Upon hearing this, Sakurako straightened her back immediately and pointed her slender finger at Nanzao Yunzi: "She has something to ask you, and Sakurako just came here to serve her." She blinked her innocent big eyes, and the words "honest and trustworthy" were written all over her face.

The corner of Nanzō Yunko's mouth twitched slightly.

When she caught a glimpse of the cold light on Sakurako's cuffs, she immediately looked away as if she had been scalded.

"Miss Yingzi is right. I want to discuss something with you."

Zhou Zhengqing looked at Nanzō Yunko with a smile: "Oh! Tell me, what's the matter?" Zhou Zhengqing nodded without comment and asked.

"It's about the handling of Kazuki Seiji." Nanzō Yunko bowed slightly, her slender fingers unconsciously stroking the cuffs of her military uniform. Her voice was very low but every word was clear.

She suddenly raised her eyes and spoke quickly and firmly, "I suggest setting up an ambush while Chief of Staff Nakamura is being escorted."

After saying this, Nanzō Yunko walked over to the map of Tianjin hanging on the side and drew an arc on it: "General, please look, at this fork in the road, we can pretend to be anti-Japanese elements.

"We'll have the Special High Police's elite troops ambush at the commanding heights on both sides. We'll not only create chaos, but also ensure a foolproof plan." Her fingernails tapped lightly on the map. "Take advantage of the chaos to secretly transfer Kazuki Seiji, just like... just like we did with Doihara."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhengqing subconsciously glanced at Yingzi who was looking well-behaved next to him.

Could it be!? ?

No wonder! . . .

"I remember it was you who reminded me to keep Xiangyue Qingsi from talking nonsense, so I deliberately controlled him." Zhou Zhengqing narrowed his eyes and said hesitantly, "Isn't it too hasty to suddenly change strategy and kill him to silence him now?"

"General, the situation has changed. General Terauchi Hisaichi will arrive in Tianjin in two days. All perfect plans cannot stand the test of time. I am worried that the longer we stay awake, the more trouble we will cause." Nanzō Yunko said earnestly.

"What if I don't agree?" Zhou Zhengqing looked at Nan Zao Yunzi while suppressing his smile.

"General! Young Master... I... I'm really thinking about you." Nanzō Yunko put on a pitiful expression, and glanced at Sakurako several times out of the corner of her eyes. Her movements were so big that anyone could tell that something was wrong.

"I'll think about it." Zhou Zhengqing raised his eyebrows and said calmly.

"Young Master..." Nanzō Yunko called out in a drawn-out tone.

Zhou Zhengqing took it all in.

After coughing twice, he finally said, "Alright, Kazuki Seiji has to be dealt with in the end anyway, but remember to communicate with Nakamura Shunsuke and the others, don't let me accidentally hurt too many people!"

"Hi." A hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "I will definitely get it done. Please wait for my good news!"

"Well, go ahead." Zhou Zhengqing waved his hand.

Nanzō Yunko bowed and turned to leave the office.

"Young Master, Huizi might be looking for me, so I'll go over and take a look first." Seeing Nanzō Yunko leave, Sakurako immediately said, with a hint of urgency in her tone.

"Well, you should go too and take good care of Huizi."

After getting permission, Sakurako turned and left.

"Although it's still a bit lawless, you should ask for instructions before taking action. Tell me if there's been progress." Zhou Zhengqing's faint voice sounded, causing Sakurako to pause.

I turned around cautiously and saw Zhou Zhengqing looking down at a document on the table.

Sakurako clapped her hands at the airport, nudged Zhou Zhengqing with her nose, stuck out her tongue, bowed, and tiptoed out of the office.

The moment the door closed, Zhou Zhengqing's lips curled up into a helpless smile.

Kazuki Seiji was going to die anyway, and now that he was targeted by Sakurako, if his life was worse than death, it could be considered as a way to get some compensation for the people who died in Peking and Tianjin.

August 1937, 8, Tianjin Japanese Concession

The artillery fire from the Battle of Shanghai was still roaring on the Shanghai beach, and the fighting on the Nankou front had not stopped.

And in the seemingly peaceful concession of Tianjin, a carefully planned ambush suddenly broke out.

The sound of gunfire tore through the silent streets, and bullets drew deadly arcs in the air.

The convoy of the garrison commander, Seiji Kozuki, was attacked. The military police escorting Seiji Kozuki and his entourage were suppressed by intensive firepower before they could react.

In just a few minutes, the vehicle was blown up and the soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

In the chaos, Kazuki Seiji was forcibly dragged out of the car and then disappeared deep into the dark alley, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Chief of Staff Gun Hashimoto, struck by multiple bullets, collapsed beside a car, his uniform soaked in blood. Military police desperately rushed him to a hospital, but he was severely wounded and died.

Hiroichi Takeda was hit in the chest and abdomen by bullets and was seriously injured, but after emergency surgery, he barely saved his life.

Several senior officers of the garrison headquarters were also attacked and were either killed on the spot or seriously injured and in critical condition.

The gendarmerie also suffered heavy losses, with more than twenty elite soldiers killed in the exchange of fire.

The Chief of Staff of the Military Police Headquarters, Shunsuke Nakamura, was shot in the right arm and bleeding profusely, but he still gritted his teeth and commanded the remaining troops to fight back.

The captain of the weapons service team who participated in the operation, Daichi Ogura, was shot several times and fell in a pool of blood, dying.

The disappearance of Katsuki Seiji, the death of Hashimoto Gun, and the casualties of many senior military officers made the already tense situation in North China even more confusing.

. . . . .

Watching Shunsuke Nakamura and Daichi Ogura being pushed into the emergency room, Ken Nakagawa and Yudai Itai stood at the corner of the corridor and talked in low voices.

The smell of disinfectant mixed with the smell of blood filled the air.

"Ogura-kun really values money over his life!" Ken Nakagawa took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes and said in a low voice, "He's really trying too hard in this play." He held the cigarette in his mouth and struck a match to light a cigarette for Yudai Itai first.

Itai Yudai leaned against the wall, a few drops of blood still stained the cuffs of his uniform. "Our Chief of Staff Nakamura is no less worthy. For that little subsidy, he actually took a bullet himself." He smiled bitterly and shook his head. "These days, even a lieutenant colonel is so desperate to make extra money. Who would believe it if I told you that?"

"Hiss... Hey, don't say anything." Nakagawa Ken lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. After exhaling the smoke, he continued, "The Chief of Staff got shot. It was really a real scene!"

He made a gunshot gesture: "Bang, this shot is worth at least half a year's allowance, right?"

"It's all because of poverty!" Itai Yudai shook his head in amusement. "I just don't understand. Nakamura-kun is a lieutenant colonel, chief of staff. His monthly allowance is enough for an average person to live for half a year. Why is he so greedy for money?"

The sound of a nurse's footsteps came from the end of the corridor, and the two immediately fell silent.

After the footsteps faded away, Nakagawa Kencai said seriously: "Of course a rich kid like you doesn't understand.

Nakamura-kun sends his allowance back home every month. I heard he has five younger siblings to support back home. After a pause, Nakagawa Ken continued, "To be honest, I admire him a lot. He's a guy who values family."
