Zuo Xiehezhong looked in their direction, and in a pit under the mountain stream, there were clearly only two colors left, the black and rotten corpse, and the rugged white bones, with several black goshawks hovering in it. They kept flying down and pecking at them, and an unbearable stench drifted over with the wind.

Zuo Xiehezhong's eyebrows raised unnaturally, and he clenched his palms together tightly. In this noisy environment, he could even hear the crackling sound of his joints.

The director of the Akigami Consortium here quickly ran over. He was a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears. In Japan today, such a figure is rarely seen. It seems that even though he lives in a ravine, this person is called a long man. Ozunosuke's life is still pretty good.

For mining, the trees on the entire hilltop were cut down, so the hillside was under direct sunlight without even a small patch of shade. Nagao Sanosuke had already ordered his men to set up a huge pergola to greet everyone. Go and enjoy the cool weather.

After drinking two glasses of ice water, Otani Kazuya's expression softened a little, and gradually turned red, "Sanosuke, how did you do this? You actually piled the corpses next to the mine. You are deliberately trying to prevent this." I’m going to have my meal.”

Sasuke and Naka did not speak, but looked coldly at Nagao Sanosuke's expression. The chief officer of the Japanese army stationed at the mine was a lieutenant, and at this time, he did not appear.

Nagao Sanosuke chuckled, his round waist bent down like a fat lobster, "Master Otani, you don't know something. These workers are all soldiers in China. Before we took over, it was Mitsui Trading Co., Ltd." In charge, I heard them say that since these people came to Japan, they have never stopped. They are either going on strike or gathering in crowds to make trouble. Over the years, they have killed many people before the situation has been stabilized. These people are whipped. Sticks and sticks are trivial, only bayonets are good medicine."

Nagao Sanosuke said without hesitation: "Putting the corpse beside the mine is also a deterrent to these people. With these lessons learned, they are much more honest. Besides, the imperial army is spreading across China. Maybe after a while Time will bring over another group of people. The life and death of these people is not worth mentioning. They only have one meal a day and six hours of rest. Those who cannot hold on will die and are not worth mentioning."

"Haga." Sasuke and Naka jumped up from the horse, jumped to the side of Nagao Sanosuke and slapped him twice. The clear sound shocked everyone around him, and they nodded and stood outside the pergola. The head supervisor was dumbfounded, and even Otani Kazuya was stunned.

Nagao Sanosuke's face was already full of fat. Except for the five extra fingerprints on his fair face, it didn't appear to be very red or swollen. He was slapped twice by Sasuke and Chu, but he didn't dare to make any mistakes. , I had to take two steps back and apologize repeatedly.

"Asshole." Sasuke Kazuchu pointed at Nagao Sanosuke and cursed, "Short-sighted guy, don't you understand the current predicament of the empire at all? These labors are consumed one by one. How can the imperial army be so... It is easy to replenish it regularly. The Zhufeng Coal Mine is responsible for delivering a quota of coal to the empire every month. You have killed and maimed all the people. Where can you find so many unpaid laborers? There is really no way. When people go to work, your Nagao Sanosuke and the supervisor will help me."

What Sasuke Kazuya said made Otani Kazuya on the side think it was true. Just now, he thought that Sasuke Kazuya was new to the coal mine, and he might have used Nagao Sanosuke to operate on him to establish his prestige. Now it seems, This young man has indeed seen clearly. At this point in the war, the imperial army has shrunk on all battlefields, and the number of prisoners of war in its hands has become less and less. The navy's vitality has been seriously damaged. How can it still deploy ships and ships at this time? Manpower is used to transport labor, and the country is devastated. It is bombed by the US Air Force during the day, and there is a curfew at night. Women have become the main force in factories and fields. Who is willing to work in the coal mines? The labor in the mines is exhausted. The coal mine is about to come to a standstill. Who will take the responsibility?

"What Chief Sasuke said is right." Otani Kazuya and Nagao Sanosuke knew each other, so they had to say a few words at this time, "Nagao, you idiot, you are really hopeless, you are so fat The flesh is really wasted."

"Yes, yes." Nagao Sanosuke nodded, "Please ask Master Otani and Section Chief Sasuke to testify, and we will make corrections immediately."

"Improve the conditions for the workers." Kazuya Otani glanced at Sasuke and Naka. Seeing that he had no objection, he continued, "Increase one meal a day and increase the amount of food to ensure that they have enough physical strength to work. live."

"Also." Zuo Xiehezhong added: "We also brought doctors and medicines this time, and organized all workers to take turns to receive physical examinations. Those with serious injuries and conditions will rest for a period of time. In this situation, everyone Laborers are precious resources. Lazy work, deliberate strikes, and provoking troubles can be severely punished, but workers are not allowed to be whipped at will."

"This, this..." Nagao Sanosuke seemed a little hesitant and looked at Otani Kazuya.

"If you have something to say, just say it and don't hesitate." Kazuya Otani agreed.

"Chief Zuo Xie doesn't know. The Chikuho Coal Mine is jointly managed with the military headquarters. There are also guard troops led by Lieutenant Colonel Mizuno stationed here. We can follow the requirements of Section Chief Zuo Xie, but the soldiers of these garrison troops Once the officers and officers want to beat and punish these Chinese workers, we have no choice."

"That's right," a loud voice suddenly came from outside the pergola, "We are a troop affiliated with the Kumano Division and do not accept the command of merchants."

A short man with a beard walked into the pergola, his walking posture was a bit strange, his legs seemed to be a little short, and he was dressed in a straight summer uniform of the Japanese local army. His two triangular eyes immediately stared at Zuo Xie and Zhong.

"Kumano Division." Sakyo Kazuchu sneered, "It's just a newly formed division stationed in the mainland, but it dares to use the name Kumano Division. The real Kumano Division, which is the Sixth Division, is still in Nanyang. There is a bloody battle on the battlefield, may I ask where you came from."

"I..." Mizuno was speechless for a moment. He was originally a farmer, and Japan's military resources were tight. He was also recruited into the army, but he only stayed in the Kwantung Army for two years. Later, he injured his right leg and became disabled before being transferred back to the mainland. Becoming an officer in Kyushu's new division, it has been more than a year since I came here. Mizuno didn't expect that a businessman would know so much about the army's establishment. Kumano Division is the unique title of the Sixth Division. This division's Most of the soldiers came from the mines and lumberjacks in the deep mountains of Kumano and were known for their bravery in combat. However, except for the division headquarters in Kumano, the newly formed division where Mizuno was located actually had nothing to do with the Kumano division. This name is just for showing off.

"Haga." After being scolded by Sasuke and Chu, Mizuno suddenly became angry. In Japan, businessmen cannot be compared with samurai. Sasuke and Chu's scolding without mercy made Mizuno feel that he had lost face in public. He immediately drew his katana.

However, he held the knife in the air with both hands, but it never came down. Mizuno maintained a chopping posture, but his body froze on the spot. After a while, cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

Sasuke and Naka didn't even look at him. He took out a lighter with his left hand and lit a cigarette in his mouth. "Zhongsa Mizuno, do you have any objections to me?"

Mizuno suddenly stuttered. The two years he spent in the Kwantung Army coincided with the Battle of Nomonkan. The Japanese army was defeated by the Russians. Now, Mizuno still knows that he is just a farmer when he wakes up from a nightmare. , he had never seen such a cruel and bloody battlefield. From then on, he had a deep fear of the battlefield. Returning to his homeland, the comfortable life made him feel comfortable, and his experience in the Kwantung Army became something he showed off. of capital.

"I, I, I..."

Zuo Xiehezhong thrust his right hand forward, and everyone immediately felt the coldness of the pistol in his hand, and suddenly they were shocked.

Sasuke Wachu held a Nanbu pistol in his right hand, and the muzzle of the gun was pressed just below Mizuno's lower abdomen, between his legs.

Sasuke and Kazuno glanced at him contemptuously, put the lighter into the pocket of his trousers with his left hand, took out a green certificate, opened it and placed it in front of Mizuno, "I advise Mizuno, Kazuno, to follow my orders. Otherwise, you will be the one leaving Zhufeng Coal Mine, and it will definitely not be me."

Otani Kazuya suppressed his laughter and hurriedly came up to smooth things over. He knew very well that Sasuke Kazuya came this time not only as the head of the consortium, but even the department in charge of mineral resource rationing at the General Staff Headquarters had personally issued an order. Otani Kazuya I don’t know what route Long Sheng found to obtain such authorization. Anyway, Zuo Xiehezhong is now both the section chief and the inspection commissioner assigned by the General Staff Headquarters. In the Zhufeng Coal Mine, this power can be snatched by life and death. Mizuno, The lieutenant colonel of a small local army wanted to show off his power in front of him, and he was simply impatient.

"Two, two." Kazuya Otani came up to break up the fight with a smile on his face, but he snatched the katana from Mizuno's hand first, "The military and the consortium sent us here, hoping to complete the share of coal supply as soon as possible. The Imperial Holy War is now at a critical moment, of course we must work together, it’s just a small difference, we can’t get into such a tense situation, don’t you think so, Lieutenant Colonel Mizuno?”

Mizuno looked at the gun barrel in his crotch, then at Otani Kazuya and Sasuke and Naka. He quickly stood up straight and saluted Sasuke and Naka, "Your Excellency, I offended you. I'm really sorry. Please punish me."
