Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 555 Nijima Mori: You asked me why I betrayed the empire, this is the reason, is it enough?

Shinozuka Yoshio really didn't want to believe that Iijima Mori, who had always been conscientious and loyal, would betray His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan.

Then he asked again: "Miyano-kun, did you get this news from Sun Dayi's interrogation?
If this is the case, then it must be the alienation plan of the Chinese people, the purpose of which is to cause conflicts within our imperial army, and even kill Iijima-kun, an intelligence genius. "

"The Chinese people have always been insidious and cunning, we have to guard against them, let alone fall for their tricks!"

Miyano-kun said with regret on his face: "Your Excellency, Commander, Sun Dayi's mouth is very hard, even though we tortured him to death, he didn't say a word.

All this was learned by me ordering the special high-level class to conduct a secret investigation. "

Yoshio Shinozuka's expression suddenly turned ugly: "Has Iijima-kun been arrested?"

Miyano Jun: "After all, Iijima Mori was a hero of the empire and your favorite student, so I didn't arrest him, and even Iijima Mori himself didn't know that he was exposed."

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded. Toshi Miyano's move undoubtedly gave him great face, so he said: "Go and call Iijima Mori to my office. Don't say the reason, just say that I have something important to do." Discuss with him."

"Hi Yi!"

Miyano Jun nodded heavily, then turned and left.

Shinozuka Yoshio didn't eat any food, so he went straight to the office.

About ten minutes later, Toshi Miyano led Iijima Mori to Yoshio Shinozuka's office.

"Your Excellency, Iijima-kun is here."

Miyano Jun nodded respectfully to Yoshio Shinozuka, then turned and left, and finally he did not forget to close the door to leave a separate space for the two of them.

Jun Miyano was not afraid that Iijima Mori would be unfavorable to Yoshio Shinozuka, because Mori Iijima was not only Yoshio Shinozuka's favorite student in mainland China, but also Yoshio Shinozuka brought him up.

Therefore, even if Mori Iijima betrayed His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan, he would never hurt Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Crackling!—"

The door was gently closed, leaving only Shinozuka Yoshio and Iijima Mori in the huge office.

Iijima Mori had faintly sensed that something was wrong, but he still bit the bullet and gave Shinozuka Yoshio a nod: "Teacher, I wonder why you are looking for a student?"

In private, Iijima Mori would call Yoshio Shinozuka a teacher, while he himself called himself a student.

Only when there are outsiders, he will call the other party Your Excellency Commander, or Your Excellency General.

Shinozuka Yoshio stared at Iijima Mori with sharp eyes, and said expressionlessly: "You really don't know why I came to you?"

Iijima Moriqiang calmed down: "The students don't know."

Yoshio Shinozuka's face hardened instantly, and he slammed the desk in front of him: "Iijima Mori, don't you really know?"

"Tell me why you would betray His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan!"

"Even if Miyano-kun put all the evidence in front of me, I still don't want to believe that a high-achieving student trained by the Imperial Army University, a commander of the Imperial Japanese Army, would actually do it for just 10 large yellow croakers. He betrayed the information, betrayed His Majesty the Emperor, and betrayed the Empire of Japan!

Tell me, why on earth is this? "

"Hehe! Just 10 large yellow croakers!" Now that the matter has been exposed, Iijima Mori simply stopped pretending, and even felt a sense of relief in his heart, which made him feel a lot easier.

He smiled miserably and said, "In the eyes of Your Excellency, 10 yellow croakers are nothing more than mere meres, but in my eyes, this is my salary for several years!"

It is worth mentioning that the salaries of Japanese military officers themselves were not high. Although Mori Iijima was an officer of the Colonel, he could not go to the front line to plunder because he was engaged in the intelligence industry and not a front-line field force.

Therefore, he, who can't make extra money, is not even as good as an ordinary grassroots soldier.

"Yaga!" Shinozuka Yoshio was instantly enraged by Iijima Mori's words, and he scolded, "Iijima Mori! It's just a few years' salary. Is this why you betrayed His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan?"

"Betrayed His Majesty the Emperor? Betrayed the Great Japanese Empire?" Iijima Mori also suddenly became excited. He glared at Yoshio Shinozuka, and hissed loudly: "I was enlisted in the army at the age of 16, and served for the Imperial Army for 30 years. Conquering the Northern War, risking life and forgetting to die, and I have not returned to my hometown for many years, and have not been reunited with my family. I have done my utmost to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire, right?"

"But what about His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire? How did they treat me? Did they ever treat me kindly?"

Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly found out that Iijima Mori might have other secrets behind his betrayal of the empire. He couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and asked again: "Why didn't His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire treat you well? The Empire will give you 350 yen every month. Salary, isn’t it good enough? You have to know that domestic workers only pay less than 20 yen per month.”

"350 yen? That's quite a lot!" Iijima Mori was desperate anyway, with a mocking smile on his face, and asked, "Have you ever paid the full amount?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was speechless when he heard the words, because the scale of the Sino-Japanese War continued to expand, resulting in financial constraints. From 38 onwards, the salaries of soldiers were only paid half, and in 39 they were only paid one-third, or even more. less than.

The remaining salary is said to be deferred, but in fact it will not be paid.

After being stunned for a while, Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "Even if it is less than one-third of the salary, 100 yen is enough for you to live comfortably, right?
Moreover, all expenses in China do not need money. "

"Hehe!" Iijima Mori sneered again and again: "100 yen can really make me live comfortably, and even allow me to have some spare money to drink wine occasionally and go shopping in brothels."

Speaking of this, Iijima Mori's expression suddenly began to distort, ugly like a devil crawling out of hell, and said with a hideous face: "But what about my family? Commander, my respected Commander! You You know? Because of the famine, my father was starved to death! He was starved to death!

My wife, in order to save food and keep my young son alive, she chose to hang herself!
My two daughters, the older one just turned 20 and the younger one just turned 16!

But I was captured by the empire I have always been loyal to, and I don’t know where to be sent to be a comfort woman. I don’t know if I will die!No audio at all! "

"I have lost my wife and my daughter, and only my 70-year-old mother is left in my hometown with a young son who is waiting to be fed!"

"My esteemed Commander, please tell me, is this how His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire treat meritorious ministers kindly?

Ah, you tell me! "

"Why is this so?" Yoshio Shinozuka was stunned, he actually began to sympathize with Iijima Mori in front of him, he couldn't get angry at all, and couldn't hate him at all.

Even if the other party betrayed information, betrayed His Majesty the Emperor, and the Empire of Japan just for the sake of 10 large yellow croakers, so that the empire suffered huge losses...
