Nishio Juzo's strategy of putting pressure on Kenji Doihara through the base camp quickly took effect. As soon as the base camp spoke, Kenji Doihara immediately felt great pressure.
Nishio Juzo said that Doihara Kenji was a bold and rebellious person, which is actually a big fallacy.
In fact, Kenji Doihara was not a daring person at all. This guy, Seishiro Itagaki, and Kanji Ishihara were not daring, but they were very good at figuring out the intentions of their superiors, especially the intentions of Emperor Showa Hirohito!
Historical circles in China and Japan have always held the view that the young officers of the Japanese army, especially the staff officers who graduated from mainland China, have a tradition of overcoming the superior. In fact, this is also very one-sided. In fact,
The Japanese army has no so-called tradition of conquering superiors from below.
In a country as hierarchical as Little Japan, it is simply unimaginable for the inferior to conquer the superior.
For example, during Nogi Nogi's era, if a young military officer tried to defeat the previous one? He would teach you how to be a good person in minutes.
However, the undeniable fact is that Ishihara Kanji, Itagaki Seishiro and Doihara Kenji did do the following things to overcome the above when concocting the Ryugao Lake Incident, forcing the Kwantung Army Commander Honjo Shige to send troops to the four northeastern provinces; and Songhu and Shanghai
After the battle, the division commanders of the Central China Front Army did indeed repeatedly break through the termination line set by the base camp and the Front Army Headquarters, and finally succeeded in bringing the war to the gates of Nanjing.
So, what's going on?
In fact, it’s very simple. Whether it was the Liutiao Lake Incident or the division commanders’ crossing of the line after the Battle of Songhu, there was always a looming great god standing behind him. Yes, that’s right, this great god was the Showa Emperor Hirohito! If there hadn’t been Showa
Emperor Hirohito gave them support, and even if they had the courage to do so, they would not dare to act like this!
It was precisely because of Hirohito's support that Kanji Ishihara, Seishiro Itagaki, and Kenji Doihara dared to concoct the Yokoko Incident and forced Shige Honjo to send troops to the four eastern provinces; it was precisely because of Hirohito's support that the various divisions of the Central China Front
It was precisely because of Hirohito's support that the Kwantung Army dared to continuously provoke the Soviet Red Army at Zhanggufeng and Nomenkan; it was precisely because of Hirohito's support that the Little Japan
Only the Navy dared to attack Pearl Harbor brazenly!
All in all, all in all, the audacious actions of Japanese military officers at all levels have the shadow of Hirohito behind them!
The reason why Doihara Kenji dared to act recklessly was because he knew deeply that Emperor Hirohito wanted them to do so!
As long as Emperor Hirohito wants them to do it, even if there is only a 10% chance of success, Doihara Kenji is willing to make ten thousand efforts for it. For example, when he recruited Ma Zhanshan to surrender, this old devil did not hesitate to take risks with his own life.
People went deep into Mazhanshan's lair and personally came forward to recruit Mazhanshan to surrender.
So this time, Kenji Doihara was still willing to make ten thousand efforts for Emperor Hirohito's will.
So now, when the telegram from the base camp was placed on his desk, Kenji Doihara immediately felt inexplicable pressure, because Kenji Doihara knew very well that the meaning of the base camp was what Emperor Hirohito meant, because at this time the Army
The minister is Juichi Juuchi, the old minister of the temple, and this guy is the yes man of Emperor Hirohito.
After reading the telegram, Doihara Kenji said with all his heart that His Majesty the Emperor was being unreasonable and that this was a typical situation. If you want the horse to run fast and the horse not to eat grass, this would be difficult to handle.
Nakamura Shun said: "General, what exactly does the base camp mean?"
Doihara Kenji knew that the base camp meant Emperor Hirohito, and immediately said: "The base camp means that Xu Rui wants to surrender, but we absolutely cannot let the Dameishan Independent Regiment do whatever they want in the military. Let's call Sichuan immediately.
Colonel Dao, please warn Xu Rui face to face that if the Dameishan Independent Regiment does not stop its military operations, then this negotiation may not be able to continue, and please ask them to self-determine!"
Nakamura Shun said: "What if Xu Rui ignores it and really terminates the negotiation?"
"Of course not." Doihara Kenji said flatly, "No matter what, the negotiations must continue until the base camp gives up recruiting Xu Rui. Also, before the base camp gives up recruiting Xu Rui, Jisi Feier No. 76 is in the public
The operations of the concessions and the gendarmerie in Longhua, Hongkou and Zhabei cannot be stopped."
"Hai." Nakamura Shun nodded solemnly and turned around.

Kenji Doihara's telegram soon reached Dameishan and was placed on Yoshiko Kawashima's desk.
After reading the telegram, Yoshiko Kawashima immediately found the guard and requested an urgent interview with Xu Rui.
At this time, Xu Rui was already far away in Shanghai, so it was naturally impossible for him to fly over to see Yoshiko Kawashima, so the only person who could come forward on behalf of the Dameishan Military Division was Wang Husheng.
When the two met, Yoshiko Kawashima said: "Where's Commander Xu? I want to see Commander Xu!"
"I'm sorry, Miss Fangzi." Wang Husheng said calmly, "Old Xu has spoken to you a long time ago. It is impossible for him to meet you again until you agree to his conditions."
Yoshiko Kawashima frowned and said in a deep voice: "Can you represent Xu Rui?"
Wang Husheng laughed and said: "I can't represent Lao Xu, but I can represent the entire Dameishan Military Division."
Yoshiko Kawashima didn't know much about the power structure of the People's Republic of China, but she vaguely heard that Wang Husheng was also able to make decisions, and she immediately said: "Okay, then I'll tell you directly. General Doihara just called and said that you
The Dameishan Independent Regiment took advantage of the truce negotiations between the two sides to launch a massive attack. Wouldn't it be too dishonest to do so?"
Wang Husheng looked up to the sky and laughed, and said loudly: "Miss Fangzi, I want to correct you. Right now, you and I are indeed negotiating about the incorporation of our unit, but we have never reached an armistice agreement with your army. That is to say
, you and I are still in a hostile relationship at the moment, so any action is reasonable and reasonable, how can it undermine integrity?"
"Then you can't take advantage of others' danger, right?" Kawashima Yoshiko said angrily, "Aren't you worried that if you offend the Japanese Imperial Army, the Imperial Army will directly terminate the negotiations and use a heavy force to sweep Damei Mountain?"
"Ha, it's as if the Japanese didn't raid Damei Mountain with heavy troops." Wang Husheng said coldly, "Miss Fangzi, I want to remind you again that it was you Japanese who proposed the recruitment, not us. If you want to raid Dameishan with heavy troops,
Meishan, just come over here, we will be with you at any time!"
Wang Husheng refused to take soft and hard advice, so Kawashima Yoshiko was a bit out of her depth.
Kawashima Yoshiko said coldly: "I will truthfully report Mr. Wang's intention to Mr. Doihara, whether to continue the negotiation or terminate the negotiation. The two sides will go to war. I believe there will be news soon."
"Excuse me." Wang Husheng said harshly, turned around and walked away.
But after leaving the house, Wang Husheng was not so calm immediately, because he was not sure whether doing so would really anger Kenji Doihara. If he really angered the old Japanese and caused the old Japanese to terminate the surrender negotiations early, then Xu
Rui's entire plan will be aborted immediately, and the consequences will be serious.
So after going out, Wang Husheng came to the communications office immediately and sent a telegram to Xu Rui.
Wang Husheng couldn't make up his mind about such a big matter, so he might as well leave it to Xu Rui to make the decision.

After Xu Rui received Wang Husheng's telegram, he burst into laughter.
"Haha, the old devil Doihara Kenji is already feeling the pressure! Very good, very good!" Xu Rui chuckled and said to Du Xing, secretary of the Shanghai Special Committee who had just joined him, "If the pressure is not enough, use Doihara Kenji
Second, this old devil's vigilance can easily guess that there is a problem with our batch of goods. Only by putting enough pressure on this old devil can we force this old devil to become chaotic and continue to lose vigilance and judgment. That's the only way
, we can fish in troubled waters and smuggle out the equipment of the pharmaceutical and chemical plants before this old devil reacts."
Du Xing nodded and said, "That's true. Kenji Doihara is really difficult to deal with."
Xu Rui added: "However, the pressure in front of you is not enough. Xiao Taohong immediately called Lao Wang back and asked him to order each regiment and battalion to continue to strengthen the attack on the surrounding counties and cities, and continue to provide support to Xiao Taohong.
The devils are putting pressure!"
"Okay, I'll report back to the political commissar right now!" Xiao Taohong turned around and went back to the next room to send a telegram.
Xu Rui said to Du Xing again: "Secretary Du, we also need to start taking action to put pressure on Kenji Doihara, an old devil, from two aspects at the same time, so that he can't think about the head and the tail. Only in this way will there be chaos.
.”
Du Xing nodded and asked: "Commander Xu, what do you think about the actions here?"
Xu Rui said simply: "In Shanghai, we are guests, Secretary Du, you are the master, so you don't have to be polite, just give us orders."
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you." Du Xing nodded and said, "That's right, because the Japanese are too rampant, we have withdrawn the comrades from Longhua, Hongkou and Zhabei to the public concession, but within the public concession
It’s also hard to live in peace. The agents of Jisi Feier No. 76 have been having a lot of trouble recently. I planned to plan an operation to combat their arrogance, but due to lack of manpower, I couldn’t put it into practice.”
Xu Rui said: "Secretary Du, just tell me your plan."
Du Xing said: "That's right, the Sanlian Bookstore on Broadway Road is one of our secret contact points. According to reliable intelligence, this contact point has been exposed. The agents of Jisi Feier No. 76 will soon launch an operation at this stronghold.
Therefore, I plan to set up an ambush at Sanlian Bookstore and give the agents of Jisi Feier No. 76 a shut-down and a beating."
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Secretary Du, I don't need you comrades from the Shanghai Underground Party to do this, just leave it to us."
"You?" Du Xing looked at the people in the room and said with some worry, "Are your manpower too thin? After all, there are only seven of you."
