Agents of the Republic of China

Zuo Xiehe followed their direction, and in a pit under the mountain stream, there were clearly only two colors left, black naked corpses, and jagged white bones, and a few black goshawks hovered in it , kept flying down and pecking at them, and an unbearable stench wafted over with the wind.

Zuo Xiehe raised his eyebrows unnaturally, and clenched his palms tightly. In this noisy environment, he could even hear his joints being pinched.

The director of the Qiushang Consortium here quickly ran over. This is a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears. In today's Japan, this kind of figure is rarely seen. It seems that although he is nesting in a ravine, this person is called Chang The life of the guy on Zuanosuke is still very moist.

For mining, all the trees on the top of the mountain have been cut down, so the hillside is under direct sunlight without even a small shade. Nagao Sanosuke has already ordered his men to set up a huge pergola to greet everyone Go cool off.

After drinking two glasses of ice water, Otani Kazuya's face softened a little, and gradually turned bloody, "Sanosuke, what did you do? You piled up the corpses on the side of the mine, you deliberately refused I'm eating!"

Zuo Xiehe Zhong didn't speak, but just looked at Nagao Sanosuke's expression with cold eyes. The chief officer of the Japanese army stationed at the mine was a lieutenant assistant. At this time, he was not seen appearing.

Nagao Sanosuke chuckled, his round waist bent down, like a fat lobster. "Master Otani, you don't know. These laborers are all soldiers from China. Before we took over, Mitsui Trading Co., Ltd. was in charge. I heard from them that since these people came to Japan, they have never stopped. It's not a trouble. To strike is to gather crowds to make trouble. Over the years, many people have been killed to stabilize the situation. To these people, whips and sticks are trivial, and only bayonets are good medicine!"

Nagao Sanosuke said unsatisfactorily: "Placing the corpse by the side of the mine is also a deterrent to these people. With these lessons learned from the past, they are much more honest. Besides, the imperial army is going all out in China, maybe After a period of time, another batch will be sent over. The life and death of these people is nothing to worry about. One meal a day and rest for six hours.

"Baga!" Zuo Xiehezhong jumped up from the saddle, jumped to Nagao Sanosuke's side, and was slapped twice.The crisp sound startled everyone around, the heads of the supervisors who nodded and bowed and stood outside the arbor were stunned, even Otani Kazuya was also taken aback.

Nagao Sanosuke's face was already full of fat, except for five extra fingerprints on his white and fat face, it didn't look red and swollen. He was slapped twice by Zuo Xiehe, and he didn't dare to do anything wrong , had no choice but to take two steps back and apologize repeatedly.

"Bastard!" Sakye Kazuka pointed at Nagao Sanosuke and yelled, "Short-sighted guy, don't you understand the plight the empire is in now? These labors consume one is one, the Imperial Army It’s not so easy, it will be replenished regularly. The Zhufeng Coal Mine is responsible for delivering the quota coal to the empire every month. You have killed and disabled people. Where can you find so many unpaid laborers! Really! There is no one to go to work, and you Nagao Sanosuke and the supervisor will give me the top!"

Kazuya Otani on the side also thought that what Sakye Hezhong said was true. Just now he thought that Sakye Hezhong was new to the coal mine, and maybe he used Nagao Sanosuke to establish his prestige. Now it seems that This young man really sees things very clearly.At this point in the war, the Imperial Army has shrunk on various battlefields, and the number of prisoners of war in their hands is getting smaller and smaller. matter.The country is also devastated, bombed by the U.S. Air Force during the day, and curfew at night. Women have become the main force in factories and fields, and no one is willing to work in the coal mines.When the labor in the mine is exhausted, the coal mine will come to a standstill. Who will bear the responsibility!

"Section Chief Sasuke is right!" Otani Kazuya and Nagao Sanosuke also knew each other, so he had to say a few words at this time, "Nagao, you idiot, you are really hopeless. The meat really grows white!"

"Yes, yes!" Nagao Sanosuke nodded his head. "Master Otani and Section Chief Zuo Xie please testify, we will correct it immediately!"

"Improve the conditions for the laborers!" Otani Kazuya peeked at Zuo Xiehezhong, seeing that he had no objection, and then continued, "Add one meal a day, and increase the amount of food, so as to ensure that they have enough physical strength to work. live."

"Also!" Zuo Xiehezhong added: "We also brought doctors and medicines this time, and organized all the workers to take turns to receive physical examinations. Those who are injured or seriously ill will take a break. In this case, everyone Labor is a valuable resource, and you can be punished heavily for being lazy at work, deliberately striking, and provoking trouble, but you are not allowed to whip workers at will!"

"This, this...!" Nagao Sanosuke seemed a little hesitant, looking at Otani Kazuya.

"Speak up if you have something to say, don't hesitate!" Otani Kazuo agreed.

"The chief of the Zuoxie doesn't know that the Chikufeng Coal Mine is managed jointly with the military department, and there is also a guard unit led by Nakazu Mizuno stationed here. We can follow the requirements of the chief of the Zuoxie, but the soldiers of the garrison Once the officers and officers want to beat and punish these Chinese laborers, there is nothing we can do about it!"

"That's right," a loud voice suddenly came from outside the arbor, "We are a unit belonging to the Kumano Division, and we do not accept orders from merchants!"

A short bearded man walked into the arbor, walking in a strange posture, as if he had long and short feet, and was dressed in a summer uniform of the local Japanese army. His two triangular eyes immediately fixed on Zuo Xiehezhong.

"Kumano Division?" Zuo Xiehezhong sneered, "It's just a new division stationed in the local area, but they dare to use the name of Kumano Division. The real Kumano Division is the Sixth Division. It is still in Nanyang Bloody fighting on the battlefield! Excuse me, where did you come from!"

"I...!" Mizuno was at a loss for words for a moment. He was originally a farmer, and the Japanese army was short of resources. He was also drafted into the army, but he only stayed in the Kwantung Army for two years. Later, his right leg was injured and he became disabled before being transferred back to the mainland. Became an officer of the Kyushu New Division and has been here for more than a year.Mizuno didn't expect a businessman to know so much about the military establishment. The Kumano Division is the unique title of the Sixth Division. Most of the soldiers in this division come from mines and loggers in the deep mountains of Kumano. They are famous for their bravery in combat. Mizuno Apart from the fact that the headquarters of the new division is in Kumano, the newly formed division has nothing to do with the Kumano division, it just uses this name to show off.

"Baga!" After being reprimanded by Zuo Xie Zhong, Mizuno suddenly became angry. In Japan, businessmen cannot be compared with samurai. Immediately he drew his samurai sword.

But holding the knife in the air with both hands, it didn't come down for a long time. Mizuno maintained a slashing posture, but his body froze on the spot. After a while, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Zuo Xiehezhong didn't even look at him, took out the lighter with his left hand, and lit a cigarette dangling from his mouth. "Mizuno, do you have any opinion on me?"

Mizuno stuttered suddenly. During the two years in the Kwantung Army, it happened to be in time for the Battle of Nomenkan. The Japanese army was defeated by the Russians. Now, Mizuno returned to the market and was awakened by a nightmare in a dream. He was just a farmer. , Where have I seen such a cruel and bloody battlefield, since then I have had a deep sense of fear for the battlefield.Back home, the comfortable life made him feel comfortable, and his experience in the Kwantung Army became his capital to show off.

"I, I, I...!"

Zuo Xiehezhong pushed his right hand forward, and everyone immediately felt the coldness of the pistol in his hand, and they were all shocked.

Zuo Xiehezhong held a southern pistol in his right hand, and the muzzle of the gun was just below Mizuno's lower abdomen, between his legs.

Zuo Xiehe looked at him contemptuously, put the lighter in the pocket of his trousers with his left hand, took out a green ID card, opened it and placed it in front of Mizuno, "Advise Mizuno Zhongzuo, it is best to follow my order, Otherwise, it is you who will leave Zhufeng Coal Mine, and definitely not me!"

Otani also suppressed his laughter, and hurried up to smooth things over. He knew very well that Zuo Xiehezhong came this time not only as the section chief of the consortium, but even the department in charge of mineral resource allocation in the General Staff Headquarters personally issued an order. I don't know which way Longsheng got through to obtain such authorization. Anyway, Zuo Xiehezhong is now not only the section chief, but also the inspection commissioner sent by the staff headquarters.Mizuno, the lieutenant of a small local army wanted to show his prestige in front of him, he was simply impatient.

"Two, two!" Otani Kazuya came up to persuade the fight with a smile on his face, but snatched the samurai sword from Mizuno's hand first, "The military department and the consortium sent us here, hoping to complete the coal supply share as soon as possible. The imperial jihad is now at a critical moment, of course we have to work together, it’s just a small disagreement, it’s not going to be like this, don’t you think, Mizuno!”

Mizuno looked at the gun barrel in his crotch, then at Otani Kazuya and Sakye Hezhong, quickly stood up straight, and saluted Sakye Hezhong, "Your Excellency, I'm really sorry for offending you, please punish!"

Zuo Xiehezhong slowly put the pistol back, and nodded at Mizuno Nakazuo, "Mizuno-kun, Nagao-kun, I hope you can understand that I am here this time with a heavy responsibility, and it is entirely for the sake of the Zhufeng Coal Mine. Complete all the shares, everything is not against you, as long as you cooperate fully, I will definitely ask for credit from the General Staff Headquarters and the Foundation for the two of you!"
