Not long after returning home, night began to fall slowly, Han Lin, Lu Manyin, and the secretaries had dinner together in the restaurant, and he asked Wu Kuiyuan to boil water and prepare to make tea, saying that someone would come to the house as a guest.

"You've just returned to Shanghai, who will visit you at home?" Li Peiyue asked.

"Kagesa Akira!" Han Lin said with a smile.

"Aren't you going to meet him tomorrow morning?" Li Peiyue was even more strange.

"He knows the news of my return home, and will definitely come to visit me tonight, and if you don't believe me, let's make a bet." Han Lin said.

"I don't bet with you, I'll be the one who loses in the end!" Li Peiyue said with a smile.

Sure enough, at about eight o'clock, a car came to the gate of the Han house, the guard got the order, quickly opened the gate, the car drove into the yard and stopped under the steps, as soon as the door opened, Kagezo Zhenzhao, who was dressed in civilian clothes, got out of the car.

"Kagesa-kun, we haven't seen each other for three years since you returned to Japan, but your demeanor is still the same! I haven't congratulated you yet, but now he is the head of the Military Affairs Division of the Military Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of the Army, and he is favored by the Japanese military department, and he is only one step away from a major general. Han Lin smiled and shook hands with Ying Zuo Zhenzhao and said.

There is a reason why he said this, because Gao Zongwu was the first to contact Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, and this spy leader preemptively obtained the initiative for Wang Jingwei to surrender and betray the country, and played a vital role in promoting Wang's puppet government, and was favored by the Japanese military department.

When the Japanese side decided to support Wang Jingwei, the notorious spy leader Kenji Dohihara did not make any achievements in the Tuhihara organ he presided over, and instead became the commander of the Fifth Army of the Kwantung Army.

Because of his "merit" in supporting Wang Jingwei, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao was exceptionally promoted to the rank of major general and became the emperor of Wang's puppet government, and mastered the entire Central China region, that is, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui region, and the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou region, and then the spy work power in the areas around Jiangcheng.

For Han Lin, Kenji Dohihara is an experienced old spy leader, and it must be very tricky to deal with, but Kagesa Zhenzhao is different, the deep "friendship" established before can be highly trusted by Kagesa Zhenzhao.

"Han Jun, you haven't changed much, I heard that you are also rising step by step in the Jinling government, holding many important positions. This is the tea and lacquerware I brought from Japan, please Han Jun smile! Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao handed the gift in his hand to Han Lin.

"Of course I want to accept Kagesa-kun's gift, please come in!" Han Lin took the gift and invited Ying Zuo Zhenzhao to his living room.

There was no one else in the living room, Lu Manyin went to the bedroom on the second floor, Wu Kuiyuan and the secretaries went to stay in the small building next to them, these agents had a deep hatred for the Japanese, for fear that they couldn't help but twist off Kage Zuo Zhenzhao's head.

Han Lin made a pot of green tea, anyway, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao didn't make a special trip to "catch up".

"Han Jun is from Jiangcheng, how is the war in Jiangcheng?" Kagesa asked.

"There is no time for four or five months, I am afraid it will be difficult to distinguish the winner and loser, according to the battle situation, I judge that Jiangcheng will not be able to be saved, but after this big battle, Japan has no spare strength to continue the attack."

"In the face of huge military expenditures that exceed fiscal revenues, Japan's finances have reached an extremely dangerous critical point, and the attrition on the battlefield has also seriously weakened the strength of the Japanese army, and the two sides should present a long-term state of strategic confrontation." Han Lin said.

"You're right, I know that your intelligence channels are very extensive, and the letters you have sent me in the past few years have been of great help to me, and the judgments and analyses you have made have all come true, so I won't hide it from you."

"The empire is indeed very difficult to support, and this year's military expenditure is actually as high as more than 4 billion yen, and it is not yet at the end of the year, it is expected to be at least 6 billion, so although the war will continue, the strategy during the war must be adjusted in time." Kagesa said.

Military expenditures after the July 7 Incident last year were more than 3 billion yen, and in August this year, more than 4 billion yen were spent.

Although Japan's economic strength far surpassed that of China at this time, after all, it was a newly rising island country, and it did not have the strong war potential of Britain and the United States.

War Minister Sugiyama Moto, who was clamoring for a three-month settlement of the war in China, and Vice Minister Umezu Mijiro, two fools, were dismissed from their posts, and Seishiro Itagaki on the battlefield was transferred to the Minister of War, and another fool, Hideki Tojo, became Vice Minister of the Army and hatched a new conspiracy.

That is, while luring the Jinling government and President Chiang, while supporting the puppet regime in the occupied areas, stabilizing the situation in the occupied areas, plundering strategic materials and wealth to relieve the pressure of the war, and at the same time giving an explanation to the Japanese chaebols.

"Adjust your strategy? Do you Japanese want to support a new regime in the occupied areas to stabilize the situation and get the army out of the quagmire? Han Lin asked with a smile.

"Yes, you really have a strategic foresight, since the military force cannot destroy the Jinling government in a short period of time, and realize the strategy against China, you can only adopt this method, first handle the affairs of the occupied areas, and gradually complete the goal of assistance."

"The purpose of the empire's war was also to support each other and live in peace with China, and to help it economically and militarily to get rid of the unequal treaties of the Western powers and achieve real independence. At present, the government wants to fulfill its original promise in the occupied area, which requires a Chinese government to implement it, what do you think of the current restoration government? Kagesa asked.

Han Lin had admired Japan's achievements since the Meiji Restoration, and had always believed that only by learning from Japan's development model could the country become rich and strong.

He replaced Japan's aggression with the concept of assistance, which meant that Japan would make some practical moves in the occupied areas to alleviate Han Lin's hostility to Japan.

"It's just some echo worms like local chickens and dogs, they don't have any influence in the country, and they don't have the ability to govern the country, and I believe that the Japanese side is not very satisfied with their performance." Han Lin said.

The cunning and hypocrisy of the Japanese in Kage Zuo Zhenzhao's bones cannot be changed, he is engaged in international intelligence, and he actually uses such words to fool himself!

The problem is that within the scope of the occupied area, the other party has an advantage, and he can only be with Ying Zuozhen Zhaoxu and the snake, and he has to express his agreement, appropriate identification, this is his task and mission.
