Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 52: Worry
"Eugen, this is Salted Fish One, ah, this is Sailfish One, the signal is very clear, we are preparing to return." Lieutenant Adrian Yeager reported under the oxygen mask.
"This is the last location. One more turn is needed." Sergeant Hann, the back seat observer, shouted, and Jaeger responded with a thumbs up.
"Look below, there is at least one infantry battalion." Hann sighed while pressing the camera shutter.
"The shot is clearer. This is for the head of state to see. Don't screw it up." The pilot held the joystick, and the water reconnaissance plane hovered gently in the air.
"Don't worry about my technology. Okay, the last two negatives. The mission has been completed. Before dark, I hope we can find a wide surface of water to land." Hann said as he took it back. With the high magnification lens of the surveillance camera, the navigator did not forget to point at the Suzhou River below. The chaotic Japanese troops waved goodbye.
"Red deer, idiot, don't run around, what does this look like, that plane is just a reconnaissance plane." Zong Fangcao brandished his ninety-five saber angrily.
"Can you tell which country it is from?" Zong Fang turned his face and asked in a low voice.
"It's the plane of an independent countryman." Da Gu held Cao Zong's 93-type telescope, his eyes fixed on the seaplane hovering overhead.
"Surely, isn’t it a Chinese plane?"
"It belongs to the country alone, I have seen it in foreign magazines, and the logo on the plane is also from the country alone." Dagu nodded affirmatively.
"Zhe Xi, worthy of being the son of a big family, he is more knowledgeable than this group of country folks." Zong Fang patted Dagu on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
"Listen well, this is an airplane of an independent country and allies. Don’t run around, red deer. Are you still like the emperor. Ono and other soldiers, stand me at attention immediately. I have to let you understand what a Japanese man is today. The spirit of Yamato." Cao Chang rolled up his sleeve and walked towards an unfortunate high-ranking soldier.
"The current attitude of the special mission is like this. We need to wait for a reply from Berlin. Given that the head of state is currently visiting Rome, it may be a little later to make a decision." Colonel Davidson said to Sir George, the British Consul General in Shanghai.
"You mean, Germany is going to stay out of the way" Sir George fiddled with the pipe in his hand.
"It's not what you think, Sir. This is only temporary. Germany will maintain a neutral position in this incident until a definite order is obtained." Colonel Davidson raised his hand, and an army staff The folder was handed to his hand.
"This is what Marshal Blumberg meant. At the same time, the Marshal also hopes that you can increase your efforts to solve this assassination as soon as possible. The Marshal hopes that before he leaves Shanghai, he can see the murderer and the mastermind behind the scenes being arrested. "Davidson said and put the folder in front of George.
"This is part of the photos taken at the scene, I hope it can help solve the case."
"According to the information I have received, the assassination is probably related to the Nanjing government of China, perhaps to express dissatisfaction with the cooperation between Germany and Chongqing." Sir George opened the folder and looked through it.
"Do you have any evidence in this regard. If this is true, then Nanjing, China, will face revenge from Germany. They will know the price of challenging the dignity of the Greater German Empire." Colonel Davidson Frowned.
“There is no conclusive evidence for the time being, but our agents are stepping up the investigation and have some relevant clues. Inspector Watson of the Ministry of Industry’s patrol room has worked for Scotland Yard for 20 years. This kind of vicious case is very experienced. So for this assassination, I trust Mr. Watson's professional judgment." Sir George took out the tobacco pouch and twisted a handful of golden tobacco.
"If it is possible, Sir, I would like to meet with the Chief Inspector Watson." Colonel Davidson reached out and pressed Sir George's arm.
"There is no problem at all, Colonel, you just have to say a specific time and I will arrange the rest." Jazz struck a match and lit his pipe.
"It is incomprehensible for the Germans to say that they remain neutral. The Japanese rebel army just killed three Germans." Colonel Faber, the director of the French Concession's patrol house, made an exaggerated expression of surprise on his face.
"Don't do this, I understand what you mean, Fabre. This is politics. It seems that the Germans have their own calculations and cannot use their power for the time being. But it doesn't matter. Twenty-four Hours later, the whole world will know what happened here. These pesky Japanese monkeys must pay a price that satisfies us to quell the dissatisfaction of the entire Western world with their barbaric behavior." Aoqi turned her head and looked out the window. The sun had already been set. Half of the sky was dyed red, and the French Consul General in Shanghai raised his hand to light up the lamp on his desk.
At the end of the incident, it was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Matsuoka who took the initiative to lead the Japanese Army and Navy forces that had been under heavy siege. The Japanese government can be said to have lost face in this incident. It is conceivable to wait until the internal investigation. After unfolding, it is not known how many people will be implicated.
Matsuoka’s nose was almost crooked, and the red deer of the army really couldn’t trust him. Fortunately, he handed over the matter to Shigeru Sawada. When he turned around, he found that the lieutenant did not rush to the scene at all. I asked the army headquarters to find out that this guy ran to Sichuan Road to fight with the Marine Corps.
The lieutenant general and the rear admiral, in front of a group of subordinates, huddled together on the ground like two street hooligans. It was simply frantic and absurd. Matsuoka has never heard of it.
Matsuoka is determined to write a memorial to the emperor. In addition to severely punishing the perpetrators in this incident, he also tried his best to impeach the 13th Army Commander Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru the following high officials. The crimes were dereliction of duty and incompetence. , Reckless and reckless, ignoring the overall situation, rude and rude, ignoring military regulations, acting arbitrarily.
Anyway, this matter has to be thrown away. Shigeru Sawada's official position and rank are just right. A military commander should be able to stop the Western powers.
As for the issue of compensation for losses, Matsuoka didn’t have much to think about. After all, the South Building of Chinachem Hotel was beaten like a sieve, and the burned truck blackened half of the outer wall of the North Building~IndoMTL.com~More What makes people vomit blood is that the Army lost the battle just like this, and nearly two hundred officers and soldiers were injured or killed. Many of them were seriously injured and they would probably need to retire after they recovered. However, the losses of the other party did not add up to a fraction of Japan's. Everyone could see that the Japanese army suffered a disastrous defeat in Shanghai.
There is nothing more inspiring China’s resisters than this. Matsuoka can foresee that once this event spreads in China, it will definitely cause some blow to the morale of the Japanese front-line combat troops, and it will also give Chongqing The confidence to continue resisting with those anti-Japanese organizations in the north.
What makes Matsuoka even more disturbed is the huge hidden danger behind this incident. Houtong readily confessed to Matsuoka that it was the assassination that he had planned, and he personally found someone to assassinate the German Marshal. He did so for the purpose of arousing German dissatisfaction with the Chongqing government, and also warning Germany not to Continue to cooperate with China.
From his starting point, this staff officer is indeed thinking about the great cause of the imperial nation. The problem is that this guy is a madman with lofty ambitions, and he never thought about the serious consequences that would be caused if the truth was exposed. .
Now Matsuoka can only pray that the assassin Liu Agen will hide in the slums of Huxi according to Houdong's arrangement, but now that the matter is so big, this Liu Agen is not an idiot, and he must be vigilant.
Matsuoka is worried that this idiot should not be smart and choose to hide in the two concessions. If this person falls into the hands of the concession, Matsuoka dare not continue thinking about it.
