The general is indeed wise.
It's a pity that the Japanese and puppet army officers below are not wise enough.
In the restaurant, Qian Dekai, Miki Ichiro, and Kawashima were interpreting the report in the newspaper. Their big eyes were staring at each other, and the wine in their mouths seemed to have lost its taste.
"How can this be a friend or a threat? This is clearly a threat from 'Chi Luoluo'!"
"Think about it, the list of so-called friends listed by the Eighth Route Army in the newspaper this time is almost the same as the list of imperial officers and Imperial Association Army officers who were shot by the headquarters last time."
"The Eighth Route Army can send these so-called friends to the guillotine today."
"Tomorrow, maybe we, their real business friends, can be sent to the guillotine as well."
Major Kawashima spoke worriedly, it felt uncomfortable to feel like his life was in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.
Miki Ichiro sighed bitterly: "Kawashima-kun, haven't you seen it yet?"
"The Eighth Route Army set up a chain of tricks one after another, roping us into their rope step by step."
"First of all, in the initial business cooperation, we at least still have a certain amount of initiative. Whether we cooperate or not depends on us. Now our control is completely in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. In the future, if we want to continue to make a fortune and survive, we can only I honestly chose to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army."
"Otherwise, the next batch of lists sent to the Imperial Command may contain the names of the three of us."
"At that time, can we, the officers who have indeed had business dealings with the Eighth Route Army, explain it clearly?"
Miki Ichiro's words hit the point.
Qian Dekai, the puppet company commander, was the calmest among the three.
Being able to deal with the Japanese Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the National Army for so many years, and also successfully getting the position of company commander of the puppet army, this money means that he can handle things very smoothly.
Qian Dekai believed that he was of great use value to Commander Kong of the Independent Regiment. As long as this could be guaranteed, his safety would not be a problem.
Thinking of this, Qian Dekai raised his glass and persuaded:
"Kawashima-kun, Miki-kun, there is an old saying in China that wealth can be found in danger."
"If you want to make a fortune, you naturally need to take some risks."
"Besides, this is not necessarily a bad thing. The Eighth Route Army issued this list just to beat us secretly. As long as we cooperate honestly in the future, the Eighth Route Army will also need our help and will never harm us."
"Besides, with this level of interest involved, whether it is a raid on the Eighth Route Army troops or the county town is attacked by the Eighth Route Army, I think Commander Kong will be lenient to the three of us. Isn't this enough?"
They are truly a colluding and colluding trio.
After Qian Dekai's enlightenment, Kawashima and Miki Ichiro suddenly became enlightened. They nodded hurriedly and raised their wine glasses to clink one.
"Qian, you Chinese have a saying that I think is very vivid. From today on, the three of us are grasshoppers tied to a rope!"
Kawashima took the lead, and after the three clinked glasses again, Kawashima said with a smile.
"Captain Kong still needs you to show up more and say more nice things."
"Please rest assured, Commander Kong. We will be sincere in our future business cooperation. Commander Kong, please believe in our sincerity!"
"Yes, Mr. Kawashima, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter." Qian Dekai responded, "In addition, other business partners we develop must also convey the news in time, and we must not offend them again. Commander Kong, if not today’s list may be everyone’s fate tomorrow.”
"Yes, yes, don't forget this." Kawashima agreed.
And just when Qian Dekai and the other three thought that the newspapers secretly published by the Eighth Route Army and published reports like "Our Eighth Route Army's Forever Friends" were about to come to an end.
For the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the work of the propaganda unit under the Strategic Camouflage Bureau led by Shi Dahu officially kicked off.
In Kong Jie’s words: “The fun has just begun.”
Independent regiment headquarters.
Shi Dahulai reported the work situation to Kong Jie.
"Captain, all preparations for the propaganda team are in place, and we are just waiting for the next step of work."
"I have everything arranged and I'm just waiting for the feedback."
"Um!"
Kong Jie nodded and said, "Have the rest of the short-term work and plans of the Camouflage Bureau been clearly explained?"
"Captain, please rest assured that I have completed the short-term delivery of the work and all aspects have been prepared." Shi Dahu responded.
"Okay, then according to the plan, take the relevant comrades who are going to Jizhong this time and get ready to go! I will ask Zhao Yong to send guards to escort you all the way."
"remember……"
Kong Jie looked at Shi Dahu and showed a meaningful smile: "You can do whatever you want during this trip, but there is one thing you must remember. The principle is..."
"Do not violate the discipline of the Eighth Route Army and maintain the image of our team. In addition...it is okay to take advantage of people, but you must do it smartly. If you sell people, they will have to count the money for you."
Shi Dahu spoke with a smile on his face and repeated what Kong Jie once said to him word for word.
Cough cough cough——
"That's what you said, I didn't say anything."
"When you get to Jizhong, you should stop using me as a shield."
"Who in the entire Eighth Route Army doesn't know that I, Kong Jie, am a real person!"
Shi Dahu: "..."
After Kong Jie gave some more explanations, Shi Dahu left the regiment headquarters and officially led the team to set off for Jizhong.
When leaving the courtyard of the regiment headquarters, Shi Dahu happened to meet Li Wenjie and Xu Guoan who had rushed to the headquarters.
"Political Commissar! Chief of Staff!" Shi Dahu saluted, then turned and left.
Li Wenjie and Xu Guoan looked at each other and thought, what kind of bad things are Shi Dahu and Lao Kong thinking about when they meet?
"Lao Kong, what are you secretly discussing with Normal University?"
Chief of Staff Xu Guoan asked with a smile as he entered the room.
"Business, business!" Commander Kong said, without changing his expression, he picked up the teapot in his hand and drank.
Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie looked disbelieving.
If I really believe you, Lao Kong, I will have a hard time this year...
Yangquan.
Time to ferment quickly. In less than three days, in some streets and alleys in Yangquan, many notices suddenly appeared on walls, mud houses, and streets.
"...From now on, the Empire of Japan will accept all victims who have fled due to the disaster, whether they are local or from other places, and will properly resettle them within their jurisdiction..."
"... Open warehouses to provide food relief every day to ensure that each disaster victim has at least two meals a day..."
"The Empire of Japan is friendly to its people and treats all of you sincerely. Even if we Japanese are hungry, we will definitely guarantee relief to the victims... Please spread the word on your behalf and let the victims in the vast area know that we can help you at any time. Come make your home and get help!
...Announcement from Yangquan Command of the Empire of Japan"
In front of many notices, there were gentlemen who knew how to read and read the contents of the notices loudly. They were surrounded by a large number of people who came over out of curiosity.
After reading what the gentleman said, the common people sneered, and some even spat on the ground in disgust.
"How can a little devil have such good intentions? Impossible, unless the sun rises in the west."
"Bah, if a weasel gives a chicken a hundred years, this devil is probably having some evil intentions!"
"He's an idiot. I wouldn't believe his little devil's lies."
The people complained and cursed one after another. They had never heard of such an abnormal thing.
When the Japs first occupied the county, they deliberately did superficial things, saying they were close to the people and treated them well.
But the road is far away to know the horse power, and the time is to see the people's heart.
It has been so many years since Yangquan fell, and the people have long seen clearly the little devil's ambitions, duplicity, cruelty, insidiousness, and cunning...
Now that this notice is posted, no one believes it.
"I heard that the little devil and the second devil are barely able to eat these days. Can he still take care of the victims?"
Amidst the questions, the gentleman who read for everyone said:
"Folks, I agree with what you are saying, but today's notice seems a little different. Take a closer look, the right side is written in our Chinese characters, and the left side is written in Japanese for the Japanese."
"Tell me, since the disaster is serious now, why does this little devil spend so much time and put up these crappy notices to fool us?"
"But can what the Japanese say be true?" some people asked.
The husband replied: "Who knows, everyone should be more careful and wait and see!"
