"Who did this?" Hirohito said angrily, "The killer of the military commander? Or is it a spy of the Central Union? Or is it the Chinese Communist Party's armed engineering team behind enemy lines? ”

Tada Jun whispered: "Your Majesty, the CCP's military engineering team behind enemy lines is in North China. ”

"That doesn't rule out suspicion either." Hirohito's face darkened, and he said, "Investigate, let the secret service investigate this case thoroughly, and no matter what, we must find out!" ”

At this time, Hirohito was just angry.

Angry because of the assassination of a member of the royal family.

"Hello!" Matsudaira Keimin left in one fell swoop.

At this time, the advisory meeting immediately digressed and began to discuss Hatohiko's assassination.

Xianyuan Gong Zairen first said: "This guy Hatohiko is just reckless, if he leaves to return to Japan on the day he is dismissed, how can there be such a thing?" ”

Shimomura Ding analyzed: "Although His Royal Highness Hatohiko was assassinated in Taicang, the minister thinks that it is unlikely that this case was committed by the military commander of China or the central commander!" ”

Hirohito asked, "How so?" ”

Shimomura said: "Because His Royal Highness Hatohiko didn't tell anyone about his itinerary at all, except for himself, even Your Majesty You don't know which route he took, no matter how powerful the agents of the military command or the central command are, can they still become roundworms in the stomach of His Royal Highness Hatohiko?" ”

"It seems to be." Hirohito said, "Shimomura-kun, who do you think did this?" ”

Shimomura said with some uncertainty: "Your Majesty, judging from the time, this matter seems to have been committed by the 367th Regiment. ”

"367 regiment?!" Hirohito's face immediately darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Hasn't the 367th Regiment been completely annihilated by the imperial army in the Battle of Nanjing?" How could he still have the ability to chase down Taicang to assassinate Uncle Hatohiko? ”

Shimomura said: "The 367th Regiment was only basically wiped out in Nanjing, and there must still be one or two fish that slipped through the net." ”

After a pause, Shimomura Ding said again: "And the assassination can even be done by only one person, for example, Zhong Yi sniped Liu Chuanjun from a distance in Jiashan!" ”

"Zhong Yi?" Hirohito's heart jumped.

For no reason, a sense of foreboding welled up in Hirohito's heart.

Damn, Zhong Yi can't be dead yet, right?

Thinking of this, Hirohito asked the Minister of Military Affairs attending the meeting uneasily: "Gentlemen, will Zhong Yi not die at all?" ”

"Nani? Zhong Yi is not dead? The ministers at the meeting immediately looked at each other, this idea was crazy.

……

In Taicang, on the road.

The armored car driven by Zhu Liangcheng was speeding in the direction of southern Anhui.

When Zhao Hanxing was bored, he suddenly found a radio station in the corner of the carriage.

At that moment, Zhao Hanxing said to Zhong Yi: "Tuanzao, there is a radio station here!" ”

"Radio? Take it out. Zhong Yi said hurriedly, "Let's see if it's good or bad." ”

Although Zhao Hanxing couldn't send a telegram, he still could turn on and turn off the computer, so he took the radio out of his backpack at the moment, rested it on the seat in front of him, and turned on the main switch.

The next moment, the red and green indicator lights on the instrument start flashing.

"Okay!" Zhao Hanxing was overjoyed and said, "Tuanzuo, the radio is not broken!" ”

"It's not bad, it's great!" Zhong Yi was overjoyed, and said, "I'm worried about how to spread the news of the assassination of Hatohiko in the Asaka Palace, now it's okay, ha!" ”

While speaking, Zhong Yi sat down in front of the radio.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Yi began to use the clear code to electrify: the assassin of Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace, Zhong Yi, the head of the 367th Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army, December 20, 26 years of the Republic of China, 7 o'clock in the morning!

After sending it three times in clear code, turn off the radio.

……

In Tokyo, the Imperial Palace.

Just as Hirohito and the ministers were guessing who killed Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, Matsudaira Keitin, the minister of the Imperial Household Province, who had just gone out, suddenly hurried in again.

"Your Majesty!" Matsudaira Keimin bowed and reported, "A few minutes ago, the Shanghai secret service suddenly received a clear code call from a radio station of unknown origin, and the matter was very important, so it was urgently reported to the Imperial Household Ministry!" ”

Hirohito said: "A radio station of unknown origin, clearly electrified? What did you say? ”

Matsudaira Qingmin took a breath and said in a deep voice: "This radio station of unknown origin claims that it was the commander of the 367th Regiment of the Chinese Army, Zhong Yi, who assassinated His Highness Hatohiko near Taicang in the early hours of this morning!" ”

"Nani? It's really Zhong Yi! Hirohito lost his voice and said, "It turned out that Zhong Yi really did it?" ”

"Yaga, how is that possible?" The military and political officials attending the meeting also looked at each other!

Hasn't Zhong Yi already been killed? How could he come alive to assassinate His Highness Hatohiko again?

"Your Majesty, the news is not confirmed!" Matsudaira Keimin paused, "This may also be a prank by a radio amateur in China, but fortunately, the secret service has already verified it, and I believe that there will be a result soon." ”

"Yaga!" Hirohito was furious and said, "Are you an idiot for me? It has only been less than two hours since the assassination of Emperor Hatohiko, and radio amateurs in China can know the news? ”

"Hello!" Shimomura Dingshou said, "Your Majesty is wise, the person who sent this clear code power can only be the murderer who assassinated His Royal Highness Hatohiko, that is to say, Zhong Yi did not die, and it is an indisputable fact that he assassinated His Highness Hatohiko!" ”

"Damn it!" Hirohito said hatefully, "Those guys who sent the army in Shanghai dared to lie about the military situation!" ”

"It must be punished severely!" Sugiyama Moto said, "Your Majesty, the relevant personnel must be severely punished!" ”

Hirohito gritted his teeth and said, "Let Matsui Ishine give me an explanation immediately!" ”

……

Almost at the same time, in the town of Tangshan in Nanjing.

Since Nanjing had become almost an empty city, Matsui had no intention of moving his headquarters into the city.

At this meeting, a one-person-high rostrum has been erected in the courtyard of the Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters in Tangshan Town, and banners have also been posted on both sides of the rostrum.

Today, the Shanghai Dispatch Army will be here to commend individuals and collectives for their outstanding performance in the Battle of Nanjing.

For example, Hojoji, who won the hunting competition, will personally receive the medal from Matsui Ishone's hands, and there will be a prize of more than 50,000 yen!

Another example is the Maeda Squad, where the entire infantry squad of 32 people will be on stage to receive the cheers of the crowd and win a huge prize of 1 million yen!

Looking at the high platform in front of the colorful flags, the more than 30 devils of the Maeda team were so happy that their mouths were grinning to the root of their ears!

At this moment, the chief of staff of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, Mamoru Iinuma, slowly stepped onto the rostrum, first made a short but powerful speech, and then said: "Now there is Hojo Ji, Hojo-kun, who won the top of the hunting list, please shake the rope!" ”

Hojoji put the 38 big cover in his hand on his shoulder, climbed the rostrum proudly, and stood still.

Mamoru Iinuma looked at Hojoji with a smile and said in a harmonious voice, "Hojo-kun, let's talk to everyone." ”

"Hello!" Hojo shook his head, then stepped forward and stood behind the microphone.
