Kawasaki Hiroshi's words revealed coldness and ruthlessness. It was true that Lu Chengzhou was the intelligence agent he developed, and he was also the undercover agent he carefully sent to the military command.
However, in the face of the interests of the Japanese Empire, he could sacrifice Lu Chengzhou without hesitation.
Even Takashi Sakai, his former boss and now captain of the 23rd Infantry Regiment, was so indifferent, let alone Lu Chengzhou, a Chinese.
Fortunately, Lu Chengzhou didn't intend to be loyal to him, otherwise he would definitely not be able to figure it out.
After getting Kawasaki Hiroshi's permission, Lu Chengzhou got in touch with Sakai Takashi.
Last time at the Yoshino Hotel, Takashi Sakai gave Lu Chengzhou a phone number.
After the call was dialed, it was indeed Takashi Sakai who answered the phone. After hearing Lu Chengzhou's voice, Takashi Sakai was very happy and agreed to meet Lu Chengzhou immediately.
However, Takashi Sakai proposed not to go to the Yoshino Hotel, but to a private residence on Awaji Street.
When Lu Chengzhou got there, he rang the doorbell and someone soon opened the door.
When he saw Lu Chengzhou, the other party didn't ask any questions, he just asked Lu Chengzhou to come in.
This is a large yard, with a garden at the back, with flowers, grass, trees, and an elegant path.
There was a pond in the back garden and a small pavilion in the middle. The man asked Lu Chengzhou to wait in the pavilion.
Ten minutes later, Takashi Sakai, wearing a kimono, walked along the stone road.
Lu Chengzhou stood up quickly and walked to the entrance of the pavilion to greet him.
"What is the military commander's plan to do?" Takashi Sakai nodded slightly and sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion.
"They already know that you are leaving by train and are planning to take action after the train crosses the big stone bridge." Lu Chengzhou said softly.
"Big stone bridge?" Sakai Takashi's face darkened and he said thoughtfully.
"Please rest assured, I will try my best to stop the military reunification action." Seeing Takashi Sakai's concern, Lu Chengzhou said firmly.
"Stop the military reunification operation?" Sakai Takashi glanced at Lu Chengzhou and murmured.
Obviously, Lu Chengzhou did not know Kawasaki Hiroshi’s true intentions.
Yes, Lu Chengzhou is Japanese. How could Kawasaki Hiro let him know that in order to have a reason to send troops to North China and invade North China, Japan was ready to sacrifice him, an excellent soldier.
"With me in the military command, I will never let the military commander's conspiracy succeed." Lu Chengzhou said "firmly".
"Some things are beyond your control." Sakai Takashi sighed and said with a wry smile.
Lu Chengzhou didn't know Kawasaki Hiroshi's intention, and he sacrificed his life in exchange for the empire to take North China.
The only thing Takashi Sakai was dissatisfied with was why it was him.
No matter who it is, Takashi Sakai will be very excited.
Separating North China from China's territory is the greatest wish of all Japanese people.
Sakai Takashi could contribute anything to the emperor, but he only had one life, and when things came to an end, he was very reluctant to give up.
"I have received orders to participate in this operation." Lu Chengzhou said comfortingly.
Currently, the Zhuzhu plan is going smoothly. Now, all the military commander needs is to discover his identity.
Lu Chengzhou contacted Takashi Sakai twice. The first time was invited by Hiroshi Kawasaki, which was quite normal.
But the second chance encounter actually caused a problem.
In the work of an agent, there are never any chance encounters, so accidents are actually inevitable.
And when he met Takashi Sakai on Awaji Street today, Liu Youjun was already preparing materials and could throw them out at any time.
"I accept your wishes." Sakai Takashi suddenly stood up, bowed to Lu Chengzhou, and said politely.
"This is what I should do." Lu Chengzhou said hurriedly.
He felt very strange. The two sentences Takashi Sakai just said were worthy of careful consideration.
"Some things are beyond your control.", "I accept your wishes."
Sakai Takashi was very pessimistic, as if the military commander's actions would definitely succeed.
Lu Chengzhou clearly told him that he would participate in the military reunification operation, but Sakai Takashi did not respond as he should have.
How is this going?
Lu Chengzhou suddenly had an idea. The military commander's actions might be in line with Japan's wishes.
The actions of the military commander seemed to have solved the heinous crime of Takashi Sakai, but Japan was able to take the opportunity to attack the Nationalist Government.
Leaving aside the real Pillar Plan, if he really participated in the operation, Kawasaki Hiroshi would be able to keep track of the progress of the military command at any time.
After Lu Chengzhou returned to the British Concession, he was still thinking about this issue.
Japan has always wanted to stir up trouble, but the Nationalist Government tolerated concessions, and Japan has never been able to find a reason.
Juntong's Pillar Plan gave Japan a reason to send troops.
If the Nanjing government does not agree to Japan's unreasonable demands, it will definitely trigger a war.
At that time, the military commander's pillar plan will be to shoot himself in the foot.
Shortly after Lu Chengzhou left, Kawasaki Hiro also appeared there.
Takashi Sakai seemed to know that Hiroshi Kawasaki would come, and he sat in the pavilion and did not leave.
"Sakai-kun, I envy you for being able to lay down your life for the Empire and the Emperor. It would be great if the military commander's assassination target was me." Kawasaki Hiroshi said with emotion.
"You haven't had a showdown with Lu Chengzhou yet?" Sakai Takashi said suddenly.
Lu Chengzhou wanted to try his best to stop the military reunification plan to ensure his own safety.
From the inside, he was still a little moved.
In Takashi Sakai's mind, the Chinese have always been weak and incompetent, they are lowly and despicable.
China has such a vast land, which is simply a waste. It should be handed over to Japan to manage it so that it can play a greater role.
"Let him collect information first. It won't be too late to explain it after he gets on the train." Kawasaki Hiro smiled.
If Lu Chengzhou knew his true intentions, would he change his mind?
Kawasaki Hiroshi is still wary of the Chinese.
"Aren't you afraid that Lu Chengzhou will destroy the military reunification plan before taking action?" Sakai Takashi said leisurely.
He felt a little regretful. When Lu Chengzhou expressed his stance to him, he should have accepted his suggestion instead of acting so negatively.
Given the choice between Japan's occupation of North China, or allowing North China to achieve true autonomy, and his life, Takashi Sakai would still choose the latter.
"The military commander is not stupid, Lu Chengzhou will not succeed." Kawasaki Hiro shook his head.
Lu Chengzhou could not discuss the military reunification matter with Li Xiangxue. After he returned to the British Concession, he still met with Liu Youjun at the Lishun Hotel.
"Brother Youjun, I discovered a problem. The Japanese may be hoping that our operation will succeed." Lu Chengzhou waited for Liu Youjun to arrive in the room, stretched out his head and looked around, and found nothing unusual, then closed the door.
"Is there something wrong with the Japanese's brains?" Liu Youjun said in surprise.
"The Japanese are not stupid. They are waiting for us to take action so they can take the opportunity to attack." Lu Chengzhou said worriedly.
"We're not really going to take action, so how could they have a chance?" Liu Youjun said with a smile.
"What if the Japanese themselves killed Takashi Sakai on the train and framed us?" Lu Chengzhou said suddenly.
