Soviet Russia doesn't want to fight!

The news of the peace talks was transmitted back to the Ministry of War through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the result was a huge earthquake at the meeting of the Ministry of War!

The losses in this war against the Soviet Union were large enough to go down in military history and win the throne of the crown.

If the war ends with the current result, then at least half of the people present in the high-level meeting room of the Ministry of War will be liquidated!

As a matter of fact, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' peace talks have been going on for a long time, but the decision on whether or not to negotiate peace has always been in the hands of the strong.

Soviet Russia would not agree, so the military department did not want to go to the peace talks at all, but on the contrary, it seemed to be a good thing that Soviet Russia could see something from its attitude toward peace talks.

But now Soviet Russia really agreed, and they were caught off guard.

A lot of people wanted to do something, tried to be able to keep their positions, argued at meetings of the military department.

At this time, when the Good Brother Navy learned of this, it was necessary to stick a knife in the ribs of the Good Brother.

The admiral entered the palace to meet Hirohito and bluntly said that the Army Headquarters had made serious mistakes in various military strategies!

"Your Majesty, their stupidity has buried all the soldiers of the empire in vain!"

The navy and the army never agreed on their political views, and the army wanted to attack China and advance north to fight against Soviet Russia after consolidating its territory.

But the idea of the navy has always been to occupy China's port cities, then go south to attack the island countries of Southeast Asia, and then cross the Pacific to fight Britain and the United States.

Whether to expand the continent or the sea first determines the question of who is in charge of the military department and who has the final say in the distribution of resources.

Political enemies are mortal enemies!

In the past, the navy had been suppressed, but the huge losses in this war with Soviet Russia can be said to be the largest since the Japanese army was dispatched, and according to the results of this battle with Soviet Russia, it is enough to show the limitations of the strategic vision of some people in the army faction.

The admiral analyzed Hirohito one by one at each point in time, how stupid the army's strategy was, and the prepared analysis of regulations, coupled with the stimulation of casualties from time to time, made Hirohito's face darker and darker, and his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

At this time, Konoe Fumima, who came to visit Hirohito, was reported to be recruited.

Hirohito asked Fumima Konoe for his opinion.

Konoe Fumima, a deposed unofficial and inattentive spectator, stood on a neutral standpoint, and unbiased told Emperor Hirohito about the over-centralization of power in some of the military departments that he had 'heard', which led to the army almost being controlled by merchants.

And point out the consequences.

"Your Majesty, this defeat has directly led to the shattering of the claim that our Imperial Japanese Army is the first in the world, and this has a huge impact on the morale of the army! The adverse effects on future wars are simply incalculable! This is a mistake that will never be tolerated! ”

Hirohito was so angry when he heard this, "Is the problem of the military department already so big?" ”

The Emperor's anger against the military was enveloped.

Hirohito personally went to the military headquarters to preside over the meeting, and mercilessly reprimanded a group of high-ranking officials in front of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, the land phase was exempted, and the secondary phase was exempted.

The mascot of the General Staff Headquarters, the Deputy Chief of Staff, was dismissed to the reserve by the angry Hirohito because he did not take good care of the team, ending his military life.

The four commanders of the two military departments, except for one prince-in-chief, all stepped down, and this was not over, and the traitor who was assassinated announced his resignation for some reason quite late.

The whole country is in an uproar, the cabinet has only been a few months, and it has actually fallen again, the army has been defeated, and the cabinet has stepped down, which shows that the country's problems are very big, and many people will lose confidence in whether the country's future direction can be improved, and the people's abuse is not small.

Hirohito is in a bad mood, so he wants to find someone or something to comfort him, such as whether Kazukiyo Fujita has a solution to his illness.

So the telegram asked Zhou Qinghe.

Zhou Qinghe was not in a hurry, and continued to drag, now Japan is a land of right and wrong, besides, what is the hurry? He hasn't finished doing something in Shanghai.

"Your Majesty, I must be absolutely sure before I dare to make a move for you, I hope you will be patient."

Hirohito could only wait.

Hirohito has done a big thing, so it's time for the Yasuda Ichiji and Konoe Ichi's people to do something small.

The big ones were liquidated by Hirohito, and the small ones should be liquidated by them.

The battle for position begins!

From Endoka Tohi, who sought to assassinate Stalin at the beginning, to the generals of the Kwantung Army who sent troops to attack, to the chief of the operations section who agreed to send troops to the military headquarters, to the various staff officers who agreed to increase the number of troops in the General Staff, and even Hideji Tojo, who sold planes in the aviation department, were all attacked.

Who let his air fleet not blow up all the Russians? Isn't that wrong?

The fierceness of the counterattack of the Yasuda and Konoe factions and the scale of the factional disputes are rare in the history of the military department.

There are not only disputes over the chaebol system, but also disputes over the political views of the navy and the army, and of course, there are also some centrists and young officers with no background who also want to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack.

The Ministry of the Army, the Cabinet, the position of these two places to snatch several gangs of people and dogs have to fight out.

"Enough! Don't do anything all day long! What is the international situation? Germany attacked Poland, Britain and France declared war on Germany, and you are arguing here with your mouth? ”

Emperor Hirohito was furious when he heard the turmoil in the military department, and directly transferred his chief of guard to be the land minister.

Mitsui Mitsubishi people hate!

In this battle, it can be said that they have suffered a lot of losses, and they have reached the point of breaking their muscles and bones, and the land phase has been lost, so it is even more desperate for the remaining positions!

Of course, it is necessary to suppress those who dare to take the lead to seize power in the military department, of course to protect those who can be picked up, and to arrange for those who can be promoted as soon as possible.

Seiaki Kagesa belongs to those who can be promoted.

Tu Feiyuan has long promised to give up the credit for the Wang rebellion incident, which has been said a long time ago, and it can't be said because Tu Feiyuan himself failed.

And Ying Zuo has indeed made meritorious contributions, and the number of years is enough, so many positions are vacant in this wave, so I have to arrange it.

Mitsui Kazuki's rapid push shadow Sasaaki returned to Shanghai to formally take over the special committee on China and set about the establishment of a new government.

Zhou Qinghe received a call from the gendarmerie from the airport, so he came to the military police headquarters to talk to Jiro Miura.

"Just now, someone from the airport gendarmerie reported to me that Shadow Zuo Zhengzhao had arrived in Shanghai."

"He's coming back quickly, and he's lucky."

Jiro Miura lay on the luxurious sofa and said with a smile: "Tu Feiyuan thought about it behind closed doors in Manchuria, but he picked up such a good position, and when the new government is established, there must be a lot of money in his hands." ”

"That's definitely a lot, and we'll knock him a share when the time comes."

"Hahahaha, the capital of the new government is located in Nanjing, and it's not in Shanghai, we can't manage it, and we can't stretch out our hands so long, drink tea."

"That's not necessarily, this hand wants to be extended, the ends of the earth, as long as we want to, then we must stretch out, the establishment of the new government needs to be supervised by various departments, how many people are there under him?

Do you want to hire people or choose from the gendarmerie department?

In total, there are two groups of people who can be relied on, either from the local gendarmerie school, and that is our Fujita Hidetake in charge.

Either transfer someone from the Tojo family, isn't this just looking for Akio Tojo to ask for someone? Then Akio Tojo must use his own people, but in the end, isn't it still a soldier of your Shanghai Military Police Headquarters?

Can't get around. ”

"Huh? That's true. Miura's eyes lit up, and now he was interested in money.

"Definitely, he's going to come to us then."

Zhou Qinghe is not worried about the intelligence inside after the establishment of the new government, no matter how he bypasses, he can't get around the gendarmes who enforce the law.

"But there's one thing you need to say hello to the people under you."

"What's the matter?"

"Kagesa Seiaki is holding the title of the Special Service Committee, this is not only a matter of the new government, there are also counter-espionage, sabotage, and even commanding the army to fight, and there will be no shortage of people from our military police headquarters to go out to do things.

I am not worried about my business, but for the economic stability of Shanghai, you still have to make it clear to the military police, pay more attention, and do not let him destroy the good situation in Shanghai.

I'm not at the gendarmerie headquarters every day, and I'm easy to pay attention to this, and Akio Tojo's IQ is really unreliable, so I can't play with Seiaki Kagesa. ”

Zhou Qinghe has to do a good job in advance, and the new official will take office with three fires, and this counter-espionage thing will definitely not be less, although even if someone is arrested, he can find a way to save it, but it is best not to be caught.

Releasing someone is always a troublesome thing, and you can't always ask him to make a move, it's better to block it from the source.

Miura Jiro snorted and nodded slightly seriously: "I'll say, counter-espionage is also a serious matter, but unless necessary, I won't let him mess up the economy." ”

"You, you still have to tighten up, a few spies don't matter at all, unless the spies can run into the gendarmerie headquarters to see the intelligence, otherwise a few more spies and a few fewer spies are hanging around in Shanghai, what can happen?"

Zhou Qinghe showed disdain for this matter, and instead emphasized the next thing.

"Don't forget, whether you can rise to another level in the future depends not on the capture of a few spies, but on Shanghai's stability and economic prosperity."

Jiro Miura's face was even more serious, "You're right, you have to grasp the core issue. ”

The emphasis is almost over, and the two of them will talk about other topics.

"The recent economic situation has been very bad."

Jiro Miura said with a tense face: "The military department sent me a telegram, telling us to be prepared, next year's military budget will most likely be less, and we may have to start the control of daily necessities." ”

Mongolia suffered serious losses in World War I, and its military spending was seriously overspent, and it will be even more difficult next year.

And Shanghai is inevitably affected, and the amount of food and clothing will be reduced again, although it will not affect them, but when they are leaders, it is certain that they will be scolded by the people below.

The two chatted to kill time, and as soon as Ying Zuo Zhengzhao arrived in Hongkou, he very consciously came to the military police headquarters to visit Zhou Qing and this local snake.

Although he was promoted to major general, he walked with the temperament of a general without anger and self-authority, but the consequences of not paying homage to this Dazuo head snake are lessons from the past.

Besides, although everyone has different backgrounds, the relationship between Ying Zuo and Zhou Qinghe is not so bad, and it is even good.

"General Kagesa, please take care of me." Zhou Qinghe paused.

Kagesa laughed, "Fujita-kun, I was fortunate enough to be summoned by the Emperor before I came back this time, but the meaning of the Emperor's words is that I want me to urge you, don't forget the business, I have to tell you about this matter as soon as we meet, don't forget." ”

"I can't forget, I've been working it."

It seems that Hirohito has been in a very bad mood recently, and even his mood has become extremely impatient, and yes, the situation in Japan has indeed reached a critical turning point, Soviet Russia can't beat it, China looks like it won't be able to eat for a while and a half, and some people in the military department are confused and confused.

Refers specifically to the Army.

"Well, how is the progress, I can also send a telegram to the emperor, lest he think I forgot."

Tsk, this open-mouthed emperor, and also specifically explained that he can send a message to the emperor, which is really proud.

The promotion of an adjutant to a general requires the approval of the emperor himself, and this is probably the most glorious moment in the lives of some Japanese soldiers.

"The progress is okay, there are successful cases for others, and it is not a few, but for His Majesty the Emperor, of course I have to make sure that nothing goes wrong, this disease is not just done well, I have to track the postoperative situation, in case the recovery is not good, then what's the use?

Kagesa-kun, you can wait for a while, but you can't make a mistake once. ”

"Yes, be cautious."

After talking about treating Hirohito, Kagezo talked about his business in Shanghai this time.

"Although the head of the Tufei Yuan Agency made a slight mistake in the strategy of fighting against the Soviet Union, His Majesty still very much agrees with his great idea of using China to control China.

In the past, we were conceived, but now we have reached the stage of concrete implementation, China has a vast land and resources, except for the absence of oil, basically everything we need, so as long as we implement it well, we in the Japanese Empire will not be afraid of anyone's constraints.

Fujita-kun, if there is anything that needs your cooperation, you will have to help me with all your might. ”

This appointment is the foundation of Shadow Zuo's promotion, and the completion is also the foundation of future promotion.

"No problem, I will resolutely implement the strategy of the military department." Zhou Qinghe was very polite.

Isn't it just about people? It's been preparing for a long time.

When the time comes, people from all walks of life will have to send some people in.

Not to get any news, mainly people from several parties don't have to ask him everything.

This matter is very easy to do, a rebellious government, and the people who use the mutiny, then continue to find people to rebel.

In this way, Zhou Qinghe has completed the safety isolation, these people don't know him, it doesn't matter how they toss or what big things come out.

As for him, he still plays the role of a backer, and it is more reliable to occasionally make a move depending on the situation.

His people must be sent, after all, the main business is to collect money, and the people sent out to supervise the work are all Japanese, and there is no risk of accidents.

The new official immediately lit the fire.

The next day, Kagesa immediately began a drastic reform.

The first step was to eliminate the influence of the soil and fertilizer, and on the grounds that there were many personnel in the secret service department and the current address was inconvenient for office, the site was relocated to No. 76 Jisfield Road.

That night, Ding Mocun knocked on the door of the Fujita Mansion with gifts, saying that Ying Zuo was going to let the people of No. 76 belong to Chairman Wang, hoping that Zhou Qinghe could help him get a big official position in the new government.

Small things, and for Zhou Qinghe, it is indeed necessary to arrange Ding Mo Village to be his mouthpiece in the new government, and it will be much more convenient.

As a result, Ding Mo Village became one of the original members of the party department.

Then they began to work hard to identify the talents of various departments for the establishment of a new government, or for the peaceful establishment of the country.

In fact, the candidates for this part of the soil were selected at that time, and the candidates were basically determined, but now that the master has changed, this candidate naturally has to be considered again.

A few days later, the rough list was drawn up, and Ying Zuo also invited Zhou Qing and the Mei agency to discuss one or two together.

Zhou Qinghe was not interested at all, he was originally a group of corrupt people in the upper echelons of Nanjing at that time, but now he has become a group of corrupt and mutinous people, and it is rare that he can do anything promising.

With his identity, he doesn't need to give these people any good looks, if he sees them in public, he can chat in a good mood, and he can be killed if he is in a bad mood.

After the list was carefully considered, Wang Wei's handwritten letter was sent to all parts of the country, inviting them to participate in the grand event.

The carriage was slow, and the replies were even slower, and Kagezo was busy with that in the Secret Service.

Zhou Qinghe continues to improve his spy system, which is the most important thing he has done in Shanghai now.

There is a bamboo mechanism in the earth and a plum mechanism in the shadow, which is not only the name of an organization, but also a force gathered together because of one person.

Behind every high-ranking official, there will be a group of younger brothers, all of whom slowly return to their hearts with this person's incumbency, and although they are separated by promotion, they are more concentrated in their hearts, which is the basic plate.

It is also the main reason why others are reluctant to continue to use you even if they take over your department.

However, even if the person who takes over is unhappy, but these other people's younger brothers occupy key positions, he can't move, after all, it is a promotion, not a demotion.

Just like Zhou Qinghe's subordinates in the gendarmerie headquarters, the two squadron leaders of Hirano and Xiaoshan, as long as he Fujita and Kiyoshi are still in the army, the future will be on the rise, and absolutely no one dares to move.

Even a person like Akio Tojo who is hard in the background only dares to throw his face at them. Sacked? Don't dare to do it if you give him the guts.

And as long as you occupy a position, when you want to use it, most people can only admit it with a smile.

As for departments like military doctors, don't even think about moving, the military doctors in the gendarmerie headquarters, if one of them counts, they have to call him teacher, how to move?

Therefore, it is very necessary to vigorously develop the power in your own hands and increase the right to speak and convenience.

In Shanghai, the power in Zhou Qinghe's hands was enough to cope with everything. Not only the secret service team of the military commander, but also the Japanese of the special high section of the military police headquarters were also under his control.

In terms of employing people, he can now borrow from the Red Party's secret service team, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' own secret agency, Iwai Mansion, can be said to be his subordinates, and he can use it whenever he wants, and there are really many people, although these two groups of people are essentially the same group

However, the purpose of the future is to transport materials to all parts of the country, and overseas transportation channels must also be opened, and these people in Shanghai are obviously not enough.

Therefore, it is necessary to vigorously expand the ranks, and as for the cost, of course, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will pay for it.

The problem of manpower is easy to solve, although he does not have a resume of leading troops like Tu Feiyuan, and he can pick people from the Kwantung Army.

But the students of the gendarmerie school are all good seedlings, have studied university, and have studied Chinese, the basic plate of the Fujita family, and of course they must help to serve him at this time.

Ask Fujita Hidetake to ask for 150 people, 50 students in the school, and 100 from the outside world, these people Zhou Qinghe trained, and he wanted to go to major cities around the country to open stores as contact points.

The rhetoric for them is to lurk to collect intelligence, do some business as a cover every day, and actually help him transport materials at the transit station, referring to the express station in terms of mode, and the two are actually really similar.

Major cities in the country, Hong Kong, the United States, the United Kingdom, as long as there are many countries and regions, are within the scope of Zhou Qinghe's point laying.

The work is still quite busy, this group of people from Japan to Shanghai, Zhou Qinghe has to ask someone to teach them the language and culture of the place they want to go, and also compile their own contact information and code book for them.

After the training of the group of people, listening to these Japanese swear in front of him to promise to work hard to complete all tasks, Zhou Qinghe solemnly sent them on the ship or train, expecting them to bring wealth and materials for himself.

Turn around, and it's time for him to plan something bigger.

Ying Zuo's next move should be mainly for the establishment of a new government, and after the establishment of the bullshit, the main focus should be on Nanjing.

And the integration of forces in Shanghai is completed, even if Zhou Qinghe is not there, he can rely on remote control, and for the development of the war, the Japanese army staff headquarters needs him to help grow.

The Japanese aristocratic council, the Ministry of War Hirohito's operation has dragged on for so long, it's time to give him some sweet tasting or two.

Go back and send a report to Hirohito.

"Your Majesty, I have performed 198 general spine surgeries and 67 special spine surgeries in the past few days, and the patients have recovered well after surgery, are you ready for the new beauty?"
