Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 242: The big fire (7:5)
Although Kagesaki Akira has a backstage, Maeda Masami is not a soft persimmon that anyone can knead. The major general has a cousin named Maeda Yong. The adoptive father of Maeda was killed by the Russian army outside of Kaiyuan City during the Russo-Japanese War. The commander of the 22nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Takarei Maeda (post-death special promotion), Maeda He inherited the baronial title of Takarei Maeda and is now a member of the Japanese government's aristocratic council, and he can also catch a few words in front of Prime Minister Konoe.
Being entrapped by this group of subordinates, if Maeda Masashi is not punished, he will never want to be active in this system in the future. There are many cases of chief officers being killed by subordinates in the Japanese army, but subordinates are dealt with by chief officers more. Superior officers are inherently class superior. If a superior wants to retaliate against subordinates, there is no need to find any reason at all.
Actually, even if the Germans didn't ask for it, Maeda would still attack No. 76. Maybe it won't be as fierce as it is now, but it definitely makes Kagesano and his ilk feel heartache. However, since the Germans had already made the request, Maeda took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and dealt with the mad dogs raised by Kagezu at one time. This technocrat did not even have any psychological pressure.
Maeda is not a good person. Although he has not been on the line of fire, the Chinese laborers and prisoners of war who died directly or indirectly in the projects he was responsible for have no accurate statistics, but according to the files that will be destroyed in the future, Initial estimates may exceed one million people. Maeda, a high-ranking engineer, seems to not be responsible for the killing of laborers. It is the Kwantung Army Headquarters who ordered the garrison and the gendarmerie. But to say that the deaths of these people have nothing to do with him, it is purely. Although Maeda escaped the post-war liability liquidation, he could not erase the crimes he committed on Chinese soil.
Now this major general of the Japanese army may be facing the "enemy" he wants to kill for the first time in his life, and just two weeks ago, he slapped his shoulders and praised him as a hero of the Japanese Empire.
This time, from planning to implementation, Foreign Minister Matsuoka participated in the entire process. In the words of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, this is to supervise the cabinet on behalf of the cabinet. The purpose is to ensure that the action is foolproof and will not happen again. Surprising accident. The current purge on the 76th has not only alarmed the cabinet and the staff headquarters, but even the Japanese naval units stationed in Shanghai have also participated. For example, the intelligence department of the Shanghai Special Marine Corps provided a lot of important materials. Obviously, the 76th has been under surveillance by the Japanese naval intelligence department, and it has been going on for quite a while.
At this time, the Army should not complain about the Navy’s “cross-border” behavior, but also solemnly thank it. I don't know how secretly the Japanese naval headquarters will be, but the army can only bite the teeth and wipe the bayonet. The depressed air in my heart seems to be vented on the heads of the spies.
"Since you are already enlightened, then leave this to you to do!" Matsuoka's cold voice seemed to be ringing in his ears. Masami Maeda took a deep breath, pulled his right hand out of the sleeve of the kimono, and steadily held up the sake glass.
"I invite you two here this time. There is indeed one thing that needs to be handled by both of you." After Maeda finished speaking, he took a sip of sake and put down the wine glass and picked up a bunch of chicken again.
"After the last incident, we have received reliable information. Chongqing has recently sent a group of new agents to Shanghai. They are ready to follow the opportunity of our contraction to rebuild an intelligence network in the concession and wait for opportunities Initiate anti-Japanese activities." Maeda said to the two spy leaders according to the script prepared in advance.
"We have also heard such rumors that Jiang Zhongzheng’s personality is like this. He always likes to play tricks under the table." The first person who spoke was Ding Mocun. After he finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and picked it up from the plate in front of him. Made a slice of sashimi.
"I will send someone to stare at the inn and the pier when I go back, and when I find new faces appear, I will watch them." Li Shiqun grabbed the flask and filled Maeda's glass with drinks.
"As expected of Li Sang, just do as you said. If necessary, you can mobilize the gendarmerie in Hongkou. I will give orders to Mori Dazuo." Maeda threw the bamboo stick on the table.
"If there is the gendarmerie to help, then we have nothing to worry about. No matter who Chongqing sends, as long as he steps on the beach, he will not be able to get out of our palms." Li Shiqun said with a serious face. Go to ~IndoMTL.com~ and remember, Li Sang, try to capture as lively as possible. The living will always be more useful than the dead. "Maeda spoke Chinese here. When he was studying at the Army University, the foreign language courses reported in Chinese. After the Kwantung Army, he followed the interpreter of the traitor of the headquarters and learned the standard Zhili Mandarin. The pronunciation of the words is a little harder, and Japanese grammar is often used incorrectly.
"Understood, Your Excellency, we must do our best to catch as much life as possible." Li Shiqun replied respectfully, and by the way gave Ding Mo Village a triumphant glance.
Ding Mocun’s face was a bit ugly at the moment, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, and a gentle smile appeared on his face again.
And all of this was reflected in Maeda’s eyes. Seeing these two guys who never forgot to fight each other until their deaths, a sense of superiority of the Yamato nation spontaneously emerged in the major general’s heart. As for the major general’s heart to the navy Disgust, of course, was selectively left behind at this time.
