Chapter 992 He works for Tojo
Lin Mansion, study.
Lin Ze did not go to the gendarmerie headquarters for the past two days. He stayed at home all day and even took the time to hold a small family dinner at home. He specially invited Miura Hide and some celebrities from Tianjin. He looked like he was confident about this investigation.
Originally, a case analysis meeting was supposed to be held today, but Lin Ze asked Bei Yuan to claim illness and postpone the meeting for two days.
Niu Saner pushed the door open and walked in. He had been keeping his nerves tense these past two days.
Because Niu Saner had a premonition that what was going to happen next might be the most important game that Master Lin had ever faced.
Master Lin has seen all kinds of storms, so he can naturally remain calm. However, as the butler, Niu Saner must take care of all the details and must not let anyone down.
"Master, it's confirmed. That person is indeed an officer from the Jinling Expeditionary Force Headquarters. He didn't take the special train, but instead boarded a regular passenger train. After arriving in Tianjin, he went into an izakaya. Last night, Doi Yucheng stayed in that izakaya for about twenty minutes."
Lin Ze took a cigarette from the cigarette tray on the table, and Niu Saner quickly stepped forward to light it.
Under the light of the desk lamp, the smoke appeared light blue and curled up.
"Those from Jinling are Hata Shungo's men. Only Hata Shungo can order Major General Doi Hasumi around like this. So what does Hata Shungo want to do? Why are they coming to Jinling?"
It is said that there is no early rise without profit. This group of people acted sneakily. They sent people from Tokyo, brought people from the Manchurian Railway to cover up their tracks, and secretly sent people from Nanjing to infiltrate.
What do they picture?
Just then, someone from the telecommunications room came to deliver a telegram.
Niu Saner handed it to Lin Ze without even looking at it.
Lin Ze didn't answer, still lost in thought. He smoked a cigarette and said, "Read it to me."
Niu Saner unfolded the telegram. "It's from Tokyo. Xiao Jiang Dagui said that after returning from Shanghai, Sanpu Xiu was not favored by his superiors in the military general staff. However, he is a graduate of the Army University and has established connections with the upper echelons. Now he is also working for the Cabinet Intelligence Bureau."
Cabinet Intelligence Bureau.......
Lin Ze put out the cigarette butt. It was a Tojo castrated chicken!
The rise of the old devil Tojo was quite rapid. At the beginning, he was only the commander of the Kwantung Army's military police. Although he was a powerful position, he was still far away from the center of power.
However, Tojo was very good at observing the situation, and soon he found a shortcut to quickly rise, which was to become a radical among radicals.
More than four years ago, when Konoe Fumimaro was still in power, he proposed building a new order in East Asia.
At that time, powerful leaders such as Terauchi Hisaichi did not agree with this. They had rich combat experience in China and believed that the theory of quick victory was actually impossible to achieve.
But Tojo eunuch boasted that the Japanese were fully capable of going to war with China and the Russian Bear in the north, and even capable of going to war with England, the United States and France at the same time.
This statement drew criticism from the cautious faction, but it also made Tojo the banner of the radical faction.
In the Battle of Nomonhan, the Japanese suffered heavy losses. However, Tojo falsely reported his military achievements and exaggerated the results of the Army Air Force. Therefore, Tojo was not punished but praised instead.
Two years ago, when Konoe came to power again and formed a cabinet, Tojo was directly appointed as the Minister of War!
This appointment made many people curse. After all, when people like Terauchi and Okamura were generals, Tojo didn't even know who he was. How could he be made the Minister of War?
However, soon Tojo's performance once again surprised everyone.
He publicly published the "Battle Training", the main content of which was just four words: devote oneself to the public service.
What is the purpose of dedicating oneself to the public service? It is to enable "all the subjects of the Imperial State to better serve His Majesty the Emperor."
The flattery made the emperor feel very comfortable, and Tojo took the opportunity to propose the famous "Outline of Imperial National Policy to Adapt to Changing Situations" when attending the Imperial Conference.
The main decision of this outline is to change the northward strategy to the southward strategy and to declare war on the United States and England!
At this time, with the cooperation of Tojo, the radicals had gained an absolute upper hand, and even the navy's Yamamoto's strong opposition was useless.
When the guard saw this, he realized that he had promoted a monster, so he simply gave up and resigned.
Then the Emperor decided through a meeting of important ministers to let Tojo form a cabinet.
It only took this grandson a few years to go from a military police commander to the Japanese Prime Minister. His promotion speed is even faster than Lin Ze!
If it is said that Miura Hide was serving the Cabinet Intelligence Bureau, then he was actually serving Tojo, who sent people to Tianjin to cause trouble, and Hata Shungo of Jinling also sent people to cooperate. What they were looking at was definitely not Lin Ze's money, or Tianjin's factories and ports.
They were heading for Okamura.
The core of the military's power is now in a very delicate situation. After the Control Faction completely defeated the Imperial Way Faction, the Control Faction also split into several factions. Generally speaking, there are the radical faction led by Tojo and the cautious faction to which Okamura, Terauchi, and Sugiyama belong.
The radicals believe that China is no longer important and that more troops and resources should be invested in the Southeast Asian and Pacific battlefields.
But people like Okamura believed that completely defeating Britain and the United States in Southeast Asia was simply a fantasy. It would be better to manage North China and East China well and connect them with the areas outside the Great Wall. This would provide a steady supply of resources, which was the fundamental basis of Japan's war sustainability.
To achieve this, the Kwantung Army could no longer hold on to the areas outside the Great Wall. North China and the areas outside the Great Wall should be connected and managed in a unified manner.
The position of Okamura and others is actually a bit like the North China Centralism, which hurts the interests of Hata Shungo in Nanjing.
So when this train derailment incident happened, they must have wanted to use this opportunity to bring down Okamura!
A commander of the North China Front Army, a commander-in-chief of the China Expeditionary Army, and a prime minister.
This fighting lineup is so powerful!
Lin Ze waved his hand to let Niu Saner go out first. He picked up the phone and called the North China Front Army Headquarters.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the call was finally connected, and Okamura's voice sounded tired.
"Lin-san, it's so late, what's going on?"
"General, do you know this person named Miura Hide?"
"That special investigator, isn't that an important role..."
What Okamura meant was, what kind of little Karami is this? Do you think I should know about it?
"General, he works for Prime Minister Tojo."
"Bridge Bean Sacks!"
After two or three seconds, it was obvious that Okamura sat up and said, "Miura Hide is from Tojo. Are you sure? Kitahara reported to me that this Miura Hide is not too difficult to deal with!"
"Jinling also secretly sent people to Tianjin to meet with Doi Yucheng. I now suspect they have ulterior motives. They just want to muddy the waters and find out something else. But I'm curious why they had to come to Tianjin."
Okamura suddenly screamed: "Dabu Bank, it's Dabu Bank!"
