~.-~       Chen Kai is a spy in the Military Commission. He has received professional training and is meticulous in encountering problems. He knows that it must be the prince who has something wrong and he has made no mistakes at all. As long as he explains it clearly, there should be no big responsibility.

Sure enough, after he was taken to the interrogation room, a familiar military commander asked him all the details about his trip to Jiangbei. Chen Kai made a detailed appointment and asked him after all: "Sir, you can't mention the wrong person!"

The team leader said: "It's no Go wrong. That person is the prince's adjutant, named Masatoshi Nishikojo, and is still an earl. However, the weight is far worse than the prince. This is a bad time. The chairman is preparing to hold a press conference, so he had to temporarily cancel it. He lost face in front of international friends and scolded Boss Dai. I'm afraid someone will be in trouble this time!"

Chen Kai was shocked: "I won't be able to take action against me!"

The team leader said: "You are Boss Dai's favorite general. You won't deal with you. At most, you can just delay your career. Okay, you can go back first, don't go out and wait for the handling!"

...

In the Chairman's Office, Chiang Kai-shek walked back and forth, Dai Li stood up and suddenly Chiang Kai-shek stopped, pointed at Dai Li's nose and cursed: "You can't do such a small matter. If Shi hadn't been careful from the room and questioned in advance, I would have lost my master internationally. Mom Xipi, what's the use of asking your Military Commission!"

Dai Li's khan was all over, and he was angrily scolded by the commissioner's storm. He cursed Chen Zikun in his heart, how could he give him a fake one? The prisoner had been in Jiangbei Pass for so long, but he didn't even know his identity. No, Chen Zikun had been doing intelligence work for many years and would not make such a low-level mistake. The only possibility was that he was unwilling to bring the real prince to Chongqing and send the fake one to him with a trick. He would neither offend Chongqing nor anger the Japanese side.

Chen Zikun, Chen Zikun, you take advantage of all the advantages, brother, I am in trouble. Thinking of this, Dai Li whispered: "Secretary, there must be something strange about this matter!"

Chiang Kai-shek said: "You said!"

After hearing Dai Li talk about his guess, Chiang Kai-shek's face was unstable. Dai Li knew that the commissioner usually had no mood and anger, and only in front of him did not hide his mood. It seemed that he had a right bet this time and Chen Zikun was going to be unlucky.

"Chen Kunwu, although you have been kind to me before, now it's no wonder that my brothers don't take care of you." Dai Li said in his heart.

But Chiang Kai-shek did not punish Chen Zikun in the end, but said, "That's all for this matter. Let Zhang Qun secretly contact the Japanese side and send this Earl of Xijiujo back!"

Heels together.

...

At the foot of the Daqing Mountain, Chen Zikun and Qingshuifeng were walking on thick snow. The guards followed behind from afar. The earth was vast and the smoke in the village was curling. What a beautiful view in the snow.

"The beautiful scenery reminds me of Kawabata Yasunari's "Snow Country". "Qianmizu Maple feels refreshed and sincerely sighs.

Chen Zikun said: "If there was no war, this place would be even more beautiful!"

Quinami Feng said: "By the way, how did you know that I am the prince!"

Chen Zikun said: "Although the fake prince also has a noble temperament, he is always a little worse with you, and he and the King of Yuhu will always look at you involuntarily. You are the real His Highness Fengren of Qingshui Palace!"

Kiyomizu Feng said: "You guessed it right. The fake one is actually my secretary, Earl Nishikotsu Masashinobu. King Yusu is my brother-in-law. The three of us have known each other since we were young!"

Chen Zikun said: "It turns out that Yusang is still a royal relative, no wonder he is arrogant and domineering in his work!"

Kiyomizu Feng said: "The Yu family is a family of Mén families, hereditary nobles, and they hold shares in several large industrial groups. His mother is from the Genji family with a long history. I really can't even be domineering!"

The two laughed a little.

"General Chen, do you really think that if you detain me, you can bring peace?" Qingshui Feng said earnestly.

"Of course not, I'm not that naive. Even if I detain your brother Hirohito, I can't stop the chariot of the Japanese Empire. I just want to keep you for a while and feel my determination to fight against Japan, so that the people of your military headquarters will know how much it will cost to swallow China!"

"Hay, I understand." Qingshui Feng nodded. During this period, he ate and lived with the villagers of Daqingshan, and chatted together at night. He heard many atrocities of the Japanese army and heroic anti-Japanese stories. The prince, who had always grown up in a gentle village, was deeply touched. Chen Zikun was very knowledgeable about the Japanese and knew that their national character was not as moderate as the Chinese, but liked to go to extremes. He was either a fanatical militant or a resolute anti-war Yingying.

Prince Qingshui is a senior intellectual, and his feelings are always compassionate. With a little education and guidance, he will turn to the anti-war side, allowing him to help himself from the bottom of his heart, which is more beneficial than forcing him.

Sure enough, Shimizu Feng said: "I have considered a solution for you, and you can see if it is feasible!"

"Please speak with your throne!"

"It is unrealistic to let the military headquarters withdraw from China, and it is impossible to withdraw from the Jiangbei region. Even if you agree, you will regret it. Although I am the prince, my influence is not as strong as you think. How can you not let these warriors? My opinion is worse than to dispatch a smaller army to station in Jiangbei, so that everyone can live in peace and wait for the end of the war. Whether it is victory or defeat, at least it can ensure the safety of the people in Jiangbei!"

"Oh, Your Highness thinks which unit is suitable!"

"The Osaka Division is more suitable. Osaka's life is most peaceful and does not like to kill. If they are stationed in Jiangbei, they will definitely be able to stay in peace!"

"Is that true? Then you can study it..."

...

Nanjing, the Jiangbei Incident Countermeasure Headquarters of the China Expeditionary Army Command, and after listening carefully to King Yu's report on the incident, the generals turned their attention to Chief of Staff Seishiro Itagaki.

The Lieutenant General paced back and frowned. Everyone knew that he was thinking about countermeasures and did not dare to make any sound. King Yu and others were impatient. Just as they were about to speak, a few sharp eyes shone over and stared at him so hard that they swallowed his words. Although he was the young and promising head of the imperial organs, he was not enough to see in front of these generals who had fought for many years.

Suddenly, Seishiro Itagaki stopped and walked: "You must never compromise, even if the prince is in their hands, it will not work. This is related to the course of the war and the future of Japan!"

The King of Yusu said: "Do you ignore your highness's safety?"

Seishiro Itagaki didn't look at him, walked straight to the wall, pointing to the huge military map and said: "From Nanjing, Hankou and Xuzhou, one of the three directions, the troops from a corps were dispatched to squeeze, and at the same time, the first corps under the Taiwan Botian Detachment was mobilized to encircle and suppress the Daqingshan area!"

King Yu's heart was beating wildly. Itagaki Seishiro was going to kill the prince. He knew very well about the madmen in the military. The death of a prince not only had no impact on the battle situation, but also raised the morale of the imperial army... But Prince Qingmizu must not die, he is his brother-in-law.

"I object." King Yusu shouted loudly.

The generals swept their cold eyes at him.

"You are murder. If your highness is wrong, General Itagaki, please wait to bear the anger of His Majesty the Emperor. I will repeat it again and must be resolved peacefully." King Yuzuo withdrew from the venue despite the generals' anger.

The competition between the senior officials has begun secretly, and the influence of the noble families cannot be underestimated. Under their pressure, the General Staff Headquarters made concessions and began to contact Jiangbei to test the other party's bottom line.

The Japanese side insisted that His Highness Qingshui Palace had returned to Tokyo safely after ending its visit to China. The fact that his capture was purely false, but he refused to let the prince face publicly, saying that His Highness occasionally felt cold and was not suitable to meet people.

Chongqing has been silent, and seems to have no interest in this lie that can be broken with just one click.

In February 1941, all the wars on the Chinese front stopped and fell into a disturbing calm that seemed to breed a more violent storm.

As we all know, Seishiro Itagaki is a brave general who is suitable for leading troops to fight in the east and west. Such actions involving the safety of the royal family are not suitable for him to perform his skills. More high-level generals participated, including General Kenji Tuféi, who is known as the "Oriental Lawrence" and General Kanji Ishihara, known as the imperial strategist.

Due to high-level struggles, Toshihara retreated from the front-line battlefield and is now the principal of the non-commissioned officer school. Ishihara Kanir is even more miserable. He was dismissed by Chief of Staff of Tojo Hideki and was unemployed after being dismissed from the division commander. The prince's capture made the two generals like sharks smelling blood. They couldn't wait to secretly fly from Tokyo to China to provide advice for Itagaki Seishiro.

As we all know, Ishihara's wisdom and Itagaki's courage are the golden combination of the Japanese army. In Manchukuo, in ancient times, and at Lugou Bridge, they have shown the power of their two partners more than once, defeating Zhang Xueliang, Song Zheyuan, and Yan Xishan. In addition, a general who is familiar with the Water Margin of the Three Kingdoms and is well versed in the Chinese style, is simply invincible.

The Japanese side took the initiative to propose a change of conditions, through an intermediary that both sides could accept, Yan Qingyu, the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Wang Zhengfu, and two staff members of the Japanese Red Cross were also sent to him.

Chen Zikun saw the list listed by the Japanese side. Even those who were used to big scenes were shocked. This was simply a generous condition that could not be rejected.

One thousand taels of gold, five hundred thousand silver dollars, one hundred thousand US dollars, one hundred thousand US dollars, one hundred thousand yen, all are hard currency; then there are ten Type 92 infantry cannons, five hundred shells, twenty Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns, one hundred Czech-made ZB26 light machine guns, one thousand newly-fabricated máoSe rifles, and there are brackets at the back, indicating that they can be replaced with Japanese 38 rifles for free, everything is as per your wishes.

What makes people most eye-catching is a complete set of hospital equipment, from disinfection to surgery, countless supporting products, and a set of bullet shell stamping equipment, which are all urgently needed by Daqingshan.

The Japanese side also stated that it could always exempt money and food from the Jiangbei region, but it is impossible to discuss withdrawing the Imperial Army.

If it were ordinary bandits, they would have been dizzy and could not find the North when they saw such a generous ransom. However, Chen Zikun said that the price was too low.
