"This is the final decision of His Majesty the General, and we have no right to object!"
Nishino Yoshiki looked solemn: "I will immediately order everyone to dispatch!"
Koichi Hahara knew that at this point, he was unable to recover.
He knew Meng Shaoyuan's conspiracy very well.
But so what?
Meng Shaoyuan knew better what his immediate boss was most afraid of!
The influence in politics and public opinion is beyond their reach.
General Itaro Toijima did not understand the real situation in Suzhou.
No, maybe he understands.
Perhaps he even guessed that the enemy might attack Suzhou at this time.
But he didn't have time to think about that now.
He must suppress the riots in Wuxi, Changzhou and Changshu immediately.
As for what will happen during the crackdown?
Itaro Toijima didn't care.
This is the so-called treatment of headaches and head and foot pains.
As long as he can eliminate the Fourth Route Army Jiang Kang, then he will have merit and demerit.
His attention is only on Jiang Kang!
"Nishino-kun."
Hahara Koichi solemnly said: "I know that there is no way to disobey His Majesty the General's order. But I ask you to leave the necessary garrison troops in Suzhou."
"Yes, it will definitely happen." Nishino Yoshiki felt that this question was simply in vain.
Hahara Koichi's request did not end: "My idea is to close all the city gates until the riot is successfully suppressed, leaving only a small number of troops in the direction of the city gate for defense.
The main force left behind will be concentrated here at the Military Police Headquarters. The people I brought from Shanghai, along with all the staff of the secret service stationed in Suzhou, will be stationed here.
The detective team composed of those Chinese people will form a defense line outside the headquarters. No one is allowed to come near without orders. "
At this point, he took a breath and continued: "Also, arm the Japanese and form two lines of defense with the headquarters as the center. In this way, even if any problems arise, we will have the capital to deal with them."
Nishino Yoshiki frowned: "The riots in Wuxi, Changzhou, and Suzhou need to be suppressed at the same time, so I can only leave you a small team and a company of the Peaceful National Salvation Army!"
A squad! Plus a company of puppet troops.
It is simply impossible to defend the huge Suzhou with more than fifty Japanese and puppet troops.
However, for Koichi Hahara, this is not a problem.
A small group of Japanese troops will be the main force, equipped with thirty agents brought by themselves, as well as Japanese agents from Suzhou, who will be responsible for protecting the military police headquarters.
Moreover, the Japanese armed forces can organize at least more than a thousand people.
enough!
His goal is not to defeat the possible rebellion, but to persist until reinforcements arrive!
"That's enough, Nishino-kun."
Hahara Koichi said solemnly: "I promise to protect the Military Police Headquarters."
"Then please."
…
"The Japanese troops are moving."
Li Youjun walked in and told the good news as soon as he entered: "Nishino Yoshiki has ordered that we people go to the military police headquarters immediately to receive protection. All the troops who have reinforced to Suzhou, together with the troops left behind in Suzhou, have begun to prepare to leave. "
"good."
Wu Jingyi was the first to speak out: "The Japanese were mobilized after all."
"not good!"
Meng Shaoyuan said this: "Mr. Li, do you think you will go to the Military Police Headquarters for protection?"
Seeing Li Youjun nodded, Meng Shaoyuan immediately said:
"So this means that the Japanese have begun to prepare for the possible uprising in Suzhou, and they have made preparations!"
Li Youjun still admired this military agent, and he inferred it from just one sentence: "Yes, Nishino Yoshiki has ordered the Suzhou agents to gather at the headquarters and distribute weapons to them all. Moreover, the Japanese in Suzhou have also They began to arm themselves and built two lines of defense outside the military police headquarters."
"It's not Nishino Yoshiki, it's Hahara Koichi." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "Damn it, Hahara has been fighting with me for so long, and this progress is really big. When he comes like this, I really can't do it. mouth."
Li Youjun frowned and said, "I'm at the Military Police Headquarters and can serve as an internal response."
"There is no need, Mr. Li." Meng Shaoyuan shook his head and said, "You are a nail planted in the enemy's heart. At the most critical moment, you can give the enemy a hard blow! A small Suzhou military policeman Headquarters, there is no need to use you yet.
Besides, I don’t really want to seize the whole of Suzhou. How many Japanese troops do I really want to kill? As long as we can fly our flag in Suzhou, the shock to the Japanese and traitors will be huge, and it will also be a huge shock to the Qingxiang Movement. A heavy blow! "
Li Youjun thought for a while, and a smile appeared on his face: "Director Meng, have you considered all the plans since you entered Suzhou?"
"It's really not the case, Mr. Li." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "I'm really not a particularly well-planned person. Originally, I wanted to sabotage the Qingxiang Movement, but then I changed my mind and all my plans were I came up with it on the spur of the moment. And I modified it as I was doing it.”
Li Youjun didn't particularly believe it either.
How could such a huge plan be thought up on the spur of the moment?
But he would not have thought that Meng Shaoyuan was really such a person. He often only had a rough outline of a plan in his mind, and then revised it bit by bit when implementing it.
Li Youjun did not continue to ask, "Well, Director Meng, you and Secretary Wu will continue to live here. It is relatively safe here."
"Now, except for the Military Police Headquarters, everything is safe."
Meng Shaoyuan didn't seem to care at all: "Although Koichi Hahara has made a lot of progress, his vision is still limited. He is like a turtle now, shrinking his entire body into a turtle shell. The Military Police Headquarters is his turtle shell.
He thinks that being in a turtle shell is the safest, but he would not have thought that the world outside the turtle shell can allow us to do whatever we want! "
Li Youjun suddenly asked: "If you encountered this situation, how would you deal with it?"
"Abandon Suzhou!"
"What? Give up Suzhou?" Li Youjun and Wu Jingyi were both stunned.
"It's not giving up in the true sense." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Since my troops are not enough to defend the entire Suzhou, and since the uprising in Suzhou will break out sooner or later, why should I still struggle with you?
I will organize all the Japanese overseas and resist step by step, making us pay a heavy price for every step forward.
There is a Japanese Chamber of Commerce in Wuxi, but there is no Chamber of Commerce in Suzhou? Once Japanese overseas Chinese in Suzhou are attacked, Japanese senior officials will also face great pressure. What if we suddenly send troops again at this time? "
"Then the uprising troops will be besieged in Suzhou!" At this point, Li Youjun already understood what Meng Shaoyuan meant!
