Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Chapter 285: Matsui and Tsukada conspire to pass the buck

When Matsui received the news that the airport had been reduced to a sea of ​​fire and all fighter planes, bombers, fuel depots and ammunition depots had been destroyed, he spat out a mouthful of blood and almost died.

After finally recovering, Matsui realized that this must have been done by Zhang Yunhe and the gang of robbers. After all, he had only returned to the headquarters a few hours ago, and he was the only one who told Zhang Yunhe the news that the Japanese army was going to cross the river and attack at five in the morning.

Matsui's mind was working rapidly, thinking about how to find someone to take the blame for the bombing of the airport. After much thought, he realized that only the commander of the navy and air force was qualified. If he didn't find this person to take the blame quickly, once the news got out back home, he, the highest commander in Shanghai, would be held responsible for the matter.

Matsui immediately rushed to the bombed airport with generals and officers from the expeditionary force headquarters.

While still on the way, Matsui and others sitting in the car saw a doomsday scene in the direction of the airport: flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and smoke columns rose straight into the sky.

Even from a distance, one could smell the thick smell of explosion smoke and burning aviation fuel in the air, mixed with the smell of burnt meat.

When more than a dozen cars drove up to the airport gate, Matsui, Tsukada and other generals and officers got out of the cars and stared blankly at the scene where the airport runway and hangar were still burning.

The scorching heat made it impossible to get close. There were not many people left alive in the airport. They fled in panic, screaming in fear. Some people were on fire and rushed out of the fire, but they fell to the ground while running and never got up again.

Tsukada was furious. He grabbed a ground crew member who had just escaped from the airport and yelled, "Baga, why is this happening? Tell me!"

The ground crew saw that it was a general and tremblingly said, "General, General, we don't know what happened. We were still asleep and didn't know there was an explosion at the airport. Not a single fighter plane or bomber was left. They were all blown up. The ammunition and fuel depots were not spared!"

Matsui remained calm. He knew who had done it, but he couldn't let it show. His composure was terrifying. He stopped Tsukada and said, "Chief of Staff Tsukada, he's just a ground crewman. There's no need to embarrass him! Someone, go get the air force commander, Colonel Ryuzo Takenaka!"

"Hi!"

Before anyone could go looking for them, the commander of the air force, Colonel Ryuzo Takenaka, hurried over in a car. When he learned that Matsui, Tsukada and others had arrived earlier, he became very anxious and rushed over to meet them immediately.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff!"

Seeing that Takenaka Ryuzo's uniform was worn crookedly, his discipline buttons were not buttoned, and his hair was messy, Matsui, who had been very calm just now, walked up to him, grabbed his collar, and slapped him eight times in a row.

These eight slaps not only made Takenaka Ryuzo dizzy and his cheeks swollen like buns, but also felt like slapping other people's faces and hearts. Everyone present was trembling with fear, fearing that Matsui would hit them next.

Even after being beaten, Takenaka Ryuzo didn't dare to get angry or furious, let alone act rashly. He stood at attention and lowered his head, not daring to fight back.

Matsui cursed angrily, "As the commander of the air wing, why aren't you living at the airport with the pilots and ground crew? Did the Empire send you here just to enjoy yourself?"

"Look for yourself. The entire airport was bombed. Not a single plane was left. If you hadn't neglected your duties, how could this have happened?"

"Hi!" Ryuzo Takenaka stood at attention and lowered his head again.

Matsui yelled, "Come here, arrest Takenaka Ryuzo for neglecting his duties and put him in solitary confinement. No one is allowed to visit or approach him without my permission!"

"Hi!" An officer stood at attention and responded, then waved to several soldiers around him.

The soldiers stepped forward and took away the dejected Ryuzo Takenaka.

Matsui turned to look at Tsukada and asked, "Chief of Staff Tsukada, how do you think this happened? Was it human error or an accident?"

Tsukada thought for a moment, then walked over to Matsui and whispered, "Commander, if this was man-made, even if Takenaka Ryuzo was negligent in his duties, I'm afraid you and I can't escape some responsibility. The masters back home will definitely blame us for failing to defend the city!"

Matsui said, "You mean to classify this incident as an accident caused by the carelessness of airport staff? But with such a large airport, even if someone carelessly caused the explosion, it's unlikely to affect the entire airport!"

"Those guys back home aren't that easy to fool! Besides, in Shanghai, it's not like you and I can cover up everything. Although we have jurisdiction over several intelligence agencies in Shanghai, we can't completely control them. The news will definitely get back to China!"

After listening to this, Tsukada thought about it and felt that what Matsui said made sense. "So... what does the Commander mean?"

Matsui said, "Immediately form an investigation team to find out the cause of the airport explosion as quickly as possible. Let's first find out the cause of the incident, and then we can discuss it in detail!"

"Tsukada-kun, this time you and I are in the same boat. If we don't handle this well, not only will I be pursued, but you will also be implicated. So we must work together!"

Tsukada immediately stood at attention and said, "Hey, I will definitely follow your command, Commander!"

Under the arrangement of Matsui and Tsukada, a large number of personnel were immediately dispatched to extinguish the fire, and at the same time, capable personnel were drawn from various departments to conduct an emergency investigation into the airport explosion.

……

Ultra-high technology.

Tanaka Daiei was about to go upstairs when he got out of his car carrying his briefcase when Inoue Toshio, the head of the intelligence department, got out of another car and called out, "Mr. Tanaka, good morning!"

Tanaka Daiei turned his head and saw that it was Inoue Shunsei and nodded: "Good morning, Inoue-kun!"

Inoue Toshio immediately came over and whispered, "Sir, have you heard about the explosion at the airport this morning?"

Tanaka Daiei nodded and said, "I heard that this incident was very serious. Over 200 fighter planes and bombers at the entire airport, as well as ammunition and fuel depots, were blown up and burned to ashes!"

"I received a call from the Expeditionary Forces Headquarters at four o'clock. I had a three-hour meeting and just got back. They've already set up a special investigation team for this incident, pulling in talented personnel from various departments to investigate the cause of the explosion as quickly as possible!"

"Inoue-kun, the affairs of the Special High Technology Unit are quite complicated. I am burdened with heavy responsibilities and cannot get away. I would like to assign you to the Special Investigation Team. What do you think?"

Inoue Shunsei stood at attention and said, "Hey, I obey your orders!"
