Chapter 222 Dingcun's Concerns
"What's the matter? Mr. Kuroda, do you think there's a problem with this arrangement?" Li Xianshu folded her hands and held her chin up to look at Kuroda Yusuke.
Kuroda Yusuke quickly shook his head and said, "Special Assistant Chen has never done these things. I'm worried that he doesn't know the depth of the situation and will be tricked by Sir Lehman."
Li Xianshu said calmly: "I'm not worried about this. This little rascal is not so easy to be fooled."
"Besides, didn't He Yuehua report his recent work? He has been studying Sir Lehman all along."
"Given his character and intelligence, I believe it will be difficult for Sir Lehman to gain any advantage."
Yusuke Kuroda sighed. Although he didn't like Chen Yang, he couldn't deny his wife's judgment.
Chen Yang does have extraordinary communication skills and is very efficient in his work.
Apart from being a little greedy for money, there seems to be no other shortcomings.
"Dong dong dong." A burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and Li Xianshu's assistant Matsushima Hisao rushed in.
"Madam, something serious has happened. There was a premeditated explosion at the Shanghai Municipal Government."
"Mayor Zuo Liangyuan was killed in the explosion, and Zhejiang Provincial Governor-General and Deputy Mayor Zhang Xiaolin was seriously injured..."
"what..."
No. 76, Jessfield Road, Shanghai.
In December of the 27th year of the Republic of China, the all-out war of resistance had lasted for more than a year. Almost two-thirds of China's territory fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders. The war spread across the country, and the atmosphere was gloomy everywhere.
Only the International Settlement in Shanghai remained above the war thanks to the influence of the British and French.
The two major spy agencies within the Nationalist government, the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation, had a large number of agents lurking here.
While collecting various intelligence, they also assassinated traitors and Japanese according to the instructions of their superiors, posing a great threat to the pro-Japanese factions in Shanghai.
Although the Japanese Special High Section was well-known in Shanghai, 99% of its members were Japanese, so they were almost useless against local intelligence agencies.
It was because of this that Major General Masaaki Kagesa of the Japanese intelligence department noticed the need to create a more targeted and perfect intelligence agency, the Ume Agency, that he repeatedly suggested to the headquarters.
The predecessor of the Mei Agency was the Chinese Affairs Section lurking inside the consulates in major cities.
In August of the 27th year of the Republic of China, after many discussions, the headquarters finally agreed to Kagesa Masaaki's request and reorganized the Chinese Affairs Section in China into a new intelligence agency.
However, this decision has a prerequisite, that is, this agency can indeed restrain China's local intelligence agencies.
After receiving the order, Yingza Masaaki studied the various characteristics of China's intelligence agencies and realized that it would be easy for the Japanese to expose themselves when conducting espionage work in China. Therefore, he thought of creating a spy organization similar to the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics and the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.
At this time, Ding Cun, Li Qun and others rebelled and took the initiative to present a "Shanghai Agent Plan".
After reading this information, Kagesa Masaaki was extremely delighted and immediately sent it back to his home country. After discussion, the local side felt that this plan was very feasible.
Soon, the Japanese headquarters issued an "order to assist the Dingcun group of spies in their work."
Under the instigation of the Japanese, Ding Cun and Li Qun established a special agent organization with their headquarters at No. 625 Daxi Road in Shanghai.
Later, because it was inconvenient to carry out activities here, the address was changed to No. 76 Jisifei Road. The residence of Chen Tiaoyuan, the former chairman of the Anhui Province, was used as a venue for spy activities.
After the establishment of No. 76, due to lack of manpower, Li Qun once tried to establish a relationship with the Green Gang leader Du Yuesheng.
However, Du Yuesheng scoffed at this and strictly ordered his disciples not to associate with Li Qun, Ding Cun and others.
For this reason, he even boasted that he dared to do all kinds of heinous things, including murder, arson, and opium smuggling, but he would never dare to be a traitor.
When Li Qun found out, he was so angry that his nose was crooked, but there was nothing he could do.
The Shanghai Stock Market is now ruled by the Green Gang. They have their own set of codes of conduct, and Du Yuesheng is the king of this underground kingdom.
In order to solve the manpower problem, Li Qun won over another Qing Gang leader, Ji Yunqing, a senior member of the Qing Gang.
Ji Yunqing did not have the same awareness as Du Yuesheng, and he already had a good relationship with Li Qun. When Li Qun and Ding Cun killed Shi Jisheng, the chief of the Shanghai Station of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and fled, it was Ji Yunqing who took him in.
The two hit it off immediately, so Ji Yunqing's disciples also joined No. 76.
With just a villa, some funds and a few guns, the most notorious and feared spy agency in Chinese history was opened.
No. 76 is directly commanded by Ding Cun and Li Qun, with Ding Cun as director and Li Qun as deputy director.
Inside No. 76, there are types of inhumane torture, such as hanging and beating, sitting on the tiger bench, pouring hot pepper water, electric shock, piercing fingers with steel needles, etc. There are also sky dungeons, underground dungeons and water dungeons.
At the same time, in order to create a terrifying atmosphere in society, No. 76 hung bloody human heads under street lights, threw severed hands and feet into people's houses, stuck daggers in people's doors, sent bullets and threatening letters, and even stalked and kidnapped hostages...
For a while, No. 76 became the "devil's den" that everyone in Shanghai was afraid of.
Of course, this happened later, and at the moment, No. 76 is still not well-known.
Their daily work was to collect intelligence for the Japanese, while the Green Gang disciples under them would take advantage of the situation to make a living.
"The people down there are running like crazy, but we can't find any trace of the person at all, and we can't even figure out where he came from. What do you think we should do?" Ding Mocun touched the walking stick that he almost never let go of, with a heavy look on his face.
"In my opinion, they should be veterans of the Military Control Commission. Judging from their behavior and methods, I thought of a person." Li Qun touched his chin and said hesitantly, "Chen Gongshu."
"You mean, the station chief of the Military Control Commission's Peking Station? He was actually transferred to Shanghai?" Ding Cun seemed a little unbelievable.
Although Ding Cun was a member of the Central Bureau of Investigation, he was also the director of the Third Division of the Party Affairs Investigation Section. Naturally, he knew all the outstanding figures in the secret service.
Chen Gongshu is the captain of the training brigade of the Fuxing Society and one of the four great generals under Boss Dai.
However, since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Gongshu was sent to Peiping by Boss Dai to serve as the stationmaster of Peiping Station.
Everything was fine, why did you suddenly come to the Shanghai Stock Exchange?
"I have been in the Military Control Commission for so many years, and I know very well what methods those people are good at."
"Chen Gongshu likes to send bombs to people. If his men hadn't started the car in advance during the assassination attempt on Wang Keming in Peking, Wang Keming would have been reduced to ashes by now."
Ding Cun frowned even more when he heard this. Chen Gongshu was well-known and not someone that ordinary people could deal with.
No. 76 had just opened, and he had to face such an opponent. For a moment, Dingcun didn't know whether he was unlucky or unlucky...
"Director Ding, Director Ding." Fan Youfu, the eldest disciple under Ji Yunqing, ran in shouting.
"Oh no, Tan Shaojun is dead."
