In Tohoku Kai Castle, Sugiyamahara, who had just boarded the train, was preparing to take a rest after enjoying fresh sashimi and authentic sake.
Secretary Nakamura walked into the carriage with the telegram, "Your Excellency, Commander, telegram from Fengtian!"
"Oh? Did Fengtian know so quickly that I was about to go there? It seems that Matsumoto Shopu welcomed my arrival very much!"
Sugiyamahara has been in a good mood since landing in Haicheng. Although he cannot take up the post of minister of the local army as originally planned, the commander of the Kwantung Army is also a good position.
Especially when the plan to advance northward failed and there were no other missions for the time being.
Nakamura said with a strange expression: "General Matsumoto sent a telegram saying that the Fengtian Arsenal was stolen. All the weapons and ammunition produced in more than two months were stolen by the enemy."
"Baga!" Sugiyamahara was furious. Just as he was about to stand up, he sat down again.
Nakamura asked doubtfully, "Aren't you angry, Commander?"
"I haven't taken office yet, what does this matter have to do with me? The Fengtian Arsenal is the largest arsenal outside the empire.
The theft of such a large batch of materials is a major irreparable mistake for everyone. It would be nice to be able to recover it.
If they can't be recovered, the top executives of all Fengtian organizations will go to military court. By the way, did the telegram say who stole it? It should be some moth within us, right? "
"Your Excellency, Commander, I briefly mentioned it in the telegram, but I don't feel very good!" Nakamura had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"What's wrong?"
"It has snowed in Fengtian. After the weapons and ammunition were stolen, no clues were left at the scene. Except for a hole about two meters in the roof of the warehouse, there is no place for people to enter or exit!"
Nakamura finished telling the contents of the telegram and looked at Sugiyamahara carefully.
"You mean...?" Sugiyamahara asked with an extremely ugly face.
Nakamura nodded indifferently.
Sugiyamahara's body couldn't help shaking twice as he sat on the sofa, "No way, I just came to Tohoku, and they followed me, faster than me?"
Sugiyamahara stood up suddenly, grabbed the telegram from Nakamura, and read it carefully. After a while, he looked at Nakamura blankly.
"Is it too late for me to go back to my hometown?"
Nakamura was also panicking, but he still advised: "Your Excellency, Commander, the order from the base camp is for you to take office in Chuncheng and command the 250,000 troops of the Kwantung Army and the Manchukuo security forces to suppress the local resistance forces.
If you don't take office, I think your political opponents in the base camp will definitely make things worse! "
Sugiyamahara didn't know what was going on, but compared to his political opponents, Yama was much more intimidating.
Political opponents can cooperate at least, but Yama is deadly!
"Your Excellency Commander, we are still not sure whether Yama Luo did what happened in Fengtian. I think the most important thing now is for Fengtian to report everything that happened in these days.
We also have a basis for judgment. Yama's acting style is very special. As long as their reports are careful enough, we can definitely tell them apart. "
Sugiyamahara told Nakamura when he was in Peiping that Yama was always generous in doing things, and often left no trace.
Nakamura's words finally brought Sugiyamahara back to his senses. He agreed and said, "Hey, Nakamura-kun, I think you have grown a lot more than before.
After arriving in Spring City, I plan to appoint you as the security commander of the headquarters. What do you think? "
Nakamura was panicking. Yama always kills the guards first when he kills people. If he becomes a guard chief, he might be beheaded by Yama one day.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I was promoted by you. My pursuit in this life is to follow in your footsteps. As for promotion, I have no idea. Please approve it, Your Excellency, Commander!"
As an iron-blooded soldier, Sugiyamahara had a mind as hard as iron. He was moved by Nakamura's words. He said seriously,
"Nakamura-kun is the best soldier in the empire. I am very proud that you can become my secretary.
Well, since you don't want to be promoted, your military rank must be promoted. After arriving in Spring City, your military rank will be promoted to colonel! "
"Hi, thank you Commander!"
Sugiyamahara continued to ask: "The situation in Fengtian can only determine whether Yama has come to the Northeast, but our safety is still not guaranteed. What do you think we should do?"
"The train does not stop at Fengtian and goes directly to Chuncheng. When we arrive at the Kwantung Army Headquarters, I believe that Yama will not dare to break into the headquarters even if he is arrogant, right?
After all, they have no precedent of forcing their way in. As long as we take precautions, there should be no problem with safety! "
"Yo Xi, your analysis is very good. After arriving in Spring City, we will stay at the headquarters. Even if Yama comes to the Northeast, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke, there shouldn't be a big problem!"
Sugiyama thought of this and finally felt relieved. What he didn't know was that the Wengu brothers and sisters were originally going to take the prisoners from the Army Prison to the north by train.
It was only because of the martial law at Fengtian Railway Station and trains were stopped that they changed their escape method, otherwise...!
As soon as Murakachiro returned to the military police headquarters, the guard came in to report,
"Your Excellency, Commander, the military police have just received news that the expat store in the west of the city has been stolen!"
"If the store is stolen, just let the police station and patrol team deal with it. Why is it reported to me?" Murakachiro said irritably, thinking about something in his mind.
"Your Majesty Commander, what I'm talking about is that all the expatriate shops in Fengtian were stolen. As long as they were opened by merchants from our country, no matter the category, all the shops were stolen, and the shops and warehouses were stolen together.
Now all the shops of our country’s expatriates in Fengtian are closed. I heard that the expatriates have begun to gather, and they will come to the Military Police Headquarters to find you soon! "
The guard quickly explained that he didn't want to be slapped!
"Nani? Are you saying that all the shops owned by Chinese expatriates in Fengtian City have been stolen?"
"Hi!"
Murakachiro's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that this kind of thing could actually happen. There were at least a thousand expatriate shops in Fengtian, not counting their warehouses scattered throughout the city.
Now that everything has been stolen, who can tell him what kind of organization can handle such a huge workload?
The only possibility is that there is a problem within the army. The military police headquarters and the garrison are definitely fine, so the problem can only be with the security forces of Manchukuo.
Murakachiro thought of this possibility and immediately called Matsumoto Fuji. This was not something that the small military police headquarters could solve.
Fengtian's security army has a total of more than 60,000 people in two armies, the Japanese division has only more than 20,000 people, and his military police headquarters has only more than 1,000 people. There is no way to investigate this matter.
After Matsumoto Fuji received the call, he also began to doubt his life. The security forces were in chaos, and Fengtian City could become a battlefield at any time.
