Chapter 616: Political Work Problems

After the grand wedding, Asano's small life was also very beautiful, and Gokko Atte approved him to go to the Army University for further study, and at the same time added to his mercenary division. The original mercenary division was only a mixture of five wings, with a total of more than 10,000 people, but this time Goxinga was in a good mood, so he expanded Asano according to the A division of the Japanese army in history.

After the enlargement, the mercenary division has jurisdiction over two brigades, each with two infantry wings, and also has one wing each of engineers, cavalry, artillery, and baggage, a total of eight wings, plus a division headquarters and two brigade headquarters of non-combatants, a total of 28,200 people. The combat effectiveness is still not comparable to the standing division in Manchuria, and it is more than one level behind the main division, but it is larger than others in terms of establishment. And although in fact the mercenary divisions are still under the control of the Tar and are in the battle sequence of the marines, they are nominally directly subordinate to the General Staff Headquarters. Asano cherishes this name, and the word Kimoto keeps circling in his head.

After Lu Da wandered around for two months, Taal sent Asano to the Sea Continent War Department and engaged in a round of professional training, which made Asano even more fluttering. Lu Da and Haida are both well-known devil training camps, and Asano has suffered a lot in them, but Asano is still beautiful. One of the things he learned was that he had learned a lot of real skills, but most importantly, Asano enjoyed the feeling of being valued. The samurai is very concerned about face, and has been specially escorted, which makes Asano very face-saving. The military bigwigs of the navy and the army, he has seen them all, not to mention, the military veteran Feng Sheng'a also invited him to a meal.

After returning from training, Asano didn't get out of the army much. At present, eighty-five percent of the mercenary division are recruits, and the most important task is to drill and train, and this kind of introductory subject is not the turn of a big man like him, and Uesugi and the others will arrange it. Except for when the training started, Asano showed his face and gave a word to everyone, and he never went again. However, Asano is still very busy, his boss Tarr has been promoted to commander-in-chief of the Marine Corps, so naturally he has to go to various places to inspect the situation of the Marine Corps, as a red man in front of Tár, of course Asano has to accompany him.

After half a year's effort, Asano accompanied Tal to almost all the overseas territories of North Manchuria, Borneo, Malacca, Singapore, New Guinea, Sakhalin, Vladivostok, Alaska, Busan, North Korea, and even went to Midway Island and Sunset Island to comfort the local officers and soldiers defending the island. When Asano followed Tal back to Dalian, Uesugi and the others had assigned and trained the mercenary division, and Asano didn't have to worry about it at all. After experiencing the benefits of being a leader, Asano's small life was more beautiful, enjoying the joy of family at home every day, and pulling the troops out to conduct a drill when he was free, in short, life was boundless.

Today Asano sneaked out with his daughter-in-law behind his back because he was going to drink flower wine. It's not a big deal in Japan, and you can tell your wife clearly, but Mrs. Asano has often been mixed with Tal's Fujin recently, and she has also been infected with the habits of Manchurian, and Asano doesn't want to make any jokes in the officer's villa area, so it's better to sneak away. Asano is still very loyal to his wife, and he doesn't like to go to Fengyue very much, but he has to go today, because it was Shanyu who invited him to drink, and he must give this face.

"Division Commander, you have finally arrived, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Asano was secretive all the way, delaying a lot of time, and by the time he arrived at the Gyokuroya, Shanyu and several political cadres were already drinking with geisha in their arms. However, they still gave Asano full respect, and as soon as Asano entered the door, they left the table one after another to salute.

"Sit down, sit down, it's all your own brothers, what are you doing so politely, it's not in public, don't make these false courtesies!" As soon as Asano entered the door, he apologized again and again, and greeted everyone very casually.

It is difficult for Asano to put up a stand in front of his political subordinates, and Shanyu, who is in his team, is an official for three generations, and Shanyu's subordinates are almost all from this kind of background, and they are all people with prominent family backgrounds. And everyone is in charge of their own stalls, Asano is in charge of the military, and others are in charge of politics. Politics is a very delicate matter, if these political cadres go to Changchun to make some rumors, it will definitely be enough for Asano to drink a pot, and if there is a big movement, Tal will not be able to protect him. So Asano has always been actively wooing these political colleagues, and their personal relationships are good!

"All of you go down!" As soon as Asano sat down, he didn't even see what the geisha who served him looked like, so Zenyu ordered these geisha to get out, and Asano's meal was destined to be in name only. But Asano didn't mind, he didn't like these things in the first place, and Shanyu suddenly cleared the scene, he must have something to say to himself.

"Shanyu, you political workers seem to have been very busy lately, why do you have time to invite me to drink!" Asano smiled and took a sip of the wine glass, and glanced at Shanyu and a few people, Asano knew that Shanyu must have something bad today. A group of political and industrial officers from the aristocracy have lost their manners, all of them are disheveled and red-faced, and Shanyu, who has always been gentle and elegant, is also holding a cigarette in his mouth, and he has no manners at all.

"My division commander, brother! Today, my brothers are here to beg you, these recruits recruited this time are really terrible, and there is no way to carry out political work education! A few of our brothers have already been named and approved by the General Political Department, and if we don't come up with a charter and make some appearances, at least our brothers will be removed from their posts and investigated, and at worst, the entire army will have to be withdrawn! The more Shanyu spoke, the more angry she became, and like a street hooligan, she pressed the cigarette butt directly on a plate of sashimi she had just eaten.

"You're not kidding! Shanyu, you are also from a soldier's background, and the old ones are also veterans of political work, so you can't get a bunch of cubs from them, pull out the thorns and fix them, aren't they all honest! Uesugi and Miyamoto Didn't they help? These bastards are getting more and more unpleasant! Asano thought it was the recruits who were disobedient.

"Division commander, you think it's wrong, it's not a trivial matter like someone disobeying the discipline at all! The newly recruited bastards were all self-contained, very resistant to political education, and although they wore the uniforms of mercenaries, they were still loyal to the lord and the emperor in their hearts, and could not even swear allegiance to the general. What was the emperor's birthday a few days ago, and these guys gathered on a large scale to bow to the southeast, where did this move put the great shogun? There have also been repeated prohibitions on sending letters and goods to Japan, and many of them involve leakage of secrets, which is a serious violation of military regulations. Moreover, this matter has become a big problem, not only the General Political Department has repeatedly called to reprimand us and others, but even the miscellaneous affairs section has been eyeing us. Feng Sheng, the political commissar of the First Brigade, was also flushed, but he still spoke very methodically.

"The matter of them handing over goods to Japan is very serious, some are borrowed from merchants to send goods, some are entrusted with geisha, and all kinds of tricks are coming out one after another." Chiri, the political commissar of the 2nd Brigade, also complained.

"The troops are closed to the outside world, how did they send things out?" Asano also realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Many of the veterans were also damaged by them, so the veterans opened the corner door for them when they stood guard, and violations of the exception often happened, and they couldn't be stopped at all. If you want to control them, unless you ask the commander to transfer people from the brother troops, but if you ask for help from the brother troops, you will be embarrassed and not say anything, for fear of causing panic among the soldiers. Shanyu has also thought of many ways, but there are not many practical ones.

"I was negligent, I should have appeased these recruits in the army more!" Asano began to blame himself for enjoying his life too much and forgetting the burden given to him by the Great Shogun and Tár.

"Now I can only pray, these bastards don't make a big mess! Now the things they leak are just some innocuous gadgets, if it really involves secrets, I am afraid that the miscellaneous department will come to the door immediately, and we will not be able to explain it at that time! "Fengsheng is the nephew of Saizan Ah Fujin, but when the matter is big, he will also be implicated.

"No, no, I'll move to the camp tonight and talk to everyone, and there will definitely be no chaos. Uesugi is too, and they won't report me if there is such a serious problem! "Asano's sweat is down, he heard Tal talk about the miscellaneous department, he doesn't want to see those people.

After Asano's words were finished, everyone fell silent and drank the sullen wine one by one. It's a good thing that Asano returned to the barracks, but it's hard to say whether he can hold down these recruits. The old qualified mercenaries also came here to make a living, but they are all very scattered, there are all over Japan, and because of hunger and cold, they are particularly obedient, and the political education is carried out very smoothly. The recruits are different, most of them are fellow villagers of the same domain, they have small groups in private, and they are only slightly dissatisfied with the policies of the Japanese government, and they are not driven to a dead end, so they are naturally not so obedient. Although Asano is the head of the mercenary division, he is only the most inferior samurai in Japan, and it is really hard to say whether many mid-level samurai among the recruits will give him face.

"Everyone is their own family, and no one wants anything to happen to our mercenary division, so I'll give you a thorough explanation! The day before yesterday, when I went home to see my Marfa (Manchu grandfather), I heard my Marfa say that it seemed that a person named Han Ying from the Miscellaneous Affairs Department had arrived in Dalian! Everyone was silent for a while, and Shanyu gritted his teeth and said a message.

"Han Ying?" Several brigade and regimental political commissars jumped up, but Asano didn't know what was so special about this person.

"Han Ying is a student of Zou Xiang, and he was the captain of the miscellaneous department when it was established, and he is the most of Zhang Fushun's status, and when he sees him, he has to call Instructor Han. Such a big Buddha suddenly came to Dalian, it is certainly not a trivial matter, we must be careful! Shanyu's face was a little distorted, he had just arrived at the political commissar of the mercenary division, and he didn't want anything to happen at this time.

"Take the glass! Let's go back and see if we can't make a mess! After Shanyu finished speaking, everyone stopped talking, looked at each other, and all of them were ready to hurry back.

"Everyone, you must keep our division!" Several people put their hands together and shook them vigorously.

Everyone cleaned up, and Shanyu went back to the barracks directly with a group of political cadres, but Asano had to go home to explain. Walking home alone with his entourage, Asano felt more and more sad, he couldn't get rid of a group of recruits who had never seen the world, and he recruited the big guy in the miscellaneous department, and Asano felt that his good days seemed to be coming to an end.

"Is it Asano-kun?" Asano was riding on a horse and was worried when a Japanese man in a kimono suddenly caught up from behind.
