Chapter 203 Trap
Major Yamada reported to Tada Jun again.
"General, I have not completed the task, please punish me." Major Yamada paused and continued: "Chen Qiang refused our invitation because he was injured by the Imperial Army bomber before and almost died."
Major Yamada reported the situation in detail, including the serious injuries on Chen Qiang.
"So that's the case. It's really a coincidence. He almost died at the hands of the Imperial Army. It is normal to have resistance to the invitation of the Imperial Army. It is understandable." Tada Jun sighed helplessly. He also knew that the Japanese army's actions in Nanjing aroused more Chinese resistance and blocked the road to negotiations with China in the future. Now he can only carry out the war to the end.
Major Yamada asked, "General, do we want to give up the recruitment of Chen Qiang? With the Germans protecting him, we cannot directly arrest Chen Qiang, and Chen Qiang is strongly hostile to us. If you continue, there will be no result."
Tada Jun picked up a telegram from the table and handed it to Major Yamada. At the same time, he spoke: "This is a telegram sent by the North China Front Army, you can see."
Major Yamada received the telegram, looked carefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "The North China Front Army is finally going south!"
"Yes, the North China Front Army will send troops to Shandong and Jiangsu to connect North China with East China." Jun Tada said.
The Japanese army that attacked Nanjing all landed in Shanghai and belonged to the East China Front Army. Although the Japanese army had occupied Nanjing and Shanghai at this time, Shandong and Jiangsu were still in the hands of China, and the Japanese North China Front Army and the East China Front Army were separated. Therefore, the next strategic plan of the Japanese army was to go south from the Pingjin area, occupy Shandong, Jiangsu, Hebei and Henan, and connect the occupied areas. The Taierzhuang Battle took place at that time.
"Yamada, China is too large and has too many populations. If we want to rule China, we must use some Chinese to control China." Tada Jun continued: "The North China Front Army has supported a Chinese interim government in Peking and is responsible for managing affairs in the Pingjin area. According to the instructions of the headquarters, a Central China dispatch team will be formed in Nanjing, and then a reform government will be supported in Nanjing, responsible for managing Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Nanjing. So we need more Chinese people to serve us. Chen Qiang is the person we need the most. If he is willing to surrender to the Imperial Army, it can destroy the will of many Chinese people to resist, and perhaps more effective than we recruit a few senior Chinese officials!"
At the end of 1937, the Japanese army supported traitors in Peiping and established a pseudo-provisional government to control the entire North China region. In March 1938, the Japanese army reused the same tricks and supported a pseudo-reforming government in Nanjing to facilitate the rule of the East China region. Later, after the establishment of the Wang Puppet Government, the pseudo-provisional government and the pseudo-reforming government were all incorporated into the Wang Puppet Government.
In other words, supporting traitors to rule China was implemented as early as the early days of the Japanese invasion of China. So Jun Tada hoped to recruit Chen Qiang and let Chen Qiang serve the Japanese army.
Major Yamada nodded: "General, I understand. I will continue to find ways to make Chen Qiang serve the Imperial Army!"
"Yamada, you have to know that people always have weaknesses. Sometimes when coercion and inducement are ineffective, you can start from the other party's weaknesses and control a person's weaknesses, and you can control this person." Tada Jun reminded.
...
Tada Jun’s reminder made Major Yamada feel like he was in a dark and bright way. He began to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Chen Qiang, hoping to find Chen Qiang’s weaknesses and make use of them.
However, the result disappointed Maj. Yamada.
A person’s weakness is nothing more than hobbies, family, temptations, etc.
There are many criminals who cannot withstand the temptation from the moment they are now going to the path of crime. However, Master Yamada has used this trick and has no effect on Chen Qiang.
As for family members, Chen Qiang is a lonely man, without parents, brothers and sisters, and no wife and children. The only person who can be regarded as Chen Qiang's relatives is Zhang Boling's family. However, after the outbreak of the July 7 Incident, Zhang Boling took Nankai University to take refuge. Now Zhang Boling is in Changsha and will move to Kunming soon. The Japanese army has not even taken Anhui yet, and Changsha is even more out of reach, so it is even more impossible to threaten Chen Qiang with Zhang Boling.
As for hobbies, Major Yamada investigated for a long time, but found that Chen Qiang's life was very self-disciplined, or very monotonous. He had no special hobbies except for normal work and training on weekdays. Major Yamada had no idea how to start in this regard.
Professional athletes are originally a group of extremely self-disciplined people. In the future, those professional athletes who have achieved great success will, during their careers, be like a machine that runs regularly, boring and boring.
The results of the investigation of Chen Qiang made Major Yamada feel deeply frustrated. Chen Qiang is not a perfect person, but a person with no weaknesses to exploit.
Just when Major Yamada was at a loss, he sent one of his subordinates who were monitoring Chen Qiang to walk in from outside the door.
"Is there anything unusual today?" asked Maj. Yamada.
"There is no abnormality. Chen Qiang is still staying at the German home, not coming out, nor seeing anyone else." His subordinate said and handed the surveillance report to Major Yamada.
Major Yamada opened the report and looked carefully. Suddenly, one of the messages entered Major Yamada's sight.
"A doctor has visited Chen Qiang at three o'clock in the afternoon?" asked Major Yamada.
The subordinate nodded: "That doctor went to visit Chen Qiang every other day."
"Have you investigated the situation of this doctor?" asked Yamada again.
"After investigation, this doctor is a German named Hans, an employee of Siemens, and also serves the German expatriates in Nanjing. Chen Qiang's entire rehabilitation process was the responsibility of this German doctor." The subordinate answered.
Major Yamada suddenly showed a hint of joy, and he sighed: "Since you can't find Chen Qiang's weakness, then create a weakness for him. This doctor is the breakthrough."
...
The next day, Grandpa Yamada found Dr. Hans.
Although Dr. Hans is also a German, he is obviously not as tough as Rabe when facing Japanese soldiers. He seems a little nervous and even more afraid. What the Japanese army did in Nanjing over the past month has made Dr. Hans deeply fear the Japanese.
Dr. Hans's fearful look when facing Major Yamada made Major Yamada understand that most of his plan had been successful.
"Doctor Hans, I know you have been treating Chen Qiang. I want to know how he is now?" Major Yamada asked.
Dr. Hans hesitated for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "Master Yamada, I'm very sorry, this involves the patient's privacy, and I can't disclose it to you."
"Doctor Hans, I know what you are worried about, but don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you." Major Yamada looked at Dr. Hans with a cold expression, and then said, "Doctor Hans, I hope you can cooperate with us, so that it will not harm you."
Dr. Hans sighed. Faced with the brutal Japanese army, he finally chose to compromise because of fear.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Dr. Hans said helplessly: "Chen Qiang was very injured. If it were someone else, he would have died long ago after being injured so much. It would be a miracle that he could survive."
"How long does it take for him to fully recover?" asked Maj. Yamada.
"Full recovery? Maybe half a year, maybe a year, maybe you will never be able to return to what you were like." Dr. Hans said.
"You mean, it will cause permanent sequelae?" Major Yamada continued.
Dr. Hans nodded: "The possibility is very high. In fact, even now, Mr. Chen is enduring the torture of pain. This is the only way to recover. This torture may last a long time to relieve it."
"Then how did you perform treatment?" Grandpa Yamada continued.
"I will help him change the medicine, but now his wound has basically healed, so there should be no need to change the medicine next time. In addition, I will prescribe some aspirin for him to relieve his pain, but it is difficult to get even aspirin now. After you occupied Nanjing, drug control was implemented. I think that in a few days, I can't even get aspirin." Dr. Hans said.
"Mr. Hans, if you met me earlier, you wouldn't have any such troubles. I can help you get the medicine you need." Major Yamada said.
"Really?" Dr. Hans' eyes suddenly shone. As a doctor, he certainly hoped that there would be more medicines that could save more patients.
"In addition, I can also get you some special painkillers to help Mr. Chen Qiang relieve pain!" Major Yamada paused and continued: "For example, morphine..."
When Dr. Hans' expression changed when he heard "morphine". Now it is a war period, and morphine is a military supplies that ordinary people cannot get.
During World War II, morphine was used extensively by military doctors from various countries as the most direct painkiller. Among them, American medical soldiers could inject morphine directly into the wounded soldiers on the front line, and the first aid kits carried by the US soldiers were also equipped with morphine. Later, there was a movie called "Hacksaw Ridge". In addition to running with people on their backs, the protagonist in the story was to give the wounded a shot of morphine.
However, other countries do not have as strong logistical support as the United States. Even the well-equipped German army, morphine is not easy to obtain, and the British and Soviet army have always lacked medicines. As for Japan, its industrial capacity is not as good as that of Germany and Western countries, morphine is even less rare, and it is basically a critical time to use one.
As a doctor, Hans naturally knew what morphine meant. He knew how precious morphine was in Nanjing at that time, but he also knew that morphine would be addictive!
Major Yamada continued: "Mr. Chen Qiang is an excellent athlete, and the Imperial Army has always admired Mr. Chen very much, so we hope Mr. Chen can recover as soon as possible. In this regard, we have a common purpose. It is a good thing to relieve Mr. Chen of the pain. Dr. Hans, please do not reject the good intentions of the Imperial Army."
...
After leaving Dr. Hans' residence, Major Yamada showed a smug smile on his face.
Major Yamada will of course provide Dr. Hans with the medicine he needs, including morphine for pain relief.
However, the morphine provided by Masao Yamada is not ordinary morphine, but a more addictive morphine.
This morphine was specially made by the Japanese army for the intelligence department. The purpose is not to relieve the pain of the wounded, but to allow the tortured person to last longer.
Now, Yamada Shao wants to use this morphine on Chen Qiang. Once Chen Qiang becomes addicted to morphine, it is equivalent to having weaknesses. In Nanjing City, where drug control is controlled, only Japanese can provide morphine to Chen Qiang. By that time, in order to get morphine, Chen Qiang will naturally cooperate with the Japanese obediently!
...
This night, Chen Qiang slept very comfortably. He slept until dawn and no longer felt the needle-like pain in the injured area.
For several days, Chen Qiang felt that his mental state was very good and even felt a little excited. Chen Qiang, who was no longer suffering from pain, recovered much faster. Not only could he get out of bed and move freely, but he could even do some simple exercises.
Chen Qiang felt that he was getting closer to full recovery.
However, gradually, Chen Qiang discovered that he had symptoms of tinnitus, occasionally he became a little manic, and would involuntarily grind his teeth on weekdays, and some mild ulcers appeared in the oral mucosa.
When exercising, his body coordination is much worse, and his bones and muscles always feel sore, making it difficult for him to concentrate and his memory decline.
Chen Qiang felt that this was probably due to the sequelae after the injury and would gradually recover.
One day, Chen Qiang looked in the mirror while taking a shower, but found that he had lost a lot of weight.
Because of the injury, Chen Qiang had lost dozens of pounds of weight. However, now Chen Qiang found that he was even thinner than when he was able to get out of bed and walk.
"What's wrong. My body is about to recover. These days, my activity volume has increased and my appetite has increased. It's said that I should gain weight, so why can I get thinner and thinner?" Chen Qiang looked at himself in the mirror, puzzled.
As Chen Qiang recovered, Dr. Hans came less and less often, and painkillers were used less and less. However, Chen Qiang developed symptoms such as insomnia, sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., and sometimes inexplicable feeling of collapse.
Chen Qiang could feel that his physical condition was a little bad, but Chen Qiang didn't know where the problem occurred. There was no similar record of the exercise rehabilitation knowledge he knew.
...
Major Yamada came to visit Chen Qiang again.
I haven't seen this Yamada Major for many days. Chen Qiang originally thought that the Japanese had given up, but now it seems that the Japanese are still trying to recruit Chen Qiang.
Chen Qiang was still too lazy to nag with Major Yamada. He asked directly: "Master Yamada, what's wrong with you coming to me this time?"
"This time I came here, I specially prepared some gifts for Mr. Chen." Major Yamada said, took a box and pushed it closer to Chen Qiang.
"Then I'll accept it!" Chen Qiang accepted the gift with the Japanese's advantage, not taking advantage of it, and not taking it for nothing.
Major Yamada smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, this gift is a bit special. I don't know if you like it, so please open it now and take a look."
Chen Qiang was slightly stunned. He felt sensitively that what Major Yamada gave him was definitely not a good thing.
Chen Qiang opened the box and saw a row of injection-like things.
"What is this?" Chen Qiang asked subconsciously.
"This is a special morphine made by the Imperial Army. It is specially prepared for Mr. Chen, which can relieve the pain on Mr. Chen's body." Major Yamada said.
"I don't need this." Chen Qiang shook his head.
Of course Chen Qiang knew that morphine was a military supply, and this box of morphine was definitely priceless. Chen Qiang would never dare to touch drugs. Moreover, in recent times, the pain on Chen Qiang's body has been much lighter.
"Mr. Chen, don't rush to refuse first." Grandma Yamada smiled evilly, and then continued: "Mr. Chen has been using the morphine we provide recently, and it's good to have the effect?"
Major Yamada's words changed Chen Qiang's face.
Chen Qiang suddenly remembered the various symptoms he had appeared on himself in recent times, such as tinnitus, mania, incongruent movement, soreness in musculoskeletal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, sudden weight loss, etc. These are all symptoms of drug addiction!
"The Japanese have given me a drug!" Chen Qiang suddenly became panicked. He didn't expect that he would defend day and night, and eventually fell into the trap of the Japanese.
