Surrounded by many high-ranking officials from the Japanese Consulate in Tianjin, Kenji Doihara strode towards him.
He was dressed in plain clothes, slightly fat, with a striking "sanitary mustache" under his nose. He had a condescending look in his eyes. Surrounded by many big shots, he looked like stars holding the moon.
In addition, he also has a unique temperament that can be hidden among everyone, no one notices him; and he can shine in everyone, covering everyone present with his light.
"As expected of the mayor of Fengtian City, he really has an outstanding temperament!"
A skinny Japanese boss nodded in approval.
He ran a opium den, and the people he saw every day were all skinny and skinny, so when he saw Doihara Kenji's broad figure, he couldn't help but admire him.
"Compared to the head of the Jinmen Secret Service back then, His Excellency Doihara's majesty is even greater!"
Thinking of this, he nodded deeply.
As expected, he has moved his energy and nourished his body, and he is worthy of being an outstanding official of the empire.
"Everyone, let me introduce you to you." Standing next to Doihara Kenji, the concession consul Akagi Toyoda stepped forward and said with a face full of honor: "This, everyone must be familiar with it, the former head of the Tianjin secret service
, the current mayor of Fengtian City under the rule of the Kwantung Army, His Excellency Kenji Doihara."
This well-known consul of the Japanese concession in Tianjin, whose official position was second only to the consul general, was now content to be ranked below Doihara Kenji.
The wealthy Japanese businessmen and bosses who saw this scene were shocked in their hearts. They looked at Kenji Doihara with increasingly cautious and submissive eyes.
"Your Excellency Doihara is just the mayor of Fengtian City. This mayor was established by the Kwantung Army. Why is he so prestigious now?"
"Yes, the senior officials in the concession are willing to support him. He is really like a dragon roaring for nine days now."
"A few years ago, Mr. Doihara was just a student of Rihachiro Banishi. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, he has become a towering tree."
Many guests were whispering to each other.
When Kenji Doihara served as the head of the Tianjin secret service, he was just a famous agent. More people regarded him as a student of Rihachiro Banishi, and very few people really cared about him.
Who would have known that in the thirty years east of Hedong and in the thirty years west of Hexi, the situation has changed. Now that they see his power and think about his experience, everyone becomes more and more fearful.
"It is said that the high-ranking officials in this concession have been unable to find out the results of the death of Kawashima Yoshiko, and they were unable to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with Zhang Xueming of Jinmen. There is some internal instability, so they invited Mr. Doihara to come over. It seems to be to stabilize Tianjin.
What a situation!”
Some people who are relatively close to the higher-ups made some guesses.
They bosses naturally knew that because Yoshiko Kawashima and some Japanese spies were killed, and the Tokiwa Hotel was burned to the ground, the situation in the entire Japanese Concession in Tianjin was somewhat unstable, and all the senior officials in Tianjin were a little panicked.
But at this moment, where do they still have the sorrow they had some time ago? All the frowns on their faces are gone, and they look calm.
"Gentlemen, Doihara Kenji is here to stabilize the situation in Tianjin, to join forces to fight against China's aggressiveness, to protect our victory to the maximum extent, for the core interests of the Japanese Empire, and especially to keep the empire in Tianjin.
The influence will be more stable and the status of our Empire of Japan in the world will be more prominent."
Doihara Kenji did his part and spoke with great spirit.
"What?"
As soon as he said this, the whole place immediately went into shock.
Everyone was stunned.
You must know that Kenji Doihara is a spy. Although he has a bright tongue and talks about uniting everyone and expanding Japan's influence in Tianjin, everyone present is not a fool. Who does not understand what he did not say in his words?
the meaning of?
This is to turn Jinmen into the second Fengtian and North China into the second Manchuria.
The Japanese present were all businessmen and bosses who had benefited from Japan's invasion of China, so they naturally supported the expansion of the invasion.
but!
Businessmen are also politically aware.
They all have good relations with the North China Garrison and the Japanese Concession Consulate, which is why they are what they are today. Although Kenji Doihara once served as the head of the Tianjin secret service, that is already in the past. Now he represents the interests of the Kwantung Army.
.
Matters in North China should be handled by the Japanese forces in North China. Why should the Kwantung Army do it?
"What Mr. Doihara said makes sense, but at least someone with the level of Consul General of Tianjin should take the lead in handling it, right? You are the mayor of Fengtian. I'm afraid you can't reach this Tianjin matter?" someone in the audience sarcastically said.
"What Mr. Doihara said makes sense, and the concession consulate agrees with it." A voice came from the door.
"Yes, the Jinmen garrison fully supports His Excellency Doihara's proposal!" Another voice came from the door.
Everyone turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a smile on his face and an extraordinary bearing, standing side by side with a tall, thin and withered officer in military uniform.
Yoshimitsu Anzai, Consul General of Japan in Tianjin, and Kohei Kashii, Commander of the Tianjin Garrison!
These two big shots in charge of Jinmen actually came together at this time and shook hands with Doihara Kenji and saluted him. One on the left and one on the right, they surrounded Doihara Kenji and seemed to take him as the leader.
Seeing this scene, countless people took a deep breath.
"These are two leaders who rule Jinmen. They are both civil and military. They stomp their feet and the whole Jinmen trembles. At this moment, Mr. Doihara is the leader. Could it be that the next September 18th is just around the corner?"
Someone said with trembling hands.
He was not afraid, but extremely happy.
Think about it, Manchuria's Kwantung Army occupied the entire Northeast in just one month through a military adventure.
From then on, the products of the Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. flowed smoothly to the Northeast, the will of the empire prevailed in the White Mountains and Black Waters, and the sound of the crane of the Showa Emperor resounded in the streets and alleys of the three eastern provinces.
On this basis, Japanese businessmen in Manchuria will surely make a lot of money relying on the support of the Kwantung Army.
The wealthy businessmen and bosses in Tianjin all see this.
You must know that North China, like Manchuria, is the territory of the Northeastern Army. They are no more courageous than the Northeastern Army in Manchuria. They are afraid that once the imperial army fires artillery, they will lose their shit and flee.
Seeing the opportunity to obtain Manchu businessmen, how could they not be overjoyed?
Originally, some people thought that Doihara Kenji only represented the interests of the Kwantung Army, but now with the endorsement of Anzai Yoshimitsu and Kashiki Kohei, everyone was convinced. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that the future was bright.
"Doihara-dono has complete control over every move he makes. It can be said that you can turn your hand into clouds and turn your hand into rain. All the subjects of the Imperial Kingdom in the Japanese Concession will listen to your command." Akagi Toyoda said with a long smile while stroking his hands.
Kenji Doihara sat there, smiling lightly and saying nothing.
"The Kwantung Army decided to fight in Manchuria. The smooth military operations were inseparable from the secret service's several years of collecting intelligence and recruiting manpower. Now that the overall situation in Manchuria has been decided, the next step is Tianjin. We can not only help
By being loyal to the empire, individuals can be promoted step by step, and the businessmen present can also benefit. This is a situation that everyone is happy with, so Doihara-dono is here at the right time."
Anzai Yoshimitsu chuckled.
Everyone else, including Kashii Kohei, all nodded in agreement.
