"Division Commander, many expats seem to be complaining. They blocked the city hall and asked why they paid more than before after tax reductions and exemptions."
"Some people also blocked the recruitment office and asked why their families hadn't come back."
Sato reports on the current situation in the enchanted city.
"A mob, a mob!"
Wei Wu slammed the table.
"These expatriates from the empire only want to use the power of the empire, but they never want to contribute to the empire."
“I just raised a little bit more tax and they’re blocking the door of City Hall?”
“It’s just a little bit of tax, and it’s like this.”
"If they were doing something else, I can't even imagine what they could do!"
"These hateful guys are no longer ordinary civilians, they are thugs, and they must be attacked hard."
Wei Wu stood up.
He was waiting for now.
It would be hard for him to take action unless those expats started making trouble.
If a quarrel breaks out, he will have an excuse.
"Gendarme, set out immediately and arrest all the thugs!"
Wei Wu said.
"The division commander and the gendarmerie have been transferred to the front line. We are the only divisions still in the city."
Sato reminded cautiously.
"Then you put on the armband of the military police, dress up as military police, and arrest all these mobs."
Wei Wu said.
"Remember, there must be some inciters among this group of people, don't be soft-hearted. If anyone resists, he will be a sinner of the empire and will be shot on the spot!"
"yes!"
Sato set off with great enthusiasm.
Several trucks filled with soldiers dressed as gendarmes rushed to the city hall.
At this time, many expats were already blocking the city hall to protest against excessive taxes.
Sato glanced at it and felt that many people here were dressed in gorgeous clothes. At first glance, they were not ordinary merchants and hawkers.
Sato didn't have a good impression of these people.
When he was in his hometown in Osaka, he was an ordinary vendor at the fish market.
I am often bullied by some big stores.
In the past, it was inability.
Now that you have the ability, why don't you come back with revenge?
"They are indeed a mob, arrest them!"
As Sato spoke, he pulled out a wooden stick and hit a stick, knocking a middle-aged businessman in gorgeous clothes to the ground.
"Baga, do you dare to hit me?"
The middle-aged businessman yelled and cursed loudly.
"Commander Shinozuka ordered that all foreign nationals must participate in a month of military training. Why didn't you participate? I suspect that you maliciously resisted the wartime decree and must be sympathetic to the anti-Manchu anti-Japanese elements. Come and arrest the criminals of this empire. .”
Sato said and kicked the middle-aged businessman to the ground.
"I participated in the training, why do you slander me?"
The middle-aged businessman defended loudly.
Sato sneered from the sidelines.
All those who participated in the training were sent to the front line to fill the trenches.
How could he know that he was a participant in the plan?
Those who can still stay in the rear are either because they have connections or because they have stuffed their money.
If they were honest, Sato would have passed by turning a blind eye.
If you dare to bump into Sato, then don't blame him for being rude.
"Everyone here will be arrested and brought to justice by the gendarmerie. Anyone who dares to disobey will be shot on the spot."
Sato took out his gun and fired two shots into the sky.
This hand directly suppressed these people.
Most of these people who dare to make trouble have some background.
It has more or less some relationship with the local garrison.
With the help of the garrison, a lot of benefits were gained.
The long-term use of the prestige of the garrison has also allowed them to develop an arrogant character.
This is not just true for people in the occupied territories.
This is true even for one's own countrymen.
This is one of the reasons why they dare to come and cause trouble.
If they were in China, they wouldn't even dare to give them a hundred courages.
However, at this time, the garrison troops they usually relied on were either growing potatoes in labor camps, or were packed onto ships, preparing to go to Southeast Asia to feed mosquitoes.
Having lost their backers, they were like meat on the chopping board to Sato.
Cook whatever you want.
Sato waved his hand.
The people behind him rushed forward and arrested everyone.
They were put into the car one by one and sent to the gendarmerie cell.
These people were already familiar with the steps after entering the cell.
Immediately began to torture one by one.
First find out the identity and background, and then interrogate the family finances.
Then write a confession and sign it directly.
My family property was confiscated, and I was sent directly to the labor reform corps, where I was locked up with those traitors.
Those reform-through-labor groups have recently been helping Xinheng Construction Company build roads.
Long-term hard work has kept the loss rate of the labor reform corps at a high level.
So far, the total losses have exceeded 50%.
We are short of manpower now.
These people came at the right time.
Sato sold these people to the labor camp for 100 yen each.
Although everyone belongs to the same company, accounts will be transferred between businesses normally.
This is the rule set by Wei Wu.
Cash flows only when it works.
Otherwise it's just a pile of paper.
Seeing the money, these soldiers became more energetic and tortured them harder.
They didn't care at all whether the people being tied up were their compatriots.
After arresting these people, the whole city instantly became much quieter.
Wei Wu was very satisfied with his methods.
Leave these shops to your own company for unified management.
These shops will become the tentacles of his business empire, spreading to every corner of the entire southeastern war zone.
Be his eyes, monitoring every corner of the entire southeastern war zone.
After dealing with these expatriates, Wei Wu immediately began the expansion of the third batch of security divisions.
We have already discussed this with the base area before.
The number of rotating security guards currently in training has been directly expanded to 20.
The total number of people reached 100,000.
They will be recruited first from the base area and receive the first step of basic training and ideological education.
Then they were sent to Wei Wu for tactical training and individual soldier quality training.
Finally, rotate back and perform synthetic training.
Finally become a qualified soldier.
Although this kind of training scale takes a long time.
But the trained soldiers are all elite soldiers who can fight one against ten, and their training level is higher than that of the Japanese Army's Class A Division.
If there had been such an army when fighting the Japanese, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose.
In addition to these rotating security guards.
The number of non-rotating security guards has also been expanded to 10.
These non-rotating security guards do not rotate and have been undergoing high-intensity training.
Prepare to be used as a fist unit.
In addition, Wei Wu also simply trained a large number of third-line divisions.
These people are trained according to the standards of the second-line troops, and the main source is the original county brigade and district squad.
Their duty is also very simple, that is, pretend to be Japanese soldiers and take over the county.
Now, in the entire Southeast War Zone, apart from the front line and the Demon City, there are only a few key nodes in the middle and a small number of Japanese troops.
The rest of the vast county towns are all empty, with only maintenance committees composed of local tyrants and evil gentry.
The task of these second-line security divisions is to take over these counties in the name of the Japanese, then completely eliminate these maintenance associations, quietly carry out land reform, complete the transformation, and turn this place into a base area.
Once the plan is completed, except for the front line and the magic capital, the entire southeastern theater will become a vast base area.
