Chapter 72 The Devil's Thoughts
Xiaolouzhuang, the Hu family courtyard, is now Kato's command center.
Hu Fucai's family lives in the backyard. They are now the only "free" residents in Xiaolouzhuang. The other arrested people are divided into two groups, male and female, and they are crowded in two houses and are under strict supervision.
Although Kato lives here, every time Hu Fucai walks into his own door, he still feels that he is the owner of the place. Since the rent reduction and interest rate reduction and reasonable burden, he feels that the land under his feet has shaken, and living at home is not stable. Now, he feels like he is stepping on a solid land.
To be honest, Hu Fucai was also afraid of the Japanese. When he heard that the Lugou Bridge had started fighting, he was so scared. When he first saw a Japanese plane, he shivered in a ball with his quilt. He originally wanted to take Jinyin and Sisou to Hankou to live in the French Concession, but he heard that the railway was bombed violently at the station, so he didn't dare to go out.
The world has changed. Not only the Japanese have come, but the mud-legged poles have also raised their heads. Hu Fucai has been in a conflict in his heart. He hates the Eighth Route Army because his former status was deprived, and his long-term workers and tenants have taken him seriously. He is also afraid of the Japanese devils, fearing that the Japanese devils will kill people without asking for anything.
After being caught, he was afraid to die, but Kato talked to him. He thought that he would feel much more at ease after understanding Kato's true intentions. Instead, he was surprised that Kato's thoughts and his hopes actually had great similarities.
After several days of running-in, Hu Fucai was a little restrained in front of Kato, but he dared to take some advice. Kato initially had a full "Tajun" airs, but now he is a little casual.
"Look. Ours has officially become an allies." Kato pushed the "Xinmin Daily" he had read to Hu Fucai and said with a smile.
The newspaper had a big letter titled "The Treaty of Japan-China Alliance" signed, and there were speeches from Hideki Tojo, Shigekimi Shigemitsu and Wang Jingwei.
Hu Fucai held the newspaper and read it carefully, thinking carefully about the words in the newspaper: "The Japanese state agreed that when the two countries achieve a comprehensive peace and end the war, the Japanese team sent to the whole country of China should be removed..."
"The imperial army still wants to withdraw?" Hu Fucai asked in confusion.
Kato smiled mysteriously and said, "Peace has come true, what are the Imperial Army still here to do?"
"GCD is a disaster for China. With them, the principles and ethics will be eliminated, and the seniority and the seniority will disappear..."
"The Imperial Army must eliminate GCD. Otherwise, there is still peace, but China also needs to work together." Kato explained: "Chongqing should also understand this meaning."
Hu Fucai was a little confused, but then he figured it out between the lines in the newspaper, "Chongqing should now reflect on it and restore peace."
A wonderful thought arose from Zhang Leshan's heart, and he boldly said: "Chongqing should not regard the imperial army as an enemy. Our common enemy is GCD. If everyone fought GCD together and worked together, things would have been no longer the same."
Kato was very happy to see Hu Fucai understand what he meant. He opened his hands and said, "Big Japan is the leader of Asia. People in Asia must follow us, drive the Soviet Union out of Siberia, and drive Britain and the United States out of the Pacific. Asia is the Asian Asian, and the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle is the meaning. Unfortunately, many people don't understand, Hu, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand." Hu Fucai nodded repeatedly.
"You understand, but they don't." Kato pointed outside, "The Imperial Army is fighting for wars all over Asia. People must understand this truth and work together. Mr. Hu, when we eliminate GCD, I will hand over this place to you. You can be the district governor and you can also be the county governor in the future."
Hu Fucai bowed repeatedly in surprise and said respectfully: "It's all up to Taijun to cultivate it, and I will definitely work hard for dogs and horses."
"Yaxi." Kato nodded and said with a calm face: "But, you know, those ordinary people have been poisoned so much! They are unwilling to serve the Imperial Army."
Hu Fucai thought about it and began to offer advice, "The people who fool the people only do not care about their affairs, but also rely on both kindness and power. This is the principle of educating the people since ancient times. First, let him be afraid, and then give him a way out, and there is no one who is disobedient."
Kato's two small eyes flashed with light, stood up from the chair and said, "Yes, Mr. Hu, your great man is capable. Some people only know how to burn and kill, but they don't know that they have to clean up people's hearts after burning and killing. Now we want to build a fortress and the people pay grain and taxes. No one can do it. Therefore, we have to recruit all the people who have run away and subdue the people we have caught now."
Hu Fucai blinked and said tentatively: "Most of the people captured by the Imperial Army are my tenants. As long as they promised them to rent my land, they will kowtow and thank you..."
Kato frowned, and Hu Fucai immediately stopped to see if something was wrong. Kato shook his head gently and said, "Mr. Hu, things are not so easy. Now we have caught too few people, too few, what are your solutions?"
Seeing that Kato was still using a negotiation tone, Hu Fucai felt a little relieved. Kato talked like a confidant, obviously he wanted to rely on him. The opportunity should not be missed! He thought carefully for a while and said, "It is temporary for the people to hide. Their houses are here, and the land they planted is here. After a long time, how can they stay in the deep mountains and forests?" After pausing, he said, "There is another method, that is, when the Imperial Army is dispatched to search for the people, they can bring a few caught people and let them shout. He said that the Imperial Army will not kill people, and let the people not hide. As long as they return to the village to be good people and live a good life, the Imperial Army will not investigate the past."
"Yaxi!" Kato nodded admiringly, patted Hu Fucai on the shoulder, and praised: "This method is great. If you call, you should choose the person who is honest, timid, and obedient. You understand?"
"I understand, understand." Hu Fucai's bones were soft and he nodded repeatedly, "I will definitely serve the Imperial Army and Taijun."
Hu Fucai walked out, Kato's eyes flashed for a moment, showing a contemptuous sneer. Although the Japanese need slaves like Hu Fucai, from the bottom of their hearts, they look down on boneless guys, which is really a contradictory mentality.
