  Cheng Qianfan's heart was filled with joy, he never expected to hear the news about Masao Nishida from Hyotaro Imamura.

  According to what Hetaro Imamura said, Masao Nishida was appointed by the headquarters of the "Empire" to come to Shanghai to serve as the head of the general affairs squad of the Shanghai Dispatched Army's Secret Service Department, and to coordinate and manage the work of the Shanghai secret service agencies.

   "Sir." Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise, "Iwai Mansion is also under the leadership of the imperial military?"

   As he spoke, he casually picked up the thermos bottle to refill Imamura Hyoutaro's teacup, and removed the other teacup and placed it on the table at the door.

   "That's not the case." Imamura Heutaro shook his head. The Iwai Mansion, which is under construction, is under the sole leadership of Consul General Eiichi Iwai, not a military secret service.

   "However, the current situation is special." Heitaro Imamura said after a moment of contemplation, "General Nishida's current position is only a temporary position, and he is coordinating and leading various agencies in Shanghai. We will inevitably be under his jurisdiction and influence."

Saying that, Imamura Heutaro looked at Cheng Qianfan, "It is inevitable that the empire will occupy Shanghai. At that time, the concession will become a hiding place for anti-Japanese forces in Shanghai. General Masao Nishida's goal is to strengthen the control of the concession and minimize the anti-Japanese forces in Shanghai. The sphere of action of the power is finally completely cleared."

   "Shanghai is the largest city in the Far East, and occupying Shanghai is only the first step." Heitaro Imamura looked at Kentaro Miyazaki who listened to his "lecture" respectfully, and felt very relieved.

   "Miyazaki-kun, tell me what you think of Shanghai." Heitaro Imamura suddenly asked a question.

"Shanghai is the economic center of China and the largest city in the Far East." Cheng Qianfan said while thinking, "There are many great powers in Shanghai. In addition to our Great Japanese Empire, the British, French, Americans, Soviet Russia, Germany, and even It is the Netherlands, Italy, etc. that all have interests in Shanghai.”

Cheng Qianfan paused for a moment, thinking, "The empire has occupied major cities in China, including Beiping and Tianjin, but Shanghai is a more special city. The empire not only wants to occupy Shanghai, but also to stabilize the situation in Shanghai, so that The largest city in the Far East shines brightly in the hands of the empire."

   "Anything else?" Heutaro Imamura nodded approvingly and asked.

   "What's more, show the majesty of the Great Japanese Empire to Britain, the United States, France and other European and American powers!" Cheng Qianfan said, gritting his teeth lightly, with a bit of fanaticism in his serious expression.

   "Exactly." Imamura Heutaro clapped his hands and laughed.

Miyazaki Kentaro is a smart young man. However, being smart is smart. Previously, his vision and knowledge were limited, and his analysis and treatment of problems were relatively limited. Now, his hard work teaching Miyazaki Kentaro is not in vain. This young man has made great progress progress.

  This sense of accomplishment in cultivating the young people he is optimistic about to make progress made Imamura Heutaro very gratified and happy.

  Although Imamura Heutaro didn't express it explicitly, Cheng Qianfan understood the hidden meaning revealed in the words.

  Masao Nishida wanted to extend the tentacles of the Japanese secret service to every corner of the concession, control the concession, and strangle the anti-Japanese forces who used the concession as their hiding place and activity base.

  In this process, no matter which party it is, as long as it can help General Nishida to complete the initial goal of controlling the concession, it will be recognized and favored by General Nishida Masao, the entire Shanghai Dispatch Army, and even the military headquarters and headquarters.

  Hintaro Imamura, no, to be precise, Eiichi Iwai, who is behind Heutaro Imamura, extended to the "Iwai Mansion" which he is preparing, and wants to take this opportunity to show his strength and performance.

  Or, to put it more bluntly, this is an opportunity to show your face in front of the Shanghai Dispatched Army, the Military Headquarters, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the headquarters, and even the cabinet.

   In view of the special status of "Miyazaki Kentaro", his power and potential influence in the French Concession, Cheng Qianfan can play a very ingenious and important role in Japan's plan to control the concession.

   "Sanben-kun may not be able to speak directly to you due to some considerations." Imamura Heitaro's face was the teacher's admiring smile of the students, "This is your opportunity, Miyazaki-kun, take it well."

  Cheng Qianfan also immediately understood the potential meaning of this sentence:

  Jiro Sanben doesn't pay enough attention and honesty to you.

  I value you very much and appreciate you, so there is nothing unspeakable.

  This is your chance to show your face in front of the important generals of the empire, and even the high-level officials of the empire. It is an opportunity for me to guide you and give you the opportunity. Then, you must understand your position!

Cheng Qianfan was grateful, and bowed respectfully to Imamura Heitaro, "Mr. Miyazaki's teachings and love for Miyazaki are deeply felt by Miyazaki. The sun of the empire will never set. Qi Qi made an oath long ago, to follow Mr. in this life, and to follow his example."

  This is a bit nasty, Imamura Heutaro said inwardly.

  However, he really liked it and was very satisfied.

  …

  Leaving Imamura Mansion, Cheng Qianfan walked a certain distance with an umbrella.

   After confirming that no one was following him, he turned back more than a hundred steps, entered an alley, and walked out from a small path in the middle of the alley.

  He looked around and walked towards a car parked on the side of the road.

  Cheng Qianfan was about to knock on the car window.

  The window glass was rolled down.

   "Brother Fan." Li Hao said.

   "Not bad." Cheng Qianfan smiled, "Be vigilant enough."

  Cheng Qianfan got on the back seat, saw the fried steamed buns on the seat, picked one up with his hands, stuffed it into his mouth, and nodded in satisfaction.

   Turning his head to see Brother Fan eating happily, Li Hao grinned, "Brother Fan, where are you going? Back to Yandeli?"

   "Go back to your house." Cheng Qianfan said, "Drive the car over there, and lend me your foreign car."

   "Understood." Hearing this, Li Hao knew that Brother Fan still had important things to do, so he stopped talking and started the car directly.

  Cheng Qianfan was thinking about something while eating raw fried steamed buns.

  When he first arrived at Heutaro Imamura's house, who was that short, fat man in his fifties who came down from upstairs?

  He had never seen this person in Imamura Heutaro's house before.

  First of all, Hyoutaro Imamura met with this person in the study, and Hyoutaro Imamura went downstairs and sent this person away in person. This is enough to show that Hyoutaro Imamura attaches great importance to this person:

  Whether it is because this person is a close and confidant of Imamura Heutaro, or because of this person's identity and status that makes Imamura close to him, it shows that this person is not simple.

  Besides, in Imamura Heutaro's study, Cheng Qianfan picked up the thermos bottle to refill Imamura Heutaro's teacup, and removed the other teacup.

  The other teacup was probably used by the short and fat man before.

  The kettle is only half full of water, which means that the two have refilled the water many times, which in turn shows that the two people have met for a long time.

   Besides, the water in both teacups is already cold.

  Cheng Qianfan calculated that from the time he entered Imamura Heutaro's room to the time he offered to help Imamura refill the water, it took only a few minutes. Shanghai in early October was not too cool for the time being.

  The water in the teacup cannot cool down so quickly.

   In addition, the guest's teacup is only a quarter full of water.

  This shows that Imamura and the visitor were so focused on talking and discussing things at the last moment that they forgot to refill the water for the guest.

  Hyotaro Imamura has always attached great importance to etiquette.

  What happened that the host was so busy that he forgot to refill the water for the guests?

  Reminiscent of the gloomy face of the short and fat man when he left, it shows that the two of them are obviously not reminiscing about the old days or chatting about some romantic things, but must be discussing major issues, and may even have disagreements and quarrels because of something.

  Cheng Qianfan’s mind was like playing a movie, ‘constructing’ the ‘process’ of the meeting between the chunky man and Imamura Heutaro, and recalling some details of this person.

  When a man walks, his right foot is heavier, and the center of gravity is on his right foot, which means that his left foot has an injury, which may not necessarily be caused by an injury, but may also be due to poor legs and feet of the elderly, which is not conducive to walking.

  When the man spoke to Imamura Heitaro, he used Japanese with a certain accent.

  With this accent, Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly, for a moment he couldn't tell where the accent was from Japan.

  This short, fat man in his fifties aroused his great interest.
