When Zhang Yi opened the secret message, he was so angry that his hands trembled.
The arrogant Japanese pirates actually wanted to bribe him.
"Why did Japan send a letter to my sworn brother? What do they want to do?" Xiaoliu asked in surprise.
Zhang Yi handed the letter to Xiaoliu to read.
Xiaoliu browsed through it, became furious and cursed.
"You guys who don't know how high the sky is, the little Japanese pirates want to bribe your sworn brother. Is there something wrong with them? They are really stupid!"
The situation is this.
Emperor Mingguang of the Japanese Kingdom proposed that he could support Zhang Yi and Zhang Shoufu to be the king of China, hoping to join forces with Old China and attack on both the east and west fronts at the same time to conquer both Greater China and Little China.
The emperor said that he had long admired Chinese culture and had great respect for Zhang Yi, who defeated the Tsarist Empire. The two sides should join forces to end the division of China.
Afterwards, the emperor wanted to conquer Siberia in the north and India and Southeast Asia in the south with Zhang Yi to build a huge united empire so that Zhang Yi could firmly sit on the throne of China.
In the final analysis, let Chang Yi be the son-emperor and Emperor Meiko be the supreme monarch.
…
"It's so ridiculous that a small Japanese country has the ambition of a snake swallowing an elephant," Xiaoliu said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. "Who gave them the confidence to say such ridiculous things?"
"Don't underestimate the people of the island country. They are so crazy that they don't even know who they are," Zhang Yi laughed, and then asked Wang Kang, "We have no contact with Japanese pirates. Who gave you this letter?"
"
Wang Kang said that this morning, a man named Takeda, who claimed to be a businessman from Little China, went to the Huitong Hall to meet him and took out a secret letter. Then he told the truth that he was a secret messenger sent by the Emperor. Wang Kang ate
Shocked, he sent someone to detain Takeda and went straight to Zhongnan Mountain.
Zhang Yi understood and nodded.
Japanese pirates had already penetrated into China, pretending to be businessmen or civilians, and collecting intelligence everywhere. After Takeda infiltrated Chang'an, he had no chance to meet Zhang Yi directly, so he submitted a secret message through the diplomatic channel of Huitong Pavilion.
They should be very clear about the situation in various countries in China.
Fortunately, the confidentiality work has been strengthened in the past. Once inventions such as artillery and armored vehicles are discovered by the enemy, they will desperately steal the technology.
There are also the layout of the Chinese United Navy, etc., which are all top secret.
The situation suddenly became tense.
There was no time to say anything more now, so Zhang Yi asked the Imperial Guards to pack up the camp and return to Chang'an immediately.
…
Back at the palace, Zhang Yi invited Xiaolong, Xiao Han and Chen to come to the study.
I showed the secret message to the three of them and they were all surprised.
"The Japanese pirates should not have discovered our inventions and military deployments, but we cannot rule out that they have caught wind of it," Zhang Yi said. "From now on, we must strengthen the vigilance of research and development bases, universities, factories, ports and other places to guard against the enemy's attacks."
spy."
"Follow the order!" Xiaolong and Xiao Han took the order.
"The Japanese pirates are really pervasive," Chen Yiyi said angrily. "They also submitted letters to the leader of Greater China, Zhao Junxi, with similar contents, and tried their best to bribe and induce them."
"Japanese pirates are like clowns who go around sowing dissension in order to avoid chaos in the world," Xiao Han said. "As long as the Japanese country is destroyed, China will never have peace."
"Yes, when our navy is established, we must first conquer the Japanese country," Xiaolong said. "Otherwise, no matter whether we march north or west, the Japanese country will cause trouble in the rear or even take advantage of the situation."
Zhang Yi nodded and said: "Yes, the Japanese have been a serious thorn in China's side since ancient times. They always want to occupy China's territory, enslave our people, and plunder our wealth. There is no kindness and justice to be said to them."
"What's ridiculous is that the Japanese pirates should have heard that Yi Ge is now the chairman of the Chinese Alliance Committee and is promoting the cause of peaceful reunification of the three countries. Why do you dare to make such arrogant and unreasonable demands?" Chen Yiyi said in confusion.
"They are testing me, creating conflicts, and trying every means to break up the Three Kingdoms Alliance," Zhang Yi said angrily. "In the eyes of the Japanese pirates, the Chinese are all incoherent and only thinking about their own interests. They are a piece of loose sand."
"Brother Yi, don't be angry, let's expose the Japanese pirates' conspiracy." Xiaolong advised.
"That's the truth. We must expose the Japanese pirates' conspiracy." Zhang Yi stood up and walked around the study room. "I will have someone copy the secret letter in two copies and explain it. I will ask Brother Chen and Fu Xiang to submit it to the two countries."
Leaders, we must all stand firm and never let the Japanese pirates find an opportunity to sow discord."
"Very good, just do it," Chen Yiyi said, "Don't worry, brother, we won't be fooled by the Japanese pirates. Everyone knows that they are not good people."
"What should I do with that guy named Takeda?" Xiaolong asked.
"Leave it to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation and try to dig out as many of their underground intelligence agents as possible," Zhang Yi said. "However, such people have received special training and should be unafraid of death. Give it a try. It will give you the best results, but there will be no results."
If so, he will be beheaded in public."
Xiaolong took the order and left.
"Brother Yi, I'm going to step up the security now. I want to organize a meeting for technicians and workers to report the Japanese pirates' infiltration into Chang'an and remind everyone to pay attention." Xiao Han said.
Zhang Yi warned: "In addition, we must pay attention to the dynamics of core personnel and beware of Japanese pirates who are causing trouble in private and bribe our personnel."
"Okay, I will strengthen the work in this area." Xiao Han accepted the order and said goodbye.
…
Zhang Yi sat down, looked at Chen Yiyi, and suddenly smiled.
Regarding the secret letter from Japanese pirates, the more I think about it, the more ridiculous it becomes. Only someone with a damaged brain would come up with such a clumsy idea.
Chen Yiyi also smiled and asked: "Brother Yi, recently, I heard a noise from the north of Chang'an. Folks said it was thunder, but I think it should be a new type of weapon, right?"
Zhang Yi said calmly: "Brother Chen, I have nothing to hide from you and me. It is indeed a new weapon and has entered the final stage of development. Now, given us another year and a half, we will be fully confident in defeating Japan."
"That's great," Chen Yiyi said happily, "Brother, please rest assured. I'm not sure what the leaders of Greater China think, but as far as the military is concerned, Marshal Zhu Hao trusts and supports you. We look forward to it."
Conquer Japan as soon as possible. I think the leaders also have high expectations for thousands of tons of gold, so I think there should be time for this development."
Indeed, both Greater China and Little China are eager to share 20,000 tons of gold equally. This astronomical wealth is equivalent to their income for decades of development.
In this case, they will definitely support Zhang Yi with all their strength and will not come to trouble him.
The problem is that Zhang Yi's heart is not stable and he vaguely feels that something bad is going to happen.
