In fact, Li Yixin knew that Masao Yamashita had already connected with the mysterious Japanese sleeper spy when he heard that the Japanese secret service had given Yamashita Masao the task of purchasing bristles.
This latest order must have been relayed to Yamashita Masao by the Japanese spy lurking in Chongqing.
I don't know if Lao Zhang and the others have tracked the Japanese sleeper spy, and what happened after the tracking.
And from the original intention, Li Yixin is very reluctant to smuggle the bristles to the Japanese devils, he knows very well that the Japanese have a pathological pursuit of the bristles, you must know that the bristles can be made into a brush for cleaning the cannon barrel, after the artillery has been used for a certain period of time, the inside of the barrel of the artillery will leave some gunpowder residue for various reasons, and the tools used to clean the cannon barrel can be cleaned up relatively cleanly, so the Japanese will need a large number of bristles.
Li Yixin's brain was running rapidly, and he was thinking of what excuse he could use to refuse the task of purchasing bristles.
Seeing that Li Yixin had been silent, Yamashita Masao couldn't help but say anxiously: "Boss Li, you are very right, but this order is directly issued by His Excellency the Director, and we have no room to refuse to carry out this task at all."
I'm wondering if I should hurry up the rebellion against Boss Lu.
Once we turn against Boss Lu, he may be able to help us buy the bristles and smuggle them out.
After all, he should have a very secret channel for transporting materials, otherwise how could that shopkeeper succeed in the business of smuggling tobacco and soil?
” Li Yixin couldn't help but get nervous when he saw that Masao Yamashita hit the head of Xinglong Firm one by one.
Because he knows very well that Deputy Director Ye will not refuse any profitable business.
If Deputy Director Ye knew that the Japanese wanted to purchase bristles through his secret material transportation channels, as long as the Japanese were willing to pay a large price, then Deputy Director Ye was very likely to be tempted for the sake of money.
Therefore, Li Yixin felt that he could not let Masao Yamashita's idea succeed, so he said with some hesitation: "We don't know how the secret material transportation channel of the Xinglong Firm works.
If we purchase bristles and want to transport them back through this channel, I don't know if there will be any problems on the way.
In the past, all that Xinglong merchants shipped out was tobacco, which was a very common smuggling material for warlords, so it was easy to clear the customs.
But pig bristles are different, this kind of material is strictly controlled by the Chongqing government and not sold.
If we are found out on the road, it will inevitably be confiscated, and even traced, and maybe Boss Lu who pulled us into the water will be exposed.
At that time, our 'wind and rain plan' was a failure of geodesy. ” Yamashita Masao didn't expect Li Yixin to have a clear objection to his idea, he felt that Li Yixin was a little afraid, which of course did not rule out that Li Yixin's starting point was different from his.
Because the purpose of Li Yixin's visit to Chongqing this time was to carry out the 'wind and rain plan', to lure or find officials within the Chongqing city government who were willing to secretly cooperate with the Japanese Empire.
As long as he succeeds in luring down a Chongqing government official, Li Yixin will be considered to have completed the task.
He was different, he had to carry out the orders of His Excellency the Chief, and he was well aware of the importance of such things as bristles to the Imperial army.
Therefore, Masao Yamashita put pressure on Li Yixin very seriously and said: "Boss Li, maybe you are not engaged in spy work, so you are not interested in the task of purchasing pig bristles and smuggling them back.
But I can tell you responsibly that this new mission is as important as the 'stormy plan' you are carrying out.
Therefore, I strongly recommend that you act according to the orders of His Excellency the Director, even if it is Yukio Fujita, as long as he carries out the orders of His Excellency the Director. ” Masao Yamashita's words were not said harshly, but the tone was unquestionable.
And he also made it clear to Li Yixin that if Yukio Fujita knew about this new task, he would definitely ask Li Yixin to comply with it.
Li Yixin saw that Masao Yamashita's attitude was very tough, and he knew that he could no longer continue to insist on his own views and go down.
In that case, it is very likely that it will not be good for your future latent work.
So he could only compromise and said, "Old Sun, I understand what you mean."
It's not that I don't want to do this new mission, but I just want to bring up some of the drawbacks of this new mission.
But since you have decided that you want to do this through the Chongqing Xinglong firm, then I will obey the order.
It's just that if something goes wrong in the future, I can't take responsibility. ” "Don't worry, the order of His Excellency the Chief of the Agency was given to me, and I insisted on this method, so even if something goes wrong in the future, it has nothing to do with you.
All you have to do is help me pull that Boss Lu into the water.
Masao Yamashita said strongly.
Li Yixin suddenly asked with some confusion at this time: "Old Sun, we didn't bring a radio station to Chongqing, how did you get in touch with Shangfeng?"
How did the new assignment assigned by the Commander of the Agency you mentioned pass on to you?
” Yamashita Masao thought that the reason why Li Yixin asked this question was that he was a little puzzled about his sudden proposal for this new task, worried that he was pretending to be a holy decree.
However, before he left Shanghai, he was told by His Excellency the Director that the existence of the 'ghost' must be kept strictly confidential and not disclosed to anyone.
Therefore, he could only explain vaguely: "Don't ask this Boss Li, this is a secret belonging to our 'Mei Agency', so I'm sorry I can't tell you." ” Li Yixin saw that Yamashita Masao was tight-lipped, and knew that Yamashita Masao would definitely not tell the truth, so he showed a skeptical look on his face, which just showed his disbelief in Masao Yamashita's explanation.
Seeing that Li Yixin looked very suspicious, Yamashita Masao didn't explain, but asked Li Yixin not to think about it, or to induce Boss Lu of Xinglong to secretly cooperate with the Japanese Empire as soon as possible.
The next day Li Yixin went out again, Yamashita Masao did not follow Li Yixin, he is now more at ease with Li Yixin, from his observation during this time in Chongqing, it seems that Li Yixin has been doing his best to implement the 'wind and rain plan', the main target is the boss of Xinglong firm.
What Yamashita Masao didn't know was that Li Yixin's trip this time was actually to meet Lao Zhang, and he was very concerned about whether Lao Zhang discovered the mysterious Japanese hidden spy by following Yamashita Masao yesterday.
For this reason, Li Yixin drew a circle at the door of the Shunfeng Hotel when he went out.
