Chapter 189: Get Rid of Him!
"Get rid of Wu Haoxuan? He's just a hairy boy. Why don't you just kill Wu Xingquan? He is the envoy of the Northeast Patrol and the Economic Strategy of Mongolia and Xinjiang, and he is also the chairman of the Political Affairs Committee of the Northern Government and the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army. Ryohei Uchida frowned.
In Uchida Ryohei's view, getting rid of Wu Xingquan will definitely play a much greater role than getting rid of Wu Haoxuan.
"If it had been two years ago, getting rid of Wu Xingquan might have made a big difference, but now it won't work. Wu Haoxuan has already established a leading position in the northern government and the northern army. According to the information we have obtained, it is Wu Haoxuan who is now the one who has the idea in the northern government and the northern army. And Wu Xingquan, that unambitious guy is just a puppet. Rihachiro Sakanishi had a smile on his lips.
"If it's really as you said, then if you want to kill Wu Haoxuan, I'm afraid it's very difficult!" Tou Shan Man said.
"Yes, very difficult. But that's why we're going to do it. If we can kill each other, it will cause chaos in the northern government, and even lead to the division of the northern army, and the next time we want to defeat them, it will be easier. Rihachiro Sakanishi said.
"Why don't you take matters into your own hands and let us do it?" Touyamaman continued to ask. He's not a fool, these guys in the army intelligence department clearly want to stay out of the matter. If there is an accident, the black dragon will definitely carry the black cauldron at that time.
"If we make a move, it will be an act of the government, and it is very likely to detonate a new round of war. Japan is not ready for war, and we must avoid such a situation. If you had made a move, it would have been completely different. Rihachiro Sakanishi shook his head.
"Banxi-kun, we need to think about it, and I'll give you an answer in three days." Tou Shan Man said.
"Hi, Your Excellency." Rihachiro Sakanishi nodded. Then take your leave and leave.
"Toushan-kun, what do you think? Do those guys from Army Intelligence want us to be gunmen? A hint of anger flashed across Ryohei Uchida's face. He has a lot of opinions about the defeat of the army, thinking that it led to the waste of their efforts.
"Alas, Army. They probably have their own difficulties. Toushan-kun sighed.
"Those bastards, we managed to gain a foothold in the Northeast, but because of their failures, our decades of hard work were in vain. Those guys should really apologize! Ryohei Uchida said angrily.
"Uchida-kun, no matter what, what we do is for the rise of the Great Japanese Empire. The Japanese Army's soldiers last year had a variety of reasons. Today's Japan has indeed reached the point of life and death. We have to work closely with the Army. Tou Shan Man said.
Then we will accede to their request. To assassinate Wu Haoxuan? Ryohei Uchida was still a little unwilling.
"Of course we can't just forget it, we can go and assassinate Wu Haoxuan. However, the Army must give us enough benefits. A sly smile appeared on Toushanman's face.
Although the Black Dragon Society has become the largest militarist organization in Japan, neither the government nor the army actually treats them too much, but more as tools. Toyama is desperate to change that.
Ryohei Uchida also nodded and took your head, although the risk of assassinating Wu Haoxuan is very high, and if you don't do it, you will carry the black pot. But if it works out. It was extremely beneficial to the Great Japanese Empire. They could also use this to make a series of secret agreements with the War Office.
After leaving the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society, Rihachiro Sakanishi returned to the Army Staff Headquarters. Report to the Chief of Staff, Marshal Iwawa Oyama, on the progress of the plan. In the last war, after the disastrous defeat of the Japanese Army, the chief of staff, General Okuhoko, was forced to step down, as was the director of education, General Nishikanjiro. Although, the Manchurian dispatch army also suffered a defeat, but. In order to strengthen his control over the army, Yamaguchi Youpeng proposed Marshal Oyama Iwa to be the chief of staff. Marshal Oyama Iwa also agreed to this proposal, and was once again appointed chief of staff. As for the position of director of education, it is held by Senior General Katsura Taro.
Katsura Taro lost his position as prime minister because of the defeat of the army, and gave him a director of education. He is also one of the three commanders of the army. At the same time, these highly qualified men are in charge of the army, which also makes it easy to control the army, so that the army can complete the preparation for war in the latest time.
The Japanese General Staff Headquarters was still very interested in the plan proposed by Nobujun Aoki and Rihachiro Sakanishi to get rid of Wu Haoxuan. After all, in last year's war, the Japanese Army lost more than 100,000 people, which made the Japanese Army already list Wu Haoxuan, the actual controller of the Northern Army, as the number one enemy. At the same time, the large-scale industrial construction carried out by the government in the north also made the Japanese Army feel a great threat. If Wu Haoxuan can be eliminated, it will undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to Japan.
That evening, at the Japanese War Department, the Minister of War Masaki Terauchi, the Chief of Staff Marshal Oyama Iwa, and the Director of Education, Senior General Katsura Taro, got together to discuss the plan submitted by Nobujun Aoki and Rihachiro Sakanishi.
"What do you think of this plan, both of you?" Marshal Oyama asked. Although, among the three commanders of the Japanese Army, the Minister of War has the highest status. However, Oyama Iwa is a field marshal and has a very high prestige in the army, which makes him the highest-ranking person in the Japanese army except for the veteran of Yama Prefecture Aritomo.
"Your Excellency, I think their plan is a bit risky. However, I have to admit that if it can succeed, it will be very advantageous for the Great Japanese Empire. Prime Minister Masahiro Terauchi said.
"That guy has the blood of the Imperial Japanese Army warriors on his hands, and he must be killed!" Katsura Taro also said. Although, the use of assassination is a bit dishonorable. But this is what the Japanese are best at doing. The Japanese look humble on the surface, but behind the scenes they are full of intrigues.
"But have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if you get rid of Wu Haoxuan? I am afraid that the war between us and the Northern Army will break out immediately. And now, we are not ready for war at all. The five divisions that arrived in North Korea were only just full. There is a severe shortage of supplies such as weapons and equipment. The 20 divisions and regiments in the country do not have enough military funds to mobilize. If the Chinese attack Korea, we will have no way to stop them. "Marshal Oyama Iwa was a little worried. Although he also wanted to get rid of Wu Haoxuan, he was more cautious.
"Your Excellency Marshal, the five divisions of the Korean Army have already built a strong defensive line on the east bank of the Yalu River, and it is not so easy for the people of China to break through the Yalu River. Moreover, our allies will not see us lose Korea again, as is clearly stipulated in the Anglo-Japanese Treaty of Alliance, which is a colony of the Japanese Empire. If we are weakened again, it will not be good for the British. Therefore, even if we kill Wu Haoxuan, it will only cause some conflicts at most, and there will be no large-scale war. Katsura Taro said.
"What's more, the Chinese are good at infighting. Although Wu Haoxuan established his prestige among the northern government and the northern army. However, if he is assassinated, Wu Xingquan alone will not be able to stabilize the overall situation. If it is not done well, the northern government and the northern army will be divided. Don't forget, in addition to the fact that we don't want to see the Northern Army getting stronger and stronger, the Beiyang government also wants the Northern Army to split. Otherwise, the 'living Cao Cao' of China will have trouble sleeping. Even if Wu Xingquan relied on his prestige to barely maintain the northern government and the northern army, their industrialization into the city would be seriously affected. When we are ready for war, we will be able to defeat them. At that time, the entire Northeast will be ours. And the revival of the Great Japanese Empire is just around the corner! Katsura Taro continued.
Marshal Oyama Iwa and Terauchi Masayi both nodded again and again, if they can successfully get rid of Wu Haoxuan, it will indeed be of great benefit to Japan. Of course, this also means that there is a certain amount of risk. It's just that the risk is insignificant compared to the benefits of success.
"If we fail, are we sure it won't affect us?" Oyama asked.
"Aoki-kun, they suggested that the Black Dragon Society should take action, in this case, even if it fails, it can be completely attributed to the enemies of the domestic civil society, and it has nothing to do with us. Big deal, just quit a few scapegoats. Masaki Terauchi said.
"So, this time the plan is foolproof? What do Ryohei Uchida and Mitsuru Toyama say? Oyama asked.
"Your Excellency Marshal, Ryohei Uchida and Mitsuru Toyama need to think about it. However, I think they are trying to negotiate terms with us. As long as you can succeed and give them a little benefit, what does it matter? Katsura Taro said.
Oyama Iwa nodded: "Katsura Taro, you go and meet Ryohei Uchida and Mitsuru Toyama, no matter what, let them implement this plan!" ”
"Hi, Your Excellency Marshal!" Katsura Taro nodded.
The next night, Katsura Taro secretly visited the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society and had a secret conversation with Ryohei Uchida and Mitsuru Toyama. No one knows what they're talking about? However, it took two hours for Katsura Taro to leave the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society. And, with a smile on his face when he left, it was clear that he had reached an agreement with the leaders of the Black Dragon Society.
After this meeting, the Black Dragon Society secretly sent its killers to China, passing through Yanjing City into the north, preparing to carry out their plan. (To be continued......)
