"Small selling of arms is absolutely not allowed," Sanbonjiro said calmly.
Kentaro Miyazaki dared to mention the 'arms deal' in person, and Jiro Mimoto must show severe opposition.
Of course, deep down in his heart, Miyazaki's "unreserved" frankness made Mimotojiro secretly satisfied.
"Section Chief, my subordinates are here to provide necessary military support to potential supporters of the empire." Cheng Qianfan said quickly, "This is not a business, it is to recruit supporters for the empire, and to express the empire's goodwill towards them to these potential supporters.
"
"Li Laosan is willing to defect to the empire, and the empire will naturally replenish his military supplies." Sanbonjiro shook his head.
The empire occupied Shanghai, and the Chinese army fled all the way. Now in the idle arsenal of the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai, there are mountains of captured Chinese army guns and ammunition, and there is no shortage of weapons and ammunition for the armed security forces.
When Cheng Qianfan heard this, he immediately became anxious and didn't even bother to maintain a respectful attitude in front of Sanbonjiro, "Section Chief!"
"Bag duck down!" Sanbonjiro slapped the table.
"Li Laosan is willing to make an offer...to buy a gun." Cheng Qianfan raised three fingers.
The two people's eyes collided in the air.
…
"Asshole!" Sanbonjiro slapped the table again, "How many times have I told you, don't always think about your business!"
The angry Sanbonjiro rubbed his temples. He only felt a headache. How could he have such a money-grubbing person under his command who only thought about doing business?
"Hai." Cheng Qianfan stood at attention and lowered his head, but he was sneering deep in his heart.
"Look up, I don't want my men to be yes-men who only know how to say 'yes'!" Sanbonjiro said angrily.
"Hai!" Cheng Qianfan lowered his head and said, then raised his head, a hint of excitement of 'getting it' flashed through his eyes at the right time.
…
"Section Chief!" Cheng Qianfan took a step forward, approached Sanbonjiro, and said in a low voice.
He confirmed again that this was the faint smell of blood!
Cheng Qianfan racked his brains. He needed to choose his words in such an urgent situation.
He had to secretly direct the matter towards Araki Harima, who was most likely to go out to command the operation.
It's like walking on thin ice.
"My subordinates believe that Li Laosan himself is the one who most hopes to complete the recruitment of troops and strengthen his strength before joining the empire. The decades-long warlord war has made the Chinese warriors believe in one truth, that is, someone with a gun is the best choice.
important!"
"Li Laosan hopes to be taken seriously by the empire. Naturally, he himself hopes that he will have strong troops and horses before joining him."
"With fewer people, Li Laosan may not dare to come over. The Chinese water bandits are suspicious by nature, and they may even worry that the empire will take the opportunity to kill him who has little use value."
Hearing this, Sanbonjiro nodded in agreement. Miyazaki's analysis was very orderly and very 'convincing'.
…
"In addition." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Sanbonjiro, showing a thoughtful look, "My subordinates carefully thought about it. They also recruited Chinese military forces, recruited a group of water bandits who were dispersed by the imperial army, and recruited
A military force that has strong soldiers and strong horses and is driven by combat effectiveness is completely different."
Sanbonjiro glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki again, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and nodded slightly, "Miyazaki-kun, what you said makes some sense."
Sanbonjiro pondered for a moment, then continued, "A strong team takes the initiative to join the Imperial Japanese Army. This is enough to demonstrate the powerful deterrent power of the empire and the supreme military power of the Imperial Japanese Army!"
"Section Chief Mingjian." Cheng Qianfan showed an expression of admiration, "My subordinates said so many words without any logic, but the Chief's words made Miyazaki suddenly understand."
Sanbonjiro laughed loudly and looked quite proud.
Even though I know that this guy is flattering me, this feeling is really...comfortable!
…
Sanbonjiro walked to a wall and opened the scarlet curtain. On the wall was a military map of Shanghai and the surrounding areas.
"Miyazaki-kun, I know your abilities, stop hiding your clumsiness, show your interest in doing business and making money, get serious, and tell me what you know about the Taihu water bandits."
"Miyazaki is definitely not clumsy, he is actually stupid..."
"If the answer does not satisfy me, I will issue an order to set up interceptors along the river and strictly investigate smuggling." Sanbonjiro said coldly.
"The patrol office has always paid more attention to the Taihu water bandits. The archives office has relatively complete files. My subordinates know that sooner or later the empire will attack the Taihu water bandits, either to recruit them or to exterminate them. Therefore, my subordinates have been prepared for it and have been thinking very hard.
I'm familiar with it." Cheng Qianfan's expression was extremely serious, he held his head high and said loudly.
"The waters of Taihu Lake are alternated with rivers and lakes, and the water system is densely covered."
"Water bandits often attack in small groups and escape quickly after succeeding. The bandits' boats can 'come and go ashore', and the water bandits can take advantage of one another."
…
Cheng Qianfan took the baton from Sanbonjiro.
He looked at the map carefully and after confirming the location, he gathered his energy and spoke.
"Suzhou, Jiangsu."
"Jiangsu Wuxi!"
“And Huzhou in Zhejiang!”
"These three cities are the most important places along the Taihu Lake, and they are also the most rampant places for water bandits in Taihu Lake."
“Whether it was the former Qing government, the Republic of China regime in China, or even local warlords, they all carried out numerous campaigns against the Taihu water bandits, many of which involved fierce battles, even as small as small battles. However, overall, the results of the campaigns were
The results were not good." Cheng Qianfan sneered, "Of course, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese government forces, haha."
"Continue." Sanbonjiro had to interrupt Miyazaki Kentaro's sarcasm towards the Chinese people.
"If Zhejiang is suppressed, the Soviet Union will be attacked. If the Soviet Union is suppressed, the Soviet Union will be attacked. If the enemy is suppressed, the troops will be sent to serve the people. If the troops are gone, the bandits will still be there. It is impossible to defend against them, and it is impossible to kill them." Cheng Qianfan talked eloquently, "These six sentences are
It fully illustrates the difficulty of suppressing bandits in Taihu Lake."
"It's like an eel, with many nests and extremely slippery."
…
"In addition, Taihu water bandits can generally be divided into two categories: 'local gangs' and 'guest gangs'."
"The local gangs are mainly composed of local people along the Taihu Lake. As early as the Xinhai period of China, they were entrenched in Guangfu Town, Suzhou. Ye Axiang, known as "Xiangshan Axiang", set up a gambling venue in Guangfu Town."
"After 1911, this man became more powerful and tried his best to prepare firearms, military uniforms, and ships. He claimed to have the largest navy in Taihu Lake. When he came ashore to plunder, the ships were so powerful that they caused great harm."
"Is this Ye Axiang still there?" Sanbonjiro asked immediately.
If such a ruthless bandit could be recruited...
"No more, the file says he died a long time ago." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "The loneliness of Ye Axiang's gang is also the process of the Taihu Water Bandits gradually being overshadowed by the guest gang."
…
"The Chinese people live in such a fertile land, but wars continue. Whenever there are natural disasters and military disturbances, victims from Jianghuai, Lianghu, Shandong, Henan and other places will flock to the Taihu Lake Basin. Some of them are desperate and become bandits. The guest gang is from
A gang composed mainly of homeless people."
"In addition, refugees and deserters from various places have become potential sources of soldiers for the water bandits."
"Compared to the native gangs, the guest gangs have almost no kinship with the area around Taihu Lake, so their robberies are more brutal." Cheng Qianfan's eyes showed excitement.
"Section Chief, Li Laosan's subordinates are the Kebang water bandits."
"Li Laosan plundered the countryside and attacked villages and towns. He has long been outlawed by the National Government. Such people are exactly what the empire needs."
"Where is Li Laosan's headquarters?" Sanbonjiro asked.
The focus of the Shanghai Special High School's work is currently mainly on the government's special agents. Previously, it did not have much energy to investigate the situation of water bandits in Taihu Lake.
…
"I don't know." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "The water bandits' den is extremely secretive. It is a matter of life and death and is absolutely confidential."
Sanbonjiro looked at him.
"Combining the files of the patrol room and rumors in the world, Li Laosan's hideout is most likely -" Cheng Qianfan pointed to three places on the map respectively, "Suzhou Sanshan Island, Suzhou Dongshan Island and somewhere in Yangcheng Lake, a tributary of Taihu Lake."
Village.”
"However, it is only possible. This is just the speculation of my subordinates." Cheng Qianfan added.
Bang bang bang!
Mimotojiro touched his palms and said, "Miyazaki-kun, it's true that I have always been optimistic about you. Facts have proved that you put the energy of doing business into business, and your work performance is extremely outstanding."
"Miyazaki has disappointed you, section chief, and I feel ashamed and uneasy." Cheng Qianfan lowered his eyebrows and said.
"Li Laosan Division is a group of tough bandits with good fighting ability." Sanbenjiro scratched his chin and stared at the map, "The most important thing is that they are familiar with the conditions in the waters of Taihu Lake, and if they are too familiar with the waters, they may be complicated in the future.
It has become a hiding place for anti-Japanese forces, so it is a great good thing that Li Laosan's subordinates are willing to surrender to the empire."
Saying that, Sanbonjiro looked at Cheng Qianfan and said, "Miyazaki-kun, I will fully support you in completing the task of recruiting Li Laosan's subordinates. Young man, just go ahead and do it. If you have any difficulties, you can raise them."
"Section Chief Mingjian." Cheng Qianfan was overjoyed, but immediately showed a look of embarrassment, "My subordinates' business is mostly based on drinks and luxury goods. In fact, it rarely involves arms. Therefore, the guns and ammunition currently in the warehouse are
The quantity is far from enough to meet Li Laosan's needs. I heard that in the empire's warehouse..."
