Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police
Chapter 361: Ways to Establish Authority
After hearing this, Zhou Zhengqing suddenly laughed: "Haha, General Shibuya, you are such a joker. If you give me compensation, you should come and hold me accountable.
I was shot, and none of the Chinese officials from Manchukuo came to visit me. But now, just because I captured an insignificant person like Guan Xue, they came running over immediately!
Why? In their hearts, I, a Japanese noble, am not as good as Guan Xue, right? "
"Master Yingqi, please don't misunderstand me. I believe they don't..."
"Okay, stop talking. General Shibuya, do you remember the first time we met?" Zhou Zhengqing interrupted Saburo Shibuya and asked.
"Of course I remember. I came to mediate the conflict between the gendarmerie and the National Police Agency." Saburo Shibuya nodded.
"Then do you still remember what I said to Colonel Asano at that time?" Zhou Zhengqing continued to ask.
Upon hearing this, Saburo Shibuya lowered his head in thought, obviously recalling something.
"General Shibuya, today I say the same thing to you. You are a general of the empire, so don't sit on the wrong side of the fence!
I don't know if you received any benefits to come here and say such words that are biased towards the Chinese people, but I can tell you clearly.
I hate every Chinese who goes against me, especially those who come over to us!
They can betray their country, and of course they can betray us at any time, so I will not show mercy! "
Zhou Zhengqing said this, but added in his heart: "I want to help China fight against Japan, so the only people who are against me are traitors, spies, and traitors. Of course, I will definitely not tell you my true thoughts, Shibuya Saburo."
Upon hearing this, Saburo Shibuya said bitterly, "Master Yingqi, I didn't receive any benefits, I just wanted to maintain the stability of Manchukuo.
You have to know that many of those Manchu officials are left over from the previous dynasty. If I don’t give them some face, my work will be hindered.”
"General!" Zhou Zhengqing suddenly raised his voice: "What does the Kwantung Army do? What is the purpose of the Empire sending you supervisory officials?
I didn't expect that after just a few years, you would dare to go along with the Chinese people just for work! I am so disappointed.
I will report this matter in detail to the cabinet, and let them see what you are doing! Can you still safeguard the interests of the empire! Can you protect the safety of the citizens of the empire in Manchuria!
Today we killed people from the gendarmerie, and you come to beg for mercy.
Next time they attack the imperial citizens in Manchuria, you will also have to protect them.
In this case, you might as well renounce your imperial citizenship and join Manchukuo directly! I propose that the cabinet sort you all out and replace you with people who have the interests of the empire in mind and come to Manchukuo!"
When Saburo Shibuya heard this, his face changed immediately. If the young master Takazaki in front of him really sent such a telegram, he would probably not wait until the next day before a telegram from home asking him to return to report on his work and accept investigation would be sent immediately.
At the same time, he was madly complaining about Zhou Zhengqing in his heart: "You speak so righteously, but everyone knows that the imperial citizens in Harbin hate your gendarmerie the most.
We patrol the streets every day and fine anyone we catch. The imperial citizens who used to act like bullies are now severely punished by your gendarmerie. Even if they complain a few more times, they might be thrown into prison to do hard labor!
Telegrams of complaints and grievances were sent to Xinjing like snowflakes!
Just two days ago, we received a complaint about a few ronin who had just come to Harbin from China. They just chopped down two Chinese people who were blocking their way, but your gendarmerie shot them directly on the street. Aren’t they citizens of the empire?
As a result, many people who came from the mainland now feel that they can’t stand the discipline and dare not come to Harbin, and turn to Xinjing and other cities.”
Although he was thinking all this in his mind, Saburo Shibuya didn't dare to say a word. Now the whole Manchukuo knew that the Harbin Gendarmerie only recognized the law and not the people, and everything they did was in accordance with the law.
Even the fines are within the prescribed range and there is no fault to be found.
So even though there were many complaints, no one dared to speak out and say anything. It would be useless even if they did. People just said they were following the rules. Can you really question the laws made by the empire?
And even if some of the things the gendarmerie did were a bit excessive, with Master Yingzaki around, who would dare to make comments?
"Master Takazaki, you really misunderstood me. I have absolutely no intention of being biased, but..." Saburo Shibuya felt bitter in his heart, but he still hurried to explain. He had to dissuade the man in front of him from sending a telegram to the country, otherwise he would be in trouble!
"General Shibuya, I was just speaking out of anger. I was a little angry because of your biased words just now! As long as you don't go too far, I won't complain about you, don't worry."
Zhou Zhengqing didn't really intend to complain, he just wanted to scare Shibuya Saburo and lay the foundation for the subsequent conversation.
"That's good, that's good." As he said this, Saburo Shibuya wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"General, I will definitely not let Guan Xue go. She is the culprit. I want to use her to establish my prestige and tell other people in Harbin with bad intentions that the gendarmerie is something they cannot afford to offend!" Zhou Zhengqing said with a serious expression.
Shibuya Saburo nodded helplessly. He didn't dare to plead for anything now. After thinking for a while, he asked carefully: "After Guan Xue is executed, can we let the people who came with me take her body away? After all, she is a noble of the previous dynasty. They don't want Guan Xue's body to be exposed in the wilderness after her death."
This was actually the result of discussions between Saburo Shibuya and the high-ranking Manchurian government officials who came with him on the way here. After all, no one dared to guarantee that they could really rescue the person from Zhou Zhengqing. They could only settle for the second best and hope to take Guan Xue's body away for burial.
"General, logically speaking, this request is not excessive, but unfortunately, I still cannot agree to your request." Zhou Zhengqing shook his head and said.
"Why?" Saburo Shibuya originally thought that taking Guan Xue's body away would be a simple matter, but he didn't expect that Zhou Zhengqing would not agree to it.
"It's like this, General Shibuya. I found that some people in Harbin don't take the majesty of the empire seriously, so I thought of a way to establish my authority," Zhou Zhengqing explained.
"What method?" Shibuya Saburo asked.
"I heard that in the 17th century, Britain liked to hang captured pirates at the port to warn other pirates. So, I also want to use the same method to hang Guan Xue on the flagpole in front of our gendarmerie. Why, didn't you see it when you came?"
"What!" After hearing this, Saburo Shibuya immediately stood up and walked to the window. He knew that the gendarmerie hospital was next door and he could see the entrance of the gendarmerie next door from the window.
Sure enough, at the top of the flagpole where the imperial flag should have been hung at the entrance of the gendarmerie, there were two people tied up.
At this time, not far from the flagpole, several Manchurian government officials who came to Harbin with him were gathered together and talking loudly. Fortunately, they did not dare to step forward to do anything, otherwise Shibuya Saburo was really afraid that they would have a conflict with the military police.
