He took over as commander-in-chief as he wished, but after taking office, he found that it was different from what he imagined. First of all, he did not have the prestige of Tian Junliu and could not convince the public.
Tian Junroku was the commander of the Central China Expeditionary Force before. After returning to China, he served as the chief of bodyguards around the emperor and as the prime minister of the land.
He fought for the interests of the Army, broke with the Prime Minister and eventually resigned.
Tian Junliu has a high prestige in the army.
Now he has become a marshal.
Okamura has been developing step by step, and coupled with his relationship with Saijo, many people now believe that it was Saijo's mistake that brought the empire to its current state.
People with this view will naturally not be particularly convinced by him.
Secondly, Youzhai Literary Society was so powerful that there were ten division commanders. The Wenzhai Literary Society had so many officers, almost all over the army, and the lowest were at the level of regimental chief of staff and regimental captain.
The literary society was firmly under the control of Ishihara Hiroshi. Without Ishihara Hiroshi's nod, he could not even order these people.
Gangcun understood that if he wanted to take power quickly, he must win a big victory.
When others did not support him, he used his direct relatives and supporters to forcefully launch the Battle of Western Hunan, hoping to enter Sichuan through Western Hunan and then capture Chongqing.
The battle has been going on for more than twenty days now, and the progress is not satisfactory.
Not only was there a shortage of food, there was also a shortage of weapons and ammunition.
Japan's domestic industry has suffered a major blow. If it hadn't been for the lack of major wars in China recently, its ammunition would have been exhausted.
He can procure weapons and ammunition from other places, but food is difficult to obtain.
With no other option, he, like Tian Junliu, came to seek help from Ishihara Hiroshi.
After all, every time there was a shortage of food during the war, Ishihara Trading Company always helped, not only providing food but also helping with transportation.
"Kangcun-kun, it's not that I won't help. You can check it out. Ishihara Trading Company has no food now, and the granaries everywhere are empty."
Chu Lingyun sighed. Gangcun was not Tian Junliu. He had already reported the information about this battle to Chongqing. Gangcun was destined to be impossible to succeed.
As for food, I won't give it to him at all.
"I understand, I don't need too much, whole grains are fine."
Gangcun replied softly, but Chu Lingyun still shook his head: "The sea transportation is not smooth. Now we only have food collected from China, which can barely maintain the cities. Now that we have given you food, the people in the city have no food. I am afraid there will be big trouble next."
.”
The Ishihara Trading Company was indeed out of food. Under the blockade by the Americans, the Ishihara Trading Company reduced the import of various materials in order to avoid damage to the fleet.
Even Boss Dai can't get the goods, let alone Gangcun.
"There's really nothing we can do."
Chu Lingyun shook his head. This war was initiated by Gangcun himself. He wanted to take power and establish prestige as soon as possible. Chu Lingyun did not need to issue a clear order. He could only tell the members of the literary society that he was not optimistic about this war.
If he is not optimistic about it, the people in the literary society will not be active.
Okamura returned disappointed. He failed to get what he wanted from Ishihara Hiroshi. He had to fight this battle again, no matter how difficult it was.
Now they still have hope of completely defeating China. If they cannot defeat China, they will be doomed when the homeland cannot support it.
Germany has been defeated, and Japan's time to survive is limited.
As time enters May, the weather gradually becomes hotter.
Gangcun really worked hard for this battle, and the troops at his disposal were limited. He let the front line advance regardless of the cost, but the mountains in western Hunan were too restrictive for their heavy weapons.
In addition, the resistance of the Guo army was very strong, and the current advance was very unsmooth.
When there was no food, Gangcun asked people to snatch food from the people. As a result, more people resisted, and guerrillas in various places took the opportunity to expand, making them even worse.
On May 1st, the Japanese Combined Fleet announced its disbandment.
The Combined Fleet existed in name only and there was no need to keep this name. The Army finally saw the Navy fall, but this was not the result they wanted.
What the Army wants is to completely suppress the Navy, not for the Navy to be defeated by others.
Without the navy, the army also tasted the bitter pill.
Fortunately, China was fine. Many places in Nanyang were continuously bombed by the Americans. The British had their hands free and began to attack the Japanese, hoping to regain their colonies.
On the 3rd, the British occupied Yangon, making life even more difficult for the Japanese troops in Myanmar.
On May 8, Germany formally surrendered, leaving Japan with only a few puppets as its allies, and the Japanese mainland suffered continuous bombing.
Anyone who is not stupid now understands that the Japanese are at the end of their rope, and many traitors are busy looking for people from the Kuomintang, hoping to avenge their crimes and make meritorious deeds so that Japan will not be liquidated after its defeat.
Among them, the traitors in Nanjing were the most active.
Chongqing, Military Command Headquarters.
"Boss, Ding Mo contacted us again and provided us with some valuable information."
Secretary Qi reported in a low voice that now is not a few years ago, many traitors would take the initiative to come over and provide information or other things without them having to take any action.
"Collect the information and stabilize him first."
Boss Dai snorted coldly. Ding Mo had already made good progress. At the beginning, he was at the same level as him and was the director of the third branch.
It's a pity that he was dishonest and disobedient, so he was tricked by Boss Dai and lost his real power.
In fact, he didn't have much real power before, so Ding Mo held a grudge. Later, when Nanyun hooked up, he ran to the Japanese.
Now I see that the Japanese are about to be destroyed and want to come back. How can it be so easy?
Many people have died at the hands of Ding Mo over the years. It would not be an exaggeration to shoot him ten times for the crimes he committed.
"yes."
Secretary Qi smiled, Ding Mo was not the only traitor who took the initiative to contact them, there were several others.
This is where the intelligence system has more people than the non-intelligence system.
It's a pity that Wang Chuanhai died in Japan.
He deserves it. Traitors like him deserve to die. It is an advantage for him not to be sanctioned.
In mid-May, Bao Shengqun spent a little longer at home.
Xu Suzhen has finished taking three months of medicine. According to Chu Lingyun's instructions, they can have sex, but not too frequently, and they must pay attention to the time each time.
Bao Shengqun's greatest wish was to have a son, and he did so.
During this period, Xu Suzhen's complexion improved a lot, and the spring breeze blew on her face.
She didn't know yet whether the medicine had any effect, but the man had indeed changed a lot. She hoped that he would be like this every day in the future.
These days have been better than she has been in the past few years.
Zhongtong, Ye Feng is furious.
The Japanese are almost finished, and the Red Party will become the old man's biggest worry. The next focus is to deal with the Red Party. Ye Feng was ordered to find as many Red Party members as possible.
The last time he had a chance to catch a big shot from the Red Party, he failed to gain anything, causing him to lose a senior internal agent.
This time, the spy who had been lurking with the Red Party for several years was caught again.
Four of the eight people sent by Old Ghost Xu have been arrested, and the remaining four have been arrested one after another in the past two months.
Bao Shengqun is no longer in the Intelligence Department, and Old Ghost Xu has fallen from power. There is no need to keep these people.
After failing to influence them for such a long time, Mr. Ke knew that the only option was to arrest them by force.
If they were under probation, they would have surrendered themselves long ago and would not have been arrested.
"Have you found out what happened last time?"
Ye Feng looked unkind, while Xu Lin felt uneasy. Someone must have leaked the secret about what happened last time. This person's level would not be too low, but there were no other insiders, so he couldn't find out who it was.
"not yet……"
"What do you do for food? It's been so long and I still haven't found out. Let's look into this matter together. I suspect that it was the traitor who did it. He must be found out."
Ye Feng interrupted Xu Lin. Xu Lin hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Bureau chief, these people were arranged by Old Ghost Xu. Could it be that Old Ghost Xu felt that nothing was wrong and deliberately caused trouble and leaked the information to Hong
party?"
Xu Lin had this suspicion for a long time.
If old ghost Xu didn't know about the traitor Ye Feng planted before, he would have brought it up last time.
"It is possible. Regardless of whether it is true or not, we must find out the truth, otherwise we will be even more passive in the future."
Ye Feng is not Old Ghost Xu. Everyone has different temperaments. He doesn't care about the process but only the results. This traitor is very harmful and must be found out.
Neither he nor Xu Lin ever doubted Bao Shengqun.
Bao Shengqun and Xu Laogui were too close to be instigated by the Red Party to rebel. Moreover, Bao Shengqun was very smart and never loved power. Xu Lin reported this to him.
When Bao Shengqun was demoted, only Xu Lin understood that Bao Shengqun really didn't want to become the section chief of the Intelligence Department. Otherwise, Bao Shengqun would have had the opportunity to climb up, and he wouldn't have waited for Zhao Zaili to make a mistake and be taken over by Mr. Xu.
It was the same this time. As soon as Mr. Xu fell down, Bao Shengqun left very simply. After arriving at the inspector's office, he turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window and just went about his days.
It is difficult for people to doubt such a person.
"yes."
Xu Lin accepted the order, but his expression immediately dropped as he walked out the door. This traitor was hidden so deeply that it was not easy to find out.
Only Ye Feng and him knew about the internal agents deployed by Ye Feng.
It was impossible for them to leak the secret, so Xu Lin thought that the source of the leak was the Intelligence Department. Although they did not know the specific content of the operation, they knew that they were about to go to Xi'an. If they told the Red Party the news, they might be able to guess the truth.
Xu Lin never underestimated the Red Party.
He is not from Xu Laogui, but he can still be the district chief of Shanghai District, which is a reflection of his ability.
It's a pity that a good woman can't make a meal without straw, and Xu Laogui's support for him is limited. Xu Lin can only find a way on his own. The reason why the Shanghai District was finished was not only the general affairs section chief himself, but also related to Xu Laogui's repeated mistakes.
He sent people to carry out the assassination mission, which was just to cause trouble.
Xu Jingshu's arrest put the Shanghai District into a passive situation. It was on the enemy's territory. It was not easy to punish traitors in normal times. Hidden agents had to keep a low profile. It was better for Xu Jingshu, who kept forcing him to do things, hoping to compete with the military.
The results are getting worse and worse.
With people like Mr. Xu, you can imagine what other people are like. It can be said that the Central Government has become a bad person from top to bottom. In the end, Shanghai District was taken over by No. 76, and Xu Lin himself escaped by chance.
Walking outside, Xu Lin walked towards the inspector's office by accident.
"Director Xu, why are you here?"
When people from the Inspectorate saw Xu Lin, they hurried over to greet him. Xu Lin asked directly: "Where is Advisor Bao's office?"
"Consultant Bao, I'll take you here."
The people from the Inspectorate were stunned for a moment and hurriedly took Xu Lin over. After Bao Shengqun came to the Inspectorate, this was the first time Xu Lin came to see him.
This traitor was so hidden that Xu Lin wanted to talk to someone to vent his frustration. There were not many people who could talk to him, and Bao Shengqun was one of them.
Bao Shengqun doesn't care about anything now. Bystanders know clearly. Maybe he can help him analyze who this traitor is.
"Director Xu."
Bao Shengqun's office was at the back. Xiao Wu set up a table outside Bao Shengqun's office. When he saw Xu Lin, he was stunned for a moment and hurriedly got up to greet him.
"Is Consultant Bao here?"
"Yes, I'll inform the director." Xiao Wu nodded hurriedly.
"No."
Xu Lin didn't ask him to notify him and walked over directly to knock on the door.
"Come in."
Bao Shengqun's voice came from inside. Xu Lin opened the door and walked in. Bao Shengqun just looked up and was stunned for a moment when he saw Xu Lin.
Noticing that there was no one else behind Xu Lin, Bao Shengqun immediately felt at ease.
"Old Xu, how come you, a busy man, have time to come to my place?"
Bao Shengqun stood up in a hurry and took Xu Lin to sit down on the sofa. Although he had no real power, his rank was high and the office was very luxurious.
If people like Guo Dang are wronged, they will not be wronged by anyone.
"It happens to be fine. I want to talk to you. Is it safe here?"
Xu Lin sat on the sofa, crossed his legs and sighed. As soon as he asked Bao Shengqun, he understood that what he said next needed to be kept secret.
"Xiao Wu, please watch out. No one is allowed to come near."
Bao Shengqun ordered his subordinates and then sat down to make tea: "What can happen to me here? Even if there is a bug, it will not be installed here. It is a complete waste."
Xu Lin understood that the bug Bao Shengqun was talking about was not installed by the enemy, but was an internal monitoring device.
Thinking about it, Bao Shengqun is powerless now. The biggest backstage guy, Old Ghost Xu, has fallen, and no one can speak for him at all.
If he hadn't helped Ye Feng, Bao Shengqun might not even be able to serve as a consultant.
"It's okay if you don't have it. It's better for you to have some time here."
Xu Lin sighed, Bao Shengqun said nothing, and Xu Lin continued: "We got secret information some time ago that Mr. Ke of the Red Party was going to Xi'an. I specially brought two people from the department to Xi'an in advance and laid a dragnet. I hope
We can catch him."
"Ke Gong?"
Bao Shengqun's eyes lit up, but he was shocked in his heart.
It turned out that they were going to arrest this person. As the former intelligence director of the Central Unification Committee, he knew Ke Gong very well. He was the intelligence genius of the Red Party and had a large number of secrets of the Red Party.
If we can really catch him and pry open his mouth, we can get a lot of secrets and catch more red party members.
Even he might be exposed.
Bao Shengqun didn't know that his upline boss was Ke Gong.
"That's right. It's a pity that the intelligence was leaked and the insider that the bureau had finally planted with the Red Party was also exposed."
Xu Lin sighed, while Bao Shengqun understood what he meant and immediately said: "There must be a traitor."
"You're right. I came to you just to ask you to help me advise. Who is this traitor?"
Xu Lin nodded. After all, Bao Shengqun had been the director of the Intelligence Division for so many years. He knew the Intelligence Division far better than he did.
Xu Lin replaced a lot of people, but most of them were section chiefs and team leaders, captains and ordinary team members. He replaced very few, especially ordinary team members. He couldn't replace all of them with his own people.
Thank you to the leader Pipitu for another 500 starting coin reward.
