Chapter 6: The Discovery of Higashino Kanda (2)
The headquarters of the Japanese army in Wanping City.
An old-fashioned courtyard building.
In the open space in the center of the courtyard, there was a corpse, the left shoulder of the corpse covered with a white cloth had a clear depression, and on the right shoulder of the corpse, a mutilated Shaozuo collar badge was placed.
Around the corpse stood a circle of Japanese generals, most of them wearing white scarves with solemn and sad expressions.
At the top of the corpse, Kurokawa Yoshida's hand holding the sword was exposed, and anger and sadness flowed between the wrinkles of old age on his originally slightly aged face.
Looking at his brother's corpse for a long time, the anger on his face gradually faded, only full of sadness remained, and finally tears finally flowed from the eyes of the 41-year-old Nakazo.
The corpse in front of him is his younger brother, his own brother, and it is also the hope that the family has placed on everyone.
He Kurokawa Yoshida has been in the army for 20 years, from a private to the captain of the Nakasa Brigade step by step, and has gone through hardships, and it is precisely because of the hardships all the way that he understands very well in his heart that in this army where he looks at his background and qualifications, he has no chance of promotion without a military school background.
As for returning to the military academy for further study, at the age of forty-one, he has no chance.
With no background in non-commissioned officer school and no promotion from a powerful boss, he is destined to be the captain of the second line of the Zhongzuo for the rest of his life.
Even if the army is greatly expanded in the future, the opportunity is for those young non-commissioned officers.
But his brother was different.
Relying on him and his family's frugality, his younger brother, who was born in a poor family, graduated from Tokyo Imperial University three years ago, and relying on the network base he has accumulated in the past 20 years, although it does not help to push him forward, it is a matter of course for his younger brother's promotion.
Therefore, after only three years of enlistment, his younger brother has already become an officer and commanded a new second-line brigade, and as long as he can make meritorious contributions in this vast battlefield, he will be able to serve in the future.
But nowadays.
Everything is broken.
Their family, and his life's hopes, were shattered.
And that's just because of a suicide attack!
Thinking of this, Kurokawa Yoshida's hands were exposed again, and the sadness on his face gradually slipped down with tears, and finally anger and tyranny filled his face, and killing intent began to converge in the heart of this Nakasa.
He's going to make everyone pay.

"Yoshida Nakasa"
The voice of Higashino Kanda was heard from the mouth of the headquarters.
"Kanda Shaoza" saw the coming, and after a trace of hatred flashed in Yoshida's eyes, he silently lowered his head, and his tone was respectful and humble.
"Mourning, Brother Ling is a warrior of the empire, and he is loyal to the empire"
Glancing at the corpses on the ground, Kanda Higashino stood up and bowed.
"Loyalty to the Empire is the honor of being a soldier"
Festle the saber in the pestle's hand, Kurokawa Yoshida bowed his head and replied.
"This is Commander Kurosawa's order"
Glancing at Kurokawa Yoshida, whose eyes were lowered, the corners of Kanda Higashino's mouth curled, and he directly handed him a brand-new message.
There are not many words in the electricity, and the content is concise and clear.
"Order: The Nishida Brigade and the Yoshida Brigade were merged into the Full Infantry Brigade, with Kurokawa Yoshida as the captain and in charge of the full reorganization"
After reading the message several times, Kurokawa Yoshida raised his head with some difficulty, looked at Kanda Higashino, who was smiling, and silently snuffed out the trace of hatred brought by his brother's death in his heart.
"What a big background"
"In just three hours, the military department can directly order the merger and reorganization of the two second-line brigades"
"Moreover, he even completely handed over the power of adaptation to himself"
In wartime, merger and reorganization are very common, especially for non-fully formed brigades of the B-division regiment that their superiors do not love and logistics do not love, mergers are simply commonplace.
For the adaptation and merger, many commanders love and hate.
In the same way, the status of the commander will also rise, after all, the status of a full-strength captain of 1,000 people and the status of a second-line captain of 500 people are completely different.
Hate is the merger, which means a major reshuffle of the army, since some people have risen to power, then naturally some people have lost power. In the face of this situation, everyone is showing their own magic and fighting each other's relationship qualifications.
And now,
It's just a piece of paper, and he is now the Earth Emperor of Wanping City.
To put it bluntly, he will go up to whoever he wants, and he will go down whoever he wants.
At a deeper level, he is now in power, and with his decades of accumulation of contacts in the division, as long as this reorganization is underway, this new full-fledged brigade will be completely under his control, and it will be forbidden.
took a deep look at the young and somewhat excessive Shaozuo in front of him.
He grabbed the adjutant knife in both hands and leaned down heavily.
"Hi"
At this moment, he thought of Masama Kurokawa, who was studying at Tokyo Imperial College, the youngest brother in their family.
"Maybe there's another chance," he thought silently.
Looking at Kurokawa Yoshida, who bowed his head and bent over, the corner of Kanda Higashino's mouth smiled even more.
With a civilian with no background, he was able to help his younger brother become an official in just three years, and he was in charge of a second-line brigade alone, so by such means, the Kurokawa Yoshida in front of him was a good talent.

"Higashino Shaosa, the bodies of the attackers and the fallen soldiers of the Reich are all in the courtyard inside"
"The weapon you want the attacker to use should also be inside"
A squad leader trotted all the way to a room compound with Kanda Higashino.
After the attack, it was his squad that was responsible for dealing with the battlefield of the Convergence Gate. In the face of Higashino Shaozuo's inquiry, the squad leader naturally took the opportunity to be courteous and flattering.
Not long ago, he saw very clearly in the headquarters compound that although the order to merge and reorganize the two brigades and hand over the rights to the commander of the two brigades to Captain Nishida was issued by the military headquarters, the specific reason was clear to anyone with a discerning eye.
At the gate of the courtyard, there were four soldiers of his squad standing guard.
The squad leader opened the door himself while introducing the casualties of the attack.
"The attack was carried out by the 3rd Infantry Squadron of the Nishida Brigade, and the squadron leader was Kato Hyakukawa, who was wounded in the hand in this attack and is now being treated by the Real Medical Department"
"The total number of killed, including Captain Nishida, was 9 and 7 were wounded, and all of them were seriously injured."
Kanda Higashino strode into the courtyard, ignoring the words of the team leader, he glanced around the situation in the courtyard, only to see eight corpses scattered in the huge earthen courtyard.
Looking at the chaotic compound and the corpses that were wantonly placed, Kanda Higashino's heart instantly became angry, and his tone was cold.
"Is this how you treat the warriors who are loyal to the Empire?"
"Hey, hey, it's the fault of the next"
While bowing his head to admit his mistake, the team leader hurriedly beckoned someone to tidy up.
"You tidy it up yourself"
Glancing at the team leader, Kanda's tone softened slightly.
"Where is the body of the attacker?"
"In that corner, I put it myself" The team leader subconsciously pointed to a corner, however, when he looked over, the corner was empty.
"Someone came to remove the body of the attacker?" Stunned for a moment, he quickly turned his head and asked the soldier guarding the door.
"No one has come," the guards returned crisply.
No one has been here?
The team leader hurriedly ran to the corner, and on the soft soil ground in the corner, a human indentation was clearly visible.
It's just that
"What about corpses? And what about the big one? And the bloodstains? What about such a big puddle of blood on the ground? It's obvious that I put it here myself" Looking at the clean and bloodless corner, the team leader's eyes were full of confusion.
He remembered that the attacker had been shot at least a dozen times, several times through the head, and that he had scattered blood all over the ground when he threw the body.
"Assemble your squad now"
Kanda Higashino looked at the indentation in the corner, his eyes frozen.
"Hi"
The squad leader took the order and left.
