Chapter five hundred and ninety-ninth come to an end
Wu Baozhong, who came in a hurry, originally wanted to say hello to Kawashima Jinwu, but when he saw the other person's eyes, he couldn't help being surprised. He didn't know why.
Ever since Wu Baozhong learned that something went wrong at the reception, he immediately became frightened, fearing that he would be accused by the Japanese.
After learning the specific cause of the poisoning, Wu Baozhong breathed a sigh of relief and felt lucky in his heart. After all, the source of the food had nothing to do with him. He was only responsible for the safety of the periphery.
Later, he also participated in the Japanese investigation, but he did not occupy a major position. After all, his status was very low.
After Kawashima Jinwu took responsibility for the matter, Tanaka Weisuke naturally wanted to pursue the matter, so he called Wu Baozhong to the office.
Kawashima Jinwu turned around and left, embarrassing Wu Baozhong, but the traitor did not dare to show anything, after all, he was just a lackey.
Soon arriving at the office of the military police captain, Wu Baozhong said respectfully: "Your Excellency, General, I'm here!"
After saying this, Wu Baozhong looked at the other party carefully. After all, there was a big mess at tonight's cocktail party. He couldn't guess how the military police captain would react.
At this time, Wu Baozhong was also very worried. Although he believed that he did not have much responsibility, he was the first to bring up the issue of the reception, and he had not yet achieved his goal.
But now there are more than twenty people dead, including many Japanese, which naturally makes this traitor worried, fearing that he will be the target of anger. After all, he knows that the Japanese have always been unreasonable.
"President Wu, what do you think of tonight's situation?"
After giving Wu Baozhong a calm look, Tanaka Weisuke spoke slowly, with a mysterious expression on his face.
"Your Excellency General, this matter must have been done by the military commander. These damn anti-Japanese elements do not dare to fight the imperial army with open swords and guns, so they can only use this method."
Wu Baozhong immediately showed a look of indignation, as if he was complaining about the Japanese people. He also had other intentions in doing so, which was to divert Tanaka Weisuke's attention to prevent the military police captain from taking his anger out on him.
"President Wu, this matter was done by the Tian family and his son. The drinks they provided were all poisonous, which led to this result!"
Tanaka Weisuke's tone was serious and he glanced at Wu Baozhong with squinted eyes.
Wu Baozhong was a smart man, and he immediately figured out the problem here, so he immediately said bitterly: "It seems that these two bastards are also anti-Japanese elements of the military command."
In fact, Wu Baozhong had already determined in his heart that the father and son were the scapegoats. After all, such a big move was not something ordinary people could do.
Even the hydrogenide used for poisoning was not something that the Tian family and his son could easily obtain. After all, it was a controlled substance. It would be easy to obtain it in small quantities, but it would be difficult to obtain it in too large quantities.
Because hydrides are industrial products, China cannot produce them at all due to its backward industrial capabilities and must rely on imports.
This kind of poison is usually used by agents. People like the Xiangtian family and his son have no way to obtain so much hydride. That's why Wu Baozhong said that the father and son were members of the military commander. This was also a reminder to Tanaka Misuke.
Hearing Wu Baozhong's words, Tanaka Weisuke nodded, and then said calmly: "The military commanders are becoming more and more arrogant now. In order to stabilize the situation in Tianjin, we must intensify our crackdown. You and the Black Clothes Club must also take action.
to a more important role.”
After a pause, he said again: "I will leave all the follow-up to this case to you, and try to get some clues to find the military commander."
Although the Tian family father and son were used as scapegoats and Kawashima Jinwu was forced to take responsibility, the matter still had to be investigated, so Tanaka Weisuke handed the matter over to Wu Baozhong.
After all, Wu Baozhong has good abilities and has achieved certain results, so in Tanaka Weisuke's eyes, he is considered a capable person.
After hearing what Tanaka Weisuke said, Wu Baozhong let out a sigh of relief. After all, these words showed that he would not be implicated in this matter, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, General, I will go all out to try to find clues."
Tanaka Weisuke nodded, and then added: "Tian family father and son, I will shoot them immediately. You can start the investigation from the Tian family compound."
After handling these matters, Tanaka Weisuke convened the people present at the meeting, announced the results of the matter, and decided to publicly execute the Tian family father and son at dawn tomorrow.
This result confused everyone, especially some of the traitors, who did not believe it, because the Tian family father and son were relatively famous among the traitors, and many people knew them.
But Tanaka Misuke said this, and they didn't dare to refute it. After all, the traitors were all concerned about matters that had nothing to do with themselves, so no one would be troublesome.
Then some Japanese businessmen expressed some opinions on the matter and asked Tanaka Misuke to provide specific evidence.
For the military police, it was easy to find any evidence they wanted, so Tanaka Weisuke had people bring the poisoned wine found from the Tian family compound to show to the doubters.
Being able to do business in this troubled time and earn a lot of family fortune, these businessmen are certainly not stupid, so they still doubt the result.
However, due to Tanaka Misuke's strength, these people did not cause any trouble. After all, the status of businessmen in Japan is not high, and businessmen with real backgrounds did not appear at this cocktail party.
With a reluctant result, he gave everyone an explanation. Tanaka Weisuke turned around and left. As for the purpose of holding the cocktail party, it was naturally not achieved. After all, such a big thing happened and everyone was emotionally unstable. It was not the time to talk about things.
.
Moreover, the traitors who participated in the reception had other ideas. They planned to keep a low profile when doing things for the Japanese in the future. After all, receptions held by the Japanese could be destroyed by military commanders. If they were too pushy, they would be easily destroyed.
The military commander targeted him and he lost his life.
After the results were announced and the reception was over, Tanaka Misuke returned to the office with a tired mood.
Not long after, Kazuo Omiya came to the door and said with a slight solemnity: "Tanaka-kun, the purpose of the reception has not been achieved, what are you going to do next?"
Tanaka Weisuke immediately replied: "Your Majesty Lieutenant General, I will find another opportunity to inform those people and ask them to cooperate with us in collecting supplies."
"But such a big thing has happened and we have lost all face. Will anyone cooperate with you?
Let’s talk about what happened today, I’m afraid it will make many Chinese people have other ideas. If they are willing to do so, will your gentle methods still be useful?”
Omiya Kazuo's tone was very serious. After all, this Japanese lieutenant general was from the older generation and his usual style was to force things, so he looked down upon Tanaka Misuke's method.
As soon as Omiya Kazuo finished speaking, Tanaka Weisuke frowned, and then said: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, I will find a way to get them to cooperate."
"Haha, how much time do you need? Don't forget that the supplies on the front line are already tight. The cabinet and the military have expressed great hope for the Tianjin area, hoping that we can collect a large amount of supplies to alleviate the domestic crisis.
pressure."
Due to the prolongation of the war, the Japanese were severely short of in-demand supplies. The Japanese cabinet placed great expectations on Tianjin, an important economic town, so Omiya Kazuo personally came forward to raise more in-demand supplies.
But Omiya Kazuo was just a professional soldier with a relatively simple mind, so he advocated giving specific material quotas to the puppet government and some Japanese businessmen, and letting these people collect them with all their strength.
As for the method of collection, looting is the main method, supplemented by purchasing. After all, the Japanese are not rich and cannot afford much money at all.
But Tanaka Weisuke did not agree to such a reckless move, because he knew that doing so would be equivalent to killing the goose that lays the egg, which would collapse Tianjin's economic situation.
After all, some time ago, the rampant counterfeit banknotes had made Tianjin's economic situation bad. If forced collection were continued, I'm afraid some Japanese businessmen would go bankrupt.
Therefore, Tanaka Misuke plans to use material control methods to prevent most in-demand items from leaving Tianjin, suppressing commodity prices in Tianjin, and then purchase them at a small price, and stabilize the impact of counterfeit banknotes.
But just as the reception started, when Tanaka Misuke was trying to communicate with some people, a poisoning incident occurred. As a result, he was naturally unable to achieve his goal.
Moreover, because of the poisoning at this drinking party, the Japanese people were disgraced. Although the Tian family father and son were introduced in time as scapegoats and some face was saved, it still left many people with lingering fears.
"Your Majesty Lieutenant General, I will do it as soon as possible."
There was a hint of helplessness in Tanaka Weisuke's tone, but he still wanted to try and see if he could persuade some people. After all, according to Omiya Kazuo's method, although it can be solved temporarily, the consequences will be serious.
Because Japanese businessmen and traitors don't have much money in their hands, and the materials that Japan lacks are all in-demand items. These things come from the concession, so they have to be purchased with money.
And once a strict order is issued to force small and medium-sized businessmen and traitors to complete the quota of collecting materials, these people may go bankrupt. After all, these people were the ones who suffered the most from the counterfeit banknote incident some time ago.
After listening to Tanaka Weisuke's words, Omiya Kazuo did not insist. After all, he could not collect enough supplies, and he would have to use his method sooner or later. So he thought about it and changed the topic and said: "Tanaka-kun, the poisoning at this cocktail party
The incident caused very bad consequences, you..."
"The reason why this incident occurred was entirely due to Kawashima Jinwu's negligence, so I sent him to the front line to serve the empire."
Before Omiya Kazuo finished speaking, Tanaka Misuke spoke seriously, showing a businesslike look.
Hearing what Tanaka Misuke said, Omiya Kazuo was a little surprised, so he looked at the military police captain in surprise and was speechless for a moment.
Omiya Kazuo and Tanaka Misuke have worked together for many years, so they naturally know that Kawashima Kintake is the other's favorite general, but the other side threw him out this time, which really surprised the Japanese lieutenant general.
"Now that Tanaka-kun has finished dealing with it, I won't say anything else."
In the eyes of these Japanese generals, being transferred from a prosperous area like Tianjin to a very dangerous front line was a serious punishment, so Omiya Kazuo could not say anything more.
After that, the two people discussed some other issues, and Omiya Kazuo turned around and left, but there was a hint of complexity in his expression.
