Chapter 316

The clouds of war have shrouded Shanghai in the past two days, but the most tense thing is Nanjing.

People in various departments of the Nanjing party, government and military were in panic as if the end was coming. Some shouted peace slogans and even clamored to move the capital. Of course, there were also militants.

Lu Ming felt that he was completely calm at this time, and seemed to have mastered the atmosphere of the venue. He continued: "Seniors and officers, since you have been captured by the strong men, you must work honestly. I will share some of my thoughts on the current situation.

Let me talk about the immature analysis and conclusions. The words of a reckless man are chosen by a saint, and maybe they can also give some reference to your seniors and superiors."

"Little guy, just say it directly, no need to be modest." Chen Mingshu said loudly.

He is the commander of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison and the leader of the Cantonese clique. Regardless of his official position or seniority, he is not intimidated by anyone present.

"Actually, the only conclusion I have to say is that the Japanese want to create a local conflict in Shanghai this time, rather than start a full-scale war with us." Lu Ming directly expressed his conclusion first.

"Why don't you tell me your reasons? On what basis did you make this judgment?" It was Chen Lilao who spoke.

Lu Ming smiled and said: "My basis is based on the following aspects. First, from the intelligence point of view, my intelligence was provided by a friend in Japan before the first conflict in Shanghai, that is, before the Japanese monk incident on the 18th.

Conveyed to me.”

"Then who is this friend of yours? Are this person's words credible?" The questioner was the mayor of Nanjing, whom Lu Ming knew. The mayor also attended the last establishment ceremony of the Blue Clothes Club.

"Mr. Mayor, I cannot reveal my friend's name. If I reveal his name and position here, Japan will soon know about it and it will cost my friend's life." Lu Ming said seriously.

"Yes, friends must be loyal. If you betray your friends, is it still called a person?" Chen Mingshu said.

Hearing what Chen Mingshu said, the mayor of Nanjing turned pale and stopped talking.

"I can reveal that my friend is a direct participant in the action plan against Shanghai planned by the Japanese government and the Japanese military, so the information is completely credible." Lu Ming is indeed confident about this point.

When he said this, the people below started talking. It was obvious that most people did not know the specific reason for the incident.

Lu Ming had never mentioned Muto's identity before. Even when Mr. Jiang asked, he said it was not convenient for him to leak the intelligence source, and Mr. Jiang did not make it difficult for him.

Lu Ming continued: "Let me talk about this intelligence first. Judging from the series of events currently happening in Shanghai, it has been confirmed to be correct. This intelligence shows that the Japanese want to create a low-intensity local conflict in Shanghai. The specific steps are to first

Tanaka Takayoshi, the military attache of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, and a Japanese spy named Kawashima Yoshiko planned the bloody conflict between the people of the two countries. I call it a Japanese porcelain operation."

There was no laughter this time. Many people knew Tanaka Takayoshi. He was a military attaché at the Shanghai Consulate. Although he had only been in office for a short time, he had also attended various government occasions.

Who is Yoshiko Kawashima? Everyone whispered to each other and asked each other, but most people still looked confused.

"The Japanese monk incident on the 18th, which is the bloody conflict that the Japanese are now seizing and making a big fuss about, was planned and executed by these two people. According to our subsequent investigation, it was not us who killed and injured the two Japanese.

workers, but Japanese agents who infiltrated the ranks of workers.”

Lu Ming looked at everyone firmly, his eyes no longer evasive, his courage gradually rose, and the timidity in his heart slowly receded.

"Do you have any evidence for saying this?" Mayor Wu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but stand up.

If there is evidence, he can use the evidence to fight back against the Japanese, and he will not have to be blackmailed by the Japanese.

"I'm sorry, Mayor Wu. Those dozen so-called unidentified people are all well-trained Japanese agents. Their tactics that day were to attack quickly and leave quickly. After causing a bloody conflict, they saw the patrol officers coming to deal with it.

The dispute was quickly evacuated without leaving any evidence for us to catch. Judging from the various details of the post-investigation, only well-trained agents can do this. Except for Japanese agents, whether they are workers or gang members, absolutely no one can do this.

It is impossible to achieve such perfect tactical coordination."

Many people below nodded frequently in agreement, but Mayor Wu sighed. There was no evidence and only reasoning, and there was no way to fight back against the Japanese.

Lu Ming also knew that such words could only be discussed internally and could not be used to negotiate with the Japanese, so he could only say sorry.

"In this Japanese monk incident, the workers' volunteers of Sanyou Industrial realized in time that the Japanese were intentionally trying to cause trouble, so they took restraint and self-defense measures, which made the Japanese's plot to create a large-scale bloody conflict go bankrupt. They

I felt that the intensity of the "Porcelain Touching" campaign was not enough, so I encouraged dozens of Japanese youths living in Shanghai to set a fire at the Sanyou Industrial Headquarters and organized a parade of Japanese overseas Chinese."

Lu Ming continued to describe the series of events that occurred in Shanghai and expressed his own opinions based on the facts.

"Well, I saw the conversation between you and the commander of the Japanese Marine Corps in the newspaper. It was obvious that they had colluded in advance. The Japanese were acting." General Wenbai expressed his approval of Lu Ming.

"Seniors and officers, so far, the Japanese conspiracy has not succeeded because of our restraint and caution, so I think there is a third step in their plan, which may happen in the next few days." Lu.

Ming continued according to his own thoughts.

"Then do you think the protest statement by the Japanese Consulate and the declaration of war by the Japanese Navy this morning are all false threats from the Japanese side?" The person asking the question was a person in the back row whom Lu Ming did not recognize.

The people sitting in front were all big bosses and heads of state. They were relatively reserved and generally did not ask questions. After all, the person standing on the stage was a young man.

"It's not a false threat. This is part of Japan's overall plan. They are playing a game." Lu Ming explained.

"You said the Japanese set up the game, have they succeeded in this game now?" Another person in the back row, dressed as a civilian, asked.

"Japan's combat plan this time is divided into three steps. The first step is to create a large-scale bloody conflict. The second step is for the Japanese consulate to use this matter to put pressure on us and make unreasonable demands to blackmail us. The Japanese Navy

The statement issued has the same meaning as the statement issued by the consulate, but it is just another attempt to put pressure on us to give in."

"Now that the Japanese have completed the first two steps of the plan, is the war inevitable? And it will start soon?" Mayor Wu asked dejectedly.

"Yes, it is inevitable. I think it will not take more than ten days before they will implement the third part of the plan. The Japanese marines will attack our troops, and the Japanese warships' cannons will also attack our targets on land, taking off from the aircraft carrier.

The planes will bomb us indiscriminately."

"Ah, doesn't that mean we are going to start a full-scale war?" A person in the back row lost his voice.

He didn't mean to ask a question, but he was talking to himself, but the voice was a little too loud, and it sounded like a question.

"No, the Japanese's goal this time is very clear, which is to create a low-intensity local conflict, and it will definitely not be a full-scale war." Lu Ming explained.

"Why do you say that? Don't the Japanese pretend to attack Shanghai by attacking east and west? In fact, they want to contain our elite troops in Shanghai and then attack Nanjing." The Nanjing mayor's question was more like speculation.

"Mr. Mayor, if the Japanese really want to attack our capital, they will completely break up with us and start a non-stop all-out war. But Japan cannot afford a total war now. The reason is very simple. They don't have it.

Money." Lu Ming explained.

"The Japanese don't have money? It's impossible, right?" This is the question asked by Minister Song of the Ministry of Finance.

"Mr. Minister, the Japanese really don't have the money to maintain the army to fight a full-scale war. Let me take the liberty to analyze it below.

"I would like to hear this. You said that the Japanese have no money. I don't quite believe it. They have built so many warships and airplanes, which shows that they have a lot of financial resources." How does a country's financial resources matter? Minister Song has his own

Set of calculation methods.
