In the north of Hongkou Park, there is a lonely and gloomy Western-style two-story residence in a dense bush, Shigekamido and Kenji Doihara in Shanghai. He himself doesn't like this residence very much.

However, it has had a huge influence on Japan's policies in China in the past six months.

Because this is the headquarters of the Japan Special Committee on China, Doihara's agency in Shanghai.

Outside, dark clouds were over the city, and it soon started to rain and snow.

In the past six months, Ken Doihara has been more than ten years old, and has worked hard for his "puppet" plan to "support China's first-class figures".

To this day, both him and the original idea of ​​the base camp have almost gone bankrupt.

"General, it's snowing." Kyuki Kyoto stood behind Kenji Doihara with a military coat in his hand.

Kenji Doihara was wearing a thin kimono, standing by the window, looking at the rain and snow floating outside, and a wrinkled telegram above the tatami table.

This is a telegram from the North China Front Army to the base camp by crossing the level, and it was a lawsuit filed by the base camp.

The general idea is: Wu Ziyu has repeatedly betrayed her faith, and her behavior is beyond tolerance, so she asked the base camp to immediately stop the work of the Doihara agency.

This completely denies his work over the past six months. Kenji Doihara felt wronged and extremely angry.

He could not accept the suggestions put forward by the North China Front Army. Although Wu Ziyu tore up the agreement several times, it was a fact, and the issue raised by the North China Front Army also had some truth, but the proposal to stop the work of "martial arts" was really a short-sighted behavior of Wufu.

At present, the domestic economy is in difficulties and war resources are scarce. The generals on the front line only know how to establish martial eunuchs and attack desperately, dragging the empire into the quagmire of war. Now they have reached a dilemma. They have not completely defeated Chongqing's confidence in fighting, but instead resisting them stronger and stronger.

Even if Wang Zhaoming is used to replace "Tang" with the front-line generals, there are still objections. The base camp still has too many voices, and the orders are changing every day, which sometimes makes people at a loss.

The public security issues in North China are very complicated. To solve the dilemma, Kenji Doihara, the only way is to establish a powerful new central puppet government to control China with China, but his opinion, in addition to supporting "Wu Ziyu", it seems that there is no more suitable candidate.

"Kualaki, what do you think of Ding Mocun and Lin Shiqun?" Kenji Doihara finally turned around, looked at Kyoyo Kiyo, who had been standing behind him for a long time, walked over, and put on a military coat with the help of Kyoko Kiyoko Kiyo.

"Ding Mo Village is so sophisticated and profound. He looks like a very cunning person at first glance. However, the biggest shortcoming of this person is goodness. As for Lin Shiqun, this person looks very kind, like a handsome young industrialist, but I can feel his inner desire for power. This is a person who can tolerate it and cannot bear it." Qingqi Qingyin thought for a moment.

"Well, your opinion is quite objective." Kenji Doihara nodded, "Everyone has his own advantages and disadvantages. As long as we guide and control it, we can become what we need. Shanghai is the most active city in China's economy. The future of the empire needs to become more stable and prosperous. All unfavorable factors are the objects we want to eradicate. If we want to completely control this city, we must learn to employ people, such as people like Lin Shiqun and Ding Mocun."

"I follow the general's teachings."

"I heard that they have established contact with the Buddhist silica in Hong Kong?" As soon as the topic changed, Kenji Doihara suddenly asked.

"Yes, Ding and Lin are supportive of the Wang Zhaoming Peace Movement, and the two sides have reached a preliminary cooperation opinion." Qingqi Qingyin said.

Tang Shaochuan was killed, Wu Ziyu's work was completely denied by the North China Front Army. The work of the Doihara agency had completely come to a standstill, forcing Kenji Doihara to turn his attention to Wang Zhaoming who had run away from Hanoi.

Wasn’t that secret agreement signed in his “Chongguang Hall”?

Maybe the result won't be that bad.

"Karuki, do you think I should meet these two people?" asked Kenji Doihara. In this position, he could not rely entirely on his personal likes and dislikes. Even if he met secretly, it would not be airtight and then interpreted by the outside world.

"General, although these two people have shortcomings, they are also the people we need right now." Qingqi Qingyin did not answer directly, but emphasized "need".

"need" means value, and value is naturally something to be seen.

"Haha, I understand what you mean. Let's meet two people before I fly back to Peiping." Kenji Doihara suddenly laughed.

“When?”

"Tomorrow afternoon, you send a car to take them secretly. In addition, please ask the Consulate Secretary Shimizu to come together." Kenji Doihara ordered.

"You mean to let Register Kiyomizu be their referee?"

Kenji Doihara nodded.

...

It was raining and snowing heavily. Lu Xiyan got off work and didn't dare to drive the car too fast on the road.

"Xiao Wu, you have lived in my house during this period. What's going on at your house?" Lu Xiyan sat in the back of the car and suddenly remembered to ask.

"Everything is fine in my family, sir, don't worry."

"I mean, take the time to go home and take a look, buy some rice, flour and pork and send it back." Lu Xiyan said, "I only heard that my parents are alive at home, do you have other brothers and sisters?"

"Yes, there are two sisters above. The sisters are married and two older brothers, but they all died prematurely." Ma Xiaowu said.

"Are you the only male in the family?"

"No, I have a younger brother, I am only twelve years old this year." Ma Xiaowu smiled.

"Tomorrow weekend, I will take your vacation and buy 100 kilograms of rice and a bag of flour, 20 kilograms of pork, and 20 kilograms of soybean oil to go home to check it out." Lu Xiyan said, "I will ask Yan Lei to give you the money for buying things."

"Sir, it's really not necessary. You have already given a lot of them."

"Stop talking nonsense, not for you."

"Then Xiaowu will thank you sir." Ma Xiaowu said gratefully.

...

The next day is weekend, Saturday.

"Meme, hurry up, have an appointment with Mr. Saul for lunch, don't let others wait in a hurry."

"Here you come."

Only a "thump" sound was heard. Meng Fanxing came down from the upper floor in a pink girl's coat. The playful little round hat was slightly tilted, and a vibrant and playful feeling arose.

"Xiyan, can you see if I wear this sound?"

"Okay, very beautiful." Lu Xiyan smiled, "Don't forget to bring the bag with him."

"Oh..." Meng Fanxing then remembered that he still had a bag or not.

Meng Fanxing's French is already very vocal, and Thor doesn't believe it at all. She was a person who could not speak a single French a year ago.

This lunch was actually finalized by the two parties to reach a secret acquisition agreement.

On the side of Thor, except for the butler who was informed, there was no third person who knew about it. Lu Xiyan only brought Meng Fanxing. After all, Meng Fanxing would handle many of the subsequent things on his behalf.

The two sides will set up a transitional management working group, with lawyers and accountants designated by both parties participating, and the transfer of related industries will also be carried out later.

First there are some real estate, then enterprises and factories, and finally equity. It is expected that the entire transfer process will be completed within half a year.

Thor was not optimistic about the war situation in Europe, especially his motherland, and France was dissatisfied with the one who gave in to Germany.

You should know that Germany was a defeated country in World War I, France was a victorious country, and the two countries formed blood feuds, while the bearded prime minister of Germany was a racist.

Britain and France sacrificed the interests of the Czech Republic, which exposed their inner cowardice, which would encourage their opponents to be arrogant.

In Sole's view, Germany will sooner or later fight against France, and this may trigger a big melee across the European continent.

The tragedy of World War I will repeat in Europe, and even in Asia, Thor's view on the war between China and Japan is very pessimistic.

He believes that China is likely to become a Japanese colony in the near future and may even be directly annexed by Japan.

Of course, Lu Xiyan disagrees. In the past six months, he has been exposed to a lot of data from Japan. The more he knows, the more he feels that Japan is now a fat man with a swollen face. He looks very fat, but in fact he is fat. China, although it is thin and looks depressed, has strong patience.

I can't beat you head-on, so I will deal with you. I will exhaust your energy. The longer I drag you, the more beneficial it will be to me.

As long as the Chinese military and civilians are united and united, it is impossible for Japan to defeat China.

Although Saul believed that Germany and France would have a battle, he also believed that France could definitely defeat Germany and that France was safe. Therefore, he hoped that if Lu Xiyan could not stay in Shanghai, he could go to France.

Lu Xiyan did not refuse, after all, this was someone else's kindness.

When he really reached that point, he was afraid that he would rather die than live. Wherever his parents were, his soul would be.

Thor will return to China after the New Year. He left all the matters in Shanghai to Oberman. After all, all important agreements have been signed, and the rest is docking.

Also, Oberman returned to stay in Shanghai and continued to manage some of his remaining business in Shanghai. A garden villa on Thor on the Embassy Road was also handed over to Oberman to live in.

Thor will also resign as president of the French Chamber of Commerce and whoever he wants to succeed is not something Lu Xiyan can care about, anyway, it cannot be him.

As for Sole's connections within the French Chamber of Commerce, Lu Xiyan could take over part of it. After all, Sole did not completely sell all his business in Shanghai.

Thor has considerable influence in China and Southeast Asia, and his social relations and connections are what Lu Xiyan urgently needs now.
