However, at this time, in the headquarters of the Kanto Office of Lushunkou, Japan, it was not as easy as Geng Chaozhong thought.

The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shigeru, held the saber in his hand and strode into the headquarters of the Kwantung Agency, with a sound of "Your Excellency the Commander has arrived", the whole venue was suddenly silent, and everyone looked timidly at the old Taisho General who was full of medals and had made countless achievements since the Russo-Japanese War, waiting for a storm to come.

Honjo Fan swept the generals present with cold and electric eyes, and was furious:

"Who leaked this news?! The date, time, and method of attack are all bad, and in our Kwantung Agency General Staff, are there any traitors from the Chinese?! Or, which of you inadvertently leaked the plan of action to outsiders?! Now stand up, I give you permission to commit suicide by caesarean section and apologize for the emperor's sins! ”

Everyone lowered their heads, trembling and not daring to reply.

Since last month, news has been circulating in Mukden that the Japanese will use the exercise as a cover to attack the Beida Camp of the Northeast Army on the night of 18 September.

However, the Fengtian Special High School did not know the specific plan of action, and only reported it to the headquarters of the Kanto Office of Lushunkou as a rumor. And when the specific planner of this plan, Gangmura Ningji, learned about it, he was shocked!

This action plan, which I had just written two days ago, and I hadn't had time to report it to the commander-in-chief, Shigeru Honjo, how could it be leaked outside?!

Okamura Ninji immediately investigated several of his attendants, but found that these attendants, for the past few months, had been staying at the headquarters of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and had not taken half a step out of the mouth of Lushun at all!

So, how the hell did this news leak out?!

"Gangcun, the plan was written by you, tell me, who did it?!"

Honjo Shigeru's gaze swept over, and Major General Okamura Ninji, a staff officer of the headquarters, was standing there in contemplation without saying a word. Seeing the commander's gaze looking at him, Gangcun Muran's face had a slight expression, and he said firmly:

"Commander, this incident is definitely a coincidence! The action plan was submitted by me half a month ago, and only you and a few young staff officers knew about it, and even the generals who led the troops on the mission did not know when it would be launched, so how could it be leaked out a month ago? This matter is definitely not an internal leak of our Kwantung Army, there must be another mystery!

Otherwise, it was those civilian officials in the government who guessed wildly and happened to guess the time of the battle! Their vain attempt to prevent us from occupying Manchuria by revealing our battle plan is simply ridiculous! ”

Honjo's face softened slightly, and he slowly spoke: "According to what you say, it's just a coincidence?" ”

"It's definitely a coincidence, otherwise, I can only explain it with ghost Shinto!" Okamura nodded firmly.

"So, General, are we still going as planned?" Masao Sato, the head of the special high school section who was present, asked cautiously.

In the past few days, he has been busy investigating the mole, but nothing has been found. As the head of the highest intelligence agency in the Kanto Agency, Sato has also been under a lot of pressure these days.

Honjo's cold eyes swept over, and Sato's heart trembled when he saw it, so he could only bow his head and say nothing, waiting for his boss's instructions.

"Activate, why not?!"

Shigeru Honjo took off the medals on his chest one by one and placed them on the table, "Everyone! Don't you feel like something is missing from your chest? A scar is the glory of a man, and a medal is the glory of a soldier! Now this opportunity belongs to all of you!

The strength of the empire was bought by the blood of several generations of the Japanese Empire, and our generation is already old and has no ambitions, and the future of the empire will depend on you young people!

Today, I would like to reiterate once again that on September 18, the plan will be launched as scheduled! Even if we tell those stupid and timid Shina people to their faces, they will not dare to act rashly! ”

"Hey!" There was a loud response from the headquarters, and everyone, inspired by the old general's impassioned words, was full of enthusiasm, and they couldn't wait to make a special feat!

"Also, I add," Okamura Ninji next to him spoke, "I will immediately spread more rumors, launch on September 6th, September 8th, and October, and let those Shina people guess when it is!" ”

Honjo glanced at Gangcun with appreciation, Major General Gangmura's method of solving the problem was really ingenious!

..........

Far away in Nanjing, Geng Chaozhong has left No. 53 Ji'e Lane, and everything he just learned made Geng Chaozhong's heart very sad.

Even if they provide accurate information, who can believe it? Even if Wang Tianmu believes it, what about Dai Yunong? What about Zhang Shaoshuai?

At about this time, he was still a wine and beauty in the restaurant hall in Tianjin, Beiping!

Geng Chaozhong shook his head and walked back to the school quickly, originally planning to go to find Xiao Yi, but now when he looked at the time, it was almost 8 o'clock in the evening, and he was late to return, so he would inevitably be inspected and interrogated. It seems that we will have to wait for tomorrow daylight to find an opportunity!

Back in the dormitory, there are only seven or eight people in the Chase shop of more than 30 people, and it seems that after the exam today, there are many people who go out for activities.

Geng Chaozhong smiled and nodded to a few classmates, then changed into military uniforms and walked out - Guo Xiaoxian and Hao Kefu were not in the dormitory, so they must have gone to participate in activities organized by students.

The tradition of the Whampoa Military Academy has always been to pay equal attention to politics and military, combining theory and practice, and in the first period, the main student organization was the Communist Party-led Young Military Federation and the Sun Wenism Society, which was dominated by Kuomintang members, but after April 12, with the consolidation of President Chang's power, the only organization allowed to exist in the school was the Sun Wenist Society.

The current Sun-Wenist Society, called Theoretical Research, has actually become a peripheral organization of the Fuxing Society and the Blue Coat Society.

When I came to the school auditorium, there were already activists from various subjects gathered here, Guo Xiaoxian and Hao Kefu were also among them, Geng Chaozhong quietly walked in, found a seat and sat down slowly.

On the podium, a man in a blue shirt and yellow pants was giving a speech on the necessity of political intelligence for military victory—an apparent example of how the Blue Coat Society was recruiting activists through the speech.

Geng Chaozhong came here, of course, he also had his own mission - to find suitable intelligence talents for Team Leader Dai.

After the first basic course exam, many people will enter various institutions for internships, and Geng Chaozhong must also find suitable talents to lead into Dai Li's secret service.

Wang Tianmu also said just now that the ten-member group is in short supply and urgently needs suitable people to join, but Dai Yunong has strict requirements, and the new members must be from Huangpu, which is a hard requirement, and there must be no loosening in the slightest.

But I've only been here for more than a month, where can I find so many people? Only through this kind of assembly can we observe the right candidates, and then report to Dai Yunong, so that he can be recruited through the Blue Coat Society!

Guo Xiaoxian, Hao Kefu?

Geng Chaozhong shook his head, he didn't want to involve the two people around him in this matter, getting along day and night would inevitably have feelings, and Geng Chaozhong didn't need to have feelings with his subordinates.

What's more, the imminent outbreak of 918 will make Dai Li's secret service face countless major operations, and these actions will undoubtedly be very dangerous.

Geng Chaozhong silently observed the stage and the stage, and gradually determined a few names in his mind........
