Several thugs with explosives tied to their bodies launched a suicide attack. Their target was obviously Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but Lu Ming happened to be there, so the thugs were discovered and shot dead by the guards before they could get close to the house. One of the thugs detonated the detonator on his body before he died.
Although the troops and administration have been streamlined and all the big and small Guos have been transferred to the main body, the guards around "Boss Zhang" are still very strong. Not to mention Granny Long, there are several super soldiers trained by Bizhu in the pistol platoon.
…
In Lu Ming's office on the third floor of the company, there are only Lu Ming and Bai Yumeng.
Looking at the photo in his hand, Lu Ming said: "Our special work department is different from the previous model in the Northern Territory. In Japan, in addition to supporting the people and organizations we need, we also need to capture intelligence, concession security, and exterminate traitors, etc."
The photo in Lu Ming's hand showed a young Japanese man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Even in the photo, one could see a ruthless look in his eyebrows.
He is the leader of the radical Japanese organization "Shinrikai". His name is Keiichi Yasumoto. He is a fourth-year student at Kyoto University and is also the president of the student union.
The "New Sun Society" is an organization that quickly emerged after Japan and the Principality of Montenegro signed a peace agreement, and is determined to drive the Montenegrins out of Japan.
Yasumoto Keiichi's uncle is the former commander of the 3rd Division, Fujii Kazuo.
The Third Division was nearly destroyed when it encountered a bombing by the Montenegrins while preparing to conquer the northern region of the Empire.
Kazuo Fujii committed suicide to apologize.
Behind Keiichi Yasumoto there must be the support of the hawkish Japanese military.
There are quite a few young Japanese military officers clamoring to go to war with the Principality of Montenegro again.
They believed that if they went to war with the Montenegrins in the Japanese Islands, the Montenegrins would have no chance of winning.
Yamamoto Yu may not have had this intention, but it was obvious that he wanted to take advantage of the buffer period to purchase enough aircraft from the West, so that when he went to war with the Principality of Montenegro again, he could turn from being passive to active, and take back everything he had lost, and then completely defeat the Principality of Montenegro and obtain large tracts of land from the Principality of Montenegro.
But the radicals do not have such a long-term vision. The fact that the "New Sun Society" uses the name of the New Sun Territory of Japan, which was once in the northern region, shows its ambitious ambitions.
As the chief figure of the Xianquan public affairs management agency, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is naturally the biggest traitor in the eyes of radical organizations such as the "Shinichikai". He is the pseudo-mayor of the Xianquan puppet agency and has become the person they most want to get rid of.
In fact, there is a serious ideological division in Japanese society today, and young people are divided into two major camps.
There were radical Greater Japanist organizations such as the New Japan Association, and there were also progressive groups that opposed Yamamoto Takeshi's authoritarian rule.
Among the various secret societies that opposed Yamamoto, there were also some radical societies that believed in using violence to overthrow Yamamoto's rule.
Putting down the photo of "Yasumoto Keiichi", Lu Ming pondered and said, "It should be difficult for the current Xianquan Police Station to unravel the hidden members of the New Day Society in Xianquan, but we still need to order them to strengthen the investigation and prevention, especially the residential areas of pro-China people like Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and we must do a good job of security."
Bai Yumeng nodded repeatedly. All the police officers below the sergeant major of Xianquan Police Station were Japanese police officers, but the senior police officers were all from Central China. The station chief, Lin Jianxin, had another secret identity. He was a member of the Special Work Department Committee and was Bai Yumeng's direct subordinate.
Lu Ming added: "We need to set up our special operations team as soon as possible. It's just right. Send a telegram to Kawamoto Shigeyoshi and ask him to select 500 more elite soldiers. Also, transfer Tang Cai Ni over to manage the intelligence development. Transfer Jin Buchuan over to be the operations team leader."
"Yes!" Bai Yumeng quickly recorded.
Bai Yumeng himself, Tang Cai Ni, and Jin Buchuan, they were all capable men when Governor Zhang was the director of the General Bureau of Security, and they were already in high positions. However, the interests of the Principality in Japan were of vital importance, and Governor Zhang had led the team personally, so they would have no complaints. Moreover, the Special Work Department in Japan is directly under His Royal Highness the Prince and is only responsible to His Royal Highness the Prince. The identities and status of the heads of various departments are naturally extremely special, which can be regarded as a promotion in a sense.
Lu Ming pondered and said, "Also, please arrange for me to go to the sub-bureau under the Xianquan Police Station to do some research. It is very important that the Japanese who work for us are of the same mind as us. I will go and take a look in person, not just to check on the police officers, but mainly to get a feel for the bottom line of all levels of Japanese people in Xianquan."
Bai Yumeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
…
Bai Yumeng was extremely efficient. The next day, Lu Ming used the pseudonym "Zhang Moyu" to become a police captain of the Third Branch of Xianquan Police Station. He was also the only low-level police officer from Central China in the entire Xianquan police system.
The police station has four branches. The third branch is in charge of an area in the old city with a complex social structure. It is now the settlement of many foreign immigrants. Over the past few months, a large shantytown has formed in this marginal area. It is very close to the new district, so it is very convenient to work in the old city or the new district. From the perspective of urban planning, management has been deliberately relaxed to leave such a place to absorb labor immigrants.
Because the public security here is poor and the population is extremely large, the Third Branch has set up a police station near the shantytown.
Xianquan Police Station implements the police rank system of the Principality of Montenegro, which includes police officer, senior police officer, sergeant, trainee inspector, inspector, senior inspector, chief inspector, superintendent, senior superintendent, chief superintendent, etc.
The chief of Xianquan Police Station, Lin Jianxin, holds the rank of superintendent.
As for the police station of the Third Branch, the person in charge is Inspector Gao Yi, two police captains, Yamamoto Choji and Lu Ming, and nine police officers.
Although they are both from Zhongzhou, Inspector Gao Yi obviously doesn't like Lu Ming.
Because this guy broke the unspoken rule that all Central Chinese people must be senior police officers, his sense of superiority was weakened at once, because a Japanese inspector-level police officer could command this guy, and he even mingled with ordinary Japanese police officers. He was really self-degrading.
I heard that he was a low-ranking officer in the Principality’s Xianquan garrison who made a mistake and was exiled here.
In the office, Gao Yi glanced at Lu Ming. He originally wanted to have a serious talk with him, but just a few words made him so angry that he was fuming.
This guy actually thought there was nothing wrong with going out to eat and drink with Japanese police officers.
Gao Yi picked up the cigarette box and lit a cigarette, puffing out smoke, "If you say so, then in the future you will be like the Japanese police officers, signing in on time at 8 o'clock every day, not allowed to leave early, and leaving get off work at 6 o'clock. At the same time, you will be arranged to take night shifts like the Japanese police officers." This guy originally only came for an hour every day, and his boss had also told them not to be too strict with him, it was just a transition period, and he might be transferred away one day.
"It should be said that they are the same as ordinary police officers, not Japanese police officers." Lu Ming said casually, but in fact, any ethnic group that becomes the ruler in a foreign land will have the same mentality as Gao Yi. He never thought of correcting the mentality of the Black Mountain people who came to Xianquan, otherwise it would just be high-sounding words, but in fact it would be impossible to correct it.
However, things like language need to be standardized so as to gradually create a stable atmosphere in which the Japanese, although aware that they are inferior to others, are more submissive and accustomed to this kind of life, and are proud to be part of the Central Continent circle.
In the past, Western colonial rule mostly formed this kind of balance, making the ruled grateful.
In fact, it is mainly at the grassroots level. It is true that the top level is controlled by the colonizers, but for the grassroots people, if their lives are more dignified than before and they feel free and fair, then they will not care who rules the top level. Everyone is just making a living. Life is getting better and better, there is a goal in life and channels for advancement, and there is dignity in front of grassroots officials. This may be the life that many grassroots people pursue.
The same goes for grassroots Japanese officials. They need to feel that they are participants in this system and are treated equally.
When we talk about police officers, we mean "Japanese police officers". In this case, these Japanese people will never really work hard for you.
Gao Yi frowned when he heard Lu Ming's words, but this language was indeed not standard. He had been trained before coming to Japan.
"Go ahead!" Gao Yi waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention to him.
