Chapter 721 I really don’t understand why I left this evidence behind
Really?
I am cautious about everything, and I am confident. Yes, but I am not blindly confident.
"What do you mean?" Yamadajima had a vague feeling that the two people in front of him were worried about the upcoming situation, but he couldn't see it.
Okamura Neiji smiled bitterly and said, "You seem to believe that the soldiers in our army are well-educated and honest people who return lost property."
It’s over.
Yamadajima knew that Okamura Neiji was speaking in a sarcastic manner. The soldiers of the empire had never been educated, and it was not uncommon for them to rob, kill, and even rape women in public.
"I think we should sell everything in our Tokyo store as soon as possible. If we're late, I'm afraid it will really be reduced to ashes by then."
The soldiers of the empire would not listen, even if they were given strict orders, but money was too tempting and few could truly resist its allure.
Before the other two could speak, Nakamura walked in. "General, Miss, we just received news that the Matsui Regiment has left the direction of the Independent Regiment and returned to the county seat."
"Miss Nanzō, you're absolutely right. He's the type who takes advantage whenever he can and retreats whenever he can't. Everything is just as you said. He used the same tactics he used against the Nakamura Brigade. It's a shame that in less than two months, the dignity of our Imperial soldiers has been trampled upon twice by him."
Several people nodded. Although the higher-ups believed that the Nakamura Brigade's actions were to preserve their strength, no matter how you look at it, it was still embarrassing.
"I'm afraid the Matsui Regiment will come back with nothing but their underwear. After all, the environment they are in is completely different from that of the Nakamura Brigade." Yamadajima wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
But he couldn't help but sneer.
If the Nakamura Brigade had run away, they could have retreated to the north and perhaps found a way out, but the Matsui Regiment did not. They did not escape, which shows that the price they paid would be very high.
Nakamura shook his head after hearing what Yamadajima said. "No, General, they returned more calmly than Nakamura's brigade, and even their personal belongings were not robbed."
"Oh." Yamadajima looked at Nakamura in surprise, then looked at Okamura Neiji and Nanzō Yunko; "What does this mean?"
"It seems they already knew the North China Front's plan. This is why the Matsui Regiment was able to leave with a bit of dignity. And I think his purpose was to deliver the message."
Okamura Neiji took a breath and turned to look at Nanzō Yunko; "What do you think?"
Nanzō Yunko nodded. "From what I know about him, he wouldn't let a cooked duck fly away. But this time he let go of those personal belongings. They must have understood the situation."
"Since Zhou Weiguo has intervened, I believe the trouble the North China Front Army has caused this time will be properly resolved."
Malacca, where the British Governor's Palace used to be, now has the Japanese flag flying.
After all, this place was where the commander was going to live, so it was not looted by the navy and the army.
However, this was only aimed at the Japanese army. The small team brought by Takeshita Shun was not afraid of this and had already looted this place once.
The Governor's Mansion was built very luxuriously. Even though it had been looted once, the layout and vegetation here still showed Ying's domineering side.
There is a building in the back garden. This is where Xiao Ya lives now. And this is the only place that is not stained with blood.
After becoming the governor, Hase Kiyoshi gave this place to Xiao Ya.
The European-style building built of marble has three floors in total. The third floor, which the army calls a small western-style building, has a room on the left and a viewing platform on the right.
From here, you can overlook the port not far away and the most prosperous central area of this place.
But now, the prosperous central area has become a deserted ruin, and the only thing that makes people feel lively are the warships docked at the port.
Xiao Ya, who had changed into women's clothes, sat on a rattan chair and looked into the distance.
When she heard the door open, she knew who was coming without turning around.
"Ma'am." Alice came to her side and bowed slightly; "Liu San is back."
This time, Liu San accompanied Takeshita Shun in the direct action, massacre and instigation. A few days ago, he asked Alice to contact Takeshita Shun and asked him to do something. I think the thing has been done.
Gao Qiao, who was standing next to Xiao Ya, twitched his mouth. He knew what Liu San would bring back this time.
"Let him come up directly." Xiao Ya glanced at Alice slightly.
Alice nodded and turned to leave, while Takahashi went into the room, took out a teacup, brewed a new cup of tea and placed it on the square table next to Xiao Ya.
Liu San, wearing the uniform of a Marine lieutenant, was led by Alice to the platform on the third floor.
"Madam." Liu San, a former bandit, had long since become a real soldier under Takeshita Shun's training.
Who could have imagined that this man who used to do all kinds of evil, stealing money, killing people and even stealing the wives of officials, would now become Takeshita Shun's other right-hand man besides Miyamoto Shigeru.
"Thank you for your hard work. Have a cup of tea first and we'll talk later."
"Thank you, ma'am." Liu San respected the wife of the regiment commander very much. To be precise, among the several thousand people in the independent regiment, apart from the regiment commander, this woman was the only one who could directly mobilize the troops. She could mobilize them even if she did not have this authority.
After taking a sip of tea, Liu San took out four bottles from his pocket and handed them to Xiao Ya with both hands. "Madam, after receiving your secret message, Miyamoto Shigeru and I immediately took action. This is what you need."
Xiao Ya took it, looked at it, and handed it to Alice before smiling. "Well, you guys have worked hard. By the way, what's the situation over there right now?"
Liu San lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Corpses piled up like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, and the air was filled with the smell of barbecue."
Xiao Ya nodded lightly. Seeing that nothing was wrong, Liu San went to the first floor with Alice to find a room and prepare to temporarily take on the responsibility of guarding.
Xiao Ya picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, then turned her head slightly to look at Takahashi Ichi who was standing next to her without saying a word.
She had long noticed that Gao Qiaoyi seemed to have something to say when Liu San gave her something.
"You have something to say." Xiao Ya pointed to the chair opposite; "Sit down and talk."
Gao Qiao nodded in thanks and sat across from him, puzzled. "Madam, why did you keep this evidence? The General is right. You were the direct instigator of this matter. If you magnify it, it will represent the city. Logically, shouldn't you destroy it all? After all, it would also be detrimental to the city. So, I really don't understand why you kept this."
