Spy Under Sky Chapter 307

So Qin Jiu told Gavin Lin in detail what he had heard from his superior, Lieutenant Colonel Shotaro Tanaka.

Simply put, shortly after the February 26 Incident, the Army Ministry took repressive measures under the wrath of Emperor Showa, which prevented the coup from succeeding. Most of the masterminds of the February 26 Incident were sentenced to heavy penalties.

However, after this incident, the power of the army was greatly strengthened, and its influence on government decision-making also increased greatly, so that Japan actually entered an era of military rule.

The most representative event was the fall of former Prime Minister Keisuke Okada, who was a naval admiral, and the appointment of Foreign Minister Hirota Koki as a puppet Prime Minister by the military. Both the power of the Japanese Navy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs suffered a great blow. Therefore, both the Japanese Navy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were full of complaints about the military power led by the Army.

Specifically speaking of Toyama Iya himself, although he is the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' spy system in Hangzhou, his background is actually from the Kwantung Army of the Japanese Army. Not only does he look down on his colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs system, he also does not obey the orders of his superiors in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs system. Therefore, he has always been unpopular in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs system.
