The spy career of a surgeon

Chapter 281 Encourage
"It's so fast."

Zhou Qinghe looked at the message and marveled. First, he was surprised by Tu Feiyuan's actions. He had only been back to the Northeast for a few days, and he had actually completed all the sneak assassinations and blastings.

The second is that they were surprised that the Japanese military headquarters decided on the spur of the moment to let the Kwantung Army actually take action against Soviet Russia.

It is indeed the place where Tu Fei Yuan made his fortune, and his control is strong.

As expected of the Army Ministry controlled by Mitsui Mitsubishi, its decision to unconditionally support the Kwantung Army was just suspicious, so it dared to take action.

Isn't this seeking death?

Zhou Qinghe had never heard of it in his two lifetimes. Japan could beat a furry bear. If a dog and a bear had a head-on collision, the bones would not be chewed into pieces?
Zhou Qing was happy. This thing was interesting, very interesting, and especially valuable.

After reading the telegram, with his thoughts flashing, Zhou Qinghe went out to the Yasuda branch in Shanghai.

To contact the Yasuda family in mainland Japan, you cannot use the Army Ministry’s radio station for this matter.

"Send a report to confirm who among the middle and high-level personnel of the Army Ministry who agreed to take urgent action against Soviet Russia are members of the Mitsui Mitsubishi faction. Prepare a list of positions and send it to me."

But if the army is defeated, especially if the losses are huge and huge, then it is impossible to casually defeat them.

Although being sent abroad to Mongolia is definitely a derogation for a military section chief at a headquarters, but being reprimanded by the emperor and still enjoying promotion and demotion, it is definitely a guarantee, otherwise it will be over if he is transferred to a false position.

During the civil strife in Soviet Russia, the armies fought against each other and hundreds of thousands of people died. Only then did the army take action. This was the most appropriate time. Our losses were minimized and our profits were maximized, wasn't it? "

Until battle damage, bigger is better.

Are their military capabilities weak? Why not take action? They just want to reduce their losses and are never invincible. "

According to the telegram, Tanaka Shinichi’s current position is Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army in Mongolia.

We are trapped in China, and Soviet Russia has been waiting for work.

In fact, Zhou Qing was in a similar state to himself. Even if he made a small mistake today, would anyone in the Army Ministry dare to convict him? Relegate him to a corner?
It is impossible for the emperor to pass the test.

Kenichi Yasuda nodded when he heard this: "It's a bit strange. I don't understand military affairs, but I know how to do business. Businessmen pursue maximizing profits.

"You also said that you don't understand military affairs. I think you know more than most people in the army." Zhou Qinghe flattered him.

Tanaka Shinichi, former military section chief of the Military Affairs Bureau of the Army Ministry.

"Good protection." Zhou Qinghe wanted to laugh. If he saved it, Tanaka Shinichi would be completely pushed to a dead end.

Tanaka Shinichi is not important. Zhou Qinghe quickly put this name behind him. The most important thing now is to let the war continue. According to the staff headquarters, the battle is in progress. The more intense the better, and the longer it lasts, the better. good.

Yasuda Kenichi chuckled: "I really don't understand. I understand this truth. Are the people at Mitsui Mitsubishi so stupid that they don't understand? Or do they have other plans? I don't know. Why do you think you will definitely lose?"

Um? This surprised Zhou Qing and Xiaoxiao, "You are not optimistic about this war either?"

"He is actually in Mongolia?"

This was a perfect opportunity to launch an attack on the Mitsui-Mitsubishi faction.

In the Fujita mansion, on the sofa, Yasuda Kenichi asked: "What do you think?"

Mitsui wants to expose it, it's possible, but the Yasuda family is still eyeing it.

Zhou Qinghe directly gave the final answer, "Our side will lose this war."

“The reason is almost the same as yours, the timing is wrong.

Well, you can't say that. It won't be determined whether you will be alive or not by then.

Even the emperor didn't say much.

If Zhou Qinghe hadn't personally ended up killing two backbones with the Emperor's presence, it's basically certain that no one in the Mitsui Mitsubishi faction would have been punished in any way.

Kenichi Yasuda paid great attention to Fujita Kazuki's telegram. Fujita didn't often send telegrams. Now that he had sent it, it would definitely be of great use, so he acted quickly, inquired about it and sent the message back.

If Stalin dies, there is a high possibility of chaos and division within Soviet Russia. If the army seizes this opportunity to take action, it is indeed very likely to succeed. This is what some people in the military department said when persuading others at the meeting.
However, the best time to take action should not be now, but in the future.

Soviet Russia has been waiting for us to fight with the Chinese army until we are severely injured, and then they take action to swallow up China and our army together, pointing their swords at the homeland.

The brilliance is too strong and the record is too strong, so a few mistakes are not enough to shake his status.

"Why?" Yasuda Kenichi was surprised, "According to my speculation, our chances of winning are not great. You actually think that our people will lose. Do you have any source of information? The information I received is Stalin Maybe he’s dead, isn’t he?”

Once the war is defeated, he will live a good life.

This was the official position of a major general. The Emperor reprimanded him. He must have lost his position as the head of the military department. However, he was able to be promoted and secretly sent to Outer Mongolia. This was another sign that Mitsui Mitsubishi's people had saved him.

We are short of supplies, but Soviet Russia is not.

But I'm afraid it will be different this time. If something happens in Shanghai, it is a trivial matter. To the Japanese, the gang members and the military commanders are causing trouble, which has led to the unstable situation in Shanghai.

The top leader of the China Secret Service Committee leads the establishment of the new government. He selects the people and establishes the new government. He makes all the decisions regarding the handling of Chinese spy affairs.

The same goes for Madoka Doi. Some people will not let Madoka Doi get into trouble. This is a brand name. He is the signature figure of the Mitsubishi faction. He holds the special committee in hand. This is the rock to ensure that China's interests can be obtained in the future.

Now the Ministry of War has only one voice. It can be seen from the final punishment of Dofei Yuan for the drug incident in Shanghai. The result is that Dofei Yuan, the backbone of the faction, did not receive any punishment at all.

Kenichi Yasuda didn't hesitate and flew to Shanghai the next day.

Zhou Qinghe thought for a moment, and then asked someone to send a telegram to Kenichi Yasuda and ask him to come over in person. Some things were not suitable to be said in a telegram.

In fact, even if China is not involved, if we are now fully committed to fighting the Soviet Union, can we still win?

Zhou Qinghe was stunned when he received the telegram, and then became happy again. He saw the name of an acquaintance on the telegram.

Dofeiyuan is deeply trusted.

"But if Stalin is dead, they will definitely fall into internal conflicts. Let's send troops at this time." Kenichi Yasuda frowned and spoke. Although the matter was said like this, it was not the same as the word 'defeat' that Fujita Kazuki said. , and it doesn’t seem to be a strong correlation.

He was not optimistic about the coming war, but he always had some hope. He felt that the war with Soviet Russia had a certain winning rate, but it was not a guaranteed victory.

As for the shortage of materials, it is not impossible to support war with war. Soviet Russia has plenty of resources.

"No, it is a big mistake to start a war against the Soviet Union now. Those people in the Army Ministry are simply stupid."

Zhou Qinghe snorted coldly: "Let's just assume that Stalin is dead and Soviet Russia will fight within itself. This is natural.

However, there should be a prerequisite for this matter, that is, the people in Soviet Russia cannot find the murderer of Stalin!

Stalin died. It might have been done by us, it might have been the Germans, it might have been the Americans. It could have been anyone. It’s doubtful. It doesn’t matter. The Soviets couldn’t find a unified goal, and the next step would be internal fighting. Seize power until a new leader is elected.

But at this critical juncture, we intervened, and it was before news of Stalin's death came out. This can only mean one thing, we did it.

Then there is only one thing that the leaders of all Soviet military forces must do, kill the Japanese and avenge Stalin.

This dispatch of troops is not about splitting, but about forcibly knitting together all the Soviet and Russian armies. We must be defeated! "

"I understand." Kenichi Yasuda's expression became serious, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Then even if we conquer a small area and obtain a few resources, there will still be a steady stream of Soviet troops rushing over from other places. , want to kill us.

And our logistics are insufficient, so we won't be able to fight for long. "

"Correct."

Kenichi Yasuda sighed, "Tsk, why are these people in the military so stupid? I can't understand, and neither can they."

"Not necessarily." Zhou Qinghe frowned and said, "On the telegram you sent me yesterday, I saw a name, Tanaka Shinichi."

"What happened to him? He is the chief of staff in Outer Mongolia, right?" Yasuda Kenichi still remembered what happened yesterday.

Zhou Qinghe nodded: "These people in the military department are all fanatics, especially Tanaka Shinichi, who has been the military section chief. If he is not fanatical in this position, can he hold on to this position?
Now that he has been demoted to Outer Mongolia, if he has no record, his life will be like this. Can he be willing to do so?
Do you think he would kill it first and tell it later? For meritorious service?

Oh, by the way, there is Hideji Tojo. He is still buying airplanes in the aviation brigade. Doesn’t he want to find an opportunity to perform meritorious service and return to the Army Ministry?
Let the Kwantung Army cooperate with Shinichi Tanaka to attack Soviet Russia. Otherwise, when will the war against the Soviet Union begin?
It was not the first time that Tojo Hideji went to war against Soviet Russia. It was his long-cherished wish to defeat Soviet Russia. "

Kenichi Yasuda's mind suddenly became clear: "If you say so, why didn't the Mitsui Mitsubishi people wait until later? I understand a little bit. The Kwantung Army didn't discuss it with them at all." "Discuss? What's there to discuss? From their perspective. I want to go back, but if you are from Mitsubishi, it would be good for Tanaka Shinichi to go back, but even if you can't go back, or it will be very difficult to go back, can't you find someone else to support you?

Besides, regarding military matters, Tanaka Shinichi says it’s okay and Tojo Hideji says it’s okay, don’t you think it’s okay? "

"That's the truth." Yasuda Kenichi smiled: "So, outsiders can use it, but it is unreliable. When everyone's interests are inconsistent, disagreements will arise, tsk."

That's why I asked you to be my son-in-law. We are tied together and we will make money no matter what. Of course, Yasuda Kenichi thought about this silently and said that he would not say it.

"It's more than that." Zhou Qinghe had another reason: "I said at first that it was forced, but maybe it was forced. So what if we don't fight the Soviet Union? China has no resources and can no longer afford to spend military expenses. If we don't If the Soviet Union bites off a piece of meat, next year I’m afraid everyone in the army will have a hard time.”

"That's true." Yasuda Ken nodded.

Now it is a machine, a war machine, and it costs money to stop.

What's more, many soldiers have been promoted because of the war, and they are eager for war, and it is difficult to stop it.

"When you said it, I saw the current Army Ministry clearly. Mitsubishi Mitsui and those people also have many conflicts." Kenichi Yasuda smiled happily.

"It's easy to talk when you have money, but it's always contradictory when you don't have money."

“That’s accurate.”

The two people reached an agreement on the next war situation, "What do you want to do?" Fujita called him here, and he was definitely not here to teach him.

"Let us stop the War Ministry's war and strive for meritorious service?"

Zhou Qinghe shook his head and smiled half-heartedly: "Why not let them lose a big defeat?"

Kenichi Yasuda straightened his back suddenly, looked directly at Zhou Qinghe, and said seriously: "What a great idea!"

There are some words that don’t need to be said. Yasuda Kenichi himself has already fully understood, "The more miserable the Kwantung Army loses, the better, until all the people who agree with this matter are involved."

"Yes, for example, Prime Minister Lu, he is definitely to blame!"

"Do you have a specific plan?"

"There is no need for a specific plan, that is too rigid. You allow those who can take action to be flexible. It is an iron rule. Opposing this matter is not to stop it, but to stimulate them to win this war.

You want to scold them, you want to scold them, they get angry, you want to scold them, they become angry, you want to scold them, they are stupid, they scold their whole family, they scold them, even the pigs in the pig pen are smarter than them even if they sit in this position, you can scold them until they are beaten or locked up. , to spread the voice, this is called resentment, this is called irreparable.

There is a saying in China called Zhuge Liang after the fact. This kind of people are very annoying, but when the time comes, those of us will be Zhuge Liang before the fact. This is called excellent vision. "

Killing two birds with one stone and stimulating the expansion of the war. After the failure of these people, they will give way, and then let their own people take the position. It is logical. Yasuda Ken nodded: "I will arrange it with Konoe."

"it is good."

The specific effect depends on whether the Japanese soldiers take the bait.

Yasuda Ken arranged this matter as soon as he returned, and the effect was even better than Zhou Qinghe expected.

The battle report came. At the beginning, the Japanese army attacked the Soviet Union. It was only covered by a few fighter jets and less than 2000 people launched an attack on the disputed area.

Who would have expected that nearly 20 people were killed by the Soviet Union in the first wave, with a casualty rate of %, and the lieutenant who led the team was directly killed.

This kind of battle report is simply unavailable, and some people have lost face and have to fight for it. As a result, there are still people in the General Staff Headquarters and the Army Ministry who are trying to oppose it.

This is simply the spirit of cholera!

That is to say, the crime cannot be blamed on the staff, otherwise, if you just talk and talk, you will be pulled out and shot.

The situation escalated, and the troops stationed in Mongolia reorganized their divisions, with nearly 20,000 troops dispatched!
The Manchurian Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters deployed another 70 tanks, 180 aircraft, and 12 infantry battalions to support the battle!

Not to be outdone, Soviet Russia launched 150 aircraft a day to fight and assembled an army to join the battle!

Artillery roared on the ground, and planes fought in the sky.

One side is guarding the leader to defend his territory, and the other side is risking his future to avenge his past humiliation. This battle must not be lost.

In three days, 60 aircraft were completely destroyed on the ground alone, and the fighting was extremely fierce.

Within a month, people in the General Staff Headquarters began to curse, not just people from the An Tian family and the Konoe family, but people from the centrists or other factions who doubted the accuracy of starting this war.

Because Stalin came out not long after the war started, and the fat and round people went through all the hardships to get the results of the explosion at that time. People did die, but it was Stalin's substitute who died.

I heard that Stalin liked to use stand-ins and had several stand-ins. Although this is a rumor, some people have heard of it.

But if you ask a substitute to attend the funeral of a relative or friend, is that going a little too far?

Someone in the General Staff Headquarters already suspected that all the information had been leaked long ago and that this was a trap designed by Stalin.

Some people have even suspected that Tanaka Shinichi, who started the war at the beginning, was bribed by Stalin and deliberately provoked the war to start?
But this kind of gossip is definitely nonsense. Even if it is true, the war cannot stop now.

The battle continues to intensify.

The Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters continued to mobilize personnel, and the Soviet Union activated its hidden combat capabilities. More fighter jets took off, and an artillery brigade was mobilized to launch a fierce bombardment of the Japanese troops on the plains.

Within a month and a half, more people in the General Staff Headquarters were scolding me.

The Soviet army dispatched fighter planes, bombers, and 150 tanks, which simply massacred the Japanese troops in the open field. The casualties of the Japanese troops were too heavy.

This time the scolding had some effect, and the General Staff Headquarters issued an order for the army to retreat and repair.

The war cannot stop. If it stops, it will be a disastrous defeat. Until now, the Prime Minister, the Second Prime Minister, the Chief of Staff, and even the Prince Chief of Staff have all nodded in the decision-making meeting. If we lose, everyone will Everyone is responsible.

Those who have been dragged into the water cannot be left alone.

The war continued to intensify. The Soviet army had tanks, but the Japanese army did not. The Soviet army had artillery, but the Japanese army also had anti-tank rapid-fire artillery. They brought heavy artillery regiments from the interior and launched a full-scale counterattack after arriving.

On the 23rd, the entire Japanese army attacked!

On the 24th, I experienced a disastrous defeat and retreated to where I was.

The discussion in the staff headquarters became even louder. The staff meeting was not just about scolding, it was almost like a fight on the spot!

But some people have gone completely crazy.

"I didn't evacuate at the beginning. Do you want me to evacuate now that tens of thousands of people have died?"

It is impossible to withdraw!
We must keep fighting!
The General Staff Headquarters authorized the Kwantung Army Headquarters to mobilize personnel, and the Kwantung Army Headquarters mobilized all available personnel in the Northeast and quickly increased the number of troops to 150,000 to join the battle.

The Soviet Union was not afraid at all. An entire army group was pulled out, with 500 tanks, more than 500 cannons, and more than 500 aircraft. Deep pits were blasted out of the ground.

The battle has now begun, and the staff headquarters has become quiet.

Those who used to clamor against it now dare not speak out in this situation.

It was too scary, the casualties were too heavy.

The reported death toll alone exceeds 40,000!

The meeting was only depressing, and the only way they could think of was to mobilize troops. As for whether the war could be won, and how many people would need to be mobilized to win the war, these were no longer within the scope of the military bosses' consideration.

Everyone knows that if you stop, something will happen.

Anyway, Yasuda Kenichi has stopped his men. Don't talk too much now. If you talk too much, you may be taken away before death.

Among the people who decided to attack in the first place, many of them are now starting to feel wrong.

But the war must continue, continue to mobilize people!
There is no one left in the Northeast to mobilize, so we can mobilize garrison troops from Qingdao and Henan and rush to the battlefield!
And at this moment, bang, Germany attacked Poland, and Europe changed dramatically.

Soviet Russia did not want to fight.
