Chapter 1082 Xiao Mian? he died? ([Yuelishao] Alliance leader adds update 34])

Harima Araki looked directly into Kentaro Miyazaki’s eyes.

Cheng Qianfan put the cigarette between his fingers into his mouth. With the cigarette still in his mouth, he looked at Araki Harima with a smile.

His lips trembled, and then he laughed with his mouth open, and the cigarette fell down, almost burning his pants.

Cheng Qianfan hurriedly patted down the cigarette butt. He pointed at his friend and said with a smile, "Araki-kun, do you really doubt that I killed that Chinese man?"

"Okay." Araki Harima took a deep look at his friend, "I had a little doubt, but now, I don't think so anymore. Li Wenbiao's death has nothing to do with you."

“To kill a Chinaman who is as bug-like as a bug, do I need to hide it from Mr. Araki?” Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly, with a look of displeasure on his face.

Araki Harima nodded, which was why he suddenly realized that Li Wenbiao’s death had nothing to do with Miyazaki:

In Miyazaki's words, Li Wenbiao was just a "Chinaman" and a "bug-like Chinaman", even if this person was working for the empire!

As Miyazaki-kun said, there was no need for him to hide the killing of Li Wenbiao, or in other words, there was no need to hide it in front of his friend.

"I know that Li Wenbiao's death has nothing to do with you, but in the eyes of some people outside who don't know your true identity, they may suspect that you are the mastermind behind Li Wenbiao's death." Araki Harima said.

"Why?" Cheng Qianfan picked up the sake on the coffee table, poured himself a glass, took a sip, and clicked his tongue with a satisfied look on his face, "Just because he stole my business in the French Concession?"

“Isn’t this reason enough?” Araki Harima said with a smile.

Li Wenbiao was the tentacle and tool of Zhang Xiaolin's New Asia Peace Promotion Association to intervene in the French Concession. This was with the tacit approval and support of the empire.

However, for Miyazaki-kun, this matter is unfavorable:

The conflict between Miyazaki-kun and Zhang Xiaolin originated from Zhang Xiaolin’s desire to invade Miyazaki-kun’s business and industry.

 Li Wenbiao was ordered by Zhang Xiaolin and had been helping Mr. Zhang in the French Concession to **** Jiujiu Trading's business. He even arranged for thugs to come to threaten shops and businessmen and not allow them to take goods from Jiujiu Trading.

For Miyazaki-kun who values financial interests above all else, this is absolutely intolerable.

If Miyazaki-kun attacked Li Wenbiao for this reason, Araki Harima would really not find it strange.

However, since Miyazaki-kun said that Li Wenbiao’s death had nothing to do with him, then Araki Harima naturally believed his good friend.

"Actually, I am indeed preparing to send someone to kill Li Wenbiao." Cheng Qianfan took a sip of contentment, "If he is not killed by the military commander, he will die in my hands soon."

As he spoke, he looked at his friend and said, "This Chinese man dares to touch our money bags. Damn it."

us?

Yes!

Jiujiu Trading itself pays dividends!

Hearing what Miyazaki Kentaro said, Araki Harima suddenly felt stronger dissatisfaction and anger in his heart:

Li Wenbiao really deserves to die!

“I arrested Ruan Zhiyuan before, and it was also at a Cabaret restaurant.” Araki Harima fell into a state of memory and said, “This time Li Wenbiao was killed by someone who claimed to be a military commander again at a Cabaret restaurant.”

He looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and said, "Miyazaki-kun, this cabaret restaurant needs to be investigated carefully."

“Araki-kun suspects that the Cabaret restaurant is connected to Chongqing?” Cheng Qianfan asked.

“It’s not impossible.” Araki Harima nodded.

“I have ordered the temporary closure of the Cabaret restaurant.” Cheng Qianfan said, “However, after preliminary investigation, the Cabaret restaurant itself should have nothing to do with Japanese haters.”

"You can reach the conclusion of the investigation so soon?" Araki Harima looked at his friend, "It couldn't be that Yuri bribed Miyazaki-kun..."

“Araki-kun, you are slandering my character.” Cheng Qianfan said angrily.

Then he saw Araki Harima looking at him with a half-smiling expression.

Cheng Qianfan looked embarrassed, and then suddenly became angry, "Araki-kun, did you send someone to monitor me?"

“What?” Araki Harima was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and said, dumbfounded, “Why do you need me to send someone to monitor you?”

He pointed at his friend and said, "I just know you too well."

Cheng Qianfan was a little angry. He snorted, "Araki-kun, although I love money, I will not mess with work matters, let alone harm the interests of the empire for my own selfishness."

Seeing Kentaro Miyazaki’s serious attitude, Araki Harima quickly apologized.

“I said the wrong thing, Miyazaki-kun, don’t blame me.” Araki Harima said.

 Cheng Qianfan gave Araki Harima a deep look and said, "Lu Hu is dead. Araki-kun will have developed a new intelligence agent under me, right?"

"No." Araki Harima shook his head. He looked at Kentaro Miyazaki with a sincere expression, "Miyazaki-kun, you know me."

"Of course I believe you, Mr. Araki..." Cheng Qianfan softened his face, nodded, and said, "As for why I think there is no problem with Cabaret Restaurant and Yuri."

He paused and said, "Someone in the restaurant may want to check, but there is no problem with Yuri, and there will be no problem with his boss."

"The empire is fighting the evil Soviet Russian army in Nomenkan." Cheng Qianfan said to Araki Harima, "Yuri and others were persecuted by the Soviet Russia and fled to Shanghai. They have a good impression of us who are fighting against the Soviet Russia. .”

Araki Harima thought for a moment and nodded, "That makes sense."

As Mr. Miyazaki said, these White Russians in exile in Shanghai now have a favorable impression of the empire that is at war with the evil Soviet Russia.

Moreover, these exiles know better about seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster. They know who is the real master of Shanghai now, and will not secretly help Chongqing at the risk of offending the empire.

Speaking of Nomenkan, Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but ask about the war in the north with concern.

The two had a heated discussion on this topic.

“How is the situation on the Nomenkan front?” he asked.

“Miyazaki-kun, haven’t you visited Counselor Imamura recently?” Araki Harima asked without answering.

“I’ve been busy recently and haven’t gone to Counselor Imamura’s place.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head. He didn’t understand why Araki Harima asked.

“I just heard from the section chief today.” Araki Harima said, “The Germans and the Soviets have formed an alliance.”

“What?” Cheng Qianfan was shocked.

He was indeed surprised. You must know that there is an alliance between Japan and Germany.

Because of this alliance, Japan believed that Soviet Russia was the common enemy of Japan and Germany, and had been taking advantage of Germany's containment of Soviet Russia to wait for opportunities to "advance northward."

 It was precisely because Japan believed that Germany would help it contain Soviet Russia that the Japanese Kwantung Army dared to test Soviet Russia repeatedly. After Zhang Gufeng's defeat, it now launched a war against Soviet Russia at Nomenkan.

Now, he learned from Araki Harima that Soviet Russia had actually formed an alliance with the Germans. How could he not be shocked?

Cheng Qianfan was surprised, but also a little annoyed. In the past few days, he had been busy with the series of passive events caused by the arrest of Chen Gongshu's secret envoy Guo Yuyu, so that he had no energy and time to visit and listen to Teacher Imamura's teachings. Otherwise, he should The one who was able to grasp this important information earlier did not learn it from Araki Harima's mouth.

"The Germans betrayed the friendship of the Empire, and they will regret their short-sightedness." Cheng Qianfan said angrily, "The Empire conquered Soviet Russia, and the next ones to fall at the feet of the Empire were the ignorant, short-sighted, and dishonest Germans. "

“The empire’s situation on the Nomonkan front seems not to be very good.” Araki Harima said.

“Impossible!” Cheng Qianfan was furious and glared at Araki Harima.

“One division of the empire can deal with two to three Russian infantry divisions.” Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, “Araki-kun, you must have confidence in the warriors of the empire.”

What he said about one Japanese division being able to deal with one Soviet infantry division was not just from his mouth. This statement came from a report in Japan.

This is a reporter in Japan interviewing military personnel and asking whether the empire can defeat the Soviet army.

Out of their superstition on "mental power" and contempt for the Soviet combat quality, the Japanese army arrogantly believed that one main Japanese division could deal with 2 to 3 Soviet infantry divisions.

Even in the view of the Kwantung Army, using its Class A 23rd Division to deal with a stupid enemy like Soviet Russia was "killing a chicken with a sledgehammer."

"Of course I have confidence in the empire." Araki Harima's expression was also very serious, and he quickly expressed his position, with anger in his eyes, "Miyazaki-kun, what you said makes me very sad. You should not question my confidence in the empire. .”

Cheng Qianfan nodded with satisfaction, and then he took the initiative to bow to Araki Harima and apologize, "Araki-kun, it's my fault. I said something unreasonable. I shouldn't question a warrior who has made military exploits for the empire! I apologize to you! "

“I accept your apology.” Araki Harima nodded seriously.

The two friends looked at each other and smiled.

"Araki-kun, you don't understand the situation over at Nomenkan, so you have misunderstandings and worries." Cheng Qianfan said, "The Imperial Kwantung Army is well prepared for this war. The stupid Soviet army lacks supplies. They will never They will be the invincible opponents of the Locust Army."

The Kwantung Army believed that the Nomenkan area was not suitable for large Soviet army operations. Because the nearest railway line from Soviet Russia to Nomonkan is 750 kilometers away, and based on the rich combat experience of the Japanese army, it is not suitable to fight if the supply line exceeds 250 kilometers.

After listening to Kentaro Miyazaki's talk about the professional and confidential knowledge he had learned from Counselor Imamura, Araki Harima suddenly became enlightened and determined. The two friends also raised their small wine cups to wish the empire a great victory in Nomonkan and Able to take advantage of the situation—

“Occupy Moscow!”

“Onboard!”

The two clinked glasses and cheered, and the atmosphere was quite cheerful for a while.

After drinking several glasses of pre-celebration drinks.

"Do you think Li Wenbiao was killed by the Shanghai Station of the Military Command? Or was it the work of Xiao Mian's Shanghai Special Intelligence Team?" Araki Harima thought for a while and asked.

“I previously suspected that it was the Shanghai Station of the Military Command.” Cheng Qianfan said, “However, now that I am thinking about it carefully, as Mr. Araki said, Su Chende’s ‘choose one’ theory—”

He thought and said, "The Military Reunion Shanghai Station has no time to take care of other things now, and it is basically impossible to attack such an unimportant and critical target like Li Wenbiao."

“So, you now also think that Li Wenbiao was killed by Xiao Mian’s Shanghai Special Intelligence Team?” Araki Harima asked.

"According to the 'choose one from two' theory, this is indeed the case." Cheng Qianfan nodded, then frowned, "Just as we just analyzed the case of Lu Fei's murder, we believe that this goes against Xiao Mian's style of doing things—"

He held a small wine cup in his hand and fell into deep thought, "Even if Lu Fei is a traitor to the military, Xiao Mian might consider attacking Lu Fei, and it is even less likely that he would choose to attack Li Wenbiao at this time."

He looked at Araki Harima, "Li Wenbiao's value as an assassination target is not that great."

“The murder of Li Wenbiao is even more inconsistent with Xiao Mian’s behavior.” Cheng Qianfan frowned and said.

Araki Harima was lost in thought and didn't speak for a while.

“Araki-kun? What’s wrong?” Cheng Qianfan asked.

“What did you just say?” Araki Harima asked.

“I said, what’s wrong with you?” Cheng Qianfan said.

“It’s not this sentence, it’s the previous sentence.” Araki Harima said.

"What did I say just now? In front of me?" Cheng Qianfan was slightly stunned and recalled, "I just said that the murder of Li Wenbiao was even more inconsistent with Xiao Mian's behavior than the murder of Lu Fei."

"That's it." Araki Harima's eyes flashed with wisdom, "Under the current circumstances, these two assassinations are indeed not Xiao Mian's style."

He looked at his friend, "However, this does not mean that this was not the work of the Shanghai Special Agents Group."

“What do you mean?” Cheng Qianfan asked in confusion.

"Xiao Mian is Xiao Mian." Araki Harima said, "Shanghai Special Situation Team is Shanghai Special Situation Team."

"Araki-kun, what exactly are you trying to express?" Cheng Qianfan frowned and thought, and asked, "The Shanghai Special Intelligence Team is not Xiao Mian's? Did the empire find out that there is someone else in the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team?"

"I mean, Xiao Mian acts cautiously, which is his style. However, these two actions are very inconsistent with Xiao Mian's style. This shows that this may not be under Xiao Mian's order. The Shanghai Special Situation Team Action." Araki Harima said.

"You are saying that although the action was carried out by the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group, it was not Xiao Mian who ordered the assassination of Lu Fei and Li Wenbiao?" Cheng Qianfan was shocked, "What about Xiao Mian?"

"Something must have happened within the Shanghai Special Situation Team. It is most likely that Xiao Mian temporarily lost the ability to command the Shanghai Special Situation Team." Araki Harima said.

“What Mr. Araki means is that there was internal strife within the Shanghai Special Situation Group and Xiao Mian was sidelined?” Cheng Qianfan asked.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but -" He looked at his friend who looked confused and had not seen through the fog, and raised a proud arc at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of wisdom, "Based on the information we have about Xiao Mian Judging from the situation, this person has extremely strong control over the Shanghai Special Situation Group. Therefore, compared to the low-probability situation of internal strife in the Shanghai Special Situation Group, I am more inclined to another possibility..."

“What’s the possibility?” Cheng Qianfan asked with an expression of surprise, amazement, and confusion.

"Xiao Mian was injured, perhaps during his operation to rescue Sheng Shuyu. The injury was so serious that he was unable to command the Shanghai special situation team." Araki Harima said with high spirits, "Even, it cannot be ruled out that Xiao Mian is dead. , of course, this possibility is low.”

Cheng Qianfan's expression was extremely shocked. He just looked at Araki Harima:

Xiao Mian?

he died?
