Chapter 342: The May 15th Five-Year Plan assassination!

The failure of the "Great Crusade" cast a shadow on the establishment of Manchukuo, and the Kwantung Army Command was under greater pressure from the country!

There are already some political forces in China who oppose the occupation of Manchuria by force. Although a puppet regime has been established, many people still do not agree with this approach.

Although the Kanto Army had its own set of theories, the cabinet headed by Inuyasu did not recognize the puppet Manchukuo government.

The Kanto Army suffered consecutive failures and the news reached Tokyo, which gave the leaders of the constitutional protection party headed by Inukatsu to express their dissatisfaction with the Army Department!

Although the political struggle in Tokyo has not yet affected Manchuria, the cabinet’s accusations and suppression of the Army Department still aroused the dissatisfaction of the Kwantung Army!

The political atmosphere in Japan also seems strange!

"Boss, can you give me a night off?" Xue Xian knocked on the door and walked in.

"What's the matter? Let's go on a date with your Xiao Lanlan?" Lu Shantou asked without raising his head.

"Boss, I bought two movie tickets. That Charlie Chaplin starred in "Golden Sprint". Qin Lan has always wanted to watch it, but there is no time. There should be nothing to do tonight, I..."

"Well, there's nothing special about it. I'm sure your fake!" Lu Shan thought for a moment, looked up and said, "I'll have fun, but I'm not allowed to spend the night outside!"

"Thank you, boss!" Xue Xian's cheeks turned slightly red.

"Charlie Chaplin?" Lu Shan thought for a moment, and seemed to have forgotten the great art of a movie!

However, if you can't chew too much, you should do what you are now and talk about it later.

"Wait, it's not right..." Lu Shan suddenly remembered something.

"Newspaper, today's newspaper..." Lu Shan flipped through the documents on the table and finally let him find today's newspaper!

"Charlie Chaplin is about to visit Japan!" Lu Shan saw an interrupted news published on the International Newspaper.

"May 15th coup!" Lu Shan remembered that a group of Japanese naval officers launched a coup on May 15, assassinating the current Japanese Prime Minister Inae Toshi, as well as former Japanese Minister of Tripitaka and leader of the Constitutional Party, Junnosuke Inoue!

This Inoue Junnosuke is the president of Yokohama Masaki Bank. He had a short relationship with Lu Shan.

There is also Charlie Chaplin, who was also listed as a member of the assassination list in this coup because he was the "culprit of the decadent culture spreading in Japan". However, it was only when Inuyasu was killed that his orthodox Prime Minister's third son Inuyasu Ken escaped by watching sumo wrestling.

If Xue Xian hadn't mentioned "Charlie Chaplin", he would have really probably ignored this matter.

However, because his little butterfly flapped his wings, many things and human destiny changed. He didn't know whether the "May 15th" coup will be launched as scheduled.

This assassination was an important step for the Japanese government to move towards the dictatorship of fascist soldiers, and it is in line with the "2006" assassination in 36 years.

Although this coup ultimately failed, the culprit of the assassination was not severely punished, but was given a lighter sentence. Next, Navy General Saito came to power to form a cabinet, and the era of Japanese party cabinet ended, and the era of military fascist dictatorship began!

Looking through the calendar on the table, there is still one week before the May 15th coup, if he wants to stop it, he can do it.

If Inukatsu fails to die, the Japanese military fascists will definitely be suppressed unless they launch a military coup on publicly!

Is this a good thing or a bad thing for China?

Lu Shan fell into deep thought and weighed the gains and losses here. On the positive side, Japan's invasion of China may be temporarily suppressed, and even the date of a full invasion of China may be postponed.

It is objectively beneficial to China, because there is more time to expand the army and prepare for war, but Lu Shan does not have much hope for the Nanjing National Government. They will continue to implement the policy of "staying home for the fight against foreign countries" as long as Chiang Kai-shek is still on the stage!

What Lu Shan was worried about was that once the Inukatsu cabinet continued to rule, it would be very beneficial to the National Government. A Japanese cabinet that was unwilling to invade China would allow Chiang Kai-shek to implement his "bandit suppression" plan with confidence.

If Chiang Kai-shek is given time, will the future of the "organization" still move like history?

Lu Shan was not sure that it had changed now, but there was no change in the future?

The little butterfly flapped its wings in the Pacific Ocean, which may have been the source of a typhoon. The flapping of its wings was already quite large, at least changing the fate of many people. After General Ma Zhanshan did not surrender, there were fewer among the four giants of Manchukuo, and several other traitors such as Yuan Jinkai died early. The establishment of Manchukuo was delayed by two months, and Puyi also let himself kill him.

Now the manchus who are puppets is his poor brother Pujie!

I am still suffering from being forced to marry by the Japanese!

The Kwantung Army no longer occupied the three northeastern provinces at a slight cost. From the beginning of the war to the present, the number of Japanese soldiers killed more than 30,000.

In other words, an elite field division was destroyed.

Such a major casualties were probably unexpected by the Japanese Army Base Camp, and they were all brought by him.

Although the Northeast anti-Japanese armed forces were severely attacked by the Japanese army, some of them were defeated and hid in the mountains and forests, many of them were still insisting on it, and the team was still expanding!

Now the largest anti-Japanese armed forces in the northeast belong to the Eastern Column - the Self-Defense Force. A large army controlled the Liaodong region, from Tumen to Fengcheng to more than a dozen counties and cities in Dandong, with a total of 100,000 armors!

Although this is just a piece of arms pieced together by a miscellaneous brand, if you give it time, it will become a powerful army in less than two or three years!

Of course, this is just ideal. In fact, both the Eastern Column and the Self-Defense Forces face various difficulties.

All of these need to be sorted out and solved.

In addition to advocating the invasion of China and not recognizing the puppet Manchukuo, the Inukai Cabinet also insisted on disarmament, which was the most deadly for the Japanese Army and Navy.

The cabinet has the finances and does not give you military expenditures. It depends on how you expand your army. If you don’t have money to buy weapons and equipment, you will not be able to use planes and warships. If the military pay of soldiers cannot be met, what else can you do?

This is a very realistic problem. Because soldiers are a special group and they control state violence, the Inukatsu cabinet is naturally hated. In addition, these soldiers are incited by fascism, so they will naturally do some irrational behavior.

From a personal perspective, Inukai Yi’s death is better than not. Why? Once Inukai Yi dies, the military cabinet will come to power, and Japan will accelerate fascism, which will inevitably accelerate the war of foreign aggression!

This gives enough excuses to eventually destroy Japan.

If Japan suddenly changes its strategy and the fascism is suppressed, we will know when Japan will launch an external invasion that day. Although they have occupied the three northeastern provinces now, they can drive them out of China at most, and there is no reason to destroy Japan!

Of course, judging from the perspective of Japanese politics, even if the Inukai Yi Cabinet is not in Taiwan, it will not last long.

Maybe he will be kicked off the stage and will not be assassinated in such humiliation!

Of course, if he interferes in this matter and is discovered in the future, it will be a troublesome thing for him. Being stared at by the secret service will never be a good thing.

After thinking for a while, Lu Shan decided to wait and see that the May 15th coup might happen as scheduled, maybe not, or refuse to happen, and he did not intend to participate.

Inuyaki was always a Japanese. His position was to stand on the interests of Japan, and his ultimate goal was to destroy Japan and be the enemy!

"Boss, it's time to have a meal!" Qin Lan pushed the door and walked in and greeted him.

"Oh, Qin Lan, you're here just right. I still have a lot of documents to deal with. Please help me cook the food and bring it here after I finish it!" Lu Shan buried his head and said.

"Okay, boss!"

Shortly after Qin Lan pushed the door open and went out, Lin Yuqin walked in.

"What's the matter?" Lu Shan asked with his head raised.

"I just received a letter from Germany. Zhao Zi and they have been admitted to the Munich Military Academy as auditors." Lin Yuqin whispered.

"Admissioner?" Lu Shan frowned slightly.

"Their German language is not very good, so they need to pass the exam before they can officially become formal students!" Lin Yuqin explained.

"Oh, that's right, are they still used to it there?"

"They said it was very good. Zhao Zihe and Li Chaolan had excellent admission grades and were valued by senior military academy leaders. As long as German can keep up, they will become formal students!" Lin Yuqin said.

"Very good, are there anything they don't adapt to?" Lu Shan asked, "or what do you need?"

"No, they said it's very good. The Germans are not only a bit rigid, but they are still very friendly to people!" Lin Yuqin said.

"Well, tell them that I spent money to send them to Germany to study, so they don't have to worry too much about life." Lu Shan said.

"yes!"

"Is there any news from the United States?" Lu Shan asked. Lin Yuqin was responsible for the external contacts.

"Not yet, it's been more than a month since they sent a message that they arrived in New York safely!"

"Well, I got it, you go out and do things." Lu Shan nodded.

After using a simple working meal, Lu Shan became busy again. Because he had to leave Fengtian for a while, he had to make arrangements for nearly two months of work so that he could return to the army with confidence!

"Boss, Yoshino Akichiro of Showa Chamber of Commerce is asking for a meeting!"

"Yoshino Kaichiro, I don't know this person." Lu Shan asked strangely.

"That day, in the train waiting hall, the first person to hand you a business card." Xue Xian said.

"Oh, it's him, I didn't say anything?"

"It is probably because of the cooperation in the industrial park. Now it's spreading outside, and I'm waiting for you to decide the charter!" Xue Xian said.

"Oh, this matter cannot be delayed. I will leave again soon. If you are not suitable to be responsible for this matter, Yuqin has many things to do, which is really a bit troublesome!" Lu Shan frowned.

"Why don't you let Cao Mo do this job?" Xue Xian suggested, "Although this kid is a little slick, he still knows the right way. I don't think it's a big problem to find a few people to help!" Xue Xian suggested.

"Cao Mo is still in a bad mood, it really doesn't work. Let Qin Lan take responsibility!" Lu Shan said.

"Xiao Lan, can she do it?"

"Aren't you helping me? When you encounter something difficult to decide, you can discuss it and report it to me!" Lu Shan said.

"Well, let her try!"

"Qin Lan is now my special assistant, and she is safe and qualified to handle these things." Lu Shan said, "If cooperation is less than 500,000, unless you have special circumstances, you can decide for yourself. For those from 500,000 to 1 million, you, Qin Lan and Yuqin, just report it to me. For those of more than 1 million yuan, you three will first draw up an opinion and report it to me. You can only grasp this principle, and you should not interfere too much in Qin Lan's work, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Xue Xian nodded. Lu Shan was cultivating Qin Lan's ability to deal with incidents. How could he not see it?

"Please invite people in. I've come here. If I don't see you, I'll be too embarrassed." Lu Shan ordered.

"OK!"

After a while, a middle-aged Japanese man wearing a top hat and a bit bloated figure, with a glance at the mustache walked in.
