Chapter 950 Matsui's Ruthlessness
"With so much going on, do you think this is going too far?" Matsui stared intently at Kagawa. "Or are you going to disobey orders?"
Kagawa said, "I don't think this is appropriate!"
"Baka! How dare you disobey military orders?" Matsui roared in anger, stood up, drew his sword, and slashed at Kagawa.
With a "thud," Kagawa's head was severed, and blood sprayed everywhere.
The other high-ranking officials in the conference room were stunned; none of them expected Matsui to kill someone in such a situation.
The Japanese high-ranking officials, realizing what was happening, felt their hearts clench at the sight of Matsui's ferocious appearance. After witnessing Kagawa's death, none of them dared to meet Matsui's eyes, fearing that he might swing his sword at their necks.
Matsui gently wiped the blade with a clean white handkerchief, and only after wiping away all the bloodstains did he sheath the sword.
He placed his sword on the table and slowly sat down. Seeing the expressions of the officers on either side of the table, he was pleased and said, "Starting at 10:00 AM, martial law will be imposed throughout the city. The military police and security police in each district will conduct a thorough search of residents' certificates of good conduct, including but not limited to foreigners and citizens of the Empire."
"At the same time, the intelligence agencies must also take action, arrest all enemy intelligence personnel whose specific addresses and identities have been obtained, interrogate them rigorously, and follow the clues to wipe them out in one fell swoop. I don't want any long-term plans or ideas to catch big fish anymore. The most urgent task is to crack down on their arrogance. The Empire can no longer tolerate these scoundrels running rampant in our territory!"
"Within three days, the main leaders of the Military Police Headquarters, the Police Department, and various intelligence agencies must report to me on the progress and results of the operation. Within a week, the entire jurisdiction must be thoroughly cleaned up. If any department fails to submit a perfect report to me, it will bear the consequences!"
"Regarding the garrison, strict checks must be conducted on the entry and exit of munitions and military supplies, as well as on all traffic intersections leading out of the jurisdiction. Training must also keep up, and each unit must report to me every Monday on training, combat, inspections, munitions and military supplies consumption, and inventory!"
"These are my orders. Who agrees and who disagrees?"
Everyone else trembled and dared not voice their objections, but Marine Corps Captain Colonel Yamada suppressed his unease and fear and looked at Matsui, saying, "Commander Matsui, we Marine Corps only obey the command of the Navy. Please forgive me for being unable to obey your orders!"
"Then you can die!" Matsui said, then drew his pistol and fired a shot.
There was a "bang" gunshot.
Marine Corps Colonel Yamada looked incredulously at the bullet hole in his chest, then tilted his head and collapsed.
The meeting room fell even more silent; no one dared to utter a sound.
“Lieutenant!” Matsui said.
The adjutant stepped forward: "Your Excellency?"
Matsui holstered his pistol and said expressionlessly, "Call the 137th Brigade and the Marine Corps and tell them that Kagawa and Yamada have openly disobeyed orders and have been court-martialed. Have the deputy brigade commander, Oda Heiji, and the deputy marine commander, Hengshan Yanji, come to headquarters to see me. If they don't come, the 137th Brigade and the Marine Corps will be considered rebels and will be mercilessly wiped out!"
"Yes, sir!" The adjutant stood at attention, bowed his head, and then turned and quickly walked out of the conference room to make a phone call.
Matsui turned to look at the other senior officers, a faint smile on his face, and asked, "Gentlemen, do you have any objections to my arrangements just now?"
The officers who were looked at by Matsui trembled, and none of them dared to be the first to speak.
Matsui immediately called out, "Captain Kono, what are your thoughts and attitude?"
Having been called out, Captain Kono had no choice but to stand up. Under the watchful eyes of everyone and the immense pressure from Matsui, he had to declare, "Commander, I obey orders!"
"Yoshi!" Matsui smiled with satisfaction.
He then looked at another person: "You're going to be the team leader for the next village? What about you? Do you have any other ideas?"
Sitting second from the left, Shimomura Teiichi trembled, looked up at Matsui, and found Matsui staring at him with a fierce glint in his eyes. A chill ran through him, and he stood up and said with difficulty, "I obey the Commander's orders!"
Matsui looked at Shibayama Shiro, the head of Umedo, and asked, "Chief Shibayama, what are Umedo and the Special Agent Headquarters thinking?"
Commander Chai Shan, sweat beading on his forehead, swallowed hard and stood up, saying, "Commander, you are the garrison commander. Although Mei Tang is not directly under the command of the headquarters, the headquarters still has an obligation to guide us. I agree with your decision, Commander!"
Seeing this, the senior officers of the other units and agencies knew that the situation had completely turned in Matsui's favor, and that to continue to oppose Matsui now would be suicidal.
They no longer needed Matsui to call them by name one by one; they stood up very consciously and took turns expressing their determination to follow Matsui's lead.
Matsui, pleased with everyone's performance, said, "Alright, since you all have no objections, go back and carry out my orders. I don't want anyone to be two-faced or not put in the effort. If I find anyone slacking off or thinking they can ignore my words because they have the army backing them up, I'll make sure they don't even have a chance to regret it, understand?"
"Hai!" All the senior officers stood up and stood at attention.
Matsui stood up, said "Meeting adjourned," and left.
After Matsui left, the other officers also gradually left the conference room.
After Captain Kono went downstairs and got into his car, he immediately said to the driver, "Drive!"
"Hayi!"
The car had just left the garrison headquarters when it was stopped by a man at an intersection.
Shibayama Shiro got out of a car parked on the street, walked to Captain Kono's car, opened the door, and got in.
Captain Kono turned to look at Shibayama Shiro with a mixture of suspicion and wariness, and asked, "Chief Shibayama, what do you want to do?"
Shibayama Shiro laughed and said, "Captain Kono, don't be nervous. I mean no harm. I just want to ask you, can you tolerate Matsui defecating and urinating on your head?"
Commander Kono frowned: "Chief Shibayama, you're being too harsh. Lord Matsui is the garrison commander. Isn't it normal for me to obey his orders and commands? It would be abnormal if I disobeyed his orders. I don't want to be court-martialed on the spot without even having the chance to go to a military court!"
"Chai Shanjun, there's no need to stir up trouble in front of me. Didn't you obediently express your obedience just now? If you had different ideas and opinions, why didn't you raise them in the meeting? Now you're just offering hindsight advice. I hate people like you who do intelligence and subversion work the most. Your hearts are all too dirty!"
