Chapter 395: The Meeting Before Leaving
"Congratulations to Ying Zuojun, I have long said that you have a long-term vision, extraordinary ambitions, and quick thinking, with your talent, you are bound to be favored by the Imperial Military Department, I am afraid that you will not stay in a department like the consulate for too long, and our cooperation may not last long, and I am sure that I am right!"
"This time it has been reused by the military department, and it is estimated that he will soon become the rank of Dazuo, and he is only one step away from the general, and the future is bright!" Han Lin said with a smile.
That being said, in fact, he already knew that Ying Zuo Zhenzhao would be transferred this year, although he couldn't remember the exact time, and when this old spy returned to Shanghai again, it was already three years later, and his identity became the head of the Military Affairs Division of the Military Affairs Bureau of the Army Province, and he became the rank of Army Commander of the Japanese Army.
Within a few months of engaging in spy work in Shanghai, because of his rebellion against Wang Jingwei, he was transferred to the General Staff Headquarters, mainly responsible for the "Wang work" of forming Wang's puppet government, and relying on the traitorous agreement signed with Wang Jingwei, he was directly promoted to major general of the army, becoming the behind-the-scenes manipulator of Wang's puppet government.
"Han Jun, I thank you for your auspicious words, but I came to Shanghai on August 1 last year to serve as the military attache of the consulate again, according to the normal promotion procedure of the imperial army, it will take at least three years to be transferred, I can't guess why you have such a judgment?" Kagesa asked with a smile.
This is not the first time that Han Lin has praised his talent, saying that he will not stay in the consulate for long, he feels that Han Lin appreciates his talent very much and is very optimistic about his future.
But the question is, why is the other party so determined?
"Ying Zuojun, I made this judgment from the situation of China and Japan, there is a possibility of a full-scale war between the empire and China, Ying Zuojun does not have to deny it, this possibility is very high, and you are very familiar with the situation in China, not everyone is qualified, twice served as a military attache in the consulate, he has excellent ability, and he will inevitably be respected by the military department and further cultivated,"
"The reason why I accepted the invitation to cooperate and accepted the gift of the empire was not because I was open to money, but also because of my selfishness. First of all, the backward army of the Jinling government cannot stop the elite army of the empire at all, and purely in terms of combat effectiveness, the empire is currently a military power in the world, and the future situation will become a new situation of comprehensive cooperation between Japan and China, which is the trend of the times. ”
"Secondly, after the outbreak of the war, I think that Kagesa-kun will definitely return to China to take up important positions, the empire is a country that attaches great importance to intelligence work, and with Kagesa-kun's outstanding ability, he will definitely become the decision-maker of the empire's important affairs in China, and enter the sequence of generals." Han Lin said.
If you want to get the attention of Kagesa Zhenzhao, the best way is to convince him with facts, as a traverser, there is no shortage of this condition. I'm going to put my words here today, if I don't believe it, let's just wait and see, and when you verify my judgment, you will naturally pay special attention to me in the future, and become a staff member who talks about everything, and my gray area plan will be smoothly opened.
"It is naturally my wish to be able to enter the rank of general, but the promotion mechanism of the imperial army is completely different from the Jinling government, which is very arbitrary and has a chaotic system, even if I am promoted to Dazuo and want to become a major general, in the most ideal state, it will take five years, maybe seven to eight years."
"Take the example of Minister Ninji Okamura, he has a special relationship in the empire, and even so, it took five years to be promoted from Osa to major general, let alone me? There is no special opportunity, it is difficult! Kagesa shook his head and said.
He is a guy who has always been very conceited, firmly believing that he is the elite of the Imperial Military Department, and he studied at the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, the honor student of the 35th class of the Army University, so as to enter the Army Staff Headquarters, and also served as an instructor at the Army University.
To mention again, in the Japanese army during World War II, it was absolutely impossible to do without qualifications, and it was not for the graduates of the Land University to be promoted to generals, this was a rule of the game, and the top students who did not graduate from the Land University were not allowed to enter the combat course of the General Staff Headquarters, which was a simple threshold, and if they did not meet the standards, they basically had no chance.
To be promoted from Dazuo to major general, it is not enough to have qualifications, at least you must have practical experience in serving as a wing commander, and you must also have good results, otherwise you can only have seniority in the rank of Dazuo, and the general age of Japanese generals is because of the strict promotion mechanism.
According to the regulations, the minimum time for Zhongzuo to be promoted to Dazuo is two years, and the minimum time for Dazuo to be promoted to major general is two years, which doesn't sound like much, but this is only theoretical!
Usually, it takes at least five to eight years for Dazuo to be promoted to major general, and it is not easy to get the results of quickly entering the rank of general!
"Ying Zuojun, please don't look at the problem in an ordinary way of thinking, at the moment China and Japan are facing war at any time, opportunities always have to be given to those who are prepared, for me, investing in Ying Zuojun is my opportunity. After you arrive in Japan, I hope you will continue to keep in personal contact with me, and I will give you some personal information and advice on the trend of the battle situation. Han Lin said.
"Thank you Han Jun for your high recognition of me, if there is really the day you say, I will definitely not disappoint your investment, even if it can't be achieved, we are still best friends. You can send the letters to the consulate in Shanghai, and they will take them back to Tokyo for you to pass on to me. ”
"Wait for Takaki Tomohou Nakasa to come over, he originally worked in the fourth section of the second department, and he has just been appointed by the minister of Gangcun as the military attache of the consulate in Shanghai to take over my position, and he will also act as a direct contact between the intelligence department and you, you can just hand over the letter to him." Kagesa said.
"What does Ying Zuojun mean is that after you leave, the international information I will get in the future will still be owned by the Ministry of Intelligence, or will it not be given to the special services in Shanghai?" Han Lin asked with a look of surprise.
According to normal logic, the Beijing-Shanghai area in which he is active belongs to the sphere of influence of the special services in Shanghai, and it is the people of the special services in Shanghai who first contacted him, and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao grabbed this resource, there is no way, since Ying Zuo Zhenzhao is transferred, he should return the intelligence line to the special services in Shanghai, but he did not expect that it was directly received by the Ministry of Intelligence, and the headquarters organs and subordinate departments in the region really have a lot of resources, what is this called?
The Japanese style of doing things, he doesn't want to guess now, the brain circuits are different, and there are always some unexpected behaviors.
"That's right, your understanding is accurate, I will report your problem to the second department, and Minister Gangcun finally decided that your international intelligence line is directly subordinate to the fourth section of the second department, and the current situation is maintained, the new head of the special agency in Shanghai, Nobuo Ueno, has always wanted it, but Minister Gangcun did not give him this face, which also involves the contradiction between the intelligence department and the special high department." Kagesa said.
