Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

May 15, Tokyo, Cabinet meeting room.

The Emperor personally instructed that the Cabinet preside over the trial of Kenji Doihara. The main purpose was to uncover the truth and give an explanation to the Kwantung Army, Army, and Navy. The secondary purpose was to resolve the conflict between Kenji Doihara and Seigen Aoki in one fell swoop and reduce internal friction.

First, there was the investigation report from the investigation team led by Okamura Yasuji, regarding the mysterious death of Kwantung Army Commander-in-Chief Muto Nobuyoshi.

The relevant evidence is conclusive.

Kenji Doihara was unable to explain himself, nor could he clearly explain why he brought a gun into the meeting and why he killed Major Shimizu.

However, Doihara vehemently denied it, refusing to admit that he had plotted to murder Muto.

The incident had a terrible impact and serious consequences. Although it could not be fully confirmed that Kenji Doihara was behind it, given the inexplicable flaws in the process, Kenji Doihara was sentenced to three years in prison.

The next step was a follow-up investigation led by the Navy into the "April 423 Kagoshima bombing incident".

The chain of evidence is presented. Although the evidence is complex and diverse, the most important evidence is related to Kobe Port, which all proves that the mastermind behind the scenes is Doiyuu.

Although no concrete evidence has been found, there are multiple witnesses to confirm that agent Nakamura Heizaburo was one of Kenji Doihara's agents.

In accordance with the usual practice of the Japanese Navy, the principle of presumption of guilt applies. Given the inexplicable flaws in the course of the incident, Kenji Doihara was sentenced to three years in prison.

The Muto family, the Navy, and the Army debated for a long time over the choice of prison.

"Stop arguing, everyone. I suggest sending him to Yilan Prison to serve his sentence. With Duke Fujiwara around, no one will dare to cause trouble," Aoki Seigen proposed.

Others might not dare to act recklessly, but you might want to think twice before you do.

Chen Jiehua received a lot of disdainful looks.

Even Okamura Yasuji's army investigation team failed to discover the missing Taikoo sugar cubes, and Chen Jiehua couldn't deliberately remind them, as doing so would only get him into trouble.

"Fine, if you won't listen to me, I don't mind. I'm going to Senso-ji Temple for a drink."

"The weather is so nice today."

Chen Jiehua left the event midway through.

The plague god is finally gone. With Aoki Seigen around, even the judges dare not speak loudly.

Ultimately, the two sentences were combined, resulting in Kenji Doihara being sentenced to six years in prison and imprisoned in Hokkaido Prison.

"The forces behind him haven't given up on him after all. Putting him in a Hokkaido prison is to prevent me from visiting him. Sigh, what a failure, what a failure."

"Don't try to act innocent after getting the benefit. You're not satisfied with just putting a head of a secret service agency in jail? What more do you want? Do you want to fly to the sky?"

"Alright, I'll take your word for it. It'll barely pass. Cheers, to victory!"

Cheers to victory!

Getting Tu Feiyuan into prison is indeed a cause for celebration that Chen Jiehua should have a good drink to celebrate.

Persistence pays off. Although we didn't kill him, at least for the next few years, the bedbugs won't have the opportunity to openly commit evil deeds in China.

Although Kenji Doihara was imprisoned in Hokkaido, Seigen Aoki continued to complain in private, expressing his disappointment with the Navy and Special Higher Police investigations and the military's cover-up of Doihara. Aoki no longer cared about the restoration of the Yamato's construction base on Kagoshima, nor did he pursue the issue of the sharp decline in revenue for Aoki Pharmacy Co., Ltd. in various locations. Instead, he frequently frequented the Senso-ji area, indulging in a dissolute lifestyle.

Due to a lack of sufficient funding, the Kagoshima base project has been brought to a standstill.

Staying in Tokyo is annoying, so I might as well go to Yilan first to see my wife, and then go back to Shanghai to follow the fleet to see Nanjing and run around the mountain city.

Aoki Seigen stayed in the mountain city for several months, and together with Aotengu Hachi and Aotengu Kyu, they traveled almost all over the main urban area of ​​the mountain city, and purchased some more houses and properties.

Shortly after Doihara was sent to a prison in Hokkaido, a Japanese ronin appeared at Kiyotsu Port and stayed there for three months.

Because Ijuin Seiki's ronin organization frequently returned to Kiyotsu Port for supplies and rest, the port's veterans had become accustomed to the ronin's presence and overlooked this unfamiliar ronin.

Ji Yinfeng spent most of his time at sea, leading his fleet to patrol several fixed transport points, and did not encounter this ronin.

Next, the wanderer crossed the Motianling Mountains and went to Shulan, Harbin, and Beiyinhe.

Major Higashimiya Tetsuo, who was sent back to Tokyo to take the blame for the Liutiaohu Incident, appeared in Tianjin and secretly investigated Aoki Seigen's movements by frequently contacting relevant personnel through the Tianjin Special Service Agency of the Kwantung Army.

Yang Dengying did not know Donggong Tienan. It was perfectly normal for Japanese spies to be active in Tianjin, so he ignored his existence.

In the far north, the Guan Wuhen Independent Regiment, in order to avoid exposing the Shuangyashan base, left Shuangyashan during the summer, sealed off the base, secretly resupplyed at Luojin Port, and then entered MDJ City. They operated along the Mudanjiang, Harbin and Qiqihar line, fighting guerrilla warfare against the Japanese Kwantung Army military police.

In Tianjin and Beiping, Zhu Huiwu and Yang Dengying's two groups operated independently, each quietly expanding their own business empires.

Beifeng Liu Junze returned to Shanghai, integrated Chen Jiehua's secret resources, and collaborated with teacher Wang Xuewen and progressive students at the school to officially develop the Beifeng Group.

Although Zhao Shiyu of Xifeng in Jinling continued to manage the network of Qingmu Pharmacy, he had quietly begun to gradually decouple from it, as required by Chen Jiehua, and started to develop his own Xifeng Group.

However, Qing Teng Liu made a small mistake. Instead of reporting Zhao Shiyu's "embezzlement and misappropriation of the pharmacy's funds" to Qing Mu Qingxuan as Chen Jiehua had expected, she secretly helped Zhao Shiyu cover it up and worked hard to expand her business and earn money to help Mr. Zhao Shiyu cover up his mistakes.

In Changsha and Chongqing, the two members of the Qing Teng Group continued to quietly develop their business, following the instructions of Qingmu Qingxuan.

In Fujian, the elite troops selected by the 19th Route Army have already completed their escape and, led by Cai Xianchu, have quietly moved to Kaohsiung, which is across the sea.

The remaining troops, led by Jiang Guangding, continued to be stationed in Fujian.

Following Chen Jiehua's instructions, Zhou Yongsu of Tianshu cooperated with Chen Lanfeng to support patriotic Chinese in Singapore and the South Pacific islands, conduct business with surrounding forces, accumulate resources, and build up strength.

On October 16, 1933 (Showa 10), at a meeting of the five ministers of the Japanese Cabinet, Navy Minister Mineo Osumi formally presented the views of the Naval General Staff.

Based on the nation's right to survival and the right to equal armament, equal strength is an absolute requirement. In order to have sufficient military equipment to resolutely resist American intervention in the Far East, Japan must abolish the Washington Naval Treaty and the London Naval Treaty.

Japan felt isolated after withdrawing from the League of Nations, but continued down the path of militarism.

The Naval General Staff requested the Cabinet to increase the special allocation for the following year to fund the restoration of the Kagoshima base and the continued construction of the Yamato.

Everything that should have been done has been done, and some things that shouldn't have been done have also been done.

It's time to keep a low profile and focus on steady development.

The Hongluan Strategic Special Agent Team strives to develop its own teams in various fields and regions.

They concealed their capable lie in wait, lying in ambush for a long time, accumulating strength, awaiting their opportunity. (End of Chapter)
