Volume VIII 1270 Dragon Servant Great Monk

Next chapter

"The gates of hell have finally opened, the impermanence of the great ghosts roaming the air, the demons and gods have begun to judge everyone's sins, and the flesh millstone has begun to turn...... Nan no Jizo King Bodhisattva! Nan no Amitabha!"

Thirty kilometers south of Amami Oshima, on Tokunoshima Island, a tall monk dressed in an earthy yellow sea blue suit sits cross-legged on a boulder on the top of Mt. Ikawa, and silently recites prayers with his hands folded to the north.

Beside the monk, a middle-aged man with a telescope was observing the smoke rising in the distance, coughing from time to time.

Dozens of powerful men in strong suits guarded the two of them, these big men had bright eyes, and their temples were bulging high, and they were top practitioners at a glance.

It was the director of the CIA Wang Huaiyuan who was shuddering, and the monk beside him was Sakamoto Ryoma, who had just become a monk!

Three days after the Tsushima Conference, a small ordination ceremony was held in the Ryukyu Jizoin Temple, and the much-criticized Sakamoto Ryoma became a monk under the gaze of many complicated people.

This is a result that most people can accept, because of the promotion of Long Ma Jun, the Chinese Secrecy Act and Xiao Letian's bottom limit theory have been cleared, and these Chinese officials who have the right to know have closed their mouths, and the truth of the Bai Layi tragedy has been collectively sealed by them for 100 years.

In this way, the dirty water of the Bai Layi tragedy will not be splashed on Xiao Lotian and the Chinese high-level in the end, the secret of the war will be hidden, and the feelings of the people will be stable.

But the secret can be hidden from the common people, but it can't be hidden from the real high-level, Xiao Letian and Long Majun must also give an answer to those indignant officials, and punishment must be there.

The final punishment is not insignificant, Ryomajun became a monk, abandoned his title and official position and became a complete white body, which is a very cruel punishment for any politician.

Those high-ranking officials who knew about it saw that Ryomajun's political life had been cut off, and this punishment was sometimes more severe than directly killing his life, and the resentment of those high-ranking officials gradually dissipated.

The only ones who were not convinced were the Fuso samurai class, and Hyotaro and Noheita were not convinced by people's accusations against Ryoma-kun until the end. Isn't war like this in the eyes of the Japanese samurai, doing everything they can, exchanging a small number of lives for the greatest victory, and only settling accounts in the end and not suffering losses?

What kind of soldier is a soldier without sacrifice? Bushido will never understand what those people are thinking.

However, there are complaints, but the final result is still acceptable to them, because in the hearts of the Japanese, monks are not really empty, and it is a very unique tradition in Japan that monks participate in politics in history.

In addition, Sakamoto Ryoma was then appointed by Xiao Lotian as one of his staff, which shows that Ryoma-kun has not completely stepped out of the center of power, so the Fuso samurai in the Marine Corps can more or less accept the current reality.

"I didn't expect Stefansky to be so cautious, the visual inspection of Luma Island has been abolished, and it seems that the pressure on the main island will increase...... Ryoma-kun, do you think we need to adjust our follow-up plans?" asked Wang Huaiyuan.

Sakamoto Ryoma stopped the rosary in his hand, opened his eyes, and whispered, "Sakamoto Ryoma is dead, so call me the great monk of the dragon servant in the future! The name of the dragon servant was given by the prime minister, and from now on I will be called the dragon servant ......."

"Good, good...... You can call it whatever you want, anyway, it's the same in my eyes, you used to be called Ryoma, according to the literal meaning of Chinese characters, you were born to be a pawn in front of the real dragon, and with the prime minister, the real dragon, being a squire is not a grievance against you!"

"Now I want to hear your opinion, should our reserve force increase its strength? Do we need to carry out a mobilization activity in the Ryukyus? The southern island of Ryoma is no longer able to provide firepower, and I am afraid that they will break through from here!"

The great monk of the dragon servant smiled faintly: "How can such a thing as a war be calculated to be 100% correct, blessings and misfortunes depend on it, and disasters and blessings will come! If Lu Madao is not lost, and the enemy will not fall for it at all, so he will turn around and leave!"

"If you want to catch a big fish, you have to learn to play heavy bait, and if you don't want to eat such a big shark at any cost?

"If the wargame deduction is omnipotent, then in the future, we can all find mathematicians to command the battle, and the enemy and us don't need to really kill people, and play a game of chess face-to-face, and the winners and losers will all come out...... But that's not the case!"

"Just as you can't calculate that I will change the order without authorization, you haven't calculated that the enemy will be so cunning and cautious today, but if you don't calculate it, don't you want to fight?

Wang Huaiyuan glanced at Long Ma Jun, and said in his heart Are you really a monk? The war has reached the most critical moment, and our hearts are all in our throats, and you can still be a quiet person.

"No, I'm not as indifferent as you, pass the order, Guotou Military Port will recruit another 3,000 militiamen, and if the number is not enough, the police will be transferred and on standby at any time...... Let Lotte coordinate all walks of life to prepare the ship, and now it's time for them to contribute!"

Ryoma-kun sighed, "The gamble is so big! The previous battle plan, we have squeezed out every silver coin in the Ryukyu market, as well as the last bit of material in the warehouse, and even the materials of the people have been requisitioned......"

"Now even the militia and police have to be mobilized, and the last few boats are all life-saving grain ships!

Wang Huaiyuan's face was hideous at this moment: "Why don't you gamble! The fate of the billions of southern tickets in Jiangnan is in the hands of this war, and the lives of the newly-born Chinese are also in the hands of this war, can we not gamble!"

"Die or live together! As long as we can win, I don't care about going to hell, now I will mobilize the police and militia, and in the next step I will mobilize men over forty years old, and if not, I will mobilize all the students in the Ryukyu schools!"

"Die or die together!"

"Amitabha! You have such great determination, where is the reason for invincibility! The sieve has been sown, now it depends on how fate arranges!"

The poor Russians did not know that there were these two great gods on the island of Tokunoshima who were engaged in meditation and enlightenment, and they did not see that in the deep sea area of the Pacific Ocean southeast of Tokunoshima, the blue sea was full of ships as far as the eye could see, and the sailing ships of all sizes lowered their sails and quietly waited for orders on the sea.

There are all kinds of boats, such as Chinese-made hardwood three-masted boats, Japanese boats, and various Western soft sailing boats, the large ones can carry one or two hundred soldiers, and the small fishing boats can only carry one squad of soldiers.

Now all the soldiers are looking at the north with their hands on the pergola, the sight of human beings on the sea is extremely vast, and the smoke and dust of the distant conflict can already be clearly distinguished, and all the soldiers are gritting their teeth and being fierce.

"Why hasn't it been our turn! Why hasn't ......it been our turn?"
