Jiang Tianhe is a senior executive of the Military Control Commission, and Takao Harada is an important figure in the Japanese military. Such two people secretly met in Hong Kong far away from the center, and the meaning of this is extraordinary.

At first, Ning Zhiheng thought Jiang Tianhe was sent to Hong Kong by the bureau for the sake of drawings, but now it seems that things are not that simple.

Is it possible that Jiang Tianhe is rebelling and secretly seeking against the Japanese? But after thinking about it carefully, this possibility is not great. You must know that Jiang Tianhe is already a senior executive of the National Party’s intelligence department, and as far as Ning Zhiheng knows, this person’s ethics are still good, and the Japanese can buy him very little chips.

Secondly, if Jiang Tianhe really had a strange intention to come to Hong Kong this time, he would not stay in Yue Mansion. You should know that Yue Sheng has a close relationship with the bureau chief. Yue Mansion is equivalent to the branch of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Hong Kong. Since this is the case, it means that Jiang Tianhe is not a secret action alone. At least Yue Sheng is informed and his actions are approved by the bureau chief.

So why did he contact Takao Harada?

Ning Zhiheng recalled that Takao Harada was the peacemaker in the Japanese army. He always advocated peace talks with the Chongqing government, solving the Chinese issue in the shortest time, allowing the Japanese army to withdraw from China's quagmire, and make every effort to march to Southeast Asia, and complete Japan's idea of ​​dominating Asia.

When he was in Nanjing, he had a conversation with Gango Harada at Junhei Uehara's home. During the conversation, Gango Harada tried many times to convince himself, support his proposal, and prepared to contact the Chongqing government through his own channels to promote peace talks between the two sides. However, Junhei Uehara came forward and directly refused this matter for him.

Could it be that Gango Harada had connected with the Chongqing government through other channels, and the two sides left their sphere of influence and chose the British colony of Hong Kong to carry out this negotiation?

The more Ning Zhiheng thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right. If the situation was really as he had guessed, then Ning Zhiheng would never sit still.

Because he knew very well that the current situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan was severe. Under the pressure of the Japanese army, there were many people in the Chongqing government's top leaders who were weak in will and were willing to bow down and seek peace. It can even be said that there were many of these people, and many of them still had a great say.

Even the director himself, or even the leader, what was the real thought in his heart? It was not something Ning Zhiheng could guess.

However, for a long time, under the call of the people of the whole country to resist the war, some people dare not take the blame for the world, but it is entirely possible to have other actions in private.

It can be imagined that if an agreement is really reached, with the current situation of the war, the Japanese still have an advantage, and the Chongqing government will inevitably make great concessions, lose power and humiliate the country, and the national interests will definitely be damaged.

From Ning Zhiheng's standpoint, it was a life-and-death battle with the Japanese, and there was no room for compromise, so no matter what, he had to destroy this peace talks.

However, Ning Zhiheng was also very clear that Jiang Tianhe must be arranged by the bureau chief behind him, and he could not be completely sure what the bureau chief's purpose was, so he could not really force himself, nor could he reveal his whereabouts. Otherwise, he would be hated and would not be worth the loss. There must be skills in this, which can not only destroy this peace talks, but also put himself out of the matter.

Thinking of this, he ordered: "Be careful when monitoring them, so that they cannot detect our existence."

"yes!"

"Yes!" Ji Hongyi, Shen Xiang and others accepted the order in unison.

At the same time, in Yue Mansion, Yue Sheng was also talking to Jiang Tianhe in a low voice.

"How is it? Is there any progress in today's talks?" Yue Sheng asked.

Jiang Tianhe shook his head and said angrily: "What progress can be made? It's just him who told him. I said mine. When it comes to the conversation, everyone pretends to be stupid, but they just do it perfunctorily. This Harada Gango still thinks that my status is low and he refuses to give it a solid foundation. I don't think there is anything to talk about!"

He has held many talks with Japan over the past period of time, but the differences between the two sides are too great. Relying on Japan's military advantages, Takao Harada spoke up and made many requests. Jiang Tianhe naturally refused harshly. Anyway, his purpose was not here, just drag it on.

Yue Sheng frowned and asked, "The Japanese have too much appetite, are they unwilling to withdraw their troops?"

In fact, Yue Sheng still has great hope for this meeting. After all, his foundation is in Shanghai. He has been wandering abroad in recent years. It seems that the rootless Ping can end the war one day earlier and return to his hometown. He can't be a residence in Hong Kong for the rest of his life!

Jiang Tian said softly: "It's not just a big appetite, it's simply ignorant. First of all, let's admit that Manchukuo has ceded the Northeast in a grand manner? Which government dares to agree? Who dares to be this sinner forever?

Also, if the Japanese army is allowed to station troops in Mongolia and North China, it is a joke. This is not that the entire northern region has been cut off, so we will only have half of the country left.

The most important thing is that it is ridiculous to let us work together with the Nanjing government to live in peace! Don’t you know that there is no day and no two masters in the earth? In this way, where will the leader be? Where will the central government be? Can the superior agree?”

"The Japanese have broken brains? This is not a negotiation, it is simply persuading surrender!" Yue Sheng was speechless when he heard this. The Japanese wanted to take advantage of the benefits. How could such a good thing happen in the world?

Jiang Tianhe waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, he asked for a lot of money, and I paid back the money locally, but I was just having fun. The order given to me by the headquarters was also to find out the true intentions of Japan. Through these contacts, I have touched some situations."

“What’s the situation?”

"The Japanese are anxious! Harada Takao was eager to contact the senior management and urged me to report to the superiors many times and sent more important personnel to conduct in-depth talks. He even said that Jiro Itagaki was willing to go to Changsha to meet in person. It can be seen that they had lost patience with this war and could not wait to withdraw. This is good news for us."

Further contact with the senior management of the Chongqing government and promoting the negotiation process is just a wishful thinking of Japan. Now that the two sides are in private contact, the Kuomintang is still cautious, fearing that they will be afraid of the enemy and treason. How could it be possible for the top management of Japan to enter the Kuomintang-controlled area openly and stubbornly, and it is well known to everyone.

Yue Sheng couldn't help but say happily: "That's how the Japanese can't stand it anymore. This is indeed good news. Our country has a vast territory and a population of dozens of times that of theirs. Life will drag them to death."

"Yes, the situation has improved slightly this year. The Japanese attack is weak and everyone is stalemate. But now the Yunnan-Burma Highway has been cut off. We are too struggling. If we can find the drawings this time, we will have the capital to negotiate with the British. Brother Yue Sheng, you still have to hurry up on this matter. This is the most important thing!"

Jiang Tianhe was most concerned about the drawings. Looking at Yue Sheng, he couldn't help but urge him again.

Yue Sheng quickly said, "Tianhe, I'm about to tell you that the British have been doing a lot these days and are looking for people to inquire about investigations. Just today, they suddenly arrested several crew members of the Notting. I wonder why they did this?"

"What, did you catch someone?" Jiang Tianhe straightened up and asked in surprise, "Is it going to tear apart with the French?"

Yue Sheng explained: "That's not. As far as I know, they did not arrest French crew members, but only arrested several Hong Kong employees. These people are not French nationality, but just a few protests, but I don't know the reason for them."

"Is there any other news?" Jiang Tianhe asked.

"Also, news came from the police station that two people were missed during the arrest, and the British had ordered them to cooperate with the arrest."

"Two escaped?"

"Yes, one of them is Lu Zhanfei and the other is Zhong Ren, both of them are natives from Hong Kong and are now gone without a trace. I have already spoken out and must find them in front of the British. If you are lucky, the drawings may be in their hands."

Jiang Tianhe nodded, let out a light breath, and said solemnly: "I finally have some clues, so I'll ask you, Brother Yue Sheng, I hope everything goes well."

In the early morning of the night, under the dark night, two figures floated in the water on the sea near the dock pier, approaching the Notting cruise liner bit by bit.

This dock is a dry dock with landing on three sides and facing water. Its basic components are the dock entrance, the dock room and the dock head. There is a water barrier door at the dock entrance to drain the water in the dock and control the mooring ships.

Feizai and Aren were familiar with the terrain of the dock. They knew that there must be British guards near the dock, and they didn't have time to figure out the situation, so they gave up getting close from land, calculated the time of high tide, and ventured to get off the nearby coast, approached the dock by sea, avoided the guards, and then sneaked into the Notting.

However, this plan requires good water quality. Fortunately, both of them have been wandering on the sea all year round. The water quality is very good. Everything is as expected, and it is smoothly approaching. After passing the dock gate, it sneaks into the dock.

The four sides were pitch black, and it was quiet and chilling. Seeing that nothing was strange, the two of them felt relieved. Then they knew the way and soon entered the interior of the passenger ship.

The crew members smuggled goods for many years and had their own tricks. Their goods were hidden in the bottom cabin, which was difficult for ordinary people to find.

The two of them quickly came to the bottom cabin, took out the flashlight from the oil cloth she was carrying, took out the key and opened a utility room, pushing open the gadget piled up outside, revealing a small pile of cargo covered by oil cloth inside.
