Chapter 218 The Surrender

"Can you tell me now what the radio identification code of the ship is?" He Chi squatted down and asked.

"I, I don't know. The radio codes have always been controlled by Major Katsumi himself." Chunshan, who had shown his samurai sword to He Chi yesterday, now had a look of fear on his face.

"Oh, that's a pity." He Chi patted the other person's shoulder and stood up.

He turned around and called Iikuni Kojiro, "I'll leave the rest to you. Try to leave as many people as possible to cooperate with us."

"Hai! Kojiro will do his best."

After saying this, Kojiro, who had completely betrayed his country, came to reporter Charles and said, "Sir, can I use the camera?"

Kojiro took more than 20 captured Japanese soldiers who were in a coma into a small room for "thought reform."

These people were specially selected by Kojiro from among the captured Japanese soldiers. They were all people of low military rank, poor background, and relatively weak willpower.

The method was very simple. Fan Guo Xiaojiro simply used the same method that He Chi had used on him on his "compatriots".

Those who were forced to expose their bodies in front of the "emperor" and leave photographic evidence had their psychological defenses shattered at once, and many of them burst into tears.

Half an hour later, a private named Watanabe became the first person to "surrender" among these people.

The gap was opened, and then four more people, under Kojiro's "inspiration", decided to go forward and agreed to cooperate with the US military to control the ship.

But He Chi underestimated the stubbornness of Japanese soldiers during this period of 1942.

"Damn it! Get on board!!!" A figure jumped off the side of the ship and instantly sank into the dark sea. This was the twelfth Japanese sailor who refused to cooperate and committed suicide by jumping into the sea. Even though these guys knew they had no way out, they were unwilling to cooperate and simply ended their lives.

The only person in the room who hadn't expressed his opinion was the frightened and terrified Captain Haruyama, and Kojiro slowly approached him.

"I am willing to cooperate! Please don't use force. I am familiar with the nearby routes and I am willing to lead the way for the US military." Surprisingly, Captain Chunshan, who always showed the image of a hot-tempered tough guy, actually surrendered on his own initiative before any "measures" were taken.

When Iikuni Kojiro saw that the officer who once showed off his power to him was now begging for mercy, the unnatural smile on his face became even wider.

"It seems that Commander Haruyama is still loyal to His Majesty." Kojiro had a sarcastic smile on his face and waved to several soldiers who had just surrendered. "You guys help the captain and make him jump into the sea more comfortable. This is your first mission."

"What!" Chunshan almost thought he had heard it wrong.

"I can cooperate! I am useful! I can provide information..." The captain, who sensed danger, began to shout.

Iikuni frowned, "Shrink his mouth."

A torn piece of cloth was strangled the captain's mouth from behind, making him only make meaningless sounds.

Kojiro squatted down opposite him and said, "Captain Haruyama, of course I know you are very useful, but have you ever thought about what I would do if a captain like you surrendered with the news?"

"I am just a small private. I haven't established myself here yet. If you come over, I will have no place. At this time, I can only apologize."

After saying this, Kojiro bowed 90 degrees, and then said to the soldiers who had surrendered behind him, "Send Captain Haruyama off. Those who don't want to do it can go down with him."

Under Kojiro's cold contempt, the other soldiers were silent. Several of them came forward and lifted up Captain Haruyama with trembling hands.

Pfft! !

With a splash of water at the stern, Kojiro returned to He Chi in the captain's room.

"Sir, I didn't do my job well. Only five people were willing to surrender, and they were all low-level soldiers. There were no officers. Please punish them!" He Chi looked at him thoughtfully. "Five is already a good start. You did a good job this time. I'll let you be in charge of commanding these soldiers in the future."

A flash of joy flashed across Kojiro's face, and then he bowed deeply, "Thank you for your training, please look forward to Kojiro's performance."

However, the capture incident is far from over.

At four o'clock in the morning, American reporter Charles suddenly broke into the captain's room where He Chi was. "He, go and have a look! Do you know what those Japanese are doing?!"

"What's wrong? Tell me." He Chi woke up from his nap on the bed.

"Look!" Charles pushed open the window of the captain's room. In the night, several black figures on the deck were carrying a sack-shaped object and then throwing it into the sea.

Pfft!
"The Japanese who just surrendered are throwing their previous prisoners into the sea one by one! Did you know?!" Charles said in a somewhat excited voice.

"Yeah, so what?" He Chi responded expressionlessly.

"Killing prisoners without authorization is a violation of international conventions!"

"International Convention? You've been in a prisoner-of-war camp in the Philippines. Did those guys tell you about the International Convention?"

"But we are different, at least we shouldn't..."

"Wait a minute, answer me a few questions first." He Chi raised his hand to stop Charles.

"There are 37 people on our ship, including you. The destroyer Tanikaze is seriously undermanned. Where can we get people to guard these more than Japanese sailors who refuse to surrender?"

"Well, even if they all surrender, the supplies on the ship will be enough for 50 people for a month, but only enough for 200 people for a week. What will we do for the rest of the sea voyage?"

"Let's take a step back. Even if we have enough supplies, if they all stay on the ship, the ratio of the two sides will reach 4 to 1. If a riot breaks out at a critical moment, who do you think will die?"

Charles opened his mouth and found that he couldn't answer a single question.

"I gave them a chance. They could live, but they had to surrender completely like Iikuni Kojiro."

"Since everyone has made their choice, the rest is entirely an internal matter of the Japanese special reserve force that was just formed today. They should deal with the traitors within their own ranks, so it is better for us not to interfere." He Chi's words actually formed a complete logical closed loop.

"Japanese Special Reserve Force?"

"Yes, it's those people from Fan Country. Every time the Japanese go to a place, they will set up a puppet government and armed forces, called the Peace Army, the Maintenance Association, etc. I am just using the same method again. Think about it, isn't it a wonderful thing to use the Japanese to fight the Japanese?"

Charles sighed, "Okay, He, although you have sufficient reasons, I still hope that what happened today will never be known to others."

Then Charles changed the subject abruptly, "Have you decided where we are going next?"

"I was just about to tell you about this. I now have three alternative directions." He Chi pulled out three notes written in English and slapped them on the table.

“Saipan”

"solomon islands"

"Midway"
