Chapter 372: Assassination Intelligence

The decisive battle between Tohoku and Japan came so quickly and beyond the expectations of all sides. Among them, the Japanese and Korean Governor-General's Office can be described as mixed. After Terauchi Masatakeshi was promoted to the prime minister of Japan, he is currently serving as the governor of North Korea, and there is no change, and there is no suitable person for the governor of North Korea. However, after the start of the battle, in order to simplify the command structure as much as possible, the Japanese military headquarters strengthened the authority of the Korean military command. The North Korean Governor's Office, which originally had decision-making power, was used as a logistics support brigade. This made the importance of the governor of North Korea a lot. But the governor of North Korea is, after all, a feudal official. Terauchi Masatakeshi became the head of the Japanese family by virtue of this identity. Naturally, the Japanese government is very cautious about this. In addition, the strategic location of the DPRK is extremely important. The border with China and Tsarist Russia was the best rocker for the realization of the ambitions of Little Japan, and they were naturally cautious in their choice of Korean governor.

Tokyo, Japan.

"Yo Si! Matsukawa-kun is doing this very well! As long as the resistance of the Chinese army is eliminated, the best way to obtain the land in the northeast and attack the local government in the northeast is to attack the local government. Japanese Prime Minister Masatakeshi Terauchi was leisurely drinking wine. From time to time, his eyes stared at the delicate waist of the Japanese dancer in front of him. Although the age of the temple is not young. Coupled with the fact that he was a playboy when he was young, his ability in that area has long been out of order. But age can't stop Prime Minister Terauchi Masatsuki from falling in love with young women.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army should not be underestimated! The strange annihilation of the Sixth Brigade may not be simple. We should pay enough attention! Shoyo Terauchi's cabinet Foreign Minister Ichiro Motono said.

"Motono-kun, we have to believe in the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army. I consulted Marshal Youpeng in Shanxian County. His Excellency the Marshal is full of confidence in this war. As a government, our first task at present is to ensure the logistics and materials needed for the army's conquest. The finances of the Empire of Japan are not very rich! If it continues to be consumed in China for a long time, it will be greatly detrimental to the development of the empire! "I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't care about it. Before becoming prime minister, Terauchi Masayi was very dissatisfied with the stinginess of the Okuma Shigenobu government. But when he came to power, he was extremely grateful and respectful to Okuma Shigenobu in his heart. In the Russo-Japanese War, Japan almost spent its last penny of yen. Domestic finances are already on the verge of collapse. Successive governments after the Russo-Japanese War struggled to maintain Japan's fragile economy. The fiscal deficit is extremely severe, and every year Japan is extremely strained to repay its foreign debts. Coupled with the maintenance of North Korea's armaments, the pressure on the government is even heavier. However, after Shigenobu Okuma came to power, Japan's economy recovered, and with the help of the east wind of the world war, the Japanese Empire continued to repay all the huge foreign debts owed, and the fiscal surplus also had for the first time. The treasury is also full. This is also the reason why the Japanese military had the courage to start this war.

"Hai, Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Great Japanese Empire is invincible, and I am just making a suggestion." Ichiro Honno said.

"Yo Si! The great strength of the Great Japanese Empire is definitely not comparable to that of a backward country like China! The fall of the 6th Brigade must have been the result of a trick by the China! Masaki Terauchi said with a good feeling. This is why his government has completely ignored the diplomatic protests of the Chinese government in Beijing. After all, dragons don't pay attention to ants.

"That's right. Your Excellency Foreign Minister, how is the engagement with the Nanking government in China? The terms offered by the Empire of Japan were very generous. We are now helping them to eliminate the rebellious government in Beijing. It is very cost-effective to take out the three eastern provinces as a cost-effective province. Masaki Terauchi said. In addition to logistical guarantees, the Terauchi government is also trying its best to find a high-sounding reason for this military dispatch, and it is no problem to accept the invitation of the Chinese government to send troops to deal with the rebellion.

"The attitude of the Nanjing government in China is ambiguous, and there is no clear indication so far. However, I think that when we conquer the three eastern provinces, the government of China will choose to cooperate with us. Ichiro Motono said confidently.

"Excellent! The people of China are all soft bones, and if they don't beat them hard, they won't know how powerful the Great Japanese Empire is. Prepare for negotiations, and put pressure on the Shina government as soon as the Japanese Empire achieves a decisive victory on the battlefield. Hey. Even if we can't completely swallow the three eastern provinces of China at once, we must completely incorporate them into the sphere of influence of the Great Japanese Empire. After Feng Yong unified the three eastern provinces, he implemented many policies that weakened Japan's influence. At present, the influence of the Japanese on the three eastern provinces can be said to be minimized. It can be said that the advantage that Japan had established in Tohoku during the Russo-Japanese War was almost completely lost. This is also the reason why the Japanese military is in a hurry to start a war.

One of Tokyo's busiest entertainment districts. In a secluded room on the top floor, three people sat together looking at a telegram. Outside the room, the security was extremely tight, almost to the point of five steps and one post. The men were dressed in black suits, and each of them had a hideous look on their faces. The waist is bulging, and it seems that they are all carrying guys.

"Boss. How's it going? In the room, the two men said to the person sitting in the center.

"The young marshal told us to lurk in peace, we just need to gather information as usual. We don't need to act yet. The young man at the head said in a deep voice. They speak Chinese, which would be a big surprise if one heard. You know, not everyone is here. This is the main hall of the newly rising yakuza Yamaguchi-gumi underground in Tokyo. Since the fall of the Black Dragon Society, the Yamaguchi-gumi have developed rapidly with the help of the chaotic situation under Tokyo, and are now one of the largest underworld forces in Tokyo. Now the Yamaguchi-gumi are in contact with the Japanese government, hoping to cooperate with the government and become their dark spokesperson to help the Japanese government deal with some problems that have not been brought forward.

"Boss! You said that the young marshal let us get in touch with the Japanese, aren't you afraid that we will leak out? Japanese people are not vegetarians. A young man on the left said.

"As intelligence officers, we don't have a choice. But it's not a bad day in Tokyo. Little Japan is indeed better developed than us. We're lurking here more effectively than fighting on the front lines. The young man at the head said with a smile.

"Boss. Do you think our Northeast can win? The more I learned, the more I realized the horror of Japan's national power. Our Northeast can't compare with the Japanese army! The young man sitting on the right hand said.

"Judging by the telegram of the young marshal, the situation should not be large. Little Japan is strong, and our Northeast Security Army is not a vegetarian. I have just received information that our troops have completely annihilated the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Army. This is a great victory. Now in the northeast, our army is about to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army. I believe it won't be long before the results will be available. The young man said.

"Sixth Brigade? I have heard of the Japanese army, which is an old unit of the Japanese army, and during the Russo-Japanese War, it achieved great results. Lao Maozi was defeated by him. I didn't expect it to be cleaned up by our Northeast Army! What a joy! The right-handed youth said excitedly.

"But we haven't gotten any news in Tokyo!" The left-handed youth said with a frown. He was a little skeptical about the authenticity of the matter.

"Hehe, of course the little devil wouldn't promote such a thing. What a shame! Since the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese Army has always been synonymous with strong combat effectiveness, and even the German ** team, which is known as the world's first, has been killed by them. In this case, the news that the elite brigade was completely annihilated by our Northeast Army will definitely cause panic throughout Japan. The relationship between Japan and China is too close. Historically, the strength of China has inevitably led to the weakening of little Japan. Now, little Japan has finally taken advantage of the decay of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to become a world power. They definitely don't want a more powerful country around them. After all, everyone understands the truth that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. The young man said.

"Yes!" The two nodded.

"We need to do our job now. Katsuko, step up contact with the Japanese government, we can't get into the inside story of the Japanese military yet. This did not help the Northeast in the slightest. If the government can't do it, we can start with the Marshal's Mansion. The rice field group secretly controlled by Youpeng in Shan County was killed by us. We can take the opportunity to fill this gap. As long as the operation is good, I believe that the old fox Youpeng in Shan County will be satisfied with us. The young man said.

"Don't worry, boss. I'll step up my practice. The young man said.

Knock knock!

A gentle knock on the door made the faces of the three people in the room change. Their meeting was extremely secret, and only a limited number of core people could know about it. Others are untouchable. When someone comes at this time, there can only be something big happening.

The young man who called Katsuko stood up, walked cautiously to the door, opened a crack in the door, and then breathed a sigh of relief on his face. Pull open the door and invite an ordinary-looking young man in.

"Lao Li, what's wrong?" The young man asked.

"Our people just got the news from the mouth of an officer of the Japanese General Staff, although we can't be sure whether the matter is true or not, but I think whether it is true or not, we should pay close attention to it." Lao Li said in a deep voice.

"What information?" The young man at the head said with a frown.

"Japan's special high school has received the order to assassinate the young marshal, and it will be at any cost!" Lao Li said in a deep voice.

"What? Damn little devil, he's ready to play black! The young man at the head was taken aback and said.

"Whether this is true or not, we should inform the headquarters. So that the headquarters can be on guard. The assassination technique of the little devil in the special high class is very sharp. At this critical moment, the young marshal must not be allowed to have an accident. The young man at the head said firmly.

"Yes, I'll contact the headquarters right away." Katsuko said in a deep voice. Then the group left the room one after another.
