"How many?"
Shinozuka Kazuo was stunned.
He originally thought that the casualties of one division would be considered the limit.
He had even made preparations for a total of 50,000 casualties.
As long as it doesn't exceed this standard, he can cover it up.
But I never expected that things would turn out to be so corrupt.
The total number of casualties has reached 520,000.
It was ten times larger than what he expected.
Moreover, the casualties were all Japanese soldiers.
Not those mixed brigades.
Even if it's just second- and third-line troops.
This level of casualties can also be called devastating.
If he really dared to report the number of casualties.
The emperor could come and chop him with a sword himself.
At this time, Shinozuka Kazuo's mind was buzzing and in chaos.
Don't know what to do.
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the receiver.
"Fujii, what are you doing? I'm just making a routine report to Commander Shinozuka. Do you want to destroy the evidence?"
"You traitor, the empire will never forgive you!"
Then came the bang, bang, bang of gunfire.
Then the signal was cut off.
"Hello? Hello! Baga!"
Shinozuka Kazuo threw the receiver on the table angrily.
No matter how stupid he is, he can guess that something is wrong there.
Fujii in Wei Wu's mouth is the division commander of the 25th Division.
It was airborne from above.
He is not a member of their original interest group. If there is anyone among them who is most likely to cause problems, it is undoubtedly Fujii.
Now, gunfire rang out over there. It must have been known to Fujii when Higashino Takeshi was reporting the situation.
Fujii wanted to kill someone and silence him.
Cover up culpability.
In an instant, Shinozuka Kazuo imagined a suspenseful plot and palace-fighting espionage blockbuster in his mind.
He wanted to know what was going on over there right away.
But he didn't dare to send a report for fear of disturbing Wei Wu over there.
I could only anxiously circle around the telegraph room.
After hanging up the communication, Wei Wu put away his gun.
He asked the people who were cooperating in the acting to leave and continue to eat hot pot with Lao Li.
After eating until dusk, Wei Wu wiped his mouth and asked the telegraph operator to call Shinozuka Kazuo clearly.
Shinozuka Kazuo was almost going crazy with anxiety.
When I saw the call coming, I immediately grabbed the phone.
"Higashino-kun, how is the situation?"
"Commander Shinozuka, my report to you about the true situation was discovered by Captain Fujii."
"He colluded with several division commanders to kill me. Then, he reported to the base camp that you were headstrong and mobilized the troops without authorization, which resulted in heavy losses and forced you to resign. He took advantage of the opportunity to rise to power."
"I was forced to fight back and accidentally killed him. Please punish me, Commander."
Wei Wu talked nonsense seriously.
"Kill well, kill well."
Hearing what Wei Wu said, Shinozuka Kazuo not only didn't get angry, but instead clapped his legs and applauded.
Fujii is not a member of the interest group he handpicked at all.
Rather, it was airborne from above to mix in sand.
The purpose is to monitor and suppress.
Although, I have been bribed with money and benefits before.
But who knows what little intentions the other person hides in his heart.
What if this guy took advantage of it and reported him back?
Anyway, Shinozuka Kazuo asked himself that he could do it.
Looking at himself and others, he must have felt that Fujii could do such a thing.
It is for this reason that he firmly believes in what Wei Wu said.
Moreover, the most terrible thing is that the plan mentioned by Wei Wu is completely feasible.
From the standpoint of that guy Fujii, if he really reveals this matter.
Let alone a marshal, Shinozuka Kazuo would have been hacked to death by the emperor on the spot.
His entire family would also be secretly executed.
Even exile is saved.
Then, Fujii will rise to the top and become the new theater commander because of his reporting.
Fujii has a position, a motive, and the ability to execute such a plan.
For Shinozuka Kazuo, Fujii was the bomb.
You never know when it will explode.
Therefore, Wei's military commander was not at fault when he killed Fujii.
For Shinozuka Kazuo, it was a great achievement.
"Very good."
Shinozuka Kazuo paced back and forth excitedly.
"Very good, you did a good job. As long as I get through this crisis safely, you will be the top priority. I will apply for the position of military commander for you."
Shinozuka Kazuo promised again and again.
He needs Wei Wu's support so much now.
If Wei Wu didn't support him, he would really be doomed.
Wei Wu was also very satisfied with Shinozuka Kazuo.
In Wei Wu's opinion, it was just right for a loser like Shinozuka Kazuo to stay in this position.
If someone were replaced, he would not be able to take the position of theater commander.
He even needs to re-organize and cultivate feelings.
In comparison, Shinozuka Kazuo is already fed and is easier to control.
"Commander Shinozuka, don't worry, your orders are everything. I will definitely help you kill all those rebellious officials and traitors, and I will never let any bad news about you spread out of the base and reach Tokyo."
Wei Wu looked loyal.
Shinozuka Kazuo was very moved by Wei Wu's statement.
This was the first time he saw such loyal and considerate subordinates.
"Very good, you are very good. When I abdicate from now on, this position will be yours."
Shinozuka Kazuo said movedly.
"Commander, I also discovered one thing. The reason why our army suffered such heavy losses this time was entirely because the Communist army knew our army's movements in advance."
"I have always suspected how the Communist Army learned about our army's movements. After careful combing, I discovered that we have Communist spies on our side!"
Wei Wu said.
"Is it Fujii?"
Shinozuka Kazuo asked quickly.
He needs to nail Fujii to the pillar of shame once and for all.
Therefore, whenever there is dirty water, pour it on Fujii.
"It can be Fujii."
Wei Wu suppressed his laughter and echoed.
"After my investigation, I found that there are two groups of spies colluding with the Communist army. One group is the interest group headed by Fujii, and the other group is the Black Dragon Society."
"These guys ignored the interests of the empire and revealed all the secrets of our army's operations in order to make money, causing heavy losses to our army."
"These are the people who should bear the greatest responsibility."
"I propose that the members of these two interest groups should be controlled immediately, tortured, the associated interest groups found out, and completely eliminated to eliminate pests for the empire."
Wei Wuyi said sternly.
This time, in addition to launching a plan to expand control of the base area and eliminate the Japanese army, he also had the purpose of taking advantage of the situation and pulling out the Black Dragon Society.
Since the Black Dragon Society dares to covet his property, they must bear his revenge.
Moreover, his goal is not just to destroy the Black Dragon Society in the southeastern theater.
Instead, the entire Black Dragon Society was uprooted.
Completely wipe it out.
"Is there any evidence?"
Shinozuka Kazuo asked quickly.
He has to write a report.
"You're being tortured and you're still worried that there's no evidence?"
Wei Wu said with a smile.
