Chapter 175 Something is wrong
When Zhou Zhengqing saw Shunsuke Nakamura and Doihara coming in, followed by a beautiful woman in military uniform, his eyes were blank for a moment.
But she recovered quickly, and was also surprised that Nanzō Yunko's beauty was indeed as good as her reputation. She was almost as beautiful as those retouched artificial beauties she had seen in videos before she traveled through time.
At the same time, Nanzō Yunko also noticed Zhou Zhengqing's momentary distraction, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
"General, I heard that you were nearly killed in a bombing yesterday? How are you, is everything okay?" Zhou Zhengqing sat behind his desk with a carefree attitude, and had no intention of getting up to greet him.
Doihara frowned and sighed inwardly. Although he had guessed this would happen, he still felt uncomfortable facing it in person. However, since he didn't scold him directly, it meant that Nakamura Shunsuke had indeed contributed.
"Hmph, Captain Takazaki, stop laughing at me. I heard that you were almost poisoned to death!" Doihara retorted. Without waiting for Zhou Zhengqing to let him sit down, he sat down opposite Zhou Zhengqing.
As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhou Zhengqing on the opposite side said anything, Doihara felt as if he was being stared at again, and his neck felt cold.
He turned his head stiffly and saw Sakurako standing beside him with her head hunched over. She raised her head with a pair of cold eyes staring at him!
Uh!
Doihara's throat felt a little dry, so he quickly shifted his gaze.
I was actually frightened by a little maid. Am I really old?! I was a powerful figure in the past, and I played with so many powerful people. How come I don’t dare to look into the eyes of a little girl now!
Zhou Zhengqing also noticed Doihara's abnormality and looked at Sakurako in surprise. He saw that although Sakurako was bent over, her head was stubbornly raised and she was staring at Doihara. He immediately felt something was wrong.
This spirited little maid of mine is in a bad mood because of Reiko, so I hope she won't explode on the spot.
"Ahem! Sakurako! Go make some tea!" Thinking of this, Zhou Zhengqing had to speak up to interrupt Sakurako's death stare.
Sakurako shuddered, hearing dissatisfaction in Zhou Zhengqing's tone, and quickly lowered her head and walked out in small steps.
It was not until Sakurako left the office that Doihara's stiff expression gradually relaxed. He looked at Zhou Zhengqing with a smile and said, "As expected of an old noble, the maids he trained to serve others have such a strong aura. An old man like me can hardly stand it!
I just don't know why you, the maid, seem to have such a big problem with me!"
"Haha, General, you think too much. She is from a small place and has never seen the lieutenant general. She is just curious about you! Don't think too much."
"Captain Takazaki, your joke is really dull." Doihara sneered, and then said: "Let's not beat around the bush. I'm sure Major Nakamura has already told you the purpose of my visit."
"Yes, and I agree with you. There is an old Chinese saying that goes, 'A tree won't grow straight if it's not pruned.' The same can be said about people. I don't know what you think of the police department, but in my opinion, they are a cancer. It's time to fix them."
Zhou Zhengqing saw that Doihara wanted to refute, so he waved his hand to stop him and said, "I know what you want to say. You are very confident in your methods and think you can control them well."
Doihara opened his mouth, but when he thought of Gao Bin, he was suddenly speechless.
Zhou Zhengqing sneered: "Do you know how foreigners evaluate you?"
Doihara was really curious now. He only knew that he had the reputation of "Lawrence of the East", but he didn't think he would hear anything good from Zhou Zhengqing.
Doihara remained silent, so Zhou Zhengqing continued, "They say that among the Japanese, there is always a person who is always active and active. No matter where he is, as long as he is involved, even if he writes a few words or makes some incitement, there will definitely be trouble.
General, who do you think this person is talking about?"
Doihara's face turned slightly red, but he still maintained a calm smile: "I am working hard for the empire. Those troubles are beneficial to the empire in the end! Otherwise, I would not have been promoted to lieutenant general for my merits."
"Indeed, but that was your previous contribution. You made an indelible contribution to the establishment of Manchukuo. But what about the past few years? Your successive failures in North China, don't they prove something? You are no longer capable, and it's time to step down and let others take over.
You were actually played around by your own student Gao Bin. What do you have to be proud of?"
"But Manchukuo has proven that my strategy is correct! Using Chinese people to manage Chinese people is an extremely effective method! Manchukuo has developed very rapidly in recent years."
The failure of several plans in North China was indeed a pain point for Tu Feiyuan. He wanted to help the empire gain control of North China with the least casualties, but unfortunately they all failed.
"Haha, yes, Manchukuo has developed quite well, but you are not satisfied." Zhou Zhengqing sneered.
"What do you mean? Why shouldn't I be satisfied? I'm already a lieutenant general!" The fat man asked with a smile.
"The empire is about to launch a full-scale invasion of China. Am I right about this?" Zhou Zhengqing asked.
Tu Feiyuan was not surprised at all that Zhou Zhengqing knew about this, and he believed that the empire's plan could not be kept secret for a long time.
Even China must have noticed something, but he didn't think it would be of any use if China knew about it. The strength of the two countries was not equal, so even if China knew about it, resistance would be futile.
"That's what you want to say?"
Nakamura Shunsuke was shocked when he heard this. He had no idea about this matter. This was the first time he heard this news. In comparison, Itai Yudai and others who had a deep background had already known some news.
Zhou Zhengqing straightened his body, stared at Doihara with a sharp gaze, and said, "I'm telling you, the desires deep in your heart are not limited to this.
What you are pursuing is not as simple as establishing a so-called "Manchukuo", because that is just adding a place for the empire to seize resources and seek personal gain.
And in name, "Manchukuo" was still an independent country.
It is for this reason that you were transferred from the intelligence agency! It's a pity that you really overestimated the courage of those imperial high-ranking officials.
After all, there is already such a successful precedent, the existence of Manchukuo. Therefore, they will definitely apply this model to other places in China without hesitation. "
Zhou Zhengqing's words were like a sharp sword piercing Doihara's heart, causing the smile on the latter's face to freeze for a moment.
Zhou Zhengqing felt that the change in Doihara's expression at this moment was by no means a disguise, because his words had actually exposed the most secret plot in his heart.
That was Doihara's reaction at that moment, especially the momentary flash of depth in his eyes.
Zhou Zhengqing felt as if something was wrong!
Doihara was very cooperative.
It seems like everything is developing step by step according to the predetermined trajectory.
Doihara was like a man being led by the nose, and he did not show the cunning that an old spy should have.
But these were just Zhou Zhengqing's vague feelings.
I told myself that I must be overthinking it.
