1928: The rise of giant merchants

Minglou hurriedly arrived at the privately agreed meeting place, a coffee shop with few customers in the public concession.

Ye Luo had already led others to wait in the private room. When they saw him coming, they immediately shook hands and said hello.

"Second Young Master, I have infiltrated the Japanese spy agency in Shanghai through Eiichi Iwai's relationship. In order to sell the Hongkou Dojo to you as soon as possible, they are transferring a large amount of confidential information and assets day and night."

Minglou took off his felt hat, sat down, took a sip, and drank the coffee like water. It was obvious how shocked he was by the information he found out.

"At first, they didn't let us Chinese spies participate in the document transfer at all. I tested Eiichi Iwai's tone several times, and he was also vague. He only said that the information involved the list of Japanese spies and was very important."

"Well, there are at least a thousand Japanese spies in our country. If you can find a group, you can peel off the cocoons and find a large group. This will be a real heavy blow to them. It is impossible for you to get this list."

Ye Luo nodded and said,

"Then what?"

"I've got the list." Minglou suddenly said.

"." Ye Luo was stunned and looked at Minglou. To be honest, he was surprised.

He knew that Minglou was extremely capable as a spy and was still active in this position after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but he did not expect that Minglou was so powerful!

"A few days ago, probably the most important batch of confidential documents had been transferred. Okamoto Shisan suddenly summoned a large number of officials from the Consulate General in Shanghai and asked them to send people to help transport other documents, striving to complete them before the end of August. Finish."

Minglou said with excitement on his face,

"Eiichi Iwai immediately came to me and said that participating in this operation would not only gain huge benefits, but also allow me to show up within the secret service and gain the favor of senior officials, which would be of great benefit to my future promotion."

"He is really good to you." Ye Luo said with emotion.

"They are just using each other. Most of these Japanese invaders are gentlemen on the surface, but they are still wolves and beasts at heart. If they really want to make friends with me, why would they ask me to work in the secret service?"

Minglou sneered, his position was very firm,

"And he is such a good Japanese. He should stay in the country and should not come to China at such a sensitive moment."

"It's good if you can think clearly." Ye Luo chuckled. Many spies were convinced by them after being Japanese puppets for a long time, and instead became spies here.

Although he knew that Minglou would most likely not be like this, he still tested it just in case.

Minglou's expression and tone didn't seem to be fake.

"I participated in their activities a few days ago. The internal documents of the Hongkou Dojo were disguised as military supplies. Following the last batch of Japanese troops who had not evacuated, they planned to leave from Shiliupu Pier. Because they are military troops, our customs You can’t search it, it’s absolutely foolproof.”

Minglou lamented that a weak country has no diplomacy. It is obvious that other people's troops have withdrawn from our land, but they still show off their power and do nothing to them.

"During this process, I obtained several quite confidential documents, so I came to see you immediately."

He took out the document and handed it to Ye Luo.

One is a detailed list of Japanese spies (personnel in Shanghai), one is a detailed list of Japanese spies (personnel in China), and the other is the military's special operations plan.

The second list is not complete. It lists people in China. In fact, most of them are spies from the south.

But there are nearly a thousand of these people alone.

These Japanese were distributed in all walks of life, and almost none of the consuls general and diplomatic officials were spared.

Just like what Minglou said, if they were good Japanese, they should not come to China at this time. People who come to China are basically inseparable from the military department.

"Have you given these lists to them?" Ye Luo asked.

Minglou smiled awkwardly and answered.

"That's fine, but I took a quick look and found that many of the characters above are too important. If something happens, the principal's 'bandit-suppression' campaign will only get worse. I advise them to think twice before taking action."

Ye Luoti nodded.

The underground organization is not yet established, and is exhausted in the principal's "bandit suppression". This kind of list can only be used to guard against it, and it is impossible to assassinate the people on it.

Minglou nodded and said, "I have already told them about this. Thank you, Second Young Master, for reminding me."

"Well, I will take the time to deal with a batch of these people as a warning to the Japanese invaders. However, this may also lead to the risk of exposing your identity. You should be careful."

Ye Luo added that he actually didn't care about these Japanese spies.

The political struggle is extremely cruel, but the beneficiaries and victims are politicians and have little to do with businessmen like him. He does not want to pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon, which will harm Minglou.

Minglou was a little touched and nodded: "I know, Second Young Master, don't worry."

"The third combat plan is incredible." Ye Luo looked through it. To most forces, this information was worth a fortune, but to him it was actually quite useless.

As a time traveler, he knows the historical trends and details better than anyone else.

"Yes. I didn't expect the Japanese invaders to have such sinister and vicious intentions!" Minglou nodded.

The third combat plan is mainly a surprise attack plan by the Japanese military targeting the north.

In December, the Japanese invaders will target Jehol.

During the Republic of China, there were four provinces in the north. Now, except for Rehe, the Japanese have occupied the other three provinces. After swallowing Rehe, they will have complete control of the north.

In December, the seemingly deadlocked Kwantung Army will attack Shanhaiguan in a big way, and will gather the navy, army and air force, openly evacuate the local Japanese expatriates, and then launch a war.

It is not news that the Japanese want to attack Rehe, and Shanhaiguan is also the first battlefield.

The key is that no one can estimate the specific time of the Japanese invasion.

This combat plan clearly states the time, place and process. If it can be given to Zhang Hanqing in advance, it will definitely play a big role.

Unfortunately, the Kwantung Army at that time was no longer the Kwantung Army of the Fengtian Incident. They gathered the navy, army and air force, and basically attacked with all their strength. Even if you have an early warning, you can't beat them.

This is the gap in hard power.

In the original history, Shanhaiguan was broken after only three days. The principal's national army, Feng Yan's Northwest Army and Zhang Hanqing's Northern Army jointly defended the Great Wall, but still could not resist the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and finally ended the war with the humiliating "Tanggu Agreement".

After the Japanese army captured Rehe, they headed straight for Beijing and Tianjin. The war broke out again, which was a full-scale war of resistance.

I just hope that this plan will be given to Zhang Hanqing. The brave resistance of the Republic of China army can seriously damage the vitality of the Japanese invaders and delay the time of full-scale invasion.

"You take one copy of this plan and I take one copy. Then don't come to me again in the near future." Ye Luo gave him the last instruction, "I will deal with the spies and the Japanese troops evacuated from Shilipu Wharf."

"Yes." Minglou was relieved when he heard this.

He is just a spy and can't play a role in the front battlefield, but big capitalists like Ye Luo are different.

Once the war starts, the money of the big capitalists is the military rations, guns and bullets of the front army. If Ye's investment is willing to support the war, it will have the effect of turning the situation around like the Battle of Songhu!

Everyone knows that the second young master is the least short of money, even the money for the war! (End of this chapter)
