Chapter 1432: Japanese Royal Family
"Brother Shunsuke is the nephew of Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi." Kawada Atsuto said, "His father was Prince Fushimi Kuniyoshi who died in 1939."
"It's actually His Highness Fushimi." Cheng Qianfan murmured, obviously still not recovered from the shock.
In 1392, the third shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, persuaded the Southern Court to surrender, and Japan was reunified.
However, the Northern Dynasty soon broke its promise and exiled the prince of the Southern Dynasty.
Perhaps because he was afraid of breaking his promise and bringing retribution, Chongren Tianzong's son Rongren was named Prince Fushimi, and his descendants could inherit the throne after Tianzong died without an heir.
Later, for the sake of safety, three more royal families were added, namely Katsura Palace, Arisugawa Palace, and Yamakai Palace, which are known in history as the Four Great Royal Families.
By the Meiji period, among the four great royal families, only the Fushimi family had many descendants; the other three families had no descendants. Therefore, the Japanese people jokingly called the Fushimi family "the stud of the Fushimi family and the sow of the Fujiwara family" to describe the strong fertility of the Fushimi family.
However, by the time of Emperor Hirohito, the blood relationship between Prince Fushimi and Emperor Ten was already distant, and they belonged to a distant branch of the imperial family, so he could not be called a prince, but only a king.
Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi was the eldest son of Prince Fushimi Sadanae and inherited the throne of Prince Fushimi. Prince Fushimi Sadana Toshisuke's father, Prince Fushimi Sadana Kuniyoshi, was the second son of Prince Fushimi Sadanae.
Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi was a member of the ruling class of the royal family. He held the position of Chief of the Naval General Staff and was awarded the honorary title of Marshal.
In 1938, Prince Hiroyoshi Fushimi seized command from the Minister of the Navy and changed the Chief of the Naval General Staff to the Chief of the Naval General Staff.
As a result, the Naval General Staff became responsible for the formulation of combat and military deployment plans in peacetime, and in wartime it was the direct superior of the Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet.
Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi was a radical expansionist in the navy.
After the outbreak of the Second Battle of Shanghai, it was Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi who ordered the then Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet, Admiral Nagano Osami, to transport a large number of army divisions to the Chinese battlefield.
At the same time, Prince Hiroyoshi Fushimi dispatched Hasegawa Kiyoshi's Third Fleet to support the Japanese Marines stationed in Shanghai.
Subsequently, the Japanese Navy successively transported Matsui Iwane's Shanghai Expeditionary Force and Yanagawa Heisuke's 10th Army to the Songhu battlefield, and he personally ordered the naval aviation to carry out large-scale indiscriminate bombing in densely populated residential areas in Shanghai, Nanjing and other places.
It can be said that Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi of the Navy and Prince Asaka Naruhiko of the Army are Japanese royal executioners whose hands are stained with the blood of the Chinese!
Cheng Qianfan looked at Kawada Atsuto with a wry smile on his face, muttering, "Master Atsuto, this kind of dangerous thing is really..."
"Don't worry, they are just a few escaped members of the Military Control Commission." Kawada Atsuto knew what Miyazaki Kentaro was worried about, and comforted him, "His Highness Junyou has guards to protect him."
Cheng Qianfan nodded silently and sighed helplessly.
"I will definitely ask Li Cuiqun to arrange enough manpower to protect Young Master Atsuto and His Highness Junyou." Cheng Qianfan said seriously.
"No." Kawada Atsuto shook his head. "Toshiyuki is very conceited. He will be unhappy if he finds out."
As he said this, he specifically reminded Miyazaki Kentaro, "You must not reveal the identity of His Highness Junyou to Li Cuiqun and others. He only needs to know that Lieutenant Colonel Horie Junichiro is from the imperial nobility."
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded quickly, but still looked hesitant.
Seeing Miyazaki Kentaro's worried look, he smiled and said, "It's just six or seven members of the Military Control Commission who slipped through the net. Don't worry, Fushimi Palace has guards to protect His Highness."
He boasted to Miyazaki Kentaro, "These palace guards are all imperial warriors who are worth ten of their own."
"Then I feel relieved." Cheng Qianfan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
……
On the way back to the guesthouse from the Japanese military police headquarters in Qingdao, Cheng Qianfan sat in the car with his eyes closed.
In fact, Cheng Qianfan's heart was like a raging storm, with complicated thoughts fighting in his mind.
A voice in my head screamed:
Kill Fushimiyama Shunsuke!
Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi's hands are stained with the blood of countless Chinese people.
Fushiminomiya Shunsuke was also the executioner who massacred Chinese civilians and anti-Japanese patriots!
The most important thing is that he is a genuine member of the Japanese royal family!
but--
Cheng Qianfan shook his head in his heart. It took great determination for him to suppress the impulse and temptation to attack Fushimi Gong Junyou.
Fushiminomiya Shunsuke's royal identity made him very excited, but from the overall perspective, this person was just a member of the Japanese royal family after all. In the face of major strategic events that could affect the overall situation of the anti-Japanese war, such as the assassination of Wang Tianhai and the disruption of the "Big Three" meeting, he was ultimately a secondary target.
The enemy is completely unaware of the existence of Taozi and others. The actions of Taozi and others rely on catching the enemy by surprise to maximize their chances of success.
Therefore, the Special Intelligence Department only had this one opportunity to take unexpected action in Qingdao. After weighing the two options, the primary targets were naturally Wang Tianhai and the "Big Three" meeting.
However, he sighed in his heart, he really wanted to kill Fushimimiya Shunsuke.
This is a member of the Japanese royal family!
……
"Please show me your pass."
Cheng Qianfan was stopped at the entrance of the guesthouse by a Japanese spy wearing the armband of the Development Asia Council.
"Mr. Akai, it's me." Cheng Qianfan looked at the Japanese military police sergeant Akai Noriyuki who was standing next to the spy from the Asia Development Council, and said with a smile.
"Secretary Cheng, please cooperate." Akai Noriyuki said with a serious expression.
Cheng Qianfan opened his mouth, but still took out the special pass that Atsuto Kawada had helped him get and handed it over with a look of disappointment.
The agents from the Asia Development Council carefully checked and compared the photo with the person's appearance before letting him go.
Akai Noyuki winked at Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan entered the hall, and soon Akai Noriyuki caught up with him.
"Mr. Akai, what's going on?" Cheng Qianfan asked. He noticed that there were many more spies wearing the armbands of the Institute of Development of Asia in the hall.
"According to the latest instructions from the Asia Development Council, the Empire has dispatched additional security personnel to strengthen inspections, and ordered us to do our utmost to ensure the safety of Mr. Wang Tianhai and the meeting of the 'Big Three'." Akai Noriyuki said in a low voice.
"Aren't these people from the military police?" Cheng Qianfan handed a cigarette to Akai Noriyuki.
"They are from the Special High Section." Akai Nobuyuki said, "Not only the Special High Section, but our military police and the Imperial Garrison in Qingdao have also sent additional troops."
"What happened?" Cheng Qianfan showed a surprised expression, "The Military Control Commission's Qingdao Station was almost wiped out. Why is it that we are facing a more formidable enemy now?"
His heart skipped a beat. Originally, the Japanese attached great importance to the security of Wang Tianhai and the "Big Three" meeting. It was only after the Qingdao Station was destroyed by the enemy that he took advantage of the enemy's laxity to act. Unexpectedly, the Japanese security of Wang Tianhai and the "Big Three" meeting was even tighter than before.
"It was Mr. Wang Tianhai," Akai Noyuki said, "He was frightened this time and asked the Empire to send more defense forces."
Understood.
Although the actions of the Military Intelligence Bureau did not cause any harm to Wang Tianhai, he was still frightened when he thought that the Military Intelligence Bureau had dug a tunnel under the Guest House and planned to plant explosives to kill him.
Wang Tianhai, who was afraid of death, begged the Japanese to strengthen security in fear.
Cheng Qianfan nodded, but he was cursing in his heart, if you are so afraid of death, then don't be a traitor.
"I will tell Taketa Tsuruoka that Secretary Cheng will have more convenient access in the future compared to others." Akai Noyuki said to Cheng Qianfan.
This person is a friend of the young nobleman of the Imperial Kawada family. Chief Kurata Kunihiro of the Intelligence Room specifically instructed him to take good care of Cheng Qianfan, so he was naturally happy to make friends with this person.
"Tsuruoka?"
"That's the guy from the Special High Section just now." Akai Noriyuki said.
"In that case, thank you very much." Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded, "Akai-kun is loyal to his duty, and he is worthy of being the warrior that Kurata-kun often praises."
Akai was overjoyed, as this was exactly what he had been waiting for from Secretary Cheng. This man was indeed sensible.
……
Cheng Qianfan first returned to his room, washed his face, hummed a tune while combing his hair, applied hair wax, and then appeared in Chu Mingyu's office in high spirits.
"Uncle Chu."
"You're back." Chu Mingyu was writing at his desk. He looked up at Cheng Qianfan and said, "I heard that the young master of the Kawada family wants to see you for something?"
"That young master from Du wants to get some Chongqing people from Deputy Director Li." Cheng Qianfan took the initiative to grind ink for Chu Mingyu, and leaned over to watch Chu Mingyu practice calligraphy. He couldn't help but admire, "Good calligraphy, iron pen and silver hook, with a majestic momentum."
"I think Kawada Atsuto will be disappointed." Chu Mingyu said with a smile, "As far as I know, everyone in the Qingdao station of the Military Control Commission has decided to follow Mr. Wang."
"This is what it means to be righteous and to have many supporters. Justice and truth are with Mr. Wang." Cheng Qianfan said, "Just as Uncle expected, Senior Li rejected Kawada Atsuto's request."
"Isn't Li Cuiqun afraid of offending people?"
"This senior of my nephew is very smart." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "He asked Kawada Atsuto to help him capture the fugitives at Qingdao Station."
"Oh?" Chu Mingyu looked up in surprise, "Did Kawada Atsuto agree?"
"I agree." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "Actually, he is a noble friend of that Master Du Ren. He is very interested in capturing members of the Military Control Commission."
"When my nephew came back just now, he saw that the inspection was very strict." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "If Deputy Director Li had not discovered the conspiracy from Chongqing in time, it would have been terrible. Are the Japanese realizing it too late and trying to make up for the loss?"
"What happened this morning was really dangerous. Mr. Wang was very angry and criticized the Japanese security work." Chu Mingyu snorted coldly, "The Japanese are only good at boasting. If it weren't for our own efforts, this time there would be a big problem."
As he said that, he glanced at Cheng Qianfan and said, "Mr. Wang knows that you have been busy with security work at the secret service headquarters, and he is very pleased."
"Uncle is worried about Mr. Wang's safety and I am just following your instructions, fulfilling my duties and doing what is within my responsibility," said Cheng Qianfan.
"Be loyal to your duties. That's a good point." Chu Mingyu nodded slightly. "If everyone can be loyal to their duties and closely follow Mr. Wang's footsteps, and work hard, why worry about China not prospering? The Party and the country not flourishing?"
"That's what uncle taught me." Cheng Qianfan said solemnly, "I will definitely obey uncle's teachings, follow uncle's footsteps, and swear to protect Mr. Wang until death."
……
"You just said, Kawada Atsuto's friend?" Chu Mingyu put down the wolf-hair brush in his hand and asked.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Judging from Kawada Atsuto's attitude towards this person, this person should be of extraordinary status."
As he said this, he smiled bitterly, "Originally, my nephew was thinking about having more time to study with my uncle, but now, there is another noble young master to serve."
"Stupid." Chu Mingyu glared at Cheng Qianfan. "You have the opportunity to make friends with the nobles of Japan. This is an opportunity that others would never beg for."
He looked at Cheng Qianfan with a serious expression, "Don't underestimate the power of these Japanese noble families. You must remember that our country is poor and weak. Anything that can help us get closer to our friendly country Japan is not a small matter."
"Sometimes, there are things that are difficult or inappropriate to say from my side or even from Mr. Wang's side. We can communicate through private channels." Chu Mingyu said earnestly.
"My nephew is superficial." Cheng Qianfan was full of shame. "It's just that I see that my uncle is too busy and hard-working, and I wish I could do more for him within my ability."
"Uncle knows you are a good kid." Chu Mingyu nodded with satisfaction, and then said seriously, "However, your most important job now is to protect Atsuto Kawada, and that..."
"That person is Lieutenant Colonel Junichiro Horie of the Japanese military." Cheng Qianfan said, "However, I guess this is not his real name. He should be a nobleman of a distinguished family background in Japan."
"Hmm." Chu Mingyu nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I will give you a holiday for the time being. If you have time, go visit Kawada Atsuto and Horie Junichiro more often."
"Nephew, you don't have to worry about it." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
……
After successfully obtaining further permission from Chu Mingyu to move freely, Cheng Qianfan strolled around the Guest House casually. He found that just as Akai Noriyuki said, the Japanese side had greatly strengthened the security of the Guest House.
Standing at the window, Cheng Qianfan looked toward the street and saw Japanese military police constantly entering the surrounding houses to search.
With this level of search intensity, not to mention the Guest House, even the streets around the Guest House, any potential threats to Wang Tianhai and the "Big Three" meeting will be completely eliminated.
In addition, armored vehicles of the Japanese army appeared on the streets. It was obvious that this was a defensive force prepared for Wang Tianhai's overseas trip. It could even be said that it fundamentally eliminated possible surprise attacks.
Cheng Qianfan's expression was extremely solemn.
He knew that it was basically impossible to launch sanctions against Wang Tianhai again or to sabotage the "Big Three" meeting again.
That being the case——
Fushimiyama Shunsuke!
Cheng Qianfan decisively changed his plan and goals, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.
