He was truly fed up with living in constant fear.
These two need to hurry up.
If you want to torment others, go and torment them. Don't torment yourselves; you really can't handle it.
"Shall we go back?" After her father left, Xiang Xiuling asked Zhou Weiguo, who was standing beside her.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Weiguo nodded; "Well, there's nothing else here, so we can go back now. But before we leave, we should still go see Kamii Jiro."
No matter how you look at it, that person was one of his own, and he was always very willing to give to his own people.
Threats alone are useless; money is needed to secure their loyalty and get them to work for us. Besides, judging from the environment where Uejiro lives, he's not exactly wealthy. If he were, how could a colonel like him live in such a place?
This was intolerable to the arrogant Japanese officers, unless they had no other choice.
Zhou Weiguo appeared at Uejiro's house once again.
When Kawai Jiro returned from the Army Headquarters and entered the room, he saw the high-end gift boxes and food placed on the table.
He didn't even glance at the gift box. He did, however, take a second look at the food.
“It seems you don’t like these gift boxes,” Zhou Weiguo, who was sitting on a stool reading a newspaper, asked after glancing at him.
Kamii Jiro pointed to himself; "I'm a rough man, it's a waste for someone like me to eat a gift like this."
Is it a waste?
Zhou Weiguo chuckled twice; "Your work is very mentally taxing. I'm not worried that you'll overthink things and kill yourself with your thoughts, so I'm telling you to eat more. Of course, if you can't eat it all, you can give it to your superiors. After all, my things are all presentable."
These were all taken from Asaka's residence; they were tributes from his subordinates. Each one was a valuable item, and some of them were things he had robbed but hadn't had time to sell yet.
These items are too expensive, so they're not easy to sell.
Asaka Shurei saw someone come in, she took out a bottle of beer.
Uejiro looked at the bottle of baijiu, then his composure flared as he glanced at Zhou Weiguo.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Weiguo approached the table with a half-smile and said, "You seem quite surprised."
"This wine..."
"This wine isn't something just anyone can afford. It must be from one of your high-ranking officials, or perhaps a politician. So, your choice was right."
He didn't know if it was right or wrong, but he was very clear that the empire seemed to have no more secrets left in the mountain city.
"There are many people here, and I am just one of them, right?" Kamii Jiro asked cautiously.
After pouring him a glass of baijiu, Zhou Weiguo laughed and said, "Strictly speaking, before I received that news, you were practically a dead man in my eyes."
Which thing?
Kamii Jiro, sitting next to him, seemed a little confused.
"You were so desperate to attack the Northern Soviet Union, so I spared your life."
I understand. This is telling myself that if it weren't for this incident, I'd probably be dead by now.
"What are you planning to do next?" Since they were already considered Zhou Weiguo's people, any conscience or guilt about betraying the interests of the empire had long since vanished under the threat to the safety of their families and even their entire clan.
Before meeting Zhou Weiguo today, he still held onto a sliver of hope that Zhou Weiguo's threat to his entire clan was just a joke, after all, he was, after all, a colonel in the Empire's army.
It's not easy to investigate everything about yourself.
But now, all the dreams have come to an end.
Zhou Weiguo, he really knows how to investigate himself thoroughly. Who told him to bring out such liquor and such cigarette boxes? His own roster is registered. As long as we follow this line of investigation, his whole family will be finished.
He had another option: to report it and have his superiors monitor the investigation, seeing who was investigating his documents. Once they found out, they could follow the trail and bring the person to justice. But this was risky.
Zhou Weiguo is not a man of conscience. If his informant disappears, he will immediately suspect him, and his family will still face dire consequences. That's his skill, and that's his ability.
He couldn't afford to gamble, nor did he dare to gamble. Nobody dared to gamble; whoever did would die.
Therefore, he surrendered. This way, he could both save his family and continue to live.
Next?
After a moment's thought, Zhou Weiguo shook his head: "For now, we can only hold off the North China Front Army's offensive. As for the rest..."
I never imagined that when soldiers come, we'll meet them head-on, and when water comes, we'll dam it.
When Asaka Shurei saw Kawai Jiro looking at her husband, she thought for a moment and asked, "You want to offer a pledge of allegiance, don't you?"
I guess so.
After all, having surrendered, I always need to do something. Otherwise, when this guy kicks me while I'm down, I'll be the best candidate, since I'm the newest one to surrender and haven't brought them any benefits yet.
"The North China Front's offensive will inevitably be fierce, and it is very likely to trigger other crises. For example, the British withdrawal this time may cause the Empire to change its plans and launch a new offensive against you."
Zhou Weiguo had also considered this issue.
He nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed a big problem. After all, the withdrawal of the British troops left behind a blank area, which is the way to occupy and exchange benefits here. They want to give up those places so that they can come over and deal with us. This is indeed a very good method."
He couldn't come up with a reasonable solution.
"Do you have any good ideas on how to resolve this crisis?" Zhou Weiguo personally served him a piece of braised pork knuckle.
He was still very considerate to his own people. Although it wasn't something he truly meant, the gesture was enough. Now, it was up to him, Kamii Jiro, to accept it or not. He had already done what he was supposed to do, so whether he did anything else was unimportant.
If you don't want to do it, just kill them.
After looking at the pork knuckle in the middle for a moment, Uejiro said, "Terauchi Hisaichi is determined to become a general. However, here, becoming a general is based on seniority, and he is not senior enough at the moment. Therefore, he only has another choice, which is to do something that will impress everyone in the empire."
He left it at that; he was confident that Zhou Weiguo, with his intelligence, would understand what he meant by the remaining questions.
He also believed that Zhou Weiguo would do a good job, and that doing so would make his conscience feel a little better.
