Lost and Spy

Chapter 386 Members of the Royal Family
The lieutenant, who had never said a word from the beginning to the end, spoke!
"Water, give me water to drink."

When a prisoner being interrogated asks the interrogator for water or cigarettes, it means that their minds have loosened and they are about to speak soon.

There are very few exceptions.

Meng Shaoyuan quickly brought water, and carefully poured some water into his tightly bandaged mouth with only a small hole exposed.

Like a sigh?
Yes, the Lieutenant General let out a low sigh.

Then, he spoke again, with a weak voice: "My name is Tokugawa Honda."

Tokugawa Honda?

From the Tokugawa family?

That's a big fish!
However, Tokugawa Honda has just started: "I have a sister named Tokugawa Kikuko, to be precise, she is my cousin."

Kikuko Tokugawa?Who?

Meng Shaoyuan didn't know him.

"You may not know Kikuko, but you must know her husband." Tokugawa Honda said slowly, "Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito."

Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito?
Ah, remember, remember.

The third son of Emperor Taisho of Japan, his elder brother, is now Emperor Showa of Japan!
At the age of 8, he was adopted to the extinct naval admiral Prince Arisugawa Miyabi, and became one of the richest people in the Japanese imperial family.

And it is also one of the main planners of a series of major decisions in Japan in the future!

Really caught a big fish!

This Tokugawa Honda is actually the... brother-in-law of Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito?

Only lieutenant?
Ah, yes, Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito's highest military rank is nothing more than Navy Colonel.

"Our grandfather was Duke Yoshiki Tokugawa!"

When he said this, Tokugawa Honda was proud that he couldn't hide it.

Tokugawa celebration?

The last general of the Tokugawa shogunate?

Meng Shaoyuan was very disdainful.

But on the face, you must not let the other party see it: "Ah, I'm sorry, so you are really a member of the royal family."

"Yes, a member of the royal family." Tokugawa Honda was still very proud.

He belongs to Tokugawa Shina, the sixth son of Tokugawa Yoshiki, and has a very good relationship with his cousin Kikuko.

Originally, he was placed in the army to give him some exercise, but he didn't expect that the Sino-Japanese war would break out, and his Imperial Guard Division was directly transferred to the Shanghai battlefield.

Tokugawa Honda was young and energetic, and thought that he could be promoted to lieutenant officer in such a short period of time, it was entirely due to his own hard work and ability.

Therefore, he categorically rejected Kikuko's idea of ​​transferring him out of the division, and still came to Shanghai.

Prince Gao Songgong Xuanren specially asked the head of the division to take care of his brother-in-law, but this unlucky guy encountered a sudden counterattack from the 21st Army of the Gui Army who had just arrived in Shanghai. Not only did he become a prisoner, but he was also seriously injured.

This dealt a serious blow to his proud heart.

Before, he wanted to die and serve the emperor, but who would have thought that he would meet Meng Shaoyuan again.

Just relying on his eyelids, he let him reveal his identity step by step, and he was very proud.

"You already know my identity." Tokugawa Honda gasped: "Now, you can exchange me for the supplies you need."

nonsense.

Do you still keep you here, eating ours and using ours?

You are not a particularly important person, at best you are a small lieutenant, if it weren't for your special status, I wouldn't bother to talk to you.

"Tell me, what if you were the Emperor's brother-in-law?" Meng Shaoyuan said in a daze.

"why?"

"Because, maybe I can draw a few cannons on you."

"idiot!"

As soon as Tokugawa Honda exerted more strength, the wound burst open, and he was in agony immediately.

"Don't be baga and qiga." Meng Shaoyuan stood up: "How many things do you think you can exchange?"

Well, the person in charge of negotiating must seize this opportunity well.

His brother-in-law, Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito, is the richest man in Japan...

……

Fell into a big fish!
The brother-in-law of Prince Xuanren of Takamatsu was captured.

This is what no one expected.

Of course, this is completely top secret information.

Those who know the truth are only controlled within a very small range.

The Japanese army was obviously completely irritated.

To a large extent, it was to rescue Tokugawa Honda. On the 23rd, the Japanese army launched a fierce attack across the board, and the fierce offensive of artillery fire was unprecedented since the Songhu Battle started.

The Japanese army released smoke as a cover during the attack. The Gui army mistook it for poison gas, and the army was in a state of confusion, and the frontline positions were immediately broken through.

The commander of the 174th Division, Wang Zanbin, personally went to the front line to supervise the battle and organized the troops to fight against the Japanese onslaught. The position south of Zoumatang was preserved.

At this time, in the rear, with the identification of Tokugawa Honda's identity, it quickly became busy.

The chairman of the committee sent a secret message from Nanjing, instructing that Tokugawa Honda must be protected, and that Dai Li had full authority to handle the matter.

"What do you think?"

In the office, Dai Li summoned Zhou Weilong, mayor of the Shanghai District, Cheng Yiming, the secretary, and Meng Shaoyuan, who had seen through Tokugawa Honda's identity, for an urgent discussion.

"Immediately publish in the newspaper and publicize my glorious victory." Cheng Yiming didn't have time to think: "This is the highest-ranking Japanese prisoner I have captured since the outbreak of the Shanghai War. It is an outstanding victory and will definitely inspire our military and civilian unity and determination to fight to the end!"

"I agree." Although Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming had never been at odds, this time he still stood by the secretary's side: "Before, it was difficult for us to capture a prisoner alive. Who would have thought that we have caught a big fish now."

Dai Li listened very seriously, and then set his eyes on Meng Shaoyuan: "What do you think?"

"Although Tokugawa Honda has a distinguished status in Japan, he is only a lieutenant in the army." Meng Shaoyuan had already thought about it: "How should we publish it in the newspaper? My heroic soldier captured the brother-in-law of Emperor Showa and his younger brother alive." What is the difference between this and the Qing Dynasty? The Qing Dynasty had many relatives and relatives, and no one knew who died.

If I were from Japan, would you publish it in the newspaper?I can use this opportunity to make a big fuss, I will fight back like this, China and Japan will go to war, even His Majesty the Emperor will send His Majesty's younger brother, Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito's wife and younger brother, to fight against China and never retreat.At that time, I really don't know whether it is the hearts of the Chinese people that inspire, or the determination of the Japanese to die! "

Dai Li nodded slightly: "Although the words are harsh, they are telling the truth. Meng Shaoyuan, if you were to deal with him, how would you deal with Tokugawa Honda?"

"It's cheaper to change things." Meng Shaoyuan said immediately: "We lack weapons, aircraft and artillery, but these can be overcome. The most lacking at present is medicine. Many soldiers, because of the lack of medicine, cannot receive timely treatment, and unfortunately Sacrifice. If a Tokugawa Honda is worth a ton of medicine, how many soldiers can he save?"

"Bold!" Dai Li reprimanded: "The soldiers in front finally caught a big fish, but you want to let him go? You are so bold, you deserve to die!"

Meng Shaoyuan was not afraid at all: "It's useless for Tokugawa Honda to stay here with us. In the eyes of their division commander and brigade commander, this is a playboy who came to China for gold plating. On the contrary, as I said just now, the Japanese still I will use this to make a big fuss, but if I replace him with real benefits, it will be very different."

Zhou Weilong had been with Dai Li for a long time, so he knew his temper very well. Although he reprimanded him, he didn't speak harshly at all. Maybe he agreed with Meng Shaoyuan's proposal in his heart.

I have a good relationship with Meng Shaoyuan, so it would be better if I didn't take this opportunity to say something nice for him: "Meng Shaoyuan, I think you have lost your head. If this matter gets out, you, Meng Shaoyuan, can lose a few heads Yes? However, Director Dai, this kid's proposal has some merits."

"Oh, is that so?" Dai Li asked slowly.

Zhou Weilong knew it well: "If we can really get back a large amount of medicine and our urgently needed supplies, it will be of great help to the War of Resistance."

Dai Li said "Oh" again: "Meng Shaoyuan, if this matter is entrusted to you, what are you going to do?"

"I have already released the news through special channels. Tokugawa Honda is not dead, he is alive and well." Meng Shaoyuan had already considered it: "I believe that in these two days, maybe today, the Japanese side will try their best to get along with us. Contact, negotiate. The advantage is entirely on our side.

Tokugawa was seriously injured, and the Japanese must think that relying on our medical methods may not be able to save his life.Once another accident happened to him, it would be difficult for Prince Gao Songgong Xuanren to explain.When negotiating, the most taboo thing is that one party is impetuous.We can talk slowly, but the Japanese absolutely want to settle this matter as soon as possible. "

"Meng Shaoyuan, I'm afraid you've already made up your mind?" Dai Li sneered, "Your courage is getting bigger and bigger. I think I'll shoot you with my own hands sooner or later."

"Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan actually said this: "Even if you want to shoot me, let me finish this matter first. If it really leaks out, someone will call me a traitor and a traitor. I will bear the crime alone. .”

Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming glanced at each other. If he dared to speak like that in front of Mr. Dai, he might be the only one in the military command, right?

"Leak what? Who will leak it?" Dai Li stared: "The only ones who know about this are a few people in the room. Who is the Japanese lieutenant commander? He was seriously injured and died after treatment failed."

"Yes, he's dead." Meng Shaoyuan said immediately, "We didn't find out his name until he died."

Dai Li snorted: "You came up with this bad idea, so you're responsible for it. Listen, if I'm not satisfied with the exchange, I'll still shoot you!"

"Understood, Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan had been waiting for Dai Li to hand over this task to him.

Pitting the Japanese makes me feel happy, so that I can forget all the troubles.

What's more important is that now I still have Tokugawa Honda's weight in my hand!
