    At the same time, at Meihuatang in Shanghai.

    Yamada Otsuzo, commander of the Central China Front Army, happened to be inspecting in Shanghai, and Ume Agency Chief Shadow Sasaki Akira, along with Suga Hikojiro and others, were accompanying him.

    After the inspection, we held another small meeting.

    "Kagezuo-kun." Yamada Otsuzo said, "China's Military Command Bureau is planning an assassination against Wang Jingwei. You should already know about this, right?"

    "Hai!" Ying Zuozhenzhao suddenly said, "I already know about my humble position."

    After a pause, Yingzuo Zhenzhao continued: "Furthermore, I know that the assassination of Wang Jingwei was led by Chen Gongshu, the former chief of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command Bureau!"

    "Yoshi, it's good that you know." Yamada Otsuzo nodded and said, "Wang Jingwei has shown enough sincerity to the empire through Zhou Fohai. This person is the key to the empire's successful solution to the China incident, so his personal safety must be guaranteed  Safe! Do you know what I mean?"

    "Hai!" Ying Zuozhenzhao suddenly said, "I understand! I am going to let Mr. Imai personally lead a group of special forces members to Hanoi to provide personal protection for Wang Jingwei!"

    At this time, the special operations brigade of the Central China Front Army had been transferred to Shanghai and was incorporated into the Mei Agency's organization.

    Of course, it should be noted that this is only temporary. The special operations brigade was transferred to Shanghai only to assist the Mei agency in attacking Chinese espionage personnel and organizations in Shanghai.

    "Yo Xi!" Yamada Otsuzo nodded happily and asked, "How is the work of the reform government's secret service headquarters going?"

    "Hai!" Yingzuo Zhenzhao paused again and replied, "Initially, the work of the secret service headquarters was not very smooth, but after getting help from Ji Sang, enough manpower was successfully recruited."

    The Ji Sang mentioned by Ying Zuo Zhenzhao is Ji Yunqing, a senior leader of the Shanghai Youth Gang.

    "Hey!" Yamada Otsuzo nodded happily again, and continued, "Now that the secret service headquarters is on the right track, we must order them to launch a clearing mission against the Central Military Command of China and the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party as soon as possible, with a view to clearing the Shanghai Concession as soon as possible.  There are espionage activities that are not conducive to the Empire!"

    "Hai!" Yingzuo Zhenzhao paused again.

    After a pause, Yamada Otozo suddenly said: "By the way, Yingzuo-kun, do you know that Zhong Yi is the mayor of Yinjiang?"

    "Hai!" Yingzuo Zhenzhao said fiercely, "I have known about this for a long time. Our Mei agency even had a contest with Zhong Yi, but unfortunately, we lost."

    "Zhong Yi is a cruel and scheming person. It's not surprising that he lost to him." Speaking of this, Yamada Otsuzo said again, "But you must be clear about one thing, that is, we must not let him build Yinjiang!  Because Yinjiang is not only a port city that can receive supplies from outside, but also because Yinjiang is too close to Shanghai and Hangzhou!"

    After a pause, Yamada Otsuzo continued: "I'm afraid you already know that Zhong Yi will hold an auction at the Yinjiang Hotel tonight to raise funds for the development of Yinjiang by auctioning the planned commercial land.  Industry, we must be vigilant about this! At least we cannot let him do what he wants!"

    "Your Excellency, General, this is easy to solve." Suga Hikojiro said next to him, "We only need to send a few attack planes to level all Zhong Yi's efforts in Yinjiang."

    "Baga Yalu, things are not that simple." Yamada Otsuzo frowned and reprimanded, "Zhong Yi's actions in Yinjiang were in the name of the US government. If there is a large-scale bombing, the US response must be considered! What's more,  , Now the industrial construction in Yinjiang has just begun, do you want our attack planes to bomb farmland?"

    "Hai!" Suga Hikojiro paused and didn't dare to interrupt again.

    Kage Sasaki turned around and looked at Inukaikata, and then asked in a low voice: "Your Excellency, General, right now there is no major war between the 11th Army and the 21st Army, so why can't we allocate a few divisions to attack Yinjiang?"  Shoot it down too?"

    The Yinjiang River is close to the sea and is within the strike range of the Japanese navy, so Yinzuo Zhenzhao thought it would be easy to win.

    This is also the reason why Yingzuo Zhenzhao didn¡¯t pay much attention to Zhong Yi before, because he felt that it was not necessary. Even if Zhong Yi made trouble in Yinjiang, wouldn¡¯t the empire still be in vain in the end?

    "Capture Yinjiang? Do you think we don't want to?" Yamada Otsuzo said with a bitter smile, "But at this stage, the North China Front Army is preparing to launch a large-scale public security war in the occupied areas, so it is impossible to mobilize excess troops to go south.  The 21st Army was barely able to maintain the occupation around Guangzhou. As for Okamura-kun's 11th Army, it was currently preparing for the Battle of Nanchang and had no time to take care of other battlefields."

    After a pause, Yamada Otsuzo continued: "More importantly, the empire's finances are on the verge of collapse, and it really cannot support multiple fronts fighting at the same time. Do you understand?"

    If Japan still had strength left, it would not have stopped after the Battle of Wuhan, but would have continued to fight westward along the Yangtze River, directly taking Chongqing, the capital of China. However, the reality is that the Japanese army stopped its frontal attack after capturing Wuhan.  It's not that Japan doesn't want to continue attacking, but it just can't sustain it anymore.

    "Hai!" Yingzuo Zhenzhao said after a heavy pause, "I understand your humble position."

    Yamada Otsuzo said: "So, military means can be excluded against Yinjiang."

    Yingzuo Zhenzhao said: "Your Excellency, since military means cannot be used in Yinjiang, can the empire wage an economic war against Yinjiang?"

    "Economic war?" Yamada Otsuzo asked, "You mean blockade?"

    "A simple blockade is definitely not enough." Yingzuo Zhenzhao said, "After all, Yinjiang is also a free port. Merchant ships from Western countries can pass through without hindrance. The Imperial Navy cannot block it even if it wants to."

    ¡°What else can we do besides blockade?¡± Yamada Otsuzo asked in confusion.

    Yingzuo Zhenzhao said: ¡°Use economic means to disrupt the market order in Yinjiang.¡±

    "Disturbing the market order in Yinjiang?" Yamada Otsuzo said, "Can you be more specific?"

    Ying Zuozhenzhao said: "To be specific, it means hoarding supplies. Isn't Zhong Yi going to start large-scale construction in Yinjiang? Then a large amount of cement building materials will inevitably be used, because Yinjiang is close to Shanghai, and Zhong Yi is extremely  We may purchase it from nearby Shanghai, so as long as we increase the price of cement building materials, Zhong Yi can give up halfway!"

    "Are you going to raise the price of building materials?" Yamada Otsuzo asked, "How much money is needed?"

    Yingzuo Zhenzhao said: "Because traffic from the outside world is cut off, a large amount of building materials have been accumulated in the Shanghai market. Fortunately, the prices have dropped to a low level, so the amount of funds required should not be too much." (Remember this book.  Website address: www.hlnovel.com
