Chapter 405 The Fool Has Arrived
Chapter 405 The Fool Has Arrived
The next day, Lin Ze finally knew who was coming.
Early in the morning, a large number of gendarmes were deployed to the vicinity of the train station to enforce martial law.
Patrolmen and detectives were patrolling the perimeter.
This scene is similar to the last time the prince came to Peking.
Lin Ze was wandering outside the train station, observing the surrounding situation from time to time.
Not to mention it being unusual, even the stray dogs commonly seen on the streets and alleys didn't dare to come near here.
It is true that spies like to carry out assassinations, but they are not fools. With such a strong defense, even a regiment may not be able to break in. Moreover, the people around have been driven away, and everything is in sight. It is difficult to approach the train station, let alone assassinate.
He lit a cigarette and was about to find a place sheltered from the wind to rest for a while when Kitahara Ransuke hurried over and said, "Lin-san! The train will be arriving soon. Follow me and I will be responsible for the safety inside!"
Lin Ze could only take a few deep puffs, then throw away the cigarette butt and follow Kitahara Ransuke into the station.
On the platform, Terauchi Juichi and Yamashita Tomoyuki stood at the front. General Terauchi looked calm, but the old devil Yamashita had a stern face, as if someone owed him money.
Standing behind them in order were Major General Matsuzaki and others, all with serious expressions, waiting silently.
There was also someone Lin Ze didn't expect to be among the crowd of people waiting to pick him up, and it turned out to be President Wang of the Maintenance Association.
It seems that the big traitor President Wang still has some status among the Japanese, at least on the surface.
Even if it's a mascot, it needs to be taken out for a walk from time to time, right?
A train slowly pulled into the platform. Lin Ze took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was exactly half past ten.
After the train stopped, several soldiers in military uniforms opened the door and got off the train, then lined up at the door of the carriage.
After a while, a man wearing a military uniform and a cloak, not too tall but quite strong and sturdy, appeared in everyone's sight.
He had a big, square head, which made him look not very smart. There was an obvious scar above his right eye, which made him look a little ferocious.
As soon as he got off the car, he saluted first, then took Terauchi Juichi's hand, "Senior!"
Terauchi Shouichi smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Sugiyama-san!"
Lin Ze had excellent hearing, and although he was not standing close, he still heard the two people's greetings.
It turned out to be the old guy Sugiyama Madoka, who was also known as the Fool Madoka!
No wonder he called Terauchi Hisaichi senior, the relationship between these two old devils was pretty good. After all, the Terauchi family was a big clan, and most military leaders didn't dare to offend him. They all wanted to have a good relationship with him, and these two people had a lot of fate.
Sugiyama En is one year younger than Terauchi Hisaichi. When they were in the Non-commissioned Officer Academy, they were senior and junior of one grade respectively. When they were at the Army University, they were senior and junior of one grade respectively.
Moreover, the two men's positions had many overlaps. For example, Sugiyama Madoka was previously the Army Education Director, and after he left office, Terauchi Hisaichi succeeded him as Education Director. Now Terauchi Hisaichi is about to serve as the commander of the North China Front Army, and Sugiyama Madoka has again succeeded Terauchi Hisaichi.
Fate!
Sugiyama En and Terauchi Juichi kept chatting, not paying any attention to the increasingly ugly expression on Yamashita Tomoyuki's face next to them.
The reason why the old Japanese felt so awkward was because both Terauchi Juichi and Sugiyama Madoka were beneficiaries of the February 26 Incident, especially Sugiyama Madoka. He was able to get along well with both factions and reap the benefits. He took advantage of the struggle between the two sides and directly took the position of Deputy Chief of Staff and President of the Army University.
This step also allowed him to overtake others in promotion. Although he later resigned from the position of vice minister due to being implicated, the resources and bonuses brought by the position of president of the Army University made Sugiyama Yuan benefit greatly.
Yamashita Tomoyuki was indeed a complete loser in the February 26 Incident. He was once thrown into Goryeo and almost had no chance to make a comeback. How could he not feel awkward when they met today?
Fortunately, after a while, Sugiyama Yuan took the initiative to greet Yamashita Tomoyuki, and the atmosphere eased.
Lin Ze looked at this scene and curled the corners of his mouth.
When you meet someone for the first time, you must give them a gift!
【Bad luck charm, use it! 】
[Ding! The bad luck charm has been bound to the target: Sugiyama Madoka. The bound target will be in a bad luck state for one hour.]
【Bad luck charm, use it! 】
[Ding! The bad luck charm has been bound to the target: Terauchi Juichi. The bound target will be in a bad luck state for one hour.]
【Bad luck charm, use it! 】
[Ding! The bad luck charm has been bound to the target: Yamashita Tomoyuki. The bound target will be in a bad luck state for one hour.]
He used three in one breath, and when he saw that there were only two bad luck talismans left, Lin Ze stopped.
After the greetings, everyone walked out, talking and laughing. There were more than a dozen steps at the exit. Sugiyama Yuan tightened his cloak and looked at the densely packed soldiers outside. He felt very happy. Senior Terauchi's arrangements were very good!
"Terauchi-senpai, Peking seems to be in perfect order under your governance..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly missed a step and fell backwards. Terauchi Juichi was walking beside him and seeing this, he quickly pulled him and supported his back with his arm, trying to help him stand steadily.
Unexpectedly, when everyone saw that the future commander of the front almost slipped, they all wanted to show their ability and stepped forward to support Sugiyama Yuan.
This really ruined the situation. Due to the crowd, both Terauchi Hisaichi and Sugiyama Maru were forced to lean forward from a slightly leaning backward position. Then, with screams, they fell forward uncontrollably.
Sugiyama Yuan felt that his head was getting closer and closer to the edge of the stairs. He could only try to close his eyes and tilt his head slightly.
With a snap, no one knew what was broken, but blood spurted out of Sugiyama Yuan's left eyebrow instantly and he fainted.
Terauchi Shou instinctively supported himself on the ground with his hands, and the cracking sound came from his arms.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be broken.
Everyone was stunned.
The whole scene immediately became chaotic. Kitahara Ransuke, who was following behind, stared at Lin Ze in amazement.
Is this a security failure?
Lin Ze pushed him and said, "Kitahara-kun, this is a good opportunity to show off, hurry up and save him!"
Kitahara Ransuke finally reacted and hurried forward.
Lin Ze was busy on the periphery, and would call out from time to time: "Commander, are you okay?"
After a while, he called out: "Come quickly, arrange a car to go to the hospital!"
Anyway, he just works but doesn't put in any effort.
Yamashita Tomoyuki was watching this scene with his hands folded, and he actually felt a little secretly happy in his heart.
You seniors and juniors are so affectionate with each other, what? Do you want to fall down together?
Sugiyama Madoka really embarrassed himself today. On the first day in Peking, he fell and broke his head, and even implicated General Terauchi!
I'm so embarrassed!
In this case, how can you still gain a foothold in the front headquarters!
At this moment, a gunshot interrupted Yamashita Tomoyuki's gloating.
With the exclamation and the feeling of numbness followed by pain, Yamashita Tomoyuki realized the problem.
I was shot!
