"Sir Iwabuchi, we are here."

"This is where?"

"Military command?"

"where?"

"To be precise, the Shanghai District Headquarters of the Military Command Bureau."

"Baga, who are you?"

"Me? I'm sorry, the name Uchiha Sasuke is really unpleasant. My name is Meng Shaoyuan."

…

On May 9, 1939, a shocking case occurred in Shanghai that was unknown to outsiders but was enough to cause an uproar:

Five people including Eri Iwabuchi, assistant director of the Financial Control Bureau of the Ministry of Finance, Onishi Taro, deputy president of the Bank of Japan, the Bank of Japan, and Korekiyo Tomita, a banknote expert at the Bank of Japan, were secretly kidnapped!

Shocking.

The sky collapsed.

Yingzuo Zhenzhao received a "generous gift" after he just took office as the top leader of the Shanghai Intelligence Agency!

It is said that after receiving the news, Yingzuo Zhenzhao almost fainted.

The sky collapsed and the earth cracked.

The expert group was completely destroyed!

…

"I want to assassinate Wang Jingwei!"

That day, Meng Shaoyuan said this: "This old guy is like a turtle with a shrunken head. The Japanese are heavily protecting him. If he asks me to trade my life for a loss-making business that I may not be able to get in return, I won't do it!"

"I see."

Wu Jingyi finally understood: "You keep sending so-called assassination teams and making noises just to attract the attention of the Japanese?"

Meng Shaoyuan nodded proudly.

Wu Jingyi was a little confused: "But what is the purpose of doing this?"

"I want to take action against the Japanese financial expert group!"

"Japanese financial expert group? We have not received this information."

"You don't have it, I have it!"

"Where did you get the information?"

Meng Shaoyuan did not answer, he smiled.

…

In 1938, holiday circles began to appear in Shanghai.

Japan's Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan requested Shanghai to launch a comprehensive investigation.

However, at that time, the Japanese intelligence agencies went all out to deal with military reunification and ignored this request.

In their view, investigating the source of counterfeit currency has nothing to do with them.

In April 1939, a large number of counterfeit Japanese yen notes were circulated in Shanghai again.

On the basis that communication with the intelligence agencies was hopeless, the Ministry of Finance formed a separate team of financial experts and rushed to Shanghai to investigate.

This expert team arrived in Shanghai in early May. At this time, Wang Jingwei also arrived in Shanghai.

From the perspective of Japanese intelligence agencies, this is the top priority.

The Japanese intelligence agency in Shanghai and the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai went all out to deal with Wang Jingwei's open rebellion and surrender to the enemy.

The expert group was ignored and ignored in the Japanese Concession for five days.

Eventually, the investigation was hastily concluded.

This also caused serious conflicts between the Ministry of Finance and the Japanese Army.

A series of hidden dangers for the Japanese Army in the future were laid at this time.

The Japanese Army is a pauper, and they have constant quarrels with the government over military expenditures every year, because even if the Minister of War wants to increase the groceries by one cent for soldiers, he has to bang the table in Congress and yell loudly.

However, after the so-called "Shanghai Incident", the Ministry of Finance became more and more obstructive on the issue of army military expenditures. Even the funds that have been passed by Congress will be delayed again and again.

The Ministry of Finance has adopted a comprehensively tilted attitude towards the navy on the issue of military expenditures.

And even the top brass of the Japanese Army are still paupers.

Masanobu Tsuji, the "Jackal Staff Officer" of the Japanese Army, visited the Combined Fleet Commander of the Japanese Navy, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, during the Battle of Guadalcanal.

Yamamoto Isoroku hated Tsuji Masanobu very much, so he planned to take the opportunity to humiliate him when entertaining Tsuji Masanobu.

So Tsuji Masanobu ate an ordinary soldier's meal during the meal, which included polished rice, miso soup, side dishes, fish, and even sake.

This meal made Tsuji Masanobu burst into tears and even said that he should not speak ill of the navy.

This matter made Yamamoto Isoroku puzzled for a long time. Finally he figured out that the army could not eat fish at all, so the meals of the navy soldiers became a supreme delicacy.

Others don't know these things, but one person knows it clearly:

Meng Shaoyuan!

…

Meng Shaoyuan sped up the whole matter.

Ji Yunqing is an accelerator.

This was a plan designed by Meng Shaoyuan early in the morning.

He controls the counterfeit banknote market in Shanghai and even the whole country.

After the frequent use of counterfeit banknotes last year, he ordered a temporary suspension of use in order to avoid stimulating Shanghai's economy.

When Wang Jingwei was preparing to flee Vietnam, Meng Shaoyuan's long-planned plan finally began to be implemented.

Through Ji Yunqing's hand, he put 480,000 holiday dollars into the market.

First, he was able to defraud him out of 120,000 US dollars.

The second is to use Ji Yunqing to ensure the success of the Japanese financial expert group.

May 1939 was a great opportunity given by God.

Too many things will happen in Shanghai this month.

Doihara Kenji is gone, and Kage Sasaki is here.

But at the most critical moment of the handover, Wang Jingwei also came.

There is nothing more important than protecting Wang Jingwei.

Meng Shaoyuan revealed to the newspaper the exact time of Wang Jingwei's arrival in Shanghai.

Public opinion was in an uproar for a while, which also made Yingzuo Zhenzhao feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

He didn't even dare to let Wang Jingwei leave "Mingguang Pill" and deployed a large number of manpower to protect him.

Another very important point is that the previous deaths of Yanagawa Yasumi and others dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese intelligence agency in Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan alone is equal to an army.

When this "most powerful agent on the surface" released the news that he wanted to assassinate Wang Jingwei, and made frequent moves, the Japanese were on the verge of panic.

The Nationalist Government assassinated Wang Jingwei once in Hanoi and almost succeeded.

Now that Wang Jingwei has arrived in Shanghai, and the military command has their ace agent Meng Shaoyuan, how could they not take action?

Almost everyone thinks so.

However, Meng Shaoyuan himself was not even remotely interested in assassinating Wang Jingwei.

He has more interesting things:

Put several senior financial officials of the Japanese government in one pot!

We took action when the Japanese intelligence agency in Shanghai was at its most chaotic.

After everything was ready, he did the last two crucial things.

The first is to ask Tian Qi to find a way to enter Chongguang Hall, call the expert team from within, and tell them that there will be a dedicated team responsible for cooperating with the expert team to investigate.

After Kenji Doihara left Shanghai in a hurry and in embarrassment, the Shigekodo Hall was in the most chaos. People were transferred one after another, a large amount of documents were backlogged, and countless cases were not handled at all.

Whether it was No. 76 or the Intelligence Headquarters, no one paid any attention to when they reported to Chongguang Hall and requested supplies. No one paid attention to when so-and-so came and when they left.

Kenji Doihara left, Yasumi Yanagawa died, and Koichi Hahara and others were transferred.

Who is in charge?

Then, Meng Shaoyuan did the second thing:
To be continued...
