Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Yoshida Yuto closed his eyes, afraid that Hasegawa Kiyoshi would see the uncontrollable excitement in his eyes. When he opened them again, only a cold description remained: "First, a large number of horses died suddenly for unknown reasons. The quartermaster initially thought it was a common epidemic.

Subsequently, the soldiers began to develop high fever, chills, subcutaneous hemorrhages, and swollen lymph nodes. . . .

Symptoms spread rapidly and cannot be contained!

The transit port refused to allow it to dock! The supply ship refused to approach!

In desperation, the fleet commander tried to isolate the sick and even... enforce battlefield discipline... But it was too late!

The source of infection spread like hellfire in the closed cabin environment! Tens of thousands of people were trapped in the steel tomb!

Medicines were in short supply, the medical officers could barely protect themselves, corpses piled up like mountains, there was no time to burn them, and they had to be thrown into the sea!

In the end... only the outer patrol ships were spared, while tens of thousands of imperial warriors, along with their warhorses, all... perished in the sea of disease sown by their own people!!"

Yoshida Hayato almost gritted his teeth as he said the last few words, for he was afraid of laughing out loud...

There was deathly silence in the reception room.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi remained standing stiffly in the same position as before, the blood color on his face completely drained away, leaving only a pale white.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

His chest was heaving violently, his temples were throbbing, and the fallen teacup and the water stains on the carpet seemed like sacrifices of the silent shipwreck!

Tens of thousands of people!

Two elite divisions of the Imperial Army!

Surprisingly... He didn't die on the battlefield!

He didn't die under the Chinese army's artillery fire! Instead... He was killed by his own people, who, for their despicable selfish interests, used poisonous bacteria a hundred times more cruel than swords and guns. On the ship he was on, in a filthy cabin far away from the flames of war, he was left to rot and die painfully like livestock!

This is heavier, more shameful, and more unforgivable than any defeat on the battlefield!

It took a long time for Hasegawa Kiyoshi to recover from the immense mental shock. A chill ran deep into his bones, not only because of the horror of the incident, but also because of the terrifying depths of madness and depravity that it revealed at the top of the hierarchy.

"What about General Matsui, the commander of the expeditionary force? Could he also be..."

"Oh, General Matsui is fine. As soon as he realized something was wrong, he moved to the escorting destroyer, and most of the senior officers survived." Yoshida Hayato explained quickly.

"That's good!" Hasegawa Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a hint of realization, "No wonder when I urged the Navy Ministry for reinforcements, General Mine just told me to hold on, and even agreed to my dispatching of the Navy Special Forces from Shandong! So this is such a big deal! Damn it..."

Damn Xiangyue... Seiji..." Hasegawa Kiyoshi pronounced the name in a low, grinding voice, filled with unprecedented disgust and hatred: "How dare he!! For his own benefit?! For his own status...?!"

"General, this matter... has caused the wrath of the military and His Majesty the Emperor." Yoshida Hayato's voice was almost inaudible, "But the highest level is currently strictly suppressing the news to prevent the military and the country from being shaken. It is an extremely confidential military secret.

The incident was characterized as "a fleet of ships being attacked by an unknown severe acute intestinal infectious disease, resulting in heavy casualties."

Hasegawa Kiyoshi felt his eyes go dark as he looked out the porthole at the seemingly calm but actually dangerous sea. Under the azure water, it seemed as if countless swollen and blackened corpses were floating. They stared at the flagship with the Rising Sun flag with their empty eyes, questioning silently.

The bloody battles of the Marines on the Hongkou front, the risky breakout of the Yangtze River Fleet, the timely arrival of reinforcements from Qingdao... These actions, which originally symbolized the power and determination of the empire, were now shrouded in a bloody shadow of absurdity and despair.

"Devil..." Hasegawa Kiyoshi's voice was old and hoarse, as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant, leaving only endless coldness and exhaustion: "The devil who made a deal with the devil... Who are we fighting against?"

His question seemed to be directed at Yoshida, the Izumo beneath his feet, and even more so, the entire empire shrouded in the shadow of blood and lies.

"How is Kazuki Seiji now? I heard that General Terauchi Juichi arrived in Tianjin. He rushed to China so quickly, so he must be here to deal with this matter, right?"

"That's not entirely true. General Terauchi is mainly here to form the North China Front Army, and there were also some minor troubles in dealing with the matter of Kozuki Seiji!" Yoshida Hayato said somewhat embarrassedly.

"What trouble! Aren't the two Type A divisions of the Empire enough to convict that bastard!" Hasegawa Kiyoshi glared.

"General, you misunderstood. It's not that we can't convict him. We could have just shot Kozuki Seiji, but..." Yoshida Hayato was even more embarrassed. "It's just that after our military police headquarters arrested Kozuki Seiji, we were ambushed by the Chinese during the escort, and he escaped!"

"What! How could this happen!" Hasegawa Kiyoshi's eyes bulged, and he shouted, "Why don't you military police just shoot him? Guys like this who dare to plot and manipulate the situation are extremely dangerous and should be killed immediately!"

"General, calm down. We originally wanted to try to get something out of Kazuki Seiji, and the local order was to capture him alive, so we..."

Hasegawa Kiyoshi sat back on the sofa, seemingly lost in thought for a moment, before speaking a moment later: "Kazuki Seiji! And those idiots from the Army Ministry!

They almost drove the Imperial Navy out of Hongkou in front of the whole world!

Cut off our fleet's retreat and put our Marines in a desperate situation!

If the Navy Ministry doesn't investigate this serious crime thoroughly, where will our dignity be? Where will the honor of the Imperial Navy be?!"

Hasegawa Kiyoshi's chest heaved violently as he forcibly suppressed the surging waves of anger.

He took a deep breath, and his voice turned cold and sharp, every word seemed to be tempered by ice: "As for Xiangyue... Haha, to be able to plan such a vicious plan, I believe she has also prepared a backup plan.

"It's not hard to understand that he was able to escape from the hands of your military police. If the higher-ups hold anyone responsible, I will stand up and speak for you."

"Thank you very much. I will convey your message to our General Takazaki."

Yoshida Hayato looked grateful, but he secretly laughed in his heart: "Do you still need to speak out? Do you think anyone will come out to blame us for "losing" Kazuki Seiji?

But it would be very interesting to see your navy and army quarreling with each other."

Just when Yoshida Hayato was secretly happy, Hasegawa Kiyoshi seemed to see through his thoughts and said something quietly.

"Hero, tell me the truth, was Kazuki Seiji secretly dealt with by your military police?

I heard that Katsuki Seiji wanted to cause trouble for your General Takazaki before."
