Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 6 Chapter 18: Negotiation (on)

At the intersection of Sichuan Road and Chongming Road in Hongkou District, there is a seven-story apartment building in the style of modern decoration. Because the nearby is the North Sichuan Road Bridge, the name of the bridge apartment was given.

After the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai in 37 years, the Japanese army invaded Shanghai on a large scale, and subsequently confiscated this building belonging to the Chinese merchants as the location of the Japanese Shanghai Gendarmerie.

The Japanese regard Hongkou as the core control area, and there are also Japanese Marine Corps Command in Shanghai, Japanese Army Command in Shanghai, Concession Marine Corps Command, Mei Organ, Shanghai Organ, and Chiana Fleet Command along Sichuan Road. , Japan Navy and Shanghai Base Command and other military and secret service agencies.

At this time, in a conference room on the fourth floor of the bridge building, a group of Japanese military and political leaders stationed in Shanghai were having extremely fierce discussions.

"It's crazy to do this! I'm firmly against it!" Miura Daisuke, the captain of the Gendarmerie, said loudly, hammering the table.

"Is our military strength insufficient? Isn't the grounds for asking the crime sufficient? Why do the military police want to object, and are unwilling to come up with convincing reasons, it is really incomprehensible." The captain lived in Yoshiyoshi Daisuke. At this time, he has retired recently, so he wants to gain military credit and adds a star to his shoulders. Unfortunately, the 109th United Team is really limited in strength, and the superiors dare not take them. As the main force, so far, this wing has always served as a security operation task, and Tiantian and the anti-Japanese guerrillas in the Jiangnan area competed.

"I also think that this is the best time, Your Excellency." The Major General of the Thirteenth Army Chief of Staff Sakurai, the third major general, said to Shida Shigeru who was sitting on the throne.

"Regarding the issue of sending troops to the concession, we must report to the Staff Headquarters and the Ministry of the Army, because it is related to international relations, and it should not be alarmed by your majesty." Ze Tianmao stood up, and everyone in the room hurriedly followed.

"Only with the consent of His Majesty, I can wait to dispatch troops to the concession, which has already been determined. Ru I understand the mood at the moment, but in this matter, there is no room for loosening." Zetian Mao Answered coldly.

"His Minister of Foreign Affairs, you have been granted full authority by the base camp this time, if you agree." Shang Zu Ozuo refused to give up. The temptation of promotion is now burning his heart like a flame, watching the chance of getting a star. Deprivation, let the 54-year-old boss Zuo how willing to reconcile.

"I wouldn't agree. Going to live in Dazuo, you must not use force at this time." Matsuoka Yoichi made a final decision, completely smashing Shinjuku's heart of serving the country.

"After returning, the commanders must strictly follow the response policy just released, and the offenders will be dealt with by strict military law. The traffic between Hongkou and the concession will be immediately blocked, and all suspicious persons will be strictly investigated. The Gendarmerie shall pay special attention to Shanghai. The search of the area in the west can request the assistance of the Thirteenth Army if necessary.

Before sending a new order from the dispatching army command, all troops must strictly guard the headquarters of the headquarters, must not enter the concession, and soldiers must not leave the barracks without a military order. The Marines asked Major General Suka. Opposite the conference table, Zetian Mao nodded slightly as Major General Suga Hikojiro, attached to the Japanese Navy Shanghai at the Military and Military Office.

Because it was Yoshinori Matsuoka who presided over the meeting nominally, the Navy sent the senior military officer to attend the meeting. During the whole meeting, the Rear Admiral did not speak at all.

"The Navy will obey the command line of the Command and His Majesty, and you can rest assured about this." The Rear Admiral slightly bowed.

"Then it is so determined, and the meeting will be closed. Miura Daisuke and Hiroshi Masaaki stay for a while." Yoshinori Matsuoka stood up, and the people at the meeting were not affiliated with each other, so they could only distinguish their ranks by official rank. The foreign minister has the highest job grade.

Everyone stood up and bowed farewell to the foreign minister and the army commander, then left the meeting room in twos and threes, and only the captain of the gendarmerie and the head of the May organ remained.

"How is the investigation going?" Matsuoka's expression was so serious that he stared at Miura of the Gendarmerie.

"Captain Hanaya has found the assassin's information in the file, and after comparing it with the photos on the spot, it can be confirmed that it is the same person." Miura Miro Daizuo replied respectfully.

"Is this matter really related to the 76th?" Ze Tianmao asked nervously.

"It's not certain yet, I asked Li Shiqun, and he vowed to be totally unaware of it." Miura replied.

"This Liu" Matsuoka opened the documents brought by Miura.

"Liu Agen, Your Excellency. He once worked as an agent in the Huxi Intelligence Section. After the Huxi Intelligence Section was disbanded, he turned to No. 76 and was a professional thug who participated in several assassination operations." The captain of the gendarmerie reported.

"The U.S. institution has also started an investigation, Your Excellency." Matsuoka looked to the well-known secret service chief.

"The situation on the 76th is very complicated, but I have a feeling that this matter should have nothing to do with them." Major General Ying Zuo raised his hand to correct his glasses, and then opened the notebook he brought with him.

"According to Liu Agen's relationship with this person in Shanghai, we have obtained some clues that he should still stay in Shanghai, but he doesn't know which area to hide in," the secret service chief said.

"There is a situation I want to report to your Excellency, and Captain Hua Gu speculates that in this matter, it is likely that our officers will be involved." Miura obviously hesitated when reporting, and the other three people present immediately changed their complexions.

"Can you show the evidence?"

"Participant's name, identity, and unit?"

"Please elaborate."

The three people present questioned their questions almost simultaneously. It is interesting that no one even shouted "This is impossible".

"Hua Gu also just expressed his personal suspicions and could not come up with useful evidence for the time being. He believes that the mastermind of this incident should be 116 Division Commander Houdong Nao Shao Zuo and the 13th Army Command Staff Captain Amano Yoshihide. Seeing a male lieutenant, and Captain Kamiyasen of 116 United may also be involved." Miura reported.

"Houdong, Amano, Shimi and Kamiya." Ying Zuo wrote these names in his notebook.

"It's impossible to suspect these officers for no reason. Amano and Ken see both of me. From their resumes, they are two promising young men." Ze Tian Mao said.

"Hua Gu had seen this Liu Agen at a party organized by Hou Dong Shao Zuo. When he saw Shao Zuo talking with Liu A Gen quietly, it was very strange at that time how a divisional staff could interact with a Chinese gangster. Then he learned that At the time, Liu Agen worked in the Shanghai West Intelligence Section. Hodong had some private investments in Shanghai. He often hired Liu Agen to solve some things that were not convenient for him to come forward." Miura said a little euphemism, but besides Matsuoka, he was a bit confused. , The remaining two people understood, nothing more than unspeakable work such as extortion, kidnapping and killing.

"This only proves that Hou Dong and Liu Agen know each other, and it cannot prove that he is related to the assassination." Ze Tianmao asked with a frown.

"I asked Hanag the same way. Then he told me one thing. On the day before Foreign Minister Matsuoka arrived, he attended a banquet organized by Hoto." Miura finished, and came up with a report. .

ps: I feel a little sick today, so I will write it here for the time being, I hope you will be considerate, thank you for your support.
