The Third Army was the first to know about the Communists when it discovered information about the Communists in the British Concession.

Therefore, it is very necessary to investigate the Third Army.

The Third Army was established on October 1, 1939 in Majiagou, Tangshan, and its members were mainly officers from the first batch of graduates of the Tongxian Military Academy, while soldiers were young adults recruited from various counties.

The Fifth and Sixth Regiments and the Artillery Corps under the jurisdiction of the Third Army were claimed to have 15,000 men, but in fact there were less than 3,000.

The investigation of the Third Army was first proposed by Lu Chengzhou, and when someone was sent to investigate, Kawasaki Hiroshi naturally included him in the list of the investigation team.

"Although you have not been married for a long time, I have to let you go to Qian'an County this time." Kawasaki Hiroshi called Lu Chengzhou to the office and explained to him.

"Is it appropriate for me to go on this matter?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise.

Qian'an County is currently the garrison of the Third Group Army, and if he goes to the Third Group Army, he will naturally be able to find out the situation of the Third Army clearly.

Although Lu Chengzhou was secretly happy in his heart, he couldn't show it at this time.

"Of course, you are from Haigu, so it is most appropriate to investigate. I think let's leave today. Hiroshi Kawasaki said.

For the internal investigation of the North China Appeasement Army, the Chinese are the most suitable.

The Japanese may have been more impartial and professional in their investigations, but they had one of the biggest problems, they couldn't communicate with the Chinese soldiers.

At least, most of the Chinese soldiers spoke Chinese with a thick accent, which they didn't understand.

Lu Chengzhou is a Haigu native and can communicate with most Chinese.

This is Lu Chengzhou's advantage, and it is also an important reason why he was sent to investigate.

Of course, in addition to Lu Chengzhou, Akio Ishida, an advisor to the intelligence room, will also go with him.

For Kawasaki Hiroshi, if no Japanese participated in the investigation team this time, he would also have doubts about the results of the investigation.

"Hey." Lu Chengzhou responded.

After returning to the office, Lu Chengzhou immediately reported the matter to Akio Ishida, and at the same time, he called Yongbao.

Although Ma Yuzhen was not in the newspaper, there was no way, so Lu Chengzhou had to ask his colleagues in the newspaper to tell him.

After Ma Yuzhen recovered her identity and married Lu Chengzhou, she was immediately recognized by everyone in Yongbao.

Even, the colleagues of the newspaper have a much kinder attitude towards her than before.

Although Ma Yuzhen's identity has not changed, her husband Lu Chengzhou is the director of the intelligence office of the military police detachment in the British Concession.

This position may not seem like a lot, but the power in his hands is terrifying.

At least, for ordinary people like them, being able to work in the gendarmerie is already remarkable.

And Lu Chengzhou is not just an errand, he is also the director of the first intelligence room.

"Lu Jun, why don't you go to the newspaper office?" Ishida Akio saw that Lu Chengzhou told the people of the newspaper office that he was going on a business trip, and felt that Lu Chengzhou could meet Ma Yuzhen.

"No, the task is important, let's go first." Lu Chengzhou shook his head, Kawasaki Hiroshi was very nervous about the emergence of the Communist Party in the Third Army, how could he be a child.

Lu Chengzhou personally drove until about ten o'clock in the evening before arriving at the garrison of the Third Army: Qian'an County.

Liu Shengzu, commander of the Third Group Army, had already held a banquet at the best restaurant in Qian'an County.

Liu Shengzu was in his forties, graduated from the 16th class of the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, and in October 1939, he was appointed commander of the Third Army Major General.

Liu Shengzu's body is a little fat, and the wide military uniform is difficult to fit his fat body.

In addition to Liu Shengzu, there were also the county magistrate of Qian'an County and the captain of the Qian'an County Military Police, Bei Murayi, as well as Li Ruqin, the commander of the Fourth Regiment of the Third Group Army, and Fang Pingqing, the head of the Fifth Regiment.

Lu Chengzhou's car, when he just entered the county seat, someone reported to Liu Shengzu.

At the same time, Liu Shengzu's guards rode horses to lead the way in front.

After arriving at the restaurant, Liu Shengzu and others were already greeted outside.

Although Lu Chengzhou was only the director of the intelligence office of the military police detachment of the Haigu British Concession, he was here to shoulder the orders of the headquarters of the Haigu military police.

Regardless of his rank, Lu Chengzhou this time is equivalent to a commissioner at the headquarters of the gendarmerie.

Moreover, Lu Chengzhou's investigation this time is also very powerful.

Not only must the Qian'an County Gendarmerie fully cooperate with him, but he can also arrest and interrogate officers below the Third Group Regiment at any time.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Shengzu deliberately set up a banquet in person, and has been waiting until now.

"Presumably this is Director Lu, right? It's been a hard work. Liu Shengzu had already inquired, this time it was Lu Chengzhou who drove in person, and after Lu Chengzhou got out of the car, he walked over to Lu Chengzhou with a smile, and stretched out his fat right hand from afar.

"Commander Liu, it's not too hard to come here by car." Lu Chengzhou stretched out his hand, shook hands with Liu Shengzu, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"This is Ishida-kun?" Liu Shengzu turned to look at Ishida Akio, although the other party was not wearing a military uniform, Liu Shengzu, who had lived in Japan, still recognized it at a glance. Therefore, he deliberately spoke Japanese.

After all, among the few people brought by Lu Chengzhou, Ishida Akio appeared very unique, short in stature, with small eyes, but there was a condescending contempt in his eyes.

"Commander Liu, hello." When Ishida Akio heard Liu Shengzu's pure Japanese, his gaze quickly softened.

No matter how many soldiers Liu Shengzu had, and no matter how effective the Third Army was, at least he was a major general commander and a graduate of the Japanese non-commissioned officer school.

After arriving at the private room of the restaurant, Liu Shengzu introduced Kitamuraichi, Li Ruqin and Fang Pingqing to Lu Chengzhou and Ishida Akio.

Kitamuraichi and Lu Chengzhou both belong to the gendarmerie system, and Ishida Akio is also there, so he is more polite to them.

But Li Ruqin and Fang Pingqing were different, they already knew Lu Chengzhou's intentions.

For the officers who led the troops, it was not very comfortable for Lu Chengzhou's behavior.

Their emotions are also reflected in their faces.

When Liu Shengzu introduced Lu Chengzhou to them, although the two smiled, the smile was really reluctant.

"Commander Li, Commander Fang, Director Lu came to the Third Army to investigate this time to help us find out the communist saboteurs in the army, and you must go all out to support Director Lu's work." Liu Shengzu is old and sophisticated, so he naturally understands the thoughts of his subordinates.

"Head Li, Head Fang, please take care of me." Lu Chengzhou stood up, raised his wine glass, and said with a smile.

Li Ruqin and Fang Pingqing, in desperation, had no choice but to raise their glasses, sat there, nodded at Lu Chengzhou, and took a sip of wine.

Lu Chengzhou was not angry, but he drank the wine in the cup.

If Lu Chengzhou really came to investigate the Communist Party, he would naturally be very frustrated.

After all, Li Ruqin's Fang Pingqing was the military commander, and Liu Shengzu controlled the Third Army through them.

But Lu Chengzhou's trip was not for the investigation of the Communist Party.
