Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 32 Raw Rice

  The gunshots rang out in the middle of the night and did not stop until dawn. At this time, the Japanese community was already surrounded by reporters and spectators, but they were all stopped outside the cordon by the police maintaining order.

The mayor of Sao Paulo and some government personnel also rushed to the incident area in the early morning. The mayor, Mr. Mokti Scalia, ordered the staff around him to appease the emotions of the citizens and reporters while rushing to the scene of the incident .

Mayor Scalia was very angry. The police did not communicate with the city government at all before taking action. He was also woken up from the bed by his secretary in the morning. Only then did he know that the Japanese community was surrounded by the police and launched an operation. The gunshots rang out. midnight. And he didn't know what happened, which made him very angry, so he didn't go back to the city government to work, but came to the scene angrily at the first time, wanting to question the chief of police what was going on.

  When I came to the scene and saw the corpses all over the ground, I was even more shocked, especially when I saw that many police officers were killed and injured. Seeing Police Chief Hodges and a group of police officers gathered around a living room, he broke in and said, "Hodges, what are you going to do? Why did you suddenly attack the Japanese community? It is difficult for your police to carry out such a large operation now." Don’t you need to report to the city government? Don’t forget, I appointed you as the director.”

   Director Hodges, who was checking the information stolen by the Japanese with the police, was startled when he heard the scolding behind him. Turning around, it turned out to be the mayor of Scalia, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. After all, this is his immediate boss, and he is also the chief of police appointed by him. This time, he really acted in a hurry and did not do well communicate. Hastily said:

"Mr. Mayor, this matter is really urgent. I was going to explain the situation to you early this morning after finishing it last night. However, something went wrong and all the original plans were disrupted. Come this way, please, and I will explain to you." He said, leading the mayor to a pile of evidence.

Mayor Scalia, hearing the words of Director Hodges, could only temporarily suppress the anger in his heart, followed him to the table, and saw that there were many things on the table, including radio stations, documents, some of which had been burned part.

"Last night, Captain Blackwell of the garrison came over and told me that a combat hero from the expeditionary force returned to our St. Espionage, their garrison originally wanted to take action. However, considering that Sao Paulo belongs to my jurisdiction, they can’t do it directly without passing through me, so they came to ventilate with me. But it was already very late at that time, and Mr. Captain and I wanted to avoid long nights and dreams. I don't have time to inform you, so I can only directly arrange manpower and start to attack these little Japans. It turns out that these **** from the Axis countries also have spies in our police station, so they discovered our actions in advance, and the surprise attack that was originally planned turned into a surprise. It became a strong attack, so it caused a lot of casualties among our personnel. It also allowed the two bosses to escape. I am really sorry, please punish me!"

  Director Hodges made a detailed report of the incident to Mayor Scalia. It's just that the matter of seeking justice for the fighting heroes has become that the fighting heroes suspect that the Japanese are engaged in espionage.

Mayor Scalia was shocked when he heard this: "These Japanese are engaged in espionage activities in Brazil. Do you have any evidence? The population of Japanese descent in our Sao Paulo is not small. You did it directly without actual evidence. At that time, it will cause strong dissatisfaction among the people, do you understand? Now the outside is already surrounded by citizens and reporters who want to know the truth, how do you ask me to explain the actions of your police.”

"Mr. Mayor, please see that the desktop is full of evidence we found from the Japanese Black Dragon Club Hall, as well as their high-power radio stations. These Japanese spies have stolen a lot of information, and many of them have been in the They were destroyed while resisting. From the materials we salvaged, we found the deployment map of our Brazilian navy and the timetable of the transport ships between us and the Americans. Obviously these people were active in Brazil for a very long time. It’s been a long time, and the penetration into us is so deep that even our police station already has their spies. Therefore, I want to use the escape of the two Japanese spies as an excuse to conduct surveillance on all Japanese descendants. Because The Black Dragon Society alone will definitely not be able to collect so much information, and I seriously suspect that there are a large number of Japanese in the entire Japanese community, providing information and cover for these spies."

"These damned Japanese really dare to engage in espionage activities in our Brazil, and even infiltrated the spies into the police station. How did you become the police chief? Someone has already entered your house, and you need someone to remind you Yes. I need you to give me a written report and have to get me the spies in your police station within two days. Now take all the evidence and come outside with me for a live press conference, we need Give the citizens an explanation." After understanding what happened, Mr. Mayor Scalia could only appease the citizens before finding trouble with Director Hodges.

   And when our Chief Hodges heard that he was required to find the spies in the police station within two days, he was a little numb! After all, solving crimes is not his job! There is no problem with flattery and corruption, but asking him to investigate the case is better than asking him to find a dead ghost.

  But the mayor gave the order, so he could only bite the bullet and go up. Soon the police led the reporters outside the Black Dragon Club Hall, and the mayor began to explain the espionage case in detail. From how long ago the police discovered the clues, how thorough investigations were conducted, and enough evidence was obtained, A surprise attack was launched on the spy dens, but because the spies had received strict training, the police paid a heavy loss.

   Affirmed the excellent performance of the police in cracking this major espionage case, and expressed their determination and confidence in maintaining the safety and stability of Sao Paulo. In the end, he condemned the espionage of the Japanese endlessly, expressed his indignation at all Japanese nationals providing convenience and intelligence to the Japanese intelligence agencies, and said that he would report to Mr. President and include the Japanese in Sao Paulo. Crowds are welcome. If it weren't for the fact that Brazil belongs to the Allies and Japan belongs to the Axis countries, the two countries are now in a state of war, and there is no embassy for each other, and they might have to go to the embassy to protest twice.

  Finally, he appealed to all the citizens of Sao Paulo to arrest the escaped spies, and promised that the city government would offer a reward of five thousand dollars to the two spies.

   Then, Director Hodges delivered a speech again. After almost repeating the words of the mayor, the director directly said, please pay attention to the Japanese around you, they may all be spies of Japanese spies. At the same time, it directly ordered the police station to implement a residential surveillance policy for all Japanese descendants until the end of the war.

  The reporters below looked at the evidence in front of them and the number of Japanese who exchanged fire with the police, and they were all indignant. In just one night, the Japanese in Sao Paulo would become unable to move an inch in Sao Paulo. I believe that after the fermentation of time, continuous newspaper reports, and high rewards offered by the city government, the Japanese will become street rats in Sao Paulo for a long time to come.

   And what happened here was completely unexpected to Fang Lang. He never thought that because of Colonel Teach's words, after Captain Blackwell who sent him home found the chief of police, things would develop into such a situation. However, Fang Lang is definitely happy to see such a situation.

  After dealing with the situation at the scene, Director Hodges met Captain Blackwell who came to look for him as soon as he returned to the police station. The captain had a general understanding of what happened last night. He regretted endlessly in his heart. If he had known that this organization was a spy organization, he would not have been so idle and let the credit for this achievement be given to Director Hodges!

   No matter what, we have to participate in it, but now that it's done, Captain Blackwell will see if Director Hodges will be a man. Even if he doesn't get credit, he still needs to get some practical benefits!

   "Director Hodges, I gave you such a big gift, I don't know how you are going to thank me!"

"Brother, I will never forget you about this kind of thing! Don't worry, I have reported this incident to Mr. Mayor. It is the anomaly you discovered. We started the operation together, because your people are soldiers, it's not good Those who come forward directly are all wearing our police uniforms, so don't worry, you must have a share of the credit."

  Hodges is suffering too! If it wasn't for the spies of the police station that let the Japanese get the wind in advance, if he had caught all these spies in one go, he wouldn't have shared his credit! However, because the spies escaped the two leaders and the operation leaked secrets, he was also worried that the credit would not be obtained by then, and the penalty would not be worth the loss. He had to drag Captain Blackwell and drag Mr. Captain on when he was writing the report. It is also a good choice to share the risk together.

  Although part of the credit may be shared, it is also very good to be able to share the risk, not to mention that this case was originally discovered by the captain who suggested that he teach the Japanese a lesson.
