Miyamoto opened the door and walked in, stood at attention and saluted, "Major."
"We just received a telegram from the headquarters, asking us to secretly arrest this person!" Hattori Hikoo pushed Shibasaki's photo over.
Miyamoto took it over, took a look at it, and said, "Isn't this... Sergeant Shibasaki of the Water Supply and Epidemic Prevention Department?"
"You know him?"
"Some time ago, he caused trouble at the Furong Hotel. The next day, he came to the Military Police to receive the military spirit stick. At that time, I was responsible for supervising the execution... What happened to him?"
"Shibasaki's fiancée mistakenly joined the comfort group. He may have thought that the headquarters was unfair, so he was dissatisfied. He stole two bottles of potion supplied to the Water and Epidemic Prevention Department last night and is now missing."
"Major, I suggest you keep an eye on Shibasaki's fiancée..."
Hattori Hikoo waved his hand and said: "That woman is also missing. Lead your people to keep an eye on the station dock. If you find them, arrest them immediately. If there is resistance, shoot them without mercy!"
"yes!"
"Go down and call Sakai."
"yes!"
A few minutes later, Sakai Jiro stepped in and said with both feet: "Major, are you looking for me?"
"How is Maolin's injury?"
"It's basically nothing serious."
"Early tomorrow morning, you and Mao Lin will search for other Central Command personnel in the city!"
"Yes!...Major, what should I do with Shopkeeper Zhou?"
"Did you recruit?"
"not yet."
"According to Mao Lin's confession, Shopkeeper Zhou is just a liaison officer and not of much value. Don't waste time on him. Lock him up first and deal with him at the end of the month!"
"clear!"
"Ring ring ring ring~" the phone on the table rang.
"Hey... Ayako, what's going on?" Hattori Hikoo waved his hand for Sakai Jiro to go out.
"Hattori-kun, will you come back tonight?"
"I don't know yet, is something wrong?"
"You haven't been home for two days in a row. Mina and I are very worried about you..."
"Report!" the guard's voice came from outside the door.
Hattori Hikoo covered the receiver and said, "What's the matter?"
"Captain Tian Junsheng of the defense team, please see me."
"Let him in."
"yes!"
Hattori Hikoo said to the phone: "There's something going on here, please hang up first."
"But……"
Hattori Hikoo hung up the phone. He was suppressing the doubts in his heart. If he hadn't wanted to find out the truth of the matter, he would have asked Chang Hongling face to face why he took contraceptives without telling him!
Under the guidance of the guards, Tian Junsheng walked in with a humble face. When he saw Hattori Hikoo, he immediately bowed at 90 degrees.
"Captain Tian, please sit down."
"Thank you Major."
"Can I help you?"
"I came here specially to collect the ammunition for the garrison for the next month."
"Does this kind of thing require you to go there yourself?"
"It's not peaceful recently. I'm worried that the people below are not doing well..."
"It's not peaceful? Where is it?" Hattori Hikoo interrupted him coldly.
"Uh... what I mean by humble position is that the rebels have been extremely active recently and the gendarmerie is far away from Dagu, so it's better to be cautious." Tian Junsheng explained.
Hattori Hikoo was silent for a moment and said: "This problem will be solved soon. The garrison army will organize a sweep soon. Captain Tian, your garrison must be prepared."
"The garrison is on standby at any time, at the command of the Major!" Tian Junsheng stood up and saluted, showing an awe-inspiring and fearless attitude.
Hattori Hikoo nodded and said, "How is the replenishment of the garrison's troops going?"
Tian Junsheng grinned and said: "It was fine in previous years, but this year recruitment is particularly difficult. Notices are posted, and sometimes not a single person signs up for the whole day."
Hattori Hikoo thought for a while and said: "If the shortage of troops is too large, we will implement forced conscription!"
"Major, you may not know that not only is it difficult to replenish the troops, but there have also been more and more deserters in recent times."
Hattori Hikoo snorted coldly: "The captured deserters will be severely punished. If that doesn't work, just kill a few of them and see who dares to run away!"
"What you said is, what you said is..." Tian Junsheng peeked at Hattori Hikoo's face and said cautiously: "I heard that the imperial army won a victory in the south, and General Hengshan captured Hengyang in one fell swoop.
It’s really gratifying.”
Hattori Hikoo frowned and said: "The imperial army lost nearly 40,000 troops, and the Chinese army only paid a price of less than 20,000 troops. What is there to be proud of for such a victory!"
Tian Junsheng said in surprise: "How could this happen?"
Although he had heard some rumors, Tian Junsheng was still surprised when he heard it from Hattori Hikoo's mouth. His main purpose of coming to the Military Police today was to find out the authenticity of this matter.
"Hengyang defender Fang Xianjue is a respectable opponent. Outnumbered and outnumbered, he was able to hold on to Hengyang for a month and a half..." Halfway through, Hattori Hikoo looked at Tian Junsheng and said, "You seem to be very concerned about the current situation?
"
Tian Junsheng said with a smile on his face: "The humble post and the imperial army are in the same boat, so naturally I am more concerned..."
"We don't need to worry about things thousands of miles away! Captain Tian, the garrison is very mobile. We have to rely on you for security outside the city."
"I am humble enough to do the hard work of a dog and a horse!"
Hattori Hikoo thought for a while and said, "Besides, you came just in time... At six o'clock tomorrow morning, you will personally lead a team of people to assist the personnel of the Water Supply and Epidemic Prevention Department and escort a group of prisoners to Xiaoshipengzi Military Airport."
"yes."
"There is an issue to note here. All soldiers must stay three meters away from prisoner vehicles!"
"Why is this?"
"You don't need too many details, just execute the order!"
"yes!……"
Returning to the garrison, before Tian Junsheng could sit firmly on his butt, the guard outside came in and reported: "Captain, there is a Mr. Liu who wants to see you."
Tian Junsheng: “Please come quickly!”
Mr. Liu is in his thirties. On the surface, he is a clerk of the Anti-Smoking Bureau. In fact, he is an agent of the military commander's counterattack group, responsible for contacting Tian Junsheng.
"You go down first!" Tian Junsheng dismissed the guards, and then said: "Mr. Liu, what advice do you have here this time?"
Mr. Liu: "I heard that Captain Tian went to the Military Police, so I came here specifically to inquire about something."
"Please say."
"The Department of Water Supply and Epidemic Prevention is going to transfer a group of prisoners, does this task fall to the garrison?"
Tian Junsheng said in surprise: "Mr. Liu, you are really a god!"
Mr. Liu smiled and said, "So, this is true?"
"It's true. I'm just curious, how did you know that Hattori Hikoo would send this errand to the garrison?"
"It's very simple. Those prisoners carried infectious germs. Of course the Japanese don't want their own people to take such unnecessary risks. The garrison is a combat force, and it is best to leave it to you."
"Infectious bacteria?"
"Yes, according to the information we have, the purpose of the Japanese experimenting with living bacteria is to make the plague spread in China so that they can win without a fight and take advantage of the opportunity to profit from it!"
"Oh, that's it...what do you need me to do?"
"Tell me the time and route for transferring the prisoner tomorrow."
"Departure at six o'clock in the morning, leave the city from the west gate and go to Xiaoshipengzi Military Airport."
"Are you leading the escort?"
"I'll lead the team."
"Great!... Tomorrow we will carry out an armed carjacking. When your defense team fights back, raise the barrel of the gun and shoot to avoid accidental damage from both sides!"
Tian Junsheng said hesitantly: "But... if the Japanese investigate afterward, how can I explain it? Those Japanese military doctors are not blind, they will definitely be able to tell that we are fake!"
Mr. Liu whispered: "When the time comes, you will say this..."
