Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 392 Who is truly shameless?

1937 7 Month 26 Day.

Three major events occurred on this seemingly ordinary night.

the first thing.

On his way home after a banquet, the commander of the Japanese concession garrison in Japan, Kneeling Shiro, was attacked by a mysterious gunman.

Despite the guards' desperate resistance, Kneeling Silang managed to escape unscathed, but he was hospitalized due to his injuries.

Rumors then began to circulate widely.

The man who was promoting his obsequiousness to the Fourth Prince had his manhood broken.

The dignified commander of the Japanese garrison was transformed overnight into a eunuch without any male characteristics.

The news sent shockwaves through the Japanese concession and even alarmed mainland Japan.

That night, the headquarters sent an urgent telegram, demanding that the Japanese concession military police arrest the murderer and solve this major case within three days.

But this case doesn't even need to be solved.

Within two hours of the incident, the Japanese military police's undercover agents, who had been stationed in the French Concession, had already uncovered the details of the event.

The mastermind behind it all has been found.

It was none other than the Sha Xun family, who had just suffered a severe blow.

The third-generation direct descendant of the family, who loved to eat Dafeng Sha Xun, died tragically, and the $1.5 million ransom is difficult to recover.

The money-obsessed Shahsin family, of Jewish blood, has gone completely mad.

They demanded the return of the lost $300,000 from the sycophantic Shiro, who, relying on the military might of the Eastern Empire, refused to pay. This ultimately angered the Sasuke family.

The Sha Xun family then launched a bloody revenge against the sycophantic Shiro.

If it were someone else...

The Japanese military police will definitely take immediate action to bring the murderer to justice and give an explanation to the Japanese headquarters.

But the Saxon family was different; behind them stood the vast John Bull Empire.

With both sides having reservations, this seemingly serious assassination attempt ultimately devolved into a point of contention and bickering at the negotiating table.

It's impossible to reach a conclusion without months of arguing.

Second thing.

At around 3 a.m. that night, at the mouth of the Huangpu River, the Japanese warship Izumo was attacked by the enemy.

After a brief skirmish, the enemy detonated the bombs they had brought with them.

As flames soared into the sky, the Izumo-class battleship, a source of great pride for the Japanese, was reduced to wreckage and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

According to the battle damage information in the internal bulletin of the Japanese after the incident, none of the 218 naval soldiers and 23 officers of various ranks on duty on the Izumo survived after the battleship sank.

This incident was hailed by the East Asian Navy as the greatest disgrace in thirty years.

The most bizarre thing is...

There were only four people who sank the battleship Izumo this time.

Two men and two women.

Of the four, only one managed to board the Izumo battleship that very night. He was also captured and arrested by Sakai Mieko, a Japanese spy who was hiding on the Izumo battleship.

In the end, something is unclear, but the man who was supposed to be arrested escaped. Before leaving, he even detonated a bomb he had planted beforehand.

This incident sparked a new round of infighting between the Japanese army and navy.

They accused and insulted each other.

If it weren't for the intervention of cabinet members, the Japanese army and navy might have engaged in a bloody conflict over this matter.

Compared to these two major international events, the third incident that occurred that evening, although also significant, caused far less of a stir.

On the night of July 26, an unknown group suddenly struck, burglarizing the residences of more than thirty traitors, corrupt officials, and unscrupulous merchants in one night.

The losses amounted to over one million US dollars.

Upon hearing this news, Ye Shaohong was also stunned.

In the early hours of the second day, he only received a total of $420,000 in cash and antique silver dollars from Li Yunlong and He Jian. How could the difference be so huge?

But then.

Ye Shaohong then suddenly understood.

What do you mean by over a million US dollars? That's just a gimmick deliberately exaggerated and publicized by these traitors, corrupt officials, and unscrupulous businessmen.

Their losses are considerable.

The exact amount certainly exceeded the more than 400,000 US dollars that Li Yunlong and He Jian had given him.

But it will definitely not reach the level of more than a million.

These heartless bastards are only revealing such a large sum of money to deliberately play the victim.

Firstly, they could use this to curry favor with their masters and publicize their losses.

On the other hand, there was also the idea of ​​using this to incite conflict in Shanghai, to sway people with money, and to get various forces to help them find the culprit.

In short, they all had their own ulterior motives.

These guys deserve to be torn to pieces; they're all cunning old foxes.

She's very shrewd.

Ultimately, regardless of what these people were really up to, the widespread dissemination of this rumor still caused Ye Shaohong considerable trouble.

the reason is simple.

Ye Shaohong had already reported the theft on the night of July 26 to the Jinling Special Service Headquarters via radio.

The report was submitted to Section Chief Dai Yunong.

When the Shanghai station reported the events of the evening of July 26 in detail, Dai Yunong at the Jinling headquarters was shocked.

He was shocked by the open and covert struggles between the Sasson family and the Japanese.

They were also shocked by the sinking of the Izumo.

However, neither of these two events were orchestrated by him or the Secret Service personnel, so Dai Yunong was merely shocked, not deeply moved.

What shocked him most was the operation led by Ye Shaohong.

In one night, they robbed the homes of more than 30 traitors, corrupt officials, and unscrupulous businessmen, stealing over a million US dollars worth of valuables. This made Dai Yunong extremely envious.

He couldn't wait any longer and personally drafted a telegram to Ye Shaohong, pressing him for details of the incident.

He also urged Ye Shaohong to expedite the delivery of the seized assets back to the Jinling headquarters.

After translating the latest intelligence telegram and seeing the order personally written down by Dai Yunong, Ye Shaohong's face immediately darkened. He slammed his fist on the table and couldn't help but curse repeatedly.

"Shameless." "A shameless scoundrel."

Who is Ye Shaohong cursing?

In fact, even he himself didn't know.

He was cursing those traitors, corrupt officials, and unscrupulous businessmen, and he was also cursing Dai Yunong, the head of the Special Service Department.

These guys are all insatiable bastards.

But what could he do?

Although Ye Shaohong is no longer the low-level soldier who just joined the Special Service Department a few months ago, his current position is only enough to protect himself.

They are far from being able to cause the mountains and rivers to tremble with their anger.

Finally, under the terrified gazes of Li Yunlong and He Jian, Ye Shaohong had no choice but to personally draft a telegram, resubmitting the details of the theft operation on the evening of July 26 to the Jinling headquarters.

The report was submitted to Section Chief Dai Yunong. Upon learning that Ye Shaohong had personally led the operation that evening and had only managed to obtain 420,000 yuan in banknotes, gold bars, and antiques, Dai Yunong, who was inside Villa No. 1 of Honggongci, collapsed into a chair.

"Shameless."

"A heartless and shameless scoundrel."

Like Ye Shaohong, Dai Yunong was also cursing loudly, but no one knew who he was cursing.

In any case, Dai Yunong's face immediately darkened.

It was as black as the bottom of a pot.

After a long silence, Dai Yunong ultimately did not blame Ye Shaohong. Instead, he drafted another telegram, instructing Ye Shaohong to depart as soon as possible, return to Jinling, and bring back the spoils of the operation to headquarters, where they would be handed over to him.

Incidentally, he also sent a commendation order to Ye Shaohong and Li Yunlong.

It was explicitly stated that a promotion would be given. However, the cunning old fox, Dai Yunong, did not describe the specific method of reward in detail in the telegram.

He only said that after Ye Shaohong and Li Yunlong returned to Jinling, he would personally preside over their promotion ceremony, at which time the Chairman might also attend in person.

Upon receiving the reply telegram, Ye Shaohong remained silent.

He was silent for a long time.

In the end, he could only let out a soft sigh, raise his head, and look at Li Yunlong.

"Get ready."

"Let's set off as soon as possible and return to Jinling!"
