Chapter 395 – Interrogation

About four hours after we were unexpectedly attacked by the Kwantung Army for some inexplicable reason, we made our way back to the Imperial Oil Company’s base at the North Manchurian oil field.

We had already sent word by radio, so by the time we returned to the compound, people were waiting to receive us. A state of emergency was declared throughout the entire area, and all security units were urgently called up. Our first priority was to strengthen the defensive arrangements.

Once we had confirmed that there was nothing else to worry about, we expanded our reconnaissance efforts into the surrounding areas.

Meanwhile, Harbin and Qiqihar were also contacted, and the Manchukuo government military units stationed in both cities were placed under similar measures. However, that was about as much as the oil field security forces and General Ma Zhanshan could do.
