Kitazawa was questioned a series of times by Lieutenant General Yazaki Kanju, and he was immediately speechless, because that was the fact, and he could not tolerate quibbles!
"But our empire's intelligence agency has such special powers and uses various resources to perform tasks. Sometimes it needs to be flexible!" Kitazawa said without confidence.
The secret service is a special department of the military. Because intelligence work is of great value, it usually has a lot of special powers. Over time, some of their practices have become acquiesced.
But Kitazawa has confused this concept. The military will not give unlimited power to the secret service. All things must be done under supervision and must be controllable.
"You have to talk about it from a work perspective. Well, why didn't you report this operation to me in advance from planning to implementation? But you chose to use your personal connections to operate in secret. What are you afraid of?"
"If Chen Mingxiang is really suspicious, as the head of the Mei Agency, I am qualified to say hello to the commander of the North China Front and use a piece of intelligence to test Chen Mingxiang's loyalty. This is not something that cannot be considered."
"In the final analysis, you don't have any evidence at all. It's all your own conjecture. You think Chen Mingxiang is an agent of the Military Command Bureau. You don't dare to test him again because you know you will fail, so you frame him and prove that you are.
correct."
"In the face of the interests of the Japanese Empire, Chen Mingxiang's relationship within the imperial army is meaningless. Don't think that having a good personal relationship will hinder you from carrying out your mission? The key is that no one has confidence in you. Can you take it?
Come up with some doubtful evidence!"
"You have been staring at Chen Mingxiang for two years, right? You consider yourself an elite in the empire's intelligence circle, and you always feel that you are not trusted, but you have racked your brains and tried every means to find evidence. Is it Chen Mingxiang who is so powerful, or you?
Lack of ability? Tell me, what is going on?" Yazaki Kanju asked.
Only then did Kitazawa realize that the agency chief was no less powerful than Kenshiro Shibayama. He could make everything he said come to the point, and he had no way to defend himself!
Admitting that you are incompetent? You can't say such a thing no matter what. It also concerns your own dignity. You can't say that I just don't believe you people. I just relied on my own guesses, so I wanted to frame Chen Mingxiang.
Get rid of it?
"Lieutenant Colonel Kitazawa Ping, I announce the decision of the dispatched army headquarters to deal with you. After investigation and evidence collection by the gendarmerie headquarters in Shanghai, it is completely determined that you deliberately framed Chen Mingxiang. This is not only an offense to His Majesty the Emperor, but also an offense to His Majesty the Emperor.
A disgrace to the dispatched troops!”
"Secretly colluding with the operational staff of the North China Front Army Headquarters to steal the combat plan reported by the North China Front Army's Twelfth Army Headquarters. This also constitutes a serious violation of discipline and the crime of leaking secrets. Commander-in-Chief Okamura Neiji personally issued an order to commit seppuku.
Apologize!"
"You can find an intermediary and execute it under the supervision of the Army Military Police. I believe that as a warrior of His Majesty the Emperor, you will be happy to accept this arrangement." Colonel Hamada said.
He felt that Yazaki Kanju's performance was a bit sluggish. Why talk so much nonsense with a guy who is going to die? He could just announce the result and be done with it. He was still waiting to have dinner at Mara Villa in the evening!
During World War II, Japanese soldiers were deeply poisoned by the Bushido spirit and advocated suicide by committing seppuku. To put it more simply, they cut their own abdomen open with a short knife, causing them to bleed to death.
The practice of committing seppuku became popular in the so-called Heian period when Emperor Kanmu of Japan moved the capital from Nara to Heian-kyo, which is now Tokyo, in 794.
However, few people can survive this method, because they will not die immediately. It is said that it will take up to nineteen hours to die. The severe pain will cause frequent screams, rolling on the ground, fainting, and even affect
His face was filled with tears, and there were endless ridiculous things happening.
The person who is recruited as the assistant of the seppuku, maintains the seriousness of seppuku, and cuts off the head of the seppuku at the most painful moment, is called "the wrong person"!
There are also some people who want to engage in seppuku and show off their Bushido spirit. They are worried that they cannot bear the blow of seppuku, so they use a fan or a wooden knife to mark their abdomen as a formal act of seppuku. In fact,
The wrong person was invited in advance and killed by beheading him directly. In Japan, this method is called fan-cut, and it is also recognized as committing seppuku.
The person who introduces the wrong person is usually a relative or a good friend, which is a very honorable thing. However, neither Yazaki Kanju nor Colonel Hamada will be the wrong person for Kitazawa Ping. He is just a lieutenant colonel, a subordinate of the intelligence team.
Just explain the mistake to him.
"Commander-in-chief Okamura actually wants me to commit seppuku? But my starting point is for the empire, for His Majesty the Emperor. Is it possible that a Chinese like Chen Mingxiang is more important than an imperial soldier like me?" Kitazawa was anxious, he didn't
He was afraid of death, but he couldn't accept such a death.
"How come you still don't understand your problem? If you win, even if you frame Chen Mingxiang, all this can be covered up and the punishment will not be too serious. But the problem is, you failed!"
"Chen Mingxiang is the Political Affairs Councilor of the Jinling Government and the Chief of Police of the Ministry of the Interior. He is an important member of the Central Committee and a direct descendant of Chen Gongbo. The Empire must consider the sentiments of the Jinling Government. He is also a meritorious official of the Empire who was awarded the Emperor's Medal. It is necessary to dispatch troops
Consider the impact and safeguard the authority of His Majesty the Emperor."
"Lieutenant General Shimomura Sada, the commander of the North China Front, is very angry about this matter. You have offended the dignity of the North China Front. Needless to say, the attitude of the military police is that Chen Mingxiang is one of their people. You have targeted him again and again, and you have done such a thing.
Come on, will they let you go?"
"I contacted General Shibayama via telegram. He asked me to cremate your body and send it back to your hometown for burial. You don't have to think about this. I hope you can accept this glorious ceremony and not be shot by the military police.
Break your head!" Yazaki Kanju said.
After hearing the last two sentences, Kitazawa knew that the result of committing seppuku could not be changed. The only thing Kenshiro Shibayama, an old superior, could do for him was to send his ashes back to his hometown for burial, and nothing else.
Nothing can be done. This is an order from the commander-in-chief of the dispatch army, General Okamura Neiji!
Yazaki Kanju's words are very clear, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. The winner has the final say in everything. What is there to complain about if you lose?
It’s not your own problem. If your plan works and kills Chen Mingxiang, then all parties will acquiesce to this fact. Why is there such trouble now?
