Chapter 1128 Maintaining Order in the Concession is My Duty
Chapter 1128 Maintaining Order in the Concession is My Duty
That damn old bastard!
I'm giving you face, and you don't want it?!
When the Japanese soldiers in the foreign concessions heard Takahashi Shingo speak so forcefully, they immediately felt much more confident.
Wow, Sir is truly a Sir!
He is a highly respected person, and he has seen more of life than Lin Ze has ever seen. No matter how arrogant Lin Ze is, he wouldn't dare to do anything to the Duke!
Some Japanese soldiers were discussing, "Lord Takahashi is right. Even the military police headquarters can't interfere with what happens in our Japanese concession, especially since it's a Chinese man who's the military police commander!"
"Yes, our concession has been like this for decades. What right do they have to change the status quo at will?"
“I have relatives in Tokyo, I’m going to write a letter and sue them!”
Niu San'er carefully observed these people and discovered a very interesting phenomenon.
None of the major Japanese businessmen, those with substantial businesses, were present at the scene.
Because those people all depended on Miyamoto, Yoshimura Yuta and others, many of them even moved their homes out of the concession. They were just doing business and didn't have the dilemma of "whether or not to bow down to the Chinese." Not only did they not have that dilemma, but these people were particularly good at fawning over Lin Ze. Every few days they would send someone to deliver some seafood, and sometimes they would even send some local Japanese beauties, hoping to invite Commander Lin to taste them. However, Lin Ze wasn't very interested. He had too many beauties at home, which raised his aesthetic threshold.
Those who feel indignant at the scene are mostly small business owners and junior staff members of offices, such as grocery store owners, bakery owners, and izakaya owners.
This group of people had a very narrow social circle, almost entirely within the concession. Many of them were "second-generation concession dwellers" who did not usually associate with Chinese people, but only with Japanese people.
These people are not well-educated and don't understand the situation. Having experienced the era when retired military governors flocked to the foreign concessions, they think the foreign concessions are awesome and the Great Japanese Empire is awesome. They think, "You, Lin Ze, are just a military police commander. We won't say anything to you, but you dare to interfere with us?!"
Niu San'er gave a wink to the military police officer next to him, and the military police immediately began to keep an eye on these people.
They're making a big fuss now, but later we'll have to make a list of them all, and bring them all to headquarters for a warm welcome.
Especially that guy who said he was going to write a letter to Commander Lin, damn it, that's courting death!
Just when everyone was expecting Shingo Takahashi to continue his "righteous" rebuke of Lin Ze, Lin Ze suddenly turned hostile.
Take two steps forward, and gather your right hand!
[Golden Right Hand! Your right hand will be greatly enhanced, granting it abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people!]
"Snapped!"
With a crisp sound, Shingo Takahashi was sent flying into the air by the blow, spinning several times before crashing to the ground.
Everyone was completely stunned!
Holy crap, is this person even normal?!
If you're going to slap someone so hard they stagger or their body tilts to one side, that's understandable. But what's with slapping someone so hard they fly through the air?
Shingo Takahashi's walking stick flew to the side, and his satin top hat fell to the ground, revealing his sparsely haired forehead.
After flipping several times, Shingo Takahashi fell face down to the ground, his entire left cheek turned dark red and began to bleed. His body remained motionless, and it was unclear whether he had been whipped to death.
Lin Ze shook his hand. "Even if you're a knight, even if you're old, you can't attack me! My hand hurts from that! Someone, take Sir Takahashi to the hospital and give him proper care!"
Two military policemen stepped forward and dragged Takahashi away, and no one around dared to utter a sound.
Lin Ze then said with great distress, “Look at you all, you must have been misled! The police headquarters just came to the concession to handle a case, and they’ve made such a scene! What kind of behavior is this? This is clearly destroying the great situation of the concession and ruining the peaceful and harmonious living environment. There must be some anti-Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere rebels behind this!”
"I now declare that there are one percent resistance fighters and five percent resistance fighter sympathizers in the concession. Enough said, maintaining order in the concession is my duty. Come on!"
"Have!"
"Arrests!"
The military police rushed out with a roar, each one like a wolf or tiger, brandishing pistols and carrying wooden sticks!
Those Japanese devils who dared to shout in the crowd were quickly knocked down!
The military police were ruthless when they wielded their batons; anyone who dared to resist even slightly would have an arm or a leg broken with a single blow!
Zheng Xiaji directed the police force to disarm the patrol officers at the concession police station, and then went to take over the concession police station.
Chaos reigned on the streets. An old Japanese soldier was pinned to the ground, weeping and wailing, "Baka yarou, baka yarou! Is this the Empire's concession in Tianjin, or the Chinese concession in Tokyo? If this continues, the Empire's face will be trampled underfoot by that Lin Ze!"
.................
"Yoshi, Lin Jun handled it very well, bringing honor to me and the empire!"
A day later, at the Army Headquarters, Okamura looked at the report submitted by Hayashi Sawa and was very satisfied.
The report details how he regained control of the police force in the concession.
First, countless residents of the concession could no longer tolerate the incompetence, chaos and corruption of the concession police station. They wrote a joint letter to the military police headquarters, asking them to take over the security of the concession.
Lin Ze knew that the military police should not get involved in this matter, so he sent Zheng Xiaji to take over a case in the concession.
Unexpectedly, there were many people with ulterior motives in the concession, especially some who harbored resentment towards General Okamura and wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble.
A riot broke out at the scene, and even Sir Takahashi, who came to quell the situation, was trampled by the rioters.
Fortunately, Lin Ze and his men arrived in time and brought the situation under control. In the end, only one police officer from the concession was killed in the chaos, Sir Takahashi was slightly injured and has been sent to the hospital for treatment, many resistance fighters were arrested, and the order in the concession was restored!
While peeling an orange, Okamura Tadashi said, "Father, I always said that as long as Lin Jun takes action, there's nothing that can't be resolved. The concession is practically a country within a country. I've heard of that Takahashi. Relying on his noble title, I've heard he's quite disrespectful to you, Father, always gossiping about this and that. How dare he discuss matters of national importance? You're kind-hearted, Father, and couldn't bear to touch him. Now look what's happened. He was attacked by some rebels who took advantage of the situation. If it weren't for Lin Jun, he probably would have lost his life!"
Okamura nodded. "In any case, the matter of the concession is a minor issue. The important thing is to deal with Uchida Eisuke's death as soon as possible. I thought about it again, Tadashi, why don't you go with Hayashi to handle this case?"
"I?"
Okamura Ninji said in a low voice, "It's not that I don't trust Lin Ze, I just want to know more details. This time you will go with him, listen to his words and observe his actions, and come back and report to me in detail, understand?"
"Yes, Father!"
