Chapter 458 Lin Sang is the right person
Seeing Sugiyama Madoka's glaring eyes, Matsuzaki quickly supported his knees with both hands, bent down and lowered his head, "Sir, it's my incompetence!"
Sugiyama Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's these bastards who are not doing their job well. It has nothing to do with you. You did a good job in this investigation."
Matsuzaki thought to himself, compared to Terauchi Hisaichi, Sugiyama Madoka was much more profound. If General Terauchi encountered this situation, he would probably be furious, right?
He thought for a moment and came up with a good idea.
"Sir, I have an immature suggestion..."
"Oh? Tell me?"
"Forgive me for being so nosy. Chief of Staff Yamashita has not made any statement on this matter. Now that something like this has happened in the General Staff Department, why don't you take the initiative to show goodwill and give Chief of Staff Yamashita some time to let him reorganize the General Staff Department. This will prevent such things from happening again in the future. Secondly, it can also show your attitude of wanting to cooperate sincerely with Chief of Staff Yamashita..."
Sugiyama Yuan's eyes flickered. He didn't expect that Matsuzaki could be so considerate of him.
But this is also human nature. Now that Terauchi Hisaichi is gone, Matsuzaki must want to hold on to a new backer. A spy chief like him has no other choice but to rely on the highest commander.
Regardless of time, place, or time of origin, a spy chief can only be a solitary subject.
"What about the selection of combat staff?"
Hearing that Sugiyama Madoka took the initiative to ask him for advice, Matsuzaki Naoto was very happy. He did not dare to hide anything and immediately told him everything.
"General, please forgive me for being blunt. The Second Army has been placed under the jurisdiction of Central China. Although it is nominally a temporary management, the rumors that the headquarters wants to integrate several armies are getting stronger and stronger. At this time, you should pay more attention to the current basic situation and consolidate the power of North China. Since the Second Army's arrival in Central China has become an established fact, why should we care about their affairs?"
"you mean......."
"The Second Army still has several military staff officers. Let them report one and we will approve it. The reason is that the military staff officers are more familiar with the situation on the front line. As for whether there will be any accidents in the end, let the Central China side worry about it!"
Sugiyama Yuan did not comment. He was a man who never showed his emotions, and he did not like to express his opinions too obviously in front of his subordinates.
He firmly believes that only things that are unfathomable can make people feel intimidated.
After a moment's silence, Sugiyama Madoka stopped discussing this issue with Matsuzaki and instead brought up the matter they had talked about before.
"What are you going to do with Tajima?"
Naoto Matsuzaki understood that the opportunity had come.
He sat up straight and said, "General, since Tajima can use the underground forces in Tianjin to test us, it is time for us to make changes. I hope to integrate the underground forces in the Peking area. On the one hand, we can deal with Tajima's challenge, and on the other hand, it will be very helpful for us to grasp the situation on the street and expand the source of information."
Naoto Matsuzaki had his own little thoughts. Kitahara Ransuke was his own man, but as the chief of the front's intelligence department, it was not appropriate for him to interfere too blatantly in the affairs of the gendarmerie headquarters.
After all, even Kita Seiichi, such a strong man, respected the autonomy of the gendarmerie headquarters.
But Matsuzaki's dream is to surpass Kita Seiichi and become the most powerful spy chief in North China. How could he possibly give up this piece of fat?
The so-called integration of underground forces to respond to Tajima's challenge means that he seized the opportunity to establish an "external enemy" and then took this opportunity to legitimately intervene in the affairs of the gendarmerie headquarters.
Because integrating underground forces, to put it more practically, means recruiting those gangsters. Things of this nature certainly cannot be handled by the Secret Service Department, but must be handled by someone from the Military Police Headquarters.
And this matter was proposed by Major General Matsuzaki, so he must be in charge of it. Isn't this justified intervention in the internal work of the Military Police Headquarters?
Sugiyama Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Then you go and make the arrangements. Who is the right person to handle this matter?"
Naoto Matsuzaki actually hasn't decided on a candidate yet, but since the Admiral asked, he can't say that he hasn't decided yet.
Inspiration strikes, and a person’s outstanding performance comes to mind.
It's you, Lin-san!
"General, Lieutenant Lin Ze of the Military Police Command is a perfect fit. He is both brave and resourceful. Not only did he thwart the other party's plot during this confrontation, he also had good reasoning and made it impossible for the other party to find fault."
Sugiyama Yuan raised his eyebrows, "I have some impression of that Chinese man?"
Naoto Matsuzaki said quickly: "He is absolutely loyal to the Empire, which has been tested many times. In the past two years, he has made great contributions to the Military Police Headquarters."
Hearing this, General Sugiyama Madoka sighed, "Our people are all collecting money, bringing shame to the cause of the empire, but a Chinese is loyal to us...Okay, it's settled, you go and make the arrangements."
Naoto Matsuzaki was overjoyed. This grandson of his was very smart. He now felt that his operation was extremely clever. Not only could he continue to interfere in the affairs of the gendarmerie headquarters, but he could also train his own people.
As for the fact that Lin Sang has a particularly good relationship with Bei Yuan, huh, that’s nothing?
When it comes to interests, even brothers can turn against each other.
Let Lin Sang become a chess piece to check and balance Lieutenant Colonel Kitahara in the future!
"By the way, Matsuzaki, you have to be flexible in dealing with Tajima. After all, he is appointed by the headquarters and is the resident minister of the North China Liaison Department. No matter what you do, you have to be careful and don't let him find fault with you."
"Hayi!"
Walking out of the general's office, Naoto Matsuzaki was in a good mood. Thinking back on what had happened in the past two days, he couldn't help but admire Lin Ze even more.
Lin Sang is such a lucky guy!
Now that I think about it, if I hadn't killed those people at that time, the situation would not have been handled well no matter what.
I was still a little angry at the time and didn't consider the subsequent impact.
I shouldn't have been there. If I showed up, wouldn't that be exactly what the other party wanted? Now that I think about it, I'm afraid the other party just wants me to show up, and then still not give me face, making me lose face.
Lin Sang's seemingly impulsive shooting actually solved a big problem!
Wonderful!
Matsuzaki is a smart man. If he wasn't smart, he wouldn't be in this position. He was angry and anxious at the time, so he didn't react. He reacted quickly afterwards.
The Japanese attached great importance to face. If Matsuzaki had really gone out and scolded those Japanese, and those Japanese had ridiculed Matsuzaki in front of everyone, then he would have lost all his face.
He fell into Hikotaro Tajima's trap.
The more Matsuzaki thought about it, the more he felt that he was amazing. Not only was he smart, he was also lucky. With Lin Sang as his lucky general, wouldn't he be able to accomplish a lot of things?
As I thought about it, I actually laughed out loud.
This made several attendant officers look at each other in bewilderment.
Damn, what’s wrong with the Major General? What did Lord Sugiyama Madoka promise him that made him so happy!
