Chapter 125: The Unjust War has left a lot of trouble

The county seat of Lin'an County. The headquarters of the Japanese army in the Fangjia compound. Front yard main house.

"Huh? Oh, maybe, maybe. Zong Hanjun, if this matter has been fully and conclusively confirmed, then what can it be? Will there be any impact on the current jihad? Alas, let's take it as a historical story. ”

"Well, for now, it's no fun to talk about it."

"Zong Hanjun, you are going back to Japan, leaving war and death, you can reunite with your family and wife, and live a stable and peaceful life, which is really enviable."

"Reunion? Calm? Not necessarily. Nakagawa-kun, I know that your wife is from Hebei, China, and your husband and wife have deep love and family harmony. But now that Japan and China are hostile and belligerents, and you are China's son-in-law, what will your wife think about this holy war? What are your thoughts on the Imperial Army and what you have done and are doing in China? ”

"It doesn't matter what my wife thinks, she has ideas and must support this holy war from the standpoint of the future and interests of the Japanese Empire."

"There is a saying in China: a son-in-law is half a son. Nakagawa-kun, how can you say that you are China's son-in-law, China is your second hometown, do you have some hesitation, compassion and forbearance about what you have done in China in the past few years? ”

"Well, I've thought about what you've said, and sometimes I'm conflicted. Over the past few years, it has become more and more obvious to me that I suffer from split personality and schizophrenic feelings. China is my wife's motherland and hometown, where her parents, siblings and beloved relatives gave birth to her and raised her, and her hometown is only a few dozen miles away from the county seat of Lin'an County, and I would like to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law to thank them for cultivating an excellent and virtuous daughter. However, it happened to be in the area where our Imperial Army and the Eighth Route Army often fought, which made me very difficult. What can I do? I am an imperial soldier, I must obey orders, His Majesty the Emperor, the interests of the empire are above all else, and the military must give up family and personal feelings, the family has nothing to do with the country, and the family has nothing to do with the war, this is a matter between the country. ”

"Really? Doesn't the family have anything to do with the country and the war? The country is made up of thousands of families, and the family and the country should be closely related, and it can't be said that there is no relationship, right? I won't talk about the relationship between China's thousands of households and this war, you and I have seen it with our own eyes. How many families, how many families in Japan were forced to get involved in this war? You should know what kind of life they're living now, right? How can it be said that it doesn't matter? ”

"There should be something to do with what you say, but that's secondary. If the Chinese do not resist and submit to our Great Japanese Empire as soon as possible, perhaps the holy war is not the current situation. ”

"Nakagawa-kun, it's impossible for you to say that. In this war, we captured the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and they used all kinds of torture until they were executed, and they never gave in or surrendered. In fact, most of these soldiers were poor peasants who did not have much education, but their idea was very simple, that is, to kill people to pay for their lives, to repay debts, and to take revenge. How terrible it is for such a soldier and such a thought. After the soldiers and officers of our imperial army were captured by the Eighth Route Army, they did not receive any punishment, but received preferential treatment and medical treatment, and they could choose to stay or be released back to China. By comparison, how would you and I, as senior commanders of the Imperial Army, feel about this approach of the Eighth Route Army? Can the Imperial Army do it? Will the Imperial Army be able to defeat a Chinese army like the Eighth Route Army? It is no wonder that many Imperial Army soldiers joined the anti-war alliance of the Eighth Route Army after being captured and brainwashed by the Communist Party. Many of the soldiers in my unit and other units now have feelings of disappointment, dissatisfaction, war weariness and homesickness. ”

"Yes. The Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army's strategy of attacking the heart and giving preferential treatment to disintegrate the fighting spirit and morale of our imperial army is very powerful and terrifying. Now, in my team, I probably have that sentiment as well. ”

Qian Wanlin hurriedly came to the front door of the front yard of the Fang family's compound and took off his black top hat.

"Report! Detective Qian Wanlin asks to see Wing Captain Taijun. ”

"Come in."

Qian Wanlin walked into the main room, walked to Nakagawa Eiichi and Zong Hanichiro and bowed:

"Report Taijun, I just came from Anping Bookstore. I found something wrong. Judging from the location of the bookstore and the scale of operation, the cost is not small, which may be a newly built liaison station of the military commander, or it may be the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Well, that's good." Nakagawa Eiichi stood up and walked to the desk, took out a piece of paper from the desk drawer, handed it to Qian Wanlin, and said, "This matter will be done immediately!" The focus is on Anping Bookstore. Captain Qian, check it thoroughly and carefully, and don't make any small omissions. But don't be rude. ”

Qian Wanlin picked up the paper, looked at the addresses of the stores above and said:

"Hey, I understand, I must do what Wing Captain Taijun instructs, and I'll go right away." After speaking, he walked out of the main room. ”

Eiichi Nakagawa walked to the sofa and sat next to Sohan Ichiro:

"Zong Hanjun, come, please have tea, let's continue talking."

"Nakagawa-kun, we've been talking about it for so long, and we've talked about a lot of things, and I feel that we have a big difference, and I'm afraid it's a little difficult to talk about anything. What do you want to talk about anymore? ”

"Yes, there are a lot of things where we have clear differences, and that's exactly what I want to get. Zong Hanjun, I am a student of Ling Zun, and I have been friends with you for many years, classmates of the Army University, and comrades-in-arms of the Holy War. So, no matter what we talk about, we can talk about anything openly and honestly, openly and honestly. In fact, there are some things and some words, I deliberately said the opposite, just to see how you overthrow me and convince me? Zong Hanjun, you won't mind, right? ”

"Hahaha. I don't mind. In this way, we can argue and distinguish many things from both positive and negative aspects. It's just that unconsciously, I fell into the trap cleverly set by Nakagawa-kun. Admire. ”

"Alas! Zong Hanjun, this is not worthy of your admiration. To tell you the truth, I agree with and accept your analysis of the causes, process, current situation, future trends, and final results of this war, as well as the comparison and historical origins of Japan and China. However, as an imperial soldier and a senior commander, I am unwilling. ”

"Each other, each other. I have had this kind of thoughts and emotions before, but I have to face, acknowledge, and accept this cruel reality. I always remember that many years ago, Mr. Sadaharu Yabe, then head of the Political Science Department of the Faculty of Law of Tokyo Imperial University in Japan (many of Japan's high-ranking civil officials were his students, and later served as the president of Takushoku University in Japan), said clearly and affirmatively: China! China cannot be conquered by any country or nation! His assertions influenced many people, including some Japanese soldiers. Nakagawa-kun, do you know? What do you think? Or don't think so? ”

"I know. Alas, what's the use of me having feelings? It's not the same to think so, not to think so? ”

"Report."

"Come in."

Ono Shaosa, the head of the special high school section, walked in and walked up to Nakagawa Eiichi and bowed:

"Captain ......" When he saw Sohan Ichiro sitting next to Eiichi Nakagawa, he stopped talking.

"Ono-kun, this is Ichiro Sohan, a classmate of my Imperial Army University, and an excellent commander of the Imperial Army, so you don't have to hide it, you can say it."

Ono: "Hi. Wing Captain, the Lin'an Town Gendarmerie just called to report that the murder of Hou Fuping, the chairman of the Lin'an Town Maintenance Association, has been investigated clearly, and it is not a vendetta killing, I judge that it was done by an underground organization, and I strictly order them to continue the search. ”

"Okay, Ono-kun, you will do your best to supervise and solve this matter, and strive to crack the ** underground organization as soon as possible. Anything else? ”
