Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 705: Secret War in Jinling

Tanaka Koichi, the special envoy of the Japanese base camp, arrived in Nanjing and disturbed a pool of spring water. While Chairman Chiang was still hesitating and waiting, some people went further than him and got deeper. Tang Qiuli's sudden high-profile visit to Nanjing stirred up even more confusion.

lofty

Because he did not understand the secret talks between Tanaka Koichi and senior government officials and generals, Chairman Chiang was very passive. After scolding Dai Li, director of the Military Command Bureau, and Ye Xiufeng, director of the Central Command Bureau, he ordered them to obtain the information immediately.

Dai Li and Ye Xiufeng came out of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's office, which almost made them faint. They both knew that this was a tricky job. It was already past nine o'clock in the morning, and there were only ten hours until seven o'clock in the evening. It was difficult for these two to die.

head of secret service

The common pressure forced them to unite, but the two were sworn enemies. In order to compete for favor, they often shot each other cold arrows, tripped up each other's backs, and stabbed each other secretly. No matter how they thought about it, they were too embarrassed to speak out.

Ye Xiufeng, as Dai Li's former boss, an old man from the Central Government, and one of the founders of the Kuomintang's spy agency, is much older than Dai Li. He respects his status, and even if he has ideas, he is too shy to say them out. The two spy chiefs have big eyes.

Staring at each other, no one wanted to bow their head and ask for help. Time passed by, and both of them were secretly worried.

Dai Li is still open-minded. He knows very well that if this task cannot be completed, neither he nor Ye Xiufeng can continue to hang out. Although they usually bite each other's hair, they are just two dogs barking next to Chairman Chiang.

Dogs are just competing for favor. The only owner is Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.

, the purpose is the same, Dai Li opened his mouth, and Ye Xiufeng got what he wanted. The two spy chiefs immediately reached an agreement to set up a joint intelligence team, each of which dispatched capable agents. The Bureau of Military Statistics was responsible for investigating senior government officials and generals, and the Bureau of Central Statistics was responsible for investigating.

Investigation by Koichi Tanaka.

The two were modest and gave in, chatting and laughing side by side out of the chairman's official residence, leaving their entourage dumbfounded. This was top news. They wanted to eat each other's directors. When will they become like brothers and put on a pair of trousers?

Just now, this group of followers almost got into a fight because of a quarrel. Seeing this situation, they were very bored. The boss shook hands and made peace. What are we, the little soldiers and crabs, doing? What are we arguing about?

Chairman Jiang watched Dai Li and Ye Xiufeng leave in a hurry, and sat down on the armchair, his brows furrowed, and he was worried. He did have plans to deal with Tang Qiuli. Even if Tang Qiuli didn't take the initiative to come to Nanjing this time, in the

When the conditions are right, we should also look for opportunities to take action. However, this

This time there was no chance. Tang Qiuli had already shouted so loudly that the whole country knew that he was coming to Nanjing. If he started now, it would only be the result of losing the hearts of the people and betraying their relatives. What's more, there was a Japanese with ulterior motives who was watching with ulterior motives. His attitude was unclear. He sighed.

, there is a sense of powerlessness.

Tang Qiuli, who had already arrived in Zhengzhou, did not know what was happening at Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's residence. He had already given an order to Le Yiqin to fly to Nanjing. The accompanying Communications Director Chen Feng sent a telegram from Yan Xishan.

Sent from Dingbian, "Vice Chairman Tang Xunjian, I am glad to hear that the ** division troops have successfully recovered most of Shanxi, and Taiyuan will be captured soon. Baichuan is happy to hear this."

News, weeping with joy, the fall of Shanxi was not caused by the Jin army's disadvantage in fighting, but because the Japanese army was powerful and had no reinforcements from outside, so it had to give up. Now that the Jin army has rested and reorganized, all the soldiers are eager to regain their hometown, just like the long-term drought.

Please ask Vice Chairman Tang to issue an order, and all the officers and soldiers of the Jin army will fight bravely to kill the enemy in order to repay the high hopes of the elders of the Three Jin Dynasties. I sincerely hope to call you back as soon as possible."

Tang Qiuli read Yan Xishan's telegram and smiled coldly. This Yan Xishan started picking at the abacus again. He had a good idea. His troops had killed all the Japanese. He was about to send troops to the Pingjin area. Shanxi had no trace of it.

It's strange that he wants to go back to Shanxi to pick up a ready-made bargain. Why does this Yan Xishan always think that others are fools?

We worked hard and took great risks to get Shanxi, but only a telegram from you, Yan Xishan, gave us up. Either we were crazy about it, or we were red-eyed, or it was the bad idea of ​​that high-ranking official who made Yan Xishan and

It was already a great grace for his defeated soldiers to stay in Dingbian. As soon as Tang Qiuli let go, the telegram fell to the ground and drifted into the distance with a spring breeze. He was not even in the mood to reply to Yan Xishan's telegram.

Chairman Chiang in Nanjing was angry and worried, Tang Qiuli in Zhengzhou was focused on Nanjing, and Emperor Hirohito in Tokyo was furious. Neji Okamura died in the battle, and he expressed his hatred for the Japanese military and the lunatics of the island nation.

The shock and blow were no less than an eight-magnitude earthquake, and a front-level commander died in battle. This was unique in the history of Japanese wars, and Okamura Yingji set a precedent for a disgraceful record in the Japanese military.

Emperor Hirohito's face was livid, with a fierce look in his eyes, and he stared at the ministers fiercely. Minister of War Minai Koichi was sweating, his face was pale, and his eyes were lifeless. Chief of General Staff Prince Zaihi was expressionless, but his triangular eyes were filled with expressions from time to time.

There was a cold light flashing, obviously he was planning something, but the Minister of War, Shigemitsu Aoi, was in a different situation.

He is as straight as a stick, his face is as swollen as a pig's head, his gold-rimmed glasses have long since flown far away, and he kisses the soil aggrievedly. He is dressed in a straight general uniform, with an open collar, wrinkled like a dirty rag.

His ribbons and medals were scattered all over the floor, and beads of sweat were flowing down his half-bald forehead. The person who made the distinguished minister so honorable was none other than Hirohito, who was still breathing heavily and still angry.

Emperor.

Okamura Neiji died, and his death was not honorable enough. He did not die while fighting the troops of the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli, but he died on a plane leaving 80,000 imperial soldiers who were defending and apparently escaped from the battle. It was more embarrassing than ever.

, if Koichi Minai hadn't thought he was smart and was good at making decisions, Taiyuan would have held on until the last moment, and the Kwantung Army troops would have moved south, and it is very possible that the situation would have changed.

Well now, the army general died in disgrace, Taiyuan is in danger, and it will be lost sooner or later. The Kwantung Army's southbound troops in the Pingjin area are also surrounded by the Japanese division troops. Thinking of all this, Emperor Hirohito wants to kick him

Miuchi Koichi, he is going crazy. The all-out war against China has been going on for nearly a year. In addition to losing troops and generals, there are constant defeats. One North China will stop the empire from going south. If this continues, when will the Holy War in Greater East Asia be possible?

victory?

"Do we have to wait until I pass away and pray for my descendants before I can hear such good news?" This is what Emperor Hirohito roared to his ministers after he savaged the Minister of War, Shigemitsu Aoi, and looked at him.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was almost in a state of rage, and the ministers who usually chattered wisely chose to be silent so as not to touch this bad luck. The hall was dull and depressing, with the only sound of Emperor Hirohito's heavy breathing like a beast.

Seeing that the usually talkative ministers had become dull today, looking at their noses with their eyes, and their noses with their hearts, in deep contemplation, trying their best to avoid his expectant eyes, Emperor Hirohito was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he was too lazy to talk to these guys.

discuss and issue an edict directly

, carry out general mobilization in the mainland, form a new North China Expedition Army, and prepare for the attack on the Songhu area. Once the special envoy mission fails, they will immediately launch attacks in the above two directions at the same time, and Japan's war machine will rumble into action again.

Nanjing, an ordinary lane on the east side of Zhongshan Road, an inconspicuous private house, the black door is closed, the huge copper door knocker is covered with a thin layer of dust, it seems that no one has lived there for a long time, the white walls and black tiles

, bunches of wild grass and dark green

The moss on the ground is mottled and mixed, giving off an atmosphere of desolation and desolation. The stone steps at the door have lost their original smoothness due to the age, and have become pitted and uneven. The original lightness has been covered up by the soil.

blue.

Tanaka Hongichi woke up slowly. His eyes were covered by black cloth and he couldn't see everything in front of him. His hands were tied behind his back. As he struggled, he felt burning pain. He could only judge by feeling whether there was anything in the room.

There were few people, but the sound of footsteps was extremely light, and the cool and damp ground made him shiver.

For Tanaka Hongichi, this was all a dream. He and Duan Jingquan, who had met many times, had been talking for several hours in a high-end hotel room. They broke up on bad terms at the beginning and gradually gave in.

Their common interests are getting closer and closer, because they all face a common enemy, Tang Qiuli.

Since the last time he broke up with Duan Jingquan on the yacht in Mochou Lake, he immediately came to the secret intelligence station of the Base Camp Intelligence Bureau in Nanjing to report the talks to the base camp. Tanaka Hongichi discovered that the originally planned talks

The conditions are too wishful thinking and domineering, it is simply an alliance under the city.

The conditions offered by the Japanese promised that after the empire obtained North China, it would no longer have any claims to the territory of other parts of China. The requirement for the National Government was that when the Empire of Japan was fully engaged in dealing with the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, it was not allowed to

If it provides any form of support, North China will become one of the pro-Japanese independent countries like Manchukuo, and the government of the Republic of China will recognize its independence and sovereignty.

After Duan Jingquan read this initial text, his expression changed immediately. It was not that he was patriotic, but that such conditions were difficult for even him to accept. What's more, the Japanese were beaten on the head by Tang Qiuli in North China.

He was defeated in the Songhu battlefield. If such conditions were given to Chairman Chiang, his head would have to be moved at that time, and his backstage chairman, Chairman Wang, would not agree.

After several quarrels, Tanaka Hong became cruel and completely changed the conditions. Not only did he not propose territorial claims to North China, he even added that Taiwan would be returned to China. Such conditions were not even thought of by Duan Jingquan, and he lost several

Ten years of Taiwan can be taken back. This is a huge advantage. Even if it is to eradicate ten more people like Tang Qiuli, it is still worth it. When Chairman Chiang saw such conditions, he would be so satisfied that he would die of joy.

This time, there was no disagreement. Tanaka Hongyi and Duan Jingquan toasted to celebrate. They were both excited to achieve their goals. As soon as they took a sip of red wine, there was a gentle knock on the door of the room.
