Lost and Spy

Chapter 1027 Final victory

Kenji Doihara sat alone in the office for a long, long time.

No one dared to disturb him.

He had just lost his most powerful assistant Yanagawa Yasujun, and then the leader of the scientific research team, the Japanese poison gas warfare expert Hashimoto Kazugo, died. At the same time, two experts in the scientific research team died and the other disappeared.

This caused the research on the new type of poisonous gas to come to a complete standstill, the commander in front expressed serious dissatisfaction, and the military department has begun to thoroughly investigate the matter.

When the Doihara Agency was established, it was in high spirits. It was a new spy organization integrating the Japanese Army, Navy, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

When Kenji Doihara first arrived in Shanghai, he wanted to flex his muscles, completely change Shanghai's intelligence work, and regain the initiative in Japan.

But he was hit hard one after another.

The failures one after another not only severely dampened Kenji Doihara's confidence, but also severely damaged the entire Japanese special organization in Shanghai.

The above has been seriously dissatisfied.

Just now, he received two telegrams.

One was a telegram from the military department reprimanding him for his incompetence, demanding to solve the case as soon as possible, and to take corresponding responsibilities.

The other one was taken by a close friend of his in Japan.

"Please call Habara Koichi."

Kenji Doihara finally picked up the phone.

Not long after, Habara Koichi appeared in front of him: "Your Excellency, General."

"Please sit down, Habara-kun."

Kenji Doihara cheered up: "What do you think about the murder of Hashimoto and me?"

"It's impossible to guard against. I still don't understand why Gu Shigehara Michi rebelled? He is a member of the military command? Impossible. When he served in the Imperial Japanese Navy, the Lixing Society had not yet been established." Habara Koichi was also puzzled The solution: "He was later instigated by the military command? Even more incredible, how did the military command instigate him?

I don't think I can explain the whole thing before and after.Even if Meng Shaoyuan had great abilities, he would not be able to instigate a naval officer against him.There must be a point in this, which we cannot find for the time being.Perhaps, there are some unseen connections between Liao Yuting, Miao Chengfang, and Gu Fanyuan! "

"I can't figure it out either." Doihara Kenji sighed: "Back then, the three tigers of the empire, Akagi-san died, Matsumoto Hitotsu committed suicide, and Tani Shigehara Michi did this kind of thing again. All three of them died. In Shanghai. Ridiculous, sad, is Shanghai really a tomb? Dao Gu Shigenyuan? Is he really crazy?"

Perhaps Kenji Doihara and Mitsuichi Habara would never be able to figure out this secret for the rest of their lives.

Crazy, it can only be explained by Gu Fanyuan Dao being crazy.

"This secret may only be left to you to crack." Kenji Doihara cheered up: "I will probably leave Shanghai soon."

"What did you say, Your Excellency General?" Habara Hikaru was stunned: "You want to leave Shanghai?"

"Yes." Kenji Doihara took out a telegram: "I have a close friend in China who can know the decision of the military department in advance. They are considering replacing me and sending someone else to take over my job."

"Your Excellency, General." Hikari Habara became anxious at once: "Yes, our work has indeed suffered a great setback, but at least our past serious passive situation has been reversed to a certain extent. If we continue, I firmly believe that it won't be long before a new situation emerges."

Kenji Doihara smiled bitterly: "You also know those people in the military department, they lack the necessary confidence. Well, there is no possibility of reversing this matter, so stop talking about it. Habara-kun, I called you here today, I want to discuss with you what to do with the city after I leave Shanghai, and how you should cooperate with the new superior.

No matter who is to be dispatched to take over my position, I will solemnly recommend you to him. Among all the intelligence personnel in the entire Shanghai Empire, you are the most capable one, and also the one I am most optimistic about.For a long time to come, please keep in mind my words, you will be Meng Shaoyuan's biggest opponent!

You have the indomitable spirit, failure after failure will not make you give up, it will only make you stronger.You patiently learn from your opponents, you are willing to engage in boring analysis work, and find fleeting clues from tens of thousands of files. All of these are excellent qualities that many of our intelligence personnel possess! "

"You are too much, Your Excellency the General."

Hearing these words, Habara Koichi didn't feel excited, but felt a little sad in his heart.

"No, I'm not complimenting you, I'm speaking from the heart." Kenji Doihara said slowly: "In the future, when the new leader arrives, you must cooperate with him with all your strength. Maybe you will be wronged, but look For my sake, please try to put away these grievances, for the victory of the Great Japanese Empire, everything else is secondary."

"I will work hard, Your Excellency General." Habara Koichi bowed deeply.

"Okay, let's talk about something that makes you happy." Kenji Doihara squeezed a smile on his face: "In order to let you better cooperate with the new leadership in the future, I have decided to officially appoint you as the Shanghai Secret Service minister."

Hikaru Habara was stunned there.

The Shanghai Secret Service Department, formerly known as the Doihara Agency's Special Work Department, was succeeded by Deputy Minister Yanagawa Yasunori after the death of the first minister, Yasuhide Bannai.

After Yanagawa Kosumi's death, this position was vacant there.

Now, Your Excellency the General actually appoints himself as the Minister of the Secret Service?
This is tantamount to becoming the No. [-] powerful figure in the Shanghai authority in one fell swoop.

Habara Koichi quickly understood the painstaking efforts of Doihara Kenji.

Arranging myself in this position can make the new leader have to seriously examine the relationship with himself.

Your Excellency, General, is planning for the future.

"Your Excellency, I am willing to accept this position!"

Hahara Koichi did not hesitate too much: "I will work hard to manage the relationship with the new leader, and I will work hard to manage the Shanghai agency. One day, you will see our victory! I believe that Meng Shaoyuan is not invincible!"

"Please, Habara-kun!"

In May 1939, Kenji Doihara was transferred to be the commander of the Fifth Army of North Manchuria.

This China Hand who has spent half his life in intelligence work in China, this strategist who single-handedly planned the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo regime, this plan to blow up Zhang Zuolin and support the so-called North China Autonomy Chief Secret Service, in Shanghai, met with all his life. The most painful Waterloo.In Shanghai, suffered the worst failure of his life.

His spy career in China, and even his entire intelligence career, is over!

After that, he served as a commander, as a senator, and even as the director of education, one of the three chiefs of the army. However, he never got involved in intelligence work again!

His intelligence career was ended by one person:
The strongest agent on the surface, Meng Shaoyuan!
In 1946, at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, Kenji Doihara, the first batch of designated Class A war criminals, adopted a silent retreat strategy in an attempt to escape trial by taking advantage of loopholes in British and American laws.

Because at that time, the criminal evidence about Kenji Doihara was seriously insufficient. If he refused to provide testimony, he could not be convicted of a felony under British and American laws.

So during the court trial, which lasted more than two years, he only said four words, that is, when the presiding judge asked him whether he admitted his guilt, Doihara replied "innocence", and he did not speak again after that. Represented by a lawyer.

Then, Mr. Mei Ruao, the chief judge of the military court of the Chinese nation stationed in the Far East, received a mysterious package half a year later.

When he opened the package to see what was inside, according to his assistant, Mr. Mei excitedly knocked on the door of another Chinese judge, Ni Zhengyu, in the middle of the night, waving the things in his hand and shouting:
"Evidence, evidence! We have evidence of Kenji Doihara's crime!"

In the ensuing trial, a large amount of sufficient evidence about Kenji Doihara’s war crimes committed in China appeared in court, coupled with the efforts of Mei Ruao and Judge Ni Zhengyu, finally completely defeated Kenji Doihara’s psychology line of defense.

In November 1948, Kenji Doihara was hanged at Sugamo Prison for crimes such as "breaking the peace, violating the laws and customs of war, and being against humanity".

On December 1948, 12, 23 days after the verdict was issued, Kenji Doihara was the first to go to the gallows by drawing lots.

Escorted by two executive gendarmes, he walked up 13 steps and then stood at attention.The executive judge first ordered in English and then in Japanese: "Kenji Doihara, turn around in place!"

Here, it will be the end of Kenji Doihara's life, and the death knell is ringing for him.

The execution gendarmes put a black cloth hood on Kenji Doihara's head, then saluted the executioner and reported: "Everything is ready."

However, when Kenji Doihara died, the American military police suddenly said something to Kenji Doihara in a low voice:

"Meng Shaoyuan asked me to tell you that you will never leave hell!"

"Meng Shaoyuan?"

Kenji Doihara stayed there, and suddenly, he yelled crazily: "This is impossible, impossible!"

"Execution!"

The executive immediately pressed the button.The movable step on the gallows suddenly opened, and Kenji Doihara's feet were suspended in the air, and his whole body sank into the gallows.

At the moment before Kenji Doihara's death, he suddenly thought of the phone call he had with Meng Shaoyuan when he had just arrived in Shanghai as the head of the agency.

"Since the Battle of Songhu, I have no way out, and every Chinese has no way out!"

On that day, Meng Shaoyuan said this to him on the phone:
"Mr. Doihara, do you know my personality? I have always had a bad reputation as a person. I am narrow-minded, and I will pay you back. If you respect me, I may not pay you back, but if you touch a hair of mine , I will definitely pull out all your hair!"

Then, Meng Shaoyuan told him:
"My people, I can't move. Shanghai has been peaceful for a long time, but when you unplug so many of my contact points, Shanghai, war broke out!"

The outcome of this war has finally been decided.

Meng Shaoyuan, he won!
