Chapter seven hundred and twenty eight
The Japs sang at the top of their lungs for a long time, and suddenly realized one thing: the memorandum for this emperor-revealing operation had not yet been drafted.
This is not possible. As the saying goes, if the name is not right, the words will not be right, and if the words are not right, things will be difficult to achieve. The key to being right is to put yourself on the side of justice.
It doesn’t matter whether others believe it or not,
The important thing is to believe it yourself.
In Chinese history, this is how Chen Lin wrote for Yuan Shao to plead against Cao Cao, and King Luo Bin wrote for Xu Jingye to plead against Wu.
Xiang Tian and others who were well versed in Chinese culture understood this, so the Emperor's Rape Song Meeting ended, and everyone started quarreling over who would write the essay.
This is a matter of showing one's face, and it is the basis for meritorious deeds and rewards after the action is successful. Even if it fails, it can leave a mark in the history books.
So the officers began to compare their military ranks and seniority, and even Teruzo Ando, who had just acted like a loyal minister, stood up and tried to compete for the right to sign.
Zuo Zhong, who was watching, couldn't help but burst into laughter. This group of idiots who had failed to achieve anything but failed in many things still wanted to rebel. They were really thinking blindly.
After arguing for a while, Xiang Tian Qingzhen, as the leading brother, felt that he could no longer continue the meaningless quarrel, rubbed his head and looked aside and said.
"Okamoto-kun and Ozaki-kun, you are both great talents in journalism. I wonder if you can compile a magnificent article on your behalf to enhance our momentum.
When we achieve victory, the names of both of you will be spread far and wide along with our feats. For the sake of the future of the people and the Yamato nation, please."
With the attitude that if I can't get it, no one else can take advantage of it, Xiangtian Qingshen passed the task of drafting the memorandum to the two Zuo Chong who were watching the excitement.
Others closed their mouths after hearing this. This is the best choice at present, because reporters are not military personnel and cannot infringe on their interests.
The famous philosopher Mr. Xie Ruolin once said that what you talk about is doctrine and what you think about is business. These words are quite appropriate at this moment.
"this..."
Zuo Zhong looked at Ozaki with a troubled look on his face, but in fact he was very happy. He originally wanted to find out the news, but he didn't expect to get something unexpected.
The deputy director of the Secret Service personally wrote the message on the side of the Japanese Kiyoshi. Such a great achievement was enough to offset the destruction of Tokyo Station, and everyone from top to bottom had an explanation.
But it is not without hidden dangers. If the Japanese knew that the intelligence agencies of the Republic of China were involved in this mutiny, would the war between China and Japan break out in advance?
After thinking about it, he felt that this possibility was unlikely. National war was not a family affair. The Republic of China was not ready for war, and the Japanese were not ready either.
The two countries can only engage in a verbal war. As for whether it will affect his future, as long as it does not involve the bottom line of a certain fellow countryman and Lao Dai, it doesn't matter.
Having made up his mind, Zuo Zhong frowned and said sternly: "Ozaki-kun, for the sake of the empire, Xiangda-kun and the others sacrificed their lives for justice. You and I must not stand idly by.
Although we are literati, we are powerless and unable to kill the national traitors, but we have a duty to call on the people to rise up, so that the efforts of all the warriors will not be in vain.
Why not let me write the first draft first, and then let you polish it, so as to win more people to support us, completely eliminate the plutocrats, and return power to His Majesty the Locust."
Drafting a memorandum?
Not that it's impossible.
Faced with the persuasion, Ozaki thought for a moment and nodded, then stretched out his right hand and pointed at the low table to signal Zuo Zhong to start. He also wanted to see how the other person's literary talent was.
After getting along with each other these days, he believed that the other party was a young man with progressive ideas, but whether to absorb the other party into the organization still required multi-faceted investigation.
Now is a good opportunity. Even though our literary appreciation of people is limited, we can roughly understand a person's thoughts, education level, and even his views on the world.
Zuo Zhong was not polite when he received a response. He walked to the table, picked up a pen and started writing quickly. In less than ten minutes, he wrote an essay of several hundred words in one go.
“Japan’s national system is based on the governance of locusts from the sky. Since ancient times, it has lasted for trillions of years and will never be replaced forever, in order to spread the beauty of the country’s talents to all eight regions and one universe, so that humans around the world can enjoy their lives to the fullest.
This basic mission is indeed the glory of Japan, so it has been passed down from ancient times to the present. The current era is the time when the country is expanding its strength and promoting its national prestige.
Recently, people with selfish desires and no regard for people's livelihood and prosperity have emerged, causing the empire's sovereignty to be greatly ravaged, people's lives devastated, and people groaning in pain. This is actually the reason why the country has encountered such difficult problems.
A group of elders, important ministers, warlords, plutocrats, bureaucrats, and political parties are all the culprits in destroying the state system. The signing of the London Naval Treaty and the repeated unfortunate incidents that have occurred to imperial soldiers in recent years are proof of this.
Sagaya sacrificed his life to assassinate Hamaguchi, the emergence of the Blood Alliance, the outbreak of the May 15th Incident, and the assassination of Nagata by Natsu Aizawa, all happened without reason.
Unfortunately, these incidents failed to awaken those responsible. The recent tension between the empire and Lu, Zhi, Ying, and Mi was also due to the inability of the latter to take appropriate countermeasures in this situation. The country has reached a critical stage of survival.
It’s autumn.
Therefore, the responsibility of the military is to clear the emperor's side, eliminate treacherous ministers, and crush the clique of important ministers. Before setting off for Manchuria, we have no choice but to take direct action and take action to achieve the fundamental goal. This is the obligation of His Majesty's subjects.
Pray to the Emperor God and Emperor Zong to bless us to succeed in our endeavors and save the land of our ancestors.
On February 20, Showa 11, Shigenobu Okamoto and all the comrades of the Tokyo Daily News.”
The winter sunshine shone on Zuo Zhong's face through the maple trees and glass windows. Only the sound of rustling writing could be heard in the room. After writing the last few words, he slowly stopped writing.
In order to write a good message, he used the skills he had learned in the officialdom of the Republic of China over the past few years, such as flattery, confusing right and wrong, and criticizing others, to the extreme.
Upon seeing this, Ozaki quickly picked up the article and read it. Regardless of the content, the article quietly glorified the mutiny and made it an unavoidable act for the country.
The evidence is a series of bloody conflicts between Japan's military and political circles. Why are there so many martyrs who even risk their lives? It's because there are bad people at the top.
Using the results to infer the causes, coupled with the many problems existing in Japanese society, citizens who do not understand the true situation of this mutiny will definitely be confused by the article.
Xiang Tian Qingzhen and others were also watching. When they saw the words "save the ancestral homeland", everyone smiled and nodded, saying that was what they thought.
These people did not launch the mutiny for fame and fortune, let alone to enter the Army University, but purely out of their sincere patriotism.
If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. After reading the newly released propaganda, the Japanese all smiled and straightened their backs.
"Yoshi, Okamoto-kun is indeed a reporter for a major newspaper. What he wrote is exactly what we feel. If it were not for the empire, how could we give up our current life.
I think this article will definitely inspire the spirit of the people, expose the true colors of the rebellious ministers and traitors, and also make the soldiers who participated in the uprising understand the need for mutiny."
Xiangtian Qingzhen applauded and praised, his eyes swept over his colleagues who were sitting at attention, and he did not forget to praise himself, as if he wanted to carry the Zhenzhongyi Memorial Arch on his head.
Now he was very satisfied. He had the people to act, the plan was in place, and he even had a declaration of action. Now there was only one last thing left.
Xiang Tian Qingzhen knelt down in front of the table, slowly bent forward, and announced to everyone in a low voice: "The action will be launched five days later, that is, at 11 o'clock in the evening on the 25th.
At that time, we will act according to the previous plan. The action command is "honor the emperor" and the response command is "reveal the traitor." Everyone must eliminate their respective targets and cannot act rashly before then."
He paused here and lowered his voice again: "This is about everyone's heads, and you don't want to be discovered by the plutocrats and those treacherous officials before victory.
By the way, Okamoto-kun and Ozaki-kun, in order to ensure your safety, I will send someone to secretly protect you two before the operation begins. I don’t know if it is convenient."
Protect?
It's surveillance, right?
Zuo Shige and Ozaki knew this very well and smiled faintly. One said it didn't matter, the other was already prepared and was waiting for a big move to happen in two days.
Moreover, they simply cannot refuse each other's "good intentions". Once they refuse, the maple trees outside the window will be more colorful next year. The reason is easy to understand - there are flower fertilizers.
After the business talk was over, the officers who participated in the meeting left the hotel one after another. Zuoshige also politely said goodbye to Ozaki, and they each called a taxi back to the city.
The frightened boss and waiter slumped down on the tatami and took a deep breath. They were lucky to have escaped, but they didn't realize that one person was missing among them.
In a hidden guest room, a dark figure stood in front of the phone and said something. He opened the drawer and found a latest tape recorder inside.
At this time, the tape was slowly rotating. There was a signal line behind the machine that passed through the floor, continued to extend under the ground, and finally stopped in a certain room.
"Hai, I understand. I will send the recording back to the headquarters immediately."
"The other party had no doubts and the inside performance was perfect."
"The personnel roster has been compiled and will be sent back with the recording."
"I understand, keep a close eye and don't alert the target."
The black shadow pressed the stop button of the recorder and took out the tape while reporting to the other end of the phone. Apparently, the contents of the mutiny meeting just now had been leaked.
Many times, the secret you think is not a secret and has not been exposed by others. It is just that you are still useful to others or can still be used.
Even if it is a mutiny,
To some people, it is equally valuable.
