After coming out of the Imperial Palace, Kanin Gong Zaijin and Temple Touichi all believed that the "Lawrence of the East", Doihara Kenji, must be responsible for recruiting Xu Rui.
Kenji Doihara is definitely a leader in the Japanese intelligence community.
The Huanggutun incident that killed Zhang Zuolin was planned by Doihara Kenji. It was Doihara Kenji who secretly brought the deposed Emperor Puyi from Tianjin Jingyuan to Lushun and planned the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo. He also planned and established the Jidong Anti-Communist Party. The man behind the autonomous government was still Doihara Kenji, and even the establishment of the Nanjing Restoration Government was closely related to Doihara Kenji.
If there is one person in Japan who can come forward to recruit Xu Rui to surrender, this person must be Doihara.
"That's Kenji Doihara!" Hanin Gong Zaijin said, "He is the most suitable candidate to recruit Xu Rui."
"What His Highness said is absolutely true." Terauchi said after a pause, "This kind of thing is originally Doihara Kenji's expertise. It is most appropriate to leave the matter of recruiting Xu Rui to him."
"Yo Xi." Xianyuan Gong Zairen said, "Then call the Doihara Agency in Shanghai."
"Hai." Temple Shouzi said.
(Dividing line)
The telegram from the Japanese base camp soon arrived in Shanghai and was delivered to Kenji Doihara's desk. At this time, Kenji Doihara was struggling with how to invite Wu Peifu to come out.
At this time, Wang Jingwei had not yet rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, and the formation of the Nanjing puppet government headed by Wang Jingwei was naturally out of the question. However, in order to relieve the pressure from the Western powers, the puppet governments in North China, Nanjing, and Jidong were brought together to form a puppet government. At least a formally unified central government is imperative.
Therefore, Kenji Doihara thought of finding one of the old warlords who had gone to the field with a decent reputation. After searching around, Kenji Doihara looked for Wu Peifu. Among all the old warlords who had gone to the field, Wu Peifu was still a famous one. Prestige, Wu Peifu took the lead in forming a unified central government, which can be said to have the least resistance.
But what depressed Kenji Doihara was that Wu Peifu actually refused to come out.
In the past few months, Doihara Kenji had used all kinds of means, including money, beauty, coercion and inducement, everything he could think of, but Wu Peifu was stubborn and refused to nod. ! So much so that Kenji Doihara became so angry that he had the idea of assassinating Wu Peifu, but he has not yet implemented it.
This is not because Kenji Doihara is soft-hearted, but because Kenji Doihara is still unwilling to admit defeat and has not completely given up on Wu Peifu. Kenji Doihara wants to try again. If he still cannot invite Wu Peifu this time, then Kenji Doihara would completely give up and eradicate Wu Peifu without hesitation.
However, just as Kenji Doihara was about to leave for Peking again, a telegram from the base camp arrived.
Nani? Recruit Xu Rui, leader of the Dameishan Independent Regiment? A small group leader? Do I have to come forward in person? After reading the telegram, Kenji Doihara could hardly believe his eyes. He, Kenji Doihara, was Lawrence of the East, a leading figure in the intelligence community of the Empire of Japan, but he was asked to recruit and surrender a mere regimental commander
Although this regiment leader had won many battles and posed a considerable threat to the Japanese army, the regiment leader was still the regiment leader. To ask him, a dignified lieutenant general and agency chief, to recruit and surrender a small regiment commander, Kenji Doihara thought it was an insult! For a moment, Kenji Doihara even came up with the idea of questioning the base camp, did you make a mistake
But in the end, Kenji Doihara controlled his emotions.
After controlling his emotions, Ken Doihara asked his adjutant to call in all the battle reports about Xu Rui.
The official name of the Doihara Agency is the Special Committee on China, which was jointly established by senior officials from the Army, Navy and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Because the general person in charge is Doihara, it is called the Doihara Agency. As such an organization, the invasion force The battle reports of various units of the Chinese and Japanese armies are of course qualified to be copied and archived.
But Doihara Kenji did not read these battle reports in detail.
As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not be in charge. Kenji Doihara's energy is limited after all. He is still too busy with his own work, so how can he have extra energy to care about irrelevant things? Therefore, Doihara Kenji has only heard of Xu Rui, but he is not very clear about Xu Rui's specific record.
Doihara Kenji only knew that the Japanese army suffered a lot under Xu Rui.
However, when the adjutant submitted all the battle reports about Xu Rui to his desk, and when Kenji Doihara carefully read the thick stack of battle reports, his attitude towards the whole matter changed 180 degrees! Let’s not talk about the specific victories Xu Rui fought and how many Japanese troops he destroyed. Just the long list of generals who fell under Xu Rui is enough to shock Kenji Doihara!
Major General Yoshio Tachibana, killed in action;
Major General Shuichi Hamura, killed in action;
Major General Kawaguchi Heiji, killed in action;
Major General Andaliao Tai was killed in battle;
Major General Tokutaro Sakai, killed in action;
Major General Mitsuru Ushijima, killed in action;
Major General Kameda Eiichi, killed in action;
Major General Okada was captured and detained;
Major General Kei Setani was captured and detained;
Major General Shigeto Chiaki was captured and detained;
Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro was captured and detained;
Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji was assassinated;
Lieutenant General Fushimi Miya Toshihiko was assassinated;
Lieutenant General Xiaozhu Yinan committed suicide by caesarean section;
General Gen Sugiyama committed suicide by caesarean section;
Tian Jun, the sixth general, died of worry and anger.
Looking at this long list of generals, Kenji Doihara couldn't help but take a breath!
Although Xu Rui is only a regiment commander, his performance has far exceeded those of division commanders, corps commanders, group army commanders and even theater commanders! Because except for Xu Rui, no one in the entire National Army has such a remarkable record! From this point of view alone, this person is completely worthy of Kenji Doihara.
Then again, if Xu Rui can be recruited to the camp of the Nanjing Reform Government just like Ma Zhanshan was recruited, the impact on the entire Sino-Japanese war will be decisive. Xu Rui now is nothing less than China It is a high-flying flag of the militant faction. If this flag falls, China's militant faction will surely be disintegrated.
"Yoshi, His Majesty the Emperor is really far-sighted." Kenji Doihara muttered to himself, then pressed the summoning bell to call the adjutant in, and told the adjutant: "Go and find Colonel Kawashima immediately."
"Hai." The adjutant paused and turned around.
Watching the adjutant's figure go away, Kenji Doihara's iconic little eyes narrowed.
When Ma Zhanshan was recruited and surrendered, Doihara Kenji went there in person. However, times have changed. Given the current situation, Doihara Kenji would never leave casually for Damei Mountain. After all, Ma Zhanshan was fighting alone at the time. Xu Rui has the whole of China behind him. If he really goes, there is no guarantee that he will never return.
Therefore, before having direct contact with Xu Rui, one must first send someone to check out Xu Rui's tone.
In a flash, Kenji Doihara thought of his best partner Yoshiko Kawashima. Yoshiko Kawashima and Kenji Doihara are the male and female evil spirits of the Japanese intelligence community. If Kenji Doihara is the Lawrence of the East, then Yoshiko Kawashima It is the Mata Hari of the East. These two ace agents have combined their swords and accomplished many great things.
For example, Kawashima Yoshiko was involved in the Huanggutun incident and the support for the Puppet Manchukuo. The Shanghai 128 Incident was concocted by Kawashima Yoshiko. To borrow the words of Kenji Doihara, Kawashima Yoshiko was like someone in his hands. With a sharp saber, the blade can go anywhere, and there is nothing Yoshiko Kawashima can't do.
Kenji Doihara firmly believes that Yoshiko Kawashima is the best person to contact Xu Rui.
Kawashima Yoshiko is a woman, and she is also a very beautiful woman. According to the information provided by the special high school, Xu Rui seems to be a romantic seed. As long as Xu Rui has the disease of being a widower, he will never be able to resist Kawashima Yoshiko. You must know that Yoshiko Kawashima is a famous socialite throughout Shanghai. Of course, Yoshiko Kawashima's public identity in front of others is that of the former Qing Dynasty prince, not a spy of the Japanese secret service.
Secondly, Yoshiko Kawashima is still Chinese and the fourteenth daughter of the former Qing Dynasty prince.
With these two identities, even if Xu Rui refuses to surrender, it is unlikely to harm Yoshiko Kawashima.
However, Doihara Kenji waited until noon and did not wait for Kawashima Yoshiko, because Kawashima Yoshiko went to the racecourse in Hujiang to participate in the equestrian competition. Although Kawashima Yoshiko is a woman, she loves equestrian, fencing, shooting and other intense sports, and He was strictly trained by his adoptive father Kawashima Lang since he was a child, and his skills are very good.
Until the evening, Yoshiko Kawashima finally entered Doihara's office wearing a riding suit.
As soon as Kawashima Yoshiko entered the door, Kenji Doihara ordered his adjutant to go out and close the door. He also specifically told him that he had important matters to discuss with Colonel Kawashima and not to disturb him unless there was something urgent. Adjutant Hai shouted, turned around and went out, then gently opened the office door.
As soon as the door was closed, Doihara Kenji couldn't wait to hug Kawashima Yoshiko. While he put his face into Kawashima Yoshiko's neck and sniffed it like a dog, he gasped and said: "My little baby, this time Where have you been all day? Do you know that I have been waiting for you here all day? You miss me so much."
Kawashima Yoshiko gently hugged Doihara Kenji's neck, while she stepped back until her buttocks hit the hard desk, then she leaned back on the desk, then looked at Doihara with extremely charming eyes, and said: " Do you really miss me that much? If you really miss me that much, why don’t you accompany me to the racecourse to race horses?"
"Horse racing?" The passion in Doihara's eyes immediately receded like a tide, and he said with a sad face, "I'm almost too busy to go to the racecourse. How can I have time to accompany you to the racecourse?"
"Is it still about Wu Peifu?"
"Not just Wu Peifu, but also Xu Rui."
"Xu Rui?" Kawashima Yoshiko immediately became energetic after hearing this. (To be continued.)
