"The country has expressed serious anger and ordered the missing people to be found immediately!"
Tetsuhiro Matsudaira almost roared there: "This is a major international incident. The Italian government and the British government have expressed great concern for the missing persons in their country and requested that the imperial government must ensure the safety of the missing persons!"
This "future of the Matsudaira family" was slapped hard on his first mission alone.
The head of an international visiting delegation was actually kidnapped in full view of the public.
One can imagine the amount of pressure he was under.
Even his father, Tsuneo Matsudaira, personally urged his son to resolve the matter immediately, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Not only the international influence, but also the domestic influence.
The daughter of Tsuneo Matsudaira married Prince Yoshihito of Chichibu Palace.
In addition to being the emperor's younger brother, this prince also has an unspeakable past.
In the early years of the Showa era, the Japanese military was divided into the Tōtō faction and the Emperor's faction. The Tōtō faction advocated that the military restrain the emperor, while the Emperor's faction advocated the emperor's dictatorship. Since Hirohito supported the Tōtō faction, the Emperor's faction hoped that Yongren would succeed to the throne.
However, in 1933, after the birth of Hirohito's eldest son Akihito, he was established as the crown prince. This hope came to nothing, so the Imperial Way faction found Yongren and hit it off. In 1936, they launched the February 26th Mutiny.
The purpose of this mutiny was to overthrow Hirohito, force Hirohito to step down, and support Yongren to succeed. However, it was eventually quelled by Hirohito, but Hirohito did not punish his younger brother Yongren, and many of the Emperor's soldiers who launched the mutiny were sentenced to death.
Although the emperor did not punish Yongren, the prince became a thorn in the side of the ruling faction.
Moreover, Yongren was about to participate in the war against China as an army lieutenant general. This was something the ruling faction did not want to see, but they could not find an excuse to oppose Yongren's service to the Empire of Japan.
However, the disappearance of the head of the international delegation and his wife gave them an excellent reason to prevent Yong Ren from regaining military power.
The delegation responsible for the Matsudaira family, Tsuneo Matsudaira, is Yong Ren's father-in-law, and Yong Ren is definitely not involved.
Tetsuhiro Matsudaira knows this all too well.
He was also more anxious than anyone else.
"A car from the U.S. Consulate entered the public concession before we issued a comprehensive blockade order." Kenji Doihara also knew the importance of this matter: "According to our judgment, the hostages may be in that car."
"The car of the U.S. Consulate?" Matsudaira Tetsuhiro was in disbelief: "You mean, the U.S. Consulate assisted in this kidnapping case? Mr. Doihara, do you know how much international influence this will have once you say it?"
"No, that's not what I meant, but the US Consulate was being used..."
Doihara Kenji didn't know how to explain it.
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro may be good at diplomacy, but he is a layman when it comes to intelligence work. It will be difficult to explain to him clearly in a short while.
"Listen, Lord Doihara." Matsudaira Tetsuhiro stared at the Shanghai spy leader: "I don't care what the situation is, in short, we must find the missing hostages in the shortest possible time. And what you said about taking the initiative Cooperation? Ridiculous, Roligani will take the initiative to cooperate with the Chinese? Mr. Doihara, what are you thinking in your head? "
Doihara Kenji was extremely angry.
This supporter of the Imperial Way Sect should have executed you all together in the first place. If Tsuneo Matsudaira wasn't a veteran diplomat, would you be sitting here giving orders today?
But no matter what, the Matsudaira family's noble title still made Doihara Kenji dare not make mistakes.
Doihara Kenji, who promised to solve the case as soon as possible, left.
Tetsuhiro Matsudaira sat there without saying a word.
what to do?
How should I explain it to my father and the country?
The phone rings.
"Your Excellency, I'm here to see you."
"who is it?"
"The other party refused to say anything. He just asked you to answer the phone. There is very important information to report."
"Oh, is it so?"
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro thought for a moment, then stood up and took the phone:
"I am Tetsuhiro Matsudaira."
On the other end of the phone was a man speaking with a fluent Kyoto accent:
"Sir Matsudaira, please don't ask me who I am. My situation is very difficult. I know that Roligani and his wife are missing, but I can tell you that this is simply a conspiracy."
"Conspiracy? Can you be more detailed?"
"Only by allowing the emperor to be a dictatorship can Japan truly become the world's leading power!"
As soon as the other party said this, Matsudaira Tetsuhiro immediately understood that the other party was also an Imperial Sect! He listened slightly nervously as the other party continued:
"Although we have failed, our power is still there. This is what those people are most afraid of. They are always trying to find ways to deal with us. You can think about it carefully. On the land occupied by the Japanese Empire, three How could a foreigner be kidnapped without anyone noticing? With so many soldiers and gendarmes, no one noticed?"
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro suddenly thought of something: "You mean, someone did this on purpose?"
"I have no evidence, and I don't dare to talk nonsense." The person on the other end of the phone was nervous in his words: "Why didn't there be any problems when the delegation came last time? But this time, the delegation in charge of Mr. Matsudaira was under heavy protection. Even the leader and his wife were kidnapped? Do you believe that this is not a conspiracy? Do you believe that those people want to use this opportunity to deal with us? "
Tetsuhiro Matsudaira suddenly realized.
Yes, why didn't you think of this?
The Japanese-controlled area was heavily fortified and full of soldiers from the Japanese Empire. How could a kidnapping happen so easily?
What else could it be that Roligani took the initiative to cooperate?
This is complete nonsense!
"There is a place where evidence may be found." The man lowered his voice deliberately: "Zhengjin Bank."
"Zhengjin Bank?"
"Yes, Ishishima Hiroshi, the chairman of Masaki Bank, has always been a sympathizer of His Excellency Jinzaburo Masaki, and you know this."
"I know. I heard that Shidao Kan almost lost his position because of this. In the end, he was sent from Tokyo to China, which is equivalent to a disguised demotion."
"Yes, please go to Zhengjin Bank immediately, but do not reveal your identity. Has Shi Daohuan seen you?"
"No, a little guy like him can't see me."
"Ah, then, when you go in, the code is, 'I'm here to meet the chairman, I am Shun Matsudaira.'"
"I'm here to meet the chairman. I'm Matsudaira Shun. I remember."
"Then so be it, Your Excellency."
"Wait, you really can't tell me who you are?"
"You will see me later."
The call was hung up.
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro sighed.
There are still true loyal ministers.
"I'm here to meet the chairman, I'm Shun Matsudaira."
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro firmly remembered this code...
…
Zhengjin Bank, 3 p.m.
Uchida Daxiang saw off another group of guests.
He is the lobby manager, but he has stalled in this position.
The robbery, which has not yet been solved, has delayed the future of many people.
Damn robbers.
Sooner or later you will be caught and executed!
A car stopped in front of the bank.
The two big men and the driver came out first, looked around, and then asked the people in the back seat to get out.
It looks very impressive.
But you will gain wisdom after suffering a loss. The robber leader was not as impressive that time?
So now Uchida Daixiang will always be wary of impressive people.
As the lobby manager, he greeted him politely: "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro calmed down and said in a very low voice:
"I'm here to meet the chairman, I'm Shun Matsudaira!"
There was a "boom", like a thunder exploding on Uchida Daixiang's head. He couldn't believe it and asked: "Tell me, who are you?"
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro was a little impatient: "I am Matsudaira Shun!"
Jun Matsudaira!
The culprit of the Zhengjin Bank robbery that caused a sensation in Shanghai, the thief king, did not use the name "Shun Matsudaira"!
Finally, Uchida Daixiang kept his calm: "It turns out to be Mr. Matsudaira, ah, you want to see our chairman, please wait in the VIP room."
"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."
…
"He said, is his name really Matsudaira Shun?"
Shi Daohuan, chairman of Zhengjin Bank, stopped what he was doing and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, he said, his name is Matsudaira Shun. But he looks different from that thief king."
"Baga!" Ishidaoka stood up: "Shun Matsudaira, Jun Matsudaira, I inquired later and found that there is no one named Jun Matsudaira in the Matsudaira family. Why does this person use this name? He must be related to that thief. What does it have to do with the king! Where is he now?"
"I have arranged him to the VIP room and stabilized him temporarily."
"Very good, call a few more people, bring weapons, and watch my moves!"
"Hai!"
…
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro didn't quite understand why so many people came to meet a chairman.
Ishishima Kuan stood in front of him with a very ugly expression: "Are you Matsudaira Shun?"
"Yes, I am Matsudaira Shun. Matsudaira Tetsuhiro answered as agreed.
"Who are you from the Matsudaira family?"
"My father is Matsudaira Tsuneo!"
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro said arrogantly.
"Your father, is Tsuneo Matsudaira?"
"Yes."
"And you are Shun Matsudaira?"
"Yes, as agreed upon I..."
"Snapped!"
Before Matsudaira Tetsuhiro finished speaking, Ishishima Hiroshi slapped him hard on the face.
"asshole!"
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro was stunned and covered his face: "How dare you hit me!"
Before his bodyguards could take action, several guns were already pointed at them.
"asshole!"
Shi Daohuan returned the word to him: "You still dare to pretend to be Mr. Matsudaira's family member, beat me! Beat me hard!"
The future of the Matsudaira family, Matsudaira Tetsuhiro, was pushed to the ground and beaten violently without any chance to tell.
These robbers are so courageous that they dare to pretend to be members of Mr. Matsudaira's family again and again.
Shi Daohuan's heart was filled with anger.
