Xiaobao and Zhang Fengguang talked for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.

"I'm not going to eat here. You two take your time. But Lao Zhang, if you really take advantage of this Russian woman - you have to be kind to others. Xiaobao said, took out all the money in his pocket, put it on the table, and turned to leave.

Xiaobao walked briskly on the way home. He was very happy today. Konishi used to look like he was about to die for the emperor, which made Xiaobao grit his teeth with hatred.

Now that Xiao Xiguang has kidnapped someone else's wife and has a child, Xiaobao thinks that Xiao Xiguang is cute. I feel like Hikaru Konishi is a real person.

In the past, Xiaobao saw Zhang Fengguang like an ascetic, and Xiaobao was not comfortable. He still can't understand Zhang Fengguang's doctrine. But now that he sees that Zhang Fengguang has also begun to live a little human life, Xiaobao is still happy for him.

It doesn't matter if he's a Russian or a Japanese twit, as long as he's happy.

……

There was silence in the conference room of the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army.

A thin old man sitting in the middle was like an old monk in meditation, and his face sank like water.

Yanagida Motozo and Yamaoka Michitake and others were silent.

This old man is Miji Tsukawa, who has retired from active service.

In 1931, before Seishiro Itagaki and others were about to launch the Manchurian Incident, rumors had already been heard in Japan. The emperor sent Hashimoto Toranosuke to Lushun to dissuade him, but the Kwantung Army did not buy Hashimoto Toranosuke's account at all, and gave him the nickname Hashimoto Toranosuke.

Later, the emperor sent Miji Tsugawa to come. Miji Tsukawa pressed his itinerary three days later, and secretly notified Seishiro Itagaki and others to launch an incident in advance.

It can be said that Miji Tsugawa was a person who supported the position of the Kwantung Army. And he was also one of the organizers behind the 226 incident. That's why he was retired from active duty to reserve by the emperor.

But Miji Tsukawa came this time to play against the Kwantung Army. He came to dissuade the Kwantung Army from acting rashly.

"Is it true that I heard that the Emperor is going to send His Excellency to Moscow as an ambassador?" Yanagida asked.

"Yes," Miji Tsugawa replied.

"I know that you have long wanted to fight the Soviet Union, so I am very anxious about getting caught up in the Chinese battlefield now." Miji Tsugawa said slowly.

"But now that Britain and France have declared war on Germany, they are preoccupied with Asia. This is a good opportunity for us to make a move on the China Peninsula. Can't you see? Miji Tsugawa asked.

"I heard that the Fifth Division is already preparing to march into Vietnam, is that true?" Yanagida asked again.

"I have an old friend named Zenzo Endo. He is now in Harbin. He and I have both been to Siberia before. It was the dispatch of troops in 1918 that resulted in our return in vain. Endo also froze off his ears. He stayed here, determined to transform the Chinese. Now I'm going to see him. Ladies and gentlemen, I will take my leave. After Miji Tsukawa finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside.

Everyone present stood up to see them off, while their heads pondered the last words of Miji Tsugawa.

Yanagida returned to his office. An officer of about forty years old was already waiting at the door of his office. The officer also had a blonde foreigner with him.

"Ono-kun, you're back." Yanagida said with a smile.

The person waiting outside was Onodera Daisa, the military attache stationed in Sweden. The foreigner who followed him was called Ivanov, who turned out to be a Polish intelligence officer. After Poland was partitioned, he went to Sweden to play for Onodera.

Ivanov hated Germany and the Soviet Union most of all, so he used his original intelligence network in Poland to serve Britain and France on the one hand, and Japan on the other.

His current Polish nationality is no longer useful, and he has now come to Manchukuo with the intention of obtaining Manchukuo nationality through the Japanese.

In this way, both Germany and the Soviet Union, which recognized Manchukuo, could play the role of a cover identity.

Yanagida Motozo let the two of them into the office and asked, "How is the dispatch mission going?" ”

Onodera glanced at Ivanov and said, "The dispatch of personnel is going well. Until now it has not been discovered by the Soviets. ”

In recent years, Onodera recruited Soviet-hating people in Europe for training and then sent them to the Soviet Union. It turned out that because the Soviet Union was very tightly guarded on the border line, it was always difficult to start. It was Ivanov who suggested that he smuggle it by boat through the boundary lake between Estonia and the Soviet Union, which led to his success.

"Ono-kun, you're in Sweden. What do you think of the war between the USSR and Finland? Yanagida asked again.

"Now the Soviet army is in big trouble. Although Britain had declared war on Germany, both Britain and Germany secretly gave Finland a lot of support. Of course, Sweden has also provided a lot of support. There were even those who volunteered to go to Finland to fight. But if the Soviets had not taken any chance, the Finns would have lost in the end. Onodera replied frankly.

"General Miji Tsugawa just left from here. In a month or two he will be ambassador to the Soviet Union. There were people in Japan who wanted to compromise with the Soviets. Their eyes were fixed on the south. What do you think about this? Yanagida asked again.

The south naturally refers to the British, French, and Dutch colonies in Southeast Asia.

"Will the Americans agree with us doing this?" Onodera asked rhetorically.

"Nonsense! Our powerful navy is ready to smash the Americans. Yanagida said.

"General, maybe you can wait and see." Onodera suggested.

Both going south and going north have their own reasons, and they can't be debated all at once.

"It's better that he doesn't show up much after he arrives in Manchuria. In particular, don't let people see what it has to do with our intelligence department. There were not only Soviet intelligence officers in Harbin. Yanagida said pointing at Ivanov.

"I know. Even those from the original Polish consulate I wouldn't let him go. Onodera replied.

After Onodera and Ivanov walked out of Yanagida's office, Ivanov asked in a whisper in German: "Although I didn't fully understand your conversation with your commander, I still heard that you didn't tell your commander the news that Germany was about to attack Denmark and that the Soviet Union might attack the three Baltic states." Why would you do this? ”

"I don't want to get involved in these idiots' arguments. I want to live a few more years. You have to be careful, too. Anyone who doesn't have an appetite for them, they kill without blinking. Onodera whispered.

"Besides, I came to Harbin to meet my friend Toshiro Wankura. It's a pity that he died in the woman's bed for no apparent reason. Onodera said regretfully.

When Xiaobao was still some distance from his home, a car passed by. He saw Zenzo Endo and his wife standing at the door of the house, still looking into the distance.

"Hello, Mr. Endo." Po greeted Zenzo Endo with a smile.

"Hello, Xiaobaojun." Endo bowed to Xiaobao. When he looked down, he could clearly see that he was missing an ear.
