Chapter 270 It’s Beiyuan’s turn to gamble
Maybe it was because they drank too much sparkling wine, but two of Echinochika Tani's attendants got up and went to the bathroom.
Lin Ze hurriedly followed, pretending to walk around the bathroom and then came back.
Walking back to the banquet hall, he took a deep breath and found Kitahara Ransuke.
He whispered mysteriously, "Kitahara-kun, I have been given a golden opportunity. Should I report directly to Colonel Matsuzaki or go over the head of the front army? It's all up to you to decide."
Kitahara Ransuke put down the cup in his hand.
He looked at Lin Ze with wide eyes.
The two were silent for a while, and finally Kitahara Ransuke dragged Lin Ze to the door of the banquet hall and looked around vigilantly.
He leaned closer and lowered his voice and said, "Lin Sang, what did you find? Is it related to the inspector and his group?"
Kitahara Ransuke is a man with great potential for advancement. He is smart and pragmatic, and can be said to be a rare talent among the Japanese officers.
It's just that he came from a very ordinary background and had no powerful backing. His relationship with Colonel Matsuzaki could only be said to barely go beyond that of superiors and subordinates, and had just reached the level of confidant.
This won’t do. Lin Ze has to help him.
The faster Kitahara Ransuke rises and the deeper his bond with Lin Ze becomes, the safer Lin Ze will be.
"I just went to the bathroom, and then two of the inspector's attendants came in. I don't know if they were drunk or something, but they let it slip that they came here specifically for General Terauchi Hisaichi. They don't want General Terauchi Hisaichi to return to his post, so they want to take this opportunity to find out what's wrong with the general. They sent people to Peking in advance, and they may have already got some clues about the black market. In addition, they also mentioned a name."
Kitahara Ransuke only felt his heart pounding.
The greed for the future and the caution he had always maintained acted on his brain at the same time, and he began to think rapidly.
Based on preliminary judgment, Lin Ze’s words can be trusted.
The news that General Terauchi was going to return to his country to take up a post was only circulated within a very small circle, so it was unlikely that Lin Ze had heard of it.
Besides, what good would it do Lin Ze to lie about something like this?
"Lin-san, whose name is that?"
"I couldn't hear it clearly, it seemed to be the guards..."
Kitahara Ransuke only felt that the beast eager for a future was almost about to break through the shackles of the cage of reason. This information was too crucial, too crucial!
Now, it's his turn to go to the gambling table!
Should I report to Colonel Matsuzaki or go directly to the front headquarters?
Kitahara Ransuke took out the cigarette box tremblingly, then took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth tremblingly.
Lin Ze couldn't bear it anymore and took out his lighter to light it for him.
Kitahara Ransuke took three deep puffs and the cigarette was almost burned out.
The fierce burning of the cigarette caused Kitahara Ransuke to ingest excessive carbon monoxide, which made him feel a little dizzy. By the time the dizziness disappeared, he had already made his choice.
Beiyuan said solemnly: "Lin-san, I understand. I won't treat you unfairly!"
Then he walked straight into the crowd and walked towards Kita Seiichi who was observing the crowd at the side of the banquet hall.
Lin Ze smiled.
General Terauchi Juichi is about to be promoted and return to his country, but this guy Kita Seiichi will definitely stay here. Sharing the credit with him is obviously the option that maximizes benefits.
Soon, Kita Seiichi hurriedly left the banquet hall.
What surprised Lin Ze was that after Kita Seichi left, Kitahara Ransuke actually walked up to Colonel Matsuzaki again.
This guy Beiyuan is really quite skilled!
"Your Excellency, I have something important to report!"
Upon hearing this, Colonel Matsuzaki put down his wine glass, glanced at Kitahara Ransuke, and followed him to the corner.
"Your Excellency, Mr. Lin happened to overhear the conversation between General Echizentani and his entourage. They came to Peking with an ulterior motive. This is a conspiracy against General Terauchi!"
..........
North China Front Army Headquarters, office of General Terauchi Hisaichi.
After leaving the dinner early, the general went back to his office to work.
After a busy day, he can finally lie down on his favorite soft couch and relax.
Terauchi Juichi even untied his belt and lay there comfortably, with his chin resting on his arms and the other hand holding the document in front of his eyes.
Just as the general was reading the document, the office door was opened and Terauchi Shouichi was furious, "Asshole!"
The person who came was none other than Kita Seiichi.
He ignored the angry curse of Terauchi Juichi who was pulling up his pants, came to sit beside him, and said seriously: "Our people heard the conversation between Echikaya Tsukasa and others. They were sent by Konoe Fumimaro. This is a conspiracy against you. Before Echikaya Tsukasa arrived, they had already sent people to Beiping to secretly inquire. I think if they know more about the matter, they will first amplify the impact of this matter through public opinion, and then Konoe Fumimaro's people will question and attack you at the base camp."
When Terauchi Hisaichi heard this, he immediately threw the documents to the ground without even bothering to pull up his pants.
"What? Are you sure about this?"
Kitama nodded slightly.
Terauchi Hisaichi calmed down, "Damn it! Sooner or later, the empire will be destroyed by treacherous ministers like Konoe Fumimaro! Are there any problems with the accounts you prepared?"
"General, it doesn't matter whether there are problems with the accounts or not. If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. Even if they send people to take a few photos at the barter market, they can still use it to cause trouble. The reason why Echigo Tani is still pretending here is just to get more and more important evidence!"
Well, it was a spontaneous barter market where rations, coal and even sugar were sold.
It’s definitely not a black market for reselling supplies!
The two conspired for a long time, and finally Kita Makoto gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, we are in the light, and they are in the dark. They are trying to stir up public opinion, so let's give them a taste of their own medicine!"
Terauchi Juichi hesitated for a moment and said, "Do it secretly, don't give others a handle."
"Understood! I will arrange for Kitahara Ransuke from the Military Police Headquarters to do this. He has always been prudent and cautious, and is especially loyal to you, the Admiral. If he comes forward, nothing will go wrong."
"Beiyuan? I have some impression of him. If this goes well, remember to make arrangements for Beiyuan-kun. Such a talent should not be buried!"
Kita Makoto thought to himself, Brother Kitahara, although most of the credit goes to me, I have not treated you unfairly as your brother!
He left Terauchi Juichi's office and called Colonel Matsuzaki.
"Hello, Matsuzaki-kun, it's me. Luckily you've returned to the headquarters, otherwise I would have to go to the Six Nations Hotel to find you. It's like this, I want to borrow someone from you for two days, right? You know about this, too?"
After hanging up the phone, Kita Seiichi shook his neck unhappily. The credit would have to be shared by one more person.
