Chapter 1114 Who's Harming Us?
Okamura continued to smoke silently.
He could understand what Hirata Ichiro was saying, but he just didn't want to answer.
Finally, unable to bear Hirata Ichiro's nagging any longer, he raised his head and said, "Conscience, what is conscience? Only those who don't kill have a conscience, but look at what our empire has done over the years, does it have a conscience?"
Is conscience something that can buy him an apartment in Tokyo, a storefront, or even twenty gold bars? If the people of Tokyo, and the people in front of him, can boldly say they can, then he does have a conscience.
The problem is, these people won't give it to us.
If you don't give it to him, what's the point of talking about conscience? Aren't you afraid of dying young?
"We are invading, and invasion means slaughtering and exploiting the local people. If we really have a conscience, shouldn't we immediately withdraw from these places? Furthermore, the construction of the railway in the southern part of the mountain city should not have allowed prisoners to go there, where people are dying every day."
“A person who is completely dark-skinned comes up to me and says I'm dark-skinned. Don't you think that's ridiculous?”
These words made Hirata Ichiro take a deep breath. He admitted that he was almost convinced by this twisted logic.
Yes, if we're really talking about conscience, they would have already withdrawn, instead of fighting with others here.
"This is a bacterial bomb. You need to know what kind of person he is?"
“I don’t know what kind of person he is, but I do know that he’s not the kind of person who would use these things without a reason. He has poison gas, but have you ever seen him use it first? It was only because a bunch of us were ignorant.” Okamura said, throwing his cigarette butt on the ground and putting his hands on his hips. “To put it bluntly, from our business perspective, he is a man of integrity, at least better than many of our seniors.”
"A research institute that should have been shut down long ago, why has it continued to exist? It's one thing for it to exist, but then it was discovered. Now that this matter has been discovered, what, can't we let them prepare something to retaliate? Should it just stand there and wait for us to kill it?"
"You...you get out of here." Hirata Ichiro pointed to the door. What else could he say? He should just report this to Terauchi Hisaichi.
Filled with rage, Hirata Ichiro went to Terauchi Hisaichi, believing that Okamura was no longer fit to serve in the military.
If he's left here, no one really knows how many outrageous things he might do.
He went there with resentment, but once he entered Terauchi Hisaichi's command post, his resentment was instantly dispelled by the two people sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
Zhou Weiguo and his notoriously difficult wife—what are they doing here? Shouldn't they be with Okamura?
"Are you here to complain?" Zhou Weiguo asked, putting down his teacup.
Terauchi Hisaichi sat in his chair, glanced at him, and didn't say anything. To be honest, he hadn't expected Zhou Weiguo to bring his wife here, especially not in such a sudden way.
Thinking about what had happened in Tokyo, he guessed that the two men had come to make a deal with the 4th Division. As for what kind of deal it was, he didn't need to ask, nor did he dare to ask.
Upon asking, he worried that he might lose control of his thoughts and kill the two people.
He was restraining himself, but now, seeing Hirata Ichiro enter, the answer he wanted to know was already clear without needing to be asked.
"You really came here to buy that thing?" Terauchi Hisaichi looked at Zhou Weiguo and added when Zhou didn't speak; "That thing is just an experimental product, and its danger level is..."
After putting down his teacup, Zhou Weiguo smiled and said to Hirata Ichiro, "I believe that the division commander will give me a reasonable explanation, won't he?"
Nani?
Hirata Ichiro looked at Zhou Weiguo with a bewildered expression. He glanced at the seat next to him, walked over and sat down, asking, "What explanation can I possibly give?"
He claims he can get his hands on something, but is that even possible? Absolutely not. Those things are still experimental; he can't possibly get them from there.
Asaka Shurei chuckled; "We didn't kill those people from the research institutions. This gave you an opportunity to inquire about the technology. With the technology, you'll naturally have the ability to manufacture it, right?"
Ah this...
Terauchi Hisaichi and Hirata Ichiro exchanged a glance at Zhou Weiguo. Finally, Hirata Ichiro asked, puzzled, "Didn't you all hate this thing? You even went and skinned that whole family alive. How come now... you..."
He didn't know what to say.
“I’d rather keep our people alive for the New Year’s Eve dinner than use them as test subjects. But I’m less averse to using others as test subjects, such as people from Malacca or North Sumatra. I have no objection to them, since they’re not my own people. I wouldn’t feel bad if they died. Besides, I wasn’t involved in these things, so I don’t feel guilty.”
She's ruthless.
Terauchi Hisaichi and Hirata Ichiro were both chilled to the bone by these words.
How could such a person so calmly utter such cold and emotionless words?
“It will cause harm to people.” Terauchi Hisaichi shook his head from the side. He opposed this method, he had always opposed it, and he even opposed poison gas, but he was outnumbered and powerless, and no one listened to him.
Zhou Weiguo put down his teacup and chuckled; "Don't you feel guilty saying that?"
Terauchi Hisaichi fell silent. He seemed to indeed have no right to say those words, after all…
Hirata Ichiro took a deep breath; he didn't know how to persuade him anymore.
"If we can get something ready-made, then we don't need to do any research," Asaka Shurei said with a smile. She had given these two people a choice; how they chose was up to them.
"Let's talk about this later." Terauchi Hisaichi didn't dare to dwell on this issue any longer. If he continued to dwell on it, he probably wouldn't let go until he received a reasonable answer today.
He needs to find a topic to divert the two people's attention, otherwise today might not be a good day.
After thinking for a moment, he seemed to have come up with something to distract the two of them. He got up and went to his desk, then took out a document and handed it to Zhou Weiguo: "Compared to the bacterial bomb you're currently agonizing over, I think you should take a look at this now."
Is there anything more important than a bacterial bomb?
Zhou Weiguo thought it was impossible, but then he thought that Terauchi Hisaichi didn't seem to have any reason to hide it from him, so he reached out and took the document. After reading it, he immediately threw the document on the table and said, "That bastard is so shameless."
