"You should think carefully about who is behind these rebellions..."
Tan Takahashi walked among the crowd, not caring at all about the strange looks from others, and continued to talk:
"As far as I know, the Chengdongfang family is the largest Chinese family. Judging from the intelligence collected by the Special High School, they are inextricably linked to the rebels...
Especially the head of the Fang family is actually the mayor of Singapore and the chairman of Co-Prosperity. I just don’t understand. Why do you still allow the Fang family to exist under your noses? "
All the officers present were too embarrassed to say anything, and all looked at Juichi Terauchi.
Everyone knows that he has been supporting the Fang family from behind and has given Fang Zhongen many convenient jobs.
"You can't touch the Fang family now. The consequences of rash actions will only become more and more serious!" Terauchi Shouichi replied coldly, but the dodge in his eyes revealed his uneasy heart.
Of course, Terauchi knew that the old man of the Fang family was not clean behind his back. He was born in Osaka and was more inclined to maximize profits when considering issues. The reason why he kept the old man of the Fang family was that he wanted to use the other party's connections and influence to provide more labor and creative resources for his side. value.
On the other hand, most of the workers in factories and handicraft industrial parks in the Malay Peninsula are arranged by the old man of the Fang family. If he is really moved, I am afraid that it will cause extreme dissatisfaction among those workers, and then there will be a collective strike. Or jointly resist, the chaos caused is really unimaginable, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Tanko Takahashi doesn't care about this. As the saying goes, a new official has three things to do when he takes office. As a newcomer, he just needs a breakthrough to improve his status and let these useless army red deer see what thunder means.
"What are the consequences? All these rebels should be killed! The soft policy will not only fail to curb them, but will only encourage their arrogant behavior..."
Tan Takahashi, who was wide-eyed with anger, seemed to have remembered something, and said with a sullen face:
"Wait a minute, Mr. Terauchi, this person can make you so protective...Does it mean that Mr. Terauchi has some hidden deal with him?"
"Baga! Don't be slanderous!" Terauchi Shouichi retorted angrily with his face flushed.
It would be a big deal to take off such a high hat, especially at this juncture. If someone polishes it indiscriminately and sends it back to the base camp in China, the future of investigation and investigation will be ruined at best, and at worst... it may be directly filed in a military court.
"Putting aside the question of yes or no, I am here on behalf of the military to thoroughly investigate and eliminate the rebel organizations in South Asia. These clowns should not exist! Only by catching them all can we re-establish the order of the Japanese Empire's Southeast Asian colonies. .”
Tan Takahashi brought out his "Sword of Shangfang" again, and the principle was so clear and logical that the temple was full of reasons but was unable to refute it.
"Chief of Staff Iimura, you can give the order. I don't think the Commander has any other opinions?"
Faced with this aggressive "airborne commissioner," Chief of Staff Iimura could only look at Juichi Terauchi helplessly, not knowing what to do for a while.
The latter suppressed his anger and considered it in his heart. He is not on the side of the Fang family, but he just feels that it is too risky to get rid of the local leader of the Malay Peninsula now.
The front line is already in danger, and if there is another large-scale rebellion in the rear, can we, the Southern Army Headquarters, still do anything?
But then again, now that Takahashi Tan, a vanguard, is here to share the pressure, if anything happens, at least he won't be able to fight it alone. Since he wants to gain some credit through this, he should just go with the flow.
"Iimura-kun, do as General Takahashi wants. You will be personally responsible for this matter. All ministries must coordinate their actions."
"Hey!"
Takahashi Tan raised his eyelids and was a little surprised. He originally thought he would waste more words, but the other party's sudden relent was unexpected.
However, he was so proud and arrogant that he didn't think much about it. He just assumed that these army red deer were frightened by his shocking words.
…
The next day, Agui changed his outfit and led his men through the streets of Singapore. They were going to one of the contact points to discuss how to transfer several important people in the city.
"The free person is avoiding it!"
"みんな出て行け..."
Several sidecar motorcycles drove past the streets at lightning speed. The Japanese soldiers with guns mounted on the vehicles stared fiercely at the surrounding streets. If there was any slight movement around, the light machine guns in their hands would definitely sweep over them immediately.
A heavily armed Japanese squad followed behind them. They pushed their way through the crowd arrogantly, and those ordinary people who could not dodge suffered. They were violently overturned by the beasts and pushed to the ground. A direct beating.
The men looked around cautiously, then came up and asked quietly: "Brother, you see something is not right like this. Let's withdraw...?"
Agui hid in the corner and watched this scene coldly. The Japanese army not only imposed martial law on the streets and alleys, but soldiers from outside the city also entered the city in batches and began to inspect every household one by one.
If it was because of the destruction they caused at the arsenal and port yesterday, it would be reasonable for the Japanese army to react this way. However, the people who did it had already evacuated Singapore last night. Isn't it too late for the Japanese to think of closing the city now?
wrong! The Japanese army is heading towards the Fang family compound!
Thinking of this, Agui couldn't help but shudder, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose.
"Quick, go back to the master!"
The two of them rushed to the Fang Family Courtyard in a hurry. Japanese soldiers standing guard could be seen everywhere along the way, which forced them to slow down and hide their tracks to avoid being discovered by the Japanese.
But it was too late after all. Just halfway through, I saw that all the intersections in front were blocked by the Japanese army. They also prohibited anyone from approaching, and many civilians were driven away.
"Brother Gui, what...what should I do?" The subordinate was a little impatient, with panic written on his face.
"I'm going to Lao Wu's wine shop now. You leave the city immediately and contact all the brothers outside the city! Let me know immediately after everything is done."
"clear!"
Agui felt very uneasy. Such a large battle was by no means a trivial matter. He was already sure that the Japanese army would definitely want to attack the old man this time. Although there were currently insufficient manpower around him, he could not sit still and wait for death no matter what.
Thinking of this, Agui no longer hesitated, took a deep look in the direction of the Fang family, and then his figure disappeared in the corner.
On the other side, in the Fang family courtyard...
Countless Japanese soldiers surrounded the entire courtyard and attic. All the servants of the Fang family were tied up and detained in the corner. They were trembling under the Japanese bayonets and could only pray to God for protection.
Fang Zhongen sat quietly at the desk in the lobby, seemingly not paying attention to the Japanese soldiers around the lobby. He was seen holding the brush freely, and in a short time he wrote a powerful poem.
Creaking…
At this moment, the door was pushed open hard, and the Japanese soldiers at the door immediately stood at attention and saluted the visitor.
"Fang Sang's calligraphy...is very good."
Chief of Staff Iimura walked in with a swagger, took a quick glance, and was very surprised to find that the other party was writing calligraphy contentedly without any panic at all.
