Chapter 1 Born Out of Thin Air
After receiving the report from Luo Shanshan and Morita, Kamei immediately gave a written explanation to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
Although no direct evidence has been found to prove that Zhang Meng and his men robbed the vault of the Bank of Tsutsubishi, according to various so-called "coincidences", there is no doubt that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has identified the suspect as Zhang Meng.
It's just that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is in a dilemma, if Zhang Meng is still a Chinese ordinary person under the rule of the Nationalist Axe, then the Metropolitan Axe can directly note the Nationalist Axe, forcibly arrest Zhang Meng and his subordinates, and transfer them to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Court for trial, they are fully capable of making Zhang Meng confess and confess.
But Zhang Meng was too cunning, he joined the Tongan nationality, and successfully staged a coup d'Γ©tat to overthrow the Kingdom of Tonga and establish the Tang Empire. Today, Zhang Meng has become the crown prince of the Tang Empire, and he holds all the national defense forces of the Tang Empire. Although the strength of the national defense force of the Tang Empire is completely ignored in the eyes of the political axe, the key to the problem is that the Tang Empire is still a member of the British Commonwealth, and the action against Zhang Meng is not just a civil issue, but has risen to a political problem between countries, which makes it difficult for the political axe.
To this end, Yataro, president of the Mitsubishi Foundation, personally called on Prime Minister Yuyuki Hamaguchi.
Hamaguchi was aware of the theft of the vault at the headquarters of the Bank of Mitsubishi, and this was the sixth time during his tenure that his bank had been robbed and stolen, and the loss of huge sums of money made Hamaguchi saddened.
In particular, after the Tokyo earthquake was tightened, after Yuyuki Hamaguchi was officially appointed prime minister last year (the Tanaka cabinet was resigned by Yuyuki Hamaguchi acting prime minister due to the Huanggutun incident), he actively followed the example of Western European and American countries to restore the gold standard and fiscal austerity policy, which was carried out under the tremendous pressure of opposition from the major domestic chaebols and the military, and the vault of the Bank of Mitsubishi was stolen and hundreds of tons of gold were lost (Yataro did not dare to tell the truth), which was a big shock to the financial company that had just lifted the ban on gold. To add insult to injury, the U.S. economic crisis broke out, which directly hit the capital.
From 1929 to 1931, exports fell by 76.5 percent and imports by 71.7 percent. A large number of banks and industrial and commercial enterprises went bankrupt and collapsed, the operating rate of the main industrial sectors was only 50 percent, and the total industrial output value fell by 32.9 percent, of which coal fell by 36.7 percent, pig iron by 30.5 percent, steel by 47.2 percent, ships by 88.2 percent, and cotton textiles by 30.7 percent. The total value of agricultural output also fell by 40 percent, the price of raw silk plummeted, and sericulture farmers, who accounted for 40 percent of the total number of farmers, were dealt a fatal blow.
In order to extricate themselves from the crisis, the military planned to follow the path of militaristic expansion to distract the people, but this move was opposed by the Yuyuki Hamaguchi cabinet, resulting in the escalation of fierce antagonism between the military and the government in the country.
Under these circumstances, Hamaguchi Yukiki was in dire need of gold to maintain financial and political stability, and he naturally set his sights on the hundreds of tons of gold and thousands of tons of silver lost by the Bank of Tsutsubishi.
However, Hamaguchi Yuyuki deliberately used Yataro on the grounds that it was inconvenient for him to have political dialogue with the Tang Empire, a member of the British Commonwealth, and that prosecuting the crown prince of the Tang Empire would lead to political confrontation between the two countries.
The Mitsubishi Consortium in Yataro's hands is almost on the verge of bankruptcy because of the theft of gold from its headquarters, and the other seven old chaebols Mitsui, Sumitomo, Yasuda, Okura, Asano, Kawasaki, and Furukawa, as well as the five new chaebols Yossan, Naki, So, Sen, and Riken, are all eyeing the Mitsubishi Consortium, and there is a danger of being annexed every day.
Seeing that Yuyuki Hamaguchi deliberately did not let go, Yataro had no choice but to endure the pain and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, if you are willing to help recover the gold and silver stolen from the Bank of Tsutsubishi, as a thank you, you will personally receive 50 million yuan in return." In addition, the Mitsubishi Consortium will fully support your gold standard recovery plan, and all gold reserves will be used by the Bank. β
If this is what he wanted, Hamaguchi Yuyuki suddenly smiled and said, "We are all old friends, although there are some difficulties, but I will do my best to help you!" β
Hamaguchi Yuki obtained Yataro's promise, and only then did he pay attention to the theft of the Sitsubishi vault, and ordered Foreign Minister Kishigero Bihara and Minister of Military Command Kato to send a note to the British ambassador to Yue, accusing Zhang Meng, the crown prince of the Tang Empire, of being the mastermind behind the theft of the Bank of Tsubishi, without conclusive evidence, and demanding that the British hand over Zhang Meng and his accomplices to be interrogated by the Metropolitan Police Department.
said that he was so strong that he didn't take the Tang Empire in his eyes at all, and directly followed the British political leaders, which immediately alarmed Downing Street.
Although the British don't take the Tang Empire seriously, after all, they are a member of the British Commonwealth, so they handed over the crown prince of the Tang Empire without real evidence by virtue of their own words, which is really bullying, and the British themselves are not allowed to do that.
In particular, the new British Prime Minister Macdonald had a close personal relationship with Zhang Meng, and he immediately ordered the British Foreign Office to directly reject this unreasonable demand. But he understood that Ben Zhengaxe would not give up, so he personally called Zhang Meng to inform him to be extra careful.
Zhang Meng didn't expect that he would be able to make MacDonald, a friend of the British Prime Minister, for spending money, although he knew in his heart that this was just a friend of interests, and MacDonald personally called him to care for another purpose.
MacDonald, of course, had a purpose. He has now obtained a large amount of information about the Tang Empire through the Mi3 Intelligence Bureau, and is surprised by the rapid rise of the Tang Empire, and is also curious about the huge source of funds in Zhang Meng's hands. He even learned from the major shareholders of the Bank of England that Zhang Meng had a huge amount of money in his hands, and whether Zhang Meng was a robber of the Bank of Four Tsubishi or not, MacDonald was only interested in the money in his hands, which for politicians, he obviously smelled like Hamaguchi Yuyuki.
Zhang Meng owes MacDonald a great favor, and he knows that this favor will have to be repaid sooner or later. He also knew that he would not give up, so Zhang Meng had to make two preparations, on the one hand, he continued to shelter under the British Commonwealth, and on the other hand, he was also worried that his dog would jump over the wall and bite him.
Zhang Meng knows the devils too well, the dog will bite when he bites, and he likes to engage in sneak attacks, which will be difficult to guard.
In the Daxing Palace, Zhang Xinhai called Zhang Meng and Zhang Wei over. Zhang Meng knew that he couldn't hide it from the old man, so the surname Suo admitted that he did it.
If it were normal times, Mr. Zhang would immediately serve with a feather duster and beat Zhang Meng violently. But when he learned that Zhang Meng only robbed the bank of the devil, Mr. Zhang was very happy, and he exaggerated Meng's appearance.
"They won't deal with you like they blew up Zhang Zuolin!"
Zhang Wei's words suddenly made Zhang Xinhai and Zhang's mother nervous, especially Zhang's mother was worried that her son was anxious.
Zhang Meng hurriedly comforted the second elder, saying that security had been strengthened and that they should not worry.
But Zhang Meng knew very well in his heart that he had already determined that he was the mastermind behind a series of robberies of the bank, and no matter how he defended himself, it was futile, and he would never give up.
With this time the MacDonald cabinet was given back, but judging from the military strength of the British and the two countries in the Pacific region, Britain is out of disadvantage, and the powerful military may not buy the British's account.
In particular, this Hamaguchi Yuyuki has been assassinated by the military once last year, even if he does not dare to clash head-on with the British, it does not mean that the military is hiding from him to make small moves behind his back, so Zhang Meng has to be on guard.
When answering how Zhang Xinhai should deal with his possible actions, Zhang Meng decisively spit out four words.
Intensify combat readiness!
