Chapter 259: It's Hard
It's a bit messy.
Kagesa sat cross-legged with a solemn expression, and on the table in front of him were today's two newspapers.
One is the newspaper that was printed last night and sent out in the morning yesterday when the head of the Tufei Yuan Agency sent someone to assassinate Zhang Xiaolin.
One is the newspaper he sent someone to assassinate Zhang Xiaolin at noon, printed at noon, and sent out at night.
The two newspapers can tell Kagezo one thing, someone must be designing him now, trying to steer him in the wrong direction, and he needs to calmly analyze what is going on here.
The warehouse was stolen, and he was the first to suspect Kazukiyo Fujita.
There is no problem with this, Fujita and Qing are in charge of the gendarmerie, Zhang Xiaolin is in the business of Fushou cream, and he meddles in the Fushou paste market in Shanghai for the order of the staff headquarters, which damages Zhang Xiaolin's interests, and Zhang Xiaolin and Fujita Kazuqing have motives and strength.
Of course, Akio Tojo is also suspicious, and he also has the ability to open a gap in the security of Hongkou.
But Akio Tojo, who had been doing business outside of Shanghai, suddenly turned around and came to steal his warehouse, which is theoretically untenable.
There was no conflict between everyone, and a tacit understanding was reached to develop within and outside Shanghai in the occupying the drug market, and there was no need to grab the warehouse.
In fact, even Akio Tojo doesn't hurt.
At the scene of the crime, he took advantage of Fujita Kazukiyo's leadership responsibility for the safety of Hongkou, and under the fact that the warehouse was stolen, he forced Fujita Kazukiyo to find the goods with the will of the staff headquarters.
It was Fujita and Kiyoshi who stole it and sent it back obediently.
It was Akio Tojo who stole it, and Kazukiyo Fujita went to clean up Akio Tojo in order to clear his suspicion.
No matter how you calculate, he has no problem doing this, saving time and effort.
But now it seems that he knows a lot less than the other two.
It has even become someone else's pawn.
Kagezo looked at the newspaper on the left that had been stabbed by the Tu Fei Yuan faction.
The newspaper said that Tu Feiyuan sent people to rob Zhang Xiaolin's goods and sell them in Shanghai, which led to a battle between the two sides in the suburbs the night before yesterday, which led to the assassination of Zhang Xiaolin by Tu Feiyuan yesterday.
It's something Akio Tojo can do, and he doesn't seem to have heard about where Akio Tojo buys drugs from.
Then this thing is indeed true.
And when he clearly stated that he would report to the General Staff Headquarters, Fujita Kazukiyo still rejected his threat on the spot, which can also prove that Fujita Kazukiyo knew about it.
In the case that the two sides have already clashed, there is really no reason for Fujita Kazukiyo and Zhang Xiaolin's side to steal his warehouse again, but should focus on dealing with Tu Feiyuan's counterattack.
Looking at this newspaper alone, it was actually Akio Tojo who robbed his warehouse, because he had no goods in his hands.
Or he wants to deliberately point the finger at Fujita Kazukiyo, so that he can conflict with Fujita Kazukiyo and deal with Fujita Kazukiyo together.
Kagezo nodded slightly, this should be the case with this newspaper's analysis.
In the other one, Kagezo turns his head to the right.
He assassinated Zhang Xiaolin.
The purpose of this newspaper is obvious, and the person who published the newspaper wants to see this newspaper should certainly not be him, but Zhang Xiaolin and Fujita Kazukiyo.
Combined with the ransacking of the warehouse last night, it also seems reasonable for him to take revenge on Zhang Xiaolin, once again deepening the contradiction between him and Fujita Kazukiyo.
Fujita Kazuqing and Zhang Xiaolin thought that he did it, so the person who benefited was Tu Feiyuan.
Ying Zuo raised his eyebrows, two newspapers, different people assassinated Zhang Xiaolin, and it actually led to the same result.
Fooled, he shouldn't have made a bad deal with Fujita Kazukiyo, and he shouldn't have sent that telegram, and Kagesa was a little annoyed.
"Chief." Outside the door, there was the slightly anxious cry of his subordinates.
"Come in."
The subordinates moved the sliding door, and said solemnly when they entered the door: "The people of the Mitsui Club report that the seven Hongji Shan Halls, which we opened, were disrupted by a group of people of unknown origin, the scene was smashed, and some people were beaten.
And after the gang smashed it, they quickly fled, and the patrol arrived immediately after their footsteps, and found our stock of cigarettes, and now all the cigarettes have been confiscated and all have been brought back to the police station or patrol room.
According to the people at the scene, it should be a member of the Green Gang. ”
Ying Zuo frowned when he heard this, but muttered, "Is it really the Green Gang?" ”
"Isn't it?" The men were puzzled.
Ying Zuo didn't speak, he couldn't tell whether this was Zhang Xiaolin's Green Gang or the Green Gang that robbed the warehouse yesterday.
It seems like it's all possible.
"You go out first."
"What about our arrested people and seized goods? Shall I send someone to collect it? Without goods, there is no business. ”
"I'll take care of it, prepare the car, I'm going to the gendarmerie headquarters."
"Hey."
Kagesa felt the need to talk to Kazuki Fujita to resolve the misunderstanding and resolve the matter.
So he got up and went out.
Gendarmerie Command.
Jiro Miura, the commander of the military police, sat on the sofa and beckoned to Zhou Qinghe, who had just entered the door to say hello.
"Fujita, come and sit down, you can take a look at the telegram from the staff headquarters."
Zhou Qinghe walked over and took the telegram and sat down, the content of the telegram was not unexpected, Ying Zuo complained to the General Staff Headquarters, and the General Staff Headquarters asked him to cooperate with Ying Zuo to establish a large unified market for drugs in Shanghai.
Interestingly, for such a serious matter, the telegram sent by Kagesa to the General Staff Headquarters must have added fuel to the fire, and the reply from the General Staff Headquarters was not very harsh.
Even the first few sentences praised him for his contribution to Shanghai's economic recovery, and said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also praised him.
"What's going on, what's going on in this big unified drug market, and what else is there for you to cooperate with?" How does Jiro Miura feel that he is a commander who doesn't know anything.
"That's right"
Zhou Qinghe told him what happened, mainly about what Ying Zuo thought he had robbed the warehouse, and then told him the contents of the secret plan of the General Staff Headquarters, and then complained to the General Staff Headquarters about having this reply message.
"Secret plan? It's a great idea to get military money out of drugs, but I don't even know about it, so how do you know? ”
Miura Jiro frowned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, his brows furrowed more and more:
"The people of Mitsui Kaisha and Mitsubishi Kaisha have such a big move in Shanghai, they have to hide it from our gendarmerie headquarters, there is a problem, and then find you to solve it?
Isn't it too much for Dochimaru and the people over there to Kagesa!
Fujita, this kind of mistake must not be admitted! If the majority of the people in the General Staff, or even the decision-making level of the Five-Phase Conference, are to be silently thought that you are obstructing Shanghai's affairs, it will be very detrimental to your future promotion!
This matter must be made clear! ”
Jiro Miura had an angry look on his face, got up and walked to the desk to make a phone call.
He knew very well that his other purpose in coming to Shanghai was to escort Fujita and Kiyoto.
The family continues from generation to generation, and Fujita and Kiyona will be the backbone of their faction in the future, and they are definitely people who must be pushed to the generals, and there can be no stain on their resumes.
"Mei Agency? What about Kagesa? Let him answer the phone, right away! ”
Jiro Miura urged loudly, and then received a reply from the other side that Kagezo had come to the military police headquarters, so he hung up the phone with a snap.
"Remember, even if you do, you can't admit it." Jiro Miura admonished with a serious face.
"I really didn't do it." Zhou Qinghe smiled bitterly.
"Okay, I'll let him give you an explanation later."
After ten minutes of waiting, Kagesa arrived.
"Your Excellency." Kagesa nodded at Jiro Miura at the door.
"Come in." Miura Jiro didn't let him sit, but asked coldly: "Kagesa-kun, I received a telegram from the General Staff Headquarters, accusing Fujita of sabotaging Ling's operation, the telegram was sent by you, is there such a thing?" ”
Kagesa was embarrassed and said, "There is such a thing, but I'm not accusing Fujita-kun, but"
Shadow Zuo found that it was really difficult to ride a tiger now, and the wording was not easy to say, so he thought that since he had reached this point, he would simply beat Tu Feiyuan into an enemy.
So he continued: "Rather, it was misled. ”
"Misleading?"
"Yes." Kagezo turned his head and paused: "Fujita-kun, I apologize to you for this matter first, and I will explain it to the military department, but I hope you understand that this matter is not my problem, but someone is deliberately provoking the relationship between you and me."
"Oh?" Zhou Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "I don't know what Ying Zuojun means by this?" ”
"Here are the two newspapers I brought." Kagesa took out the newspaper in his hand and handed it over: "This incident was a misunderstanding from beginning to end. ”
Kagesa explained his opinion, and then expressed his dissatisfaction with the soil in words, and finally stated the main point.
"Things have come to such an extent that I feel that some people's methods are really bad, but now that I have learned the truth, for the sake of the smooth progress of the cause of the military department, I would like to invite Fujita-kun to complete this task with me.
In return, on the day it will be done, I will focus on Fujita-kun's contributions in my report to the military department. ”
Zhou Qinghe's face was very flat when he heard this, and he was really not interested in reacting, and said quite coldly: "I accept Yingzuo's apology, but I'm not interested in your plan." ”
"Why? This is an important task of the military department, and it has a bearing on the issue of military spending, to which the military department attaches great importance. ”
Ying Zuo Zhengzhao frowned, and asked puzzledly: "It is rumored that Zhang Xiaolin is Fujita-kun's person, do you really have any interests?" If you don't want to make a move, I'm afraid there will be some rumors. ”
Zhou Qinghe smiled indifferently: "Ying Zuojun, first of all, this is your task, not the task given to me by the military department, and secondly, Zhang Xiaolin can indeed be regarded as my person, and I also have interests with him."
For example, I promised him to facilitate his economic activities in Shanghai, and in return, his youth gang would provide all necessary assistance to the military police headquarters in maintaining the overall situation of peace and tranquility in Shanghai.
As for the tasks of the military department that you mentioned, why do I not cooperate, the reason is very simple, the military department also has a vital task for the military police command, that is, to maintain the overall situation of peace and tranquility in Shanghai, so as to provide stable economic benefits.
Speaking of which, I think what I said is clear enough, what you asked me to do was to let me destroy the relationship between me and Zhang Xiaolin, and force Zhang Xiaolin to spit out the benefits he had.
Your task is completed, I can even kill Zhang Xiaolin to help you complete the task.
What about my task? What about the tasks of the gendarmerie command? What about the tasks of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
As soon as Zhang Xiaolin died, the Green Gang was in chaos, and the pattern of Shanghai changed, and no one knew what would happen as a result.
Zhang Xiaolin is not dead, we forced him to spit out his interests, he held a grudge, and turned his head to contact Chongqing again.
Do you think it's up to me to decide?
There is a problem in Shanghai, who will bear this result? ”
Zhou Qinghe stood up and looked at Ying Zuo: "Since you know that Zhang Xiaolin has something to do with me, you didn't notify me when you carried out tasks related to him, and even assassinated Zhang Xiaolin twice, causing him to be seriously injured and lying in the hospital."
Have you ever thought about Shanghai's economy?
That's how many people put in a whole year's effort!
That is the result of the efforts of the entire Gendarmerie Command plus the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! ”
Zhou Qinghe paused after saying with a cold face, and said with a smile: "I killed him twice, but he didn't die, and then asked me to come to the door and tell him, let your business out, and still cooperate with us in the future, is that so?"
Don't say that I won't help you, I can say it, and even if I say it, let me kill Zhang Xiaolin.
But for one thing, because this incident triggered the situation in Shanghai, you will bear any bad results.
If you don't have any opinions, you can go upstairs and send a report now, get permission to operate from the General Staff Headquarters, and I will go to the hospital today and kill him with my own hands.
I'm a doctor, it's easy.
Back then, General Dohi Yuan and Commander Matsui personally went to the three leaders of the Green Gang and asked them to help us do things, but they didn't talk about it.
I talked about it.
Saying that I don't cooperate for the sake of interests, I do it myself, is it enough to show that I attach importance to your plan? ”
Kagesa knew the complexity and difficulty of this matter, and could only return disappointed.
Kazukiyo Fujita said that this matter did not need to be reported to the staff headquarters at all, because no boss would take this responsibility, and he knew this very well.
If it were him, he would not accept such a request from his subordinates.
A better boss, such as Lu Xiang behind him, will make him think of other ways.
If he is not a close boss, he will encourage him to do it boldly, but he will not give any written acknowledgement.
Alas, in the final analysis, the nature of Tu Feiyuan's assassination is too bad, otherwise he opened a store and slowly figured it out, and the commercialization behavior encroached on Zhang Xiaolin's territory little by little, and Fujita and Qing couldn't say anything.
Even if you want to say something, you can make money with anger.
Kagesa is dissatisfied with Tohi Yuan, but for explaining the last telegram to the military department, he should send it back, although Fujita Kazukiyo did not agree to help him, but at least he does not need to have a bad relationship with Fujita Kazukiyo, it is really unnecessary.
As soon as he left, Jiro Miura snorted coldly: "Fujita, you have to insist on this, this matter has nothing to do with us, Shanghai's economy and stability, that is our responsibility, and all actions that violate this point must be curbed."
Even if their actions affect our mission, we must contain them, and we should not be afraid of punishment, I will say to the staff headquarters. ”
"I understand, thank you, I'm going to reply to the General Staff Headquarters, tell them what I just said, let them decide for themselves, and some people in the province say that we don't contribute."
It feels good for someone to carry it on this head, Shanghai, just drag it slowly.
Delay a day counts as a day, there is no hurry.
"Well, I should say." Jiro Miura nodded: "Not only to talk to the military department, but also to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you go to Hase Incheon, lest at the five-phase meeting, what the land minister behind the shadow says, no one will help us speak, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will definitely be on our side in this matter." ”
"Okay, I'll go there later, and I just happen to have a medical examination for Mr. Hase."
"Then make one for me too."
"Okay, you're actually in good health."
Safe house, Sasaki is sending a telegram to the Kwantung Army headquarters in Mukden.
The two things explained by the director of the agency were successfully completed, and the news came from Akio Tojo that Kazukiyo Fujita and Seiaki Kagesa had an unpleasant quarrel at the place where the crime occurred, which was very comfortable and the result was very satisfying.
Although there was an accident when he assassinated Zhang Xiaolin, for example, Zhang Xiaolin was assassinated in advance, but what he heard was that it was done by the military commander, and some said that it was done by the head of the agency, which is really funny, none of their people have made a move, it can only be that the military commander did it.
So since they have already wronged the head of the agency, it can be regarded as a prophecy if it is confirmed, and if you want to blame, blame the newspaper for talking nonsense.
The telegram described that two things were going well, and then at the end of the telegram, Sasaki also mentioned that Zhang Xiaolin had been assassinated by the military commander once, and then the telegram was finished.
The Mukden organ has a telegraph room that copies telegrams 24 hours a day, so you can receive a reply at an interval of 15 minutes or half an hour after sending it.
Half an hour later, Sasaki received a call back.
"Q: When did the assassination of the military commander take place? What is the order of the other two things? ”
Sasaki looked at the translated message and wondered, thinking that the head of the agency would briefly praise him, who knew that the problem was so strange.
But the answer was easy, and Sasaki thought about it, and casually asked the dispatcher to go back.
Mukden Organ.
Tu Feiyuan looked cold, and stayed in the telegraph room and didn't leave.
As soon as he saw Zhang Xiaolin's assassination by the military commander, he felt that something was wrong.
When the translated message arrived in his hand, the guess in Tu Feiyuan's heart became more and more ugly.
Akio Tojo and Zhang Xiaolin's men have a fight, and the members of the task force go to steal the warehouse of Seiaki Kagesa.
Seiaki Kagesa will suspect Fujita Kazukiyo at the first time, and turn to befriend Fujita Kazuki and Zhang Xiaolin.
Standing in the field of vision of Seiaki Kagesa, Seiaki Kagesa will only have this judgment, and will never doubt that Akio Tojo, who is honestly developing outside Shanghai, has been honest for more than a month.
Zhang Xiaolin is the one whose interests are damaged, don't you suspect who he suspects?
But this seemingly military assassination happened to appear on the eve of the sneak attack on the warehouse, which ruined everything!
Zhang Xiaolin's assassination, Fujita Kazukiyo's reaction, and Kagesa Seiaki knew the order of the incident, and all the information cages would be broken in an instant.
Seiaki Kagesa, woke up.
Scrapped, all scrapped.
It doesn't matter at all whether it was the assassination of the military commander or not, and even Dochidoka suspected that it was an assassination arranged by Fujita Kazukiyo himself, but it didn't matter.
The assassination one day later, that was the unfolding of Zhang Xiaolin by Kagezo Seizhao in retaliation for the sneak attack on the warehouse.
The assassination of the day before could only be him.
One trick to blame the trouble, completely turned into a basin buckled on his head.
The whip is beyond the reach of the whip.
If he had gone to Shanghai the day before yesterday and learned about the assassination, he would definitely have stopped all the plans, and then went directly to Fujita Kazukiyo, saying that this was Kagesa's blame, and he didn't know what Akio Tojo had done.
To show his sincerity, he would ask Akio Tojo to apologize, and then everyone would withdraw from Shanghai and concentrate on doing business in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
It doesn't matter if Fujita Kazukiyo accepts it or not, believe it or not, because he will do it, and Fujita Kazukiyo can't chase him out and beat him.
Then what remains is the battle of Shanghai between Fujita and Kagesa.
"Some people are obedient, but they won't be flexible, idiots."
Alas, the doppelganger lacks skill.
The future chairman of the new government, Wang Wang, is still in Hanoi, waiting for him to finalize the content of the agreement and the package.
This matter also needs to be discussed.
"How's the interrogation room?"
"I've already been sentenced, and no one has admitted it so far, and I can basically tell where I went during that time period."
If you can't find this spy, it seems that the possibility of intelligence leaking here is really unlikely, so the rest may be that high-level information in China has been leaked.
"You continue to investigate, I'm going back to Shanghai."
Tu Feiyuan can't stay any longer, he can't stay for a moment, once Kagesa and Fujita reach an agreement, the two wastes in Shanghai, no, are three wastes, and together they are not enough for those two people to fight in one move.
