Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2889: Onizuka Youming compromises!

Commander Ito was sitting in the back seat of a bumpy military vehicle, brows furrowed, staring at the passing scenery outside the window, thinking about the current puzzling situation.

Suddenly, a warhorse caught up with the car, and the signalman on the horse anxiously reported: "Report to Lord Ito, an urgent telegram from Onizuka Yumei!"

"Give it to me quickly!"

Commander Ito knew that Onizuka Youming had gone to rescue Kujo Miyakita, so the call from Onizuka Youming must have meant that he had news about Kujo Miyakita.

If Kujo Miyakita was rescued, his crime would be less serious, and through the Kujo family, his position as commander would be consolidated.

Otherwise, given his many wrong decisions, he will definitely be held accountable.

So he snatched the telegram and read it quickly.

When he saw the words "The person behind the scenes is Ino", his eyes widened instantly, his pupils contracted sharply, and his face was full of shock.

"How...how is this possible!?"

Commander Ito muttered to himself in disbelief, never dreaming that the mastermind behind this rebellion was actually Ino.

In his impression, Ino has always been a good guy in the army, who is gentle and tactful in his daily life. Who could have thought that he would do such a rebellious thing?
After a brief shock, a surge of anger surged from the bottom of Commander Ito's heart. He cursed: "Ino, that old bastard, actually dared to betray the empire. He deserves to die!"

General Ito was furious and ordered the signalman outside the car: "Notify the convoy immediately and speed up. I want to meet up with Miyamoto-kun as soon as possible and catch the traitor Ino!"

The Japanese signalman took the order and left, and soon the speed of the convoy increased.

Commander Ito clenched his fists tightly and kept thinking of countermeasures in his mind.

He knew that since Ino dared to assassinate Kujo Miyakita, she must have made full preparations, and this arrest would not be easy. He even worried that Ino might run away.

And there was another thing he was worried about, that is, he could not contact Miyamoto, the retainer of the Kujo family. He was now very worried that Miyamoto would be killed by Ino. After all, it was Ino who volunteered to look for Kujo Miyakita.

Thinking back, he was really stupid for believing Ino's lies. Fortunately, he finally made the right decision and asked Onizuka Yumei to find Kujo Miyakita, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Ito became angrier and angrier, and cursed: "I will make Ino pay a heavy price for what she did!"

Along the way, Commander Ito no longer had the heart to appreciate the scenery outside the window. Ino's hypocritical face kept appearing in his mind, and his heart was filled with anger and disgust. He secretly vowed to kill Ino with his own hands.

As the convoy speeded up, Commander Ito got closer and closer to the meeting place with Miyamoto-kun, and he became more and more nervous and anxious. He knew that he would soon meet the instigator, Ino.

···········
At the same time, Onizuka Youmei was arguing with Kujo Miyakita.

Of course, their quarrel was more like a debate.

The reason is those hawkish devils brought by Onizuka Youming.

Kujo Miyakita wanted to secretly execute nearly a thousand hawkish devils, but Onizuka Youming felt that these were the backbone of the Imperial Army and they should die on the battlefield instead of being executed inexplicably. Onizuka Youming frowned and raised his voice a few points: "Miyakita-kun, although these hawkish Imperial Army soldiers were temporarily bewitched by Ino, they are still soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army in essence. They have rich combat experience and are the backbone of the battlefield. It is a pity to execute them secretly like this. Even if they die, they should die on the battlefield where they charge into battle and let them be loyal to the empire!"

Kujo Miyakita covered the wound that had just been bandaged, and it still hurt a little.

At this moment, Kujo Miyakita's face was terribly gloomy, because he almost died at the hands of those hawks, so how could he let them go?
He stared at Onizuka Youming and said sternly, "Onizuka-kun, you are too naive! They have been bewitched by Ino and participated in the rebellion. Who knows if they will be used by people with ulterior motives again in the future and become a hidden danger threatening the security of the empire? Executing them now is to prevent trouble before it happens, and it is also for the long-term interests of the empire!"

Although those devils have no direct interest in Onizuka Youming.

But he was a soldier, and in his heart, he really couldn't bear to see nearly a thousand people being executed for no reason.

So Onizuka Yumei continued, "Miyahoku-kun, we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. They were just used by Ino, and they didn't betray the empire from the bottom of their hearts. Give them a chance, let them make up for their crimes on the battlefield, this will not only strengthen our military strength, but also show the tolerance and generosity of the empire to other soldiers, and inspire them to serve the empire more loyally. Isn't that good?"

Jiujo Miyakita sneered, his eyes full of mockery: "Tolerance? Tolerance for traitors is cruelty to the empire! Once this precedent is set, who will take the dignity of the empire seriously in the future? They must pay the price for their actions. Secret execution is the safest way. Only in this way can the safety of the empire be ensured."

Guizuka Youming took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, because he saw the condescending look of those great nobles from Kujo Miyakita.

As mentioned before, Onizuka Youming's father was originally a retainer of a noble, but he was driven out because he was injured and disabled while protecting the head of the family.

He had lived at the bottom of society since he was young, so he was very angry at the behavior of these nobles who did not take human life seriously. Otherwise, he would not have said so much.

So he argued again: "Mr. Gongbei, I understand your concerns about the safety of the empire. But these hawkish imperial troops are elites who have been strictly trained. They can play a huge role on the battlefield. We can conduct strict inspections and education on them to ensure that they have completely changed their minds before letting them go to the battlefield. This can not only solve the problem of traitors, but also enhance our combat effectiveness. Why not do it?"

Kujo Miyakita was silent for a moment, because according to reason, Onizuka Youming saved him, so he should give him face. But thinking about the way those hawks were chasing him, the anger in his heart was hard to dissipate.

So after hesitating for only 0.1 seconds, Kujo Miyakita regained his previous firmness: "Onitsuka-kun, your idea is beautiful, but the risk is too great. Once they rebel again, we will be in an irreparable situation. I can't take risks with the fate of the empire. This matter is settled. Nearly a thousand hawkish imperial soldiers must be secretly executed. And I hope you can handle this matter. I don't want to see other imperial soldiers killed or injured because of this matter."

Seeing that Kujo Miyakita was so determined, Guizuka Youming felt unwilling, but he also knew that it would be useless to argue any further.

He slowly loosened his clenched fists, sighed helplessly and said: "Gong Beijun, since you have made a decision, I can only obey. But I hope you can reconsider and give them a chance to reform."

Kujo Miyakita waved his hand and said firmly, "No need to say more. I have made up my mind. You should immediately arrange the execution of the hawkish imperial army and make sure it is foolproof."

Guizuka Youming lowered his head and was silent for a moment, but finally nodded: "Hi! Gongbei-kun, I'll arrange it right away."

After saying this, he turned around and slowly left, his heart full of regret for those hawkish imperial troops.

Kujo Miyakita looked at the departing back of Onizuka Youming and nodded slightly. He was really worried before that he could not convince Onizuka Youming.

When he was chatting with Nakajima before, he learned some things about Onizuka Yuaki's family.

Therefore, Kujo Miyakita also knew that Onizuka Youming disliked nobles like him.

But fortunately, Onizuka Youming is a smart man and he knows what he is doing!
