Chapter 813: Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, you thought of it
After leaving Prince Asaka's residence, Okamura Yasuji sat in the car and sighed.
Nanzō Yunko, who was driving, turned around and asked, "General, why are you sighing?"
"It seems that Prince Asaka knew from the beginning that Hashimoto Saburo was bound to die."
"What do you mean?" Nanzō Yunko asked, confused.
Okamura Neiji recounted the conversation and then said, "He had long known that the fire was caused by Zhou Weiguo, but because that villain Zhou Weiguo had repeatedly retaliated against him, he was very worried that this incident would backfire on him, so he didn't intend to get involved."
Nanjō Yunko smiled. "It seems Hashimoto Saburo is just a stepping stone for him. After all, there is a high possibility that there will be problems with the supplies requisitioned from the mountain city. The suggestion proposed by Hashimoto Saburo can indeed solve this problem, but..."
"It's just that he can't bring this up with Chaoxiang. After all, he's still responsible for the Nanjing incident. Zhou Weiguo didn't approach him this time, so he naturally doesn't intend to get into trouble."
At this point, Okamura Neiji asked, "Have you told him about the headquarters' plan?"
"I've already said that if it weren't for Hashimoto Saburo's incident, they would have already gone back."
Saburo Hashimoto is dead, and this time the headquarters decided to fight a battle in Yamashiro to break the deadlock.
"Contact him. If he wants to leave, we will arrange a transport plane for him to arrive near Hengyang as soon as possible."
As Prince Asaka said, only when this person truly leaves will Tokyo City be peaceful.
"Bakayalo." Headquarters of the 11th Army.
Anami Korechika was so angry that he threw the documents in his hands to the ground.
Fujita and the military police captain, who were standing opposite, shuddered at the sound of the document falling to the ground.
"Those people at the base camp are idiots." Anami Korechika cursed without any hesitation.
He had heard about what happened in Tokyo City, and he was even able to analyze that the Tokyo fire had a lot to do with Zhou Weiguo, because he was a man who would never let go of his grudges.
"This incident was clearly caused by that bastard Mei Jing Meijiro, but the headquarters pushed the main person into the hands of the Jianghu people, and even pushed out the Beichen Yidaoliu, which only had a few members left. Do they really think that these few people can't cause much trouble?"
"Maybe, for them, the knife never fell on them." Fujita next to him said cautiously.
Humph……
Anami Korechika rubbed his temples. "Yeah, it didn't fall on them, but it fell on us."
Starting from the third day after the Empire's withdrawal, the Empire's front-line troops began to suffer crazy retaliation from a small team.
By now, the total number of soldiers killed and vehicles destroyed had exceeded twenty. They even attacked the merchants and civilians of the Empire here.
"Oh..." Anami Korechika sighed heavily, knowing that he no longer had the strength to deal with it.
The last time the Special High Technology Department was manipulated by the Second Division, their elite forces were completely thwarted, and he didn't have a real special forces team to fight against them. So, he could only deal with this matter passively.
"Increase patrols in all areas. All convoys must be fortified and accompanied by cavalry. Furthermore, the gendarmes and police stations in all areas must increase the frequency and number of patrols. Strictly instruct local officials to convey to the merchants and civilians of our Empire that no one should enter or leave public areas before dark."
There's no way. He can't afford to offend but he can't hide away either.
"Yes." Fujita breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Anami Korechika would go crazy and force him to chase after that small team.
To be honest, the movement trajectory of that small team was terribly chaotic, and it seemed that they were acting separately.
But according to the investigation, the other party had no more than ten people in total. How did they do it?
"The matter of collecting grain and fodder must be handled quickly. Also, this time, we must not push too hard on the grain collection."
"General, being able to get them to prepare food for our Imperial Army is a sign of their admiration. How can they..."
Snapped……
Anami Korechika slapped the military police captain in the face and said, "Baka, are you trying to force the people to rebel?"
There is a bottom line to using war to support war. If there is no bottom line, then the places that have finally calmed down will immediately fall into chaos. When the people rise up to attack, how many people will be needed to deal with it?
"Why, are you still planning to massacre the entire city to serve as a warning to others? It's only been a short time since the Nanjing Incident, and you've already forgotten the fates of Prince Asaka, Tani Hisao, Matsui Ishigen, and the others."
Among those people, except for Asaka from the royal family, the rest are now sitting on the bench.
"Idiot." Anami Korechika narrowed his eyes and glared at him before saying to Fujita, "You'll be responsible for this matter."
The military police captain stepped back aggrievedly, but Fujita nodded helplessly. "Yes, I will take care of this matter."
After they finished talking, they left at the same time.
The captain of the military police muttered quietly after leaving the office, "Why do I feel that the general is afraid? We are the imperial army, how can we be afraid of those peasants?"
Fujita looked at him and said, "You better use your brain."
"What's wrong with me?" The gendarmerie captain frowned. This bastard actually scolded him.
"The Nanjing incident caused such a huge mess that seven or eight officers were killed. We just collected food once, and it hasn't been long since then, and they're collecting it again. This is pushing the people to death. If you really force them to rebel, you don't think these unarmed people will really put up with it."
"They think our weapons are fire sticks." The gendarmerie captain said unconvinced.
Ah……
"I don't know if it's a fire stick, but I do know that your whole family will die, and even the general won't have a good ending. They are peasants, but don't forget that they also have capable people among them."
Why did such a big incident happen in Tokyo? It’s because there are people there.
"Keep a low profile. The Independent Regiment is now in the Ninth War Zone, and their commander is a ruthless character. Have you forgotten how he dealt with the Nakamura Brigade? He even killed Prince Asaka's daughter. Do you think he can kill Prince Asaka's daughter, but he can't kill a lieutenant colonel like you and your family? Where do you get your confidence from?"
"Then... what should we do now?" The military police captain gasped. Yes, he admitted that he had been impulsive. How could he... could he almost bring his entire family into trouble just to curry favor with someone?
"That's nothing for you to worry about." Fujita glanced at him. "What do you have to worry about?"
