Chapter 4 Undercurrents Chapter 4: Tooth for Teeth

The water and rain wet the yellow cattle on both sides of the shore... Various types of umbrellas form beautiful scenery on the streets. Huge fluorescent red lights on both sides of the road flash in the drizzle, and cheerful music spreads with the wind. Pedestrians on the streets are in a hurry, and occasionally a car drives by quickly with splashing water droplets.

The night became thicker and the streets were sparsely crowded. The high-end dance hall on Jing'an Temple Road was still noisy. More than a dozen rickshaws were quietly waiting for the dance to end on the side of Paramount.

Two black cars turned out from the end of the street. The car stopped steadily in front of the Paramount gate. Six big men in black suits got out of the car behind. They quickly surrounded the car in front and looked around, then opened the door of the car and got two middle-aged men from inside.

The two of them walked towards the gate without much humility. At this moment, the crisp sound of gunfire pierced the night sky, and the person walking in front was stunned, and two blood flowers burst out from their backs, and then they leaned over and pounced on the ground.

The middle-aged man behind was quickly rushed to the bodyguard. The other five bodyguards immediately drew their guns and looked across the street. Two highlights flashed from the building opposite. After two crisp gunshots, the two bodyguards fell down.

"Bao, sbang." Four pistols shot at the opposite building at the same time, and the bullets hit the wall. There was a puff sound. Two people stood up among the rickshaw drivers on one side, two submachine guns sprayed out a series of death flames, and three bodyguards fell down. The remaining bodyguards protected the middle-aged man and fled into the door. He stood up, and Li Xuan was hit by the bullets shot from the opposite side. A man in a windbreaker came out of the door and shot two shots at the middle-aged man.

The gunshot stopped, and the two cars quickly came over. The rickshaw driver and windbreaker got on the car immediately. The car started immediately and disappeared in the vast spring rain.

Almost at the same time, the Naval Club in Hongkou District, Kuaiqi Qingyin, the head of the Shanghai Special High School Division and two naval intelligence officers, got on the car and drove towards Chongguangtang under the escort of two motorcycles.

Recently, the Military Control Commission and Li Shiqun and Ding Moyou's agent headquarters have fought very hard. Both sides have used bloody means, assassination and strong attacks, and the concession has been emerging one after another. The concession is very chaotic. The government's important personnel at all levels, including the Japanese, have strengthened their security.

The car stopped shortly after walking far. A car was parked on the road, and the lights broke the silence of the night. Two Japanese ronin beat a rickshaw driver in front of the headlights, and the rickshaw fell aside.

This year, the young man stood beside the car and was struck by the birds, making the two ronin even more fierce.

Qingqi frowned slightly. This kind of thing is very common in Shanghai at present. The Japanese think they are conquerors, and they punch and kick the Chinese if they are not careful. They are very arrogant. The officers in the car seem to be familiar with each other and sit there indifferently. They have no intention of interfering.

Several Chinese people were timid in the distance and did not dare to go up and say a small letter. They guessed around and felt something was wrong. It was too quiet here. He really wanted to urge the driver to leave quickly. A car drove out of the alley next to it, suddenly increased the accelerator and rushed straight into the Qingqi car.

"Be careful!" The soldier on the motorcycle behind shouted. Before he could draw his gun, the Chinese who was timid in the distance suddenly opened fire. The young man next to the car turned around and two thug guns appeared in his hand. The beating ronin and the beaten rickshaw driver also turned around, and the weapons in his hand opened fire at the same time.

In an instant, gunfire sounds on the street, and the car was hit hard by the pissed car. There was a large piece of it in the car's door. Before the people in the car could draw their guns, they jumped off two people from the car. Two submachine guns fired violently at the car, and then threw a grenade into the car. The explosion sounded throughout the street, and the wreckage splashed everywhere.

The two Japanese who witnessed this scene were so scared that they threw away the umbrella in their hands and turned around and ran away. The attacker ignored them. The young man in charge threw down a note, jumped into two cars, and left calmly.

Five minutes later, a large number of Japanese military police arrived. The entire area was immediately blocked, but the attackers turned into water droplets and poured into the Huangpu River, leaving only the note at the scene:

"We will fulfill our words!"

The music in Mengfei Cafe is still light. In the private room next to the office, the atmosphere is very relaxed.

"It's so beautiful." Osawa Magoro raised his wine glass to Luo Wending with a smile, and the red liquid was like flowing blood: "I didn't expect that they were so bold that they dared to attack Haruki outside the Navy Club. If I weren't going to do such a plan."

"They are all veterans." Luo Wending said with a smile, but what he was more worried about was Ozawa:

"Does it affect you? It's best to stop meeting you soon."

Haruki's whereabouts were provided by Ozawa. After he was assassinated, the Japanese intelligence agencies will definitely conduct internal investigations, and Ozawa's situation will become difficult.

"The impact is not big." Ozawa said confidently: "This time the best thing is to kill Nagano Ten, the Shanghai Special High School Course, together, so the scope of the investigation is very large because they don't know who they are targeting. Ye Yao's relationship with the Military Control Commission was very tense, and the Military Control Commission had long threatened to kill him. Ozawa spread his hands and showed a funny smile on his face. After thinking about it, Luo Wending also showed a smile. The special forces came to Shanghai to carry out the mission. He did not deal with the Military Control Commission, but he directly provided support. Although this violated their order to not participate in any action, Luo Wending was confident that he was controlled within the minimum range.

"This is the information from the military and the navy after Hirama Hachiichiro came to power." Ozawa handed two notes to Luo Wending: "The debate in Japan is very fierce. The war in Yucheng was so beautiful that it completely fooled the guys in the military. They are now in a difficult situation. The gentleman is right. As long as China persists, he will definitely defeat the Japanese. "The guard issued a statement and stepped down. What will Hirama do? Or do you follow his statement?" Luo Wending asked.

Konoe Fun made a statement before stepping down. In this statement, Konoe maintained his toughness and expressed his willingness to give up punishing China. He asked China to recognize Manchu State, but he also revealed that he hoped to cooperate with knowledgeable people in China to jointly build a New East Asian order.

This statement was ridiculed by Western journalists. Western comments raised peace talks under this circumstance, which is undoubtedly a signal that Japan can no longer hold on.

Eugen, a reporter from Damei Evening News, analyzed Japan's fiscal revenue in the past two years and their investment in military expenditure, believing that Japan's finances have been overwhelmed. International oil prices, rubber prices, and iron ore prices have soared in the past six months. Compared with the rise in prices in 1937, this is another heavy blow to Japan. Japan's foreign exchange reserves have been drastically reduced. After the United States announced that foreign trade settlement must be settled in gold or US dollars, Japan's economy has made up the worst, and the only thing that has been a little rapid foreign exchange.

On the contrary, China has rarely imported, and major mineral products can be found at home and has already imposed an arms embargo on China internationally. Therefore, China's economic pressure is not as great as Japan. Moreover, due to the implementation of inflation policies and abundant credit funds, factories moved to the southwest have achieved great development, and the economy has developed rapidly under the stimulation of war.

"If the war is fought a few more times, the Japanese will take off their crotch cloth and sell it to the United States. No, I'm afraid there will be no crotch cloth." Eugen laughed.

"The Guard left a mess, and Hiranuma has no good idea." Ozawa tried hard to suppress his excitement: "Recently, the cabinet passed the Outline for Expanding Productivity. To expand production, most of the fiscal revenue should be used for military operations, and there is too little that can be used for the economy."

"In addition, the Army and the Navy have a debate on the Three Kingdoms Alliance. The Army strongly demands the establishment of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. The Navy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs firmly oppose it. I don't think this cabinet can be the leader."

These intelligence should be considered strategic intelligence and is related to the Chinese battlefield, but the relationship is relatively far-reaching, so Luo Wending is more concerned about the situation of the Chinese dispatched troops.

"What are the trends in Nanjing?"

"Not yet, but according to the Japanese customs, there will be criticisms of officers who will be punished if they are defeated. However, this time it is strange that no one is punished, neither the North China Front Army nor the Chinese Expeditionary Army." Osawa frowned and said, "I don't know if the turmoil in the domestic political situation affected the military."

"It shouldn't be that the Japanese military is a relatively powerful department with great power. It can influence the cabinet, but it is difficult for the cabinet to affect him." Luo Wending shook his head and said, this was indeed a strange sign. But it was not a big deal.

"Did you notice that some time ago, before the Guard stepped down, a bill to expand the military service. The length of military service was extended to 16 to 40 years old. I guess they were going to increase their troops." Ozawa frowned deeply, with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's wrong? Have you noticed anything?" Luo Wending immediately discovered his abnormality.

"It's nothing, it's just a little strange." Osawa shook his head and said, "In those years, I ran between Japan and North Korea. I was confident that I knew a lot about Japan. I always thought that Japan was a very developed country and the Japanese army was very powerful. But I didn't expect that it was only two years. The fatigue was as if I couldn't hold on. It was really unbelievable."

"This is nothing. In a few years, you will see the Japanese digging wild vegetables up the mountain." Luo Wending's tone was teasing, but there was no hint of joy on his face. Japan was in trouble.

The plunder of China will inevitably be strengthened, and the people in the occupied areas will suffer even more.

"Where is their next goal? Have you gone back directly?" After this action, Osawa became more interested in participating in the direct action.

"I don't know." Luo Wending turned out the window. The drizzle became denser. He didn't say that Guo Yaoshi revealed in his words that the next self-proclaimed person was in Nanjing. He was also very interested in this goal, and he didn't know if it was Yan Junliu.
