The captured American officers disappeared suddenly, even at the naval station, and the impact was definitely not small.
After some investigation, Murakami Rokuzhu came to see Saburo Hattori with an ugly expression on his face to discuss how to deal with the matter.
Saburo Hattori is a man in his sixties and is considered a very old major general in the Japanese Navy.
Precisely because of his age, Saburo Hattori still has a great say in the Japanese Navy even if his rank is not high.
"Murakami-kun, what is going on?"
"Your Excellency General, the captured American officers suddenly disappeared from the naval station.
According to what the guard said, several Marines took them away."
Murakami Rokuzhu said this result with basic caution in his tone.
"Baga, how could this happen?"
Hattori Saburo was very annoyed, and then asked in a different direction: "Didn't you say that there would never be any problems?"
Saburo Hattori also knew that the captured American officers were transferred to the Japanese naval base.
Murakami Rokuzhu deliberately informed Hattori Saburo about this matter in order to solve the hidden danger.
"Your Majesty General, those people took the documents you issued and openly took away these American prisoners."
Murakami Rokuzhu's tone was very tactful, fearing that Saburo Hattori would think that he was shirking responsibility.
"What did you say?"
This answer surprised Hattori Saburo, and he asked word for word.
Murakami Rokuzhu repeated it, and finally said: "According to my investigation, someone should have forged documents and then pretended to be imperial soldiers to rescue these American prisoners."
"Bagaya road!"
Hattori Saburo was very angry and cursed immediately, with an angry expression on his face, as if he wanted to kill someone.
However, Murakami Rokuzhu was a direct descendant of Saburo Hattori, and the two had a close relationship, so the rear admiral did not get angry with him.
"Your Majesty General, the question now is, how should we deal with this matter!"
Murakami Rokuzhu's tone was very anxious, but in his heart, he was not worried at all, and he still felt a little happy.
Because all of this was planned by Murakami's Six Pillars, there will be no problems easily.
Before the operation, Murakami Rokuzhu specifically came to Hattori Saburo and said that Chongqing planned to rescue the captured American officers. As a precaution, he suggested that the American prisoners be transferred to the military camp.
He also specifically emphasized that in order to keep it confidential, he could not tell others, which led to this result.
As for the documents issued by Saburo Hattori, they were also forged by Rokuzhu Murakami in order to shirk responsibility.
"this!"
Hattori Saburo was a little hesitant. He did not doubt Murakami Rokuzhu. After all, the two of them were familiar with each other and he trusted each other very much.
What's more, only the two of them knew about this matter. If Murakami Rokuzhu planned this matter, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
Just before Saburo Hattori thought about what to do, there was a knock on the door.
Immediately afterwards, Ichiki Ryoka appeared in front of the two people and asked about the American prisoners.
However, neither Murakami Rokuba nor Hattori Saburo ignored him.
Although ignored by the two people, Yoshikazu Ichiki still had the courage to speak: "Your Majesty General, these American prisoners have escaped. Should we blockade Shanghai and try our best to find the whereabouts of these people?"
"Hmph, this is not what you should care about. Get out of here now."
Seeing Ichimori and Reluctant, Murakami Rokuzhu couldn't bear it anymore and immediately started to chase them away.
Hattori Saburo on the side didn't say much and acquiesced to Murakami Rokubashi's words.
The reason for this is also because Hattori Saburo is a cautious person and does not want to cause any trouble.
Seeing Hattori Saburo's reaction, Ichiki Ryokazu had no choice but to turn around and leave.
As soon as Ichiki Yoshikazu left, Murakami Rokuzhu suggested: "General, please don't make this matter a big deal, otherwise it will be detrimental to us!"
"That's right, we can't let the Army people watch the fun!"
Hattori Saburo immediately agreed with this opinion. After all, he was really worried that someone would use this reason to attack him.
Especially in Shanghai, the struggle between the navy and the army was very fierce, and Saburo Hattori was very worried about being caught.
Murakami Rokuzhu knew Hattori Saburo very well, so he could guess his thoughts, but Yoshikazu Ichigi's reluctance made him feel in danger.
"If we want to suppress this matter, Ichiki Ryokazu can't stay!"
Murakami Rokuzhu planned to kill someone with a borrowed knife, because it would be easier to do things if Saburo Hattori nodded and agreed to get rid of this person.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the death of a navy lieutenant inexplicably.
"Okay, you can handle this matter!"
Hattori Saburo immediately nodded in agreement. After all, Ikki Ryowa's performance just now was really hard to appease.
So Saburo Hattori was also worried that Yoshikazu Ichiki would make things worse, which would be troublesome.
This is also because Saburo Hattori is older and thinks about safety in everything.
As for the dozen American prisoners, they were nothing in his eyes. As long as he found a reason, he could fool them.
After all, the life and death of a dozen prisoners of war would not matter at all if the top management did not pay attention.
After the two people discussed the aftermath, Hattori Saburo spoke again: "How do you think these Chinese people saved people?"
Murakami Rokuzhu had already revealed some information before, and Hattori Saburo could naturally guess that it was the Chinese who did this.
Now that the aftermath plan has been discussed, Saburo Hattori naturally thought of this issue.
"Your Majesty General, there must be a traitor within our ranks, otherwise it would not be so easy for the Chinese to rescue those American prisoners!"
The current situation is obvious. Murakami Rokuzhu did not dare to fool Hattori Saburo, so he gave this answer.
After all, Saburo Hattori is not a fool. Even if he doesn't think of this for a moment, he will realize it sooner or later.
"Who could this traitor be?"
As expected, Saburo Hattori thought that there was a traitor in the navy station, and the question just now was just a test.
After all, this old guy is very cautious. Even if he trusts Murakami's six pillars, he still wants to test it out.
"Your Excellency General, this spy must be by your side!"
"I will investigate this matter!"
After saying this, Saburo Hattori waved his hand, signaling Murakami Rokuzhu to leave.
A few minutes later, Murakami Rokuzhu returned to his office. He breathed a sigh of relief and seemed a little relieved.
After all, all the hidden dangers in this matter have been resolved, and the Murakami Six Pillars are now very safe.
After carefully recalling today's events and feeling that there were no hidden dangers, Murakami Rokuzhu focused on how to get rid of Ichiki Yoshikazu.
Because Saburo Hattori agreed to get rid of this person, it was not difficult to do. As long as there was a similar reason, there would be no further trouble.
After thinking for a while, Murakami Rokuzhu had an idea, so he found a Marine Corps member and whispered a few words to him.
After hearing what Murakami Rokuzhu said, the Marine Corps members were stunned for a moment, but they still nodded in agreement without saying anything more.
That afternoon, Yoshikazu Ichiki and several of his men quietly left the naval station, hoping to track down the whereabouts of the American prisoners.
But as soon as he left the station, he was shot dead on the street, but the murderer drove away and disappeared soon after.
News of Yoshikazu Ichiki's death reached the naval station. A somewhat relaxed smile appeared on Murakami's face, and he said to himself: "This is the end of troublesome things..."
