On the evening of 2 May, Hu Enpu, director of Tianjin's "Guoquan Bao," sponsored by the military's secret services, was stabbed to death in Tianjin's Yueben Concession.

Immediately afterward, in the early morning of the next day, Bai Yuhuan, director of Tianjin's "Zhenbao" and a reporter for the Manchukuo Central News Agency, who had a relationship with Yueben, was also assassinated in the concession.

When he got the news, Chairman Chiang was afraid.

As soon as the Sun Yuqin incident was pacified, there was another incident, which was too unsmooth, but fortunately, he didn't hold on to this matter, and it seems that goodwill is the trend of the times.

However, unexpectedly, on May 9, the situation changed abruptly, and Takahashi Taiye, chief of staff of the North China Garrison Army, released a statement, saying that the death of the two was the work of the Kuomintang Blue Coat Society.

After receiving the report, Chairman Jiang's heart immediately pinched.

-- Tokyo, General Staff Headquarters.

Sitting behind his desk, Sugi Sanyuan, the deputy chief of the staff headquarters, stared at the secret telegram in front of him, frowning and thinking.

The secret telegram was sent by Takahashi Taino, chief of staff of the North China Garrison Army.

Takahashi Taino claimed in a secret telegram that because the Shina authorities shielded Sun Yuqin and assassinated his friend, the Shina authorities must make compensation.

There are two conditions for compensation, one is to withdraw two people, Yu Xuezhong, chairman of Hebei Province, and Jiang Xiaoxian, head of the Nanjing Political Axe Military Police Corps in Beiping; The second is to abolish two units, the Peiping Fuxing Society and the Political Training Office of the Peiping Military Branch.

The Fuxing Society and the Political Training Office of the Beiping Military Branch are both peripheral organizations of the Blue Coat Society.

Every day, they sent 14 detachments to military schools and public places to tell everyone that they wanted to unify the war of resistance, otherwise they would have to be defeated by themselves.

The task of the Political Training Office is to pull relations, and they patted Song Zheyuan today, saying that your big sword captain was really handsome during the Anti-Japanese War; Tomorrow will blow the Northeast Army, saying that Zhang Xueliang and Lao Jiang are brothers and sisters, and they are leaders side by side.

In short, the job of these two units is to make sure that these giants do not oppose it.

Sugiyama Yuan is called a fool Yuan, and he is confused all day long, and he has no principle in doing things. He was able to squeeze the position of second chief because of the infighting between the Imperial Daoist faction and the ruling faction. These people fought back and forth, and the clever ones stood aside and brought him up as a fool.

Although Shansanyuan is called a fool yuan, in fact, who is stupid? Whether it's good or bad for himself, Sugi Sanyuan is not stupid at all.

In officialdom, the magic weapon of all trials is not to stick to the leaves, and not to make decisions if you can. On this basis, as long as you do a good job in interpersonal relationships, everything will naturally go smoothly.

Shansanyuan is a firm believer in this magic weapon.

However, the so-called deputy chief is the general manager, who is responsible for handling the regular work, and he must give an answer to Takahashi's secret telegram.

How to reply?

Obviously, there is no evidence at all for Takahashi's accusation of Shina political axe, and the only evidence is that it is unfounded.

pondering, pondering, Shansanyuan felt that this matter was still unreliable.

-- After receiving a reply from the General Staff Headquarters, Takahashi Taino was overjoyed.

In the reply telegram from the General Staff Headquarters, he was vague and allowed to mention this "proposal" to the political axe of China.

Literally, since it's a suggestion, then people can just like to listen to it or not, but Takahashi doesn't care about this, he just needs Sugiyama Moto's attitude.

Whether it's a suggestion or a threat, it's all up to me anyway, as long as someone covers it, and the most important thing is that with Sugiyama Moto's reply, if Nakamura Kotaro asks when he comes back, he will have an explanation.

After receiving a reply from the General Staff Headquarters, Takahashi Taino immediately found Ben Shanhai, and the two began to talk in secret again.

Sitting down and discussing, these two devils who wanted to climb up were a little scratching their heads, they both knew very well that they wanted to deal with the authorities in China not by diplomatic skills, but by pure threat of force, but now, what they lacked was the confidence in this regard.

After the fiasco in Baoding, the North China garrison army was greatly reduced, and now the Pingjin and Tianjin together are only the strength of two brigades, while in the Pingjin generation, the Chinese army has no less than 60,000 people in the Central Army, the Northeast Army, and the Jin Sui Army.

How to threaten?

There was no way, in the end, the discussion came, the two devils decided to ask for support from the Kwantung Army.

-- After receiving a secret telegram from Takahashi Taino, General Minamijiro, commander of the Kwantung Army, read it and threw it into the paper basket.

Minamijiro is an old gangster, and in the officialdom, Minamijiro played the word "mixed" to the point of reaching its peak.

The so-called "mixed" word is similar to Shansanyuan's "leaves do not stick to the body", they are all not responsible, so naturally they can't offend people.

If this word "mixed" is said to be four words, it is "rare to be confused".

Because of his good mixing, all the influential figures who debuted with him have retired, and he is the only one who is still proud of the officialdom, holding great power and respecting his status.

This matter, as soon as he took a look, Nanjiro knew what kind of this kid Takahashi wanted to, to put it bluntly, it was a lie.

Falsely supporting that person, this is naturally not bad, but the credit is for the North China garrison army, and it is Kotaro Nakamura, but if it doesn't work out and there is trouble, then he will not be able to escape the involvement.

The reason why he is so successful is that he strictly adheres to the principle that more is better than less, and that it is not his business to do it.

Therefore, this thing can't be done, and it won't be touched at all.

-- The Kwantung Army, not to mention sending troops, didn't even send a representative, and simply ignored his little **.

Getting such a reply, Takahashi Taino and Motoyamakai were a little dumbfounded.

What to do?

Abandon? Don't give up!

Not to mention how rare this opportunity is, but once they give up, when Nakamura Kotaro finds out what they have done, then they will be completely finished, and they will never think about jumping again.

Two devils, you look at me, I look at you, suddenly, Takahashi Taino's eyes lit up.

-- May is the best weather in the north, neither hot nor cold, very pleasant.

In Juren Hall, He Yingqin was handling official business.

After the Black God Army completely destroyed the prestige of the little devil, He Yingqin's words were much better. Moreover, Huang Yin is also gone, and in the whole of North China, he is now in power.

I was signing my official business, and at this time, I heard someone outside the courtyard arguing.

When He Yingqin heard this, he sighed in his heart, it was him.

"What's going on?"

As soon as He Yingqin asked, the adjutant came in and said, "Chairman, there are two people who say that they are going to break in without saying anything. ”

For himself, He Yingqin never dared to be sloppy at all, and he hurriedly walked out of the office.

At this time, Takahashi Taiye and Ben Shanhai walked into the courtyard and arrived in front of He Yingqin.

The two devils were later, and they were in Tianjin, and they didn't meet He Yingqin, so they didn't know each other.

Standing in front of He Yingqin, Takahashi Taiye looked He Yingqin up and down a few times, and asked, "You are He Sang?" ”

Seeing himself, He Yingqin had a headache, he responded for the rest of his life, and said, "Ah, I am." ”

"You're looking for you!"

Takahashi Taino reported to his family, saying that he was Takahashi Taiye, chief of staff of the North China Garrison Army, and that Ben Shanhai was the representative of the Kwantung Army, and then, Takahashi Taino said: "On behalf of the Great Empire, we are here to negotiate with you for the Sun Yuqin incident and the assassination of Hu Bai. Sun Yuqin was rescued by the Zhina authorities, and Hu Bai's two friends were also assassinated by you, and the Zhina authorities must give an explanation to the Great Yueben Empire for this extremely unfriendly behavior! ”

He Yingqin is also a very powerful person, but for some reason, as long as he meets Yue himself, his brain reaction has to be a few beats slower, he followed Takahashi Taiye's words and asked, "What explanation?" ”

When Takahashi Taiye heard this, he was happy, He Yingqin admitted it, so he became more and more arrogant, he said: "In the Sun Yuqin incident, Zunhua County tolerated Sun Yuqin's bandits, and Yu Xuezhong, chairman of Hebei Province, should be responsible for this and must step down." Hu Bai's assassination was committed by the Blue Coat Society, and the Fuxing Society and the Political Training Office of the Military Branch both belong to the Blue Coat Society, so they must be abolished. ”

At this time, He Yingqin reacted, and he asked, "What evidence do you have for saying that?" ”

There is a fart evidence, Takahashi Taino said: "The imperial army cleaned up the corpses of the bandits and found a letter of appointment, which was signed by Chiang Kai-shek and you He Sang!" ”

I signed? How did I not know? He Yingqin said: "What about the power of attorney? ”

Takahashi Taino is running the train with his mouth full, he doesn't know what he said, this guy has a stalk on his neck, and said, "I didn't bring it." ”

He Yingqin's temper has always been very good, and it is better to face him, just like this, he was not angry, and continued to ask: "What about the Hu Bai case?" What evidence is there in the Hu Bai case? ”

"Evidence?" With a cruel laugh, Takahashi Taino said: "The Blue Coat Society is propaganda and resistance, and it is a spy organization, if these people didn't do it, who would it be?" Evidence, no need, debate, that's a waste of time. Anyway, in a word, it's the bad thing you instigated the Blue Coat Society to do. This is an unshakable and irrefutable fact! ”

These are the two bastards, He Yingqin was sweating profusely, in order to ease the atmosphere, he ordered someone to serve tea and snacks, and the imperial army said that he was thirsty.

The refreshments were brought up and placed on the table, He Yingqin stretched out his hand, but before he could take his hand back, Takahashi Taino raised his hand and pulled the refreshments to the ground.

He Yingqin's face turned pale with fright.

Alright, Takahashi Taino showed up the list.

This list is not the one sent to the General Staff Headquarters, it is just a fool's dollar.

This list, nicknamed Yiguoduan, is all withdrawn from the Kuomintang Party Headquarters, the Central Army, the Military Police, and the Blue Coat Society, anyway, North China just can't leave a little "central" smell.

He Yingqin's face turned even paler.

Striking while the iron was hot, Takahashi Taino and Benshan Hai sang and harmonized to intimidate this government official. In the end, Takahashi Taino solemnly declared: "Both the Kwantung Army and the Tianjin garrison are of the opinion that Chiang Kai-shek has not been sincere enough to be friendly with us in our empire. ”

As soon as Takahashi Taiye said this, He Yingqin's face was not white, but blue.
