Episode 9

Battle of Shanghai

Battle of Wuhan

Battle of Changsha

In these major battles

General Liang made great achievements

He is the man

General Liang and I

are here

to discuss the masterplan with you all

Let bygones

be bygones

At the last moment of the war

your contribution now is what counts

So long as you contribute to

the stability of your region

we will leave bygones behind

Zhou Fohai gave me this

Ta Kung Pao

A gift from Masanobu Tsuji

Ta Kung Pao Japanese Major General Masanobu Tsuji pays tribute to Chiang's mother Yesterday morning, the Japanese General Staff participated in A public memorial service to Chiang's mother in Xikou, Fenghua, Zhejiang

Well, he knows what a good gift is

Masanobu Tsuji

paid tribute to the Commandant's mother

which means he wants the peace talks

He has been contacting me

on that Japanese radio station

I'm just pretending to play his game

It's quite good

Fake peace talks?

My requirement is that

he is gonna help us

wipe out Yasuji Okamura's

gas and ammo depots

You asked me to send him a telegram, right?

Peace cannot coexist with assassination and bombing

Do you forget it?

m 0 0 l 2034 0 2034 78 0 78

That's what you call pulling the plug?

Well done

I'll meet him here later

Can I meet him?

No

As soon as I bring assassinations and bombs

to an end

you will see him

Safety first

Minister

you have visitors

This way, please

Masanobu Tsuji paid tribute to Chiang's mother

which really shocked

Liang Tong

The Japanese forces he represents

is holding out an olive branch

Zeng Guangxi has made it clear that

Masanobu Tsuji was the one coming for peace talks

which confirmed Liang's judgment on Tsuji's conspiracy

But Zeng Guangxi's fake peace talks

are really what he has been trying to find out?

m 0 0 l 2034 0 2034 78 0 78

Masanobu Tsuji is coming here

The truth is coming out

Yuexin Trading Firm

Xinglong Pharmaceutical

It's a Tian Hu!

Can't believe it

You have such good fortune, Yang

Arrest the gamblers!

Madam Soong is running the New Life Movement

Mahjong does not fall into

the category of the New Life Movement

You are so naughty!

Really

Let me introduce them to you

Hey

This is my cousin, Zhu Lili

This is Yang

Hello

Hello

We passed by here. Just come up and have a look

A special introduction to my cousin's husband

Zhao Hengxuan

He works for the government

This is Yang. I…

General Liang's wife?

Yes!

I'm Zhao Hengxuan

I work for Minster Zeng

We've met before

but haven't talked to each other

You do look familiar to me

It's getting late. You guys have fun

Don't leave us, Yang

We were just having a good time

It's really late now

Well then, you take the money

No!

We were having fun

Just forget about me. I gotta go

See you

Yang, please take the money

No, thanks

Yang, let him take you home

I'll take you home, Miss Yang

Lili, have fun with the girls

Lily, come here. Take Yang's place

Let me tell you

She had good fortune here

Yeah?

Have you ever seen a game partner like this?

Didn't even take the money

Let's keep playing

Cathay Theater

Waterloo Bridge

Thank you for bringing me home

You're welcome

General Liang's family is also my responsibility

Good night

Thanks

Miss Yang

Keep it down. The children are all asleep

Why did you come home so late today?

I have a situation with my colleagues

Go and get a good sleep

Yasuji Okamura's Operation Gyokusai

He Yingqin's Battle of West Hunan

Could they both be fake moves

coming for peace talks in secret?

Liang Tong is covered in sweat at this thought

Could it be planned that

he was excluded from the Battle of West Hunan?

Zeng Guangxi is working on it for real

Yes, it is

Masanobu Tsuji

When he just learned from Zeng Guangxi that

it would be Masanobu Tsuji who came to the secret peace talks

Liang Tong has already made a plan

It's time for action

But at that moment

he hesitates

He suddenly feels that

his decision is not right

Zeng Guangxi

is too astute to trust him

that he would show up in the conference room

for whatever reason

But he is anxious to know

the truth of their meeting

He has to take the chance

Then, someone passes through his mind

Shouren, my shoulder board is missing

I need you to find it for me

Probably it was left in the conference room

or somewhere in the corridor

If you find it, bring it to me

We finally make our way here

Even though we had never met before

we've already collaborated with you

Chairman Chiang is gratified by

your visit to his mother

He wants to thank you for this

It's a nice gift

He has recognized

your sincerity

Did General Liang also come to Shanghai?

Your intelligence is very accurate

Mr. Yu, why are you still up this time of the night?

General Liang lost something

He asked me to find it

Minister and Mayor are still in a meeting

Do you think I didn't know that?

Mr. Yu

What's your problem?

Minister

General Liang lost something

He asked me to look for it

Get out

Yes, sir

If General Liang knows about our peace talks

it would be a disaster for us

As a hawk

what would he do?

If our peace talks don't go in secret

it won't work definitely

The public unsuccessful peace talks

will be a fatal blow to Japanese forces

We had better keep him silent

It's the best cover for our peace talks

What General Liang did in Calcutta

I still remember it

Really?

Well, do you still remember

the telegram I sent you?

Assassinate General Liang

Bomb Chongqing

Try to kill Chairman Chiang

Are these what you called sincerity for peace?

That's the priority of our talks

We accept

peace talks

But you have to respect the rules

We want a result satisfactory to both sides

Otherwise, we will end the talks immediately

General Liang came here

to solve Yasuji Okamura's bombing

It also requires your cooperation

That's an essential precondition for peace talks

This is the letter of appointment

Chairman Chiang asked me to bring here

He appoints Liao Bin

as the plenipotentiary delegate of the

Chongqing Government for peace talks

It's an official appointment

Liao Bin will serve as an envoy

on a mission to Tokyo, Japan

Distinguished Liao Bin: You are appointed as the plenipotentiary delegate of the Chongqing Government

for the discussion of comprehensive China-Japan peace in Tokyo

Hereby Notice Chiang Kai-shek March 10th

Now it's up to you

The Japanese station in Chongqing will be protected

as a bridge of contact between us

Thank you

China-Japan peace talks

will go down in the history of both countries

right?

Come in

General, I found it

It's right outside the conference room

I'll put it right here

Have a good rest, General

Thanks

What did Yu Shouren hear?

He has a deep hatred for the Japanese

He would never agree to peace talks

just like every Chinese civilian

Liang Tong is thinking

how to

break down the barrier between him and Shouren

He believes

Yu Shouren certainly has the same idea

No.8, Jialing Village, Chongqing Residence of Bai Chongxi

Hey, Feiyun

Mr. Bai

Have a seat

You call me here so early

What's the emergency?

Have a seat

I got insomnia

Glad that you're here

Will you check my pulse?

Okay

Any problem?

Nothing serious

It's just that

you have something on your mind

Well, you tell me

what's exactly on my mind?

If I don't get it wrong

it's the deputy thing

Mr. Bai

It doesn't matter

really

I'm also the Deputy Director of the Operations Department

Deputy as well

That's why I called you here

Do you know what Liang Tong has been working on recently?

Mr. Chiang asked Liang Tong to

schedule the post-war National Army garrison plan

Really?

The post-war National Army reception

may change the forces of each faction

And the forces will determine

the future position

Deputy or not does matter a lot

I discussed with Li Tsung Jen

And we want you to come up with a plan

We can compare

our plans

and have a further discussion

We can't let the Central Army take all the advantages

And we're always left out

We'll be very grateful to you

It's my pleasure

Well

I'm waiting for your good news

Mr. Bai, it's time for breakfast

All right, bring it here

Good morning, General Liang

Good morning

Minister and Mayor have told me

not to wake you up

Let you have a good sleep

Where is the Minister?

He's out with the mayor

They will come back later

General

breakfast on the second floor?

No need for that

Why not come out with me

and have some breakfast together?

General

if you want to go out

the security…

I have you. Nothing to worry about

Let's go

General

The files of Wang Musen

I've got several men

working on it since last night

Because it's from a long time ago

we need some time to finish it

When the war ends

the Communist Party will be our arch-enemy

The files here need to be sorted out

I get it

I have told them to take this opportunity

to sort out the files here

What have we got now?

The last ten years' files are all here

We have checked them all

and didn't find anything

Go on

until you get something

Yes

Minister

I'll let you know as soon as we get something

Report!

General Liang has left No.76

Foochow Inn Clean and Tidy Safe and Comfortable

I'm ready

Make a detour, parallel with him

Speed up, and wait for him at the next corner

Butterfly Gas Lamp Electric Fan

General

that was pretty dangerous

General

was that all part of your plan?

You must be hungry

Quite a bit

We should look for the two rickshaw men first

Give them some money as compensation

And then, have breakfast

Okay

Such a good chance

will never come again

Get out!

Yes

General

thank you so much

I owe my life

to you

It was me that got you into this

I presumed to take a rickshaw

It's too easy to be a target

Don't say that

If it wasn't you

I would have been killed by the Japanese

Put aside all these

Sit down and eat

General, I can't do that

Now I have to report

our location to the Minister

Have breakfast first

I have your back

All right, General

What did the sentry say?

The sentry saw General Liang and Yu Shouren go out together

No idea where they went

Check out the nearby cafés and restaurants

Report!

Ten minutes ago, there was a shooting incident

near the Scott Road

Two carters were attacked

No injuries are reported

It was suspected to be the Japanese

I get it

General Liang is probably safe

Yu Shouren is a good-for-nothing

You get to the site right now

Search carefully

Make sure you find General Liang and bring him back

Yes

Let us know immediately

whatever the police station reports

Minister and I will be waiting right here

Yes

Where is Masanobu Tsuji?

I want to see him right now

This double-faced bastard

Okay, I will get him

Do you know who's trying to kill me?

Masanobu Tsuji, the man we met last night

Did you know it?

Sakugawa is the assassin

Masanobu Tsuji sent to Chongqing

Bastard!

I knew he was up to no good

I heard last night that he was going after you

to cover up their thing

He killed my brother

My hatred for him is from both sides

All we Chen Zizheng's disciples

have a deep hatred for the Japanese

Now we're the only ones alive

in our class

Only I can avenge them

He'd better not give me any chance

I'll kill this bastard

as soon as I get a chance

You need to look for your chance

Minister

is having fake peace talks with them

so as to make him coordinate our attack on

their gas and ammo depots

and destroy Yasuji Okamura's plan for air raids on Chongqing

During the peace talks

we may have a good chance

I am at your disposal, General

Shouren

do you know why I came out today?

No

I was afraid that

I had stumbled into the real peace talks

In that case

I would be a traitor to our country

just like Wang Jingwei

A traitor that cannot be forgiven forever

Impossible

It's impossible

If they were actually having peace talks

then we Chen's disciples were all sacrificed for nothing?

All my classmates died for nothing?

If the peace talks are all real

the Japanese attacking me this morning

will affect the peace talks

General Liang

You're putting your life on the line for this bet

And I took you with me

You're the same

Now that you're doing this

I will definitely follow you anywhere

You can rest assured that if someone wants peace talks

I will turn against him immediately

I will show my attitude when the time comes

This is the letter of appointment

Chairman Chiang asked me to bring here

General

yesterday, I heard them mention that

Chairman Chiang appointed

Liao Bin as the delegate

for the discussion of something

on behalf of the National Government

General, it's about time

I really need to report

our location to the Minister

You go on with your breakfast

I go downstairs and make the phone call

Okay

Liang Tong was true

Chiang Kai-shek's holograph

proves that the peace talks are real

The fact shocks Liang Tong

He has to think seriously about

if the peace talks will really guarantee

China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity

China's located at

the core of Northeast Asia

China won't be allowed to

stay neutral

And China cannot be neutral

Because China is not yet a country that

can compete with the Soviet Union and the United States

Peace talks will not change anything

If the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression

ends in this way

none of the Chinese people will agree to it

Heliena's Fur

Heliena's Fur

is still there

It was a secret contact point in Shanghai

set up by Luo Haobin two years ago

Looks like

this contact point is still working

This is the second purpose for Liang Tong to dine here

He is distraught that he was temporarily cut off from the organization

He must report to the organization the secret contacts

and peace talks between Chongqing Government and Japan

and then take other steps

Chongqing U.S. Embassy

Mr. Hurley, Mr. Shi is here

Hello

Welcome, my old friend

It has been such a long time

First of all, I'd like to express my great pleasure at

your return to the Foreign Ministry

and being in charge of the U.S. affairs

How did you know that?

This hasn't been announced yet

Yes

I just learned about it

Well, I'm lucky to be the first to know

Yes

Thank you so much

for your support in Calcutta

We are the family

Mr. Shi

please allow me to formally

express my feelings at this moment

Nice to meet you again

It's nice to meet you in China

Me, too

Miss Melanie offered us

a great help

Please have a seat

Okay

This is the battalion commander who raised the white flag

A coward

He's the one who got Mr. Zhou into trouble

Yes

I had it done today

This guy will remain in his cell

until we receive Shanghai

You've helped me so much

We should not show any mercy to traitors

Minister, General

Masanobu Tsuji

denied that he had anything to do with the assassination

This bastard

Don't believe a word from him

General, you'd better not take any action randomly

Tsuji wouldn't dare touch you in public

but it's hard to say what he would do in secret

Besides, Kagesa Agency

is now basically in his hand

Just hold your horses

We'll go for him

after we blow up Yasuji Okamura's depots

When will you take action?

Tonight

I'm in

I was not allowed to participate in the Battle of West Hunan

You cannot still refuse me for such a small battle

We need those who can speak Japanese

But you? Forget it

It's too dangerous

I will not die easily

You are the diamond Minister Chen gave me

and you also got an important assignment from the Commandant

If something bad happened to you

I can't even go back to Chongqing anymore

I won't get you into any trouble

General Liang

if you do any favor for Masanobu Tsuji

that is going to stand by our enemy

The negotiation with the Soviet Union has begun

This is the biggest diplomatic event

since our founding

It's of great importance to the future of our country

We need support from the US

Once the Soviets occupies Northeast China

will they allow the National Government

to take it over?

There is no chance

for the National Government

to win in Northeast China

The Soviets need to have interests in Northeast China

Honestly

The principle of the U.S. government is

driving the implementation of the Yalta Agreement

And I've spoken out

in Washington

I am in opposition to

the Yalta Agreement

After the anti-fascist war

communism will be our enemy

It's inevitable

So, what can we do

for now?

What will we do?

Have a seat

Mr. Masanobu

General Liang

we are old rivals

General Liang

I lost badly in London and Calcutta

You sent someone to kill my brother

You killed my brother, too

He died in a strange land, London

Sakugawa also paid his price

I don't want to be your opponent anymore

You are a formidable opponent

I'm glad that we're working together

This is prepared especially for you

Made in Japan

Aren't you afraid that I'll blow your head off with this gun?

General Liang is quite humorous

See you tonight. I'll be off now

When the weapons and ammo arrive

reacquaint yourselves with them

Yes

Try the uniform on

The woman's name is He Meihui

Just a view of her back

Can't really see it

Kind of like her

Any more pictures?

It's the only picture

She is mysterious

There were several times

she just disappeared even before we met her

Even this photo

was taken when we were hunting her down

But there are some written records

Who is she?

From the Special Operations Division of the Communist Central Committee

After Gu Shunzhang surrendered to CBIS

he was trying to get her

And Wang Musen is the executor

He almost caught her once

It's strange that

from then on, He Meihui

never appeared again

When is it?

1933

What a coincidence!

Because of the disappearance of He Meihui

this case has been unsolved ever since

Who else had access to this file?

Everyone who had access to this file

are all dead

Shanghai Paramount Hall

I really can't drink anymore

Pan Sansheng President of Shanghai Reserve Bank

Haobin, I finally get you here

Come on

Give me a hug

Have a drink

Have a drink

I'd better get on with my business first

It's the bonus of the last deal

As you requested

I changed it into hard currency

Haobin, you're a decent man

Cheers

Have a seat

Okay

The New 4th Army's medicine business

went exceptionally well

I found the military business

is really a good thing

Of course

The gold comes

after the gunfire

That's an interesting saying

The business in the turbulent age

also has its ways

I heard someone from Chongqing had arrived in Shanghai

procuring military supplies?

No, I never heard that

Before I came here

I heard that in Chongqing

Chairman Chiang sent someone to Shanghai in person

Mayor Zhou has a good relationship with Chongqing

He couldn't have been unaware of something like this

If he knows

you must know it, too

I had never heard about the procurement

Haobin

I would never hide Chongqing's procurement

from you

We have been

working together over the years

Have a drink

Some people did come to me

However

I had never heard about the procurement

Haobin

you are well-informed

Their visit is totally confidential

As I see it

business and intelligence are the same things

You're right

Maybe they are working on something else

Now everyone is finding a way out for themselves

Haobin

Relax

Shanghai is still our Shanghai

Minister Zeng is here

Don't forget that

we have dealt with BIS procurement many times

He will tell us whatever he wants

By the way

the one who came here with Minister Zeng, Liang Tong

is the Deputy Director of the Armaments Department

Armaments Department?

That's a unit providing large procurement

Yes

Do you know Director Liang?

I wish

If I know this guy

I would never worry about my business

Listen

I'll talk to Mayor Zhou

and ask him to

help us make connections

Our business in Chongqing will be grand

Cheers

Ghost Child is out of touch

which means he needs more help

Luo Haobin received Fang's instructions

to get back in touch with Ghost Child as soon as possible

and tell him that Ghost Child has arrived in Shanghai

Luo Haobin is the sole contact

He is also responsible for protecting Ghost Child

You can't fly an aircraft without gas, right?

A combat aircraft is useless without any bombs, right?

I'm going to blow up Okamura's

gas and ammo depots

And then no aircraft can go up anymore

That's the target tonight

The depots are at the southeast of the airport

General Liang

Let's confirm our plans again

Japanese Military Depots at the Airport

Stop! Inspection
