After separating from Takuji Yoshino, Xu Rui and the two returned to Takeno Charcoal Grill.
Xu Rui expressed his willingness to manage the Wagyu cattle farm to Takenoda Iso, who was overjoyed.
But Xu Rui's next words made Takenodaji petrified on the spot: "Takeye-san, please forgive me, I'm afraid a small charcoal grill shop can't make much money, even if you open a Wagyu beef farm, you can't make much money.
Big money, so why don’t we use wagyu farms as a cover to grow, refine and process opium on a large scale?”
"Nani." Zhuye was petrified on the spot, and it took him a long time to react, "Planting opium?"
"Hai." Xu Rui paused and said, "Planting opium is a very profitable business."
At this time, Takenoda Iso finally recovered from the huge shock, shook his head and said: "Nishimura-san, you have just arrived in Jiujiang not long ago, and you don't know much about the situation in Jiujiang. Commander Okamura is different from other imperial army commanders.
Likewise, he respects the Chinese very much and will never allow us to grow and refine opium on a large scale."
After a pause, Takenoda Iso said again: "Nishimura-san, you have been lying to Jiujiang all afternoon, haven't you noticed that there is not even a smoking den in Jiujiang city? Is it because there is no smoking den in Jiujiang?
Is it profitable? No, it’s because all opium dens have been banned by Commander Okamura!”
Xu Rui smiled slightly and said, "So, does Takeno-san know that the empire's finances are on the verge of collapse?"
"I also know this." Takenoda Isao said, "Due to the continuous expansion of the scale of the Sino-Japanese war, the empire has issued war bonds four times in a row. However, the subscriber of the latest war bond is Liao Liao. This is not because of the empire's son.
The people are unwilling to help the government because the financial resources of the people of the empire have also been exhausted."
At this point, there was a sudden pause, and Takenodaiso suddenly came to his senses.
Takenoda Iso said in a deep voice: "Nishimura-san, you mean to say that Commander Okamura will let me go because of lack of funds?"
"Definitely." Xu Rui said firmly, "In the final analysis, Commander Okamura advocated giving respect to the Chinese in order to restore order in the occupied areas, rather than really giving any dignity to the Chinese. At present, the empire is in financial difficulty, and Central China
The funds for dispatching the condemnation army are also very tight, so what reason does he have to refuse a large amount of investment?"
Takenodaji frowned and said: "But this matter is too big, I'm still a little worried."
Xu Rui turned to look at Leng Tiefeng and said: "Takeno-san, how about this? I happen to know Yoshino Takujiya, the younger brother of the military police captain Yoshino Rio. I first secretly communicated with Commander Okamura through the military police, and then
Then you will come forward to invite Commander Okamura to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the breeding farm. If Commander Okamura agrees to attend, then there will be no problem."
"Yoshi, that's no problem." Takenoda Iso was overjoyed when he heard this. Although this kid was afraid of trouble, he was still very keen on making money. He immediately ordered the kitchen to serve two charcoal-grilled wagyu beef and two pots of chrysanthemums.
Sake, and once again entertained Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng warmly until sunset.
After the sun went down, Leng Tiefeng stayed directly at Zhuye Charcoal Barbecue.
Xu Rui found an excuse and returned to Jigongling. Xu Rui did this just in case. If Okamura Neji suddenly went to Takeno Charcoal Grill again after they left, wouldn't he miss an opportunity?
However, before leaving, Xu Rui also specifically told Takenodaji that opium cultivation cannot be exposed to light, so he cannot tell others. Even his fellow villager Dongxiang Kota, who is a senior counselor at the headquarters, cannot reveal the slightest bit about Takenodaji.
Noda Iso nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood this rule. There are some things that can be said and cannot be done, but there are some things that can be said but cannot be said.
When Xu Rui returned to Jigongling, Zhuanshanbao and the others were competing in marksmanship with the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army Company.
The result, of course, is that it goes without saying that Zhuan Shanbao and the others only had a small test, which shocked the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army Company. Zhao Baishi and the others no longer had any doubts in their hearts.
After Xu Rui came back, he immediately summoned several Langya team members to start a meeting.
When everyone arrived, Xu Rui first briefly introduced the situation of today's visit, and then said: "The security level of the Eleventh Army Headquarters is higher than I expected, and the chance of infiltration or storming is very small. After careful consideration, I have
A new action plan was drawn up.”
After finishing speaking, Xu Rui revealed his plan.
Xu Rui told everyone the action plan to brainstorm ideas.
Although the five people here may not necessarily be able to put forward any constructive suggestions, it is always right to listen more to everyone's opinions. As the saying goes, listening to both will lead to enlightenment, and listening to one side will lead to darkness.
Mother-in-law Yinghua first raised questions: "Then Yoshino Takuji is so kind? I have never met you, but he is willing to provide you with such great help and cooperate with you in opium cultivation? As the old saying goes, know people well.
I don’t know, he’s not afraid that you’ll take his money and run away? Or maybe you’re just teasing him?”
"That's not possible." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "From a national standpoint, Japan is our enemy and we must spurn them. But to be fair, the Japanese actually have many advantages, the biggest of which is
The advantage is unity. Japanese people are very united overseas. Even if they are strangers, they will do their best to help their compatriots."
Xu Rui is telling the truth, because in the original time and space, there was a very vivid proverb to describe the racial differences between Chinese and Japanese. This proverb says: A Chinese is a dragon, and a group of Chinese are a group of people.
Bug; a Japanese is a dog, and a group of Japanese are a pack of wolves!
This means that the Chinese are good at fighting among themselves, while the Japanese are very united.
Because of this, China must have a strong centralized power, otherwise the entire Chinese nation will become a basin of loose sand. In the history of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the central government was very powerful.
Granny Yinhua still didn't believe it, and said coldly: "You little devil, do you really believe in you that much?"
Xu Rui chuckled and said: "Mother-in-law, if there was a woman who spoke very fluent Wanzhong dialect and was a good sister to Xiao Taohong, even though we had just met you for the first time, would you suspect that she was Japanese?
?”
Yinhuapo thought about it carefully, shook her head and said, "That's not possible. How can the Japanese speak Wanzhong dialect?"
"For the same reason, the Japanese will not doubt my identity." Xu Rui said with a smile, "because I can speak very fluent Japanese with Kansai accent."
Granny Yinhua snorted lightly and remained silent.
Xu Rui continued: "Although my mother-in-law's worries are unnecessary, her original intention is correct. Although I am not worried about being discovered by the little devil at all, but I am always careful and there is no big mistake, so it is absolutely necessary to be more careful.
In order to ensure the success of the assassination operation, I decided to add two more backup plans."
Xu Rui's eyes first fell on Zuanshan Leopard and said: "Leopard, Fengzi, you disguise yourself as merchants from Nanjing and bring rifles to check into the Yamato Hotel I just mentioned. You must stay on the sixth floor because of the view from the sixth floor.
The most open, from the window position, you can effectively lock the gate of the Japanese headquarters."
Zhuanshan Bao hummed and said: "Captain, don't worry, it's okay if this old devil Okamura doesn't leave through the gate. If he does, I will definitely kill him."
Xu Rui said to the Siberian Tiger again: "Tiger, you disguised yourself as a beggar and climbed over the city wall with a machine gun overnight. After entering the city, you begged on the street corner not far from Zhuye Tan Grill. Once Yamato Hotel or Zhuye Tan Grill has something to do,
If there is any trouble, you should be ready to respond immediately, and if necessary, you should make up for it in time."
The Siberian Tiger nodded and said: "Don't worry, captain, I promise to complete the mission."
Xu Rui glanced around the three of them and asked: "Do you still remember Okamura Neji's appearance?"
The three of them nodded in unison. Before setting off, they had seen the photo of Okamura Neji published in the newspaper. Okamura Neji wore a pair of round-framed myopia glasses. He had a thin face and a gloomy expression.
It's easy to identify. As long as Okamura Neji doesn't deliberately look for a substitute, he shouldn't be able to admit his mistake.
Xu Rui then said: "Okay, you go and prepare first."
Han Feng, the mountain leopard and the Siberian tiger turned around and left.
Xu Rui said to Xiao Taohong again: "Xiao Taohong, please immediately send a telegram to the headquarters of the Qingbai Regiment and ask Chen Ershao to tell Xue Yue, deputy commander-in-chief of the 9th Theater Command and commander of the 1st Corps, to ask General Xue Yue to prepare for a counterattack.
Within ten days, Dameishan Radio will send important information in clear code, and that will be the time to launch a counterattack."
This is also the meaning of the title. Once Okamura Neiji is killed, it will inevitably lead to chaos in the command of the Eleventh Army. If Xue Yue can seize the opportunity to launch a wave of counterattack, even if it cannot fundamentally reverse the situation of the Wuhan Battle
, at least a considerable part of the lost territory can be recovered, greatly easing the war situation.
As for why he didn't contact Chairman Chiang directly and only told Xue Yue, it was because Xu Rui really couldn't trust Chairman Chiang's judgment. Of course, after the Qingbai regiment received the telegram, it was impossible to just tell Xue Yue without reporting it to Chairman Chiang.
When the time comes, he has no control over whether Chairman Chiang will stop Xue Yue from counterattacking or whether Xue Yue can withstand the pressure.
Because of Xu Rui's efforts, the situation in the Battle of Wuhan was worse than in history. Xu Rui felt extremely guilty for this. This assassination operation was also Xu Rui's remedy for the previous consequences, but in the end he was able to achieve
It's not up to him to decide what kind of outcome it will be.
Xiao Taohong hummed, and then said: "Uncle, do you want to tell them directly about the assassination of Okamura Neji? After all, it will be easier to win the trust of General Xue Yue."
"No." Xu Rui said flatly, "Absolutely not."
It’s not that Xu Rui can’t trust Xue Yue, it’s that he can’t trust Qingbai Tuan’s ability to keep secrets.
A cruel fact is that before the Sino-Japanese war broke out, the Japanese government had been making preparations for nearly half a century. There were spies in every aspect of the National Government. If the assassination of Okamura Neiji was to be carried out,
How do you know if you tell Qingbai Tuan that you won't be detected by lurking Japanese spies?
If the lurking Japanese spies knew the news and then planned to set up an ambush, then not only would this operation fail to kill Okamura Neiji, but their own safety would be threatened.
Xiao Taohong stuck out her tongue and said no more.
