Spy Wars: I have space, but I choose to work alone

After reading today's newspaper again, Wang Tianmu, the station chief of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station, and Li Zecheng, the deputy station chief, looked at each other in shock.

"Is this mysterious person crazy enough to take action during the Japanese Army's Tencho Day celebration on April 4th?"

Wang Tianmu said to Li Zecheng in disbelief.

There was a reason why the two were so shocked.

The Tianchang Festival of small days originated in the Tang Dynasty. It was originally used to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and was called the "Qianqiu Festival".

During the Tianbao period, it was renamed "Tianchang Festival". The word "Tianchang" originated from the term "forever" in Laozi, and later spread to Xiaorizi, where it was stolen and turned into a reference to Tianhuang's birthday.

It is one of the four most important festivals in ordinary days, especially for ordinary people who deify the locusts in the sky, it is an extremely important festival.

The corresponding safety work for the Tianchang Festival celebrations was naturally done quite well.

Li Zecheng was a little confused about what Ma Liang was thinking, but he still expressed his guess:

"Stationmaster, ever since the Korean ambassador, General Shirakawa, was killed by a Korean patriot Yun Bong-gil with a bomb during a military parade at Hongkou Park in Shanghai on April 1932, 4."

"The Japanese army put a lot of effort into the security of the Tianchang Festival celebrations. The innermost layer was composed of ordinary people and well-known traitors. Even the reporters were ordinary reporters and foreign reporters."

"The outer layer within 500 meters is under martial law by regular Japanese troops, and the outer layer within 500 to 1,000 meters is under martial law by puppet police."

"The defense is so tight that not even a fly can get in!"

"We at the station have tried our best but have not been able to think of a way to disrupt the celebration. The best we can do is get closer to 500 meters with the cooperation of the fake police insiders. As for going further, there is no way."

The Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station is not there to sit back and do nothing, so they will naturally not let go of such a great opportunity.

They had started preparing for the sabotage activities half a month ago, but had no idea where to start due to the tight defenses of the Japanese army.

Wang Tianmu also nodded to show that he agreed with Li Zecheng's opinion. He also couldn't figure out how to break through such a tight defense circle to cause damage.

"Stationmaster, since we can't effectively disrupt the Tianchang Festival celebrations, why don't we have our brothers create a few big explosions outside to at least give Xiaorizi some eye drops and disgust them."

Li Zecheng suggested.

Almost as soon as Li Zecheng finished speaking, Wang Tianmu immediately spoke out to stop him.

"No, the headquarters issued another order yesterday. Without permission, no military personnel can take any action against the Japanese army to avoid excessive provocation of the Japanese army."

The reason why the Military Control Commission Headquarters issued this seemingly incredible order is very simple.

国府从1931年的九一八事变开始到1941年12月9日正式对日宣战的10年间，从未放弃过对日媾和的想法。

The National Government initiated peace talks three times:

The first time: the "Secret Negotiations between Ugaki Kazunari and Kong Xixi" in 1938.

The second time: The Hong Kong negotiations between Du Shishan of the Fuxing Society and the small-time people Kayano Nagatomo and Ogawa Heikichi in 1939.

The third time: the "Tong Operation" (also known as the "Song Zliang Operation") negotiations between Hong Kong and Macau in 1940.

As for the Xiaorizi side, they have proactively proposed countless requests for peace, but most of them ultimately failed due to uneven distribution of interests.

Especially in 38, not long after the Nationalist government lost its capital Nanjing, there were a lot of calls for peace with Japan.

Under such circumstances, how could they allow the assassins from the Military Control Commission to target Xiao Rizi?

What if I make Xiao Zi unhappy and refuse to "negotiate"?

Under this subtle attitude of the National Government, the Military Control Commission carried out large-scale assassinations behind enemy lines, most of whom were killed by traitors who were also Chinese, and rarely assassinated ordinary people.

After listening to Wang Tianmu's words, Li Zecheng reminded:

"If that's the case, then why don't you inform Xiaori about this? Don't let this cause a large-scale diplomatic incident."

Wang Tianmu did not speak immediately, but hesitated for a moment before answering:

"You and I are soldiers. Soldiers should obey orders as their first duty. We must strictly follow the orders of the headquarters, but we can't control other people."

"Didn't you just say that? We can't find a way to break through the defense. Even if the other party has great magical powers, what can they do? Less trouble is worse than more. Let's just pretend we don't know about this."

"Yes, the webmaster is wise!" Li Zecheng answered loudly with a hint of expectation in his tone.

After the conversation, they both looked at each other tacitly and smiled at each other.

In Shanghai's Hongkou Park, a large number of flowers and colorful flags are covering the entire Hongkou Park.

Throughout the park, a large number of Japanese workers were busy making the final arrangements, and a large number of Japanese military police were monitoring the layout of the entire venue, with a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps.

Kenji Doihara, the head of the Special High Technology Department in Shanghai, and others including the Shanghai Military Police Commander are inspecting the most grand Tianchang Festival celebration this year which will be held in three days.

Colonel Shimizu Tosan, who is in charge of the internal security work of the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters and is in charge of the specific security arrangements, is introducing the security work to the Military Police Commander and Doiyuan Kenji:

"Everyone, please note that the layout of the venue and the transportation of materials will all be handled by vetted citizens of our country. No Chinese will be used. In addition, we will still send military police to conduct on-site security and supervision during the construction."

Everyone nodded, and then, led by Qingshui Dongsan, they walked to the roof of a building next to the park.

Qingshui Dongsan pointed to a four-man machine gun crew on the rooftop, ready for battle, and then introduced:

"Please see, everyone. The area within a 500-meter radius of the venue is guarded and on alert by military police. All commanding heights within this range are guarded by a complete machine gun team to deal with any possible saboteurs."

After checking the security of the Tianchang Festival venue, everyone went to a room to continue the meeting:

"This Tianchang Festival celebration is of great significance. Not long ago, our invincible locust army successfully captured the enemy's capital, which dealt a heavy blow to the resistance confidence of the Celestial Empire government and the people."

"The military wants to use the grand military parade to celebrate the Tianchang Festival to showcase the Locust Army's military prowess and make the still wavering upper-class people in Shanghai completely turn to us and serve the Locust Army with all their strength."

A Japanese major general representing the military explained to everyone at the meeting the significance of the Tianchang Festival celebration.

Kenji Doihara, the Shanghai-based head of the Little Days Special High Technology Company, continued:

"Although we have received reports from insiders, the desperate gang of the Military Control Commission has been suppressed by their government's orders and will not take the initiative to cause trouble."

"But we still cannot let down our guard at the venue because there are still a large number of unyielding resistance forces among the people who may cause sabotage."
