Battle of the Third Reich

Hanagiya’s report was only two pages long, but Ze Tian Shio looked at it for a quarter of an hour. Eventually, after waiting for the impatient Matsuoka to urge him, he handed those two pages to the foreign minister sitting aside.

"It can only be said that Hou Dong Shao Zuo is dissatisfied with the Minister of the Army, and that he does not understand the orders of the superiors enough to prove that he is the planner of this incident. And why did he want to assassinate His Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs? Well. It’s not only him who knows that gangster. I even believe that that person was bought by Chongqing. This is just another assassination operation manipulated by Jiang Zhongzheng." Wan Zetian said, slammed his lips. Ba Zihu reached for the tea cup on the table.

"Who is the target of the assassination? It's not yet possible to make a decision so early. Although the assassin shouted the anti-Japanese slogan at that time, it may also be directed at the German marshal, aiming to destroy the good relations between Germany and Japan." Writing and drawing on his small notebook, he lowered his head and said his thoughts.

"Where is Hanuya, can you let me see him." Matsuoka didn't take it, he passed the report to Ying Zuo, turned his face and asked Miura.

"Ha! He was waiting outside, and I let him in immediately." Miura nodded and agreed.

"Fortunately," Matsuoka said kindly.

"Where, this is a matter within the next minute." Miura bowed to Matsuoka and then turned and walked out of the meeting room.

"The assassin's goal was not me. At that time, I was only five or six meters away from the other party. I could clearly see the man's eyes. His eyes did not look at me at all, but stared at Marshal Blumberg." Look As Miura closed the door, Matsuoka turned his head and booed, then shook his head slightly.

"I thought about this question repeatedly afterwards. If the assassin's goal was a German marshal, what was the purpose? This assassination is not so much as to destroy German-Japanese relations, it is more like destroying the Chinese government of Chongqing and Germany. Relationship.

At that moment, I was most doubtful about Nanjing Wang Zhaoming, because they had reason and conditions and sufficient ability to do such things. Many of them have been unclear about Chongqing’s lotus roots. We are also aware of these, but there are also a group of people who hate and hate Chongqing Jiang Zhongzheng most. heard about it. In order not to become the "crook" mentioned in it, they sometimes do something terrible that we can hardly understand. The "Mei Organ" has been dealing with Nanjing, I believe Ying Zuojun also agrees with me. "Matsuoka said while walking to the corner of the house, picked up the thermos on the tea rack, and walked back to the table to pour some hot water into his cup.

"Do you want to add some more too? Zetian Jun."

"Ah, thank you very much." Ze Tianmao quickly opened the lid of the tea cup and thanked him respectfully.

"It's true, sir. Wang Zhaoming has many short-sighted guys under his mind. It's instinctive to think about the problem. If I haven't read this report, I may be really worried. Maybe it is one of the bold guys. This was done on the 76th." Ying Zuo closed Huagu's report and handed it back to Matsuoka Yoko.

"Captain Huagu’s report exposed the ideological problems of these officers. With so many outstanding instructors in the non-commissioned officers’ school and the Army University, they could not teach our young officers how to obey orders. The questions raised by Huagu are reasonable and thick. Dong Shaozuo does have great suspicions. People with this kind of dangerous thinking actually still hold important positions as the staff of the wing. I think that the gendarmerie should be immediately followed up for investigation." Ying Zuo's expression is extremely serious, but this is because A great opportunity to express your personal attitude in front of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Regardless of the final result, this matter will surely poke forward to the imperial court. Even if Houdong finally proves to be innocent, the life of this Shao Zuo is over. He dared to dispute the opponent’s decision after the army minister’s three orders and five applications. It's just a public stabbing of Tojo's reverse scale. Is the nickname "Razor Tojo" called in vain?

However, compared to the time when the water dog was beaten down, the one who kicked the dog into the river at the earliest time would make Tojo feel closer. Although the role of Ying Zuo made him less concerned about the opinion of the army secretary, but the staff headquarters You know, this major general is a famous man.

"If the assassin's assassination target was really Marshal Blumberg, and it was planned by our officers, then once the matter was revealed..." Ze Tianmao was frightened by his own speculation.

"Not only will the empire's reputation in the world be damaged, but its relationship with Germany will also be severely damaged." Yoshinori Matsuoka said seriously.

"So now we must find out the truth of the matter immediately, and we must catch up with Britain and France. At all costs, we must seize that Liu Agen. This talent is the key to the whole thing. Only by holding him in our hands can we Get the initiative in this matter." Major General Ying Zuo immediately pointed out the key point of the problem.

"We have to prepare for both hands now. One is how to explain if the assassin is assigned by Nanjing. The second is how to respond if the assassin is assigned by Hou Dong Shao Zuo." Matsuoka said with his chin on his finger. To.

"Can't it be assigned by Chongqing?" Zetian then knew that he had asked a stupid question just after he spoke, because the two present here looked at themselves like an idiot.

"Your Excellency, Captain Flower Valley is here." The door of the meeting room was pushed open, and Miura reported from the door.

"Come in." Matsuoka replied loudly.

Miura and Hanaya came into the conference room one after another, stood two meters away from the conference table, took off their military caps, and bowed to Matsuoka.

"You are Captain Hanaya?" Looking at the young military police in front of him, Matsuoka's expression softened.

"Yes, I am a real man of Huagu." Huagu replied loudly.

"Don't be so nervous, Captain Hanaya." Matsuoka moved his finger to the report on the table.

"Oh! I'm not nervous underneath, sir." The captain slightly bowed slightly in a polite manner.

"Well, it is indeed an excellent military police officer." Matsuoka turned his face and said to Zetian, who quickly nodded in agreement.

"Flower Valley." Matsuoka turned and greeted.

"Oh, sir." The captain raised his chest.

"We have read this report and wrote it in great detail. However, you did not submit evidence that convinced us that Houdong Shaozuo had something to do with this matter. Do you have anything to say about this?" Song Gang shook the report in his hand and asked gently.

"Oh! Your Excellency, this is only a preliminary report. I have now made new discoveries that should prove that Hou Dong Shao Zuo planned the assassination of Your Excellency." Hua Gu did not perform stage fright at all, and he replied loudly .

"Huh? Tell me, what new discovery have you made." Matsuoka glanced at Ying Zuo and found that the other party had already prepared a pen to record.

"I found that Houdong Shaozu left the barracks two days ago and secretly met with three other officers at the East Asia Hotel on Zhapu Road. Four witnesses could testify for this. At the same time, I also found that Houdong Shaozu had been in the black market businessman. I bought a Browning pistol in my hand, the same model as the assassin." Huagu reported.

"Lieutenant, don't forget that this is Shanghai, China. Buying a pistol is not a difficult task. There are at least hundreds of pistols of the same model circulating on the black market, which is not enough to prove anything." Ying Zuozhen Zhao put down pen.

"This is just one of the doubts, Lord General." Hua Gu's eyes turned to Ying Zuo, continuing to say: "In addition, more than one person listened to Hou Dong Shao Zuo in these two days, he will do something for everyone A shocking big event, but when someone asked, he looked cryptic and refused to explain.

There was also a lieutenant in the military command. Someone once heard him call the outside world and said that something big will happen in the next few days to prepare the other party. So when I heard the news of the assassination of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the first thing that came to my mind was them. "Hua Gu replied loudly.

"Why didn't you say this in the report just now, and what preparations did you see? What preparations were you talking to?" Zuo Zuo felt that the situation was a bit wrong. A brave officer planned this incident, so obviously they have made preparations.

"Because there is no conclusive evidence, I want to investigate further... I'm sorry, sir, this is my mistake. As for who to call, because it is the internal telephone system of the military headquarters..." Huagu said here, suddenly the door of the meeting room was pushed open.

"Sir! Huangpu Road Police Station just called to inquire, the first brigade of the 116th Engineer Infantry Wing and the second brigade of the 109th Wing were entering the public concession through the Waibaidu Bridge. So they called to ask if there was such a thing." An army Shao Zuo burst into the door and reported loudly.

"Red Deer! Who is the officer in charge? Who is the command!" Ze Tian jumped up when he heard the news.

"According to the other party, it was Amano and Masao, the military headquarters, who saw the two staff officers." Shao Zuo raised his head and reported loudly.
