Spy Wars: I signed in at the Military Police at the beginning

Chapter 256: Peaceful War or Power Struggle?

"Hehe, Commander, you are still more skilled. This saves us a lot of trouble!" Ozawa Jirokuro, who was "seeing off" Ando Toshiyoshi with Zhou Ke, looked at the three ships belonging to the Army Department going away and couldn't help but sigh.

As the chief of staff of the Tiger Guards, he has recently been formulating a plan to control Ando Toshiyoshi's forces. Now that he knows that Ando Toshiyoshi's issue has been perfectly resolved, he can't help but feel a lot more relieved.

"What do you mean I'm better than you? The seas have been in turmoil since the Second Battle of Midway, so it's not surprising that General Ando had some accidents. By the way, how is the thing I assigned you to do going?" Zhou Ke asked.

"The submarine carrying out the mission has sent back news that the fleet that Jun Hougong was on has been completely wiped out, and everyone has gone into the sea to feed the fish!" replied Jirokuro Ozawa.

"You have done a good job on this matter. Once Ando Rikichi's industries are completely taken over and counted, you will get 5% of the shares of these industries!"

"In addition, before we launch a mutiny to purge the court, we must not slack off on anything!" Zhou Ke rewarded Ozawa Jirokuro with a big gift according to the rules.

Ever since arranging for Jirokuro Ozawa to send people to the sea under the banner of American submarines to eliminate many future stumbling blocks, Jirokuro Ozawa has been completely tied to Zhou Ke's warship, so there is no need to hide some things from the other party anymore.

"Commander, don't worry. Even if you send our Tiger Army's mechanized troops out to attack the city and seize the land now, I believe there will be no army in the country that can stop them for a moment!"

Ozawa Jirokuro seemed very confident. After all, after actually seeing the mechanized troops that had initially acquired a certain combat capability, he felt that even the most elite divisions of the empire would not be able to stop the iron torrent of their Tiger Army!

This is without taking into account the Katyusha rocket launchers. The T series tanks alone are not comparable to the tiny tanks of the domestic army division armored units.

If someone is so foolish as to send tanks and armored units to stop them, Ozawa Jirokuro believes that even without the support of naval guns, the T-series tanks will be able to open those small fry like cans one by one with their own strength.

"I feel relieved if you have this confidence, but we are not in a hurry yet. Let's wait until the country is in chaos first. I think our emperor will soon be unable to bear it!"

Zhou Ke listened to Ozawa Jirokuro's answer and nodded with satisfaction. He also looked forward to the day when he would lead the steel torrent into Kyoto. In addition, Zhou Ke believed that the battle, as a turning point in the Asian battlefield, would truly be recorded in the history of all countries!

"Commander, do you mean that the Emperor is going to take action against our Shimazu clan?" Ozawa Jirokuro asked in shock.

They attacked the emperor to end the war, so they could basically do it without any scruples even if there were external enemies. But the emperor's direct attack on the Shimadzu navy couldn't be for the purpose of ending the war, right? Didn't he need to consider external pressure before attacking?

What's more, even if the troops under Emperor Showa had the same combat power as their Tiger Guards, this kind of mechanized force would still be no match for the Shimazu family's naval guns and aircraft carriers!

"The Emperor's people are already preparing, but the people behind us are not pushovers either. Right now, my grandfather and the royal family are just playing games, and it's still unknown whether there will be a conflict!" Zhou Ke answered affirmatively.

Although the current international situation is severe and there are powerful enemies at hand, Emperor Showa, who has been unable to truly control the navy since the navy suffered many losses recently, naturally did not miss this excellent opportunity to seize power.

Especially under the instigation of close ministers such as Matsudaira Tsuneo and many ministers of the Army Ministry, Emperor Showa finally made up his mind to start from both the light and covert fronts at the same time, and through the internal forces of the navy that he had cultivated for many years, he squeezed the power of the Shimazu family within the navy.

Originally, if the Matsudaira family had not been behind this incident, the conflict between the Shimazu family and the emperor would have been limited. But now there is a third party, the Matsudaira family, stirring up trouble. When the time comes, whether the emperor is happy or not, there will definitely be a big fight.

"Commander, now that it has come to this, would you like to inform Lord Shimazu and the others about our preparations in advance?" Ozawa Jirokuro asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Haha, Osamu Ozawa, do you think they don't know? If they don't know, where would I get so much money to purchase resources? Just relying on my company?" Zhou Ke asked with a smile.

He had already informed the Shimazu family of this action. Otherwise, why would the Shimazu family, which had just suffered a severe external blow, refuse to give in to the internal conflicts provoked by the emperor?

In fact, even the current Emperor Showa, after learning about the current attitude of the Shimazu family, began to doubt the position of Zhou Ke's army. Even the White Tiger General who was later sent to take over the Yingzhou Army was also given the imperial order to curb the Tiger Army!

If Ando Rikichi and Zhou Ke had not been hanging out together and had very ambiguous political positions, Emperor Showa would never have transferred Ando Rikichi, who had deeper control over the Yingzhou Army.

"So that's how it is. I am the one who is stupid!" Ozawa Jirokuro is not a fool. He had always been suspicious of Zhou Ke's behavior, but now he completely understood it.

"Osamu Ozawa, you are already excellent enough! Now think about what we are still lacking. I will try my best to provide you with resources first!" Zhou Ke looked at Ozawa Jirokuro's expression of sudden enlightenment and smiled as he continued to ask.

"Commander, the factory still has some funding gap. Can you give me another copy of the Specie Bank check you wrote to General Ando?"

Jirokuro Ozawa felt that Toshiyoshi Ando would definitely not be able to use the money from the Specie Bank, so he might as well ask Zhou Ke for the money to speed up production and construction in preparation for the upcoming civil war.

"No problem, but you should go directly to the headquarters' finance department for approval! Otherwise, if you go to the Bank of Japan to withdraw money, they will have to call me!"

The checks issued by the Bank of Japan to top privileged people like Zhou Ke required the consent of the issuer before anyone could cash them.

As long as Zhou Ke nodded, even if there was no money in the account, Specie Bank would advance the money for Zhou Ke within a certain amount. On the contrary, as long as Zhou Ke did not agree, even if Ando Rikichi was lucky enough to survive and swam back to Tokyo, he would not be able to cash the check.
