Chapter 427 It’s chaos
Chapter 427 It’s chaos
September 7, 1939.
The Soviet Union's war against Finland did not go as smoothly as expected.
After a week of fighting, the Red Army did not capture Herkissingh as originally planned.
The Far East was also not idle. Because of the bear hunting plan, the loving father ordered Voroshilov to investigate the situation in the Far East with all his strength.
He didn't want another traitor like Liushkov or Ryushikov to appear.
As a result, a "small-scale" cleansing campaign that affected the entire Far East garrison was launched vigorously.
The temporarily established First Army quickly captured more than 120 officers with "taint".
In just ten days, after Zhukov executed nearly one hundred officers, the Military Commission called a halt to this incomprehensible purge.
The remaining twenty or so officers were lucky enough to escape the disaster.
After the purge, the Far Eastern Military Region must have been quite "clean", especially the senior officers, who were almost screened again. But even so, Zhukov could not guarantee that there would be no traitors...
Japanese spies were omnipresent, and even the most determined fighters could not guarantee that their beliefs would not be shaken.
Although Zhukov was very worried that problems would arise in the army again, the Soviet Military Commission was quite satisfied with his performance.
Of course, the Military Commission's eyes are now on the Finnish battlefield. They predict that the Soviet Union's attack on Finland may end soon, but for a considerable period of time afterwards, they will need to maintain the "occupation" of Finland, which requires a certain amount of manpower.
Moreover, Britain, France and other countries have been indulging Germany in order to allow Germany to attack the Soviet Union.
Although Germany had already reached an agreement with the Soviet Union, everyone involved in diplomacy knew one thing: don't trust your opponent.
What if that was just a means for the mustache guy to confuse the Soviet Union?
Therefore, even after conquering Finland, the Soviet Union still needed to deploy a large number of troops in Europe.
Unlike the Soviet Union, the German army fought smoothly in Poland.
On September 1939, 9, Germany launched a blitzkrieg against Poland, code-named Operation White.
In order to completely occupy Poland, Germany assembled a total of 55 divisions and 1,500 aircraft, and rushed into Poland at lightning speed.
On September 9, Britain and France simultaneously declared war on Germany, which meant that the S3 season that shocked the world had finally officially opened.
Although Britain and France had declared war on Germany, it was just a declaration of war and they actually did nothing.
Germany seemed to have seen through the true face of Britain and France. Not only did it not stop the attack, but it accelerated its advance. On September 9, the German army advanced triumphantly and arrived in the Radom area.
General Rundstedt ordered the 4th, 14th and 15th Armies to encircle the rebels and launch a general offensive towards Radom.
The Battle of Radom is about to begin.
...
Shanghai, Consulate.
In the high-level conference room, the investigation team headed by Gong Zhongxi of the Chinese Expeditionary Force Special Service Department received instructions from their superiors to conduct an interrogation on the failure of the bear hunting plan.
The target of the interrogation was naturally Chen Yang, who had already submitted his resignation to Li Xianshu.
In fact, the Chinese Expeditionary Force had already held a meeting with the top leaders of the Manchuria Railway.
The candidate to succeed Chen Yang has also been selected, namely Colonel Yoshikawa Yujiro of the South Manchuria Railway's Chinese Affairs Department.
However, Chen Yang's position is not one where he can leave whenever he wants, nor can he quit whenever he wants.
They need to have reasonable grounds, for example, gross negligence.
The purpose of this hearing is to force Chen Yang to reasonably and legally give up his position as the head of the Vertical Characters Department.
Of course, they had already given Chen Yang a reason.
That is, No. 76 failed to keep the information properly, which led to the leakage of the bear hunting plan information and caused the failure of the operation.
This reason may seem lame, but it is the only reasonable reason for Chen Yang to step down.
Of course Chen Yang was also very cooperative. He was just thinking about watching a good show. He wondered how Yoshikawa Yujiro would sort out the mess he left behind after taking office.
"Mr. Chen, I'm very sorry. You should know that I personally admire your abilities very much," after the hearing, Zhong Xigong walked up to Chen Yang's confession and said with some regret.
"Director Nakanishi, it is indeed my fault for not arranging this matter properly, and I deserve to be punished." Chen Yang looked at the red element in front of him who looked like the romantic action star Masahiro Tian Yuan, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"It doesn't matter. With Chen Sang's ability, he can achieve amazing results even if he is not on the transportation line."
"Mr. Chen, I have to go back to deliver the report. Let's have a drink together when we have time." Zhong Xigong bowed slightly and led a group of people out.
"Mr. Chen, you really have to leave Plum Blossom Tower." Accompanying Nakanishi Ko in the interrogation were Haruki Keitsugu from the Plum Agency and Shibayama Kaneshiro from the Take Agency.
Chaishan was lucky; the bullet hit his lung but did not destroy it. Even after one-fifth of his lung was cut off, he still survived.
It just leaves some sequelae, such as wheezing and coughing...
"Isn't this obvious?" Chen Yang spread his hands and said, "Someone has to take the blame. I'm in the perfect position."
"They are all a bunch of blind guys." Qingqi Qingyin sighed heavily and said, "Why don't you come to the Mei Agency to be a consultant? I think you can definitely do the job with your ability."
Before Chen Yang could shake his head to refuse, Li Xianshu's voice rang out: "Chen Yang has other tasks, Qingqi Jun's kindness is appreciated."
"Chen Yang, come with me."
Chen Yang bowed slightly to Qingqi Qingyin, then followed Li Xianshu out of the meeting room.
In the office, Li Xianshu handed the tea to Chen Yang and said, "Are you really going to let it go so easily?"
"It's nothing?" Chen Yang seemed very carefree. He took a sip of tea and said, "It just so happened that Mr. Ogasawara and Mr. Miyamoto brought the agreement here for discussion."
"I'm not in that position, but I can have a good talk with them about future development issues."
Li Xianshu sighed, looking at Chen Yang's relaxed expression, she began to doubt whether she had made a wrong judgment.
Could it be that Chen Yang really doesn't want this network anymore?
It's impossible. This net is more important than anything else. Besides, she doesn't think Yoshikawa Yujiro can control this net.
"That's good. You should have a good rest for a few days. The fighting has already started on the European battlefield, and the Empire is now on high alert."
"I'll help you with your issues when I'm free."
Chen Yang smiled and said nothing, a hint of mockery flashed across his face.
In a few days, a week, or at most a week, if Yoshikawa can still sit firmly in this position, I will take his last name Chen...
