Mr. Koizumi, the Consul of the Empire of Japan in Peiping, was looking at the latest information handed over by his capable subordinate Kan Amano, with a look of shock on his face that could not be concealed.
"Yes, the gendarmerie and the special high school class are leaderless. The highest officers in the entire station now only have a few ensigns and sergeants. The only two captains are also on duty in Wanping. They are completely gone.
According to the regulations, I sincerely ask the consul to assist in the management!" Hiroshi Amano, the first military attache of the consulate, bowed his head and replied.
"So serious?!" Xiaoquan looked at the briefing paper in front of him, the expression on his face became more and more solemn.
Since the death of Colonel Muto, the Special High School Class has spent a rare peaceful time under the leadership of Lieutenant Commander Kawasaki. However, unexpectedly, just after entering April, Lieutenant Colonel Kawasaki and his adjutant Major Shirome committed suicide one after another.
The idle counselor Takeuchi also died unexpectedly. What the hell is going on in Peiping?!
"Amano, what do you think of this matter?"
Half an hour later, Koizumi finally finished reading the briefing, but he was still confused - Kawasaki drowned while drunk, Takeuchi died unexpectedly, and Shirome, the only insider, died on the street. Based on all the current evidence, all three people were actually dead.
To commit suicide!
How is this possible? Are these elite warriors of the Japanese Empire all possessed by ghosts?!
"Well," Hiroshi Amano was also confused, "When Lieutenant Colonel Kawasaki died, Takeuchi was present. He was a witness, and after Baime's investigation, it seemed that he also confirmed that Lieutenant Commander Kawasaki died in an accident. But then, Takeuchi-kun unexpectedly
He also died, and Baime happened to be at the scene, and then Baime died on the street. However, after an autopsy, it was found that Baime also died from taking the cyanide he carried with him, and there were many witnesses. There is evidence that Takeuchi asked for help before he died, and the murderer
It seems to be Bai Mu. So, Bai Mu committed suicide out of fear of crime?"
"Um........."
Koizumi lowered his head and pondered. Everything that had just happened seemed to be shrouded in mystery. Everyone died under mysterious circumstances, but there was a reason for their death. There was no shortage of witnesses. It seemed that there would be no problem in reporting it to the police.
But the biggest question is here, how is this possible?!
Everything was fine, why did the three people die inexplicably?
Koizumi was meditating. Suddenly, the door of the office was pushed open again, and an officer wearing a military police uniform and a four-cornered hat walked in. He quickly walked up to Koizumi and handed over a file bag in his hand.
He handed it over and said:
"Consul, we have made another discovery. This was found in Takeuchi's apartment!"
Koizumi took the file bag and opened it. There were some manuscripts and books inside. Koizumi took a look and immediately became interested. Then he looked through it carefully, then pushed the things forward and said to Amano Hiroshi:
"You should also take a look."
Amano Hiroshi took the manuscript and read it carefully. After a moment, he raised his head and said with a look of shock on his face:
"Takeuchi is from the ruling faction?"
"Yes, these are some propaganda documents and instructions from the domestic ruling faction, and the Takeuchi family is the upper echelon of the ruling faction. It seems that these strange incidents are all related to this." Koizumi looked a little sad.
"Then, do you want to report it?" Amano Hiroshi's expression gradually calmed down after being shocked.
"It's difficult to trace the specific situation of the report, but in general, it should be related to the political dispute. If we continue to trace it, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome." Koizumi's eyes showed a thoughtful look.
"Yes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pursue this matter." Amano nodded.
Both of them are very aware of the domestic situation. The struggle between the two parties has gradually become more intense. If it really gets serious, it will probably cause an uproar!
"Amano, please inform the telecommunications room and help me draft a few telegrams to be sent to China and the Guandong Agency. Let the higher-ups take care of how to deal with them! I am only the consul in Peking and am responsible for foreign affairs. As long as I do my duty and report
, don’t worry about other things." Koizumi said.
"Hi." Amano nodded and walked out.
Xiaoquan ordered a few things, dismissed everyone, and the office suddenly fell into silence.
"Sigh, the domestic economic situation is so bad, but these top figures are still fighting among themselves. Is it really going to get to that point in the end?"
Koizumi's brows furrowed...
...........
One week later, Nanjing, Chicken Goose Alley.
"What?!"
The acting boss was also looking at the news just sent from Peiping, and standing next to him was secretary Tang Zong.
"It seems that the Japanese are not monolithic!" Tang Zong next to him had a gloating expression on his face.
"Of course we are not monolithic. Wherever there are people, there are struggles. This world is no different." Dai Jiangshan put down the documents in his hands with a bit of sadness on his face. "Just now, the Party Mediation Office was still plotting to frame our Secret Service. I didn't expect it."
Then the Japanese also made such a fuss, it was a troubled time, a troubled time!"
"However, it is a good thing for the Japanese to fight among themselves. At least they have no time to take care of China. This can also buy us time. You know, the principal's German mechanics have already completed three training. Given time, we may not be able to follow suit.
The Japanese are capable of fighting!" Tang Zong's face showed a bit of excitement.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say!" Dai Jiangshan's face was not as optimistic as Tang Zong's.
If the domestic struggle in Japan continues to be evenly matched, it will indeed be a good thing for China. But I am afraid that after the conflict cannot be suppressed, once the emperor takes action, the Japanese will quickly form a consensus. By that time,
Japan's war against our country can no longer be avoided!
"By the way, where is Lao Liu? Has he arrived?" Dai Jiangshan thought for a moment and then raised his head.
"Lao Liu? Isn't he still in Beiping?" Tang Zong said in surprise.
"Oh, when he sent the telegram three days ago, he had already left for Nanjing at the same time. Calculating the time, it should be here by then, right?" Geng Chaozhong looked at the calendar on the wall.
"I'll go take a look." Tang Zong hurriedly walked out.
Jingle Bell!
At this moment, the phone on the table rang. Virgo picked up the phone, nodded slightly, and then said to Tang Zong:
"Here we are, Lao Liu is at the train station now. He came here on the train of the 18th Army. You go and pick him up in person. By the way, don't take him back to Chuli. There is a Huayuan Trading Company on Liuquan Road. You pick him up.
Get there.”
"Understood!" Tang Zong nodded, turned around and was about to go out.
"Wait a minute," Virgo stopped Tang Zong, "Please keep it secret. This time Lao Liu returns to Nanjing, no one can know about it. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Tang Zong nodded vigorously, then opened the door and walked out.
He knew that Lao Liu's return to Nanjing this time must be related to matters in Japan, and Virgo's preparations should be almost complete!
