Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Zhou Zhengqing thought he must have seen it wrong and had an illusion.

The news that Reiko brought from the family must have been the most secretive one, which was definitely beyond Doihara's expectations and might have caused some abnormal behavior.

Many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. The transfer of Doihara and Naoki Daiki was due to the incident caused by the Harbin Gendarmerie. But how could the two lieutenant generals be transferred just because of the deaths of a few Chinese people who defected to the group?

The real reason why Doihara, the intelligence chief, was transferred was that he was suicidal against the empire's plan to imitate Manchukuo and split China and establish multiple independent regimes after occupying other parts of China.

Zhou Zhengqing is a time traveler. Although this world is a fictional one, he understands that no matter which spy war drama it is, the direction of history is not much different.

Then Japan would not give up on splitting China, and Doihara's opposition was tantamount to standing in opposition to the empire's top decision-making.

The family also analyzed the reason why Doihara did this, which was because he was not satisfied with being a lieutenant general and wanted to go further.

Compared with establishing another regime similar to Manchukuo, directly incorporating the occupied territories into the empire would bring greater merit.

As long as he could win the bet again, the credit would be enough to push him to the rank of general.

That's why he ran around, promoting his ideas everywhere, trying to get the top leaders to give up the decision to establish other regimes. And because of this, he offended many people, and directly lost his position as the head of intelligence, and was temporarily sent to the front-line troops to clear his mind.

"Those senior officials don't understand China at all! They are too short-sighted! They are afraid of the reaction of Europe and the United States!" Doihara put his hands on the table, stood up, his eyes bloodshot, and said with gritted teeth.

He no longer dared to regard Zhou Zhengqing as a young man. A nobleman is a nobleman. He can even talk about such a secret matter casually.

He could also hear the mockery of himself in Zhou Zhengqing's tone, which made him lose his mind a little.

Just as Zhou Zhengqing said, he really wanted to suggest to the top leaders that the Chinese territory occupied in the future should be directly absorbed into Japan's territory.

No longer playing superficial games, and establishing a pseudo-regime like Manchukuo.

As long as he could convince the higher-ups, the larger the territory he occupied, the more credit he would receive as the person who first proposed the suggestion!

It’s a pity that not only did the top management not adopt his suggestions, they also transferred him away from intelligence work!

Faced with Doihara's outburst, Zhou Zhengqing did not respond, but just looked at him with a sneer.

At the same time, I had an illusion in my mind again. I always felt that Doihara showed an indescribable feeling, but I must have come into contact with it or felt it.

This feeling...

Zhou Zhengqing tried desperately to find the source of that feeling, but he couldn't find it in his mind.

Gradually, Doihara began to calm down and sat back.

The office fell into a brief silence.

After a long while, Doihara suddenly laughed, looked at Zhou Zhengqing and said, "Haha, Master Yingqi, how come we are talking about the empire's affairs all of a sudden? My ideas are not accepted by the top leaders at all, and it is meaningless to talk about it now.

Shouldn't we talk more about the police department and Gao Bin's affairs?"

Zhou Zhengqing also laughed and said meaningfully: "How is it meaningless? What I want to say is that although I don't agree with your idea, I still agree with a small part of your idea."

"What?" Doihara asked in surprise. He didn't expect that Zhou Zhengqing would actually agree with him, even if it was only a small part.

Zhou Zhengqing pursed his lips and said in a cynical manner: "It is indeed outdated to play superficial tricks like the Manchukuo."

"Huh? What do you mean? What does this have to do with the police department?"

"General, the Police Department has always said that they are an agency belonging to the Manchurian government. So, can you expect a foreign agency full of foreigners to work for the empire with peace of mind? Do you think that controlling the top leaders can make these lower-level people identify with the empire?" Zhou Zhengqing asked back.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Zhou Zhengqing looked at Doihara's puzzled expression and began to rejoice in his heart, as he had finally gotten to the key point.

Shaking off the vague illusion about Doihara in his mind, he wanted to concentrate on fooling, no, convincing the other party.

And he had to tell Doihara some heartfelt things.

I hope that after spending the whole night thinking about this trick, I can make this old guy trust me temporarily and help me do something!

"I've been thinking about one thing. Since some things are no longer reliable, wouldn't it be better to rebuild something that I can directly control in my hands?"

"You want to rebuild a police department? That's impossible. The Manchukuo Police Department will not agree to it, and those officials will not agree to it! The police department has a vested interest in them, and they will not agree to you doing this."

Zhou Zhengqing raised his hand, made a gesture that Doihara couldn't understand, and waved his middle finger.

“No, no, no, I don’t want to rebuild a police department for the Manchurian government. After all, it’s not the empire that pays the salaries, so how can I win the hearts of the people?

General, there is a very reasonable saying in China: If you hold someone else's bowl, you have to look at their face; if you eat someone else's food, you have to be controlled by them. "

Seeing that Doihara was lost in thought, Zhou Zhengqing continued, "If the general doesn't understand, then I'll put it more bluntly. If you eat someone's salary, you must be loyal to him. If you receive money from someone, you must help him get rid of disasters. Do you understand now?"

Doihara raised his head and said, "Are you saying that the finances of the National Police Agency are controlled by the Manchukuo government, so their loyalty to the Empire is discounted? But the financial power of Manchukuo is in the hands of the Empire? What's the difference!"

Zhou Zhengqing sneered: "General, you still claim to be an expert on China, but don't you know that Chinese people only see what is in front of them? They don't care where the money comes from, they only care who pays them."

"Uh! What exactly do you want to say? Directly give money to the Chinese to win them over?" Doihara asked back with a frown.

Zhou Zhengqing raised his middle finger again and waved it at Doihara, then said, "I have a group of defectors in my hands. I plan to bring them under the management of our gendarmerie and not let them belong to the Manchurian government. Do you understand now?"

"A defector?" Doihara blinked.

"Yes, a defector. And I have already helped him get an identity. He will form a new law enforcement department with the wandering warriors of the empire. They will be a supplementary force for our military police. When the time is right, I will make them independent.

"Using Chinese people to govern Chinese people, didn't you agree with this theory before? I just implemented this theory more thoroughly, bypassing the Manchurian government in the middle!"

Doihara came to his senses after hearing this, but still said disdainfully: "What's the difference between that and the Manchukuo I established before? Didn't they also use defectors to manage the Chinese?"

"There is one difference. They are directly under the jurisdiction of the Empire and our Military Police. They have nothing to do with Manchukuo. The sense of identity is different. Do you understand?"

"Agree?"

"It seems that your knowledge of China is just so-so. Don't you understand this? Let me give you an example." Zhou Zhengqing showed a meaningful expression as he spoke, as if he thought of a certain "emperor emeritus". What a joke!

"What if, I mean what if, our Great Japanese Empire is now a puppet regime controlled by a certain European or American country.

So, as a lieutenant general, do you identify yourself more as a person from a certain European or American country, or do you still identify yourself as a person from the Empire?"

Doihara immediately shouted excitedly: "This is impossible. No matter what time, I am absolutely loyal to the Empire!"

Zhou Zhengqing looked even more strange, and then he said quietly: "If you were not a lieutenant general of the empire, but held a position in Europe and America, and were directly managed by a certain country in Europe and America, including your food, clothing, housing and transportation, they would have nothing to do with the empire.

Then tell me, do you have more ideas? "
