Chapter 233 Looking at Taiwan
Chapter 233 Looking at Taiwan
In the dimly lit secret room, Wu Funing and Zhang Fengyuan were both there. They were accompanying Zhong Yang, sitting at a small round table discussing something. This secret room is located in the own warehouse of Yongxing Commercial Bank in the inventory area. It is remote and sparsely populated, which is very beneficial for confidentiality work.
In the past few days, Zhong Yang instructed Wu Funing and Zu Jie to transport many machinery and equipment needed by the intelligence department from the Asian space. The small kerosene generator is powerful enough to afford the current power consumption needs of the entire intelligence department, signal transmission devices, and electronic information processing systems, all of which can operate normally.
In order to better promote intelligence spy, Zhong Yang specially equipped Wu Funing and others with the most advanced spy technology products of the entire era, various ultra-micro eavesdropping devices, trackers, pinhole cameras placed in the watch, and even directional infrasonic transmitters that look like a small flashlight.
Various long and short guns, including the new assault rifle HK-416 that the army has not yet officially equipped, as well as various single-handled submachine guns and pistols with own mufflers. Large-caliber anti-equipment sniper rifles are of course essential and suitable for assassinating targets of hostile forces.
The most powerful one should be Wu Funing and his top equipment. The polymer inner armor and alloy horizontal knife produced in the smart factory to consume authority values - a powerful weapon that can arbitrarily cut most objects on the earth.
Wu Funing, who has undergone the second stage of biological body transformation, can undoubtedly exert strong lethality when performing intelligence work. Although the gun is easy to use, it may not necessarily completely replace the role of cold weapons, especially "Earth Demons" like Wu Funing who have received professional assassination training and have undergone biological body transformation.
"Sir, I don't understand why you didn't win over Du Yuesheng. Although Mr. Zhang Taiyan is a master of the literary world, if you really want to talk about your actual influence, Du Yuesheng won so much. Especially when carrying out intelligence work in Shanghai, if we can get help from the Qing Gang, all our actions will go a lot."
Sitting at the round table, Zhang Fengyuan asked carefully. In this place, he didn't have to call Zhong Yang "Mr.", but instead changed to the respectful title of "Master". As the core intelligence officer of the underground palace, Zhang Fengyuan certainly knew Zhong Yang's true identity, and he did not dare to neglect anything.
To be honest, although more than eight years have passed, as Zhong Yang’s own private underground armed organization, the power and experience in the shadows have indeed made great progress. However, there is still a long way to go from what he expects in his heart. Not only is the lack of experience in details, but also the overall perspective of intelligence workers’ cognition is also uneven.
However, this is not a fatal impact. Zhong Yang smiled: "Du Yuesheng is indeed one of the few outstanding people in the world. If he were born in ancient times, he would definitely be one of the true dragons who had the hope of stabilizing the position of the Supreme Emperor. If he had not been from the underworld and had no knowledge accumulation, it would be hard to say how far he could do now."
"Then why don't you consider recruiting him? The Qing Gang disciples have hundreds of thousands, and although they may not have much combat power, this kind of secret influence and intelligence collection and transmission ability is exactly what we urgently need." As early as a few years ago, Zhang Fengyuan came to Shanghai in the name of doing business, and this Eastern Magic City, whose name resounds throughout the world.
However, after several years of continuous hard work and accumulation, the development of intelligence work is still difficult, and forces of all sizes are mixed. What's more, this is not under the rule of the Southern Union. Without the care of political forces and military strength, it is difficult to even gain a foothold with such a small number of people and time.
Looking at the depression on his subordinates' faces, Zhong Yang certainly understood the difficulty of intelligence work. What's more, the first phase of the Japanese military operation will be launched soon, and Zhong Yang has too little time left for Wu Funing and Zhang Fengyuan. This eagerness and urgency really makes it difficult for many people to adapt.
"Personally, of course I am willing to be friends with people like Du Yuesheng, and it is not impossible to even let Yongxing Commercial Bank cooperate with the Qinggang. But when it comes to recruiting, it is impossible."
"What do you mean by sir?" Zhang Fengyuan still didn't understand. His main focus was still on opening up the intelligence situation as soon as possible.
"What do you say? Funing." Turning his head, staring at Wu Funing's eyes with a smile, Zhong Yang's words mean something.
"According to the judgment of his subordinates, is the adults concerned about being the guest?" Wu Funing Gongjin replied. Although he was born in the welfare home, he was an extremely smart person. He also received professional intelligence and knowledge training in the secret school inside the welfare home. He not only had excellent military power, but also had outstanding wisdom and strategy.
From Zhong Yang's words, he easily analyzed some information, as well as Zhong Yang's thoughts and attitudes.
"It's almost like that. The strength of the Qing Gang seems too strong for the underground palace. Moreover, Du Yuesheng has great ambitions and ambitions, and is not willing to be inferior. In addition, he is a gangster and the Qing Gang has complex strength. Even if he can absorb such a group into the Southern Union, even if he can get temporary benefits, he will suffer endless disasters."
Zhong Yang saw this kind of thing very clearly. Of course, it is difficult to eliminate underground groups such as gangs, but they must try to suppress their scale. Qing Gang produced Du Yuesheng, and his disciples and followers were spread all over China, and even abroad, there were many shadows of these people.
Zhong Yang doesn't want to have too deep relationship with such a force. It has nothing to do with whether Du Yuesheng loves or not. It is because of sharp opposition to each other's interests. Du Yuesheng, who started his business with pornography, gambling and drugs, has too deep imprints on the gangsters. Even in the original history, he has not been able to get rid of his identity as a gangster godfather.
Patriots may not be a good person. Nanyang United needs to build a new social system, and heroes like the three Shanghai tycoons with a strong sense of the old era are born to exclude each other.
Seeing that Zhong Yang was firm in his attitude, Zhang Fengyuan didn't say much. As a subordinate, he should certainly make reasonable suggestions and do his duty. But the judgment and choices are always the attitude of the superiors. You should know that the underground palace is not an official institution, but a private armed organization.
Such an organization naturally exists only for the will of a person, that is, Zhong Yang.
For five days, Zhong Yang and Wu Funing were busy building intelligence stations. Zhong Yang planned to fill in the lack of networks and information channels with the power of technology, and to use the technological power far beyond this era to gain space for himself to survive.
Just one week after coming to Shanghai, Zhong Yang had just finished dinner from Zhang's house. As the driver, Wu Funing had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
Because autumn is approaching, the sky is dark earlier than before, and the drooping and dull night gradually enveloped Shanghai, a big city with old and new alternating new things. There was a cool feeling in the evening breeze, and Zhong Yang was wearing a few black windbreakers.
As soon as I got on the bus, I heard Wu Funing report to him: "Sir, I have contacted people from the Taiwanese anti-Japanese organization. However, from the attitude of those people, I don't seem to trust us, and I am not eager to support us in economic and military supplies."
Since the end of the Sino-Japanese War in 1894-1895, the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki made China lose the wealthy island in Taiwan and some archipelago groups in the surrounding areas. From then on, China lacked a "super warship" that would never be silent. When facing the maritime threats of the great powers, the pressure on coastal defense increased greatly.
After coming to this era, Zhong Yang also thought carefully about how to hold the Japanese back so that he could have more time to grow. The problems in the north are still not yet invasive, and the power there is deeply rooted, not a place where he can perform his fists.
After thinking about it, he set his sights on Taiwan, which made the intelligence personnel in the underground palace pay attention to this information. As expected, in Shanghai, Wu Funing and others found a group of representatives of anti-Japanese forces in Taiwan. Thanks to the help of the Japanese Embassy and Japanese spy agencies, these Taiwanese autonomous elements were forced into a desperate situation.
Otherwise, I would not have easily chosen to contact Wu Funing and the others.
"What do they think? You still need to discuss it yourself. I won't interfere with this matter." I didn't expect those people to do anything big, but they were just trying to cause trouble for the Japanese. After all, now that the ** Party is in such a Northern Expedition, the strength of the major warlords in the country has long been weak.
The first tentative attack of the Japanese Army will not be far away. Especially the arrogant Japanese Kwantung Army, the arrogant and arrogant thought style, has long caused the entire army to lose the rationality they should have. A group of low-level officers who have no vision are burning their own luck with the fearless courage of the ignorant.
It seems like the Soviet Union, Japan itself, and its redness continues to spread in the system. The army headquarters has developed abnormally, and has expanded its power to other classes in society. In a violent way of "lower defeating the upper and higher", it has destroyed those stable people who have different political views, especially civil officials.
This situation had already been deeply laid in the foreshadowing of the Shan County during the reign of Youwen.
After Ito was killed by the Korean assassin An Chonggen in 1909, Yama Prefecture finally became the number one giant in the Japanese military and political circles, and was like a sage. He often manipulated the political circles as veterans. He was still honest when Emperor Meiji was in power. When Emperor Taisho, he became rude. Even the crown prince Hirohito had to take care of the choice of concubine.
So Emperor Taisho was particularly annoyed at him, and when he saw his old face, he felt so fucked that he was not as good as food. On February 1, 1922, this "Imperial Army" leader who had a profound influence on modern Japanese history died in Odawara Koshinan at the age of 84. He wrote the "Yama Prefecture Apologetic Letter". However, the descendants of the "Imperial Army" he trained continued to be active and crazy in the Japanese military and political circles.
This group of people led the full-scale war between Japan and China, and threw the last trace of the entire Eastern civilization into the burning war and burned it all. China lost the opportunity to suppress redemption, the Chinese Taoist rule was cut off, and Japan also changed from an independent sovereign country to a dog raised by the United States.
From this we can see that the fundamental error of the concept of redemption is really impossible to find examples on the earth where the redemption system can have beneficial effects on the country. Wherever we go, it is killing, robbery, and destruction, not only material destruction, but also spiritual and cultural destruction.
As early as 1923, Zhong Yang ordered Zhou Hua to start collecting information about Taiwan. It was precisely because he knew some things that he was not interested in those anti-Japanese elements from Taiwan. Leaving the matter to Wu Funing for handling this showed his attitude.
After Jiannu ceded Taiwan to Japan in 1895, the Taiwanese became legal "Japanese". After the merger of Japan and South Korea in 1910, the Koreans also became legal "Japanese". Japan's rule over colonies such as Taiwan and North Korea is very different from the European colonial rule of Britain and France.
The British did not want to transform the Indians into British, but the Japanese tried to transform the Taiwanese and Koreans into Japanese. Because of the need for assimilation, Japan adopted a differential policy towards the Taiwanese and Koreans. However, after the war, the attitudes of Taiwanese and Koreans towards Japan were very different. The anti-Japanese sentiment of the Koreans was very strong, while the Taiwanese showed considerable pro-Japanese sentiment.
Moreover, since the armed guerrillas operating in the mountainous areas were completely wiped out by the Japanese army in 1915, the Taiwanese have turned to resist in a "legal" way. This large political and public opinion trend is difficult to reverse unless Zhong Yang is willing to support it at any cost.
But doing that would be like a comprehensive development with Japan now. After all, the other party’s spy agency is not just a bucket of food. In the rage, the three navy, army, air and military forces will be a devastating blow to the young Southern Union. Losing the war may not be necessary, but the foundation of the past decade will definitely be destroyed and a wedding dress for others.
This is not what Southern Union needs, nor what Zhong Yang needs. So now we can only take one step at a time. If things can be done, of course we will invest additionally. If things go wrong, the underground palace will definitely leave and stay out of the matter.
Zhong Yang actually understands the depressed anti-Japanese sentiment in Taiwan. No matter how moral public opinion is condemned, the Japanese are indeed much better at treating the Taiwanese than the Jiannu clan. The so-called compatriots are just a bullshit in this era. How could Jiannu treat the Han people as their own?
Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan did not expect to seize Taiwan from Jiannu. Therefore, for the sudden acquisition of Taiwan, Japan did not formulate a rule policy to govern Taiwan in a timely manner. However, the final fact proved that the IQ of the Jiannu Group had no bottom line.
The Treaty of Shimonoseki was finally signed, and Taiwan was handed over to others. From then on, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait were separated for a lifetime.
In the early days when the treasure island of Taiwan was just obtained, the more enlightened Japanese proposed to adopt the federal system of the United States and Germany, and regard Taiwan as an autonomous federation of Japan; the more conservative people proposed to drive away all the local residents of Taiwan and turn Taiwan into purely land for Japanese people. The Japanese government was unable to determine Taiwan's rule policy for the time being, so they had to adopt a "no-point" exploration policy.
After Goto Shinhei's sanctions rule, Taiwan now has basically been unable to use force to fight against Japan's cruel suppression, and had no choice but to choose a more "peaceful" move.
That is to seek Taiwan's autonomy in political status, but considering the requirement of complete autonomy, it will inevitably cause a strong reaction from Japan, attract severe suppression, and have a negative impact on the national liberation of the Taiwanese. Therefore, the focus of its political movement is to strive for the participation of the Taiwanese, and require the Japanese government to give Taiwanese people the same equal treatment as the Japanese.
Of course, these moderate reformists were not the goals that Zhong Yang strived for. What he wanted to incite were radical anti-Japanese elements. Even for more than ten years, under unprecedented military attacks, a large-scale rebel army was rarely seen. But this does not mean that there were no individuals or organizations that wanted to use force to confront each other.
Under the colonial rule of a foreign nation, the culture of the ruling nation is destroyed, the politics is oppressed, the economy is exploited, and resistance and resistance are inevitable. Among the Taiwanese, there must be nationalists who want to resist Japan's rule by armed riots.
These people are the targets that the underground palace needs to fund. However, this kind of thing is just the beginning, and the scale and nature are not yet at the level that Zhong Yang needs to come forward in person. Moreover, there is a shortage of talents now, Zhong Yang also believes that it is necessary to cultivate some talented newcomers. Wu Funing is one of them.
The reason why Wu Funing was chosen was because he himself held a cadre position in the Shanghai branch of the underground palace. Shanghai happened to be the backbone of the Taiwanese patriots carrying out anti-Japanese activities.
Just as Wu Funing and Zhong Yang were discussing matters related to funding Taiwan's anti-Japanese organizations in the car, a group of evil wolves from the north also arrived in Hongkou in the "Japanese Concession" in Shanghai. The Northern Expedition was vigorous, and the military and economic forces in northern China were greatly weakened.
Faced with such a situation, the greedy Japanese military also began their ambition to swallow China. The fire of desire in their hearts, which was like a flame, made these fierce and cunning wolves unable to hold back their feelings and began to get ready.
The five formal Japanese concessions in Shanghai, different from the Tianjin Japanese concessions, the Hankou Japanese concessions, the Suzhou Japanese concessions, the Hangzhou Japanese concessions and the Chongqing Japanese concessions, are actually only the unilateral Chinese unilaterally referring to the northern and eastern districts of the Shanghai Public Concessions, mainly a customary name for the Japanese forces in Hongkou and Yangshupu.
In 1916, the Shanghai Public Concession Bureau's Police Station established the Japanese Capitol Division. On November 20, 30 Japanese police officers were in place to take over public security affairs in the Hongkou area. On May 30, 1925, the May 30th Massacre broke out, and Japan even sent Marines to Shanghai on June 9 to settle in the Hongkou area on June 9.
This year, the ** Army occupied Shanghai in the Northern Expedition, and the Japanese army also deployed defenses on the Sichuan North Road. The two sides were in a stalemate, which led to tense relations in the concession area and all overseas Chinese from all countries were in danger.
Hongkou, a place where Japanese expatriates live together, now has thousands of Japanese regular soldiers, well-equipped and well-trained. It is called protecting expatriates, but its main purpose is to secretly strengthen its influence in Shanghai. This key economic center is of great significance to Japan's strategy of China.
In a Japanese-style tavern, two young non-commissioned officers in army uniforms were sitting around young men in kimonos. The three of them kept drinking sake, chatting happily, and whispering during the meal.
"Ikeda Nakasa, congratulations on your promotion and serving as an intelligence cadre in central China." It turned out that this person was Hiroya Ikeda who had met Zhong Yang. However, the young man who had a childish face in the past had already been calm, with a calm expression and extraordinary demeanor.
The eight years of hard work finally made this piece of uncensored jade shine with its own brilliance. But the situation gradually calmed down seemed to have begun to smell bloody due to the arrival of people...
