Chapter 309: Su Zhengyang's back-up plan and Asano Wenliang's guess
Su Zhengyang picked up the telegram, read the contents carefully, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In this negotiation, when the information that Fuso's local air force had taken shape was basically transparent, Su Zhengyang certainly knew that Fuso's intention was to delay time and wait for the support of its local air force, but Su Zhengyang was also delaying to attract the attention of all parties to the negotiation table.
As early as half a year ago, Jiang Tai, who was promoted to the director of the Northwest Intelligence Bureau by Yan Shuangying, brought a group of elites of the Northwest Intelligence Bureau across the ocean to Japan. At this time, he had obtained a legal identity in Kyoto, Fuso, and used the alias Nakamura Hengta. He also established Nakamura Co., Ltd., which became a formal chamber of commerce organization of a certain size in Fuso Kyoto. On the surface, it was engaged in department store industry, but in fact it was constantly developing an intelligence network.
To date, the Fuso Tokyo Intelligence Office has 124 intelligence personnel who are proficient in Japanese and can communicate with local Fuso people and have legal identities. Among them, some are responsible for intelligence sorting, some are responsible for specific actions, and the final intelligence will be summarized by Jiang Tai and transmitted to the country.
Just half a month ago, Hengtai, who was in Tokyo, received an order from Yan Shuangying himself, to thoroughly investigate the family background information of Ningji Okamura, the commander of the Okamura Division of the Kwantung Army, and to look for opportunities to secretly control his family.
This was actually Su Zhengyang's backup plan, because even after the negotiations were over, Fuso's attention would always be focused on the entire Northern Expedition Corps. It would be a fantasy to solve the problem of the safety of more than 200,000 people in Fuso's hands through tough measures.
Su Zhengyang has decided to return to Beilong City after completing the feat of recovering the northeastern territory and begin preparing to succeed the presidency.
At this critical juncture, we must not allow ourselves to be tarnished by endangering the safety of 200,000 people.
The only solution is to start from within.
The Gangcun Division was a Class B division in the Kwantung Army that was responsible for detaining and interrogating prisoners of war, establishing concentration camps, and capturing native Chinese people as coolies.
More than half of the more than 200,000 people who were blatantly detained by Fuso this time were detained in the Northeast China Concentration Camp in Matsue City, and the guarding force of the concentration camp was the Gangcun Division.
Ningji Okamura was originally a nobleman from Osaka, Fuso. He joined the army at the call of the emperor, accumulated military merits step by step, and became the commander of the Ningji Okamura Division. It can be said that the Ningji Okamura Division was the direct force brought up by Ningji Okamura himself. Ningji Okamura was an extremely filial person who hated war from the bottom of his heart. According to the intelligence information obtained by Su Zhengyang, Ningji Okamura was very concerned about his surviving father and other family members. Family members occupied a very important position in his mind, even more important than the so-called militarism.
In other words, as long as they control Ningji Okamura's family, they can be forced to submit to a certain extent and cooperate with Su Zhengyang's actions.
Five years ago, Ningji Okamura purchased a medium-sized manor in the suburbs of Tokyo and settled his family there. After receiving Su Zhengyang's order, Jiang Tai personally ordered people to sneak into the Okamura's manor and take all his family members under control. This was also the most important step in Su Zhengyang's plan.
At this time, on the way to the Junxiang Division headquarters, Miura Uchie looked relaxed, and restored his dignity as a cabinet minister. He said to Asano Onryo beside him: "Asano-kun, I didn't expect that the Kwantung Army has a talent like you, who is relaxed and cautious, and acts after planning. He is still calm in the enemy's territory. After returning, I will definitely say a few good words for you in front of His Majesty."
Asano Onryo, who had been frowning and silent, hurriedly responded respectfully: "Thank you for your appreciation, Lord Miura. Serving the empire is what I should do."
"It was Lord Sanpu who personally traveled to Northeast China and negotiated with Su Zhengyang regardless of his own safety. He is truly a role model for our generation. Thank you for your hard work, Lord Sanpu."
Miura Uchie was immediately overjoyed, revealing a smug look, completely forgetting the torture he had endured these days. He looked at Asano Onryo and said, "You were lost in thought all along the way, what were you thinking about?"
Asano Wenliang pondered and said, "Mr. Miura, you don't know that I have done a very deep study on Su Zhengyang. Generally speaking, he is a cunning and treacherous person who will do anything to achieve his goals. He aims to take over the presidency of the Northern Frontier Government from his father-in-law Yang Jiakai. If he can drive the Kwantung Army out of China and take back the country, his popularity among the people will reach its peak, and there will be no opposition when he succeeds the presidency."
"But I am a little puzzled that he gave up the fruits of victory right in front of him for the sake of profit so easily."
Sanpu Neijiang waved his hands and snorted coldly, "What kind of knowledge and ambition can a Chinese born in a backward and barren land have? With the benefit of 1.5 billion oceans in front of him, I'm afraid he has already been blinded by the benefits. Once our support arrives, he and the entire Northern Xinjiang regime will pay ten times the price!"
"That's what Miura-sama said!"
Asano Wenliang agreed with Miura's statement on the surface, but in fact, he was extremely alert in his heart. He had made up his mind to keep a close eye on the actions of the Northern Expedition Corps in the near future and must not be complacent and let Su Zhengyang take advantage of them.
In Asano Atsuyoshi's opinion, the safety of more than 200,000 Northeastern people was in the hands of the Kwantung Army, which was tantamount to strangling Su Zhengyang's lifeline. Under such circumstances, it was really unsatisfactory to reach such a result.
It can only be said that Su Zhengyang's inner ruthlessness and the initial show of force have completely frightened Sanura Neijiang. If the other party really disregards the lives of more than 200,000 people and goes straight to war, who will take the blame for the failure of the negotiations?
From the perspective of politician Miura Uchie, as long as the negotiations are concluded safely, the credit will be in his hands. If he plays psychological warfare with Su Zhengyang like a gambler, if something goes wrong, the gain will outweigh the loss. It is better to talk more and do less, and try not to make mistakes. This is what a mature politician should do.
Asano Atsuyoshi racked his brains, but until he safely brought Miura Uchie back to Liaodong City, he still couldn't guess Su Zhengyang's specific thoughts. After all, no one could have imagined that at this time, the Northwest Intelligence Bureau under Su Zhengyang had already developed to the Fuso main body.
Asano Atsuyoshi was highly praised by Miura Uchie for his outstanding performance this time, and was also awarded the Fuso Army Medal of Honor by Minamino Tojiro. Su Zhengyang's plan was proceeding in an orderly manner.
