Chapter 1979 Paper Wrapped Fire

After ascending to the throne of the supreme commander of the army, for a period of time, Hideki Tojo's official residence in Suka-cho, Yotsuya-ku, Tokyo, was visited by dignitaries from the military and political circles, and former elementary school, middle school, Lu Shi, Lu University's classmates, and former bosses and subordinates in the army came to the door one after another to "contact and affection", and valuable gifts were piled up all over the room, and Tojo Hideki fully felt the pleasure brought by power.

During this period, Hideki Tojo was ordered by Hirohito to intensively form the second batch of troops to rush to the Chinese battlefield, and only when the news of the victory of the Yingkou landing operation came, the four newly formed divisions would set off for Manchuria, recreating the glorious scene of the past.

In addition to this, Hideki Tojo is also grasping one thing -- urging the Tokyo counterintelligence department to arrest the intelligence agents of the allied countries hiding in the Japanese archipelago.

After Hideki Tojo became chief of staff, the first thing he did was to appoint his subordinate Osaka Naoji Daisa, who was under the military police headquarters of the Kwantung Army, as the director of the Tokyo counterintelligence bureau and promoted him to the rank of major general.

Since the 77 Incident in 37 years, the Tokyo counterintelligence organs have been unable to solve the mystery of the secret wireless telegraph sent by Japan, and a large number of unpredictable telegrams have accumulated in the archives of the Japanese military police.

The timing of the transmission of such secret radio waves is not fixed, it is difficult to capture, sometimes in the middle of the night, sometimes even during the day, groups of mysterious radio waves fly into space. It is very obvious that some secret reports were sent from the Japanese archipelago, and both the Counterintelligence Bureau and the Gendarmerie were at a loss and doing nothing.

Known as a "doer", Hideki Tojo, in order to make a political achievement for himself and show the incompetence of his predecessor Ishihara Waner, he treated this job as his first shot.

However, after several days, there was still nothing.

On the afternoon of 16 July, Hideki Tojo, who could no longer bear it, rushed to the Tokyo Counterespionage Bureau with several of his henchmen who had been newly subjugated at the General Staff Headquarters, and summoned Major General Osaka, director of the bureau, Major General Yuji Shikata, commander of the Tokyo Military Police, and Toshijiro Otani, captain of the military police, Nakasa, and others.

After spending more than an hour inquiring about the progress of solving the case, Hideki Tojo said unceremoniously: "Gentlemen, this kind of telegram threatens the fate of the Great Japanese Empire, after Ishihara was incompetent and let the enemy hide in our heart for several years without doing anything. As the new chief of staff, I will absolutely not allow this situation to continue, and you must solve this case as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame the ruthless military law! ”

The words of the chief of the new za made Osaka and others mourn. In the past few days, they have tried in vain to send people to disseminate false information and watch out where it will appear, and to monitor signals with the latest equipment donated by Germany. Seeing that Hideki Tojo's attitude was so resolute, Osaka and the others were full of slander in their hearts, even Ishihara Waner, who was known as the think tank of the empire, could not solve a case that could not be solved for several years, where was it so easy to detect?

Sadaichi Suzuki, the Minister of State and President of the Planning Institute, who had hooked up with Hideki Tojo during his time in Australia, happened to be in Tokyo to organize immigration to Australia and the Americas and the relocation of key factories and enterprises. In order to show his closeness to the ruling leader, Hideki Tojo invited him to come to the Tokyo Counterintelligence Bureau to refer to it on his behalf.

Suzuki Sadachi didn't want the relationship between Hideki Tojo and his subordinates to be stiff, so he said:

"I suspect that these telegrams are all top-secret information sent to South China...... I don't know if you have noticed, when we were fighting the South China army, there were always strong radio wave interference, which caused our radio contact to be interrupted, while our opponents were still able to communicate freely, which proved that the radio level of the South China army was far above ours!

"Although the base camp has repeatedly asked the fleet to be silent by radio during the march to prevent the enemy from discovering our strategic intentions, the fleet should arrive at the predetermined sea area at least in the early hours of yesterday morning and then launch an attack on Yingkou Port, and they should resume radio contact with us as soon as possible......

"However, so far, we have not received any telegram from the fleet, and we have no knowledge of the progress of the war, although the commander-in-chief sent a reconnaissance plane with a range of up to 4,000 kilometers to go deep into the Bohai Sea to find out the truth, but all the reconnaissance planes have not returned, and not a single radio wave has been sent back.

"Based on all of the above, I don't think we should put too much pressure on the spy agencies, after all, it takes more patience to fight the enemy in our backward field."

Suzuki Sadachi's words made Tojo Hideki's heart more and more worried, in fact, he also knew that the top priority now should be to pay full attention to the war in the Bohai Sea and make all the response plans, but now the third aircraft carrier task force is like a kite with a broken string, there is no news, he can only try to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, pretend to be a bamboo in his chest, and find something else to do, so as to draw the attention of the people around him and the emperor, cabinet and important ministers in Australia to other places.

Hideki Tojo nodded to Sadachi Suzuki, and then a knife face was stacked with a smile, and he said to his subordinates:

Suzuki-kun's analysis makes sense, but counterintelligence work is not only about deciphering ciphercodes, but also about observing everyday affairs. For example, there are so many people in our staff headquarters, many of whom have access to the core secrets of the empire, and a complete supervision system should be established for them, and efforts should be made to find clues from them.

"You must know that the enemy's purpose is to obtain intelligence, and the degree of attention to any major decision is far greater than that of others, through side knocks, slowly determine the object of suspicion, and then screen them one by one, there will always be a harvest, I did this at the beginning of the Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters, the effect is very good, the intelligence personnel of Soviet Russia, Europe and the United States and China are almost extinct, I think as long as we do it seriously, there will be discoveries!"

Miss Mika Reiko, Tojo Hideki's beautiful female secretary and also his lover, was taken aback when she heard this: "Almost all of the people who can enter the staff headquarters are the elites of the imperial ** team, and their personnel files have been screened and screened almost countless times, could it be that there will be traitors among them?" Your Excellency, will the surveillance of such soldiers attract criticism and backlash? ”

Hideki Tojo saw that Major General Hanaya Masa, chief of operations of the General Staff Headquarters, and Major General Etsujiro Kino, director of intelligence, who had followed him to the Counterintelligence Bureau, had a very bad face, and immediately knew that they had committed public anger, and that their future work would not be able to do without the support of these people, so he immediately played a round:

"I'm just making an analogy, of course, the personnel of the General Staff Headquarters don't need to be monitored, but other departments that can obtain secrets must not let ...... go"

Before Hideki Tojo's voice fell, Aota Shaosa, who was in charge of monitoring broadcasts in China and South China by the Tokyo Counterespionage Bureau, walked into the conference room in a panic:

"Your Excellency, I think it's very important for you to listen to the latest broadcasts...... It is the news about our third aircraft carrier task force, and the radio stations of Nanjing, Syria and Xinjing are broadcasting non-stop! ”

Hideki Tojo's face changed drastically, and Hirohito personally confessed, and he patted his chest and promised to successfully complete the combat mission of counterattacking the East Asian continent, which has always been the sword of Damocles hanging over his head.

Almost without any hesitation, Hideki Tojo immediately followed Aota Shaoza to the listening room, and the radio was repeating the news of the annihilation of the enemy by the Anjia army in the Bohai Sea.

As the landlord, Major General Osaka Naoji was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to help Hideki Tojo, and comforted him repeatedly: "Maybe this is the propaganda of the people of Shina to deceive themselves, the Shina government has always done everything in order to boost morale, Your Excellency must not be deceived!" ”

Hideki Tojo seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, his spirits perked up, and he said in a loud voice: "That's right, this must be the shameless propaganda of the Shina people!" With the strength of the third aircraft carrier task force, even if it cannot defeat the opponent, it can calmly retreat, and it is absolutely impossible to annihilate the whole army...... It must be like this! ”

Nagabanaya looked at each other with Etsujiro Kino and other generals who had previously worked under Ishihara Wanji, and quickly made a judgment in his heart:

It is impossible for the An Jiajun to lie on this issue that is very easy to debunk, and Ishihara has already made a judgment that the Imperial ** team, which has lost land support, will not be able to break through the defense of the opponent's superior air force to complete the landing, and failure is doomed.

However, they never thought that the emperor ** team would lose so badly.

Etsujiro Kino thought about it and stepped forward to suggest:

"Your Excellency, I think we should immediately return to the General Staff Headquarters, for it is impossible for our intelligence officers lurking in the central government and local armies in China to be unheard of in such a momentary situation...... Regardless of whether this news is true or not, the war in the Bohai Sea is definitely over, and we need to face it squarely and deal with it in time! ”

Although Hideki Tojo is very reluctant to face this problem head-on, he also knows that pouting his ass and pretending to be an ostrich will only make things worse, and the most important thing at the moment is to understand the truth, and then make targeted responses to give an explanation to the emperor and important ministers, otherwise he will not be able to do it as a commander-in-chief.

Half an hour later, the group returned to the General Staff Headquarters, and the news of the collapse of the Japanese fleet had been confirmed by the four major spy agencies of the "Meilan Zhuju" in China, and the secret telegram said that the photos of the capsizing and sinking of the Japanese ships on the other side of the number published by major newspapers and periodicals abounded, and the Bohai Sea was full of floating corpses of Japanese sailors, and in Yingkou, the beach was full of tens of thousands of stumps and broken arms, which made people have nightmares when they saw it.

At this time, Hideki Tojo had completely calmed down, he knew such a big news, it was impossible to hide it from the emperor, so he immediately called Hirohito, sincerely reviewed his mistakes, said that he could not judge the situation clearly, which led to such a big failure, and asked Hirohito to remove him from the post of chief of staff.

Hideki Tojo knew very well in his heart that the entire strategy of counterattacking the mainland was actually formulated by Hirohito and the important ministers, and he was just acting on orders, as long as he lowered his posture and took the initiative to carry it for the emperor and the important ministers, things may not necessarily be able to take a turn for the better.

In the military and among the people, Hideki Tojo ordered all news of defeat to be blocked, and used successive victories in the Americas to cover everything.

I don't know how the Australian side met to discuss, but the next morning, Hirohito's edict to pardon Tojo's guilt was transmitted to the General Staff Headquarters, so that Tojo Hideki, who had not slept all night, finally put down the big stone hanging in his heart.

The edict arrived at the same time as Hitler's secret telegram to Emperor Hirohito: the Germans demanded that the Japanese air forces launch an air raid in East Asia to divert the attention of the South Chinese army, preferably within the next week.

Hideki Tojo, who was the emperor's loyal dog, felt that things were difficult, but he still decided to take on this difficult task for the sake of his own future.

At noon on 17 November, Hideki Tojo, on behalf of the Japanese army base camp, announced in a high-profile manner:

In view of the fact that Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and other countries on the west coast of South America have successively announced their participation in the "Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere," Japan has finally "secured its imperial prestige in the Pacific," and "the final victory of this war is a foregone conclusion."

In celebration of victory, the jubilant citizens of Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagasaki, and other places held a grand parade of colored flags and lanterns.
