Tanaka Hideki outside the door couldn't help being surprised when he saw Muto walking out of the office empty-handed.
"Don't do anything for now." Muto waved his hand, still feeling a little depressed.
"What to do with the two agents of the Renaissance Society?" Tanaka Hideki asked again.
"Kill!" Muto said bitterly, but he soon realized his gaffe, shook his head and said: "Don't kill yet, wait until Kazuo Ezhou comes back."
"Hi Yi!" Tanaka nodded quickly in agreement.
Muto stopped talking and walked towards the car parked in front of the Office of Education. Tanaka Hideki quickly walked over and helped Muto open the car.
The group of people walked to the car and sat down. Muto glanced at Tanaka Hideki and suddenly asked:
"Tanaka, you have been performing missions in various places in Hebei these past few months. What do you think is different about China compared with us in Japan?"
"Colonel, I don't feel any difference. The only feeling is that although there are many people in China, all of them have dull faces and dull eyes, which is far inferior to the vigorous spirit of the people of our Empire of Japan." Tanaka Hideki replied.
"You're right, and you observed very carefully," Muto glanced at Tanaka with a slightly surprised look, "By the way, what is your academic qualifications in Japan?"
"High school, it's a pity that I couldn't get into a junior college after taking the exam several times." Tanaka lowered his head in shame.
"Haha, that's pretty good," Muto smiled, "Do you know how many literate people there are in China?"
"I don't know," Tanaka shook his head, "According to what I've seen, not even one out of ten people can read."
"In our Empire of Japan, 70 to 80% of the people in the Edo period were literate," Muto nodded. "This is the foundation for our Empire of Japan to dominate East Asia and stand firm among the nations of the world."
"Hey, Colonel is very wise, and my subordinates didn't think of this." Tanaka suddenly realized.
Muto smiled and said: "Actually, these words were told to me by Director Doihara. He said that with China's manpower and material resources, once education is popularized, its war capabilities will be ten times and a hundred times that of Japan.
By that time, our Japanese Empire may not be able to secure even North Korea unless it controls Hebei.
Especially since the establishment of the Nanjing government, it has vigorously developed education. If this continues, in less than twenty years, the balance of power between China and Japan will inevitably reverse. It is ridiculous that a group of civil servants in China still hope to use thirty years to steadily encroach on China. They do not know
, time is not on our side!
We must completely annex the whole of China before China establishes a unified political power, otherwise, our Japanese Empire will be trapped in the mainland and will never be able to set foot on the mainland!"
What Muto said made Tanaka dumbfounded. As a low-level officer of the Japanese Army, he cannot understand these things. This kind of truth can only be considered by the top students of the Imperial Army University!
"Okay," Wu Teng waved his hand, "You don't understand these principles even if you tell me. You just need to know that Zhao Kezhen, as the director of education in Peking, is very important to us. When you go back, you will bring two people and disguise yourself as
The Chinese are closely monitoring and protecting Zhao Kezhen. You must record who he met and what he did and report to me regularly. Do you understand?"
"Hey, I obey!" Tanaka nodded in agreement.
"Well," Wu Teng nodded, but his eyes drifted to the distant east. He murmured to himself: "When can we come back to Jiangzhou?"
........
The beautiful island city on the far coast of the East China Sea is the most prosperous season of the year. However, Jiangzhou Kazuo has no time to appreciate this. He has lived in the Japanese expatriate area near Liaocheng Road in the island city for almost a month.
It's weeks.
In the past few days, he has been traveling around to look up information about this "Geng Chaozhong". From the Sifang Road Police Station where he first joined, to the Party Mediation Office where he later joined, he even rented the place where Geng Chaozhong lived.
Come down and carefully experience the trajectory of this mysterious figure.
The bedroom wall is covered with countless information. Geng Chaozhong's work history, contacts, behavior, style, everything that can be queried, is piled up in this simple two-story Japanese-style room.
And this room is exactly where Geng Chaozhong once lived.
Kazuo Jiangzhou was sitting cross-legged on the tatami, staring at a portrait in front of him in a daze.
This is a sketch made with charcoal. It is very simple and rough, but with just a few strokes, it is able to portray the person in the portrait with a vivid and angular face, smooth and long eyebrows, and a slanted and upturned mouth.
There seemed to be a trace of mockery in his eyes, as if he was mocking the person in front of him.
"Major, why are you so interested in this dead man?"
Yun Wei sat at the door and yawned. For several days, except for going out to check information or buy information, Jiangzhou Kaifu almost stayed in this room without leaving the house. This made him unable to go out and completely transformed into Jiang Zhou.
Shu Kazuo's servant.
However, Jiangzhou Kazuo was always very cautious and never allowed him to have access to any actual information about Geng Chaozhong except for letting him do some chores.
"I'm also thinking about this question, but I can't help but be curious!"
Kazuo Ezhou's eyes never left the sketch in front of him.
"This man suddenly appeared in Daocheng in the first half of 2029. At first, he was just working as a clerk in a shoe store. In a blink of an eye, within two months, he became a patrol officer at Daocheng Sifang Road Police Station. And that man
The shoe store was demolished soon after, and the director of the police station also left Daocheng. Immediately afterwards, he joined the Party Mediation Division and became the operations captain of the Daocheng Party Regulation Section.
After more than a year, he became the section chief of the Daocheng Party Investigation Section, in charge of Nanjing's entire intelligence work in Daocheng. However, in the blink of an eye, he died! Died in a bizarre explosion.
, and all of this happened in less than two years, you think, can I not be curious?"
Jiangzhou Kazuo talked endlessly. He had been completely immersed in the experience of this "Geng Chaozhong". This man rose like a comet and fell like a meteor. His whole experience was completely worthy of being called a legend.
!
"Major, when I was in Shanghai, I have heard of many such examples. For example, the three tycoons in Shanghai, such as Yang Hu from the Qing Gang, their rise is much faster than that of Geng Chaozhong!" Yun Wei
Open your mouth and say.
"Oh, by the way, you have been in Shanghai for a long time." Jiangzhou Kazuo finally moved his eyes away from Geng Chaozhong's portrait and shifted his gaze to Yun Wei, "You said that this person's experience is not enough
