About This Novel
In 1915, on the eve of Yuan Shikai's proclaimed emperor, a copy of the "Twenty-One" secret agreement related to the national destiny mysteriously disappeared in Shanghai. The four forces of Japan's Special High School, British MI6, Beiyang government spies, and the Revolutionary Party's intelligence network are competing for life and death in Shanghai, Nanjing, Harbin, and Chengdu. The protagonist Chen Mo - who appears to be the inspector of the patrol house in the Shanghai Concession, but is actually a member of the "hidden line" of the Revolutionary Party - must retrieve the secret contract within 30 days. On January 18, 1915, in the cold wind on the Bund in Shanghai, a secret agreement that would change China's destiny was secretly circulating. Japan's Minister to China, Hichi Oki, secretly submitted the "Twenty-One" requirements to the Yuan Shikai government in an attempt to turn China into its protectorate. While the negotiations were ongoing, a complete copy of the original Japanese document disappeared from the vault of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai. The core of this spy war is a "four-nation game": This is a true spy novel and a true historical story!
