Chapter 1841 Wu Family Courtyard
"Instructor, this is Comrade Lao Zhao who works at the railway station." Huo Yongliang from Pingyuan County Party Committee introduced him to Wang Jun.
"I'm sorry to have caused trouble to our local comrades." Wang Jun shook hands with Comrade Lao Zhao and said.
"The instructor's words are too polite," Huo Yongliang said, "The villagers are dreaming of their own troops fighting back."
He looked at Lao Zhao and said, "Lao Zhao, the instructor wants to know the situation at the train station, especially the situation of the train that will arrive tonight. Please tell us."
……
"You mean, there was a carriage that you were not allowed to approach?" Wang Jun asked.
"Yes." Old Zhao knocked on his pipe and said, "The Japanese and the Imperial Army dogs have imposed martial law and will not allow the laborers to approach that carriage."
"Did you see the situation in the carriage?" Wang Jun asked.
"It's not clear." Lao Zhao said, "No one dared to look, for fear that if they walked too slowly, they would be misunderstood and arrested by the Japanese traitors."
Wang Jun frowned. He didn't expect that the enemy attached so much importance to that carriage that even the staff at Pingyuan Station were on guard against it.
"But there is one thing." Lao Zhao said, "There are many cars coming to the station. Si Wa also said that all the cars in the county town have come to the station."
"You mean, the enemy has requisitioned a lot of cars to go to the station to pick up people?" Wang Jun asked immediately.
"Yes," said Lao Zhao. Then he thought for a moment and added, "Because the enemy was well prepared, I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I kept an eye on it."
He said to the instructor, "I saw a car. When the car came to the station, the wheels moved differently."
"What you mean is that the different ways the car wheels touch the ground indicate that there are people in the car, or that it is carrying goods," Huo Yongliang asked.
"Yeah." said Lao Zhao.
……
"It's unlikely to be cargo, it's more likely to be a person." Wang Jun said thoughtfully.
If it is cargo, military trucks should be arranged for escort. Only when welcoming VIPs will cars be requisitioned.
He was moved and asked, "Where is the best hotel in the county?"
He paused and said, "It doesn't have to be a hotel. Whose house is the best?"
"It's Mr. Wu's family in the south of the city." Huo Yongliang said.
He explained to Wang Jun, "Mr. Wu is not a juren, but his father is a juren. So people are used to calling the Wu family the Wu Juren family. Their house is large, they have many rooms, and they eat and use the best food."
"If there are important people on the enemy's train, Pingyuan County will have to settle them down and provide them with food, lodging and other necessities." Wang Jun said, "The Wu family you mentioned may be used to entertain them."
Then Wang Jun said, "The head of the Wu family is Wu Shancai, I remember. He is from the maintenance association."
"Yes, Wu Shancai is the chairman of the maintenance association." Huo Yongliang said, "Wu Shancai's eldest son is the head of the Imperial Army in Jinan. The Wu family is determined to be traitors."
He thought and said, "If it is really an important figure from the enemy who comes to Pingyuan County, maybe Wu Shancai will take the initiative to offer his house to those people to live in."
……
"Can you find out what the Wu family's current situation is?" Wang Jun asked thoughtfully.
"Okay." Huo Yongliang said, "I'll arrange a comrade who is familiar with the terrain to conduct reconnaissance."
"City gate..." Wang Jun said.
"Comrade instructor, rest assured. The city gate can't hold us back." Huo Yongliang said with a smile, "Otherwise we wouldn't be able to get in and out so smoothly."
As locals of Pingyuan County, although the county gate was closed, they knew where the dog holes were and how to climb out.
Although large-scale entry and exit of the city is impossible, it is not a problem for three or five people to enter and exit secretly.
……
Wu Family Courtyard.
Cheng Qianfan and Feng Mincai were arranged to stay in the side room, and their rooms were next to each other.
Although it is a side room, the house is not small in size. Although the furnishings are outdated, they are very simple, which shows that the owner has considerable financial resources.
After a tiring journey and a satisfying meal.
The lights were off and Cheng Qianfan was lying on the bed with his hands behind his neck, thinking about something.
Before leaving Nanjing, Chu Mingyu had a secret meeting with him.
Chu Mingyu secretly confessed:
In order to "support its ally Germany", the National Government will increase the collection of coal, cotton and grain from North China and Central China. Some of these resources will be transported to Germany via Korea and Manchukuo, via the Siberian Railway or secret sea routes.
"This is the National Government's contribution to the encirclement and suppression of the Reds around the world!"
At that time, Cheng Qianfan naturally admired Mr. Wang and the National Government's contributions to world peace and the international suppression of the Reds.
However, he also asked Chu Mingyu a question in confusion:
The Trans-Siberian Railway is still in the hands of the Soviets, so it would probably be difficult to connect to Germany by land.
Chu Mingyu smiled slightly and avoided talking about this topic. He just told him to listen more and do less, and to follow Huang Xin's arrangements.
Cheng Qianfan suddenly realized that his trip was just for the purpose of gilding the lily and everything had been arranged.
……
At this moment, Cheng Qianfan was still thinking about his meeting with Chu Mingyu.
To be precise, he was still thinking about what Chu Mingyu said, that the Wang Puppet Regime, the Puppet Manchukuo and North Korea "aided" the Germans through the Siberian Railway.
Just as he asked Chu Mingyu at that time, the Siberian Railway was completely controlled by the Soviet Union, so how could it be used to transport supplies to the Germans?
Chu Mingyu hinted that his trip was for gilding:
He did not have to worry about the negotiations with Manchukuo. He could just attend the meeting as an observer and enjoy the credit and increase his experience.
It is precisely because of this that it seems to indicate that the Wang Puppet Regime, the Puppet Manchukuo or the Japanese really have control over the Siberian Railway?
At least they have ambitions for the Trans-Siberian Railway?
Is this the Japanese Kwantung Army's plan to tear up the "Japan-Soviet Neutrality Treaty" and take action against the Soviet Union? Seize the Siberian Railway from the Soviet Union, and then use this railway line to connect with the Germans and transport supplies to the Germans?
The more Cheng Qianfan thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility not only existed, but was even quite likely.
The diplomatic mission to the puppet state of Manchukuo, led by Chu Liuyan, Deputy Minister of Political Affairs of the Wang Puppet Ministry of Foreign Affairs, had a very rushed schedule.
Was this an emergency visit for some reason after the Germans took action against Soviet Russia?
This was the decision made by the Japanese to implement the northward strategy and take action against the Soviet Union. Before that, the Japanese had to integrate the Wang Puppet Regime, the Puppet Manchukuo and North Korea to make pre-war preparations for the Japanese side, or more precisely, for the Kwantung Army to attack the Soviet Union?
Cheng Qianfan thought again that just a few days before his visit, Heitaro Imamura had already arrived in the puppet state of Manchukuo.
Although according to Heitaro Imamura, he was going to Tokyo via Manchuria, this was just a rest stop along the way, nothing else.
However, the more Cheng Qianfan thought about it, the more he felt that Imamura Heitaro must have other purposes for staying in Manchukuo.
Considering the background of Heitaro Imamura and the Japanese Kwantung Army, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs arranged for this young senior diplomat to have a secret meeting with the Kwantung Army and then return directly to Tokyo, Japan. It is hard not to suspect that there is something fishy behind this.
Are the Japanese really determined to "advance northward"?
Cheng Qianfan fell into deep thought.

torture room.
Saegi Umezumi had a gloomy expression on his face as he looked at the unconscious man in front of him.
The man's face was swollen and his body was covered in blood. He had been tortured, but he just kept shouting that he was innocent and refused to confess anything.
"Lieutenant Colonel, is it possible that this person is really just an ordinary person?" Yuu Furuya asked in a low voice beside Sakami Umezu.
"Tell me the reasons why you made such a judgment." Sakami Umezumi looked at Furuya Yuu and said.
"Lieutenant Colonel, Shu Jincheng has been tortured for so long. If he had any problems, he would have spoken up long ago." Furuya Yuu said, "Even if he didn't speak up, you can more or less see that he is a member of the Red Party or Chongqing."
"However, this Shu Jincheng just cried out that he was innocent, and he looked like he was going crazy." Furuya Yuro said, "So I think this person is probably not a problem."
Saeki Umezumi chuckled and shook his head. He waved his hand and called a military policeman over to whisper something.
Ten minutes later, a man was brought in, tied up.
"Use torture." Saejo Umezumi nodded slightly, "Guoya-kun, we will go out first and come back in half an hour to check the situation."
"Ha!" Although Yuujiro Furuya was puzzled, he still followed Umezu Sakami out of the interrogation room.
……
Half an hour later.
Umezumi Sakami brought Yuurou Furuya back to the interrogation room.
"Lieutenant Colonel, this man has confessed. He is a member of Chongqing." Okubo Kumadai said, and as he spoke, he handed the confession he had just recorded to Sakami Umezumi.
Sakami Umezumi looked the man up and down and handed the confession to Furuya Yuu.
Yuurou Furuya took the confession and read it.
Min Jiuqi, a native of Nanshi, was a liaison officer of the Fourth Squadron of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics’ Su-Shanghai District Marching Brigade, responsible for the field transportation of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics’ Su-Shanghai District Marching Brigade in Nanshi.
"Lieutenant Colonel, this Min Jiuqi is a liaison officer of the Central Bureau of Investigation, and he is also a fish that slipped through the net in the Su-Hu District." Furuya Yuu said, he was excited, "There is actually a fish that slipped through the net in the Su-Hu District. I thought this Su-Hu District no longer existed."
The Su-Hu District of the Central Bureau of Investigation had been destroyed by its own side long ago following the surrender of Su Chende, the district chief of the Central Bureau of Investigation. After a large number of personnel from the Su-Hu District were arrested, it was immediately announced that it would "change its flag" and join No. 76 Jessfield Road. Unexpectedly, more than two years later, they were still able to catch the escaped fish in the Su-Hu District.
Yuu-ro Furuya poured a basin of water to wake the man up, and then asked him a few more questions, all of which were exactly the same as what he had confessed.
……
"Furuya-kun." Saejo Umezumi shook his head slightly and said to Furuya Yuurou, "Listen to what Okubo Kumadai has to say."
Yuu Furuya looked at Okubo Kumadai.
"Captain Furuya," Okubo Kumada said, "This man is an accountant who lives two blocks away. He was just captured."
He said to Furuya Yuro, "After being tortured, this accountant quickly collapsed and confessed everything I asked him to confess."
"What?" Yuujiro Furuya was shocked.
Then he looked carefully at the confession paper in his hand, and looked at Min Jiuqi again and again.
"Min Jiuqi..." Furuya Yongro said.
"The name is real, and it's also true that he's from Nanshi. The rest are just something I made up to force Min Jiuqi to admit and remember." Okubo Kumada said.
"I see, I see." Furuya Yuuji nodded repeatedly. He understood what Umezu Sakami meant.
"What the lieutenant colonel meant was that if Shu Jincheng was really an ordinary person, he would not suffer all kinds of torture and then just cry out that he was innocent. He should be willing to say everything, and might even make random accusations, just to stop being tortured," said Furuya Yuu-ro.
"So, how could there be no problems with Shu Jincheng?" Sasaki Umezu nodded slightly.
His eyes were fixed on the unconscious Shu Jincheng. His intuition and experience told him that there was something wrong with this Shu Jincheng, and he might even be a big fish.
"Continue the interrogation." Umezumi Saeaki said to Okubo Kumadai.
……
"I found out after asking." Huo Yongliang rushed back exhausted and reported to the instructor of the independent battalion.
"The instructor guessed correctly," Huo Yongliang said, "It's the Wu family compound."
He said to the instructor, "Dozens of people have moved into the Wu family compound. The Wu family has also ordered several banquets from the best Juxianlou in the county and sent them to the Wu family compound."
"Okay." Wang Jun nodded happily and asked, "Have you found out the identity and origin of this group of people?"
"The enemy was very vigilant. When the waiters from Juxianlou delivered the banquet to the Wu family compound, it was their people who brought the food and wine in themselves. Even the people from the Wu family compound were not allowed to enter the banquet room." Huo Yongliang said.
"The more vigilant the enemy is, the more it proves that this group of people are not simple." Wang Jun said, "It's a pity that these are just supporting evidence and we can't get any further intelligence."
"It's not all in vain." Huo Yongliang said with a smile, "There is a member of our group in Juxianlou. He delivered food to the Wu family compound. The people there said they liked a dish and asked how it was made. The Wu family asked him to stand at the door and introduce the dish."
"What did you hear? What did you see?" Wang Jun asked immediately.
"The people inside looked like important people. Most importantly, we couldn't understand what they said," Huo Yongliang said. "My friend said it sounded like the language of southern barbarians."
……
"Nanmanzi?" Wang Jun asked.
"That's what I said." Huo Yongliang nodded.
Wang Jun fell into deep thought. From the perspective of people from northwestern Shandong, the "Southern Barbarians" he referred to had a very broad scope.
"There's another one." Huo Yongliang said, "The guy said he saw someone wearing a badge."
"Badge, what badge?" Wang Jun asked immediately.
"They said it looked like a badge of Mr. Sun, the founding father of the country," Huo Yongliang said.
Wearing a badge of the founding father Dr. Sun Yat-sen?
Wang Jun frowned and thought.
He turned his head and looked at Meng Xinjia, "Captain Meng, tell me what you think."
"Instructor, no matter where they come from, they are definitely important people, there is no doubt about that." Meng Xinjia rubbed his hands and said, "Just tell me, should we fight or not? If we don't fight, we will retreat quickly. If we do fight, how should we fight?"
