Chapter 692: Resistance also requires a leader. But they didn’t
What is Annam? It is a French colony.
For the local people, the legal policy is exploitation. In this situation, there is only ruthless suppression and counter-suppression. I am afraid they do not have the idea of living and dying for this place.
Even if there were, who in the Empire would protect them?
One of the reasons why Zhou Weiguo was able to get away with it was that when he was causing chaos in the Tokyo Military Academy, he was actively building connections for himself and used the money given by Shancheng to bribe many people.
After the war broke out, his early performance and his later shift to psychological tactics to manipulate human nature were also very well-reasoned.
Psychological warfare is easy and difficult to fight. Under the same conditions and advantages, if you replace someone else, he will not be as good as Zhou Weiguo.
"What else is going on?" Nanzō Yunko took out a cigarette and lit it and asked.
"According to the news, Xiao Ya and Takeshita Shun's team does not seem to be with the independent regiment, and their exact whereabouts are unknown. In addition, Alice, who came from Berlin with the second uncle, is also not here."
None of you here?
Nanzō Yunzi lowered her head and pondered for a moment before smiling. "This isn't the first time they've been the first to seize the silver and money. If our guess is wrong, they're probably already robbing Annan right now."
The apparent robbery took place a few days later, and at this time, the Nakamura Brigade was advancing at full speed and had already entered their important town in the north, Hecheng.
River City also failed to escape the clutches of the Nakamura Brigade. The entire brigade was given a three-day holiday.
The entire river city was engulfed in flames, and the thick smoke from the burning obscured the sun in the sky behind the clouds.
In the dense forest halfway up the mountain outside Hecheng.
Yesterday, one could still hear the heart-wrenching cries and shouts of killing in the city, but today, they are gradually no longer heard.
Xiao Ya, wearing emerald green trousers, fiddled with the distinctive wooden hat and looked towards the river city in the distance where flames were rising into the sky.
She took a breath, and the air was filled with the smell of barbecue.
The Nakamura Brigade, having learned their lesson, did not leave any evidence against them. Instead, they dragged the bodies out and burned them. The sky above the river outside the city was covered with a thick layer of grease.
In some places, the thick grease even caught fire.
"I'm afraid the prosperous River City won't be able to recover in a few decades." Xiao Ya put on her hat, then took the mosquito repellent perfume handed to her by Alice and sprayed it on herself before saying to Alice.
Alice has gone from being shocked by the Japanese massacre at the beginning to being indifferent to the smell of barbecue in the air.
She took the bottle and looked towards the city below. "Madam, if the Japanese army does this, aren't you worried that they will rebel even more fiercely?"
Revolt?
Xiao Ya smeared the spices on her hands and smiled bitterly. "Resistance requires an organizer, and even more importantly, a spiritual pillar that isn't afraid of their slaughter. Unfortunately, they don't have any at the moment."
The Japanese army is not what it seems. If you don't oppose them, they might go easy on you, but if you fight back, they will turn this place into a no-man's land.
Especially Masao Nakamura, who suffered a brutal attack from Awen. Whenever he thought of the humiliation his brigade suffered in Guangxi, he would use all his strength to vent it on this group of people.
Because when it is impossible to find the person involved, bullying someone who is easier to get can indeed give people satisfaction, but it is just a kind of satisfaction.
"Without even an organization, what can they use to resist?"
Alice nodded in agreement and asked, "That's right, ma'am. Where should we go next?"
"Let's go to Wa City. That place is an important city for perfume production here. It's called the City of Spice and the Little Perfume City."
Three days later, Xiao Ya arrived in Wa City and, with the assistance of Shigeru Miyamoto, entered the only relatively stable hotel at the time.
This hotel was run by Americans, and the Japanese army did not declare war on them.
"Where is my senior brother?" Kobayashi Keiko looked around. The foreigners who came out here with panicked looks were whispering to each other, but she didn't see Takeshita Shun.
"Madam." Shigeru Miyamoto leaned slightly to the side and bent down.
Kobayashi Keiko and Takeshita Shun had already gotten married in Changsha, and of course Zhou Weiguo, Xiao Yanan, Zao Mingzi, and Asaka Hiderei also got married with them.
This was a simple wedding hosted by Chief Bai, with not many guests present.
Everyone said that when the Japanese army was defeated, if everyone was still alive, they would have a grand wedding.
"The captain, along with Xu Hu, Liu San, and the others, extorted some money from these merchants here and realized that similar situations were occurring in other cities. Therefore, he has already led his men out and has instructed his subordinates to wait here and protect the lady."
There was only one person present who truly needed protection, and that was Alice, who had never been in actual combat or even killed anyone. The others, even Xiao Ya, had experienced many actual combats.
Xiao Ya smiled and pointed at Alice and said to Miyamoto Shigeru, "Just protect her first. By the way, have you found the excellent perfume designer and blender I'm looking for?"
If you are going to find something, find the best. This was the plan Xiao Ya proposed in Beibu Gulf.
It was impossible for her to take all the talents away, so she could only select some outstanding top-level perfume blenders.
"We've already identified a few targets, but their bosses are also in this hotel. They're very kind to them, so it's probably going to take a long time to persuade them."
Xiao Ya walked forward slowly for a distance and then stopped; "Then let's deal with it."
"Yes, I'll arrange it later." Shigeru Miyamoto nodded and went to the front desk, opened rooms for the three people, and then went to do his business.
Xiao Ya came all the way here and was exhausted. After taking a comfortable shower and changing into dry clothes, she dried her hair.
There was a knock on the door.
Alice opened the door and saw that it was Shigeru Miyamoto. She turned on the light and let Miyamoto in.
Miyamoto Shigeru came over to Xiao Ya who was eating and bowed slightly. "Madam, it's all taken care of. What do you think? Should we go meet those two people?"
Xiao Ya put down her bowl and nodded. "Well, let's go and meet him. The Japanese army is about to march south. We need to move faster, otherwise we won't be able to take them away."
"Madam, let's take these two people." Alice asked from the side.
Xiao Ya shook her head; "Of course not, these two are the focus, as for the others..."
Miyamoto Shigeru immediately took out a list: "Madam, here is the list of people who can make perfume. Apart from these two who are the most famous, the rest..."
Xiao Ya took the list, glanced at it, then put it aside and said with a smile, "Don't worry about the rest of the people, someone will persuade them for us.
