Chapter 6 Watching the Moon Tonight
Seishiro Itagaki, a senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army, with an anxious expression and a little restless, paced back and forth in a very simple office with a telegram in his hand.
Finally, Seishiro Itagaki stood at his desk, staring attention, and put the telegram in his hand on the table. The words of the General Staff Headquarters and Hashimoto suddenly appeared on the telegram. Seishiro Itsuki's eyes turned to the map of Manchuria on the wall.
This is the fifth telegram of Colonel Hashimoto! It seems that the military department must have noticed something. With a knock on the door, Seishiro Itagaki returned to his seat and put away the telegram and shouted calmly in!
Major Masaru Hanatani, dressed in a uniform, and Lieutenant Kawamoto Momori entered the office to salute. Seishiro Itagaki took a look at the wall clock on the wall and clicked with satisfaction, "Mr. Huagu is still punctual like this. It's good!" Please sit down!"
Haya is standing close to the heel of Kawamoto Mo and nodding to thank him!
After sitting firmly, Hua Gu was taking off his military cap and putting it on his right leg, and then said, "Time punctuality and obedience are the virtues of soldiers. I dare not forget at all times. This is Lieutenant Kawamoto Moshou, who is proficient in engineering blasting!"
Seishiro Itagaki asked impatiently, "How is the army preparing now?"
Kawamoto Moshou took a look at Huagu Zheng beside him and hesitated and said, "It's almost ready. More than a dozen sets of semi-old military uniforms of the Northeast Army have been collected, and all of them must be ready before the 24th!"
Seishiro Itagaki took a look at Huagu Zheng, stood up and said, "No! It must be launched immediately today. Are you sure?
Hagaya and Kawamoto Momori exclaimed at the same time, unconsciously standing up.
Seishiro Itagaki took out a telegram and gave it to Huagu Zheng. After reading it, Huagu Zheng was surprised and said, "Your Excellency, it's really reluctant. It's too hasty!"
Haya is looking at Seishiro Itagaki and frowns slightly. I'm afraid that at the end of yesterday's secret discussion, the decision made by the senior staff officer of Seishiro Itagaki and the chief of staff officer Ishihara Guan'er, right? Did they even hide it from themselves? Is this a typical way to deceive the top and the bottom?
Seishiro Itagaki's very helpless telegram: "Due to the leakage of intelligence, the plan originally scheduled for the 28th must be implemented tonight, before the First Minister of the General Staff, Jianchuan Michi, arrives at the Kwantung Army Command. Is there any difficulties in the army?"
Kawamoto Moshou hesitated and said, "There is no difficulty!"
Seishiro Itagaki pressed his hands on the table and said very seriously: "Mr. Kawamoto, in the process of blasting, it is necessary to form the damage scale of the appearance. At the same time, we should pay attention not to really harm the railway line, because the armored train to the Peking University camp still needs to pass, especially the time of blasting must not be advanced, according to the continuous Observation and intelligence confirmed that 21 o'clock every night is the work and rest time of the [***] team of Peking University.
The last guard of Kawamoto immediately stood up and kowtowed his legs: "Yes"
Seishiro Itagaki nodded with satisfaction and turned to Huagu Zheng next to him and said, "Mr. Huagu! The task of shooting the atrocities of the Northeast Border Defense Army and deliberately destroying the Nanman Railway to provoke war is entrusted to your secret service! Please go back and prepare as soon as possible!"
After Kawamoto Moshou left, Hanatani was worried, "His Excellency Jianchuan Meiji will arrive in Fengtian this afternoon. Will he come with the imperial edict?"
Seishiro Itagaki was slightly stunned and hesitated, "Maybe!"
Haya was immediately worried and said, "If His Excellency Meiji Jianchuan really carries the emperor's oracle, will His Excellency Commander Benzhuang still support us? If we lose the recognition and support of the commander, the hostage of our operation will turn into a rebellion! We will all be sent to the military court.
Seishiro Itagaki took a deep breath and said, "So we must intercept Jianchuan Meiji before he arrives at the Lushun headquarters. Jianchuan has a good personal relationship with Tufei Yuanjun, so he treats him well in the name of Fengtian's secret service. He will not doubt that Jianchuan likes old whisky and let Michiko accompany him. We took the initiative and didn't give him time to read the oracle. After the fait accompli, even if Jianchuan has the emperor's oracle, I believe he will not take it out rashly. At that time, both the commander of Benzhuang and Jianchuan Meiji will have to be in the same boat with us!"
Seishiro Itagaki patted Huagu Zheng on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Huagu, this difficult task is up to you!"
Hua Gu Zheng sighed helplessly, "This is really a particularly difficult task!"
Itagaki Seishiro saw that Huagu Zheng was very reluctant, and immediately looked unhappy. "Huh?" With a sound!
Haya saw that Seishiro Itagaki seemed to be a little unhappy, so he had to smile awkwardly and said, "I really don't like whisky. What I miss most is the taste of snow sake. Unfortunately, I can't drink it often!"
Seishiro Itagaki sighed slightly and said seriously, "The empire is short of resources, and it is really luxurious to make wine with good rice! How can those domestic politicians who only know the wind and snow understand our painstaking efforts, please!"
Hua Gu nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir!"
For Huaguzheng, he has no way out at all. It will be contemptuous to retreat at this moment. After Huaguzheng left, Seishiro Itagaki wanted to get through the phone of the 29th Infantry Regiment stationed in Fengtian!
Inadvertently, Seishiro Itagaki found that the phone receiver he was holding trembled slightly? It seemed that he held it too tightly, so he let go of his hand and stabilized his mood and said, "Hey! Is it Mr. Hirata?
Hirata wondered how Itagaki, an unruly guy, could call himself. He picked up the microphone and said, "Hey! I'm Mr. Itagaki! Why did you remember to call me today?
Seishiro Itagaki said in a much slower tone than usual, "The moonlight tonight is very beautiful. I want to invite Mr. Hirata to enjoy the moon together!"
Hirata said with a little doubt: "Do you enjoy the moon tonight? Mr. Itagaki, are you sure you are appreciating the moon tonight?
Seishiro Itagaki repeated in a solemn tone, "Yes, it's tonight!"
Hirata took a deep breath, and his voice trembled slightly, "I see. Thank you, Mr. Itagaki. I will bring a gift. Don't worry!"
After putting down the phone, Hirata asked the messenger to inform the two majors, Kobayashi and Oo, to come to him immediately.
After Xiao Lin and Dawei entered the room, Hirata immediately arranged: "The plan is in advance, and immediately distribute ammunition to the troops in the barracks. You two take a few people to the food booth at the corner of the street to eat and drink. Do you want to show the plain clothes of those [***] people, understand?"
"Yes!" Xiao Lin and Dawei saluted and left one after another!
At this moment, Ichiro Hirata's mood is in ups and downs. Itagaki Seishiro, Ishihara and Masashi Hanatani's plan to seize Manchuria by force is not one or two days. For this reason, the Kwantung Army has deliberately organized a second staff tour. In recent days, he has transported all the materials needed for the battle one after another. It's stationed, but you have to act early? Did you leak the news? Hirata has long been extremely dissatisfied with the fact that Huagu is in close contact with the Black Dragon Association and the Male Bee Association. In his opinion, those Ronin can be said to be useless except for talking big words and looking for art records. If the news is leaked, then there is no need to ask, it must be these idiots.
At the same time, at the simple Tieling Station, the soldiers of the fifth reading guard brigade of the army were nervously boarding the train, but the head transmission on the platform was extremely quiet.
In Shenyang City, Rong Zhen, the chief of staff of the Northeast Border Defense Army and acting commander, was sitting on the sofa in the main hall of Rongfu in a military uniform. Director Wang of the battle room of the commander's office stood aside and said to Rong Zhen with a list in his hand: "After the birthday, the banquet was divided into two halls in the north and south halls, and the south hall was arranged for the officers of the headquarters. He Shishen, the cold dinner banquet of the Western Band in the North Hall were arranged by the foreign manager and the consular representatives of various countries in Fengtian. He arranged his favorite meeting of Hechuntang for the old man in the backyard, and did not interfere with each other three times.
Rong Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said to Director Wang, "Changxing! Do you really drink a lot of foreign ink? A birthday greeting will make you make so many tricks?"
Director Wang, who looked happy, immediately said, "You usually take good care of us. This is right, it should be!"
Rong Zhen said with a difficult face, "But the current situation in Shenyang is so tense that it is not suitable for a big deal, right? We have to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to make money!"
Seeing this, Director Wang hurriedly said indignantly, "This has been said of loyalty and filial piety since ancient times. It is to be loyal to help the deputy commander to guard such a large family business. It is to help the old man celebrate his birthday to be filial piety. Who can say that this is not true? I'm the first one who can't forgive him!"
Director Xu, who came with Director Wang, also echoed: "That's right, Chief of Staff, don't mind what those useless people say and what they do. It's natural. We can't let the birthday of the chief of staff and the deputy commander of our northeastern border defense force live too shabby. Right? Even ordinary people have to do their best to celebrate the elderly, don't they? There is nothing wrong with people's ordinary feelings!"
Rong Zhen said with satisfaction. At this time, the phone suddenly rang. After the adjutant picked up the phone, his expression immediately changed. He covered the microphone and whispered to Rong Zhen, "It's Deputy Commander Peiping!"
