Chapter 71: Assassination (1)
The plan to deal with Zhao Zhi already existed, but these were still just a plan of action on paper, and the specific implementation plan still needed to be discussed and formulated, and after getting the emperor's approval, Prince Zaihito and Lu Xiang Shanshan Yuan left the palace. "Prince, the action to deal with Zhao Zhi will be handed over to the Black Dragon Society to execute, the Black Dragon Society has been operating in China for many years, and I know the temperament of the people in China very well, and there are many masters in the Black Dragon Society in China, I think the Black Dragon will come out, and this assassination of Zhao Zhi will be a complete success."
Prince Zairen did not object to Lu Xiangshanyuan's proposal, and the Japanese side had already taken more than one action against Zhao Zhi, and assassination operations against Zhao Zhi had been carried out in Chongqing and Kunming, but unfortunately the actions planned by the special high school were ultimately aborted. The Black Dragon Society is nominally a non-governmental organization, but in fact it has always been backed by the Japanese military, otherwise how could they have developed so much in such a short period of time.
"Your Excellency Lu Xiang, it is not impossible to hand over this assassination operation to the Black Dragon Society, but can you guarantee that the Black Dragon Society has the ability to complete this operation?" It's not that Prince Jaehito denies the Black Dragon Society's abilities, but he doesn't think that the Black Dragon Society is superior to the Special High Class, and compared to a paramilitary unit like the Special High School, the Black Dragon Society is just a group of civilians with samurai swords.
Prince Zairen has such a reaction, Shanshan Yuan is not surprised, the role of the Black Dragon Society in the China War was only in the first few years of the Shanghai Campaign, from 37 years, the shadow of the Black Dragon Society in the military department has slowly faded, many people think that the Black Dragon Society began to decline, in fact, the real situation is not the case. With the covert support of the Japanese high-level, the Black Dragon Society has slowly extended its tentacles to the Japanese-occupied areas of Southeast Asian countries, and now even Australia, where the British temporarily live, has a branch of the Black Dragon Society.
Throughout the morning, Prince Jaehito and Lu Xiang Shanshan Yuan were discussing the plan of action to assassinate Zhao Zhi, and until noon, Prince Zairen and Lu Xiang Shanshan Yuan, who had differences in the choice of the executor of the operation, finally reached an agreement that the Black Dragon Society and the Special High School would carry out the assassination of Zhao Zhi together. Under the persuasion of Shanshan Yuan's distance, Prince Zairen was quite satisfied with this result, and believed that the Black Dragon would be able to complete this assassination operation well with the careful investigation of the special high class.
The Japanese side has made up its mind to assassinate Zhao Zhi this time, and under the circumstance that the assassination plan only has a rough framework, a group of ninjutsu masters of the Black Dragon Society in Japan have already arrived at the branch of the Shanghai Black Dragon Society, and the person in charge of briefing them is the newly appointed intelligence director of the Shanghai headquarters of the Special High School, Nakamura Akira. Thunder's retaliation in Shanghai last time caused heavy losses to the Shanghai headquarters of the special high school, and almost all the losses from the intelligence officers below to the cadres above, so Akira Nakamura, who was working as a cold bench in the northeast, had the opportunity to be transferred to Shanghai as the head of the situation section.
"Musashi-kun, this operation is entrusted to you" Nakamura Akira brought all the information related to Zhao Zhi collected by the special high class, and opened them one by one in front of Musashi Jixiong, the fourth mission of the Black Dragon Society, "Zhao Zhi, an overseas Chinese, 24 years old this year, the behind-the-scenes boss of Thunder Defense, has a very unusual relationship with the high-level of Germany and the United States, and this person is also a melee master" Nakamura Akira introduced only news from the market, Zhao Zhi planned the Anglo-French campaign for the German Command, but the Japanese did not know.
"This American woman's name is Rowling, she is the most promising successor in the third generation of the American Rockman family, she is also Zhao Zhi's woman, the Rockman family has admitted Zhao Zhi and this woman's affairs, Thunder's headquarters in the United States is in charge of the Rockman family, and we suspect that the American-style firearms used by Thunder's troops in China are the Rockman family's war investment in Zhao Zhi, and only an old family like them is willing to spend such a big price to support a Zhao Zhi who has no roots in China." Akira Nakamura is holding a photo of Rowling in his hand, and in order to collect Rowling's information, the special high school even does not hesitate to use an intelligence point lurking in the United States.
The resolute-faced Musashi Jixiong just snorted out of his nose, but he didn't pick up Nakamura Ming's words, although their Black Dragon Society is not a good man and a woman, but it is not enough to deal with other people's wives and daughters, isn't there an old saying that the people of China also say that the wives and daughters are not harmed, is it that the dignified imperial samurai is not as good as the people of China. "Nakamura-kun, our target is only Zhao Zhi, we can't control this American woman, if you want to deal with this woman, please tell us about the Black Dragon Society before you act"
Although Rowling is Zhao Zhi's woman, she is also a member of the American Lockman family, although now that Japan and the United States have gone to war, the ambitious Black Dragon Society will not take the initiative to provoke a large Western family like Lockman, at least not at present. "Musashi-kun, this is not a request of our special high class, but a request from the cabinet, the United States has now become an enemy in war with the Empire, for the sake of those imperial warriors who died on the sea, the United States must pay the price, this Rowling is just a prelude" Nakamura Akira was a little calm in the face of Musashi Yoshio's refusal.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Navy and the U.S. fleet have been fighting each other, and Japan has the upper hand in the confrontation between the two sides, but with the escalation and expansion of the naval battle, there are more problems that follow. The U.S. fleet, which lost in the naval battle, continued to receive support and replenishment of ships from the U.S. mainland, but Japan was unable to do so; in April, the Japanese mainland suffered a large-scale attack, and the military port and most of the shipyards were completely lost, and the ships were sunk and damaged in the naval battle but could not be replenished or repaired, and this is the biggest problem facing the Japanese Navy at present.
Kill Rowling not only because she is Zhao Zhi's woman, but also because of the Lockman family, the largest shipbuilding base in the United States is on the West Coast, half of the shipyards that have been verified in Japan belong to the Lockman family, these shipyards managed by the Rockman family are the strong backing of the US Navy, it is with their existence that the US fleet that lost in the naval battle can be repaired and replenished in the first time, and if Japan wants to win the final victory in the naval battle, it must cut off the back road of the US Navy, Dealing with the Rockman family is only the first step.
"We are samurai, not politicians and soldiers" After listening to Akira Nakamura's analysis of this operation, Musashi Jixiong still has that calm expression, fighting a war is a soldier's business, the current situation is a politician's business, they are the samurai of the Black Dragon Society, Zhao Zhi is their target, and the others have nothing to do with this operation, Musashi Jixiong has been sticking to his own principles. "We need Zhao Zhi's specific position now, and your special high class must also provide us with a false identity of the Zhina people, which is something else we need" Musashi Yoshio placed a page in front of Nakamura Akira, which recorded some of the necessary equipment and weapons for the operation.
"Damn" Nakamura Akira scolded in his heart, picked up the piece of paper with a smile on his face and looked at it, "Yes, we have these things in our special high class, and I will send someone to your Black Dragon Society's residence in the afternoon, but what I want to say is that this assassination operation was directly planned and assigned by the cabinet, and I think your Black Dragon Society's head mountain man also hopes for the successful completion of this operation, so please be sure to do it with your heart, please" A few words of explanation, Nakamura Akira bowed to Musashi and the others and left, As the head of the intelligence section of the special high school, he really didn't have a common language with these samurai.
"Musashi-senpai, do we really want to cooperate with their special high class on this matter?" Looking at Musashi Jixiong, who was wiping the long knife, Kanako Yoshino, the only woman in this operation, asked cautiously. Like Musashi Jixiong, the dozen or so people who were sent to Shanghai by the Black Dragon Society this time were unwilling to have anything to do with the special high class, especially the threatening meaning in Nakamura Akira's words before he left just now, which made Kanako, who was as anxious as a fire, almost turn his face on the spot.
Kanako's inquiry, Musashi Jio was not easy to answer for a while, what Nakamura Akira said just now is already very clear, this assassination operation was directly assigned by the cabinet, and the president of the Black Dragon Society can't refuse, not to mention that these people are just samurai of the Black Dragon Society, so they can't refuse the task requirements of the special high class. "Kanako, don't ask so much, let's go and prepare before the action" Musashi Jixiong turned his wrist and put the long knife into the sheath, carefully flipped through the information brought by Akira Nakamura, and saw that the leader was so attitude, Kanako had to leave silently with the others.
The action of the special high school was very fast, as Nakamura Akira promised when he left, the day after Musashi Jixiong and Nakamura Akira met, the identity documents and mobility equipment that Musashi needed were sent over, but along with these things, there was also a special team specially selected by the special high school. "Your mission is to use the special ammunition provided by the Suwon Army to hunt down Zhao Zhi and the American woman next to him after the Black Dragon Society people fail" This is the original words of Nakamura Akira to the special high school action team, and the special ammunition he said is a new type of poison gas bomb newly developed by Japan, which can be added to the grenade and fired with a grenadier.
The Black Dragon Society and others only stayed in Shanghai for three days, and after three days, with the assistance of the Special High School, Musashi Jixiong and the others went to Chongqing on a German-flagged sea ship, from which they would travel to Shanxi and enter Zhangwu County to assassinate Zhao Zhi and Luo Lin. "What? The Japanese want to assassinate Zhao Zhi? At the same time as Musashi Jixiong and they left Shanghai, a top-secret information was also sent to Chongqing by the intelligence officer of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, and Dai Li, who received the information, was shocked, if the Japanese assassination was a conventional means used, it would be forgotten, but no one had ever seen the new special ammunition specifically mentioned in the intelligence, and the method of cracking it was naturally impossible to talk about, Dai Li couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Zhao Zhi.
