Chapter 166 Secret Agent
Luo Jiu was caught in a dilemma. Her original intention was to carry out high-level colonization.
The original plan was to eliminate all the Japanese weapons and completely turn this place into a province of our country, transport its resources back to the country, and vigorously promote domestic development and construction.
Here we carry out assimilation education, unify the language and writing, and completely eliminate the basis of their resistance.
But now, in order to survive, the Japanese army is about to drag the civilians down with them to live and die together.
If the bombing continues, Dongjing will become a dead city.
This will have an adverse impact on future colonization and will also break the demonstration effect that Luo Jiu wants to show to other countries.
She rubbed the corners of her eyes, quite hesitant.
The staff in the room began to talk at once.
"Although we don't want to carry out a massacre, the devils sneaked into the civilian area. Can we be blamed for this?"
"But what good will it do us to raze Dongjing to the ground? We need them to create value for us to continue to produce things. What value can a corpse create?"
"Civilians are innocent. Dropping petrol bombs on some elderly, children, women and children goes against the purpose of our army."
"Although the civilians are innocent, their own army wants to drag them down with them. What can we do? If this drags on, it will be disadvantageous to our army."
After everyone had been talking for a while, someone suddenly spoke up, "If it were up to me, we wouldn't use petrol bombs, we could just fight our way in.
Kill the Japanese soldiers you see, capture the Japanese women you see, don’t pay the soldiers this month, give the Japanese women as wives, haha…”
He laughed dryly twice, but the others kept silent and did not dare to agree.
Everyone looked at Luo Jiu at the same time, observing her expression.
Luo Jiu suddenly smiled and made a pinky promise.
The man walked up to her, not knowing what was going on. "Commander, look at my idea..."
Pah! Luo Jiu raised his hand and slapped him hard.
The man covered his face, lowered his head, and dared not say a word.
Luo Jiu glared at him fiercely, "Idiot! Let me ask you, why are we fighting?"
The man muttered, "For the country and the people."
"Louder!"
"Report to the commander, we are fighting for our country and our people."
Luo Jiu snorted coldly, "How could you still remember!
Are there so many of us who have left our homelands, uprooted our families, and risked our lives at any time, charging into battle here, just to find wives for some people?
Narrow-minded! Shallow!
If anyone fights to satisfy his own personal desires, he'd better go home as soon as possible. There will be no beasts in uniform in my army.
As a staff officer, you actually made such a suggestion. What do you want to do?
Force the military and civilians to unite and fight the war with all their might?
Don’t you think about why the Japanese can’t conquer us?
Because they are as stupid as you, their inhumane actions make all of us compatriots share the same hatred and unite firmly.
We will never give up resistance, because everyone knows that the consequences of submission will be even worse!
Do you have any vision and strategic perspective?
Don’t you think about this? If other countries knew we were doing this, then when we attack the next country, they would unite from the beginning and fight back with all their might.
Not only are you ignoring innocent civilians in other countries, you are also creating hatred and danger for our warriors.
If you are a warrior, you may not know how to attack people's hearts, but only know how to kill people.
But you are a staff officer who only knows how to kill people but not how to conquer their hearts. You are totally stupid!"
The man was scolded by Luo Jiu and dared not speak. Only now did he dare to respond: "The commander is right. I was not thoughtful enough. I ask for military punishment."
Luo Jiu: "Go get a hundred military sticks and reflect on your ideological problems."
"yes."
The man turned to leave, Luo Jiu glanced at him and said, "Get back here."
The man stopped immediately, fearing that Luo Jiu would expel him from the army. "Commander, I really know I was wrong, I..."
Luo Jiu sighed, "I remember you. When we attacked Fengxian, it was you who came up with the trick to have the soldiers enter the city early and break open the gate to avoid casualties.
I remember your contribution, and I encourage you to offer your ideas, but it is still unforgivable for you to come up with such an idea this time.
I'll give you thirty military sticks this time so you can learn your lesson. If you say such nonsense again next time, go back to your country and feed the pigs."
"Yes!" The man saluted with red eyes and went to lead the military law.
Cheng Yaoyao poured a glass of water and handed it to Luo Jiu. "Calm down. Today's game was not going well, so it's inevitable that everyone is a little anxious. Think about it slowly. We will definitely be able to think of a solution."
Before he finished speaking, a guard came in from outside and reported, "Commander, there is a Japanese who wants to see you. He claims to be a secret intelligence officer of your relative."
Feng Qi: "When did you train the Japanese intelligence agents? Are they so forward-looking?"
Luo Jiu held his forehead and said, "Have you forgotten? During the Red Island victory, the Japanese soldier who wrote a diary about depression and wanted to go home every day cried like crazy.
Later we didn’t kill him, but gave him five pounds for his journey and let him go.”
Feng Qi suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a person.
Luo Jiu asked the guard to bring him in, and Fujino Saburo came up and saluted as an insider.
"Special intelligence officer Saburo Fujino meets with the commander and other officers."
Luo Jiu: "Special intelligence personnel?"
Fujino Saburo: "Yes, didn't you ask me to draw a map of Dongjing? And you gave me five pounds for my service."
Luo Jiu: "But...you never contacted us."
Fujino Saburo: "Because I am lurking, waiting for you to attack Dongjing."
As he spoke, he took out the detailed map of Dongjing that he had treasured for a long time, along with several nearby small counties, all of which were marked in detail in Chinese.
This detailed map is of great significance to our army's street fighting.
Luo Jiu took the map and examined it carefully. Fujino Saburo suddenly asked, "Commander, do you remember? You promised me that you would give civilians time to evacuate when you attacked Dongjing."
Luo Jiu: "I haven't forgotten, but now your troops are deliberately hiding in residential areas. They know they can't beat us, so they want to drag you civilians to die together."
Fujino Saburo thought for a moment and drew a dot next to Dongjing. "We can retreat to this small island called Ye County. You can rest assured to supervise. If a soldier sneaks in, you can slaughter him without complaint."
Luo Jiu looked at the distance between the island and Dongjing and said, "Okay, I will give you civilians four hours to evacuate to this island."
The next morning, the bombers took off again.
Then the roar of disaster planes circled overhead, and people hid in their homes, trembling with fear.
But this time the planes dropped leaflets instead of shells.
Written in two languages, it read: “Your army is trying to use the lives of civilians as a cover to guide our bombing here.
But our Chinese national tradition has always put benevolence and justice first, and we cannot bear to bomb innocent civilians.
Now you are given four hours to allow civilians to evacuate to the Ye County safety zone..."
The Japanese people who received the flyers said, "They are such nice people!"
