Chapter 1009: Murder II
Shibayama Kaneshiro met with Li Shiqun one after another, and communicated three times on the phone, whether explicitly or implicitly, but he just pretended to be confused and refused to resign, and the two sides also fell into a stalemate.
However, out of consideration for his own interests, Wang Jingwei resolutely refused to agree to the Jinling government's document to remove Li Shiqun from his post, fearing that poor coordination would cause turmoil in the Soviet Province and also affect the hearts of the Jinling government.
Although he is the top military adviser of the Jinling government, Wang Jingwei's rank is too high, he is a banner of the Japanese government in China, and if he wants to clean up people's homes, it must be decided by the cabinet and the military department, and he is not qualified as a small lieutenant general!
The depressed Shibayama Kaneshiro came to Shanghai, he already had an office in the Mei Agency, and this time he called Kitazawa Ping over to ask about Li Shiqun's movements.
"According to our investigation during this time, Li Shiqun has opened four new training classes, and also recruited more than 400 recruits, who are currently being trained by Chen Gongshu and preparing to be assigned to the special service brigade, and I also found out that he and several divisions of the regular army of the Jinling government in Jiangsu and Zhejiang seem to have secret deals, and the goods should be arms. Kitazawa said.
"What kind of regular army, it's just a rabble, it's okay to scare the people, if you really go to the battlefield, you will definitely hear the sound of gunfire and run away, scum, take out guns and ammunition to trade, what combat effectiveness can such an army have?" Shibayama Kaneshiro said with a sneer.
The Jinling government's peaceful founding army, which is what the Shancheng government calls the puppet army, is all a patchwork of stragglers or a renegade army of the Shancheng government, and the generals eat empty salaries, resell materials, smuggle contraband, and even secretly sell guns and ammunition, which is not news, and the Japanese are not easy to care.
The task of the puppet army is to assist the Japanese army in the war, to deal with the armed forces of the Shancheng government and the underground party, and to ensure the rule and combat effectiveness of the Jinling government, and that's it, like a scarecrow in the crop field, specially used to scare birds.
The puppet army generals in this environment are bent on money, which is even more excessive than what Li Shiqun does, and it is common to sell guns and ammunition, anyway, during the war, some wealthy businessmen are willing to pay a high price to buy them.
While the two were talking, the phone in the office rang, and Kanshiro Shibayama picked it up and listened to it, it was Shizo from the special high school Gangmura Shizo.
"Your Excellency General, according to the clues provided by Chen Jun, I sent the imperial agents of the Special High School to verify that Li Shiqun sold more than 3,000 tons of new rice to the two base areas of the underground party in southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu in July, which is an extremely bad behavior of the enemy." Okamura Shizo called and said.
"What do you say? Li Shiqun sold grain to the underground party's base areas in southern and northern Jiangsu? Already confirmed? This bastard, how dare he do this, it's really enough, I know about it, I'll report it to the base camp, the news you're waiting for! Kanshiro Shibayama said with a roar.
Gangcun Shaozuo was already very disgusted with Li Shiqun, and Xiong Jiandong was stirring up trouble next to him, and the Japanese agents of the special high school investigated that it was indeed a matter of buying grain in the underground party base, and the amount was about the same as what Chen Mingxiang said, and there might be more, so he directly put the charge on Li Shiqun's head.
"This Li Shiqun is crazy, right? Even if he smuggled grain to the Shancheng government, there was another saying, smuggling grain to the underground party, I feel that he has a problem with his head, which is not the logic of normal people. Kitazawa said.
"The news was provided by Chen Jun, and then the special high school sent someone to investigate, from this point of view, Chen Jun is still very loyal to the empire, you don't put your energy on him in the future." Kanshiro Shibayama said.
"Your Excellency General, this may be Chen Mingxiang's cunning, he saw that Li Shiqun was in a dangerous situation and couldn't hold on, so he deliberately put a message to the special high school class, and also proved to himself, I don't believe in the grain smuggling in Su Province, Chen Mingxiang has nothing to do with it!" Kitazawa disagrees.
"The one who can judge the situation and avoid the evil is the smart person, Chen Mingxiang is not Li Shiqun's sworn friend, why does he have to tie himself to Li Shiqun, a broken boat that is about to sink? In terms of professional ability, you are definitely better than him, but when it comes to comprehensive ability, you are far worse than his, at least he can't do things like being slapped in the face in public! Shibayama Kanshiro said coldly.
You're the one who slapped me in the face!
Kitazawa Ping is full of sadness and grievances, but this matter is really to blame him, it is estimated that in this life, in the minds of the old superiors, there is an impression that things are not reliable, Chen Mingxiang is a bastard!
"Your Excellency General, what are you going to do with Li Shiqun's affairs?" Kitazawa changed the subject.
"I'll report to the base camp now, since Li Shiqun has lived enough, I don't mind doing good deeds, I will give him a ride, for the sake of his contribution to the empire, I will leave him a whole corpse!" Shibayama Kaneshiro said through gritted teeth.
"Your Excellency General, then leave this matter to me, right?" Kitazawa asked.
"It's not to underestimate you, you don't have such a skill, you are good at assassination, but if you want to deal with Li Shiqun, you are almost hot, you two are not familiar with him, he is an old qualified agent, and he is very vigilant, you will not have a chance."
"Besides, for the sake of influence, I can't let him die too ugly, that's a slap in the face of the empire, he can only 'die a normal death', do you know what I mean?" Kanshiro Shibayama said.
There is another sentence that he didn't say, the intelligence team of the Mei organ killed Li Shiqun, which completely offended Wang Jingwei, and the communication in the future in terms of work will be even more difficult, so this matter must be operated by the gendarmerie, he is not afraid, but for the sake of the functions of the Mei organ itself.
Two days after the phone call, Kaneshiro Shibayama came to the headquarters of the gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai again, and this time the meeting not only had Kinoshita Eichi, but also specially called Shizo Gangmura.
"I have made up my mind to eradicate the scourge of Li Shiqun and avoid even greater losses in the future, and I have made a special report to the base camp on his affairs, and the chief of staff has officially approved this request according to my report."
"Considering the image of the empire, considering the relationship between the Mei organ and the Jinling government, I want Gangcun Jun to carry out this task, adopt the way he dealt with Wu Sibao back then, and secretly get rid of him."
"For this reason, the special department of the base camp will send the amoeba virus in a few days, which is a deadly virus cultured from the feces of rats with cholera-caused diseases.
"Gangcun-kun and Li Shiqun are more familiar, you have to formulate a reasonable plan and report it to me as soon as possible, and then I will ask the people from the secret service department to cooperate with you with things." Kanshiro Shibayama said.
