"Don't any of you idiots have any brains? Haven't you been repeatedly forbidden to attack Lu Ming? You still dare to attack Lu Ming, aren't you afraid of losing your head?"
Yoshiko Kawashima, dressed in men's clothing and with short hair, cursed at Seigoro Ozawa, Yu Ying'er and their entire action team.
Ozawa Seigoro also restrained his former arrogance and arrogance, and Yu Ying'er lowered her head and remained silent.
The other team members were naturally trembling like chills.
Except for Ozawa Seigoro, everyone else was a little puzzled and didn't understand why Kawashima Yoshiko protected Lu Ming.
Ozawa Seigoro was fortunate that when he ambushed Lu Ming, he did not hurt the opponent, and he stopped the attack immediately after Lu Ming reported Muto's name. In this way, there was still room for change.
After Ozawa returned to Shanghai, he hurriedly contacted the military attache at the consulate and inquired about the relationship between Lu Ming and Muto.
General Muto's request was approved by the General Staff Headquarters and is also valid for special personnel like Kawashima Yoshiko.
Therefore, even though Kawashima Yoshiko knew that Lu Ming had issued a reward for her, she did not take retaliatory measures, but moved to Tianjin and Peking.
After the attack on Lu Ming occurred, Muto telegraphed to the Shanghai Manchurian Railway headquarters and once again issued a clear ban on Ozawa and others.
Ozawa Seigoro believed that General Muto's friendship with Lu Ming was not just a classmate, but also a more profound strategy.
Of course, what Muto said was high-sounding and left no clue. How to interpret it is another matter.
This is also a characteristic of Japanese culture. One sentence has multiple meanings and can be interpreted differently at different times.
Muto said in the telegram: China and Japan can engage in intelligence warfare, but they cannot engage in assassinations or kidnappings, especially these actions against Lu Ming.
After Ozawa and others saw the telegram, they had nothing to say. As for whether Muto really gave Lu Ming "special care", this was not something they should know.
After returning to Shanghai, the Manchuria Railway Action Team was ordered to be grounded. The orders from their superiors were very strict and they were not allowed to step outside the Japanese Concession to prevent another violent attack.
Lu Ming has arranged for An Gonggen's men to hide outside the Japanese Concession. As soon as the Manchurian Railway Action Group appears, they will immediately target them and wait for the opportunity to kill them.
"Do you think General Muto is just because Lu Ming is his college classmate? Let me tell you, this is just one aspect. On the other hand, Lu Ming is very important to us. We will need people like him when we occupy Shanghai in the future."
Yoshiko Kawashima was wearing riding boots, pacing back and forth, making a clicking sound.
"What use can Lu Ming be? In the future, when we occupy Shanghai, people like him will still have to be killed." Yu Ying'er plucked up the courage to say.
"That's a matter for the future. It's useless to tell you. You don't understand anyway. Remember, any action taken against Lu Ming in the future must be reported to the headquarters staff headquarters. You are absolutely not allowed to act without approval." Kawashima Yoshiko said sternly.
shouted, waving a riding crop in his hand.
Ozawa is not afraid of Yoshiko Kawashima. In terms of status, he is much higher than Yoshiko Kawashima. Moreover, he is from the General Staff Headquarters and has a stronger backstage than Yoshiko Kawashima.
Kawashima Yoshiko's backstage is nothing more than the Black Dragon Society and Mantetsu. She has only been appreciated by many high-level officials in Japan for her talents and achievements.
It can be said that Kawashima Yoshiko is a person with great hands and eyes.
She was able to navigate between various forces with ease. On the Japanese side, she was able to get in touch with Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, and on the Kuomintang side, she was able to extract key information from Legislative Yuan Sun Ke.
By virtue of her aristocratic status and innate beauty, Kawashima Yoshiko is also active in the social scene.
There are countless men who fell under her pomegranate skirt, first the Mongolian Prince Kangyurzabu, then the regiment flag bearer Yamaji Hiroshi, the secret service chief Tanaka Takayoshi, the Japanese army officer Yamaga, the right-wing leader Sanmitsu, and the puppet Manchukuo adviser Shun Tada.
, writer Muramatsu, speculator Ito Sakaji, etc.
"But my brother died in his hands, how could I not avenge this revenge!" Ozawa Seigoro argued with red eyes.
"Revenge, revenge, you know revenge. Shiro died for his country. It is certainly a sad thing, but he messed up a lot of things and ruined the Kwantung Army's major events. He was not forced to death by Lu Ming. He
He committed suicide to apologize to the emperor. Make no mistake." Yoshiko Kawashima responded unceremoniously.
Of course, Ozawa Seigoro knew the reason. His brother also wrote this in his suicide note. However, Ozawa Seigoro didn't think so. He felt that if Lu Ming hadn't disrupted the situation, his brother's mission would not have failed, and naturally he would not have failed.
Commit suicide to apologize.
In a word, in the final analysis, Ozawa Seigoro believed that Lu Ming must be blamed for his brother's death.
Yoshiko Kawashima also knew that it would be difficult for Ozawa, a slender head, to suddenly wake up, but he was still wary of orders from the General Staff Headquarters.
If Ozawa dares to disobey the orders of the General Staff Headquarters, his end will be even worse than that of his brother.
Kawashima Yoshiko's return to Shanghai this time was not to deal with Ozawa's blocking of Lu Ming. She had a more important mission.
Kawashima Yoshiko will hold secret talks with Dai Li and initially agree on a joint anti-communist plan between China and Japan.
Because of the robbery of the Japanese arsenal in Shanghai, Dai Li negotiated with the Japanese many times. In fact, the Japanese just lost face. The arms in that warehouse were insignificant to them. Japan did not lack such arms.
The problem was that when the arms were in the hands of the Communist Party, Chairman Chiang was very angry and ordered that a similar situation should never happen again.
Seeing that an opportunity had come to drive a wedge between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters ordered the military attache of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai to first contact Dai Li secretly to discuss a plan for joint action against the Communist Party.
Dai Li was of course very interested in this, but he did not dare to agree hastily and could only report it to his superiors.
After He Zhonghan received Mr. Jiang's instructions, he asked Dai Li to talk about it first, but he was not in a hurry to formally sign the secret agreement.
Dai Li also knew that the 128th Armistice Agreement had just been signed, and if it was known that he had secretly contacted the Japanese to discuss joint anti-communist affairs, it would probably cause an uproar.
The press, in particular, is very sensitive to any news from Japan. If they find out that the leader of the Renaissance Society is colluding with the Japanese secret service, they will definitely make a big deal out of it.
It is conceivable that anti-Japanese activities such as school strikes, strikes, and market strikes would subsequently occur in major cities across the country, and even the Republic of China government would probably be hard-pressed to survive alone.
Kawashima Yoshiko was also summoned to secretly come to Shanghai to meet with Dai Li for a second round of secret negotiations. However, Dai Li was not very active and has not yet agreed on a time and place for the meeting.
Ozawa Seigoro and Yu Ying'er had reconciled after they came back, and he realized that what Lu Ming said about a threesome, etc., were all nonsense and a lie to him.
Only one thing that Lu Dazui said is true, he and Muto were indeed classmates in the United States.
Wulang put down his airs as a Japanese man and took the initiative to apologize to Yu Ying'er. This was a rare thing for a Japanese man, so Yu Ying'er forgave him.
Although Wulang is indeed much worse than Shiro, who makes him look so similar to Shiro? Seeing him is just like seeing Shiro, and Yu Ying'er's heart softens immediately.
She hated Lu Ming as much as Wu Lang. Si Lang was her true love and her first man, but he died because of Lu Ming's humiliation and grievance.
If Silang died on the battlefield, she would be proud of him, but because of Lu Ming's bad methods, Silang had to commit suicide to apologize. This was a shameful way of death, which made her feel ashamed.
"Lu Ming, I will never let you go. Aren't the higher-ups not allowed to do anything to you? Then I will let you taste something else, making you more uncomfortable and painful than death." Yu Ying'er lowered her voice and said crazily.
roared.
"Yes, we must not let him go. If we don't attack him directly, we will attack his weak points and let him taste a taste more uncomfortable than death." Wulang also said harshly.
The two of them were venting in Yu Ying'er's office in the Mantetsu Building, but the door opened and Kawashima Yoshiko came in again.
"By the way, I just forgot about the prohibition above. Not only can't you attack Lu Ming, but you can't attack his family, unless there is conclusive evidence that they are Communists." Kawashima Yoshiko shook the riding crop in her hand.
said.
"Isn't his anti-Japanese crime considered guilty?" Ozawa asked, squinting.
"No, China has more than 400 million people, and at least 400 million are against Japan. Do you want to kill all 400 million Chinese?" Yoshiko Kawashima said scornfully.
"Why do you want to protect him like this? He is not Japanese, nor is he our ally, just because he is a classmate of General Muto?" Ozawa was really angry.
"Do you think General Muto alone can get so many bans issued? A pair of idiots." Yoshiko Kawashima sneered, turned and left.
