Shen Kai is a military commander spy. Professionally trained, thoughtful and undisturbed, he knew that it must be the prince who had a problem, and he did not make any mistakes at all, as long as he explained clearly, there should be no big responsibility.

Sure enough, after he was escorted into the interrogation room, a familiar military commander interrogated him about all the details of his trip to Jiangbei, and Shen Kai explained in detail 1510, and asked him at the end: "Sir, it can't be the wrong person." ”

The team leader said: "It's a mistake, that person is the prince's aide-de-camp, called Nishikujo Masanobu, and he is still an earl, but the weight is far worse than the prince, this oolong is not the right time, the chairman is ready to hold a press conference, so he had to temporarily withdraw it, lose face in front of international friends, and scold Boss Dai, this time I am afraid that someone will be unlucky." ”

Shen Xingxing was taken aback: "You won't take me under the knife, right?" ”

The team leader said: "You are Boss Dai's favorite general, I won't deal with you, at most it will delay your career, okay, you go back first, don't go out, wait for processing." ”

……

In the chairman's residence, Chiang Kai-shek walked back and forth, Dai Li hung his head and stood solemnly, and suddenly Chiang Kai-shek stopped, pointed at Dai Li's nose and scolded: "Such a little thing can't be done well, if it weren't for the attendant's room to keep an eye on the interrogation in advance, I would have lost the adult in the world, Niang Xipi!" What's the use of asking you military commanders! ”

Dai Lihan came down, endured the stormy reprimand of the commission, and secretly scolded Chen Zikun in his heart, how to hand over a fake one to himself, the captive has been locked up in Jiangbei for so long, why didn't he even find out his identity, no, Chen Zikun has also been engaged in intelligence work for many years, and he will not make such a low-level mistake, the only possibility is that he is unwilling to hand over the real prince to Chongqing, and he will send a fake one, neither offending Chongqing nor angering the Japanese side.

Chen Zikun, Chen Zikun, you took advantage of it, brother, I am unlucky, thinking of this, Dai Li said in a low voice: "Commission, there must be something strange in this matter." ”

Chiang Kai-shek said: "You say." ”

After listening to Dai Li's conjecture, Chiang Kai-shek's face was cloudy, Dai Li knew that the commission was generally moody and angry, and only in front of himself did he not hide his mood, it seems that this time the bet was right, Chen Zikun was going to be unlucky.

"Chen Kunwu, although you were kind to me before, it's no wonder that my brother doesn't take care of you now." Dai Li said secretly in his heart.

But Chiang Kai-shek did not punish Chen Zikun in the end, but said: "This matter is settled, go back and let Zhang Qun secretly contact the Japanese side and send this Earl of West Jiujo back." ”

"Yes!" Dai Lisa heels together.

……

At the foot of Daqing Mountain, Chen Zikun and Qing Shuifeng were walking on the thick snow, the guards followed far behind, the land was vast, and the village was full of smoke, so there was a beautiful scenery in the snow.

"It's a beautiful scenery that reminds me of Yasunari Kawabata's Snow Country." Qing Shui Feng was relaxed and happy, and he sighed sincerely.

"If there was no war, this place would be more beautiful. ”

Qing Shui Feng said: "By the way, how did Your Excellency know that I am the prince?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Although the fake prince also has a noble temperament, he is always a little worse with you, and he and the royal ryu king will always involuntarily look at you, you are the real His Royal Highness Fengren of Shimizu Palace." ”

Qing Shui Feng said: "You guessed right, the fake is actually my secretary, Count Masanobu Nishikujo, and the king of Goryu is my brother-in-law, and the three of us have known each other since childhood." ”

Chen Zikun said: "It turns out that Yusang is still a relative of the emperor, no wonder he is arrogant and domineering. ”

Shimizu Feng said: "The royal family is a family of gate valves, hereditary nobles, and has shares in several large industrial groups, and his mother is from the long-established Genji family, so I really can't do it." ”

The two of them burst out laughing.

"General Chen, do you really think that if you detain me, you can bring peace?" Qing Shui Feng said earnestly.

"Of course not, I'm not so naïve, even if I detain your brother Hirohito, I can't stop the chariot of the Japanese Empire, I just want to keep you for a while, feel the determination of our military and civilians to resist Japan, and let your military department know how much it will cost you to swallow China."

"Hay, mine understood." Qing Shui Feng nodded, during this time he ate and lived with the villagers of Daqingshan, spun and chatted together at night, heard many atrocities of the Japanese army and singing and crying anti-Japanese stories, the heart of the prince who had always grown up in the gentle countryside was deeply touched, Chen Zikun studied the Japanese very much, knew their national character, not as moderate as the Chinese, but like to go to extremes, either fanatical militants, or resolute anti-war elites.

Prince Shimizu is a high-level intellectual, and he has always had a compassionate side in his feelings, and with a little education and guidance, he will fall to the anti-war side, so that it is more beneficial for him to help himself from the bottom of his heart than to force him.

Sure enough, Qing Shui Feng said: "I have considered a solution for you, can you see if it is feasible?" ”

"Your Highness, please speak."

"It is unrealistic to let the military withdraw from China, and it is impossible to withdraw from the Jiangbei region, even if you agree for a while, you will regret it, although I am a prince, but the influence is not as strong as you think, but this group of martial artists, my opinion is that it is better to send a smaller force to garrison Jiangbei, everyone coexists peacefully, and waits for the end of the war, whether it is victory or defeat, at least the safety of the people in Jiangbei can be guaranteed."

"Oh? Which army does Your Highness think is suitable? ”

"The Osaka division is more suitable, Osaka's life is very peaceful, and they don't like to kill, and they will be stationed in Jiangbei, and they will definitely be able to get along safely."

"yes, then you can look into ......."

……

Nanjing, the headquarters of the Jiangbei Incident Countermeasures Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army, and after listening carefully to the report of the Oro King on the incident, the generals all set their eyes on Chief of Staff Seishiro Itagaki.

His Excellency the Lieutenant General paced back and forth, his brows furrowed, everyone knew that he was thinking about countermeasures, and they didn't dare to make any sound, the impatience of the King of Ryu and the others, just about to speak, a few sharp eyes shot over, glaring at him and swallowing his words back, although he was a young and promising head of the imperial organs, but it was not enough to see in front of this group of generals who had been fighting for many years.

Suddenly, Seishiro Itagaki stopped and said, "There is absolutely no compromise, even if the prince is in their hands, this is related to the course of the war and the future of Japan." ”

King Goryu said, "Don't you care about the safety of Your Highness!" ”

Itagaki Seishiro didn't look at him, walked straight to the wall, pointed to the huge military map, and said: "Send a wing of troops from each of the three directions of Nanjing, Hankou, and Xuzhou to squeeze, and at the same time mobilize the mountain infantry of the first wing under the jurisdiction of Taiwan's Botian Detachment to encircle and suppress the Daqingshan area." ”

King Ryu's heart is beating wildly, Seishiro Itagaki is trying to force the prince to death, he knows very well the calculations of the military maniacs, the death of the prince will not only have no impact on the battle situation, but also arouse the morale of the imperial army...... But Prince Shimizu must not die, he is his brother-in-law.

"I'm against it!" King Ryūo shouted.

The generals' grim gaze swept towards him.

"You are murder, if Your Highness has a mistake, General Itagaki you will wait to bear the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor! I repeat, it must be resolved peacefully. Ignoring the anger of the generals, the king of Goryu proudly withdrew from the venue.

The high-level contest has begun secretly, and the influence of the aristocratic family cannot be underestimated, under their pressure, the staff headquarters made concessions and began to contact Jiangbei to test the bottom line of the other party.

The Japanese side insisted that Shimizu had returned safely to Tokyo after his visit to China and that the capture was purely unfounded, but it refused to allow the prince to appear in public, saying that His Highness was occasionally feeling cold and was not suitable to meet people.

Chongqing, on the other hand, has remained silent, seemingly uninterested in this lie, which can be broken at the first point.

In February 1941, all fighting on the Chinese front ceased and plunged into an unsettling calm that seemed to breed a more violent storm.

As we all know, Seishiro Itagaki is a brave general, suitable for leading troops to fight in the east and west, this kind of action involving the safety of the imperial family is not suitable for him to exert his strength, more high-level famous generals participated, including General Kenji Dohihara, who has the reputation of "Lawrence of the East", and General Ishihara Waner, who is known as the imperial strategist.

Due to the high-level struggle, Dohihara retired from the front-line battlefield and now serves as the principal of the non-commissioned officer school, while Ishihara Waner is even more miserable, and is idle after being dismissed from the post of division commander by the chief of the general staff of Hideki Tojo, and the capture of the prince makes these two generals like sharks that smell blood, and they can't wait to secretly fly from Tokyo to China to give advice to Seishiro Itagaki.

As everyone knows, Ishihara's wisdom and Itagaki are the golden combination of the Japanese Army, in Manchukuo, in Inner Mongolia, and at Lugou Bridge, more than once showing the power of the duo's partnership, defeating Zhang Xueliang, Song Zheyuan, Yan Xishan, plus a general Tu Feiyuan who is familiar with the Three Kingdoms Water Margin and knows the character of the Chinese, it is simply invincible!

The Japanese side offered to exchange conditions through an intermediary acceptable to both sides, Yan Qingyu, vice director of the propaganda department of the Wang government, to the Jiangbei National Army, along with two staff members of the Japanese Red Cross Society.

Chen Zikun saw the list made by the Japanese side, and people like him, who are used to seeing big scenes, can't help but be shocked, this is simply a generous condition that cannot be refused.

1,000 taels of gold, 500,000 silver dollars, 100,000 US dollars, and 100,000 yen are all hard currency; Then there are ten Type 92 infantry guns, 500 shells, 20 Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns, 100 Czech-made ZB26 light machine guns, 1,000 Mauser rifles newly manufactured from the factory, and there are brackets at the back, indicating that they can be replaced with Japanese-style 38 rifles free of charge, all according to your wishes.

The most eye-catching thing is a complete set of hospital equipment, from disinfection to surgery, countless supporting drugs, and a set of bullet shell stamping equipment, all of which are urgently needed by Daqingshan.

The Japanese side also said that the Jiangbei region could be exempted from money and grain forever, but the withdrawal of the imperial army was absolutely not negotiable.

If it was an ordinary bandit, seeing such a rich ransom, he would have been dizzy and couldn't find the north, but Chen Zikun said that the price was too low.
