Chapter 1847 Top Secret
Cheng Qianfan quickly reached for the gun on the bedside table.
At this moment, the light cord was pulled open, and the light came on. At the same time, a voice hurriedly said, "Secretary Cheng, don't get me wrong, I am Hojo Hidetoshi."
The sudden light was a bit blinding.
Cheng Qianfan's hand did not stop reaching for the bedside table.
When Hojo Hidetoshi looked over, he saw that Miyazaki Kentaro had already held the Browning pistol in his hand.
At this time, Cheng Qianfan also saw clearly that the person who came in was Hojo Hidetoshi. In addition to Hojo Hidetoshi, Kono Akira was also beside Hojo Hidetoshi.
He showed a look of astonishment, then breathed a sigh of relief, opened the safety of the Browning pistol, but did not put it back in the drawer, but placed it under the pillow.
"Hojo-kun, why are you in Jinan?" Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise.
"I happened to come to Jinan on business. I heard that Secretary Cheng was injured, so I came to visit you." Hojo Hidetoshi said with a smile.
As he said this, he looked at Kono Akira beside him and said, "Director Kono, thank you very much."
Kono Akira nodded slightly and left tactfully.
Cheng Qianfan saw Kono Akira leave, he stretched his neck, then felt a little uncomfortable under the pillow, so he took out the Browning pistol and put it in the drawer of the bedside table.
Noticing Miyazaki Kentaro's behavior, Hojo Hidetoshi smiled.
……
"How did Hojo-kun end up in Jinan?" Cheng Qianfan asked the same question again.
"I just arrived in Jinan from Xinjing on an Army Aviation transport plane an hour ago." Hojo Hidetoshi said. Seeing Miyazaki Kentaro's inquiring look, he nodded and said, "I came to Jinan with the counselor."
"It's great that the teacher has also come to Jinan." Cheng Qianfan said happily.
"The counselor originally planned to go directly back to Shanghai from Xinjing, but when he heard that something happened to the delegation, he decided to come to Jinan." Hojo Hidetoshi said, "However, I know that the counselor made the decisive decision to go to Jinan after hearing that you, Miyazaki-kun, were injured."
"Teacher!" Cheng Qianfan's eyes were filled with gratitude, and he even choked up a little.
……
"This mission has been forced to be terminated." Hojo Hidetoshi said, "Miyazaki, do you know that the Nanjing Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a representative to visit Manchukuo this time, which was personally facilitated by His Excellency the Counselor."
"I really don't know about that." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said, "I suddenly received a telegram from Nanjing informing me that I was arranged to accompany the delegation to visit Manchuria."
"The delegation encountered a bomb attack, especially Chu Liuyan was seriously injured and unconscious, so the delegation could not move forward." Hojo Hidetoshi said, "After the counselor decided to go to Jinan, he telegraphed Chu Mingyu to come to Jinan for a meeting."
"In addition to Chu Mingyu, Manchukuo's Minister of Foreign Affairs Rong Tieling also brought a delegation to Jinan." Hojo Hidetoshi said.
"This is to realize a diplomatic meeting between Nanjing and Manchukuo in Jinan." Cheng Qianfan said in surprise, "and the level of this meeting has been raised."
"Yes." Hojo Hidetoshi nodded. "The Counselor attaches great importance to the meeting between Nanjing and Xinjing and has decided to push it forward."
Cheng Qianfan nodded thoughtfully, and then he asked Hojo Hidetoshi, "Besides this matter, why did Hojo come to the hospital so late?"
"Tomorrow the counselor, Chu Mingyu, and Rong Tieling will come to the Army Hospital to visit the injured in this attack." Hojo Hidetoshi said, "The counselor speculates that Chu Mingyu will meet with you privately later."
He said to Miyazaki Kentaro, "Miyazaki-kun, what you have to do is to firmly enhance Chu Mingyu's confidence in the face of possible problems."
……
"Confidence?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Yes, confidence." Hojo Hidetoshi said solemnly, "To be precise, it is to make Chu Mingyu believe that the empire is invincible, and following the Great Japanese Empire must be the correct and smooth road."
"I understand." Cheng Qianfan nodded thoughtfully and said.
"The counselor will personally host the secret meeting between Nanjing and Xinjing," Hojo Hidetoshi said. "We will stay in Jinan for three days. Before leaving Jinan, the counselor may come to visit you again, or he may not be able to come due to some unexpected matters. Miyazaki-kun is aware of this."
"I understand." Cheng Qianfan said quickly, "The teacher is very busy and works very hard. He is also very dedicated to the empire. Please tell the teacher, Hojo-kun, to take good care of himself and stay healthy."
"I will convey Mr. Miyazaki's concern to the counselor." Hojo Hidetoshi nodded slightly.
He pointed to the cans and candies on the table and said, "Secretary Cheng, this is a little gift from me. Please accept it."
"Hojo-kun, you are so polite." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
Hidetoshi Hojo bids farewell to Kentaro Miyazaki.
……
Two minutes later, Kono Akira opened the door and came in.
He looked Cheng Qianfan up and down.
"Secretary Cheng knows Hojo-kun from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" asked Kono Akira.
"We are good friends." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly and said.
He understood what Kono Akira meant, so he smiled and said, "To be honest with you, Director Kono, I have many good friends in your country."
Kono Akira's eyes narrowed, he looked at Cheng Qianfan, then nodded, "It's late at night, I won't disturb Secretary Cheng's rest."
Having said that, Kono Akira nodded and left the ward.
……
Cheng Qianfan was lying on the hospital bed, and the incandescent light was off.
In the darkness, he opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.
Hojo Hidetoshi's visit made him feel uneasy.
Of course he knew what Heitaro Imamura was doing in Tokyo this time.
As a young diplomat who is highly valued by Foreign Minister Matsuoka, Imamura Heitaro will accompany Matsuoka to attend the Imperial Conference this time.
According to the information he had previously learned from Imamura Heitaro, at this imperial meeting, the Japanese command would make the final decision on the strategy of "advance south" or "advance north".
Now, Heitaro Imamura has returned to China from Tokyo, which also means that the Japanese cabinet and the Supreme Command have made a final decision on whether to "advance south" or "advance north".
Go south?
Heading north?
Cheng Qianfan kept thinking in his mind, guessing what the Japanese might decide.
He shook his head. "Go north" or "go south"? This is a difficult problem that has troubled the Japanese for decades. No matter which decision is made, there will be supporters and opponents.
Therefore, no matter which result it is, it is not surprising. So, there is no need to guess because you can’t guess accurately.
Cheng Qianfan understood that the answer was in Imamura Heitaro's mind.
It is almost impossible for any Chinese to get access to such shocking secrets of the Japanese Supreme Command.
However, now because of his relationship with Heitaro Imamura, he has the opportunity to access this shocking confidential information.
……
Cheng Qianfan kept pondering in his mind, thinking about how to get this top-secret information out of Imamura Heitaro's mouth.
After thinking of many plans, Cheng Qianfan rejected them all in his heart.
Such secrets can be regarded as the most top-secret intelligence of a country. Even if he is a student of Imamura Heitaro Nobushige, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky for him to obtain this information.
It seems that any contingency plan is of no use or necessity.
You just have to respond to each move and adapt to the situation.
Putting aside his thoughts on this matter for the time being, Cheng Qianfan began to focus on Hojo Hidetoshi's visit.
Nanjing arranged for Chu Liuyan to lead a delegation to Manchukuo, and this diplomatic visit was actually pushed behind the scenes by Imamura Heitaro.
Cheng Qianfan had not taken this visit too seriously before, or rather, although he took it seriously, he did not raise it to the highest level.
Because according to Chu Mingyu's previous instructions and requests, there was actually nothing extremely urgent about this diplomatic visit, and his participation in the delegation should be regarded as a gilding purpose.
However, judging from Imamura Heitaro's actions, this visit seems to be extremely complicated:
When Heitaro Imamura returned to Changchun from Tokyo, he had already decided to return to Shanghai, but suddenly changed his route to Jinan, and also telegraphed Chu Mingyu and Rong Tieling to come to Jinan for a meeting.
This matter itself is extremely complicated.
Regardless of the outcome of the Imperial Conference, Imamura Heitaro actually still has the mind to temporarily facilitate a meeting between Chu Mingyu and Rong Tieling. At such a critical moment, this in itself is enough to show that this meeting is definitely not simple!
……
Then, he thought of Hojo Hidetoshi coming to visit him tonight and asking him to try his best to cheer up Chu Mingyu and strengthen the confidence of the Nanjing Wang Puppet Government in the Japanese.
Thinking of this, Cheng Qianfan felt that this matter was more and more complicated.
It's a pity that all of this was just speculation based on his understanding of Imamura Heitaro's character, and he actually didn't have any other clues.
So, Cheng Qianfan is actually full of question marks now.
……
The next morning.
Cheng Qianfan was sitting in a wheelchair, and Wu Mingxia pushed the wheelchair to the garden of the Army Hospital for a walk.
"I think I can walk now." Cheng Qianfan said to Wu Mingxia.
"You'll have to use a wheelchair today, Secretary Cheng." Wu Mingxia whispered, "In about an hour, an important leader will come to the hospital to visit you."
"Okay." Cheng Qianfan shook his head helplessly and said, "I understand, I understand."
It was at this time that he noticed a doctor and several men pushing a flatbed cart walking towards the backyard.
One of the old men, who was a little hunched over, staggered and almost fell.
When the old man got up, he happened to look over here and their eyes made contact in the air.
Then the old man looked away and hurried to catch up with the crowd.
Cheng Qianfan looked at the backs of these people, or to be exact, at the old man's back, with a deep and scrutinizing gaze.
……
"Secretary Cheng, how is your injury?" Imamura Heitaro asked about Cheng Qianfan's injury with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Counselor." Cheng Qianfan said, "Although the injury is a little serious, thanks to the careful treatment and care of the doctors and nurses of the Army Hospital, I am much better now and am recovering now."
Imamura Heitaro nodded slightly, turned his head and said to Chu Mingyu beside him, "Mr. Minister, your young secretary can be regarded as a close friend of mine regardless of age."
"I heard Qianfan mention it." Chu Mingyu said with a smile, "He highly respects the Counselor."
While the two were talking, Cheng Qianfan shut up at the right time and showed a humble and shy smile.
Liu Xia stood by and watched the scene. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she winked at Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan looked straight ahead, and in his mind he was thinking about Rong Tieling, the Foreign Minister of the puppet Manchukuo.
This person was on the left of Imamura Heitaro and always had a smile on his face. However, he did not speak. He just nodded frequently to agree with Imamura Heitaro's words.
……
"Old Joe." Blind Eyes touched General Joe's arm and nodded at the Japanese soldiers standing guard with live ammunition not far away.
Two people were pushing a flatbed cart and working hard.
Noticing that the two laborers were slowing down, the Japanese soldiers not far away looked at them coldly. The two men quickly lowered their heads and pushed the cart away with all their might.
"Old Joe, did you see that?" said Blind Eye.
"What did you see?" General Joe said.
"Japanese, there's a guard every two steps and a sentry every five steps. This must be a big shot coming." Blind Eye said, "This is a big loss. If we knew that a big Japanese shot was coming to the hospital, we would..."
"What are we?"
"We have to find a way to get two grenades in and blow these bastards to death." said Blind Eyes.
"You know shit." General Qiao cursed.
……
General Qiao was actually reluctant to bring Blind Eyes in because he felt that Blind Eyes was too impulsive.
With the enemy's tight defense, it was impossible for the Chinese to get close, not to mention that they were just temporary workers doing odd jobs in the hospital. They just took a look from a distance and slowed down their pace before being scolded and driven away by the Japanese soldiers.
"Let's not talk about anything else, the guy in the wheelchair I met in the garden this morning," General Joe said, "that guy is not simple."
"Are you talking about that pretty boy?" asked the blind man.
"It's him." General Qiao nodded.
Although he and the 'pretty boy' only made eye contact at that time and he quickly looked away, General Qiao's intuition told him that the 'pretty boy' was not simple.
……
"Tell me what's wrong with you." Liu Xia handed the peeled apple to Cheng Qianfan and said, "Why is it that every time I go on a business trip, there is danger?"
She did not leave the hospital with Chu Mingyu, but went out for a walk and then returned to Cheng Qianfan's ward.
"You ask me this question, who should I ask?" Cheng Qianfan took a bite of the apple and said unhappily, "I want to go to Mount Tai to worship."
Liu Xia burst out laughing.
"I haven't asked yet, why did the minister come to Jinan?" Cheng Qianfan asked, "And Sister Xia, you came with him too."
"The delegation was attacked and Deputy Minister Chu was unconscious." Liu Xia said, "The minister personally contacted Xinjing. After urgent consultations, the minister proposed to meet in Jinan, and Xinjing readily agreed."
As she spoke, she peeled an apple for herself, took a bite and said, "You just saw him. That person is Rong Tieling, the Foreign Minister of Xinjing."
"You came to Jinan by plane, right?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
Seeing Liu Xia nod, Cheng Qianfan said in annoyance that they should also take a plane for the trip, as planes are much safer than trains.
"This Jinpu Road is simply not a road for people to walk on." Cheng Qianfan complained, "The Tubalu attacked the railway, appearing and disappearing like ghosts. Even their county brigade and district squad dared to rob trains and shoot at armored trains. They were extremely rampant."
