There is certainly no way for his subordinates to answer this kind of question.

Tu Feiyuan didn't pin his hopes on them.

The plan fails, and after the anger is over, it is still necessary to solve the problem.

The intensity of the Chinese's counterattack was somewhat excessive.

The stress response was a little more than he could have imagined.

As soon as they used force to search the city, they actually forced Chongqing and the Red Party to hide and only dare to fight guerrilla troops to take the initiative to fight to the death.

It's going to be hard to succeed tonight's cutting plan.

"The head of the agency, the phone from the military camp outside the city, said that the Chinese army was fighting back fiercely, and asked when we would be able to return the manpower."

"Let them solve it themselves, it's not that they can't beat it."

"Won't you pay it back?"

"What else? I said the operation was over? ”

"Hey."

Tonight's operation was not perfect, but it was not without results.

The more this happened, the more necessary it was for Tu Feiyuan to carry on with the whole thing.

Since the army outside the city is the person who is nervous inside, then you can change your thinking, and this becomes a bait.

As long as he suppresses the people in the city, and then takes the opportunity to eliminate the Chinese army outside the city, the Chinese army has wanted to be defeated for a long time, but the Chinese army only fights guerrillas, not frontal battles, so there has been no chance of total annihilation.

But now, isn't this fighter coming out?

The opportunity is fleeting.

And once the people outside are cleared, and then go back to deal with the dirty guys in the city, the backhand is another wave of total annihilation.

Tu Feiyuan thought it was very interesting, and these two things were actually linked at a clever angle.

"Mr. Hase, the head of the agency, is visiting." The subordinates slid the door to report.

"Please come in."

"Tu Fei Yuanjun, the phone calls of reporters and consulates of various countries are about to blow up the phone numbers of our consulates, and Shanghai is a pot of porridge, why no one told me what happened!"

Hase-Incheon had an angry expression on his face when he entered the door, "Is it that now the military department doesn't need to notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for anything?" Then you can ask the military department to propose to the cabinet that the consulate in Shanghai be withdrawn. ”

Hasei Incheon really doesn't like Tu Fei Yuan, his military rank is high, and he is the head of the secret service, he can't move his training, Tu Fei Yuan's mouth is firm, and he does things with him, as a person who cooperates, it's too uncomfortable.

Tu Feiyuan smiled unhurriedly: "The Chinese are very dissatisfied with our drug plan, and organized a force counterattack, it's not a big deal, just hit a dozen and it hurts."

Hase-kun used this reason to tell the consulates of various countries that all mistakes were made by the Qinggang people.

It would be even better if they could work together to get the French to hand over Zhang Xiaolin. ”

"Can the people of the Green Gang bring a cannon? The sound of artillery outside the city, your ears are deaf as a reporter from all over the world? Hase-Incheon's face was pale, and he didn't tell him the whole truth until now.

Tu Feiyuan shook his head and smiled: "This is really not a wave of people, I am going to close the city to search for the people of the Green Gang, but judging from the current situation, it may be that this action has caused a misunderstanding between the Chongqing agents and the Red Party elements, thinking that I am arresting them, so they are in a hurry." ”

"That's the case, when will this operation end, and when will the people of the Green Gang be arrested? Will you be able to solve the problem before dawn tomorrow? ”

"It may take some time."

"How long?"

"Well, it's hard to say now, it's always three or four days."

"What? Are you still going to lock down the city for three or four days? Hase-Incheon's eyes widened, and he was particularly surprised.

He didn't care about any secret service, but the lockdown of the city was simply the life of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Hase-Incheon immediately followed up with the next sentence, and said with a resolute attitude: "Lockdown is definitely not okay!"

What should you do if you close the city and circulate materials? What about trade transportation? What about the entry and exit of people from various countries? Is Shanghai's economy still needed?

Do you want me to explain to the consulates of various countries that our Empire of Japan did not hesitate to seal off the largest metropolis in the Far East for the sake of a few young gangsters?

It's not wartime! ”

"Listen." Dochienen pointed his finger to his ear, and the sound of shelling from outside the city could be heard, "Does Hase-kun think that this is not wartime?" ”

"That's the Red Party! That's Chongqing! Don't you just leave them alone? Agents are nothing more than rats, and for the sake of a bunch of rats, you turn the whole of Shanghai upside down, and it's not good for us!

It's casual outside, but you can't mess up in the city, that's the bottom line! ”

Hase-Incheon was particularly angry, "Even if you arrest the Chongqing agents, you should look for them from other angles, instead of looking for the most disturbing means to solve the problem that has the greatest impact on Shanghai's economy!" ”

Tu Feiyuan was unmoved: "Hase-kun, there are too many mice!"

When you hear this cannon sound, you should know how many such rats are hidden in Shanghai's tunnels, and removing a batch of them will only play a better role in Shanghai's economic stability in the future.

The price is temporary, the victory is permanent, I hope you understand. ”

Got a fart!

After the two parted unhappily, the first thing Hase-Incheon had to do was to send a telegram to the headquarters to complain.

Shanghai's economic chaos has emerged, and if you don't sue now, you will have to take the blame in the future.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs replied that it would definitely raise its grievances at the cabinet meeting and urge the matter to be corrected.

But as the days passed, nothing changed.

If the former prime minister was still Konoe, then the cabinet would at least scold the military department.

But now even the prime minister is on the side of the military department, and even Mitsui's people, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in the cabinet, so it is impossible for the prime minister and the prime minister to be the opponent of the prime minister.

In the military headquarters, Dohi Mado, a member of the Mitsubishi faction, had already ceded some benefits to Kagesa Seiaki of the Mitsui faction and promised to help him become a major general.

The Mitsui Mitsubishi faction has long been agreed.

So although the Shanghai Military Police Command raised some doubts about the practice of Tu Feiyuan, it felt that the peaceful situation had been destroyed.

But this proposal did not make any waves at the staff headquarters.

After a routine questioning of Tu Feiyuan, Tu Feiyuan replied that the purpose of the move was to clear the Chongqing agents and the Chinese troops wandering on the outskirts of Shanghai.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The staff officers also felt justified and took the opportunity to clear the Chinese army, and there was no problem with the plan of Tu Feiyuan.

It's a brilliant idea.

As for the economy, that's not something that these staff officers have to worry about, it's a matter for politicians.

Time passed.

The staff officers were in no hurry.

The soil is not in a hurry.

On the other side, Zhou Qinghe and the guards were not in a hurry.

Things are fermenting, and there is no need to rush at all now.

You don't need to do anything superfluous, just wait.

Born because of money, died because of money, the problem of money cannot be solved, then the contradiction will definitely break out, what they have to wait for is a signal of change caused by money.

And in Shanghai, the fighting continued, and Tu Feiyuan let people start to clear the countryside with their troops.

The Red Party is not in a hurry, the Japanese army is coming to chase them, then they will be turned into people on the spot, anyway, they are farmers, don't think they will pretend not to be.

The Loyal Salvation Army is not in a hurry, the suburbs are being chased, then run to Zhejiang, Zhejiang is still chasing, then run to Jiangsu, Jiangsu is still chasing, alas, I am back to Shanghai again, anyway, just around here, don't force me, force me to go to Shandong.

As soon as they left, it must have had a certain impact on the agents and youth gang members in the city, and the external support was gone.

But it doesn't matter, the hardest part is actually the night when I was chased on the first day.

There was no preparation that day, so I was caught off guard, and now that everyone is prepared, there is a tacit understanding.

Regardless of how the Japanese divide themselves, it's okay for everyone to wreak havoc in the area where they live, right?

Unless the Japanese kill all the Chinese, the plan to divide and find the saboteurs is doomed to be a bamboo basket to draw water.

There was a good plan on the top, and there were bridges and ladders below, and the chaos in Shanghai began to intensify, and the investigation was strict, shrunk honestly, and the investigation was loose, and they made great efforts to sabotage.

At first, the Japanese military police were able to muster up their spirits to strictly check the passers-by, but after a long time, who could stand doing this every day?

And from time to time, a cold gun comes and explodes in the middle of the night, and the mental destruction is really uncomfortable.

The Japanese military police are not in a hurry, they should be lazy and lazy, they should be checked, just a few dollars of salary, they are so tired every day, who can stand it.

The criticism in Shanghai is getting bigger and bigger, the economy is declining, the city government is dissatisfied, the people living are dissatisfied, the people in the concession are dissatisfied, and there are serious protests.

But all this has not changed under the pressure of the soil.

Tu Feiyuan made a situation that was bound to eradicate the Shanghai agents, and he would not let go if he did not see the results of the battle.

Now that the army, the gendarmerie, and the intelligence departments are all in the hands of Tu Feiyuan, it is impossible for Shanghai to have different opinions.

Accidents occurred in Japan.

There was a wave of people who began to get anxious.

Yasuda Manor, Konoe entered the door laughing, looking for Zhou Qinghe and Yasuda Kenichi to chat.

"I received the news that the cabinet had a big quarrel."

"What's the noise?" Kenichi Yasuda asked.

"Military spending!" Konoe Fumima laughed:

"The people of the Ministry of War asked for 6 billion military spending, and the traitor cooperated, and the two of them put pressure on the people of the Ministry of Finance, and Tibet had nothing to do with it.

Saying that he wants 6 billion now, he can only raise taxes, and the tax increase will be increased to an extremely high value, the country will definitely not be able to bear it, I don't know how many people will starve to death, he can't do this, he will definitely not ruin his reputation and pay for the military department, if he is forced to do it, he will resign. ”

"Hahaha, it's here." Kenichi Yasuda glanced at Zhou Qinghe with a smile, and then looked back at Konoe Fumima: "And then?" What does the military department say? ”

"The military department said that military spending must be raised, and now is a critical moment, and if there is no military spending, Japan will be seen as an internal emptiness, and it is likely to lose everything."

"There's some truth to that." Yasuda Jian nodded, but frowned: "But this 6 billion is not easy to make, it is very difficult to get 3.8 billion in the Wuhan Raiders, or can you do it with strong appeal, 6 billion, where to get it?" ”

"He won't be able to get it!" Konoe said categorically, but if he can come up with a way to 6 billion, the 3.8 billion last time still needs to take advantage of his reputation to beg for the whole country?

"I bet he won't get 4 billion!"

Konoe really knew a lot about the treasury, and in the afternoon the cabinet met again, and the Ministry of Finance promised 4 billion, and at the meeting it was clearly stated that the military department must cut the budget, and it will only be more difficult next year.

In the evening, the new deal was released.

Japan raised taxes on the mainland, and the whole country supported foreign wars.

As soon as the news came out, the invective could almost spray all the eighteen generations of the new prime minister's ancestors to death.

I can't even afford to eat oil, and I still have a tax increase?

In the manor, the three of them looked at the content of the new policy, although the tax was raised, but it was actually very restrained, such as not being allowed to make new kimonos, avoiding waste of fabric, such as rice quotas, not allowed to eat rice at every meal, and so on.

At least there is still a mouthful of food left, and life is a little difficult, but it will not starve to death in a large area.

If it is really 6 billion, the domestic crime rate will definitely soar.

The cold air permeated the military headquarters, and the soldiers' temper tantrums exploded.

6 billion was reduced to 4 billion, of which 2 billion might be spent on military equipment, 1 billion was spent on basic salaries, and 3 billion was spent on eating horses.

Now that it has been reduced to 4 billion, the salary will definitely not be moved, which means that the cost of military equipment plus people will only be 3 billion.

Cutting equipment or cutting expenses? If you don't cut the equipment, then the amount of daily expenses is only one billion.

It's only a billion.

That's three-quarters less!

Everyone has to fight for the interests of their own department, and everyone has to fight for the interests of their good brother's troops.

The days when everyone worked together to be greedy for money are gone, and the rest of the days are your life-and-death struggle.

In the evening of the same day, a telegram was sent to the headquarters of the garrison abroad.

The headquarters, which got the news first, immediately began to cry poor, and must cry this year's budget first.

Those who cried first ate meat, and those who cried later didn't even have soup to drink.

The next day, Zhou Qinghe went to work at the staff headquarters and immediately appreciated the changes in the office atmosphere.

As soon as there is less money, many people's emotions have changed, and they are a lot irritable, and they are scolding their mothers when they open their mouths and close their mouths.

Of course, it is still an abuse of the cabinet of politicians, who fought so hard and as a result, cut their budgets, and gave birth to sons without ass, and that's about it.

In the morning, Shiro Watanabe, the head of the China Division, went to a meeting, and at ten o'clock, he called all the middle and senior leaders to the conference room.

"The latest order, from today, all departments will cut their budgets, and each department will only be allowed to report up to half of last year's funding."

"Wow, what do you want the people below to do?"

"Yes, what do I say to the people in Nanjing? Tell them that their funding has been cut in half? Originally, the currency was depreciating, and now they are cutting salaries, they can't afford to eat, how can they check the information? ”

"Yes, section chief, without funds, it will be more difficult for us to buy anyone, you tell the above, let other departments cut more, how can our intelligence department cut it? One less piece of information could be a battle involving tens of thousands of people. ”

"Okay, I'm informing you, not discussing with you!"

Shiro Watanabe glanced at him coldly: "I'm not happy either, but I can't help it, this is already the result of coordination."

The military department asked the logistics unit to make canned beef offal from today onwards, and the food has been reduced, what do you still want? ”

Oh, the cans have been changed, and the middle and high-level people don't call when they hear this, this is something that is directly issued to front-line soldiers, and the most important thing for soldiers is salary and food, which is closely related to them.

Now that the food has dropped, the blow to morale is not ordinary.

However, if the military department has a choice, it will definitely not come to this point.

"And I can tell you that the top has already taken care of us as an intelligence department, and only cut half, like the garrisons in the areas that have been beaten down in various places, then it is not half, but seventy, or even eighty."

"Eighty?!" Everyone who heard it was going to be shocked.

Does this still make people live?

Although it is a fund, not a salary, but the salary is a fixed yen, in fact, it has been depreciating, a big soldier 8 yen a month, what can this buy?

It's all about subsidies!

Such as visible allowances, extra meals, cigarettes, etc.

"No way." Shiro Watanabe shook his head and frowned: "The area without war has been reduced to 20 percent, and the reduced part of the subsidy for the front-line troops may be barely maintained to 65 percent of the original, you say that if this is not arranged, how can the front-line troops maintain their combat effectiveness?"

Take 50% of all and can afford canned beef offal?

It's good to be able to eat canned cow blood! ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, and what they said was indeed the truth.

"But 30 percent, 20 percent, that's too bad." Someone smiled wryly, "How can I tell them?" ”

Shiro Watanabe snorted coldly, "The salary has not been cut, the subsidies, food, military uniforms, and life are almost there, the basic life should not be a problem, what is there to call it?" Headquarters are like this. Let's do it. ”

There are also beef offal to eat, yes, this is much better than Zhou Qinghe imagined.

However, the headquarters does not think that it is a problem, and the following are usually problematic.

It's hard to say what this layer has become.

After the meeting, let his subordinates send a report to the area he is responsible for, and cut the funds at will, anyway, it is not his people.

Zhou Qinghe immediately sent a report to the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters, and he was going to increase the weight.

Once a trend is formed, no one can change it.

There is only one thing he needs, to follow the trend.

Shanghai Military Police Command.

The people from the telegraph department took the telegram folder and sent it to the office of the commander of the gendarmerie.

The person who delivered the letter did not look good, because the telegram was closely related to them, the salary was unchanged, and all the additional expenses were cut by eighty percent of the budget, which was the rhythm of starvation.

Jiro Miura took the telegram and looked at it, and smiled slightly, the good days of soil and fat are coming to an end.

These days it is comfortable to command the army outside the city, the carts are driving and the gasoline is clattering.

Now that the knife is down, the funds will be cut by 80 percent, and this gasoline is not to be thought about, it would be good to be able to eat well.

This gendarmerie headquarters is about the same, there is no money, Akio Tojo is the captain of the gendarmerie, and there are so many people under him who eat horses and chew, what can I do?

From today onwards, there are many people, and it is all trouble.

After reading the message, Jiro Miura looked at the sad faces of his subordinates, and asked quietly, "What's wrong?" Unwilling to go through the difficult times with the military department? ”

The subordinate smiled bitterly, "Don't dare, but really want to cut so much?" It's not much."

How expensive is the cost of living in the concession, especially in the core area of Hongkou, the price is simply ridiculously expensive, and after cutting the funds, the really poor izakaya will not be able to afford it.

"Don't complain, let's carry it out."

Jiro Miura didn't say much to him, and immediately cooperated with Fujita Kazukiyo's actions.

The message did not say how to do it, but how to do it made the people below the most painful, and it couldn't be simpler.

The words "food, clothing, housing and transportation" explain everything.

called the person in charge of the canteen and said bluntly: "From today onwards, the food budget will be reduced to 30 percent of the original, yes, you heard it right, 30 percent."

How to solve it is your business, I want to be full! As long as you can eat enough! ”

Jiro Miura hung up the phone and called the secretary to inform all the department heads to have a meeting.

At the meeting, the instructions and orders of the headquarters were conveyed.

Eighty percent of the machetes were cut down, and the heads of the departments changed color.

It's too ruthless.

"Sir, let's talk to the headquarters about this matter, we can't get to 20 percent at once, how can we have to transition? Give it two years, shall we lower it? ”

"yes, that's too much, and it's good to drop it to 70 percent this year."

Akio Tojo's eyes widened even more: "Twenty percent? The gendarmerie cut 80 percent of its funding, it's impossible! I can't get by at all, so I have to pay a little bit for the current funds. ”

"Since you have the money, then you keep posting!"

Jiro Miura glanced at him, and then looked at everyone: "It's the same all over the country, the headquarters is also decreasing, the good days have passed, get used to it."

I remind you that from now on, the wind direction of the entire gendarmerie command will change, even if you add a drop of gasoline, you must strictly declare it before you can be reimbursed.

Whoever dares to spend money indiscriminately, I know that I will never spare him!

Finance class, manage the door of reimbursement. ”

"Hey."

After the meeting, everyone went out with sad faces, chirping and discussing how to live this day.

They are the head of the classroom, at least they have no problem living on their own.

But the big soldiers below can't.

Go back and convey the order, the entire gendarmerie command fryers.

"I can't live this day!"

"Why? Without the allowance, my salary is not enough to pay the rent, how can I live! ”

Waiting for them was still behind, and a group of people went to the cafeteria to eat food with sad faces.

When I saw the vegetables in the rice bucket, my color changed.

What about meat dishes?

Vegan?
