    "Self-rescue, how to save yourself?"

    Ma Ruxue looked at the boss across from him in surprise, who was shorter than his shoulders. In his understanding, Shimono Shizuo has always been the kind of person who is not afraid of anything. When he does bad things, he can almost be described as having no conscience.  But I have never seen words like "self-rescue" come out of his mouth.

    "Ma Sang, you don't know much about the rules of the Imperial Japanese Army. The Imperial Japanese Army advocates the spirit of Bushido. In our dictionary, there are only success or death. Although I was transferred to the Salt Bureau as the director, I still  I am under the direct jurisdiction of the front army, and collecting salt taxes and anti-smuggling are the tasks assigned to me by the front army. Now that my task has not been completed, it is almost a foregone conclusion that I will be held accountable!"

    Then Shimono Shizuo continued: "The Imperial Japanese Army has three types of punishment for officers who have not completed their missions. One is to be punished with meritorious service, the other is to be ordered to have a disembowelment, and the last one is to be sent to a military court for trial! And with our current situation  Given the situation, the possibility of making meritorious deeds is not high!"

    Ma Ruxue shuddered subconsciously. He was just an ordinary official of the former Salt Bureau. After the Japanese occupied Haizhou, they forced him to help manage the salt affairs. He knew nothing about the rules of the Japanese army.

    "Taijun, can you really kill people?"

    "Hmph, not only will people die, but many people will die. You should know how much money is involved in the 20% salt tax! Especially the money that is in short supply has probably fallen into the hands of the government. You should know what this is.  Nature!" Shimono Shizuo said in a deep voice.

    Ma Confucianism naturally knows the nature of this. This is "enemies". No wonder Shiano Shizuo is so panicked!

    "Then what should we do? How should we do the self-rescue you mentioned?" Ma Ruxue asked hurriedly.

    Shimono Shizuo walked back and forth in the room several times, and then said: "Now the salt tax deficit has become a foregone conclusion, and there is no way to change this, unless you are willing to take money from your own pockets to fill the hole!"

    "Taijunthis hole is really too big. Even if we fill in all the brothers' property, I'm afraid it won't be able to make up for half of the shortfall!" Ma Ruxue said with a grimace.

    "Since the hole cannot be filled, we must give the front army a justifiable reason!" Shimono Shizuo said solemnly.

    "Thiswe are just talking nonsense, why won't the higher-ups send someone to investigate?"

    "Baga, it's definitely not possible to talk nonsense. Let me ask you, are all the things you said before true?"

    "What?"

    "It's the armed escort of smuggled salt dealers. They have the background of the government army and are powerful. The anti-smuggling team is no match for them!" Shimono Shizuo said.

    "Of course it's true. The private salt dealers in the Huaihe and Huaihe areas have been a powerful gang of desperadoes since ancient times. This is something everyone knows. With the three or two thousand small fish in our hands, they are really not the same as the other party."  Opponent!" Ma Ruxue said hurriedly.

    "Then tell me, the reason why the anti-smuggling team cannot defeat those smuggling salt dealers is what's the difference? The troops or the weapons and equipment?" Shimono Shizuo asked again.

    "It is true that the military strength is somewhat insufficient, but three thousand people is quite a lot. The private salt dealers only send out a few hundred people each time, and they will not exceed a thousand people at most. The military strength is barely enough. The reason why I dare not go head-on with those people is  The main reason is that our weapons and equipment are so poor!¡±

    Then Ma Ruxue continued: "Taijun, the weapons and equipment used by our anti-smuggling team were all seized by the imperial army from the Chinese government forces. They are mainly made in Hanyang and have old sleeves. The rifling of most of the guns has been smoothed.  , the bullets are floating when fired. Moreover, there are no light or heavy machine guns or mortars, and there are not enough bullets. How can we fight with others with such equipment!"

    Shimono Shizuo nodded, knowing that what Ma Ruxue said was true.

    The role of the anti-smuggling team of the Salt Bureau is to maintain the production of salt mines and combat smuggling. They originally thought that the targets they would deal with were those unscrupulous people and smuggling salt dealers, so when they formed the anti-smuggling team, they specially selected the remaining members of the Imperial Association Army.  Down weapons.

    You must know that these weapons were all seized from the battlefield and used by the Chinese army. They come in all kinds of models. After being sorted by the Imperial Alliance Army, you can imagine the rest.

    After thinking about it again and again, Shimono Shizuo asked in a deep voice: "If you were given Mauser rifles, coupled with light and heavy machine guns and mortars, would you be confident in defeating those private salt dealers?"

    "have it"

    "Baga, if you have it, you have it, if you don't have it, you don't have it. What does it mean to have it?" Shimono Shizuo said loudly.

    Ma Ruxue was just a civil servant and had never been involved in marching and fighting before. He immediately fixed his sights on the captain of the anti-smuggling team, ChuXi Shan asked: "Pang Chu, you are a soldier and have fought in wars. Taijun said that if you give you guns and bullets, can you destroy those gangs of private salt dealers?"

    Anti-smuggling captain Chu Youshan thought for a while and said: "It is impossible to completely eliminate them. Since ancient times, smuggling salt dealers have been like crucian carp crossing the river. All dynasties have wanted to completely eliminate these guys, but have you ever seen any dynasty without smuggling?"  Salt dealers? But if we just suppress these salt gangs in the territory, it won¡¯t be a big problem!¡±

    "Yo Xi! Then I will prepare weapons and equipment for you now, while you seize the time to investigate the enemy's situation, formulate a combat plan, and strive to defeat those private salt dealers in one fell swoop!"

    "yes!"

    Shimono Jingfu stared at Ma Ruxue, Chu Youshan and others and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, today's matter is not only related to your future, but also related to the lives of us people, so no matter what you have privately with those private salt dealers,  Interests are entangled, but you must not let go this time, otherwise you will let go of the private salt dealer, but what you will lose is your own head and the lives of your family!"

    "yes!"

    ?????????? Afterwards, Shimono Shizuo waved his hand and asked Chu Youshan and others to prepare first, but left Ma Ruxue behind.

    After everyone left, Shimono Shizuo looked at Ma Ruxue and said, "Ma Sang, how many people in the anti-smuggling team have connections with those salt bandits!"

    "Taijun, this little one doesn't even know!"

    "Baga, do you think you can get away with it without saying anything? You are the deputy director of the Salt Bureau, and you also manage the anti-smuggling team. Nowadays, the salt tax deficit is millions. Who do you think has such a big fortune?"  Energy gives the green light to those private salt dealers?¡±

    Ma Ruxue's face suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat instantly flowed from his forehead!

    This is a heartbreaking statement. Shimono Shizuo clearly said that he was protecting those private salt dealers!

    In fact, this is indeed the case. Those private salt dealers have been cooperating with him privately, and a lot of money goes into Ma Ruxue's pocket every month.  And Ma Ruxue also relied on these black incomes to manage up and down, so that he could secure his position as deputy director of the Salt Bureau.

    "Taijun"

    "Ma Sang, I have no intention of holding you accountable. After all, you have paid a lot of tribute to me in the past two years. I know where the money came from, so I have no intention of holding you accountable."

    Hearing this, Ma Ruxue immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't settle the accounts later.

    However, at this moment, Shimono Shizuo changed his tone and continued: "But a deficit of millions is not so easy to close. Even if we kill a few salt bandits, it will be difficult to account for it!"

    "Taijun, what do you mean?"

    "Someone must be responsible for this!"

    "Responsible, you mean the scapegoat?"

    "Youxi, Ma Sang is a sensible person. In addition to destroying the smuggling salt bandits, we'd better introduce a few leaders of the anti-smuggling team. In this way, the nature of this matter will change!" Shimono Shizuo said.

    "changed?"

    "Yo Xi, if it is just an ordinary salt smuggling, it can only be regarded as an ordinary incident. Such a huge deficit can only show the incompetence of the two of us. But if this matter has a background of government forces  , and with the cooperation within the anti-smuggling team, the nature of this matter has become a vicious incident of infiltration by enemy agents, and the infiltration by enemy agents itself is a matter for Tesco and various intelligence departments, so our responsibility is much smaller, you understand  ?" Shimono Shizuo explained.

    Ma Ruxue is not stupid. He understood the twists and turns in his head and immediately said flatteringly: "Your Majesty is so wise!"

    "Don't be too happy too early. Whether this thing will work or not depends on how many salt bandits we can eliminate and how many traitors we can uncover at the same time. Do you understand?"

    "I understand, I wonder what Captain Chu is doing?"

    "Not enough, one Chu Youshan can't attract the attention of the front army headquarters!"

    "Then what are you going to do?"

    "Find out all the suspected officers of the anti-smuggling team, and then catch them all!"

    Seeing that Ma Ruxue's face was a little ugly, Shimono Shizuo said coldly: "Ma Sang, don't be merciful as a woman, or we will die!"

    Ma Ruxue gritted his teeth and said, "Okay then, I will give you the list of all officers who have colluded with the salt bandits!"

    "well!"
