Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

"That means the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are all good-for-nothings!

There are so many intelligence agencies in the Empire!

Even the gendarmerie of a city in Manchukuo could get information from businessmen, but they didn't hear a single word about it!

Trash! They should all commit seppuku to apologize for their crimes!"

Shan Shanyuan roared loudly.

"General, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. We should first consider what to do! Should we protest to the Soviet Union immediately, or..." Umezu Mijiro said, looking at the telegram in Sugiyama Moto's hand.

"Humph, protest! If I dare to suggest that the Empire protest, the people's saliva will drown me! The Kwantung Army is still fighting the Soviet Union, and I'm going to protest at this time! Do you want everyone to think I'm weak!

And those damn Soviet Russians, when have they ever paid attention to any protests!

Look at what the kid from the Takazaki family said in the telegram: Conquer the Soviet Union! Force them to give up cooperation with the Chinese! Use corpses to cover Moscow!

You see, compared with this attitude, if I propose to protest, then I will no longer be the Minister of the Army. I should step down immediately and maybe I can save some face!" Shan Shanyuan said loudly, waving the telegram in his hand.

"General, Major Takazaki's attitude is certainly commendable.

But if we really do this, what will happen to the upcoming war against China? We have been preparing for this, so can we change our target to the Soviet Union?

And can we really force the Soviet Union through tough measures? What if it backfires? "Meijiro Umezu said with some concern.

After hearing what Umezu Mijiro said, Sugiyama Moto's momentum deflated a little, and he sat back heavily in his office chair.

After a long while, Shan Shanyuan stood up again and said, "No, I have to talk to Prince Zairen about this matter first and listen to his opinion."

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

That night, in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, in the same meeting room.

There were obviously fewer people coming this time than last time. Only a few key figures from the army and navy came. Of course, the Prime Minister must be present.

At the same time, an unexpected person also came to this meeting room.

This time the emperor did not deliberately leave these people alone, but sat in the first seat and waited early.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?" The emperor looked at the generals of the army and navy kneeling on both sides with a stern face.

But none of the generals from the army and navy intended to speak, including the two princes from last time. Everyone turned their eyes to a young man in a suit and tie standing next to Prime Minister Hayashi Senjuro.

He wore a pair of black-framed glasses and had a loose-cut haircut, which was different from the Japanese men's hair at that time. It was a Japanese middle-parted hair, and there was always a faint smile on his fair face.

This person looks gentle and refined, but his narrow eyes and slightly upturned mouth corners give people the feeling that he is a gentleman.

Takazaki Takumi!

He is the elder brother of Zhou Zhengqing's original body, Takuto Takazaki. He is now 30 years old, married, and serves as Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Takasaki Takumi smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, our Foreign Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is on a diplomatic mission to European countries, and several other seniors have important matters and cannot get away, so only I, a junior, can represent the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to attend the meeting."

Prince Jae-in said with a smile, "You are too modest. I heard that you are already able to stand on your own in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You are very capable. I believe that in a few years, you will be able to compete for the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is not a bad idea, hahaha."

"Yes, since the matter involves the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is normal for Master Yingzaki to participate on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Yuheng Yicheng echoed.

Seeing this, the others also spoke up to express their friendship. This man was the next head of the Takazaki family, so it was very necessary to have a good relationship with him.

After dealing with everyone, Takasaki Takumi pushed up his glasses and said, "According to the information sent by Takuto, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately contacted our people in the Soviet Union to confirm the accuracy of the information."

"What are the results of the verification?" asked the emperor with a frown.

"Your Majesty, the intelligence is true, they are really discussing arms purchases!

Here, on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I would like to admit my mistake to Your Majesty and all of you. It is because we did not do our job well that such an oversight occurred.

If Takuto hadn't obtained the information, the consequences would have been disastrous." Takasaki Takumi bowed and said.

However, when others heard what Takumi Takazaki said, it seemed that Takumi Takazaki was taking the opportunity to admit mistakes on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to keep mentioning the contributions of his younger brother Takuto Takazaki!

It really seems like a case of sacrificing public power for personal gain! So the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is wrong and your brother is the winner, right?

But everyone just thought about it in their hearts and didn't dare to say anything.

"You don't have to admit your mistakes on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You are not in charge of intelligence work. The people who are specifically responsible must be held accountable afterwards."

The Emperor said expressionlessly, then looked at Prince Zairen and asked, "Since the intelligence is true, what are you going to do? Does the Empire have the ability to stop the bombers from coming?"

"Well, Your Majesty, if you want to stop the enemy aircraft 100%, I dare not make such a guarantee, but as long as we know the opponent's take-off time and target, and intercept them midway, there is still a high probability of interception.

However, we cannot focus all our energy on defending against bombers that may come at any time." Prince Zairen said with a wry smile.

"That means that once China buys enough bombers, the empire will be under the threat of bombs from the other side? Even the Imperial Palace cannot be guaranteed to be safe, right?" The emperor's voice became louder and louder as he spoke.

Prince Xianggong of the navy came out quickly and said, "Your Majesty, our navy can send warships to guard the outer sea around the clock to keep an eye on the invading enemy at all times."

Shanshan Yuan also said quickly: "We can send reconnaissance planes to patrol around Kyoto regularly, and we will definitely be able to find the bombers before they arrive in Kyoto."

"What about other cities? What should they do? Just let the bombs fall on the people!" the emperor questioned, then looked at everyone and said, "Why didn't anyone say anything about stopping China from buying planes from the Soviet Union? Why are you all avoiding this issue?"

Hearing the emperor's question, everyone fell silent.

Whenever we talk about this issue, we can't avoid mentioning what attitude we should take towards the Soviet Union: protest? Or use tough measures to intimidate?

In fact, most people present tended to believe the former, but no one dared to bring it up.

"What? Are you all mute? Or have you all been in high positions for so long that you have lost your original courage? Even something that Takuto Takazaki dared to think of, but you are hesitant!" The emperor continued in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, I have also read the telegram from Takazaki that said he was a major. His methods are too radical and too idealistic. Once a large-scale battle breaks out between the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Union, it will inevitably affect the Empire's war against China!"

Shan Shanyuan bowed and said that what he said was exactly what many people present were thinking.
