Chapter 423

Yamamoto had lost a lot of weight,and in his kimono, his clothes hung as if on a hanger.

Lately, he had been very quiet.

But in secret, he had resumed contact with his old ministry.

It was all done in secret.

Every late night, he would send someone to leave quietly to meet with his old men, and after obtaining information, he would read it and burn it immediately.

Even the person delivering the intelligence didn’t know what was going on.

Only his trusted adjutant knew that Yamamoto suspected that there was an intelligence leak in the army, and that the person who leaked it was one of their own.

This really couldn’t be publicized.

What to do when this person was found was also simple.

He could only be executed privately.

The matter of leaking information must not be discovered!

The adjutant had been thinking in his mind for a long time, and he suspected that the leaked information had something to do with the Suzuki family that had been destroyed earlier.

Saburo Suzuki had disappeared, and his wife knew nothing about it. That woman was so incompetent to know nothing about the husband of the man on her pillow! She didn’t even know her husband had escaped.

The adjutant had been ordered to trace the whereabouts of Suzuki Saburo, and was able to confirm that he had fled to the United States, but it was difficult for the Japanese to operate in the United States, which had always been wary of Eastern faces, and the Japanese □□□□ did not have much power in the United States, and could not provide any useful help.

The adjutant could only hold down his murderous intent for the time being, take his time to find a suitable spy, and continue to track down Suzuki Saburo!

Yamamoto burned another piece of information, and the adjutant’s eyes were directed at the ground, not looking at the fading flames in the iron barrel.

Yamamoto cleared his throat and asked, “Lately, has there been any new intelligence on the streets?”

The adjutant hurriedly took out a report and said, “In the last few days, a new rumor has indeed been circulating at the docks,and it seems to be very important intelligence.”

He handed the report to Yamamoto.

Yamamoto opened it and read through it, and found that it was full of statements from dockworkers and laborers, the contents of which were a bit in the style of a novel, but very creepy.

He put away the report and asked, “Have you found the source of this rumor? It says it’s a few people who escaped, so where are these people? Where did they appear? Where were they last seen? Who are the family and friends? Are they dead or alive? Dead, where are the bodies? Alive, where are the people?” He stared at the adjutant, “Keep looking, dig out all their details!”

The adjutant immediately replied, “Yes!”

Yamamoto said seriously, “Keep pursuing this intelligence, and if there’s any progress, report it at any time!”

But the intelligence gathering did not go well.

It took the adjutant two days, and the drudges that were captured knew nothing about it, but every single one of them could tell the story in as much detail as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes, but when they were asked to name specific people, and asked to point out the home addresses of the characters in the rumor, or their friends and relatives, none of these people could tell them again.

At first, the adjutant thought they were just tough talkers, but after the torture remained fruitless, he began to suspect the source of the rumors.

But it wasn’t so easy to capture the drudges again.

The drudges have their own channels of information among themselves, and the dockworkers have been very wary of the Japanese lately.

When the adjutant captured the drudges again, he was surprised to encounter gang resistance.

Although they had encountered Chinese gangs attacking Japanese soldiers before, the Japanese army had an overwhelming advantage, they occupied the docks, were outnumbered and armed, while most Chinese gangs could only use their fists and feet or swords, they were underarmed, plus most of the drudges joined the gangs with the purpose of supporting their families, so all along, the Japanese army was able to get along with the drudges and gangs at the docks, that is, they encountered a Even in the event of a conflict, most of the laborers and gangs preferred to leave the matter alone and would not fight with the Japanese army to the death.

This time, however, it was different. The gangs gathered their manpower very quickly, and their confrontation with the Japanese army seemed too tough.

The adjutant came with only a small team and was soon surrounded. They had drudges in their hands who could be used as hostages, but these hostages did not cooperate at all, not only did they resist desperately, but after realizing that there might be no hope of rescue, they went so far as to shout at their own people, “Kill me! Come toward me! Kill me!”

As a result, they were actually killed by their own people.

After the hostages in his hands became ineffective, the adjutant quickly realized that he could not stay in the battle and had to break out as soon as possible.

After sacrificing four men, the deputy and the rest escaped.

Although the dockworkers and the gang were later reeled in and searched by the Japanese army, the unauthorized actions of the lieutenant himself were exposed.

This caused an uproar.

It was a fact that Kazuo Yamamoto had retired due to serious illness, and his replacement had been in place for a long time. Most of the officers in Yamamoto’s line had to cede power; only a few remained in their original positions, but they were also in a state of silence, and some of them had shown their submission to the man at the top and were considered to have changed sides.

Yamamoto Kazuo certainly had a tacit agreement with the incumbent in place, but that did not mean that he continued to meddle with the officers’ assignments, and it was acceptable for the serving officers to still take orders from Yamamoto Kazuo.

The man who succeeded Kazuo Yamamoto was, of course, very dissatisfied, and he saw this as a sign that Kazuo Yamamoto intended to overshadow him.

So he vigorously rebuked this unethical and disloyal behavior.

The adjutant was relieved of his duties and sent to the front with immediate departure.

Before this happened, the adjutant was interrogated, but he did not reveal that Kazuo Yamamoto suspected a leak in the army, which was considered his last act of loyalty.

However, the remaining officers of Yamamoto’s line who still remained in their positions were suppressed to varying degrees, and only a very few were still able to save themselves; most of Yamamoto’s officers were transferred out of this military region to other military regions.

Yamamoto Kazuo lost his intelligence sources and underestimated the situation in the military, and by the time he learned of the news, the tide had turned.

He really became a loner, except for a room full of hired Chinese bodyguards, only the Japanese maid at home still obeyed his orders.

Kazuo Yamamoto fell into a deep hatred.

He vowed revenge!

For the country that brought him humiliation.

Only victory can wash away the humiliation from him! He will be victorious, for the sake of the Empire of Japan, for his own sake, and for the sake of the fallen Japanese soldiers.

He came to Jinjuri’s room.

Her stomach had gradually grown, and at the same time, she had become even thinner.

Yamamoto walked in like a ghost, Jinjuri was lying on the bed, unable to move, she looked at this horrible man with fear.

Yamamoto: “Takako, now, everyone has betrayed me, tell me, will you betray me too.”

Jinjuri shook her head desperately in fear and scrambled backward on the bed.

There were obviously two other maids in the room, but they would just turn a blind eye to Yamamoto’s abuse of her.

Yamamoto: “Then, you will invite Zhu Yuyan to come and sit with us tomorrow. She probably won’t want to come over, but you have to be very sincere in asking her to come, only if she comes can she save you. If she doesn’t come ……”

Jinjuri shivered, her face full of tears, and kept shaking her head.

Yamamoto put his hand on Jinjuri’s belly.

Her belly was all stiff.

Yamamoto: “Your son, I have been very loving to you, shouldn’t you repay me. Ask your Chinese friend to come, if she cares for you, she will come. If she doesn’t come, then she is not worth your concern for her. She has a husband, a wonderful family, and you have nothing. She gets to sleep in her own bed in her own home every day, while your bed could have a different man in it every day.”

Ginger Julie screamed miserably, those horrible memories that she never wanted to remember again. What scared her the most was …… she was afraid that Yamamoto would still have people come looking for her now.

Yamamoto gently patted her stomach, “Let her come and sit as a guest or you will see two men here this time tomorrow, do you remember Kagome and Takashima? Did you like them? Oh, you don’t like right?”

Jinjuri’s teeth clicked together so clearly that she could even hear them.

She couldn’t make any response except nodding her head.
