This has made society inconsistent with the cause of Tang Shaochuan's death, and the truth is difficult to distinguish. The Japanese are also mute and cannot explain the suffering.

Kentaro Miyazaki once congratulated Sanbenshiro on this matter, but was scolded by Sanbenshiro to death.

...

On this day, Cheng Qianfan brought a gift to visit Imamura Hitaro.

The two of them chatted with tea, and he mentioned this.

"Myong-kun should really scold you." Imamura Hitotaro said with a smile, "Tang Shaochuan died in Chongqing, and it was impossible for us to take action."

"Students are stupid." Cheng Qianfan showed a look of shame.

"It's not your fault, this matter involves the empire's strategic secrets." Imamura Hitotaro took a sip of tea, "Three months ago, the five cabinet ministers discussed China's policy at the meeting."

Seeing Kentaro Miyazaki showing a cautious expression, he smiled, "Although this matter is confidential, it was a meeting three months ago. Many people in the empire know that you are my student, so it's okay to talk to you."

Cheng Qianfan showed a gratitude and admiration.

"At this meeting of the five ministers, the empire decided to establish a 'Special Committee on China', to serve as the executive body specifically responsible for major strategies toward China and the establishment of a new central government in China." said Hitaro Imamura.

"The committee is mainly composed of Lieutenant General Toehari-Harbin of the Army, Lieutenant General Tsuda Shigei, and Lieutenant General Saka Nishihachi, recommended by the Army. Your Excellency Toehari-Harbin is very familiar with China, so he is the main person in charge."

...

Cheng Qianfan listened to Imamura Hitaro's lecture respectfully and quietly.

This is the purpose and gain of his approach to Imamura Hitaro and successfully apprenticed to Imamura Hitaro.

It is true that the secrets mentioned by Imamura Hitaro may not be secrets within the middle and high-level Japanese leadership, but for him, or for the Yanzhou headquarters and the Chongqing headquarters, they are very important and valuable information.

Cheng Qianfan believed that whether it was Chongqing or Yanzhou, there must be other sources of intelligence within the Japanese army. However, the information he obtained here was still extremely important, and at least one more channel for intelligence verification.

"The committee has a code name." Imamura Hitotaro took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, continuing, "called 'Shopin'."

"Bamboo Mechanism? A strange name." Cheng Qianfan said.

Imamura Hitaro smiled slightly, and did not explain too much about the name.

Cheng Qianfan lamented in his heart that bamboo is one of the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. The country is weak and bullied, even culture and artifacts will be humiliated.

Plum orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum?

Cheng Qianfan's heart moved and pressed not to express it.

...

"After the establishment of the 'Shop Agency', Lord Tohiyuan began to look for several figures with both prestige and political influence in China to cooperate with China." Imamura Hitaro said slowly, "Tang Shaochuan is one of them."

As he said that, he sneered, "What a pity, Tang Shaochuan died before the matter was agreed, and Your Excellency Tu Feiyuan's plan was failed."

Cheng Qianfan did not respond. He keenly captured that the Japanese people did not have the same views on the failure of the Doi-Hiyuan Agency. At least Imamura Hitotaro seemed to be gloating.

As for the reason, he was not clear about it for the time being, and he secretly wrote it down in his heart. He needed to think more and pay attention to it from now on.

Intuition told him that there must be something strange about it.

"Kun Kiyomizu has something to see you, so go and see him." Before leaving, Hitotaro Imamura suddenly said.

"But Secretary Qingshui of the Consulate General?" Cheng Qianfan showed surprise and then asked, "I have no contact with Secretary Qingshui before..."

"I don't know why he called you, so you can see you." Imamura Hitotaro said, "If there is something difficult, just come to me and I will make the decision with you."

"The teacher cares, and the students are heartfelt." Cheng Qianfan said gratefully, with an extremely sincere smile on his face. "With the teacher here, the students feel the warmth of their fathers."

"Hahaha." Imamura Hitotaro nodded slightly, extremely satisfied with Kentaro Miyazaki's attitude.

...

It rained again.

Cheng Qianfan fell down the car window and waved his hand.

Two security vehicles in front and behind also stopped, and some subordinates rushed over in the rain.

"Brother Fan."

"Go and buy a newspaper." Cheng Qianfan said.

"yes!"

The subordinate was about to run away when an umbrella was handed over, but Bai Ruolan said, "It's raining too much, hold the umbrella."

"Thank you sister-in-law." The subordinate took the umbrella gratefully.

After a while, the newspaper was bought.

"Drive." Cheng Qianfan said lightly.

Haozi in the driver's seat agreed and slowly started the vehicle.

The two guard cars in front and behind also walked forward step by step.

"The great Japanese locust army entered Hankou, and Wuhan citizens welcomed the royal army together!"

Cheng Qianfan glanced at the newspaper's title and sneered.

The common people who "welcome" the Japanese army in the photo were frightened and uneasy, and a few of them smiled flatteringly, obviously pro-Japanese elements and traitors.

ridiculous!

sad!

He was also extremely irritated.

Just the morning before yesterday, the Sano Detachment of the 6th Japanese Division, with the firepower of the aircraft and cannons, launched a fierce attack on Daijiashan, the outskirts of Hankou City.

At 6 p.m., the Japanese army forcibly crossed the river and captured Daijiashan.

All of them entered Hankou City the next day.

The Wuhan Battle lasted four and a half months.
