Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Not giving up an inch of land

As a Japanese consultant who has dealt with Zhang Zuolin countless times, Kenji Doihara has a deep understanding of this. It is not easy to mention this person. He is one of the so-called "Three Heroes of the Kwantung Army" (also known as "Three Feathers") who will make waves in China in the future. At that time, Japan had a fixed routine for training senior military officers, and the "Three Masters" basically followed this routine: they first went to the Sendai Local Children's School, then went to Tokyo to attend the Central Children's School, then entered the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, and finally entered the Army University based on merit.

Those who can get out of the Army University are the standard talents.Because this school only produces a total of dozens of graduates a year, and when there is a war, the school is cut off, so they are looted as soon as they graduate. There is a saying in Lu University called "Ten Years of Personnel", which means that after 10 years of graduation, you will definitely be promoted to the rank of Colonel.The reason for Doi is that he has his own hobbies, and his energy is scattered, so he had to spend five years longer than others to get the Da Zuo's card. This hobby is the agent.

Although the small country of Dongying is not rich in natural minerals, it has never been short of two kinds of resources - one is called agents and the other is called ronin.Generally speaking, the two professions are still interchangeable, sometimes an agent is a ronin, and sometimes a ronin is an agent. Since the grandfathers of Doihara, Japan has started to study secret agent technology, so it can be regarded as an ancestral craft. As early as during the Russo-Japanese War, Japan had one of the most famous agents, Genjiro Akashi.According to the Japanese, no one can replace Akashi butcher Zhang. Without him, Japan might have to eat hairy pigs during the Russo-Japanese War.

Akashi's public identity is the military attache stationed in Russia, and his amateur task is to distribute money.During the Russo-Japanese War, the Army spent a total of 3 million military expenditures (unit: Japanese Ocean), and this buddy spent more than 1 million alone, which was almost half of it.But the Japanese think it's money well spent.Because what they are doing is called a hidden war: cheer for the revolutionary party, send Trotsky funds, and find soldiers to mutiny, anyway, just to prevent the tsar from having a good life. The effect is immediate.Seeing that the front was almost overwhelmed, in order to take care of the home for himself, the tsarist old man never dared to transfer the elite of Europe to the Far East to fight.

Akashi Dazuo alone is equal to ten divisions.That's what the Japanese said after the war. But no matter how capable Mr. Akashi is, no matter how good his lurking skills are, after all, he will be alone in the world.Those who engage in spy work in an organized way have to start with Nobujun Aoki. Aoki is known as the "first China hand" in Japan. He once lived in Guangzhou and Beijing. In addition to speaking Chinese, he can also speak Cantonese.During his time as a ronin and an agent, in the name of traveling, he did all kinds of dirty things like drawing maps secretly. One of his most "achievements" was to catch up with Yuan Shikai (the governor of Zhili at the time) before and after the Russo-Japanese War, and was called "the only reliable Japanese" by the latter.With the help of Yuan Datou, Qingmu set up a "special task team", and a group of horse thieves were recruited under the banner of "Manchurian Rebels". They hid behind White Russia all day and made troubles, and made great contributions to Japan's defeat of the Russians. .

In the later period, the Japanese cabinet prepared to assist Sun Dapao (Sun Yat-sen).Qing Mu immediately betrayed his "old friend" Yuan Datou, and made suggestions for the movement to challenge Yuan until Datou failed to proclaim himself emperor and died. When Aoki was working as a spy in Beijing, he built a spy agency like a decent one: Aoki Mansion, and brought an apprentice - assistant officer Rihachiro Sakanishi.After the old Aoki retired, Sakanishi slapped on the horse and became the "third superstar" in the Japanese spy industry after Akashi and Aoki. When Banxi made his debut, he was also recommended by Aoki, and followed the path of Yuan Datou.Seeing that he talked eloquently about China's issues, Yuan Datou admired him very much, so he hired him as a military training consultant for the Beiyang New Army.

Starting from Lao Yuan, the Beiyang government has changed one after another, and seven presidents have been changed like lanterns. Banxi is an unshakable master in front of and behind the scenes. It is also known as "the tumbler of the rise and fall of the seven generations" and "the premier China hand". When Banxi was about to grow old, he learned from his master and established a secret service agency in Wangfujing, Beijing: Banxi Mansion, and he also brought an assistant official apprentice, this is Doihara. Looking at the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, they all come from the same background, as if they came off the same assembly line - they are all families of warriors, all of them are soldiers, secret agents, and ronin, and they are all "China hands". Even the style is basically the same: elegant on the surface, vicious on the inside, with a hidden knife in his smile, cunning and cunning.

It seems that Japan is really not a little bit better at the level of human cloning. Doihara can be regarded as the first to appear among the "Three Heroes". Compared with Aoki in the late Qing Dynasty and Banxi in the era of the Beiyang government, Doihara has gone a step further. It is equivalent to an enhanced version of the former two, and it is even more good at camouflage and insidiousness. Doihara's usual standard attire is not a soldier, but a "cultural person" who knows the past and the present, and is a "friendly person between China and Japan."He loves to talk and laugh, and he is usually careless. He seems to have no plans at all, but in fact he has a bad stomach.The common people in the north gave him a glorious title: Bandit Yuan.The source of the bandit, the source of the bandit is also, which means that wherever this little dwarf appears, there will be some trouble, whether it is political riots or armed conflicts.

I suspect that those guys like Sato in the anti-Japanese films who wear kimonos and spend all day in the room thinking about it are probably based on him. Like other officials of the Kwantung Army, Doihara initially pinned the idea of ​​cultivating slaves on Lao Zhang, but later found out that something was wrong, Lao Zhang was not a pure slave seedling at all. It is rumored that there are two things that have greatly touched Doihara. one thing.In the later period, due to the repeated entry and combat of Fengjun, internal conflicts emerged one after another.There are often stubborn guys like Guo Guizi who come out to make trouble. There are battles in the front and fires in the backyard.

Taking advantage of the momentum, the Kwantung Army opened its mouth wide, agreeing to borrow troops while demanding privileges.Old Zhang readily agreed. Because Zhang Zuolin had been fooled by too many people in the past, the Kwantung Army was careful this time, and they couldn't do it verbally. They had to sign a contract with Zhang Zuolin. Lao Zhang agreed without frowning. The Kwantung Army is happy now.After suppressing the rebellion, Doihara came to Zhang Zuolin excitedly, which meant that we could keep the promise.Unexpectedly, Lao Zhang didn't intend to keep the contract at all, and even said a few polite words in a polite manner.

The general idea is: I know that you Japanese are the most honest (please pay attention to this sentence, because the following is a foreshadowing), otherwise I would not entrust you with the private matter at the beginning (this is not a public matter).But now things are difficult.Although I personally agreed to your conditions, the common people may not be willing to agree. After all, the Northeast belongs to the common people, and this is a matter of business.If I bend the law for personal gain and interfere with public affairs with private matters, I will break the law (or be shot).So, I have no choice but to ask you to forgive me, this matter cannot be done. Afterwards, I said a few good things falsely, it was nothing more than that I owed the favor to my brothers, and I will pay for the next time you treat me to dinner (of course, this sentence may not be true). Although Doihara is a secret agent by profession, conspiracies and lying have always been his expertise, but at this time he was taken aback by Zhang Dashuai's level of "shameless and fearless".
