Chapter 286: Provocation

Shen Lin Hao was stuffed with pork liver in his mouth, of course, this matter can't be counted like this.

As soon as Zhou Qinghe's people left, the angry god Lin Hao, who was already full of burgundy, angrily rushed into the office of the director Koizumi Jiuhiko to complain.

How angry you are in your heart, how aggrieved you are when you cry.

Before the office after vomiting was cleaned up, of course Zhou Qinghe would not move in.

So I drank tea in the personnel class, chatted with Xiao Lin in an interesting way, and didn't go to the medical department to check whether the threat had any effect until Zhou Qinghe got off work.

As soon as he entered the door of the Medical Bureau, he was told to go to the director's office.

It seems that this Koizumi Kuhiko is finished with the meeting.

Zhou Qinghe walked to the director's office and knocked on the door to enter.

"Director, Kazuki Fujita reports."

Behind his desk, Kuhiko Koizumi is 55 years old, with an oval face, balding head, round-rimmed glasses, and a thick gray-black beard under his nose.

"Mr. Fujita, please be seated."

Kuhiko Koizumi crossed his fingers on the table and said businessmanlikely, "On behalf of the Medical Bureau, I would like to welcome Fujita-kun's arrival.

But I heard that Fujita-kun had an unpleasant affair with Kamibayashi Hao at noon, you disposed of the corpse in the office, and you also forcibly stuffed a piece of raw pork liver into Kamibayashi Hao's mouth, is there such a thing? ”

"That's true."

"I don't care what happened unpleasantly between you, for my colleague to do such a bad thing, the same Dazuo, too disrespectful of Kabayashi Hao's personality and dedication, this matter has a very bad impact, Fujita-kun, I don't understand what your original intention is in doing this, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."

"There is no explanation, I just do what I want."

Koizumi Jiuhiko was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhou Qinghe in surprise: "Section Chief Fujita doesn't seem to think that he has done a wrong thing, this is the military department, not your family, you are insulting the personality of a soldier, and you are using extremely barbaric means."

It has been rumored that Fujita Kazuqing is a generation of famous doctors, and famous doctors should be elegant and easy-going images, and this matter is a huge blow to your own reputation. ”

Zhou Qinghe smiled lightly: "I like to be reasonable when dealing with civilized people, and when dealing with scoundrels, you should use scoundrel means, for a soldier, if the military order is not done, what kind of soldier is this?" Bargaining and selling the old, this is the military department, not the vegetable market.

As for Director Koizumi's opinion that a famous doctor should be an elegant and easy-going image, it is not good for my reputation if this matter is spread

Thanks for caring, I don't care. ”

Koizumi Jiuhiko frowned: "Chief Fujita, you don't care, but I can't, I'm the director, the affairs of the bureau are my business, Shenlin Hao has worked hard for decades for the affairs of the bureau and has paid a lot, even if he retires now, I have to protect his rights and interests, you need to apologize to him." ”

"Something impossible." Zhou Qinghe casually vetoed.

"I'm not consulting with you, it's an order." Koizumi Jiuhiko said plain words, the position was decided, and there was no doubt that the voice was not heavy.

Zhou Qinghe got up with a smile and brushed the suit on his body: "My rank is Dazuo, and the decision on my punishment will be discussed at a high-level meeting of the General Office of the Ministry of the Army, Your Excellency is a lieutenant general, you must know a lot of people, you can try, if there is nothing else, you will not be accompanied." ”

Zhou Qinghe paused slightly, turned around and left.

Koizumi Kuhiko didn't expect that Fujita Kazukiyo's character was so hard, his eyes were slightly cloudy, and no one dared to challenge his authority so much for a long time.

In the evening, Yasuda Manor.

After eating, Kenichi Yasuda smiled and asked Zhou Qinghe how his class was today, and Zhou Qinghe also talked about what happened today.

"Shenlin Hao jumped to his feet, Koizumi Jiuyan had a meeting, my new section chief didn't even have a welcome ceremony on the first day of his appointment, people really don't pay attention to it, people who don't know think he deliberately went out to avoid me, so that Shenlin Hao can play a role."

"Haha, if he is there, you go to sue, how embarrassed is he?"

Plunging headlong into someone else's territory, and taking away the position of one of the most powerful henchmen, some people are dissatisfied, that is a normal thing, which is also in Yasuda Kenichi's expectations.

Shen Lin Hao, the former first section chief, must be Koizumi Jiuhiko's person, and he is a general.

So Kenichi Yasuda said: "I found someone to check Koizumi Jiuhiko's background, graduated from Tokyo Imperial University, served as the head of the military medical department of the Guards Division, the director of military medicine, and is the only military doctor lieutenant general, the highest rank of military doctor is lieutenant general, he can be regarded as the first."

And judging from some of the news I inquired, the Affiliated Hospital of Imperial University, the military hospital, and the pharmaceutical company, the forces behind this person are not small.

He also set up a medical university in Manchuria, and if you look at it this way, his relationship with the Kwantung Army must be very good, and he should be from Mitsubishi's side, and even if he is not, he should have a lot of interests involved.

As for your hostility, it may be that Mitsubishi's people and himself are afraid that you, a famous doctor, will interfere in their business and want to beat you at the Military Medical Bureau once, and you can't raise your head.

If you can't cope with it, then others will think that you are weak, and it will be very difficult for you to do something in the Military Medical Bureau, and the people at the headquarters are not stupid. ”

The head of this kind of auxiliary department is different from the bigwigs of the army, whose interests are on the front line and get kickbacks in production and consumption.

And this kind of military medical department, the network of relations is more complex, there may be domestic politicians, school factions, and so on.

Zhou Qinghe laughed and took a sip of tea: "Actually, it's not wrong for him to think so, isn't it just to collect money when our Yasuda family enters the market?" ”

The collision of interests is inevitable, which is also the reason why Zhou Qinghe directly chose to be tough, yes, it is a matter of time, and if he says two exciting words in his mouth, it is just an appetizer, and in the future, it will only be more intense.

Kenichi Yasuda chuckled: "You have to open up the situation to collect money, it doesn't matter if Shenlin Hao is just a small person, the focus is still Koizumi Jiuhiko, if he is a lieutenant general who suppresses you in the bureau, what are you going to do?"

Koizumi Jiuyan has been a military doctor for decades, and the key positions in the bureau should be his people. ”

As for whether Koizumi Jiuhiko will report to the office to discuss the punishment of Fujita Kazukiyo, Kenichi Yasuda is not worried at all.

This doesn't need the Yasuda family to exert themselves, at this juncture of treating the emperor, who dares to give Fujita Kazuqing eye medicine, it is looking for death, and it is useless for anyone to come.

On the contrary, it is a daily trivial matter in the bureau, Koizumi Jiuhiko suppresses it, Fujita Kazukiyo wants to take power, and the Yasuda family wants to cut a piece of cake, and no one cooperates, so it will be difficult.

Zhou Qinghe put down the cup, "Since they are all his people, let's shuffle the cards, wash out some people, bring in some new people, and change fresh blood for the medical bureau." ”

"How do you wash it?"

"In the fight against corruption, the wealth gained by power will eventually be confiscated by the new power."

Kenichi Yasuda raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The saying that the wealth gained with power will eventually be confiscated by the new power is quite philosophical, but it is not easy to investigate corruption. ”

Anti-corruption is a tool, and it must be a sharp sword for new people, because newcomers have no entanglements of interests and can't burn themselves.

But this matter is also a work that offends people, and it is easy to not be used, and even if you want to use it, it will cause a violent backlash from existing interest groups, and it is very likely that stealing chickens will not lead to rice.

"If you want to check the Military Medical Bureau, it must be ordered by the Military Department, I think the people of Mitsubishi will strongly oppose this matter, and the Military Department will not necessarily cooperate with you, even if the Military Department is short of money now, and there are too many people involved."

Zhou Qinghe nodded, "It's not easy, don't find someone to talk about this matter, I'll do it, I'll tear this matter apart." ”

"Oh?" Ken Yasuda's eyes lit up, and he said curiously: "Tell me, how to do it?" ”

"You'll know when the time comes, and you'll need to cooperate."

Zhou Qinghe now has no foundation in the Military Medical Bureau, and if he wants to check the accounts, others will definitely not cooperate, so Zhou Qinghe has to start with small things.

For example, the death of several Japanese soldiers who fought bravely.

The next day, a meeting of the middle and high-level of the Military Medical Bureau.

It was the first meeting of Fujita Kazukiyo to make a public appearance, and after talking about the scene, Koizumi Jiuhiko also asked Zhou Qinghe what constructive opinions he had on his work.

Routine.

Then vetoed.

Zhou Qinghe didn't have a temper at all, he was scared in private, nine out of ten people sitting in this big conference room were people from other people, and it was pointless to argue.

Koizumi Jiuyan also educated Zhou Qinghe, let him know that Zhou Qinghe couldn't do anything without him in the Military Medical Bureau, and even the document instructions, Koizumi Jiuyan could not approve it.

Zhou Qinghe simply didn't need to do anything, and continued to read the information.

The Military Medical Bureau is in charge of the whole army's medicines, injuries and war reports, and most of them are telegrams from all over China about what diseases have broken out, what medicines are needed, or what incurable diseases have occurred, and they want the military department to help solve them.

After picking and choosing, Zhou Qinghe pulled out a report telegram of the Kwantung Army in the Northeast.

Frostbite is a very normal thing in the Northeast, it is so cold outside, if you take off your pants and pee, this urine can freeze in the air.

If you take off your pants and untie them, your anus may be frozen and cracked.

If you have to hold a gun in your hand, it is even more common to get frostbitten.

Frostbite cream is a common medicine specially distributed to the troops in the northeast and attacking the Soviet Russian direction.

The ingredients are very simple, calamine, lard, applied externally to the affected area two or three times a day.

After thinking about it, Zhou Qinghe dug out the medicine supply record, which recorded in detail what time, how much medicine was sent to which troops, and the mode of transportation.

From the point of view of time, the drugs that are in high demand in the war readiness warehouses are being sent in and out almost every day, while the drugs that are not commonly used generally start in half a month, a month or two months, or are temporarily allocated when there is a demand.

Frostbite cream is shipped from Japan to Tohoku once every seven days, and distributed along with other daily necessities.

The crowd is chosen, the target is chosen, and all that's left is to add some spices to them.

Itchy powder is more suitable.

The main ingredient of itchy powder is rock wool for industrial insulation, which is composed of many fine hairs, which are easy to fly into the air and fall into the human body and penetrate into the pores, making people itchy and scratching on the skin, if it is inhaled into the respiratory tract, it is even more uncomfortable.

Use it once and last for two or three hours.

Open the package of frostbite cream, the itch powder penetrates into the pores for two or three hours, and on one side the wound is frost cracked and the other side is very itchy and I want to scratch it, this picture is very wonderful to think about.

The supply of rock wool let Kenichi Yasuda go to it, and as the drugs are loaded and shipped to the Northeast, you can operate a little bit to mix the goods on the way.

After arriving in Tohoku, boxes of frostbite cream were distributed.

The Japanese army has a strong demand for this daily necessities, and in this era, there is no other way to heat than the thick ones worn by the fire, and it is always easy to get frostbite when you have been outside, and the exposed parts of the hands and face are especially in the hardest-hit areas.

After they received frostbite cream, they applied Fujita brand frostbite cream to the frostbitten area every day.

A wonderful scene ensued.

The first Japanese soldier began to scratch his face, at first it was still a small force, for fear that his face would be scratched, and he endured it, but it became more and more itchy, and the more itchy he was, the more he wanted to scratch it, until he couldn't bear it anymore, and he began to scratch his face vigorously, and the marks were scratched by his fingernails, and the frost-cracked wound was ruptured again as soon as it healed.

"Ahh Why is it so itchy! "The agonized Japanese wailed, and they had to be clawed while wailing.

At first, some people laughed at it, how could it be so itchy? And as the blood on his face appeared, he realized that things had become a little terrifying.

Everyone has hairs on their bodies, but they are just hairs from stones, and the itch seems to be contagious, and it quickly spreads in the barracks of several cities in the northeast.

It's okay to grab the face, at least on the outside of the clothes, it's easy to catch, but inadvertently the Japanese soldiers who have frostbite on their buttocks, arms, and backs are miserable, and they wear too thick, and they scratch their boots and itch.

I still have to take off my clothes and scratch hard naked.

Pestilence!

This matter immediately spread to the hospital, to the military police headquarters, and there was a water supply unit outside the city that was studying bacteria, and ordinary people didn't know about it, but their high-level still knew about it.

For a while, it was like a great enemy, thinking that the plague had spread.

The water supply troops were on standby, and sent people into the city to investigate the patients, and it was itchy to check that it had nothing to do with them.

"Maybe it's a skin disease."

The itchy powder that can penetrate the pores of the skin is not visible to the naked eye at all, and this is a new thing, and the people who give the water troops are not scratching their heads.

It's none of their business.

It was two of the soldiers who coughed up hemoptysis that caught their mind.

"Tuberculosis bacteria?" The investigators of the water supply unit are like a great enemy.

The first reaction was to retreat, and the second reaction was to immediately take out the mask and put it on.

When the news was sent back to Japan, the Military Medical Bureau immediately held a meeting.

Everyone's face was serious, and Koizumi Jiuhiko's face was even more ugly, tuberculosis was a terminal disease, and the lethality was huge.

He said solemnly: "According to our data, the incubation period of tuberculosis is more than one month, which means that although the number of diseases found in Manchuria is not large, a large-scale outbreak of tuberculosis may occur at any time!"

Kitano-kun, how is the progress of tuberculosis research? ”

Masaji Kitano, head of the Health Division of the Medical Bureau, shook his head sadly: "At present, no effective solution has been found against tuberculosis bacteria. ”

"What about Manchuria?"

"Shiro Ishii didn't report, and there should be no progress."

It's useless to say anything without medicine, and it's useless to fart when the meeting is open.

After the meeting, Zhou Qinghe continued with his own affairs, although tuberculosis broke out, but this did not affect his plan to continue.

Messages were sent to the British and American consulates that a new disease was breaking out in Manchuria that caused skin ulceration and was highly contagious, because the Military Medical Bureau was charging huge kickbacks on the purchase of drugs and indulging drug manufacturers in the use of moldy production lines.

also said, "As long as you can't die for a while, you can do it, anyway, you will die after a year or two, and there is no need to use some medicine." ”

Do you say all this kind of thing?

The people of the Anglo-American consulate in such an army scandal are certainly interested!

I immediately contacted the consulate in Tohoku to ask if there was such a thing, and when I learned that someone was indeed sick, I immediately began to report on the incident in the international media and local Japanese media, along with several photos of the Japanese soldiers scratching and festering skin that they had bought with money.

As soon as the news came out, it attracted the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the army was disgraced internationally, and Koizumi Kuhiko was called to a high-level meeting.

On the other hand, after the domestic newspapers reported it, public opinion immediately boiled.

"This word is so vicious!"

"Is the one who says this still a human being?"

"The corrupt dogs of the Military Medical Bureau actually embezzled 80 million!"

Words are especially infuriating, and numbers are even more intuitive.

It was not enough for them to contribute all the men in their families to fight the war, but they also saved money to step up production, just for the new prime minister's national production plan to support the war.

They only have eight yuan a month for a man, and 80 million for a military medical bureau to embezzle, that's a bunch of brutes!

Discontent spread through the streets, and an information briefing was handed to Emperor Hirohito.

Zhou Qinghe would come to see Hirohito every day, and Lei couldn't move to show concern, so he saw Hirohito with a black face scolding his mother.

"Fujita, is this true?" Hirohito looked at Zhou Qinghe and asked.

Zhou Qinghe glanced at the newspaper and said casually: "Maybe, the probability of corruption in this kind of position has always been very high, and from what I know from my work these days, the staffing of the Military Medical Bureau is very stable, because of technical reasons, it will not be changed for more than ten years, and after a long time, no one will find out about corruption, in fact, this system is really bad."

Your Majesty, I have a straight temperament, what do I say to you, it's just a guess, you should ask the military department for details, I have a short working time, and this procurement is not my scope of work. ”

"All I want is what you say." Hirohito didn't say anything after speaking, and he didn't know what he was thinking with a calm face.

"Your Majesty, in fact, there is a shortage of military spending now, I think you can take this incident to take the opportunity to clean up the embezzlers, first, to search out their money and enrich the treasury, and second."

Zhou Qinghe nodded at the newspaper: "I don't know enough about the Military Medical Bureau now, but when I went out shopping with Chiba, I learned about the lives of low-level citizens, and I know more about their lives."

They are living on a tight basis and support the war, but they also have resentment in their hearts and feel that life is very difficult, so I think the cabinet can actually do something.

I used to read the history of the Three Kingdoms in China, and there was such a scene in the book, Cao Cao had no food in his hands before the war, which was enough to eat for three days, but he asked the quartermaster to reduce the daily quota and kill some horse meat to eat, and the food for two days was just enough to eat for a month.

At the beginning of the war, the quartermaster was killed, his head was hoisted, and then the last day's food was taken out for the soldiers to be fed, and the whole army attacked.

The result was a big win.

I think that's what it means to be united. ”

The advantage of the emperor system is that you can engage in a word hall, and there is Zhou Qing and such a popular minister around him.

Combined with newspaper events and popular criticism.

Hirohito strongly agreed with Zhou's suggestion.

And Cao Cao, a hero in the Three Kingdoms period, did the same, which is a historical experience.

"This is all a manifestation of the inaction of the previous army prime ministers, the defeat of the Kwantung Army, and the corruption of the Military Medical Bureau, which is simply an unforgivable crime!"

The new Minister of Ryū was Hirohito's former chief of guard, and he soon received an order from Hirohito to ask the Ministry of War to investigate the accounts of the Medical Bureau in recent years, and he wanted to see the final report.

Don't forget to add a very intimate sentence under the reminder of some people.

"The matter of the Military Medical Bureau involves professionalism, the Ministry of War has set up an investigation team, and you send someone to be the team leader, with Fujita Kazuqing as the deputy team leader, so as not to be deceived by those black-hearted liars and don't know!"
