Kato Masaki still respects Tsuyo Harada very much, although his military rank is higher than that of Tsuyo Harada, but to say that he understands this country, Kato Masaki is still ashamed of himself, although he also praises himself as a China expert, but compared with Tsuyo Harada, it is a small thing! If Tsuyo Harada changes his clothes and goes out, absolutely no one can find out that he is a Japanese!

"Kato-kun! Although it was a failure this time, the Governor's Department also believes that there was a reason for the incident, and I believe that Kato-kun will soon be able to regain his strength and regain his strength! I respect you!" said Tsuyo Harada, raising his glass. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Thank you, Harada-kun, for explaining and excusing me in front of the prefect's department! please!" Kato also raised his glass in return.

"Hehe! I'm just reporting the truth, and I didn't specifically excuse Your Excellency! Kato-kun, I don't know if I can tell you the truth about your deeper opinion on this defeat?" asked Tsuyo Harada with a smile as he put down his wine glass.

"Hmm, what is Harada-kun referring to?" asked Masaki Kato, with some hesitation.

"With all due respect, I feel that you seem to be a little jealous of Zhuang Quan's gang, is there something that intersects?" asked Tsuyoshi Harada, looking at Masakin Kato. At this time, the two didn't care too much about the difference in rank.

“…… This group of people has always been very mysterious, and I am also troubled by these people! When I first occupied the area, I killed a family, and it was a family that opened a hotel......" Kato Masakin nodded and recalled.

"This is normal, could it be that this family is a family member of the national army?" said Tsuyoo Harada disapprovingly.

"No, it's just a normal family, but they have a group of friends, and they seem to be making some deals, this group is Zhuang Quan's group, I remember there are four people, and one of them is the little fat man I am most impressed! It's very weird! I've always suspected that the reason why they stayed here is to avenge that family! In other words, they bought it to avenge me!" Kato said with some hesitation.

"Oh, is there such a thing? Are you sure?" asked Tsuyo Harada, a little surprised.

"Well, the people who killed the family with me were all killed, Jin Daya, Ishida Takeo, and the translator, all died! Jin Daya died very badly, and Ishida Takeo was shot several times in succession, and finally he was killed! I was also shot several times......" Kato Masaken said with palpitations, he is the supreme commander here, and he has never dared to publicize a thing, but he is very afraid in his heart! So he rarely left the county town later.

"Yes, and the later Watanabe brothers, Kuroda Hong, Ikeda Kadai, and Ono Shoji, the deaths of these people seem to be related to this sho power. Who are they?" Tsuyo Harada was also puzzled, he just saw some hesitation and hesitation on the part of Masaki Kato.

"I'll show you something...... Kato Masakin said, got up and went to his secret room to take out the watch and pen he had stolen last time, showed them to Tsuyo Harada, and then continued: "These things were traded at the beginning, and they were all civilian goods! But then it became more and more incredible, not only did he take out a sniper rifle with a long range, but what was even more strange was that he actually used a bullet from a Type 38 rifle! Now it is even more terrifying, he actually made such a powerful explosive! I'm worried if they'll come up with something even more unexpected in the future!"

"Yes, but you don't have to worry too much, judging from the workmanship and technology of these things, it shouldn't be something that this country can make, so even if they do, there won't be many! Otherwise, if their explosives increase the depth of the laying range by 200 meters this time, then we will be wiped out!" said Tsuyo Harada, carefully looking at the watch and pen in his hand.

"Yes, I also think this should be something advanced abroad!" Kato Masakin also nodded and said.

"Hehe! Kato-kun, don't worry! Since it's a foreign thing, there won't be a lot of it! Now we still have an absolute advantage. Although the Battle of Wuhan did not completely cause the Nationalist Government to surrender! But as long as we did not declare war with the United States, then we could occupy this country for a long time, maybe ten or twenty years! This period of time is enough to change many people and make many places truly become our territory! Several forces in this country have not really united, so it is still very easy to deal with!" Tsuyo Harada smiled and comforted.

"Are you saying that we will go to war with the United States?" asked Kato in surprise, he also heard a lot of fanatical voices from the country, clamoring for war with the United States!

"I don't think it's likely, after all, our battle line can't be stretched too long! I believe that the Prime Minister and His Majesty the Emperor will not be blind to this layer!" said Tsuyoo Harada, who shook his head and said, he was a very far-sighted man, although he was also fanatical, but he was still very sensible!

"Oh, I don't think we should declare war on the United States!" Kato said, nodding.

"So, now we have to regain our strength and further strengthen the defense of the county, and when reinforcements and special advisers from the higher authorities arrive, we can't make people feel that our strength is insufficient!" said Tsuyo Harada.

"Well, I will do my best to further strengthen the defense of the county! I hope that the special adviser sent by the higher authorities can find out the source of these mysterious weapons and ammunition!" said Kato Masaken as he regained some confidence.

"Okay! I will also re-expand the plainclothes team, and it is still very effective to use the plainclothes team against the Eighth Route Army!"

"Harada-kun, I'll do my best to support you!"

……

Sure enough, a few days later, Pingdu County returned to its previous order, and even martial law was lifted. However, the intensity of day and night patrols has indeed increased, and the search of the city gate in and out of the city has been much stricter, but these tasks are mainly done by the Imperial Cooperative Army, because the strength of the devils is still insufficient, on the contrary, the Imperial Cooperative Army has barely recovered to the size of a thousand people.

From this point of view, Huang An has indeed been reused. Huang An did show his ability! It's just that no matter how cunning Harada was, he didn't expect that now Huang An and Huang Shan were both controlled by Qingfeng Ridge, and even the old third flying tiger who escaped back was also controlled......

In this way, Qingfengling can be said to know the situation in the county well, but there are still accidents, the biggest surprise is that Jian Xun suddenly disappeared, even the third Feihu didn't know where his master had gone, but he just left a letter for him to obey orders at any time! It seems that Jian Xun doesn't believe in the third brother very much, and it's no wonder that the third brother abandoned his two brothers and fled for his life alone, which made Jian Xun a little suspicious, plus the third child's ability has decreased greatly now, so it is reasonable for the text message not to trust or reuse.

Zhuang Quan and Sheng Jiu were also worried when they heard the news, Jian Xun went to the dark, and it was even more difficult to take precautions, and Jian Xun's illness did not affect his general actions, so now Zhuang Quan and the others did not dare to go down the mountain alone, if there was no one to take care of it, it would be for nothing if they met Jian Xun!

However, after careful analysis by Zhuang Quan and Sheng Jiu, they felt that Jian Xun was very likely to be hiding in the county seat, or hiding in which town, judging from Jian Xun's style, it was unlikely that he would hide alone in the deep mountains and old forests, Jian Xun was still very particular about food and housing, and he couldn't bear that hardship!

"Hehe! In this case, our brothers can go to the Huang family's compound to have a look! After so many years, they have never been in!" Sheng Jiu smiled at Zhuang Quan.

"Okay, I also want to see what the situation is like inside the Huang family compound, I feel that the Huang family compound is like a castle, with high walls and thick earth, heavily guarded, easy to defend and difficult to attack!" Zhuang Quan was also very curious, and wanted to see what the inside of the Huang family compound looked like. In this era, due to the long-term warlord melee and the invasion of foreign enemies, many towns have appeared in the family unit of this kind of castle, one family controls the town, and the other strengthens the family security, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. However, the amount of manpower and material resources required is considerable. Generally, it can only be done by local tyrants who are deeply rooted in the local area.

"I've seen this kind of castle-like family, if you don't use artillery attack, it's difficult to get in, and generally this kind of castle has enough food reserves, and at the same time has enough weapons and ammunition, and there are a lot of people, and they are all very loyal, it's difficult to fight down!" Sheng Jiu said with some envy, he just wanted to have his own castle in the future, and at the same time control a small town, that would be the most perfect!

"It's useless! I gave it a few catties of explosives to let its years of hard work go to waste, so this kind of blind defense is the stupidest, it seems to be strong, but it still can't withstand the progress and upgrading of weapons and ammunition, this is a very good defense system in ancient times!" Zhuang Quan smiled with some disdain!

"Hmph! Who has such perverted explosives as you! By the way, your residence has been remodeled, do you want to bring Tong Rui and Du Mengyun back? I want to bring Hongmei back!" Sheng Jiu snorted and said, and then talked about what they were most worried about.

"Yes, I'm going to go to Wan'an County! That, Sister Hongmei doesn't have to take it back, right? There is a hospital in Wan'an County, wouldn't it be safer to give birth in a hospital?" Zhuang Quan nodded and said.

"Then how can it be done? How can it be given birth in the hospital? Of course, you have to take it back, just find the best stable woman!" Sheng Jiu still believes in a very traditional way, yes, his wife's birth is seen by outsiders, and maybe he is still a male doctor, so how can it be done!

"Eh?......! So be it!"
