Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 922 This is Hell

It was rather troublesome to get to Jiangcheng. One had to take a train to Jinling first, and then go up the river. The supplies they brought were still being loaded onto the ship. Lin Ze, Hua Guzheng and others went ahead, and after four or five days, they finally arrived in Jiangcheng.

Jiangcheng, originally a prosperous commercial port, appeared somewhat dilapidated after the war.

When the Southern Army evacuated Jiangcheng, they moved away all the valuables and blew up anything that could not be moved. The fire burned for two days and Jiangcheng was almost reduced to ruins.

As the front line, the Japanese obviously had no intention of developing the economy here. The curfew was very strict at the beginning. From 5 pm to 7 am, anyone who went out on the street would be shot immediately without asking the reason.

It wasn't until two years later that the regulation was relaxed.

The entire city is still under martial law. There is not even a municipal government office. The gendarmerie headquarters is the municipal government office, police station, detective team and other offices. I heard that the gendarmerie headquarters here is huge, with many departments, and there are quite a lot of Chinese working there.

The devils divided the entire Jiangcheng into military zones, concession zones, and refugee zones.

The vast majority of Chinese people live in refugee camps, without clean water, electricity, or medicine.

When we arrived at Jiangcheng Wharf, people from the 11th Army came to greet us.

The leading officer is a major general, Taijiro Fukuyama, the chief of the secret service department of the 11th Army. The 11th Army has a complete range of departments such as the secret service department and the general staff department, which is enough to show its large scale.

Fukuyama did not stay long and left in a hurry after the meeting. It was obvious that he was busy with official business.

The person who stayed behind to settle Lin Ze and his group was the commander-in-chief of the Jiangcheng Military Police, Shigeto Kenfumi, whose military rank was colonel.

This man was a rare tall figure among the Japanese soldiers. He had a beard and a rough appearance.

But as soon as they met, Lin Ze found that this man was rough but meticulous, and paid attention to details in his words and deeds.

Compared to Hanatani Masaru, Shigefumi Kenfumi seems to respect Hayashi Ze more. I wonder if it was Okamura who greeted him.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Hanatani, you are here to support us on behalf of the North China Front Army. His Excellency the Lieutenant General is very pleased. He will personally host a banquet for you tonight. In addition, your accommodations will be at our Military Police Headquarters."

Hua Guzheng asked, "We have to stay together. Can't we go out?"

Shigeto Kenbun smiled and said, "Hanatani-kun, you've misunderstood. You're all free to move around until ordered from above. The reason you're staying at the headquarters is because Jiangcheng was bombed to rubble, and there's really no good place to stay. The headquarters used to be the Dafu Bank, and it has guest rooms, a restaurant, a reception room, and so on. It's not luxurious, but it's clean."

Dafu Bank was originally the property of Huang Wenzhi, a famous businessman and president of the Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce. At the time, he was full of ambition and not only invested a large sum of money to set up a bank, but also asked foreigners to design and build a four-story building covering a large area, which became a landmark of Jiangcheng in a short time.

Unexpectedly, Jiangcheng fell a few years later, and the Huang family moved to Shancheng, which was then occupied by the Japanese.

When we got there, we saw that it was all Western style. There was a building in the middle used for offices, and on both sides were guest rooms, restaurants, and clubs for the officers to enjoy. The back was a large area with rows of houses and a basement, which were all cells and interrogation rooms.

As if wanting to show off in front of his colleagues, Shigeto Kenfumi proudly introduced, "Under the personal arrangement of Major General Fukuyama, we built a nitric acid pool here. It's much more useful than a crematorium."

Lin Ze had a blank expression on his face, but hatred was burning in his heart. He must get rid of this person.

Hua Gu was a little uncomfortable. He was an academic and had little experience working on the front line. It was difficult for him to imagine such a horrible scene.

On the way to the gendarmerie headquarters, the car also passed through the refugee area.

Although it was daytime, ordinary people had to hold a good citizen certificate issued by the headquarters to enter.

Every time I am inspected, I bow and say hello.

Lin Ze looked at the pedestrians on the road. They all had pale faces and were half-dressed. Occasionally he saw one or two children, who were all skinny and had dull eyes. They were avoiding the Japanese while begging for food cautiously.

At an intersection, an ordinary Japanese soldier was arrogant. He randomly grabbed a few people, made them stand in a row, and then asked them questions loudly in non-standard Chinese.

"His Majesty the Emperor, plus the Empire of Japan, plus Manchuria, plus the Nanjing Reform Office, what does that even equal?!"

"Say! What does it equal to?"

How can ordinary people answer this kind of question?

He could only look terrified and keep begging for mercy.

The Japanese soldier laughed heartily, pulled out his gun, and kept threatening, "If you can't answer, I'll slap you! Slap you!"

Everyone was afraid that he would shoot, so they could only slap themselves desperately. Some even broke their skin and blood oozed from the corners of their mouths.

Suddenly, a younger man shouted, "It's the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. His Majesty the Emperor, the Empire of Japan, Manchuria, and the Nanjing Restoration Government—all together they make up the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere!"

The Japanese soldier laughed.

"Hey, you also know about the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere!"

The young man was about to give an embarrassed smile, but the Japanese soldier suddenly changed his expression, "Baga! Do you think you're so smart? This is the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Where do you put Southeast Asia? Where do you put the Pacific Ocean? Baga!"

Then he fired a shot, and the young man fell to the ground in disbelief. The Japanese soldier found it very interesting and kicked him.

This is the misery of a conquered nation.

This is how hateful the Japanese are.

Compared to Tianjin, this place is hell.

In the guest rooms of the Military Police Headquarters, many of the service staff are Chinese, and many of them are young women.

When Lin Ze went upstairs, a waiter accidentally dropped Lin Ze's luggage on the ground, perhaps because he had been hungry for too long or had an injury on his hand.

Lin Ze was furious, "Baga!"

After saying that, he kicked the waiter to the ground, took out his gun and was about to shoot him.

Shigeto Kenbun, who had been watching coldly from the side, suddenly intervened, "Lin-kun, forget it. He was just careless. Just punish him by not letting him eat for two days."

"Damn, these Chinese are so clumsy!"

"I heard that Mr. Lin is also Chinese?"

Lin Ze instantly turned his gaze towards him, squinting his eyes, and said in a standard Tokyo accent: "I have served three generals, and they never asked me this question."

"Hayi, it was Shigeto who was rude. Please forgive me, Lin Jun."

Then he waved his hand and someone took the waiter away.

When he disappeared from everyone's sight, a Japanese soldier gave the waiter a military ticket and a steamed bun.

Shigeto escorted Lin Ze and the others to the door of the room. "Lin Jun, please rest for a while. Someone will come to call you before the dinner begins. If you need anything, you can give orders to anyone in this building at any time."

"I dare not. If anything happens, I will trouble Shigeto-kun."

"my pleasure."
