Before the reorganization and expansion of the Kwantung Army, the total number of troops was only over 30,000, including the local garrison, while the Northeast Army had hundreds of thousands of troops.
Hejian's plan concluded that the Northeastern Army did not dare to resist. As long as the Kwantung Army launched an attack, most of the Northeastern Army's defenders would choose to surrender rather than resist desperately. What they would have to face was sporadic resistance.
The Kwantung Army would leave a gap for the Northeast Army and force them to quickly evacuate the Northeast.
If everything goes well, they can control the large and medium-sized cities and fortresses in the Northeast within a week, and the entire Northeast within two months.
But the plan must be perfected and perfected. If there are any flaws, it will turn into a series of bloody casualties and even lead to the failure of the entire plan. In that case, it will be a disaster for the entire Kwantung Army.
Just when he took out the plan, his hand stopped in mid-air and he felt his heart suddenly sink into the abyss.
The plan had been tampered with, this was his first judgment.
He checked carefully again, and indeed, the plan had not only been touched, but also taken away, because a hair he had caught in the plan was missing.
This is his habit of keeping secrets for many years. Every top-secret document will have a hair stuck in the middle. Once someone touches the document, he will find it in time.
He lay down and looked for it on the ground, but there was no such hair.
He called his entourage outside and asked him if he had touched his briefcase.
The attendant was trembling with fear and swore that he had never entered the room at all. He had been standing outside on guard.
Colonel Hejian scolded him sharply and asked if anyone had entered this house.
The attendant replied that he did not find anyone entering or leaving the room. He only saw the eldest lady of the Sheng family passing by, but no one went in.
Colonel Hejian stepped forward and slapped him in the face, making stars appear in his eyes.
The attendant was stunned for a while, remembering the maid who suddenly appeared and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him and wink at him. At the time, he thought it might be an affair, but now that he thought about it, it was a scam.
He told the matter honestly, and Colonel Hejian understood. He immediately went to Sheng Di and insisted that Sheng Muyi had entered his room and stole one of his top-secret documents.
Because Sheng Muyi was the only one passing by during this period, and she was most familiar with the structure of the houses and corridors here, and knew how to be invisible. The appearance of that maid was 100% caused by the smoke she released.
In fact, Hejian did not have conclusive evidence, but now he could only conclude that when the second suspect could not be found, the first one must be the perpetrator.
If Mu Yi is an experienced spy, there is no need to admit it, and there is no need to deliberately strengthen the security of the inner house.
After all, no one saw her enter that room, and the evidence had been taken out of Liuyuan by Yuan Ziyuan, so she was completely safe.
If she were a qualified spy, she would definitely be calm and relaxed, and generously invite Sheng Di to search her room. This is the best way to silence the Japanese.
But Sheng Muyi not only had no espionage experience, she was also frightened and completely confused.
This was the first time in her life that she had done such a sneaky thing. She was so angry, anxious and annoyed, and her mind was in chaos.
So when Sheng Di came to her angrily, she panicked and admitted directly. Not only did she admit that she had entered that room, but she also scolded Sheng Di.
Sheng Muyi scolded him for being ignorant. These Japanese people had no good intentions. They were not businessmen, but soldiers, and they were invaders who wanted to attack Chinese territory.
She was still lucky at the time, thinking that Sheng Di had been deceived by the Japanese, and that Sheng Di was blind by treating them as guests in a muddle-headed manner.
Sheng Di didn't need to ask any more questions. Sheng Muyi's scolding directly proved that she had stolen the document.
However, Sheng Muyi was still smart and kept her guard up in her panic. She did not admit to stealing the plan. She just said that she saw the plan out of curiosity and guessed the Japanese invasion intention.
Sheng Di didn't know what to do at that time. After all, he always respected his sister very much and listened to her words. But the matter involved in this matter was too big and he couldn't bear it at all.
If my uncle knew that he was cooperating with the Japanese to do such a thing, he would have to skin him. This is one. Second, if the 520 action plan is leaked, the Japanese will not spare him.
"Sister, please don't tell anyone about this, otherwise we will all be dead. Just pretend you didn't see the document and pretend it never happened. Okay?" Sheng Di begged.
"Okay, then let this never happen. Go tell the Japanese that their conspiracy has been exposed and they can't succeed. Let them put an end to their conspiracy to invade China as soon as possible." Sheng Muyi
said angrily.
"It's impossible, sister. They have already made a plan. No one can stop them. Even if the young marshal is prepared, he still can't resist. Besides, the Japanese don't want our land, they just want it.
If we change the ruler, whether the Northeast is in charge of the Young Marshal or Xuantong, what does it have to do with us? The Northeast is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Shanghai, and no one can control anyone." Sheng Di said boldly.
"Northeast China is also China's land, and the Japanese cannot be allowed to run wild there. Even if Marshal Zhang cannot be replaced by Marshal Li, it is China's internal affairs. We cannot let the Japanese do this with bayonets." Sheng Muyi said angrily.
"Sister, you are being unreasonable. When the Japanese and the Russians were fighting in the Northeast, what did our country do? We remained neutral. The Northeast is no longer a place where we Chinese can decide. That is where the Japanese died.
One hundred thousand soldiers worked hard to recapture it from the greedy and bloodthirsty Russians. If the Japanese had not sent troops, Northeast China would have been robbed by Lao Maozi." Sheng Di also shouted.
"Do you know what you are talking about? If you speak like this, you will become a traitor and a traitor. You will be cut to pieces. Do you know? When did you become a lackey of the Japanese?" Sheng Muyi was not only angry, but
I was shocked.
She didn't understand how her brother, who had always been very obedient, could become so virtuous, and how he could say such bastard things so openly and plausibly.
"Sister, I am not a lackey of the Japanese, I am just a collaborator chosen by the Japanese." Sheng Di said proudly.
"Cooperation? Why do you and the Japanese want to cooperate?" Sheng Muyi's eyes widened angrily.
Sheng Di thought for a while, since she had discovered Japan's plan to sneak attack the Northeastern Army, it didn't matter if she knew about Manchukuo.
He told the story of his cooperation with the Japanese in preparing to take the deposed emperor Xuantong back to the Northeast and establish Manchukuo.
"You...do you know what you are doing?" Sheng Muyi was simply dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
"Sister, we won't lose money on this transaction. They used Manchukuo's future national tax revenue as collateral. The Japanese are very trustworthy." Sheng Di was actually still calculating his financial accounts.
Sheng Muyi was so angry that he laughed wildly. Japanese people are trustworthy? Why did this sound so fresh? It was just like someone saying that tigers and wolves also eat fast and chant Buddha's name.
"Sister, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Movement is irresistible. The earlier we join, the more benefits we will get. If we wait until others have succeeded, we will not be able to get in even if we sharpen our heads. This is the trend of the times.
No one can resist, those who follow will prosper, those who go against will perish, there is no middle way." Sheng Di continued to say.
If he could successfully bring Sheng Muyi over to be his ally, he would no longer be afraid of his uncle. Although he knew the hope was slim, he would still do his best.
"You...you did this when you went to Japan?" Sheng Muyi regretted it to death. She knew that Sheng Di's unscrupulous thoughts must be directly related to his one-month trip to Japan.
If she had known this, even if she tied Sheng Di at home, she would not have let him go to Japan. Although he had many minor problems, they were still human problems, not now, he was already a ghost.
"Yes." Sheng Di said, holding his neck.
Sheng Muyi held it back and almost cried.
Sheng Di was still talking to himself: "When I arrived in Japan, I realized that we are just a frog in the well. We have no idea how powerful the Japanese Empire is now. They have modern armies and weapons, including aircraft, cannons, tanks, and modern warships.
, it’s no worse than others in the United States.”
"Don't tell me this. This only shows that the Japanese are crazy. They will pay the price for this." Sheng Muyi also wanted to persuade Sheng Di who was standing on the edge of the cliff.
