John looked nervous, fearing that Fang Lang would do something beyond control. Today's Japan has long been regarded by MacArthur as his own territory, and no one is allowed to cause trouble here at all. Although Fang Lang has a close relationship with the US military, in the final analysis he is still a Brazilian naval general.
As the Emperor of Japan, MacArthur might really take action if he knew that a Brazilian naval officer was making small moves in Japan.
As for the powerful forces behind Fang Lang, MacArthur didn't care. In the past few years in Japan, due to the praise of the Japanese, MacArthur, who was already arrogant, had long become arrogant and indifferent to the US government, let alone a Brazilian major general.
When Fang Lang saw John's look, he understood what he was worried about, smiled and nodded:
"Don't worry! I am measured. If you are worried, all my actions will be carried out under your eyes. If you think there is anything wrong, you can stop it at any time. That's okay!"
In Fang Lang's view, since he has his eye on the land of Jingguo Divine Toilet, he will know immediately no matter what the Japanese want to use it for in the future.
If the Japanese really go their own way as he expected and want to continue to rebuild the Jingguo Sacred Toilet, Fang Lang won't mind burning this place again. Moreover, if it is burned again, it will not only burn this place, but also not far away. That royal building complex will not be as lucky as last time.
Seeing Fang Lang's serious look, John continued to ask with some uncertainty:
"Are you serious?"
"certainly!"
"Okay, I'll watch you!"
As the two of them talked, the convoy slowly left the vicinity of the Jingguo Sacred Toilet Site. After seeing the Imperial Palace and the Sacred Toilet, the convoy came to the vicinity of Ginza in Tokyo. Along the way, Fang Lang carefully observed the current situation in Japan.
After a period of careful observation, Fang Lang found that although most Japanese people have solved their basic food and clothing problems, there are still many idle people on the streets. Obviously, Japan's employment rate is still not high.
Moreover, a large part of these idle personnel seemed to have begun to form a large scale, which reminded him again of the Japanese Black Dragon Society. Although this organization was a Japanese Yakuza organization, that is, a gang.
But he worked part-time as an intelligence organization and committed numerous crimes in his hometown. After the war, this organization was also annihilated and banned by the Allied forces, but now these people on the streets clearly have some characteristics of the Yakuza Society.
This reminded Fang Lang of the famous gang organizations in Japan in later generations. Now that his family has decided to invest in Japan and control the Japanese economy, it must also infiltrate and control these gang organizations!
"John, are those guys gang members?"
Of course, people in gang capitalist countries are familiar with it. There are various gangs in the United States itself, the most famous of which is of course the Italian Mafia.
There are various gangs, large and small, in Brazil, and even the Hongyi Society controlled by Fang Lang himself is actually one of the gangs. Therefore, everyone is not surprised that gangs exist in Japan.
After hearing Fang Lang's question, John just turned his head and glanced at it, then said uncertainly:
"Probably! I don't know these guys, but there are gangs in Japan. Many of their members are Japanese soldiers who had nothing to do after they retreated to Japan. Because of their military experience, they were cruel and ruthless, which once made Japanese society very chaotic. .”
Fang Lang gave John a strange look. He originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect that the other person seemed to know something about these guys.
"It sounds like you are very familiar with these guys?"
When John heard this, he smiled casually and said:
"I'm in charge of U.S. Navy logistics. I often need to come into contact with Japanese locals. Naturally, I inevitably come into contact with these gang members, so I know them more or less."
For Fang Lang, this was obviously a very unexpected news, but when he thought about it carefully, it felt very normal. Think about the industries that gangs usually engage in, and look at the comfort stations outside the US military bases. Fang Lang estimated that these comfort stations may be more or less controlled by some gangs.
After all, if the Japanese government still wants to lose face, it will definitely not be easy for them to directly manage these places. And using gangs to manage is obviously a very good method.
"Oh! So you know them very well. I wonder if you can tell me about it."
"Don't worry! You have American capital standing behind you. These guys don't dare to stretch their hands on your industry, so you don't have to worry at all.
To us, these people are just temporary tools, so we don’t need to pay too much attention to them. "
John looked casual. It seemed that he had a lot of contact with these gangs. It could even be said that the entire US military had a lot of contact with these gangs. Maybe the US military also used these gangs to achieve some of its own goals, otherwise it would not be said. These people just use tools temporarily.
"Oh! I don't know if you have any familiar gangsters. Soon our family's business in Japan will start to take action. Sometimes we may need to use these guys to do things that are not suitable for us."
After John heard Fang Lang's words, he didn't think much about it. Perhaps in his opinion, this was an insignificant matter.
"Of course, I have contacts with several bigger gangs in Tokyo. If you need to do something, just tell me directly and I will tell them to do it.
If you want to know them, I can also introduce you to them. However, I think instead of making friends with these gang members, it is better for me to introduce a guy who has a huge influence on these gangs. "
When Fang Lang heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Oh! There are also guys who have huge influence on these gangs? Can you tell me more specifically?"
Glancing at Fang Lang, John shook his head helplessly. He thought Fang Lang was just curious about these gangsters in Japan. At the same time, in his opinion, there was nothing to hide about these issues, so he just thought about it briefly. Then he said directly:
"If you really need these guys, I can introduce someone to you."
John's words made Fang Lang even more curious. He knew the situation in Japan. This country is the only country in the world that allows underworld to exist legally. Therefore, the influence of underworld is completely different from that of underworld organizations in other countries that can only operate quietly. .
They can organize openly and openly during the day. Although John said he wanted to introduce him to a person who could have a huge influence on the Japanese underworld, he did not tell him the specific situation of the other person. This made Fang Lang feel as uncomfortable as a cat's claw and a dog scratching him, and he couldn't help but Asked directly:
"Don't worry about the introduction. You still want to tell me, who is this guy? Is he a mafia godfather?"
"This guy is not a simple gangster. To be precise, he is a politician. His name is Yushio Kodama. He was once a Japanese naval officer and a Class-A war criminal tried by the Far East Military Tribunal. "
As soon as he said this, Fang Lang's expression changed instantly. He had never heard of this name, but the person who was tried as a Class A war criminal by the Far East Military Tribunal must be a brutal executioner. But such an executioner is obviously able to control the Japanese gangster, which shows that the other party is no longer serving his sentence in prison.
How could this not make Fang Lang's face change drastically? What was the US government trying to do? A guy who was judged by a military court as a Class A war criminal came out again in an open manner four years after the war ended.
John didn't notice Fang Lang's expression and still introduced him unhurriedly.
"In 1948, he was released early for agreeing to cooperate with the CIA and is now operating in Tokyo. Because he served as the director of the Japanese secret service during the war, he had great influence on the local underworld organizations in Japan.
This man's work ability is very strong. In just one year, most of the Japanese gangs have been taken over by him. It can be said that he is the leader of the Japanese gangs.
If you need to deal with the Japanese underworld for anything, you can just go to him directly. "
As John's introduction became more and more detailed, Fang Lang's face became more and more ugly. He had long heard about the great power of the American CIA, and he also knew clearly that they were lawless and unscrupulous in their work.
However, he did not expect that in order to achieve their goals, they would directly release a Japanese Class-A war criminal and the director of the Japanese secret service who was burdened with numerous blood debts, and let him come out to corral Japan's underworld organizations.
This kind of behavior simply wiped out all the anti-fascist alliance and years of hard work. Fang Lang really couldn't accept it in his heart.
But Japan is not a place where he can make decisions yet. He decided to try his best to understand the situation first, and then let his investigation department begin to enter the Japanese intelligence field to find a way to further investigate the situation in Japan. If necessary, he would do it himself Spend money to send these unpunished war criminals to hell.
Fang Lang looked at the passing street scene outside the window, not daring to make eye contact with John to avoid letting the other party notice the murderous intent in his eyes. Holding back the anger that was about to burst out in his heart, he slowly suppressed the ugly expression on his face, and slowly said:
"Oh! It turned out to be the director of an intelligence agency. That person should be the person the CIA plans to use to develop an intelligence network in Japan! Isn't it inappropriate for us to go to the other party for help?"
John didn't notice anything unusual in Fang Lang's tone. Perhaps in his heart, these Japanese people were not important and not worthy of his attention.
"Developing a shitty intelligence network. I heard that this guy named Kodama Yushio established the "Kodama Organization". It turned out that in addition to collecting war intelligence for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, it was also commissioned by the Japanese Navy to search for war supplies. Provided to the Japanese Navy.
They went to great lengths to collect valuables such as gold, jewelry, and jade from the occupied territories. Later, this agency almost became the treasury of Japanese intelligence agencies.
When Japan surrendered, he was in charge of all the properties and secret funds of the Japanese Navy in Shanghai. Later, with the consent of the Navy Minister, he secretly transferred these funds.
I guess that his early release may be related to the funds he has. Either the CIA was interested in his funds, or MacArthur was interested in the money. "
Fang Lang has indeed never heard of the name Kodama Yushio, but the name "Kodama Agency" mentioned by John seems to have been heard by Fang Lang often from later TV series.
It can be seen that this bastard named Kodama Yushio is definitely a complete war criminal. Now the Americans actually released him early for the funds in their hands.
As a Chinese, he knew where the funds came from without even thinking about it, so he was so angry that he was shaking all over and couldn't help but punch the door.
“These damn bastards, this scumbag is a Class A war criminal, and they released him early just for the money he held?
So what about our comrades who have been through life and death in the past few years and fell on the battlefield? What is the meaning of their deaths? "
John didn't expect Fang Lang's reaction to be like this. To be honest, when he heard that the CIA people actually let these war criminals be released from prison early, he was also very angry. But after more than a year of transition, and with this son Tamaki Shifu really made his job a lot easier, so he had almost forgotten that the other party was a war criminal.
If Fang Lang hadn't mentioned that he wanted to contact the Japanese gang today and asked about this person's specific situation, he would not have been able to remember it. At this time, Fang Lang's reaction made him feel a little ashamed.
You must know that the number of deaths of American soldiers on the Pacific battlefield was also quite huge. These people were all his comrades-in-arms, and now he himself has forgotten them. Instead, he enjoyed the services of these former enemies with peace of mind, forgetting the sacrifices of his comrades.
Thinking of this, John didn't know what to say for a moment, and he looked a little embarrassed.
After Fang Lang vented his anger, he noticed something strange about John next to him. He patted the other man's arm with some embarrassment and said:
"John, I'm sorry! I wasn't talking about you, I meant those CIA bastards."
It was okay if he didn't explain. Once he explained, John Clark's face became even more ugly. However, he also knew that Fang Lang was not targeting him, and what Fang Lang said was not wrong. The person who was wrong in this matter was the CIA, and the CIA representative It is the US government, so in the end, he, a US military colonel, is also at fault.
"It doesn't matter, you're right, we are all bastards. When I first heard that this guy was a war criminal, my reaction was exactly the same as yours. I wanted to kill him with a single shot.
However, I can't do this. In order to safeguard American interests in Japan, we need these bastards who deserve to go to hell. "
In fact, Fang Lang knew the dirtiness of politics better than he did. The reason why he said those words just now was actually because he couldn't hold back for a while and blurted out.
Now after John's interruption, he has understood that since some things have happened, they are definitely not something that the two of them can solve now. After all, the CIA is involved here. The CIA's power now is very huge, and Fang Lang doesn't want to touch the other party's bad luck.
However, this does not mean that Fang Lang is willing to accept all this calmly. On the contrary, some hatred does not need to be expressed openly. Since the Americans cannot let these war criminals receive the punishment they deserve, then maybe he can personally make the other party pay more. The price of staying in jail is even worse.
