"Plans?" Shirakawa Eiji made a downward chopping motion with one hand, his tone full of killing intent. "If you can't get it at the negotiating table, then you'll take it with your sword and gun."
Miura Yoshiaki's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Shirakawa Eiei with surprise, momentarily speechless!
Hirayama Tokumoto and Miyata Yasutoshi returned to the Miyata Trading Company. Miyata Yasutoshi said somewhat guiltily, "Hirayama-kun, the Fujiwara Company will not let this go easily. They have powerful backing, and we are afraid we will suffer losses."
Hirayama Tokumoto's face was somewhat pale. He said coldly, "The Fujiwara Company is too domineering. They don't even leave us a way to make money. Fortunately, this is not Shanghai. The emperor is far away, and we still have room to fight back. I will go and visit Brigade Commander Kurihara now. As for you, be careful when you go out these days. They don't dare to deal with me, but they have no scruples about you. In their anger, they may very well take action against you."
Upon hearing this, Miyata Yasuhisa was startled and quickly nodded in agreement.
In the office of Nanwu Bookstore in downtown Shanghai, He Siming was reporting important information he had just received to Ning Zhiheng.
"It seems that Tsuchihara Keiji is also having a hard time. His base in Shanghai is unstable. No wonder he has been trying to get me to take over as the head of the agency several times. He knows that his identity may not be able to keep things under control," Ning Zhiheng said with some realization.
He really didn't want to deal with Tsuchihara Keiji. That old guy was too shrewd. If he got entangled with him, he would soon discover the relationship between the Fujiwara Company and the Kuomintang. He wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.
He Siming said, "It's best not to come back. Without Tsuchihara Keiji, his student Eguchi Ryusei will have no one to rely on. I always feel that this person is very dangerous. I hope he doesn't ruin things in the future."
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid of him. As long as you act cautiously and don't get caught red-handed, with your background, he can't do anything to you. Judging from the current situation, Tsuchihara Keiji's departure is beneficial to us. Also, the matter you mentioned about Tsuchihara Keiji going to North China to persuade Wu Peide to defect is very important. I must immediately notify headquarters and have them send someone to Beiping to work on Wu Peide. We must not let Tsuchihara Keiji succeed."
After discussing it for a while, Ning Zhiheng gave He Siming a few more instructions before they went their separate ways.
That very evening, a telegram was sent to Chongqing, and the message was quickly forwarded to the Director.
Wei Liangbi, who had been promoted to colonel, stood before the bureau chief, respectfully awaiting his instructions.
"Liangbi, the intelligence capabilities of the Intelligence Section are becoming increasingly outstanding. Before the head of the Japanese Special Higher Police, Keiji Tsuchihara, had even left Shanghai, you had already ascertained his mission to North China. I am very satisfied with such work efficiency!" The Director said with a smile, carefully reviewing the telegram in his hand once more.
He then read: "The Japanese Special Higher Police are currently preparing to establish a telecommunications team and have suggested that the Shanghai station and relevant departments reduce the number of times they send telegrams in the city."
He looked up as he read this, then asked, "Does the Intelligence Section have high-ranking moles in the Special Higher Police?"
Wei Liangbi had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply, "Director, the work of the intelligence section has always been personally handled by Zhiheng, so I really don't know the specifics."
The director laughed and waved to Wei Liangbi, saying, "I know, I know. Zhiheng's work is getting better and better. In terms of intelligence capabilities, he is unmatched in our Military Intelligence Bureau. You brothers are rare talents. The youngest colonel and section chief in our Military Intelligence Bureau is quite a story."
"You flatter me, Director. It's all thanks to your guidance that we brothers would have had this opportunity," Wei Liangbi said modestly.
The director couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. It was a pity that such a talented person was not one of his own. He put down the telegram in his hand and then instructed, "I will report Wu Peide's matter to the Chairman immediately and send a capable commissioner to handle it. You should focus your energy on military intelligence. The Japanese army has already captured Nanchang, and Changsha has become the front line of the war. The Japanese are getting closer and closer to us. You should send a telegram back to Zhiheng and tell him to try his best to collect military intelligence on the Japanese Central China Area Army. The General Headquarters urgently needs such intelligence."
"Yes, I will relay the message immediately!" Wei Liangbi nodded in agreement.
