Chapter 49 Sanctions "Immediately send electricity to the office. Zhang Jingyao colluded with the Japanese invaders in an attempt to create independence in North China. Our department has found out the facts and has witnesses Wang Zhixin and letters as evidence. We request for disposal." Returning to the compound, Zuo Zhong ordered He Yijun to send a report to Jinling . In addition, Zuo Zhong also reported the situation to Deputy Director Zheng and Minister He. After the two learned about it, they were also frightened. There were many old warlords with such veteran qualifications, and a little carelessness would cause huge disasters. Troubles. There were rumors before that Zhang Jingyao colluded with the Japanese invaders. The Jinling government also considered this reason and did not take action, hoping that he would see the reality clearly and not seek death. Now it seems that Zhang Jingyao's ambitions are greater than they thought. Deputy Director Zheng thought of something and broke into a cold sweat: "It is said that Zhang Jingyao has a close relationship with Commander Song who was stationed in Peiping at this time. Do you need him?" Minister He said with certainty: "Commander Song still has national integrity, so there is no need to worry, but Zhang Jingyao's old subordinates are not sure. If he successfully instigates a few rebels, it will easily affect the morale of the front line." Everyone is anxiously waiting for Jinling's call back. This kind of thing must be reported to the bald head. Whether to kill or arrest depends on the bald head's decision. In these days, warlords only need to be electrified to go to the field, and it is difficult to do so unless they commit a serious crime. Perhaps the situation was urgent, Dai Chunfeng quickly called back, with only one order: severely sanction Zhang Jingyao, and he would be reinstated immediately. Zuo Zhong understood that severe sanctions meant killing, and the immediate consequences were to be completed in a short period of time. The bald man who was working hard to micro-manage the war in the southwest must understand the seriousness of this matter.
After the Battle of the Great Wall, the underground party proposed a joint anti-Japanese war. Baldhead ignored the opposition of the Chinese people and forcefully carried out the war in the southwest. If Zhang Jingyao's matter came to pass, it would definitely affect his so-called plan of resisting foreign aggression and pacifying domestic affairs. Zhang Jingyao would have to die if he didn't. . Minister He didn't care how the Secret Service acted. He only demanded that Zhang Jingyao be killed as soon as possible. Deputy Director Zheng placed all his hopes on Zuo Zhong, and ran back to Peking Station without caring about worldly affairs and hid in a small building to become a unified man. Zuo Chong returned to the compound to gather people and began to make plans. Gui Youguang first introduced the information about Zhang Jingyao's residence. "Zhang Jingyao lives in Huayuan Street, the Japanese Concession in Jinmen. It is a villa. The Zhang family has a wife, twelve concubines, and seven servants. Zhang usually goes to bed at nine o'clock. After ten o'clock, the entire Zhang residence, except for the guards, Will basically fall asleep. Zhang Jingyao has a total of five bodyguards, all of whom have been with him for many years. They are all elites in the army. According to our observation, these five people are equipped with self-defense. If possible, they must be controlled as soon as possible. " Zuo Zhong was shocked. There were thirteen women in total. Is this Jingyao busy enough? Carrying out such a task with many witnesses was the most troublesome. Zuo Zhong was not a murderer. He could not kill Zhang's wife, concubines, children, and servants, so he could only choose to operate in a mask. As for the five guards, no matter how elite they are, they are just like that. Secret service operations are different from ordinary combat. Don’t worry too much. The difficulty of the task is to move quickly and then evacuate, without giving time for concession patrols and garrison response. We couldn't delay at this time. Once Zhang Jingyao learned that someone wanted to assassinate him, he would be in trouble if he hid. Zuo Zhong decided to cut the mess quickly. Glancing at the serious-looking agents, Zuo Zhong said in a deep voice: "We will set off for Jinmen in three days. The official operation will take place that night. Everyone is divided into two teams, one is the action team and the other is the reserve team. The action team is led by me and consists of twenty people. The purpose is to control the **** and kill Zhang Jingyao. The remaining people are reserve teams, led by Wu Chunyang to ambush in nearby streets. If they encounter the concession military police, they will fight! " "yes!" Following Zuo Zhong’s order, the team members began to check the operational equipment. The action team was fighting indoors, so they only used two Thompsons as suppressive firepower, and the remaining people used PPK and Zilaide to deal with Zhang Jingyao's guards. The reserve force may need to block the concession military police and face possible mid-to-long-distance operations. The Kar98s and remaining Thomsons brought here should be equipped with them. If the operation was discovered, Zuo Zhong was prepared to die for the country. Even if he sacrificed everything, he would definitely kill Zhang Jingyao. He would sacrifice himself for the cause of resisting Japan. He felt that his trip back was not in vain. Zuo Zhong called Ling Sanping and He Yijun. He had something to say to them. "Doctor Ling, you and Yijun are waiting for us here. If the operation fails, you should return to Jinling immediately and do not contact Peking Station. If possible, it is best to go abroad, to New Zealand or Toronto, and don't come back. " He Yijun grabbed Zuo Zhong and said, "I want to go with you. I don't want to go abroad. I just want to be with you." After saying that, he grabbed his sleeve tightly, as if he was afraid that Zuo Zhong would run away. Ling Sanping's answer is even simpler: "I am also a soldier now. This is our responsibility, the responsibility of our generation, and no one can escape it."
Looking at the stubborn He Yijun and the indifferent Ling Sanping, Zuo Zhong fell silent. He wanted to protect them both, but when that day came, who could escape and who could stay out of the incident. Zuo Zhong suddenly laughed. He realized that he had underestimated the people of this era. There were traitors who were greedy for life and afraid of death, leaders who were ambitious and talented, and officials who were drunk and dreaming of life. But equally, there are martyrs here who sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and there are also heroes who die bravely. “Okay, then we will live and die together.” "With the total death." At this time, Zhang Jingyao entertained several distinguished guests at his home, including Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Seishiro Itagaki, as well as Aoki Residence Chief Osaka Tosada and Hase Ryosuke, the Special High School Section of the Shanghai Consulate. It was Seishiro Itagaki who was the liaison between Zhang Jingyao and the Japanese. At the same time, the idea of North China was also proposed by Seishiro Itagaki. The specific implementation was handled by the Aoki Mansion, and Michizada Osako was Zhang Jingyao's direct leader. Hase Ryosuke is the rebellion expert who has been accompanying Zhang Jingyao these days. The two get along well, especially regarding their attitude towards money. They have many common topics and can be said to feel like old friends at first sight. "Zhang Jun, why do you keep delaying your plan to rebel against Commander Song?" As soon as they met, Itagaki Seishiro asked Zhang Jingyao rudely. Zhang Jingyao was not afraid and said sincerely: "Chief of Staff, I'm so talkative. How can I tell Commander Song about my surrender?" Zhang Jingyao was helpless. In addition to giving him the title of empty commander, the Japanese did not give him a single soldier. He paid for the banquet expenses when he instigated the rebellion. Seishiro Itagaki hadn't reimbursed him yet. What should he use? Instigate rebellion against others. Itagaki Seishiro looked at Osako Tosada and said in a cold tone: "Captain Osako, didn't you pay Zhang Jun's activity expenses?" Osako Tsusada hesitated and said nothing. Although Japan attaches great importance to intelligence work, it also depends on the department. For example, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Extraordinary Higher Education Department is backed by a big tree and has a sufficient annual budget. His Aoki Mansion is under the Ministry of War, but its direct leadership belongs to the Kwantung Army, so it has very little funding. Hase Ryosuke next to him said that he deserved it. He had long felt that this kind of rebellion was unreliable. It was impossible to convince those people with just one mouth. The old Chinese saying has been very clear - if you don't see the rabbit, don't let the eagle go. . The anger in Itagaki Seishiro's heart rose up. Osako Tsusada, this idiot, wasted the empire for so long for a little money. What a bastard! If there wasn't a suitable candidate, he would really want to kill this **** with one shot. Seeing that the situation was not good, Osako Tosada stood up and bowed to Zhang Jingyao: "I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that things would turn out like this and cause you trouble." Zhang Jingyao was so frightened that he stood up suddenly, avoided bowing and said: "No, the commander of the Osaka Agency also has difficulties, you must not say that." Zhang Jingyao is very clear about the virtues of Japanese people. They look very polite but they don't recognize them. If Osako Tongsadaji had a grudge against him, he would be in trouble after Itagaki Seishiro left. Seeing this, Itagaki Seishiro's face looked better, and he said to Zhang Jingyao: "Zhang Jun, just contact Section Chief Hase Ryosuke for the following matters. I will give you 7 million in activity funds, and you must speed up the work of instigating rebellion." 7 million! Zhang Jingyao and Hase Ryosuke's eyes lit up, and they looked at each other with evil intentions at the same time. Osako Tosada was so angry that his teeth itched. In his opinion, there was no need to give the Chinese so much money, just use cannons and bayonets to make them surrender. . "Zhang Jun, the military and political officials in North China can be divided into the regular faction, the abnormal faction, the status quo faction, and the two-end faction. We must use the last three factions and the remaining forces of the Beiyang warlords to speed up the process of founding the country in North China. These 7 million people You can use it boldly, and we can add more," Seishiro Itagaki assured Zhang Jingyao proudly. Zhang Jingyao was almost in tears. What he gained from selling his country so hard was money and rights. The rights were still in vain, but the heavy money was finally in his hands. Zhang Jingyao vowed: "Chief of Staff, please rest assured, I will definitely instigate rebellion, contact my old troops to launch a rebellion, and cooperate with the Empire of Japan to completely occupy Peking and Tianjin! If I fail, please take my head." Itagaki Seishiro was satisfied, but felt a bit pity. If Yushuai was willing to cooperate, things would be much simpler. Now we can only rely on Zhang Jingyao, a lost dog, to try his best to divide and cut up the Chinese influence in North China. "Jun Zhang, as far as we know, the Jinling government has sent a team of agents for an unknown purpose. But you have to pay attention to your own safety. I don't think you will be in Jinmen during this time." Thinking of a piece of information he received, Itagaki Seishiro reminded Zhang Jingyao. Zhang Jingyao was shocked and nodded quickly. He was afraid of ghosts knocking on the door if he did something bad, so he had to guard against this. “Section Chief Hase, please accompany Zhang Jun to Peiping. The Special Higher Education Section of the Tianjin Consulate will send people to protect you. If Zhang Jun needs anything, you can contact me immediately.” Seishiro Itagaki ordered Ryosuke Hase again. Zhang Jingyao was well aware of his arrangement. Itagaki Seishiro was afraid that he would embezzle funds, but would this be useful? He remembered that Hase Ryosuke had spoken to him and smiled inwardly.
