Chapter 91: Espionage War (Part II)
"Arrest all the people in the list that Lord Wang gave me!"
In Tainan Prefecture, many people's homes are full of chickens and dogs. However, what makes some people feel that these officers and soldiers who come to arrest people are not targeted to arrest a certain person or a certain class of people. Among these people were merchants, middle and low-level officials of the government, and even landlords, beggars, and some so-called scholars. And these troops don't know what's wrong, it seems that they are arresting people aimlessly, and they will be arrested if they are given a list.
"Why are you arresting me?" "Why are you arresting me?" "It's insulting for you to let me be a scholar and a beggar together!" "Yes! It's insulting! "I'm a Qipin county official of the dignified court, why are you arresting me?"
And next, Wang Guorui, as the leader of Taiwan's anti-Japanese resistance, naturally wants to come over and take a good look at these things inside and out.
"Lu Zishuo, I really didn't expect that you, a seven-grade county official, would actually be a traitor of the Japanese Kou?" Wang Guorui said.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Zixuan asked.
And Wang Guorui immediately said: "We have investigated and punished your fornication with the Japanese cowards, come with me!" ”
"You people, arrest me, and then interrogate them one by one!" Wang Guorui said.
Next, Wang Guorui began to say: "I have killed all these people who have fornicated with the Japanese bandits." Then the wealth of the landlords and merchants was confiscated, so that we could get some wealth to continue to expand our army. As for the future, we have a lot less money, so that the landlords and merchants can take out all the silver buried in the cellar to be moldy and rusty, so that we can support us in the war! ”
"Lord Wang, will this make people think that we are arresting those people for money?" Hu Wei asked.
And Wang Guorui said: "I just hope that some people think that we are arrested for money." It's better to misunderstand! ”
"What do you mean?" Hu Wei was surprised.
Within a few days, the news reached the ears of the Japanese commander Kawakami Caoroku. When he heard that the undercover agents he had arranged had been arrested, he suddenly felt dizzy, this is really afraid of something. He originally wanted to rely on those undercover agents to create chaos in the south of Taiwan and inflict losses on the Chinese troops in front. But now people are simply pulling out their undercover agents very directly, so that their undercover agents don't work. And they were all arrested.
In this way, the method that Kawakami Caoliu had worked so hard to think of was useless, and his plan was completely useless. And Kawakami Caoliu also feels strange, how can good people be arrested, this is too strange. It stands to reason that many of them are Japanese and have stayed in Taiwan for many years, so they shouldn't be exposed! But now that it's been exposed, this obviously surprises him a little.
"Could it be that the list has been leaked?" Kawakami Soroku suddenly thought.
This can't help but be doubted by Kawakami Caoliu, because these people are so coincidental, could it be that the list was leaked? But few people know about this list. That is, a few people in Japan, as well as themselves, and a few staff officers of the headquarters. If this can leak out, I am afraid it will be very miserable. If the list is leaked, it means that there is an enemy traitor in the headquarters, then this is very terrifying.
"Commander, I don't think this list has leaked!" Genjiro Akashi said immediately.
"Oh? What did you say? Kawakami asked.
Kawakami Caoroku couldn't help but think of this person who also knew about this list.
"Your Excellency, Commander. According to the information sent, our people were not caught in the net. Rather, they were mainly officials, landlords, and tycoons. And there aren't many people who are really poor, so I suspect that this list is not leaked, but because our enemies are extorting the wealth of the people. You see, these undercover agents are rich people. And when they were caught, their wealth was quickly confiscated. And many unrelated people also hurried to send wealth to avoid being killed by the pond fish. So I suspect that these are some tricks of the Chinese army, they are short of money, so they are crazy to extort the wealth of the people at any cost. And those of our agents. They were all killed by the pond fish, not by them as spies. And I think that their so-called crime of fornicating with our army is just an excuse made by the other side. Akashi Genjiro said.
And Kawakami Caoliu continued to look at the relevant reports, especially Wang Guorui took advantage of this time to arrest many people in the name of fornicating with the Japanese Bandits, and many people were also extorted from their wealth. This is enough to show that Wang Guorui arrested these people to extort money. And many of his undercover agents are rich people, which makes him feel as if Wang Guorui is doing this for money, and he doesn't really want to arrest spies. Kawakami Caoliu is also helpless, this time his spy was killed by the pond fish, this is really helpless.
"Hmph, the officials of the Shina people are insatiable, and they extort the people without restraint in this way, can this kind of country not perish? Therefore, the world belongs to our Great Japanese Empire! Kawakami said.
Kawakami didn't have too many suspicions, because he didn't think that there were traitors in his headquarters, after all, these staff officers were all from the country, and there could be no traitors. As for this Akashi Motojiro, he has just made meritorious service to the Great Japanese Empire, so he should not be a traitor. And now Akashi Motojiro has also pointed out a "reason", and Nakami Caoroku Kawakami also thinks about this reason, so he naturally thinks that this is the case.
And Akashi Genjiro immediately said: "My great Japanese empire has a long military fortune, and I will definitely be able to eliminate these lowly people and rule the whole world!" ”
And Akashi Genjiro secretly rejoiced that this time Kawakami Caoroku did not doubt himself. Because he was also a person who knew the list, he dodged it in time. And Wang Guorui is also cooperating with this, and he didn't catch it directly, but still did some cover. This made the Japanese think that Wang Guorui wanted to extort money to arrest those people, and those people have now been confiscated a lot of money, and then they are waiting for Wang Guorui to receive it. As for the landlords and businessmen who took the initiative to send money, Wang Guorui also accepted all the orders. In this way, not only can you cover Akashi Genjiro, but you can also get a large amount of wealth, which can be used to recruit soldiers.
Wang Guorui has also been a little financially strapped recently, and if he doesn't want to get some wealth, I'm afraid it's really not enough. Recently, Wang Guorui also asked those engineers to dig coal when they were not fighting, and it was precisely because the engineers went to dig coal that they fed a large number of soldiers. If you rely on that silver alone, you can't feed that many troops, let alone those guns and ammunition.
As for the other hand, Wang Guorui naturally didn't want Akashi Genjiro to be exposed, because Akashi Genjiro's future development potential is very strong, and if he can keep controlling him, then he will definitely be very powerful in the future. If it is revealed that he is his own undercover agent too early, then I am afraid that the Japanese side will be cleared immediately, and then he will lose more than he gains. So in order to avoid Akashi Genjiro being exposed, it is still necessary to make a certain cover.
"Then what do we do next?" Kawakami asked.
And Akashi Genjiro immediately replied: "Your Excellency Commander, this time I'll take a trip!" I personally reconnect those who have lost touch so that we may be able to recoup some of the losses. ”
And Kawakami immediately said, "Okay! You go and re-establish contact with them, otherwise we are all deaf and blind in Taiwan, so how can we defeat the enemy? This time we must start a civil strife in the rear of the Shina people, so that we can have a chance! As things stand, it's hard to make a breakthrough. The firepower of the Shina people is not weaker than ours, or even stronger, so it is impossible for us not to use some special means. As long as there is chaos within them, then we can have a chance. ”
And Akashi Motojiro immediately thought: "Hmph, do you still want to conquer Taiwan?" The commander is about to launch a general attack, so I'd better stay away at this time to avoid being caught in the pond! Otherwise, when the comrades who attacked did not know me, I am afraid that I would be affected by the pond fish. ”
Kawakami Caoliu didn't know that Wang Guorui was about to launch a general offensive and conduct a final decisive battle against the Japanese army. And Akashi Genjiro left at this time, just to avoid Wang Guorui's attack. After all, Wang Guorui's soldiers didn't know that Akashi Genjiro was an undercover agent on his side, and when the time came, the sword and gun would have no eyes, and the loss would be helpless. Therefore, leaving the battlefield at this time is not enough to avoid being killed by the guns of his own people. And the Japanese army didn't know that there was a big traitor inside them, and their battle plan and various army dispatch and defense maps had been sent to Wang Guorui's hands, so that their defense line was full of holes in Wang Guorui's eyes, so it was naturally easy to decide to launch a general attack.
And Akashi Genjiro took the initiative to go to Tainan at this time, so that he could avoid appearing directly on the battlefield, and he could also be secretly protected by Wang Guorui. When Wang Guorui defeated the Japanese army, even if he did not complete the task, he was not to blame for this responsibility, because no one thought that Wang Guorui would launch a general attack as soon as he left the Japanese army headquarters. At this time, even if he connected with those Japanese traitors, he would not be able to become a climate. (To be continued......)
