Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Ten minutes later.

Harada, who was standing on a small mound about seven or eight meters high, put down the telescope with a dazed look on his face, turned his head to look at Taniguchi Mayu, who was standing next to him and also watching the battle in the distance with a telescope, and asked in surprise: "Is the fighting starting already?"

Taniguchi Mayu heard what Harada said but did not put down the telescope: "It seems that the intelligence our military police received was correct! There is indeed a group of Togo troops outside the city. I think they must have received the news that the military police are attacking and rushed back to reinforce."

Harada picked up the telescope again speechlessly, muttering, "This is too careless. Why didn't they come back to ask for instructions before they just went straight into battle!"

"Who said it wasn't? I've explained it clearly, so why are they still so impulsive?" Taniguchi Mayu said in agreement.

Just his words made Harada recall the scene when he had just led his men out of the city. . . .

When Harada arrived outside the city with two security regiments, Taniguchi Mayu had been waiting there for a long time with dozens of military police.

Taniguchi Mayu received a call from Zhou Zhengqing and came here specifically to wait for the security team.

After the meeting, Taniguchi Mayu greeted the two security team leaders with great enthusiasm. Harada, who was watching from the side, was surprised that this second lieutenant of the gendarmerie was so polite.

There were two security team leaders. One was surnamed Niu, a tall, thin man with a horse face. The other was surnamed Lin, a slightly fat man with a bald head.

Both security groups have a staff of 1,300 people. Only the security groups themselves know whether there are exactly that many people.

Both regimental commanders hold the rank of colonel.

Although in theory it was equivalent to the rank of colonel in the Japanese army, the reality was that the backbones of the two colonel commanders of the security corps had been broken when they defected to Japan.

When meeting ordinary Japanese soldiers, he could still stand up straight to show off his status, but when facing a Japanese officer, even a second lieutenant like Taniguchi Mayu, he dared not speak loudly.

"Captain Niu, Captain Lin, Commander Harada should have already told you the reason why we called you here, which is to prevent the Second Division from entering Harbin."

As soon as they met, Taniguchi Mayu went straight to the point.

Hearing this, the head of the regiment surnamed Niu said with a droopy face: "Mr. Military Police, we are just a security regiment. How can we stop the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan? We...we..."

"Yes, if the Lord Commander asks us to deal with the anti-Japanese elements, my men and I will have no problem at all. But if we want to fight against the Imperial Army, we really can't do it." Captain Lin also chimed in.

They were reluctant to come at first, but they dared not disobey Harada's order, so they had to bring the team over to take a look. They were ready to just make a presence and come over to make up the numbers.

"Is that so?" Taniguchi Mayu pretended to think for a moment, and then under Harada's puzzled gaze, he slowly said: "We in the military police don't like to force others to do things. Since you don't want to, forget it."

After Taniguchi Mayu finished speaking, the two security team leaders showed surprised expressions.

Are the military police so easy to talk to? When did they change their temper? Last time they shot our soldiers, they didn't even blink!

Captain Lin asked cautiously, "Then, Madam Tai, shall we go back?"

"Yes, you can go now. With so many of you coming here to share the money, my subordinates are having some complaints." Taniguchi Mayu said with a smile.

"Share the money? What money? Is there money to be gained from blocking the Second Division?" Commander Lin perked up and asked quickly, while Commander Niu also pricked up his ears.

“No, no, no, you misunderstood. How can there be a bonus for stopping the Second Division?

When I say share the money, I mean helping our military police to deal with those who dare to betray the empire." Taniguchi Mayu explained with a smile.

When Harada heard this, he immediately understood who Taniguchi Mayu was talking about as the traitor to the empire! Who else could it be other than the Togo troops!

He was about to remind Taniguchi Mayu that it was inappropriate to define the Togo troops as traitors to the empire now, but when he thought of what Zhou Zhengqing said before, he hesitated again.

If what Zhou Zhengqing said to Asano Daigo was true, wouldn't that be a betrayal of the empire? He had already poisoned the Kwantung Army, so no matter what the purpose was, it was an act of treason.

"Where are they? Where are those rebels? My security team has the obligation to help the gendarmerie wipe out the rebels. Sir, please tell me where the rebels are and I will take people there to wipe them out right now!" Captain Niu pushed Captain Lin aside and patted his chest to make a promise.

Taniguchi Mayu looked at the two excited captains with a smile, thinking to himself, as expected, whether it is the people of the Empire or the Chinese, using money to pave the way is always right.

"You two, aren't you unwilling to help our gendarmerie?" Taniguchi Mayu asked in pretended confusion.

"General, we just don't want to provoke the imperial army. When it comes to dealing with the rebels, we will not be vague!" Captain Niu licked his horse face and forced a flattering smile.

Harada said coldly at this time: "But the rebels that Lieutenant Taniguchi mentioned are also the army of our Great Japanese Empire, Lieutenant Colonel Shiro Ishii's Togo troops. The battle over in Pingfang District is fierce. I believe you also know something about it."

Harada's words froze the excited expressions on Captain Niu and Captain Lin's faces.

"Yes, it's the Togo troops. I got the news that one of their teams is carrying out a special mission outside the city and will soon return to Harbin for support. So our mission is not only to stop the Second Division, but also to ambush the Togo troops who are about to return to the city." Taniguchi Mayu explained.

“This…this!”

When the two security team leaders heard this, they began to hesitate again. On the one hand, there was the temptation of money, and on the other hand, there was the long-standing fear of the Japanese, which put them in a dilemma.

At this time, Taniguchi Mayu slowly said: "Our military police intend to give a huge reward to those who help us, 100 yen for killing a soldier!"

"What, what, what! One hundred yen!!" Captain Lin was so surprised that he couldn't even speak clearly. Obviously, one hundred yen was not a small amount of money for them.

The military pay they received was not much. Even though they often took some protection money from the people, it was not much.

"Do it! I'll do it! Sir, it doesn't matter whether we help or not. Contributing to the Empire of Japan is what we should do!" When Captain Niu heard the reward of 100 yen per person, he immediately threw away all his concerns and loudly expressed his determination to help.

"Master, just give your orders. My brothers and I will listen to you!" Captain Lin also reacted and expressed his willingness to help.

"Yoshi, very good! Hahaha." Taniguchi Mayu laughed and stepped forward to pat the two men on the shoulders: "You two are worthy of being the best friends of our Great Japanese Empire. Don't worry, our military police will never treat you two captains unfairly, hahaha."

"It is our honor to work for the gendarmerie," said Captain Niu.

Harada beside him asked worriedly: "Second Lieutenant Taniguchi, is your information accurate? The Second Division will soon arrive in Harbin, don't make the mistake of targeting."
