Major General Saburo Miura, commander of the Japanese gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai, actually prepared to assassinate Nishio Shouzo, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Dispatch Army, who visited Shanghai on 7 July, in order to eradicate the opponent and provoke trouble.

"The plan was initiated by Saburo Miura, assisted by the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet Command and the Marine Corps Command, the gendarmerie was responsible for the operation of the concession, and Nanzo Yunzi hired a group of killers from Shanghai to use it as a pretext for capturing the concession after the fact." Pan Qiwu said.

Dai Li was also a little dumbfounded after listening to the message, this is also outrageous, right? In order to provoke an incident and occupy the concession, the commander of the Japanese military police actually wanted to assassinate the commander-in-chief of the dispatch army.

"He can't intervene in such a big matter, tell Chunfeng to pay close attention to the development of the situation, but he can't act rashly." Dai Li said.

Although the occupation of the concession by the Japanese army would pose a threat to the military command, Boss Dai still believed that the occupation of the concession would be beneficial to the Yamashiro government, and the declaration of war by the United States, Britain and France on Japan would greatly reduce the pressure on the Yamashiro government.

July 7, the 29th year of the Republic of China, was the third anniversary of the July 7 Incident and the third anniversary of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Beginning on 6 July, all the patrol houses in the concession were mobilized and stood guard at all streets and intersections 24 hours a day to prevent clashes.

The Japanese theater in Hongkou, Shanghai, was even more heavily guarded, with three steps, one post, five steps, and one sentry, and the Japanese expatriates were warned by the Marine Corps Command not to go out on the streets during the day, so as not to arouse public anger and put themselves in danger.

Nishio Toshizo was the dignified commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army, and in such a capacity, he came to Shanghai to inspect without tearing his face, and according to the custom, he should be entertained in the concession and accompanied by the ministers of the consulates of various countries.

"This bastard didn't agree to be in the Chinachem Hotel, and actually ran to the International Hotel? You hurry up and rush over, but you haven't calculated that he is crazy to this extent! Receiving a call from Nanzo Yunzi, Saburo Miura scolded.

Nishio Shouzo is simply crazy, the ministers of various countries have already arrived at the Chinachem Hotel, and he actually changed the reception location to the International Hotel without authorization, which is a very serious faux pas.

"No, why haven't you heard movement after twelve o'clock, is this assassination a failure?" Chen Mingxiang was in the office of Huatong Trading Company, looking out the window and said.

From his personal point of view, he did not want the Japanese army to occupy the concession, and with such a place as a cover, the brothers in the military command of the Shanghai city could still hide, and once the Japanese army entered the concession, even the last reliance would be gone.

"Sir, all the Japanese warships on the river have sailed away, and the Japanese marines have not left the Japanese theater of operations." Zhou Guojun, who was in charge of monitoring the two places, called and said.

The naval fleet and the marines did not act, which indicates that Saburo Miura's assassination plan did not succeed and the concession escaped.

He didn't know that the military police headquarters was now in chaos, and Okamura Shaosa and others were all under house arrest by Nishio Shouzo's guards, and now the guards had checked Miura Saburo's office.

"Bastard, Nanzao Yunzi, you are simply crazy, you actually dare to violate the laws of the Great Japanese Empire and participate in the treason of the assassination of General Nishio, what do you think of military discipline and national law? Are you still worthy of being a soldier of the Empire? Gangcun Shaozo was furious.

Miura Saburo's plan is strictly secret from the special high class, after all, the nature of this matter is too bad, in order to prevent someone from reporting to Nishio Shouzo, even Gangmura Shaozo does not know about this matter.

However, the guards of the General Headquarters surrounded the Military Police Headquarters and detained Saburo Miura, so the matter could not be kept secret, and Nanzo Yunzi had to confess the incident to Okamura Shaosa.

When Gangmura Shaozo heard the whole inside story, his face turned pale with fright, assassinating the commander-in-chief of the dispatch army, assassinating a general of the Imperial Army, this is the consequence of being shot, a group of damned ones, I was dragged to death by you.

"Section Chief, for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire, I am not afraid of death, and in the same way, for the sake of the Empire, it is worth sacrificing Admiral Nishio."

"It's a pity that this time it failed, if it succeeds, the Marines will be able to occupy the concession and eradicate this isolated island where anti-Japanese elements are hidden, only in this way can the situation in Shanghai be truly controlled by the empire." Nanzao Yunzi said firmly, with two clear slap prints on his face.

This time, the bad thing was for the Japanese military police, who were usually as poor and arrogant as crabs, and they also swaggered in the American concession and did not know their whereabouts, and they were extremely unprofessional.

As a result, they were discovered by the American GIs on guard outside the International Hotel, and they were all arrested, forcing Saburo Miura to go to the US Marine Corps camp to rescue people.

Nishio Shouzo was not a simple person to be the commander-in-chief of the dispatch army, and as soon as he heard the US minister in Shanghai say this, he became suspicious, and immediately ordered the guards to enter the military police headquarters, detained Miura Saburo, and searched his office.

As a result, a number of security notices printed in English, Japanese, and Chinese were discovered, saying that Japan had taken over the security management of the concession and hoped that people from all walks of life would cooperate.

"What are you talking about, to transfer Saburo Miura back to the country to be the principal of the gendarmerie school? He openly sent gendarmes to the concession to assassinate me, intending to provoke a war between Japan and the United States, Britain, and France. "Nishio Shou is like a cat with its tail stepped on.

"This is what Prince Zaihito of the Idle Palace means, and this is also the meaning of Chief of Staff Sugiyama Moto, I will escort Saburo Miura back to China in three days, if you have any opinions, report directly to the General Staff Headquarters." said the envoy of the General Staff Headquarters.

These two names immediately calmed the anger of Nishio Shouzo, Prince Zaihito of Kanin Palace was the emperor's uncle and the manipulator behind the war of aggression against China, and he was in charge of the army for the emperor, and his authority was inviolable.

The collapse of the cabinet headed by Mitsumasa Yonechi two days ago was caused by the deputy chief of staff Shigeru Sawada holding the seal of this old devil and forcing the Minister of War Shunroku Hata to resign, which shows the power of this prince.

Nishio Toshizo also knew why Saburo Miura would retreat with his whole body, a group of people in the navy such as Mitsumasa Yonechi and Fifty-six Yamamoto strongly opposed an alliance with Germany, and the army wanted to participate in the Axis powers, so the cabinet of Mitsumasa Yonechi would fall.

The army has made up its mind to start a war against the United States, Britain and France, and Miura Saburo's behavior just caters to the wishes of the army bosses, and the occupation of the concession is a good temptation, so even if the crime of assassinating him, the commander-in-chief of the dispatch army, is serious, he can return to China to take up his post unharmed.
