The Military Police is an extremely special existence in Japan.
This is an organization modeled after the French Gendarmerie Corps.
The original Military Police was just a military police force affiliated with the Japanese Army. It was commanded not only by the Army, but also by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Justice.
In other words, in addition to being military police, the gendarmerie is also law enforcement police and judicial police.
This undoubtedly gives the gendarmerie great power and also creates hidden dangers for them to exert political influence in the future.
After the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1894, the Japanese Military Police had one more function. Intelligence collection, especially overseas intelligence collection and maintaining security in occupied areas, became important functions of the Japanese Military Police.
After the Russo-Japanese War, this part of the responsibility was further strengthened, especially the bloody rule and brutal suppression in Port Arthur, North Korea and other places, which made the Japanese military police begin to become brutal.
In 1910, a new unit "Special Higher Police" was established within the Gendarmerie, referred to as "Special Higher Police", which had greater power than the Gendarmerie itself.
In addition to collecting intelligence, the Military Police are also responsible for rooting out opponents of Japan. They can arrest any "suspected elements" at will without going through legal procedures, whether at home or abroad, spies, anti-government activists, liberals, and political sects. Dissidents are all their targets.
What is more interesting is that the Ministry of Internal Affairs already had an identical law enforcement agency before this, also called the "Super High Class". The two secret police departments have the same functions and enforce the law in parallel.
However, the Military Police's "Extra-High School" is more powerful, covers a wider area, and acts in a relatively more arrogant and high-profile manner.
What Meng Shaoyuan was eyeing was the position of Director of the Operations Division of the Special High School Division of the Manila Military Police Headquarters.
Many things may really be planned by fate.
Major Sergeant Sairenjima, the head of the Special Higher Education Course, has always had a deep conflict with former military police commander Naoto Matsushiro.
Previously, Naoto Matsushiro had firmly controlled the military police, leaving Serianji with no more opportunities to take advantage of.
Therefore, despite always being dissatisfied, Shinya Serienji always maintained his forbearance.
Yutaka Fujita, director of the Special High School Operations Division, had always been a close confidant of Naoto Matsushiro.
This makes Serian Temple even more helpless.
But the accident happened after all.
Naoto Matsushiro was involved in a major gold theft and died.
As a close confidant of Naoto Matsushiro, Yutaka Fujita suddenly felt the crisis.
After Takuma Shintani took charge of the Military Police, Yutaka Fujita became more active.
But it was this positivity that caused Yutaka Fujita, who was maintaining order in Manila, to be seriously injured when the US Air Force bombed Manila.
The position of Director of Operations suddenly became vacant.
In the military police special class, this is a position with relatively great power.
It is not up to Serian Temple alone to decide who to choose.
This person has a deep mind. He is obviously the department he is responsible for, but he just doesn't name the person.
Because the one who controls the military police now is Takuma Shintani, whom Commander Honma trusts most!
Just early in the morning, Xilianjizhen received a call, asking him to go to the Intelligence Section of the Tenth Army Headquarters immediately.
Lord Xingu wants to summon him.
Xilianji really didn't dare to neglect, and quickly rushed to the intelligence department.
"Please take a seat, Section Chief Xilian."
"What instructions do you have, Your Excellency?" Xilian Temple asked respectfully.
Takuma Shintani put down his work: "Section Chief Xilian, since I was temporarily in charge of the military police under the order of the Commander, although I have done my best, I have been responsible for military intelligence work at the same time. .
Xilian, you are a senior military police officer. We all know that you had some conflicts with Matsushiro Naoto before, but now the situation has changed. I hope you can help me take on more responsibilities. "
"Of course, Your Excellency!" Xi Lian Si's real heart began to beat "thumping".
Is this what Mr. Xingu means?
Takuma Shintani said slowly: "From the beginning, I will reduce my involvement in the military police affairs. You will be solely responsible for specific matters. Except for major matters that must be reported to me, you can make your own decisions on other matters! At the same time, You can also mobilize the supplies and armed forces of the gendarmerie at will!"
The ecstasy in Xilianjizhen's heart cannot be expressed in words at all.
How could he have imagined that he would hear such great news so early in the morning.
In other words, although the military police force is still managed by Takuma Shintani, he has become the actual person in charge.
"Your Excellency, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Xilian Temple replied loudly.
"I trust you, Silian."
Takuma Shintani then said: "As for the candidate for the director of the Operations Division, do you have any suitable recommendations?"
Xilian Temple was really moved.
Why does Mr. Shintani ask himself this?
He handed over the gendarmerie to himself and could not spare any of his own people.
This doesn't make sense.
Xi Lian Si Zhen said immediately: "Not yet, everything will follow the arrangements of seniors!"
"When you say that, I think of a person." Takuma Shintani said thoughtfully: "This person's name is Kogawa Koo, and he is the assistant of Haseguchi Shibu of the Manila secret service agency."
Ah, yes, yes, that person who is always inseparable from Taniguchi Shibu.
Serian Temple made an immediate impression.
Moreover, he also knew that Shibuya Taniguchi was a person that Mr. Shintani valued very much.
"You are in charge of the special high school course, and Shibuya Taniguchi is in charge of the secret service." Takuma Shintani said slowly: "Essentially, you are all colleagues and should work more closely together.
Kogawa Koo had served in the army in the past and participated in the Wuhan offensive in China. He was injured and returned to Japan to recuperate. After recovering from his injury, he was ordered to protect Shibu Taniguchi and came to the Philippines.
He has shed blood for the Empire and is a trustworthy person. I have talked with Taniguchi and he is willing to bear the pain and give up his love for the Empire. Of course, all the information on Onikawa Koo is in Japan, and I will find a way to transfer it. "
"There is no need." Xilian Temple said immediately: "The situation is so tense now, so we can put it aside for now, and then we can make up for the procedures when the situation eases.
Your Excellency, since he is the person you recommended and is the trusted assistant of His Excellency Taniguchi, I think he is fully qualified to hold any position in the Military Police. "
"very good!"
Takuma Shintani picked up the phone: "Let him come in."
After a while, "Guchuan Boy" Li Zhifeng walked in.
"Captain Onikawa Xiaofu!"
Takuma Shintani looked serious: "From now on, you will temporarily serve as the Director of the Operations Division of the Special High School Division of the Manila Military Police Headquarters of the Empire of Japan, and you will be under the command of Major Serenji Ma!"
"Hai!"
Li Zhifeng replied loudly.
Now, he finally knew why his boss had to force him to learn Japanese.
Not only must you be able to speak, but you must also be extremely fluent, and you must also have a Japanese regional accent.
The only thing that dissatisfied him was the name. It sounded so unpleasant!
Some people died, but not completely...
