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

Chapter 790 Investigators are targeting Okamura

Gao Shengping's villa in Beiping.

Lao Gao called Lin Ze to come for dinner, just the two of them.

The weather was already getting cold, and the two men were both experienced eaters, so they didn't order any big fish or meat, so they just asked someone to prepare a pot.

The sheep were donated by people outside the city. A sheepfold was specially built outside the city, and the sheep were slaughtered and eaten immediately.

Add some chopped green onion, ginger and peppercorns to the water from Yuquan Mountain, and when it boils, you can add the mutton slices.

After the mutton is slaughtered, it is pressed with large ice cubes, which can squeeze out the blood and make it more compact to eat. The slices are so thin that they are almost transparent. A whole plate of them are put directly into the pot and are cooked almost as soon as they enter the pot. Use large chopsticks to scoop them up, dip them in some chives, and stuff them all into your mouth. The mutton is surprisingly crispy!

Then he drank a cup of Erguotou. It tasted so good that Lao Gao wouldn't feel sad even if his sister-in-law ran away with someone else.

When the mutton is almost finished, the soup will be oily and you can add tofu, vegetables and the like.

Lin Ze took a small knife, put the tofu on his hand, broke it into small pieces, and pushed it gently, and the tofu went into the pot.

Lao Gao sighed a little, "In the past, it was the three of us who ate and drank together, but now Lao Jiao..."

Lin Ze shook his head and raised the small wine cup to signal, "Okay, stop thinking too much, drink it."

Compared to drinking from large bowls of wine, this kind of private eating, drinking and chatting is more suitable for small wine cups worth only a few coins. Sometimes, several hours will pass while eating, drinking and chatting.

"Shengmin, I have no clue these days. Who do you think killed Gao Yuebao? There is a rumor that it was Big Brother from the north. I don't think it can be possible, right?"

Lin Ze lit a cigarette and said, "Brother, today we are just chatting. You must not ask about these things outside. There are too many complicated things here. Even I am afraid of them!"

Gao Shengping became interested. He liked to hear these insider information. "Of course, I keep my mouth shut outside. I don't say things I shouldn't say and I don't ask things I shouldn't ask. Today we are just drinking and chatting. Just tell me, what is going on here?"

"Hey, brother, the Japs are not a monolithic group!"

Gao Shengping was stunned. Why did Brother Shengmin sound like the Japanese were killing each other?

"Shengmin, that's impossible? I know they are not united, but Gao Yuebao is such a powerful person..."

Since he had nothing to do, Lin Ze gave Lao Gao some basic knowledge about the story behind it. He told Lao Gao that these words should be said often. Now, even Lin Ze believed that Gao Yuebao died at the hands of the Japanese.

Friends who are familiar with this period of history know that at this critical juncture of deciding whether to go north or south, the Japanese were in chaos. Even the Japanese emperor was wavering. Sometimes he wanted to support the military, and sometimes he was worried that the military was too crazy.

More importantly, in the past, the internal differences among the Japanese generally appeared in the form of confrontation between civil servants and military officers, or between the army and navy.

But not this time.

Among the southward movement there were both army and navy personnel, both military bigwigs and civilian leaders.

The same goes for the north-going faction, and what is even more unexpected is that the famous Yamamoto Wu Juku was very opposed to going south at this time, and was especially strongly opposed to a complete break with the United States.

Before completely allying with Germany, the Japanese were roughly divided into several factions: those who went north but did not ally with Germany, those who went north but wanted to ally with Germany, those who ally with Germany but did not go north to concentrate on the Chinese battlefield, those who went south but did not ally with Germany, those who went south but wanted to ally with Germany, and the craziest faction wanted to have a direct battle with the Americans and try to directly control the Pacific Ocean through a decisive battle at sea.

This shows how chaotic things are inside them now.

By now, the alliance is certain. It has been formed anyway and there is no way to go back on it. Concentrating on the Chinese battlefield has also failed. Now the Japanese are not only unable to maintain the offensive, but have been forced to go on the defensive in many war zones.

So there are only two groups left, the one that ally with the north and the one that ally with the south.

As for those who were determined to fight with Mili, even the Japanese themselves thought they were crazy.

There are several different positions among these two groups, mainly revolving around whether to talk to the United States and what kind of results they want to achieve.

Lin Ze judged that since Gao Yuebao could make a deal with Okamura, he must be the backbone of the southbound faction. But was he really sent here for a fake negotiation?

Could it be that the Japanese really want to reach a compromise with the Americans in some aspects in exchange for the Americans lifting their blockade against them?

After Lin Ze said this, Lao Gao was completely confused.

"No, they're so messy!"

Lin Ze nodded, took out a piece of tofu, dipped it in broth and some sauce made from mashed fresh chili peppers. It was as delicious as it could be.

Gao Shengping thought for a moment, "Shengmin, do you think they can reach an agreement with the Americans?"

Lin Ze shook his head. "If they are determined to fight or to talk, it's all fine. But now some people want to talk and some don't. Some are pretending to want to talk and some really want to talk. Even gods can't save them!"

Lao Gao continued to think deeply.

The Japs are finished!

The next day, the newly sent negotiator from the headquarters and the investigator of Gao Yuebao's death arrived in Peiping.

They did not take a boat but flew directly to Peking, which shows how anxious they were.

That day, Okamura called Lin Ze over.

"Lin-san! This is getting difficult. The investigator is from Mitsumasa Yonai's side."

Mitsumasa Yonai, Minister of the Navy?

Okamura continued, "Mitsumasa Yonai hoped to occupy Annan in a restrained manner, but he thought it was unnecessary to fall out with Britain, the United States, and the Netherlands. His relationship with Takatsuki Bao was very delicate. Takatsuki Bao supported complete control of the Pacific, but no matter what, they were both members of the Southward Movement. We had a secret talk before Takatsuki Bao died in Peking. Mitsumasa Yonai would not let go of this opportunity."

"Will he target you?"

"He won't target me, he will target everyone in the Army who is against the plan to go south."

"But you are not against the plan to go south."

Okamura shook his head. "He said I was, so I am. If he doesn't bring me down, how can he scare those people? The navy is such a despicable person!"

Lin Ze laughed secretly, you are a bunch of bastards, stop scolding each other.

"General, please rest assured. I will take care of this matter."

After leaving the headquarters, Lin Ze found Niu Saner and said, "Niu Saner, contact Dominic and tell him that I need his help. Ask him to send someone to Beiping. Remember, it must be a reliable person. As long as he helps me this time, I can provide him with a steady stream of intelligence!"

Dominic received the news and without saying a word, he sent one of his young men to Peking.

This young man's official identity is an employee of the American Chamber of Commerce. He speaks both Chinese and Japanese very well and is exactly the person who needs to be used.
