Chapter 661: A new chapter in the Northeast Anti-Japanese War!
Beiping, Shuncheng County Prince's Mansion.
On this day of the 16th, Zhang Hanqing, who had just announced his resignation from the position of director of the Peking Pacification Office, received news of the Japanese attack on Jilin as soon as he returned to the mansion.
Immediately, major newspapers published the latest battle situation from the Northeast, and tens of thousands of elite Japanese troops raided Jilin in the early morning of the 16th!
The Chinese defenders in Jilin City fought fiercely, and the two sides fought fiercely, and the people suffered countless losses in their houses and property...
This atrocities of the Japanese army instantly ignited the anti-Japanese sentiment of the Chinese people. The Japanese consulate in Dongjiaomin Lane had already been smashed by the angry Chinese people.
The Japanese consul in Peking, Doihara and others dared not live in the consulate, and moved into the Japanese military camp in Peking and accepted the protection of the garrison!
Subsequently, students from former Northeastern University and students from various universities in Peking petitioned the newly established Military Commission’s Peking Branch, demanding that the Northeast Army and the National Government go north to conquer the lost territory!
The angry student questioned He Jingzhi, the vice chairman of the Peking Military Branch, why did the Northeast Army and the National Government not seize this favorable fighter opportunity and sent troops north to recover lost territory when the Japanese army suffered consecutive defeats?
Some people even revealed that when He Jingzhi came to Peking for office, he did not go to see Zhang Hanqing, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, but instead quietly met the Japanese and took out a photo of He Jingzhi meeting in a high-end cafe with a Japanese dress that looked like Kenji Doihara...
This photo was released, which instantly ignited the anger of the students and the Chinese. They entered the Beiping Military Branch. He Jingzhi was so scared that he quickly took a car to escape from the back door!
The angry student could not find anyone, and in anger, smashed the Beiping Military Branch and set a fire.
The military and police then felt that hundreds of students were arrested and imprisoned...
This incident was later called the "Why? Secret Meeting" incident. Some people even wrote the content of the secret meeting and conversation between the two in a serious way into an article and published it in the newspaper. For a time, the news that senior officials of the National Government colluded with Japan and wanted to sell off their national sovereignty spread throughout North China and quickly spread southward!
"Check it out, check it out, and you must find out the person who framed me. If I don't break him into pieces, I won't call him He Jingzhi!" He Jingzhi yelled angrily at Chen Gongpeng, the head of the Peking Opera of Fuxing Society, while smearing his black left cheek.
"Minister He, have you really been to this cafe?" Chen Gongpeng asked carefully. In terms of position, he was a thousand miles apart from He Jingzhi. He was the right-hand man of the principal during the Northern Expedition. Now he has become the vice chairman of the Peking Military Branch and a member of the Special Affairs Committee of the Central Political Conference. He has great power and has the rank of general. Although he is the head of the Fuxing Society in Peking, his military rank has just been promoted to the lieutenant colonel. The gap is too big!
"Nonsense!" He Jingzhi grinned.
Chen Gongpeng nodded and said, "The photos are taken very professionally, not something that ordinary people can do, and the angles are also very good. Member He, Beizhi suspects that you may have been framed!"
"Framed, who framed me?" He Jingzhi asked angrily.
"Messenger He, think about it, who knows where you are from Peking?" Chen Gongpeng asked.
"This is my escort, and the Peking side, my whereabouts are not a secret. Many people know that I am coming to Peking?" He Jingzhi replied.
"Commissioner He, what I asked is, how many people know about you when you go to this Pheles Cafe?" Chen Gongpeng asked, pointing to the address name in the newspaper.
"This is my secretary, and..." He Jingzhi stammered.
"Commissioner He. Who else can you tell us?"
"This person has nothing to do with this matter. I can guarantee it!" He Jingzhi said very affirmatively.
"Then your secretary?"
"My secretary has followed me for many years and will never..."
"Then Commissioner He, how do you ask us to investigate?" Chen Gongpeng smiled helplessly.
"How to investigate is your business. I just need the result. If this matter is spread, the consequences will be unimaginable, so you must find out the truth for me immediately and restore my innocence." He Jingzhi said.
Dongjiaomin Lane, Japanese military camp.
"General, aren't we going to win over Mr. He Jingzhi?"
"Kohashi, although He Jingzhi once studied in my great Japanese Empire and has many friends in our Japan, he is still a Chinese man and has a high position. If you want to use it for me, you need some special means. Do you understand?" Kenji Doihara said.
"General, my subordinates still don't understand. Wouldn't this make Mr. He even more eager to separate his relationship with me?"
"Yes, this is the effect I want!" Kenji Doihara said, "The clearer He Jingzhi is in contact with us, the easier it is to become a person to help us!"
"The general's intention is too profound, and Xiaoqiao cannot understand it!"
"Go and send a statement, saying that I met Mr. He Jingzhi at that cafe. I didn't make an appointment with Mr. He in advance, and I didn't have any conversation. I just nodded and said hello. In addition, we were not sitting at the same table." Kenji Doihara ordered.
"Hayi!"
"He Jingzhi caused such a big trouble when he came to Peking. Send someone to investigate immediately and make sure to make the whole thing come to light." Zhang Hanqing rubbed his temples and ordered Yu Jinhe, director of the Peking Public Security Bureau.
"Yes!" Yu Jin and his mouth agreed, but sweat kept flowing down their foreheads.
“Is there any clue?”
"No, no..."
"Go down!" Zhang Hanqing looked at his sweaty face, his hat was crooked, his collar was opened, and he didn't know where the buttons fell. There was a hole on his face, as if he was scratched by something.
"Yes, yes..." Yu Jin and Ru Ruwen turned around quickly and hurriedly ran out.
"It's really not enough to succeed, but it's enough to fail!" Zhang Hanqing cursed angrily. The head of the Public Security Bureau of Peking City actually made the student scratch his face, and he almost broke his face. Isn't this a sign of incompetence?
He doesn't expect such a person to solve the case, especially when he was the director of Qingdao Public Security Bureau, he still had a lot of connections with the Japanese. He asked him to investigate and handle the case. I don't know how much trouble it will cause.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, should you ask Director Li's people to investigate secretly? I think this matter is very strange?" Tan Hai suggested.
"Genius?" Zhang Hanqing glanced at his own chief supervisor and was a little hesitant. Although his think tank and intelligence chief supervisor were still very competent and dedicated, he was too close to the north. But if he left him, it would be difficult to know the accurate situation there. At the beginning, he decided to keep him in close contact with the north and even wanted to conquer the other party for his own use. But now it seems that it was not conquering, but being conquered, which made him feel a little uncomfortable!
In addition, Li Tiancai was once a person in that field. Although he has declared his separation now, he always gives his friends and comrades some help in many cases. After all, if a person doesn’t even recognize his former friends, then this person is too cold-hearted. He dares to use such a person and can he reuse it?
Zhang Hanqing valued friendship, and Li Genius did help him a lot, work diligently, rarely make mistakes, and he was very effective in doing things. The suggestions he put forward helped him solve many difficult problems.
Such a capable and without making mistakes, if not...
"Report, Director Li of the Political Department asked to see the Deputy Commander-in-Chief!" The adjutant knocked on the door and walked in, reporting.
It was really said that Cao Cao, Cao Cao was here. Zhang Hanqing pondered for a moment and said, "Please come in."
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, I'm going to work hard."
"Go!" Zhang Hanqing nodded at Tan Hai.
Li Genius walked into the Xihua Hall with a specific step and saw Zhang Hanqing sitting on the sofa. He hurriedly stood attentively and saluted: "I am not good at Li Genius, please see the Deputy Commander-in-Chief!"
"Genius, you don't have to be so polite between you and me. If you have any questions, just say it?" Zhang Hanqing said casually, "Sit."
"Thank you, Deputy Commander-in-Chief!" Li Tiancai walked to the sofa, sat down slowly, and only sat half his butt. He leaned forward and said, "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Minister He was targeted as soon as he arrived in Peking. It seems that the Japanese are very anxious now."
"You mean, the Japanese did the photo?" Zhang Hanqing asked incredibly surprised.
"The humble guess is that no one except the Japanese would do such a thing?" Li Tiancai analyzed, "First of all, it is Minister He's whereabouts, which is extremely confidential. Minister He did not notify us this time when he went out, so even we didn't know why others knew?"
"Maybe it's just a coincidence?"
"The coincidences in the world are often man-made. I checked it. Kenji Doihara went to that high-end cafe that day. This cafe directly accommodates some high-ranking officials, nobles and wealthy people. Most people have no ability to spend there at all, and the location needs to be made." Li Tiancai said, "So, the security measures of this cafe are also very strict and will not easily disclose the customers' **. I think this is probably the reason why Minister He chose to date someone there."
"It's normal for him to see Kenji Doihara in such a secret place?" Zhang Hanqing was unhappy about Nanjing forcing him to defy his ambitions. He Jingzhi took his place, and he was even more unhappy. When this happened at this time, he still felt inexplicable pleasure in his heart. He Jingzhi was so stinking that he had just arrived. Does he still have the face to stay in Peking?
"First, we don't know whether Minister He made an appointment with Kenji Doihara or Minister He made an appointment with Kenji Doihara. Secondly, how the person who took the photo went in. As far as I know, reporters strictly prohibited from entering that cafe. Even if they can enter, they must temporarily hand over the camera for storage, because there are too many high-ranking officials and nobles here. If there are too many secrets that should not be leaked, the cafe itself will be in trouble. Therefore, if there is no special person to help, it will be difficult for the camera to be brought in, let alone take photos." Li Tiancai said.
"According to your analysis, is this a premeditated thing?" Although Zhang Hanqing didn't believe it, he had already believed in Li Genius's inference in his heart. No matter what happened, it was impossible for many coincidences to meet, there must be human factors here.
"It must be man-made. The purpose is probably to make Minister He so that he can't get out of Taiwan. In other words, some people hope Minister He will go back in shame!" Li Tiancai said.
"What does it mean?" Zhang Hanqing was shocked. If He Jingzhi was mobilized, would he, the director of the Peking Pacification Office, who had just stepped down, have a chance...
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, someone is secretly causing trouble. The intention is very obvious, which is to make you and Minister He have a rift and conflict!" Li Tiancai Shi Potian said shockedly.
"Is it Japanese?"
"On the surface, the Japanese were also victims this time. After all, it would be no benefit for them to expose this incident. However, Bei Zhi felt that the Japanese were the most suspicious, and I suspect that this incident was carefully planned by Kenji Doihara." Li Tiancai said solemnly.
"Why did Kenji Doihara do this? Not only did this not do anything good for him, it may also offend He Jingzhi. He Jingzhi studied in Japan and he has deep feelings for Japan." Zhang Hanqing said.
"I guess the purpose of Doihara Kenji's move is probably to disrupt the political situation in Peking and make us carelessly about the Northeast." Li Tiancai said.
"What does it mean? Is there something big happening in the Northeast?"
"Not yet, but it's soon!" Li Tiancai said slowly. He took a lot of risk when he came to see Zhang Hanqing. If this was not done, he would not come to see Zhang Hanqing for the time being.
"Genius, have you hidden something from me?" Zhang Hanqing asked with a frown.
"The matter has not ended yet, and the genius dare not make any guesses!" Li Tiancai said slowly. He was thinking about how to use this matter to minimize his damage and not affect Zhang Hanqing's trust in him.
"What the hesitant thing is that you are not as good as your usual style!" Zhang Hanqing rebuked dissatisfied.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, this is my guess. What you said is wrong. Don't blame me!" Li Tiancai said.
"Don't worry, if you guess, then there is right or wrong. How could I blame you?" Zhang Hanqing said.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the sneak attack on Harbin was actually the Dongzong who was in the middle of contact and command. Now the Dongzong has entered Harbin. Li Du, Su Bingwen, Feng Zhanhai, Li Haiqing and others are preparing to convene a military meeting to unify the military and political orders of Heilongjiang. In addition, the Japanese army sneak attacked Jilin City this morning. In fact, the Dongzong was prepared. Although the Japanese army now occupied more than half of Jilin's urban area, they were actually still in the calculations of the Dongzong. The reinforcements of the Dongzong had set off from Meihekou two days ago, but the Japanese didn't know it. There were also the Japanese who tried to recruit the eighteen strands of Panshi to block the reinforcements of the Dongzong. However, according to the Beizheng's understanding of the Dongzong's methods, the eighteen strands of Panshi had already fallen into his hands. This time, the Japanese probably lost their wives and their troops!" Li Tiancai said slowly.
"What?" Zhang Hanqing widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide after hearing this, and couldn't help but take a breath.
