My years of espionage

Chapter 1773 Teacher Imamura, praise me!

Chapter 1773 Teacher Imamura, praise me!

"This is really ridiculous!" Cheng Qianfan said with a mocking look on his face, or rather, with a hint of confusion in his mockery, "The Germans occupied Paris, and the French capital fell. They are all in a state of panic all day long."

"Then, their government, their national hero marshal announced the surrender of France, and the French actually felt relieved." Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly, "Now even the argument that the Germans will protect the French Concession has arisen. The French are simply unreasonable."

"Especially the French who actually tried to rely on the Germans to provoke the Empire." Cheng Qianfan's face was gloomy, "It's ridiculous!"

"Calm down." Imamura Heitaro glanced at Miyazaki Kentaro, "Kentaro, your anger is controlling your emotions."

"Ha Yi." Cheng Qianfan took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down a little, and said, "Teacher, I lost my temper, but when I thought about the faces of some French people, I was really angry."

"I have had classes with you and explained the relationship between France and Germany, focusing on the war between France and Germany. Now tell me about it," said Heitaro Imamura.

"Hayi." Cheng Qianfan said. He thought for a moment before continuing, "Germany and France have indeed had many conflicts in history, such as the Hundred Years' War, the Napoleonic Wars, the Franco-Prussian War, and the European War more than 20 years ago."

……

"What was the cause of the war between France and Germany?" said Imamura Heitaro after taking a sip of tea.

"These conflicts are mainly caused by territorial disputes, nationalism, and competition for resources..." Cheng Qianfan said. He poured water into Imamura Heitaro's teacup and continued, "Or it can be said that it is a struggle for European hegemony between the two countries, and a series of wars triggered by the struggle for European hegemony."

"Give me an example," said Heitaro Imamura.

"For example." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment, "For example, in the Franco-Prussian War, France's goal was to prevent Prussia from unifying Germany and prevent the Germans from becoming stronger and competing with France for European hegemony. However, the final result was that France was defeated, the Prussians unified Germany, and France ceded Alsace and Lorraine, which planted the seeds of long-term hostility and also laid the hidden dangers for the previous European war."

Cheng Qianfan continued, "After the European war, France was the most determined to weaken Germany, which also laid the hidden danger for the outbreak of the war in Europe now."

……

"So, what about Britain?" Imamura Heitaro suddenly asked.

"Britain?" Cheng Qianfan fell into thought.

Heitaro Imamura looked at his students with a scrutinizing and encouraging look in his eyes.

"France and Germany compete for hegemony in Europe, and they have won and lost against each other. In the eyes of these two countries, the European continent..." Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and said, "The European continent is either theirs or the other's. Other countries are not qualified to compete with them for hegemony in Europe."

"During the Napoleonic era, there was a continental blockade policy, which attempted to unite continental European countries to fight against Britain. The British then turned around and won over Prussia to form an anti-French alliance."

"At the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, Germany and France competed for colonies in Africa and Asia. In order to contain Germany, Britain reached an "entente" with France to jointly curb Germany's rise."

"I understand." Cheng Qianfan said, "Teacher, I understand. Britain is the most important driving force behind the instability in Europe. I believe the French have long seen through this. They hate their mortal enemy Germany, but they have no good feelings towards the British."

"So, although the French were psychologically humiliated when Pétain announced France's surrender to Germany, it seemed that they did not have difficulty accepting it." Cheng Qianfan said, "This is just as reported in the French newspapers in the French Concession, and it is also the current psychological state of the French expatriates."

After saying this, he looked at Imamura Heitaro with a hint of pride in his eyes, as if saying, "Teacher, please praise me."

……

"Not bad." Imamura Heitaro nodded slightly, "It's worth my years of teaching you. Your answer is not bad."

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher." Cheng Qianfan said gratefully, "Without your careful teaching, I would still be a short-sighted kid full of money."

"What about now?" Imamura Heitaro looked at Miyazaki Kentaro with disdain, "Is he a money-grubbing kid who has broadened his horizons?"

"So, teacher, you have a long way to go in your work. Our students are dull and need your constant encouragement." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.

When he faced Imamura Heitaro now, he had grown very thick-skinned, and he discovered that although Imamura Heitaro seemed strict, he was actually quite doting and liked his 'thick-skinnedness'.

Heitaro Imamura glared at Kentaro Miyazaki, and the latter pretended to be scared and lowered his head. Heitaro Imamura smiled helplessly and shook his head.

……

"How's the investigation into the leak going?" Imamura Heitaro suddenly asked, "Did Arao-kun call you over to inquire about this matter again?"

"I don't have any clues at the moment." Cheng Qianfan said, "Section Chief Arao didn't summon me again. I guess he believes in me."

After being "surprised" to learn that the news that the Japanese army was about to occupy the French Concession had suddenly spread in the French Concession, Cheng Qianfan went to the Special High Section the next day to meet with Arao Chihiro to report the matter.

At that time, Arao Chihiro questioned him how the information could have been leaked.

Cheng Qianfan looked confused, then terrified. He cursed and swore that he had kept the secret absolutely confidential, had not mentioned the matter to anyone, and that the leak had absolutely nothing to do with him.

Afterwards, Cheng Qianfan came to Counselor Imamura to report his work and complain to his teacher.

Therefore, Hyotaro Imamura now has this question.

……

"The nature of this leak is extremely bad," said Imamura Heitaro. "Mr. Iwai has also heard about it, and he has informed the government that he will work together to assist all parties in investigating the matter."

Cheng Qianfan showed a look of surprise. Within the Japanese spy agencies, it was good enough that they didn't trip each other up, let alone cooperate with each other.

"You have to understand the serious nature of this leak." Imamura Heitaro said, "The decision that the Empire's top leaders in Shanghai had just reached was leaked that night. What does this mean? It means that the enemy is already lurking within the Empire, and is likely in a key position."

"Find this mole," said Imamura Heitaro, "otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Ha Yi." Cheng Qianfan said quickly, "Teacher, I understand."

"Okay, the relevant people will take care of the matter of catching the spies." Imamura Heitaro looked at Miyazaki Kentaro and said, "Kentaro, you will go back to the police station in a while. Make the final preparations. The Empire will officially enter the French Concession after dawn."

Cheng Qianfan looked at Imamura Heitaro in astonishment, and then his astonished eyes instantly turned into ecstasy, "Teacher, is this true?"
