The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn and depressing.

Yingzuo Zhenzhao knew why these two uninvited guests came to Shanghai again this time.

Kojiro Kawamoto!

His death certainly made Yingzuo Zhenzhao feel sad.

But he definitely didn't expect that such a situation would arise.

The 11th Army actually intervened openly!

"Your Excellency, General, Your Excellency, Colonel."

Hiroshi Nagashima was the first to break the dullness: "Kawamoto-kun's death makes us equally sad. This is Shanghai's loss and the empire's loss. We will definitely avenge Kawamoto-kun."

However, this is our internal matter after all. I believe that the main job of the 11th Army is to eliminate the Chinese troops on the front line and avenge Kawamoto-kun. Please leave it to us."

Although he said it politely, the meaning behind his words couldn't be clearer.

An agent died in Shanghai, why did your 11th Army send people to join in the fun?

Major General Yoshimo Daigo glanced at him: "What's your rank?"

"Major, Your Excellency!"

"As a low-level officer, are you allowed to say such things?"

Major General Yoshimo Daigo said coldly.

Nagadao's face turned red, but he didn't dare to argue.

After all, there is a strict relationship of superiority and inferiority.

"Your Excellency Ying Zuo." Major General Yoshimo Daigo didn't want to talk to this officer at all: "We are all engaged in intelligence work. We know the hard work of this line of work best. As for me, I don't want to embarrass you.

However, the intelligence work in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas was very ugly. The Danyang riot seriously affected the frontline operations, so that the troops who were supposed to reinforce the frontline had to devote themselves to counterinsurgency work.

There are also huge problems in the collection and transportation of military rations, which have to attract our attention. We are very sorry that the work in the area you are responsible for is so negative."

If this is still far-fetched as an excuse for them to go to Shanghai, then Colonel Ogawa Tsuhei's words really hit the point:

"In the ensuing riot in Ling'an Town, 21 imperial warriors died. Among the dead were Warrant Officer Katsumi Katsumi of the 11th Squadron of the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the 86th Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Japanese Empire, and Commander Yu Takahashi.

, Captain Aoki Tadashi...these warriors who died at the hands of the traitors, Mr. Kagezuo, they all belong to the 11th Army!"

Yingzuo Zhenzhao laughed bitterly in his heart.

Yes, this is the best excuse.

This allowed the 11th Army to directly intervene and interfere in the work of the Shanghai agency.

There is absolutely nothing I can do to stop it.

"This rebellion was very unexpected."

Kage Sasaki just wanted to defend himself, but was immediately interrupted by Colonel Ogawa Tsuhei: "No, this was not an accident, but carefully prepared. The traitors used banquets to lure the imperial officers into the trap, and then brutally killed them.

them.

This kind of rebellion is very organized, and there are even troops from the Nationalist Government to support it. The specific number is the 192nd Division, Mr. Ying Zuo, I think I am right?"

At this time, Koichi Hahara had no choice but to speak: "Your Majesty Colonel, although the 192nd Division belongs to the combat order of the National Government Army, they have been conducting guerrilla operations in the surrounding areas. We are convinced that the rioters in Ling'an Town are in

We accidentally got in touch with the 192nd Division, and the riot in Ling'an Town happened by chance. Of course, we also made mistakes in our work."

"Yeah?"

Colonel Ogawa Tsuhei glanced at him: "Commander Hahara, we met last time in Shanghai. Lord Doihara has always admired you very much and specially introduced you to Lord Kagesa.

You said that the riot happened by chance? But I have a little question: Why did Meng Shaoyuan appear there in the small town of Ling'an?"

Habara Koichi was speechless.

This is a fatal blow!

Colonel Ogawa Tsuhei said coldly: "Do you need me to introduce you to Meng Shaoyuan? Director of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Supervision Division of the Military Command Bureau, and District Chief of Shanghai District. He is known as the public enemy of Japan and the most powerful agent on the surface.

If it wasn't a sophisticated plan, why did he appear there? Did he go there for fun? Or did he personally direct the riots in Ling'an Town, Lieutenant Colonel Hahara?"

Hahara Koichi fell silent.

Ogawa Tsuhei seemed to not want to let him go at all: "What makes me regretful is that Shanghai should have been a key area for the empire to conquer China, but the work here was terrible.

You have been played by Meng Shaoyuan again and again, and even this time he set a trap in Ling'an Town, but you foolishly sent Kawamoto Kojiro there!"

madness!

He used this very harsh word.

"Ogawa-kun." Kage Sasaki couldn't help but speak up for his subordinates: "We did make some mistakes in our work, but this cannot deny the contribution of the Shanghai intelligence agency headed by Hahara Koichi to the empire!"

"Your Excellency, Agency Chief." Koichi Hahara said immediately, "It's my problem, and I am willing to take all responsibility for it."

"We are all responsible, but this incident is very serious." Major General Yoshimo Dawu said: "The Danyang riots and Ling'an Town riots occurred one after another, making the situation worse.

Once an uncontrollable situation occurs in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and other places centered on Shanghai, it will have an extremely serious impact on the empire's frontline war.

We have internal problems. Therefore, with the consent of the General Staff Headquarters, we decided to set up a joint investigation team to thoroughly investigate the incident and divide responsibilities. After being appointed by the General Staff Headquarters, I will serve as the leader of this investigation team. Mr. Akira Kagezao is

Deputy head."

Yingzuo Zhenzhao's face twisted.

It's too much. What happened in Shanghai needs to be investigated in Shanghai, and someone from the 11th Army is actually sent to serve as the leader of this so-called investigation team.

This is an extreme distrust of work in Shanghai!

But he had no choice, and the other party brought up the background of the General Staff Headquarters.

At this moment, Yingzuo Zhenzhao also felt deeply worried about his future.

I didn't know anything about such an important matter beforehand.

No one informed myself.

Including Matsui Iwane.

After the death of Matsui Yuya, I expressed my condolences to my friend Matsui Iwane.

At that time, Matsui Ishigena comforted him.

However, cracks had already quietly occurred at that time.

"Okay, Your Majesty General." Kage Sasaki calmed down and said, "Shanghai will fully assist you in your work, and I will appoint Lieutenant Colonel Koichi Hahara as my plenipotentiary representative."

Hahara Koichi said: "Excuse me, where will the joint investigation team start the investigation first?"

"China people!" Ogawa Jihei said without hesitation: "All China people are absolutely untrustworthy. No. 76, we will start from the inside of No. 76 and find out where the root of the problem lies.
