094 Great Purge! Great Purge!

Fujiwara no Kanezane felt that the little red flower on his chest had become brighter after he secretly "slandered" the new Kwantung Army commander, Muto Nobuyoshi, and asked the Korean puppet army to take the blame.

"...Thank you, Mr. Fujiwara. After I take office, I will communicate with Mr. Lin Xin on this matter."

(Hayashi Senjuro, current commander of the Japanese Army in Korea)

"You're welcome, Lord Muto. This is my duty."

The two sides worked together for a while, and then the second and third planes arrived carrying a group of civil and military officials.

After a round of introductions, a short, middle-aged man with a pale face, a small mustache, a square face, and short hair came forward with a laugh and patted Fujiwara Kanezane's shoulder vigorously.

"Kaneshi! You did a great job! You did a great job!"

"..Uncle Minoruhiko, good morning."

The visitor was none other than Prince Higashikuni Toshihiko, the ninth son of Prince Kuni Asahiko. As Emperor Hirohito's empress was his niece, he was given the title of "Prince Higashikuni" and was known as "Prince Higashikuni Toshihiko". Since Hirohito nominally called him "uncle", Fujiwara no Kanezane, who was "Hirohito's brother-in-law", would undoubtedly also call him "uncle".

"Hey? How come you've become so sophisticated after coming to China?" "Hehehe... I'm 20 years old too!"

"It seems that you have indeed grown up... well, well..."

Minoruhiko didn't think much of it, believing Fujiwara no Kanezane's calmness was due to his age and the time he'd been handling various government affairs. After a few words, he returned with the others to the Kwantung Army's temporary headquarters in Fengtian City. As the incoming commander of the 2nd Division, like the new Kwantung Army commander, Muto Nobuyoshi, he would hand over his duties to Fujiwara no Kanezane, the current "temporary commander and temporary commander of the 2nd Division."

Naturally, after listening to the report, he, like Nobuyoshi Muto, began to praise his nephew 360° without any blind spots.

...During this time, I've mainly been maintaining my status quo. Aside from killing dozens of disobedient bastards, I haven't done anything else. I don't deserve your praise. "Haha, you've actually learned to be humble. You've accomplished such a great deed this time. When you return, His Majesty the Emperor will surely reward you..."

After hinting a few words, Min Yan changed the subject:

"Kaneji, I'm a little confused about your handling of Northeastern affairs this time..." "Leaked secrets, huh? I was discussing this with General Muto before you came."

"oh?"

"Yes."

Muto nodded and repeated what they had just discussed. Fujiwara Kanezane added:

"Although it may not be done by the Koreans, they may have provided shelter and cooperation. As you know, the resistance over there has never been a break. I suspect they will cause even greater damage." At the end of April, after the Japanese general and commander-in-chief of the Shanghai area, Shirakawa Yoshinori, was killed by Koreans in Shanghai, several people remembered Fujiwara no Kanezane's judgment and were amazed.

"Hmm...you mean, let my Second Division focus on North Korea?"

"That's your own judgment based on the actual situation, uncle. Actually, I have a more terrifying guess in my mind." "What?"

"Uncle Minoruhiko, General Muto, I suspect that within the Kwantung Army..." Fujiwara Kanezane lowered his voice:

"I mean, there's a traitor among us Japanese."

Both Minoruhiko and Muto Nobuyoshi's pupils shrank slightly.

In fact, it was not only Fujiwara no Kanezane who had this suspicion. Otherwise, how could he always accurately hit the pain points of Japan and the Kwantung Army?

Judging from the telegrams released by the Northeast National Salvation and Anti-Japanese United Army, they must have known a lot of top-secret intelligence. Who gave them this information?

If Fujiwara no Kanezane had not reacted quickly and effectively, the news that Puyi and the senior leaders of the Kwantung Army had been killed in the bombing would have leaked out, and the whole of Japan would have been in a state of disarray.

A large-scale rebellion will break out in Manchuria in a matter of minutes!

Fortunately, "Puyi" is still alive, and "Honjo Shigeru" and his men have simply been transferred back to China. "...Do you have a specific target?"

"Not yet. That's why I requested that all officers of the Kwantung Army be retained." "You suspect... the problem lies among them?"

"How else can we explain the leak?"

...But that belongs to our Great Japanese Empire..." "Have you forgotten the Japanese Communist Party?"

"You think there are Reds among them!?"

"I can only say one possibility. Only this group of people would do such an assassination regardless of the cost and the casualties." As he spoke, Fujiwara Kanezane lowered his voice:

"Think about what's happened recently! Every time I stabilize the situation, something goes wrong, and they carry out all my orders. So, what's the problem?"

Both fell silent.

This is indeed a suspicion that cannot be avoided.

Fujiwara no Kanezane was alone, and if he wanted to implement his ideas, he could only do so through the entire officer corps of the Kwantung Army;

However, every time they executed well, problems would arise immediately. It looked like someone was leaking information. "...I still find it hard to believe. The Second Division is the most powerful division in our country."

After all, most of the members of the Second Division came from Sendai, and they were known for their fearlessness and loyalty to the empire. How could there be a traitor among them? However, Minoruhiko was still very happy that Fujiwara no Kanezane thought so.

At first, seeing this guy desperately trying to protect the officers of the entire Kwantung Army, I thought he was just being kind, but it turns out he has his own plans... "So, this is just my guess."

Fujiwara no Kanezane nodded in agreement with Minoruhiko's idea, leaving a thorn in the hearts of both of them, and quickly ended the topic.

After a while, Muto Nobuyoshi left to discuss the future of the Kwantung Army and Manchukuo with the new Chief of Staff, Koiso Kuniaki, and the new "Manchukuo cadres," leaving the two royal family members in the room. At this time, Fujiwara no Kanezane closed the door and said mysteriously to Minoruhiko:

"Okay, now that the outsiders have left, we can talk about the rest of the topic."

"Huh? What?"

Minoru Yan said with a smile:

"What topic should we avoid talking about, Lord Muto?" "Uncle Minoruhiko, be serious."

Fujiwara Kanezane said seriously:

"I've read Chinese history, so I know a phrase called 'nurturing the enemy to protect oneself.'"

....

As soon as this word came out, Minoruhiko's eyes narrowed, obviously understanding Fujiwara Kanezane's hint, but he pretended to be stupid and said, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, with such a big incident happening in Northeast China this time, was it really just anti-Japanese elements causing trouble? Was it really just a few traitors?" "...Are you keeping them alive to test them?"

"Yes!"

Fujiwara Kanezane nodded heavily:

"I want to see what went wrong and whether it is what I guessed." "What's the result?"

"The interests of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria were so great that almost every soldier who came here made a fortune, especially those who came to Manchuria to do business with China, not to mention the officers."

"If all the birds and beasts are killed, good bows and hunting dogs will be useless. If there are no more bandits in Manchuria, then a strong army will still be needed.

"Perhaps the top officers don't have such thoughts, but what about the middle and lower ranks, even the ordinary soldiers? Do they want the anti-Japanese forces in Manchuria and even China to be completely wiped out?" "If they are completely wiped out, what is the value of their existence?"

"Of course, it's not just the military officers. Compared to the military officers, the political officials have greater interests in the local area..." " "

".."

After hearing what Fujiwara no Kanezane said, Minoruhiko was silent for a while and asked, "Have you encountered much resistance in your work during this period?"

"It can't be said to be a big deal. After all, this matter is too serious. I believe that even if those people have ulterior motives, they will definitely not dare to betray the empire easily." "Boom!"

Minoru slammed the table and said angrily:

"This is betrayal of the empire! Kanezane, you are too kind!!" In his opinion, Fujiwara no Kanezane was indeed too "kind".

Saving these bastard officers was kindness, ordering the army not to harass the locals for the sake of local peace was kindness, and this is still kindness!

Sigh...but that's normal.

When I was young, I thought the same thing. I even shared His Excellency's aspirations of not wanting to be a member of the royal family or an officer. It's okay. I'll just get a few years older and realize the realities of this world.

At this time, Junhiko automatically ignored the dozens of heads that Fujiwara no Kanezane ordered to be chopped off.

""

The agent who was quietly staying in the corner rolled his eyes secretly and complained in his heart.

Kind?

Saving a group of people from death with your own hands is indeed very kind.

"Yes, yes, yes... In short, Uncle Minoruhiko, the Kwantung Army has already established its own special interests in Northeast China, so it will certainly not put too much effort into suppressing the resistance."

"Well, you have a point."

"Right now, they're just pretending to obey, but if things continue to develop, it's unclear what they'll do."

Min Yan is 45 years old, how could he not understand these principles?

What can happen?

One division commander has already died, so there can't be a second one?

Didn't the Northeast have similar characters and cases during the Ming Dynasty? It's really difficult...

Since even Kanezane encountered such significant resistance, it seems they might not respect or obey me as the division commander. If I want to protect the Empire's interests in Manchuria and if I want to be able to command the Second Division with ease, then I have no choice but to...

Looking at the expression of this cheap uncle, Fujiwara Kanezane knew what he was thinking and laughed in his heart.

Anyway, I've already stirred up trouble with Ueno Yoshitatsu and Muto Nobuyoshi, so won't everything in the future follow naturally?

Great Purge! Great Purge!

After finishing the business, Minoruhiko's serious expression dropped, he glanced at the agent in the corner, winked and said:

"Kenshi, I heard that you...hehehehe, took Puyi's queen to...hehehe?"

"Didn't I tell you everything in the telegram? She's pregnant anyway, so it doesn't matter whose it is."

"Hehe, as expected of the Yamato royal family... How does it taste?"

"It's just so-so, not as good as the big horses my uncle played with in France."

"...Big... foreign horse?"

"First, to be big..."

Fujiwara Kanezane made a breast-rubbing motion, then made a lewd "horse-riding" motion: "Tell me, is it a foreign horse?"

"..."

Minoru Yan was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter.

This guy is a playboy with a lecherous nature, so it's easy for him to understand these dirty tricks.

When he was young in France, he had played with all kinds of women, from German women to French women, from white women to brown women, from blonde women to gray-haired women. He even slept with black women once, pinching his nose.

The reviews were surprisingly good - very tight and firm, and the smell on her body was not as unappetizing as that of white women, especially Russian women.

As for why he, a guy from a country looked down upon by the mainstream world and a short guy with average looks, could have so many women, it was of course because of his money and so-called "royal status"! From the 19th century to the 21st century, some things have remained the same.

Anyway, seeing Fujiwara Kanematsu's dirty talk, Minoruhiko enthusiastically discussed the details of playing with women, and then was shocked and speechless by the knowledge from the 21st century Internet. "... Kanematsu, Kanematsu, I see that in this life, you are also... also..."

Minoru Yan laughed enough, but was ultimately at a loss for words.

Fujiwara Kanezane smiled and changed the subject:

"Anyway, the Second Division's headquarters will be moving from Fengtian to Changchun, right? Then I'll have to trouble you, uncle, to take good care of Wanrong."

"Oh? Are you attracted to that woman?"

"That's not the case. It's just that the woman is very important right now, and her mental state is not very stable. She can't be stimulated, so I also left a capable maid with her."

"Is that so...Okay!"

Minoruhiko readily agreed:

"Don't worry! I promise not to let anyone touch her hair!" "Thank you very much, uncle..."

...

In the following days, Fujiwara no Kanezane traveled back and forth between Fengtian and Changchun, handling various handover tasks, directing UMP45 far away in Jiangxi to deal with the Chinese Communist Party, and arranging people in the Northeast.

In addition to the secretary position, the position assigned to you isn't high-ranking, but it allows you to travel extensively throughout Northeast China and isn't conspicuous, which should be very convenient for you to carry out your secret work. "Yes, I understand. Thank you."

Zhao Ziqi looked at the new appointment letter in his hand, and thought of the various high-ranking Japanese officials he had met during this period, and was deeply impressed by the ingenuity of Fujiwara Kanezane's arrangement.

Because so many high-ranking officials died in the explosion, Zhao Ziqi, who was originally temporarily inserted, easily became a "veteran", and a "veteran" who had proven his "loyalty". Fujiwara Kanezane assigned him the position of "Director of the National Highway Construction and Maintenance Bureau of the Ministry of Construction of the State Council of the Great Manchuria Empire". This was definitely a full-time department-level cadre, much stronger than Wu Jiu (bushi). As the name suggests, this "National Highway Bureau", which currently has only one director on staff, will be responsible for road construction and maintenance throughout "Manchukuo".

The cleverness of this position lies in its great power, abundant benefits, little responsibility, and ample excuses for traveling around the country. Add to that the title of "State Council Secretary" which gives him access to many confidential information... For Zhao Ziqi, an underground Party member who needed to frequently communicate with the leaders of the Party organizations in various places and even pass on intelligence, all these were simply perfect.

"No need to thank me, just work hard and strive to become the Prime Minister of the State Council or the President of the country! I am at ease with you doing the work!" Fujiwara Kanezane patted Zhao Ziqi's shoulder with a smile, and the latter could only smile bitterly.

Started talking nonsense again.

Where did the chairman of the puppet Manchukuo come from?

After a pause, Zhao Ziqi decided to clarify some things in advance:

"Regarding the selection of cadres for the National Highway Bureau, do you Japanese have any arrangements?"
