Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Zhou Zhengqing called Itai Yuda over just to ask him about his real purpose in arresting students.

Although Zhou Zhengqing had guessed some of it when they were in the car before, he still wanted to hear it from Itai Yudai's own mouth.

The final result was exactly as Zhou Zhengqing had expected. Itai Yudai expressed his intention to use violent suppression and intimidation to stop students from provoking Japan by means of marches and demonstrations.

Tianjin will fall soon. If those students continue to march in the streets recklessly, what awaits them will probably be bloodshed, imprisonment and death.

Itai Yudai is a Japanese himself, and he understands how cruel the Japanese can be in dealing with dissidents.

Zhou Zhengqing remained silent about Itai Yudai's idea, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

It’s just that Itai Yudai’s current behavior has completely put himself on the opposite side of Japan…

However, when Zhou Zhengqing thought about the things that the Sakai family did privately, his scalp tingled. No wonder Itai Yudai became like this. He wondered how Itai Yudai's father and elder brother would feel when they knew that he had become so anti-Japanese.

Two days later, Zhou Zhengqing finally waited for a brigade of military police sent from the country.

Since then, two-thirds of the Royal Gendarmerie Regiment under Zhou Zhengqing's command have arrived. As for the remaining brigade of gendarmerie, they are also being urgently recruited in the country.

Perhaps because Zhou Zhengqing's reputation in Japan is already a household name, many young people want to join the gendarmerie and follow the flower of the gendarmerie in their hearts to China to make achievements.

Therefore, the recruitment of this last brigade of military police is proceeding quickly, and it is expected that they will be dispatched to China in half a month.

On that day, Zhou Zhengqing called a meeting of all his subordinates and announced a new round of personnel promotions and appointments to various positions.

This appointment was not a small matter like the one in Harbin. Zhou Zhengqing directly applied to the Emperor for the establishment of a military-level headquarters department.

In other words, the internal departmental positions of Zhou Zhengqing's gendarmerie headquarters were on par with those of the Kwantung Army.

As for why the Emperor and the military agreed to Zhou Zhengqing's outrageous statement, it was because Japan was on the verge of collapse at that time.

The Metropolitan Police Departments in various places suddenly took mad actions to suppress the demonstrators, and even the local defense forces and garrison troops participated.

Although the cabinet and the military took action to stop it immediately, the conflict had already occurred and a large number of people were arrested or injured, making the citizens who were already dissatisfied with the government even more violent and crazy.

The emperor was too concerned about his reputation to personally come out to appease the people.

In the end, they could only ask Zhou Zhengqing for help. Zhou Zhengqing, whose status in the hearts of the people was rising sharply at that time, sent a telegram to appease the people, in order to calm the irritable emotions of the people in the country before the war.

Zhou Zhengqing felt sleepy and hit the pillow. He took this opportunity to climb up the pole.

Someone drafted a passionate declaration, which praised the citizens who participated in the march for not fearing power and showing true samurai spirit, while at the same time advising everyone to remain calm and not get hurt by coming out to apologize, and to believe that the government and the emperor will give everyone an explanation.

At the same time, they took the opportunity to make demands and seek benefits from the emperor and the military.

In the end, there was no choice but the Emperor and the military agreed to many things that Zhou Zhengqing would never have agreed to before, including the establishment of internal departments of the headquarters.

Others include the promotion of military ranks of Zhou Zhengqing's subordinates, the establishment of a military hospital, the establishment of a special high section exclusively for the military police, etc.

Except for not providing Zhou Zhengqing with more soldiers, all other requests were not met.

. . . . . . .

The new appointments are as follows: Takuto Takazaki, his military rank and position remain unchanged, he is still the commander of the Imperial Japanese Military Police Headquarters in China, commander of the Royal Military Police Regiment, with the rank of major general.

Shunsuke Nakamura: After Zhou Zhengqing applied to the Emperor, he was specially approved to be promoted to lieutenant colonel and served as deputy commander of the Royal Military Police Regiment and staff officer of the General Staff.

Yudai Itai's military rank remains unchanged, he is still a lieutenant, and serves as the head of the Intelligence Department under the General Staff.

Ken Nakagawa was promoted to lieutenant and served as the head of the Operations Section under the General Staff.

Yoshida Hayato was promoted to lieutenant and served as a senior staff officer in the General Staff.

Masaki Yamatani: Promoted to lieutenant, served as the chief of the liaison department under the adjutant department of the headquarters.

Saburo Koto: Promoted to lieutenant and served as the head of the General Affairs Section of the Headquarters Management Department.

Ogura Daichi: Promoted to lieutenant. Served as the captain of the weapons service team under the headquarters weapons department.

Nanzō Yunko: Promoted to lieutenant and served as the head of the Special High Section under the headquarters.

Taniguchi Mayu: Promoted to lieutenant, the headquarters dispatched three military police squadrons to form the Taniguchi Battalion, with Taniguchi Mayu as the battalion commander.

Mitsuda Shoma: Promoted to lieutenant, the headquarters dispatched three military police squadrons to form the Mitsuda Battalion, with Taniguchi Mayu as the battalion commander

Yusuke Ichijo: Promoted to lieutenant, his position as captain of the Harbin Gendarmerie remains unchanged, and the three gendarmerie squadrons under him remain unchanged.

Kawamura Yota, Ueki Takuma, Yokoyama Tai, Marusugi Chiki, Futani Ryusei, and Amada Yuuto were promoted to lieutenants.

Among them, Kawamura Yota, Kamiki Takuma, and Yokoyama Tai served as the captains of the three military police squadrons of the Taniguchi Battalion.

Chigi Marusugi, Ryuo Nitani, and Yuto Amada served as captains of the three military police squadrons of the Hirota Battalion.

For other low-level positions, Zhou Zhengqing let his subordinates choose people they trusted on their own, and he was too lazy to interfere.

It is worth mentioning that Prince Jingren and Sakurako's military ranks were not promoted. Sakurako's real job was Zhou Zhengqing's maid, and military rank and position were dispensable to her.

As for Prince Jingren, although Zhou Zhengqing gave him all the newly arrived tanks and armored vehicles and he barely formed a tank squadron, he was a member of the royal family after all, and the banner he raised was not to use backdoors.

It was not easy for Zhou Zhengqing to force him to be promoted. . . . For this reason, Prince Jingren led his men to drive tanks and armored vehicles and destroyed all the lawns, flowers, plants and trees around the headquarters.

However, Zhou Zhengqing did not seem dissatisfied at all. Although the lawn was beautiful before, it always gave people a feeling of being too delicate and making people reluctant to step on it.

Now the field has no lawn, it is dusty on sunny days and muddy on rainy days. In Zhou Zhengqing's opinion, this is the kind of training ground that real soldiers need.

June 30, 1937.

Because they were giving classes to the new military police, the open space around the headquarters was filled with new recruits sitting together listening to their seniors’ brainwashing education.

On the street outside the headquarters, a long queue formed at this time. Various private cars and rickshaws gathered together and stopped aside, guided by the gendarmes who were maintaining order.
