In June 1942, the Japanese Navy was defeated in the Battle of Midway.

Nanjing Xuanwu Lake.

Chen Mansion.

"Brother Third, Lao Yu is here." Xiaoqi went upstairs, pushed open the study door, and reported to Chen Miaohui.

"Please come up."

"Old Yu, what's going on this time?" Chen Miao asked. Lao Yu didn't take the initiative to come to him, and there must be something big about it when he came to him.

"A few of us were caught by No. 76. I want you to take care of you in secret and let them suffer less." Lao Yu said.

"Cheng Peng case?" Chen Miao understood what Lao Yu was talking about when he heard this.

"Yes."

"Their boss Zhou Fuhai will not have any problems." Chen Miao said with a smile.

"If Zhou Fuhai comes forward, then your Minister Lin will not buy his face, and it may be even worse by then." Lao Yu said.

"It's Lao Ma who handled this case, right?"

"It's Ma Mingyuan."

"What reason do I have?"

"Do you know Cheng, right?" Lao Yu asked.

"Well, I've seen it before, and the relationship is not too deep." Chen Miao nodded.

"Just say that Cheng's family is asking you to come, you just need to call Ma. Based on his relationship with you, this face will be given to you." Lao Yu said.

"Well, I understand, you go back first, I know this." Chen Miao nodded, indicating that this matter was agreed.

...

"Cheng and Peng should be the contact persons of the Military Control Commission's troops beside Zhou Fuhai..." Chen Miao took the opportunity to return to Shanghai to meet Lao Fan.

"How did you judge?"

"Zhou Fuhai suffered a loss, how could an intelligence team appear by his side? This kind of thing is too incredible." Chen Miao said, "I suspect that Zhou has known this case for a long time. Zhou is a man of Qin and Chu. I don't think it is strange at all that he secretly had an affair with Chongqing."

"Aren't he afraid of Wang and the Japanese?"

"Wang can't do anything to him. Even if the Japanese know, they can't do anything to him. At least there is no evidence to prove that he has collusion with Chongqing." Chen Miao analyzed, "If you want to move Zhou, it will not work without strong evidence, and then Wang will become a frightened bird."

"It seems that Chongqing has been in secret contact with Zhou." Lao Fan understood Chen Miao's meaning. He was defeated in the Midway Naval Battle, and Japan changed from offense to defense on the Pacific battlefield, allowing the world anti-*** war to see the dawn of victory.

In the East Asian battlefield, the Japanese army was suffering from problems such as long front lines, too fast resource consumption, and exhaustion of troops.

Even on the Chinese battlefield, Japan's mobilization of public security operations, cage policies, rural cleaning movements, etc., did not achieve the expected results, and even the anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines were not weakened, but continued to grow.

Although the strategic counterattack has not arrived yet, overall, it is difficult for the Japanese army to launch a large-scale battle.

Signs of Japan's decline on the battlefield have already appeared.

Although people like Zhou Fuhai do not have moral politicians, in some aspects, their judgment of the situation is sharper than that of normal people.

Leave a way out for yourself or find a way out, this is what people like to do the most.

"Well, since that's the case, I'll follow the flow and agree." Chen Miao said.

"How do you explain to Lin Shiqun?"

"He is now considering himself to make money and power, and he has basically handed over the work in this regard to the people below." Chen Miao said, "Besides, there has been a similar situation in the past, and he doesn't want to fight Zhou head-on."

"What you said makes sense." Lao Fan nodded.

"This is the next stage of clean-up work..."

...

At the end of 1942, Colonel Kurihara Kosalou, the highest military adviser of the Wang Puppet Government, was promoted to the rank of major general and transferred to Peking.

Lin Shiqun's biggest backer in the Wang Puppet Government left and replaced him with a lieutenant general named Shiro Shiro of Shira.

This Shibayama is not like Kosamro Kurihara. He is quite disgusted with Lin Shiqun’s actions and even criticized Lin Shiqun’s behavior in public.

Lin Shiqun has been crazily seizing profits and power over the years, and has offended many people, even the Japanese.

Lin can be said that there are enemies within the Wang Puppet.

When Kurihara Kosamro was there, Zhou Fuhai didn't dare to do anything to Lin Shiqun. Now Kurihara Kosamro has resigned. In addition, the new Shibayama's attitude towards Lin is another 180-degree turn compared to Kurihara Kosamro. All the people who had had a feud with Lin Shiqun in the past and even had deep grudges began to move.

Someone secretly started to connect within the Wang Puppet soon, and a huge "Forest" alliance was formed.

But Lin Shiqun has a powerful force of agents, rich and powerful. In the past, these people did not even dare to express their dissatisfaction in private, but now, they can be publicly dissatisfied and even trigger various conflicts.

Lin Shiqun is impossible for him to give in, and the friction is naturally getting worse.

Chen Miao understood Lin Shiqun's situation. Although he was self-inflicted and did not deserve sympathy, he was helpless to make such a head-on choice.

Once he retreats, he is afraid that these people will rush forward and kill him completely.

One night at the end of the year.

Chen Miao originally planned to go back to Shanghai for the New Year the next day, but was packing up his things when suddenly the telephone in the living room rang.

Chen Miao thought it was Liang Xueqin from Shanghai, so he walked over and picked up the phone.

"Hello."

"Teacher, it's me." Chu Qingxuan's voice came from the phone, which surprised Chen Miao. At this time, how could Chu Qingxuan call him?

"Qingxuan, is there anything wrong?" Chen Miao asked.

"Someone asked me to ask you, he wanted to visit you before you meet Shanghai." Chu Qingxuan's voice was a little nervous, as if the person who asked him to have an extraordinary status.

"When?" Chen Miao was a little surprised. Chu Qingxuan rarely came to him for other people's affairs. In my impression, there was no one except Chu Nanyang.

"Half an hour later."

"Okay, you let him go for half an hour later." Chen Miao nodded and agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you, teacher." You can clearly hear "relieve" on the other end of the phone.

...

Half an hour later, the sound of a car motor came from the front door, and Chen Miao walked out of the balcony of his house and took a look.

A black car parked at the door of the house. The man wearing a black velvet hat got off from it. Because he had a hat covering his face, he couldn't see his face, but he was a little familiar with his back. He must have seen this person.

Xiaoqi went out to welcome the door and welcomed the people in.

Chen Miao also came downstairs. If Chu Qingxuan could call at this time, this person must be very important to her.

It is also the etiquette he should go downstairs to greet him in person.

But, Xiaoqi, when you led the person into the living room, took off your hat, and showed your true face, he was stunned.

It was actually Ding Mohan who was kicked out of No. 76.

Ding Mohan was kicked out of No. 76. Although he was also the Minister of Society, he was excluded from the Wang Puppet Group and was completely marginalized.

At this time, he actually wanted to visit him through Chu Qingxuan's relationship. What was he trying to do?

If Lin Shiqun knew that he had met Ding Mohan, he would not know what he would have thoughts. Although he was no longer afraid of Lin Shiqun, he had always had the label of "Lin Shiqun's iron-kun confidant".

"It turns out to be Mr. Ding, please sit down." Chen Miao ordered, "Xiao Qi, serve tea."

Xiaoqi agreed.

"Director Chen, Ding is so presumptuous that he really can't find a suitable person, so he found Miss Chu. Unexpectedly, she agreed to help." Ding Mohan walked over and sat down on the sofa.

"If Mr. Ding came one step later, I might have already gone to the train station." Chen Miao said with a smile.

"I'm lucky." Ding Mohan smiled, "I wonder if I can call you Brother Sanshui?"

"Mr. Ding, there is no need to be so polite between you and me. Just speak up whatever you want to say." Chen Miao said, "I can help myself, but I won't refuse."

"Okay, I won't say anything secretly. What I'm here actually means Mr. Zhou." Ding Mohan said.

Chen Miao understood instantly.

Ding Mohan is here to be a lobbyist for Zhou Fuhai, but doesn’t Zhou Fuhai know about Ding Mohan’s relationship with him?

I actually sent him here, but is there still no one to send?

In other words, it is not easy to be paid attention to when Ding sent him, because Ding himself was marginalized and basically no one paid attention to him. If he hadn't brought a lot of people to the Wang Puppet, these people would now be in some important positions in the Wang Puppet government.

These people are also a considerable force, and Ding is of some value.

"You are very clear about your Minister Lin now. It can be said that you have made enemies from all sides and are targeting the target of public criticism. Mr. Zhou's tolerance for him has reached its limit. Mr. Wang is also dissatisfied with him, thinking that he is too domineering, but even so, he still doesn't know how to restrain himself and imposes heavy taxes, and even doesn't listen to the orders of the Japanese." Ding Mohan said.

Chen Miao sat there and said nothing. He knew that Ding Mohan was not saying good things, and Lin Shiqun was indeed a little crazy now.

Sometimes, even his sometimes persuasions were not listened to, and he no longer advised him in this regard.

"Mr. Ding, I was promoted by Minister Lin. Are you asking me to betray him now?" Chen Miao sat upright on the sofa and asked slowly.

"Although Lin Shiqun promoted and reused you, you are not the official of Lin Shiqun, but Mr. Wang. Your loyalty to Lin Shiqun is Xiaozhong, and Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhou can represent the government of our country. You may not understand the truth." Ding Mohan obviously came prepared, and Chen Miao did not immediately bombard him, which can already illustrate an attitude.

If Chen Miao had no stranger, he wouldn't have the chance to sit down just now, and now he not only sat down, but also spoke.
