Chapter 1063 Dead? How could he be dead?!
I don't know if it's because Master Lin is so amazing, but almost everyone who has a relatively close relationship with him has a smooth career in government.
Indeed, Shunsuke Aburatsu is also someone who has a close relationship with Lin Ze. Even though Aburatsu thinks Lin Ze is mysterious and dangerous, he is all talk and no action. Whenever Lin Ze asks him to do something, especially to tamper with technical appraisals, Shunsuke Aburatsu always understands perfectly and completes the tasks assigned by Lin Ze without fail, or even exceeds expectations.
In return, Lin Ze would occasionally give him some information through various channels.
At the beginning of this year, the top leader of the special intelligence agency to which Shunsuke Aburatsu belonged, a rather legendary spy, was arrested in Tokyo, and since then Shunsuke Aburatsu has been without a superior.
Logically speaking, given the strictness and caution of the Northern Bear's intelligence agency, since Shunsuke Aburatsu's superior has been exposed, Shunsuke Aburatsu is in a very dangerous situation. Moreover, as a Japanese, he should no longer be trusted.
However, Shunsuke Aburatsu's intelligence capabilities were so outstanding that they were well-known in Mo City. Soon, the high-ranking officials of the intelligence bureau personally established contact with him and transferred Shunsuke Aburatsu's relationship to the Far East Branch of the intelligence bureau. They also sent some people to strengthen their forces in Beiping.
This club was established against this backdrop. To this end, the Northern Bear Intelligence Bureau even went so far as to use its personnel who had infiltrated the German diplomatic sphere, and received great help from the German Consulate General in Beiping.
Shunsuke Azumi's expression was serious. This mission was very important to him, as it was his first time dealing with negotiation and bargaining, and he had to take it seriously.
In the secret meeting room, the white man who was in charge had already begun exchanging opinions.
"Time is of the essence, we can't beat around the bush any longer. Director Vasilyev has received instructions from Mocheng that if the Japanese want to maintain the status quo in Manchuria and Mongolia without changing it after the withdrawal of the 119th Division and the 80th Mixed Brigade, they must ensure that our existing controlled areas are not touched by any force after the withdrawal of the 11th Sniper Corps."
Li Shiqun suddenly started coughing violently, a cough so loud it shook the heavens and earth, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
Even he himself felt something was wrong; this was probably not a simple cold!
But we're already here, we can't just leave now, can we?
At this point, Li Shiqun began to regret it, wishing he had gone to the hospital first.
After coughing for a while, Li Shiqun finally managed to say, "This is impossible. You're crazy. The Eleventh Sniper Army has tens of thousands of men, and more importantly, a large number of heavy weapons. If you deploy this army to the Mo City battlefield, the Germans will soon understand what's happening in the Far East."
The Eleventh Sniper Army, as they call it, is the most important armed force of the Russian bear in the Far East, forming a three-dimensional defense line spanning the Wujiang and Heilongjiang rivers.
This unit possesses formidable firepower, including a large number of tanks and specialized snow-weather combat equipment, enabling it to operate on snow. With the harsh winter approaching, if this unit were to return to operations west of Mozambique, it would put significant pressure on Germany.
Upon hearing this, the Soviet representative chuckled contemptuously, "How many times have you and Germany harmed each other for profit? One more won't make a difference. And please make this clear: is it more urgent for us to withdraw the 11th Sniper Corps, or for you to withdraw the 119th Division and the 80th Mixed Brigade!"
Li Shiqun remained silent. He really didn't understand; he was a spy, not a military expert.
But before he arrived, the list of key points that Kishida Shoji provided him included the 119th Division and the 80th Mixed Brigade, which were indeed the Japanese troops that had to withdraw from!
In reality, the Japanese high command had already realized that it was absolutely impossible to achieve a balance of power in the Pacific theater through the navy. The Combined Fleet was now basically on the verge of being defeated, and the next step was to transport soldiers to various islands and hold them in place.
The reason why the 119th Division and the 80th Mixed Brigade were so important to the Japanese plan was that the 119th Division was one of the few units in the Japanese army that focused on counter-tank warfare and was very good at anti-tank warfare, anti-mobility warfare, and anti-landing warfare.
The 80th Mixed Brigade, on the other hand, focused its training on fortress construction and possessed a very mature fortress defense system, which was very important for the Japanese in their island-based operations in the Pacific.
"I understand your meaning, but I also want you to realize that this is not a negotiation where one side is begging the other. First, neither side wants to change the current status quo in the Manchurian and Mongolian-controlled areas. Second, we both realize that the large-scale troop deployment and standoff has resulted in enormous losses and waste. Therefore, we have a consensus on the matter of troop withdrawal. Since we have a consensus, we must consider each other's interests. Your withdrawal of the 11th Sniper Corps is too conspicuous. If Germany realizes this and demands that the Japanese send troops to occupy the 11th Sniper Corps' original positions, will the Japanese accept or not? If..."
Li Shiqun was a very eloquent young man. He spoke sentence by sentence, and his entourage translated continuously. The Russian representative on the other side was clearly listening to some of what he was saying.
But at that moment, Li Shiqun suddenly felt dizzy, followed by a severe numbness in the left side of his body, and then lost consciousness.
He made two "hoarse" sounds, his eyes widened, his face looked extremely terrifying, and then he leaned back and fell off the chair!
Everyone present was shocked and rushed forward to check on him. The translator, who was closest to him, first sighed, then touched the artery in his neck, and exclaimed in horror, "He's dead! How could he be dead!"
Chaos erupted at the scene, with Li Shiqun's group being the first to panic.
These people were sent by Shoji Kishida. They didn't know Li Shiqun before. When he arrived, they were fine, but soon after he came in, they started coughing violently.
Isn't this all because of the Russians?!
The attendant immediately stood up and said, "What do you mean by this? Negotiations are to be terminated immediately, and we will report the situation to our superiors."
The Russians were dumbfounded, and then someone speculated: Could this be a Japanese trick to kill a negotiator, smear us, and force us to make concessions?
No!
We can't let them outsmart us!
Tensions rose sharply, and some people even drew their guns.
The Japanese soldiers rushed out to inform Kishida Shoji, who was waiting in the car, and the Russian representatives, realizing something was wrong, prepared to leave.
In the next room, Shunsuke Yuzu, his face grim, put away his listening device and left the building through a secret passage.
Once he reached a safe place, he picked up the phone.
"Hey, I need the Lin residence."
