Chapter 1018: The Fall of the Prophecy
In the past, there was such a special existence as the concession, and the activities of the latent organizations could be greatly facilitated, and the status of Shanghai was special, which was the leader of the economy, industry and commerce, and finance, and also played a major role in the anti-Japanese war of the Shancheng government.
President Jiang was unwilling to give up the largest international city in the Far East, so he wanted the Military Unification Bureau to make some noise, so that the people in Shanghai could see hope.
The situation in the Shanghai concession area has changed, and Boss Dai knows it in his heart, but he is far away in the mountain city and does not know the speed of deterioration of the concession, and it has reached such a point.
The police department in the concession could not resist the pressure of the Japanese puppet, and the patrol room was seriously infiltrated, and they still had hope in the Shanghai urban area, and in order to complete the tasks assigned by President Jiang and reflect the value of the Military Command Bureau, they did not want to stop the work in the Shanghai urban area and could not explain to President Jiang.
Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, this is also the only thing Han Lin can do, and he will not care about the life or death of Shanghai City in the future, the director of the special service department is worried about the work of the Military Command Bureau, it is boring to talk too much, and without the help of his assistant, the Military Command Bureau will still be transferred.
Tick, beep, car horns sounded outside the gate.
Han Lin instructed Wu Kuiyuan to make tea, stood up and walked outside the living room to greet him, a car drove to the bottom of the steps and stopped, and as soon as the door opened, Shadow Zuozhen Showa and Qingqi Qingyin got out of the car.
Originally, Han Lin called Ying Zuo Zhenzhao and wanted to make an appointment to have dinner together in the evening, but Ying Zuo Zhenzhao didn't have the same mind, saying that he would come to his house to have a cup of tea and chat after eating.
At present, Japan's military and political circles, because of the southward expansion plan, are very bitten, and it also involves the strategic adjustment of the Wang puppet government, and there is a strong internal contradiction between the dispatch army and the military department, and Kagesashi Zhenzhao is eager to get further news from Han Lin.
"Shadow Zo-kun, Qingqi-kun, welcome to your home." Han Lin shook hands with the two with a smile and invited the two into the living room to sit down.
Looking at the swaying Wu Kuiyuan pouring tea for herself, there was also a moment of obsession in Qingqiqingyin's eyes, the person was beautiful, and the figure was extremely hot, especially the undulating parts of the mountains, people were a little dizzy to see, and there was never a shortage of beauties around Han Lin.
As long as it is a human being, there are shortcomings, Han Lin likes money and prefers beautiful women, which is also a common problem of men, and the close relationship between him and Liao Yaquan is not a secret in the secret service.
"Han Jun, you wear many hats in the Shancheng government, but you are very busy, how can you have time to come to Jinling this time?" Qingqi Qingyin asked with a smile.
"I was really busy some time ago, your Japanese Army Aviation Third Flying Regiment actually found the exact location of the official residence of the commission, bombed the official residence, and then the secret service sent people to the official residence to assassinate them, two, I am the chief of the special services of the Military Commission, I have not received information, and no matter how effective the protection is, something really has to happen, I will not be shot and I will spend the rest of my life in prison." Han Lin said.
"This is an action planned by the Advisory Department of the Special High School and the Third Flying Regiment, and it has nothing to do with our Mei Agency, and His Excellency the General only found out about the inside story after the fact, but in this matter, His Excellency the General has his own difficulties, I hope Han Jun can understand. The Advisory Department is an institution of the Special High Division, which is under the direct control of General Dohihara, and our Mei Agency does not interfere in their work. Qingqi Qingyin said.
"I can really understand that you are the Japanese secret service, I am the intelligence department of the Yamashiro government, each has its own position, no one can say that the air raids and assassinations are wrong, this is a contest between the state and the state, the secret service does everything, I think it is normal." Han Lin said.
"Han Jun, the diplomatic negotiations between Japan and the United States have not progressed for a long time, and when I went to the Japanese military department to report on my work, I heard that the top brass of the military department was very dissatisfied with Prime Minister Konoe's single-minded pursuit of negotiations to resolve the dispute, and constantly put pressure on Prime Minister Konoe, what do you think of this matter?" Kagesa asked.
"The thing is obvious, Konoe Fumiro did not dare to start a war against the United States when he was prime minister, Japan is an island country with few resources, and it needs to bear the pressure of the two battlefields of China and Southeast Asia, and it cannot afford to consume it at all, as a rising industrial country, the family cannot withstand the toss of war."
"Fumiro Konoe knew that he could not resist the determination of the military department to go to war, so the final result was that the Konoe cabinet had to fall and be replaced by someone from the military department as prime minister, and I dare say that by the middle of this month, this will happen, and the prime minister who will take over may be the Minister of War Hideki Tojo."
"Hideki Tojo's command ability and strategic ability are not very good, and he does not have an outstanding record, compared to Ishihara Waner, he is still far behind, but he is a member of the main battle faction of the military department, and he will not be resisted by the military department, the first position is much more stable than the previous ones, and this person has strong execution, which is the main reason for being selected." Han Lin said.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe and Foreign Minister Sadajiro Toyoda tried their best to avoid settling disputes with the United States through war, because they knew in their hearts that the final winner of the war between Japan and the United States was definitely not Japan, and the Konoe cabinet could not afford such a great responsibility.
But the military department, which is the main battle faction, can no longer bear it, and the nature of aggression makes them impatient to implement the southward expansion plan, and they do not hesitate to start a war with Britain and the United States for this purpose. In order to achieve its own goals, the military department will force Konoe Fumiji to resign and completely control the cabinet.
It's not that these people are stupid and stupid characters, and they don't take into account the gap between Japan and the United States, and the reason why they can't wait to start a war is also the result of the pattern of World War II.
The crux of the matter is that they believe that the US strategy is to put Europe first and then Asia, and that there is no superfluous force to deploy in Southeast Asia, and as long as it completes its occupation of Southeast Asia, obtains Southeast Asian resources, gets rid of its dependence on the United States, and stabilizes the situation, the US Government can only choose to solve the problem through negotiation in the end.
"If this is really the case, what I am most worried about has happened, the US government has not intervened much in the war between our Empire of Japan and China, in fact, the trade between the two sides is normal, and now we should concentrate on solving China's problems, since the 77 Incident, the four years of war have made the empire breathless, and one more front has been added, I am very worried that the empire will not be able to hold on." Kagesa said.
He has always believed that it is very difficult for Japan's national strength to solve the problems of the Chinese battlefield, so he and the top officials of the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army all believe that Japan should not easily expand the war, which will lead to the further dispersion and consumption of troops and resources.
Moreover, the strength of the United States is obvious to all, and Japan wants to force the United States to make concessions in the form of war, unless a miracle happens, usually once the war starts, it cannot stop.
"Han Jun, is it true that negotiations can't solve the problem?" Qingqi Qingyin asked.
"Qingqi-kun, you know, this is a paradox, if Japan does things according to the intentions of the United States, trade will definitely return to normal quickly, and the United States will still provide steel and oil, including the resources that Japan needs, but all the manpower and material resources invested in the war over the years have come to naught."
"If Japan chooses to go to war, it will be able to obtain the rich resources of Southeast Asia, such as oil, rubber, steel, and rare metals, and get rid of the resource constraints of the United States in one fell swoop, but in this way, it will become mortal enemies with Britain and the United States, and the two sides must decide their fate by war."
"There is no solution to this problem, especially in today's general environment, if Japan wants to acquire colonies, resources, and hegemony in Asia, it has no choice but to go to war, and even if it agrees to the conditions of the United States in a short time, war will inevitably break out in the future."
"This is a world war, and no one knows how long the complicated situation will last, so there is no hope of success in the diplomatic negotiations between Japan and the United States from the beginning." Han Lin said.
