs someone to step up and take charge of the situation. Araki-kun, you have to work harder."
Araki Harima looked at Miyazaki Kentaro.
"Mr. Araki, we are honest with each other." Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette and said, "The position of section chief is vacant. I support you, Mr. Araki."
"Miyazaki-kun," Araki Harima said sternly, "The position of section chief is appointed by the superiors. I will just pretend I didn't hear you."
Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly and said nothing more.
"There is one more thing. The commander of the Empire's newly formed 5th Reserve Brigade, Toda Seiichirō, held a birthday party at the Pukou Hotel on Pukou Road." Cheng Qianfan said, "I learned that the enemy attacked the Pukou Hotel and the battle was said to be fierce."
"I have also received some relevant information." Araki Harima nodded, "I have asked Yuga-kun to send someone to investigate."
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Araki Harima. In terms of rank, the head of the Intelligence Room, Arikakuma, and the captain of Araki Harima's action team were at the same level. Now Araki Harima was being pretentious. He denied verbally that he coveted the position of section chief, but in fact he was giving orders to Arikakuma.
……
"It's getting late, I won't bother you anymore." Cheng Qianfan stood up and said, he looked at Araki Harima, "Your Excellency Arai, you may as well get closer to him."
Araki Harima understood what Miyasaki Kentaro meant. He could deeply feel his friend's support, so at this moment he finally stopped pretending and nodded.
"You always have a lot of ideas. What suggestions do you have for the current work of the Special High Police?" Araki Harima suddenly asked.
Cheng Qianfan did not answer immediately. He took a few puffs of his cigarette before saying, "In turbulent times, not making mistakes is a merit."
Araki Harima frowned. According to his idea, it was time to take some action at this moment. It would be best if he could successfully arrest the Military Control Commission and the Red Party and achieve results. At the same time, he could reorganize the Special High Section. This would be a good opportunity to seize power.
However, he carefully considered his friend's words and nodded solemnly, "I will consider it carefully."
……
The night is deep.
Li Hao was driving his car in the early spring night of the 29th year of the Republic of China.
Cheng Qianfan closed his eyes in the back seat and tapped his thighs lightly with his fingers.
He knew Araki Harima's temper very well. After Sanjiro's death, Araki Harima, who was aiming for the position of chief of the Special High Police and also held the power of the Special High Police's operations team, was likely to take the opportunity to cause trouble for various reasons.
This was not good news for the Special Intelligence Department and Sheng Shuyu's troops, who had just completed a series of large-scale operations.
The Special High Police, as the biggest rival of the Military Control Commission, is one of Cheng Qianfan's key targets of prevention.
Therefore, he gave Araki Harima the idea of focusing on stability.
As long as Araki Harima behaves himself during this period, the danger on their side will be reduced accordingly.
"Brother Fan, where are we going now?" Li Hao asked.
"Qiaojia Lane." Cheng Qianfan said lightly.
No. 15 Qiaojia Lane was the safe house he arranged for Song Fuguo and Sheng Shuyu.
……
"What? You ordered Toda Seiichiro's head to be cut off?" Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise.
"Come, come, take a look." Sheng Shuyu opened the wooden box containing Toda Seiichiro's head like he was presenting a treasure and showed it to Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan took a glance and closed the box with disgust.
"Are you planning to take this thing back to Chongqing?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Of course." Sheng Shuyu nodded and said, "It's a rare trip to Shanghai, so I'll bring some local specialties to Boss Dai."
Is this a local specialty of Shanghai?
Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
However, Boss Dai might really like this local specialty.
"Forget it, let's just cut it off." Cheng Qianfan said, "But it's not easy to bring this thing back to Chongqing safely."
It is conceivable that if Seiichiro Toda's head was cut off, it would greatly anger the Japanese, and the Japanese would certainly analyze and judge, and conclude that they must be planning to take Seiichiro Toda's head back to ask for credit. Therefore, it would not be easy to carry such a thing through many checkpoints and return to Chongqing.
"We have the powerful Director Xiao." Sheng Shuyu said, "Don't worry, as long as you help us leave Shanghai, I will take care of the rest."
Cheng Qianfan didn't have time to get angry at Sheng Shuyu's sarcasm. He frowned and thought, "With this extra burden, it will be more troublesome to evacuate Shanghai."
Seeing Sheng Shuyu's expression as if he was leaving everything to him, Cheng Qianfan snorted and was too lazy to bother with this guy.
Moreover, to be honest, although Sheng Shuyu's order to cut off Toda Seiichiro's head was a bit impulsive, it was indeed very satisfying.
……
"From now on, after I leave, I will not come to see you for a short time. In addition, brothers, you must stay in the safe house honestly." Cheng Qianfan looked at Song Fuguo, "Captain Song, I'll leave everything to you."
Compared to Sheng Shuyu, at this moment, Cheng Qianfan would rather trust the experienced, calm and sophisticated Song Fuguo.
"While the success of the operation is certainly gratifying, the following period is the most dangerous." Song Fuguo nodded, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Seeing Cheng Qianfan and Song Fuguo singing the same tune, Sheng Shuyu's face darkened.
What do you mean?
Are you worried about me?
"Now that the matter here is settled, we should call Chongqing." Cheng Qianfan said.
Song Fuguo and Sheng Shuyu both nodded. This Shanghai operation not only uncovered the enemy's long-hidden "ruler", but also achieved such brilliant results. This joint telegram requesting credit and reporting victory was indeed something that needed to be carefully considered.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
……
The next day.
early morning.
Cheng Qianfan got up and got dressed.
Bai Ruolan opened her eyes and gave her husband a charming look.
Last night, Cheng Qianfan was extremely enthusiastic, as if he had endless energy. I don’t know what good news made him so happy.
"Something happened at Qimin Hospital and Pukou Road yesterday. There will probably be a lot of things happening in the French Concession today, so I may be back late tonight." Cheng Qianfan said as he buttoned up his shirt.
"You make it sound like you come home early every day." Bai Ruolan got out of bed, helped her husband tidy up his clothes, and said.
"I'm busy with work." Cheng Qianfan kissed Bai Ruolan on the forehead.
Bai Ruolan hit him lightly, and Cheng Qianfan jumped to avoid it. He then lay on the bed and kissed Xiao Zhima, then left humming a little tune.
After leaving the bedroom, the joy on his face disappeared and his expression became serious.
"Sir, breakfast is ready." said the little maid Li Zi as she prepared breakfast downstairs.
"Madam is a little sleepy, call her to get up later." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said lightly.
"Yes!"
……
"Brother Fan." Li Hao turned around and said to Brother Fan while driving.
"what's up?"
"There was news last night," Li Hao said. "It was said that the Shanghai District assassinated Japanese Lieutenant General Gangcun at Qimin Hospital, killing and wounding countless Japanese soldiers, and achieving significant results."
"Tell me everything?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Yes, it has spread." Li Hao said, "Many citizens know about it and are talking about it excitedly, saying that the Shanghai District is a true hero who fought against the Japanese and killed the devils."
"Haha." Cheng Qianfan sneered, "This Chen Gongshu."
"It was clearly a great feat accomplished by us and our brothers in Zhejiang, but they in Shanghai jumped out to grab the credit." Li Hao said indignantly.
"You." Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, "Do you think Chen Gongshu can take away my credit?"
"Also, do you think it's so easy to take the credit?" Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
After hearing this, Haozi, who was indignant, seemed to be thinking about something.
……
Just at this moment, a car drove past the car, the window rolled down, and someone stuck his head out and waved.
"Brother Fan, it's Zuo Shangmeizu." Li Hao said with a serious face.
"pull over."
"Yes!"
Li Hao parked his car on the side of the road, and the bodyguard vehicle following closely behind also stopped. Several bodyguards ran over with guns, guarding the vehicle and looking around vigilantly.
The car in front also stopped.
A man got out from the passenger seat and walked towards Mr. Cheng's car, but was immediately stopped by the bodyguard.
"Let him come over." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.
The man came to the car and said, "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Zuo has something important to discuss with you."
"Haozi, I'll go over there for a while, you guys drive behind." Cheng Qianfan glanced at the man and said to Haozi.
"Yes, Brother Fan."
……
"Mr. Zuo, what can't be done privately? Why do you have to block us on the road?" Cheng Qianfan said unfriendlyly as he got into the car where Zuo Meijin lived.
"We had to resort to this measure due to the urgency of the situation," said Umezumi Saejo. "I sincerely apologize for causing trouble to Mr. Miyazaki's work."
Since Sasaki Umezumi had sincerely apologized, Cheng Qianfan could only snort coldly and let it go.
"Mr. Zuo Shang, is there something wrong?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a frown.
"Have you heard about the birthday party held at the Urakatsu Hotel last night by General Seiichirō Toda, commander of the Empire's newly formed 5th Reserve Brigade? " asked Umezumi Saeki.
"I've heard about what happened at the Pukou Hotel. The enemy was so bold as to attack the imperial general, especially at such an important moment as the birthday banquet. It's really outrageous." Cheng Qianfan nodded and asked with concern, "Is General Toda okay?"
"Commander Toda unfortunately passed away," said Saegi Umezumi.
"What?" Cheng Qianfan was horrified. "What do General Toda's guards do? These stupid guys should all be sent to a military court!"
"General Toda's guards also died in battle." said Saeki Umezumi.
"What!!!" Cheng Qianfan was stunned, his eyes full of shock and he was speechless.
……
"Mr. Miyazaki, there is one thing you must answer me truthfully." Umezu Sae stared into Kentaro Miyazaki's eyes and said with a serious expression.
"What do you mean?" Cheng Qianfan was stunned at first, then looked at Sasaki Umezu and said with a frown.
"It's just some routine inquiries." Saejo Umezumi explained, "It's about the murder of General Toda. I've been ordered to investigate the case and will be questioning many people. Please don't worry, Miyazaki-kun."
He looked at Miyazaki Kentaro and said, "Miyazaki-kun, have you sent anyone to attend General Toda's birthday party?"
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
Sakami Umezumi frowned slightly. Based on his understanding of Miyazaki Kentaro, it was impossible for this man who was good at socializing not to send someone to attend the birthday party of Brigade Commander Toda.
"The operation at Qimin Hospital took up my energy. Captain Araki asked me to pay more attention to the situation in the French Concession and be ready to catch any escaped members of the Military Control Commission at any time." Cheng Qianfan said, "I was so busy with General Toda's birthday banquet that I almost forgot about it. Later, I remembered that I didn't have time to arrange for anyone to attend the banquet, so I sent my men to deliver the birthday gifts to the general's residence."
"I see." Umezumi Saeaki looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and nodded.
"Last night, there were intense gunfire and explosions on Pukou Road. I was dining with Lieutenant Colonel Heishige at the time, and was quite shocked when I heard the sound of fighting." He frowned and said, "I guessed that the enemy might have attacked the Pukou Hotel, but I never expected that General Toda would be killed."
He looked at Saejo Umezumi with a solemn and puzzled expression, "How could the General..."
Saegi Umezumi sighed and told Miyazaki Kentaro about the situation at the Urakuchi Hotel.
……
"What? General's head was cut off and taken away by the enemy?" Cheng Qianfan asked in shock.
"It's not just the head." Saeki Umezumi's face was gloomy.
"Ok?"
Saejo Umezu lowered his voice and said.
"What?" Cheng Qianfan was so shocked that his butt almost bounced off the seat. His eyes were full of shock and anger. "Is this really true?"
Saegi Umezumi said that the old devil Toda’s head was also cut off and taken away!
Why didn’t I hear Sheng Shuyu mention this matter?
Could it be that Sheng Shuyu embezzled Toda’s small share?
