"Yanagawa-kun, there's news from the headquarters. His Majesty has already agreed to your plan, but the Empire does not have extra funds to allocate to you. You can only use the taxes in North China to pay for the purchase of machinery and equipment.
However, the base camp has agreed to send mechanical experts and technicians to help you build the military factory. In addition, in order to protect your safety, His Majesty has decided to transfer the 109th division to the Jiaodong Peninsula and station them in Xuzhou.
Your teacher, the Eternal King, has been transferred to the 109th Lieutenant General Regiment Commander position. In addition, His Majesty has authorized you to transfer the 238th Regiment of the 35th Regiment from the division to your command and be responsible for protecting your life.”
Commander Tada smiled as he stuffed a telegram into Liu Chuan's hands. He had a serious expression on his face. Liu Chuan knew that the Japanese did this to show their trust in him and to protect his safety.
Now, he had become the number one traitor, surpassing the guy from the puppet government of Jinling. The Japanese pushed themselves to the front stage to be a symbol and an example.
If that was the case, then they had to protect their own safety. If they couldn't even protect themselves, those who wanted to be traitors would have to think twice. If they couldn't even guarantee their safety by relying on the Japanese, who would come to rely on them?
Speaking of which, the Japanese seemed to value him very much, as if they had invested a lot in him. However, if you looked at it from another perspective, the Japanese army had hundreds of regiments, and the total number of troops was more than a million.
How many soldiers did the Japanese have in a regiment? The fully loaded regiment had 3,800 men. This was a requirement for permanent and special divisions.
A B-class division like the 35th Division was always on the frontlines, so their regiments weren't full. A regiment of 3,800 people would have about 3,500 people. Sometimes, when the Japanese had just arrived, they would be full for a while.
Later on, when the war started, they would have to provide reinforcements here and there. A regiment would be transferred to around 3,500 people.
Therefore, transferring a regiment to him seemed like a huge investment, but in fact, it was just a matter of a word from the Japanese. If he had more than 3,000 people, he wouldn't be able to cause much trouble and wouldn't lose anything. Most people would be grateful and look like they were loyal to the Japanese. This Japanese was really scheming.
He didn't care in his heart, but he had to pretend to care on the surface.
"Since the Empire loves me so much, I will definitely pledge my loyalty to His Majesty, to the Empire, and to the Holy War of the Empire ~"
Liu Chuan said to General Tada with a serious expression. Anyway, he should treat his words as cold water. Would an oath really come true? He didn't believe it. Otherwise, he would have been worth millions long ago.
"Yuxi, it's good that Liu Chuan-kun has such intentions. Now that the empire is in need of manpower, we need talents like Yanagawa-kun ~"
General Tada patted Liu Chuan's shoulder and laughed.
"Ha ~ Yi ~ Please rest assured, Commander. It's just that it's already the autumn harvest season. I hope that the commander will allow me to return to Xuzhou as soon as possible to harvest the autumn grain and arrange for the people to cultivate the winter wheat. I also need to prepare for the military factory.”
Yanagawa bowed and looked at General Tada.
"Yuxi, Liu Chuan-kun is indeed a loyal subject of the empire. Since Liu Chuan-kun wants to work hard for the great cause of the empire, I will not stop him. I'll order a plane to be arranged for Liu Chuan-kun. Tomorrow morning, Liu Chuan will be able to set off for Xuzhou.
However, your teacher, the Eternal King, can't return for the time being. He still needs to hand over some matters to the new major general of the 35th division.”
"Ha ~ Yi ~"
...................
The plane landed at Xuzhou Airport. Takano and the rest of the Japanese were already waiting for him at the airport. There was no welcoming ceremony. They were just here to protect him. Now that everyone knew that the commander wanted to chop him up, the protection naturally had to be increased.
If the Japanese set an example here and the commander on the other side succeeded in assassinating them, wouldn't that be a slap to the Japanese's face? Therefore, the Japanese in Takano City were well prepared. They had started to check the inside and outside of the airport four hours ago, afraid that someone from the military commander would plant a bomb.
After getting off the plane, he took a car and went straight to the police station. There were still some people waiting for him to deal with them.
There was a group of people locked up in the police station, a group of officials from the fake government. Liu Chuan had extorted them before, but he did not release them. Instead, they continued to be locked up. This time, Liu Chuan decided to let them out, but there were some things that he had to say before they were released.
In the past few months, Li Puchang, the former director of the Civil Affairs Department of the puppet government, had lost a lot of weight. He did not even look like a pig anymore. Look at his pale face, messy hair, and tattered clothes. He did not know if he was a beggar or a beggar.
These few months, he had not been living well. What kind of life was that? That was a comfortable life, but now it was hell. Fortunately, the prison guards didn't make things difficult for him. Otherwise, it would be even more miserable.
The sound of military boots could be heard. Lee Puchang slowly raised his head. The first thing he saw was a pair of black military boots. He knew that these were the boots worn by Japanese officers.
Further up, he saw a yellow military uniform. This was nothing. He was no stranger to the colonel rank on the collar. However, when he saw who it was, his eyes widened. The man in the Japanese uniform was actually Liu Chuan?
During his time in prison, he did not know what was going on outside.
A chair was placed behind Liu Chuan. He sat down and crossed his legs. He looked at Lee Park Chang and asked the prison guard next to him,""Why is Director Li like this? You guys didn't make things difficult for him these past few months, did you?"
"Director Liu, look at what you're saying. How dare I mess around with your orders? He has been locked up here for the past few months. None of his subordinates have touched him at all. Look at him, there's not a single wound on his body.”
The prison guard quickly smiled apologetically. Lee Puchang did not know what was going on outside the prison, but the prison guard knew. Didn't you see that the newspapers were flying all over the sky? Everyone was saying that Liu Chuan had made great contributions to the empire and was now the administrative director of the North China autonomous government?
What kind of official was this? As long as it was a traitor in the North China region, he would be in charge of it. If he said that you betrayed the empire, then it was a betrayal. Even if you were dragged out and killed, no one would complain for you. Therefore, this prison guard had a good eye for money.
He looked at Lee Park Chang who was sitting on the ground and shook his head."Tsk tsk, Director Li, you've been locked up in this prison for a few months. What insights did he have? Tell me, is it comfortable to hold this life-saving food for the disaster victims?”
Lee Park Chang finally reacted. He knelt on the ground and walked to the bars of the prison. He reached out and hugged two bars, begging for mercy,"Director Liu, I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please spare me. I won't do it again ~"
Lee Park Chang said as he knocked his head on the ground. He felt that a lot of things had happened in the past few months. Look at Liu Chuan, who was wearing a Japanese military uniform and was even a lieutenant. He quickly begged for mercy. At least he could keep his life.
