Spy Wars: I have space, but I choose to work alone

After a brief panic, it was unclear whether Wang Tianbao's bandit genes had taken effect or he was born a bad guy.

In one hand he held the flower-mouthed rascal given by Wang Batian, and in the other he wielded a whip, whipping the slaves who slowed down their pace noticeably when they saw that he was a child.

"Move now, you're pretending to be dead, huh?"

Listening to Wang Tianbao's cursing and the sound of the whip hitting the human body, Wang Batian nodded with satisfaction.

After all, it’s my own seed!

But he was still worried and told the bandit Lao Qi beside him:

"You stay outside with the young master tonight. If he gets a scratch, I'll light a sky lantern on you."

The seventh brother was so scared that he swore that he would always be careful and make sure that not a single hair of the young master would be harmed.

At this time, military advisor Chen Duyan came over and whispered to Wang Batian:

"Boss, the banquet is ready. Mr. Inukai has been waiting for a long time. What do you think?"

"This Japanese is really weird. Inugami, Inugami, doesn't it mean son of a bitch? How can someone have this last name?"

"Boss, this?"

Wang Batian, in a good mood, was actually curious about Xiao Zirou's strange surnames, but they were all ignorant bandits in the mountains, and the two couldn't tell a single thing for a while.

While chatting, Wang Batian had already come to the Juyi Hall with his men, laughing.

At this time, all the leaders of Black Wind Mountain, as well as the Japanese special envoy Inukai Ichiro, and his deputy, Kameda Taro were already waiting in the hall.

After Wang Batian sat down, he glanced at the gathering hall and saw that one of the Eight Vajra on his side was missing, and he couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied.

"Where's Lao Ba? Why isn't Lao Ba here?"

Chen Duyan looked at the scene, then came to Wang Batian's ear and said:

"Boss, the Eighth Boss went to those villages to collect grain according to your order. Maybe he encountered something and was delayed?"

"Bullshit, what else can happen within a hundred miles of Black Wind Mountain?"

"I think the damned Old Ba must have gone to some half-closed door to have some fun."

"Ha ha ha ha···"

The bandits all laughed ambiguously. There were usually few women in a bandit's lair.

One reason was to prevent infighting among bandits over women, and the other was that women generally could not survive for long in a bandit's lair.

Unless a woman is favored by the bandit leader and becomes his wife, she can live longer.

Therefore, when the bandits came down the mountain, they would go to brothels whenever they had the chance. Many famous bandits were caught in brothels, but later comers would still continue to go there.

Wang Batian and a group of bandit leaders did not take seriously the fact that the eighth leader Li Heihu was out and had not returned. They just laughed and scolded him, saying that they would come back to deal with Li Heihu.

Only the new third in command, Chen Zhiyi, a former Kuomintang officer, did not smile, and his brows were furrowed.

"They are bandits after all. Even after military training, they are still bandits and cannot be shown in public."

After laughing for a while, Wang Batian seemed to remember Inukai and Kameda, and said to them while holding his wine glass:

"That lets welcome Mr. Inukai and his lieutenant Mr. Kameda."

"Pfft!"

"what!"

Hearing these two strange surnames, these uneducated bandit leaders almost laughed out loud. If Wang Batian hadn't given his men a cold look, they would have laughed out loud on the spot.

Inukai Ichiro did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he stood up with great tolerance and said with a smile:

"Masters, laugh if you want! After all, our last names are somewhat amusing in your culture, so it's nothing to worry about."

After these words were spoken, the bandit leader, who had wanted to continue laughing, was no longer in the mood and looked at the two little dwarfs in front of him with a cautious look.

A bandit who can fight his way up from the bottom and become a bandit leader.

They may be less educated, but they are all smart, cunning and vicious people.

How can an ordinary person remain calm and polite when being laughed at in public?

"He's a character!"

Even Ma Liang, who had been eavesdropping, had to sigh that it took a great deal of effort to say that the man must be an extraordinary person to be so patient when the Japanese army was advancing triumphantly and winning victory after victory on the battlefield.

"But it's even more damnable!"

After expressing his feelings, Ma Liang added another sentence.

Wang Batian also raised his glass and said:

"From today on, anyone who makes fun of Mr. Inukai's name will be punished by me, Blackheart Tiger."

The scene suddenly became solemn.

Military advisor Chen Duyan also wisely changed the topic to one that everyone was interested in.

"Mr. Inukai, I wonder how your army plans to arrange for us after our Black Wind Mountain accepts the amnesty?"

As expected, since it was related to their own interests, all the bandit leaders looked at Inukai Ichiro with anticipation.

"Of course, as long as your army is willing to accept the imperial army's recruitment, all the people in Black Wind Mountain will be organized into an independent battalion of the Nanyuan County Guard. The chief will be the major battalion commander, and the rest of the chiefs will be lieutenants. All military supplies and food will be borne by the Locust Army."

"battalion commander?"

Hearing this, Wang Batian didn't say anything, but just held the wine glass as if he was studying the wine.

The bandit leaders, who had all gone into the mountains together and had experienced hunger, knew what their boss meant. It was obvious that he despised the low-ranking official!

Military strategist Chen Duyan was the first to stand up and object:

"Given my elder brother's reputation as a black-hearted tiger, isn't it a bit too low to just give him the title of battalion commander?"

The other bandit leaders also started to make a noise:

"With my eldest brother's reputation, he must be at least a division commander!"

"Bah! It wouldn't be too much to give him a military commander!"

·······

Seeing that the talk was getting more and more outrageous, even Inukai Ichiro, who had a good temper, became a little dissatisfied.

At this time, the Japanese army was winning victory after victory. It was far from being stuck in a stalemate in the middle and late stages. There was a great demand for puppet troops, and high military ranks such as regimental commander or division commander were given to one or two hundred people.

Some people inside have already laughed at Inukai Ichiro's unnecessary actions. In the spirit of not wanting to fail, Inukai Ichiro still explained:

"Your stronghold only has a little over a hundred people, just a company-level organization. I have already asked my superiors to give us a battalion-level organization. Look, the gift I brought is just a hundred Type 79 rifles, 20,000 rounds of ammunition, and 20,000 dollars."

"Hahaha····"

After hearing Inukai Ichiro's explanation, the bandit leaders looked at each other and laughed, which made Inukai Ichiro feel a little embarrassed and he thought he had said something wrong.

Military Advisor Chen Duyan saw that Inukai Ichiro was a little confused, so he took the initiative to explain:

"It turns out that Mr. Inukai appoints officials based on the number of people!"

"Don't underestimate us because we only have a hundred people in our village. We are all veterans who have seen blood, have powerful weapons in our hands, and are willing to fight to the death."

"If it weren't for the fact that we were preparing for an encirclement by the government troops, and that the mountains couldn't support so many people, I think that given Big Brother Black Heart Tiger's reputation in the surrounding areas of Nanyuan County, he could have at least gathered a thousand troops with just one order."
