Chapter 156: Taking Chestnuts from the Fire
Fujiwara Shizuka from the Special Higher Police? Nishio Toshiteru looked at Kenji Doi with suspicion, as if asking him if Fujiwara Shizuka was here to see him.
Kenji Doiyuan shook his head slowly. Obviously, he didn't know why Fujiwara Shizuka came here at this time.
"Invite her in."
"Hi."
After a while, the office door was opened again, and Fujiwara Shizuka walked in slowly, saluting Nishio Toshizo and Doi Madoka Kenji respectively...
Nishio Toshiteru asked in a gentle voice, "Miss Shizuka, you are here for General Doi-Yuan, right?"
"Yes, Mrs. Yamamoto was busy accompanying General Kagesawa to the Northeast to investigate the leak of confidential information, and did not receive the call from General Doi-mado."
"She was afraid that General Tu Feiyuan might have some misunderstandings about her, so she asked me to convey some of her opinions."
"She wants to suggest to General Dofeiyuan that he let Shen Shuyi come to the Shanghai Special High Section."
"Let Shen Shuyi come to the Shanghai Special High Section?" Doiyuan Kenji was a little confused about Li Xianshu's plan.
Fujiwara Shizuka took out a letter from her bosom and said, "This is what Mrs. Yamamoto asked me to give you. She said that you should understand what she meant after reading it. My mission has been completed. Commander, General Doi-maru, I am leaving first."
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Shizuka." Kenji Doitake took the envelope and said politely.
After Fujiwara Shizuka left, Nishio Toshizo and Doi Madoka Kenji looked at each other, and Doi Madoka Kenji slowly opened the envelope.
Inside the envelope was a piece of paper with only four large characters on it: "Getting chestnuts out of the fire."
Kenji Doiyuan was shocked and instantly understood Li Xianshu's intention. He couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "Mrs. Yamamoto is indeed worthy of her reputation."
"awesome."
Nishio Toshizo asked in confusion: "I understand what Mrs. Yamamoto means, but what does this have to do with Shen Shuyi? Why did you send him to the Special Higher Section?"
Kenji Doi-maru smiled faintly and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked Nishio Toshiteru: "Nishio-kun, let me ask you, if the other party's goal is indeed to make us fight with the Soviets, then what do you think can be done to obtain what he thinks is the greatest benefit?"
Nishio Toshiteru pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Of course, we hope that the Kwantung Army will triumph all the way and even go deep into the hinterland. It would be best if all the troops stationed in China were deployed to the battlefield."
"If even the one million troops in China are mobilized to the north, then..."
At this point, Nishio Toshiteru hesitated for a moment, then said in sudden realization: "I understand."
"Madam, do you think that if Shen Shuyi is really a pawn, then he is still very useful and can bring enough intelligence about the Soviet Union to the empire in the future?"
"And this information was deliberately provided to him by the Military Intelligence Bureau or the Central Intelligence Bureau, and he let us know..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's crazy? You actually thought that the intelligence agencies of the Nationalist government would help us stab our allies in the back? Your idea is really bold. Are you sure that the chess player will risk angering the Soviet Union and being criticized by 400 million Chinese compatriots to help us win?"
Kenji Doiyuan smiled faintly and said, "If I were the one who designed this plan, I would definitely do this..."
"You have to know that only a big enough bait can give us enough motivation and ambition to fight a decisive battle with the Soviet Union. The more places we occupy, the more troops we will need to maintain the current situation."
"And the Soviet Union will never allow us to occupy their territory, so they will definitely mobilize a large number of troops to fight us and try to drive us back to Manchuria."
"In this way, if the war escalates, both sides will inevitably have to invest more manpower and financial resources."
"Let's not talk about the Soviet Union. We may need to recruit troops from the Chinese Expeditionary Force..."
"Right now, the Empire's army is in a stalemate with the Nationalist government's army in Wuhan. If we withdraw our troops and head north, we can both relieve the pressure on the Nationalist government and please the Soviet Union and gain their assistance..."
"The most important thing is that they can fan the flames. The harder we fight, the happier they are."
"When the Soviet Union became stronger, they secretly leaked information about the Soviet Union to us. When we were about to win, they held back our offensive."
"Using the oil on Karafuto Island as bait, they are dragging the two countries step by step into the quagmire of war."
"To unite and make alliances, to divert disaster to the east."
"This is what he wants to see."
"Hiss, what a vicious plot." Nishio Toshiteru couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard it...
Kenji Doiyuan stroked his chin and said, "My favorite ancient Chinese epic novel is The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I'm afraid this chess player's intelligence can compete with the Three Kingdoms' ruthless scholars Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe."
"They treat all people in the world as chess pieces, without any moral bottom line, and they can even cooperate with their mortal enemies. Haha, that's interesting..."
If Chen Yang heard what Fatty Kenji said here, he would definitely be shocked. Were you peeking at me from behind when I was writing the plan?
The fat man really lived up to his reputation, and he saw through all the details of Chen Yang's plan at a glance.
Yes, all of Chen Yang’s plans were indeed as speculated by Kenji Doi. The whole plan was not only to obtain various kinds of assistance, but the most important thing was to cheat the Soviet Union and make a living.
After all, he knew that the Russians would pose a potential threat to China in the future, so Chen Yang felt no guilt in cheating them...
As the saying goes, a friend dies rather than a poor Taoist...
Letting the two sides fight to the death on the Eastern Front would not only consume the army of the daily life, but also ease the pressure on the government to resist the war. Most importantly, it would allow the government to ask for aid from the Soviet Union.
He is a businessman, and this kind of business that makes a lot of money is in line with his usual style of doing things.
"Since you all know what the other party is thinking, why do you decide to fight according to the other party's intentions?" Nishio Toshiteru was a little worried.
Kenji Doi said sternly, "Nishio-kun, decades ago, our ancestors in the empire have already shown us with their actions that this bear is not as scary as we imagined."
"Although it was a huge organization, its head was in Europe and its focus was also in Europe. Especially after the First World War and the brutal civil war, the support it could provide to the Far East was very limited."
"Besides, don't forget that the imperial warriors have the unshakable belief that they can overcome everything, and the adventurous spirit that dares to challenge everything."
"If it weren't for the adventurous spirit of countless predecessors, how could the empire have come this far?"
"The most important reason is that if we hadn't dared to take risks and challenge the strong, the empire would probably still be trembling under the guns of the Beiyang Fleet. How could we have such a glorious record of sweeping across most of China today?"
