Chapter 111: Awarding the title (asking for the moon)
Five days later.
Shanghai, Consulate of Japan in Shanghai.
Office of the Military Attaché in Shanghai.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao was wearing a Japanese military uniform with a serious expression. His eyes rested on the military map hanging on the wall.
This is the latest military map of China's East China region drawn by the military.
The place names of Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Ningbo were heavily circled with pencils.
"Eiichi, do you know what this means?" Yingzuo Zhenzhao asked.
"The finance and taxation of the Chinese government." Ying Zuoying answered respectfully.
"Yes, the biggest financial source of Chang Kaishen's Central Army is here." Yingzuo Zhenzhao nodded, "As long as we capture this place, Chang Kaishen's government will be in trouble, and the empire will speed up the occupation of China as much as possible.
pace."
"Your Majesty Colonel, Director Inoue is here." A Japanese officer came in to report.
"Please Inoue-kun please go to the living room and wait for a while."
"yes."
Kage Sasaki glanced at his nephew, "You don't think much of Inoue Hiko?"
"A bunch of rabble." Ying Zuoying raised the corner of her mouth with contempt in her tone.
"A rabble?" Yingzuo Zhenzhao glanced at Yingzuoying, "It is the so-called 'rabble' you call them, but they have repeatedly made military exploits for the empire."
Ying Zuoying opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but when he saw Ying Zuozhenzhao's scrutinizing eyes, he closed his mouth.
Yes, he despises the Inoue Mansion.
In his eyes, this is just a bunch of imperial rogue organizations and a bunch of miscellaneous troops.
"Eiichi, you are too proud." Kage Sasaki said with a serious expression, "You remember, Inoue Hiko is a citizen of the Empire. He and his men serve the Empire. As long as they can contribute to the Empire, we will
Be encouraging and supportive.”
"There are many Chinese people in the Inoue Mansion. These Chinese people are also serving the empire. Their role is greater than you think." Kage Zuozhenzhao patted Kage Zuoying on the shoulder, "There are some things that these empires
It is more convenient for Rongrong and Chinese people to do it."
"yes."
"No, you don't understand." Yingzuo Zhenzhao's tone became more severe, "I will give you a piece of advice, don't be superstitious about professionalism. The most important thing is that the right people do the right things."
Kagezuo Eiichi said nothing.
"Cheng Qianfan's matter, do you know where you went wrong?"
"I'm causing trouble for you, uncle." Shadow Zuoyi said.
Pretending to be Russians and attacking French Concession patrols, this incident had a rather negative repercussions. The Soviet consulate in Shanghai seemed to have found clues and expressed strong dissatisfaction to Yingzuo Zhenzhao.
The most important thing is that Kagezuo Eiichi acted on his own initiative in this matter, which made Kagezuo Zhenzhao not very happy.
"You still don't understand." Yingzuo Zhenzhao shook his head, "Cheng Qianfan is your schoolmate. As far as I know, this person has a good impression of the empire. If you don't win over such a person, you only want to destroy him physically.
, Eiichi, I’m very disappointed.”
"Eiichi understands." Kagezuo Eiichi bowed deeply and said.
"I hope you really understand." Yingzuo Zhenzhao patted his nephew on the shoulder, "China is very big and very weak. The empire is small, but extremely powerful. It is easy to conquer China, but it is difficult to conquer China. We
We need many Chinese people like Cheng Qianfan who have a good impression of the empire to serve the empire."
…
"Inoue-kun, I kept you waiting for a long time." Kage Sasaki said with a smile on his face.
"His Majesty Colonel." Inoue Hiko bowed and saluted. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a medium build, a narrow face, a slightly pale face, and cold eyes.
"No need to be restrained, please take a seat." Kage Sasaki nodded, "Is there any news about the Endo team?"
"Yes, Your Majesty Colonel, there is news from Nanjing that the Chinese government has decided to execute the Endo group."
"What a pity." Kage Sasaki sighed, "I have met Endo-kun. He is a warrior who is extremely loyal to the empire."
"According to the information we have received, everyone in the Endo team is loyal to the empire, and they have withstood the torture of words and deeds by China's secret service."
"Is 'Wutong' safe?"
"Yes, Endo-kun and others protected 'Indus' with their lives." Inouehiko looked at Kage Sasaki, "Your Excellency Osaka, Inouehiko has a merciless request."
"Just do whatever you want to do, and I will arrange for people in Nanjing to cooperate with you." Kagezao Zhenaki looked serious, "Endo-kun and others are warriors of the empire, and the empire will not just watch them die.
.”
"Thank you." Inoue Yan immediately stood up and bowed again.
Hiroshi Endo is his absolute confidant, a fellow Osaka fellow and a senior agent belonging to the Inoue Mansion.
Hearing that Nanjing was going to execute Hiroshi Endo, everyone in the Inoue mansion was agitated.
Due to both emotion and reason, he could not just watch Endo Hiroshi being executed without being indifferent.
It's just that the Inoue Mansion's power in Nanjing is meager, so he can only ask for help from Kage Zuozhenzhao.
After seeing off Inoue Yan, Yingzuo Zhenzhao frowned.
In fact, according to Yingzuo Zhenzhao, it is extremely difficult to save people in the capital of the Nationalist Government.
Kage Sasaki himself does not support this kind of action that is almost fatal.
If one of his agents encounters this kind of situation, Yingzuo Zhenzhao can only choose 'a strong man cuts off his wrist'.
Although it is cruel, this is the most correct choice for the secret service.
However, the Inoue Mansion is special. These Japanese ronin are very 'unity', or it can be said that they have strong charlatanism.
Inoue Yan must rescue Endo Hiroshi in order to win back the morale of his men.
Kage Sasaki shook his head. This may be one of the reasons why Eiichi dislikes the Inoue Mansion.
"Where is Eiichi?" Back in the study, Yingzuo Zhenzhao asked.
"Eiichi made an appointment with Miss Keiko," the officer said.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao frowned and snorted coldly.
…
Hangzhou, Xiongzhen Tower.
Xiaobailou.
Yu Ping'an's office.
Cheng Qianfan had a serious face, dressed in a straight national army uniform, and stood at attention.
Just this morning, he had completed his studies ahead of schedule, officially graduated, and completed the Xiongzhen Tower special training class.
This was a small-scale graduation ceremony specially organized by Yu Pingan for him. It was also a title and award ceremony.
According to normal procedures, after officially graduating from the special training class, Cheng Qianfan will be awarded the rank of lieutenant.
However, he made great contributions by assisting Xiongzhenlou in Hangzhou to capture Japanese spy leader Nagakichi Kawada.
The award for this contribution was also officially telegraphed to Xiongzhen Tower yesterday.
"There is an order from Virgo." Yu Ping'an looked solemn.
Cheng Qianfan immediately raised his hips and tightened his abdomen, showing a standard military posture.
"This is Cheng Qianfan, a student of the special training class at Xiongzhen Building in Hangzhou of the Secret Service. He excelled academically during the special training."
"Moreover, he was awarded a special commendation for his outstanding performance in the case of apprehending Japanese agent Kawada Nagakichi."
"Lieutenant Cheng Qianfan."
"My subordinate is here!" Cheng Qianfan said loudly.
"A reward of five hundred French coins."
"Conferred the rank of captain."
"Captain Xicheng Qianfan, keep up your efforts and be loyal to the leader and the party and the country with sincerity and unparalleled spirit.
