Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Seeing that Zhou Zhengqing was still shocked, Jingren continued, "Of course, conquering China in three months might be a boast by the military.

Your Majesty believes that within half a year, or at most half a year, the military will surely achieve victory.

But whether it is three months or half a year, this is something Your Majesty cannot bear to see.

Although conquering China is also what Your Majesty wants to do, and expanding the territory of our Great Japanese Empire is what he is ready to do.

But His Majesty hopes that the time of victory and the time of achievement can be controlled by him personally. This way, there will be enough time for His Majesty to arrange some things and prevent the military from becoming completely out of control. "

When Zhou Zhengqing heard Jingren say that it would take three months or half a year to conquer China, he felt disdainful, but he didn't have time to think about it now.

"Prince, do you think I'm a fool? What can I do with my weak arms and legs? I'm even holding the military back! I'm afraid my ashes will be scattered all over the place!" Zhou Zhengqing sneered.

"Hey! How can it be small arms and legs? Even if the Takazaki family has legs, they are big and thick legs. They still scatter your ashes? Whoever dares to do this, the Takazaki family will probably dig up the other party's ancestral graves and whip the corpse." Jingren raised his eyebrows and said.

"Hmph, even if I dig up people's ancestral graves afterwards, I'll be dead too! I won't do it! Go find whoever you want, but don't come find me!" After Zhou Zhengqing finished speaking, he lay down again, but his heart was in turmoil.

The emperor, the military, and, uh, the nobles, these three forces seem to have some major conflicts.

From Jingren's words, we can hear that the emperor intends to put the nobles in the front to help him suppress the development of the military, while he can continue to stay in the back to control the overall situation. This is really the emperor's usual style. It is always others who do things, and all the credit is his.

From what Jingren said, the nobles should be on the side of the emperor.

However, Zhou Zhengqing learned from Lingzi that Itai Yudai had once sent a top-secret telegram to the Takazaki family.

The content is equivalent to rebellion!

However, the Takazaki family not only did not rebuke or stop such a telegram, but instead asked Reiko to bring a guarantee, promising that even if Itai Yudai failed, he would be able to preserve his family's promise!

What does this mean? This means that the aristocracy is equally ambitious! Their appetite is equally huge! They have the ambition to swallow up the entire Japan in one gulp!

On the surface, the Takazaki family may have reached some kind of agreement with the emperor, allowing the playboys in their family to come out and wade into this muddy water to help the emperor hold back the military.

But in reality, he even encouraged Itai Yudai to drag him along to do big things together!

It's obvious that they want to make a three-way bet!

On the one hand, they maintained close ties with the military. Even Takazaki Takuto's second sister, Takazaki Reimi, married a high-ranking military family and maintained good relations with many important military figures. Not only the Takazaki family, but other noble families also used various means to maintain close ties with the military.

On the one hand, they showed loyalty to the emperor. Not only was Takazaki Motoori, the head of the family's own son, secretly helping the emperor, but even himself, the most favored young master of the Takazaki family, was willing to contribute to the emperor and serve as his vanguard.

The third is that he thought that Itai Yudai could pull him in to give it a try. If he won, he would make a fortune. If he lost, it would not have much impact on the family because he had the first two choices as a foundation, so even if there was an impact, it would not be a big deal.

It really is...

Zhou Zhengqing didn't know what words to use to describe these wealthy families and nobles who only cared about interests and ignored family affection.

But think about it, this is normal. The Takazaki family was not a good family to begin with. It can be seen from the fact that Takazaki Motoku always maintained his playboy character but secretly helped the emperor with private affairs that the Takazaki family was very ambitious.

"Don't worry, His Majesty knows that your strength is still weak. Aren't you dissatisfied with the small number of military police you have and want to apply for a division of troops? This matter has become a joke among the top leaders. Everyone says that you are not young, but you are very ambitious." Jingren said teasingly.

"What? The Emperor can give me a division? Is he planning to let me raise the flag of rebellion? Or does he want me to lead my men directly back to Kyoto and purge the court?" Zhou Zhengqing became alert and asked quickly.

"Ahem, Yingqi-kun is really good at joking." Jingren smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Your Majesty means that the military police cannot be increased so much. The military police have too much power, and if there are too many people, all parties will have great opinions."

"Isn't it the same? I don't have the ability to influence the military's actions." Zhou Zhengqing said, spreading his hands.

"Hey, that's different. His Majesty didn't say that he would ask you to go to the battlefield and fight. You are in the military police system, so you still have a lot of room for maneuver, such as leaking information to China!"

"What?!" Zhou Zhengqing couldn't hold it in any longer, and screamed in his heart, could it be that the emperor has no scruples at all for the sake of power! !

"Don't be so surprised. It's not like all intelligence is leaked. Depending on the situation, occasionally revealing some key intelligence should be able to have an impact on the military's actions."

"No, I don't have any information at all, and I don't know anyone from the Chinese side." Zhou Zhengqing refused immediately. Although he didn't think Jingren would cheat him, it was still better to be on guard.

"I know you have no intelligence, so from now on, you will have a part-time job."

"Part-time job?" Zhou Zhengqing was puzzled.

"Before the end of June, the mainland will add a battalion of military police to the Harbin Military Police. Together with the existing battalion, there will be two battalions of military police, and you will be in charge of both battalions.

One of the battalions needs to stay in Harbin, and you need to arrange for someone to temporarily take over your position as captain.

As for you, Yingqi, you need to lead a battalion of military police to the North China Garrison Army Headquarters in Tianjin, and concurrently serve as the captain of the military police. You should wait for an opportunity to participate in the July operation and try to gain some merit for yourself. This way, you will have an excuse to upgrade your military rank."

"North China! Garrison Headquarters! Garrison! July!" Four words suddenly popped up in Zhou Zhengqing's mind! Instantly connected together, they formed the words "Lugouqiao Incident"!

Are you asking me to join the front line? This is dangerous! If I get shot with my weak arms and legs, I will die!

However, when Zhou Zhengqing thought of the three words "Lugou Bridge", he felt a little restless again!

"Why am I always the captain of the military police wherever I go? Can't I change my position? For example, I think the commander of the North China Military Police is good!"

Jingren rolled his eyes at Zhou Zhengqing and muttered, "A mere major, a lowly official, wants to be a commander? Haha."

Although Jingren's voice was not loud, Zhou Zhengqing could still hear it and immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Hey, hey, hey, at least look at yourself. You are only a second lieutenant, how dare you talk to your superior like that!"

"Do you understand the Army's promotion and suspension system?

Don’t you know that someone like me who followed the proper procedures became a second lieutenant after graduating from the Army School?

That’s right, you haven’t even graduated yet, so of course you don’t know what’s going on with us graduates!

After I stayed in the army for two years, I entered the Army University as a second lieutenant and graduated as a captain.

Then after serving in the army for four years, you can be promoted to major, and then every two years, you can be promoted to colonel in ten years at most!" Jingren said proudly.
