Chapter 1093 You wouldn't let him be a scapegoat, would you?
Upon hearing Hasegawa Kiyoshi's words, Xiao Ya also became serious and asked, "Why do you think that Kawashima Yoshiko will be a scapegoat?"
Hasegawa Kiyoshi said "Oh"; "I misspoke. I should have said that she was the one who did it."
"Impossible." Xiao Ya denied it outright; "It couldn't have been her."
"Are you so sure? Don't forget, she was originally going to target you, but you suddenly left and changed your identity several times before coming to me. After losing her target, she will inevitably find a new way to achieve her goal. Your Wen is a madman, and she is a madman too."
You really believe her so easily? Didn't she do this?
“She doesn’t only have me as a target. There are several people in the brigade command who are her targets, but eliminating me is the most beneficial thing for her.” Xiao Ya did not deny that Kawashima Yoshiko would use other means, but she was certain of it.
The poison gas bomb was probably not made by Yoshiko Kawashima. Even if she wanted to, she probably wouldn't have done it so soon.
"Just as you said, to maximize her interests, she needs to get rid of you and then let Zhou Weiguo take revenge on the empire. But you ran away, so she has no choice but to take action. Isn't this motive reasonable?"
reasonable.
Xiao Ya nodded and said, "It is reasonable, but she doesn't have the means. After going south to Yueyang, her every move was controlled by Anami Korechika. Do you think Anami Korechika would let her do that?"
It is absolutely impossible.
How could Anami Korechika have allowed her to do such a thing? It's likely that he was already suppressed when such an action was first proposed.
far away.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi didn't want to discuss who did it; it was none of his business and wouldn't affect him.
"Whether it's her or not is not important. What's important is that headquarters will let her take on this responsibility, right?"
"Behind Yoshiko Kawashima isn't just those few officers, but the Manchukuo you've supported. She's related to the current emperor of Manchukuo, and Manchukuo is also closely connected to her. Out of respect for the emperor, your headquarters has always wanted to win over people from the previous dynasty to serve you. Yoshiko Kawashima is undoubtedly the person you've most successfully won over so far. If you eliminate her, wouldn't that be a slap in your own face?"
“They don’t have any rights,” Hase Kiyoshi raised a question.
“They may not have the right, but they have the freedom to choose, and once they choose, they will inevitably do something for you. Therefore, Yoshiko Kawashima cannot be made a scapegoat.”
She doesn't have that qualification either.
Who could that be?
"It really wasn't you who did it." - Ninth War Zone Command Headquarters.
Hearing that another poison gas explosion had occurred in Kyoto, and that the explosion was so close to the Imperial Palace, Little Zhuge was very alarmed. He immediately summoned Zhou Weiguo to confirm the news.
Is this matter related to you, Zhou Weiguo?
"Sir, I swear on my honor that I did not do this."
Zhou Weiguo was frustrated. He had never done this, so why didn't Commander Bai believe him?
Why is trust between people so fragile?
"Don't lie to me. This matter has gotten a bit out of hand. They actually used poison gas so close to the palace. If you really dared to do it, just tell me so I can make some moves."
Let's save your life first. The palace has an inner guard, and the mountain city also has a special guard force. If all else fails, you can report to the authorities and have the mountain city send a few to ensure Zhou Weiguo's safety.
This is the successor I chose myself; I can't afford to let anything happen to him.
"It really wasn't me. Although I may be crazy, I wouldn't do anything reckless. I can cause trouble in their downtown area, but I would never cross the line to the palace."
Scaring someone is one thing, doing it is another.
"Sir, I value my life very much," Zhou Weiguo added when he saw that Commander Bai was not doing well.
Little Zhuge believed him.
Zhou Weiguo has a family, so it's understandable that he's attracted to them.
"Then who do you think it could be? Could it be Yoshiko Kawashima? After all, Xiao Ya left. After losing her target, she will inevitably find a new plan, and the best plan is a poison gas bomb, and then frame you."
“It can’t be her. Anami Korechika is watching her every move. She has no chance to act.”
I'm getting more and more confused.
Upon hearing this confident reply, Little Zhuge waved his hand and said, "Alright, since you didn't do it, I have nothing to worry about."
"Even if I did it, you don't need to worry so much."
"What did you say?" Little Zhuge raised his head slightly; "You're quite confident. Do you really think their internal guards are useless?"
Zhou Weiguo chuckled twice.
“Sir, he wants to kill me. Unless he can take down me, Xiao Ya, Asaka Xiuling, Nanzo Akiko, Takeshita Shun, Kobayashi Keiko, and Fang Shengli all at once, the price they will have to pay if any one of us lives will be much higher than just killing me.”
There's nothing wrong with that.
Little Zhuge nodded.
Zhou Weiguo continued without stopping, "Even if he eliminates us all, I think the commander will avenge me, won't he?"
There was no way to respond to that.
But Xiao Zhuge also admitted that if they really did that, he might avenge Zhou Weiguo.
"Let's wait for news and see what Kyoto's plans are. In the meantime, you better behave yourself."
In Kyoto, the three people in the Prime Minister's office fell silent.
They are still looking for a scapegoat.
This matter came too suddenly, and His Majesty needs to provide an explanation as soon as possible.
This matter should be resolved quickly, no more than five days. If it takes too long, it reflects the incompetence of your prime minister, your cabinet, your military command system, and your intelligence agencies.
If His Majesty doesn't concern himself with this matter, then a simple laugh will suffice. But if His Majesty does concern himself with it...
If there's a guilty person, you should kick them out immediately; if there's no guilty person, then you should find someone to kick out quickly.
"Why aren't you saying anything? We don't have much time left."
What did you say?
Everyone knows a scapegoat is needed, but the question is, who will take the blame?
Sakata Seishiro and Asaka exchanged a glance, then neither spoke.
What are they supposed to say?
"If you won't speak, then I will," the Prime Minister said after thinking for a moment when he saw that neither of them spoke. "I think we should let that damned guy take responsibility for this matter."
Damn it?
Asaka suddenly looked up at the Prime Minister and asked, "Your Excellency, do you know who this damned fellow is?"
Could it be Zhou Weiguo?
