June 16, Peking.

All the main forces of the Japanese army have moved south, and only one division and two local garrison troops are stationed in the Beiping area.

The news of Jiangdong's approaching army was already known to everyone in the city of Peiping, and the common people did not dare to show too much excitement outside. Once the doors were closed, every household was beaming with joy, and the atmosphere was even more lively than during the New Year.

At this time when all of North China was about to be recovered, various legends about Jiangdong began to spread in Beiping.

What the people talked about the most was what Jiang Dong did in Beiping City a month ago. They talked about it with relish every time, and their eyes were full of endless admiration.

Different from the expectations, bustle and celebrations of ordinary people, the traitor leaders and puppet soldiers in Peiping City were all panic-stricken.

Ru Rongzhen, Wang Kejing and others were eager to flee Peiping immediately, but the Japanese intelligence agencies resolutely did not allow these leaders to escape, saying they were afraid of shaking the morale of the military.

In addition, the land route to the south has been blocked by Jiangdong, so they can only go to the Northeast or leave on a Japanese ship.

After the news of Okamura Neiji's trip to Jinan spread, the traitors from the North China Political Affairs Commission gathered together from time to time to discuss the way out in fear. However, after repeated discussions, there were only a few directions to choose from, and they only had one to do.

The one who decides.

In addition to the puppet troops who were in constant panic, tens of thousands of Japanese expatriates were also in panic.

The army has actually abandoned them. If they want to survive, they can only find their own way out.

After lunch, a graceful figure wearing a kimono walked out of the military hall.

Although the woman's face was not covered with death makeup, it still looked extremely pale under the sunlight, as if she had just crawled out of a coffin.

She walked on the street with her wooden clogs, and from time to time she would ask the vendors nearby for prices.

There was a forced smile on her pale face. Although her face did not have the panic of ordinary expats, there was a trace of deep nervousness hidden deep in her eyes.

This woman is Yuriko, whom Hiraoka longs for.

When she left the military hall, she naturally wanted to go out to deliver information.

The city of Beiping is currently in chaos and panic is everywhere. The intelligence agencies never imagined that a woman they were toying with in a military hall could actually be a spy.

Although the risk of exposure was very low, Yuriko was still very cautious. She looked back carefully as she walked, then walked around several alleys, and finally entered a shop specializing in Japanese goods.

Ping Gang had been waiting for a long time in the store. When the two met, they had a loving and tender moment for a few seconds, and then they started talking about serious matters.

"Hinggang-kun, I heard from the sisters in the military hall that the Chinese are dirty, ignorant, and very barbaric. I...I...I'm worried..."

After the serious talk was over, Yuriko said with tears in her eyes.

Ping Gang knew what she was thinking and comforted her softly:

"Dear Yuriko, there are many Japanese like you and me in Shanxi, as well as some who were generals of the empire. They are all living very well now and have not suffered any oppression.

You don’t have to worry, I’m very familiar with the Commander-in-Chief, and he is a man who keeps his promises.”

When he thought of Jiang Dong, Ping Gang subconsciously touched his arm.

Although two years have passed, nightmares still appear from time to time, and the pain on his arm also reminds him of what kind of person Jiang Dong is.

Ping Gang shivered involuntarily and hurriedly shook off those "rebellious and unethical" thoughts from his mind.

Yuriko seemed to trust and rely on him very much, and said softly:

"As long as I can be with Ping Gang-kun, no matter how hard it is, I won't be afraid."

The two years in the military hall not only made Yuriko suffer a lot, but also allowed him to see the true face of Japanese men.

Those are a group of demons who only know how to enjoy and kill, and never take women seriously.

Nowadays, everyone is retreating, but no one seems to remember the women in the military hall.

After appeasing Yuriko, Hiraoka immediately passed the information to Lu Jiu.

"Although the Japanese troops said they wanted to organize, they obviously didn't have enough manpower, so they had no choice but to let the expatriates flee for their lives. I heard that train tickets to Manchuria in the north and Tianjin in the south had been sold at sky-high prices, but there were still people trying to grab them.

Some Japanese expatriates even traveled to these two places on foot with their families, and there were many cases of being robbed by bandits and guerrillas on the way."

Lu Jiu shook his legs gently and seemed to be in a good mood. He nodded and signaled Ping Gang to continue.

"Important institutions such as Japan's Chamber of Commerce and Bank have basically been evacuated. There are still some expatriates who are unwilling to leave. They are reselling their shops, houses and other properties at low prices." Hiraoka's face was calm, as if he was not talking about Japanese things.

.

Lu Jiu raised his eyebrows, looking quite interested.

"Resell the property? We can't miss such a good opportunity to get a bargain."

"Director, there are many shops and properties, and there are even some unsold goods. We don't have that much money, right?" Ping Gang reminded.

"That's childish, isn't it?" Lu Jiu glanced at Ping Gang and said,

"The North China Front is about to be destroyed. Whoever pays for it at this time is a fool. Besides, I will notify the Fuxing Chamber of Commerce to do this. There are some smart people in the Chamber of Commerce. I dare to bet you that the property of Japanese expatriates will be taken care of by them."

You can get it without spending a penny.”

The confusion in Ping Gang's eyes flashed away, and he nodded in agreement.

"In addition to moving property, I heard that the intelligence agency is also looking for cultural relics in the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven."

Lu Jiu sat up straight,

"The cultural relics were almost completely moved when they moved south in 1937, and the Japanese couldn't collect anything. I'm mainly worried that they will cause damage in these places.

What the commander-in-chief wants is a complete city of Beiping!"

Ping Gang Road:

"I haven't received any information about this yet, but I will urge them to work harder."

"With the Japanese people's usual urination, they can do such a thing, and the speed must be fast."

"yes!"

"How to deal with the senior officials of the North China Government Affairs Commission?" Ping Gang asked.

Lu Jiu smiled softly,

"Others will handle this matter, and I already understand the situation. Just keep an eye on the intelligence agencies."

"clear!"

Xiang Rongzhen and his like have accumulated a large amount of wealth in North China. The various units of the 6th Corps are making rapid progress. These people's properties in Hebei, Shandong and other places have not yet been transferred.

The army is fighting at the front, and people from civil affairs and trading companies are following closely behind. The property of the traitor leaders and Japanese expatriates who will be urgently transferred in the future will be taken over by the trading companies.

Ding Beifeng had already set his sights on this piece of fat before the war started. The people in the trading companies and civil affairs were doing these things at the same speed as the army, and they were also familiar with the process.

Peiping and Tianjin are the most economically prosperous places in North China. With the assistance of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the backbone of the trading company has secretly sneaked in and is carrying out the "White Wolf with Empty Gloves" operation.
