Chapter 280.
Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai.
The commander, Major General Miura Saburo, had a gloomy face, the assassination had failed, and had also involved five gendarmes with three deaths and two injuries, it was really too humiliating.
A bunch of losers, if I had known this, I might as well have bribed some yakuza bandits to do the assassination, and I could have gotten rid of them directly afterward.
Now it’s good, completely passive.
Ensign Sasaki didn’t dare to breathe a single breath, he originally planned to spend money to bribe people from the yakuza to do it, but Major General Miura felt that those people were unreliable, and in case it failed and the other party was wary, then it would be impossible to try to do it again.
In order to strike a blow.
Miura asked Sasaki to select a few of his men with good marksmanship and skill to sneak directly into the concession and carry out the mission of assassinating Cheng Mo.
This was also an operation to “shock” the Ministry of Public Works of the Concession, and to get rid of Cheng Mo, a person who had repeatedly opposed the Special Higher Division of the Military Police, killing two birds with one stone.
But he overestimated his own soldiers and underestimated Cheng Mo’s combat power.
A person could actually be surrounded by five gendarmes who had fought hundreds of battles, and still be able to kill three and injure two, this was simply an unbelievable existence.
This was just the patrolman, if it was a veteran who had fought in a hundred battles, he might still believe it.
“Why wasn’t I told about the information that he went to Hong Kong for four months to receive special training?” Miura Saburo sternly reprimanded Kobayashi Shinichiro.
“We thought it was just an ordinary intensive training, and they were extremely secretive about the contents of this intensive training, we had no way of knowing what they were training ……,” Shinichiro Kobayashi mumbled in explanation.
Obviously, Cheng Mo did not take part in the intensive training of the inspectorates of the Bureau of Public Works before he was directly inducted, and the fact that he possessed such a strong combat power was obviously related to the special training he had gone to Hong Kong in the first half of the year.
This is the most reasonable possibility that the Japanese side can speculate.
After all, before this, Cheng Mo did not show any “combat qualities”, only that time in the Dong’an Hotel detained two Japanese agents.
But that was just an isolated case, and it was also unarmed, and the initial analysis was that Cheng Mo was a member of the Kendo Club when he studied in Japan, so his physical fitness and combat awareness were much stronger than ordinary people.
Now, after the special intensive training, he even possessed extraordinary fighting ability, fighting one against five, or killing three people back in a surprise attack, but he himself was unharmed.
Such a person, if you want to try to sneak attack and assassinate again, the difficulty can be imagined.
“Check, give me the full details of his special training in Hong Kong, I want a copy of an accurate assessment of Cheng Mo’s combat power!”
“Hey!” Shinichiro Kobayashi exclaimed.
“Ensign Sasaki!”
“Your Excellency the Commander.” Ensign Sasaki hurriedly put his legs together and stood at attention in a solemn manner.
“From now on, arrange for someone to keep an eye on this Cheng Mo, I want to know his every move!” Miura Saburo ordered.
“Hi!”
Dropping the bell ……
Miura Saburo picked up the outside line of the phone on his desk, “Moshi Moshi, this is Miura Saburo.”
“General Miura, this is Eiichi Iwai ……”
“Vice Consul General Iwai?” Miura Saburo was a bit surprised, he didn’t deal with the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai directly much, how could Iwai Eiichi call him directly into his office.
“General Miura, Cheng Mo Jun is ……”
“Nani, Iwai-kun, you’re not kidding me, right?” Miura Saburo stood up from his seat with a “miso” and asked into the phone receiver in surprise.
“No joke, Cheng Mo-kun is an intelligence agent that my Ministry of Foreign Affairs is focusing on developing, everything he does is to gain the trust of the top management of the Bureau of Public Works, you are being too impulsive, this will ruin our plans.” Iwai Eiichi gave an angry rebuke.
“Vice Consul Iwai, how can you prove what you say?” Miura Saburo wouldn’t easily trust an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
He had always considered Foreign Ministry officials too weak to deserve the title of the Empire’s elite.
“He is on very good terms with Miss Chiyoko, the machine officer of our consulate, and has helped us tremendously in obtaining a piece of classified information… General Miura, do not be blinded by appearances… Your so-called Cheng Mojun has always been against the empire… That is because the British forced him to do it… If he didn’t do it, he wouldn’t be able to get a foothold in the Bureau of Public Works Patrol Office… Do you understand that? ”
“I don’t understand that thing you guys play with conspiracies and tricks, as long as it’s against the empire, it’s my Miura’s enemy, and I’m going to root it out completely!” Miura Saburo said.
“Miura Saburo, if you feel that what I say you don’t want to listen to, you can let General Doihara tell you can?”
Miura Saburo frowned, Tofihara Kenji, this is the highest officer sent by the domestic base camp to deal with affairs with China, but also the highest leader of the secret service.
The gendarmerie was the army police, and Kenji Soihara was above Miura Saburo in rank and position, so he wouldn’t dare to disobey.
“Don’t you dare hold General Tofihara over me!” Miura Saburo directly hung up on Iwai Eiichi after saying that.
Bastard! Iwai Eiichi on the other end of the phone angrily also slammed the phone, Miura Saburo’s arrogance and brutality made him very uncomfortable.
These soldiers who only know how to “fight and kill” do not know what politics is, if you can rely on force to occupy China, why do you need to use the political means of seduction?
Only by subduing China with China, and then slowly boiling the frog in warm water, can we achieve the goal of completely annexing China.
It was quite necessary to turn and absorb the Chinese who were favorable to Japan and make them become the assistants or puppets of the Empire of Japan to control China, and it was also necessary to absorb some excellent Chinese to become part of the Yamato nation.
In this way, not only could the process of controlling China with China be rapidly advanced, but also the entire Yamato nation could be strengthened for the purpose of completely destroying China.
If the Empire of Japan wanted to become the No. 1 power in East Asia, it had to absorb the excellent Chinese talents and turn the Yamato nation into the best nation in the world.
Using a small portion of the genes of the best Chinese to improve or refine the genes of the Yamato nation is the right way to go.
Miura Saburo is an unadulterated madman, Iwai Eiichi calmed down and still made a call to Shigemitsu Hall.
The person who answered the phone was Kagemusha Teisho.
Iwai Yingyi is the vice consul general in Shanghai, the level is much higher than Kagezo, he did not dare to be negligent, the phone was transferred to the office of Kenji Tofihara.
Kenji Tochihara was also a little surprised to receive Iwai’s call, but after listening to Iwai’s words, he also frowned slightly.
Miura Saburo in Shanghai to do those ridiculous things he more or less also heard some, the great Japanese Empire Major General, actually back to do “kidnapping” blackmail things, it is said that many rich industrialists and tycoons have been blackmailed by him.
This guy made a lot of money.
But Miura Saburo is the commander of the military police, even if there is evidence, he does not have the power to dispose of, and this kind of thing, unless it is a big storm, even if the main camp, at most only dismissed, transferred to the reserve, which is already the most severe punishment.
“Iwai-kun, I know about this matter, I will handle it properly, please don’t worry.” Kenji Tochihara said, intelligence work on China was originally one of his portfolios, and the matter of the Concession was not something that could be done overnight.
Although there were currently only some profit-oriented gangsters who had defected, these people were essentially opportunists.
Can be used, but can not be trusted, and only truly educated in Japan, Japan’s advanced civilization has been convinced by the people are the focus of the object, even if they are still in the way of some reasons, not be able to serve the empire, but it does not prevent them from becoming the empire friends, fellow travelers.
If you push these people to the enemy’s side, with their familiarity and understanding of the empire, it will bring about great destruction.
Especially for a Chinese like Cheng Mo, who had excelled in his studies at one of the Empire’s top universities, his understanding of the Empire was far better than that of the average Chinese, and if such a person were to stand on the opposite side of the Empire, it would do too much harm.
Some people in the country didn’t know what to think, why did they have to drive these people out of the empire instead of leaving them behind, this was the backbone of the empire’s future to rule this ancient country.
At this point, his views coincided with Iwai Eiichi’s.
A gallant man like Miura Saburo had no political outlook on the big picture, and did everything by extremely brutal means.
If killing could solve the problem, the killing in Nanking would have made the Chinese yield long ago. The fact is that the Chinese did not yield, and even fought more and more bravely, causing the Empire to be stuck in this quagmire of war and unable to pull itself out of the quagmire now.
The empire did not get what it wanted in China, what a big land, that is just a piece of cloth to hide the backwardness of civilization.
Now Japan is to eat, feel propped up, can not digest, but also can not spit out, time to drag on, may really drag the empire to collapse.
But Japan’s domestic, can see this crisis of not many people, all feel that this is alarmist, the empire in China on the battlefield to achieve one victory after another, that is not false?
Tofihara Kenji thought twice, or to Miura Saburo went to a phone.
Miura Saburo thought Iwai Ying Yi is pulling the banner of Kenji Tofihara as a tiger skin, did not expect Kenji Tofihara actually really call him.
The harsh reprimand, Miura Saburo’s back is soaked.
Although Kenji Doihara does not have the power to directly dispose of him, but as long as he reported to the Ministry of the Army, then, he is the commander of the military police in Shanghai even when the end.
Such a fat job, idle job, he does not want to lose, and then back to the country to sit on the bench to go, he still want to achieve some great achievements in China.
Hurriedly shrugged off, said he did not understand the situation, it is the Husi detachment of unauthorized action, nonsense, he will dispose of the Husi gendarmerie detachment detachment leader, to ensure that similar things will not happen in the future.
As for the three dead gendarmes and two wounded, he would negotiate with the Bureau of Public Works to bring back the three bodies and the two seriously wounded.
The big deal is to find someone to mediate, apologize and compensate the other party’s losses, and turn this matter into a big deal.
If Cheng Mo was really the intelligence agent he had secretly developed, as Iwai Yingyi had said, he would go along with it and would not continue to pester him.
If he had a strong attitude, then it meant that there was something wrong with this person.
Although Miura Saburo is reckless and bold, he is not stupid, how many of those who can achieve the rank of Major General and hold a real position have no brain?
