Chapter 834 Risky chess
It was the third day after the Expeditionary Force Command issued the anti-counterrevolutionary plan.
"Boss, give me a pack of Camel cigarettes." Zhong Xigong parked the car in front of a cigarette stand not far from the office of the Chinese Special Affairs Investigation Team and casually said to the boss.
"Hey, Madam, you haven't come to buy cigarettes for some time." The boss still recognized Zhong Xigong.
After all, as long as you are doing business seriously, you will treat a generous customer like this as a guest of honor.
"Please give me another box of matches. The fire is used up," Zhong Xigong threw an empty matchbox to the side of the stall.
The entire expeditionary force's top brass knew that Gong Zhongxi would never use kerosene lighters because he disliked the smell of that thing.
The boss was not surprised and immediately took out a box of matches with a beautiful woman printed on it.
Zhong Xigong took out a cigarette, lit a match, and took a deep puff. After paying the boss for the cigarette, he got into his car comfortably.
However, he did not leave immediately. From the rearview mirror, he could vaguely see two furtive figures.
"Sure enough," Zhong Xigong blew out a smoke ring and had a clue in his mind.
"We've been following them from morning till now. These two are quite professional." Although the other party concealed it very well, just like a pedestrian on the side of the road, inconspicuous.
But in front of the professional intelligence expert, it is impossible to avoid his gaze.
He quickly finished a cigarette, rolled down the window, threw the cigarette butt out of the window, then smiled meaningfully at the cigarette stand owner, then stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
He was now very sure that the two people following him would only do two things.
First, pick up the cigarette butt he threw away and the matchbox without matches, and examine whether there is anything on them.
Second, arrest the owner of the cigarette stand.
He is very familiar with several major intelligence agencies in Shanghai, and the Huaxia Special Affairs Class is the highest-level among them.
The targets of their surveillance were high-ranking officials of the National Government’s army and the Wang Puppet Government.
Although he couldn't tell where the few minions following behind him came from, based on his understanding of the major intelligence agencies, this style of behavior was not like that of the Mei Agency and No. 76.
As for the Manchurian Railway, although they are also a professional intelligence agency, they focus on the business aspect and rarely interfere in general military affairs.
Therefore, there is only one organization left, the Special High Section under the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters.
It seems that Fujino Hirofumi has not given up on identifying them, however, the people in the Special High Police don't seem to have made much progress and they still only have these two tricks.
It’s not that Zhong Xigong looks down on the people from the Special High Police, but that the way they do things has not changed much over time.
When it comes to tracking and stalking, he is an expert in intelligence work. Do you really think you can catch him by sending out a few small fry?
"Puh." After spitting out of the window, Zhong Xigong just turned his head and subconsciously stepped on the brakes.
I saw a black car rushing out from the diagonal alley and almost hitting it.
"Minister Chen?" The driver of the other car rolled down the window, revealing a familiar face.
"Hey, Director Zhongxi, where are you going in such a hurry?" Chen Yang greeted with a smile.
Zhong Xigong’s impression of Chen Yang can’t be said to be good, nor can it be said to be bad.
Minister Chen is quite capable and he has made all the members of the expeditionary force obey him.
Commander Nishio even listed him as one of his confidants.
It is simply unbelievable that a Chinese could be trusted by the commander of the expeditionary force.
Of course, although Zhong Xigong didn't like Chen Yang's Yue Takisa, he also admired Chen Yang's abilities.
The military tried several times to take away the transportation routes from him and have someone else control the huge network in his hands, but they failed without exception.
It seemed that no one in the whole of China could control this huge network except him. Even General Tu Feiyuan, who returned to his homeland, did not dare to have such an idea.
Zhong Xigong looked at Chen Yang and said, "Minister Chen, I wasn't driving very fast just now. But you, didn't you check the road conditions when you turned from the side road to the main road?"
Chen Yang was slightly stunned, and said to the driver Takata Jun's son: "Takata-kun, why don't you apologize to General Nakanishi?"
"How do you drive?"
Takada Jun's reply was hasty: "General Nakanishi, I'm sorry, but the Minister has important matters to attend to at the Expeditionary Force Headquarters. I came in through the side road in a hurry."
"Don't mind it."
Zhong Xigong teased: "I don't mind, but Minister Chen is an important official of the empire. Takada-kun, you should drive carefully. If you get scratched, even if I kill you, it won't be enough to compensate you."
"Director Nakanishi seems to have made Mr. Chen too important." Chen Yang smiled and said, "I am not as good as Director Nakanishi. Mr. Takada, let's go quickly. The issue of supplies is urgent. Mr. Sato is still waiting for us in the logistics department."
"Director Nakanishi, please come to Tsukitasa for a drink someday when you have time."
"Let's talk about it when we have time." Zhong Xigong neither agreed nor objected, but just gave an ambiguous answer casually.
Chen Yang didn't say anything else. He rolled up the window and ordered Takada Junxiao to drive.
Looking at the other vehicle going away, Zhong Xigong frowned subconsciously.
"Strange, why does the car of the Minister of Joint Transport appear here?" Nakanishi Gong was originally the personal secretary of Commander Nishio of the Expeditionary Force Headquarters. It seemed that Chen Yang should not go this way if he wanted to go to the Logistics Department of the Expeditionary Force.
What's even more strange is that he was going to the Logistics Department to urge for supplies. Shouldn't the supplies for the expeditionary force be allocated to the Transportation Department before the mission is issued?
Moreover, this anti-counterrevolutionary and clean-up mission had been issued to divisions at all levels two days ago, and tens of thousands of troops had already begun to be mobilized.
The supplies haven't arrived yet. Is there something wrong with this operation?
Subconsciously, he felt that it was unlikely. This was a troop mobilization of tens of thousands of people. How could such a large-scale operation be fake?
But Chen Yang's expression didn't seem fake, and there was no need for him to lie to himself.
As we all know, although Minister Chen is also on the intelligence front line, he is not a professional intelligence officer, so he just said that the mobilization of materials is urgent, as if he blurted it out, wanting Takata Junxiao to drive faster.
If Chen Yang was not lying, then there was something wrong with this operation.
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Zhong Xigong's forehead. What if this was a fake operation? The plan he sent out might be a trap.
Fujino Hirobumi is really too bold, he is making a risky move.
The purpose of this operation was not to take the initiative, but to mobilize bases in various places through the intelligence transmitted by themselves.
They took the initiative based on the deployment situation, so there were no spies hidden in the top leadership of the Red Party.
They are using their own intelligence as bait...
I took a day off yesterday and I feel like I have recovered enough. Now I will start writing two chapters a day steadily....
