Chapter 730: The Inside Story Is Amazing!
"I know, I finally know......"
As soon as Mu Youchun pushed the door open, his face was full of ecstasy, but he still lowered his voice very restrainedly, shouting: "You will never think of it, you will never think of it......"
"Be quiet. Chen Xin hurriedly closed the door as he spoke: "How can you let these two little devils hear it?"
Mu Youchun smiled, but he was still ecstatic, and he was slightly proud.
When Zhang Qingshan and the others saw him like this, they naturally knew that Mu Youchun must have heard great information, otherwise, with Mu Youchun's cautious character, he would never dare to lose his temper like this in front of several of them.
"Sit down. Tian Guozhong hurriedly pulled him to the chair next to the table, and after Mu Youchun sat down, he poured Mu Youchun a glass of water and said with a smile: "Don't worry, speak slowly, carefully speaking, we have time." ”
Hu Yingze on the side also handed him a cigarette and personally helped him light it, which made Mu Youchun a little flattered.
And although Zhang Qingshan sat across the table and didn't do anything, he said with a smile on his face: "Comrade Youchun, I knew that you would definitely make great contributions, and sure enough, you made meritorious contributions so quickly, it is really amazing...... Tell me what good news you've heard?"
He is a tasteless little person who can do anything for money, and even a traitor dares to be a traitor, and he can be taken the initiative by Zhang Qingshan to be patted on the back, which can be regarded as Mu Youchun's three lives.
It's no wonder that Mu Youchun is so excited, the information he obtained is indeed of great value.
To sum up, there are three main points.
Almost everyone who has been in contact with Ichiro Eguchi and Sasaki will think that Ichiro Eguchi's official position is definitely greater than Sasaki's, even if both of them are ordinary soldiers, then Ichiro Eguchi's qualifications are definitely higher than Sasaki's. Because Sasaki looks like a reckless man, and Eguchi Ichiro is obviously much more scheming.
But the real situation surprised Zhang Qingshan: why Sasaki is a captain, and Eguchi Ichiro is just a senior soldier, judging from the official position of the Japanese army, Sasaki is actually much higher than Eguchi Ichiro...... If you think about it, you can understand it: the Japanese army has conquered cities and territories in China all the way, and almost never suffered defeat. At this time, there are not many places to show the ability and quality of grassroots officers, and everyone only needs to listen to the orders of their superiors. In this case, a reckless man like Sasaki is much more popular than a scheming person like Ichiro Eguchi. In addition, Sasaki is looking for Ichiro Eguchi to join the army, so at this time, Sasaki's official position is bigger than Ichiro Eguchi, so it is normal.
And through the contact with the two little devils during this period of time, everyone can see - Mu Youchun also confirmed this: it is obvious that it is Ichiro Eguchi who is leading Sasaki now. It is not that the Japanese army is highly hierarchical, and no matter what time it is, the subordinates will absolutely obey the superiors. So, why is there such an incredible problem that Sasaki listened to Ichiro Eguchi?
If you want to get a reasonable answer to such a question, you can only give an answer if you have a deep understanding of Japanese society. Fortunately, Mu Youchun has lived in Japan for three years, and the standard of living is not high, so he happened to come into contact with and deeply understand the emergence of such a seemingly abnormal, but in fact a manifestation of Japanese society.
It's a hassle to explain, but I told me a true story recorded in the archives of the Japanese army, and everyone understood it as soon as they heard it.
Yamamoto Fifty-six once inspected the barracks and accidentally discovered that a Cao Chang actually fanned a soldier with a fan, as if his subordinates were serving the boss. This surprised Yamamoto Fifty-six. It was only later that I learned that this Cao Chang joined the Japanese underworld before enlisting in the army, and that soldier happened to be the leader of Cao Chang during his time in the underworld...... In this regard, Yamamoto Isoroku once made great efforts to curb this phenomenon, because he felt that the situation outside belonged to the outside, and the strict system of officers should be observed in the barracks. However, in the end, it was clearly opposed by many people, so that Yamamoto Fifty-six had to return with a feather.
Hearing such explanations and stories, everyone present was stunned, but they did not understand it. Think about it, if such a thing dares to happen in China, no matter whose army, especially the warlords, I am afraid that it will be pulled out and shot long ago.
The second point is that these two guys actually want to escape. The reason was that the assault regiment treated them too favorably, giving them a false impression: they felt that the Japanese soldiers were strong and the Chinese were weak, and even if they were accidentally taken prisoner, they did not dare to do anything to them. The best proof is the preferential treatment of their lives, the meals are served with wine and meat, and they have never been tortured.
Moreover, they believed that although this place was the headquarters of the assault regiment, it could be loosely defended, which was conducive to their escape. The reason why they felt that they could escape was that not only were there only a few guards for them, but they were also allowed to walk around in the small courtyard - this was not a prison release, but they could come out and walk around the small courtyard anytime and anywhere. This seems a bit strange to them, you know, in their thinking, once they catch the Chinese, they will either kill them directly, or kill them after using them. And once a valuable captive is caught, it is mostly tortured, how can he serve such a good wine and meat, and still be able to move around at any time?
It's just that on the day when they were preparing to act, Zhang Qingshan came in by mistake, startling them and interrupting their escape plan. However, it was only temporarily stranded, as the two of them began to think about escaping again. The main reason is that they think that the assault group has lost patience with them, which can be seen from the constant interrogation of them in the past few days, which makes them feel that if they are tortured like this, I am afraid that they will really be served by leather whips and tiger chairs at that time, and at that time, it is really difficult to say whether they can bear it.
What's even more interesting is that they actually had an argument about whether to kidnap Zhang Qingshan when they escaped: Sasaki thought that he should not be tied up, and felt that Zhang Qingshan had been censored and treated much worse than them - mainly because they had a meal, drank wine and ate meat, but Zhang Qingshan was sweet potato and pumpkin soup. Therefore, Sasaki believes that Zhang Qingshan has lost his value as a hostage. If you kidnap him, I'm afraid you will be startled, or you will be exposed in advance.
But Eguchi Ichiro thought that Zhang Qingshan came with a purpose and was deliberately sent to them, so Zhang Qingshan's value still exists.
In the end, the two of them actually argued about this, and actually made the time for escape to be determined.
Hearing this, Zhang Qingshan looked at a few people around him a little helplessly, and everyone was a little crying and laughing.
The third point is the most important and the most interesting.
As mentioned earlier, the little devil was influenced by the spirit of bushido when he was young, and then he was brainwashed by militarism for a long time, so once he failed, he loved to commit suicide.
But why didn't these two little devils commit suicide?
The answer is surprising.
As a soldier, Ichiro Eguchi wanted to commit suicide very much, but he couldn't rest assured that Sasaki was alive, so he wanted to force Sasaki to commit suicide with him. Because he always felt that Sasaki's willpower was inferior to his own, he was afraid that after he committed suicide, Sasaki would really surrender. For this reason, he even abandoned the suicide method of seppuku, which was regarded as the honor of the samurai, and chose to have Sasaki set fire to the house with him to be buried in the fire...... In his opinion, although his act of choosing to burn himself in such a last resort was an insult to the honor of the samurai's suicide, he could not only be loyal to the emperor, but also keep the secrets of the Japanese army, which was the greatest loyalty to the emperor and worthy of the honor of the samurai. From a personal point of view, he felt that he was not harming Sasaki by killing Sasaki, but helping Sasaki, helping Sasaki maintain the honor of the samurai, and even more importantly, maintaining Sasaki's reputation. For this reason, he was convinced that Sasaki would not only not blame himself, but would be more and more grateful to himself - in fact, Sasaki did so, not only did he blame Ichiro Eguchi, but he was also very grateful for his help, even if it was to die with him. This kind of behavior, which was contrary to the traditional concepts and human nature of the Chinese, was taken for granted and appreciated in all aspects of Japanese society at that time. In this regard, everyone can only admire that the brainwashing of militarism is really deep enough and thorough enough to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
And Sasaki really didn't want to die, because he still had his mother and younger siblings who were getting worse and worse at home, and he couldn't help but feel at ease, and he was very worried that if he died, how would his mother and younger siblings live? Every time he thought about this, he felt a pain in his heart. However, on the other hand, if he did not commit suicide, he would be sorry for the emperor, and he would cause great shame on his samurai honor...... Therefore, he hesitated, and in the end, he simply tried to paralyze himself with spirits to escape this cruel and torturous reality.
It is precisely because of Sasaki's hesitation that Ichiro Eguchi retreats and thinks of escaping, and because the assault group has begun to interrogate them in the past few days, which has deepened Ichiro Eguchi's worries, he will propose again and escape as soon as possible...... Of course, although Mu Youchun didn't hear them discuss: how to deal with it if they couldn't escape. However, thinking from the perspective of these two little devils, nine times out of ten, it can be concluded that they will not be able to escape, and they are likely to commit suicide. Moreover, it is even more conceivable that at that time, even if Sasaki doesn't want to commit suicide, he will be forced to die with Eguchi Ichiro in desperation.
Although a small part of these three big questions were speculated by Mu Youchun in private, most of them were heard by him with his own ears, so the authenticity and prediction are very high. In other words, the assault regiment must respond immediately, otherwise, although the final result is difficult to predict, it is definitely not what the assault regiment wants to see - only by really letting these two little devils open their mouths to cooperate and cooperate, it can not only reflect the ability of the commando group, but also make a due example and ways to deal with how to let more little devil captives sincerely cooperate in the future.
It's imminent!
Zhang Qingshan lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "No matter what method is discussed next, but I think that the first thing to do is to separate these two little devils......
