"What? What don't you understand?" Hyōtaro Imamura asked, looking at Kentaro Miyazaki's frowning expression.

"Teacher." Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and asked curiously, "Why is the investigation class suddenly interested in direct contact?"

Investigation Team and Shanghai Consulate General Special Investigation Team, this is the official name of the ‘Iwai Mansion’ in the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Japanese official documents.

The original intention of the establishment of Iwai Mansion was that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs needed to have an intelligence agency for the Chongqing government to collect intelligence.

The most important task is to conduct analysis, draw a secret investigation report, and distribute it to relevant Japanese agencies in China and domestic agencies for decision-making reference.

Although the work of the Iwai Mansion now involves many aspects, including intelligence, economics, military, etc., its main work is still based on intelligence.

Specific to this kind of direct and secret contact with Chongqing and involving the struggle between the national and red parties, it is actually not the Iwai Mansion's 'specialty'.

Therefore, Cheng Qianfan was a little surprised.

"Iwai-dono has returned from Tokyo." Hyōtaro Imamura said.

"Your Excellency, the Consul General, has returned from Tokyo?" Cheng Qianfan looked a little excited, "Your Excellency has returned to China in person to speak to the cabinet ministers. He will definitely return in triumph."

Last year, after Eiichi Iwai met with Sadaaki Kage, he decided to organize a Chinese political party organization and launch the Koya nation-building movement. The purpose was to join the Koya nation-building movement parties in the new regime of Wang Reclamation in the future and realize the national unity with Wang Reclamation.

The party's desire to unite to govern may even replace it at some point in the future.

Therefore, Iwai Mansion began to recruit a large number of Chinese people to join the so-called Koya Nation Building Movement Committee. Because Miyazaki Kentaro had an excellent cover identity as "Cheng Qianfan", he was also arranged by Imamura Hyōtaro to join the Koya Nation Founding Movement Committee.

Sports Committee, and also became one of the six deputy members of the Xingya Nation-building Committee.

However, Vice Committee Member Cheng Qianfan is mainly busy making money or dealing with beauties all day long. Even if he has free time, he is still busy with official duties and has work to do in the Special Higher Education Course. Therefore, he is actually interested in Xingxing.

He was not very involved in the work of the Asian nation-building movement.

However, after learning that the Iwai Mansion was determined to launch the Xingya nation-building movement, Cheng Qianfan urgently reported this important information to the organization.

Although he did not know the subsequent organizational arrangements, Cheng Qianfan had reason to believe that there must be members of the so-called Xingya Nation-building Movement Committee in Iwai Mansion, and he did not even rule out more than one comrade.

Eiichi Iwai attaches great importance to the Koya Nation-building Movement. In order to let Japan know more about and support the Koya Nation-Build Movement, he led a total of eight members of the Koya Nation-Build Movement and important backbone cadres back to Tokyo in November.

, met with Prime Minister Abe, Privy Council Speaker Konoe Fumima, and the heads of the three provinces of China, Japan, and Japan.

"The main thing is to win the support of the military." Hyōtaro Imamura said.

"The support of the military is crucial." Cheng Qianfan also nodded.

Under the leadership of Hyōtaro Imamura, Kentaro Miyazaki, a student, and several other young people whom Hyōtaro Imamura admired very much, they once had a serious discussion in private about the Koya nation-building movement.

In fact, everyone generally thinks that the Xingya nation-building movement is a good idea, but there are two major difficulties that need to be overcome:

First, in a sense, there is a high probability that the military will not like the Xingya nation-building movement too much. What the military, especially the young military faction, hopes to see is the complete occupation of China. China will no longer exist. This rich land

The vast land belongs to the Japanese Empire.

In fact, it is precisely based on this idea that many radical troops within the army do not recognize the empire's support for Wang Chuhai to establish the so-called new Kuomintang regime.

Secondly, the Wang Reclamation regime does not want to see the Xingya nation-building movement succeed.

Of course, although Eiichi Iwai cannot be said to be indifferent to Wang's dissatisfaction with the reclamation, he understands that the biggest obstacle lies in the military, or in other words, it is to win the support of the military.

"A certain amount of progress has been made." Hyōtaro Imamura rubbed his eyebrows and said, "We will continue to maintain more communication with the Central China Liaison Department of Koya Academy."

Hyōtaro Imamura's words were meant to be a blessing to Iwai Mansion. The Central China Liaison Department of Koa Academy was the highest administrative agency of the Japanese army in China, and the work of Iwai Mansion was actually integrated into the Central China Liaison Department of Koa Academy to a certain extent.

of range.

Of course, this also makes it more convenient for the Iwai Mansion to rely on the power of the military.

…

"The secret contact with Chongqing confirmed the other party's recent attitude towards the Red Party." Under the expectant, encouraging and stern eyes of Hyoutaro Imamura, Cheng Qianfan also began to think about the problem seriously. He asked, "What does this have to do with the founding of Xingya?"

What’s the connection with sports?”

The corners of his mouth raised, "Can we still invite the Chongqing and Yanzhou Red Parties to participate in the Xingya nation-building movement?"

"Don't talk nonsense, be serious." Hyōtaro Imamura knocked on his student's head.

He knew that even some young people within the Iwai Mansion did not approve of the Xingya nation-building movement.

Among them was Kentaro Miyazaki. He knew that he was a student. In fact, Kentaro Miyazaki didn’t even like Wang Qinhai’s new regime. What he most wanted to see was for the empire to completely occupy and conquer China.

China fully annexes rather than supports the so-called puppet regime.

Of course, what pleased Imamura Hyōtaro was that although Miyazaki Kentaro might not ideologically agree with the Kōya nation-building movement, he would still complete the tasks assigned to him well.

"It has nothing to do with the Kōya nation-building movement itself," Imamura Hyōtaro said seriously, "but some people want to see what we can do."

Understood.

Miyazaki Kentaro's clever mind, which he used in business, was finally used in 'business'. He understood what Imamura Hyoutarou meant.

"Teacher, so we have to show our abilities." Cheng Qianfan said, "We have to prove our strength."

Under Imamura Hyoutarou's expectant gaze, Cheng Qianfan continued, "And if we can successfully get in touch with the Chang Kaishen regime, or even reach some kind of agreement, even if it's just a tacit understanding to jointly deal with the Red Party, this will be our

Significant results achieved.”

In a word, the Iwai Mansion has to prove its worth, and then some people in Japan will consider further supporting Eiichi Iwai's movement to establish a nation in Asia.

In a sense, this can be understood as an exchange of interests.

Imamura Hyoutaro nodded, his eyes filled with relief. As long as he, as a student, devotes all his energy to business, his performance is worthy of recognition, because Miyazaki Kentaro's ability is beyond doubt.

"Get in touch with Zheng Weilong as soon as possible, and get in touch with that side through Zheng Weilong and Dai Chunfeng as soon as possible." Imamura Hyoutarou said, he thought, "You can interpret it as me inviting you to join the Xingya nation-building movement, and then investigate the class

We here hope to use your background in the Kuomintang to make secret contacts with Chongqing."

"Hai." Cheng Qianfan said with a look of admiration, "This arrangement made by the teacher is very suitable. Cheng Qianfan has always been relatively close to the empire, and it is no secret that he is favored by the teacher. This way, there will be no suspicion."

"In short, we must do it as soon as possible." Hyoutarou Imamura said, "Your Excellency Iwai is very concerned about this matter. After you make progress, I will take you to meet with the Consul General to report on the work."

"Thank you, teacher!" Cheng Qianfan said very happily.

Imamura Hyoutaro smiled and pointed at his student, "Work hard, Kentaro."

He likes Miyazaki Kentaro's character very much. He obviously does not support the Kyoya nation-building movement, but when the opportunity comes, he is still willing to seize it and perform well. This kind of character is much better than many young people who are stubborn and don't know how to adapt.

Already.

Of course, Hyoutarou Imamura was relieved when he thought that Kentaro Miyazaki was good at business. Who among those who are good at business would not know how to adapt?

Just like those Osaka businessmen, for the sake of money, they can drink and have fun with the enemy who killed his father and took his wife.

…

"Thank you, Uncle Kogoro." Cheng Qianfan took the snack gift box from Imamura Kogoro's hand.

Kogoro Imamura specially went to Imamura's residence to pick up the dorayaki that he had made by himself and gave it to him when he left.

Imamura Kogoro smiled, and the two chatted for a while.

Looking at Kentaro Miyazaki's leaving figure, Kogoro Imamura's face showed a smile from the bottom of his heart. He was kind to Kentaro Miyazaki because Hyoutarou Imamura valued this student very much. Of course, the most important thing is that every time

Kentaro Miyazaki came to see Hyōtaro Imamura, and Hyōtaro Imamura was in a very good mood.

"Take these bottles of red wine back." Kogoro Imamura entered Hyōtaro Imamura's office to clear away the dishes. Hyōtaro Imamura pointed to the red wine gift box on the ground and said.

…

Bringing freshly baked mung bean cake that Imamura Hyoutarou likes to eat is a sign of intimacy between students and their teachers.

Just because you brought mung bean cake, you can’t forget the red wine gift box.

The red wine gift box is a golden and sincere tribute from students to their teachers.

Cheng Qianfan is very clear about this.

"Go to Mrs. Zhang's place." Cheng Qianfan yawned and said to Li Hao.

"I know." Li Hao glanced at the rearview mirror. He noticed the smile on the corner of Brother Fan's mouth, which seemed to be in a good mood.

Just as he was about to ask, he saw Brother Fan closing his eyes and dozing off, so he closed his mouth so as not to disturb Brother Fan's rest.

"Brother Fan, it's Hao Zai." When the car passed Xiafei Road, Li Hao saw Hao Zai standing on the roadside. The car seemed to have broken down on the side of the road, so he quickly reminded Brother Fan.

"Let him get in the car and talk." Cheng Qianfan opened his eyes and took a look and said.

…

"The car broke down?" Cheng Qianfan asked Haozi.

"No, just pretending. I know Brother Fan that you will pass by Xiafei when you come back, so I have been waiting here." Hao Zai said.

Whether Cheng Qianfan was returning to the patrol house from Hongkou, going to Ying Huaizhen's place, or going to Zhang Ping's home, he had to pass through Xiafei Road.

Zhang Ping's ready-made clothing store is also on Xiafei Road.

"What happened?" Cheng Qianfan's heart skipped a beat and he asked hurriedly.

"Yang Changnian sent a code signal and the meeting was cancelled," Hao Zai reported.

"What's going on?" Cheng Qianfan's expression immediately became serious, "Did you send out a warning signal?"

"No." Hao Zai said, "Everything is normal. It was a sign that something had happened, so it was canceled."

He thought for a while and said to Cheng Qianfan, "Brother Fan, however, I still suggest you check, just in case."
