Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 910: Interrogation of Koga Ryukata

It was late at night when the transport plane landed smoothly on the simple airfield of the Toyota County Front Command. The roar of the engine gradually dissipated into the quiet night sky.

The hatch slowly opened, and a beam of flashlight cut through the darkness, illuminating the faces of Li An and his paratrooper team members.

They escorted Koga Ryukata down the gangway step by step.

Li An entered the command center and went straight to the office of Li Haman, commander of the Second Air Division. The soldiers guarding the door saw that it was Li An and immediately let him in.

"Report to the division commander, the captain of the sharp knife paratrooper team, Li An, has returned to the team and successfully completed the pursuit mission, bringing back the important enemy figure Koga Ryukata." Li An stood at attention and saluted, his voice loud and powerful.

Upon hearing this, Commander Li Haman quickly stood up from behind his desk, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He walked around the desk and came to Li An, carefully looked at Koga Ryukata, then turned to Li An and said, "Captain Li An, you did a great job! This mission not only demonstrated the combat effectiveness of your sharp knife paratrooper team, but also provided us with valuable intelligence resources. On behalf of the division headquarters, I would like to express my most sincere commendation to you and your team!"

Li An smiled slightly and replied modestly: "Thank you for your affirmation, this is what we should do."

Then, Division Commander Li Haman turned to the adjutant beside him and instructed: "Immediately arrange a company of soldiers to escort Koga Ryukata to the commander-in-chief's front-line special military intelligence office overnight. Make sure it is safe and there cannot be any mistakes."

The adjutant quickly took the order and immediately gathered the soldiers to prepare to carry out the escort mission.

At one o'clock in the morning, when the night was deep and everything was silent, Koga Ryukata was quietly brought into the interrogation room of the Military Intelligence Department.

This is a dark and damp temporary building. There is an indescribable sense of oppression in the air, as if even time has stopped here.

Various torture instruments were hung on the walls. Some were rusty, while others looked brand new and sharp. They cast distorted shadows under the dim light, which made people shudder.

Although there was no smell of blood, the faint smell of rust and an indescribable sense of fear in the air were enough to make anyone's heart tremble.

Koga Ryukata was roughly pushed in front of a thick wooden stake, and his hands were tied tightly to it, making him unable to move.

Koga Ryukata looked up and around. Those cold torture instruments were like ferocious beasts, quietly waiting for their prey to fall into their traps. His heart was filled with unprecedented anxiety and restlessness, and every breath seemed to exhaust all his strength.

At this moment, the door of the interrogation room was slowly pushed open, and a man in a neat military uniform with a cigarette in his hand walked in.

He is the Director of Military Intelligence, Wong Pak-shun, an expert interrogator known for his iron fist.

Huang Baishun walked up to Koga Ryukata and stared at the captured enemy, which made Koga Ryukata feel an indescribable chill in his heart.

Huang Baishun slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and the white smoke slowly dissipated under the dim light, adding a bit of mystery and majesty to him.

Huang Baishun gently put out the cigarette in his hand, and then through the smoke that had not yet completely dissipated, he asked in a low and powerful voice: "Tell me, what is your true identity?"

Koga Ryukata's heart tightened, but he still tried to remain calm on the surface.

He repeated his previous lie: "My name is Ichiro Yamamoto. I am just an ordinary messenger in the Imperial Army. My position is not high."

Upon hearing this, Huang Baishun curled up a playful smile, which contained both disdain for Koga Ryukata's lies and an inexplicable sense of anticipation.

Huang Baishun remained silent, but stared at Koga Ryukata with his eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. The mockery and coldness in his eyes intertwined together made Koga Ryukata feel unprecedented pressure.

"Yamamoto Ichiro?" Huang Baishun repeated the name, and then changed the subject, "Do you think you can get away with just a name like this? Your temperament, your manners and your conversation all tell me that you are definitely not an ordinary person. Or do you think our intelligence system is so vulnerable that it can't even find out your true identity?"

Koga Ryukata's face turned even paler, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He realized that his lies were no longer tenable, but facing Huang Baishun's eyes that seemed to penetrate everything, he still held on and refused to let go. However, deep in his heart, a deep fear and despair were quietly spreading...

Just as Koga Ryukata was panicking, there was a light knock on the door of the interrogation room, interrupting the silence. A member of the Military Intelligence Department stood at the door holding a sealed file, and said in a calm and clear voice: "Sir, I'm here to deliver the information."

Huang Baishun nodded slightly and motioned for the other party to come in.

He took the folder, quickly opened it, and fixed his eyes on a photo. The person in the photo had a serious face and deep eyes. It was Koga Ryukata who was tied to a wooden stake.

A sneer appeared on Huang Baishun's lips, as if everything was under his control.

"Koga Ryukata, male, 42 years old, chief minister of the Fuso Empire's military, head of the Koga family, one of the three major families in Kyoto." Huang Baishun read out the information on the file word by word, his tone full of sarcasm and disdain.

Upon hearing this, Koga Ryukata's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

He never expected that the other party would reveal his true identity so quickly. For a moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of despair and powerlessness.

"What? Are you surprised?" Huang Baishun sneered, threw the folder aside, and slowly walked towards Koga Ryukata, "Do you think you can get away with it in front of us with your little disguise? You are too naive."

Koga Ryukata gritted his teeth, unwilling to succumb to this sudden blow.

But Huang Baishun's next words made him even more heartbroken.

"Our time is precious, and I don't want to beat around the bush." ​​Huang Baishun said as he picked up a pliers-like torture device and flexibly rotated it between his fingers. "Just tell me all the useful information you know. Maybe this way you can suffer less."

Koga Ryukata looked at the pliers in Huang Baishun's hand, and an indescribable fear surged in his heart.

How painful it would be if that kind of torture instrument was used on oneself.

"What...what do you want?" Koga Ryukata's voice trembled as he tried to make a final struggle.

"It's very simple." Huang Baishun's mouth curled up with a cruel smile, "This pair of pliers, like cracking walnuts, will make a kind of... very beautiful sound when it crushes people's finger joints. I think you should like to listen to it."

Before Huang Baishun finished speaking, Koga Ryukata's face had turned as pale as paper.

He realized that he was in a desperate situation and could no longer escape. At the critical moment of life and death, he had to make a choice - to continue to fight to the end, or to compromise and survive...
