Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Zhou Zhengqing naturally noticed Ken Nakagawa's eager look, shook his head helplessly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then he walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and pulled out a whole carton of cigarettes with the words "Navy Exclusive" printed on them.

These cigarettes were given to him by Katsuo Abe when he was on vacation on the Kaga.

Katsuo Abe saw that Zhou Zhengqing had the habit of smoking, and although this type of cigarette was only supplied to naval officers and the quantity was scarce, he still gave him more than 20 packs at one time.

Zhou Zhengqing, holding a cigarette in his hand and a playful expression on his face, gently tossed it towards Nakagawa Ken, while scolding him with a smile: "Look at what you look like! Don't we military police get cigarettes back home? The navy ones are so good! Shame on you!"

When Ken Nakagawa saw the cigarette flying towards him, he was surprised and hurriedly tried to catch it, holding it firmly.

Then he stroked the cigarette in his hand, a silly smile on his face: "Hehehe, General, you don't know, in order to show their status, those people in the navy are very particular about the things they use. These cigarettes are no exception. They are much better than ours."

Zhou Zhengqing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, and said leisurely: "Oh, if you want good cigarettes, send a telegram to the country, and you can get whatever you want."

Nakagawa Ken disagreed, still smiling as he explained, "This is different. This is specially supplied to naval officers, and it's not comparable to ordinary military supplies. Besides that fellow Koto Saburo, it's really hard for anyone else to get it here."

Zhou Zhengqing waved his hand and said, "Alright, it's just a cigarette. Look at how you act. I'll give Ban Jing a few packs later. After that, you just cooperate with Ban Jing and don't cause any trouble for me!"

"Hey! General, don't worry!" Nakagawa Ken shouted with a smile on his face, his voice full of excitement and excitement, as if he had received a great gift.

Itai Yudai glanced at his friend with some disdain, then looked at Zhou Zhengqing and said seriously, "General, there is one more thing I need to report to you. When we came back, we captured Zhang Jinhui from Maochuan Mansion."

"Huh? Zhang Jinhui?" Zhou Zhengqing frowned slightly, looking puzzled.

Zhang Jinhui's status was too low. In the eyes of others, there was no reason for a general like him to remember a small figure like him.

"He's the captain of the Maochuan Mansion Action Team. He's hunting down Shao Laoshuan, the contact between the Tianjin Underground Party and me." Itai Yudai explained, "On the way back, I spoke with Shao Laoshuan. He told me that life is tough for the Tianjin Underground Party right now, and many people have been arrested."

Itai Yudai continued, a trace of worry on his face. "Also, I ran into Translator Zhang at the gate. It seems he came to see me about this matter as well. General, what do you think I should do?"

After listening to this, Zhou Zhengqing slowly pulled out the chair behind his desk and sat down. He then rested his hands on the table and looked intently at Itai Yudai. He said seriously, "I know about this matter. Zhang Xiaolan also came to see me. I was the one who asked her to come to you."

"Oh! General, do you want me to come forward?" Itai Yudai frowned and asked tentatively.

Zhou Zhengqing nodded slightly, his eyes penetrating as he spoke, "At first, the higher-ups told us military police not to get involved, but now that the fighting in Tianjin and downtown Beiping is almost over, it's time for us military police to step in."

Upon hearing this, Itai Yudai's eyes flashed with excitement. He took two steps forward and said with a smile, "The General wants to resume military police patrols and guard duty. That's great! I believe the soldiers below would be very happy to hear this news."

Zhou Zhengqing nodded slightly and began to explain his plan: "I plan to let the Taniguchi Battalion stay in Beiping, and let the Mitsuda Battalion take charge of Tianjin. Ichijo Yusuke will lead the remaining battalion to stay at the military police headquarters.

By the way, apply to the country to continue recruiting military police."

Upon hearing this, Itai Yudai asked in surprise, "General, didn't the higher-ups only allow us to have one regiment? Will your application be approved?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhengqing looked at Itai Yudai with amusement and said, "That's right, my direct unit is a regiment, but we can't let our military police headquarters be responsible for maintaining the local military police, right?

Now both Peking and Tianjin need to form military police to maintain public order and crack down on anti-Japanese elements. The Taniguchi Battalion and the Mitsuda Battalion are only temporary replacements. In the future, military police will be needed to guard the area for a long time. Is it wrong for me to ask for people from the country?

Moreover, I believe His Majesty the Emperor would also like to see our military police force grow stronger, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Itai Yudai's expression instantly became interesting, but more of it was excitement.

His eyes sparkled, as if he saw the glorious prospect of the ever-growing gendarmerie in the future. He said excitedly, "That means that as the Empire occupies more and more cities, the number of gendarmerie units under our gendarmerie headquarters will also increase!"

Zhou Zhengqing smiled slightly and asked, "Of course. Do you think that our Military Police Headquarters alone can maintain public security in all occupied areas?"

Itai Yudai laughed as well, bowed and said sincerely, "As expected of you, General! I respect you!"

Zhou Zhengqing continued, "I plan to have Mitsuda Shoma leave the Japanese Concession and establish a military police force in the Chinese Concession. They will be responsible for maintaining public security in the urban area of Tianjin outside the concession. Naturally, all the intelligence offices in Tianjin will also be under their supervision.

Regarding the incidents in which various intelligence agencies acted recklessly without reporting to our Military Police Headquarters, we must forcefully intervene and investigate. We must not allow those foolish people to affect the image of the Empire!"

"Hey! I know what to do!" Itai Yu's eyes widened into slits as he smiled and shouted loudly, his voice full of determination and confidence.

Zhou Zhengqing nodded slightly and instructed: "Well, it's good that you understand what to do, but your focus should be on Xiangyue Qingsi, that's where we need to focus.

Let Xu Sang come to see me later. I don’t care how you and Xu Sang plan the next move. I just want the result.”

"Hi Yi!"

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

An hour later, Xu Zhongyi bent over and backed out of Zhou Zhengqing's office slowly and cautiously.

Every step seemed to carry a heavy burden, as if the feet were filled with lead.

At this time, his forehead was already covered with beads of cold sweat, which meandered down along the contours of his cheeks and wet his collar.

His eyes revealed deep fear and anxiety.

His lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but it seemed as if something was choking him, and he couldn't utter a word.
