Xu Enzeng concentrated his efforts on dealing with the underground party in exchange for the trust of the Jiang Wei Zuo, who knew that in the heart of the Chiang Wei Zuo, the threat of the underground party was much higher than that of the Japanese spies.

Therefore, if the spies in one place want to be promoted, they will see whether they have made achievements in dealing with the underground party, in other words, the internal struggle and struggle are very serious.

Ji Huichuan infiltrated people into the underground party organization, this is his achievement, the hard work in the early stage, but also for meritorious service awards, of course, the credit is given to a Shanghai urban area, otherwise it seems that he is too good at being a man and becomes the target of the public, but he must master the progress and rhythm of things, which is non-negotiable.

February 26, 25th year of the Republic of China.

Thousands of soldiers of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army's "Imperial Road" forces carried out a coup d'état under the leadership of the officers of the Shaozhuang faction, Prime Minister Keisuke Okada and Admiral Kantaro Suzuki, the emperor's chamberlain, were almost killed, the Minister of the Interior, Admiral Minoru Saito, was shot and killed by 47 guns, the Director of Education, General Watanabe Shotaro, had his head cut off, and the Minister of Finance, Takahashi Isakito, was killed.

The Japanese army, which staged the coup d'état, sealed off the headquarters of the Army General Staff and the headquarters of the Ministry of the Army, besieged the Metropolitan Police Department, and sealed off the residence of the Minister of War, and the whole of Tokyo was plunged into an atmosphere of panic.

When such a thing happened in Japan, the embassies of various countries in Japan sent telegrams to their own governments to report the situation, and the German government and the US government, as well as the intelligence departments of the two countries, immediately attached great importance to Han Lin's intelligence, and paid more attention to Han Lin's own value.

On the morning of the 27th, Han Lin, who was sleeping, was suddenly woken up by a phone call.

Smith and Bratton called one after another, asking to meet with him for a detailed discussion, but fortunately, this was a major incident within the Japanese themselves, and the time was not too short, so Han Lin made appointments for the morning and afternoon respectively.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Smith arrived at the Han house.

"My friend, as you said, the Naval Intelligence Bureau sent me a telegram last night, saying that the US Government had received a notification from the Embassy in Japan that Japanese soldiers had staged a coup d'état on 26 July, killing and wounding many high-ranking Japanese military and political officials, and blocking the military command center of the Army, and the situation had become extremely chaotic."

"The Director has informed me that we are not only going to give you a handsome reward this time, but we also want to hire you as a special adviser to the intelligence services on Japan, for which you will receive an additional adviser's remuneration."

"Regarding the textbook on the interpretation of the inside story of the Japanese military and politics, the director thinks that half a year is too long to deal with the changes in the situation, and he asked me to discuss with you, shorten it to one month, and we don't know how to make judgments and analyses in the face of the Japanese intelligence collected." Smith said.

Lu Manyin, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, was stunned when she heard Smith's words, her man was actually cooperating with the US intelligence department, and it was the Japanese intelligence that cooperated, she felt very curious.

Where did an officer who graduated from a police academy and joined the military police have never had the experience of going abroad, and whose scope of activities is basically in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area, to become a consultant expert on Japanese issues in the US intelligence department? It's unbelievable!

"Grasping power in the form of a coup d'état and establishing a dictatorial system in the military department belongs to the concept of the imperial faction of the Japanese Army, and it belongs to the extreme ideology; needless to say, the incident that occurred on 26 February was a bloody counterattack by the imperial faction against the unification faction, and it was also a struggle for the ownership of the military department."

"The so-called unification faction is a faction that has the support of the Japanese emperor because the military department overrides everything else and establishes a fascist regime from top to bottom through foreign aggression, without touching the interests of all forces in Japan, and with relatively moderate means."

"Whether it is the unification faction or the imperial faction, the goal is the same, the pursuit of the military dictatorship and the establishment of a fascist regime, but the concept of achieving the goal is different. With this coup d'état, the command faction of the Japanese Army has seized the power of the military department, which will be very bad news for China and even for the world. ”

"As a faction dominated by aggression, the control faction has seized the power of the army this time, which also indicates that the war between China and Japan will slowly kick off, and Japan will complete its war preparations and launch aggression against China within one to two years." Han Lin said.

"Why do you say that it is the name of the Japanese unification faction, and that their idea of aggression will have an impact on the whole world?" Smith asked.

"Japan is a resource-poor country, and if they want to start a war, they have to rely on two strategic materials, you know what, right?" Han Lin asked with a smile.

"Oil and steel!" Smith nodded.

"That's right, the two lifeblood of the war are oil and steel, Japan itself has no such resources, China's oil reserves are very small, so small that gasoline can only be imported from abroad, and although China's iron ore production is a lot, but the quality is relatively low, which is why Japan is heavily dependent on the United States, and it is also the reason why they desperately want to occupy North China, which is rich in mineral resources."

"Then the question arises, since Japan does not have the resources needed for war in China, cannot maintain the concept of the unification faction, and is unwilling to be subject to Western countries for a long time, you should know what the future military trend of this country is, right?" Han Lin asked.

"Of course, it is to find countries that have these resources and launch another invasion." Smith said.

It is true that Han Lin's inference still needs time to be verified, and he doesn't believe that Japan dares to go to war with the United States, but Han Lin's logical thinking ability makes him very impressed, and he can't find a reason to refute it at all.

"If a larger war breaks out between Japan and China, will the U.S. government intervene in the war because its own interests are affected?" After Smith left, Lu Manyin asked.

"No, you see that the U.S. government has introduced the "Neutrality Act", but it has a very small impact on Japan, only restricting the export of weapons and equipment, and steel and oil are still being exported to Japan, which is the most critical strategic resource."

"The current isolationism in the US Congress, and the huge amount of trade between Japan and the United States, which cannot be compared with the Jinling government, will not give up their own interests, and as long as Japan's aggressive behavior does not really touch the interests of the United States, they will not take any restrictive measures."

"These Western powers do not feel the pain, and it is impossible to really take substantive measures to limit the war against Japan, although the top of the Jinling government fantasizes about being able to rely on Western countries to resist Japanese aggression, but this is in vain." Han Lin shook his head and said.
