Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

Chapter 161 Uncovering the Army's Deadly Espionage Plot

Guangzhou in June is really hot. The Izumo is an ironclad warship with a lot of iron furniture that absorbs heat, and there is no air conditioning. Chen Jiehua felt like he had shot himself in the foot. "Let the telegram fly for a while longer." Now he was too ashamed to get off the ship.

It's too hot on the deck, and it's too stuffy in the cabin!

Finally, in the afternoon, a telegram arrived from headquarters:
Doihara and Nagatomo have been placed in confinement and are awaiting your return to handle the situation; please make sure to facilitate the arrival of the Guangzhou government's negotiating representatives in Tokyo.

Mommy, finally there's a way to get off the boat! Hurry up and lower the gangway! You have no sense at all, next time I'll transfer you to work as a boiler operator!
Due to the impact of the open-text telegram incident, coupled with the public opinion push from the Nanjing National Government, many patriotic merchants and students have gathered outside the Guangzhou Provisional Government, demanding that the Guangzhou government come forward to explain.

The secret trip turned into a public one. The originally scheduled negotiators either feigned illness, disappeared, or even had their legs broken by their families. All of them had one goal: to avoid going to Japan for negotiations.

In addition, the Guangzhou National Government has urgently redefined its bottom line for negotiations, demanding only that Japan recognize the legitimacy of the Guangzhou National Government, but insisting on maintaining our bottom line.

However, due to illness or fractures among the originally scheduled negotiating representatives, we need to re-select representatives. Please ask General Aoki to wait a few more days.

"So what if I have a fracture? The timing of your fractures is too coincidental." After receiving a satisfactory gift, General Aoki said he could wait a few days.

On June 15, after a protracted negotiation, the Guangzhou National Government finally assembled a new negotiating team. Chen Youren, using the pseudonym Toyama Yusaburo, served as the chief negotiator, while Liu Jiwen, using the pseudonym Hirota Fumiya, and Gan Jiehou, using the pseudonym Nan Jieji, served as assistants.

Under the cover of night, with no one to see them off, the three boarded the ship alone and headed to Tokyo, Japan, for treasonous negotiations.

The Japanese Consulate in Guangzhou stated that the First Repatriation Fleet's arrival in Guangdong was solely for the purpose of repatriating Japanese nationals and had no other objective.

Chen Jiehua was very satisfied with the results of his second attempt to fabricate a plaintext telegram. Although the effects on the Japanese side had not yet been fully realized, the results on the domestic side were sufficient, and his objective had been achieved.

The only thing is that I'm very dissatisfied with the British Concession police station and the Municipal Council in Shanghai. I've hinted at it so obviously, how come you couldn't guess it! You should at least protest to Japan and cause some trouble!
In this respect, Chen Jiehua really miscalculated. The British Concession Police Station extracted the keywords from the telegram immediately, then compiled a report and submitted it to the Municipal Council. The Municipal Council also immediately submitted a diplomatic note to the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, but it was blocked by Shigemitsu Mamoru.

After receiving the diplomatic note from the British Concession Municipal Council, Shigemitsu Mamoru immediately summoned Fujiwara Mio. Mio readily admitted that after returning home from the banquet that night, several drug addicts from the Republic of China era blocked her car and harassed her at her doorstep!

"idiot!"

Needless to say, harassing Miss Mio was the biggest mistake, and he deserved to be killed!

Shigemitsu Mamoru's reply to the British Concession Municipal Council was also very simple: Do you want Aoki-kun's explanation, or do you want Commander Aoki's cannonballs?
Maybe we should just forget about it and not want any of it.

On June 18, news of the arrival of three representatives of the Guangzhou National Government in Tokyo, Japan, was quickly leaked by astute reporters.

Whether one is yellow-skinned and has a yellow heart or yellow-skinned and has a black heart, changing one's name cannot hide it from the Chinese people. Newspaper reports continued to ignite public opinion, and the Guangzhou Nationalist government was unable to cope.

The Nanjing Nationalist Government has won this round to the point of exhaustion.

On June 18, the Japanese Army Ministry and the Kwantung Army continued to urge the "Ishi Yuzo Project" to proceed at the Bansai Residence in North China.

The Doihara organization maintained contact with Yan Xishan in Shanxi, intending to push the North China warlords to join the Southern government and get the Shanxi army to support Shi Yousan's army uprising.

On June 18, Chen Jiehua sent the three yellow-skinned, black-hearted representatives to Tokyo and then left them alone. Killing these three would be an insult to my Dean Chiju Yoshiki.

Chen Jiehua has achieved his strategic objective in this telegram, but the tactical objective still needs to be executed: Nagatomo Tsugio must die this time.

Having been in this world for five years, I cannot guarantee that every step I take is flawless. In fact, there are many gaps. With Nagatomo Tsujiro continuing to pursue me like this, it is difficult to ensure that he will not find a fatal flaw.

The first thing Chen Jiehua did after disembarking was to go to the cabinet and the Ministry of the Army to ask for personnel.

The cabinet ministers were busy developing the economy, dealing with the various movements of the Kwantung Army, and guiding Foreign Minister Kijuro Shidehara in negotiations with the representatives of the Guangzhou Nationalist Government. No one was willing to get involved in Aoki Kyo's affairs. Therefore, Chen Jiehua could only lead a group of naval soldiers who were on board the ship to the Army General Staff Headquarters compound, where he found the solitary confinement cell with ease.

"Open."

"General, please don't make things difficult for me. I'll go report to my superior."

"I'm still a Major General in the Army, so opening the door to a solitary confinement cell at the Army General Staff Headquarters shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Open!"

"General, General..."

"Break through!"

"Bang!" Two strong naval soldiers smashed the door open.

"Close the door, stand guard outside, and don't let anyone in."

"Hi!"

"Section Chief Nagatomo, it's nice to see you again."

"Chen Jiehua, you've fooled us all!"

"Chief Nagatomo, all I want to know is who has been jealous of me and instructed you to find evidence to frame me?"

“Chen Jiehua, I know you brought a knife in. You’re going to die this time. Before I die, I just want to solve one mystery: where did you hide Aoki Seigen’s body?”

"Chief Nagatomo, why are you so stubborn? What benefit do you get from helping the person behind this frame me?"

"I can give you double, and I can even find a way to transfer you to Shanghai during the Republic of China era to command the Shanghai Marine Corps! Just tell me who's behind my downfall!"

"Speak quickly! I don't have much patience!"

The footsteps outside gradually drew closer, but Chen Jiehua could tell they weren't in a hurry because the footsteps were neat, rhythmic, and orderly.

"Chen Jiehua..."

"Chen, what the hell are you doing?! I told you I'm Aoki Seigen! Are you blind?"

Senju Dean Yoshihiro thrust the knife through Nagatomo's second son's chest, then Chen Jiehua turned the knife 90 degrees and whispered in Nagatomo's second son's ear, "I admit I am Chen Jiehua, I know there are listening devices here, and I know your scheme. Unfortunately, you have no chance!"

After saying that, Chen Jiehua covered Nagatomo Tsuji's mouth with his left hand, and Dean Senju quickly pulled out!
