The new consul general of Mukden is none other than Lieutenant Yoshiichi Tanaka, who served as a staff officer of the military headquarters four years ago, and after narrowly escaping death in the Japanese occupation of Kanto Prefecture (Dalian) last time, the originally stubborn Yoshiichi Tanaka has a little more tactfulness, and compared with the young people of the less strong faction, Yoshiichi Tanaka has more experience and tactfulness.

Compared with conservatives like Aoki Nobune, Tanaka Yoshiichi has more adventurous spirit, so Tanaka Yoshiichi returned to Japan after the Sato family was wiped out, and he was like a fish in water, and served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Military Department for four years.

Appointed as consul of Fengtian, due to the cooperation between He Tianci Zhongxing Group and Germany, a large number of local mineral deposits in Northeast China were controlled by Germany, and Japan's Manchurian Railway could only transfer its strength to the Rehe area, and the initial progress was obvious, but in the later period, due to He Tianci's transfer to Dongmeng, He Tianci's eleventh town also came to the Chifeng area to compete with the Japanese army for coal mines, and the two sides caused a small-scale conflict.

In Kwantung Prefecture, it was even more because Japan was at a disadvantage in the soybean competition with the Zhongxing Group, and a large number of people in Kwantung Prefecture were encroached upon, causing the peasants to revolt, and the rebel army was exterminated several times, but instead of suppressing it, it caused a greater rebellion, and according to intelligence, this time the rebel army was again able to get the Russian water beads, and its strength grew rapidly, and in the Ganjingzi area, it even robbed the arsenal of a Japanese military police squad, and its morale was booming.

Therefore, after Ito Hirobumi's recommendation, the Japanese government sent Tanaka Yoshiichi, who was familiar with the situation in Northeast China, to serve as consul general in Mukden, hoping that he could handle this matter well. And after Tanaka Yoshiichi went through the incident of his friend Saito's family being wiped out, he buried the seeds of hatred in his heart, and he was a little more restrained than when he came to the Northeast a few years ago, and he seemed more mature, more and more like his top boss Aoki Xuanjun. But there is more adventurous spirit than Aoki.

Tanaka Yoshiichi was tired of saddle horses along the way, and took a boat for two days, which was very hard, but he just arrived in Dalian but it was difficult for him to adapt to the weather in Dalian, at this time the northeast was full of snow, but thanks to the temperate monsoon climate of the Liaodong Peninsula is still warm. Just a few days ago, there was a winter rain, and even in Dalian, which is so close to the Japanese climate, Tanaka Yoshiichi still felt the cold, because when he set foot on this land, he would think of the Sato family, the little boy who would just call him uncle.

Tanaka was so preoccupied that he didn't get a good rest on his first night in Dalian, and woke up early the next morning with red eyes open to prepare for the day's work. Tanaka is a full China expert, but he has been away from the Northeast for more than four years, and he doesn't know what changes the Northeast thinks, so he decided to call Inoue Shaosa, an intelligence agent, to understand the changes in the Northeast.

"Your Excellency!"

Yoshiichi Tanaka had red eyes, and his face was pale without rest, but Tanaka was still full of energy, looking at the well he walked into. Tanaka smiled and said, "Inoue-kun, sit down." Talk slowly. ”

After learning some information about Inoue, Tanaka nodded, and he also got some information before he came, including the assassination plan that Inoue and Captain Ikeda of the railway garrison jointly implemented against He Tianci in the last half month, but as for some details that Inoue talked to him, Tanaka was still shocked.

He didn't dare to imagine that during the time he was gone, this old opponent of his own, He Tianci, had become so powerful. was able to rise rapidly, and through the information that Inoue gave him, he clearly knew that the current Mukden was a mess, and some bandit agents erected by the Japanese army in the ASEAN area. Almost all of them were wiped out by He Tianci, and the originally stable Kanto Prefecture is now full of beacons.

Although these things were tricky, Tanaka Yoshiichi was confident that he could do them well, and he decided to change his tough approach when he became consul general in Mukden, and he decided to solve the problem from within the Chinese, using the intelligence network of the special service squad all over the northeast.

Compared with other news, Tanaka Yoshiichi was more concerned about He Tianci's news, and when he heard Inoue's sworn description of how he assassinated He Tianci, Tanaka couldn't help but stand up, sighed and said: "Stupid, stupid, for a powerful local power like He Tianci, the empire should be given support, so that he can become the spokesperson of the interests of the empire." ”

"Hayi!" Inoue originally thought that Tanaka's attitude towards his assassination of He Tianci was supportive, because according to his understanding, Tanaka had boldly argued with He Tianci during the Russo-Japanese War.

The expression on Tanaka's face remained unchanged, and he waved his hand and said, "Are you wondering why I have changed so much?" I think you should have learned about my past, too. ”

Inoue nodded in surprise, he didn't expect Tanaka to think of what was in his heart.

Tanaka stood up, could lower his voice, and said: "Once four years ago, I was the same as you, a hot-blooded young man full of fighting spirit, at that time I also thought that the empire was invincible like you, and anyone who hindered the interests of the empire should die, I once wanted to assassinate He Tianci, at that time I thought that a person like him who was an enemy of the empire should die, but for this matter, Major General Aoki was very angry and stopped my behavior, I couldn't understand Aoki-sama's behavior for a while, until three years ago, I ......"

Saying this, Tanaka stopped, choked up, he didn't know how to speak, he remembered the death of the Sato family, after this incident, let him rely more on wisdom to do things, looking at the energetic Inoue in front of him He remembered his youth, he continued: "But now I tell you, as an imperial soldier, you must not only have the spirit of samurai, but also have wisdom, and the Chinese have a saying that they should govern others the way they do." ”

Compared with these words, Inoue cared more about what Tanaka said three years ago, but Tanaka didn't want to say it and he didn't dare to continue to ask, so he could only nod silently and wait for Tanaka to continue.

"As I get older, I feel more and more that Aoki-sama's strategy is correct, and maybe if the military department does not make some radical actions, He Tianci has become the spokesperson of our interests in ASEAN!" Speaking of this, Aoki let out a long sigh and couldn't help but think of the past a few years ago.

"Compared with those bandits and rogues who are wandering around, people like He Tianci are more reputable and influential! It's just ......," Tanaka said here, suddenly hesitating. (To be continued......)
