Chapter 1072 Extraordinary Means Must Be Used
Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Japanese invaders always had a gambler's mentality when invading China.
Doihara Kan'ei was a born gambler and was even more keen on this.
Zhang Fei wished for his demise, and bowed hastily, saying, "Ha!"
He hurried back and gathered all the Japanese soldiers.
Doihara Kan'er felt reluctant to leave this important and rich place at the junction of three provinces.
"Oh! This is a great place to make a fortune. Should I really leave?"
While he was hesitating, Zhang Fei had already gathered his troops.
Doihara Kan'er had no intention of turning back, and resolutely stepped forward and announced loudly:
"Warriors of the Empire! I will lead you westward along the Yellow River, through Shandong, Henan, Shanxi to Shaanxi, and destroy the Eighth Route Army's lair."
The Japanese soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. They were so far away from him, yet he actually wanted to launch a sneak attack. This was even more outrageous than trying to cover one's ears and steal a bell.
The commander of the Akita regiment questioned: "Your Excellency, the division commander! If our troops are discovered by the Chinese army, we will die without a burial place."
Doihara Kenji has been in a good mood lately, and he smiled slyly and said, "Captain Akita! Our troops will pretend to be the Chinese Eighth Route Army, and we won't be discovered."
Captain Akita smiled bitterly and said, "The Chinese Eighth Route Army has strict discipline. The imperial army likes to burn, kill and loot, and they can't do that."
To maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, Doihara Xian'er patiently said, "I have been lurking in the Langya Detachment for many years and know the Eighth Route Army's situation very well. As long as you follow my command, you will definitely be able to find the Eighth Route Army's lair."
Captain Yoshida shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander! Going deep into the enemy's territory alone is a taboo in military strategy. It will lead to failure."
Doihara Kan'er was refuted by the two squadron leaders, and took off his hypocritical mask and roared angrily:
"Bagayalu! You two are fired."
The commander of the regiment, Akita, said unconvincedly: "Division Commander! You dismissed Yoshida and I. There is no one in the army who can take on this important task."
Doihara Kan'er decided to appoint people based on personal connections, and shouted, "Who is from Okayama Prefecture and has the last name Doihara?"
A Japanese sergeant raised his hand and shouted, "Your Excellency the Division Commander! I am Doihara Yamaro from Okayama Prefecture."
Another Japanese lieutenant raised his hand and responded loudly: "Your Excellency the Division Commander! I am Doihara Mizuro from Okayama Prefecture."
Doihara Kenji was overjoyed and announced in public: "Doihara Yamaro! You will take over the Akita regiment. Doihara Mizuro! You will take over the Yoshida regiment."
"Ha! Thank you for your cultivation, fellow countryman."
Doihara Yamaro and Doihara Mizuro accepted the order excitedly.
The Japanese captains Akita and Yoshida looked at each other, and suddenly both pulled out their pistols and pointed them at Doihara Kenji.
Doihara Kenji was so frightened that his face turned pale and he raised his hands.
"Da-da! Da-da-da!"
Zhang Fei picked up the Type 99 light machine gun and attacked in time, shooting Captain Akita and Captain Yoshida into pieces.
Doihara Ken'er clapped his hands and cheered: "Yoshi! Good job, attendant."
Zhang Fei hated the two Japanese regiment commanders for their evil deeds against the Chinese people, so he took advantage of the situation and attacked them brazenly, saying in a decisive tone: "General! Doihara Zhang Fei will die for your safety."
Doihara Kan'er said with emotion: "Yoshi! You are my most intimate friend."
At this time, some of Captains Yoshida and Akita's confidants showed anger.
Zhang Fei said anxiously: "General! Let's leave here quickly."
Doihara Xian'er ordered loudly: "Shanlang Regiment! All of you change into the uniforms of the Chinese Eighth Route Army. Shuilang Regiment! All of you change into the uniforms of the Chinese National Army."
"Hello!"
Doihara Yamaro and Doihara Mizuro hurriedly accepted the order.
Doihara Xianer said happily: "Yoshi! They are all the brave warriors of the Doihara family."
Zhang Fei, with the idea of disrupting and breaking up this Japanese army, instigated: "General! In order to make this army your absolute legitimate army, you must learn from 'Little Moustache' to eliminate dissidents."
Doihara Kenji said arrogantly: "This general should indeed learn from Hitler, eliminate dissidents, first sweep the Eighth Route Army's lair, then fight to Chongqing and conquer China. Strangle the dog!"
After he finished speaking, he jumped on his horse, waved his hand, and galloped westward.
Chu Lu Living Room, Lamma Island, Hong Kong Island.
Liu Zhengxiong ran into the living room, handed an invitation to Xiang Chu, and said with a wry smile:
"Chief! Yuan Mingyong sent an invitation to the dock, asking you to help him organize the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association tomorrow morning and discuss the promotion of the 'Money Work Plan'."
Xiang Chu took the invitation and said with a sneer, "This guy actually treated Hong Kong Island as an occupied area and dared to promote the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Belt here. Isn't it obvious that he is looking for trouble?"
Wang Manxue shook her head and said, "Nanfeng's father! He must want you to take responsibility and put the blame on you."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "This is his true thought!"
Yu Xiaowan suggested: "Brother Chu! Use the arrogant and unreasonable aura of the Japanese general and the leader of the mountain generation to intimidate him."
Xiang Chu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I was ordered by the Japanese Cabinet Intelligence Bureau to help Yuan Mingyong complete this task. The Japanese will definitely go south and attack Hong Kong Island next. For the sake of your business and ours, I have to participate in his actions."
At this moment, the phone in the living room rang.
Xiang Chu stepped forward to answer the phone, and Yuan Mingyong's sarcastic voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Captain of the Shadow Bureau! Did you receive the invitation?"
Xiang Chu said tacitly: "Got it! But this is the English territory, not the Empire occupied area. It's not good for you to promote the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Belt."
Yuan Mingyong said with a smile: "We are just gathering famous Fuso-Chinese people in Hong Kong to hold a simple social gathering. The Hong Kong authorities will not care."
Xiang Chu said coldly: "Then you can organize it yourself, why do you need to bring the head of this agency with you?"
Yuan Mingyong said with a wry smile: "The Cabinet Intelligence Department asked you to assist my original agency and promote the 'Tong Work Plan' and the 'Qian Work Plan'. This association is also part of the work."
Xiang Chu said helplessly: "Okay! I will participate then."
Yuan Mingyong said with a smile: "Director of the Film Bureau! You not only need to participate, but also organize. I will be responsible for gathering the Japanese celebrities in Hong Kong Island, and you will be responsible for gathering the Chinese celebrities in Hong Kong Island."
Xiang Chu was very pleased when he heard this, and said happily: "Okay! Then give me the list of Chinese celebrities in Hong Kong Island, and I will send people to call them door to door."
"this......"
Yuan Mingyong couldn't help but hesitate.
This was also secret information, how could he hand it over to Xiang Chu?
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Since you don't want to disclose it, you should send someone to inform them."
Yuan Mingyong shot himself in the foot and found an excuse: "It is indeed necessary for the head of this agency to notify us that extraordinary measures must be taken to force those Chinese celebrities to attend the association."
Xiang Chu smiled and asked: "What kind of extraordinary means? Do you want to kidnap them?"
Yuan Mingyong sneered and said, "This is a secret, and the head of this agency cannot disclose it casually."
Xiang Chu sneered and said, "Boring!"
After saying this, he pretended to be angry and hung up the phone.
Liu Zhengxiong suggested: "Director! Should we inform our celebrities in Hong Kong not to go to the Japanese consulate in Hong Kong and participate in the Greater East Asia Friendship Association organized by Yuan Mingyong?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Notifying Yuan Mingyong now is equivalent to telling him that I also have the list. Moreover, he will think that it was me who killed Dongxiang Lululang."
Liu Zhengxiong said anxiously: "What should we do? If our celebrities in Hong Kong go to the meeting tomorrow, it will definitely be dangerous."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! I will go there tomorrow and will definitely find ways to protect the celebrities of our country in Hong Kong."
