Chapter 445 [The Task of Yoshiko Kawashima]

Shenyang, Liaoning.

Yoshiko Kawashima was walking on the street in a wool trench coat and leather boots. Her hair was cut very short, matching her handsome face and facial features, she looked like a handsome man.

"Hurry up, it's here!"

A group of traitor policemen ran past Yoshiko Kawashima and rushed into the bookstore on the side of the road. The leader shouted, "Where's the boss? Come out and talk!"

The owner of the bookstore hurried over and flattered him, "Master Gu, what are your orders?"

The police chief said: "The mayor has an order. Starting today, "The Rise of the Great Power" and "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" will be listed as banned books. Any bookstore that dares to sell prohibited books will be punished as espionage!"

"Okay, okay, this store will never dare," the bookstore owner secretly stuffed a piece of ocean, and shouted at the store clerk, "Little Si, take out "The Rise of the Great Power" and "The Chrysanthemum and the Knife" and burn them!"

The police chief put away Dayang with a smile, and said with satisfaction: "Everyone will be more sensible in the future. Now it is not the same as before. Fengtian has changed."

"The little one understands, the little one understands!" The bookstore owner nodded and bowed.

When the store clerk brought out more than a dozen books, the police leader shouted, "Wait a minute, don't burn them randomly. I have to take the books back to collect the reward. A book is worth 20 cents."

The owner of the bookstore packed and tied up the books himself, sent the policeman out the door with a low eyebrow, and returned to the store, gritting his teeth and cursing: "Bah, you traitor!"

The store clerk leaned over and asked, "Uncle, we still have more than a dozen books in the warehouse, why don't you send them all to the errands?"

"fart!"

The bookstore owner scolded: "How can a book that the Japanese are afraid of be destroyed? It is Mr. Zhou's masterpiece, especially "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", which has long predicted the Japanese conspiracy. The plan is clearly written. Those books should be kept well, and they will be sent out when they meet anti-Japanese heroes in the future. Don’t talk about it, it’s a matter of losing your head.”

The store clerk hurriedly said: "I haven't lived enough yet, how dare I talk nonsense!"

Not only in Shenyang, but in all the enemy-occupied areas in Northeast China, "The Rise of a Great Power" and "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" were strictly banned.

And the more the Japanese banned books, the more precious "The Rise of Great Powers" and "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" became. Many folk progressives and patriotic students secretly hid these two books, and more and more manuscripts appeared.

However, the strange thing is that although the Japanese are crazy about banning books in the Northeast, "The Rise of a Great Power" and "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" are still popular in Japan, almost becoming must-read books for liberal arts majors.

...

Yoshiko Kawashima walked alone to the official residence of the pseudo-Shenyang City Government, and the guards immediately raised their guns and shouted, "Stand back!"

"My own person," Yoshiko Kawashima smiled and took out the warrant, "I want to see Mayor Doihara."

The two gatekeepers were traitors who defected to the enemy, and they were hardcore traitors. When they saw the seal of the Kwantung Army Command on the document, they immediately stepped back and said, "Sir, please come in!"

Yoshiko Kawashima walked into the mansion slowly, and soon met Kenji Doihara's secretary, who was also a traitor, and brought Yoshiko Kawashima into the office very attentively.

After the Kwantung Army occupied Shenyang, the first false mayor of Shenyang was none other than Kenji Doihara, the chief spy.

Since the September 18th Incident was carried out privately by the Kwantung Army, there were no order documents from the Japanese Cabinet and the Ministry of War. Therefore, no matter for China or Japan, Kenji Doihara, the "Mayor of Shenyang", is an illegal false mayor.

Zhang Xueliang had already transferred the bank treasury, and even if there was no transferred money, it was seized by the Kwantung Army and used as military funds. This caused Kenji Doihara to have no money to run the municipal government after he took office. This guy actually borrowed money in his own name and used the money he borrowed to pay traitor officials.

This is a lot of money, and it cannot be reimbursed. Kenji Doihara can only repay it slowly with his own salary. Therefore, his whole family rented two simple small houses for a long time.

For Japan, Kenji Doihara is absolutely selfless.

After entering the office, Yoshiko Kawashima sat down unceremoniously, with her feet raised on the desk, and said with a smile, "Mr. Mayor, congratulations on your promotion."

Kenji Doihara said: "Miss Kawashima, I don't know..."

"My surname is Jin, please call me Mr. Jin." Yoshiko Kawashima interrupted.

"Okay, Mr. Jin, what do you want from me?" Kenji Doihara asked.

Yoshiko Kawashima said: "The headquarters asked me to go to Tianjin to bring Queen Wanrong to the northeast. Mr. Banxi said that someone under your command is lurking beside Zhou Hexuan. I hope to get the cooperation of that colleague."

"Do you have the teacher's handwriting?" Kenji Doihara asked.

"No, I only have a warrant from the Kwantung Army Command." Yoshiko Kawashima took out the document and said.

Kenji Doihara immediately shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but the dark boy next to Zhou Hexuan has a special mission and has been approved by the Ministry of the Army. Hijacking Wanrong is just a trivial matter, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer?"

Yoshiko Kawashima said disdainfully: "What task is more important than the establishment of Manchukuo?"

Kenji Doihara smiled and said, "You are not qualified to know."

"Snapped!"

Yoshiko Kawashima suddenly stood up, slammed the table and said, "Doihara-san, I respect you as a senior, and I hope you can cooperate with my actions. This is an important task assigned by the Kwantung Army Command!"

Kenji Doihara is now just an old spy with relatively high qualifications, and his position is not high. He shook his head firmly and said, "It is absolutely impossible."

Japan's spy agency is large but fragmented and has disjointed affiliations.

Liao Yaquan is a spy of the Ministry of the Army, and he is a senior spy with a single line of contact. The Kwantung Army's secret service agency can't command at all. The identity of Kenji Doihara is also very subtle. He has no formal official position. Although he is secretly helping the Kwantung Army, he only obeys his teacher Rihachiro Sakanishi, who is retirement in Japan.

Yoshiko Kawashima squinted her eyes and said fiercely: "Believe it or not, in order to complete the task, I will also kill Zhou Hexuan!"

"idiot!"

Kenji Doihara said angrily: "Zhou Hexuan can't be killed, he is a very important person. The emperor has an oral order, must investigate Zhou Hexuan's background clearly, if you want to hijack Wanrong, I don't care, but you are not allowed to do anything to Zhou Hexuan."

"The emperor's oral order? Hehe, I haven't heard of it." Yoshiko Kawashima chuckled.

Kenji Doihara refused to let go: "Secret agents, you must abide by the most basic principles. You can't move that secret, and neither can Zhou Hexuan. You can do whatever you want with the rest. I can send another man to you. One is lurking in Tianjin." An old spy for 20 years. You do it yourself!"

"Deal!" Kawashima Yoshiko said with a smile.

Kenji Doihara said: "Go to the Delong foreign company in the French Concession in Tianjin and find a deputy manager named Fang there. He will suggest that you match the password, and you can answer the seventh day of August."
