"Sasaki, the next job of assisting the head of the agency will be left to you. Chief Matsui is very good to his subordinates. You are still an undergraduate student. If you work hard, you will be promoted in three years at most." In the Japan Pavilion, Fujita Susumu finished his day's work. Tadashi slowly walked out of the office building. His eyebrows stretched and his face exuded a high-spirited look. He told Koji Sasaki who was about to take over his post next to him: "Also, be sure not to go near the innermost room on the second floor. That's Doihara." Your Excellency’s office.”
People feel refreshed when happy events occur. Fujita Shintada's happy event was simple: he got promoted.
Fujita Shintada, who has been promoted to the rank of colonel, received a transfer order from the military headquarters today and will soon return to China to serve as the captain of the 68th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Division.
The transition from the intelligence system to the empire's front-line combat force was undoubtedly a surprise for Fujita Shinchu, who had great ambitions.
"Hi, thank you for your instructions, senior. Sasaki will definitely complete his job well, and I wish you success in assuming the position of captain of the 68th Regiment." Sasaki Koji, who has the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, bowed slightly and expressed his congratulations with a respectful face.
Fujita Shintada is not only his senior, he is also the absolute confidant of Director Matsui Tairo and is highly regarded. In addition, he also has the status of the 34th issue of the mainland.
His identity and experience are much better than that of this newly arrived Emperor University student.
It is said that Fujita Shintada once met His Majesty the Emperor in person.
"Okay, let's go. I'll treat you to a meal before I return home to celebrate your promotion and wish me my promotion." Fujita Shintada looked at Sasaki Koji's respectful and humble look and felt extremely satisfied. He patted his shoulder and smiled. said.
Koji Sasaki said quickly: "Senior, this meal should be served by this junior."
"There's no need for this. I just want to treat you to dinner. You can treat me again if you have the opportunity in the future." Fujita Shintada shook his head gently, with a firm attitude.
"Then I'll listen to you, senior." Seeing this, Sasaki Koji had no choice but to give up this opportunity.
The two left the office building, walked through the training ground, came to the gate, briefly registered their information, and left the Japan Pavilion.
The time is no more, no less, exactly five thirty minutes.
The Japan Pavilion and the Northern Hotel are about one kilometer apart, and they have to pass through three intersections on the way. After leaving the Japan Pavilion, Fujita Shintada and Sasaki Koji walked slowly on the street.
"Fujita-kun, I heard that there are two factions in the military, one hard-line and one cautious. General Gen Sugiyama believes that China is too weak to be vulnerable. As long as the base camp sends troops, it can be solved within three months. North China, and then capture China, this is the best time."
Sasaki Koji thought about the debate that broke out in the military department. He looked around and saw that no one was around. Then he asked Fujita Shintada: "General Ishihara Kanji and General Shibayama Kenshiro think the time is not yet ripe, because the empire must respond with all its strength." If the Soviet Union in the north rashly launches a full-scale attack on China, it may fall into a quagmire and change the empire from strategic initiative to strategic passivity. It may bring down the empire and should gradually occupy China. What do you think of the two factions?"
General Sugiyama Gen represents the hard-liners, and Major General Ishihara Kanji represents the cautious faction. During this period, the contradiction between the Army and the General Staff Headquarters was extremely prominent.
General Sugiyama Gen was confident that the best time to occupy China had come, and proposed to the emperor a three-month answer to solve the China problem. However, Kanji Ishihara believed that the risk was too high, and he should swallow the fruits of victory first and use the Heitin area. Build the Pingjin Industrial Zone with a strong economic foundation and industrial foundation, carefully manage and digest it, and feed back the tight domestic economy.
The war is about the economy. If the investment in launching the war is 10, then the economic return of winning the Pingjin area is 15. If you choose to fully invade China, the economic return will plummet to 1, or even be infinitely close to zero.
Ishihara Kanji, who has made a comprehensive inspection of rural areas in China, knows very well how poor these places are. They cannot achieve the positive cycle model of occupation-production-profit in a short period of time. Instead, they will always fall into occupation-no production-plundering- —The negative cycle pattern of continued occupation.
With China's unparalleled land area and depth, it is entirely possible that the empire will be dragged down.
The two opinions are at odds with each other. Currently, the all-out attack on China led by General Sugiyama Motodai has the upper hand. Many people do not believe that Japan will be brought down. They will gain unprecedented territory and endless wealth.
"Subjectively, I support His Excellency Sugiyama Moto, and objectively, I support Major General Ishihara Kanji."
Hearing this, Fujita Shinchu frowned slightly. He had some understanding of the recent situation of the military department. He shook his head slightly and replied: "China is indeed too big."
As the former head of the Peking Intelligence Division, Fujita Shintada is familiar with China's situation. In the long run, China's land and wealth can fully support the operation of the empire, but in the short term, because large areas of China's land are too poor, a comprehensive A war against China could indeed bring down the empire.
After thinking about it, Fujita Shintada continued: "Of course, if we must attack China in an all-out way, we should give priority to occupying China's mineral resources and big cities, attacking along the railway lines, Shanxi's coal mines, Shandong's gold mines, and Henan's cultivated land. , attack Nanjing and Wuhan from north to south, and destroy China in one fell swoop. I think this is why Mr. Sugiyama Moto will say that it will take three months to solve the China problem."
"Senior Fujita, what you said makes sense. With the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army, it shouldn't be difficult to do this. You will definitely have the opportunity to join the General Staff Headquarters in the future." When Koji Sasaki heard this strategic idea, his eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were filled with tears. A hint of adoration.
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. Let's go eat first." Fujita Shinchu smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he would go to the restaurant first and then chat. At this time, a young beggar in ragged clothes suddenly appeared in front of him and leaned under the banyan tree.
Seeing this teenage beggar, Fujita Shinchu showed a trace of disgust in his eyes. Even from five or six meters away, he seemed to smell a bad smell, a bad smell that was exclusive to the Chinese.
The whole person's good mood immediately dropped a lot.
Fujita Shintada took a deep breath, resisting the urge to get angry, and motioned to Sasaki Koji to move to the left. He didn't want his good mood to be completely ruined.
"Sasaki, if this beggar still appears in my sight after eating, do you know what to do?" Fujita Shintada asked Sasaki Koji.
"I know." Sasaki Koji still didn't understand the situation and nodded.
"Yes, it's really a damn thing..." Fujita Shinchu glanced at the beggar coldly, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
Before he finished speaking, at this moment, the young beggar who was leaning against the banyan tree suddenly raised his head and took out a Mauser pistol in his right hand hidden on his back. He held it in his left hand and quickly aimed the black muzzle at Susumu Fujita, who was close at hand. Koji Sasaki aimed at the torso and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Yes, this beggar-looking young man is none other than Xu Rui.
"Bang bang!" Before Fujita Shintada and Sasaki Koji could react, the firing pin hit the bullet primer hard, and two 7.63mm pistol bullets shot out like arrows, spinning at a high muzzle velocity of 425 meters per second, along the The trajectory spanned a short distance of 1.5 meters and accurately penetrated into the abdomens of Fujita Shintada and Sasaki Koji.
Immediately afterwards, all the four hundred joules of kinetic energy carried by the bullet poured out, making the bullet shred the soft internal tissue like a meat grinder, causing a terrible cavity effect.
The cavity effect of pistol bullets is far inferior to that of later small-caliber bullets, but even so, it is not something that human internal organs can withstand.
In an instant, Fujita Shintada and Sasaki Koji lost the ability to move and fell weakly to the ground. The two men looked at Xu Rui with unprecedented anger and ferocity, as if they wanted to tear Xu Rui into pieces. If time could Going back in time, he would definitely choose to carry an orderly.
"Bang! Bang!"
After successfully shooting and knocking down two people, Xu Rui had no expression on his face and didn't care at all about the other person's gaze. He aimed his gun at Fujita Shintada's heart and between his eyebrows first, and shot each one.
Two shots to the torso and one shot to the brain. The whole process is completed in one point and five seconds. This is the pistol shooting method taught to him by Yu Hua, called the Mozambique shooting method. The first two shots can make the target lose its combat effectiveness as quickly as possible, and the last shot can make the target lose its combat effectiveness to the greatest extent. Make sure the target loses any signs of life!
For this moment, Xu Rui trained tactical movements for two full months. He took out his gun, quickly aimed, and pulled the trigger. The entire shooting process was controlled in 1.4 seconds.
A new world record.
In an instant, blood burst out from Fujita Shintada's heart. Before he could react, a bullet penetrated the hard skull bones, entered the brain and tumbled. The blood mixed with the pulpy white brain tissue and slowly flowed out.
Next to him, Koji Sasaki, who still didn't understand what was happening, watched helplessly as his promising senior Fujita Shintada fell to the ground, losing all signs of life.
The first priority target, Shintada Fujita, was killed.
"Bang! Bang!" The next second, two short and loud gunshots were heard again, one in the heart and one in the middle of the eyebrow. Sasaki Koji, who had just taken over as the chief of the Peking Intelligence Section, felt his eyes go dark and lost all consciousness. and perception.
Six gunshots were heard in just five seconds. Xu Rui confirmed for the last time that Fujita Shintada was dead, then put away his Mauser rifle and retreated along the planned route.
After Xu Rui retreated, alarm bells rang loudly throughout Dongjiaomin Alley. The nearby British Pavilion immediately dispatched armed forces to the incident site and found the bodies of Fujita Shintada and Sasaki Koji. Soon, the news that the two men had been assassinated was like a hurricane. It swept across the entire Dongjiaominxiang and the entire Peiping.
Pingjin was shocked.
A colonel and a lieutenant colonel were assassinated in the street. The impact at this important juncture was not unimportant.
…
"Baga! Bastard! Stupid! The head of the intelligence department was actually found out and didn't even know his whereabouts. He went to the North Hotel for dinner at 5:30 every day. Is he a pig? Also, alone If he goes out alone without any orderlies or any protective force, doesn't he know that he is the pillar of the empire? He is simply stupid to the extreme!" Doihara, who received the news for the first time, almost went crazy and slapped him hard with his right hand. The table roared hysterically.
