"It's really crazy, His Majesty the Emperor has made the Admiral Prime Minister, the intention is obvious, they dare to do this?"

"It's not surprising, I won't let go of me, as soon as the people of Mitsui Mitsubishi let go this time, isn't it all in vain for so many years?

In terms of influence in the navy, who is better than our Yasuda family? ”

This is also true, Zhou Qinghe nodded in approval.

However, I thought that the war would go smoothly to Southeast Asia, but now it seems that the situation in the country has not eased at all.

The Japanese Army must want to make achievements, and it will only fight more frantically.

Kenichi Yasuda continued: "Mitsui-Mitsubishi's people are desperately defending, and those high-ranking people in the army don't want to lose power, and their contradictions with the navy are too deep, and now some people in the political circles are supporting Mitsui Mitsubishi again. ”

"What's going on?" Zhou Qinghe asked.

Konoe Fumima was able to push for the removal of the cabinet, and it stands to reason that people in the political circles should be on his side.

"Let's spend money." Kenichi Yasuda is also looking for the most likely situation to guess: "I guess they must have spent a lot of money to buy, someone from the navy served as prime minister, this is the first time since the start of the war, I'm afraid, no matter how big the price is, I have to fight, this is the bottom line for them." ”

"Well, the resistance will be great." Zhou Qinghe drank tea and thought about it, thought about it and asked: "The prime minister is on our side, and the strength of the military department is not small in our family plus the Konowei clan, so can't we forcibly award the rhythm?" ”

Kenichi Yasuda said: "Military power, all our recent efforts with the Konoe clan are to take the position of the Ministry of the Army.

But don't forget, in the front-line troops, like the Kwantung Army and the Central China Dispatch Army, they are all old men of the army.

There is a saying in China that there will be no foreign military orders, unless we take the entire army ministry and unify the military orders, otherwise the military departments will be divided into two factions to fight each other, and the military department will have someone to protect them, and the people on the front line will not be afraid. ”

"Use the reason that the military order is not clear."

Zhou Qinghe nodded, then sneered and sighed: "This is our weakness, it is easy to take the position of the military department. The generals who led the troops, then our Fujita family and Yasuda family, there are really no outstanding characters. ”

"yes." Kenichi Yasuda could only smile helplessly, picked up the teacup and took a sip and said: "Like your father, the jade is broken on this road, otherwise we will work hard behind our backs, how can we help a general out, then we can master all the way." ”

Then you don't have such a good son-in-law. Zhou Qinghe pursed his lips and smiled bitterly.

"How? What did you get out of this trip? ”

After talking about the reasons for the recent changes in the situation, Kenichi Yasuda asked with great interest about the harvest of Zhou Qinghe's trip.

He was mainly curious about what gifts he had gotten.

Every time I go to a country, there is always a high-level gift from the top of that country to show personal friendship.

Fujita Kazukiyo brought back a lot, he liked everything, and when he said it later, it was the glory of the Yasuda family.

Sending books, cigars, and ornaments, things are not expensive, and the main thing is the same meaning.

Churchill was an old smoker who loved to smoke cigars, so he gave him a collection of Cuban cigars, and Zhou Qinghe was afraid of being poisoned, so he didn't dare to try it.

At night, Zhou Qinghe went to the nurses' residence to find Ma Qingqing, they lived near Fujita's house, so that the Fujita family's samurai helped protect them, and the province was harassed by the underworld.

"What's the news lately?" Zhou Qinghe mainly came to understand the domestic trends, Japan's part, China's part, and together, the situation was very real for him.

Ma Qingqing replied, "Now the Japanese army mainly wants to attack Chongqing, but the Yangtze River moat, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they can't enter, so they still adopt a large-scale bombing strategy."

Strange to say, the Japanese bombardment has become more frequent recently, and the local Japanese newspapers have been praising the bombing of Chongqing for achieving a major victory, which has dealt a blow to the stubbornness of Chiang's army in Chongqing.

The damage to houses in Chongqing is relatively serious, but the situation is not dangerous for the time being. ”

"Well, what else?" The army counterattacked, and the bombing was fierce and normal.

"There is also the establishment of the Wang Rebellion government, and the capital is Nanjing."

"It's really slow to do things, it took so long to get established, it seems that the negotiation of the interests of a bunch of traitors is not going well, it's all fancy intestines."

Zhou Qinghe knew about this and sneered, "Go on." ”

"The blockade has become stricter, and Boss Dai sent a telegram asking if there is a way to increase transportation, and now it is even more difficult over there."

"This is probably the result of the recent actions of the military department."

Zhou Qinghe read the war report of the military department, and the current strategy of the Japanese army is to encircle and suppress, and the specific method is to cut off all transportation channels in the periphery of China.

When the army fights, there is often a plan of action to cut off the grain and grass.

It is generally implemented for a single army.

What the Japanese army is now carrying out is to implement a food shortage plan for the whole of China in all directions.

Medicine, weapons, grain, salt, sugar, oil, all necessary supplies, cut off all routes of transportation from abroad, land, sea and air, all sealed.

In the past, it was the land and water of Shanghai and Guangzhou, Fujian, but now even the land route from Soviet Russia to the country has been cut off by them.

Ideally, the Chinese army would have fewer and fewer weapons, fewer and fewer shells, less and less food, and the energy would be consumed.

The army and navy fought and did not listen to the prime minister, and that person was not stupid, and came up with a plan that was at least theoretically feasible, otherwise no one would be able to bear the emperor's wrath.

This is also the main reason why the Navy can't do anything about them.

The emperor hesitated, feeling that the army could work again.

"I'm trying to figure it out, is there anything else?"

Ma Qingqing thought for a while, "There is also the Red Party, the Japanese Army's North China Front Army implements a three-light policy on the Red Party's base areas, it seems to be called a spring sweep, Soviet Russia's aid to them has been cut off, and the Japanese army has swept again, and the Red Party should not be having a good time now." ”

"There is nothing strange about this, anti-communism is the big theme of fascism, the Japanese can nominally tolerate Chongqing, but they can't bear the Red Party, especially since they were beaten by Soviet Russia and suffered a big loss."

Zhou Qinghe waved his hand, and the matter of the Red Party was not discussed with them more, "How is Shanghai?" ”

"Shanghai is quite normal at the moment."

"Hmm."

According to the time calculation, since the matter of Wang Wei's government has only been negotiated for a short time, Zhou Qinghe expects that Ying Zuo Zhengzhao will not have time to care about the affairs of spies.

As for Tu Feiyuan, that guy still thought about closing the door of the bamboo machine in Manchuria.

After thinking about it behind closed doors, a pot of Shiro Ishii's defection fell from the sky.

Hirohito was so angry that he sent a message to scold him, asking him why Shiro Ishii was not thinking right, and he, the person who was overseer, didn't notice it early.

The person ran away, and no matter how he explained it, he was pale and powerless.

Zhou Qinghe really didn't want to target him in this matter, he could only say that it was a coincidence, who made the Northeast his basic plate.

After learning the information, Zhou Qinghe asked them to rest more, do more surgery, and go out for a walk.

There is no need to do anything special, in Japan, they tried their best to collect information, and it didn't work for Zhou Qinghe to make a phone call and ask directly.

Therefore, you just need to live a life, collect some folk knowledge, and be a good microphone.

As for safety, the National Police Agency is responsible for civilian security, and the military police is responsible for military inspections.

The former is the power of the Fujita family, and the latter is the sphere of influence of the Fujita family, who dares to move?

After chatting with them for a while, Zhou Qinghe returned to Fujita's house.

Now that he is the head of the family, especially after being promoted to viscount, the courtier's respect is even greater, and all the way in, the manor is full of bows and greetings.

"I'm back." Hidetake Fujita came out of the back room and said hello loudly.

"I'm back, I'm exhausted." Zhou Qinghe smiled helplessly.

Fujita Hidetake punched Zhou Qinghe in the shoulder: "It's all over, right?" ”

"I'm done running, so I don't have to run for the time being."

Zhou Qinghe entered the inner room, said hello to the elder Fujita Ichiro, and then said to Fujita Yingwu: "I have something to ask you about, I am going to let you go to the Chinese battlefield." ”

"Huh?" Fujita Hidetake reacted in surprise, "Why did you suddenly let me out, is there any news from the military department?" ”

Fujita Ichiro also listened with his ears pricked up: "Sit and talk." ”

"You go out first." Waiting for the maids to pour the tea, Zhou Qinghe waved them away, "This cabinet change, according to Yasuda and Konoe's meaning, wants to guide the military department to Southeast Asia, and that is also where the navy wants to go." ”

"Hmm." The two nodded, they both knew it.

"But the army doesn't do it, Mitsui Mitsubishi's people counterattack is very fierce, and the front-line generals can't be commanded by us, I mean Yingwu, it's time for you to go out of the mountain, our strength in the front-line army is weak, and this point will be improved."

Fujita Hidetake nodded slowly: "Then I understand what you mean, but why now?" If I go to the Chinese battlefield now and wait until the navy gets the dominant position, then I won't go in vain? ”

It's better to wait for the navy to get the dominance, and to follow the navy directly.

"It's a good opportunity now." Zhou Qinghe smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Who said how long it will take for the navy to take the lead?"

Even if the navy takes the lead, Ling is now Dazuo, and he is the captain of the wing when he goes to the front line, and he is not even a brigade commander, how many soldiers can he bring?

3,000 people only.

If you go to the Chinese battlefield now, you are also the captain of the wing, and you will mix up a little, and in a year, we will push you to a major general, and then you will go out with the navy, and you will be the brigade commander, and there will be 8,000 people guaranteed.

It is certainly easier to fight that kind of small place than to fight China, it is much easier, and the army will suffer a loss on the map of China.

And what about those places? I asked the navy to directly bombard you, and if you go up to pick up the credit, can the meritorious service speed be the same? ”

Fujita Hidetake smiled when he heard this, and kept nodding: "It makes sense, you really have to prepare early, hey, you said that the front-line troops are all from the army now, can I get a good position?" ”

It's easy to go to the army, but what troops to bring is a saying.

"I think that when my father went out, he had to be the commander of the gendarmerie first, and then he thought about transferring the commander of the division, I went out, and the good army wouldn't bring it to me. And we don't deal with the Mitsui Mitsubishi family. ”

"I've already figured out where to go, the First Seed Division, the famous one, I also guarantee that you can go in."

"Oh? Which troops? Fujita's eyes lit up.

Fujita Ichiro also adjusted his sitting posture and listened carefully.

Zhou Qinghe smiled: "Osaka Division." ”

"Poof, ahem, ahem." Fujita Hidetake choked on the tea, and his face changed greatly: "You let me be with those wastes?" Don't go! ”

Fujita Ichiro also had three words of incomprehension written on his face, and interjected: "Why did you go to the Osaka Division?" Their reputation is not very good, and the officers from top to bottom are basically businessmen, and they are notoriously war-afraid.

And I heard that they are still doing business with the Chinese army, reselling supplies, and going to this army with heroic forces will not damage the reputation of the Fujita family? ”

"You guys underestimate this army." Zhou Qinghe smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and drank slowly: "Actually, it's not just you, almost everyone in the military department underestimates this army."

Zhou Qinghe looked at Fujita Yingwu: "This is also the reason why you can go in, you are a person who has never led soldiers and has been an instructor in the school, the position of the first division regiment, the position of the wing captain, how many people are staring?" Why are you giving it to you? ”

"But." Fujita Hidetake still looked awkward: "The reputation is too stinky." ”

"You say underestimated, how do you say it exactly?" Fujita Ichiro is much more stable and asks the key directly.

Zhou Qinghe put down the teacup, "This is the key to asking, I can tell you that the Osaka Division is the unit with the highest proportion of medicine and the lowest battle losses among all divisions." ”

"Huh?" Fujita Hidetake's eyes widened, "The battle damage is the lowest, and the medicine proportion is the highest, can these two appear at the same time?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Qinghe smiled: "The war is hard, ask the headquarters for resources, and then sell the resources backhanded, there is no capital to buy, the medicine is fragrant, it is very easy to sell." ”

"Shameless." Fujita Hidetake looks down on this kind of villain the most, "You should cut off their supplies, and it's a waste to give them medicine." ”

"How? People can do this for so long without accidents, and you have no one behind them? Zhou Qinghe raised his eyebrows: "Osaka is a division formed by a merchant collective, which collective does the merchant have the closest contact with?"

Politician!

Do you know how many parliamentarians are funded behind their backs?

I cut off other people's supplies, and I was asking for trouble. ”

"Then why should I go?" Hidetake Fujita still didn't feel good when he heard it.

"Because I can live." Zhou Qinghe nodded the table: "Yingwu, you have to understand, you went out this time, not to charge and kill the enemy, your father is dead, and you are the only one in our family who can go out to lead the troops, you can't let me go out to lead a wing, right?"

Or do you rely on the side children of those captains and young people? ”

"That can't be." Let Fujita Kazukiyo go out of the headquarters, and Hidetake is not so stupid.

As for the sidelines, that's a bit rubbish indeed.

"When you go to the Chinese battlefield this time, just one word, mix, follow the Osaka Division, what they do, you can do it, you learn a little, don't think people are stupid, they can achieve the lowest battle loss ratio in the Chinese battlefield, which shows that they are shrewd.

The fact that they were able to sell the quartermaster without accident shows that there are people behind them and their strength is still very large.

What does it mean that they sold so many military supplies? Money in hand.

Their equipment is definitely the top three in the A division, and when the war in Southeast Asia begins, this unit will operate in the past, and it will be all due to the decay.

Also, the encirclement and suppression of the military department sounds wonderful, but things are not so easy.

Now to fight Southeast Asia, the military budget is still more abundant, and if we fight it later, the fighters will be missed, and the military expenditure will only be less.

But the Osaka Division, I dare say that there is beef in Dunton, and it should be your piece that will not be missing. ”

It sounds like the treatment is not bad, but in fact, Fujita Hidetake doesn't care about the treatment, anyway, he can't be hungry as an officer anywhere, it's just awkward.

Thinking about serving the country, he ended up selling military supplies to the enemy, and the gap was too big.

Fujita Ichiro figured it out, and said seriously: "Yingwu, you should go, the Fujita family must produce a general with troops, and Qing is the best arrangement for you, don't forget how your father died, safety is the first thing." ”

The old man's words were very effective, and Fujita Hidetake immediately paused: "Hi." ”

Zhou Qinghe continued: "After you go, you can do what they do, and if they sell, you let them sell, and don't care about anything."

After they know the relationship between you and me, they will definitely want to ask me for more assistance through you, and you can agree, this is the basis for the foundation I have prepared for you.

As long as you can provide value, I'm sure these businessmen will love you as the new Wing Captain. ”

"Thank you." Hidetake Fujita paused.

"Is it difficult to arrange for it to be in?" Fujita Ichiro asked, "This unit is now under the name of the Kwantung Army, right?" ”

"Hmm." Zhou Qinghe smiled: "There will be no difficulty, this army is indeed a little smarter."

In the battle of Mongolia, the battle was unfavorable, and the Kwantung Army command ordered the troops outside to urgently support the battlefield.

The Osaka Division was the first to receive the order, but it was the last to arrive, and by the time they arrived, the peace talks were over.

Who would dare to ask for it?

Oh yes, I heard that when they arrived, they helped the friendly army clean up the battlefield, and picked up a bunch of rags and went back, probably to whom they wanted to sell them. ”

Fujita Hidetake's blood pressure soared when he listened: "If I were the commander, I would order the commander of this division to be killed!" ”

"Then you're dead, and people don't have anything to do."

Zhou Qinghe smiled: "The reputation is a little stinky, but it won't be difficult for you to get in, if you send a telegram to them, showing that you want to go in, I think they look at the name Fujita Kazukiyo, and are even willing to pay to invite you in, then it will be much more convenient to get medicine." ”

Fujita Hidetake was speechless, "The military department doesn't punish such a big thing, is this a delay in the fighter?" ”

"People have a reason, they encountered a war on the road, and the fight broke out and they were dragged down."

"What war?"

"Who knows, it could be a militia squad of the Red Party, right?

It is not surprising that several thousand members of the Osaka Division and militia squads of the Red Party fought back and forth in the mountains.

He told the military department that there were several thousand people in the Red Party, and they could still make a fortune on medicine, and you could see that when they went to the door, no one died, and the garbage was sold for a sum of money, and the military needs were reported for a sum of money, so it was impossible to be poor. ”

“.”

The next day, Zhou Qinghe went to the military headquarters to walk the door.

This Fujita Hidetake went to the Osaka Division, and sooner or later he was assimilated, and with his assistance, I believe that people grow up quickly.

Then the Osaka Division was transferred to the front line, and the Chinese army would have a huge resource line.

What is missing, Zhou Qinghe transferred him from Japan from Shanghai, and he used warships to transfer it.

Isn't it normal for war materials to be allocated to divisions and regiments?

And the members of the Osaka Division, don't they have to support the Fujita family?

The Osaka Division is the first Class A Division that Zhou Qinghe wants to take.

As for other transportation channels, think about it.

After entering the Military Affairs Bureau, Zhou Qinghe came to the personnel department, and the section chief had dealt with him, and the relationship between everyone was still good.

As soon as I entered the door of the personnel department, I saw an infantry lieutenant and an aviation lieutenant fighting in a martial arts fight, firing a real fire and smashing the office into a mess.

The head of the personnel section walked out of the office and asked angrily, "Stop! What to do! ”

The two of them turned a deaf ear and were still fighting.

"If you don't stop, I'll ask the gendarmerie to help you calm down, call the gendarme!"

"Hey!"

Just pretended, and immediately someone stepped forward to pull the rack.

"Don't fight, if you fight again, the gendarmes will come."

"You don't want to be locked up, do you?"

"Almost."

Under persuasion, the two were pulled away, and they glared at each other, unconvinced, and wanted to fight.

The head of the personnel section saw Zhou Qinghe and immediately smiled: "Section chief Fujita is here?" Come, please come in. ”

"What's wrong?" Zhou Qinghe asked as he walked.

The head of the personnel section sighed: "The two people of the Kwantung Army are not in the Mongolian trouble."
