Kojiro Kawamoto feels that the most important thing he should do now is to work hard.

Try to avoid talking to Meng Shaoyuan again.

He can see through your heart, all the way to your bones.

Humans, try to avoid talking too much to the devil.

Yes, the devil.

In the eyes of Kojiro Kawamoto, Meng Shaoyuan is a devil.

A god knows the devil who came out of there.

But what he didn't know was that although Meng Shaoyuan destroyed Kojiro Kawamoto, he still attached great importance to this Japanese.

Psychology is my own specialty, and my own research is the knowledge of psychology and micro-expressions that have been studied and summarized by countless people for hundreds of years.

Kojiro Kawamoto certainly can't be his opponent.

However, for others, it is still a very, very formidable opponent.

You have to be vigilant, and you have to keep your men on the lookout for this Japanese.

At the same time, he is also sure of one thing:

The fake scene and the corpse are absolutely impossible to hide from Kojiro Kawamoto.

There are just too many flaws.

Kojiro Kawamoto, who was concentrating on his work, carefully examined the bodies of Yuo Oyama and Yozo Saito.

"It's a dummy bomb." Kojiro Kawamoto stood up from the side of the corpse: "During the Shanghai Incident in 1932, the Japanese Empire also protested to the League of Nations for this, and later the empire seized a large number of Chinese stocks of dummy ammunition in the Siming Office and Songbaili Street. ”

"How can it be?" Meng Shaoyuan's face was blank: "Ji Zong Tuan, the weapon that should have been destroyed a long time ago, why is it still here?" You are simply not strict in governing the army, saying, where did these dummy bombs come from? ”

"It's me who is wrong, it is me who is wrong." Ji Zhangjian actually has a bit of a genius in acting: "Those of my subordinates, one by one...... Ay...... If nothing else, let's just say that those company commanders and platoon commanders secretly sold weapons and bullets to bandits one by one. This dummy bomb may have been stolen by them and was ready to be sold, but who would have thought that the Japanese soldiers would brazenly attack our sentry position, and these lawless guys must have been in a hurry and gave the dummy bomb to the Japanese soldiers. ”

Meng Shaoyuan almost laughed.

How can someone become the head of the regiment?

The responsibility is all shifted to those subordinates, and they are full of words like "Japanese soldiers" and "brazen impact" when they open and close their mouths, and they look really wronged.

Kawamoto Kojiro didn't continue to ask: "I found that there are traces of secondary injuries on the bodies of Yuo Oyama and Yozo Saito, and the soldiers of your country are very patriotic when China and Japan started a war in Beiping." ”

"How can it be!" Meng Shaoyuan found that the words "how can this be reasonable" had already been said smoothly: "What about military discipline? Ji General Regiment, what about military discipline? Preferential treatment of prisoners, this is an international convention. I believe that if our soldiers fall into the hands of the Japanese army, the Japanese soldiers will abide by international conventions and give preferential treatment to prisoners, especially special treatment. ”

"How can it be?" Ji Zhangjian also seemed to be infected by Meng Shaoyuan: "Check, give me a check to the end, who dares to hurt the corpse?" Well? Find out, arrest it, and lock it up! ”

Act, keep acting.

Ignoring the sarcasm of the Chinese, Kojiro Kawamoto was taken to the body of Shi Jingzhe, the Chinese "gendarme," at his request.

Meng Shaoyuan knew too well that this corpse couldn't be hidden from people at all.

Sure enough, Kojiro Kawamoto only looked at it briefly for a while and said, "I don't know what to say, this person is a gendarme, right?" If you look at his hands and wrists, there are obvious signs of being tied. He was only loosened after he was killed, so the traces of this binding could not be erased.

And this bullet mark, this is not shot from the muzzle of the Japanese soldiers, there is only one possibility, Yuo Oyama and came out, they actually carried the weapons of the Chinese military, and then killed the Chinese gendarmes with the weapons of the Chinese? Do you think that's possible? ”

No.

"There's only one possibility." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "Japan's judo, swordsmanship, invincible in the world, by the way, there are mysterious ninjas." I think that Yuo Oyama and Yozo Saito must have been the kind of peerless ninja masters who, when they faced the Chinese soldiers, snatched the guns from the Chinese soldiers' hands in the blink of an eye, and then killed the Chinese soldiers. ”

Bummer!

This is the scoundrel of Tianzi No. 1!

The Japanese government has always been the only one who has played scoundrels against the Chinese government, but now, a supreme scoundrel has appeared:

Meng Shaoyuan!

Is there anything in this world that he doesn't dare to do, and something he doesn't dare to say?

As far as scoundrels are concerned, you are far from it.

The battle must be fought, and it is imminent.

The truth will be discovered, and soon.

The fake scene and the corpses are too crude.

So, your Young Master Meng and I are a scoundrel, how about it?

Moreover, after a while, you will make your Young Master Meng a little pawn.

Kojiro Kawamoto sighed: "Mr. Meng, I didn't expect you to answer me like this. Do you know the Shanghai Institute of Forensic Medicine? All the experts in charge of the examination are European and American experts, and I think they should be the most authoritative in the examination of corpses. If you do not object, I suggest that the body be sent there for examination. ”

He decided to report a situation to his superiors.

The Chinese strenuously denied that they had deliberately killed the Japanese soldiers, and put on a rogue face, so according to this situation, the Chinese were obviously not ready for war.

Especially this kind of scoundrel words came out of the mouth of a person of Meng Shaoyuan's level.

Therefore, the Japanese military still has time to deploy troops.

However, Meng Shaoyuan knew that the other party would definitely think so.

This is also what I can do for the government and the army.

Let's negotiate.

Let the Japanese continue to seize on this matter and continue to negotiate and blackmail.

By that time, the Chinese army had completed preparations for the attack.

"Then, we'll keep two of us guarding the body with you." Kojiro Kawamoto politely said, "As for the subsequent development of the situation, I hope that we can maintain open communication. ”

"Of course, of course." Meng Shaoyuan said very sincerely: "How I hope this matter can be resolved smoothly." ”

"We'll see you again in the future, Mr. Meng."

"Well, I think so. By the way, Mr. Kawamoto, I know an old Chinese medicine doctor who is particularly experienced in treating athlete's foot, and I need to introduce him to your mother? Mr. Kawamoto, hey, how did he go? It's rude. ”

"My Director Meng." Ji Zhangjian pulled Meng Shaoyuan aside: "Is it exposed?" ”

"Exposure? Even a three-year-old child can't hide that corpse. Meng Shaoyuan only smiled bitterly: "You don't need to send it to the forensic research institute, everyone knows that this is a forgery, and now it's just a matter of delaying a little time." ”

"Well, I'll report back to the top right away."

"Ji Zongtuan." Meng Shaoyuan stopped him: "Prepare for war." ”

Ready for war.

August 10, 1937, 4 p.m.

The Shanghai Municipal Government, the Shanghai Garrison Command, the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, and the Japanese Marine Corps Command negotiated the incident.

After an examination by the Shanghai Institute of Forensic Medicine, the causes of death of Yuo Oyama, Saito and Kura were very different from what the Chinese side said.

As a result, the Japanese side tended to take a hard line, claiming that the whole country was extremely shaken by the incident, and demanded that the security forces withdraw and dismantle the fortifications.

The attitude of China and Japan has been tough, no progress has been made in the talks, and public opinion has intensified the situation.

On 10 August, Japan sent reinforcements to Shanghai, and Japanese marines landed one after another on the evening of 12 August, and deployed defenses in Yangshupu, Zhabei, and Hongkou.

The Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy arrived in Shanghai on the 11th.

By the 12th, more than 30 Japanese ships and 15,000 marines had been mobilized in Songhu.

Originally, the Japanese army was still preparing to continue to increase its troops, but a telegram from the Japanese secret service said that the Chinese army was not ready for war and would not take the initiative to attack the Japanese Hongkou base.

Therefore, the Japanese side decided to continue to stall at the negotiating table in the hope that the Nationalist Government would give in.

This is a piece of information from Kojiro Kawamoto.

In addition to this information, the attitude of the Japanese government is actually very important.

At that time, Japan was implementing the "National Defense Policy Outline" formulated by Ishihara Wanji, deputy chief of staff of the General Staff Headquarters.

The proposed order of imaginary enemies is the United States and the Soviet Union.

The strategy toward China is to "do a good job of the basic work of consolidating Japan, Manchuria, and the northern branch and completing the preparations for a protracted war" and oppose the expansion of the war.

That is to say, to provoke a Chinese civil war in the northwest, and at the same time to build Manchukuo, consolidate North China, block the Russians from going south, and then penetrate into the South Seas to get Malayan rubber and Brunei's oil, and at the same time squeeze out the British, and strive to reach out to the "East India" to ensure oil supply.

After that, there will be a "final war" with the United States.

Japan's plan in the early 30s also included a plan to jointly capture Wuhan with the navy and army, but in Ishihara's plan, in view of the strength of the Chinese government, Japan had abandoned the plan to capture Wuhan in the event of war, because that would not allow Japan's national power.

Meng Shaoyuan felt that he was simply in Shanghai and Tokyo with Ishihara, blowing and singing there.

At 9 o'clock on the evening of the 11th, after the Chinese side learned that the Second Fleet had arrived in Shanghai, the Nanjing Command ordered the 87th, 88th, and 2nd Divisions to advance to Shanghai and arrive in the early morning of the 12th.

The Japanese consulate accused the transfer of troops in violation of the Songhu Armistice Agreement, and the British and American envoys mediated the matter, and the Chinese side ordered a suspension of the offensive.

On 12 July, China and Japan held a meeting of the Joint Committee of the Songhu Armistice Agreement in the conference hall of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the Shanghai Public Concession.

War is imminent!

Now, it is August 12, 1937, and it is only a short, short time before the outbreak of war.

At this time, Meng Shaoyuan and the various groups under his command were already ready to deal with the war in advance!
