In a "Kikubun Hotel" with geisha in Mukden Yanagicho, a banquet was being held to entertain Major General Kenkawa Miji of the Japanese Army General of Staff Headquarters.

The purpose of Miji Kenkawa's trip was to carry out a plan to suppress the Kwantung Army on the orders of the chief of staff of the Japanese army, Kanaya Fan, but he himself was in favor of this plan.

"Yaxi, it is an honor for Major General Jianchuan to come to the Kwantung Army to guide in person, the glory of the empire will be more brilliant under the guidance of the major general, for His Majesty the Emperor, cheers!"

"Cheers to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"How does Jianchuan-kun judge the situation in the Kanto region, whether the Kwantung Army should do something, and does Jianchuan-kun also have opposing opinions?"

"Hanaya-kun, Jin Gu Fan of the General Staff Headquarters does not approve of the blind movement plan of the Kwantung Army, and this trip is also entrusted by Chief of Staff Jin Gu Fan, the purpose, hehe, you know."

In the hall, the geisha were dancing, and Miji Jianchuan was kneeling beside him, and this young geisha served the guest diligently, not daring to be a little slow.

"Hmph, those old decays are cautious, and their eyes only see the temporary difficulties of the empire and ignore the great opportunity.

Who knows that best?

It's the Kwantung Army.

The Kwantung Army has been stationed in the northeast for a long time, and the lower classes here are not worth paying attention to, but those who are a little powerful and famous are mercenary, and the upper class is even more corrupt and degenerate.

This nation is already incorrigible, forbearance and obedience have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and this nation has been poisoned by Confucianism for thousands of years, and it can be said that it has rotted to the roots.

Their Confucian education values harmony, worships foreigners, fears foreigners, and the whole nation has no fighting spirit at all. However, the education of our Great Japanese Empire is the spirit of bushido, and as long as the two are relatively large, the Imperial Japanese army will crumble at the slightest touch, and no one will resist. ”

Hanaya is referring to the economic difficulties faced by Japan, which in 1929 saw one of the worst economic crises in the Western world. Starting with the United States, the Japanese economy bore the brunt of the crisis, characterized by: overproduction, declining trade, unemployment panic and rural bankruptcy.

On the industrial side, due to overproduction, prices have fallen, and there has been a general lack of industrial starts. Industrial production has fallen by 30-70 percent from its pre-crisis peak. Among them, the operating rate of steel and coal is only half. Coal production fell by 35%, steel production fell by 47%; shipbuilding fell 71%; Cotton fabrics fell by 30%.

Agriculture: In 1930, Japan's bumper rice harvest caused a loss of grain and hurt farmers, and the price of rice fell by 74%. In 1931, a large agricultural harvest failed, causing a large number of farmers to go bankrupt. The Japanese silk industry, which once arose because of trade with the United States, was hit by the economic crisis in the United States, and the price of raw silk fell by 84%, silk mills closed down one after another, wages were stopped, and silkworm farmers went bankrupt.

Trade: Production has stagnated, resulting in a sharp decline in Japan's foreign trade volume. Foreign trade fell by 65%, imports by 72%, and the yen fell by 64%.

Finance: Since 1931, 518 of Japan's 774 general banks have been closed or semi-closed.

It was precisely in view of Japan's domestic predicament that the conservative cabinet did not see a good time to start a war, and the domestic economy did not support the army to fight a war, even though the strategy of annexing Tohoku had long been planned.

However, the Young Zhuang faction or radical faction of the Kwantung Army has repeatedly tested the bottom line of the Northeast Army, and has already figured out the virtues of Zhang Shaoshuai, and the weakness of the Northeast Army is in the hands of the Kwantung Army.

The killing of Zhang Zuolin in Huanggutun, and even the later Jinan tragedy, the Wanbaoshan incident, and the Captain Nakamura incident, all of the above-mentioned incidents did not occur in isolation, but were all constantly testing the response of the Northeast Army and the Southern Government.

It is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong, and their right or wrong mainly depends on how the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army reacts.

To be exact, the Kwantung Army was gambling on the September 18 incident.

And history proves that the Kwantung Army was right.

If Zhang Shaoshuai reacted violently and quickly counterattacked after the Kwantung Army launched, the Kwantung Army would really not be enough to see it.

At that time, the Japanese cabinet and even the military department will take resolute measures to stop the development of the situation.

At most, the two sides fought and bargained afterwards.

"Huagu-kun, that young marshal has 300,000 troops in his hands, not to be underestimated."

"Haha, Jianchuanjun is too worried, that playboy is not his father, he is really a mud who can't support the wall. Don't say 300,000 troops, even if he has 3 million troops in his hands? ”

arrogantly Hua Gu said that Zhang Shaomarshal of the Northeast Army was full of contempt, laughed wildly, and simply regarded the 300,000 Northeast Army as nothing.

"I know what you're talking about. Although I came here with a mission, I personally stand on the side of the Kwantung Army and hope that the Kwantung Army will do a great job. ”

"Haha, Jianchuan-kun is really wise, we will witness the glory of the Kwantung Army together, for the sake of the Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, cheers!"

"Yashi, for the invincible Japanese Empire, a toast to victory!"

That night, the Kwantung Army's Shosa Hanaya was frequently toasting Miji Kenkawa with whiskey imported from France, and when the alcoholic Kenkawa got a little drunk, he hugged the geisha next to him and lost his temper.

"Jianchuan-kun, enjoy it tonight, this is the best goods specially selected for you, it is very good, wonderful, and it will definitely make you satisfied."

"Yuxi, I want to understand how wonderful what you said, Hua Gujun, you are busy, I want to taste the fun of beauty, I am lost."

Jianchuan, who was drunk, entered the room with the support of the geisha, and Hanaya saw Jianchuan Miji's hanging heart finally let go.

The inferior habits of the Japanese army's junior officers have been resisting for a long time, and even if Miji Kenkawa does not side with the Kwantung Army, it will not affect their actions.

While Miji Kenkawa was holding the young girl in her arms to vent to her heart's content, Hanaya was returning to the Kwantung Army War Room in Mukden North City alone.

Here, the other protagonist of the conspiracy, Seishiro Itagaki Daisa, seems a little restless, this Class A war criminal who was sentenced to be hanged in the Tokyo Trial Court in the future, and he is not too sure in his heart at the moment, although they have the audacity to dare to resist and plan this incident, and the disparity in strength is an indisputable fact.

The success of the incident still rested on the Seventh Brigade, which had previously assumed that the Northeast Army would most likely carry out the order and not resist.

At this time, Itatsuro Seishiro was waiting for Hanaya Shaozo while pacing back and forth in the war room, constantly chanting his motto: "The road of life, go all out." ”

At the headquarters of the Kwantung Army Commander in Lushun, Commander Shigeru Honjo, who had just taken office, was enjoying a hot bath.

He didn't seem to be aware of what was going to happen that night, the Kwantung Army's plan to plot Mukden had been in place for a long time, but he didn't know that Itahima Seishiro had launched it in advance tonight.

And Ishihara, the chief of operations who had followed him to Lushun the day before, had already prepared for this historical event.
