The spy career of a surgeon

Chapter 287 Cleaning
The current Prime Minister of the land is called Yan Junliu, and his rank is general.

Before serving as Hirohito's chief of guard, his previous position was the commander of the Central China Expeditionary Force of the Japanese invaders. He commanded the Battle of Wuhan.

Figures like Hideji Tojo are in the stage of rising. They are suppressed from time to time and dependent on certain forces. This person is completely different.

A family with two generals. His brother was a general in the 30s, so he came from a family of generals.

A giant family in the army.

When Zhou Qinghe was treating Hirohito, he asked Hirohito why he chose Yan Junliu as Prime Minister.

Hirohito told him, “Before the Wuhan offensive, everyone in the military felt that there would be a decisive battle with the Chinese army in Wuhan.

Ten of the ten submissions submitted to me said that this battle must be fought.

At that time, Yan Junliu specially sent people from the Chinese battlefield to tell me that the Battle of Wuhan should not be fought. It was time to end the war in mainland China. If we go further, Japan will be in danger.

The army was mired in the Chinese battlefield and domestic supplies were in short supply. Looking back now, were the people who were in charge of the military at that time a bunch of short-sighted idiots?

It's a pity that he has died. Otherwise, if Zhou Qinghe and Gao Xiao bought a book, it would be used as funds to support his operations.

"Come in."

"Well, please sit down."

I felt at that time that the people in the Military Medical Bureau had accumulated money to a shameless level and should have been thoroughly cleaned up long ago! "

Yan Junliu saw Zhou Qinghe's kind smile: "You are a talented person. I heard a lot about you when I was the captain of the bodyguard. In fact, I heard about your deeds during the Chinese battlefield. Youming has a son like you, which can be considered a good one." A tiger father has no dog sons.”

But how could the Army Surgeon General listen to the Navy?

"Crime is unforgivable, these are the exact words of His Majesty the Emperor."

After taking over the anti-corruption task, Zhou Qinghe went to the Army Ministry to find Yan Junliu.

During the war with Russia, more than 20,000 soldiers died of beriberi alone, and more than 200,000 were infected with beriberi.

But when Hirohito said this, Zhou Qinghe understood why Hirohito felt that Yan Junliu was honest and reliable.

Zhou Qinghe made a simple judgment and entered.

Zhou Qinghe had seen this matter when he was looking at the information of the Military Medical Bureau. After all, it was the glorious record of the former director.

"There used to be a kind of beriberi in the army, which caused ulcers on the legs and feet, and many soldiers died. The previous director of the Military Medical Bureau was called Mori Ogai. He developed a drug called 'Creosote Pills', which he said can Treat beriberi.

It's just hopelessly stupid!

After sighing, Yan Junliu looked solemn: "Okay, let's get down to business. Since His Majesty the Emperor has given the order, we will do this well. You must have just returned from His Majesty's place, right? How far is the progress of the anti-corruption matter? To what extent? Has His Majesty given any instructions?”

He had also used this trick before the chaos in Shanghai, but there was a difference. Zhou Qinghe was behind the scenes and manipulated the outcome to win. He really predicted the outcome and had a really good strategic vision.

"Report! Fujita Kazuki is reporting in!" At the door, Zhou Qinghe stood at attention and paused.

So, if you still eat too well and eat polished rice every day, you are deficient in vitamin B1. If you don’t have athlete’s foot, who will?

Because this guy is a poet, and his book "Dancing Girl" is indeed very romantic.

"Do you know my father?" Zhou Qinghe was able to start a friendship again.

If the Wuhan offensive had not been launched at that time, the domestic situation would not be so bad. If we digested the resources of the occupied areas on the spot, would the situation be 10,000 times better than now? "

Because the officers eat well and have rich meals with each meal, the soldiers below are a little poorer. They only eat rice and no vegetables. The food allowance originally issued can be used to buy vegetables, but they were all sent home, so they only eat rice. A single diet is the origin of beriberi.

"Indeed." Zhou Qinghe nodded in deep agreement.

Yan Junliu raised his hand, leaned on the chair and said: "I was the commander of the artillery regiment at the time, and Yuming was the captain of the military police in charge of military law. One of my subordinates made some mistakes and was arrested by the military police. His family came to beg me. , I went to Yuming and asked him to let him go, but Yuming refused to give in and gave the man a whipping in public. "

It was promoted for several years, a lot of money was spent, and 600 million pills were produced, but it turned out to be useless at all.

Seeing Zhou Qinghe's expression, Yan Junliu laughed and waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, it's all in the past. Besides, what Youming did was right. I admire him very much, but it's a pity that I am jealous of Yingcai."

Zhou Qinghe let out a surprised sound, and smiled awkwardly but politely. They are fucking enemies, right?

Hirohito's choice of him as land minister should also have the meaning of different factions. The Central China Expeditionary Army and the Kwantung Army had different interests. Hirohito also needed another voice to balance the military.

Yan Junliu's appearance was completely different from what he expected. He was 60 years old and skinny. At first glance, Zhou Qinghe thought this man had taken drugs.

This is called the father of the hindsight, the front-runner.

At that time, the incidence of beriberi was not high in the Navy, but higher in the Army, and it was not higher at the upper levels than at the lower levels. The incidence rate was as high as 30% of the entire army. Comparing the two, it was estimated that it was a problem with diet.

Creosote pellets must be produced vigorously. This is a great invention with a romantic atmosphere.

Moreover, soldiers love to eat rice. If you let them eat dry food, what are the benefits of being a soldier? Isn’t this soldier in vain?

The Navy made suggestions to improve the diet to solve the problem.

Don't sound like a fool. When people tell you, don't you listen?

Um? War with Russia? Zhou Qinghe's thoughts flashed, and Yan Junliu had experience in fighting in Soviet Russia in his early years.

"I don't understand." Yan Junliu frowned and his eyes flashed, he thought for a moment and said:

He single-handedly killed more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers, which can be regarded as an anti-Japanese hero in another sense.

As we get older, it’s easy to dwell on the past, especially those who have died.

Most civilian officials are responsible for war, and many military generals are responsible for peace. In fact, this was the model of the Military Department at that time, but the people who were in charge of the Army Ministry were just a bunch of civilian officials.

The army prohibits drugs, and it is impossible for Yan Junliu to take drugs, otherwise he will definitely be taken over by his opponents, and it can only be a serious illness.

"Were you on the Soviet-Russian battlefield?"

Yan Junliu nodded, "When I looked at the soldiers who died in the fester, do you know how I felt? There was nothing I could do!"

Ah, new grudges add to old grudges, that’s how it is.

Yan Junliu covered his chest and coughed, took a deep breath and said, "If fewer people had died back then, maybe I wouldn't have been hit by bullets. The Military Medical Bureau's sins are really too deep."

"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Qinghe hesitated and looked at Yan Junliu's chest.

Yan Junliu pulled off his collar, and there was a closed bullet hole scar on his chest where his lungs were.

"That shot cost me a lung."

Oh, then it’s no wonder that he looks like he’s on drugs, isn’t it? Do romantic poets die of old age? It wasn't you who did it, was it?
Zhou Qinghe secretly speculated in his heart, and said on the surface: "Then you should pay attention to rest, stay in a place with a good environment, and breathe more fresh air."

It's an old injury, it's been more than ten years, and there is no chance to take action.

But words can't be said to death.

"Actually, I have been thinking recently about whether human lungs can be transplanted. If there is progress, I will help you replace one."

"Oh? Can lungs be transplanted?" Yan Junliu's eyes lit up. Who doesn't want to be in good health?

"It's still an idea. You know I have been studying the Emperor's spine a few days ago. I have only briefly looked at the research on the lungs. I will take some time to focus on it."

Throwing in sweetness is better than nothing.

"it is good."

Yan Junliu smiled, it was just a hope, even if it succeeded, it would take a long time, so he skipped the topic and continued with the business:
"Let's get started. Since the Emperor asked me to appoint the team leader, let the director of the Accounting Bureau be the team leader."

Yan Junliu called him over with a phone call.

"You are the deputy team leader, so just go ahead and do whatever you want. If you have any questions, come to me anytime."

"Hi."

Yan Junliu's words made it very clear that he had a grudge against the Military Medical Bureau and wanted Zhou Qinghe to die.

Zhou Qinghe and the director of the Accounting Bureau gathered their troops and led the troops into the Military Medical Bureau aggressively.

The people working in the Military Medical Bureau were immediately frightened by this posture. Combined with the fermentation of outside newspapers in the past two days, many people had a premonition of something.

Koizumi Jiuhiko walked out of the office at this time, his expression was quite calm.

The news has been fermenting for a day now. I have said all the greetings that should be said, and what can I find out through the investigation?
"Let them check."

From top to bottom in the Military Medical Bureau, from the department to the warehouse manager, everyone is his staff. Everyone is eating from the pot of the Military Medical Bureau. Who would open his mouth and say something that shouldn't be said?

And so what if you say it, this is wartime, there may be some mistakes in management, and corruption is a personal matter, does it mean it is true if you say it? Even if it is true, what does it have to do with him?
If he could find the problem by just checking, his decades of work would have been in vain.

The sneer he glanced at Zhou Qinghe contained only one sentence: young. Questions were asked, accounts were checked, the people in the office found that the director was not worried at all, so what did they have to worry about? If everyone eats meat together, it must be that they don't know the three questions. I don't know. I'll check it out. I have to wait. , you can ask me again in two days.

Anyway, I can't say that I am not cooperative, but it is indeed a waste.

On the second day, the people in the investigation team couldn't find anyone. When asked, they said they were busy with business, and they all went to visit warehouses and production workshops of pharmaceutical factories to investigate.

Now is wartime. The frontline needs urgent medicines and supplies. Time is very urgent. Even the investigation by the military department cannot delay their work. Otherwise, if there is a shortage of doctors and medicines on the frontline and problems arise, who will be responsible?
No one can be found, and the investigation is obviously in trouble, and it can be predicted that if you really keep people in the office by force, the frontline army will definitely do something big or small for you.

If the investigation goes wrong, the frontline boss of the army may be held accountable.

In a professionally controlled department, interest groups are as solid as iron barrels, and they are all beneficiaries. In fact, things are difficult to do.

"If it was really easy, he would have been removed from power long ago."

In Yasuda Manor, Yasuda Kenichi laughed and joked about this investigation operation. The prelude operation only gave the people of Koizumi Kuhiko in the Military Medical Bureau an illusion, and their minister could cover it up.

Psychological expectations have been elevated, and when they fall, it will be particularly devastating.

Will panic.

Then he looked at his watch and said, "Come on, people should be arriving soon."

Zhou Qinghe just drank tea and waited. Since he wanted to investigate, of course he had planned on resisting the other party. It was not difficult to solve the problem of the medical bureau, as long as he could do one thing and get rid of the tiger.

The theme of today's tea party is to celebrate Koizumi Kuhiko's promotion.

It's not easy to transfer. A military medical lieutenant general, not an army lieutenant general, can be transferred to another place in the army.

There was not even a place for the lieutenant general to be transferred and replaced. Zhou Qinghe spent a lot of time thinking about this. Except that the position of director could accommodate a lieutenant general, only the principal of the military medical school could reluctantly be given the rank of lieutenant general.

But going to school is a demotion. People have devoted their whole lives to the army, and they all deserve credit. If they do well, they are demoted. Why?
So I had to find a good place for him, and Zhou Qinghe was always considerate.

After a while, Konoe Fumima and a middle-aged and elderly man walked in.

"Aren't you late?"

"No, Konoe-kun, Tanoshita-kun, please." Kenichi Yasuda raised his hand to sit down and introduced each other.

A middle-aged and elderly man, the current Minister of Health and Welfare, Katsanobu Tanoshita.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare is in charge of the country's medical care, medicine, and food safety. The Minister of Health and Welfare is also one of the necessary figures in the cabinet. However, in terms of wartime presence, he is not as important as several other external ministers.

But that doesn't mean they don't have power, they can control the entire medical care in Japan.

The next step is the exchange of interests. The Minister of Health and Welfare is seriously ill and urgently needs a successor to handle Ministry of Health and Welfare matters. He applies for leave to the Emperor and recommends the candidate, Koizumi Kuhiko.

From being in charge of the military's medical care to being in charge of the nation's medical care, it was a proper promotion.

The next day, the transfer order was issued to the Medical Bureau, and Koizumi Kuhiko's expression was very exciting.

While the people working in the cabinet were congratulating Koizumi Kuhiko for his promotion, why did he look at Koizumi Kuhiko's expression as something a bit off?
Why is your face so dark? Very stiff.

No, to be promoted to minister, this is indeed a high promotion.

The people who work in the cabinet feel that they cannot understand the world, and they mutter in their hearts that they don't understand.

Zhou Qinghe came out to watch the joke at this time. No, it was congratulations.

"Congratulations to Minister Gao Sheng. Although he is temporarily deputy and has not been promoted to a regular position, isn't this for the purpose of transition and handover?

Just wait a moment and it will be correct. "

Koizumi Jiuyan closed his mouth tightly and looked at Zhou Qinghe with a dark face, as ugly as he could be.

He didn't even expect that Fujita and Qing were so powerful that they could influence the position of a minister.

This is simply impossible!

It feels ridiculous no matter how you think about it.

Before this happened, he was totally willing to be the Minister of Health and Welfare.

Leaving doesn't mean that he can't control it. He belongs to everyone from top to bottom, which means he has the right to speak out about the medical treatment in Japan.

But now, as soon as he leaves, he knows what will happen behind the Military Medical Bureau.

If he is not in the Military Medical Bureau, who can stop Fujita Kazuki?
"Come on, applaud, congratulations to the minister on his promotion." Zhou Qinghe shouted to the staff in the office, and took the lead in applauding with a smile.

Bang bang bang, there really was a fool who laughed and clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the minister on your promotion!"

What does it mean to flatter someone's legs? Koizumi Jiuhiko turned his head and glared at those idiots with a cold look.

Zhou Qinghe was laughed at by those people, but they were not the point. He turned back to Koizumi Kuhiko and said: "Minister, hurry up, the Ministry of Health and Welfare has a lot of affairs. How many people across the country are waiting for the Ministry of Health and Welfare to introduce a new medical system? , hurry up.”

"I need time to finish the matter at hand." Koizumi Jiuhiko stared, his tone was low and full of anger.

Zhou Qinghe raised his eyebrows and raised his hand: "Please do it."

The final struggle is nothing more than a few more words of warning to his subordinates, and a little more to ask them to find ways to destroy some traces that may expose their problems.

Zhou Qinghe doesn't care, it really doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if they are all destroyed.

Isn’t this person still there?
The difference between a sycophant and a loyal minister is that they don't have so much high-sounding skills. They use some means to arrest people and directly interrogate them. Even if they are beaten, you know that I am arrogant and proud, so what can happen?
As long as the outcome is good, who cares about a criminal's defense.

However, Zhou Qinghe is a civilized man and needs to cherish his feathers, so he simply uses a prisoner's dilemma.

There were more than a hundred people from top to bottom. The first one said it was a misdemeanor to pay the money, and the second one was needless to say. See you in the military court. With this move, no more than five of this group of people could survive the prisoner's dilemma. number.

This is human nature.

Koizumi Kuhiko was transferred away, and his biggest backer was gone.

Everyone in the office had to tremble under the power of Section Chief Fujita.

From the very beginning when the arrested person refuted it without corruption, to howling in anger at the top of his lungs, saying that it was a slander of character, to then to all kinds of temptations, and the interrogation in the solitary room for who knows how long, and finally to crying bitterly, saying that it was I didn't stop for a moment.

There is no need to ask any more questions. You are helpless and I don’t even ask you. Being alone in prison is the biggest torture in the Prisoner’s Dilemma.

I don't care. Who knows if the interrogator didn't come to ask if it was because of what others had said that made him no longer important.

Then he shook the iron door and shouted, "I want to see Section Chief Fujita. I have important things to explain."

In two days, Zhou Qinghe's desk was filled with piles of files.

"It's shocking." The director of the Accounting Bureau sighed: "Medicine is the cornerstone of a country and the lifeblood of the army. How can they be greedy for so much?"

Don't talk nonsense. If you were investigated, your accounting director might be more greedy.

But Zhou Qinghe was not interested in him.

The statistics were reported to Hiko Shunroku, and then they went to meet Emperor Hirohito together.

"Severe punishment! Must be severely punished! These rats have embezzled so much of the country's military spending! We can't let these businessmen off either!"

Corruption means taking the country's money, and the country's money is Hirohito's money. Rounding off these people is stealing Hirohito's money.

How angry Hirohito was!
However, Yan Junliu was sensible: "Your Majesty, the army is currently fighting on the front line. If everyone is arrested, it will lead to chaos. I think that for the time being, draw a line and impose severe punishments above a certain amount. The rest will be released first. After the personnel are replaced, slowly Deal with it slowly.”

The approach was quite steady and Hirohito didn't hesitate.

Zhou Qinghe selected the people who could be saved, mainly based on whether they were willing to return to him. They were all veterans, and they would have to rely on them to maintain their jobs in the future.

As for the rest, it's useless to cry and beg for mercy. The number of places is limited and the purge has begun.

The army is not a police station and does not need those evidences and rules. Since you have admitted that there is a problem, then ransack your home and pay.

And the positions they vacated began to be filled with fresh blood.

The military medical school can recruit students, the university can recruit new clerks, and the military police school can also select a few people to come in. These are all direct descendants of Zhou Qinghe in the medical bureau in the future, and they have to be trained from the new ones.

As for the key positions, two people can be promoted from the military medical team in Shanghai to serve at the headquarters.

The turmoil in the Military Medical Bureau started violently and ended quickly. Many people in the Army Ministry were paying attention. By the time the matter settled, they all had to realize how ferocious Fujita Kazuki's methods were.

The lieutenant general doctor who has been working in the Medical Bureau for more than ten years and the medical field for more than thirty years has been wiped out.

The methods are decisive and ruthless!
