Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

"So, the emperor originally didn't agree?" Zhou Zhengqing asked.

"It's not that we don't agree, but the emperor feels reluctant to use Yuko as a bargaining chip." Jingren shrugged.

"Isn't it better if you don't want to? I don't want to anyway." Zhou Zhengqing suddenly said tentatively. He was a little skeptical about Jingren's statement that it was the Takazaki family who asked the emperor to marry their daughter.

"What do you mean you don't want to? The Emperor has agreed. Okay, why are you saying so much! Anyway, you must get engaged to Yuko! As long as you agree, your father can be released from confinement immediately." Jingren said anxiously.

Zhou Zhengqing's mind was in a mess at the moment. There was too much information to digest completely at once.

However, he felt that his engagement was definitely not as simple as Jingren said, it was for the purpose of protecting himself.

Jingren said so much before, mainly to explain why the Emperor wanted to interfere with the military, rather than to explain why he wanted to get engaged.

Finally, when talking about his engagement, he simply said that it was to protect himself. Unlike the detailed explanation before, this statement was too simple and more like a perfunctory one.

He also repeatedly used the excuse of releasing Gentoku Takazaki.

Why did the Takazaki family insist on getting engaged to Princess Yuko? Was it to rescue Takazaki Motoku?

Or was it that Jingren was not telling the truth, and it was the Emperor's Takazaki Motosuke who was threatening him, insisting that he get engaged to Princess Yuko? In that case, what was so great about him that made the Emperor willing to use his daughter as a bargaining chip?

"Give me a few minutes to think about it!" Zhou Zhengqing, who was just an ordinary person, said this, closed his eyes, and began to carefully sort out the large amount of information that Jingren said in his mind.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

At this time, Makito Koichi, who was guarding the door of the operating room, saw Kinuo Fumi who came hurriedly.

"Makito-kun, how is that kid Takuto? Huh? Where is the prince? Why is the prince not here?" As soon as Kinuo Fumi approached, he asked several questions in succession.

"The prince was called in by Master Takazaki's maid. The situation is still unclear and no doctor has come out to tell us the situation. However, Master Takazaki's subordinate said that Master Takazaki was shot in the middle of the chest, so..." Makito Yukiichi explained.

"Don't think too much about it. Now that the doctor hasn't come out, it means there is still a chance." Kinuo Fumio said with a gloomy face, and then winked at Makido Yukiichi, indicating that he should follow him.

Makido Koichi and Chikao Fumiaki were good friends, and one could tell what Chikao Fumiaki meant at a glance.

He glanced at Tojo Hideki and said, "Stay here and tell me as soon as you have any news."

Chikao Fumio also nodded to Tojo Hideki, then led Makido Yukiichi away. As for Doihara, he was completely ignored by the two.

He is just a chief sent out to collect intelligence. He is insignificant to the big guys like them at the center.

When the two of them came to a secluded place, Makito Koichi frowned and asked, "Why did you call me here so urgently? What is more important than Master Yingqi? We should wait for news at the door."

"When I came here just now, I noticed that people from the Fujita family were wandering around nearby, and people from the Sakura Group also appeared nearby. They did not avoid my sight. I was worried that something might happen." Chikao Fumio said worriedly.

"The Fujita family? Their showing up so openly is definitely not a good sign!

However, the Fujita family is a vassal of the Takazaki family. I guess their appearance here may be because they are worried that someone will do something bad to Master Takazaki, so they came out to monitor whether there are any suspicious people around.

As for this Sakura Group...! Oh...we have to be careful."

When Makito Koichi mentioned the Fujita family, he didn't seem to be too worried, but when he mentioned the Sakura Group, he couldn't help but rub his temples, looking helpless and tangled. He turned to ask Chikao Fumi: "Can you go and get in touch with the people in the Sakura Group to see what they want to do?"

"Are you kidding me? You want me to get in touch with those people? If others find out, how can I stay in politics? I'm going to form a cabinet soon! How can I form a cabinet if others find out that I'm in touch with the Sakura Group?

I told you about their appearance because I wanted you to get in touch with them. After all, everyone knows what kind of existence the Sakura Group is in secret. It is most appropriate for you to get in touch with them, after all, you are from the Imperial Household Ministry."

"I'm not familiar with Takazaki Gentoku, and I don't want to know who he belongs to, and I don't dare to get involved! You're harming me by asking me to contact the Sakura Group. I think I should quickly send a telegram to His Majesty the Emperor to let him know that the Sakura Group appeared in Manchukuo."

"Don't! Don't send it. What if the Emperor originally wanted the Sakura Group to come to China? In recent years, the Emperor has been very annoyed with some people in the Manchukuo government. It is possible that he will ask the Sakura Group to deal with it specially. You can't break this window paper.

What I am worried about now is that if Takazaki Motoku knows that his son was assassinated, will the Sakura Group go crazy and do whatever it wants? This is what I am most worried about. You can ask around. Those people may give you some face because they see that you are from the Imperial Household Ministry." Chikao Fumi whispered, expressing his concerns.

"What face can I have? I'm just a secretary of the Imperial Household Ministry! Don't think too highly of me." Makito Yukiichi said anxiously.

"Hey, what should we do?" Jinwei Wen sighed, then turned his head to look in the direction of the operating room, and said faintly: "If Xiao Takuto is okay, then everything can still be turned around. If something goes wrong..."

"If that moment ever comes, we should escort the prince back home as soon as possible. Manchukuo will definitely be turned upside down, and the Kwantung Army... hehe..." Makido Yukiichi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Kyoto, Army Ministry Office.

General Terauchi Juichi, 58, then director general of army education, was chatting in the reception room with Honjo Shigeru, 61, former commander of the Kwantung Army and now military counselor.

The topic is how Honjo Shigeru, the hero who founded Manchukuo, acted as a "matchmaker" in November last year to choose a spouse for Puyi's younger brother Pujie from among the women of Japanese noble family origin, and finally facilitated this political marriage despite Puyi's opposition to the move.

Less than a month later, a law of succession was concocted that allowed the throne to be inherited by the son of the emperor's younger brother.

Terauchi Hisaichi kept expressing his admiration for Honjo Shigeru's unique vision. This move could immediately intimidate Puyi, who was becoming increasingly "disobedient", and make him understand that Japan still had many options.

Just as the two of them were praising each other.

A colonel hurriedly pushed open the door of the reception room and walked in.

"General, there is an emergency." The colonel said anxiously.

"Colonel Suzuki, didn't you see that I was talking to General Honjo? You came in without even knocking. That's really rude!" Terauchi Hisaichi scolded with a stern face.

"Terauchi-kun, this colonel is so anxious, there must be something urgent. Why don't we listen to what he says?" Honjo Shigeru smiled and helped Colonel Suzuki in front of him out of the dilemma.
