Chapter 404: General Terauchi is leaving
Mountain city, Luojiawan.
Mao Dafeng, holding a tray with a dish of steamed fish, a plate of vegetables, and a small bowl of porridge, knocked on the door of Boss Dai's office.
"Boss, would you like some dinner?"
Boss Dai's muffled voice came from inside, "I'm not eating anymore. Don't bother me."
Mao Dafeng wondered what happened to the director?
Ever since receiving a telegram from Jinfo, he has locked himself in his room.
Turning around and walking back, Mao Dafeng suddenly thought, could the Golden Buddha be dead?
In the office, the ashtray was full of cigarette butts.
Some people say that Boss Dai doesn't smoke, but this is not accurate. He doesn't smoke privately because he believes that cigarettes are addictive and will affect his judgment.
But he always carried cigarettes with him and would occasionally smoke one when socializing.
In addition, even when I am very tired and sad, I will smoke two cigarettes in the office.
After smoking for a long time, I felt a bitter taste in my mouth and took another sip of tea.
He held the teacup in his hand for a long time without putting it down, and sighed in his heart.
Jin Fo sent back information saying that the Japanese were going to attack Yangcheng.
This was a serious matter. For the battle of Jiangcheng, he had mobilized almost all the troops that could be mobilized. The defense of Yangcheng was relaxed. Once the Japanese took over Yangcheng and cut off the Guangdong-Hankou Railway, the significance of Jiangcheng's defense would be greatly reduced.
On the other hand, if we could deploy troops in Yangcheng in advance and delay the Japanese troops, then Jiangcheng could hold out for longer.
But the question is, what if there is something wrong with this information?
Then Boss Dai will have to pay with his head!
If he doesn't report to his superiors, nothing will happen. Even if Yangcheng is lost, it has nothing to do with him.
He reported to his superiors that if the Japanese really attacked Yangcheng, he would make great contributions, but if the Japanese did not attack Yangcheng in the end, he would lose his head.
This is a gamble with your life!
It was getting late, and Boss Dai finally made up his mind, dressed up, and prepared to go out.

Two days later, Miyamoto came to see Lin Ze excitedly.
"Lin-san! Lin-san! Good news!"
As soon as he entered Lin Ze's office in the police station, he couldn't wait to shout.
Upon seeing this, Niu Saner hurried out, closed the door and stood guard outside.
Lin Ze poured him a cup of tea and said, "Brother Miyamoto, please take your time. What's the good news?"
He took the teacup and took a big sip, not caring about the heat. Then he grinned and said, "The front has decided to purchase 50,000 boxes in advance. There will probably be more later. We are going to get rich, haha!"
Lin Ze was also very happy, "I'll treat you at noon, let's have a drink and celebrate."
Miyamoto shook his head. "I won't drink anymore. I'm going back to Tianjin soon. Yamaguchi has to go with me. We will personally monitor the production to ensure that there are no problems with this batch of goods."
This guy is pretty dedicated.
"Brother Miyamoto, you've worked so hard. You've been running around for days and you haven't been able to rest properly."
Miyamoto doesn't feel tired at all, this is all money!
"It's not that hard, but I still have to ask you to take care of the family. I guess you'll be busy for a long time this time. Mieko is alone in Peking, and I'm always worried. But it's much better with you here. I have to ask Lin San to visit her more often. Mieko is a woman, so many things are always inconvenient for her."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. The weather will get cold in a couple of days. I'll ask someone to send two truckloads of coal over, and then I'll see if the family needs anything and buy some for them."
Miyamoto bowed solemnly, "Lin-san, thank you!"
You see, he even has to thank us!
"Miyamoto, you are so polite. There is no need to say thank you between us. Just go about your work and call me if you have any questions."
Miyamoto left in a hurry. Lin Ze had nothing to do in the office, so he wanted to skip work and go home in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, Kitahara Ransuke called him at this time.
Do you want to eat braised pork again?
"Mr. Lin, take your men to the station this afternoon to do an inspection. Tomorrow morning, the area around the station will be on alert. Someone from the base camp will be coming over."
"Okay Kitahara-kun, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ze wondered why the headquarters sent people to Beiping at this time?
Are you here to investigate the reselling of military supplies again?
That shouldn't be possible. It wasn't long ago that he finished checking last time. He can't come again. He really doesn't take General Terauchi seriously!
Thinking of Terauchi Juichi, Lin Ze suddenly reacted.
Could it be that the old guy from Terauchi is going to leave?
Lin Ze asked Niu Saner to take him to the gendarmerie headquarters, and gathered the soldiers to go to Zhengyangmen Station. Unexpectedly, Kitahara Ransuke also came downstairs.
"Lin-san, let's go together."
"Kitahara-kun, you are busy with official duties, so leave this small matter of checking safety to me!"
Kitahara Ransuke smiled and said, "This is no small matter. You will know tomorrow. Anyway, let's go together."
As he spoke, Kitahara Ransuke called his car, and the military police all got on the truck and headed to the station in a mighty procession.
To ensure safety, the station will be under full martial law tomorrow. No one will be allowed within 200 meters of the station. All shops will be closed. Buildings with more than two floors will be guarded by military police.
Kitahara Ransuke was meticulous and personally led the military police to inspect the platforms, railways, and every place inside the station.
Lin Ze didn't ask any more questions.
It was not until the way back that Kitahara Ransuke said with emotion: "When Terauchi Daigo came, I was the one who led people to check the train station. Lin-san, time flies!"
Lin Ze didn't say anything, but just nodded in agreement.
"Lin Sang, the general is leaving."
Lin Ze was surprised and asked, "General Terauchi? Is he going to be promoted?"
Kitahara Ransuke smiled dejectedly, "The general's father was a general, and he is now a general too. With both father and son being generals, where can they be promoted? He will return to the country to serve as a military counselor. It will probably not be long before he will be awarded the title of marshal."
Lin Ze knew that Kitahara Ransuke was feeling unbalanced again.
There is no way around it. Throughout history, both in China and abroad, father is always an important competitive advantage.
Terauchi Hisaichi's father, Terauchi Masayoshi, was a major military leader and the head of the Choshu warlords. He had the title of marshal, but he had also served as prime minister. Therefore, General Terauchi was one of the best among those who relied on their fathers to gain power, and he was very enviable.
"General Terauchi will return to his country and take good care of the people who have been following him, right?"
Kitahara Ransuke stopped smiling and looked out the car window.
After a long while, he said quietly, "Major General Matsuzaki has talked to me, but he is still ambiguous. Until now, they have not clearly promised me a commander's position."
Well, Kitahara Ransuke is emo again.
"Kitahara-kun, I think no matter who becomes the commander of this front, the interests of the empire must be put first. To maintain the interests of the empire, we must ensure that there is a strong military police headquarters to maintain local order. If we want the military police headquarters to play a role, we need a truly capable person to serve as the commander. Kitahara-kun, we have the support of the people below, and we also have certain connections above, as well as strong financial support. No matter what, we must maintain confidence."
"Lin-san, you are right, let us all look forward!"

ps. Sorry for posting late today. Please rest assured, if I am too busy to update on a certain day, I will definitely ask for leave in advance. If I don’t ask for leave, I will definitely update. Some friends think that two chapters are a bit too few. I would like to report to all the readers that I don’t have any drafts. I need to choose my words carefully when typing, because I want each character to be full and three-dimensional, and each person has his or her own characteristics when speaking, so each chapter takes a lot of time. Of course, the readers hope for more updates, which is also a recognition and encouragement to me. Thank you everyone, I will try to write as much as possible while ensuring the quality! This book has nearly one million words, and it will take a long time to write in the future. Regardless of the results, I really thank all the readers from the bottom of my heart. As the saying goes, there is no gentleman who does not support artists, and the same is true for novel authors.
Thank you all!!
