Kojiro Kawamoto feels that the most important thing he should do now is to work hard.

Try to avoid talking to Meng Shaoyuan again.

He can see through your heart, right down to your marrow.

Humans, try to avoid talking too much to the devil.

Yes, devil.

In the eyes of Kawamoto Kojiro, Meng Shaoyuan is a devil.

A devil appears from God knows where.

But what he didn't know was that although Meng Shaoyuan defeated Kawamoto Kojiro, he still paid special attention to the Japanese.

Psychology is my specialty, and what I study is the knowledge of psychology and micro-expressions that have been summarized through hundreds of years of research by countless people.

Of course Kawamoto Kojiro cannot be his opponent.

However, for others, this is still a very, very scary opponent.

You must be vigilant and make your subordinates pay special attention to this Japanese.

At the same time, he is also certain of one thing:

The fake scene and corpse could never be hidden from Kojiro Kawamoto.

There are really too many flaws.

Kojiro Kawamoto, who was concentrating on his work, carefully inspected the bodies of Isamu Oyama and Yozo Saito.

"This is a dummy bomb." Kojiro Kawamoto stood up from the body: "During the Shanghai Incident in 1932, the Empire of Japan even protested to the League of Nations for this. Later, the Empire fought with Songbai at the Siming Office

China’s large stockpile of dum bombs was seized in Lijie. Unexpectedly, a few years later, a small security team actually possesses dum bombs?”

"That's unreasonable." Meng Shaoyuan said with a straight face: "The Kyrgyz General Regiment, the weapons that should have been destroyed long ago, why are they still here? You are simply lax in running the army. Where did these dum bombs come from?"

"It's my fault, it's my fault." Ji Zhangjian turned out to be quite talented in acting: "My subordinates, one by one... ah... let alone the company commanders and platoon commanders, one

They secretly sold weapons and bullets to the bandits. They might have stolen the dummy bullets and planned to sell them, but who would have thought that the Japanese soldiers would brazenly attack our sentry position. These lawless guys must have been anxious and wanted to sell Da Mu.

The bombs were used by Japanese soldiers."

Meng Shaoyuan almost laughed.

How can someone become the head of the regiment?

All the responsibilities were shifted to those subordinates. They kept talking about "Japanese soldiers" and "brazen attack", making it look like they were really wronged.

Kawamoto Kojiro did not continue to ask: "I found that the bodies of Oyama Yuuo and Saito Yozo had traces of secondary injuries. China and Japan started a war in Peiping. Your soldiers are very patriotic."

"How unreasonable!" Meng Shaoyuan found that he had already spoken the words "how unreasonable": "Where is the military discipline? What about the military discipline of the Kyrgyzstan General Regiment? It is an international convention to treat prisoners preferentially. I believe that our soldiers will fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

In their hands, Japanese soldiers will definitely abide by international conventions and treat prisoners with special treatment, special special treatment."

"This is unreasonable." Ji Zhangjian seemed to have been infected by Meng Shaoyuan: "Check, let me find out who dares to harm the corpse? Huh? If you find out, arrest him and put him in solitary confinement!"

Act, keep acting.

Kawamoto Kojiro completely ignored the sarcasm in the Chinese words, and at his request, was taken to the body of the Chinese "gendarme" Shi Jingzhe.

Meng Shaoyuan knew very well that this corpse could not be hidden from anyone.

Sure enough, Kawamoto Kojiro just looked at it briefly and said: "I don't know what to say. Is this man a military policeman? Look at his hands and wrists. There are obvious signs of being tied up. He was shot to death.

It was loosened only after that, so the traces of binding cannot be eliminated.

There is also this bullet mark. This was not shot from the muzzle of the Japanese soldier. There is only one possibility. Oyama Yufu and came out. They actually carried Chinese military weapons, and then used Chinese weapons to kill the Chinese.

Gendarmerie? Do you think this is possible?"

No.

"There is only one possibility." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "Japan's judo and swordsmanship are invincible in the world, and by the way, there are also mysterious ninjas. I think Oyama Yuuo and Saito Yozo must be that kind of peerless ninja masters.

When they faced the Chinese soldiers, they took the guns out of the Chinese soldiers' hands in the blink of an eye, and then killed the Chinese soldiers."

Scoundrel!

This is the number one scoundrel in the world!

Only the Japanese government has always played rogue against the Chinese government, but now, a supreme rogue has appeared:

Meng Shaoyuan!

Are there things in this world that he dare not do, and things that he dare not say?

When it comes to being a rogue, you are still far from it.

The war must be fought, and it is imminent.

The truth will definitely be discovered, and soon.

The fake scene and corpse were too rough.

So, your Master Meng, I will act like a rogue, how about that?

Moreover, you will soon make your Master Meng a little pawn.

Kawamoto Kojiro sighed: "Mr. Meng, I didn't expect you to answer me like this. Do you know the Shanghai Institute of Forensic Medicine? All the people responsible for the examinations there are European and American experts. I think they should be the most authoritative in examining corpses.

If you have no objection, I suggest that the body be sent there for examination."

He decided to report a situation to his superiors.

The Chinese tried their best to deny that they deliberately killed Japanese soldiers, and put on a rogue face. Based on this situation, the Chinese were obviously not ready for war.

Especially when such scoundrel words come from the mouth of a person of Meng Shaoyuan's level.

Therefore, the Japanese military still has time to deploy troops and generals.

However, Meng Shaoyuan knew that the other party would definitely think so.

This is also what I can do for the government and the military within my limited capacity.

Let's negotiate.

Let the Japanese continue to seize this matter and negotiate for blackmail.

By that time, the Chinese army had completed preparations for the attack.

"Then, two of us will stay and guard the body with you." Kawamoto Kojiro said politely: "As for the subsequent development of the situation, I hope we can maintain smooth communication."

"Of course, of course." Meng Shaoyuan said very sincerely: "How I hope this matter can be resolved smoothly."

"We will meet again in the future, Mr. Meng."

"Well, I think so. By the way, Mr. Kawamoto, I know an old Chinese medicine doctor who is very experienced in treating athlete's foot. Do you need to introduce him to your mother? Mr. Kawamoto, hey, why did he leave? How rude."

"My Director Meng." Ji Zhangjian pulled Meng Shaoyuan aside: "Has it been exposed?"

"Exposed? That corpse can't even be hidden from a three-year-old child." Meng Shaoyuan could only smile bitterly: "There is no need to send it to the Forensic Medicine Institute. Everyone knows that it was forged. Now it is just delaying some time."

"Well, I'll report to the superiors immediately."

"Jiji Corps." Meng Shaoyuan stopped him: "Get ready for war."

…

Ready for war.

August 10, 1937, four o'clock in the afternoon.

The Shanghai Municipal Government, Shanghai Garrison Command, Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, and Japanese Marine Corps Command negotiated the incident.

After examination by the Shanghai Institute of Forensic Medicine, it was found that the causes of death of Oyama Isamu, Saito Yuzo and three other people were very different from what the Chinese said.

As a result, Japan's attitude became tougher, claiming that the entire country was extremely shocked by the incident and demanded that the security forces withdraw their troops and dismantle fortifications.

China and Japan have tough attitudes, the negotiations have not made progress, and public opinion has intensified the situation.

On August 10, Japan transported reinforcements to Shanghai. Japanese marines landed one after another on the evening of the 12th and set up defenses in Yangshupu, Zhabei, and Hongkou areas.

The Japanese Navy's Second Fleet arrived in Shanghai on the 11th.

By the 12th, more than 30 Japanese ships and 15,000 navy and marine troops had been mobilized in Songhu.

Originally, the Japanese army was preparing to continue to increase its troops, but a telegram from the Japanese secret service stated that the Chinese army was not ready for war and would not launch an active attack on Japan's Hongkou base.

Therefore, the Japanese side decided to continue stalling for time at the negotiating table, hoping that the Nationalist Government would yield.

This is a piece of information from Kawamoto Kojiro.

In addition to this information, the attitude from the Japanese government is actually also critical.

Japan was implementing the National Defense National Policy Outline formulated by Kanji Ishihara, deputy chief of staff of the General Staff Headquarters.

The order of imaginary enemies proposed is the United States and the Soviet Union.

The China strategy is to "do basic work to stabilize Japan, Manchuria and the Northern Branch and complete preparations for a protracted war" and oppose the expansion of the war.

That means instigating a civil war in the northwest of China, building Manchukuo, consolidating North China, blocking the Russians from going south, and then penetrating into the Southeast Asia to obtain rubber from Malaya and oil from Brunei. At the same time, squeeze out the British and strive to reach out to the South China Sea.

"East India" ensures oil supply.

After this, we will engage in the "final war" with the United States.

Japan's plan in the early 1930s also included a joint navy and army plan to capture Wuhan, but in Ishihara's plan, given that the Chinese government's strength has strengthened, Japan has given up on the plan to capture Wuhan once the war starts, because that is

Japan's national strength does not allow it.

Meng Shaoyuan sometimes felt that he and Ishihara Wan'er were in Shanghai and Tokyo, playing and singing together.

After the Chinese side learned that the Second Fleet had arrived in Shanghai at 9 pm on the 11th, the Nanjing High Command ordered the 87th Division, 88th Division, and 2nd Division Supplementary Brigade to advance to Shanghai and arrived in the early morning of the 12th.

The Japanese consulate accused the troop transfer of violating the Songhu Armistice Agreement. The British and American envoys mediated the matter, and China ordered a suspension of the offensive.

On the 12th, China and Japan held a joint committee meeting on the Songhu Armistice Agreement in the conference hall of the Shanghai Public Settlement Industry Bureau. Japan accused China of violating the armistice agreement by building fortifications, and China accused Japan of mobilizing warships and replenishing armaments, which poses a threat to China.

The meeting ended without any results.

War is imminent!

Now, it is August 12, 1937, and it is only a short time before the outbreak of war.
Chapter completed!
