Chapter 468: Aoki Family's Ambition
Fuso, Cabinet Intelligence Bureau.
Director Konoe Takeharu pointed at Aoki Jinjun and shouted: "Aoki! What's wrong with you? How dare you openly oppose the Prime Minister's national policy? And you insisted on having your own way, and lost 7 Imperial aircraft recklessly."
Aoki Jinjun was like a defeated rooster. He instinctively shifted the blame and said, "Sir Konoe! This is all the work of the Navy. In addition, the Chinese Red Cross plane is too abominable. It even brazenly shot down the Imperial Navy's plane."
Konoe Takeharu angrily rebuked: "According to reliable intelligence, the pilots of the Navy Air Force insulted the Prime Minister and the Air Force. The Red Cross planes did not attack them at all, and they refused to listen to repeated persuasion to return. Who can they blame for running out of fuel and crashing?"
Aoki Jinjun was stunned. He didn't expect that Konoe Takeharu knew everything.
However, his actions were also instructed by his superiors. He was not afraid at all and continued to pass the buck: "Sir Konoe! This accident was caused by the director of the film agency deliberately changing the flight route. If the China Morning Post Airlines plane was allowed to fly directly from Chongqing to Shanghai, it would inevitably bring great hidden dangers."
Konoe Takeharu knew his background, so he lowered his voice by an octave and nodded, "His Highness Renko said that the director of the Shadow Agency changed the route this time because there was a typhoon in Hong Kong, and he will not do that again in the future."
Aoki Jinjun admired Bandai Jinzi very much, and said jealously:
"Sir Konoe! Why does His Highness Niko favor the Shadow Agency so much?"
"Captain of the Shadow Agency saved Her Highness Renko's life."
Konoe Takeji said angrily, unwilling to explain further, and changed the subject.
"Mr. Aoki! Tell the director of the film agency immediately that the peace negotiators have arrived in Shanghai. Ask him to leave Chongqing and return to Shanghai via Hong Kong. The Battle of Wuhan will require his film agency to cooperate with the Imperial Army."
Aoki Jinjun asked in confusion: "Sir Konoe! Why didn't you send intelligence agencies such as the Shanghai Special High Section, but instead sent the Shadow Agency to cooperate with the Imperial Army to fight in Wuhan, China?"
Konoe Takeharu rolled his eyes at him and sneered, "Don't you know? The predecessor of the Shadow Agency was the Military Police Supervisory Team and the Kamikaze Supervisory Team, which had outstanding military achievements. Who can compare to them?"
"Understood!"
Aoki Jinjun bowed and nodded, then turned and left.
Konoe Takeharu looked at his back and said bitterly in his heart:
"You're actually hanging out with that old devil Tojo Inki, huh!"
Needless to say, Aoki Jinjun didn't get along with him.
Chongqing, Chuxi Yaju.
Xiang Chu received the telegram from Aoki Jinchun and frowned after reading it.
He handed the message to Song Xi and said with a wry smile, "Sister Xi! Three birds are banned from flying from Chongqing to Shanghai. I was asked to hurry back to Shanghai via Hong Kong and lead the film agency to assist the Japanese troops in the Wuhan battle."
Song Xi took it and looked at it, then nodded and said, "It seems that you are not blamed for shooting down seven Japanese planes. It is a good thing that the Shadow Agency participated in the Battle of Wuhan, but you cannot report the specific flight path."
Xiang Chu smiled mysteriously and said, "No! You must report the itinerary of the Red Cross plane in detail."
Song Xi said worriedly: "Brother! Don't always dance on the edge of a knife, what if..."
"Nothing unexpected!"
Xiang Chu smiled, took her into his arms, and said domineeringly,
"I wonder how many more planes the Japs want to lose."
Song Xi leaned her head on his shoulder and said quietly, "Okay! I will go to Wuhan for the battle, can you go to see me then?"
"Of course!"
Xiang Chu said happily.
Song Xi said happily: "That's good enough. Send a telegram to Sanniao quickly. Also, you can provide him with an unimportant piece of information."
After she finished speaking, she took out a document and handed it to Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu glanced at the document and nodded, "Very good! But I will stay for another day before going to Hong Kong on the pretext of obtaining this intelligence."
After he finished speaking, he immediately sent a telegram: "San Niao! Because of stealing intelligence on the selection of the commander of the China Wuhan Campaign, I will delay my return to Hong Kong until 6 o'clock tomorrow evening.
At the invitation of his uncle, Ito Nozomi, the Consul General in Hong Kong, he needs to discuss matters such as empire resources and intelligence in Hong Kong before returning to Shanghai. Shadow Bird! "
Soon, I received a blunt reply: "Yingniao! I hope you can return to Shanghai as soon as possible and gather the staff of the Ying Agency. Otherwise, how can you participate in the Battle of Wuhan? Three Birds!"
"Three Birds! Received the message, gathering the personnel. Shadow Bird!"
Xiang Chu immediately replied to the telegram and showed it to Song Xi.
Song Xi said thoughtfully: "Brother! I feel that these three birds don't dare to do anything to you."
Xiang Chu said arrogantly: "That's right! I also have a great backer in Fusang country."
Song Xi pulled him to sit on the sofa, handed him a cup of tea and said, "Tell me quickly."
"I should tell you about it. I'll start from the mountain generation."
Xiang Chu nodded happily, hiding the parts of his experience that could not be told, and recounted it in detail.
Fuso Cabinet Intelligence Bureau, Office of the Minister of International Affairs.
After reading the telegram sent by Sato Ishitora, Aoki Jinchun said with a gloomy face:
"Sato-kun! The film director's plane will fly from Chongqing Airport to Hong Kong at 6 o'clock tomorrow night. Contact the 14th Air Force of the Navy to send a plane to intercept it and make sure to shoot it down."
Sato Ishitora smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Aoki! If the head of the Shadow Agency dies, won't the Shadow Agency be disbanded?"
Aoki Jinjun sneered, "This director wants him to die so that he can send my nephew Aoki Iidō to take charge of this extraordinary intelligence agency."
Sato Ishitora asked in confusion, "Excuse me, sir, where is your nephew Aoki Ito now?"
"Captain Aoki of the 106th Division."
Aoki Jinchun said without hesitation, paused, and shook his head.
"My Aoki family once employed the Shadow Agency for several years and made great contributions to the expansion of the empire, so the head of the Shadow Agency can only be controlled by someone from my Aoki family. Fan Tong is currently the best candidate for the head of the Shadow Agency."
Sato Ishitora bowed and said, "I understand! Sato is willing to help the Aoki family achieve their ambitions."
"Yoshi!"
Aoki Jinjun nodded with satisfaction.
Sato Ishitora suggested, "Mr. Aoki! Your student Kagesa Masaaki has arrived at the Shanghai Special High Section. You should ask him to cooperate with you to kill the head of the Kage Agency."
Aoki Jinjun nodded and said, "If the head of the Kage Agency can evade the attack of the Imperial Navy aircraft, he can notify Kagesawa to take action after he arrives in Shanghai."
"Hello!"
Sato Ishitora hurriedly accepted the order.
Gele Mountain, near the cave entrance of Chuxi Yaju.
A brand new "Chu Mansion" sign was nailed on the cave gate.
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Sister Xi! I, Mr. Chu, am also a well-known figure in Chongqing."
Song Xi nodded and said, "Yes! I am the wife of Lord Chu, and I am justified in my title."
At this time, a captain ran over and reported loudly:
"Secretary Song! Mr. Chu! Minister He invites you to attend the seminar in the Political Department's conference room."
Song Xi asked in confusion: "What seminar?"
The captain shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Sister Xi! Let's go, we'll know when we get there."
Xiang Chu smiled, took Song Xi's hand, turned around and walked into the air-raid shelter.
Song Xi apologized, "Brother! I feel so sorry for you. I asked you to come back and serve as Lord Chu, and I have never been able to rest."
Xiang Chu said tacitly: "I know, this is all my sister's good intention. Let me improve my reputation and build good relations with the top leaders, so that no matter what position I hold on the Japanese side, I will never be a traitor."
Song Xi hugged his arms tightly and said quietly, "That's exactly what I think!"
Xiang Chu said with emotion: "Sister Xi! You are the one who understands my heart the most at the mahjong table."
"Stop it!"
Song Xi said coquettishly.
Soon, the two arrived at the Political Department meeting room.
In addition to Minister He, Chen Guo, Dainong, Xu Zeng and others were also present. It was obviously an intelligence seminar.
