Chapter 99 Beiyang Non-commissioned Officer Three Heroes
Although the Japs mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources, in the end all efforts were in vain. They could not find even a single clue. Kawaguchi Usuma seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Santaro Okamatsu was very sad when his beloved disciple disappeared. In recent days, he had a particularly bad temper and would scold his subordinates violently for the smallest things.
"Baga! Did a pig eat your brain?"
"You can't handle such a small thing!"
In the office, Santaro Okamatsu was ashen-colored and scolded a slender woman.
The woman lowered her head and quietly endured the abuse from her boss, like a poor little quail.
Click.
At this moment, the door of the office suddenly opened. Santaro Okamatsu glared angrily, and was about to scold his unruly subordinates. Unexpectedly, the person who came was his old friend and immediate boss Nakamura Noriko.
"Nakamura-kun, why are you here?"
Okamatsu Santaro was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and seemed a little excited, so he walked up to him in two steps at a time.
"Is there any news?
Looking at his old friend who was out of control, a flash of shame flashed in Nakamura Koreko's eyes, he hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said.
"I'm sorry, Okamatsu-kun, to disappoint you."
After hearing this, Santaro Okamatsu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his emotions, because if something big had not happened, Nakamura would not have come to him specially.
"Mizuno, you go down first."
After sending his subordinates away, Okamatsu Santaro took the initiative to invite Nakamura to the nearby reception area. After the two sat down, Okamatsu asked.
"Nakamura-kun, I wonder if there is anything important for your visit this time?"
In fact, the main reason why Mr. Nakamura came this time was to visit Okamatsu Santaro, but of course it was difficult for him to say this, so he just found an excuse casually.
"Gang Songjun, the Geological Survey conducted a large-scale survey of the deposits of Fushun Coal Mine some time ago. The Central Laboratory also participated in this study, and finally concluded that the crude oil reserves of Fushun Coal Mine can reach 300 million tons!"
As we all know, Sakura Country is a country extremely short of oil resources. The discovery of a crude oil mine with reserves of 300 million tons is definitely exciting news.
"Very good!"
Even though Santaro Okamatsu was in a bad mood at the moment, he was still in high spirits after hearing such good news.
wrong!
After a few seconds, Santaro Okamatsu immediately realized the true purpose of Mr. Nakamura's trip. The other party did not come here specifically to announce the good news, but came to comfort him.
Thinking of this, Santaro Okamatsu couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and the dark clouds that had been floating in his heart for the past few days also dissipated a lot.
"Thanks!"
Mr. Nakamura sighed and said: "Okamatsu-kun, there is no need to be polite between us. By the way, I have one more thing to discuss with you when I come here this time. This incident has taught us a good lesson."
"In order to prevent similar things from happening again, senior officials of the headquarters must wear guards when traveling in the future. They must not give the enemy another chance!"
Santaro Okamatsu pondered for a moment. Indeed, they had indeed neglected security work in the past because similar incidents had never happened before.
Although Kawaguchi's disappearance this time is heartbreaking, from the perspective of a bystander, it is not without benefits. If he was the one who disappeared this time, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Yes, this incident has indeed sounded the alarm for us. These people dare to do something in front of our eyes. Is there anything else they dare not do?"
"Nakamura-kun, I personally support this decision unconditionally!"

Fengtian, Zhufu.
When Li Jie received the intelligence from the operation team, he couldn't help but take a breath. Although the report stated that "the intelligence has not been confirmed," combined with the information from other channels, he was basically sure that the Japs had not been investigated for the time being.
to him.
Originally, he had already made plans to start an attack early, and for this purpose he sent someone to secretly contact the Liaodong branch of the Northern League.
Fortunately, things have not yet reached the worst point. Judging from the current situation, he can still hang around for a while, waiting for the gunshot from Wuchang next year.
After pondering for a moment, Li Jie called his secretary and told him to go to Beida Camp to invite Lan Tianwei over.
About an hour later, a dashing man hurriedly arrived at the Zhu Mansion. This man was none other than Lan Tianwei, one of the "Three Heroes of Beiyang Non-commissioned Officers".
In her early years, Lan Tianwei was recommended by Zhang Zhidong to study abroad at the Sakura National Army Non-Commissioned Officer Academy. During her study abroad, she met Wu Luzhen and Zhang Shaozeng. The three of them had outstanding academic performance and shared the same goals, and were known as the "Three Heroes of Beiyang Non-commissioned Officers".
At the same time, he was also deeply influenced by the thoughts of democratic revolution. After returning to China, he devoted himself to the revolutionary cause. Not only did he found the Changsha Rizhi Association, he was also one of the founders of the northern Liaodong branch of the Tongmenghui.
Today, his position is to coordinate with the Second Mixed Brigade of the New Army and is stationed at Fengtian North Camp.
As soon as he walked into the study, Lan Tianwei asked urgently.
"Captain, did something unexpected happen?"
Only insiders would call Li Jie 'leader'. When Lan Tianwei called him this, it was obvious that he had now been taken under Li Jie's command.
This is normal, because the ideas proposed by Li Jie are more advanced and more in line with the national conditions. As a progressive young man, Lan Tianwei is inevitably attracted to this new trend of thought.
"Not yet, but you can keep the alliance line for now, just in case."
Hearing this answer, Lan Tianwei was both happy and a little disappointed. What he was happy about was that the worst case did not happen and they still had time to hibernate and accumulate more strength.
What also disappointed him was that the worst case scenario did not happen. In this way, the decadent Manchu Qing Dynasty could still survive for a while, and the people of the three eastern provinces also had to endure for a while.
Seeing Lan Tianwei looking worried about gains and losses, Li Jie smiled slightly and joked.
"What? You look a little disappointed?"
Lan Tianwei was silent, first shook his head, and then nodded.
"A little bit."
How could Li Jie not know what the other person was thinking, so he stood up, walked to his side, patted his shoulder, and spoke seriously.
"That day won't be long."
Hearing this sentence, Lan Tianwei looked quite moved. Just when he was about to ask what this sentence meant, Li Jie changed the subject.
"How is your friend doing now? Has his attitude changed?"
The 'friend' Li Jie refers to is Zhang Shaozeng. Next year, China will undergo drastic changes. In order to better face the changes, Li Jie naturally wants to unite all the forces that can be united.
