Chapter 237: Loyalty to Whom

In the top echelons of the Japanese army, it was not that no one doubted that the 4th Division could gain a foothold in southwest Qiongnan, but because they were busy launching an encirclement and suppression war against the student army, they could not spare the energy to take care of this matter, so they allowed the 4th Division to survive "tenaciously" in southwest Qiongnan, and gradually formed a treacherous situation below. On the one hand, the officer corps of the 4th Division, led by Shigeru Sawada and Seiichiro Kuroten, turned into a slave trader who trafficked in human beings, and continuously provided a variety of Japanese technicians for the Haikou base of the Cadet Army Navy; On the other hand, they were engaged in the smuggling business on a large scale -- all kinds of advanced products of the Cadet Army entered Japan through their hands, and this became another important channel for the Cadet Army to earn foreign exchange through exports.

The 4th Division miraculously established itself in the southwest of Qiong, and the people who knew the most about it were Toshiichiro Koizumi and Isoroku Yamamoto. However, judging from the current situation, they had no intention of interfering in this matter, so the 4th Division was able to continue to exist in the southwest of Qiongnan, and began to form its own system, becoming a strange force in the Japanese occupation force system.

Koizumi and Yamamoto knew that there was a problem with the 4th Division of the Tsumichi but ignored it, and even sent capable subordinates to participate in the smuggling of materials from the cadet army, out of practical needs. Looking at the whole world, the only companies that can produce and manufacture semiconductor chips are the United States and the Scholar Army. The U.S. Cadet Corps has gained the support of the U.S. government and military to not only continue to build aircraft carriers and related auxiliary warships in the United States, but also to send personnel to receive relevant training. When the two sides signed the agreement, Gu Lianyun adhered to Ouyang Yun's will and made it clear that the semiconductors produced by American companies should not be sold to hostile countries in the army. Originally, this was not enough to restrict the Japanese from smuggling semiconductor components from the United States. However, because in last year's confrontation, Japan's power in the United States' underground world was almost uprooted by Gu Lianyun, and the Japanese lost their ability to smuggle from the United States, so they could only rely on Kuroda Seiichiro's smuggling channel.

Shigeru Sawada is not a fool, he understands the stakes, so he has a clear understanding of his position and that of the 4th Division. While making a lot of war profits, he organized troops to carry out civil construction in the southwest of Qiongnan, and gradually managed the southwest of Qiongnan into a group of fortresses and impregnable.

When the 4th Division had just begun to build pillboxes and build an underground defense system, the single male was still very worried, for fear that if he did not control it well, he would set himself on fire. The situation was reflected to Ouyang Yun, but he responded to Shan Renxiong with a smile: "There's nothing to worry about, if it's another Japanese army, we really have two more hearts, but the 4th Division." Hehe, let them dig as much as they want - a mouse is always a mouse, and no matter how deep he digs, he can't be a match for a cat. That's a good thing, leave them alone. ”

The Cadet Corps let it go, and the ability of the 4th Division to make holes was fully exerted. This situation was reported to Yamamoto Fifty-six, and the old devil was relieved, and gradually had other ideas, so with his acquiescence, the smuggling activities presided over by Seiichiro Kuroda became more and more rampant, and gradually became a spectacle in the history of World War II.

The Japanese wanted to smuggle semiconductor components for the Cadet Army, but the price they paid was high. The only thing allowed to be smuggled was electronic products, so the Japanese had to buy electronic watches, semiconductor radios, and televisions in order to obtain semiconductor components, and then dismantle them to obtain the necessary components. Until Toshiichiro Koizumi builds a semiconductor wafer production line, this smuggling will inevitably continue for a long time.

The top leaders of the 4th Division, such as Shigeru Sawada and Seiichiro Kuroda, were still afraid of the Cadet Army, and they still had a clear sense of priority when they came into contact with the Cadet Army, but the soldiers below were much simpler. Gradually, an inexplicable emotion spread in the hearts of the officers and men at the bottom of the 4th Division, and even many devils could not help but have the idea of taking the initiative to become "prisoners" when they heard the "friendly troops" relay how the "captured" comrades-in-arms enjoyed the happiness and wealth on the other side. Of course, the student army has very high requirements for "captives", and it is impossible to do without a skill, which often causes a lot of devils to sigh: When you go to school, why don't you work hard?

River crabs have become the mainstream melody in the process of communication between the devils of the 4th Division and the students of the Fifth Army, but it is not without unpleasant things. The student army has its own bottom line, and the devil who violates this bottom line is miserable. It is light to be beaten, some people will be conscripted as laborers by "locals", and some people are afraid to commit yin vows, so wait to be castrated.

Those who can be selected to come into contact with the devils in the five armies are all veterans with relatively hard ideological qualities. But even so, there will be some violations of military discipline. The 4th Division has ***, considering the feelings of the cadet army, these *** are all from Japan or Korea. The devils got acquainted with some of the cadets, and some of them sold this benefit to the apprentices. At first, these devils were simply thinking about "friendly forces", wanting to add a little color to their military careers, so as to pass the boring time. And the students could have refused righteously at first, but they couldn't stand the repeated invitations of the devils, so some people couldn't help it. And with one came a second, and then this was noticed by some officers with special intentions, so they started the idea of these cadets. The initial intention of these officers was not to be involved in military affairs, but to be able to obtain from these cadets some luxury goods (such as Broadsword cigarettes) or military products (such as high-top canvas military shoes) that were restricted from the sale of the cadets. However, after this matter was learned by the high-level leaders of the Fifth Army, the nature of this matter was different.

Shan Renxiong quickly took action, and what shocked him afterwards and broke out in a cold sweat was that the most recent investigation revealed that there were more than 100 students involved in the case, and there was even a school officer. Dealing with this matter, the single male naturally has to deal with it seriously. And after absorbing the lessons of this incident, he didn't dare to let his subordinates and devils come into contact with each other. At the same time as the tragedy in Nanyuan and Shantouzi Village, the commander-in-chief wanted to try the culprit Gu Shoufu and others to give an explanation to the people as an example.

The 4th Division dealt with each other and the Fifth Army, and was in a passive position from beginning to end. According to the private statements of the officers and soldiers of the 4th Division, in addition to Sawada Shigeru, the active division commander, there is also a commander of the Taishang Division above them. The head of this Supreme Master is a single male. The commander of the Taishang Division spoke more effectively than the commander of the active division, and the meaning of the single male was conveyed, and Sawada Shigeru had not yet decided whether to accept it, and the officers and soldiers below had already begun to talk about it happily. What made Sawada Shigeru so angry that he almost vomited blood was that some of the guys who went weak at the sound of the gunshot actually wrote blood letters and recommended themselves, shouting that they had to participate in this grand event to show their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor. Well, Sawada Shigeru was worried that no one would want to go at first, but there were more than 500 people who took the initiative to sign up, and even after the last time, he had to draw lots to decide who could go, which was a miracle. After this incident, he can be considered to have figured it out. What is it to show their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, they are showing their sincerity to the student army!
