Chapter 1768 Extremely urgent!
"Paris has fallen, the French army is retreating step by step, and half of France's territory is occupied by Germany. Under the current circumstances, it is basically impossible for the French Concession authorities to obtain help and asylum from mainland Europe." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.
"This is also the biggest reason why the French Concession authorities are in a state of panic right now. They feel confused and afraid about the future."
"Judging from the current situation, if the Empire wants to forcibly occupy the French Concession, the French Concession authorities will not have much ability to resist." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression.
As he spoke, a mocking and contemptuous smile rose from the corner of his mouth. "Judging from the weakness shown by the French army on the European battlefield, I even doubt that a small team of imperial warriors can make the French raise white flags and hold their hands high to welcome the Empire to enter the French Concession."
"Go on." Arao Chihiro nodded slightly and said.
"The truth is that the attitude of the French is no longer a concern. What's important is the attitude of the British." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "The British have always been arrogant, and their attitude towards the Empire is even more arrogant. In all likelihood, they will not watch the Empire enter the French Concession and remain indifferent."
"Take the European battlefield for example. Although the British and French forces suffered a crushing defeat, the British miraculously withdrew most of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk, and the British strength did not suffer any major losses."
"In addition, the presence of the British fleet in the Far East is also a powerful threat to the Empire." Cheng Qianfan showed his worry and indignation. "So, although I am eager for the Empire to enter the French Concession as soon as possible, the British's tough reaction has to attract our attention."
……
Arao Chihiro asked about Japan's entry into the French Concession, which aroused Cheng Qianfan's high vigilance and strong sense of crisis.
Because he had to emphasize his personal eagerness for the Japanese army to occupy the French Concession, and at the same time, find ways to make the Japanese wary and curb the Japanese army's ambition and impulse to occupy the French Concession.
"Miyazaki." said Tomohiro Arao.
"Hai."
"It seems that you have indeed learned a lot from Counselor Imamura, and your analysis does make some sense." Arao Chihiro said, "In fact, your concerns are the same as those of some people in the military."
"For the empire, the biggest obstacle to occupying the French Concession is no longer the French, but the arrogant British," said Tomohiro Arao.
"Yes, Section Chief." Cheng Qianfan nodded, and said with anticipation in his eyes, "If possible, it would be great if the Empire could teach those arrogant British a lesson one day."
Just at this moment, the phone on Arao Chihiro's desk rang.
Arao Chihiro glanced at Miyazaki Kentaro.
Cheng Qianfan tactfully took a few steps back and moved away from the phone.
Arao Chihiro picked up the phone, "Moshimoshi, this is Arao Chihiro."
"Hayi." Arao Chihiro suddenly stood up and said with an extremely respectful attitude.
"Hai."
……
Tomohiro Arao hung up the phone and looked at Kentaro Miyazaki.
"The section chief has something to deal with, so I will take my leave first." Cheng Qianfan said quickly.
"Miyazaki." Arao Tomohiro looked at Miyazaki Kentaro with a serious expression and said.
"Hai."
"The Empire has decided to officially move into the French Concession." Arao Chihiro said in a deep voice.
"What?" Cheng Qianfan exclaimed, and then his eyes blossomed with great joy, "Has it been decided?"
"Yes." Arao Chihiro nodded, "This is the latest resolution."
"Great!" Cheng Qianfan was overjoyed. "I have been waiting for this day for too long. I have long been looking forward to the day when the flag of the empire flies high in the French Concession."
"This matter has just been decided, and it is currently a top secret." Arao Chihiro said solemnly, "The Empire will immediately begin to make all preparations for entering the French Concession, and will officially enter the French Concession within a week at the latest."
Arao Chihiro said, "Miyazaki, your current identity is very important for the Empire to enter the French Concession smoothly. Your mission is to cooperate with the Empire to enter the French Concession and ensure the stability within the French Concession."
"Ha Yi." Cheng Qianfan said excitedly, "Please rest assured, Section Chief, I understand."
"You need to keep a record of the French assets in the French Concession." Arao Chihiro glanced at Cheng Qianfan and said, "We must absolutely prevent the French from taking the empire's wealth away from Shanghai."
"Hai."
……
"As for the businesses of wealthy Chinese in the French Concession, before the Empire officially moves into the French Concession, we must keep them absolutely confidential to prevent the loss of the Empire's wealth," said Tomohiro Arao with a serious expression.
"Hayi, I know what to do." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Another point is that we should take advantage of this opportunity to catch those anti-Japanese elements who are hiding in the French Concession like rats." Arao Tomohiro said coldly.
"Don't worry, Section Chief. These people are hiding in the French Concession. They never thought that the Empire would take action against the French Concession so quickly." Cheng Qianfan said, "When the Empire officially enters the French Concession, it will be a good opportunity to catch these anti-Japanese elements in one fell swoop!"
"Very good!" Arao Chihiro nodded slightly, "If you have any questions, report to me in time."
"Hai."
……
Lafayette Road.
"Sir is back." The little maid Li Zi took the briefcase from Cheng Qianfan.
She keenly captured the excitement and excitement in Cheng Qianfan's eyes.
"Make a pot of good tea and send it to the study. Don't disturb me for anything without my instructions." Cheng Qianfan said with an excited tone.
He glanced at the maid Li Zi. From the "factual" point of view, he didn't know the inside story of the "Qingcheng Clothing Shop" incident yet, so he had "no idea" about the secret meeting between the maid Li Zi and Sugita Sanshiro.
This also means that Li Zi’s current lurking is still successful.
However, the inside story of the "Qingcheng Garment Shop" incident will be "known" to him sooner or later. In this way, he will also know about the secret meeting between Li Zi and Sugita Sanshiro. In this way, Li Zi's identity will be revealed to the world, and then this little maid will definitely not stay in the Cheng Mansion anymore.
Objectively speaking, Cheng Qianfan did not want to see this situation.
A spy who has already been known to him will not only not pose a threat, but Li Zi's existence will often be used by him to cover for himself.
If Li Zi was transferred to the Special Higher Police, he would have to worry about finding out who the enemy might be spies who had infiltrated Cheng's house again.
"Yes, sir." Chestnut agreed obediently.
……
I watched Li Zi brew a pot of good tea and bring it to me, then close the door after leaving.
Cheng Qianfan waited until the footsteps faded away, then he quietly opened the door. After confirming that Li Zi had indeed left, he closed the door and locked it.
The excited expression on his face disappeared immediately.
The worried and serious look reflected his mood at the moment.
After learning that the French army was losing ground on the European battlefield, he was extremely worried that the Japanese would attack the French Concession.
He had previously tried to sound out the issue with Heitaro Imamura, and judging from Heitaro Imamura's attitude at the time, the Japanese were still reserved and cautious about entering the French Concession.
However, it is obvious that the German army's progress on the European battlefield was too fast, especially the German occupation of Paris, which directly stimulated the Japanese to release their ambitions for the French Concession.
For the various forces that used the French Concession as a secret base to launch the anti-Japanese struggle, and for the compatriots and Chinese assets who were temporarily surviving in the French Concession, the Japanese occupation of the French Concession was absolutely a bolt from the blue.
Not to mention Chongqing and the underground personnel organized in the French Concession, just for the several major banks in the French Concession and other industries that are struggling to operate, the Japanese entry into the French Concession would be an unprecedented catastrophe.
Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, smoked it sullenly, and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he opened the compartment and took out the radio.
……
The top-secret information that the Japanese army would occupy the French Concession within a week at the latest was sent to Dai Chunfeng and Comrade "Nongfu" in Chongqing via radio waves.
After putting away the radio, Cheng Qianfan leaned back on the chair.
This power generation is extremely risky for him.
He didn't know whether there were other comrades on the secret front in Chongqing or in the organization who could simultaneously learn the information that the Japanese had decided to occupy the French Concession. He felt that this possibility was unlikely.
With such a covert identity as Kentaro Miyazaki, he had just learned of this information. Other comrades on the secret front might have the opportunity to obtain this information, but it is highly unlikely that they would be able to obtain it in such a timely manner.
In this way, once the enemy learns that the intelligence of their occupation of the French Concession has been leaked and further locks down the time of the leak, he will most likely be included in the Japanese suspect list, and will be a key suspect list.
But at this moment, he couldn't care less.
……
chongqing.
A rapid phone call woke Dai Chunfeng who had just fallen asleep.
Chen Hua was also awakened.
Dai Chunfeng glanced at Chen Hua, then stood up and picked up the phone.
"Commander, it's me." Qi Wu said on the other end of the phone, "I have something important to report to you."
"Come over." Dai Chunfeng nodded and hung up the phone.
"What's wrong?" Chen Hua asked.
"Qi Wu is coming over." Dai Chunfeng said seriously, "Something must have happened."
Half an hour later, Dai Chunfeng met Qi Wu in the study.
"Director." Qi Wu took out a telegram from his briefcase and handed it to Dai Chunfeng with both hands. "Bluebird has sent an urgent telegram, saying that the Japanese have decided to occupy the French Concession."
"What?" Dai Chunfeng was shocked. He snatched the telegram, looked down, and then his face became extremely gloomy.
"The French are incompetent!" Dai Chunfeng cursed angrily, "They also say that they are the strongest army in Europe, bullshit! It's a joke."
Dai Chunfeng also paid close attention to the situation on the European battlefield. Seeing the French army retreating step by step, in fact, he had always been worried about the situation in the various French concessions in China, especially the French Concession.
Now, knowing that the Japanese have decided to occupy the French Concession, Dai Chunfeng's fears were about to become a reality. How could he not be filled with hatred? He was extremely dissatisfied with the incompetence of the French.
"Commander, the situation is urgent and we must come up with a response strategy as soon as possible." Qi Wu said with a serious expression.
"Luckily we have 'Blue Bird'. Otherwise, if we knew nothing about the Japanese occupation of the French Concession, it would have been like the sky falling." Dai Chunfeng sighed.
He paced back and forth, "Immediately call Shanghai and inform Chen Gongshu..."
Having said that, Dai Chunfeng suddenly shut up.
……
Qi Wu didn't say anything. Although he was also anxious, he knew that Dai Chunfeng was making a decision.
"I'll go see the principal now." Dai Chunfeng said.
"Also, you should call the Woodcutter immediately," Dai Chunfeng said, "and have the Woodcutter use the radio station of the Xiaohe group to send a message here, and have the Woodcutter report the information about the Japanese occupation of the French Concession."
"I see." Qi Wu nodded. He immediately understood that Dai Chunfeng was trying his best to protect the 'Blue Bird'.
"Also, order the Woodcutter to evacuate Shanghai immediately after sending the message," Dai Chunfeng said. "Let him come to Chongqing and stay there. He should not go anywhere else."
"I understand." Qi Wu nodded. "Then I will wait for the message from the Woodcutter to arrive before sending a message to the Shanghai District?"
"That's it." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice. He put on his coat and fastened the discipline button. "I will go to see the principal immediately. The affairs of the bureau headquarters will be handed over to you."
"clear."
……
Guilin.
Eight Offices.
Looking at the urgent secret message sent by Comrade Lu Wenhua, Comrade Farmer's expression became more serious than ever before.
"The situation is extremely serious." Comrade Farmer said.
"Yes, once the Japanese occupy the French Concession, it will be an unprecedented blow to the anti-Japanese forces and national industries in the French Concession." Comrade Lu Wenhua said, "The anti-Japanese situation in Shanghai will also encounter the most severe predicament so far."
"Two telegrams," Comrade Farmer said, "one to Yanzhou headquarters, forwarding Comrade Huomiao's message to the headquarters, and one to Shanghai, asking the comrades in Shanghai to prepare for emergency response."
"Comrades in Shanghai, please do a good job of relocation and concealment, and at the same time, do a good job of warning and protecting relevant people and industries."
"I understand." Lu Wenhua nodded.
He thought for a moment and said with a serious expression, "The Japanese occupation of the French Concession is top secret information. Comrade Huomiao sent this telegram at great risk. I am worried about his safety."
"Yeah, I'm worried too." Comrade Farmer said.
He thought for a moment, and then said with a serious expression, "Send a secret telegram to Comrade Quanshui, asking him to call back immediately and inform us that the Japanese are about to occupy the French Concession."
Comrade Nongfu waved his hand again and said, "No, send a telegram to Comrade Quanshui. There are two copies of the message. One is the message that Comrade Quanshui should know. Let Comrade Quanshui meet with Comrade Kujing immediately and secretly. Let Comrade Kujing translate the other half of the message in person and let Comrade Kujing reply with Comrade Quanshui's telegram to inform us of the Japanese occupation of the French Concession."
Comrade Nongfu said, "After receiving the call, Comrade Kujing left Shanghai immediately and went to Yanzhou as arranged by the organization."
"I understand." Lu Wenhua nodded and said.
"Also, call back Comrade Huo Miao." Comrade Nongfu quickly wrote a telegram and handed it to Comrade Lu Wenhua.
"Yes!" Lu Wenhua nodded and said.
