The wheel of history is rolling forward, and a new annual ring is quietly coming. The Manchurian-Mongolian strategy of the Japanese Empire was successfully implemented, although there were still anti-Japanese elements resisting in the three eastern provinces, but it had nothing to do with the overall situation, the position of the Japanese Empire in the three eastern provinces had been consolidated, and the next step was to use the three eastern provinces as a springboard to penetrate into the interior of the Central Plains, using both military and political means, the purpose of which was to promote the autonomy of North China in the next step and further encroach on Chinese mainland. At present, the two major factions in Japan, the military and the government, are not in agreement. Civilian officials are mostly opposed to the use of military means to achieve their goals, while the military believes that only the threat of force, toughness, or even military offensive can achieve its goals.

Japanese politics underwent a metamorphosis and was gradually controlled by fanatical military politicians, and in view of the growing power of the empire, conquest by force became increasingly the main theme. However, Japan is an island nation, and its maritime strategy has long been a priority. Building a strong navy is the core of Japan, so the limited funds are focused on naval construction, so the development of the Japanese army has been slow due to the shortage of funds, and for this reason, the Japanese navy and the army are full of contradictions, which in turn affects the effective implementation of Japan's mainland strategy. In addition, Japan's small size and poor strategic resources limited the ability of the Japanese army to wage large-scale land warfare.

The three eastern provinces were at their fingertips, which in turn fueled the ambitions of the Japanese Army. In particular, the acquisition of fertile land in the three eastern provinces provided a guarantee for the Japanese army's land warfare, which further aroused the arrogant ambitions of the Japanese army. After analyzing the base camp of the Japanese army, first, Japan's current war preparations cannot meet the needs of a full-scale campaign, and domestic resources are insufficient to support a large-scale war. Second, China is a huge country, and if it launches a full-scale military attack, it must defeat China in a short period of time, and if the war drags on, it will be difficult for Japan's economy to support it. In the face of such a situation, the Japanese Government, on the one hand, is operating the northeast, and on the other hand, it has successively allocated funds to strengthen the army's armament in preparation for launching a full-scale war of aggression against China.

In addition, in order to cooperate with the all-out war of aggression against China, the Japanese government formulated a package of plans in terms of economic penetration and political intervention. Just as the Japanese Government was smoothly implementing the plan, it did not expect that the Communist Party would actually gain a foothold in Jiangxi and Fujian and form a strong trend with the Nationalist Government. The most frightening thing is that the Communist Party proposes that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperate with the outside world, and this is the situation that the Japanese Government does not want to see the most. In response to this, in order to prevent the peace talks from muddying the waters, the Japanese government then formulated the "Sakura Operation" plan from the base camp of the Japanese army, with the aim of cooperating with Japan's overall strategic deployment and allowing China to continue to fall into chaos.

Shanghai in Layue seems to be peaceful and quiet. The "Songhu Armistice Agreement" signed between the Nationalist Government and the Japanese Government allowed Japan to obtain the greatest benefits in Songhu, and at present, the Nationalist Army did not garrison a single soldier in Shanghai, and it was almost an undefended city, so the Japanese army's Songhu strategy was also put on the agenda. The Japanese army's base camp set up the Mei organ in Shanghai, which was also part of the Songhu strategy. The "Sakura Operation" drawn up by Kenji Dohihara, the intelligence chief of the Japanese Army Headquarters, was divided into two parts: the first was an assassination plan, which produced immediate results, and the second was an infiltration plan. On the one hand, it was to cooperate with the effective implementation of the assassination plan, and on the other hand, it was to systematically infiltrate Jiangxi, where the Communist Party was entrenched.

Since the Communists took control of Jiangxi and Fujian, Japanese trading companies in major cities in Jiangxi and Fujian have been closely monitored. Japan's intelligence headquarters believes that it is not feasible to use the usual tactics of using commercial cover to engage in intelligence activities, especially in areas controlled by the Communist Party. For this reason, Japan successively withdrew the Japanese trading companies in Jiangxi and Fujian, and then concealed and secretly dispatched personnel, which became the core task of the Japanese military intelligence headquarters. In order to effectively implement the dispatch plan, the Intelligence Headquarters sent a mysterious woman who will be the deputy director of the Mei agency and be in charge of the dispatch plan.

On that day, in an office next to Kazuo Watanabe, the head of the plum office of the Japanese Yamato Trading House in the French Concession, a slender and handsome man in a top hat and a female entourage walked into the office. The handsome-looking man took off his politeness, revealing his short hair, which turned out to be a woman disguised as a man. The woman's face is fair, and her eyes are particularly charming and seductive. The woman takes off her overcoat, revealing a white blouse and a black waistcoat over it. A gold bracelet is visible in the left upper pocket of the vest. The woman is a man's dress, which indicates that the woman does not let the eyebrows be shaved.

"Miss Yoshiko, what else do you command?" Looking at the woman sitting on the sofa, the female subordinate asked cautiously. "The journey is tired, you go down and rest!" The woman known as Yoshiko has her eyes closed and her face expressionless. The woman is a high-ranking agent of the Japanese Intelligence Headquarters, whose name is Yoshiko Kawashima. Yoshiko Kawashima is not Japanese, and her real identity is Manchurian called Xianyu, Ai Xinjue Luo. Manchuria inlaid with white flags. She was born in 1906 into the Manchu royal family and was the daughter of Shanqi, the 10th Prince of Su. Previously, Shanqi had 13 daughters, Xianyu ranked 14th, and Shanqi named her "Dongzhen", which means the treasure of the East.

After the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in 1912, Shanqi (qi) tried to help his homeland to win over Japanese forces, and gave the young Xianyu as a basis of friendship to the Japanese ronin Kawashima Naniwa as an adopted daughter, when Xianyu was only 6 years old. After that, Shanqi and Kawashima Naniwa became brothers and jointly planned the "Manchurian-Mongolian Independence Movement", although it ultimately failed, but the ideas held by the movement became the prototype of Japan's later establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo. At the same time, it created the necessary conditions for the rapid formation of Manchukuo in the northeast, and it can be said that Shanqi played a key role in the formation of the puppet Manchukuo.

After 6-year-old Xianyu was adopted by Kawashima Naniwa, he was named Kawashima Fangzi. In order to train her allegiance to the Japanese Empire, Kawashima Naniwa sent her to Matsumoto High School for Girls, where she received a militaristic education. At the same time, Kawashima Naniwa deliberately cultivated her in politics, military, and intelligence, and when she grew up, Kawashima Yoshiko was completely Japanese in terms of speech and behavior, and she was born beautiful, delicate, and slim. When Xianyu grew up, because of her beautiful appearance, her adoptive father, Kawashima Nani, who had reached the age of sixtieth, suddenly had evil thoughts and wanted to take her as a concubine. He brazenly said to Xianyu's brother: Your father, Prince Su, is a benevolent man, and I am a brave man. I think that if the blood of the benevolent and the brave is fused together, the child born will inevitably be both benevolent and brave.

Kawashima Naniwa was rejected by Hyunyu and then raped her, when Hyunyu was only 17 years old. The bestiality of his adoptive father made Xianyu extremely sad and angry, and wrote in the diary of the day: On October 6, Taisho 13, I liquidated women forever! The next day, she combed her hair with Japanese-style sideburns, wore a kimono with flowers on the bottom, and took a farewell photo of a girl. Then Kawashima Yoshiko's behavior began to imitate masculinity, she was full of gray and depressed when she was a teenager, and her extreme militaristic ideas and rape by her adoptive father changed her personality.

The royal princess, who was supposed to be bright-eyed and jade-skinned, became perverse and dissolute, and even often sneaked out of the classroom for some reason during class, and gradually formed a somewhat deformed and debauched character. Since then, Yoshiko Kawashima has often dressed as a man, mingled in various social situations, and was obsessed with various male sports, such as horseback riding, fencing, shooting, etc., believing that doing so would forever liberate women. Because of her physical and mental persecution, she once committed suicide. Later, Kawashima Fangzi got rid of Kawashima Naniwa control and returned to China, taking the Chinese name Jin Bihui. After returning to China, Yoshiko Kawashima followed the instructions of his father, the Manchurian and Mongolian joint Kuang Fu Qing court, and married the Mongolian royal family in Lushun.

In just three years, Yoshiko Kawashima, who had an unruly personality, chose to defect and instead approached the Kwantung Army. At this time, during the period when the Japanese Empire implemented the Manchurian and Mongolian strategy, Kawashima Fangzi was trained by the Japanese intelligence department to become an excellent agent because of her proficiency in Chinese and Japanese Chinese, began Kawashima Yoshiko's treason, and became a rare backbone member of the intelligence system of the Japanese Kwantung Army. In the Huanggutun incident, Yoshiko Kawashima overcame difficulties, successfully blew up Zhang Zuolin, stirred up trouble in Shanghai, and instigated the 128 Incident. Successfully smuggled Empress Wanrong to Dalian to assist in the establishment of the puppet Manchukuo. Yoshiko Kawashima was praised by the Japanese Army Intelligence Headquarters as "able to resist an armored division"!

In view of Kawashima Fangzi's outstanding performance, the "Sakura Operation" formulated by the Japanese Army Intelligence Headquarters was of great importance, so Kawashima Yoshiko was appointed as the deputy head of the Mei Agency, and the dispatch of the Mei Agency was given full command of Kawashima Yoshiko, and at the same time assisted Watanabe Kazuo in carrying out the assassination plan. At this time, in the office of the next office director, Kazuo Watanabe was in a little unhappy, and the newly appointed cold female deputy didn't seem to take herself seriously when they met. The Japanese philosophy is that there is respect between the upper and lower levels, and the subordinates are absolutely obedient to the superiors, and there is no mistake in the slightest. But this new female deputy has a great background, and she will never dare to offend the winner, and Watanabe Kazuo has a clear heart.

Depressed to depressed, for this unruly female deputy, Watanabe Kazuo thought about it and decided that it was necessary to have a good relationship with her, which was very important to complete "Operation Sakura", and the interests of the empire were above all else. Yoshiko Kawashima is in charge of the dispatch plan for all women, and Kazuo Watanabe has no right to know, but he must have the cooperation of Miss Yoshiko. After combing his unhappy mood, Kazuo Watanabe stood up and walked out of the room, and saw Yoshiko's female subordinate standing outside the door and said, "Please inform, I want to invite Yoshiko to dinner!" After a while, the female subordinate came out and said politely: "Chief, Miss Fangzi said that she is tired and doesn't want to be disturbed." “

Miss Yoshiko didn't buy it after touching the soft nail, and Kazuo Watanabe had to leave in a huff. Inside the house, Kawashima Fangzi was looking at a photo in his hand, and the person in the photo was Ouyang Jian. The second important target of the "Sakura Operation" plan was Ouyang Jian, the No. 5 figure of the Communist Party, and Yoshiko Kawashima's mission was to obtain intelligence on a large-scale infiltration of Jiangxi. In addition, the headquarters asked her to accurately grasp Ouyang Jian's whereabouts and cooperate with the assassination operation. For this legend of the Communist Party, Yoshiko has been studying it for a long time, so she has a well-thought-out plan. At present, Kazuo Watanabe is carrying out an assassination operation against the Nanjing No. 2 target, this target is not within the scope of Yoshiko, her main task is to infiltrate, provide all the information about the legendary Communist Party figure Ouyang Jian, the Japanese intelligence headquarters believes that Ouyang Jian is too terrible to get rid of.

While Kawashima Fangzi was studying Ouyang Jian, a subordinate was reporting in Dai Li's office at the headquarters of the Nanjing Military Investigation Bureau: "Bureau, at present, we have adopted protective measures for important people. After analysis, it was preliminarily concluded that the purpose of the "Operation Sakura" plan formulated by the Japanese Intelligence Headquarters was to cause chaos within us and aggravate our internal divisions. However, we still do not know anything about the specific goals of Operation Sakura, and it is estimated that the Japanese Intelligence Headquarters has already begun to carry out the assassination operation. Dai Li took off his eyes and wiped them carefully, feeling very depressed. If there was an accident at this time, he would not be able to explain it to the principal.

At present, all parties are calling for Lao Jiang to go out of the mountain again to control the overall situation, and everything is carried out in an orderly manner according to Lao Jiang's plan. "Order MI2 to be sure to figure out the specific content of Operation Sakura. I judged that his command organ must be in Shanghai, and informed the Shanghai intelligence station to go all out to find out the location of the Japanese intelligence agency, and I wanted to know the specific person in charge and get the full content of the Sakura operation! However, Dai Li did not expect that the killer Shinobu Kujing had already come to Nanjing.
