As the guard's words fell, the door of the office that was originally half-hidden was rudely pushed open, and there was a loud bang, accompanied by a heavy footsteps, and a middle-aged man who was about one meter six or five tall and very strong strode in.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a tweed lieutenant general's uniform, wearing a golden medal shining with red, blue and gold on his chest, and behind him were two military policemen wearing dark yellow military uniforms, shining high-top riding boots on their feet, steel helmets, a southern-style pistol tied to their belts, and white sleeves on their left arms.

Seeing the visitor, Murata Takashi's face immediately changed, and he couldn't help but lose his voice: "Gu Shoufu, why are you?" ”

"Why can't it be me?" The person who came laughed and said a little proudly: "There is an old saying in the people of China, called feng shui turns, I have been sitting on the cold bench in Tokyo for more than a year, and it is time for me to come out to serve His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Takashi Murata's face looked ugly, "Of course you can come, but do you have to do so desperately, even the gendarme of the headquarters also brought it, and everyone is a colleague, don't you even have the necessary face?" ”

It should be noted here that there are two types of Japanese military police. The military police in Taiwan and the military police in Northeast China belonged to the Imperial Decree Military Police, and the command of the Imperial Decree Military Police during the entire period of the Anti-Japanese War was often concurrently led by the chief officer of the local Japanese garrison. The other is the military police of the military headquarters and the headquarters, also known as the military police, the military police of the headquarters is very small, generally no more than one squadron, so under normal circumstances, the military police of the headquarters will not be dispatched.

One might ask, isn't it a joke that the gendarmerie is so small, the war zone is so large, and the order of hundreds of thousands of troops depends on a few hundred people?

Yes, the official gendarmerie establishment of the Japanese army is indeed very small, but the Japanese are not stupid, they feel that the gendarmerie is insufficient, and they have recruited a group of auxiliary personnel, the name is called the auxiliary gendarmerie, this witty point is equivalent to the auxiliary police in later generations, it can be seen that the auxiliary police unit is not the first in China, and the Japanese have played it as early as the last century.

Moreover, the Japanese also distinguished the responsibilities of the two, the regular gendarmerie has the right to judge in the war zone, and after catching people, they can directly convict them, while the auxiliary gendarmes can only arrest people and search. The auxiliary gendarmerie is drawn on a temporary basis, and the command is vested in the head of the gendarmerie detachment.

Seeing this, everyone should understand that the power of the military police of the Japanese army is unique among the military police in the world, and its awesome journey is not much different from the Jinyi Wei of the Ming Dynasty in China. So Murata Takashi's face immediately changed when he saw the two gendarmes in formal clothes behind Gu Shoufu.

It stands to reason that when the generals of the front line are defeated and ordered to return to their homeland, they will be accompanied by military police on planes or ships. But Oriental people generally pay attention to personal feelings, everyone is a colleague, and they don't see anyone who looks down, and generally in this case, the auxiliary gendarmes sent from above are not armed, which also implies that there is no big deal for the people who come. But once the official gendarmerie is used to escort it, it means that the gaffe is serious, because the official gendarmerie has the right to convict, which means that if something happens on a plane or a ship, they have the right to shoot directly at Tanaka Kuichi, so Murata Takashi's face will be so ugly.

At this time, there was also a rush of footsteps outside the door, and it turned out that the staff officers outside also rushed in when they saw that the situation was not good, and these people looked at Gu Shoufu and the military police with deep dissatisfaction in their eyes. After all, Kuichi Tanaka doesn't have to say how capable he is, but he is still very good in terms of command, and the staff officers of the 23rd Army are also very convinced of him. Although these staff officers also expected that the position of their own commander would be ruined after such a big defeat of the 23rd Army, no one would have thought that they would be escorted away in such an undignified way, which was too much in their opinion, and they couldn't help but be excited for a while, and they rushed over one after another.

Seeing more than a dozen staff officers rushing over, Tanaka Hikuichi, who had not spoken all this time, changed his face, and hurriedly shouted with a cold face: "What are you all doing...... It's none of your business here, go back to work! ”

"Your Excellency Commander, we are not leaving, you are a hero of the empire, you cannot return to China in such an dishonorable way!"

"Yes, you have done so much credit to the Empire, they can't do this to you!"

All the staff officers shouted one after another, looking at the staff officers who looked excited, Gu Shoufu's face was a little cloudy, Tanaka Jiuichi's prestige in the 23rd Army was very unexpected to him, if he took Tanaka Jiuichi in a too blunt way today, I am afraid it will cause a great hindrance to his future work.

Thinking of this, Gu Shoufu walked up to Tanaka Jiuichi, took out an official document from the briefcase in his hand, and read it with a serious face: "Order No. 1303 of the Great Japanese Empire Base Camp, after receiving this order, the commander of the 23rd Army, Tanaka Hisao, and others must return to the mainland as soon as possible accompanied by the military police to be questioned by the military court, and the post of commander of the 23rd Army left behind by Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu will take over. This order is the 5th of November of the 14th year of the reign of Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Palace."

After reading it, Tani handed the official document to Kuichi Tanaka.

Kuichi Tanaka took the telegram and read it carefully, then walked to the desk and picked up a pen to sign his name, and then returned the telegram to Tani Toshio.

Tani Shoufu, who received the telegram, was not in a hurry to let the gendarmes take Tanaka Kuichi away, but said to him: "Tanaka-kun, don't blame me for being so businesslike, this time the matter of the 23rd Army has alarmed His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty was furious at the Imperial Meeting, and even His Royal Highness Prince Zaihito was reprimanded several times, and Sakagaki Rikusho was even scolded to the point of being indecent, as the head of the 23rd Army, you are naturally the first to bear the brunt, His Royal Highness Prince Zaihito originally planned to order Your Excellency to be escorted directly back to Tokyo for military trial, Later, considering that you have worked hard for the empire, I ordered my subordinates to be merciful and interrogated, so don't mistake me for being specifically targeting you. ”

Hearing this, the faces of the staff officers who were still resentful of Gu Shoufu eased a little, it would be better if they were just questioned, and it would be the worst if they were sent directly to the military court.

Tanaka Jiuichi smiled faintly and said, "Your Excellency, I have long been mentally prepared for the arrival of this day, now let's go." ”

After speaking, Kuichi Tanaka took the lead and walked towards the door......
