The conscience drama "The Pretender" has created a spy war story between the Aki clan of Shanghai Beach and the Japanese special high school, and today we will pick up Yoko Nanda, who died tragically in the drama.
The historical prototype of Yoko Minamida is Yunko Nanzo, known as the "Flower of Empire" in Japan, who is a Japanese ace female spy with the same name as Yoshiko Kawashima, who is extremely secretive and it is still difficult to find her photo. She was active in the Chinese battlefield during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, repeatedly sabotaging the Nationalist government's anti-Japanese plans, and assassinating Chiang Kai-shek twice without success, which brought huge losses to the Chinese War of Resistance.
Shanghai, 1929. Nanzao Yunzi disguised himself as a waiter at the Tangshan Hot Spring Guest House of the Ministry of National Defense of the Nationalist Government, taking the opportunity to approach senior officials of the Nationalist Government and steal intelligence. At that time, the senior officials of the Nationalist government were also corrupt, and they could not hold on to political principles when they saw the beauty, so that Nanzao Yunzi easily obtained intelligence, including the report of the military facilities of the Wusongkou Fort, and the leakage of this information led to the defeat of the Nationalist government on the Battlefield in Shanghai.
Nanjing, 1937. Nanzao Yunzi mixed with the refugees fleeing the war and mixed into Nanjing. By various means, she quickly approached Huang Jun, the chief secretary of the Executive Yuan of the National Government, and Huang Sheng, deputy section chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and plotted against the two as Japanese spies. With the help of Huang Jun's right to attend high-level meetings of the Nationalist government, Nanzao Yunzi obtained through him many of Chiang Kai-shek's plans for fighting against Japan and Chiang Kai-shek's important itinerary, and twice plotted to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek.
After several leaks of the contents of the Supreme Military Conference, Chiang Kai-shek gradually began to suspect that Japanese spies had infiltrated the upper echelons of the Nationalist government. Because the scope is limited to the top, everyone turns their suspicions to Huang Jun. Later, in the "Central Military Academy Assassination Case", the phenomenon of Japanese agents riding Huang Jun's car further strengthened everyone's suspicion of Huang Jun, so they began to track Huang Jun.
In the process of Huang Jun and Japanese spies exchanging small top hats to convey information, military command agents quietly dropped the letters in the small top hats, and successfully captured Huang Jun and a group of spy members lurking inside the National Government, and Nanzao Yunzi was also involved. After a military court trial, Huang Jun's father and son were publicly executed, others were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, and Nanzao Yunzi was sentenced to life imprisonment and imprisoned in Nanjing's Tiger Bridge Central Prison. However, a few months later, the Japanese attacked Nanjing, and Nanzao Yunzi took advantage of the chaos to escape from prison and flee to Shanghai to continue espionage activities.
After that, it is the activity of Nanzao Yunzi in Shanghai's Japanese special high school. During his tenure as section chief, Nanzao Yunzi repeatedly went to England and France to rent, arrested anti-Japanese figures and military command agents, destroyed military command strongholds, and also supported the headquarters of Wang pseudo agents represented by Ding Mo Village and Li Shiqun. And the nationalist government intelligence department's multiple assassination plans against Nanzao Yunzi were also frustrated because they were too cunning.
In April 1942, one night, Nanzo Yunzi drove out alone, and the secret agents of the military command secretly followed. (And in the TV series, MingCheng worked hard to get Yoko Nanda into Minglou's car) Near the Paramount Coffee Shop on Xiafei Road in the French Concession, Nanzao Yunzi got out of the car and prepared to go in. At this time, the agents of Sanming's ambush here fired all the bullets, and Nanzaku Yunzi fell down in response to the sound, dying on the way to the hospital, only 33 years old, and the flower of the Empire withered!
