Chapter 1300 The Sorrow of Little People
Kasumigaseki 1-chome, the headquarters of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
Suzuki Kantaro's motorcade drove into the compound. Immediately after hearing the news, senior officials from the Metropolitan Police Department came to say hello, but Suzuki Kantaro's answer was only one sentence, arrest people!
Before Tetsuji Suto and his men across the road could realize what was happening, more than a dozen pistols were pressed against their heads. The police officers roughly pulled them out of the car regardless of their explanations.
"Baga! We are special personnel of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff Headquarters. Let me go!" Tetsuji Suto was pressed to the cold ground with his backhand and shouted loudly.
The Japanese police have never dealt with the military, especially the army, so after hearing his words, the police officers not only did not stop, but worked harder to suppress Sudou and others.
Suzuki Kantaro in the distance frowned when he heard this. It was the Army again. Could this be the follow-up to an ominous incident?
I heard that the head of the Intelligence Ministry is called Okamoto Kiyofuku, and the man behind the ominous incident is Okamoto Shigenobu. Listen, they really look like a pair of brothers.
Suzuki Kantaro touched the wound through his clothes and felt that he could not let it go easily. If there was a problem with the staff headquarters, then the matter would be serious.
He walked up to Tetsuji Sudou and snorted coldly: "Who allowed you to follow an imperial general? Is it the order of that guy Sugiyama Gen?"
At the end of last year, Prince Kanin Miyazahito, who had served as the head of the General Staff Headquarters for nine years, resigned, and the post of head of the headquarter was taken over by Army Gen. Gen. Sugiyama.
Don't look at them all as generals. When Sugiyama Gen was still colonel, Suzuki Kantaro was the vice admiral. Even if Sugiyama Gen was present, Suzuki Kantaro was qualified to teach the opponent a lesson.
When the big brother speaks, the little brother only has to be obedient. If he dares to talk back, he will serve him with a big mouth. This is how all Japanese officers "grow up".
Tetsuji Sudo knew that he was in trouble. This action was his own initiative. Kiyofuku Okamoto had no idea about it and let his boss take the blame. Does he still have a future? It seems that he must tell the truth.
He quickly explained: "Your Excellency, General, we are not following you, we are following... following..."
"Who are you following?" Suzuki Kantaro insisted on asking clearly.
Sudou Tetsuji, who was hemming and hawing, turned his attention to Hayashi Fuichiro, who pointed at himself and said in disbelief: "Is the General Staff Headquarters following me?"
"Yes, we are indeed monitoring Mr. Lin Fu. As for the reason, I am sorry that I cannot answer." Sudou Tetsuji still had reservations and did not reveal Sorge's case.
He didn't say anything, but Fuichiro Hayashi slapped his head and deliberately looked aggrieved: "Hashido Sack, you don't want to use me to criticize Mr. Konoe, do you?
But the dispute between Konoe-dono and Tojo-dono is not something that I, a small deputy commander, can decide. Please don’t embarrass me! Please! "
hiss!
The senior police officers present only hated their parents for giving them two ears. They didn't expect that the political struggle at the top was so fierce, and even the intelligence department joined in. They shouldn't know about this kind of thing!
Suzuki Kantaro also wanted to "understand" that as a close minister of Ten Locust, who would be the prime minister actually had little influence on him. However, if someone wanted to use a relative of the Suzuki family as a stepping stone to ascend to the throne, he would let the other party know the influence of an imperial elder. force.
Tetsuji Suto was stunned. It was just a simple counter-espionage case. Why would it be related to the Prime Minister?
Lin Fuyilang must not be allowed to talk any more! If the other party keeps talking, His Majesty Tian Locust might also be involved.
Realizing that the blame was getting bigger and bigger, Sudo simply broke the pot and said: "Suzuki-dono, please don't get me wrong. This matter has nothing to do with Konoe-dono and Tojo-dono. I can accompany you to the General Staff Headquarters and let Minister Okamoto help you." Explain the specific reasons.”
Sato would rather offend the minister than fall into the high-level political whirlpool. The former will lead to death and the latter will lead to no life.
Suzuki Kantaro originally wanted to make the matter bigger, so he naturally would not object when he heard this. He rushed to the staff headquarters with Sudou Tetsuji and Hayashi Fuichiro, and kicked open the door of Okamoto Kiyofuku's office.
"Sir Suzuki, what are you doing?"
Looking at the angry Suzuki Kantaro, Okamoto Kiyofuku was full of doubts. The intelligence department had never offended the Suzuki family, so why was the other party so angry?
Suzuki Kantaro sneered and walked to the sofa and sat down, staring at Okamoto with his eyes fixed on Okamoto, a pair of black and thick eyebrows knitted together, and the smell of gunpowder in the room gradually became stronger.
Inexplicably, Kiyofuku Okamoto caught a glimpse of two more people walking into the office out of the corner of his eye. When he turned around, he saw that they were Tetsuji Sudo and Ichiro Hayashi, and he immediately guessed that the surveillance operation had been exposed.
What a waste, Okamoto cursed in his heart, but on the surface he glared at Sudou Tetsuji: "Baga, what on earth did you do to anger the Duke, and why don't you apologize quickly?"
After shirking the responsibility, he said sincerely to Kantaro Suzuki: "Sir Suzuki, if Captain Sudou makes a mistake, even if you feel sorry for him, the General Staff Headquarters and I will never cover it up. Please rest assured."
Sudou Tetsuji's mind was buzzing and he looked at Okamoto blankly, how could the other party say such a thing.
He monitored Fuichiro Hayashi and followed Kantaro Suzuki's special car, all in order to complete the task. As his boss, the other party not only refused to explain, but also handed him over to Suzuki for disposal.
Anger, frustration, hatred, disappointment...
Countless emotions surged in Sudou Tetsuji's heart. Although it was a soldier's duty to obey orders, the anger in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.
"Hmph." Suzuki Kantaro knew Okamoto Kiyofuku's intention, pointed at the well-behaved Hayashi Fuichiro and asked: "When will your General Staff Headquarters be able to monitor an Imperial Viscount at will, or has the Ministry of Finance been under the jurisdiction of the General Staff Headquarters?" Suzuki Halfway through his thunderous fury, Hayashi Fuichiro bowed deeply, said what he said at the Metropolitan Police Department to Okamoto Kiyofuku again, and begged the General Staff Headquarters not to unjustly accuse him.
Perhaps because the matter was not serious enough, he pitifully promised that he would stay away from Fumiya Konoe and would also convince his family to support Tojo as the new prime minister.
Okamoto Kiyofuku felt a chill rush from the top of his head to his heels, and he wanted to step forward and block Fuichiro Hayashi's mouth. What does it mean not to accuse him unjustly, and what does it mean to stay away from Prime Minister Konoe.
If Fumiya Konoe hears these words, the head of the department, Gento Sugiyama, will go to the Prime Minister's Office to apologize. Fumiya Konoe will remain the first minister of the cabinet until he steps down.
"Viscount Lin Fu!"
After loudly stopping Fuichiro Hayashi from continuing to talk nonsense, Okamoto Kiyofuku took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile and said gently: "You misunderstood. Tracking is a normal screening procedure and has absolutely nothing to do with Prime Minister Konoe."
Seeing that he was still quibbling, Suzuki Kantaro put his hands on his knees and shouted angrily: "Baga, evidence is needed for screening. Is this how the General Staff Headquarters wastes national tax dollars?!"
This roar not only frightened several people in the room, but also the staff of the General Staff Headquarters passing by outside were startled. However, no one dared to go in and ask what happened. To be able to curse someone in the minister's office, the other party must not be a simple person. figure.
Gen Sugiyama, the head of the General Staff Headquarters who came after receiving the news, saw the situation and dispersed the staff: "Go back to work immediately, don't talk too much."
"Hai."
The staff bowed and left. Sugiyama Genri straightened his collar and pushed the door in. He greeted Kantaro Suzuki with a smile.
An imperial general took the initiative to say hello. Suzuki Kantaro didn't want to get angry anymore, so he stood up and shook hands with Sugiyama Gen. However, after a few words of conversation, he came up with the matter of Hayashi Fuichiro being followed.
Unless the reason why grandson-in-law is being followed is clarified, he will have trouble sleeping. No one wants to be surrounded by a group of spies with ulterior motives.
Sugiyama Gen looked at the respectful Hayashi Fuichiro, a look of hesitation flashed across his chubby face. However, thinking of the influence of the Lin Fu family and the Suzuki family, Sugiyama Yuan decided to reveal part of the case.
Of course, the most important thing is that after this period of surveillance, the operators did not find that Fuichiro Hayashi was suspected of being involved in espionage, otherwise he would not have done this.
Before speaking, Sugiyama Gen ordered Sudou Tetsuji to go out. A commoner was not qualified to participate in the following conversation.
When there were only four people left in the room, Sugiyama Moto said seriously: "What I am going to say next is the empire's top secret and must not be leaked. Please remember it, Mr. Suzuki and Mr. Lin Fu."
The two Suzukis nodded lightly, so Sugiyama Gen briefly introduced the matter of Shelikov and Sorge, but did not discuss it in depth, and even briefly mentioned the specific case and information.
Finally, Sugiyama Gen, the newly appointed head of the headquarters, comforted Hayashi Fuichiro in the tone of an elder, and his tone was very affectionate.
"Lin Fujun, please understand. Who made you so familiar with Sorge and the members of the Wednesday breakfast meeting? Hahaha, you can be considered an innocent disaster."
Hayashi Fuichiro smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Since the General Staff Headquarters wants to find Sorge's accomplices, why not use Shelikov as a bait? There is no need to follow me."
Sugiyama Gen and Okamoto Kiyofuku were stunned. They had always been worried about Shelikov's safety and had never thought of using him as bait.
"Your Excellency, Mr. Okamoto, did I say something wrong? Please forgive me for my layman's nonsense." Ichiro Hayashi scratched the back of his head, looking honest.
"No, no, no." Sugiyama Yuan waved his hand, stood up and clasped his hands behind his back with excitement: "You are right, we were negligent. As the intelligence ace of the Red Russians, Mosk will definitely let Sorge investigate or even sanction Sheliko husband!"
Okamoto was also overjoyed: "Yoshi, this is a big operation. Sorge cannot execute it alone. He must contact other members of the team. This is our opportunity."
Not all members of Sorge's team have been locked in. The person under the greatest pressure is Okamoto. Now that there is hope for solving the case, he is unhappy.
But there is a difficulty in this plan. The person who leaks the bait information to Sorge must be reliable and have a good personal relationship with Sorge, otherwise the suspect will not believe it easily.
Sugiyama Gen and Okamoto Kiyofuku looked at Hayashi Fuichiro almost at the same time. Hayashi Fuichiro silently hid behind Suzuki Kantaro. There were some things that had to be discussed by the other party.
He risked his life to deliver information and worked hard for the Locust and the Empire. He should have received benefits, such as being promoted to minister, and receiving a special commendation order.
The person being followed was feeling proud, but the person following him was sitting in a daze on a stone bench in the park near the General Staff Headquarters. Suddenly, in the cold wind, someone came to Tetsuji Sudou's side.
