Chapter 400: Meet the Old Man
In Xu Rundong's heart, he looks down on loaches very much.
is not a graduate of a military academy, nor has he received systematic training, what he is best at is sneaking around and shooting horses, mixing with people of three religions and nine streams, and not growing.
If it weren't for Chu Lingyun, a person like Loach wouldn't know which action he would hang up, and how would he have a chance to be promoted to the leader of the major.
"Team Leader Xu, I'll go back first."
The loach has not been at the surveillance point for long, and this case does not belong to them, it belongs to the intelligence department, and he just came to assist.
There's no need to stay here forever.
Not to mention, there was nothing to be done in this case, and he was not much interested.
"Thank you, Team Leader."
Xu Rundong responded with a smile, and after waiting for the loach to be immediate, he soon left as well, leaving a captain here to continue staring.
He also didn't pay much attention to this case.
Tokyo, Japan.
Two middle-aged men kneel in a luxurious room with delicate snacks and sake on the table.
"Konoe-kun, Kobayashi Kuro can't control the cabinet, this time the time is ripe, you don't have to wait any longer."
Kobayashi is the current prime minister who took office just this year, but he has inherited a mess that lacks the power and prestige to reconcile today's large and complex domestic relations.
It is well recognized that he has not been prime minister for a long time. "Hosokawa-kun, do you think I should stand up too?"
Konoe Takemo asked softly, and Hosokawa Akiyasu nodded, "Everyone is looking forward to it.
At the beginning of last year, some people wanted Konoe Takemo to come out to form a cabinet, but the situation was complicated at the time, and he was rejected by Konoe Takemo, and now that so much time has passed, he has more preparations, and the time is indeed ripe.
"Well, I'll meet the emperor in two days."
Facing Hosokawa Akiyasu, Konoe Takemo was not as hypocritical as he was with others, he was obviously willing in his heart, but he said the opposite on his lips.
Hosokawa Akiyasu is now his biggest supporter, and the Hosokawa family has a good reputation, and after the marriage between the two parties, it is like a tiger for Konoe Takemo.
And recently they just received good news that Konoe Takemo's daughter, Hosokawa Akiyasu's daughter-in-law, is pregnant.
The relationship between the two families is one step closer.
"I'll say hello to the others."
Hosokawa Mingyasu nodded with satisfaction, and his in-laws became prime minister, which is also of great significance to the Hosokawa family, and the Hosokawa family can have better development in the future.
Nanjing, Military Intelligence Service.
Chu Lingyun was looking through some of the information he had recently collected, and the Military Intelligence Department was not only counter-espionage, but also had the task of probing the enemy's intelligence.
After seizing so many codebooks in a row, the Telecommunications Division broke it
Translation work has finally made some progress.
Important codes are still undecipherable, but some unimportant messages have been partially deciphered.
This information is top secret, and some of it will be reported to the Intelligence Section, except for Xu Yi and Xie Ziqi, deputy section chiefs, ordinary people have no right to read it, and even Xie Ziqi can't read some information.
However, after Chu Lingyun made a request, he waved his hand and immediately handed over all the deciphered information to Chu Lingyun.
There is not much information, and what can be analyzed is limited.
However, Chu Lingyun has the insight of later generations, and through this information, he has already discovered that Japan is ready to move on China, and what is lacking at present is a powder keg.
Although there is no domestic agreement on how to fight China, the countdown to full-scale aggression has indeed begun.
Chu Lingyun took out a pen and wrote down his thoughts and analysis, and finally emphasized that Japan had long had the intention of annexing China, and now that the situation is urgent, it is necessary to make a decision as soon as possible.
He knew very well that these things written had no effect, and the decision-making level above would definitely not change their strategy because of him as a lieutenant colonel.
He wrote this for himself.
Foreshadowing some of your actions after the war, so that those behaviors can be traced.
"Seat, here it is
I've made some judgments based on the analysis of the intelligence, and you can take a look at them when you have time."
Chu Lingyun came to the director's office and handed over all the things he had written, as well as the confidential information he had borrowed before.
"So many?"
He was a little surprised to see the three pieces of paper written by Chu Lingyun.
There is a lot of content, what is the information they deciphered, the seat is very clear, he has read it all before, there is not a lot of important information, and there are a lot of trivial things.
He didn't care at the time, the decipherment was made from scratch, and now being able to decipher some of the messages was a huge improvement, which he was praised by the old man.
Next, give them time, and the decipherment team will be able to decipher more important Japanese messages.
"I think Japan is likely to make big moves against us in the near future, so I'm going to write more.
"Big move?"
He was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked down at what Chu Lingyun had written: "Don't leave yet, sit there and wait for me to finish reading."
Chu Lingyun's ability is very clear to him, he is very keen, and he can find out the problem from what others can't see, so this time Chu Lingyun wanted to see the deciphered information, and he gave it to him without hesitation.
If Japan really makes a big move, but their military intelligence department knows nothing about it, it will be a dereliction of duty.
Chu Lingyun sat down on the sofa, and the seat looked carefully at the report written by Chu Lingyun.
The handwriting is very good, and this will sit in the mood to appreciate his font, and carefully read every word.
After more than ten minutes, he finished reading the three pages that Chu Lingyun had written.
"Lingyun, are you a little too careful?"
The seat raised his head and asked, according to Chu Lingyun's report, Japan is not only
There will be big moves, and there is a high probability that a full-scale war will be launched.
This is definitely not a trivial matter, but the basis of Chu Lingyun's analysis is only some troop transfers and domestic preparations.
These things are not enough to show that Japan is really going to war with China in an all-out way.
"Seat, I have written in my book, the public opinion in Japan is very important, especially the opinions in the army, and now the voice of the Japanese army for war is not low, especially those officers, although there are not many senior officers, but these middle and low-level officers must not be taken lightly, and the lessons of the Northeast can no longer be had."
When Japan invaded and occupied Northeast China, it also did not make all preparations.
In other words, many of their high-level executives are still scruples.
However, many mid-level officers, and even low-ranking officers, could not wait and acted rashly, which eventually led to the occupation of the three eastern provinces by Japan.
After the incident, the high-level officials in Japan, including the emperor, said that they did not support it, but secretly gave great encouragement, and finally the three eastern provinces were forcibly occupied by them.
After the occupation of the three eastern provinces, the Japanese careerists were greatly stimulated, and to this day, many people still call for the full occupation of China and the acquisition of this vast land.
"You wait."
The seat looked serious, lowered his head and carefully read Chu Lingyun's report, hesitated, and finally said, "Go, come with me to see the chairman."
Chu Lingyun wrote in great detail, in addition to the analysis of deciphering intelligence, there was also the judgment of the situation in Japan, and various situations that might occur.
This report is very important, and he can see that he is not an ordinary person
Come, a lot of the content in it is very reasonable and worth paying attention to.
Without Chu Lingyun's analysis, the seat would not do anything, but since there is an analysis, it must be reported.
It didn't happen, it was because they worked hard, it was just a mistake in judgment, Chu Lingyun was just a lieutenant colonel, and no one would hold him accountable.
But once it happens, even if only one thing is speculated in it, or even something related, if they report it, it will be a great achievement.
This transaction is not a loss, and he is very decisive, and immediately decided to take Chu Lingyun to report it together.
"Yes.
Chu Lingyun got up, he understood that his report was not unique, and many people with opinions in China had put forward similar views before.
But there have always been illusions above,
Ignore these.
The results of his report this time are expected to be the same, but if you can really make the above listen to it a little, maybe you can recover a lot of losses.
It's May 7th, exactly two months after the big change.
Before leaving, he made a phone call first, and then took Secretary Qi and Chu Lingyun to leave by car together.
When they arrived at the place, they waited for two hours before the old man met them.
"Chairman."
In front of the old man, he sat very respectfully, standing there bent over, the person in front of him was his biggest backer, and now all the power in his hands came from the person in front of him.
"The fishermen are here."
The old man responded with a smile, and immediately nodded: "He is Chu Lingyun.
This time, only the two of them came in, and it was the first time that Chu Lingyun really met this historical figure face-to-face.
"Student Chu Lingyun has seen the principal.
Chu Lingyun stood and gave a straight military salute, although the current principal was no longer the one in front of him, but when Chu Lingyun entered the school, he was a real principal.
There is nothing wrong with this title.
"You are Chu Lingyun, yes, young talent."
The old man smiled and nodded, he had heard Chu Lingyun's name many times, and this time he saw someone.
It's not that he doesn't want to see it, it's that Chu Lingyun's level is too low, and there is no reason why he won't meet such a person casually.
"Thank you to the principal for the compliment, the students don't deserve this kind of praise.
Chu Lingyun said modestly, and the old man smiled even more happily, not arrogant or impatient, which was very rare.
No wonder the eldest son has such a good relationship with him, and during this time, it is also thanks to him that he accompanies the eldest son.
"Chairman, Chu Lingyun is very keen on intelligence, we have deciphered some Japanese military and civilian messages before, and after reading it, he immediately wrote a report, I think it is very important, so I brought him to meet you.
He took out the report written by Chu Lingyun and presented it with both hands. The old man took the report and immediately flipped through it.
His smile froze, and the more he looked back, the tighter his brow became.
As the top boss in the country, he knows a lot more than others, and Japan is indeed advocating war, and many people even send their children to the army to serve the country and launch a war of aggression.
There have been many people who have said similar things to him before, but there are not many people like Chu Lingyun who wrote in such detail and were reasonable.
After reading it, the old man thought in silence for a minute, and suddenly asked, "You said that they launched an all-out war, and there was only one fuse, what is this fuse?"
"Cabinet support."
Chu Lingyun replied without thinking.
"Tell me more." The old man looked at him.
"Yes, the current Prime Minister of Japan, Kobayashi Kuro, is not enough to control the cabinet, so the current situation in their country is relatively chaotic. Kobayashi Kuro has just taken office this year, but he will not be able to do it for long if this continues, and I believe that he will soon step down, and then the Japanese military will not tolerate an incompetent prime minister, and the new one must first have one point, he can reconcile all kinds of contradictions, and give the military great support.
"Who do you think will be in charge of the Cabinet next?" The old man was silent again, and then asked.
"Konoe Wumo, there is no one else but him, last year his call to form a cabinet was very high, but he refused, he can see the situation clearly, and he was not tempted by the formation of a cabinet, but now it is different, he already has the conditions to form a cabinet, if he is invited again this time, he will not refuse."
As an enemy, the old man didn't know much about Japan, and he knew very well that what Chu Lingyun said was right.
"What about time?
"If it's fast, it's this month, if it's slow, it's three months at the latest.
This time, Chu Lingyun didn't finish his words, leaving a big buffer.
"What do you think Takemo Konoe would do if he came to power?"
The old man asked again, he sat on the side and lowered his head and did not speak, the old man's attitude had already shown that he attached great importance to Chu Lingyun's report
。
"With Konoe Takemo's temperament, it is estimated that he will be inclined to encroach, but the Japanese military is not so obedient, and I am afraid that they will not be able to control the situation and lead to a full-scale war."
Chu Lingyun replied softly, and the old man sat there, knocking on the sofa with his hand, and didn't speak again.
"Go back first, and don't let anyone else know about this report today."
It was a full three minutes before the old man spoke again.
"Yes."
Chu Lingyun and the seat responded together and retreated to leave.
After they left, the old man read Chu Lingyun's report again, and it was indeed detailed, although the content was not much, but it pointed to the main point.
If Japan really wants to go to full-scale war, what will he do next?
The old man had a bit of a headache, the current situation was not so favorable to him, he had not yet completed the unification of power, and he wanted to wait a few more years to clear the enemies in the country, and then come to deal with the Japanese wholeheartedly.
At the same time, he was lucky, believing that Japan did not dare to go to war in an all-out way.
Eventually, he put the report aside and didn't look at it again.
"Lingyun, you're doing well today."
After coming out, he praised Chu Lingyun and said that it was the first time he saw the old man
Son, neither humble nor arrogant, is worthy of being a person he values.
As for whether Chu Lingyun would threaten him, he didn't have any worries.
Not to mention Chu Lingyun's qualifications and age, with his current relationship with the eldest son, the old man will only leave him to the eldest prince, instead of putting him by his side.
The two of them serve the father and son at the same time, and they may be able to create a good story in the future.
"Thank you for cultivating."
Chu Lingyun thanked him, and the seat laughed with satisfaction, the report was handed in, and he didn't care if the higher authorities would pay attention to him.
Having said it in advance, there was really a bad situation written in Chu Lingyun's report, and their military intelligence department was not only without fault, but also meritorious, because they had predicted these in advance.
