Chapter 1175 List

 Catch or not?

 The answer is naturally yes—

Grasp!

However, when will we start arresting people?

 Which one to catch?

 Or should all three be arrested?

 These are all things Tang Kanlao needs to consider.

 Spies work is about killing, but it is not just about killing.

 The watcher outside Cheng Qianfan's ward should be a small character, while the visitor in his ward should be an important figure, but this person's importance must be lower than that of Cheng Qianfan.

 These two people can be captured.

 …

 As for Cheng Qianfan?

Tang Kanlao's consideration was not to take action against Cheng Qianfan first, and because of this premise, he needed to secretly arrest the other two people.

The reason why we don’t rush to attack these three people now is mainly because of Cheng Qianfan’s sensitive identity.

Ding Mutun once secretly told him to be cautious about Cheng Qianfan's actions. Under the current situation, taking action against Cheng Qianfan would most likely touch the sensitive nerves of Secretary General Chu Mingyu.

Tang Kanlao understood the meaning of Dingmutun’s words:

 You can take action against Cheng Qianfan, but you must have more convincing evidence.

 This "convincing evidence" cannot be obtained after being tortured. At the very least, there must be strong evidence that can support the arrest before arresting the person for torture.

This is also the reason why after much hesitation, Tang Wenlao did not make up his mind to directly serve the three of them in one pot.

He had no strong evidence to prove that there was something wrong with these three people. He only relied on the confession of a temporary worker that one of them had made dissatisfaction with the Locust Army. This could be used as evidence to arrest ordinary people. However, this did not apply to Cheng. A person like Qianfan who has a backer.

 Therefore, Tang Wenlao made a very smart and decisive decision:

 Cheng Qianfan, a guy with a profound background and a thorn in his side, will not be moved for the time being.

 Take down the other two soft persimmons first.

 After prying open the mouths of these two people, it would be logical to attack Cheng Qianfan at that time.

"Tell the brothers to cheer up and wait for the two people to leave the hospital, and then seize the opportunity to arrest them secretly." Tang Kanlao said in a deep voice.

"Yes, team leader." The subordinate hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you want team leader Tong to..."

 “Let’s inform the boy group leader.” Tang Kanlao said thoughtfully.

His original intention was to use his own team to complete this secret arrest. However, this time he collaborated with Tong Xueyong to handle the case. Even if he wanted to eat alone, he knew that the food should not be too ugly. After all, Tong Xueyong took the initiative. Showing up outside to confuse the other party is also meritorious in itself.

 …

“Wang Qianhai was not injured in the assassination a few days ago, but was a little frightened.” Okada Toshihiko suddenly said.

Cheng Qianfan looked at Toshihiko Okada in surprise. He did not expect Toshihiko Okada to take the initiative to mention this 'confidential information'.

This was not a lie, he was really surprised.

"I know that many young people in the empire, including you, despise China, and even look down on Wang Chuhai." Okada Toshihiko said, "However, even if he was assassinated, Wang Chuhai saw a doctor that day Later, he still insisted on participating in negotiations."

 He ​​looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "Moreover, Wang Chuanhai made a fuss about his own assassination to put pressure on Liang Hongzhi and Wang Kemin, which ultimately prompted the two to make certain concessions, which led to the complete success of the talks."

Cheng Qianfan's heart was in turmoil. Was the three-way meeting between Wang Chuanhai, Wang Kemin, and Liang Hongzhi successful?

 What kind of agreement was reached between the three of them?

The reason why he was surprised was that according to the information Cheng Qianfan had, these three traitors each represented their own interest groups and had many conflicts over how to distribute power. It was almost impossible to reach a more satisfactory cooperation agreement. At least not in the short term.

According to what Cheng Qianfan learned from Liu Xia, after the talks began, Wang Kuhai took a preemptive strike and asked Wang, Liang and others to participate in the so-called "Central Zhengzhi Meeting."

 In addition, the most important thing is to establish a new central government in Nanjing as soon as possible, by which time the "provisional" and "reform" governments will be abolished.

The Wang family was quite encouraged by this move, thinking it was a preemptive strike, directly overpowering Wang Kemin and Liang Hongzhi.

However, in Cheng Qianfan's view, Wang Qianhai's move, which he thought was successful, should actually have been expected by Wang and Liang.

 Because, Cheng Qianfan had previously learned from Hyotarō Imamura that the Japanese government’s attitude towards supporting Wang Reclamation in establishing a unified puppet regime was gradually becoming firmer.

Both Wang Kemin and Liang Hongzhi could feel this firm attitude and will from their Japanese masters. Naturally, these two traitors did not dare to go against their masters' wishes. Therefore, they wanted to ban Wang Quanhai's "Reformation" ' and the 'interim' governments should be mentally prepared.

However, it is obvious that these two people will not hand over their power happily. Therefore, this so-called three-party talks will definitely be full of bickering, and it will be difficult to reach any constructive contract or agreement in the short term.

 …

"How dare Wang Chuanhai have such courage?" Cheng Qianfan said in surprise, tut-tutting, and then he showed surprise, "Chief, according to what I found out from Liu Xia, there is a conflict between the three parties. It stands to reason that we can reach an agreement within a short period of time." The possibility of consensus is not high.”

More than just "contradictions", it is actually full of contradictions, Okada Toshihiko said in his heart.

On the first day of the meeting, Wang Chuanhai presented the "Draft Organizational Regulations of the Central Zhengzhi Conference" and the "Outline of the Interim Organizational Regulations of the North China Government Affairs Commission", hoping that the "provisional" and "restoration" governments would agree.

It stipulates that among the tentative 24 to 30 members of the Zhengzhi Conference, there are only 6 places for the "Provisional" and "Reformation" governments, and they can only participate in the name of "important social figures"; the actual power of the North China Government Affairs Committee, All are controlled by the central government.

Wang and Liang were of course unwilling to accept this. They resisted passively on the grounds that they had not received advance notice of the proposal from the local Japanese commander, so they could not agree to participate in the Central Zhengzhi Conference.

 Since then, the talks have reached a deadlock.

It was under this circumstance that the empire held a meeting at the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters in Nanjing to study countermeasures to promote tripartite cooperation.

The meeting conveyed the spirit of domestic instructions. In view of the situation of the Sino-Japanese war, Abe's new cabinet has decided to adopt "realist" countermeasures to support Wang Reclamation in establishing the central government, and dispatched the second minister of the General Staff Headquarters to Ning to convey this to the Japanese army.

Even after Wang Reichui was assassinated, he continued to attend the meeting "with a fearless attitude". Imperial Staff Headquarters Kage Sasakiaki, "Restoration Government" Supreme Advisor Harada, and "Provisional Government" Supreme Advisor Kita Makoto all attended "Wang, Wang, Liang” tripartite talks.

General Yingzuo announced on the spot that the Abe cabinet supported Wang Reclamation in establishing a central government.

Hearing this, Wang Chuanhai was filled with joy, thinking that with the support of the imperial cabinet, the talks would go smoothly.

Unexpectedly, around nine o'clock that night, Wang Kemin and Liang Hongzhi hurried to Laohuqiao to meet Wang Kehai and express their latest attitude:

“We all disagree with the Central Committee’s Zhengzhi Conference personnel, headcount distribution, national flag and other issues.”

 The tough attitude of Wang and Liang was naturally supported by the imperial advisers behind them.

General Ying Zuo also had no choice but to admit that the provisional government had been downgraded to a political committee and the reform government was facing the fate of disbandment. This caused panic among the two governments and was indeed not conducive to the stability of the situation.

In this way, Wang Chuanhai was overjoyed, and the three parties could only hold an emergency meeting overnight...

Okada Toshihiko, as a trusted assistant of Kage Sasaki, was able to observe the entire incident.

 As the saying goes, the beholder is clear, but he was a little helpless in his heart.

The conflict between the Wang family and Wang and Liang was actually secretly caused by the entanglement of interests between the imperial troops stationed in various places in China.

There are many factions within the Locust Army. The Locust Army in various places want to use the regime they support to expand their power and do not want a unified central government to emerge.

 The attitudes of Wang and Liang actually reflected the positions of the North China Front Army and the Central China Expeditionary Army. In addition, the imperial cabinet supported Wang Reclamation, but in fact the military had always been opposed to it.

Of course, these details do not need to be discussed in detail with Kentaro Miyazaki, and this guy should not be too interested in them.

 …

"Although there are indeed conflicts, with the empire as their solid backing, they can still better eliminate conflicts, integrate ideas, and reach consensus." Okada Toshihiko said.

 “That’s great.” Cheng Qianfan said excitedly.

Toshihiko Okada glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki. The three-party talks reached a certain consensus, which is naturally a good thing. It is understandable that Kentaro Miyazaki is happy about this, but this guy seems to be a little too excited.

Then he heard Kentaro Miyazaki ask him—

“Chief, now that the matter in Nanjing has been settled, can I return to Shanghai as soon as possible?”

 Bag duck falls!

Okada Toshihiko is really angry.

 His efforts were all in vain!

In order to give Kentaro Miyazaki a sense of honor and excitement in participating in such military and national events, he deliberately disclosed some confidential information to Kentaro Miyazaki. Of course, Wang Chuanhai, Wang Kemin, and Liang Hongzhi would soon issue statements respectively. , so there is not much secret left in this confidential information.

 The most important thing is that if he wants to assign a new task to Kentaro Miyazaki, he must briefly mention it and especially explain the progress of the meeting.

But I never expected that this guy's first reaction was not a sense of participation in military affairs. He didn't even have the natural cordiality and eagerness of an agent for such confidential information. This guy's first reaction was, 'This is a big deal.' He wanted to get back as soon as possible. Shanghai.

 What to do when you return to Shanghai?

 Busy with business?

 …

“You have to stay in Nanjing.” Toshihiko Okada’s words were like a ladle of cold water poured on Kentaro Miyazaki. The excitement in this guy’s eyes dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Chief, as you just said, the talks have ended successfully, what am I still doing in Nanjing?” Cheng Qianfan frowned, then forced himself to relax, and asked.

“Chu Mingyu will be appointed by Wang Qinhai to stay in Nanjing to handle follow-up affairs.” Okada Toshihiko said.

Cheng Qianfan looked astonished. Chu Mingyu wanted to continue to stay in Nanjing, so naturally he, the assistant secretary-general, also had to stay in Nanjing.

However, he frowned slightly and soon found a reason to leave Nanjing, "Chief, after experiencing the assassination of Wang Chuanhai, although Chu Mingyu said he trusted me, of course, my feeling is that Chu Mingyu should I also believe that I have nothing to do with the assassination, but I am still under investigation by the Secret Service Headquarters. In this case, Chu Mingyu will most likely exclude me temporarily because he wants to avoid suspicion."

"No." Okada Toshihiko shook his head, "In this case, Chu Mingyu will only use you more."

 He looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "At least on the surface, I have to trust you as always and keep you by my side."

Cheng Qianfan was "puzzled at first", then after thinking about it for a while, he became thoughtful, and finally he suddenly realized it.

 “Understood?” Okada Toshihiko asked.

"I understand." Cheng Qianfan looked ashamed, "My subordinate is stupid and needs guidance from the head of the department to understand."

Okada Toshihiko nodded with satisfaction.

 …

"Wang Reclamation wanted to prepare a peaceful government. The empire once allocated a sum of money to him to win support from all aspects." Okada Toshihiko said, "According to the intelligence we have, during the past few days in Nanjing, Wang's troops A lot of money was secretly leaked."

He looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and said with a serious expression, "The whereabouts of these funds are unknown."

“Does the director suspect that Wang Qianhai has embezzled ‘public funds’?” Cheng Qianfan suddenly asked excitedly.

“He is Wang Chuanhai, not Cheng Qianfan.” Toshihiko Okada shook his head, “He would not do such a thing.”

 Cheng Qianfan did not expect that the Japanese had such a high opinion of Wang Chuhai. It seems that in terms of personal morality and character, Wang has a good reputation among the Japanese.

“According to the information we have, the outflow of this money mostly passed through the hands of Chu Mingyu.” Okada Toshihiko said to Miyazaki Kentaro, “Your task is to find out where these expenditures go.”

 Cheng Qianfan frowned and thought.

 “Are you having trouble?” Okada Toshihiko asked.

"I don't dare to brag." Cheng Qianfan said seriously, "Such matters must be absolutely confidential. It is very difficult for me to find out these secrets from Chu Mingyu."

In his heart, he was completely satisfied with this task arrangement. However, Cheng Qianfan knew that it would be difficult to find out the secret whereabouts of money from Chu Mingyu, the Wang family's chief steward. .

 Hence, his words really came from the bottom of his heart and were not a pretense of polite rejection.

"Chu Mingyu has the habit of recording affairs with pen and paper. He should have a running account in his hand." Toshihiko Okada said. After a pause, he still selectively revealed a bit of information, "Some senior officers of the Appeasement Army, Get the list.”

"Yes." Cheng Qianfan suddenly realized, and he said with a serious expression, "I will try my best to get the list."

“It’s not about trying your best, it’s about getting the list.” Toshihiko Okada said with a serious face, “This is an order.”

 He looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "You can make any requests."

"As long as it is a reasonable request, I will try my best to satisfy you." Okada Toshihiko said.

 …

“Chief.” Cheng Qianfan thought seriously and said, “I need manpower.”

Toshihiko Okada glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki and frowned slightly. He knew where the "human hand" in Kentaro Miyazaki's mouth meant:

 The manpower Miyazaki wanted were his close associates in Shanghai.

These trusted subordinates are not the subordinates of the patrol room, but the bodyguards and thugs recruited by "Mr. Xiao Cheng".

“Even if your men come to Nanjing, they will not be of much help to you in completing this task.” Okada Toshihiko shook his head and said.

“Chief.” Cheng Qianfan showed embarrassment, “My subordinates mean that they can come to Nanjing to protect me.”

 …

When Toshihiko Okada left the ward, his face covered by the mask had a sulky look.

Miyazaki Kentaro was obviously frightened after receiving a bullet in the Minshengqiao assassination of Wang Kehai. This guy was very afraid of death.

Okada Toshihiko thought twice, considering that Kentaro Miyazaki really needed the help of trusted people, and Wang Qianhai was about to leave Nanjing. In this way, the need for Wang's confidentiality was reduced, so he reluctantly agreed to Kentaro Miyazaki and could arrange for him to do so. Several men came to Nanjing.

Standing at the window, watching the two men walking towards the hospital door, Tang Kanlao waved his right hand:
