Chapter 386: Members of the Imperial Family

Nakasa, who never said a word from beginning to end, spoke!

"Water, give me water to drink."

When a prisoner under interrogation asks the interrogator for water or cigarettes, it shows that their minds have loosened and they are about to speak.

There are few exceptions.

Meng Shaoyuan quickly brought water and carefully poured some into his mouth, which was very tightly bandaged, only revealing a small hole.

Like a sigh?

That's right, Nakasa let out a low sigh.

Then, he spoke again, his voice weak: "My name is Tokugawa Honda. ”

Tokugawa Honda?

The Tokugawa family?

That's a big fish!

However, Tokugawa Honda has just begun: "I have an older sister named Tokugawa Kikuko, to be precise, she is my cousin. ”

Kikuko Tokugawa? Who is it?

Meng Shaoyuan didn't know him.

"You may not know Kikuko, but you must know her husband." Tokugawa Honda said slowly: "Prince Nobuhito of Takamatsunomiya. ”

Prince Nobuhito Takamatsunomiya?

Ah, remembered, remembered.

The third son of Emperor Taisho of Japan, his elder brother, is the current Emperor Showa of Japan!

At the age of 8, he passed to Prince Yoshihito Arisugawanomiya, a naval admiral who became one of the richest people in the Japanese imperial family.

And he is also one of the main planners of a series of major decisions in Japan in the future!

I really caught a big fish!

This Tokugawa Honda is actually Prince Nobuhito of Takamatsunomiya...... Brother-in-law?

Cai Zhongzuo?

Ah, yes, Prince Nobuhito Takamatsunomiya's highest military rank is only the Great Admiralty of the Navy.

"Our grandfather is Duke Tokugawa Keiki!"

When he said this, Tokugawa Honda had a pride that could not be concealed.

Tokugawa rejoice?

That last shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate?

Meng Shaoyuan was very disdainful.

But on the face, you must not let the other party see: "Ah, disrespectful, it turns out that you are really a member of the royal family." ”

"Yes, royalty." Tokugawa Honda is still proud.

He belongs to the line of Tokugawa Keiki's sixth son, Tokugawa Qi, and has a pretty good relationship with his cousin Kikuko.

Originally, he was placed in the army to let him exercise, but he didn't expect the Sino-Japanese war, and his Praetorian Guard Division was directly transferred to the Shanghai battlefield.

Tokugawa Honda was young and vigorous, and he thought that he was able to rise to Nakasa in such a short period of time, completely relying on his own efforts and abilities.

Therefore, he categorically rejected Kikuko's idea of transferring him out of the division and still came to Shanghai.

Prince Takamatsunomiya Nobuhito specially asked the division commander to take care of his brother-in-law, but this unlucky guy encountered the sudden counterattack of the 21st Group Army of the Gui Army, which had just arrived on the battlefield in Shanghai, and not only became a prisoner, but also suffered such a serious injury.

This dealt a serious blow to his arrogant heart.

He was bent on dying and serving the emperor, but who would have thought that he would meet Meng Shaoyuan again.

Just by relying on his eyelids, he let him tell his identity step by step, and he was very proud.

"You already know who I am." Tokugawa Honda gasped: "Now, you can exchange me for the supplies you need." ”

Nonsense.

Do you continue to keep you here, eat ours and use ours?

You're not a particularly important person, at best you're a little Zhongzuo, and if it weren't for your special identity, you wouldn't have bothered to take care of you.

"Say, how nice would it be if you were the emperor's brother-in-law?" Meng Shaoyuan said in a daze.

"Why?"

"Because, maybe I can draw a few cannons with you."

"Yaga!"

Tokugawa Honda exerted his strength, and the wound burst out, which immediately made him feel painful.

"Don't gossip." Meng Shaoyuan stood up: "How many things do you say you can change?" ”

Well, the person in charge of the negotiation must take advantage of this opportunity.

His brother-in-law, Prince Nobuhito Takamatsunomiya, is the richest man in Japan......

……

Fell into a big fish!

Prince Takamatsunomiya Nobuhito's brother-in-law was captured.

This is something that no one expected.

Of course, this is completely top-secret intelligence.

Those who know the truth are only controlled to a very small range.

And the Japanese army was clearly completely enraged.

To a large extent, in order to rescue Tokugawa Honda, on the 23rd, the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on the whole front, and the fierce artillery fire and the strength of the offensive were unprecedented since the Battle of Songhu began.

The Japanese army released smoke as cover during the attack, and the Gui army mistakenly thought it was poison gas, and the army's morale was greatly disturbed, and the first-line position was immediately broken through.

Wang Zanbin, commander of the 174th Division, personally went to the front line to supervise the battle, and made every effort to organize the troops to resist the Japanese onslaught, but in the end, because the troops suffered heavy casualties in the counterattack, the follow-up was weak, and by the afternoon of the same day, the positions of Tanjiatou and Chenjiaxing had been lost, and the Gui army did its best to keep the position south of Zoumatang.

At this time, in the rear, with the identification of Tokugawa Honta, it quickly became busy.

The chairman of the committee sent a secret telegram from Nanjing, instructing that Tokugawa Honda must be protected, and that Dai Li should have full authority to handle the matter.

"What do you think?"

In the office, Dai Li summoned Zhou Weilong, the mayor of Shanghai, Cheng Yiming, the secretary, and Meng Shaoyuan, who knew the identity of Tokugawa Honta, for an urgent discussion.

"Immediately see the newspapers and proclaim my glorious victory." Cheng Yiming didn't have time to think: "This is the highest-level prisoner of the Japanese army that I have captured since the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai, and it is for the outstanding results of the battle, which will surely inspire the determination of our army and people to unite and resist to the end!" ”

"Yes." Although Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming have always been at odds, this time he still stood on the side of the secretary: "Before, it was difficult for us to capture a prisoner alive, but who would have thought that now we have caught a big fish." ”

Dai Li listened very carefully, and then his eyes fell on Meng Shaoyuan: "What do you think?" ”

"Although Tokugawa Honda has a noble status in Japan, he is only a lieutenant in the army." Meng Shaoyuan had already thought about it: "How should we publish it in the newspaper?" My valiant soldiers, captured the brother-in-law of the Japanese Emperor Showa and his younger brother? What is the difference between this and the Qing Dynasty? There were many imperial relatives in the Qing Dynasty, and no one else knew who it was when they died.

If I'm Japanese, do you publish in the newspaper? I can take the opportunity to make a big fuss, I will fight back like this, China and Japan go to war, even His Majesty the Emperor, I will send His Majesty's own brother Prince Takamatsunomiya Nobunhito's wife and brother to fight China and fight to the death. When the time comes, I really don't know if it will be the hearts of the Chinese people or the determination of the Japanese to die! ”

Dai Li nodded slightly: "Although the words are ugly, they are telling the truth." Meng Shaoyuan, if you were asked to deal with it, what would you do with Tokugawa Honda? ”

"It's cheap." Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "We lack weapons, aircraft and artillery, but these can be overcome, and what is most lacking at present is medicine." How many soldiers have unfortunately died because of the lack of medicines and the lack of timely treatment. If a Tokugawa Honda can be worth a ton of medicine, how many soldiers can be saved? ”

"Bold!" Dai Li scolded: "The soldier in front finally caught a big fish, but you want to release him?" You are so bold that you are innocent of death! ”

Meng Shaoyuan was not afraid at all: "Tokugawa Honda stays with us, it's useless." In the eyes of their division commander and brigade commander, this is a playboy who came to China to gild. On the contrary, as I said earlier, the Japanese will still make a big fuss about it, but it would be very different if we exchanged it for real benefits. ”

Zhou Weilong has been following Dai Li for a long time, and he knows his temper too well, although he reprimanded him, he didn't have a stern tone at all, and maybe he agreed with Meng Shaoyuan's proposal in his heart.

The relationship between himself and Meng Shaoyuan is not bad, so if you don't take this opportunity to say a few good words for him, when will you wait: "Meng Shaoyuan, I think you are dizzy." If this matter leaks out, how many heads can you Meng Shaoyuan have? However, Director Dai, this kid's proposal also has merit. ”

"Oh, really?" Dai Lian asked slowly.

Zhou Weilong knew in his heart: "If we can really exchange a large number of medicines and our urgently needed materials, it will be of great help to the Anti-Japanese War." ”

Dai Li let out another "oh": "Meng Shaoyuan, if this matter is handed over to you to deal with, what are you going to do?" ”

"I've already released the news through a special channel, Tokugawa Honda is not dead, he is alive and well." Meng Shaoyuan had already thought about it: "I believe that in the next two days, maybe today, the Japanese side will try its best to contact us and conduct negotiations." The advantage is entirely on our side.

Tokugawa was wounded many times, and the Japanese must have thought that our medical treatment might not be able to save his life. Once he has any more accidents, it will be difficult for Prince Nobuhito of Takamatsunomiya to explain. When negotiating, the most taboo is that one party is impetuous. We can talk slowly, but the Japanese absolutely want to resolve the matter as soon as possible. ”

"Meng Shaoyuan, I'm afraid you've already calculated it?" Dai Li sneered: "Privately release Japanese dignitaries, your courage is getting bigger and bigger, I think I will shoot you with my own hands sooner or later." ”

"Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan actually said: "Even if you want to shoot me, let me do this matter first." If I really want to leak it out, some people will accuse me of being a traitor and a traitor, and I will bear the charge alone. ”

Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming glanced at each other, if they dared to speak like this in front of Mr. Dai, I am afraid that he is the only one in the military command, right?

"Leak what? Who will leak? Dai Li's eyes widened: "Only a few people in the room know about this." Who is that Japanese soldier Nakasa? He died of his injuries after ineffective medical treatment. ”

"Yes, dead." Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "Until he died, we didn't figure out his name." ”

Dai Li snorted: "You came up with this bad idea, and you are responsible for doing it." Listen, if I'm not satisfied with what I've exchanged, I'm going to shoot you! ”

"Understood, Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan had been waiting there for a long time for Dai Li to give him this task.

The pit Japanese make themselves feel happy, so that they can forget all their worries.

The most important thing is that I still have a weight as big as Tokugawa Honto in my hand now!
