Agents of the Republic of China

Because of the return of the three divisions of the Kwantung Army, Yokohama Port, which had been lonely for a long time, also became lively.In the dark night, although there were no lights, the sound of hurried footsteps and the deliberately lowered voices of officers' orders came and went one after another.Ant-like crowds shuttled on the wide pier, coming and going, most of them were army soldiers in dark green and cotton caps.After they landed, they rushed to their respective assembly points and waited for the next order from the officers.

The bombing of the Allied Forces was almost uninterrupted during the day, especially for military and industrial targets near Tokyo, which became the focus of the bombing. In the past month, the number of military and civilian casualties in Tokyo reached an astonishing [-].Therefore, the landing of the Kwantung Army troops was arranged at midnight, and they were spotted by the Allied reconnaissance planes and bombers on the one hand, and became live targets on the ground.

The disembarkation of the troops was arranged in an orderly manner. Due to the shortage of fuel, the military headquarters and the base camp did not send a large number of vehicles to carry the soldiers.The troops of the three divisions totaled 8 people, of which 1 people will stay in the army hospital near Tokyo to recuperate.The rest of the troops will rush to the railway station on foot, and take the train to the garrison camps along the coast in batches.

Takashimasuke stood in the bushes on a hilltop outside the port, holding a telescope in his hand, looking down at the busy crowd in the port.

Although the Huangdao faction controlled the main force of the Kwantung Army and part of the strength of the Southern Army, it was still slightly weaker than the Control faction, which held the power of the land and navy.For so many years, the ruling faction has continued to proliferate, and has penetrated into every corner of the army. Now even the government has no shortage of their personnel.The Huangdao faction wants to regain control of the army again, and wants to launch a bloodless coup and the traditional assassination of "down to overcome" is obviously not feasible.

Fortunately, the upcoming defense of the homeland provides an excellent opportunity for the Huangdao faction.After so many years of war, there are very few elite troops left in Japan. In order to strengthen the defense of the homeland, the Guards Division was ordered to return to Japan a few years ago to cooperate with the only standing divisions such as the Royal Division to defend the homeland. There are far from enough troops to complete the tasks of local operations.But now, the Chinese battlefield is still firmly holding back the 80 Japanese army, and the more than [-] troops of the Southern Army are facing the danger of losing contact with the mainland.Therefore, at this time, the base camp had no choice but to choose the Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast.

This also inspired Takashimasuke.Among the troops returning home this time are a group of elite troops that the Emperor's Dao faction has carefully cultivated over the years.However, the base camp itself is quite afraid of the Kwantung Army's self-contained structure, so the inspection of the troops and personnel returning to the mainland is very strict.However, Takashimasuke has already thought of a way to deal with it.

Holding binoculars in his hand, Takashima watched several huge troop carriers approaching the pier without blinking. After a while, the soldiers on board began to disembark slowly. These were the wounded soldiers transported back by the Kwantung Army this time.Most of them were bandaged and, unlike the other soldiers, were unarmed.

A subordinate came out from the shadows and whispered something beside Takashimasuke, Takashimasuke nodded.The subordinates turned around and ran away, and after a while, they hurried over with a person.

Takashimasuke handed over the binoculars to his subordinates, and walked towards the visitor with a haha ​​smile. When they met, they warmly hugged each other, "Feng Jun, long time no see!"

Feng Yunxiu accepted this somewhat abrupt etiquette in the eyes of Asians, "Takashima-kun, are you okay!"

Takashimasuke firmly held Feng Yunxiu's hands, "Feng Jun, when will the things we need arrive at the shore?"

"Two hours later, there will be a private pier thirty kilometers south of Yokohama Port. Takashima-kun can send someone to take over!"

Takashimasuke was overjoyed, "So fast?!"

Feng Yunxiu smiled, "How could we be negligent about what Takashima-kun told us? Besides, we have worked with Takashima-kun for so long and made so much money, and Boss Lin has repeatedly told me that we must do our best to do everything Takashima-kun ordered. Do your best, don't shirk!"

Takashimasuke was a little moved, "Mr. Lin and Feng Jun are our most trustworthy friends. I always believe in this point!"

Feng Yunxiu put away his smile, "However, there is one thing I want to make clear. This is also what the boss meant. After all, we are businessmen, and we do these things entirely for your face, Mr. Takashima, but these things start from the moment the goods are handed over. Come on, it has nothing to do with us!"

Takashimasuke sighed, "Of course I understand Mr. Lin's difficulties. How is it? Is Mr. Lin okay?"

"What else can I do?" Feng Yunxiu couldn't help but smiled wryly, "I have been under house arrest in Hakone for more than half a year, and it is very difficult for me to meet him. Even these words were delivered by the guards paid off with a lot of money."

Takashimasuke patted Feng Yunxiu on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Mr. Lin is my friend, and I will definitely help him. As long as the next thing goes smoothly, it is only a matter of time before Mr. Lin regains his freedom."

Feng Yunxiu's face straightened, "Mr. Takashima, I have one more word. I know what you have done this time. As a friend and the closest partner, I think you have an obligation to tell me the truth. Because we After all, you are a grasshopper tied to a thread, if you have something to do, I am afraid we will not have any good results. You know, I will be responsible to the boss and the company for these things!"

Takashimasuke chuckled, "Feng Jun, please don't worry, we have been planning this matter for a long time, and we are absolutely sure of winning. The batch of arms delivered by your company is for our army. Those guys are staring at us too closely. I have no choice but to turn to you. As long as these arms are in hand, our plan will be more than half successful. Please forgive me for not revealing the specific actions, but please rest assured, Mr. Lin, We will definitely proceed with caution, and the future of Japan will definitely be ours!"

Feng Yunxiu frowned and looked at Takashimasuke, with a hint of worry in his eyes, but he forced a smile, and shook hands with Takashimasuke heavily.

After talking about the business, the atmosphere finally became a little more relaxed.Gao Daosuke and Feng Yunxiu each lit a cigarette and walked towards the woods. Their subordinates followed them more than 20 meters away.

Feng Yunxiu still had a sad expression on his face, "Mr. Takashima, you are a soldier, so you must know more about some things than we do."

Takashimasuke said with a smile: "Feng Jun, please speak up if you have anything to say, I will know everything!"

"The current situation is so chaotic that even the boss has no idea. The emperor has already stated that the final battle will be fought on the mainland. The army and civilians of the entire Japanese island have been mobilized. To tell you the truth, even the headquarters of the company In that neighborhood in Osaka, whether old people or children or women, they were organized into some kind of support team, and fortifications were built in the streets."

Feng Yunxiu hesitated, "You know, we are just businessmen, and the situation is so tense, we can't do business. You and I are old friends, and I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Just in case, I mean in case , if the imperial army is really defeated, we have no way to go back to the country anyway, but now your country is in such a mess, once there is a real fight, where can we escape?"

Takashimasuke spit out a smoke ring, looked at Feng Yunxiu, the smile on his face increased instead of diminishing, "Okay Feng Jun, let me tell you the truth, the current situation of the empire is just a cover, the key is to use war to force peace , It’s not surprising that you can’t see clearly, but I’m a soldier, so I can always see some tricks in these things.”

Takashimasuke explained to Feng Yunxiu in detail with his fingers, "Actually, you can do the math. At present, the empire's more than 100 million elite troops are being dragged on the battlefields of China, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific. The total strength of the local army has reached An unprecedented three million."

"What?" Feng Yunxiu took a breath of exaggeration, "There are so many more!"

Takashima laughed suddenly, "Don't be so shocked, let me do the math for you carefully. Of the 300 million people, nearly 250 million of them are retired veterans, students, women, and prison inmates. You can see the combat power and equipment with your own eyes. What you use is just some bird guns and outdated iron cannons. Most of them use bamboo guns, homemade grenades, and incendiary bombs. It's a joke to say that flesh and blood blocked the Allied planes and cannons."

"And the remaining 50 troops are the real soldiers, but compared with the standing army at the beginning of the war, their combat effectiveness is not the same. Let alone equipment, now there is a shortage of oil, steel and rubber. , Food shortage, how to fight with 50 troops, especially how to fight for a long time.”

When he said this, Takashimasuke's smile gradually disappeared, and his tone became heavy, "The most important point is that Japan is an island country, and the Allied forces can carry out landing operations from any beach, and we will be exhausted to defend and take care of it." Go to every possible landing position. In the north, the Russian navy can press on the front line of Hokkaido at any time. The Honshu and Kanto areas have to deal with the bombing and landing of the Americans. You also know the situation in Kyushu. To defend the entire country and suppress the rebellion, how do we fight this battle!"

Feng Yunxiu smacked his lips and swallowed hard, "You mean, the imperial army is doomed?"

Seeing Feng Yunxiu's increasingly ugly face, Takashimasuke hurriedly comforted him: "The situation is far from the worst. The nationwide mobilization is largely a gesture. The specific development of the situation is still unknown. Feng Jun He and Mr. Lin might as well be patient and wait and see what happens!"
