Chapter 22: Who is the big tree behind Miki?
"Section Chief!"
"Section Chief!"
As soon as the day dawned, there was a knock on the door of Miyamoto Akite's office, Miyamoto Akitetsu, who had not woken up yet, had been busy all night yesterday, and he fell asleep on his desk.
"Who?"
Miyamoto Mingzhe, who barely opened his eyes, walked to the door very unhappily, and when he opened the door, one of the subordinates of the special high school immediately said: "Section leader, Miki Shaosa went to the dungeon with a translator, and our prisoner Xu Ruifeng is being interrogated. β
One sentence made Miyamoto Aketsu sober up instantly: "What did you say! β
Miki has no reason to interrogate Xu Ruifeng, he is a member of the Blue Coat Society, didn't this Lord Shaozuo say that there were thieves from the Red Party on the railway, so he had to interrogate the embroidery girl, why did he suddenly attack Xu Ruifeng?
"What exactly does he want?"
Miyamoto Akitsu pushed away the subordinates of the special high class, and went downstairs without buttoning the military uniform on his upper body, and walked towards the dungeon, when the prison door got closer and closer, he felt more and more that this matter was not simple, but Miki's identity was impossible to betray the empire, even if it was betrayal, it was impossible to choose the weaker Blue Coat Society or the Red Party...... What the hell is going on here.
Crunch.
Before Miyamoto Akitsu approached the iron door of the dungeon, the door suddenly opened, and Miki walked out of the dungeon with a tired expression, and saw Miyamoto Akitsu not even say hello, and walked up the stairs directly from his side.
"Miki senior......"
Miyamoto called downstairs, but Miki began to walk upstairs without answering, as if the two didn't know each other at all.
β¦β¦
At the gendarmerie headquarters, when Miki hurried over, there were already many people in khaki military uniforms who were greeting each other, but these guys, who had already sat down and chatted, actually got up one after another after Miki entered the room, as if some respectable big man had come.
"Miki-kun."
"Shaozo."
"Miki Shosa."
They greeted each other very respectfully.
Miki nodded slowly and sat down in his place, which was next to the position of the commander of the North Manchurian Military Police Headquarters. Although this North Manchurian Military Police Headquarters existed because of the existence of the North Manchurian Railway, in any case, it is also called the headquarters, and the one who sits in the chief is also called the commander.
According to the official rank, Miki could not be qualified to sit here; By seniority, he should never have sat here. However, the second he sat down, none of the others showed shocked looks, but sat back in their respective places as if they were specially reserved for him.
At this moment, the commander and the remaining officers arrived, and everyone got up for the second time, and waited for the commander to sit down before shutting up.
"Next, we will convene a new meeting of the Military Police Command, and the commander of the Kwantung Army has ordered us to rapidly improve the morale of the Imperial Army in the area under our jurisdiction in the near future, and we must show the demeanor of our Imperial soldiers while stabilizing training......
Miki listened a little absent-mindedly, the so-called meeting was nothing more than three main points, first, the training of the imperial army must not be slackened; Second, there must be no problems with the rationing of military supplies; Thirdly, law and order must be stabilized in the areas under its jurisdiction.
As a clichΓ©, these contents have been emphasized every day since the empire settled in the Tohoku, and what Miki is really waiting for is the third one.
"As for the security ...... in North Manchuria"
"Dazuo."
As soon as Miki heard the word 'public security', he interrupted the words of this 'big saga': "Recently, the 'Rectification Plan' has been very fruitful, and many 'unstable elements' hiding in the dark corners have been arrested. β
The big Zuo didn't mind being interrupted at all, and thought about the problem very seriously, saying, "I've also considered this, but when Miyamoto-kun proposed the 'lockdown of the city', everyone here carefully considered it, and if the 'Shosho Plan' was not completely over, it would be too hasty to open the city gate rashly. β
Miki nodded again and again: "This is exactly what I want to say, the 'Suzheng Plan' we are implementing is jointly completed by the North Manchurian garrison and the Yamazaki Wing who came to North Manchu from Xinjing, so what is the final result we need?" β
"Do you want to wipe out all the anti-Manchurian and anti-Japanese elements?"
"What do you think about Miki-kun?"
"Even if we really kill all the anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements in North Manchuria through this 'Rectification Plan', what is the message we send?"
Miki looked at everyone and said, "It's the identity of the empire that is telling everyone that anyone who has opposed the empire must die." Will anyone still surrender to Japan? β
"In this vast land of China, do we really have to kill 40,000 people to make this the home of our Empire Japan?"
"Have you considered this?"
Isn't that nonsense!
Similar issues have been discussed countless times in the Kwantung Army Command and the Military Police Command, and which one of them came to the conclusion that it was not 'to suppress the recalcitrant with appeasement as the mainstay', but in the end? In addition to the local bandits and homeless people who can't eat, how many people from real military backgrounds are willing to take off their military uniforms and become puppet soldiers?
But whoever can be appeased, who is willing to shed blood and sacrifice to fight, appeasement can save too many resources than attacking, and what Japan lacks most is resources.
"Miki-kun, what is your opinion?"
The entire conference room understood that today's meeting of the gendarmerie headquarters was actually for Miki, or rather, Miki, who had a deep background, had made this meeting his own.
"Everyone, I think it is still necessary to find a person to become an example for the people of North Manchuria, so that the people in the entire North Manchurian region can see that surrendering to Japan is the only correct choice for them."
Dazuo laughed, and after laughing, he hurriedly recycled and explained: "Miki-kun, I didn't mean to laugh at you, the problem is ...... the Li Shaoyang incident last time."
"Li Shaoyang's matter is something I didn't think about, and it was through this incident that I figured out a lot of problems. Pacification should also be gradual, and since it is difficult for the old pedants, influenced by the subset of scripture and history, to be erected as a model for throwing themselves into the empire, why don't we do the opposite? β
"It's not okay to be respected, but what about the spurned?"
"Could it be that Miki-kun already has a candidate in mind?"
"That's right." Miki finally turned the topic back, and the whole person gasped easily: "As far as I know, there is such a person on the ground in Beiman, he is a well-known ground-sitting cannon, when Zhang Zuolin ordered the twenty-four ground-sitting guns in the northeast to come to besiege and failed to kill, if this person can surrender, it is equivalent to the entire green forest on the ground in Beimanchurian bowing to us." β
"You must know that since the Feng Department was driven out of the Northeast, there are only two groups of real armed forces left, the first group is a plate of scattered bandits, and the second group is the anti-Manchu anti-Japanese elements hiding in the mountains."
"If we get the support of the rivers and lakes at this time, then the talents who are about to start include bandits who are very familiar with the wild terrain of the Northeast and a whole group of Jianghu people who are good at assassination and various tricks."
Dazuo frowned: "You mean Xu Ruifeng?" β
"Yes!"
"Will he surrender to us?"
"You can leave this to me."
"This Xu Ruifeng only recently joined the Blue Coat Society, before that, he was just a Jianghu killer, I think he is willing to join the Blue Coat Club in addition to not having to bear the reputation of 'treason, traitor' and so on, it is nothing more than the Nanjing government people give a bet that is difficult to refuse."
"Before, we might not have been able to do anything about him because he could hide, but now it's different. Xu Ruifeng fell into our hands, if he did not surrender, it would represent the end of his life, would a gangster have the courage to sacrifice his life and forget his death in order to become famous for eternity? β
"I don't think so."
Miki had to get the information back, but Xu Ruifeng's request was unacceptable to him, and Lao Xu's request was to treat his injuries, even if it was just not so painful, and he had to find someone to send Wen Wan out of Beiman before he was willing to hand over that information.
The question is, how can Miki have the authority to take Xu Ruifeng out of the cage of the gendarmerie?
Unless, he is no longer a prisoner, and the point that can change Xu Ruifeng's identity is that there must be a chance for everyone to agree, only with this kind of recruitment, Lao Xu can come out of the gendarmerie.
And to create such an opportunity, Miki has no other way than to bring up the shameful old story of 'Li Shaoyang' as a medicine, so that everyone feels that he, a dignitary, wants to take advantage of the spring breeze and shame of the 'Correction Plan'.
The people in the gendarmerie headquarters don't care about Xu Ruifeng, but they have to care about Miki, if they can befriend Miki through this matter, so as to cling to the family behind him......
In 1934, Okamura Ninji, then deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, wrote a letter to his son in the puppet Manchurian, inviting his son to come to Xinjing to play, but his son replied that 'I had a girlfriend'. You bring your girlfriend along to play. In this way, Okamura Ninji waited with joy when Okamura Nakamasa arrived, and in addition to Okamura Nakamasa's girlfriend, there was another person, Miki.
Okamura Nakamasa introduced that this was his girlfriend Miki Haruko's own brother, at this time Okamura Ninji had already kept an eye on it, and secretly asked people to investigate the identity of this person, and later learned that this Miki was transferred back to China by the army headquarters to serve as an idle post due to his mistakes in the Far East battlefield and was being punished.
Okamura Ninji had a hunch that his son should have been tricked, but Okamura Nakamasa's obsession with Haruko Miki was like seeing the whole world in his eyes.
Sure enough, after nightfall, Okamura Nakamasa came to him and said that he hoped that Miki Tsuyoshi could stay in Northeast China, which was Miki's plea, and he had agreed.
Okamura Ninji, who hated iron but not steel, wanted to slap this unsuccessful son to death, but remembering the guilt of not being able to be by his side for a long time, he had no choice but to nod his head. But how should this person be arranged?
The front-line combat troops are definitely not allowed to have his place, and neither is the second-line logistics, Okamura Ningji is afraid that he will be greedy for life and death to discredit himself and afraid that he will not be able to raise his head due to corruption and bribery, and in the end, he remembered Beiman, and arranged him in a small city that no one cared about, as the director of the railway administration, you are engaged in the transportation head office, right?
So the whole of Beiman knew one thing, the director of the railway department was Okamura Ningji's person, and he was the only person in the entire Beiman who had a big tree standing behind him.
Otherwise, why should these people in the gendarmerie command give him face? Why did the officials of the entire North Manchurian watch him behave in a powerful manner? Why did Miyamoto Akitsu have to slap him?
The result?
It's only been a few years since he was stable, and Miki Gang wanted to prove that he had made the 'Li Shaoyang Incident', and was called by Okamura Ningji to scold him, but what can he do? This was introduced by your son, you personally arranged it, the tooth was knocked out, you have to stand up on your own, if it were someone else, just to bring shame on the empire, you would have to go to a military tribunal.
After the incident, Miki finally settled down, and he waited for the Sino-Japanese war, after Japan swept through China, he was promoted to three levels in a row and returned to his hometown, but God really didn't let you stop, and he came up with a 'military train transportation schedule' incident.
Does he dare to report this? If the newspaper is up, it is not transferred to an idle position in China, this is called leaking state secrets, and no one dares to say a word of nonsense when they are shot on the spot!
Therefore, Miki has been relying on the shadow of the big tree behind him to support these days, and the key point is that if this matter is to be exposed, it is impossible for the big tree behind him to protect him, and maybe he will be the first to strike! It's just that this old man Xu is a hard bone, and he can't gnaw it down no matter how he gnaws it.
