Damn it, the Tojo Old Devil has arrived! This is trouble!
After emerging from the underground passage and leaving the New Continental Hotel, Ze Anzhi returned to his room at the Gendarmerie. He locked the door and immediately switched to the skin of Kujou Yuuma—no, Prince Yuhito.
With a ten-second countdown, Ze Anzhi confirmed that only Takaishi and One were nearby. He closed his eyes, preparing to absorb the memories. Fortunately, the time spent in this new skin was brief; he finished absorbing over half a year's worth of memories in less than a second.
Takatsukasa Chikurin and Ichitaro were reporting on tonight's arrangements.
"Your Highness, the Tojo Old Devil landed at the airport this afternoon and will arrive at the New Continental Hotel tonight. The security measures have already been preliminarily checked by the Gendarmerie Headquarters and Special High Class. We will conduct another check before his arrival."
"Takaishi, although that old man Tojo Hideki is unpleasant, he is still a lieutenant general. We can only refer to him as 'Old Devil' in private. Don't let it slip; it would put us in a difficult position!"
"Yes, Your Highness, I will be careful."
"What about the Security Team's plans?"
"The current scale is set at eight teams as a supplement to the Kwantung Army, stationed just outside their base."
"Where exactly will they be located?"
The sycophantic Ichitaro quickly spread out a map in front of Kujou. Takaishi pointed to several locations. "Here, here, and here."
"So one location will have two teams?"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
"By the way, has Asuka Ryo returned yet?"
"He has returned; Asuka Ryo arrived today. I have already moved his military uniform and credentials."
"Asuka Ryo has made significant progress this time! He infiltrated Thomas Mellon Rockefeller's group in Germany and even acquired an SS identity."
"Oh! Your Highness! Does this mean we have an opportunity with Germany?"
"I will discuss this matter with His Majesty, the Cabinet, and the Foreign Ministry during my next visit back home. Asuka Ryo will accompany me. Takaishi, One, Asuka Ryo is my close aide; you must cooperate sincerely with him for the future of our empire!"
The two sycophants immediately bowed deeply. "Yes!"
"What news has come from home regarding Tojo's visit?"
"Your Highness, after you were personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor as Prince to govern all of Manchuria, there was significant dissent from Military Headquarters—especially regarding the allegiance of the Kwantung Army. They raised this issue before His Majesty several times until he became furious and presented evidence from your last purge of the Kwantung Army. Only then did Military Headquarters finally relent. However, they devised another plan: it is inappropriate for you to be both commander of the Kwantung Army and control the Gendarmerie simultaneously. Thus, the Tojo Old Devil was dispatched here. The family exerted considerable influence trying to stop it but to no avail."
"Sigh, when soldiers come, we block them; when water comes, we dam it. Since he has come, we must ensure he cannot return!"
"Your Highness! Should I arrange for someone—" One made a gesture mimicking a knife with his hand.
Confused, the prince exclaimed, "Even if we have to take action, it absolutely cannot be one of our own! Do you understand?"
"Then what about Lieutenant Commander Asuka? I remember he has an undercover identity within the Guomindang in Huaxia. Why not let him handle it?"
"No, no, no! Asuka Ryo is one of us. How could we possibly send an imperial subject like him into danger?"
"Your Highness, you misunderstand! We can have Lieutenant Commander Asuka use his identity to relay messages to the Guomindang, and let them take action instead. What do you think?"
"That is worth considering. Takaishi, Asuka Ryo's military rank still doesn't allow him to meet with me. Speak with him and see if he has any ideas! If it’s too dangerous, I would rather deal with Tojo Old Devil myself than let Asuka Ryo take risks."
"Understood, I will go right away."
"Don't rush. If Tojo Old Devil dies as soon as he arrives, it will clearly indicate that we were involved. Let's wait a few days; at least let him settle in before we act!"
"Got it!"
