Nomura Iwa shut his mouth after saying these words. They both have delicate hearts, and they are the same kind of goods. Everyone understands the point. [.Com text] Regarding Kitano Takatsu as a person, Nomura Iwa asked himself that he is better than his family.
We also need to understand him. He is as lustful as life, and it is true that he claims that he cannot live without a woman for a day. Although there is some inheritance from his pervert father, there are also other things on his mind.
Kitano Takatsu was sent to the Army by his family. Nomura Iwa knew very well who in their family had done the trick. At this time of war, there was still no one who could be transferred to a high-level headquarters that did not require him to go to the battlefield. Among them, a certain powerful figure in his family
Nomura Iwa also knew very well what he had done.
Although the Fourth Division has been stationed in Manchuria, it seems very leisurely and safe. But who can guarantee that when the front line in China Pass is getting longer and longer, and the troops have been used to the limit, as the first batch of Japanese troops
One of the fully-staffed divisions formed, the Fourth Division will not be deployed on the battlefield.
Moreover, Manchuria is becoming more and more unsafe now. They may be sent out to fight against the ruthless bandits in Jiangbei at any time who have swallowed up a large number of elite troops of the imperial army. They are still left in the frontline combat troops. With their family's strength,
Energy, if no one has done anything in it, you won't even believe it if you say it's a ghost.
There are not a few children from Osaka's chaebol families, including those from Tokyo's noble families, who join the army. But in peacetime, they may be gold-plated in the front-line combat troops. But in wartime, except for a few fanatics, there are not none who stay on the battlefield.
But it really can’t be called much.
The high-ranking officials in the empire always laugh at the prevalence of nepotism in the Chinese army, but both Nomura Iwa and Kitano Takatsu know that nepotism is much more severe in the imperial army than in the Chinese army. Even those poor children from so-called peasant families eventually climbed up the ranks.
Although a person who has reached the position of a general has no family background to rely on, has he not found a good father-in-law? Simply relying on his own efforts does not matter. In the army where relationships are prevalent, wanting to reach the position of a general is better than reaching the sky.
It's difficult.
Like the current commander of the Kwantung Army, he came from a poor background and relied solely on his own ability to get up. It cannot be said that he has no chance, but he can be said to be a feather in his cap. But even without the support of a family member in the military family, the wife of the general's deceased wife was born
The family background of the famous imperial officer should not be underestimated.
This time, Kitano Takatsu was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and was transferred from the front-line combat unit, but it was not his family who came forward. Nomura Iwa knew that if his uncle in the staff headquarters had not helped him, he would have defended Jiamusi last time. This cannot be said to be a credit.
, was promoted to lieutenant colonel and found a relatively safe job at the division headquarters. Now he may have to lead troops on the front line. With the war going so far, not even the division commander can be spared. It would be terrible if a captain died.
It's not a difficult thing.
Even during the battle, there is a possibility of being shot in the back. The Fourth Division may not have many people loyal to the emperor, but there are countless people who are crazy about getting rich. Needless to say, look for
It is not difficult for a person to shoot Kitano in the back on the battlefield. Moreover, in the chaotic situation of the battlefield, there is no place to search.
Obviously, even as a young boy, I knew this, so I was always very careful whether I was attacking the anti-Manchurian armed forces or fighting them face-to-face. I would rather be accused of fear of death than to save my life first. This guy is in Manchuria
Making such a big noise was undoubtedly a disguised demonstration against his family.
This guy has never given up the idea of competing for the family heir. Otherwise, he would not have jumped up and down as soon as he arrived at the Fourth Division, and tightly attracted the children of the plutocratic families in the Fourth Division to his side. Even if the family made it clear that he would
He was an outcast, and with the children of aristocratic families in the military around him and the power behind them, people in the family had to think twice even if they wanted to move him, right?
This guy is afraid of death, let alone death, and wants to live no matter what. Fighting to the death and dedicating himself to the emperor are never what a man with lofty ambitions like him would do. It is precisely because of this confidence that Nomura Iwa dares to surrender to the emperor.
The leader of the anti-Manchurian armed forces promised that he could persuade this guy to surrender because they were all the same people. Nomura Iwa believed that Kitano Takatsu would think it through.
It's just that Kitano Takatsu looks lecherous and greedy on the surface, but in fact he has a very active mind. Otherwise, those children in the division who were born in the scheming plutocratic families since childhood would not entrust the smuggling business of the Fourth Division to him, let alone
At least they showed their support for him on the surface. Although he was somewhat unpopular among the division commanders, he was extremely popular among the middle and lower-level officers of the Fourth Division.
As far as Nomura Iwa knew, if the children of these aristocratic families had not jointly put pressure on Sawada Shigeru, I am afraid that after the defeat in Ning'an, Sawada Shigeru would have taken action against this guy. Although Sawada Shigeru was not very familiar with his family, he
The elder brother of Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, who is now the representative of the Kitano family in Manchuria, was his eldest brother's capable subordinate in his early years. Having said so much now, he should have figured it out.
Sure enough, shortly after Nomura Iwa's words fell, Kitano Takatsu squinted his eyes and looked at him for a long time and said: "Nomura-kun, you are a guy who has always been unwilling to do anything early. If you work so hard to encourage us to surrender, you are not accepting them.
What benefit or promise?"
In response to Kitano Takatsu's rhetorical question, Nomura Iwa said without hiding anything: "Yes, the people over there have agreed. As long as I can persuade you to put down your weapons, they will not only release me, but also help me cover up my capture. As for you,
They also agreed that as long as you hand over the liquidity used by the Fourth Division for smuggling, you will receive the same treatment."
Nomura Iwa's answer was clean and neat. Because based on the mutual understanding between the two people and the relationship between them, he did not need or have any need to hide anything.
"They will even give you some military merit, so that you can go back and be promoted to the next level. As for the working capital, they will not take all of it, but will leave 10% for you so that you can show off to your colleagues when you return.
As for the officers and soldiers you have now, if you don’t want them to go back, then they will never go back.”
"But there is one condition, that is, you must hand over to them Lieutenant Colonel Sakai and Ichiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters in Jiamusi who is hiding here with you. Mr. Sakai personally killed more than ten wounded people captured in Jiangbei a few days ago.
, people hate it so much that their teeth itch."
"They have said that there is room for negotiation on all other conditions, but there is absolutely no room for negotiation on this one. Sakai Lieutenant Colonel and the others are going to decide. As for the other things, as long as you surrender, they say everything is easy to negotiate."
After listening to the conditions put forward by Nomura Iwa, Kitano Takatsu frowned and said: "Nomura-kun, you and I are here now. It's better to say something clearly. The Sino-Japanese War has reached the current situation. It can be said that the Chinese people
The hatred for the empire is deep in my bones."
"Since the Manchuria Incident to the present, how many of them have the Empire killed in Manchuria over the years? How many Chinese people have the Empire killed in Nanjing during the Battle of Nanjing the year before last? How many of them have the Imperial Army killed in the past few years since it entered China? But that doesn't count.
I can’t figure it out. This hatred may not be resolved for hundreds of years.”
"Those guys in the Imperial Army are so poor that they don't dare to do anything when they enter China, burn, kill, and rob. Even though you and I didn't kill many people, we played in China a lot. You and I, the flower girls in Manchuria, know it all. I surrender.
After that, who can guarantee that they will not fall out? I think I am just a small lieutenant, and it will be easy for them to kill me if I fall into their hands?"
"You and I are both from business families. We both know how credible these verbal guarantees are. Especially in this life-and-death war, there are many people who fall out faster than turning the pages of a book.
I'm just a lieutenant colonel. I can't think of a place where they would think so highly of me? I don't want to go to those prisoners of war who fell into the hands of the Chinese army after the China Incident and were disemboweled, beheaded, and had their hearts cut out.
The old road.”
As for why the other party knew so much about him, Kitano Takatsu knew without asking. His colleagues didn't have many strong bones, and they didn't even have to think about sacrificing their lives to serve the country. The people of Osaka, who are full of copper odor, don't have such noble sentiments.
If the whip goes down, I'm afraid it will be clear even how many wives they have.
Regarding Kitano Takatsu's words, Nomura Iwa, who knew that his heart was moved and just wanted to confirm it, smiled and said: "Kitano-kun, you are wrong, they are interested in you because of your talent in business.
You also know that although the Kwantung Army has nothing to do with them now, it still has the ability to trap them to death."
"Although they have sufficient weapons and ammunition now, they are in serious shortage of other materials such as cotton, cloth, medicine and other materials. Even salt has to be imported from Jiangbei, but they don't want to rely too much on Jiangbei. You don't think that next time
A sparsely populated and bitter cold place like Jiang can support their army of tens of thousands."
"They need a new channel to transport their internal furs, precious medicinal materials, high-grade wood, coal, and even alluvial gold in exchange for Western medicine, kerosene and other strategic materials. And you, Mr. Kitano, are the perfect candidate for them.
.Your talent in business, coupled with my cooperation, is enough to help them open a path."
"They don't want to go to the Manchus because few Manchus are willing to take such a big risk to smuggle these strategic materials to them. Also because the Manchu businessmen are too greedy and ask for too high commissions. Some of the most critical strategic materials, such as radio stations, are
The batteries used are not available to those Manchurian merchants. And they also think it is unsafe to rely too heavily on those Manchurian merchants."
Having said this, Nomura Iwa looked at Kitano Takatsu who was dumbfounded after hearing what he said, and smiled unnaturally: "Kitano-kun, why did you and I make such a big fuss in Manchuria? Try our best to signal to the family.
What is your ability for? To put it bluntly, it’s for money.”
"They are in urgent need of some strategic materials, and we need money, so we each get what we need. Kitano-kun, there is a saying in China that people die for money and birds die for food. As long as we make enough money, even if we can't sit on the
What about the position of the head of the family? No one in this world thinks that money bites the hand."
"Could it be that the empire launched the war to invade China because of the so-called Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere? I'm afraid you are not that naive, right? These things are all to fool those stupid people. To put it bluntly, the empire launched this war not because of the so-called Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere?
Shall we follow the example of the Western powers, control China, and find a cheap raw material supply and product dumping ground for the empire? Who would be so stupid as to start a war if not for money?"
These words of Nomura Iwa made Kitano Takatsu silent for a long time and then said: "How can you guarantee that after we disarm, they will fulfill their promises and not fall out afterwards?"
In response to Kitano Takatsu's rhetorical question, Nomura Iwa put his legs on Sawada Shigeru's large desk in the office without any military aura. After staring at Kitano Takatsu for five minutes, he said neatly: "I can't, and I don't have to do anything."
Guaranteed. Because we no longer have any price to negotiate."
"They don't have to play tricks on us at all. If they want to kill you, they don't have to do much, including me. You see those large-caliber artillery outside. As long as they are willing to take out a hundred rounds of artillery shells, you and I still have
The officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division in these two buildings have been dealt with without any effort."
"But I imagine this is a mutually beneficial thing. I don't think they have any reason to fall out, right? Because they won't gain anything by killing us. Because they can't find someone like us who is willing to help them.
I’m Japanese. Well, it’s help, there’s nothing wrong with that.”
After Nomura Iwa said these words, there was another awkward silence. After a long while, Kitano Takatsu finally made up his mind and said: "You go back and tell them, just say that I agree to their conditions. But you must give me half
A few hours to deal with the interior."
"You know, although I have the highest military rank here, I am just a senior staff officer with no authority. There are some things that need to be discussed with the two squadron leaders. Besides, there are still some things that need to be sorted out internally.
If you ask them to make a way so that the people in the east building can withdraw, I can solve all the problems at once."
Seeing Kitano Takatsu finally nodded, Nomura Iwa breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "They only gave me an hour. Now that the time is up, I still have to go out and talk to them. As for your internal affairs,
, I think with Kitano-kun’s skills, it will be easy to solve it.”
"As for those guys in the east building, I will talk to them. But they only like you. They don't care much about others, living or dead. It doesn't matter if you fight for it, or if you don't win, they will take action for you.
Solved."
It seems that Nomura Iwa still has a certain credibility there. Less than ten minutes after he left, he separated the two buildings and made way for the other side. This allowed more than a squadron of Japanese troops trapped in the east building to go smoothly.
They withdrew into the west building where Kitano Takatsu was.
After all the troops gathered together, Kitano Takatsu immediately found all the officers in the remaining troops where they were. After these officers entered the house, his confidants set up a guard outside the door in the shortest possible time.
The only Type 92 heavy machine gun left by the Japanese army in Jiamusi was also set up outside the door, ready to fire at any time.
Now that he has made up his mind and simply does nothing, Kitano Takatsu's ruthless nature is revealed at this time. He has decided that if these officers do not follow him, then they will have no choice but to follow Ze who has ascended to heaven.
Lieutenant General Tian Mao is gone. In order to ensure your own safety, killing people and silencing them when necessary is a pretty good method.
