Section 4 General Kato's Loyalty
Ten minutes before Mao Yuanshan passed, these Japanese soldiers ended their party, and everyone cleaned the hall. This was not what Mao Yuanshan wanted to see. When Mao Yuanshan stepped into this hall, he saw more than a dozen Japanese officers standing straight. Although they had already stood up straight, their height was really strange. Compared with the Chinese officers next to him, there was probably a big difference. Mao Yuanshan held back his smile. This era was different from the 21st century. At least at that time, the height of the Japanese people increased a lot. But in this era, Mao Yuanshan, who was 1.8 meters tall, was like a giant. When he patted their shoulders, it was like a little monkey. There was no way to do that. Who made the Japanese people not tall at this time?
"Dear Commander-in-Chief, welcome you to the Middle East..." A leading lieutenant general said that among the Japanese mercenaries, there are many generals, but these generals are not very valuable, and there is no way to compare with the Chinese army. Just like General Dai Anlan, he made so many contributions in the Middle East, which can be said to have made great contributions to the country, but in the end he was just a major general. With the brand of Major General, General Dai Anlan was already very satisfied. When he usually handed over to mercenaries, let alone mercenary generals, what if he was a mercenary general? They didn't salute obediently, and some lower-level officers in China did not take the mercenary generals seriously.
"Commander-in-chief, this is the highest commander of the Japanese mercenaries in the local area. This is General Kato. He led the Ninth and Tenth Army. These two armies have six divisions, both of which are the most powerful A-level divisions and have made great contributions in the Middle East. Before, when I first arrived here, they were the Arabs who went to clear out the Arabs. The combat effectiveness of the Arab cavalry was still very high. The British also suffered a lot here. The British established one defense after another, but they were eventually broken through by these Arab cavalry. We also encountered difficulties at that time, but it was Lieutenant General Kato who solved it. Lieutenant General Kato personally went to the battlefield, led 50,000 Japanese mercenaries, and solved 60,000 Arab cavalry. It can be said that it was a very good result." General Dai Anlan introduced next to him.
Although Mao Yuanshan was in China, he basically heard from the people of the General Staff that the Arab cavalry were not only waving their scimitars, but also riding rifles in their hands, and those fired bullets. During World War I, they also received a lot of military assistance. When the British retreated, they gave them all the weapons in the arsenal, so their armed forces were still good. If the Chinese wanted to attack, they would have lost at least about 8,000, but they handed over this job to the Japanese. The Japanese paid the lives of 14,000 soldiers and finally put the Arab rebellion. It can be said that it was very good. In the history of Japanese mercenaries, it was also possible to make a move.
"Captain Dai has really exaggerated. As a member of the Japanese mercenary, we are to eliminate all the rebels for the commander-in-chief. Although there are some rebels in the local area, we have never relaxed our work. We will go out to clear them every day and shorten their bases to a certain range. We have formulated strict rules and regulations and will never let them develop them. At the same time, we have also trained a group of our people among the Arabs. They have formed local police and some detective teams. They cooperate with us to complete various tasks. In recent days, we have arrested thousands of rebels. This work may continue. After all, spies from the US and British Allied Forces will give them some support." General Kato said modestly.
General Dai Anlan was very clear about their later tasks. He nodded slightly from the side. They were doing very well. The Chinese were very good at attacking on the battlefield. If they were to rule the colonies, they might not be as good as these Japanese. The Japanese established various systems, including the gendarmerie and the police station, each responsible for their own affairs, so that the Arabs had no room for growth. Even if the Arabs wanted to form their own army, they probably could not avoid these two institutions. In addition to these two institutions, they were traitors within the Arabs. Under the coercion and temptation of the Japanese, traitors continued to appear in the Arab camp. Under the betrayal of these traitors, several armed actions of the Arabs failed, and the opposition suffered heavy losses.
"Thank you for your hard work, including all the officers under your command, let's have a drink together. North Africa is a relatively quiet colony. You have spent the shortest time to pacify this place. I admire you very much. At the same time, I remember this. You will appear in the newspaper tomorrow. The reporter is waiting outside the door. When we finish this glass of wine, please show your most handsome look. The Nanjing Daily reporter will take a very handsome photo for you. This photo will be distributed in all areas occupied by China. At that time, everyone will learn from you. You will become a role model for Japanese mercenaries, or even the entire mercenaries. I hope you can continue to work hard in the future and maintain local public order with our army." Mao Yuanshan can be said to be perfect in this regard.
In just a few words, these guys fooled them. These guys completely forgot how they won. When they won, they were corpses after corpses. These people were their brothers, but now they all turned into souls. For Lieutenant General Kato, those people are not very precious. Even if tens of thousands of people die, as long as they can be recognized by the commander-in-chief, it is very worthwhile. Besides, they can be published in newspapers and almost become stars. They think this is their glory. In fact, for Chinese people, it is just a daily newspaper for a day, and they will not give you a large page. They may find you a page in a certain corner, which is also considered your page in newspapers.
