Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

By early July, the Japanese finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

First they caused trouble at Lugou Bridge, and then they bombarded Wanping City.

The atmosphere in Peking suddenly became tense, and many families bought pickles and stored food.

Rice shops and noodle shops raise their prices every day.

All kinds of news were spreading like wildfire in the city. Today it was said that the 29th Army had suffered a defeat, and tomorrow it was said that there was hope for peace talks. The war was over in two days.

Lin Ze is still dedicated to his job. He goes to the patrol station to work as usual every day and takes a stroll on the street from time to time. This makes the people in the patrol station's jurisdiction feel much more at ease.

But a few days later, the Chairman made a speech, and it seemed that a war was about to break out.

No one knew what General Song was thinking, but he was still negotiating with the Japanese and even removed the sandbags at the city gate, fully demonstrating his sincerity.

But the Japanese don't seem to appreciate it.

In mid-to-late July, a group of Japanese soldiers stationed in Fengtai came to Guang'anmen, claiming that they wanted to visit the Forbidden City and asked the garrison to open the gates.

The person guarding the gate was a regimental commander of the 29th Army named Liu. When he heard this, he was shocked.

Unexpectedly, the higher-ups actually got accurate intelligence that the Japanese were really going to launch a surprise attack on Guang'anmen!

At that time he agreed to let the Japanese soldiers in, and the devils were naturally overjoyed. But as soon as they entered Guang'anmen, they found that the city gate was closed and they were trapped in the city wall.

Then the soldiers on the city wall fired their bullets at the same time, killing or wounding them all.

When the news spread, the people of Peking were all cheering. The taverns in the city were doing booming business. It was said that both white wine and yellow wine were sold out. People with happy faces and drunken looks could be seen everywhere on the streets.

However, this victory did not change the overall situation.

At the end of the month, the Japanese attacked Nanyuan, and two important generals of the 29th Army were killed in the battle. General Song ordered a retreat to the south.

Peking fell.

A day later, Tianjin fell.

Dongbianmen Station Patrol Post.

No one had the intention to patrol the streets anymore.

They gathered in the patrol station, some smoking, some talking in low voices.

In Lin Ze's office upstairs, Wang Xiaoshou was making tea while looking at Lin Ze, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Lin Ze said, "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to fart, just fart. Why are you looking so shifty?"

Wang Xiaoshou couldn't smile at all, and said with a sad face: "Patrolman, you said, the Japanese are coming, we..."

Lin Ze said: "We should still do what we should do. We should patrol the streets and collect the fees. So what if the Japanese come? Do they not have to maintain order on the streets?"

Just as he was saying this, someone from the Third District Police Station called and asked Lin Ze to come to the police station for a meeting.

When I arrived at the police station and saw that people from various patrol stations had arrived, I knew that there was something to be announced.

Sure enough, Gao Shengping announced several things happily.

"The Japanese army came here for goodwill. Now, they have issued a document to retain all of us. At this time of great change, you patrol officers should be more loyal to your duties. The governance committee has been established. Not only will there be no war in the future, but everyone can live a peaceful life!"

"After you go back, you must call on all businesses in the area to open as normal and not close! As for the common people, they should continue to live their lives as normal. Don't let them speculate and worry. The imperial army is not some mountain spirit or ghost. They will not eat people!"

"Third, you must pay close attention to whether there are bad elements who oppose friendship in your area, especially students. If you find anyone distributing leaflets, giving speeches, or even plotting sabotage, arrest them immediately without favoritism! The Imperial Army has set up a military police corps. When you catch someone, send them over directly. The higher-ups will reward you greatly!"

Gao Shengping was really happy.

As soon as the Japanese entered the city, they immediately set up a governance committee and appointed a new head of the Beijing Police Department.

The new person in charge, Yu Jinhe, was a complete traitor, but Gao Shengping didn't care about that. He contacted Commander Yu as soon as possible and even used several large yellow croakers for this purpose.

Chief Yu was indeed very happy and encouraged Gao Shengping to work hard. Now was the time to recruit people. As long as Gao Shengping performed well, it would be legitimate for him to work as an official in the department in the future.

As soon as Peking fell, these people were promoted or became rich.

As for how ordinary people live their lives, they don’t care. Even if you are caught and used as a living experiment subject, you can only say that you are unlucky!

In comparison, those people of noble character and lofty ideals who died in the hunt and suppression are even less worthy of mention in their eyes.

After the meeting, Lin Ze exchanged a few words with everyone. Although he was angry in his heart, he had to pretend that he didn't care on the surface.

When I got back to the patrol station, I informed everyone about this matter.

Everyone was a little happy and a little sad.

I was happy that I was retained and would receive my monthly salary, which would allow me to provide for the food and drink of my family. But I was sad that I would have to live under the rule of the Japanese in the future, which was not a pleasant experience.

These people are not very educated and do not quite understand the big principles discussed in books and newspapers. They just think that they are living a peaceful life, so why would they suffer such a disaster?

Two other people submitted their resignations to Lin Ze, fearing that they would be criticized for working for the Japanese. Lin Ze approved their resignations and gave them severance pay, so that they could part ways amicably.

Then Wang Xiaoshou was asked to fill in the vacancy, start working first and then complete the formalities. When he returned to the sub-district police station and got his seal, he became a formal patrolman!

Then everyone took action, holding gongs and going to the streets, demanding that all businesses open their doors and not disobey.

Some shop owners were too timid to open for business, so Lin Ze had to step in personally, using both coaxing and scolding to get everyone to open for business.

Lin Ze even went to the two hotels to check the guest lists in person. While smoking, he said arrogantly, "Keep your eyes open. If there really is a bad guy staying at your place and I find out, you won't have enough heads to chop off even if you have ten!"

[Ding! Threaten the owner of the business place, reward: Coke*5]

While I was trying to scare the innkeeper, I suddenly heard a commotion outside.

I saw a drunk vagrant from a Japanese trading company harassing a woman on the street.

The woman was carrying a basket and looked like she was out shopping. People on both sides of the street were standing and watching her, not daring to come forward.

A month ago, people were in a rebellious mood. Not only were there Japanese in the city looking for trouble, even if they stayed put, there were still many people looking for trouble.

Now that our troops have withdrawn and their opponents' troops have entered the city, the situation has reversed.

These days, many Japanese devils have been swaggering on the streets, showing off their power and acting tyrannically.

Lin Ze took a quick look and saw that the man was not dressed well, looked malnourished, and reeked of alcohol. It was obvious that he was a low-level security guard hired by a business.

He walked up to the Japanese ronin, swung his arm and slapped him twice, cursing in Japanese: "Asshole!"
