Chapter 52 Worry

"Eugen, here is Salted Fish No. 1! Ah, Bah, here is Sailfish No. 1, the signal is very clear, we are preparing to return." Lieutenant Adrian Yeager reported to the oxygen mask.

"This is the last place, and it needs another turn." Sergeant Hann, the backseat observer, shouted, and Yeager raised a thumb in response.

"Look at the bottom, there is at least one infantry battalion." Hann sighed while pressing the camera shutter.

"The photo is clearer, this is for the head of state. Don't mess it up." The pilot held the joystick, and the water reconnaissance plane gently hovered in the air.

"Don't worry about my skills, okay, the last two negatives have been completed. Before it gets dark, I hope we can find a wide water surface to land." Hann said as he took back the high-powered lens of the reconnaissance camera. When the navigator came, he waved goodbye to the Suzhou River below. The chaotic Japanese troops.

"Made, idiot! Don't run around, what does this look like? That's just a reconnaissance plane." Zong Fang Cao Chang waved his Nine Five Saber in a furious manner.

"Can you tell which country it belongs?" Zong Fang turned his face and asked in a low voice.

"It's a plane of the uninhabited people." Dagu held Zong Fang Cao's Type 93 telescope, staring at the seaplane hovering above his head.

"Absolutely? Isn't it a Chinese plane?"

"I am a country of independent countries. I have seen it in foreign magazines, and the logo on the plane is also a country of independent countries." Dagu nodded affirmatively.

"Yaxi is worthy of being a young man from a wealthy family, and he is more knowledgeable than these rural people." Zong Fang patted Dagu's shoulder to show encouragement.

"Listen, this is a plane from an independent friendly country. Don't run around, Malu. Do you still look like emperors? Ono's Ultimate Private, stand at attention immediately! Today I must let you understand what the Yamato soul of a Japanese man is." Cao Chang rolled up his sleeves and walked towards an unfortunate Ultimate Private.

"This is the current attitude of the special mission. We need to wait for a reply from Berlin. Given that the Head of State is currently visiting Rome, it may be a little later before the decision can be made." Colonel Davidson said to Sir George, Consul General of the British Consul-General in Shanghai.

"You mean, Germany is ready to stay out of the matter?" Sir George fiddled with the pipe in his hand.

"It's not what you think, sir. It's only temporary, and Germany maintains a neutral position in the incident until the exact order is obtained." Colonel Davidson raised his hand and an army staff member handed a folder to his hands.

"This is also what Marshal Brenberg meant. At the same time, the Marshal also hopes that you can increase your efforts and solve this assassination case as soon as possible. The Marshal hopes that before he leaves Shanghai, he can see the murderer and the mastermind behind the scenes be arrested and punished." Davidson said as he placed the folder in front of George.

"There are some photos taken on the spot, and I hope they can help solve the case."

"According to what I have obtained, this assassination is likely to be related to the Nanjing government in China, perhaps to express dissatisfaction with the cooperation between Germany and Chongqing." Sir George opened the folder and looked around.

"Do you have evidence in this regard? If this is true, then Nanjing, China, will face revenge from Germany, and they will know what the price will be paid to challenge the dignity of the Great German Empire." Colonel Davidson frowned.

"There is no conclusive evidence yet, but our agents are stepping up the investigation and have some relevant clues. The inspector of the Office of the Ministry of Industry and Technology has worked for Scotland Yard for twenty years and is very experienced in handling such a vicious case. So I believe Mr. Wardson's professional judgment on this assassination." Sir George took out his tobacco bag and twisted up a bunch of golden tobacco.

"If possible, sir, I wish to meet this inspector Wardson once." Colonel Davidson reached out and pressed Sir George's arm.

"There is no problem at all, Colonel, you just need to tell me a specific time and I will arrange the rest." The jazz lit the matches and lit the pipe.

"The Germans said they remain neutral? It's really incomprehensible. The Japanese riots just killed three Germans." Colonel Fabrill, the director of the French Concession Police Station, made an exaggerated expression of surprise on his face.

"Don't do that, I understand what you mean, Fabr. This is politics. It seems that the Germans have their own plans and cannot use their power for the time being. But it doesn't matter. Twenty-four hours later, the whole world will know what is going on here. These annoying Japanese monkeys must pay a price to satisfy us in order to calm the dissatisfaction of the entire Western world with their barbaric behavior." Oqi turned his head and looked out the window. The sunset had dyed half of the sky red. The French Consul General in Shanghai raised his hand and lit the desk lamp on his desk.

In the end, the incident was Matsuoka Foreign Minister himself took the Japanese army and naval forces that were surrounded back. The Japanese government was so embarrassed that it was conceivable that after the internal investigation was launched, there was still no idea how many people would be implicated.

Matsuoka Yosuke's nose was almost pissed. As expected, these army's Malu could not trust. He even left the matter to Shigeru Sawada. But after looking back, he found that the lieutenant general had not arrived at the scene at all. After asking the military headquarters, he found out that this guy ran to Sichuan Road to fight with the Marine Corps.

The Lieutenant General of the Army and the Rear Admiral were fighting together on the ground like two street hooligans in front of a group of subordinates. It was simply crazy and absurd. It was unheard of Matsuoka's life until now.

Matsuoka made up his mind to write a memorial to the Emperor. In addition to severely punishing the perpetrators in this incident, he also made every effort to impeach Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, commander of the 13th Army. The crimes were dereliction of duty, incompetence, wanton and arbitrary, ignoring the overall situation, rude and rude, ignoring military rules, and acting on his own.

Anyway, this matter must be blamed. Shigeru Sawada's official position and military rank are just the right size, and an army commander should be able to block the mouths of Western powers.

As for the compensation for the losses, Matsuoka didn't have much idea. After all, the south building of the Huamao Hotel was beaten like a sieve, and the burned truck blackened half of the exterior walls of the north building.

What makes people even more vomiting is that the army lost, with nearly 200 officers and soldiers killed and killed, many of them seriously injured and may need to retire after recovering from injury. The losses of the other party were less than a fraction of the Japanese side. Everyone could see that the Japanese army suffered a crushing defeat in Shanghai.

There is nothing that can inspire the Chinese resistance more than this. Matsuoka could foresee that once this matter spreads in China, it will definitely cause some blow to the morale of the Japanese front-line combat troops, and at the same time it will give Chongqing and the anti-Japanese organizations in the north to continue to resist.

What made Matsuoka even more uneasy was that the huge hidden dangers hidden behind this incident. Houdong confessed to Matsuoka very readily, which was the assassination he planned and personally asked someone to assassinate the German marshal. His purpose of doing this was to arouse the dissatisfaction of the Germans with the Chongqing government, and also warned Germany not to continue to cooperate with China.

From his starting point, this staff officer was indeed thinking about the great cause of the imperial country. The problem was that this guy was simply a madman with great ambition and talent. When planning, he never thought about the serious consequences that would be caused by the truth.

Now Matsuoka can only pray that the assassin Liu Agen would hide in the slums in the west of Shanghai according to Houdong's arrangements. However, now that things are so big, Liu Agen is not an idiot and will definitely be vigilant.

Matsuoka was worried that this idiot should not be smart enough to do it himself and chose to hide in the two major concessions. If this person fell into the hands of the concession... Matsuoka didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
