Three days after the assassination of the heroic model Togo, the Japanese Super High School finally took action. They suddenly arrested two garrison officers, one of whom was a lieutenant colonel.
Then they raided a village on the outskirts of Tianjin and arrested more than a dozen armed men. Then Tanaka Misuke personally reported to Dongxiang Yingmo: "Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, the person who assassinated you has been caught."
Dongxiang hero model immediately asked: "What is going on?"
Tanaka Weisuke said calmly: "The people who assassinated you are a group of anti-Japanese elements, belonging to the underground party in Tianjin. They bribed two scum officers and accidentally learned about your trip, so they planned this assassination."
These two soldiers were the scapegoats that Tanaka Misuke found. They were both civilians and had no backers. The only backer, Hashimoto Yuminan, was already dead. There was definitely no one to speak for them.
Dongxiang Yingmo is an old fox and has seen many storms. Naturally, he will not easily believe Tanaka Weisuke's words, so he asked: "Have everything been found out? Is the evidence sufficient?"
Tanaka Misuke said immediately: "Everything has been clarified, here are the investigation results of the case," and then handed over a file.
There is a series of evidence in the file, which not only records what happened, but also the confessions of the garrison officers, which can fully prove that those two people were moles.
After reading these things, Dongxiang Yingmo said: "These two are also officers of the empire. I really didn't expect them to do such a thing. It is simply unreasonable."
Tanaka Weisuke immediately said: "Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, there is no need to be angry. There are many officers in the empire. We cannot guarantee that everyone will be loyal. It is understandable that there are one or two scum."
Dongxiang Yingmo continued: "But the empire treats its officers very well. I really can't figure out why they do this. I want to ask it myself."
Hearing the words of the hero Togo, Tanaka Weiji felt a little bit in his heart. After all, this series of evidence was all forged, and even the two officers were beaten into submission. If the hero Togo was interrogated in person, the truth would definitely be revealed, so he immediately said: "Your Excellency, Foreign Minister
, with your status, you are not suitable to interrogate these two scum."
Dongxiang Yingmo thought about it carefully and felt that it would be inappropriate to interrogate him in person, so he said, "Well, let my secretary go and ask for me."
Tanaka Weisuke didn't dare to stop him this time. After all, if he did, it would definitely arouse suspicion, so he nodded and simply said: "Okay, I'll take your secretary to ask."
The Togo hero immediately called his secretary and asked him and Tanaka Weisuke to go and inquire.
After more than half an hour, the two people came back. The secretary reported to Dongxiang Yingmo: "Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, those two people are indeed leakers. They are the scum of the empire. They leaked your information for a little money.
.”
Hearing the secretary say the same thing, Dongxiang Yingmo no longer had doubts and simply said: "It is not a pity to die for these scum. Tanaka-kun, what are you going to do with them?"
Tanaka Weisuke said bitterly: "Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, these people are an independent group and have no contact with other people, so they have no value. As for how to deal with it, it depends on what you want."
Dongxiang hero said coldly: "Since they are worthless, kill them as soon as possible, so as to deter those anti-Japanese elements."
Hearing what the Togo hero said, Tanaka Misuke let out a sigh of relief, thinking that as expected, he could be silenced publicly.
All of this was planned by Tanaka Weisuke. After all, these agents knew the tempers of the Japanese high-level officials very well and knew that the Togo hero would definitely make this decision, so they spoke like this.
As for the previous secretary’s answer, Tanaka Weisuke used some tricks to get through by asking two agents to pretend to be adult criminals. After all, Dongxiang Yingmo’s secretary had little experience and was only engaged in clerical work, so it was impossible to tell.
flaw.
After Togo Hero made the decision, Tanaka Misuke reported some more situations, then said goodbye and left, and immediately shot everyone, and then felt relieved.
The Japanese suddenly shot more than a dozen people, including two Japanese officers, which naturally caused quite a stir. Li Yunsheng, who had been paying attention to this matter, got the news immediately.
After figuring out the inside story, Li Yunsheng was very different. He did not expect this to be the case, and he thought with disdain. It seems that senior Japanese officials are no different from officials of the Nationalist Government. When encountering something, the first thing to do is
Avoid responsibility and find a scapegoat.
After thinking for a while, Li Yunsheng felt that this situation was beneficial to him. After all, after the case was closed, the Japanese intelligence agency would definitely relax a little, at least on the surface it would not be aggressive, so that he could meet Keiko Matsushima.
It has been three days since the assassination, but Li Yunsheng has not seen Matsushima Keiko and does not know anything about the situation, so he is a little anxious, so he comes to Zhang Hao and asks: "Has Matsushima Keiko gone home? Is there any news?"
Come meet Signal.”
Zhang Hao replied calmly: "District Chief, my people have been watching and have not seen Matsushima Keiko return home. As for the meeting signal, they have not seen it."
Li Yunsheng frowned a little, not knowing what the situation was, and then said: "Let your people continue to keep an eye on it. Once Keiko Matsushima returns home, no matter whether she sends a signal or not, you must tell me in time."
Zhang Hao nodded, then reported a little more on the situation, then turned and left.
At the same time, in a grocery store in urban Tianjin, several high-level underground party officials were gathering together to discuss the assassination case.
Zhao Chengde was the first to speak: "Comrade Wen Tian, who did you say did this thing? Could it be someone from the military command?"
Zhao Wentian said calmly: "It must be them. After all, this kind of assassination is what the military commander is best at."
Zhao Chengde smiled and said: "These military commanders finally did something good, but it is a pity that they did not kill the Japanese Foreign Minister."
Zhao Wentian said calmly: "At least one major general brigade leader was killed. This result is not bad." Then he changed the subject and said: "We don't have to worry about what the military commanders did. The most important thing now is,
How to accomplish organizational tasks.”
Hearing Zhao Wentian's words, Zhao Chengde sighed and said: "Comrade Wentian, I have already inquired about it. The supplies in the concession are not very abundant now, especially the controlled supplies. There are not many, and the price is very expensive. With the help of our hands
With so much money, you can’t buy much.”
As soon as Zhao Chengde finished speaking, Zhang Qingshan on the side said: "The materials are a bit expensive and acceptable, but I heard that fake goods are rampant in the concession now, and there is often a phenomenon of gangsters eating gangsters. If you are not careful, it will cause
A big loss.”
Hearing what the two people said, Zhao Wentian was very distressed and said with emotion: "The current situation is chaotic, we can only be careful."
Zhao Chengde frowned and then said: "Comrade Wen Tian, in terms of materials, I will think of some ways, but for the sake of safety, I plan to purchase some semi-finished products as much as possible, and then transport them to the arsenal in the rear to be processed into weapons and equipment."
Zhao Wentian nodded and said in agreement: "That's okay, but I heard a news that there is a batch of seamless steel pipes in the concession. If we can get these things, let the arsenal make them into mortars, which can be used against the troops.
It would be of great help.”
Zhao Chengde asked in surprise: "Where did this news come from? Can you be sure?"
Zhao Wentian said cautiously: "One of our intelligence agents got it, saying that this batch of things was originally purchased by the Japanese and the French, but for some unknown reason, the Japanese broke the contract, so this batch of things came in
French Concession."
Upon hearing this answer, Zhao Chengde's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Comrade Wen Tian, do you have any other news?"
Zhao Wentian shook his head and sighed: "If I knew the whereabouts of these seamless steel pipes, I would have sent someone to find them long ago. But now I only know that these things are in the hands of a French businessman, but I don't know the specific information."
Zhao Chengde frowned and was about to say something when Zhang Qingshan said: "Comrade Wen Tian, these things are related to the Japanese. If we try to take advantage of these things, we are likely to be targeted by others, and there is also a
Maybe, this batch of things was originally used as bait by the Japanese."
As soon as Zhang Qingshan finished speaking, the expressions of the other two people became solemn. After a while, Zhao Chengde said seriously: "Comrade Qingshan is right. This matter is probably a Japanese conspiracy. After all, the recent period
During the time, the military commanders have been making trouble, which made the situation in Tianjin very chaotic and caused the Japanese to suffer a lot. Therefore, they may have deliberately set traps. After all, these seamless steel pipes will not only make decisions for us, but also for the military commanders.
People will also be jealous."
Zhao Wentian agreed and said: "Yes, this may indeed be a trap, but we still have to think of ways to get these things. After all, our troops are poorly equipped. Once we get these things, they will be of great use.
"
As soon as Zhao Wentian finished speaking, the other two people nodded. After all, they all knew the situation of the troops and the value of these things, so even if the risk was high, these people would not give up easily.
However, how to obtain these things is a problem. Zhao Chengde asked: "Comrade Wen Tian, but we don't know anything about the whereabouts of these things. Even if we want to take risks, there is no way."
Zhao Wentian said calmly: "We don't have to worry. If these things are bait released by the Japanese, then they will definitely continue to release news to lure us into taking the bait. If this matter is not a conspiracy, that would be better. Although we inquire
The news is more laborious, but the risk is also much smaller, which is also a good result.”
The other two people also agreed with this opinion, so the three of them studied it carefully and then acted separately.
