Spy Shadow

Chapter 817 Ghost methods

Secretary Qi couldn't help but sigh that Chu Lingyun was indeed the smartest person in their military command.

Now we can see how important the connections Chu Lingyun has cultivated are. There are so many senior generals in the army who have a tacit relationship with him and owe him a huge favor.

Don't say he didn't make a mistake, even if he did, someone would still protect him.

There is even strong support abroad, and the old man may have to think twice if he wants to move him.

What's more, the old man didn't need to touch him.

Chu Lingyun was smart and never got involved in military power. Except for the pharmaceutical factory, he only did his own job. With such a close relationship with the eldest son, the old man had no reason to attack him.

Chu Lingyun had very few enemies. Those who had committed crimes and were caught by him all deserved their punishment. They were finished long ago and were nothing to worry about.

The only person who poses a threat to Chu Lingyun is the Kong family. As long as the old man doesn't have this intention, the Kong family won't even think about touching Chu Lingyun.

Otherwise, it will be the Kong family who will be unlucky.

Secretary Qi left the office, but Boss Dai was still angry, thinking about how to retaliate against Old Ghost Xu in the future.

Secretary Qi's thoughts were far away.

The old man is obviously suspicious of Boss Dai, which is an absolute taboo for the spy chief.

Secretary Qi needs to think about his future.

If Boss Dai falls, he must protect himself and find ways to gain more power.

Secretary Qi has his own connections. He is very smart and behaves very appropriately when he is with Boss Dai. He has not offended anyone.

The person with the most grievances was He Nian, who was in charge of operations and had killed many military generals in recent years.

Followed by Xu Yi.

Ordinary people don't dare to touch Xu Yi casually, mainly because Xu Yi has too many eyes, so he might have some leverage over them.

The rest of them didn't have much trouble.

Boss Dai is Boss Dai, and the military commander is the military commander. Secretary Qi knows this very well.

The old man needs a military commander, but what he doesn't need is a person who has strong control over the military commander.

It's a pity that Boss Dai failed to recognize himself. He always regarded the military command as his private property and was unwilling to delegate power, which laid hidden dangers.

Secretary Qi will not follow him all the way to death. He has his own relationships. He should clear them up early so that he will not be at a loss when things happen.

Time passed slowly, and it entered early March. Mutian, the devil, really collected a large number of livestock and prepared to attack India.

Many of his subordinates objected, but Mutian insisted on going his own way, and no one could dissuade him.

There were not enough cows and horses, so this guy even pulled up elephants and monkeys, and proudly said that this was their elephant tank.

Regardless of whether they are willing or not, after a military order, everyone packed up and prepared to cross the mountains and go to India to die.

The British army was equally shocked by Japan's bizarre fighting method.

At first they doubted the accuracy of the Chinese intelligence. No matter how stupid the Japanese were, they wouldn't be so stupid, right?

Without logistical supplies and insufficient supplies, you dare to cross the mountains and come to them?

I've never seen a fight like this.

The British commander was dubious, and while making preparations, he went to investigate in detail.

The feedback information also left them stunned.

The Japanese really came over this way.

Well, just wait. Since they are here, let them remember a little longer this time. I really think that the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets is paper. It is so disrespectful.

Shanghai, the weather is getting warmer.

At the dock, Fang Shiyi was receiving the goods.

The smuggling business of Shiyuan Trading Company has not stopped, and now it has to help Tian Junliu transport military supplies and food. Not only all the ships of Shiyuan Trading Company have been requisitioned, but also all the larger private ships in Shanghai have been requisitioned.

How to transport these things without ships?

Alchemist Yi was staring at a ship and personally arranged for people to transfer the contents on the ship to another freighter belonging to Ishihara Trading Company.

What's inside this ship is very important.

It is a complete set of rifle production equipment and equipment for reloading bullets.

Fang Shiyi is very aware of the importance of these things. Next, when he ships the goods, he will bring these things to Wuhan, and the comrades in Wuhan will transport them to his hometown as soon as possible.

"Boss, things are ready."

After witnessing the cargo being transferred to the smuggling ship, Fang Shiyi immediately came back to report it.

"Okay, be careful this time."

Chu Lingyun warned that this batch of goods will be transferred to Wuhan tomorrow. No one dares to check the ship of Shiyuan Trading Company. It is very safe. The key is the transportation of the comrades in Wuhan, and there can be no mistakes on the way.

"Don't worry, I will make it clear to them."

Fang Shiyi immediately replied that he knew what the goods were and even more clearly understood the importance of these things to his hometown.

There is a shortage of weapons and ammunition in my hometown, and I can produce some now, but they are all produced in small batches, and the most important ones are grenades and explosives.

Production of guns and bullets has been modest.

With these equipment, the shortage of production capacity in the hometown can be greatly alleviated.

"Go back and have a good rest. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."

Chu Lingyun nodded. He was relieved that Fang Shiyi was responsible for guaranteeing the goods. Fang Shiyi had always been responsible for guaranteeing the goods. Except for being inspected a long time ago in Nanjing, there had never been any problems so many times.

"yes."

Fang Shiyi left. This batch of goods was not given to his hometown, only 10%.

The Fruit Party is facing a lot of pressure. The war is coming, and more things need to be given to them. However, all the things given to their hometown are important. In addition to equipment, this time a batch of medicines are also shipped from the United States.

These things cannot be measured in money, they represent life.

In Yanzhou, Mr. Ke received a message from Chu Lingyun.

The things have been transferred and will be shipped to his hometown soon. In order to ensure safety, Chu Lingyun specially asked Shiyuan Trading Company to transport the goods this time.

At least nothing will happen in the Japanese-occupied areas.

After receiving the telegram, Mr. Ke immediately made arrangements.

The comrades in Wuhan will increase the number of people escorting this shipment. If necessary, the guerrillas along the way will support them.

In order to ensure the safety of the goods, a lot of gold bars are required to be brought as pledge this time.

If there is trouble on the road, we must immediately find a way to bribe the relevant people to allow the goods to pass smoothly.

After the arrangement was completed, Mr. Ke looked at the telegram again.

I just wanted to give it a try when I sent the telegram. The equipment here was too old and many of them were no longer useful, so I just had to use it.

He asked Chu Lingyun to see if there was anything he could do.

Unexpectedly, Chu Lingyun actually got them a complete set of equipment, giving Mr. Ke a big surprise.

Ke Gong has nothing to say to Chu Lingyun.

It seems that there are no problems in Chu Lingyun's hands, and any problem can be solved easily if left to him.

In mid-March, it started to rain lightly in Shanghai.

This lasted for several days. The air after the rain was very fresh. Chu Lingyun opened the window of the office and looked out the window.

Yesterday, Alchemist Yi sent a telegram saying that he had arrived in Wuhan and the handover was successful.

The words were unknown, and people who didn't know thought they were smuggled goods. Only Chu Lingyun understood that the most important goods had been taken over by the Red Party.

In Wuhan, Lao Chang was shocked when he received this batch of goods.

He never expected that Fang Shiyi had such great energy that he could obtain equipment for producing weapons. Even if it was old, it was not something that ordinary people could obtain.

This time, Lao Chang went out of his way to pledge the goods himself.

Make sure nothing goes wrong and deliver your things safely to your hometown.

After Fang Shiyi handed over the things, he did not contact Lao Chang. They were behind enemy lines, and the more contact they had, the more danger they would face.

The Japanese did not dare to do anything to him, but they dared to attack Lao Chang.

Once he is found out, let alone him, it will be a big trouble for Ishihara Hiroshi.

"Secretary Fang, let's go."

Okada came to the hotel and picked up Fang Shiyi for dinner.

There are many members of the literary community in Wuhan now, preparing for the upcoming war. Okada is already the division commander, and he and Shimakura are both in Wuhan.

Okada was in high spirits at this time.

If he can achieve success in this battle, he will have the opportunity to challenge the army commander in the future. If he reaches the army commander first, he may succeed Tian Junliu and become the commander-in-chief of the dispatched army.

A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. He is already a general and is now thinking about a higher position.

His biggest advantage is youth.

He is younger than Shimakura, who was suppressed for several years and wasted time.

"Okay, trouble."

Fang Shiyi got up and followed Okada out. Soon he arrived at the place. It was a Chinese restaurant that had been booked by Okada and his friends.

There were more than forty people inside, sitting at several tables.

The generals were at the table, and the assistant officers were at the table next to them. As for Fang Shiyi, he sat on the generals' table without hesitation. Okada, Shimakura and others even specially let him sit in the first place.

This time Fang Shiyi did not agree, just sit here and forget about being the first.

He didn't want to be so high-profile.

He knew and was familiar with many of the people in front of him. Needless to say, Shimakura, Mizuki Toshi, and Okada, he had met them many times. The rest were mostly people who joined the literary club earlier and were received by Ishihara Hiroshi.

When he met these people, most of them were not living a happy life.

Now there is a person who looks like a dog. He is not a division commander, but also a brigade commander, or at the worst he is a regiment commander.

Everyone has great power.

Fang Shiyi felt very emotional, Shi Yuanheng was indeed smart, dared to spend money, and was willing to spend money.

Fang Shiyi knew very well how much money Ishihara Trading Company had made over the years. It could be said that it was as rich as any other country. He also knew how much money Ishihara Trading Company had on its books.

Ishihara Hiroshi didn't use all the money he made on himself, but spent almost all of it on the literary club.

Without so much money to clear the way, they would have no chance of rising to a high position.

The positions of these people were all bought for them by Toru Ishihara.

The contribution system of the literary society is indeed good. Fang Shiyi discovered early on that Hiroshi Ishihara would help some people with poor abilities earn contribution points and send them to high positions as soon as possible.

It is much better to let people who lack or lack of ability occupy the position than those who are talented.

This is indeed a good point, but the Japanese have a strong lesson. Even if they have shortcomings in ability, they still have good abilities.

In any case, the literary society has now developed into a behemoth and plays a decisive role in the Japanese military.

Even the top leaders in Japan dare not ignore the power of literary societies.

Without the literary society, it would have been difficult for Ishihara Hiroshi to maintain his huge wealth, and he would have been wiped out long ago.

"Secretary Fang, please."

At the beginning of the banquet, everyone toasted to Fang Shiyi. Fang Shiyi carefully drank a few glasses, but he did not dare to drink more.

After drinking too much, these people started talking.

Everyone is very optimistic about this war and believes that the empire will win and achieve satisfactory results, and even completely defeat China and fully occupy China.

They encouraged each other to achieve success in this battle and to strive for a few more division commanders.

The more division leaders a literary society has, the stronger its power becomes.

In the past few years, the Literary Society has no longer recruited assistant officers. The recruitment of general officers has been continuous, but the number is smaller. So far, the number of members of the Literary Society has not exceeded 300.

It seems that Ishihara Toru has deliberately slowed down the pace of development.

Alchemist Yi's guess was correct. The little devil was about to surrender. What was the use of absorbing so many people.

Alchemist Yi didn't talk much and kept his ears open.

A lot of important information was revealed during their chat, which must be written down and reported back.

Even if it's useless to them, it's okay if it can help the fruit party.

We are all Chinese, and we are the anti-Japanese force. We can help as much as we can.

Time passed slowly. In late March, Guiyou Mutian, who only carried three weeks of rations and a large number of livestock, finally led his 150,000 troops across the Chindwin River on the border.

These days of crossing mountains and ridges really gave the soldiers enough.

They didn't know at this time that the nightmare was coming.

After coming here, Muta was very excited. His plan was very successful. When we got here, there was a plain area. The imperial soldiers he led were invincible and they would definitely beat up the British here.

Next, this rich area will belong to the empire.

No, it's the whole of India. He will definitely be able to help the empire occupy this magical country.

With this great achievement, he will have great hope to become the next prime minister in the future.

Muta's dream was indeed a good one.

Reality soon hit him hard.

After learning from the British, their combat effectiveness has improved a lot. They asked the Americans to help in this battle. At least the air superiority is very obvious.

Mutian's livestock army was extremely conspicuous in the plains.

The British and American air forces simply bombed livestock and not Japanese troops.

The animals have not received any training, let alone explosions, even if there is a little loud noise, they will be frightened and run around.

The results can be imagined.

Under the British and American bombings, the livestock brought by Mutian fled in all directions. He could not stop them even if he wanted to. The battlefield was full of cattle and sheep, and there were countless dead bodies on the ground.

In just a few days, most of the livestock army that Mutian was proud of had fled. However, the soldiers had eaten a lot of meat in the past few days, which satisfied their appetite.

No one knew at this point that this was the best food they had had in a while.

Muta scolded the British, generally reorganized the army, and prepared to leave these livestock alone. In his words, the mission of the livestock had been completed, and it had helped the empire consume a lot of enemy artillery shells.

They are the heroes of the empire.

He was obviously blown away, but he became a hero in Mutian's mouth. I have to say that this person is a weirdo.

In early April, Muta stepped up his attack on the British and captured Imphal. He would be able to sit on this fertile land and there would be no shortage of food or supplies, thereby consolidating his great achievements.

He had to get it as soon as possible.

It will be the rainy season here in India soon. Once it rains continuously, he will not have food to wait here slowly.

The rations have long since run away on their own.

The war will not proceed according to one person's ideas, at least the process of this battle is completely different from Muta's deduction results.

Mutian believed that he was a destined person. Unfortunately, his perception was wrong. He was not.

He was not able to quickly capture the British position. On the contrary, because he had no air superiority, he was bombarded by the British and American coalition forces.

Can't get in.

Retreat, but you can't go back.

The reason is simple. He has no food and wants to climb over the mountains and return to Myanmar. It is almost a wishful thinking.

Mutian was in a dilemma.

It must be said that Mutian was also a ruthless man. Even though he was about to run out of food, he rewarded the soldiers lavishly and gave the soldiers the best food to eat, encouraging them to work hard and defeat the enemy.

The result is of course failure.

"Commander, we can't fight anymore. If we fight them again, they don't have to fight back. They will starve to death."

Several of their division commanders came over to persuade them. As of now, they have lost soldiers and generals, and their food is gone. The next step is their biggest trouble.

No food, no medicine.

The climate here is tropical, and many soldiers cannot adapt to it. Sickness and diarrhea are common, because malaria has killed many people.

Mutian brought some medicine, but his prediction was insufficient, and he thought that he could defeat the British and seize the territory when he got here, and then drink spicy food. How could he bring so many things.

Simply put, Muta is an idealist.

"What if I don't fight?"

Mutian spread his arms. At this point, it would be difficult for them to leave without defeating them. Without food, they would have to walk back through the mountain road for more than ten days. It was just a dream.

There are some edible things in the forest, but unfortunately there are a lot of them.

Not to mention that there were so many of them, even if there were several times less, it would be impossible to hunt in the forest to obtain enough food.

The ecology in the forest is fixed. There are as many animals as there are plants, and as many beasts as there are animals.

Are there so many people eating grass?

"We'll fight again tomorrow. If it still doesn't work, we'll retreat."

Mutian still wanted to fight, but everyone had no choice but to go back and mobilize, hoping to win this time.

The result was not what they wanted.

They fought really fiercely and desperately, which highlighted the Japanese soldiers' unafraid of death, but they were compressed in this small area and could not really expand unless they could break through the enemy's position.

The British and American coalition forces are not Chinese, and their weapons are very advanced.

They had all kinds of machine guns and artillery. If they charged too much, they would die, but if they charged too little, it would be useless. After failing again, leaving a large number of corpses behind, and being sneak-attacked by planes, Mutian had to find a way to retreat.

He has no time now to think about how to bring the remaining people back in the future, which is the key.

If all these imperial warriors are left here, I'm afraid he will have to go to court-martial when he returns, and may even be suspected of being a spy.

It was impossible for ordinary spies to trick so many Japanese to death.

Mutian retreated, and at the same time, another domestic war was about to begin.

Gangcun mobilized five divisions and five brigades with a total of 150,000 troops to formally launch an attack on the Central Plains. As soon as the battle started in mid-April, it entered a fever pitch.

Gangcun was indeed capable, and he used heavy firepower from the beginning. Wending underestimated Gangcun and also overestimated the combat effectiveness of his soldiers.

They themselves have no idea what the party is like.

He thought that he would be able to stop the Japanese because he had more people than the enemy. He even thought that his own troops were soldiers from General Xue's side, thinking that they could also compete with the Japanese.

There are some soldiers with strong combat effectiveness in Wending, but there are more miscellaneous soldiers.

Morale on the battlefield is critical.

If the ace army is at the front, fighting the enemy to the death and refusing to retreat, even the miscellaneous army will be affected to some extent and will not collapse at the first touch.

But if the miscellaneous army is defeated first, it will be useless no matter how many elite soldiers and generals are behind them. They will be affected by these fleeing soldiers and retreat together if they have no choice.

Even if they don't retreat, their morale is gone.

Wending made a mistake.

Some of the troops attacked by the Japanese army ran away when they saw the fierce Japanese firepower.

The commander ignored his soldiers and just wanted to escape with his money. He wanted his men to fight to the death to protect them. It was just a dream.

The defeat happened again. Almost everyone did not expect that Wending would be defeated so miserably and cruelly.

Unable to organize effective resistance at all, almost all the Japanese troops fled upon hearing the news, even triggering a great rout. The old man was so angry that he smashed a lot of things and immediately ordered General Tang to take over from Wending and stabilize the situation in the Central Plains.

At this time, it is no longer something that can be saved by personal power.

Military discipline was lax, and many civilians were harmed when soldiers fled. In addition, the Japanese were coming with ferocious force, and at best they could only endure hardships.

Wending was dismissed from his post.

The result of this battle was also beyond his expectation. It can be said that he did not expect it at all. He returned to Chongqing in despair and fell ill.

I feel even more disappointed in myself and my opponents.

"Okay, great, well done Gangcun."

Tian Junliu, who transferred his headquarters to Wuhan, was very happy after receiving the news of Gangcun's victory. Once the Central Plains was stabilized, the next step was the stronghold of Changsha.

I tried three times but couldn't get rid of the hard nut.

Make sure to get it this time.

Tian Junliu gave the order that victory must be won at all costs.

If Changsha cannot be captured and the land route cannot be opened, the previous victories will not be of much significance. They will only gain more territory.

What they want now is not territory, but strategic space and channels that can transport more soldiers to Southeast Asia at any time.

Changsha must be won.

Time entered in May, and the war in the Central Plains was basically over. As a result, the party lost troops and generals, lost a lot of territory, and countless people fell under the iron heel of the Japanese and suffered pain and torture.

Such a result disappoints not only the people, but also the Americans.

Some people even said that President Chang was useless and had no leadership qualities, and suggested that senior officials in the United States should carefully consider replacing China's agents.

This result shocked the old man.

The key is that the United States was really interested at this time and sent people to contact the Red Party. The old man couldn't eat well or sleep well during this period. In order to prevent the Americans from getting too close to the Red Party, he stopped them. He came up with the plan of the special envoy to go to Yanzhou.

Military Commander, Secretary Qi frowned.

What does Boss Dai want to do?

He has become active again in the past few days, getting very close to the Americans, saying that they are jointly deciphering the Japanese army's intelligence. But at this time, it is never a good thing to be too close to the Americans.

Haven't you seen the old man cursing people every day?

Boss Dai is definitely a shrewd man, but he has too much desire for power. He believes that establishing a good relationship with the Americans at this time will be of great help to him in the future.

But he didn't think about it. This was something that violated the old man's taboo.

Secretary Qi didn't remind him, and he didn't dare.

After the establishment of the Military Intelligence Department, this was Boss Dai's speaking room, and he would not listen to any objections.

Even if Chu Lingyun came to persuade, he used the method of provoking the general instead of directly persuading.

Secretary Qi is indeed smart and bright-eyed. While Boss Dai is busy making friends with the Americans, he goes to smoothen the relationship between He Zu and others to prevent himself from playing along with Boss Dai.

"Commander Muta, all the food is gone. You can't find that much food in the mountains."

In the forests of eastern India, Mutian's division commander came to him to ask for food. The soldiers had been hungry for a day, and now they really didn't have any food.

It is completely impossible to satisfy the food and drink of one hundred thousand people by hunting.

Unless they dispersed all the people, there was no telling how many people would starve to death before they could reach the place.

"Where are the wild vegetables? Can't you find the wild vegetables?"

Mutian frowned. In his mind, there was so much food in the mountains that they could just eat it and eat it. The conditions were difficult now. When they returned to Myanmar, they would be able to eat as much as they wanted.

"Commander, we don't know the food here. We don't know which ones are edible and which ones are not. Eating randomly will kill people."

The division leader replied angrily, in fact, many people had been eaten to death, but most of them had symptoms such as diarrhea first, and then died at the end.

"If you can't, just eat grass."

Mutian said calmly, and the division commander who came to ask for food suddenly widened his eyes.

Did he hear it wrong or the commander misspoke.

Eat grass?

"Commander, I didn't hear you clearly."

The division leader had to ask one more question, and Mutian said plausibly: "What is the difference between the vegetables and grass we usually eat? Cows and horses can eat grass, and so can we. Don't worry about what you eat now, as long as you can go back without starving to death."

The division commander was completely stunned.

He was really eating grass. He heard it right, and the commander was right. How did such a person become the commander?

Let these soldiers eat grass, and say that cows and horses can eat it, so they can eat it. Are they the same as cows and horses? The physiological structure is completely different.

Your Majesty, Prime Minister, what kind of person do you appoint as commander?

I have seen people cheating on people, but I have never seen people cheating on people like this.

"Commander, don't be joking. How can a person eat grass?"

The division commander shouted angrily, and Mutian shook his shoulders: "Then tell me, what will they eat if they don't eat grass?"

The division commander was choked violently. He didn't want to talk now, he wanted to beat someone.

You can actually say such things as eating grass. Is this what a human being would say?

"I'll figure it out myself."

The division commander suppressed his anger, clenched his fists and left. He was worried that if he continued to talk to Mutian, he would really beat this guy.

It is indeed their fine tradition to control the top, but this is not the right time.

He was going back with his own soldiers, and he would no longer obey Muta's orders.

Placing your hopes on this unreliable guy is suicide.

Mutian didn't care about him. Anyway, he had no food. Of course he had food, but he still wanted to eat. How could he go back if it was gone?

He didn't want to eat grass by himself.

As he gets older, he can't eat those.

Mutian's words about asking the soldiers to satisfy their hunger sooner or later spread quickly, and almost all the officers and soldiers who heard it were dumbfounded.

Is this their highest officer?

Not even ghosts are as ruthless as him.

The name of the devil was finally put on Mutian's head. At this time, they still didn't know how many people had been killed by Mutian's dirty tricks this time.

Normally, we couldn't kill so many Japanese on the frontal battlefield, but Mutian was lucky. During one expedition, tens of thousands of them starved to death.

No wonder some people suspected that he was a traitor and deliberately harmed Japanese soldiers.

Countries such as Britain and the United States should give him a hero medal to commend his righteousness in killing relatives.

In Wuhan, Gangcun is sitting opposite Tian Junliu.

Tian Junliu really admired Gangcun. This battle was fought beautifully and achieved results that even he had not expected.

"Gangcun, you did a good job."

Regardless of his position, Okamura is a qualified officer, but it is a pity that he is from Saijo.

"Thank you, General."

Gangcun lowered his head slightly, and Tian Junliu continued to encourage and praise.

"General, what I did was trivial. You planned everything, so we won."

Gangcun's low profile surprised Tian Junliu. In his impression, Gangcun was a sharp-edged commander.

"The credit is yours. Don't worry, I will take credit for you."

Tian Junliu replied calmly that he was a soldier and would not suppress Okamura because of his relationship with Saijo. There was no need.

Saijo is now crossing the river with the Clay Bodhisattva, and it is still unknown whether he can save himself.

As far as he knew, Saijo resigned on purpose, but Ikuto did not agree.

Who is willing to take over this mess?

If you ask him to go back, he won't do it. If he doesn't do it well, his reputation will be gone.

"Thank you, General. Did you tell me about the help I asked you for last time?"

Gangcun lowered his head and responded. Tian Junliu suddenly turned around, his eyes becoming sharp.

Last time Gangcun asked him to say hello to Ishihara Hiroshi. At that time, he didn't understand what was going on, or he didn't guess what Gangcun was thinking.

This time Gangcun mentioned it again, Tian Junliu was a fool if he couldn't guess it yet.

Gangcun didn't want to end up with Saijo, he wanted to change his family.

The key point is that he is not an ordinary person. His status in the Sanwu Club is higher than that of Saijo. He is one of the founders of the Sanwu Club.

This is also the reason why Tian Junliu didn't expect it last time.

"Okamura, what do you want? In other words, you still want the literary society in Toru Ishihara's hands. Even if he gives it to you, can you take it away? You don't understand the system of the literary society. No one can replace Ishihara Toru. Location."

Tian Junliu said slowly, this is not a test, some words must be said first, after all, Gangcun's identity is different.

Now he is the honorary president of the literary society and has a better understanding of the literary society system. Let alone Okamura, even if Saijo comes over, he cannot replace Toru Ishihara.

Ishihara Toru's control over the literary society is too strong, and the literary society's system is destined to be controlled by only Ishihara Toru alone.

Without Ishihara Hiroshi, literary society is torn apart and no one can regain control, including him.

"General, I have no intention of replacing Toru Ishihara. I was deceived by Saijo."

Okamura gave a wry smile. If he wanted to succeed Tian Junroku, he must get the support of Ishihara Hiroshi, otherwise he would not be able to take over.

He had long been disappointed with Saijo, extremely disappointed.

Saijo said a lot. In the past, he thought what Saijo said was very reasonable and very passionate. He thought that the empire needed soldiers like him.

Now look at what he has done since taking office. Even a dog can do better than him.

He is the main culprit who has plunged the Empire into abyss.

Gangcun has great ambitions. Now the empire is in danger. If he wants to save the empire, he must be honest with Tian Junroku and Ishihara Hiroshi. He tells Tian Junroku what he really thinks.

Tian Junliu listened very carefully.

He didn't expect Okamura's consciousness to be so high. Thinking about it carefully, Okamura really didn't have much evaluation of Saijo in less than three years after Saijo took office.

In particular, Okamura never publicly expressed his position on the several conflicts involving Toru Ishihara of Saijo River.

There is no statement, in fact it is an attitude.

Given his relationship with Saijo, not openly supporting him would be tantamount to opposition.

"Okamura, I'm very happy that you are so sober. I have conveyed what I said last time to you, but if you want to get Ishihara Hiroshi's support, you need to see him in person."

Tian Shunliu said softly, and Okamura showed a little worry: "General, do you know my relationship with Saijo, will Ishihara Hiroshi agree to see me?"

"You underestimate Ishihara Hiroshi."

Tian Junliu smiled and shook his head: "Ishihara Hiroshi is an extremely smart person, and he is also worried about the empire. I have talked with him before, and his views coincide with yours. You two can definitely talk about it. "

Tian Shunroku did ask Ishihara Hiroshi about the future of the empire.

At that time, Toru Ishihara was very pessimistic and had little hope for the future of the empire. Saijo was too stupid, and the navy made so many mistakes, which directly affected the empire.

These are completely consistent with Gangcun's thoughts.

"Okay, I'll go to Shanghai in a few days."

"You don't have to go to Shanghai. Ishihara Hiroshi is coming to Wuhan soon. You can see him here." Tian Junliu said with a smile.

"When the time comes, I will ask the general to recommend you. I will personally apologize to Ishihara Hiroshi for what I did before."

Chu Lingyun is indeed coming to Wuhan. He has not left Shanghai for a long time due to the assassination.

Now that Tsuchihara is being beaten by Ikuto, he is busy instigating rebellion against the generals of the Fruit Army, and Saijo is unable to protect himself. Especially when the news of the failure of the attack on India comes, those who are dissatisfied with Saijo can no longer tolerate it.

During this period, Saijo suffered several assassinations.

One of them turned out to be Shigeto's instigation. After the incident was found out, Saijo was stunned, and Ikuto was even more shocked.

Shigeto actually assassinated Saijo?

Ikuto called Shigeto over and asked him carefully. Shigeto took the initiative to explain that Saijo was not worthy of being the prime minister. If he continued to let him be the prime minister, the empire would be killed by him sooner or later.

Shigeru persuaded Yu Ren to end the war in China immediately and negotiate peace with Britain and the United States.

Give up China's interests, give up Nanyang, and keep their homeland. Otherwise, if they are defeated, it will be unknown whether they can keep their homeland.

His suggestions made Yu Ren tremble with rage.

If it were anyone else who dared to say or do this, he would definitely be executed. Zhongren was Yu Ren's biological brother and the prince, and Yu Ren had nothing to do with him, so he eventually put him under house arrest.

Don't let him have contact with the outside world.

Zhongren was not afraid of being imprisoned. After being imprisoned, he immersed himself in writing a book. No matter whether it could be published or not, he always insisted on his own ideas and believed that he was right.

Wuhan, dock.

There were people standing outside, mostly generals, and the assistant officers had no right to approach.

Outside, there were Japanese soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition. They completely blocked the place and not even a fly could fly in.

Everyone from the literary club in Wuhan is here. The big boss is here. Who dares not to come?

Tian Junliu didn't come to pick up Ishihara Hiroshi in person, he was too busy recently.

Gangcun didn't come either. He needed Tian Junliu to introduce him. Coming here by himself was counterproductive. He was not in a hurry, knowing that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

The leaders were Shimakura, Okada, Yamashita, Miyamoto and other division commanders.

Wenshe now has five division commanders in Wuhan, and they are all here. Five divisions are equivalent to one legion, and the battle launched by Gangcun only used five divisions.

With so many big names appearing together, many people at the dock were talking quietly.

They couldn't get close and could only guess who came to Wuhan and made such a big movement.

When the ship docked, Chu Lingyun stepped off the passenger ship first, with Fang Shiyi following him.

"Ishihara-kun."

The people from Shimakura hurried forward and surrounded Chu Lingyun as they left.

The mighty motorcade left and was blocked all the way. Many people on both sides of the road looked at the motorcade carefully. They must be very important people among the Japanese, otherwise there would not be such a big movement.

The truck transporting soldiers didn't even finish walking for half an hour.

Shiyuan Trading Company owns many properties in Wuhan, including houses.

However, Chu Lingyun was staying in a hotel, and he did not go to his own house. The battle in the Central Plains was so poorly fought that the old man was extremely dissatisfied and ordered the military commander to provide all detailed information on the upcoming battle in a timely manner.

Chu Lingyun came here this time to collect information in person.

The literary club's monitoring could only hear part of it. If you want to know Tian Junliu's specific battle plan, he must come over in person.

"Ishihara, I'm sorry, I have something to do today and couldn't pick you up at the dock."

In the evening, Tian Junliu came back after a long journey. He went to inspect the warehouse. The front line had already started and was preparing to attack Changsha again. As the commander-in-chief, he had to ensure that there would be no problems with all the supplies in the rear.

Today we went to see the granary.

According to frontline responses, regardless of whether the food was mixed with sand or moldy, most of the soldiers who ate it had diarrhea.

These grains are provided by Shiyuan Trading Company.

Tian Junliu ordered the people in the warehouse to try their best to sort out the bad food and not send it to the front line.

The quality of the grains produced by Ishihara Trading Company was uneven. Ishihara Heng had told him this a long time ago. He understood that people who sell grains are like this. Black-hearted businessmen, how can they make money without being evil-hearted?

He needed too much food this time, and Ishihara Trading Company gave him all the remaining food except for keeping rations to keep the people alive.

People have clearly said that some of the food is bad, some is moldy, and some is mixed with sand. He wanted the food himself, so Ishihara Toru cannot be blamed.

"Don't say that. This is war time, and everything is focused on war."

Chu Lingyun smiled, but his eyes looked at the person following Tian Junliu. He knew this person. He had seen the photo, but it was the first time he had seen him in person.

Gangcun.

"Hello, Mr. Ishihara, I am Okamura."

Okamura took the initiative to say hello. Ishihara Toru has a title, so calling him "sir" is okay. However, Okamura is not an ordinary person. He publicly called Ishihara Toru this way, and many people looked strange in their eyes.

"Hello, General Gangcun."

Chu Lingyun responded politely. The last time Tian Junliu sent a message, he had guessed Gangcun's little thoughts. Don't think that Japanese soldiers are so courageous that anyone can steer the ship according to the wind.

Regardless of the reason, in the final analysis, Okamura betrayed Saijo for his own benefit.

I wonder what Saijo's expression will be when he hears what happened today.
