"This is really true." Weirler took off the monocle glasses from his eye sockets and handed the telegram to Daogen with a curious look on his face.

"I can't believe that I feel the same as you, it's simply ridiculous." The head of the empire held a cigar in his mouth and bent down on a Greek-style chair woven by the vine. The Italian waiter next to him delivered the freshly brewed Darjeeling black tea.

"How are you going to reply to Colonel Davidson?" Weirle asked cautiously.

"Send another investigation team? The investigation teams we sent to Asia in the past two months have almost gathered together." Xu Jun put the cigar on the ashtray and waved his hand to signal the Italian waiters on both sides to retreat.

"I will not send anyone here anymore, so I will choose from the left-behind people in French Indochina. Captain Schdoughenberg, I remember that he is waiting in Hanoi to return to Berlin, so now he has to postpone his original itinerary." Xu Jun picked up the black tea cup and looked up at Diesenhaufen.

The adjutant nodded respectfully, saying that he had already undergone strict inspections. The head of state lowered his head and took a sip.

"That count? My head, I have read the report he sent back, and I can see that his administrative ability is very good." Weirle sat down on the cold chair on the other side of the round table and took a new tea cup from the tea set tray.

"He is indeed an excellent officer. I'm going to be promoted to major after he returns." Xu Jun put the teacup back on the table and picked up the half-sucked cigar again.

"You can grant him full authority and order him to select personnel to form a capable team to investigate the incident." Weirle suggested. "As I thought, Weirle, you will draft this telegram. At the same time, send the promotion order to be a small compensation for postponing his return." The head of empire smiled.

"As for orders, my head. So how should Colonel Davidson respond?"

"Let the special envoy send a detailed report first. I will not make a hasty decision until the incident is investigated clearly. Remember to ask them to take more photos of the city of Shanghai. If conditions permit, it is best to use an airplane to take aerial photos." The head of state was very eager to see the scene of their hometown in this time and space.

"So what you mean is to let the special envoy stand on time and stay in the Shanghai Concession before you make a decision?" Weirle asked tentatively.

"In reply, he said that considering Marshal Brenberg's health, before the Marshal's injury improved, the special envoy temporarily stayed in Shanghai and transferred a capable medical team from Berlin to the arrangement of the personnel's choices to the Eye of Odin."

"I understand, my head of state, so the Japanese side will be eager to explain to you."

"Of course they will do this. Hiroshima is in Rome now, but I don't know if he already knows that this is happening now." Xu Jun took a cigar.

"It's hard to say, my head of state. This is such a bad guy. His colleagues in the country must think so too." Weirle said with a smile.

"I won't see him for the time being. Let Ribintrop go to meet him and let him tell the Japanese that the special envoy would not go anywhere until the truth of the assassination was clear. At the same time, let Ribintrop gather media reporters in Rome. This was a very serious diplomatic incident. The Third Reich should express its attitude to the world. We are extremely dissatisfied and indignant about the despicable assassination that happened to the German envoy." Xu Jun picked up a small biscuit from the plate of snacks.

"Wait a moment, my head." Weirle made a record in his small notebook.

"My Head, who do you think assassinating His Excellency Brenberg?" Daogen stood aside and asked, and he put the telegram at Xu Jun's hand.

"It's obvious that it was planned by the Japanese." Xu Jun tapped the telegram with his finger.

"Cheng Chiang Kai-shek of Chongqing had made a guarantee of the safety of the marshal before. Although this person had a poor credit record in the past, I believed in my own vision in this matter. He had no reason and no need to use such crude means to provoke Germany. Did you see the scene described in the telegram? The assassin was shouting anti-Japanese slogans at the time, and there was a phrase in Chinese called "If you want to cover up, you will be more obvious." The last idiom was spoken in standard Mandarin.

"The meaning of this phrase is to cover up the truth of something, but instead make the truth more prominent." Looking at the confused subordinate, the head of state explained with a smile.

"I understand. This assassin is misleading the witness at the scene and wants people to think that he was sent by Chongqing." Daogen hammered his palm.

"This can explain why the assassin's goal is the marshal. They want to destroy the relationship between Germany and Chongqing. It seems that the cooperation we have with Chongqing has made some people very dissatisfied." Weirle said with black tea.

"In fact, there is another object with major suspicion, that is Wang Zhaoming's Nanjing government. It is said that they are very dissatisfied with Germany's refusal to recognize the legitimacy of this regime. They have special agent agencies in Shanghai and are fully capable of sending assassins to create this assassination incident and frame Chongqing. This is also their usual means.

They are likely to want to use this to destroy the good relationship between Germany and Chongqing. Because if we have a falling out with Chongqing, they can take advantage of the situation and engage us in contact with us, and ultimately induce us to recognize their regime and completely turn to their side." Xu Jun put the cigar head out in the ashtray.

"Since Nanjing is so suspicious, why did you think it was planned by the Japanese before?" Daogen was a little confused.

"Is there any difference between the two? In this matter, Japan and Nanjing should have the same purpose. It may even be that the two worked together to plan this incident. I believe that the Japanese manipulated behind the scenes, because without the consent of the Japanese, Nanjing would not have the courage to do such a thing at all.

You should know that the next stop of the special envoy is to visit Japan. The report sent by the Tokyo Embassy has made clear that Japan attaches great importance to this visit. Tokyo has prepared a comprehensive and detailed reception. They even held more than ten welcome events in advance. It can be said that the whole country of Japan is looking forward to the arrival of Marshal Brenberg.

So no matter who ruined this major diplomatic activity, the Japanese side will never give up the planners of the incident lightly. Nanjing side will not be unclear about this, so they absolutely do not have the courage to do it alone." After Xu Jun said that, he took a bite of the cookie.

"What you mean is that the Japanese attach great importance to the visit of the marshal and will not allow anyone to destroy it. So how could they plan this assassination? This logic does not make sense, my head of state." Daogen was completely confused.

"You are right, Daogen, usually people think this way, but the problem is that Japan is not a country that can be viewed with normal thinking." Xu Jun put the small biscuit that he had taken a bite on the teacup tray.

"If you want to understand the behavior of the Japanese, you have to understand their history and culture. If you understand this, you will find that this is a very magical country.

In the past thousands of years, this country has never been truly unified. Most of the time, they maintained a balance in the form of a tribal alliance. They have never truly experienced the unified feudal era. Until the nineteenth century, they still retained the shadow of slavery. The people are the personal property of the vassal lord. As long as the vassal lord is willing, he can deprive any property of the people, or even the life of this person.

Even during the shogunate rule, the various vassal lords still retained a lot of independent power, and they could even launch wars against foreign countries without the approval of the shogunate.

After the Meiji Restoration, Japan directly jumped from a semi-feudal and semi-slavery society to a constitutional monarchy society, but the traditions, ideas, laws and moral systems that maintained the old system were still preserved intact.

Just like in the past, the Japanese were loyal to the vassal lords, they only were loyal to the groups where they were in their own, and at the same time only cared about the interests of their own groups. As long as they were considered to be beneficial to their organizations, they would do their best to do it, and would not consider the ideas of other groups, nor would they consider the possible serious damage to the country in the end." Xu Jun tapped the table gently.

"I remember that all the Japanese were loyal to their Emperor and my head of state." Diesenhofen interjected rarely, and he brewed a cup of new tea for Xu Jun.

"This is not contradictory, thank you, Diesenhofen. Because when they make these decisions, they will declare that they did it for the Emperor. They will say that they do it all for the country. The decisions they make will be more beneficial to Japan. It cannot be denied that many Japanese people do believe in this, but in fact, most of the time, the groups and some individuals they belong to ultimately benefit." Xu Jun said with a sneer.

"God, do they really believe in these things? Who will judge these ideas to be correct? This is really ridiculous." Daogen exclaimed.

"No one, the players and the referees are themselves. What happened in Shanghai this time is very likely to be planned by a few Japanese soldiers. The reason is of course "this is more beneficial to Japan and the Emperor." After the head of state said that, he put down the teacup in his hand.

"Does it be necessary to notify the investigation team and the special envoys for your judgment?" Weirle asked.

"No need, don't affect the judgment of front-line personnel for now, maybe there will be more interesting discoveries." Xu Jun said with a smile.

"My head of state, the relatives of His Excellency Mussolini have arrived." At this time, Diesenhofen reported from the side. Xu Jun looked up and found an Italian army colonel standing not far away.

"This is Colonel Santini who escorted the family." The adjutant introduced.

"The weather is good, and the air in the garden is better. Let him bring his family here." Xu Jun said to Diesenhaufen.

"As for orders, my head."

"Prepare a few more chairs."

"As for orders, my head."

"Don't forget that there are tea and snacks."

"As for orders, my head."

"Get a little more of these small cookies."

"As for orders, my head."
