Terauchi Juichi turned his attention to Tojo Hideki again and said uncertainly: "Tojo-kun, is it really possible?"
Hideki Tojo paused heavily and said affirmatively: "Your Excellency, just leave it like this, I will be responsible for any problems!"
"Yo Xi." Terauchi was waiting for Tojo Hideki's words. He nodded happily, then turned to Kikuchi Sai and Tabei Kazu and said, "Kikuchi-kun, Tabe-kun, if the base camp agrees to implement germ warfare in Shanghai,
If so, how should it be implemented specifically? How can the base camp cooperate with you?"
Kikuchi said in unison: "We only need to set up a temporary laboratory in Kunshan or Taicang, and then we need to provide us with a batch of living specimens. When we successfully cultivate typhoid bacteria on these living specimens, we can
If they are released back to Shanghai, within three days, typhoid fever will break out in Shanghai."
"Yo Xi." Terauchi Juichi nodded happily, and then said to Tojo Hideki, "Tojo-kun, you make the arrangements."
"Hai." Hideki Tojo paused heavily, then raised his hands to Kikuchi and Masaru and said, "Kikuchi-kun, Tabe-kun, please move to my office, and we will discuss the implementation of this document."
"Hai." Masaru Kikuchi and Tabe nodded heavily.

After Tojo Hideki took Kikuchi Tadashi back to the office, he then convened the staff of the Operations Section, and after a full discussion, a detailed action plan was quickly drawn up.
That night, a top-secret action plan codenamed "Satan" reached Kunshan.
Higashikawa took out a small code book and after personally translating the telegram, he passed the telegram to Toshio Miyake, the division commander of the 104th Division, and Takazo Iinuma, chief of staff of the Central China Division, for circulation.
After circulating it, Dong Jiuer Nianyan took the telegram back and burned it with a lighter.
Top-secret information is destroyed after reading and is not allowed to be kept in files. This is a discipline.
"Miyake-kun, Iinuma-kun." Higashikata threw the ashes into the cigarette vat, then turned his eyes to Miyake Toshio and Iinuma-kun, and said in a deep voice, "You also read the telegram, you guys
Tell me, how feasible is this Satanic operation? Is it possible to force the Chinese people to surrender as planned?"
"Bacteriological warfare?" Toshio Miyake shook his head and said, "I'm not optimistic about this."
After a pause, Miyake Toshio continued: "Before this, the imperial army had implemented germ warfare in Manchuria, North China and Shanxi, but the results were not ideal. I always thought that these guys in the germ army were just talkers. They
There is nothing more than defrauding the Army Department of its limited funds."
Toshio Miyake was also a Continentalist and instinctively despised unconventional means such as germ warfare.
In fact, it is a Ligai game. No matter which country, this situation exists more or less.
However, Iinuma Takazo had a different opinion on this and frowned and said: "As far as I know, the reason why the imperial army's germ warfare in Manchuria failed was because the timing of its implementation was not right. It was winter at the time and the temperature was high.
It was so low that it made it difficult for plague bacteria to reproduce, ultimately leading to the failure of germ warfare."
After a pause, Iinuma Takazo continued: "As for the failures in North China and Shanxi, it was entirely because the reproduction methods of cholera bacteria were not mature at that time, so they failed. However, this time the typhoid bacteria, cultivation and
The breeding methods are already very mature, and the climate and environment in Shanghai are also very suitable, so the possibility of success is still very high."
Miyake Toshio said with a snort: "But it's only possible. Iinuma-kun, do you dare to guarantee it?"
"This..." Takanazou Iinuma was at a loss for words. He was not an expert in germ warfare, so how could he dare to guarantee it?
At that moment, Toshio Miyake said to Higashikata Higashihiko: "Your Highness, I think that rather than spending limited manpower and material resources on such completely unrealistic and unconventional military means, it is better to unify our thinking, centralize power, and
Use pure military means to solve the problem. In short, don’t make things too complicated.”
After a pause, Toshio Miyake added: "The more complicated it is, the easier it is to make mistakes."
Iinuma Takazo frowned and said, "But it doesn't hurt to try, right?"
After finishing speaking, Iinuma Takazo said to Higashikata Higashihiko: "Your Highness, it does not seem to take much manpower and material resources to establish only two bacterial warfare laboratories, and it does not take long. We can definitely carry out the second one.
While preparing for the four battles of Songhu and secretly executing Satan's plan, the two can go hand in hand."
Iinuma Takazo's words finally convinced Higashikata Nakihiko.
At that moment, Dong Jiurei nodded and said: "Well, Iinuma-kun is right. Implementing Satan's plan does not cost much manpower and material resources. It will hardly affect our combat readiness. The two can be done in parallel. After all, if the plan fails,
If it succeeds, the benefits will be self-evident! It is indeed worth trying.”
After finishing speaking, Higashikata turned to Toshio Miyake and said, "Miyake-kun, the Kikuchi troops will arrive in Kunshan tomorrow morning, and you will be responsible for establishing laboratories in Kunshan and Taicang."
"Hai!" Toshio Miyake nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely do my job well."
Iinuma Takazo also continued: "Also, the confidentiality work must be done well. The Langya troops are in Shanghai. If Xu Rui's Langya gets wind of it, Satan's plan will most likely be destroyed.
!”
Miyake Toshio's expression was stern when he heard this. The illustrious and ferocious name of the Wolf Fang Troops was really thunderous to his ears.
Higashikata-kun also said angrily: "It would be great if the Okahara Special Forces Brigade was here. I don't know where the bastard Okahara is now. Before, Mr. Kojima said that he would fight with him within three days."
I contacted you, but it’s been five days now and this bastard hasn’t contacted me yet. What on earth does he want to do?”

Dameishan base area, quarry.
Oluhara Junsi, who was drilling steel into the cracks in the rocks, suddenly sneezed twice loudly. The other two Japanese special forces who were loading gravel into a truck not far away immediately looked over and saw Oluhara.
Junsi just made the sound inadvertently rather than intentionally sending out any signal, so he turned back and continued to concentrate on his work.
Farther away, there were several Japanese special forces working with other quarrymen using sledgehammers to smash large chunks of limestone that had just been quarried.
Five days ago, Oluhara Junsi pretended to be a salesman, single-handedly conducted a reconnaissance on Meixian County, and successfully found the army compound. Then, he took advantage of the recruitment opportunity in the quarry in front of him to recruit the special forces.
A dozen or so Japanese special forces who spoke the best Chinese were arranged to come in and serve as quarrymen. As for the other dozen or so Japanese special forces, they followed Asahina Kiyoshi and lurked in Qingniuling, waiting for Odawara Junsi's call at any time.
Oluhara Junsi is waiting patiently, but the opportunity has not yet appeared.

Let us turn our attention back to Kunshan, where the division headquarters of the 104th Division is located.
Although Toshio Miyake despises non-military means such as germ warfare from the bottom of his heart, he still possesses basic military qualities. Now that he has taken over the job from Higashikaru Nakihiko, he will definitely not just do it perfunctory, but will know how to do it.
Try your best to do your best work.
So as soon as he returned to the division headquarters, Ono Roku asked Chief of Staff Kaoru Kataoka to come over.
By the way, after Ono Roku was "lucky" to rescue Toshio Miyake and Kaoru Kataoka, he was promoted again in less than half a year, and was promoted two levels in a row again. Now Ono Roku is a captain.
He has received military rank, and Toshio Miyake has already written a letter of recommendation. He will soon go to mainland China for further study.
After leaving mainland China, Ono Shiliu immediately became an assistant officer.
After a while, Ono Roku led Kaoru Kataoka into Toshio Miyake's office.
The Satanic Project is top secret, and only those with the rank of colonel or above are qualified to know about it. At that moment, Toshio Miyake waved at Ono Roku, who paused slightly, then bowed slightly and exited the office, but before going out, he still kept a faint look on his face.
When I heard the words "Satan Plan", my heart suddenly moved.
Satan's plan? Just hearing the name, it sounds like an inside story.
However, Ono Shiroku did not eavesdrop. Although he was already a Trojan, he was still asleep, so he did not need to do anything at all, let alone risk exposing his identity to steal top-secret information about Satan's plan. At the moment, Ono
Shiroku left Toshio Miyake's office without looking back.
Let’s go back to Toshio Miyake and Kaoru Kataoka.
"Satan Plan?" After listening to Toshio Miyake's brief introduction, Kaoru Kataoka's expression immediately darkened and he said in a solemn tone, "Division Commander, if the Satan Plan is really implemented in Shanghai, will it trigger international public outrage?
What? You can ignore the reaction of Britain and France, but what about the reaction of the Americans?"
Miyake Toshio said: "Kataoka-kun, this is not something you should consider."
After a pause, Miyake Toshio continued: "This is the plan formulated by the base camp. His Royal Highness the Prince has also issued an order to cooperate with the action, so the only thing our 104th Division needs to do is to fully cooperate. You will start in Kunshan now."
And the two counties in Taicang are looking for suitable venues, and we need to choose a few more, and the Kikuchi troops will be coming tomorrow."
"Hai." Kaoru Kataoka paused heavily and then said, "Division Commander, do you have any requirements for the venue?"
Miyake Toshio pondered for a moment and said: "Considering the secrecy and particularity of Satan's plan, urban areas are definitely not suitable. It would easily arouse others' suspicion, so it is best to choose the suburbs, but the transportation must be convenient, and it must be
If there are nearby lakes or rivers, the Kikuchi troops have already said that a large amount of water is needed."
After a pause, Miyake Toshio continued: "For the sake of confidentiality, it is best to build the laboratory in the name of the Military Police Temporary Prison."
