Chapter 116 The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind (2)

It was not long before the correspondent came back and said, "Captain Nakata, Chief Oshima invites you in. Come with me."

Wang Zhong immediately followed the correspondent into the village and came to a house. Although it was at night, it could be seen that the house was very simple, with a small eaves and a lot of lights from the door panel walls. When he entered the house, he saw a man sitting behind the wooden table in the middle. He was about 50 years old and thin. Although he was wearing a coarse cloth clothes, he could not hide his gloomy and coldness.

Wang Zhong immediately stood upright and saluted: "The Fifth Division of the Army Intelligence Department, Captain Nakata Kogoro, report to Chief Oshima."

Chief Oshima also stood up, bowed and said, "Captain Nakada, I am Yoshihiro Oshima. No need to be polite, sit down."

Nakada Kogoro sat down in front of Oshimakawada, Oshimakawa Yoshida: "Yesterday Lieutenant Kawaguchi came back from the camp and reported to us what happened in the camp. The Red Lotus Sect. You did a good job, and the vigilance in the camp has been greatly reduced."

Nakada Kogoro said: "Report to the chief, the vigilance in the camp is reduced, not because of the Red Lotus Cult, but because the army has been dispatched to fight against the Red Lotus Cult."

Oshimakawa Yoshi laughed and said, "Okay, I didn't expect the People's Army to act so quickly. It seems that we are in the sight of victory. But why did you run out of the camp at this time? Your actions are very dangerous and may be discovered by the camp. Be vigilant! Therefore, I believe you will give me a reasonable explanation." At the end of the conversation, your tone became stern.

Nakada Kogoro's expression remained unchanged and said, "According to the news I received, the reinforcements from Shanghai will arrive soon. This time, the reinforcements have two regiments of troops, and it will not take more than three days to arrive at the camp, so please don't be too happy too early. This is also the reason why I rushed back from the camp after Lieutenant Kawaguchi came back one day. Is this explanation reasonable?"

After hearing this, Oshimakawa Yoshihiro's face became solemn, and he nodded and said, "Very good, this news is very important. Captain Nakata, your actions are very correct. Since that is the case, then we must act immediately. It is too late today, and we will take action tomorrow night."

Nakada Kogoro said: "I have notified the lurkers in the camp to prepare for action tomorrow night, but we must wait until the external attack begins."

Yoshimakuo Oshimakawa: "Very good, Captain Nakata, you did a great job."

Nakada Kogoro said: "If we do something tomorrow night, we will have less than 24 hours to prepare. I wonder if it is enough?"

Oshimakawa Yoshidao: "You must do it if you are enough or not, otherwise the camp will definitely strengthen its security when reinforcements arrive, and it will be too late to do it again. But don't worry, our preparations are actually almost done now."

Nakada Kogoro said: "It's okay to say anything else. The most important thing is whether there are enough staff. This time we have only 32 people. In addition to 12 people in the camp, I only have 20 people here."

Oshima Kawa Yoshihiro laughed and said, "Don't worry, this is the case. More than 120 people were sent to Beijing, all of which were selected by Major Kawashima himself and carried out some basic training. Although they are not as good as ours, they can still be used without being able to use it. Of course, our personnel will be increased by 2 or 30 people, which is even more stable. Unfortunately, our operation was only organized by the Intelligence Department, but it did not receive support from the military headquarters. The resources that can be used are limited, including human resources. Therefore, we have to rely on the power of the Qing court. Fortunately, Major Kawashima still has a lot of connections in the Qing court, so we can recruit more than 120 people for us."

Kogoro Nakada said: "It was a great opportunity to hit the East China ***, but unfortunately the people in the military headquarters were too timid and afraid of angering the East China ***. Relying on these people to revitalize Japan is simply a daydream."

Yoshima Oshimakawa: "Don't complain. Now we only have such conditions, but we must also make decent results and let the military see our abilities."

It turned out that East China's disaster relief in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River brought tremendous pressure to the Qing court. Although he knew that East China's disaster relief could take advantage of disaster relief to win people's hearts and expand his sphere of influence, the Qing court had no choice but to drive away East China's **, but except for Anhui Governor Enming, the other officials were perfunctory, and went out to rescue the disaster themselves and competed with East China's **, but they did not have the manpower and financial resources, so they could not do anything useful. As a result, after a few discussions, they simply left the matter.

But some people in the Qing court had a bad idea. Since they could not be driven away and they did not have the ability to rescue disasters, they would destroy the disaster relief operations in East China. After all, it was easier to destroy than build. Moreover, the Qing royal family organized a terrorist attack on Shanghai last time. Although it was not completely successful, it did cause some damage to Shanghai. If they could also do it once for the disaster-stricken private camps in East China, they could breathe a sigh of relief, so some of the Qing royal family began to take action.

However, although the Qing royal family members were rich and wanted to do something, they still couldn't do it. After all, sabotage was also a technical job, because they wanted to destroy East China. The last terrorist attack on Shanghai was to ask for help from the Japanese, so this time they could only find foreign aid, that is, the Japanese.

In the end, Prince Su Qishan, who had the closest relationship with the Japanese, came forward. In fact, after the terrorist attack in Shanghai, Prince Su Qishan was dismissed from the royal family because he was one of the main planners of the operation. However, that action won Qishan a high reputation among the Qing Dynasty's royal family. Everyone believed that he had the courage and achievements, and Yanran became the leader of the royal family. Therefore, Qishan's status in the Qing Dynasty not only did not decline, but was greatly improved. Naturally, he still had to stand up this time. Of course, Qishan also vigorously advocated destroying the disaster relief operation in East China. So Qishan asked his old friend Kawashima Langsu and asked him for help.

This request was Masaaka Kawashima Nakashima's thoughts, because Japan's defeat in the Far East War not only almost completely exhausted its national strength, but also paid a large amount of compensation to the East China **. The Japanese were naturally worried about this, especially the opportunity for the East China ** to participate in the war was when the fleets of Japan and Russia took action when they were exhausted in the Battle of Ma, and almost wiped out the fleets of the two countries in one fell swoop. This made the Japanese feel dissatisfied, believing that the East China ** was a shameless sneak attack, and they won't be able to win. Therefore, in Japan, there has always been "the Far East War was the East China ** stole Japan's victory." In order to divert domestic conflicts, Japan also deliberately strengthened and promoted this statement. Therefore, all the people and the people were dissatisfied with the victory of the East China ** and always wanted to find an opportunity to breathe.

However, Japan's national strength is exhausted and its military has been severely damaged. It is impossible to start a war with the East China **, so it can only do some small actions, such as terrorist attacks on the East China **. This disaster relief operation in East China ** gave the Japanese an opportunity. The location of the disaster relief was not the jurisdiction of the East China **, which was just suitable for Japanese spies located in China. So someone suggested to the Japan ** to destroy the disaster relief activities in East China **.

However, after the end of the Far East War, Hiromori Ito re-appointed as prime minister. He is a rare Japanese person with a strategic vision. He knows that this kind of terrorist attack and sabotage activities have actually been very limited in the blow to the East China ***, which basically cannot cause any major losses, and cannot shake the ruling foundation of the East China ***. Because it is a disaster relief activity that destroys the East China *** is morally unreasonable. On the contrary, it will anger the East China ** and attract revenge from the East China **. Now that Japan is seriously injured, it takes time to recuperate. It is indeed not advisable to have a bad relationship with the East China ** at this time. Therefore, Hiromori Ito also strictly ordered the Army Department to do not act rashly at this time.

Of course, in private, Ito Hirofumi met with Yama Prefecture Akitomi Yama Prefecture, the head of the army, and told Yama Prefecture Akitomi that she must restrain the army. At this time, she must not easily get offended to the East China ***. Yama Prefecture Akitomi was also a person who knew the general, so she agreed to Ito Hirofumi. And she also ordered the Intelligence Department of the Army Department to never take extreme actions against the East China ***.

Although Youpeng in Shanxian was a leader of the army, this order still caused dissatisfaction among a large number of middle and lower-level officers. Of course, Youpeng in Shanxian could still hold the ground at this time. Therefore, although there were complaints in the army department, he did not dare to act rashly.

But at this moment, Kawashima Natsu sent back a telegram, explaining Qishan's request and asking for domestic support. However, this request was naturally rejected by the Army Department. However, Major General Fukushima Anmasato, the head of the Intelligence Department of the Army Department, believed that this was a good opportunity to retaliate against the East China **, and at least it could make Japan breathe a sigh of relief. Although the Army did not allow it, Fukushima Anmasato decided to let the Intelligence Department work alone.

However, without the support of the Army Department, the intelligence department's resources were very limited, and they could only send a few people from China to support Kawashima Natsu. Although there were many Japanese spies in China, there were not many people who could use them. First, they were people who needed to be attacked in the sabotage operation, preferably soldiers. Although the spy also received some military training, Bi Jing was not a formal soldier. Second, most spies had their own tasks. Once a large number of personnel were mobilized, it would affect the efficiency of intelligence work. Therefore, in the end, more than 30 people could be drawn to Kawashima Natsu.
