Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 968 The visiting group returns to Tokyo

Jinling.

Since the Weixin Prefecture established its capital here, with the establishment and relocation of a large number of institutions, Jinling City has shown a kind of abnormal prosperity.

The city was almost completely destroyed a few years ago, but now it is undergoing reconstruction. However, it is often lamented that the people who come to work here are all from surrounding areas.

Walking on the streets of Jinling, it is difficult to hear the most authentic Jinling dialect.

There is nothing more severe than national hatred and family feuds!

Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters.

Since the establishment of this headquarters, it has become the nominal highest command organization. Although it is impossible for military leaders in various places to completely obey the orders of the headquarters, they still have to do the work on the surface.

The Japanese also gradually discovered their own logistical problems. This problem was not only a problem of material supply, but more of a problem of the logistics system.

So, under the research of a group of staff, they began to learn from Germany and establish a relatively independent logistics management system. In China, this work was of course the responsibility of the expeditionary force headquarters.

In other words, anyone who is responsible for logistics, especially those responsible for logistics reform, will have a lot of money to make!

Today, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force is a skinny old man, Hata Shungo.

This old Japanese guy was not that thin originally. It is said that when he was in school and just joined the army, some people described him as being as strong as a bull!

Later, he participated in the war against the Soviet Union in Dalian. Because he was shot in the lung, he rested for a long time and became thinner and thinner.

Some people said that it was because he was seriously injured by the bullet, especially the injury to his lungs, which caused him to have long-term breathing difficulties.

Some people also said that it was because the Japanese used large doses of addictive drugs when treating him.

According to the Japanese custom, the latter statement is more credible.

Hata Shungo was holding a stack of information and thinking hard while looking at a huge map.

This was the Zhejiang-Jiangxi combat plan he formulated.

Not long ago, American planes took off from an aircraft carrier and bombed the Japanese homeland.

This made His Majesty the Emperor and the headquarters extremely angry. The key point was that after dropping their bombs, many planes flew towards Zhejiang and Jiangxi areas of China and successfully landed at airports controlled by the south. This result was obviously not something the headquarters could tolerate, and telegrams of reprimand were sent one after another.

In fact, Hata Shungo is a very interesting person. As the commander-in-chief of the China Expeditionary Force, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign plan was not his original intention. He even believed that at present and in the future, the Japanese should gather all their forces to deal with the Pacific battlefield, while the China battlefield should continue to shrink and reduce the garrison to about 400,000 people. If necessary, some cities that do not need to be controlled can be abandoned.

This guy even suggested to the headquarters to abandon Jiangcheng to reduce the pressure on manpower and logistics.

Needless to say, this suggestion was met with a barrage of criticism from the headquarters.

It has to be said that if Hata Shungo's suggestion was really adopted by the headquarters, and the Japanese really withdrew their troops in China, abandoned central and southern China, and held on to north and east China, while concentrating their forces on responding to changes in the Pacific battlefield, then the pressure on the United States would definitely increase exponentially.

After studying the map for a long time, Hata Shungo called his adjutant. "The Americans are trying to decipher the radio communication system we use with headquarters. This plan is extremely important. First, we're worried about the safety of the power generation, and second, we're worried about the lack of clarity. Please arrange for someone to deliver it to Tokyo."

The adjutant thought for a moment and then asked, "There's an officer corps returning home to participate in a medal ceremony, and some wealthy businessmen are going with them. They're traveling north by train and will catch a boat or plane in Tianjin. Why not assign them to this officer corps? That would make the cover-up easier."

Hata Shungo knew about this and nodded. "Dean Wang has also sent people to join this officer corps, right?"

"Ha, their internal affairs department has informed us that they're going to use this trip to transport a batch of documents to Tokyo and hand them over to the Special High Technology Bureau."

Hata Shungo smiled and said, "Our Dean Wang is really thoughtful. So, you can make the arrangements."

"Hayi!"

.................

Jinling, an izakaya.

More and more devils came to Nanjing to do business, and many taverns and restaurants sprang up. Near the expeditionary force headquarters, there were women in kimonos and officers who changed into casual clothes to go out and have fun.

This izakaya is different from other crowded and small izakayas. It adopts a membership system and requires advance reservations. Although the decoration is not very luxurious, I heard that the chef is specially invited from Tokyo, and the dishes made are very authentic and delicious.

There are also two private rooms here, which are suitable for discussing things.

Asai Hideaki was a captain in the expeditionary force and a well-known figure in the logistics department of the expeditionary force. He might not be in a high position, but he had a lot of benefits.

He is a frequent visitor here. In the past, he would always order two pots of sake and call two geishas, ​​and sing while drinking. Sometimes, when he was in the mood, he would even stand up and dance.

But today, Asai Hideaki just had a gloomy face, drinking one glass after another, looking up from time to time, as if waiting for someone.

Not long after, there was a sound of the door opening, and the sliding door was slowly opened and then quickly closed.

The man who came was an older man. When he saw the wine glass on Asai Hideaki's table, he frowned.

"Baga! It's already this time, and you still feel like drinking!"

Asai Hideaki respected this man very much, so he quickly stood up and apologized repeatedly.

The older man whispered, "I've received reliable information that the Confidential Office has sent someone to join an officer group. They're going to take something north and then fly to Tokyo. What could it be that the Commander-in-Chief can personally arrange?"

Asai Hideaki's face turned pale.

The older man said sternly, "If this is really aimed at General Nishio, then it will be very troublesome. If the General falls, neither you nor I will be spared!"

The General Nishio they were referring to was the former commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Nishio Hisazo.

Xiwei was very unpopular. People in the south hated him to the core because he burned, killed, looted and plundered property in Nanjing. Many people in the Japanese army also hated him to the core.

On the one hand, because he was not born into a samurai family, but a merchant family, he was obsessed with money and would do anything to climb the ladder, which offended many of his colleagues. At the time, there were even people within the expeditionary force who wanted to assassinate him, the most notable of whom was the commander of the Shanghai Military Police, who planned to kill him during Nishio's inspection of Shanghai, but unfortunately they failed.

On the other hand, Nishio was regarded as a heretic by many people in the army because his father-in-law was a naval general and he initially relied on his father-in-law to get to his position.

Two years ago, Nishio was recalled to Tokyo and never recovered from his loss. He lived in constant fear that someone would make a fuss about his previous acts of greed and money-making.

Asai Hideaki said in a deep voice: "What do you need me to do?"

The older man said slowly, "Asai, Lord Nishio has done you and me a favor. This time, you will join the returning officer group. I will provide you with anything you need. Don't worry, your family and children in Tokyo will be taken care of."

This is a promise and a threat.

Asai's eyes turned red, "Ha! Asai knows what to do!"
