Chapter 628: Public Security

Most of the Kume people are Han Chinese, and even their original names are Han Chinese and they speak Chinese...... The Kume people are the bridge between Ryukyu and China, because of this so they have a transcendent position in the Ryukyus, so of course they will not give up the Chinese language, so they have been inheriting the Chinese language for generations, and when Japan annexed Okinawa, they also led the people of Okinawa to refuse to learn Japanese, and even asked the Qing government to help the Ryukyus restore the country.

But helplessly, the Qing government was unable to protect itself after the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, and of course could not help the Ryukyus to recover the country.

In terms of refusal to learn Japanese, it means that people have to bow their heads under the roof...... The Japanese used a clever method of humiliating their children, and when they did not speak Japanese at school, the teacher would hang a sign with the words "dialect book" written on it.

In order not to let their children be humiliated in school, the people of Okinawa can only let their children study Japanese hard, and after a few decades...... Most of the original dialects of Okinawa have disappeared, and only Japanese remains.

After knowing that this Urajiro was quite prestigious in the local area, Zhang Chi felt the need to talk to him, so he respectfully invited him to the "construction headquarters" used to rebuild Naha.

"Mr. Ura......"

"Sir, the old man's surname is Liang, and his single name is a building character!"

"Oh, Mr. Liang!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but be in awe of Liang Jian, he knew what Liang Jian meant...... The intention is to disdain the use of Japanese names.

When the staff officer Liang beside him heard this, he laughed and said: "Coincidentally, my surname is also Liang, and we were still our family five hundred years ago!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Liang Jian let out a long sigh of excitement and said, "Sir, don't you know that when we heard that there was a Chinese army coming...... Not to mention how excited we were, we tried to get in touch with you several times, but the Japanese were too tightly controlled......"

Speaking of this, Liang Jian didn't say any more, and sighed again.

Later, Zhang Chi learned that in order to get in touch with the Chinese troops, Liang Jian's two sons died at gunpoint of the Japanese army...... It is not a secret in Okinawa that most of Kume Village are descendants of Chinese-speaking Chinese, so they are also a key target of the Japanese army.

"Mr. Liang!" Zhang Chi handed Liang Jian a cup of tea and said, "You know, we are not familiar with Okinawa, you see...... What can be done to get Okinawa back to production as soon as possible! ”

"Sir!" Liang Jian bowed to Zhang Chi again and said: "You have done a lot, the people of Okinawa have always been hard-working, only because of the war by the Japanese looting, will end up in a desperate situation with no surplus food left, as long as the governor brings enough food for the people of Okinawa to eat for a few months, the people will naturally be able to resume production to feed themselves!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Chi nodded.

Zhang Chi believes that the people of Okinawa can do it, after all, Okinawa itself is a place with a relatively harsh geographical environment, and the people have a certain ability to survive if they can survive.

"But ......" Liang Jian changed his words and said, "With all due respect, it may not be enough for the chief to do this!" ”

"Oh!" Zhang Chi asked, "Then what else do you need?" ”

"Public security!" Liang Jian replied: "Maybe you can't feel it in your army, but among the people...... Most of the survivors are orphans and widows who are easy to bully, on the other hand, because of the many guns and ammunition left behind by the war, this makes many traitors and criminals among the people, such as robbery, theft, murder, etc., and at this time it is a vacuum of law and order, so everyone is in danger! ”

Zhang Chi nodded, and secretly said that this Liang Jian really has two hands.

Zhang Chi also heard about the many problems that arose among the people during this time, but he was suffering from no one being able to manage them......

Okinawa is different from Northeast China, which already has security teams...... Of course, these security teams were left by the Japanese puppet army, but those left behind during the Japanese puppet army were not necessarily bad people, after the Chinese troops took over and controlled the northeast, they turned out the "case records" of the Japanese puppet army, and those with blood on their hands or did many evils or killed or shut down, and those with a good reputation could be allowed to temporarily take their place, so the order in the northeast was quickly reorganized.

However, this is not the case in Okinawa, mainly because Okinawa is small and close to Japan, so most of the officials and police are Japanese, and at this time, the Japanese are wiped out...... The management of public security in Okinawa has become almost a vacuum.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi asked Liang Jian: "Mr. Liang, I don't know how many people there are in Kume Village?" ”

"There are more than 3,000 people!" Liang Jian replied: "Some of them have chosen to flee to China!" ”

This was after the Japanese occupation of the Ryukyus, and many people in Kume Village chose to flee to China for help.

"How many men?" Zhang Chi asked again.

"The exact number is not clear," Liang Jian replied...... "Many people have fled in all directions, but there must be two or three hundred!" ”

This also shows how destructive war can be.

"So......" Zhang Chi continued, "If the security of Okinawa is handed over to Mr. Liang, I wonder what Mr. Liang thinks?" ”

"What does the chief mean ......"

"It's up to you to be the prefectural governor of Okinawa Prefecture!" Zhang Chi said: "Then you will set up a security team, and we will distribute weapons to you, on the one hand, you can resist the Japanese guerrillas who may come to sneak attack, and on the other hand, you can also punish evil and promote good!" ”

Liang Jian immediately stood up, bowed to Zhang Chi and said, "Old decay...... Never give up! ”

And so it was decided.

Liang was built on the island of Okinawa because of the relationship between Kume Village, which has long been a prestigious aristocratic class on the Ryukyu Islands, and their rule over Okinawa is more acceptable to the Okinawan people.

Of course, what is more important is that Liangjian is biased towards the Chinese Expeditionary Force...... They are the blood of the Chinese, and the weapons and equipment are provided by the Chinese Expeditionary Force, so naturally they will not oppose the Chinese army (even if they want to do it, they can't do it!). )

Of course, Stilwell's side will not have a problem with this, the matter of law and order seems to be a small matter, but there is still a lot of trouble to deal with, and more importantly, the Americans are all soldiers, and they will not deal with these things.

The only question is, what if the American soldiers commit an accident and have a conflict with the security forces?!

Stilwell's reply was: "The American soldiers have gendarmes!" ”

All right...... There is no way around this, who makes the Americans still the boss at the moment? They are indeed above the law!

It's just that Zhang Chi formed this security team, and its purpose is not just public security!
