Chapter 18: A Journey to Hokkaido (4)

Yoshida didn't answer, but took out a cigarette from the inner lining of his trench coat and lit it, in the dark, the cigarette butt was bright and dark, and Yoshida's face was also light and dark.

"Father?" Shunsuke Yoshida asked tentatively.

"It's your nobleman," Yoshida finally spoke, puffing out a smoke ring, "and an important figure in the special high school and the gendarmerie." ”

"A person from Zhina, and an important person in the special high class?" Shunsuke Yoshida's eyes widened.

"You'll find out slowly." Yoshida didn't seem to want to say much about the identity of that person.

Yoshida Shunsuke didn't ask again, he knew his father's temper, what he didn't want to say, he couldn't ask again, and after a pause, Yoshida Shunsuke spoke again: "Father, the special high school belongs to the military department, why do you want to cooperate with our police town to run a school?" Also, what's going on with this newly established 'spy training center'? ”

"All the local police agencies in Japan are called police offices, but only the police agencies in Tokyo are called Inspector Machi, do you know why?" Yoshida didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Tokyo is the capital of the Empire, of course it is different, what's so strange about that." Shunsuke Yoshida pursed his lips.

"Then let me ask you, do other local agencies have a department called the Ministry of Foreign Intelligence?" Yoshida asked again.

"Uh, no," Shunsuke Yoshida seemed to understand what his father meant, "You mean that Tokyo Metropolitan Police Town is in charge of intelligence gathering in addition to local security affairs?" ”

"Yes, when the police town was first established, it was actually called the police town, and later, His Majesty Taisho personally changed the word 'matter' to 'view', which means that the police town is not only the management body of police affairs, but also the eyes and ears of His Majesty the Emperor." Yoshida said with a serious face.

"What do you mean?" Shunsuke Yoshida was a little puzzled by the meaning of this change.

"The power of the military department is too great," Yoshida sighed, seeing that his son was still a little confused, and asked rhetorically: "Shunsuke, let me ask you a question, after the Meiji Restoration, the shogunate collapsed, and the emperor returned to power, where did the former anti-shogunate forces go?" ”

"You're talking about the Choshu Domain, Satsuma Domain, Hizen Domain, and Tosa Domain? Have they not become His Majesty's loyal subordinates? Shunsuke Yoshida wondered.

"That's right, but to be more precise, almost all of the four strong feudal lords went to the military headquarters," Yoshida looked at his son earnestly, "The four strong feudal clans relied on the help of the British, and the military was successful, and their army also became the foundation of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Navy. ”

"Understood," Shunsuke Yoshida suddenly realized, "What do you mean, His Majesty the Emperor is worried about the military headquarters?" ”

"Your Majesty's intentions are not something we can speculate, but what I know is that even His Majesty the Emperor does not know about many actions of the military department." Yoshida replied.

"Oh," Shunsuke Yoshida seemed to understand a little, he pondered for a while, and finally grasped a little pulse, and hesitated to speak, "So, His Majesty the Emperor changed the police town to the police town?" ”

"You ......" Yoshida was helpless, his son was empty, but his ability to analyze and comprehend problems was too poor, he suddenly regretted it a little, he knew that it was so, it was better to let his son join the army, at least the relationship in the army was much simpler than that of Vigilant Town.

Yoshida Shunsuke was full of confusion - these things that his father told him today were all things that he had never mentioned to him before, what shogunate, emperor, and four strong clans, they all knew it, but they didn't know what was going on when they were connected.

"Shunsuke, since you don't understand, I'll be more plain," Yoshida took a deep breath and shook his head secretly in his stomach, "The shogunate, that is, the shogunate, and the shogunate means the tent of the army; "Fu" refers to the place where the royal family and other treasures and documents are kept. Taken together, it means that the military interferes in politics. ”

"So what?" Shunsuke Yoshida asked, tilting his head.

"Therefore, Your Majesty does not want to see the current military department develop into the former shogunate, and Your Majesty sits idly by and watches the 'lower ranks' in the army, which is actually a warning to the top of the military department." Yoshida said it in one go.

"Oh, I see, but what does this have to do with our Vigilant Town?" Shunsuke Yoshida finally "got it", but he immediately had a new problem.

"Forget it," Yoshida shook his hand helplessly and stood up, "Let's go, follow me to see that Mr. Zhou." ”

"Okay." Shunsuke Yoshida immediately stood up, these things that his father talked about were too complicated, he was not interested in it at all, besides, what was the use of knowing this?

..........

"Why did the car stop for so long?" Chunri lay on the bed, looking at the starry sky outside the window, as if he was talking to himself, and seemed to be talking to Geng Chaozhong.

"It's not long, when I was in China, it was common for trains to stop for hours." Geng Chaozhong leaned on the wall of the box, staring at the crescent moon in the sky, and there seemed to be a light flickering in his pupils.

He remembered her in Nanjing.

"Mr. Zhou, do you say that the moon is round in China, or the moon is round in Japan?" Spring turned around, and the bright moonlight splashed on her smooth forehead, shining brightly.

"I haven't seen the full moon in Japan yet, so I'm afraid it will take a few weeks to find out." The corners of Geng Chaozhong's mouth curled slightly.

"If Mr. Yoshida was satisfied this time, I wouldn't have to go to China, but now I think it's good to go to China......." Kasuga whispered.

"The outside world is wonderful, and the outside world is helpless." Geng Chaozhong said casually.

"What Mr. Zhou said seems to be very philosophical," Spring thought about Geng Chaozhong's words, and suddenly said for no reason: "Mr. Zhou's expression when he looked at the moon just now was very gentle. ”

"Really?" Geng Chaozhong made a stiff face.

"You must have remembered your lover." Kasuga added earnestly.

Geng Chaozhong was slightly stunned, and just as he was about to answer, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and then the wall was knocked, and Yoshida's voice came:

"Mr. Zhou, have you slept?"

"Nope."

Geng Chaozhong put on his coat, walked out of the box, glanced at the young man behind Yoshida, and said in a low voice: "Senior Yoshida, something?" ”

"No, just to come and see Mr. Zhou," Yoshida smiled and pointed to the young man behind him, "This is my son, Shunsuke Yoshida, who just got in the car from Urawa in the afternoon." ”

"Hello Mr. Zhou." Shunsuke Yoshida said hello briefly, and immediately lowered his head again, the contempt in his eyes flashing.

"It turned out to be a noble son, heroic and magnificent, very similar to Mr. Yoshida." Geng Chaozhong smiled, seemingly not caring about Shunsuke Yoshida's expression at all.

"Mr. Zhou, I have something to ask for, please go over there and talk." Yoshida bowed suddenly.
