Fujikura Seijiro has no concept of time.
He has become a walking corpse.
He repeats the same torture every day.
If he could die now, he swore he would do so without hesitation.
Normal humans simply cannot bear such an interrogation.
And just before Tian Qi was replaced again, Fujikura Seijiro finally made a decision:
confession!
Yes, a decision he had thought of many times before, but was categorically rejected by himself.
He knew that as long as he did this, they would definitely take advantage of him.
In fact, he will never have a chance to stand up.
But he decided to do it anyway.
He had never thought that interrogation without torture instruments could be so terrifying.
Completely mentally broken.
He gave up completely.
Therefore, before Tian Qi could speak, he took the initiative and said:
"When I was in Shanghai, I was involved in the Tanihara incident and was implicated. I felt very unwilling. I felt that I was not wrong and that I was innocent."
This is what he means.
But when Tian Qi heard these words, he knew that Fujikura Seijiro had given up.
Tian Qi smiled and said, "Don't be anxious. Speak slowly. I'm not interested in the things you did in Shanghai, but I feel that the relationship between us is finally developing in a good direction."
Fujikura Seijiro's face turned pale, because he knew what the other party wanted to hear most: "Are you asking about the battle of Ninga Inwan?"
Tian Qi still smiled and did not answer.
Fujikura Seijiro was silent, silent.
Tian Qi is very patient.
The other party just hasn't broken through that hurdle yet.
Finally, Fujikura Seijiro said: "We failed, failed miserably, I, I ran away..."
"Then what?" This was not enough. Tian Qi sighed: "Tell me everything I want to know, and then you can have a good rest."
These words seemed to have such great magic power. At this moment, Fujikura Seijiro couldn't care less: "I was captured, captured by the Americans!"
He never dreamed that he would say such things against his will.
However, being able to rest is too irresistible for Fujikura Seijiro at this moment.
"Then what?" Tian Qi said unhurriedly: "Why did you show up in Manila again?"
Now that he has taken the first step, Fujikura Seijiro doesn't care at all: "Are you asking about 'Ike'? Well, I am that "Ike". Are you satisfied now? Now I can sleep without anyone disturbing me? "
"Don't worry, why are you so anxious to get rid of Mr. Shibu Taniguchi?" Tian Qi did not intend to let him go so easily.
Fujikura Seijiro sighed deeply: "Because he is so powerful, his existence is unforgivable to me."
okay.
Tian Qi didn’t expect it to go so smoothly.
He took the confession, read it carefully, and asked Fujikura Seijiro to sign: "Okay, Chief of Staff, congratulations, you can sleep well."
…
Iwabuchi's eyes were fixed on the map on the wall for three times, and he refused to leave for a moment.
He had been looking at this map for almost an hour!
This is a piece of information he just got.
It's not about war.
Rather, it was intelligence about Allied transport lines.
Yes, a long overdue piece of information.
The Allied forces on the Pacific Front were maintained by the navy and a water supply line, a supply operation that was one of the organizational miracles of the war.
This is the largest sea and air offensive in history, involving 1,400 ships and nearly 250,000 soldiers to support them. They all rely on
Supplied by a water transport line composed of shipping couriers, a last-ditch effort was made to transport everything from a bomb, a pint of ice cream, a gallon of oil, and high-efficiency explosive bullets across the ocean from the United States.
Just feeding the soldiers on the shore and on the water is a huge logistical task. Twenty-five thousand tons of fresh and frozen food must be shipped from across the Pacific every month, and twice this amount of dry food must be shipped.
From flour to cookies.
As the Pacific War raged for more than three years, this large-scale supply effort continued unabated.
Feeding the line are West Coast terminals and warehouses that supply cargo ships and tankers sailing from Portland, San Francisco and San Diego.
By 1945, Hawaii had become a huge oil and household supply station. Lieutenant General John Henry Towers, deputy commander of the Pacific Command, planned the area as a logistics point to supply the southern and central Pacific.
Each base.
Ports such as Noumea, Espiritu Santo and Wellington were once stopovers for aircraft, providing food and sustaining offensives in the Solomon Islands and New Guinea.
They have now been replaced by large surface supply bases that engineers from the U.S. Naval Construction Group built in the sheltered lagoons of the atolls of Eniwetok, Kwajalein, and Ulithi. of.
Large-scale shuttle activities began with large storage fleets, which carried all food, from kettles and lunch boxes to fuel oil, anchored in the lagoons of the islands. Transport ships transported food directly from these large storage fleets to the front line.
From the moment he saw "kettles and lunch boxes" appearing on the U.S. military's transportation list, Iwabuchi knew three times that it was impossible for Japan to win the war!
Yes, this is a completely unequal war.
The Japanese army has cut off the supply of supplies.
Manila simply did not have enough supplies to sustain a war.
But what about Americans?
They are still delivering these things to the soldiers on the front line!
There are even chewing gum, lighters, and entertainment equipment.
Iwabuchi closed his eyes in despair three times.
No, this information must not be known to those soldiers.
Otherwise, they will lose their last bit of confidence and courage.
"Your Mightiness."
Mr. Koiso walked in: "Ikko Hahara wants to see you."
Iwabuchi's heart sank three times.
come yet?
Did you come after all?
The information he wanted but was afraid to get?
"Let him come in." Iwabuchi cheered up and said three times.
After a while, Tian Qi walked in.
Iwabuchi was the first to ask three times: "Is it over?"
Tian Qi nodded and said, "Yes, it's over."
"Did he be tortured?"
"No, Commander, according to your instructions, we treated the Chief of Staff properly."
Iwabuchi remained silent three times, and after a while he said, "Is that so?"
Every question he asked was endless.
But Tian Qi continued to answer: "Yes, this is the confession of the Chief of Staff."
Iwabuchi took it three times and looked at it carefully for a while, his hands trembling slightly.
After a long time, he stood up and said in a very low voice:
"I understand, Hahara, take me with you to see Narujiro!"
