After receiving ten blows from the military spirit stick, Shibazaki couldn't get out of bed for several days. Fortunately, he was a military doctor himself and recovered from his injuries relatively quickly.
On the morning of the third day, Shibazaki had just finished applying the medicine on himself when there was a knock on the door, "Tuk-tuk, Tuk-tuk!"
Shibazaki limped to the door and took a look through the door mirror. Outside the door was a man in his thirties, well dressed in a suit and leather shoes.
Shibazaki opened the door and said, "Who are you looking for?"
The man in the suit bowed slightly and said: "Shibasaki-kun, hello, I am Yamamoto Kuzo."
Shibasaki looked at him doubtfully and said, "We don't seem to know each other."
"Asano Ryoichi is a fellow countryman of mine. He often mentions Shibazaki-kun and says that you are a steady gentleman among soldiers!"
"Oh, you are Asano's fellow villager...do you have a problem with me?" Shibazaki and Asano Ryoichi were in the same army before, and they got along fairly well.
"Can I go in and talk?"
"Of course, please come in."
After letting Yamamoto Kuzo into the room, Shibazaki said: "Mr. Yamamoto, I am injured and I did not greet you well. Please forgive me."
"It's okay, it's okay..." Yamamoto Jiuzang opened his leather bag, took out a box from it, and said, "This is a topical ointment produced in Yunnan, China. It is very effective in treating bruises. You can try it."
Shibazaki: "It seems that Mr. Yamamoto knows my situation very well."
Yamamoto Kuzo said with a smile: "I am not the only one who knows about the shooting incident at the Furong Hotel."
Speaking of this incident, Shibazaki felt extremely upset. His fiancée was still being ravaged inside, and as a man, he felt extremely ashamed.
Yamamoto Jiuzang sighed: "I have dedicated everything to the country, but my unmarried wife has become a military prostitute. This kind of humiliation is simply unbearable for a man!"
Shibazaki gritted his teeth and his eyes seemed to burst out with fire. Finally, he lowered his head helplessly.
He is just a small corps commander, and he can do nothing but feel sad for what happened to Liangzi.
Yamamoto Kuzo observed his reaction and changed the topic: "Shibasaki-kun, what do you think of the battle situation?"
Shibazaki's heart moved and he said warily: "Mr. Yamamoto, who are you?"
Yamamoto Kuzo: "I am a member of the Japanese Anti-War League."
Shibazaki reached out and took out the pistol from the drawer, took two steps back and said, "Anti-War Alliance? Are you trying to throw yourself into a trap?"
Yamamoto Jiuzang said calmly: "Shibasaki-kun, I know you are from Tokyo. Do you want to know the current situation there?"
Shibazaki said coldly: "You should go to the Military Police with me first!"
Yamamoto Jiuzang turned a blind eye to the muzzle of the gun and continued: "The U.S. military has been bombing Tokyo more and more intensively. You can see bombed-out houses everywhere when you walk on the streets. In the Battle of Saipan, the Imperial Army lost nearly 40,000 troops...
Shibasaki-kun, wake up, Japan’s defeat is certain!”
Shibasaki slowly put down his pistol, was silent for a while, and said: "I think you are Asano's friend, I won't embarrass you, just go away!"
"Shibasaki-kun, I've said so much, don't you understand what I mean? I want to help you!"
"Help me?...What do you mean?"
"While there is still a chance now, take Liangzi to a place without war and live the life you want!"
"There are wars everywhere, where can I go? Besides, I can't take Ryoko with me. I can't even protect my own woman. I...I'm sorry for her!" Shibazaki beat his head in pain.
Yamamoto Jiuzang whispered: "We can help you do this!"
"...How can you help me?"
A glimmer of hope ignited in Shibazaki's heart. He knew that the Anti-War Alliance was very powerful. As long as he could save Ryoko from suffering, he would do anything.
"We can send you and Liangzi to Chongqing first, and then fly to the United States!"
"You want me to be a traitor?"
"No, Shibazaki-kun, you have to understand that it was Japan that trampled on your loyalty. You were just protecting your wife. What's wrong with that?"
Shibasaki didn't speak for a while, and then he said after a long time: "Why do you want to help me?"
Yamamoto Kuzo said seriously: "The significance of the existence of the Anti-War Alliance is not only to oppose aggression and war, but also to help all compatriots who want to escape from the control of Japan!"
Shibazaki smiled and said: "Mr. Yamamoto, I don't believe in help for no reason. Let's be honest, what do you want me to do?"
Yamamoto Jiuzang nodded and said: "Shibasaki-kun is really happy, we really want you to do something!"
"What's up?"
"Get the bacterial antidote from the Water Supply and Epidemic Prevention Department!"
Shibazaki was secretly surprised and said, "How do you know about bacteria?"
Yamamoto Jiuzang said calmly: "How can fire be contained in paper? We have known about this kind of evil behavior against humanity for a long time."
After another long silence, Shibazaki said: "There is indeed an antidote, but it is locked in the section chief's office. No one can get in without the key."
Yamamoto Jiuzang smiled slightly, took out a bunch of keys from his arms, and said, "This is not a problem!"
"This, where does this come from?"
"You don't have to worry about where they come from. These keys are guaranteed to open Kagawa Nissaku's office!"
"Okay! I'll help you!" The injustices he has encountered in the past few days have made Shibazaki not only want to save Ryoko, but also have a desire for revenge!
Yamamoto Jiuzang patted the key into his hand and said, "How much is the antidote?"
Shibasaki thought for a moment and said, "I remember that I only prepared two bottles in total, mainly just in case."
"There must be a formula for the antidote, right?"
"I don't know. I have never seen that the process of preparing the antidote was all done by Nisaku Kagawa himself."
"It's best to find the formula! This is less risky than getting the antidote directly. You can copy it in a few minutes!"
"I'll try my best!"
"After you get it, go to the north gate of Yanjin Park and take a copy of Yanjin Daily. We will send someone to contact you."
"…Where is Ryoko?"
"She will appear with the person who contacted you, and then send you directly away from Yanjin!"
——After learning about the shooting incident at Furong Hotel, Jiang Xinyu keenly realized that this was a rare opportunity!
If you can get Shibasaki's help, he is an internal member of the Water Supply and Epidemic Prevention Department, so he will naturally be more reliable than Cao Yunfei!
Yamamoto Kuzo is not actually Japanese, nor is he a member of the Anti-War Alliance. He is just an agent at the Peking Military Command Station who can speak Japanese.
This time, he was specially transferred to Yanjin through the headquarters in order to convince Shibazaki that anyone is always more willing to trust his own compatriots.
If Shibasaki turns against him, the military commanders lurking nearby will break in and get rid of him directly!
Afterwards, Yamamoto Kuzo immediately left Yanjin. Even if Shibazaki regretted his decision at the last moment, it would not cause any loss to the military commander.
