..."Koutaro Matsui, a member of the Yangquan Branch of Imperial North China Development Co., Ltd.!"
Licheng.
At the door of the Japanese Military Police, Kong Jie, who was already dressed as a Japanese businessman with a monk, showed the relevant certificates of his membership in the company to the two little devils guarding him with a calm expression.
Co., Ltd. is synonymous with Japanese companies, which is equivalent to China's XX Co., Ltd., or something like that.
"Yes, I came to your gendarmerie to find Captain Kawashima. Captain Kawashima is my friend. One of the reasons why I came to Licheng this time is to meet an old friend. Please let me know!"
Kong Jie spoke slowly, speaking quite fluent Japanese with a Tokyo accent.
This Tokyo accent is one of the two major classifications of Japanese, Kanto accent and Kansai accent.
It’s equivalent to Mandarin in Little Japan.
In 1868, after Japan implemented the Meiji Restoration, the original capital, the political center, was transferred from Kyoto to Tokyo.
This Tokyo accent has become the official Japanese accent.
As soon as he spoke in this tone, the kid he faced was not from Tokyo.
When facing compatriots from the imperial capital, most of the Japanese will look down upon you.
Just like in China, people from other provinces are almost the same when they see their compatriots in Peiping.
Captain Kong, who has system bonuses, naturally has not fallen behind in Japanese.
Moreover, Kong Jie's mastery of Japanese was so fast and the level of mastery was so high that even the Japanese prisoners who had successfully instigated rebellion and joined the Eighth Route Army Anti-War Alliance, indeed the little Japanese who came from Tokyo, gave him a thumbs up.
I have always praised Kong Jie's amazing language talent. There is no difference between the Japanese he speaks and the Japanese spoken by pure Tokyoites.
As soon as Kong Jie opened his mouth, the two little devils from the gendarmerie really didn't have any doubts.
The monks on the side couldn't help but sigh in their hearts:
"Our leader is really awesome, and his Japanese is so fluent. Plus, with this outfit, if I hadn't known about the situation, I would have thought that a little devil had appeared!"
I saw that Kong Jie spoke pure and fluent Japanese.
There are also identification certificates of company members.
The Japanese sentry of the gendarmerie guarding the door did not dare to hesitate, and quickly followed Kong Jie's instructions and returned to the gendarmerie to report.
The little devils in Licheng would probably not be able to think of it even if they broke their heads at this time.
Just yesterday, they were searching the city for the audacious group of robbers who robbed the Central Bank in broad daylight.
The bandit leader among them, the instigator, now changed his identity. He took the certificate from Japan Co., Ltd. and swaggered to the Japanese gendarmerie.
While waiting for the message.
Kong Jie raised his eyes and saw groups of Japanese soldiers from the gendarmerie. They were leaving the gendarmerie one after another, looking in a hurry.
"What happened? The gendarmerie look so busy?"
Kong Jie, who was pretending to be ignorant, asked the remaining Japanese sentry.
The Japanese sentry replied: "Sir, you don't know. A group of bold robbers robbed the Central Bank of Licheng two days ago. Our gendarmerie team received a death order to seize the cash stolen by the robbers within a week." All recovered, so..."
The monk on the side didn't change his expression, but he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart:
"His grandma's kid is so stupid. The leader of the robbers who robbed your bank is standing right in front of you, but you just can't recognize him!"
While he was talking, the sentry who went to communicate had already rushed back.
In addition, behind the sentinel, there is a shorter one, maybe only about 1.6 meters. In addition, he is a bit rounder, has a dark face, and has some bow legs. He is not too old, and he is neatly packed, with a little hair left. The little devil with a clean beard walked out quickly.
"I am Kawashima Shoichi. Who is Mr. Matsui who came to see me?"
Kong Jie smiled and took two steps forward, his face already showing enthusiasm: "Kawashima-kun, I finally see you."
With that said, Kong Jie took out another letter from his arms and handed it directly to Kawashima: "Kawashima-kun, this is the letter that Brother Zhiping specially entrusted me to bring for him this time!"
Kawashima nodded, took the letter, opened it immediately, and started reading, waiting until he finished browsing the letter.
His originally calm expression actually showed excitement and emotion.
“Since entering China, my cousin and I have never met each other, although we are not far apart.
But my cousin has always been thinking about me. Not long ago, he asked someone to send me a sum of money, saying that he wanted me to live a better life and take care of myself.
My cousin has always cared for me like a real brother. Matsui-kun, is my cousin okay? "
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Zhiping is very good, and not long ago, he was promoted from Shaozuo to the title of Zhongzuo because of his great contribution in governing Yangquan."
"Really? That's great! My cousin has always been the best junior in our family and has been our role model since childhood!" Kawashima Shoichi said with some joy.
He was drifting overseas, and Kawashima Jihei was from his family, and he was his cousin who had always been close to him.
Kawashima Jihei's official promotion was of course a great joy for him.
As for Kawashima Jihei mentioned by Kong Jie.
That is to say, in Yangquan, he collaborated with the Japanese squadron leader Mimoto Ichiro and the puppet company commander Qian Dekai, and then secretly cooperated with Kong Jie's team in various businesses, making a lot of money for the "Yangquan Iron Triangle" "The leader is Kawashima Shaozuo.
Of course, now, as Kong Jie said, Sichuan Island has been quite effective in maintaining public security and stability due to its management of the county town in Yangquan area.
Promoted to center left by superiors.
At present, he is basically responsible for matters both inside and outside Yangquan, including public security and defense, and dealing with enemies.
As for the name of the Yangquan Iron Triangle, it was established after discussions between three colluding guys, Kawashima Jihei, Miki Ichiro, and Qian Dekai.
Install the latest version. 】
As for why it is called this name, let me use the private conversation between these three guys:
You can go in the direction of the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei, the commanders of the Eighth Route Army who cannot be provoked.
"We can also indirectly express our sincerity to Captain Kong!" Japanese Captain Miki Ichiro said proudly.
Kawashima Jihei was convinced of this.
Thinking about it, before him, he noticed that Japanese military officers and Imperial Army officers, led by Ichiro Miki and Qian Dekai, seemed to have secret business dealings with the Eighth Route Army in the Yangquan area.
Therefore, the higher command department of the Japanese army later dispatched many investigators.
Among them were Japanese military officers such as Yuichi Takagi and Shinji Harada.
As a result, after Takagi Yuichi arrived in Yangquan and investigated for less than two weeks, he died tragically on the way due to a raid on the Eighth Route Army base area.
As for the other Japs leader, Zuo Harada Shinji, his house caught fire in the middle of the night. After the Japanese and puppet soldiers rushed over to put out the fire.
The old devil Harada Shinji had been completely burned to ashes by the fire.
His mother doesn’t even recognize him!
Then the third investigator, Kawashima Jihei Shaozuo, was sent.
When we arrived at Kawashima Jihei, he was much smoother than the previous two.
Kawashima was originally an officer in the security army. Unlike the two Japs in front of him, Shao Zuo, he had also served in a frontline combat unit.
After taking office, Kawashima Shaozuo, who is very understanding of the world, quickly became involved with Ichiro Miki and Qian Dekai, the subjects he was supposed to investigate during this trip.
The other three people also joined forces to stabilize their positions, and at the same time, they relied on Kong Jie's side and a fake communication list sent through Shi Dahu's war intelligence bureau.
Completely killed all the Japanese and puppet army officers of the Yangquan generation who were unwilling to cooperate with Kong Jie and were still tit-for-tat at every turn.
What a great move to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
The real power of the entire Yangquan basically fell into the hands of Kawashima Jihei, Ichiro Miki and Qian Dekai, the Yangquan Iron Triangle.
After this time, the shrewd Kawashima realized very clearly:
If you want to live a good life in the Yangquan area, in the iron triangle of northwestern Shanxi, it is true that "those who follow the Eighth Route Army will prosper, and those who go against the Eighth Route Army will perish!"
Therefore, Kawashima Jihei chose to cooperate with Kong Jie very well.
Just like that, the entire Yangquan and surrounding towns and villages quickly became one of the most stable and stable Japanese-occupied areas under the command of Kawashima Jihei.
Under the command of Kawashima Shao Zuo Yingming, not only was the security of the entire Yangquan area stable, Kawashima could also lead Japanese and puppet troops into the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla areas from time to time to carry out some sweeps or rural clearing campaigns!
And there were often quite heated confrontations.
Kawashima Shaozuo had many "accomplishments".
——When using raids or rural clearing campaigns, Kawashima Jihei will bring his confidants to get the supplies Kong Jie needs, including a large number of arms, including guns, ammunition, etc.
He couldn't get large-caliber artillery, and he didn't dare to get it, but he could still get enough guns and ammunition.
After pretending to engage in a firefight in mid-air, they would then obtain the corpses of some bandits or Japanese and puppet soldiers killed by the Eighth Route Army, put them in Eighth Route Army uniforms, and pull them back to report to their superiors. , how many enemy troops were captured.
Thereby repaying his efforts greatly!
As for the higher-ups of the Japanese army, they were initially somewhat skeptical about the stability of public security in the Yangquan area and about the military exploits Kawashima had made one after another after taking office.
However, under the subsequent partial attacks by the Eighth Route Army troops, the situation in the entire northwestern Shanxi area was constantly changing.
The little devil doesn't have the extra energy to carefully explore the Yangquan area, Kawashima Jihei, Miki Ichiro and others.
In addition, it was under the governance of Japanese military officers such as Kawashima and Miki Ichiro.
The public security in the Yangquan area is indeed quite good.
In addition, agriculture and commerce have also achieved considerable development, making a considerable contribution to the logistics supply of the Japanese military.
The higher-level Japanese military command simply turned a blind eye.
Even if it is speculated that Kawashima and other officers may have private business dealings with the Eighth Route Army.
But firstly, there is no evidence, and secondly, this kind of thing is not uncommon among the Japanese security forces.
Throughout the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese and Chinese armies, especially Chiang Kai-shek's troops, including the Shanxi-Sui Army, as well as local national army troops, fought hostilely on the front lines while not delaying private business dealings.
This almost constitutes the most bizarre scene in the entire history of the Sino-Japanese war.
This time Kong Jie took the monk to the 385th Brigade base area to visit, exchange and learn.
At the same time, follow the brigade commander's orders. Prepare to enter Licheng and explore the Japanese army's recent intention to build a temporary airport in Licheng.
Kong Jie was naturally well prepared.
Except for some Japanese chambers of commerce, that is, certificates of membership of companies.
Kong Jie learned the news that Kawashima Zhiping of Yangquan and Kawashima Masaichi of Licheng Military Police seemed to be from the same family or cousins.
The two have had a good relationship since childhood.
So before rushing to the 385th Brigade this time, Kong Jie got a letter from Kawashima Jihei.
A letter written by Kawashima Jihei himself to Kawashima Shoichi.
In his letter, Kawashima Jihei introduced his friend, Matsui Kotaro, a member of Nippon Co., Ltd., played by Kong Jie, to Kawashima Shoichi.
When Kawashima Jihei was asked to help with this matter, Kong Jie’s excuse was also very simple:
Kotaro Matsui is one of the business partners of the first team. This time he wants to use the convenience of Captain Kawashima of the Licheng Military Police to expand business in Licheng.
In addition, this also brought a lot of benefits to Kawashima Jihei.
Kawashima Jihei naturally had no reason to refuse. This old devil had learned to be shrewd a long time ago. As long as everything was done according to the instructions of Captain Kong.
As long as Captain Kong doesn't let him assassinate the emperor.
He will never refuse anything that can bring him benefits.
Kawashima Jihei even confessed in his letter that his friend Kotaro Matsui was absolutely reliable.
He also suggested that his cousin Kawashima Shoichi could try to cooperate vigorously with Mr. Matsui Kotaro.
This is the noble person who will bring you wealth!
And so there was this scene in front of me.
Kong Jie stood in front of Captain Kawashima of the Licheng Military Police with the certificate of membership of the company and the recommendation letter from the Japanese Army Lieutenant Kawashima Jihei in Nayangquan.
I heard that the man in front of me, Mr. Kotaro Matsui, speaks fluent Japanese.
I saw the certificates that people produced from the members of the company.
There are also letters from my cousin Kawashima Nakazuo.
How could Kawashima Shoichi still have hesitation and doubt.
My cousin has now moved into the center-left position, and this thigh must be embraced.
In addition, since the Matsui Kotaro in front of him is a member of the company, looking at this outfit, he is either rich or noble.
Recently, with the outbreak of the Pacific War, with the Japanese army fighting on two fronts, and with the continuation of the Sino-Japanese War, the huge army has consumed horrific supplies of materials and cannot make ends meet, making the logistics supply of the army even more difficult.
Even Japanese officers such as Captain Kawashima have not been paid for a long time.
Moreover, even if military pay is paid, it is only three melons and two dates. In addition, the purchasing power has dropped significantly due to daily ticket inflation.
The Japanese army, from soldiers to officers, had already been living a tight life.
Not long ago, his cousin Kawashima Jihei gave Captain Kawashima a sum of money.
Captain Kawashima realized at that time that his cousin must have made a fortune.
Right now, my cousin is recommending Kotaro Matsui, who came from Co., Ltd., to him.
Just like what the letter said, this is indeed a way to make a fortune given to me by my cousin!
When he thought of this, how could Captain Kawashima dare to slack off even a little bit towards the Kotaro Matsui in front of him?
"Matsui-kun, it's freezing outside, we'd better get into the military police first!"
Captain Kawashima, with a face full of joy and an attitude that was more respectful and affectionate than before, extended an invitation to Kong Jie.
Kong Jie hesitated for a moment: "Kawashima-kun, you military police team, it might not be appropriate for outsiders like us to enter rashly, right?"
Kawashima smiled and said: "Matsui-kun is joking, you are my closest friend, how can you be an outsider? Please!"
"Okay, then I'm welcome!"
Kong Jie smiled, followed Kawashima with the monk, and then swaggered into the Japanese military police in Licheng.
It wasn't until he entered the door that Kawashima looked at Monk Wei, who was following Kong Jie almost every step of the way, and then he remembered to ask: "Matsui-kun, who is this?"
Kong Jie replied: "Oh, this is the disciple I recruited. He is a warrior and his martial arts skills are quite impressive. We businessmen, you know, it is best to bring some bodyguards with us to ensure personal safety. "
"Japanese?"
"No, they are Chinese. You have to know that sometimes these Chinese may be more reliable than the Japanese!" Kong Jie said with a smile.
Under the influence of Kong Jie, the monk was no longer the aggressive and bratty monk he was before. He grinned quite cooperatively and said: "I am willing to serve the Taijun!"
"吆西!"
Kawashima nodded, feeling more and more that what Kong Jie just said made sense...
