Chapter 115: Calculation
The advantage of Hashimoto's group is in the military, and for Kawasaki Hiroshi, there are good and ugly.
The good thing is that in terms of intelligence, Hashimoto will rely on him.
And the downside can also be seen, Hashimoto does not pay attention to intelligence, only believes in force.
Hashimoto believed in one thing: within the range of Japanese artillery, it was the territory of the Great Japanese Empire.
"Hashimoto-kun, according to the intelligence of the 'railway', the reason why the military commander investigated Takashi Sakai was to secretly harm him." Kawasaki's tone, without the slightest concern, seemed excited.
"Who is the railroad?" Hashimoto asked.
He was not short and tall like the average Japanese.
It's just that he doesn't speak Chinese very well, and the two can only communicate in Japanese.
"This person is an intelligence officer I developed two years ago, and he has successfully penetrated into the military command and has won the absolute trust of the military commander." Kawasaki said proudly.
Although he used his identity as a Japanese police instructor as a cover, he could also take the opportunity to spy on Chinese intelligence.
But he is Japanese after all, and even if he is better disguised, others will be wary of him.
Lu Chengzhou, on the other hand, is a Chinese and a native of Haigu.
I am afraid that the military commander would not have dreamed of it, and Lu Chengzhou, who is innocent, had already worked for the Japanese secret service before entering the military command.
Developing Lu Chengzhou into an intelligence officer is the proud stroke of Kawasaki's career.
If Lu Chengzhou can play a huge role, he will be proud of developing Lu Chengzhou in the future.
Hiroshi Kawasaki felt that this idea would soon come to fruition.
The information provided by Lu Chengzhou this time allowed him to lay out in advance.
If Lu Chengzhou can get accurate information, Japan can take this opportunity to force the Nanjing government to bow down completely.
How can a high-ranking officer in Great Japan be able to calculate? As long as the military commander moves, the whole of North China will be compensated to Japan.
"Japanese?" Hashimoto said with a deep groan.
He only believed that the Japanese, inferior Chinese, in his opinion, were not worthy to talk to him.
Hashimoto believed in force, and any war, as long as there were enough artillery, could be easily won.
"The Chinese have been working for us for more than two years and are very reliable." Kawasaki said firmly.
As an intelligence officer, being able to say the words "very reliable" is already the highest evaluation.
If it were Takashi Sakai, Kawasaki might not have said such a thing yet.
But Hashimoto has just arrived and is not very familiar with the situation, so he needs to use this tone to convince Hashimoto.
Lu Chengzhou is not only reliable, but the information he provides is also accurate.
"Do you know the detailed plans of the military commanders?" Hashimoto asked.
Kawasaki Hiroshi's tone really affected him.
Hiroshi Kawasaki is an elite intelligence officer trained by the empire, and since he thinks that the "railway" is reliable, he naturally does not need to verify it.
Although his favorite thing is artillery coverage, Kawasaki's intelligence work cannot be denied.
After all, he is now the chief of staff of the North China garrison army, not the wing commander of the artillery wing.
"It's not clear for the time being, and it is estimated that the military command has no specific plan." Kawasaki shook his head.
Based on his experience, the military command should still be in the stage of intelligence gathering.
Even if there is a plan, it is only on paper and not concrete.
"What do you think?" Hashimoto asked slowly.
"In the early stage, cooperate with the military command. I want Zhao Er to provide Zheng Shiyou with information about Takashi Sakai one after another. Kawasaki smiled.
"Cooperate with the military commander?" Hashimoto said in surprise.
In his opinion, cooperating with the intelligence agencies of the other side is simply an act of treason.
"Since you know the plans of the military commanders, you are not afraid of their actions. I am only worried that the military commanders will not act. Kawasaki said with a smile.
This is the advantage of a strong country, if you suffer a loss, the state can help you get the field back.
If the country is cowardly, no matter how strong the individual is, he will also suffer.
Even the stronger the ability, the greater the loss.
"If the military commander makes a move against Takashi Sakai, for us, it will be a declaration of war! If the Chinese government did not want to fight the Japanese Empire, there was only one way, to cede North China. Kawasaki Hiroshi said coldly.
"So, you're looking for the best excuse for the empire and a reason to force the Chinese government to make concessions?" Hashimoto finally understood Kawasaki's thoughts.
I have to say that Hiroshi Kawasaki's idea makes a lot of sense.
With the military strength of the Japanese Empire, the Chinese army, which had no combat effectiveness to speak of, was simply vulnerable.
Hashimoto even discussed with others that as long as he gave himself an artillery division, he could wipe out all the Chinese troops in a month.
"So we have to give accurate information to the military commanders and let them do it." Hiroshi Kawasaki said with a smile.
"What if their operation succeeds?" Hashimoto said worriedly.
"For the sake of the emperor, we can die at any time, and Takashi Sakai will definitely not frown." Kawasaki said firmly.
"Well, that's up to you." Hashimoto said.
Three days after receiving Zheng Wenyou's money, "Zhao Er" began to provide Zheng Wenyou with information about Takashi Sakai.
At present, Takashi Sakai will not leave Haigu immediately, but he will not stay in Haigu for a long time.
Takashi Sakai is in Haigu, and he still has some personal matters to deal with, and it is estimated that he will not stay in Haigu for more than a week.
This is also the time that Kawasaki Hiroshi gave to the military commander, if you want to assassinate Takashi Sakai, you have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise Takashi Sakai will go to the 23rd Wing, and the military commander can only stare dryly.
"Zhao Er" is indeed a pseudonym, his real name is Qian Zhizhong, and he is the translator of the gendarmerie of the garrison army.
At that time, in order to spy on the intelligence of the Japanese army, Zheng Wenyou rushed to the hospital and tried several Chinese who were working as interpreters in the garrison.
Those translators who still had some conscience, even if they rejected Zheng Wenyou, did not report it.
After Zheng Wenyou contacted Qian Zhizhong, he reported to the gendarmerie as soon as possible.
After Kawasaki Hiroshi got the news, he met Qian Zhizhong in person, and finally Kawasaki Hiroshi decided to let Qian Zhizhong maintain contact with the military commander.
Maybe sometime, it will work.
Sure enough, when Zheng Wenyou paid Qian Zhizhong a high price to buy information about Takashi Sakai, he immediately let Lu Chengzhou test it and discovered the intention of the military commander.
The information provided by Qian Zhizhong about Takashi Sakai is basically true.
Of course, Kawasaki Hiroshi is not stupid, what he asked Qian Zhizhong to hand over to the military commander is just some basic information.
For example, the specific time and route of Takashi Sakai's departure from Haigu, as well as the situation of the entourage, cannot be disclosed to the military commander for the time being.
Kawasaki Hiroshi not only had to calculate the military command, but he also had to calculate the Chinese government.
The payoff will be staggering.
If all goes well, the Chinese government will cede North China to Japan.
At the same time, Kawasaki Hiroshi arranged for Takashi Sakai and Lu Chengzhou to "meet" once, so that Lu Chengzhou could obtain Takashi Sakai's information again.
PS: It's so hard, lack of sleep, lack of energy, and you need a ticket to solve it.
