Chapter 272: Alliance
Before anyone arrives, the call arrives first.
The housekeeper of Yasuda's family received a call from the prime minister's house, saying that he had come to see Kazukiyo Fujita to see a doctor and see if it was convenient.
Convenience is convenience, and when you hear this, you will know that you are not here to see a doctor, and when the prime minister needs to see a doctor in person, he needs to go to the doctor's home to see him.
Zhou Qinghe and Kenichi Yasuda glanced at each other.
"Something?"
"Nine times out of ten."
With the same opinion, Kenichi Yasuda first asked people to clean the private room and prepare refreshments and incense.
"What do you think he's here for?" Kenichi Yasuda was a little puzzled.
Zhou Qinghe couldn't figure it out, anyway, he would know when he came.
The two sat on the sofa and waited, and twenty minutes later, the car drove into Yasuda Manor in a low-key manner.
"I'm a little sick to my stomach, so I'm looking for Dr. Fujita to help me take a look and introduce my son, Fumitaka Konoe."
After some shh
"I heard Wenlong say, Heqing, you used to work in Shanghai?"
"Yes, as the head of the gendarmerie brigade of the gendarmerie command."
"Shanghai is a big port, which occupies a very important position in the country's tax revenue and future prospects, and Shanghai's economy is getting better and better, and your military police command has made a great contribution.
But when I was having dinner today, Wenlong told me that Shanghai doesn't seem to be quiet lately, do you know why? ”
When Zhou Qinghe heard this, he heard something about it, he heard about it after eating, and he came over after listening, which was obvious, but it was not easy to judge what Konoe was thinking in his heart.
So Zhou Qinghe told the truth, talked about the recent events in Shanghai, and his worries about the imminent chaos, mainly highlighting a dissatisfaction and sigh that he was worried about the country and the people, and that the good situation was about to be destroyed.
"Some people in the military department have really gone too far." Kenichi Yasuda set the tone with an accent.
"They have completely forgotten how to make a country very good, how to solve the problems of people's livelihood, and they want to keep asking for military funds to fight, but they don't know that all industries in the country have withered.
Yasuda-kun, your Yasuda family is a bank, so you should be very clear about this. ”
Kenichi Yasuda frowned slightly and nodded.
"At present, the domestic economic situation is really bad, residents' deposits have been declining, but the business atmosphere has not improved, and the lack of labor has also made the domestic economy fall into decline, and it is difficult to see any economic growth points for the time being."
"I want to do some reforms." Konoe Wenma looked at the two of them with burning eyes: "First of all, it is to target the military department. ”
Ken Yasuda paused: "How do you need our Yasuda family to contribute, you can say it directly." ”
"There's just no good way." Konoe Funma sighed: "I chose the land minister, but the land minister has his own ideas and doesn't want to listen to the orders of the cabinet."
At present, the army and the businessmen behind them are collectively connected too closely, and the interests are pushing them all the way forward, and they are about to get out of control. ”
Konoe Wenma looked at Zhou Qinghe, "I came this time, in fact, I have an idea, with Heqing as the banner, gather a group of people, not to mention the faction that completely suppresses the interests of some businessmen, at least it can be divided, so that the military department does not have only one voice." ”
"I'm coming?" Zhou Qinghe was shocked, hesitated and was about to speak.
Kenichi Yasuda was the first to speak: "I'm afraid this thing is difficult, Prime Minister, the people supported by Mitsui-Mitsubishi's faction have controlled the War Department for a long time, let Fujita Kazukiyo provoke them, first, the probability of success is very low, and second, you should know that Kazukiyo is a doctor, there is no need to do these things." ”
Konoe Furuma nodded and directly threw out the conditions: "I know that it is very difficult, and the consequences of failure may also have some adverse effects on Heqing's development in the military department."
So I promised that as long as the Yasuda family is willing to intervene in this matter and fully support me in changing the status quo of the military department, I can promise on behalf of the aristocratic community that even if the result is not as good as we thought, I can make Fujita Kazukiyo the Minister of Health of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”
The conditions are given, and the consequence of failure is to ensure that the Yasuda family can get the benefits of the health system, which is very willing.
Kenichi Yasuda turned his head and asked, "It's still your own business, what do you think?" ”
Zhou Qinghe nodded slightly: "I am willing to contribute." ”
Konoe Bunma was overjoyed, and the first level was passed.
Then the next step is how to integrate forces and launch an attack on the Mitsui Mitsubishi faction in the military headquarters.
"Lu Xiang, the deputy chief, and the Kwantung Army are all their people, and their strength is still too strong." Ken Yasuda sighed one by one.
I have long wanted to pry into the interests of the military department, isn't this helpless to dig up?
I can only think about it.
Konoe Fumima smiled bitterly: "It's still my reason, I personally chose the candidate, and I didn't know that their vision was so short-sighted." ”
A few people could only smile bitterly.
Silence or silence.
Thinking about the way, Kenichi Yasuda's eyes suddenly lit up: "There is." ”
"What?" Fumima Konoe raised his eyes.
Kenichi Yasuda smiled slightly: "This move is a bit fierce, it may require you to take a little risk, Prime Minister, but it should be controllable." ”
"You said."
"Resign."
"Resignation" Konoe Fumima was suddenly stunned as he spoke, and then thought about it and said: "Are you trying to use the bill, use my resignation, and bring down the cabinet?" ”
Ken Yasuda nodded: "The bill clearly stipulates that if any one of the five prime ministers announces his resignation, the cabinet will collapse immediately, as long as you announce your resignation, the position of land minister will be removed directly, and the position will be vacant." ”
"And what's next?"
Kenichi Yasuda raised his eyebrows: "You talk to the people of the House of Nobles, and appoint a person to be the prime minister in advance, and the candidates for the prime minister are basically in the aristocratic group, you can pick your henchmen at will and help them to take the position, this is the risk I said, but it should be controllable, what do you think?" ”
Konoe Funma nodded slightly, he was the head of the Five Regent Families, the last Speaker of the House of Nobles, and it was not a problem to choose someone.
"Go on."
Kenichi Yasuda continued: "And the new prime minister will take office, reorganize the cabinet, and we can choose who is the prime minister.
Of course, they will still fight for the position of Lu Xiang, there are too many people in the Mitsui Mitsubishi faction, and the people with real power are basically in their hands.
But it doesn't matter, as long as it's still their people, we will continue to resign as prime ministers until Lu Xiang becomes someone we are happy with.
It's okay if you're not satisfied, every time you fall, it will cause a change in position, so we can take the opportunity to compete for some key positions.
Then, you're good to go. ”
Konoe Fumima couldn't help but glance at Kenichi Yasuda, the businessman was a little dirty.
Resign without saying a word, such a disgusting operation can be played.
However, this trick can indeed be played, because although the military department is not in the hands of the royal family, the position of the prime minister is firmly controlled.
"Then what reason do I use to resign?"
Resignation will arouse public criticism, which is not a glorious thing.
This proves that either the prime minister is not capable of leading the country, or the prime minister is not capable of controlling the cabinet, and it is not good to say.
"I'm sick and need to recuperate." Kenichi Yasuda smiled: "Didn't you just finish your physical examination?" ”
Konoe Wenmo raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zhou Qinghe and smiled, and nodded: "This is a good idea." ”
After discussing other matters, the two guards took their leave.
After going out and getting into the car, Fumitaka Konoe asked his father: "It's very risky to do this, you resigned as prime minister, what if you can't get it back?" ”
Konoe Funma chuckled: "If you can't get it back, it means that this crater will definitely explode, so wouldn't it be better for me to leave early?" ”
With the credit of using China to control China, which laid the credit for the division of Vice Chairman Wang and Chiang's regime in Chongqing, he will not have a bad reputation if he leaves now.
It's a good idea, and it's a good idea.
Inside the estate.
Zhou Qinghe and Kenichi Yasuda watched the vehicle go.
Kenichi Yasuda smiled and said, "Don't care what he wants to do, let's help our people get on the top first, control the position, you don't rush in front of the too much, see how the situation changes."
As the head of the five regents and the prime minister, the Konoe clan was pressed like this by the military department, and his ability can only be said to be average. ”
"I understand."
"Okay."
The plan has been decided, and the next thing is to wait for Konoe's resignation and see what reaction it will provoke.
In a few days, Zhou Qinghe studied medical skills as usual, and Konoe was probably busy preparing for a replacement, and he also contacted Yasuda Ken a few times during this period, preparing for someone to be promoted to the position.
Half a month later, Konoe could not pass the military spending bill through the military department, and asked the military department to cut the budget, and a serious conflict broke out between the cabinet and the land minister, and then angrily announced his resignation.
As soon as the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar.
Konoe was the first person to be satisfied with the three worlds of politics, business, and the military, and he was the head of the noble duke's family in the eyes of the Japanese people, and such people actually resigned.
There are big problems with the state.
The impact of the resignation was too bad, and the Konoe's reputation among the people had always been very good, and the people in the military department had ugly faces and tried to get the Konoe back to work, but the Konoe was resolute.
As a result, the remaining four ministers were resigned on the spot.
The new cabinet needs to be organized urgently.
A day later, the President of the Privy Council took over at a time of crisis and began to form a Cabinet.
Konoe was very satisfied, and came to Yasuda's house to drink tea and chat.
"I have already told him that he will do his best to promote our people to the position of land minister."
The words were still in my ears, and a day later, the new cabinet was formed, and the five phases appeared, and the guards were directly dumbfounded.
The choice of land minister remains unchanged.
The guards were stabbed in the back, and in the back of a hand-picked man.
Kenichi Yasuda called him to ask him what the situation was, and he roared directly on the phone: "He betrayed me!" Someone saw him and the people of the Mitsui family talking and laughing together! ”
Okay, Yasuda Kenichi shook his head helplessly at Zhou Qinghe and said, "I know why he was so badly suppressed by the military department." ”
Just pick a henchman, who can still be a member of the Mitsui family, is really a talent.
However, this incident can also show the penetration of the chaebol into the high-level in Japan, which is powerful, and put Konoe together, Mitsui is really powerful, and Zhou Qinghe also has to sigh.
The guard came to the manor with a calm face at night, and he couldn't just leave this matter at that.
Although the position of prime minister was hacked, in fact he was not a loss, and he knew that it was a powder keg to continue.
Sooner or later, it's going to blow up, it's nothing more than a feeling of unhappiness about betrayal.
The traitor knew about his plan, and now Mitsui's people don't know how to laugh at him.
Sitting at the table, the guard said with a calm face: "Several duke commanders support me, I'm sure, he just stood with Mitsui's people, my people are also dissatisfied with his betrayal, he doesn't have this power, he betrayed me, he can only be a puppet of the Mitsui family through and through." ”
"There's no need to rush now."
Zhou Qinghe said: "The situation in Shanghai will definitely go wrong, and someone will be responsible at that time, and now since we can't change the candidate for the prime minister, and the plan to replace the prime minister can't be implemented, then we will start with Shanghai, let Shanghai's thunder explode first, and I tend to replace the head of the China Division." ”
"How did it explode? When will it explode? What if it doesn't explode? The ability of the soil is actually not bad, what if he solves it? Konoe asked.
Zhou Qinghe looked at Konoe Wenlong: "I think you can contribute to this matter, you should also have some agents in the Tongwen Academy in Shanghai, right?" ”
Fumitaka Konoe nodded: "I don't have many people, what do you want to do?" ”
"Of course you detonated this mine."
Konoe Furuma has a bad temper in the past two days, and his tone is a little impulsive: "You sent a telegram to your people, just for one purpose, to make Shanghai chaotic, let the people of the soil and the gang fight, the more fierce the fight, the better, they fight, you take the opportunity to make trouble, so that Shanghai becomes as chaotic as possible."
You can pretend to be a Chongqing agent, an explosion, an assassination, you can. ”
Not to mention, the fussy Konoe Wenma is very ruthless, and he wants to make the villain who betrayed him anxious.
"Prime Minister is not so easy to be! I see where he will get his 6 billion military spending. ”
Once Shanghai is in chaos, it will be even worse.
"Explosives aren't easy to do right now." Fumitaka Konoe muttered.
Kenichi Yasuda smiled slightly: "I can contact my friends in the navy and ask the naval command in Shanghai to support you a little." ”
"That's fine." Fumitaka Konoe smiled and nodded.
The problem was solved, and Konoe Funma looked at Zhou Qinghe:
"Heqing, do you still have any contact with that gang member, let their people cooperate with Wenlong, don't hurt Wenlong's people by mistake."
Zhou Qinghe snorted, "Then I will also send a telegram back, so that the people from the gendarmerie headquarters can also cooperate with you." ”
"That's for the best."
The helper expanded again, and Zhou Qinghe didn't expect that this thunder would be detonated by the Japanese himself, and it was the son of the former prime minister.
Really, really, exciting.
borrowed the radio station of the Konoe family to send a telegram back, and the Shanghai drama was about to start singing.
Shanghai, Hongkou, Kabuki Hall.
Akio Tojo was drinking a lot of alcohol with a smile.
This is the day without Fujita Kazukiyo, as smooth as it gets.
First of all, he became the captain of the gendarmerie, and now he is a real gendarmerie captain, not a squad leader under Fujita and Kiyoshi, and the power is very different.
The second is the drug program.
Without Fujita and Kiyoshi these times, the members of the Green Gang have fought back, such as attacking their drug distribution center in Pudong and Hongji Pharmacy in Zhabei.
But in the face of their spears, the people of the Green Gang only dared to make a small fuss, which had no effect at all.
In front of them, except for the concessions, it can be said that the large-scale sales of drugs are all controlled by them.
It's so easy to get this money.
Not only was he happy, but General Dohi Yuan was also very happy, and he praised Fujita and Kiyoshi again and again for being really good.
While drinking wine and watching the beautiful women on the stage dance, the door was removed, and the military police hurriedly reported: "Captain, there was an explosion in Zhabei and a pharmacy was bombed. ”
"Yaga!"
Akio Tojo slammed the wine glass on the table and stood up angrily: "The people of the Green Gang actually dare to use explosives? It's really looking for death! ”
I was in no mood to watch the play, so I went out and rushed to the accident site in a hurry.
Looking at the pharmacy that was almost in ruins, and several mutilated bodies were lying on the ground, Akio Tojo was cloudy: "Are you all idiots? Let you check it closely! Strict inspection! How could the people of the Green Gang be allowed to transport explosives into Zhabei! ”
The gendarme immediately apologized, "We have investigated very strictly, it may be that the people of the Green Gang have already existed in Zhabei." ”
"Rubbish! Pack up and open as soon as possible. ”
Killed by the bombing, this affects the performance a lot, Akio Tojo was about to leave with a stinky face, and was getting into the car, there was a huge earthquake on the ground, Akio Tojo raised his eyes, and saw a dense scream from a street away.
"Yaga! Just go! ”
A squad of military police officers in Japanese military uniforms led the way to another street in a tricycle.
It's the same, ruins, dead people.
"Yaga! Yaga! Yaga! I'm going to kill Zhang Xiaolin! Back to the concession! ”
Akio Tojo's bad mood is speechless, this matter, even if Zhang Xiaolin is hiding in the concession, it is not easy to pass.
It is not easy for Zhang Xiaolin to assassinate by hiding at home, but there are so many people in the Green Gang, how many of them work and live in Zhabei? Isn't that just killing?
However, as soon as the car started, there was a boom, and another street next door blew up!
"Eight Ga Ya Road!"
Akio Tojo is going crazy, galloping all the way and scolding angrily, what is Zhang Xiaolin crazy now, and suddenly started this kind of serial bombing.
Is this going to break the net with him?
"It's self-defeating!"
The location is unsurprising, another bombed pharmacy, and another ruins and corpses.
"Where did they get so many explosives! Yaga, you shit! ”
The slap of the gendarme under Akio Tojo's fan.
"Hey!"
The gendarmes did not dare to hide, and the angle of the fan was shifted, and they had to automatically move back so that they could be fanned again.
"Let all the pharmacies be vigilant, go and find out who is doing this."
Akio Tojo must find out this group of people, and be ashamed!
He also had to go to Zhang Xiaolin and threaten him.
But it didn't work, the battle began.
The explosion had just begun, it was done by the Japanese themselves, and Zhang Xiaolin hadn't even started to move.
Examine? Check the fart, the Japanese themselves went back to the naval headquarters to hide.
The Navy Headquarters is in Zhabei, and there is no need to enter the rental area at all, how can you check?
As for Zhang Xiaolin, he was in charge of the concession of Nanshi and Pudong.
Let's go.
Zhang Xiaolin took the message sent to him by Zhou Qinghe and read it again and again.
It's waiting left and right, and finally waiting for the signal.
Don't look at the time is short, but the days are like years.
"You guys have to be a little brighter, we not only have to show the Japanese color, but we also have to take advantage of it first, so ah, we have to grab this Japanese drug warehouse.
This Japanese is not a warehouse for drugs, as long as it is valuable, we will also rob it. ”
"What if it's worthless?" The subordinate asked.
Zhang Xiaolin sneered: "Then you will smoke a cigarette." ”
"Got it."
"What if you can't order it?"
"Then you'll smoke a thunderbolt."
"Got it."
"Remember, rob things, don't care what gendarmes are or not, but all the Japanese, related to the Japanese, warehouses, grain, companies they run, whatever they rob, give me all the robbers.
The car is arranged, the retreat route must be arranged, don't go through a lot of effort to grab it for a long time, but you can't bring it back, then I'll give you a fucking big mouth for you to taste.
Bring your guns! Don't save bullets, if someone dares to obstruct it, kill me hard! ”
"Yes!" The morale of his subordinates is like a dragon.
These days are miserable, the drug business is gone, and how many people have no food.
Even if the leaders on their side don't get to the point where they don't have food to eat, then they won't have the money to watch the dance.
Some things can be endured, and some things can be done for the Japanese.
But if you don't give money, it's not okay if the king of heaven comes!
