Volume 1 Turbulent Times Chapter 138 News
The news of Kenji Doihara's death caused a huge stir in Japan. An agent specially dispatched by the General Staff Headquarters, and an important agent who shouldered important tasks and had high hopes, died inexplicably without even showing their body.
At a glance, all that was left to the Japanese was a cold urn.
Regarding this only clue of the mission hospital, the Japanese side was reluctant to pursue it for a long time, but in the end no problem was found. The Japanese side extremely suspected that the death of Kenji Doihara was related to Britain and France, but they did not dare to offend these powers.
Even the Japanese, the German doctor who asked Okamura Neji to pay for his cremation, had nothing to do with him. In the end, they could only admit that they were unlucky and secretly swallowed this bitter pill.
The Kenji Doihara incident also made the Japanese angry and panicked. None of them knew whether Britain, France and other countries had grasped their plans, and whether Kenji Doihara had revealed secrets to each other before his death.
?Although Britain, France and other countries seemed to know nothing on the surface, the guilty-minded Japanese panicked for a while and issued an order to suspend the plan to Okamura Neiji to prevent the personnel sent to China from suffering like Doihara.
Kenji's loss.
Neji Okamura was beaten to a pulp. He was so sad that his hair fell out in handfuls in recent days. When the order to suspend Tokyo was issued, although he was very reluctant, he had no choice but to carry it out. However, this incident made him think too highly of himself.
For Okamura Neiji, it was a great shame and humiliation for him. No matter what Tokyo decided to do, he, Okamura Neiji, would find out the truth no matter what.
Without telling Tokyo, Okamura Neji continued to investigate in private for a period of time, but he did not expect that Fang Zida had already received information about Tokyo's decision from special channels. When Zhou Yuanliang reported that Okamura Neji had violated the law and continued to investigate in private, Fang Zida
A decision was made immediately, asking Zhou Yuanliang to find a reliable person to quietly leak Okamura Neji's actions to the British and French embassies. After receiving the news, the British and French diplomats were furious and protested to Tokyo through diplomatic channels.
Within a few days, a message of reprimand from Tokyo was placed in front of Okamura Neiji. Okamura Neiji, who acted without authorization, not only received a bloody scolding from his superiors, but also ordered him to immediately end his mission in China and return to Japan.
"Okamura-kun, why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me earlier? You were too careless." Xiao Linjun said complainingly.
Okamura Neiji's face was ashen, and the order to return home had been issued. He knew very well that this mission was a complete failure. Moreover, due to the diplomatic protests from Britain, France and other countries, Okamura Neiji must bear the main responsibility for the incident.
After returning to Japan, he will be relegated to the sidelines and lose hope of promotion.
"I'm causing you trouble." He bowed sadly to Jun Kobayashi. Neji Okamura packed his things silently.
"Hey..." Jun Xiaolin sighed with regret and asked, "Do you need me to do anything? Okamura-kun."
Shaking his head, Okamura Neji didn't say anything. He was thinking about how to explain himself after returning to China. Seeing Okamura Neji like this, Kobayashi Jun comforted him for a few words and then left. When he walked out of the room, Kobayashi
A disdainful sneer appeared at the corner of Jun's mouth: "What kind of samurai? Bah! You actually have the nerve to return to the country. If I had already had a caesarean section to apologize."
As subordinates, Jun Kobayashi and Neji Okamura have always been at odds with each other. They wish that Okamura Neji would get out of the house as soon as possible. In fact, speaking of this matter, when Britain, France and other countries protested to Japan, Jun Kobayashi was no less.
Adding insult to injury. Now that Neji Okamura is about to leave, it's too late for him, Jun Lin, to be happy.
Okamura Neiji returned to China in despair. As for what he would face after returning to Tokyo, this was not an issue that Fang Zida considered. Within a few days, Fang Zida received news that the person who succeeded Okamura Neiji was not
The other person was none other than Jun Kobayashi. After contacting Jun Kobayashi, the vigilant Fang Zida was relieved. This farmer's son, who was proud on the surface but extremely inferior in his bones, was far easier to fool than Neji Okamura. Without much effort, Fang Zida
Xiao Linjun was coaxed into running around.
Half a month later, Fang Zida accompanied Yuan Sizhen back to her parents' home. A few minutes after he sat down, Yuan Shikai, who learned of his arrival, had someone call him to the room.
In the past few months, Yuan Shikai's health has deteriorated. Although his condition has not worsened for the time being, the long-term serious illness has seriously affected his health, causing his eyesight to become worse and worse. Usually, Yuan Shikai rarely makes presidential appearances except for necessary state affairs.
I have been resting in the backyard.
When he arrived at the room, he gently opened the door, and Fang Zida saw Yuan Shikai half lying in a chair, with his eyes half closed and holding a scroll in his hand.
"Is it Zhang Ming?" Hearing the movement, Yuan Shikai asked.
"Yes, father-in-law." Fang Zida responded quickly.
"Sit." Yuan Shikai said, pointing to the chair next to him.
Fang Zida sat down quietly and looked at the scroll in Yuan Shikai's hand suspiciously, which was a little strange.
"Haha, I have been used to it for many years. Although my eyesight is getting worse and worse now, my heart is always empty if I don't hold the notebook in my hand." Yuan Shikai opened his eyes slightly, and seemed to feel the doubts in Fang Zida's heart, and said with a smile.
"Father-in-law, your illness requires rest. As long as you recover from the illness, your eyesight will slowly recover in the future." Fang Zida quickly comforted him.
Waving his hand, Yuan Shikai said with a faint smile: "I know my health myself, so you don't need to comfort me. I didn't come to you today to talk about these things, Zhang Ming! There is something I want to ask you."
"My father-in-law, may I ask?"
"Which Japanese named Doihara did you do this?" Yuan Shikai asked lightly.
Fang Zida felt as if he was struck by thunder, and his hair stood up in shock.
"Um……?"
"Yes..." Fang Zida, who was awakened by Yuan Shikai's cold snort and came back to his senses, quickly replied.
"How could the old man know this? Damn it!" Fang Zida felt uneasy, and his mind was racing to find where the news was leaked. More importantly, Yuan Shikai knew about this, and the Japanese were
Don't you know? He spent so much effort, but he didn't want to expose himself. Once the Japanese side learned that the real mastermind of the incident was him, Fang Zida, how would the angry Japanese react? Fang Zida simply couldn't imagine.
"What? Are you worried? Are you scared?" Yuan Shikai asked with a sneer, slamming the scroll he was holding in his hand on the table: "What have you been doing? If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing! Where in the world is this?
Is there an airtight wall? Smart people, haha. Smart people often die because of the word smart, Zhang Ming, Zhang Ming, you are too reckless!"
His forehead was covered with sweat. Fang Zida didn't dare to say a word. He lowered his head and clenched his fists, thinking about what the problem was.
"Okay, don't think about it anymore." Yuan Shikai relaxed slightly and sighed: "This matter ends here. Fortunately, I learned about this matter. You should understand what the consequences will be if it reaches the ears of outsiders.
From now on, no matter you employ people, you must think twice before doing anything. Those who are good at swimming will drown, and those who are good at riding will fall. A gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes..." Fang Zida took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat, and agreed again and again.
"I don't want to know the reason why you killed this Japanese, nor do I want to hear your explanation for the matter. Since you have already done it, I believe there is a reason for you to do it." Yuan Shikai said leisurely. He waved his hand: "Go and do it!
Go back and reflect carefully, and remember to be careful when doing big things in the future."
For more than ten minutes, Fang Zida felt as if a long time had passed. When he walked out of Yuan Shikai's room, he found that his back was completely wet with sweat. Fang Zida was angry and scared. How did this news leak out?
How could he not know, and how Yuan Shikai knew about it was even less clear to him. Fortunately, Yuan Shikai just beat himself up a bit today, but Fang Zida could still hear the meaning of defending himself in his words. Yuan Shikai said this.
So far, it probably means that this is it. Fortunately, the Japanese do not know. If the Japanese find out, Fang Zida will not be able to face the consequences at all.
After leaving the room, Fang Zida had no intention of staying in the Presidential Palace. After saying hello to Yuan Sizhen, Fang Zida hurriedly left the Presidential Palace. More than an hour later, he rushed to the General Staff Headquarters and found Zhou Yuanliang who was in the office.
.
"Why are you here?" Zhou Yuanliang, who was busy, was very surprised when he saw Fang Zida suddenly coming in person. It was the first time for Fang Zida to come here. Seeing Fang Zida's ugly look, Zhou Yuanliang immediately knew that something was urgent and called all the outsiders.
After sending him away, he closed the door tightly and asked softly.
"Something happened." Fang Zida said gloomily.
"What happened?"
"The news about Doihara has been leaked."
"Ah! Impossible!" Zhou Yuanliang exclaimed, and at the same time he said in disbelief: "How could this matter be leaked? Where did you hear about it?"
Glancing at Zhou Yuanliang, Fang Zida immediately confirmed that this matter had nothing to do with Zhou Yuanliang himself.
"The president already knows about it and just asked me about it."
"What!" Zhou Yuanliang was stunned immediately, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
"What did you do? Ah!" Fang Zida slapped the armrest hard, and scolded: "I told you to keep this matter a secret! How could it be leaked? You kid patted your chest and told me that it was foolproof, but now you can't even
The president already knows, what is going on? Fortunately, the Japanese have not received the news yet, but once the news reaches the ears of the Japanese, you will know the consequences yourself. Hum! A good swimmer will drown, and a good rider will fall.
, A gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall! Look at the people you are using! You are trying to roast me on the fire!"
The more Fang Zida talked, the angrier he became, and he copied what Yuan Shikai had taught him, scolding him so much that Zhou Yuanliang wiped his hands in a cold sweat.
After pointing his nose and cursing for several minutes, Fang Zida stood up and slammed the door and left, leaving Zhou Yuanliang alone in the office with his face turning blue and red.
"Damn it! If I want to know who leaked the secret, I have to skin him!" Zhou Yuanliang's head was boiling with rage, and he cursed through gritted teeth.
***************************************************
Sorry everyone! I originally wanted to do two updates yesterday, but I went to Daming Mountain yesterday and it was already very late when I got back to the hotel. Plus I was tired from driving, so I really couldn’t do it anymore. I just drove more than 300 kilometers back today, after three days.
I drove more than 1,000 kilometers back and forth. Because I was driving alone, and it rained the night before and yesterday, I was very nervous while driving on the highway. Now my head hurts terribly, so I can barely finish a chapter.
I'm on a mission. I'll try my best to make up for the two chapters I owe you in the past few days. Please forgive me!
Chapter completed!
