My years of espionage

Chapter 2058 Winter of the Thirty-Second Year
"Those involved in Chongqing affairs must be completely eradicated," Cheng Qianfan said calmly. "Execute them."

Chai Weifeng cannot be allowed to live.

This man has too much blood on his hands; even within the Political Security Bureau, many people hate Chai Weifeng to the core.

In addition, Nanjing has also informed us that the plan to use Chai Weifeng to expose Wan Haiyang is not feasible.

"Yes!"

"Execute him on the spot, and arrange for people to watch the execution," Cheng Qianfan said.

"Understood." Li Hao understood what Brother Fan meant. He would arrange for people who hated Chai Weifeng to observe the execution, which was an opportunity to win people's hearts.

"Are Zhang Yun and the others behaving themselves?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

“They’re all very well-behaved,” Li Hao said. “Zhang Yun is quite capable, and it seems his men all respect him.”

"Keep an eye on it," Cheng Qianfan said to Li Hao. "Observe it for a while."

"clear."

……

"Director, Chai Weifeng is dead," Qu Kairui said softly to Wan Haiyang.

"Understood." Wan Haiyang said in a hoarse voice after a few seconds of silence.

Chai Weifeng was executed by firing squad, and he was executed in the name of a Chongqing element.

Furthermore, according to Chai Weifeng's confession, the Third Political Security Bureau arrested a group of Chongqing elements and executed them all, and these people all came from the First Political Security Bureau.

Surprisingly, Wan Haiyang maintained great restraint in response.

In addition, under Cheng Qianfan's mediation, Ye Xiaoqing's side also released a message that they would temporarily cease hostilities with Wan Haiyang's side. However, Ye Xiaoqing would reserve the right to investigate the truth of the "assassination incident at No. 9 Ma Sinan Road".

Cheng Qianfan took the initiative to mediate and resolve the dispute, which earned him high praise from Nanjing.

Even Zhou Liang publicly praised Director Cheng Qianfan as "a rare young pillar of the Party and the country"...

It was precisely because of Wan Haiyang's 'restraint' and Cheng Qianfan's lack of further action that the bloody internal struggle within the Political Security Bureau, which lasted for more than two months, temporarily came to a halt.

……

Shanghai.

"So, the origin of these internal conflicts within the Political Security Bureau and its predecessor, the Special Agent Headquarters, was actually a woman?" Masayuki Furukawa said, frowning.

"Section Chief Arao summoned Cheng Qianfan and held a meeting with him," Shinta Abiko said. "Although the facts are absurd, the fact is that the whole incident was caused by Wan Haiyang's deputy, Meng Dajun, trying to take advantage of Dong Zhengguo's widow."

“Baka yarou.” Masayuki Furukawa shook his head and said coldly, “Chinese officials only think about money and beautiful women, even secret service officers are like that, it’s simply incomprehensible.”

“That’s normal.” My grandson Shinta got up to pour wine for Furukawa Masayuki, then sat down and said, “It is precisely because the Empire can provide them with benefits and satisfy their desires that they serve the Empire.”

He told Masayuki Furukawa, "In the long run, people with desires are more reassuring to us."

Masayuki Furukawa frowned, then sighed and nodded.

The empire needed to support and cultivate Chinese people to help maintain its rule. It needed talent and elites, but it was also most wary of these people. Under these circumstances, those who were capable and talented but of low character and had all sorts of worldly desires and shortcomings were actually more suitable and more likely to put the empire at ease.

……

"Cheng Qianfan and the action team leader Araki Harima are good friends. Didn't the Special Higher Police ever consider completely winning him over?" Furukawa Masayuki asked.

He came to Nanjing from Tokyo three months ago to take up the post of special advisor to the General Affairs Office of the Mei Agency.

After more than three months of work and research, Cheng Qianfan, the director of the Third Bureau of Political Security, came into his view.

Of course, this person was not only the director of the Third Political Security Bureau, but also held multiple positions such as the director of the Special Police Division of the First Branch of the Shanghai Municipal Police Bureau and the first secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nanjing.

Furthermore, Furukawa Masayuki was surprised to discover that Cheng Qianfan and Lieutenant Colonel Araki Harima, the action leader of the Shanghai Special Higher Police, were very close friends.

Moreover, Cheng Qianfan was also friends with Lieutenant Colonel Atsuto Kawada of the Shanghai Military Police Command. This young master of the Kawada family had close ties with Cheng Qianfan.

In addition, Cheng Qianfan was highly regarded by Imamura Heitaro, the counselor at the Imperial Consulate General in Shanghai.

Heitaro Imamura highly valued Ryono Sakamoto, who was also a close friend of Cheng Qianfan.

This Chinese man, who held multiple positions, including some with significant power, surprisingly had very good personal friendships with the Empire's special agencies and diplomatic missions. This inevitably piqued the interest of Masayuki Furukawa.

……

“Cheng Qianfan is, after all, a special person.” My grandson Shinta carefully considered his words before saying, “Such a person, if we simply maintain a good friendship and remain on the surface as objective as possible, will actually be more beneficial to the empire.”

“That makes sense.” Masayuki Furukawa pondered for a moment, then nodded.

He flicked his cigarette ash, glanced at my grandson Shinta, and said, “I’ve been paying attention to the Special Higher Police’s work lately. It seems that compared to when Section Chief Sanbenro was in charge, the Shanghai Special Higher Police’s performance in all aspects is not very satisfactory.”

“I am truly ashamed.” My grandson Shinta immediately stood up and said with a look of shame, “Despite my hard work, I have not been able to achieve the results I should have due to various factors. I am truly ashamed.”

"Various factors?" Masayuki Furukawa showed a hint of interest. "Could the 'Tent' section chief elaborate?"

"I'm truly sorry." Shinta's expression changed repeatedly before he finally shook his head and said, "As a subordinate, one should not lightly criticize one's superior."

Masayuki Furukawa gave my grandson Shinta a deep look and nodded thoughtfully.

……

The winter month of 1943 seemed more desolate than in previous years.

That winter was even colder.

Countless people in Shanghai have collapsed and died on the streets due to cold and hunger.

Yesterday alone, the Special Police Unit handled the bodies of eleven refugees who had frozen to death on the streets.

"Chiang Kai-shek made quite a splash in Cairo, Egypt." Old Huang took a sip of his hot Shaoxing wine, sighed contentedly, and said with a hint of sarcasm.

His attitude toward Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang has always been the same: deep-seated hatred cannot be easily let go.

“For the country, it is a good thing.” Lu Dazhang analyzed objectively and rationally. “The Cairo Declaration stated that all islands in the Pacific Ocean seized or occupied by Japanese imperialism, as well as Chinese territories forcibly occupied by Japan, such as Northeast China, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands and their surrounding islands, must be returned to my country unconditionally. This provided a basis for our country to recover its territory after the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan in terms of international law.”

"Moreover, thanks to the Cairo Conference, China has been able to join the ranks of the world's four major powers." Lu Dazhang paused for a moment and said, "Although this fourth power is very weak, it is a good thing that we have secured our position."
