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

Chapter 357 Asking for Benefits
"That's right. Simply destroying a military intelligence network will not help me get promoted to colonel!"

Listening to Murakuchi Saburo's question, Kurosan Kumamoto nodded, expressing his approval of Murakuchi Saburo's words.

Murakuchi Saburo listened to what Kuroiyama Kumamoto said and knew that the other party had more to say, so he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he sat on the tatami, looking at Kuroiyama Kumamoto, waiting for Kuroiyama Kumamoto to tell him his plan.

"It's true that destroying a Military Intelligence Station won't get me a promotion, but what if I destroy the army that the Military Intelligence Bureau has established in North China?"

Kurosan Kumamoto looked at Murakuchi Saburo mysteriously and told him his plan.

"The army formed by the Military Control Commission in North China? Does the Military Control Commission have an army in North China? I do know that the Military Control Commission has an anti-Japanese and national salvation army in the south.

As far as I know, the Military Control Commission doesn't have any troops in North China, right?

Mr. Heishan, are you sure this is your plan?"

After listening to the plan mentioned by Kuroiyama Kumamoto, Saburo Murakuchi quickly recalled the intelligence about the Military Control Commission, and then asked Kuroiyama Kumamoto uncertainly.

Murakuchi Saburo had some knowledge of the Military Intelligence Bureau and had even done business with it.

However, when he was dealing with the Military Intelligence Bureau, the people there wanted to threaten him and force him to provide information or something.

Therefore, Murakuchi Saburo directly used his connections to mobilize the army to destroy the Military Control Commission station.

After several transactions, in which this situation occurred to a greater or lesser extent, Murakuchi Saburo shared information with all the people involved and told them not to trade with the Military Control Commission, saying that the people in the Military Control Commission had no credibility and were always trying to get something for nothing.

After suffering a loss at the hands of the Military Control Commission, Saburo Murakuchi contacted his classmates in the intelligence department to learn more about the Military Control Commission.

I learned some general information about the structure of the Military Control Commission.

Although the Military Intelligence Bureau is only an intelligence department, it also has an army specifically used for combat.

And the fighting capacity is not weak.

But Murakuchi Saburo remembered that the Military Control Commission's troops should be in the south, and there should be no Military Control Commission troops in North China.

Therefore, Saburo Murakuchi felt a little strange about the Military Control Commission troops mentioned by Kurosan Kumamoto.

"It seems that Mr. Murakuchi has some understanding of the Military Control Commission."

When Kuroyama Kumamoto saw Murakuchi Saburo, he immediately told him about the Military Control Commission's troops in the south. He guessed that Murakuchi Saburo must have investigated the Military Control Commission, or had made some transactions with it.

"I know a little bit about it. I have a classmate who is the head of the Special High Section in Shanghai. They have a lot of dealings with the Military Control Commission.

When communicating with classmates, he always talked about work, many of which were related to the Military Control Commission.

So I also know some intelligence about the Military Control Commission."

Saburo Murakuchi did not hide anything and directly stated the source of his intelligence about the Military Control Commission.

"That's right, I didn't expect that Murakuchi-kun had classmates in Shencheng, and they were in the Shencheng Special High Section... Shencheng is a prosperous city... When the troops attacked Shencheng, I was also in one of the attacking troops.

Prosperous, wealthy..."

After hearing what Murakuchi Saburo said about the source of the information, Kuroyama Kumamoto was shocked again.

He originally thought that Murakuchi Saburo's network of relationships was limited to the military, but he didn't expect that he had such connections in the intelligence system.

The head of Shencheng’s Special High Section…Although this position is not very high, the power is very great.

"Muraguchi-kun, the Military Control Commission does have an army in the south...but I got reliable information from the Military Control Commission personnel in North China.

In order to restrict the development of the Eighth Route Army, the Military Control Commission planned to form an army in North China.

And this army is called the North China Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

The Military Control Commission's North China Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had been established for some time.

It’s just that the Military Control Commission kept the intelligence of this army confidential, and this army has not officially appeared and has not carried out any combat missions.

Therefore, our Imperial Army currently has no intelligence on this matter... Perhaps the Special High Section in North China has collected relevant intelligence but has not taken it seriously.

After I contacted the Military Intelligence Bureau, I promised them that I would hand over the county seat of Ping'an County to them.

In Ping'an County, the Military Control Commission's North China Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army fought its first battle.

The Military Control Commission planned to use the county seat of Ping'an to make the North China Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army appear in everyone's sight.

At the same time, after taking over the county seat of Ping'an County, they used the county seat of Ping'an County to blockade the Eighth Route Army in Fu'an County, and at the same time blocked the communication between the Eighth Route Army troops in Wutai Mountain, Yi Zhong and other places and the Eighth Route Army in South Taihang.

My plan was to pretend to agree to the Military Control Commission and agree to let the Military Control Commission send the North China Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army into the county seat of Ping'an County.

Once the North China Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which had just been formed by the Military Control Commission, entered the county seat of Ping'an County, or gathered in the Ping'an County area, I would mobilize troops to wipe them out.

At the same time, the Imperial Army troops in Ping'an County, which were connected with the Military Control Commission and had been completely controlled by the Military Control Commission, were eliminated.

Originally, everything went smoothly according to plan.

Although under normal circumstances the military merits of this plan would not be enough for me to become a colonel directly, after all, I have no backing and no one nominates me, so I cannot be promoted.

But now it’s different, my name has been included in the promotion list.

The Imperial Army has just suffered a major defeat, and at this time, I have suddenly gained such great military merit. I am sure that my name will definitely be noticed by my superiors.

During the promotion assessment phase in Taiyuan, no one can command troops to fight and gain military merit during this period.

And I obtained this military merit before the assessment. I think, based on this military merit, it should not be a big problem for me to become a colonel, right?
After all, when Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu came to the First Army as commander, the first thing he should have done was to screen out capable people to serve as officers, rather than considering people with backgrounds first.

Perhaps those who have backgrounds and backers also have abilities, but they do not have military merits. And I, Kuroyama Kumamoto, happen to have military merits that are dazzling enough in this downturn.

I think, based on this military achievement, Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu will definitely notice me.

My original plan was just to use this military achievement to gain some other benefits.

But now, because I am going to be promoted, I cannot give this military merit to others and I have to use it myself.

After I received the transfer order, I originally planned to sell this military merit to the commander of the Zhangzhuang stronghold, or to Shuiquan.

After all, if I don’t handle this matter properly after I’m transferred, then my military merit will become a fault, so I must deal with it.

But now it’s different. I need this military merit, so I can’t possibly sell it again.

I must get this military merit. But to get this military merit, I need troops.

Now the garrison battalion in Ping'an County is under the command of Qingquan-kun and Murakuchi-kun, and I cannot mobilize them.

So now I can only ask Qingquan and Murakuchi to help me get this military merit."

After Kurosan Kumamoto finished speaking, Murakuchi Saburo immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Mr. Heishan, when is the time frame for your plan? When did you originally plan to carry it out?

Also, how do you want Qingquan and I to help you?
The most important thing is, how much benefit can Qingquan and I get by helping you?

Mr. Kurosan, I hope you won't try to fool me and Mr. Qingquan with words like you will help us when you become a colonel.

We are all from Osaka, and Qingquan-kun and I will only take action after we are sure that we can gain benefits.

If there is no definite benefit, then Mr. Heishan, I'm sorry, Mr. Qingquan and I can't help you this time.

After all, the price you offered before was not suitable... Qingquan-kun and I do not need the protection of a colonel. Qingquan-jun is a lieutenant colonel and I am a major. If I want, I can become a lieutenant colonel at any time.

According to regulations, a lieutenant colonel can serve as the commander of a garrison force in a place.

Although we Osaka people suffered some targeting in the North China Front Army, it was still easy for Qingquan and I to live comfortably.

After all, there were many colonels in the North China Front Army, and many of my classmates were also there.

If all else fails, we can apply to send troops to the south.

Therefore, I hope that Kumamoto will give us some practical items.”

Murakuchi Saburo looked at Kurosan Kumamoto and stated all his demands.

Although Saburo Murakuchi felt that there was something wrong with the plan that Kuroyama Kumamoto mentioned, and it felt a bit strange, he even vaguely realized that Kuroyama Kumamoto's plan might not be what Kuroyama Kumamoto said.

However, Murakuchi Saburo still did not make any strange expression on his face, and he completely followed the attitude that Kurosan Kumamoto said.

On the one hand, he asked about the details of Kuroyama Kumamoto's plan, and on the other hand, he quoted a price and asked Kuroyama Kumamoto to pay enough benefits to him and Kiyomizu Muichi.

In short, she tried her best to prevent Kuroiyama Kumamoto from having any suspicion about herself and Kiyozumi Kiichi, so as not to interfere with the plans that Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyozumi Kiichi had prepared for Kuroiyama Kumamoto.

When Kuroyama Kumamoto saw that Murakuchi Saburo said that the benefits he gave were not enough, he asked him to continue paying enough benefits to Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyozumi Kiichi.

Regarding this matter, Kuroyama Kumamoto only felt a little bit of pity in his heart, and did not say anything like he was annoyed because Murakuchi Saburo asked him to give more benefits.

Because in Heishan Kumamoto's mind, it was normal for Murakuchi Saburo to make such a request.

Although Kuroyama Kumamoto is not smart, he knows that all the things he wrote before were blank checks, and the possibility that Murakuchi Saburo will agree is very small.

Just as Saburo Murakuchi said, it's not like he doesn't have a classmate called Daizo.

The promise he made to help Murakuchi Saburo and others after he became a colonel was not attractive to Murakuchi Saburo at all.

Instead of trying hard to help yourself become a colonel and then waiting for possible help, it would be faster to directly mobilize your own connections to find your classmates.

There was absolutely no need for Saburo Murakuchi to help himself become a colonel.

As for Qingquan Muyi, Qingquan Muyi is himself a lieutenant colonel, and the help that I, a colonel, can give to Qingquan Muyi is very limited.

As for things like deputy wing commander, that was not something that Kuroshima Kumamoto could decide.

Moreover, life as a deputy commander of a regiment is not as comfortable as being a commander of a garrison force somewhere.

If Murakuchi Saburo didn't ask for anything and just agreed directly, Kuroyama Kumamoto would find it a little strange.

And now, Murakuchi Saburo not only asked about the details of his plan, but also demanded more benefits from him.

It was obvious that Murakuchi Saburo was going to agree to cooperate with his plan, but the prerequisite was that he could offer benefits that would satisfy Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyozumi Kiichi.

And this is actually nothing for Kuroyama Kumamoto.

Kuroyama Kumamoto believed that both Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyozumi Kiichi were from Osaka and that both of them did not like power.

So as long as you can pay enough money, it will be fine.

But Kumamoto thought he still had some money in his hands.

He resold so many military supplies in Ping'an County, plus the military funds of the Imperial Army, Heishan Kumamoto thought that this money could still satisfy the appetites of Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyozumi Kiichi.

And as long as he becomes a colonel, he will be able to earn back all the money sooner or later.

“Even if the money demanded by Murakuchi Saburo and Qingquan Muyi exceeds the amount of money I have… but there are other people with money in Ping’an County… I am not the only one reselling supplies!
Anyway, the Military Control Commission has been sold out, so the remaining Imperial Army, the chairman of the Maintenance Association, and those smugglers...all have to be captured!
At that time, the money earned from reselling materials was divided into 40% and 60%. I only took 40%. Add to that the agency fees those people earned from smuggling materials themselves. The money they had in their hands must be more than mine!"

Considering that if Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyozumi Kiichi asked for too much, the money he had might not be enough, Kuroyama Kumamoto made a decision directly.

Once the plan was launched, the military police were directly arranged to raid the homes of all the officers of the Imperial Army and traitors such as the president of the Maintenance Association in Ping'an County.

Anyway, one of the plans was for officers of the Imperial Army to collude with the Military Control Commission in an attempt to rebel.

It would also be normal to have a few more articles about the chairman of the maintenance association being in contact with the Military Control Commission.

All the wealthy businessmen and traitors in Ping'an County were directly confiscated.

By then, Heishan Kumamoto might not even need to spend any money himself, but could even make some money.

Thinking of this, Kuroyama Kumamoto was in a good mood and spoke directly to Murakuchi Saburo.

“Muraguchi-kun, we’ll talk about the benefits later.

I will first tell Mr. Murakuchi some details of my plan.

Please rest assured, Murakuchi-kun, I will definitely pay a price that will satisfy both Murakuchi-kun and Qingquan-kun."

Listening to what Kurosan Kumamoto said, Murakuchi Saburo nodded and spoke.

“No problem, Mr. Heishan, tell me your plan.

Tell us your plan first, and then we can discuss how much Qingquan and I need."
