Bright Sword: I have a system for exchanging points for killing enemies

Chapter 356 The Enemy Is Always the Enemy

"What military merit?"

After listening to what Kurosan Kumamoto said, Murakuchi Saburo was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked.

At this time, when Heishan Xiongben said that he had military merits, it must be related to the nearby Eighth Route Army troops.

After all, the only troops near Ping'an County that could provide enough military merit to Heishan Kumamoto were the nearby Eighth Route Army troops.

Thinking of this, Murakuchi Saburo began to feel a little worried.

If Heishan Kumamoto had made any decision or deployment in advance against the Eighth Route Army troops near Ping'an County, it would likely have interfered with their plans.

If Kiyomizu Kiichi's promotion plan is disrupted and fails, then his Murakuchi Saburo's Osaka Brigade plan can also be declared a failure.

The most important thing is that Qin Yangming is now mobilizing troops outside to attack Ping'an County. If any unexpected situation occurs at this time.

Murakuchi Saburo couldn't guarantee whether Qin Yangming would hold him responsible for this.

If Qin Yangming held a grudge against him, not only would his plan be unsuccessful, but his life would also be in jeopardy.

Murakuchi Saburo believed that if there had not been this damn war, he and Qin Yangming would definitely have become good friends.

But because of this war, he and Qin Yangming would never be friends.

If an unexpected situation occurs, Qin Yangming will definitely target him and attack him without hesitation.

Don’t be fooled by the harmonious conversation between Village Sanlang and Qin Yangming. In fact, the reason why both sides can get along so well is all because of the first transaction and the subsequent benefits that everyone gets.

But in fact, they are still enemies... To Qin Yangming, his villager Sanlang is an invader who wants to occupy China.

With Qin Yangming's character, he would never let his enemies go.

For his villager Sanlang, Qin Yangming was also an enemy, an enemy who prevented them from occupying this land.

It is true that Murakuchi Saburo made a deal with the Eighth Route Army, but this was only a decision made under duress after he realized that they had no chance of winning the war.

If any unexpected situation occurs this time, resulting in losses to the Eighth Route Army troops, Qin Yangming will definitely not have the patience to investigate the truth of the matter and will definitely kill himself at the first opportunity.

To Qin Yangming, his village boy Sanlang was too smart and too cruel... Such a person was either a friend whom he could trust sincerely... or an enemy whom he could kill without mercy!
Because when his son, Muraguchi Saburo, encountered this situation, he would do the same.

If the positions were reversed, given his absolute advantage, Cunkou Sanlang would definitely kill Qin Yangming without hesitation.

His villager Sanlang was willing to accept the highest level of treatment for the burial of Qin Yangming after his death, and was also willing to take care of Qin Yangming's surviving relatives.

He was even willing to drink the last glass of wine with Qin Yangming when Qin Yangming was seriously injured and beyond help, and became a true friend of Qin Yangming.

However, his village boy Sanlang would never become true friends with Qin Yangming when Qin Yangming was at his most powerful.

Because they are enemies, for Murakuchi Saburo, the dead Qin Yangming, or the seriously injured and dying Qin Yangming, is his best friend.

The alive and strong Qin Yangming is the enemy of his fellow villager Sanlang, an enemy who wants to kill him!
Similarly, for Cunkou Saburo, Qin Yangming was too smart and his brain was too useful. From Cunkou Saburo's point of view, killing Qin Yangming would mean that they would have one less powerful opponent.

Even though they were destined to lose this war, Murakuchi Saburo did not want to lose so soon. He would at least wait until the Osaka people had made enough money before losing.

Killing Qin Yangming, a powerful opponent, can relieve some of the pressure, even if it is only a small bit, but it can also delay the time of defeat slightly.

Even if it was just a delay of one second, one second was enough for Saburo Muraguchi to sell another cannon with the help of the army, enough for Saburo Muraguchi to put a pile of gold bars into his own pocket, enough for Saburo Muraguchi to notify his accomplices in advance.

If Murakuchi Saburo had an absolute advantage when facing Qin Yangming, and Qin Yangming had no chips in his hand.

For his own benefit and the benefit of the entire Osaka, Murakuchi Saburo will definitely kill Qin Yangming.

Similarly, in this situation, once Qin Yangming began to doubt Cunkou Sanlang, he would choose to kill Cunkou Sanlang as soon as possible.

Because his villager Saburo is also very smart and a very powerful opponent for Qin Yangming.

Qin Yangming was also worried that Murakuchi Saburo would turn his gun around and attack him.

So after Qin Yangming became suspicious of Cunkou Sanlang, he would not look for the truth of the matter, but would choose to kill Cunkou Sanlang as soon as possible.

Because Cunkou Sanlang was too smart, so smart that Qin Yangming couldn't guarantee whether the so-called truth he had found out was the real truth or the truth that Cunkou Sanlang wanted him to see.

Therefore, even if it was just to make himself feel at ease, Qin Yangming would kill Cunkou Sanlang without hesitation.

Even if it is Saburo Murakuchi, it is likely that the future will bring greater benefits to the entire Eighth Route Army.

Benefits and risks always coexist.

If his villager Sanlang can bring greater benefits to the Eighth Route Army, he can naturally also bring greater danger to the Eighth Route Army.

To Qin Yangming, Sanlang from his village was always an enemy, not a friend.

It would be fine if you don't have any doubts about Murakuchi Saburo in your heart. Once doubts arise, the most correct thing to do is to kill Murakuchi Saburo directly. If you kill Murakuchi Saburo, then you don't have to worry about whether Murakuchi Saburo will bring greater danger to the Eighth Route Army.

Even Murakuchi Saburo knew in his heart that the plan to behead Shinozuka Yoshio and Iwamatsu Yoshio that he and Qin Yangming had discussed was his last deal with Qin Yangming.

After that incident, it would never be possible for his village Saburo to have any bigger deal or cooperation with the Eighth Route Army.

At most, the counties below would trade supplies or something.

In order to avoid being killed by Qin Yangming before his plan even begins, Murakuchi Saburo must know what this guy Kurosan Kumamoto wants to do.

If Kuroyama Kumamoto really had some plan against the nearby Eighth Route Army, then Murakuchi Saburo would have to send an urgent telegram to Qin Yangming immediately and stop Kuroyama Kumamoto's plan as quickly as possible.

"Huh... Fortunately, Qingquan Muyi tricked Heishan Kumamoto and let me know about this matter, otherwise it would be troublesome."

Thinking about how Kiyomizu Muichi had tricked Kuroiyama Kumamoto into getting a promotion, Murakuchi Saburo felt somewhat relieved.

If Kuroyama Kumamoto had not believed what Kiyomizu Muichi said about his promotion to colonel, then Kuroyama Kumamoto would definitely not have said this. And Murakuchi Saburo would not have been prepared for the sudden situation, which eventually led to the failure of the plan... Although Murakuchi Saburo had a backup plan in case the plan failed, he could not guarantee that the backup plan would work.

Thinking of this, Murakuchi Saburo began to think in his mind and started to infer based on the information he currently knew.

“It seems that Qingquan Muyi just called me over, and what he just said, are all related to the plan of Heishan Kumamoto, but I don’t know what the details are.

Unless Kumamoto from Heishan has also contacted the nearby Eighth Route Army local troops and plans to do the same as I did.

However, this possibility is not high. Heishan Xiongben had no idea what the real situation was when he was transferred back to Taiyuan this time.

No one in the Eighth Route Army knew the truth. Even Qin Yangming didn't know the truth, so it was even less likely that the local Eighth Route Army troops in Ping'an County would know the truth.

No... If Heishan Kumamoto really contacted the local troops of the Eighth Route Army, then there is no reason why Qin Yangming would not know about this.

This is strange. If this is not the case, then who did Heishan Xiongben contact? Could it be that he contacted the Military Control Commission? But the Military Control Commission has no power in Ping'an County.

Could it be that the Military Control Commission intends to use that regiment of the Imperial Army to occupy Ping'an County?"

Sometimes smart people think more than ordinary people.

For example, Murakuchi Saburo.

The more Murakuchi Saburo reasoned, the more he felt something was not right.

Because from the current situation, Heishan Kumamoto has never contacted the Eighth Route Army in Ping'an County.

If Heishan Kumamoto had contacted the local Eighth Route Army troops in Ping'an County, it would be impossible for the local Eighth Route Army troops not to report such a big matter to their superiors.

As long as the local Eighth Route Army troops in Ping'an County report this information to their superiors, Qin Yangming, the commander of the Eighth Route Army troops stationed in Fu'an County, will definitely know this information.

However, Qin Yangming did not say anything related to this, nor did he reveal the fact that the Eighth Route Army in their Ping'an County area had connections with Heishan Kumamoto.

It seems that Heishan Kumamoto obviously had no contact with the Eighth Route Army.

But if we don’t contact the Eighth Route Army and prepare to counterattack them.

Then what basis does Kuroiyama Kumamoto have to say that he has military merits that are enough to make him a colonel?
As for the fact that Kuroiyama Kumamoto contacted the Military Control Commission and planned to counterattack the Military Control Commission, in the opinion of Murakuchi Saburo, such merit would not be of much help for an infantry lieutenant colonel like Kuroiyama Kumamoto to be promoted to colonel.

Because the Military Intelligence Bureau is an intelligence department, not a field force...this kind of credit is an intelligence credit.

If Kuroiyama Kumamoto is a lieutenant colonel in the intelligence department, and if he can take down a regional station of the Military Control Commission, then there will be no problem for him to become a colonel in the intelligence department.

However, Kuroyama Kumamoto is not a lieutenant colonel in the intelligence department, but a garrison officer... Cracking down on intelligence organizations is not the job of Kuroyama Kumamoto, but the job of the Special High Police and the Military Police.

Although Kuroyama Kumamoto did the work of the Special Higher Police, he may not necessarily get any credit.

Even if there was, it would not be enough to support Kurosama Kumamoto's promotion to colonel. The departments are different, the tasks are different, and the size of the merits are naturally different.

Besides...Muraguchi Saburo didn't think that the Military Control Commission would waste any effort in a place like Ping'an County.

Ping'an County is only somewhat important to the Eighth Route Army, but not very important to the Military Control Commission.

"Murakou-kun, Heishan-kun started to tell me that when he was reselling supplies, he discovered that there were members of the Military Control Commission, so he took advantage of the situation and set a trap for them.

However, the plan was not reported to the higher-ups, so they didn’t know about the situation, and now they have transferred me to Ping’an County.

Plus, Heishan-kun is going to be promoted, and he needs this credit, so he hopes I can help. Muraguchi-kun, please take a look at it and see if there are any loopholes in the plan."

Saburo Murakuchi had just decided in his heart that it was impossible for Kurosan Kumamoto to have contacted the Military Control Commission.

As a result, Qingquan Muyi directly told what Heishan Kumamoto had told him.

However, the news that Qingquan Mu said, that Heishan Kumamoto accidentally discovered the Military Intelligence Bureau personnel, and then designed a transaction with the Military Intelligence Bureau personnel to gain their trust, directly became that Heishan Kumamoto discovered the Military Intelligence Bureau personnel when he was reselling supplies.

"Qingquan, no, it's like this... Oh, forget it, when I was looking for the Imperial Army to resell supplies, I found that they had dealings with the Military Control Commission, so I used this as an excuse to contact the Military Control Commission.

I plan to dig out all the Military Control Commissioners in North China, and at the same time eliminate all non-Eighth Route Army hostile forces in the Ping'an County area.

The plan was going smoothly, but I didn’t expect that I would be transferred to Taiyuan suddenly. ”

When Kurosan Kumamoto saw that Kiyozumi Muichi had told his true situation, he originally wanted to make some excuses, change the order, and cover it up.

But he suddenly thought that it was very likely that Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyozumi Kiichi had done these things, and Murakuchi Saburo was also an excellent student at Kyoto University, so he might not be able to hide it from Murakuchi Saburo even if he tried to cover it up.

Instead of hiding it, it is better to be honest.

Anyway, his original plan to use Qingquan Muyi as a white glove also failed.

After all, Kiyozumi Kiichi and Murakuchi Saburo have such a good relationship. When I framed Kiyozumi Kiichi, it was inevitable that it would affect Murakuchi Saburo.

At that time, I will definitely face the revenge of Murakuchi Saburo.

Kurosan Kuma didn't want to face the revenge of Murakuchi Saburo, so naturally he needed to change his mind.

Although Kumamoto Heishan admitted that he was the one who resold the supplies first, he did not say that he was the one who contacted the Military Control Commission. He planned to help the Military Control Commission take over the county seat of Ping'an County tonight and kill Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyomizu Muichi as a token of his loyalty in exchange for the protection of the Military Control Commission.

After hearing what Kiyozumi Kiichi said, Murakuchi Saburo was completely stunned.

"It really is the Military Control Commission. No, how could it be the Military Control Commission?!"

Saburo Murakuchi was a little confused, and then quickly asked Kurosan Kumamoto.

"Mr. Heishan, tell me in detail, what are your plans? What are your plans?
According to my guess, even if you destroyed the military intelligence network in North China, this achievement may not necessarily allow you to be promoted smoothly, right?"
