Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Chapter 723: The Emperor's Secret Decree?!

Ishiwara Kanji raised his head suddenly as if he was burned by a hot iron!

That pale face instantly turned red with extreme anger and humiliation! A terrifying fierce light burst out from his dead eyes, staring at Okabe Naosaburo's face with a false mask.

His chest heaved violently, and a beast-like growl came from his throat. He suddenly shook off the hand of a guard who was trying to support him!

"Okabe Naosaburo!" Ishihara's voice was hoarse and cracked, like sandpaper rubbing against rusty iron sheets. It carried the shrillness and madness of a dying beast, completely tearing apart his usual calmness and wisdom: "You...you guys! Why are you pretending to be so hypocritical here?!

Why are you pretending to be confused?! What happened on Miyajima Street... Is there anyone in the entire front headquarters who doesn't know about it?! Huh?! Who doesn't know about it!!!"

His fingers trembled as he first pointed fiercely at the entrance of the villa, then suddenly pointed at the surrounding Special High Section agents, military police patrols, and the guards brought by Naosaburo Okabe.

The voice was so shrill that it almost tore his throat and the eardrums of everyone present: "Look here! Look! It's gone! All gone! That batch... that batch of Chinese treasures that His Majesty the Emperor entrusted to our imperial warriors with the painstaking efforts to collect!

The most precious items are right under the noses of your North China Front Army!

In the heart of your headquarters' direct jurisdiction! They took it all away like a chicken coop! You... you still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong?!

Are you here to laugh at me?! Huh?! "

"The Emperor's treasure?" The concern on Naosaburo Okabe's face receded like a tide, and was replaced by a sternness that was as cold as ice!

He took a sudden step forward, his military authority bearing down like an invisible mountain. His voice suddenly became icy cold, like the sound of metal clashing against stone. Every word was like a hammer hitting ice: "Section Chief Ishihara! Watch your words! Be careful! Be careful!!"

His gaze was like a torch, as sharp as a knife, piercing Ishihara Kanji's distracted and crazy pupils: "What exactly is the treasure you are talking about?!

Why involve His Majesty the Supreme Emperor?!

The North China Front Army was completely unaware of this matter!

On the contrary, some colleagues in the General Staff, with the "strong cooperation" of the former commander of the garrison army, Seiji Kozuki, transported a large number of precious items to Tianjin Port in the name of transferring cultural relics and protecting cultural assets, but they were reluctant to ship them to the imperial mainland warehouse for safekeeping!

The military has long had concerns about this matter!"

Okabe Naosaburo's voice suddenly rose, like a horn of judgment, carrying with it irrefutable authority and cold accusations: "According to reliable intelligence, some of the most core cultural relics with the greatest historical and artistic value have been secretly detained in Tianjin by certain people under the pretext of "special research", "safekeeping", and "needing the personal inspection of His Majesty the Emperor"!

It was not reported to the military for record, nor was it reported to the Imperial Household Ministry according to procedures!

Such behavior is tantamount to hoarding! The army is conducting a thorough investigation!

Section Chief Ishihara, as a senior advisor to the garrison troops at the time, you were involved in this matter throughout.

But don't forget, you are still the Chief of the Operations Section of the General Staff Headquarters! Don't forget your identity! Your roots are in the military!"

Okabe Naozo deliberately stretched out his voice, each syllable like a poisoned icy spike. "Were you aware of this matter? Were you involved? Or even... were you the one who issued the order for their detention?!"

Every word was like a knife! Every sentence pierced the heart! It stabbed Ishihara Kanji's most fatal and irrefutable weakness with precision and cruelty!

The charge of "secretly hoarding national treasures" was like a red-hot iron, pressing hard on him!

Ishiwara Kanji was hit by the sudden club and his eyes went dark. His body shook violently again and he only managed to avoid collapsing by holding on to the door frame.

The huge fear instantly overwhelmed him like a cold tide, and was then ignited by overwhelming anger!

He felt like a trapped beast that was forced into a desperate situation with no way to retreat. He just wanted to tear off the other party's hypocritical mask at all costs, even if it meant dying together!

“Completely unaware?!

"Hahaha! You're so clueless! Okabe Naosaburo! Do you really not know, or are you deliberately pretending to be deaf and dumb?!" Ishihara let out a shrill and creepy laugh, which was filled with desperate madness and endless resentment!

I came to China on the order of the Emperor, but I didn't expect that after receiving the secret letter that Takeda Koichi had someone convey, I rushed back to Tianjin, but in the end I was a step too late!

His career might end because of this!

Thinking of this, Ishiwara Kanji suddenly straightened his shaky body, his bloodshot eyes were like two red-hot charcoal balls, staring at Okabe Naosaburo, as if he wanted to eat him alive and grind his bones to ashes!

"Open your eyes and look! Look at this scene! Look at the method! Apart from the people within your army, who else can interrogate the location of the secret room so accurately?

I've known for a long time that you've been interrogating the top brass of the garrison! You're looking for these things, right? "

Nanzō Yunko, who was hiding aside and trying to reduce her presence, blinked her eyes and the smile on her lips became even more pronounced when she heard this.

If she hadn't gone through harsh training, she would probably laugh out loud right now.

She never expected that Takeda Koichi would actually send a letter to Ishiwara Kanji, probably telling Ishiwara Kanji about Okabe Naozaburo's interrogation about cultural relics.

This prompted Ishiwara Kanji to rush to Tianjin, and he blamed the theft of cultural relics on Okabe Naosaburo.

It’s wonderful...

Nanzō Yunko felt a sense of relief throughout her body, a kind of joy that came from an unexpected surprise.

As for Ishiwara Kanji, he was using up all his remaining strength, roaring like a dying beast. His voice was hoarse but carried a devastating penetrating power: "Those things! Those most precious things!

That was the secret decree personally given to me by His Majesty the Emperor's Minister of the Interior, His Excellency Makito Koichi!

This is a personal gift from His Majesty! It is an exquisite treasure that was carefully collected from the land of China by the elite of our empire!

It was to be presented to the Emperor for his inspection during the Emperor's birthday or other major celebrations! To appease His Majesty! To demonstrate the Empire's achievements in civil and military affairs!

What do you, the North China Front Army, want to do?! Huh?! You've been coveting this for a long time, right?!

Did you secretly instigate someone to do this?! Are you trying to appropriate His Majesty's favor for yourselves?! Are you trying to use His Majesty's treasures to curry favor with certain individuals?!

Or do you want to use this to bring me down?! Tell me! "

"The Emperor's secret decree?!"

The cold expression on Okabe Naosaburo's face instantly transformed into a look of extreme solemnity and shock! He suddenly stood at attention! His posture was as straight as a javelin, and his heels pressed together with a crisp clatter!

He raised his head slightly, his gaze seemed to penetrate the night sky, and cast towards the distant Tokyo Imperial Palace. His voice was loud and deafening, full of "awe" and "incredible": "Section Chief Ishihara! Be careful with your words! Be careful with your words!!!"

The Emperor's wishes and secret decrees?! How could such a supreme decree, so sacred and inviolable as to the Imperial family's dignity, not be issued through the formal channels of the Imperial Household Ministry?!

How could you privately entrust it to an active-duty military staff officer to carry out? ! Section Chief Ishihara! ! "

Okabe Naosaburo's voice suddenly rose, like a thunderclap, each word wrapped in a huge political storm and the cold logic of the noose: "You are now the Chief of Staff of the Military Operations Department! A senior official of the Imperial Military!

He was one of the core decision-makers of the Imperial War Machine! When you received this so-called 'secret decree', were the Minister of War and the Chief of Staff aware of it?

Is there a formal record in the military?! Is there an archive at the General Staff?! Does His Majesty the Emperor have a personal written order?! Don't you understand these basic procedures?!

He took a step forward, his posture still respectful, but his words were like a steel needle tempered by ice, accurately piercing Ishihara Kanji's most fatal flaw and the logical weakness that made him unable to justify himself at the moment: "As an active soldier, especially in the core of the empire's combat center.

A soldier holding the empire's highest military secrets, interfering in the affairs of the imperial family and privately conveying the emperor's will... Section Chief Ishihara, you bear a heavy responsibility and are well versed in political rules. You must understand the interests involved better than I do!

This is a serious violation of the Imperial Rescript to Soldiers and Sailors and the Imperial House Law! It is a great disrespect to the authority of His Majesty the Emperor! It is also a serious usurpation and destruction of the military system!
