"Remember, No. 76 must be completely erased, and no trace can be left behind." The caller was Razor Tojo. The voice of this Lu Cecius was very distinctive, and he would never forget it after hearing it once.

Colonel Sifang stood by the table holding a telephone receiver, his waist as straight as a javelin.

"Ha, Your Excellency! The action has begun. Please rest assured that everything is in my control." Sifang bowed respectfully and replied, as if the Lieutenant General Tojo was standing in front of him.

"Sifang, you followed me when you were in the Kanto Army Gendarmerie. I believe you can do this and don't mess it up." Tojo's tone in the receiver slowed down a little.

"Haha, there will be no mistakes, you." Sifang bowed to the air and replied.

"Yaxi, I'm waiting for your report here in Tokyo, just like that." Tojo hung up the phone as usual.

"Thank you very much, goodbye, Mr. Secretary of the Army." Ignoring the blind voice coming from the receiver, Sifang pretended to say goodbye to the other party solemnly. Then, under the gaze of the Japanese officers in the room, he lowered the receiver with a calm expression.

He didn't expect that Tojo would call to inquire about this operation in person. Obviously, the Ministry of Army and the General Staff also realized the seriousness of the problem. The Minister of the Army was already very clear about the meaning of the army, which was to kill all the targets and never leave a living mouth.

The phone is called through the Japanese Army's dedicated line, and through the submarine cable between Japan and Shanghai, so there is no need to worry about the risk of leaking the call content.

"No one is allowed to be let go, this is the order of the Minister of the Tojo Army." Sifang held the scabbard of the 94th Sabre with his left hand and announced loudly to the officers of the 85th Regiment.

"Drink!" Although there were several colonel-level officers in the room with military ranks higher than all sides, everyone respectfully bowed to all sides and received orders.

Army Minister Razor Tojo actually called to interfere in this matter personally, which invisibly added a lot of mental pressure to the officers of the 85th Regiment. Captain Sasa's regiment thought that this was just a clearing operation planned by the 13th Army Command, but he did not expect that it would alarm the Army Minister in the cabinet. This is a troublesome thing. If this action is completed smoothly, it will of course be a great achievement and everyone can be promoted and made a fortune. However, if there is a problem during the action, even a small mistake may be infinitely magnified by the people around the Army Minister, and even directly affect the career prospects of all the generals present.

"I'll go to the front line to command the battle myself!" Colonel Sasa grabbed the saber placed on the table and said loudly to Sifang.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go with you." Sifang motioned the adjutant to put away the picture album and notes on the table, then picked up his combat cap from the edge of the table, and put it on his head with his backhand.

Nobuhiko Niuchang, the government official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stood beside a black Ford sedan with a Japanese consulate license plate, and lit a cigarette in his hand, looking coldly at a team of Japanese officers and soldiers running quickly through the front.

Niuchang and Takahashi, the two foreign affairs officials, are now special observers of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai. Because in this environment, Foreign Minister Matsuoka is not suitable for public appearances, they represent the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and go to the operation site to be responsible for monitoring and communication with Foreign Affairs.

After all, Matsuoka no longer dared to believe this group of Matsuoka Army. No matter how respectful the attitude of the four sides were, no matter how attentive the Matsuoka served, it could not comfort Matsuoka's fragile heart that was deeply hurt by the army monkeys.

The Japanese Army has always been exposed during this period of time. Matsuoka's diplomatic department came forward to settle the trouble. Even if this is his responsibility, this group of red deer cannot just focus on him and cheat him alone. He also has other tasks to do.

With that abundant energy, you can go and fight against the naval octopus. Isn’t this the Army’s favorite daily routine? Why do you mess with the people of the country every day? Besides, if you want to pick you, you can pick a soft persimmon to pinch it. Why do you always kick the steel plate? It’s like this once or twice. If you really can’t figure it out, just go find a corner where no one can hang your stomach and don’t always cause trouble for others! Is it interesting to mess with the people of the country? Are the generals and officers in the Army all have M physiques? All of these brainless guys will kill me! Made! Damn melon!

Although the Foreign Minister did not publicly yell at his voice, Matsuoka's crazy mentality could be clearly felt in the ox farm and Takahashi around the Foreign Minister.

"You don't understand the reason. Takahashi, the Army is definitely serious this time." The bull farm threw the cigarette butt at his feet, then stretched out his feet and crushed it hard.

"Is that right? Do you know what the reason?" Takahashi sat in the passenger seat of the passenger, and poked his head out of the window after hearing this.

"Of course I know." The bull farm shook the cigarette box and took out another cigarette.

"You have been working in the Tokyo Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Have you ever heard of "Mei Agency" before?" The cattle farm put the cigarette roll under his nose and smelled it, then tightened the tobacco on the back of his hand.

"Of course I have heard that I am not that ignorant, but so what's wrong?" Takahashi was very dissatisfied with the senior's constipation, but in order to let the other party continue to talk, he could only endure the impatientness in his heart.

"Realistically speaking, this "Mei Agency" should have been disbanded in March, at least in the report to the cabinet. But now you see, this agency has not only not disappeared, but has become stronger, and has no open staffing, which has enabled them to avoid the supervision of a group of superior departments and become more unscrupulous when doing things." The cattle farm sneered and picked up the cigarette.

"Does the Army Ministry not know about this situation at all?" Takahashi touched the pocket of the suit vest and took out a silver-shelled cigarette box.

"Maybe I know, maybe I don't know, who can know? But now I should know everything, so I'm going to look like this." The bull farm replied as if he was talking about a tongue twister, and then pointed to the Japanese soldiers behind the barricade of the wire at the intersection. These people were holding a loaded Type 38 rifle, and the bayonet reflected cold light in the sun.

"Have you heard of the name "Southeast Trading Company" before?" The cattle farm vomited a cigarette ring.

"It sounds like a business." Takahashi put the lighter into the lower pocket of the suit vest.

"It's true. This business was actually opened on the 76th. The real boss behind the scenes is the "Plum Agency" in Shanghai." The cattle farm took a sip of cigarettes and blew the ash with its index finger.

"On the surface, it was Qingqi Qingyin's efforts in this matter, but in fact, Major General Yingzuo was fully manipulating it. They used this business to start a material business with Chongqing. The "Mei Agency" used its power to issue a large number of military passes, while the Southeast Trading Company used these documents to transport a large number of mechanical parts, cotton yarn, cloth and even Western medicines to the Chongqing controlled area in exchange for military supplies such as tung oil, pig bristles, etc. in Chongqing. After a round trip, No. 76 made huge profits from it." said the cattle farm with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Damn it, Malu! This is a group of shameless traitors!" Takahashi is a passionate young sect. He has heard similar rumors before and always thought it was propaganda by anti-war elements, so when he saw the example, his heart was filled with resentment.

"This is not a capital enemy. After all, it has also been exchanged for Japan's scarce supplies. Of course, it doesn't matter if you want to understand it like that. You should know that this is a big business, involving several domestic chaebols, and no one of them can be afforded by people like us. And this kind of thing is not the only thing that happens here. As far as I know, the situation in North China is even more serious.

But the problem is that this time, the handle was caught by the Germans. It is said that they have found some of the inside information, and what is even more troublesome is that the Navy Command has also begun to intervene. This is a bigger scandal than the Siemens bribery incident back then. So once the Navy has the evidence, they will definitely expose the matter.

Think about it, ordinary officers and soldiers fought bloody battles with the Chinese army on the front line, while the rear side started business with the enemy, continuously transporting important strategic materials to the enemy. It is conceivable that this will seriously hit the soldiers of the front line troops and the morale of 100 million people in the country, and will even set off a wave of protests against the army, and the army will fall into an extremely unfavorable passive situation.

So, this time the army wants to eliminate all the evidence before this incident is exposed. You see, the troops of the 13th Army are actually the senior management of the Army Province behind it." After saying that, the bull farm took a sniff of cigarettes and then bounced the cigarette butts away.

"Do you know what you said?" Takahashi frowned and stened the cigarette butt.

"What do you think?" The bull farm did not answer the question of this junior, but only showed a secret smile.

The area around No. 76 has been surrounded by heavy troops. From Kinnear Road (Kinnear Road today Wuding West Road) to the north, to Yidingpan Road to the west, and then to Yuyuan Road to the south, all the roads leading to Detu have been martial law. And Jisifer Road goes east and all the lines to Kangnaught Road (Connaught Road today Kangding West Road). At this time, they are all under the strict control of the British and French joint forces.

During this period, even vehicles from consulates in various countries in Shanghai should not pass through this area. No one, regardless of military, government, official, or civilian, must undergo strict inspections. When a person with suspicious identity is encountered, he will be detained on the spot. After passing the Japanese military police and police stations, he will find that there is no problem before he can leave. Whether it is the Japanese or the concession army, they all received the same order, that is, when encountering suspicious targets carrying weapons and dare to resist, they can be killed on the spot.
