The spy career of a surgeon

Chapter 286 Provocation
Shen Linhao had pig liver stuffed in his mouth, so of course he couldn't let this matter go.

As soon as Zhou Qinghe's people left, the angry Shen Linhao, whose face was red with wine, rushed into the office of Director Koizumi Jiuhiko to complain.

How angry you are in your heart, how wronged you are when you cry.

Of course Zhou Qinghe would not move in until the office was cleaned up after vomiting.

So he drank tea in the personnel class and chatted interestingly with Kobayashi Yudai. It wasn't until after get off work that Zhou Qinghe went to the medical class to check whether the threat had any effect.

As soon as he entered the door of the Medical Bureau, he was told to go to the director's office.

It seems that Koizumi Kuhiko has finished his meeting.

Zhou Qinghe walked to the director's office, knocked on the door and entered.

"Director, Fujita Kazuki is reporting in."

Behind the desk, Koizumi Kuhiko is 55 years old, with an oval face, a bald head, round-rimmed glasses, and a thick gray-black beard under his nose.

Zhou Qinghe put down his cup and said, "Since they are all his people, let's shuffle some people out and bring in some new people to bring fresh blood to the medical bureau."

"No explanation, just do it if you want to."

On the contrary, it is the daily trivial matters in the bureau. Koizumi Kuhiko suppresses it, Fujita Kazuki wants to take power, and the Yasuda family wants to cut a piece of cake. If no one cooperates, it will be difficult.

"Haha, if he were here and you went to file a complaint, how difficult would it be for him?"

And judging from some of the information I gathered, the Imperial University Hospital, Military Hospital, and pharmaceutical dealers have quite a lot of influence behind this person.

So Yasuda Kenichi said: "I asked someone to check the background of Koizumi Kuhiko. He graduated from Tokyo Imperial University. He served as the military medical director of the Guards Division and the military medical director. He was also the only military medical lieutenant general. The highest level of military medicine is Lieutenant General, he has finally done it.

But this thing is also an offending thing, and it cannot be used easily. Even if you want to use it, it will cause a violent backlash from existing interest groups, and it is very likely that you will steal the chicken but lose the rice.

But I heard that Fujita-kun had an unpleasant incident with Kami Linhao at noon. You disposed of the body in the office and forced a piece of raw pig liver into Kami Linhao's mouth. Is this true? "

The hostility towards you may be due to the fact that the Mitsubishi people and themselves are concerned about the crisis. They are afraid that you, a famous doctor, will intervene to steal their business, and they want to beat you up in the military medical bureau once and for all.

Koizumi Kyuhiko was stunned when he heard this. He frowned and looked at Zhou Qinghe in surprise: "Section Chief Fujita doesn't seem to think that he has done anything wrong. This is the military department, not your home. You are treating a soldier." Personal insult, and using extremely brutal methods.

If you can't handle it, others will think you are weak. If you want to do something in the Military Medical Bureau, it will be extremely difficult. People at the headquarters are not stupid. "

Anti-corruption is a tool, and it must be a sharp sword for newcomers, because newcomers have no interest entanglements and cannot burn themselves.

The head of this kind of auxiliary department is different from the big boss of the army. The big boss of the army has interests in the front line and gets kickbacks on production and consumption.

"I'm not discussing with you, this is an order." Koizumi Kyuhiko said plainly, the position was decided, and there was no doubt that his voice was not heavy.

Zhou Qinghe stood up with a smile and smoothed his suit: "My rank is Colonel, and my decision on punishment will be discussed at a high-level meeting of the Army Provincial Office. Your Excellency has the rank of Lieutenant General and must know many people. You can try If there’s nothing else, excuse me.”

Yasuda Kenichi chuckled: "You have to open up the situation even if you collect money. It doesn't matter that Kamibayashi is just a small person. The key point is Koizumi Kuhiko. If one of his lieutenant generals suppresses you in the bureau, what are you going to do?"
Koizumi Kuhiko has been involved in military medicine for decades, and all key positions in the bureau should be his. "

It has been widely rumored that Fujita Kazuki is a famous doctor. A famous doctor should have an elegant and easy-going image. When this incident spreads, it will be a huge blow to your own reputation. Mr. Fujita, don’t you realize the seriousness of this matter? "

"It's impossible." Zhou Qinghe objected casually.

"I don't care what unpleasantness happened between you. To do such a bad thing to a colleague, who is also a colonel, disrespects the personality and dedication of Shen Linhao. This incident has a very bad impact. Mr. Fujita, I don't understand what you are doing." What is the original intention of this matter? I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation.”

"Anti-corruption, the wealth gained by using power will eventually be confiscated by new powers."

At night, Yasuda Manor.

Kenichi Yasuda raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The saying that wealth gained with power will eventually be confiscated by new powers is quite philosophical, but it is not easy to investigate corruption."

It is normal for someone to be dissatisfied when he dives into other people's territory and takes away the most powerful confidant position. This is also expected by Yasuda Kenichi.

"Kami Linhao jumped in and Koizumi Kyuhiko held a meeting. There was not even a welcome ceremony for me as the new section chief on the first day he took office. He really doesn't take it seriously. People who don't know thought he went out to avoid me on purpose so that Shenlin Lots of play.”

Zhou Qinghe laughed and took a sip of tea: "Actually, he is right to think so. Isn't it that our Yasuda family comes here just for money?"

Kamibayashi Hao, the former first section chief, must be Koizumi Kuhiko's man, and he is a general.

Zhou Qinghe nodded lightly, turned around and left.

He also established a medical university in Manchuria. From this perspective, his relationship with the Kwantung Army must be very good. He should be from Mitsubishi. Even if he is not, there should be a lot of interests involved.

This does not require any effort from the Yasuda family. At this critical juncture of treating the Emperor, whoever dares to give Fujita and Kiyoshi eye drops is seeking death, and it will be of no use to anyone.

Koizumi Kuhiko didn't expect Fujita Kazuki to have such a tough character, and his eyes were slightly gloomy. It had been a long time since anyone had dared to challenge his authority like this.

Koizumi Kuhiko crossed his fingers on the table and said businesslikely: "On behalf of the Medical Bureau, I would like to welcome Mr. Fujita's arrival.

As for Director Koizumi’s opinion that famous doctors should be elegant and easy-going, if this incident spreads, it will be bad for my reputation.
Thanks for your concern, I don't care. "

Kenichi Yasuda is not worried at all about whether Koizumi Kuhiko will report it to the general office to discuss the punishment of Fujita Kazuki.

Koizumi Kyuhiko frowned: "Chief Fujita, you don't care, but I can't. I am the director, and the affairs of the bureau are my business. Shen Linhao has worked hard for decades and paid a lot for the affairs of the bureau. Now even if If he steps down, I will protect his rights and you need to apologize to him."

After dinner, Yasuda Kenichi smiled and asked Zhou Qinghe how his class was today, and Zhou Qinghe also talked about what happened today.

Zhou Qing and Feng Qingyun smiled calmly: "I like to be reasonable when dealing with civilized people. When dealing with rogues, you should use rogue methods. For a soldier, if you can't follow the orders and prohibitions when the military orders are issued, what kind of soldier is he? Bargaining, relying on one's old man and selling one's old man, this is It's the military department, not the market.

"Chief Fujita, please sit down."

In this kind of military medical department, the network of relationships is more complicated, including domestic politicians, school factions, etc.

"How to wash?"

"Indeed."

The collision of interests is unavoidable, which is why Zhou Qinghe directly chooses to be tough. It will be a matter of time before he meets. A few exciting words are just an appetizer, and in the future, it will only become more intense.

"If you want to investigate the Military Medical Bureau, it must be ordered by the military. I think people from Mitsubishi will strongly oppose this matter. The military may not necessarily cooperate with you, even if the military is short of money now and there are too many people involved."

Zhou Qinghe nodded and said, "It's not easy. Don't ask anyone to talk about this matter. I'll handle it. I'll make this matter open up a hole."

"Oh?" Kenichi Yasuda's eyes lit up and he asked curiously: "Tell me, how to do it?"

"You will know when the time comes and your cooperation will be required."

Zhou Qinghe now has no foundation in the Military Medical Bureau. If he wants to check the accounts, others will definitely not cooperate, so Zhou Qinghe has to start with small things.

For example, a few Japanese soldiers who fought bravely died.

The next day, there was a meeting between the middle and high-level officials of the Military Medical Bureau.

It was Fujita Kazuki's first public meeting. After speaking, Koizumi Kuhiko also asked Zhou Qinghe if he had any constructive opinions on work.

Routine.

Then veto.

Zhou Qinghe didn't have any temper at all, and he just got angry in private. Nine out of ten people sitting in this big conference room were from other people's families, so it was pointless to argue.

Koizumi Jiuyan also educated Zhou Qinghe and let him know that Zhou Qinghe could not do anything in the Military Medical Bureau without him speaking up. Even Koizumi Jiuyan could suppress the approval of documents.

Zhou Qinghe simply didn't need to do anything and continued to read the information.

The Military Medical Bureau is in charge of the medicines of the entire army. Most of the reports of injuries and battles are telegrams sent back from all over China about what diseases have broken out, what medicines are needed, or what incurable diseases they want the military department to help solve.

After picking it up, Zhou Qinghe pulled out a report message from the Kwantung Army in the Northeast.

Frostbite is very common in the Northeast. It's so cold outdoors. If you take off your pants and pee, the urine will freeze into ice in the air.

If you take off your pants and unbutton them, your anus may freeze and crack.

If you have to hold a gun with your hands, it is even more common to get frostbite.

Frostbite ointment is a common medicine specially distributed to the troops in the Northeast and those attacking Soviet Russia.

The ingredients are very simple, calamine and suet. Apply to the affected area two or three times a day. After thinking for a moment, Zhou Qinghe pulled out the drug supply record, which recorded in detail the time, how many drugs were sent to which troops, and the method of transportation.

From a time point of view, drugs with high demand in the war readiness warehouse are shipped in and out almost every day, while drugs that are less commonly used usually start in half a month, two months a month, or are temporarily allocated when there is demand.

The frostbite ointment is shipped every seven days from Japan to Northeast China, and is distributed together with other daily necessities.

The crowd has been selected, the target has been selected, and all that's left is to add some seasoning to them.

Itching powder is more suitable.

The main ingredient of itching powder is rock wool used for industrial thermal insulation. It is composed of many tiny hairs and can easily fly into the air, fall into the human body and penetrate into the pores, making people extremely itchy. They can also scratch their skin, and if they inhale it into the respiratory tract, it will be even more uncomfortable.

Once used, it lasts for two to three hours.

After opening the package of the frostbite ointment, the itching powder penetrated into the pores for two or three hours. On one side, the wound was cracked by the frostbite, and on the other side, it was extremely itchy and I wanted to scratch it. This picture is quite wonderful when I think about it.

Let Yasuda Kenichi handle the supply of rock wool. As the medicines are shipped to the Northeast, he can mix the goods bit by bit along the way.

After arriving in Northeast China, boxes of frostbite ointment were distributed.

The Japanese army had a strong demand for these daily necessities. In this era, there was no other way to keep warm except wearing thick clothes by the fire. It was always easy to get frostbite when going outside. Exposed parts such as hands and face were especially hard-hit areas.

After they got the frostbite ointment, they would apply Fujita brand frostbite ointment on the cracked areas every day.

A wonderful scene appeared immediately.

The first Japanese soldier started to scratch his face. At first, he had only a small amount of strength. He was afraid that his face would be scratched, so he endured it. As a result, it became more and more itchy, and the more itchy, the more he wanted to scratch, until he could no longer bear it, and he made a squeaking sound. He began to scratch his face hard, and marks were scratched by his fingernails. The frost-cracked wounds reopened just as they healed.

"Ah! Why is it so itchy!" The Japanese wailed in pain, scratching while wailing.

Some people laughed at it at first, how could it be so itchy? And as blood appeared on his face, he realized that things had become a little scary.

Everyone has hairs on their bodies, which are just hairs on stones. The itch seems to be contagious and quickly spreads among the military camps in several cities in the Northeast.

The gripper for scratching the face was okay, at least it was outside the clothes, so it was easy to grab, but the Japanese soldiers who inadvertently got frostbite on their buttocks, arms, and backs were miserable. They were wearing too thick clothes, so they were scratched and scratched.

You still have to take off your clothes and scratch your naked body as hard as you can.

plague!

This matter was immediately reported to the hospital and to the military police headquarters. There was a water supply unit outside the city studying bacteria. Ordinary people didn't know about it, but their senior officials still knew about it.

For a moment, I felt like I was facing a powerful enemy, thinking that the plague was coming.

The water supply troops were on standby and sent people into the city to investigate the patients. They found it was itching, which had nothing to do with them.

"Maybe it's a skin disease."

The itchy powder that can penetrate the pores of the skin is completely invisible to the naked eye, and it is a new thing, and the people in the water supply team are confused.

It's none of their business.

It was two of the soldiers who were coughing and coughing up blood that sparked their idea.

"Tuberculosis bacteria?" The investigator of the water supply unit felt as if he was facing an enemy.

The first reaction was to retreat, and the second reaction was to immediately take out the mask and put it on.

When the news came back to Japan, the Military Medical Bureau immediately held a meeting.

Everyone looked serious, and Koizumi Kuhiko's face was even more ugly. Tuberculosis is a terminal disease and has huge destructive power.

He said seriously: "According to our data, the incubation period of tuberculosis is more than one month, which means that although the number of cases currently discovered in Manchuria is not large, a large-scale outbreak of tuberculosis may occur at any time!
Kitano-kun, how is the progress of tuberculosis research? "

Kitano Shoji, head of the health section of the Medical Bureau, shook his head sadly: "There is no effective solution to tuberculosis bacteria yet."

"What about Manchuria?"

"Shiro Ishii did not report, so there should be no progress."

It is useless to say anything without medicine, and it is useless to hold a meeting.

After the meeting, Zhou Qinghe continued his own affairs. Although tuberculosis broke out, it did not affect the continuation of his plans.

Someone sent a message to the British and American consulates, saying that a new disease was breaking out in Manchuria, which would cause skin ulcers and was easily contagious. The reason was that the Military Medical Bureau charged huge kickbacks for purchasing medicines and allowed drug manufacturers to use moldy production lines.

He also said, "As long as no one can die for a while, it will be fine. Anyway, if you take the medication for a year or two, you will die. There is no need to use better medicine."

Can you even say this?

Of course people in the British and American consulates are very interested in this kind of military scandal!
I immediately contacted the consulate in Northeast China to inquire about this matter. When I learned that someone was indeed sick, I immediately began to report the matter in international media and Japanese local media. It also included several purchased pictures of Japanese soldiers scratching and ulcerating skin. photo.

As soon as the news came out, it attracted the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The army was humiliated internationally and Koizumi Kuhiko was called to a high-level meeting.

On the other hand, public opinion was immediately outraged after the domestic newspapers reported the incident.

"These words are too vicious!"

"Is the person who said this still a human being?"

"These corrupt dogs from the Military Medical Bureau actually embezzled 8000 million yuan!"

The words are particularly infuriating, and the numbers are even more intuitive.

It was not enough for them to contribute all the men in the family to fight the war. They also scrimped and stepped up production just for the national war production plan launched by the new prime minister.

A man only earns 8000 yuan a month, and a military medical bureau embezzled million yuan. They are a bunch of beasts!
Voices of dissatisfaction spread through the streets, and an information brief was handed into the hands of Emperor Hirohito.

Zhou Qinghe would come to see Hirohito every day, and he could not show his concern, so he saw Hirohito with a dark face scolding his mother.

"Fujita, is this true?" Hirohito looked at Zhou Qinghe and asked.

Zhou Qinghe glanced at the newspaper and said casually: "Maybe, the probability of corruption in procurement positions has always been very high, and based on my understanding of working these days, the staffing of the Military Medical Bureau is very stable. Due to technical reasons, it has been for more than ten years. They won’t change the batch. Over time, no one will discover the corruption. In fact, this system is really bad.
Your Majesty, I have a straightforward temper. Whatever I say to you is just a guess. You should ask the military department for details. I have short working hours and this procurement is not within my scope of work. "

"What I want is the way you say what you say." Hirohito said nothing, with a sullen face and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the military budget is currently short. I think you can take this matter as an opportunity to clean up the corrupt criminals. Firstly, you can find their money and replenish the national treasury. Secondly."

Zhou Qinghe nodded at the newspaper: "I don't know the Military Medical Bureau comprehensively now, but when Chiba and I went shopping, we got to know the lives of the lower-class citizens, and I have a better understanding of their lives.

They live in poverty and support the war, but they also have resentments and find life difficult, so I think the cabinet can actually do something.

I used to read the history of China's Three Kingdoms, and there was a scene in the book. Cao Cao ran out of food before the war started, and it was enough for three days. However, he asked the quartermaster to reduce the daily quota and kill some more horse meat to eat for two days. I had to eat food for a month.

At the beginning of the war, the quartermaster was killed, his head was hung up, and then the soldiers were fed with the last day's food, and the whole army went out.

The result was a big win.

I think this is what makes people united. "

The advantage of the emperor system is that he can have a say, and there is a popular sycophant like Zhou Qinghe beside him to turn a deaf ear.

Combine the events in newspapers and public criticism.

Hirohito deeply agreed with Zhou Qinghe's suggestion.

And Cao Cao, the hero of the Three Kingdoms period, did the same thing. This is historical experience.

"This is all a manifestation of the inaction of the previous army prime ministers. The Kwantung Army was defeated and the Military Medical Bureau was corrupted. It is simply an unforgivable crime!"

The new Prime Minister was Hirohito's former chief of bodyguards. He soon received an order from Hirohito. The Ministry of War launched an investigation into the accounts of the Medical Bureau in recent years, and he wanted to see the final report.

I also didn’t forget to add a very considerate sentence after being reminded by some people.

"The matter at the Military Medical Bureau involves professionals. The Army Ministry has set up an investigation team. You send someone to be the team leader, with Fujita Kazuki as the deputy team leader, so as not to be deceived by those shady liars without even knowing it!"
