Chapter 269 Targeting the French
Sitting in the car on the way to the consulate, Chen Yang looked at the street scene that was constantly receding, and felt inexplicably uneasy.
Li Xianshu suddenly wanted to call a meeting and didn't say what it was about. Chen Yang felt a little scared.
Normally, if one has to go to the consulate for a meeting, it must be something big, but recently things seem to be very quiet, except for the secret conversation between Mr. Song and Blair some time ago.
Could it be because of that incident?
Uh, this is never going to end...
Shanghai, Consulate.
There were more than ten people sitting in the high-level conference room.
"Sorry, I'm late." Chen Yang walked into the meeting room and was slightly stunned.
In addition to a few familiar faces such as Otani Genichirō, Haruki Keitsugu, and Kuroda Yusuke, there were also two unfamiliar faces present.
One was a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He was short, estimated to be only about 1.55 meters tall.
He has a scholarly air and a serious face, looking like an old scholar.
The other was a rare beauty.
There are many kinds of beauties, and Fujiwara Shizuka is one of those plump, fair-skinned and beautiful women.
Song Jiayu is a beautiful, intelligent and dexterous person.
Gu Xiaoyu is a gentle and delicate beauty.
But the beauty in front of me is different from those people.
Although she has an oval face and big eyes, she has a heroic air, with both a charming and a strong side.
Among women, she looks a bit like a man, but among men, she stands out very much, and her facial features are quite delicate.
Moreover, she is much taller than the average Japanese man, estimated to be at least 1.63 to 1.65 meters tall, and has a perfect figure.
When she saw Chen Yang come in, her eyes changed slightly. She looked Chen Yang up and down and seemed to be very interested in him.
"Chen Yang, you haven't met these two yet."
Li Xianshu also saw Chen Yang's surprised expression and introduced with a smile: "This is the telecommunications code expert, Colonel Ishimoto Haruhiko."
"This is Section Chief Yunko Minamida of the Special Affairs Division of the Special High Police."
Oh, this is the legendary Minamida Yunko.
The witch who could enchant everyone described by Luo Baichuan looked like this. Although she was quite pretty, she was not as exaggerated as Luo Baichuan described.
In Chen Yang's opinion, this Minamida Yunko is not as attractive as Fujiwara Shizuka. After all, Fujiwara Shizuka has super assets worth 200 million.
Ordinary girls are not as rich as her.
And this Miss Yunzi is probably between BC, which means her figure is quite proportionate...
It doesn't have much appeal to Chen Yang, but if it is modified, well, that would be fine.
Several people bowed to each other as a greeting.
"Chen Yang, come and sit down." Li Xianshu waved her hand and asked Chen Yang to sit next to her.
Then, he signaled to Yusuke Kuroda to start.
Kuroda Yusuke stood up and said, "Today, we have called together the leaders of all intelligence agencies to hold a meeting. The main purpose is to arrange the intelligence work of each department this year."
"According to the key instructions of the 'Guiding Opinions on the Work of Intelligence Agencies' and the 'Plan No. 1 of Peace' issued by the headquarters."
"In the coming year, our main task is to cooperate with the Imperial Army to prevent Chinese agents from infiltrating and undermining stability in the South."
Yusuke Kuroda spoke a lot, reading from the script, and it took him more than an hour to finish explaining all the terms one by one.
Then, Kuroda Yusuke changed the subject and said, "Now let's move on to the second item of the meeting."
"Everyone, I believe everyone knows that a few days ago, major newspapers in Shanghai published news that France will cooperate with the Chinese government."
"Although the French consulate has repeatedly denied it and solemnly stated that no such negotiation took place, after extensive investigation by the intelligence department, we have no direct evidence to rule out the possibility of a cooperation agreement between the two parties."
"In order to completely cut off the cooperation between the French and the Chinese government."
"According to the instructions from the headquarters, the Empire will discuss with the French consulate about closing the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway."
Chen Yang, who was originally drowsy after listening to the lecture, was suddenly startled.
Li Xianshu had mentioned this matter to him before, and he also passed the news to Qiu Chan, asking Shancheng to make a plan in advance, but he didn't expect that this matter would be put on the agenda so soon.
The Yunnan-Vietnam railway transport line is extremely important to the Chinese government.
Since the fall of Guangzhou, the Chinese government has been relying on international supplies only via the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and the Yunnan-Burma Highway.
The Burma Road was officially put into use in October last year, and the road condition is still under repair.
The fastest way to transport those foreign supplies is to go directly through Vietnam to Kunming.
"If you have any suggestions on this matter, please elaborate on it."
"Mr. Otani, does General Doihara have any suggestions?" Li Xianshu turned his gaze to Otani Genichirō standing beside him.
"Madam," Otani Genichirō said solemnly, "This negotiation is led by the consulate."
"The Special High Police will fully assist the consulate in the negotiations,"
How could he have the nerve to say such a standard Tai Chi answer?
Well, Li Xianshu was obviously very unhappy to hear Otani Genichiro's evasive answer.
What does full assistance mean? What does consulate-led mean?
This is a typical way of shirking responsibility.
Li Xianshu looked gloomy and looked at Qingqi Qingyin of Mei Agency and said, "Does Qingqi-kun have any good suggestions?"
Qingqi Qingyin replied respectfully: "Madam, we think it is possible to create some trouble and then sit down to negotiate with the French."
Li Xianshu frowned and said, "Qingqi-kun, can you tell me in detail?"
"Okay, ma'am, here's our plan..."
Qingqi Qingyin talked nonstop for more than half an hour.
Chen Yang felt that this plan sounded so familiar.
This is obviously the same as the September 18th Incident, when the Japanese used the excuse of Japanese soldiers being lost to bombard Shenyang, and the Hongqiao Incident, when the navy commander Oyama Yufu broke into the Hongqiao Airport and provoked the Battle of Shanghai.
It was nothing more than sending people to stir up disputes with the French in the French Concession, and then putting pressure on the French Consulate to make them agree to close the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.
Is this the last trick, or is it that one trick is enough to conquer all.
After Qingqi Qingyin finished talking about the plan, no one rushed to express their opinions but looked at Li Xianshu.
Li Xianshu thought for a moment and said, "Although Qingqi-kun's plan is a bit old-fashioned, it is very practical."
"Do you have any better suggestions?"
Everyone present looked at each other and no one spoke.
"Okay, let's leave it like this for now."
"Qingqi-kun, Chen Yang, the specific plan will be in the charge of your two departments."
"Otani-kun, please prepare your assistance here. That's all for today's meeting."
Li Xianshu seemed a little dissatisfied with everyone's performance. She didn't even bother to say goodbye to the meeting. She just stood up and left the meeting room.
