Doihara's face-to-face briefing with Muto lasted for more than an hour, and he made comprehensive arrangements for the Japanese Empire's approach, policies, and action strategies towards Peking. It was not until about 1 o'clock in the night that Muto left Doihara's office.
.
However, after Muto left, another person walked into the office soon.
This man had an old face and was wearing a kimono. He looked like the most ordinary old Japanese country man. If Geng Chaozhong saw him now, he would definitely recognize that this man was the Japanese who met him in Nanjing!
When Doihara saw this person coming in, he unexpectedly stood up and helped him sit down on the tatami.
"Kuroki-kun, long time no see."
Doihara looked at the old man in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Doihara-kun, I never thought I would see you again in my lifetime." The old man named Kuroki also had a smile on his face. It was a smile like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Obviously, the two of them have a close relationship.
"Kuroki-kun, after we say goodbye to Kyoto, more than ten years have passed and you have grown old." Doihara said with emotion.
"Yes, but Doihara-kun, you are still so young. Sure enough, power is the best elixir of life." The wrinkles on Kuroki's face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
Indeed, judging from their appearance, Kuroki is at least twenty years older than Doihara. No one would have thought that he was only a man in his early fifties, who was still in his prime.
"Kuroki-kun."
Doihara suddenly stretched out his hand and held Kuroki's hands tightly, with a hint of excitement on his face. This was quite a surprise for Doihara, who had been fighting in the espionage world for nearly twenty years and was known as a cunning and cunning person.
It's such a rare scene. Perhaps, he would only show this kind of emotion when he meets a friend from his youth.
"We met overnight!" Kuroki's eyes also had a bit of nostalgia, "Nagata, Kawamoto, Gangcun, Banheng, Ishihara, you have long been the pillars of the famous empire, but I can only live in a distant foreign country.
I have spent my last years in a foreign country."
"Kuroki-kun, all our members of the Ichiyokai will remember your contribution to the empire!" Doihara's expression was still so excited.
"Okay, Doihara-kun, you don't have to comfort me. My life is like a chrysanthemum in winter. It has already been destined to fall. In one day, you are all top students of the Imperial Army University, and I am just a retired soldier."
I am just a lieutenant colonel. Being able to spend my remaining years in Shanghai and Nanjing is the greatest comfort to me!" Kuroki said.
Doihara was silent.
The Ichiyokai is a young military organization founded in 1921 by the famous Japanese student "San Yuwu" who studied in Germany. Most of its members are top students of the Imperial Army University. They will be all members of the military and intelligence systems of the Japanese army that invaded China in the future.
Almost all of the key figures come from the "Ichiyokai". This organization can be said to be the largest force behind Japan's invasion of China, and it is also the emperor's largest direct descendant in the army!
And in this secret organization that pays great attention to family status and seniority, there is actually a Japanese ronin living in mainland China. He is Kuroki Chikei!
Doihara picked up a bottle of sake from the table and poured a small cup for Kuroki and himself. The two of them didn't say a word, touched the wine cup lightly, raised their heads and drank it all.
"Kuroki-kun," Doihara pouted, as if he was appraising the aftertaste of the sake, "Have you seen anything unusual in the red leaves during the six months you have been in Nanjing?"
"Hongye," Kuroki said with a thoughtful expression on his face, "I have only met him once. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I did not ask him about his current identity, but judging from his every move, there is no
I saw something unusual, and I have verified the information he provided us. Ma Shaowu from the Nanjing Party Mediation Office and Gu Sheng from the Military Police Headquarters are indeed our people, and I have made contact with them. They are now
safe."
"Well," Dofeiyuan nodded, "The identity he reported to me is that of a special agent named Yun Wei from the Fuxing Society's Secret Service. He joined the Fuxing Society through the relationship with the Nanjing Police Department. However, his status is very low now. He is just a spy.
The deputy leader of the action team, he claimed that the Fuxing Society Secret Service only re-employed Huangpu graduates, and non-graduates were not allowed to hold important positions, so now he is considering whether to give up this identity."
"No, we can't give up!" Kuroki shook his head firmly, "Intelligence work focuses on preparing for a rainy day. He joined the Fuxing Society Secret Service when it was first established. Given time, with Hongye's ability, he will definitely be able to
For Fuxingshe to be reused internally, maybe all we need is time!”
"I know that," Doihara nodded, "but it's not a solution if there is always no progress. Judging from the information Hongye investigated, he has tried his best. He is just a peripheral person, but he was able to be discovered by Dai Jiangshan.
His talent is evident in the confidential information of our two spies, so putting it here to delay it always feels like the gain outweighs the gain."
"You still have to be patient," Kuroki shook his head, "Dai Jiangshan's secret service has developed at an astonishing speed. It was just established in 1931, and in less than two years, it has developed into an intelligence organization that can compete with the Party's mediation branch, and has already
It poses an increasingly serious threat to us. The death of Zhang Jingyao some time ago almost destroyed our efforts to care for all walks of life in Peiping. In time, this institution is likely to be our largest and most direct opponent of the special higher education.
This kind of organization is worth the price if it breaks into moles!"
Doihara was also pondering, how to use this red leaf is indeed a bit troublesome. The most critical issue is that Dai Jiangshan only reuses Huangpu graduates, which creates a huge obstacle for the special higher education courses to penetrate into the Fuxing Society.
Seeing that Doihara remained silent, Kuroki stared into Doihara's eyes and continued:
"Doihara-kun, I think that when you come to me, it will never be as simple as reminiscing about the past. If not, you would not send me, a dying man, to Nanjing. Doihara-kun, if you have any ideas, just follow me.
Let’s talk openly and honestly!”
"Kuroki-kun still understands me," Doihara couldn't help but laugh when Kuroki said what was on his mind, "Counting the time, it has been more than two years since Hongye joined the Special Agent Office of the Renaissance Society. According to his current situation,
With his promotion speed, I don’t know how long it will take to break into the core of the Fuxing Society’s Secret Service. I wonder if we should take some measures to help him get promoted faster?”
"What do you mean, give him a few votes?" Kuroki's cloudy eyes flashed.
"If necessary," Doihara nodded, "the key is, how can we gain the greatest trust from him with the least loss!"
"Let me figure this out! Your mind should be on more important things." Kuroki nodded vigorously.
"Okay," Doihara shook Kuroki's hand firmly again, "With the help of your old friend, my burden will be much lighter!"
Having said that, Doihara raised his wine glass and paid tribute to Kuroki again:
