Chapter 1648 Twenty-one
When the vehicle passed the gate of the Central Army Officers School, Cheng Qianfan lifted the car curtain and his eyes rested on the Japanese soldiers standing guard at the gate with live ammunition.
The plaster flags on the bayonets of Japanese soldiers and the plaque of 'Eastern Area Security Command' looked so glaring.
Now, this place has been occupied by the Japanese army and a sign of "Eastern Area Security Command" has been hung on it. It is the location of the Japanese army's command base in Nanjing.
After passing the Central Military Academy, walk about another six or seven miles and you will arrive near Xinjiekou Square.
Asia Hotel is located near Xinjiekou.
Xinjiekou Square was completed in 1931. It is the first modern square in Nanjing city and has rapidly developed into the commercial and financial center of the capital.
However, Xinjiekou at that time had lost its former prosperity. Although the streets were swept clean and seemed spotless, the Japanese patrol soldiers and Wang Puppet traitors in black leather police uniforms were the dirtiest things in the world. They were glaring at the crowd viciously, causing the citizens to avoid this place as much as possible.
……
As soon as the vehicle stopped in front of the Asia Hotel, a Japanese second lieutenant and two Japanese soldiers came over and asked questions with cold faces.
"Who are you?" The Japanese second lieutenant looked at Cheng Qianfan who got off the car with a bad look.
"I am the assistant secretary of Minister Chu of the Nanjing government's Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "This is my business card. I am here on behalf of Secretary-General Chu to visit Counselor Imamura from Shanghai."
The Japanese second lieutenant took the business card, glanced at it, and then looked at Cheng Qianfan, "Wait."
Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded. He stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked at the surroundings with interest.
When the Japanese soldiers saw his action, they pointed their bayonets at him in a threatening manner. Cheng Qianfan glanced at him and said nothing.
But he was sneering in his heart.
Just from this detail, we can see the status of the puppet regime of the Wang Puppet Regime among these Japanese soldiers. He came as a trusted assistant to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Wang Puppet Regime, but was completely ignored by the Japanese army. Even an ordinary Japanese soldier dared to be rude to him.
Soon, the Japanese second lieutenant came back trotting. He glanced at Cheng Qianfan and his attitude softened a little. "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Imamura wants to see you."
"Thank you." Cheng Qianfan nodded, bowed slightly, carried his briefcase, and followed the Japanese second lieutenant up the stairs and into the hotel.
I ran into Sakamoto Yosano who came out hurriedly to greet me.
……
"Qianfan." Sakamoto Ryano said happily. He happily shook hands with Cheng Qianfan. "When did you come to Nanjing?"
"Sakamoto-kun." Cheng Qianfan was also very happy, "We just arrived in Nanjing this morning."
As he spoke, he spread his hands towards Sakamoto Ryouno, "Look, I learned that you and the teacher were also in Nanjing, so I hurried over here."
"Mr. Sano, I will take Mr. Cheng in. You can go and do your own thing." Sakamoto Ryouno glanced at the Japanese second lieutenant and said.
"Hai." Sano Yuto bowed slightly. He glanced at Cheng Qianfan, nodded slightly, and then left.
"Let's go, Uncle Imamura is handling official business, you can go to my room and sit for a while." Sakamoto Ryouno said.
……
No. 21 Yihe Road.
The Nanjing District headquarters of the secret service.
This place is adjacent to the Japanese Nanjing Military Police Headquarters. It was the Japanese who suggested setting up the Nanjing District here because it would be very convenient for both sides to cooperate if any activities took place.
The external name of the Nanjing District of the Special Agent Headquarters was "The Nanjing Gendarmerie Special Agent Squad of the Great Japanese Locust Army."
However, the area of No. 21 Yihe Road is not large. After the Nanjing branch of the Secret Service Headquarters opened, the house at No. 21 was soon insufficient.
As a result, the Nanjing district built many houses in the backyard.
Later, in order to facilitate vehicle entry and exit and security, the main gate was simply opened at No. 8 Lingyin Road where the back door was located, and the main gate at No. 21 Yihe Road became the back door.
……
Dong Zhengguo was sitting in the reception room at No. 21 Yihe Road at this moment. His eyes were gloomy and he was very anxious.
He was waiting to be received by Su Chende, and he was now worried about his old boss's attitude towards himself.
That very morning, he called No. 21 Yihe Road and requested to meet Su Chende, but was told that District Chief Su had no time to see him.
After learning about this situation, Dong Zhengguo became restless.
It was his wife Feng Man who saw him sighing and accompanied him to think of a solution. Finally, after much thought, she came up with a strategy of "saving the country in a roundabout way".
Feng Man and Commander Su's concubine Han Yishuang had previously gotten along well.
So Feng Man went to the Su Mansion alone to visit Aunt Han in advance and ask Han Yishuang to help plead for him.
The wife's strategy was very effective.
Sure enough, at noon, his wife came back from the Su Mansion looking tired, and a call came from No. 21 Yihe Road to the hotel, saying that the district director had returned and had time to see him.
……
"The telegram isn't very clear." Su Chende's face was gloomy. He looked at Dong Zhengguo and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Dong Zhengguo reported to Su Chende in detail that Yuan Ziren contacted him after arriving in Shanghai, and he secretly placed Yuan Ziren and the Red Party prisoners on Mailai Road. When Mailai Road was attacked by the Red Party, Yuan Ziren and others were killed, and the Red Party prisoners were rescued.
"How did the Red Party know that Yuan Ziren had arrived in Shanghai?" Su Chende frowned, "And how did they know that he was on Miles Ai Road?"
Dong Zhengguo looked embarrassed. He couldn't answer either of Su Chende's questions.
"Tell me about it." Su Chende snorted coldly, "It's your responsibility. I have my own punishment. The most important thing now is to find out the shortcomings and make up for them. Do you understand?"
Dong Zhengguo felt relieved when he heard Su Chende's words. Although the old commander also mentioned punishment, he knew that he was actually preparing to raise the board high and then drop it gently.
Dong Zhengguo couldn't help but secretly admire his wife's strategy of "saving the country in a roundabout way" by taking the wife route, which was really useful.
……
"Section Chief Yuan's trip to Shanghai was a secret act," Dong Zhengguo said thoughtfully. "As for how the enemy knew they were in Shanghai, there are two possibilities for intelligence leaks."
"One was leaked in Nanjing."
"Another thing is that the news leaked out in Shanghai."
"Go on." Su Chende stood up, supported his sore back, and nodded slightly.
"How did the enemy know that the Red Party was secretly detained on Meierxiai Road?" Dong Zhengguo said, "The information leak here could only have happened in Shanghai."
"You didn't evade responsibility and were quite objective." Su Chende glanced at Dong Zhengguo and said.
As he spoke, Su Chende twisted his waist and cried out in pain.
"Commander Su, what's wrong?" Dong Zhengguo asked with concern.
"The doctor said I was overworked and needed to take care of myself." Su Chende looked at Dong Zhengguo deeply, then waved his hand, "I'm fine, go on."
