The war in Europe entered a short period of rest. France, once the strongest country in the army, raised the white flag within a month, and the British and French forces staged a transfer in Dunkirk that was very similar to the Yijiangmen retreat. More than 300,000 elite army troops were surrounded by German mechanized troops on the beach of Dunkirk. There were countless baggage and heavy weapons among them, but there was no support from the air. In time, they will definitely become the most popular among the German army. 's feast.

But history is so good at performing such plays that even first-rate screenwriters cannot write. Just when hundreds of thousands of British and French troops were crying out every day and the ground was not responding, the German army suddenly stopped attacking. Their top decision-maker It hopes to use a political offensive to force the British government to return to the negotiating table. At the same time, it can avoid the Royal Navy, which the British are proud of, and avoid more losses.

As a result, the new British government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Churchill, mobilized all available ships in the British Isles, including private yachts and fishing boats, to cross the English Channel and bring more than 300,000 coalition soldiers who had lost hope. Returning to the British mainland also preserved energy for the subsequent battles.

Japan in Asia is intoxicated by the impressive achievements of its European allies, and is also uncontrollably ready to move. The Kwantung Army is like a well-springed war machine, starting large-scale mobilization and preparations for war, and a continuous flow of various materials and resources. Arriving at the front line, this caused Russia to panic. The Far East troops originally planned to be transferred to the European defense line have yet to take action. The cracking of the Ramza intelligence team also made it temporarily impossible for Russia to obtain the latest Japanese military intelligence. The Far East The situation is about to break out.

In this situation, the happiest people are undoubtedly the Americans. Hong Chawei approached Lin Xiaotang several times and wanted him to confirm the Japanese military's final strategic decision, even if there were some slight changes. Lin Xiaotang even doubted whether these Americans were In deceiving themselves and others, a trivial little move by the Japanese made them so excited. The Americans, who had always prided themselves on being smart and capable, seemed to have their collective brains flooded. They seemed to want to applaud the Kwantung Army's march northward all the time. .

Lin Xiaotang himself did not think he had the ability to make the highest-level strategic decisions of the Japanese army. However, in the current situation, based on the capabilities of the Americans, it is not difficult to see that the Japanese were bluffing. The Kwantung Army clearly planned to mobilize, but the Japanese expatriates on the border were too late to mobilize. There has been no evacuation and retreat. In recent years, due to the intense fighting on the Sino-Japanese battlefield, nearly one-third of the elite Kwantung Army has been mobilized. If the Japanese army wants to maintain the offensive momentum on the battlefield, it will inevitably mobilize more troops in the future. Entering the Pass, let me ask, under such circumstances, does the Kwantung Army still have the strength to face the hundreds of thousands of Red Army forces in the Far East?

Moreover, Lin Xiaotang has clearly told Hong Chawei that the current military production in Northeast China is almost saturated, and the lack of supplies is a well-known secret. It is not easy for the Japanese to launch a full-scale war. The reason why Takashimasuke wanted to invite Lin Xiaotang joined the material control plan of the three eastern provinces because he hoped to use Shanghai as a platform to purchase a large amount of strategic materials to supplement the Kwantung Army, so as to ensure its combat effectiveness. At this time, how could the Kwantung Army alone have enough strength to fight alone? against powerful Russia.

But the Americans turned a blind eye to all this. They just wanted to direct the Japanese attention to the Far East. For this reason, they were willing to give in repeatedly.

…

Since An Yiming met with Nakanishi Gong, he knew that the other party was determined to die. An Yiming was originally wary of these Japanese *** members, but they showed calmness in the face of danger and death. He Jueran made him sincerely admire and moved.

After the correspondent and operator died, An Yiming's team was left with only him and one assistant. His assistant was named Chen Asi, who worked as the foreman in the bar of Huizhong Hotel. Now, they have lost contact with their superiors. Pan Zhongzhi, as the top leader of the Shanghai underground party, is currently not in Shanghai, and An Yiming does not have the authority or means to contact him. As for Tachibana Osamu, he does not originally belong to the underground organization of the Communist Party. He is just A friend of Ozaki Hidemi and Nakanishi Isao, he provided secret protection for them as a member of the Black Dragon Society, and An Yoshiaki did not even know of his existence.

When An Yiming saw Chen Asi, he saw deep worry in his eyes. He understood that at this time, no one could remain as calm as they should. An Yiming and Chen Asi were hiding on the side of the stage. In the corner, a cigarette was lit, and no one spoke for a while.

"I am innocent." Chen Asi suddenly spoke.

An Yiming nodded, "We are all innocent."

"But the organization may not think so." Chen Asi sucked the cigarette on his finger. "All communication channels have been cut off. This shows that the superiors have begun to doubt us. I am not afraid of death, but I don't want to be punished as a Suspects should die."

An Yiming highlighted a smoke ring. The smoke ring swayed upwards, quickly deformed and dissipated. "If we do our job well, the organization will definitely give us an objective and fair evaluation."

An Yiming changed the topic, "The intelligence agent from Japan will arrive in Shanghai soon. He does not know everything that happened in Shanghai, and the organization has no way to notify him. Therefore, he will contact us as soon as he arrives in Shanghai. We want to ensure the security of intelligence, and as long as we can send the intelligence out, our mission will be accomplished."

Chen Asi nodded heavily, "How do I contact you?"

"The missing persons contact notice board in front of the French Concession Public Security Bureau." An Yiming said.

…

Tachibana Osamu shook his head and rejected Lin Xiaotang's idea. He was not Pan Zhongzhi's subordinate, but a friend of Ozaki Hidemi and Nakanishi Isao. An Yoshiaki has currently lost contact with his superiors, and he is also unable to contact Shanghai** The news of the arrest of Ozaki Hidemi, an underground organization of the Japanese Communist Party, has been confirmed by Nakanishi Ko, and the messenger he sent was about to arrive in Shanghai. It was at this time that the team responsible for the response, An Yoshiaki, had an accident. At this time, How can we safely send intelligence out of Shanghai?

"An Yiming doesn't trust me very much. After all, we are on two separate lines. There are some things I can only do secretly." Lin Xiaotang expressed his difficulties tactfully, "But please don't worry, as long as I am capable I will not hesitate to do anything within the scope of the matter."

Governor Tachibana nodded approvingly, "Mr. Pan told me that you are our most trustworthy friend. I have never doubted this. The most important thing at the moment is that we must help An Yoshiaki to be safe and sound." The messenger picked up and quickly delivered the information."

"Leave this to me. I will arrange manpower to support the major terminals in Shanghai. I need you to provide a list of ships that have recently arrived in Shanghai from Japan. The more detailed the better."

Tachibana Osamu nodded, this was not a problem for him.

"And the most important point is that An Yiming's group had an accident and two members were sacrificed. All this was done jointly by the Special High School and No. 76. That day at the dog racing track, my men discovered The person who killed correspondent An Yiming."

"Who is it?" Tachibana Haru's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.

"It's An Yiming's girlfriend, the woman named Huanyan."

Tachibana Osamu's hand shook, spilling a lot of tea in his hand, "Could it be that she is a Japanese insider?"

Lin Xiaotang shook his head, "I don't think so. At that time, An Yiming's correspondent had been targeted by the Japanese. If she hadn't taken decisive action, the Japanese would have probably discovered the connection between the correspondent and An Yiming. So, she was Save An Yiming."

…

"It's been five years, this is the second time you've come to my place." In the Changjiu Department Store in Zhabei, shopkeeper Qian looked at Huan's face, which was obviously different from the light make-up in the past, and couldn't help but say with deep emotion.

"Your mission has been completed long ago, why are you still unwilling to leave Shanghai?" Shopkeeper Qian said quietly.

Huanyan's expression dimmed, but she still shook her head resolutely.

"You are the first intelligence agent I received after coming here. For so many years, we have been in single-line contact. The owners of Shanghai Station have changed one after another. Only the two of us have always stayed here. I would like to advise you. In a sentence, the situation in Shanghai will get worse and worse. You are a meritorious official. I can contact Chongqing and tell the current boss Lin. Both of them can arrange for you to leave Shanghai and live any life you want. "

Huanyan's face suddenly showed a strange blush, and she said nothing.

Shopkeeper Qian sighed and stood up, "I understand, a hero is short of breath, but a son and a daughter are long in love. There is no escape from the word love at any time."

"Whatever you want me to do, just say it directly." Shopkeeper Qian continued.

"I want two ferry tickets. I can go anywhere. I know you must have a way. If you leave, I can only go with him." Huanyan finally spoke.

Shopkeeper Qian nodded, "I have only opened this place twice, once by you, and the other time I opened it, I met my current boss. In these years, because you are in Shanghai, I feel less lonely. Back then, I didn't Thinking that my daughter will also enter this industry, today, I am very happy that she can make the decision to leave..."

Shopkeeper Qian paused for a moment and said decisively: "Don't worry, I've left the boat tickets to me. You can pick them up at the locker at the City Cinema at noon the day after tomorrow. Remember, you must leave Shanghai and take good care of yourself in the future. It’s up to you to go.”

Huanyan's eyes were red. She wanted to say words of gratitude, but found that she couldn't say anything. She stood in front of Shopkeeper Qian in a daze, bent her legs and knelt down, but Shopkeeper Qian suddenly turned around and turned his back. He waved his hand gently to her, "Go and don't come back again."

Huanyan kowtowed three times respectfully at Shopkeeper Qian's back, then stood up and walked out.
