But what if we mobilize all the old brothers in the Northeast? 10000 people is just a base, I tell you!

Not to mention the 10 former Northeastern Army soldiers who remained in the Northeast and became the Manchukuo National Army, even if there were fewer than 10 bandits in the three northeastern provinces, Xie Wendong would tear his brains off and kick them like a ball!

Yes!

His Majesty Fujiwara's maid said that the Japanese wanted to confiscate all the landlords in Northeast China, but would spare his land. Does that mean that I can let landlords in other places "register" their land under my name?

Why?

Isn't this another way to make money?

Let me think about it, the "recruitment fees" given by the Japanese, the "resale fees" after receiving the equipment, the "empty salaries", the "name fees" and so on...

The situation is really good!

Just as Xie Wendong was imagining the future, his subordinate Guan Jiwen ruined his mood again:

"Then, Brother Jing, Brother Wang, Brother Dong... do you want to call them?"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Wendong's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Brother Jing, Jing Zhenqing, was from Changchun, Jilin Province. He was the head of the Wujia Village in Tulongshan District and had always been quite prestigious, no less than Xie Wendong.

Wang Xueyi, the third brother, was from Changchun, Jilin Province. He was the head of the second bao in Tulongshan District and was also a well-known figure in the area.

Dong Dianfu, the fourth brother of Dong, was a native of Fengtian and the leader of another militia group in Tulongshan. Although young, he was quite powerful and heroic, and was very popular among the local farmers.

In addition, there were more than 20 people including Cao Ziheng, Cheng Haibo, Qian Xuejiu, Wang Kui, etc., who were originally local heroes that Xie Wendong was trying to recruit to join Li Du's anti-Japanese armed forces and fight together;

However, when Xie Wendong decided to surrender to the Japanese, these "heroes" suddenly became stumbling blocks that could affect his development.

Will they agree to surrender?

What Xie Wendong was sure of was that at least Jing Zhenqing and Dong Dianfu would not surrender.

This is very troublesome.

If they were willing to surrender, that would be fine. If they were unwilling or even tried to stop, then Xie Wendong, with only a cavalry regiment and a mere 100 men, would definitely not be able to defeat them.

How to do it?

This problem must be solved first.

Xie Wendong pondered for a long time with a sullen face. Suddenly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He called his subordinate Guan Jiwen over and whispered a few words to him. The latter was surprised:

"Boss, are you really going to do this? Isn't this too unkind?" "Unkind bullshit!"

Xie Wendong slapped Guan Jiwen on the head:

"Those who achieve great things don't care about small details, understand? Without ruthlessness, how can you build a family fortune?"

"I understand!"

240 The Imperial Army asked me to bring you a message: Will you surrender or not?

The agent has no idea what's about to happen behind her, nor does she completely unconcerned;

To her, apart from the commander's orders, no one else in this world is worth mentioning.

Whether they were "anti-Japanese heroes" or "traitors and running dogs", their life and death were not within her consideration at all.

Following the address provided by Xie Wendong, the agent soon arrived in the mountains near the border between China and Russia in the future, in the direction of Hegang, and was stopped by a group of former Northeast Army soldiers.

“What are you doing?”

"I'm here to see your Commander Li Du." "...First, tell me how you got here!" "What if you don't tell me?"

"Then please leave! I won't let a stranger of unknown origin see my man."

Yes, the reason why these Northeastern Army soldiers were so polite was not just because the agent was a beautiful woman;

Moreover, their leader was a woman herself—Wang Zhepei, the second wife of Marshal Li Du, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Self-Defense Army.

If it weren't for this person's prestige and deliberate restraint, hehe...

Wang Zhepei sat on his horse in a heroic manner, with his hands on the two pistols at his waist, staring at the agent with extreme vigilance.

As a woman, she wasn't wary of the other person's beauty, but as a skilled archer and horseman, she sensed that the woman in front of her was no ordinary person, and might even be better at fighting than she was.

How dare she let such a dangerous person into the mountain!

Although it didn't matter whether Wang Zhepei agreed or not, and although he had no interest in these humans, the agent was still a little polite to the "anti-Japanese elements" who had a good impression of the commander:

"Please inform me that I am from the Commander-in-Chief of the Northeastern Bandit Suppression Army and I have something important to discuss with Commander Li."

“Oh, so it’s from Northeast China… huh????” Wang Zhepei widened his eyes.

Commander-in-chief of the Northeastern Bandit Suppression Army? Isn't that the one who is suppressing us? A traitor?

No, I remember the man said last time that there was a new Japanese guy who was some kind of vine or something, and he seemed to be from the Japanese royal family...

Wait a moment...

Wang Zhepei's mind was a little confused, and he barely resisted the urge to shoot. He asked the agent to stay where he was and not move, and sent someone to keep an eye on him. He then quickly rode his horse into the mountains.

After a while, Li Du, who was in a meeting, received the message and asked in surprise: "Did she say her name?"

"Uh...she said her name was the agent."

Dai Liren?

Li Du looked at the person across the table: "Marshal Ma, do you know this person?" "...No."

The short-haired man stroked his mustache, also looking surprised.

The person who was having a meeting with Li Du was none other than Ma Zhanshan, the former Northeast Army general mentioned above who pretended to surrender to the Japanese army, cheated Doihara out of a large amount of supplies, and then escaped with his men.

He came to Li Du this time to discuss with the other party a joint combat plan to counterattack Changchun, Harbin and Qiqihar, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

Li Du made a gesture of wiping his neck:

"How about chopping it off?"

"Stop making trouble, invite them in first, and let's see what the Japanese want to do." "Marshal Ma, you don't think you can trick the Japanese again, do you?" "Who knows?"

Ma Zhanshan laughed heartily and said:

"If we can really cheat again, our situation will be better than it is now!" Unlike at this time in history when they were besieged by the Japanese 14th Division and 8th Division that had just withdrawn from Shanghai, Ma Zhanshan's troops and related anti-Japanese forces are currently living a very comfortable life.

Because not only were Zhang Jinghui, Qia Xi and other traitors who were familiar with the situation in Northeast China killed in the bombing during the founding ceremony, but the Manchukuo, which suffered heavy losses, was lucky to be able to maintain the status quo and had no time to care about other things;

The Japanese also suffered heavy losses. The Kwantung Army and the Second Division were in constant internal strife, and then there were a series of other things such as rotations, so they had no time or energy to deal with them.

Later, when Ma Zhanshan raised the banner of anti-Japanese resistance again, the Japanese, especially Hirohito, were very angry. However, the Emperor did not want to offend his brother who had just taken office, so he did not arrange for anyone else to eliminate Ma Zhanshan.

Therefore, although it was already July 1932, Ma Zhanshan did not engage in a bloody battle with the Japanese Army's 8th and 14th Divisions, and the Japanese army did not take the initiative to attack. Both sides maintained a rare calm.

He cheated the Japanese of a large amount of money, supplies and equipment, and his territory in Hailun, Heihe, Tulongshan and other places is still there and has not suffered a major blow. Do you think he is happy?

Of course, Marshal Ma still wanted to fight against the Japanese, so he came to Li Du to discuss launching a counterattack in early July, at least to cause some trouble for the Japanese.

Because he heard that the guy named "Fujiwara Kanezane" had returned to the Northeast, and had also served as the "Manchurian Bandit Suppression Commander-in-Chief" and established a "386th Brigade", which made him feel a sense of crisis.

Unexpectedly, someone actually came to my door?

Could it be that they were planning to incorporate Li Du's troops and then defeat the "Northeastern National Salvation and Anti-Japanese United Army" from within?

Regardless, half an hour later, Ma Zhanshan and Li Du invited "Dai Liren" to come before them and got straight to the point:

"I wonder why your master sent you here? If you want us to surrender, then just go back! We don't kill women outside of the battlefield."

Ma Zhanshan didn't think he could deceive the Japanese a second time, so Li Du's attitude was very tough, even a little murderous.

Although surprised by the agent's beauty, these two were both shrewd anti-Japanese generals and were quite old, so they did not show any abnormality.

Facing the threat, the agent acted as if he hadn't heard it, and indifferently glanced at Ma Zhanshan, who was pretending to be an attendant behind Li Du.

"General Ma, I haven't seen you for a while since the coronation ceremony." In fact, the agent had never seen Ma Zhanshan, otherwise he would have found him long ago; but, Ma Zhanshan's photos are everywhere in newspapers across the country, and combined with historical information, the agent recognized him at a glance.

"Oh, so you know me!"

Seeing that his identity was exposed, Ma Zhanshan put his hands on his hips and asked casually: "So, what do you want to do by coming to see our brother Li? Bribing us? How much can you afford?"

This was said in a teasing manner.

He knew that the Japanese would never trust him again, but what if another fool like "Tu Feiyuan" appeared?

Right?

No bias, no deception. "Bribe? No, I..."

The agent was about to speak when an order came from the cloud map. Her cheeks twitched, and she cursed her commander inwardly, her tone becoming somewhat mean:

"Uh... the Imperial Army asked me to bring you a message." "What did they say?"

"As long as you surrender to the Imperial Army, you will get a lot of gold notes!" "Daydreaming!"

Before Ma Zhanshan could say anything, Li Du flew into a rage:

"You want us to surrender to you Japanese? It's impossible in my lifetime!"

Hearing the voice in the cloud, "Tsk, this old guy is not cooperating at all, it's boring," the agent sighed and returned to normal.

"Okay, enough joking, it's time to get down to business... Now, on behalf of His Majesty Fujiwara, the Northeastern Bandit Suppression Commander-in-Chief, I am conveying His Majesty's orders to you;"

Before Li and Ma could express their surprise and anger, the agent calmly and quickly put forward the requirements of the "Manchuria Bandit Suppression Headquarters":

"1. We allow you to continue the fight against Japan, but we will not allow you to continue using the banner of 'Northeast National Salvation and Anti-Japanese United Army'. You must change your name;"

"2. We can allocate a piece of land for you to live in, but your troops are not allowed to appear near major cities such as Harbin, Changchun, and Fengtian, at least not openly;"

"3. We allow you to publicize your anti-Japanese deeds nationwide, but you must also cooperate with our work and publicity;"

"4. You are not allowed to attack any Japanese troops or Japanese immigrants who may arrive later until you are attacked or discover any illegal brutality;"

"5. We ask you to help His Highness eliminate the bandits in the Northeast. We can pay you money or equivalent supplies per head as compensation;"

"6. You must not interfere with or obstruct Manchukuo's administrative work in the Northeast in any form and must fully cooperate;"

"7. You must act in accordance with His Highness's orders, strictly restrain your troops, and strictly prohibit any harassment of the public or violation of laws and regulations;"

"8..."

After stating a series of conditions that left Li Du and the others dumbfounded, the agent raised his chin slightly:

“This is not a suggestion, initiative or consultation, it is an order that cannot be violated or opposed;”

"You guys, do you understand?"

241 Do you understand what it means to keep the enemy at bay?

To be honest, after the agent finished speaking, Ma Zhanshan and Li Du's brains were in a complete state of shutdown for nearly a minute.

Because, the other party is speaking very standard and easy-to-understand northern dialect, so why can't I understand it no matter how hard I try?

What is she talking about?

What am I listening to?

No... She is Japanese, right?

Her master's duty...should...should be to destroy us, right?

But what's with all these conditions?! And this imperative tone!!!

We are not your subordinates! We are not your running dogs!

Compared to Li Du, Ma Zhanshan was obviously more cunning. He reached out to stop the former's impending rage and said in a deep voice:

"Woman, what does your master want to do?"

He instinctively felt that the "His Majesty Fujiwara" whom he had never met had a big plan in mind, which was definitely not something that ordinary people could easily understand.

"My master just wants to keep the Northeast safe..." "Northeast? Japanese? Keep the Northeast safe? Ha..."

Li Du's laughter was cut off by the agent's cold voice before it could even finish.

"...So, he doesn't want any forces under his rule that might interfere with his plans. If there are any, they must either be accepted or destroyed."

The two battle-hardened generals couldn't help but shudder.

They sensed a strong bloodthirstiness in the agent's words.

How could a girl who looked so weak and delicate appear to have killed thousands of people?
