Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 1124 Uchida is dead

The management bodies in the concessions were generally called the Municipal Council, or sometimes the Public Works Council. Each concession had its own set of personnel, from municipal administration to fire services to police. Some smaller concessions would unite to form a single team.

The Japanese concession in Tianjin also had this institution. In the past, Tianjin was practically an independent kingdom where everyone made their own decisions. Some vagrants who committed crimes outside would run into the concession, and the Tianjin police force couldn't do anything about them.

After Lin Ze took office, he made great efforts to reform the system, and all orders came from his own hand. The power of the concession was compressed to the extreme. However, the issue of the concession guards was quite sensitive, so Lin Ze never had the time to deal with it and simply left it alone.

Zheng Xiaji has brought this up again, and he naturally has his reasons. In the past, he was not strong enough to challenge the Japanese. Now, Tianjin only recognizes Commander Lin, and people like Yoshimura Yuta are being treated like dogs. So Zheng Xiaji naturally has the idea of ​​taking back the police force in the concession.

Lin Ze thought for a moment and then pointed out, "What you're saying isn't impossible, but it's easy to give people something to talk about. I recently had a huge fight with those Japanese nationalists. If we use the police force of the Japanese concession again this time, it's easy for people to make a fuss about it."

"Yes, you're right. I was just mentioning it casually. This is something that can't be rushed."

"It's not that we can't rush it, it's that we need to have the right approach. What if the Japanese brought it up instead of us?"

"You mean you want Yoshimura Yuta and the others to bring it up?"

Lin Ze shook his head. "You still don't understand. There are many Japanese expatriates in the Japanese concession, mostly doing business, and some military officers' families. The concession police are not well managed, and there are many problems. It affects their interests. If trouble breaks out, wouldn't that give them a pretext? My Lin Mansion is also in the Japanese concession. If the concession is in chaos, can I just sit idly by?"

Zheng Xiaji was overjoyed. "I understand, I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Master Lin. I respect you, I respect you!"

Just as Zheng Xiaji was eager to cause trouble in the Japanese concession, Uchida Eisuke was on his way to inspect the military police headquarters in various places.

Ever since Okamura granted him greater management authority, he knew he had made the right choice!

What does it mean that a military police commander like him could inspect the work of other military police commanders?

This shows that General Okamura did not regard him as just a colonel. Your Excellency should give him an important position!

Thinking about it carefully, it's very likely that the General will promote him to the position of Deputy Director of the Special Service Department. If he becomes the Deputy Director, how far away can he be as a Major General?

It's said that Japanese soldiers would rather be colonels than major generals, but I've only ever seen colonels desperately climbing the ranks, never major generals voluntarily requesting demotion!

At the train station, a group of people are seeing off Eisuke Uchida.

For some reason, Kitahara Ransuke was quite friendly to Uchida, not only supporting his work but also personally seeing him off at the station.

"Uchida-kun, there are many sandstorms outside the Great Wall. It's the turn of spring and summer now, and the sandstorms are even more intense. Please take care of yourself."

Uchida was genuinely touched. He had actually taken a share of Kitahara's power, yet Kitahara was still so polite. Perhaps this was a model of someone truly devoted to the Empire!

"Ha! Kitahara-kun, please rest assured, this mere sandstorm is nothing. On this trip, I will definitely wipe out the Red bandits' underground transportation lines outside the Great Wall, living up to your trust and your concern!"

The intelligence officer standing nearby couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This guy's words sound weird, they don't leave a good feeling!"

Kitahara felt even worse, but he still smiled and said, "With Uchida-kun personally taking charge, there's definitely no problem. I've specially arranged a special train for you, so let's get going as soon as possible!"

"Hayi!"

Uchida placed the first stop of the inspection and arrest operation at Kouwai, because Kouwai is the western gateway. If the west wants to transfer supplies and personnel from North China to Kouwai, Kouwai is the only way to the north. It can be said that if Shimen and Kouwai are blocked, the connection between the west and North China can be almost cut off.

Among the important liaison points of the underground transportation network that Zhang Lu revealed, the area outside the Great Wall was of paramount importance. Previously, the Special Service Department had telegraphed Kanai Shoji, the commander of the military police headquarters outside the Great Wall, to personally direct the arrest of underground transportation personnel outside the Great Wall.

Now, Jin Jing is a colonel. Although he originally controlled the financial resources of the area outside the Great Wall, he had no connections in the central government and could only maintain the status quo with difficulty. Later, through Lin Ze's connections, the North China Area Army Headquarters recognized Jin Jing's position in the area outside the Great Wall. Jin Jing rose through the ranks and became a colonel, making him a veritable local tyrant in the area.

Once on the train, Eisuke Uchida looked around the carriage with some emotion.

I have to say, this special train is really nice, it even has leather sofas!

An attendant poured tea for Uchida Eisuke and then gave him a brief report on the general arrangements for the trip. Uchida looked out the window and nodded slowly.

The entourage he was taking to the area outside the Great Wall were all his trusted confidants whom he had summoned from Shimen. They were absolutely reliable. He did not trust the officers of the Special Service Department, so he did not take any of them with him this time.

The train moved slowly and is expected to arrive in Zhangjiazhuang tomorrow morning.

Late at night, Uchida Eisuke got up to use the restroom. After waking up, he couldn't fall back asleep for a while and asked the night watchman to get him some food.

As the servants brought in the food, Uchida casually asked, "Where are we now?"

"Colonel, we'll be arriving in Xuanhua soon."

Before the attendant could finish speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from the front of the carriage!

boom!

Immediately afterwards, the train derailed. Because the special train was going very fast and had few carriages, the luxury carriage where Uchida Eisuke was was thrown out. Uchida Eisuke was knocked around and felt dizzy. When the carriage stopped rolling, Uchida Eisuke only felt dizzy and nauseous. He couldn't see clearly in the dim light, but he could feel that blood was coming out of his forehead.

Using the moonlight, he found the car window and struggled to climb towards it.

One step, one step, one step...

Fortunately, the glass had already shattered. Ignoring the possibility that the glass shards might cut his elbows, Eisuke Uchida braced himself against the window frame and leaned out.

In a blur, he seemed to see several people walking towards him. As they got closer, he saw that they were all wearing uniforms, which were the uniforms of the China Railway Corporation.

"I, I'm from Beiping! Please rescue me!"

Several railway workers exchanged glances, then quickly stepped forward.

Immediately afterwards, one of the men raised his gun.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

One shot to the head, two shots to the chest.

Eisuke Uchida was stuck in the middle of the carriage, his neck stiff, looking incredulous.

He's dead!
