。

In the beautifully decorated Japanese-style houses, the incense is swirling and the inhalation is refreshing. The shamisen and phoenix are playing an elegant tune.

Three exquisitely dressed dancers danced in the center of the room, and on the main couch sat a young officer who was not yet thirty years old, dressed in a wide and ornate kimono, and admired the dance in front of him with a relaxed expression, surrounded by two equally beautiful dancers to his left and right.

He watched the dance, laughing with the dancing girl next to him, holding a shallow sake cup in his hand, indifferently savoring the taste of sake. It's like a noble son who is greedy for pleasure.

Yama Prefecture Yuo, who was the commander of the first wing under the 11th Brigade of the North China Front Army stationed in Tun, was also Sasaki's collaborator in this battle.

Speaking of the unit to which he belongs, he is very famous. The mixed 11th Brigade was formerly subordinate to the famous Kwantung Army, and was incorporated into the Japanese army system in North China before the outbreak of full-scale war.

However, after Yama County Yongnan came to the North China battlefield, he created very few records, which led to many people secretly being very dissatisfied with him, thinking that he was able to achieve the position of the first wing commander of the 11th Brigade Regiment entirely because of his surname.

Yama Prefecture, this surname can be described as extremely prosperous for the Japanese army. It can be said that the Japanese Army has become what it is today because of one person: Aritomo Yamagu.

There is no doubt that Aritomo Yamaguchi was the founder of the Japanese Army. At the time of the First Sino-Japanese War, it was Yama Yama Youpeng who led the Japanese Army to defeat the Qing army; During the Russo-Japanese War, it was still in this county that Youpeng made a battle plan, allowing the yellow race to defeat the white race for the first time in a modern war. It was also Yamaguchi Youtomo, who single-handedly created a situation in which soldiers from the Choshu domain controlled the Japanese army.

Yamaguchi Youtomo, who did this, was regarded as the "Father of the Imperial Army" by the Japanese Army! It can be said that there is a friend in Yamaguchi, who has influenced the history of the country of Japan for decades, or even longer!

And the brave man of Shan County is the descendant of Youpeng in Shan County. Although Yama County Yongnan is not the direct grandson of Shan County Youpeng, he is Shan County Youpeng's favorite grandson. It is precisely because of this that Yuo Yamayama was able to achieve the position of wing commander at the age of less than thirty, and it is even possible to be promoted to general before the age of thirty, becoming one of the youngest generals in the Japanese military circles!

The brightness of the career first brought a lot of criticism to the brave man of Shanxian County, and in the eyes of many people, if there is no shadow of his ancestors, he is nothing at all. After entering 38 years, many troops in North China were transferred to the more fierce battlefields in the south, but Yongnan from Shan County chose to stay in North China. This incident also makes people more determined to think that Yamaguchi Yongo is completely a coward and waste who only knows pleasure.

However, the few people who really know Yama County Yong Nan understand that he is actually a very terrible person, and he can achieve this position today, not only because of his surname.

As a child of Japan's gatekeeper, Yamaguchi received a samurai and ninja education since he was a child. At a young age, he was forged a strong will, and he was happy to enjoy beautiful things, but he would never indulge in them. In his opinion, these were all practices for him to hone his will.

When he was young, he was especially liked by Shan County Youpeng, who was already dying at that time, liked this cousin who showed a deep city at a young age, and thought that he was very much like himself. In the last few years of his life, he always liked to take Yongnan with him to teach.

"Crunch"

The song and dance were about to reach their best when they were interrupted by the sound of a slamming door. There was an officer standing outside the door, and after seeing the scene in the house, he didn't dare to say anything, but asked for instructions with his eyes like a brave man in Shan County.

Seeing the people outside, Shan Shan Yongnan nodded slightly, raised his hand to signal the song and dance to stop, and then pinched Meiji's body twice on the left and right, coaxing Meiren to retreat with a smile.

After the beauties, musicians, and waiters all retreated, Yama County Yongnan tidied up his body, and the person who showed the surprise could come in.

"Wing Captain, the latest battle report, the battle of Nanzhang has ended, and Captain Sasaki is dead."

Yamada, the attendant of Yama Prefecture Yongnan, reported in a deep voice, but what he didn't expect was that Yama County was not surprised at all.

"That's right, Sasaki really died in battle."

Shan Shan whispered, slowly got off the bed, stood up and sorted out his clothes, and walked towards the inner room on the side.

"Sasaki's death in battle has long been expected by me, the name of the commander of the Eighth Route Army is Yue Siliang...... After the battle of Lingqiu, I gathered a lot of information about him. This man showed great military prowess during the Chinese civil war, and Sasaki thought he could defeat him in a fair duel, but unfortunately he was not Yue Siliang's opponent. ”

Yamada said as he followed closely.

"What the co-captain said makes sense, and according to the intelligence, Sasaki had a sword duel with Yue Siliang in a white-knuckle battle and was killed by the other party himself."

"Oh, I didn't expect this, it seems that this Yue Siliang is still a master of swordsmanship, interesting......"

Yama Prefecture Yong Nan's eyebrows raised, obviously Yamada's words aroused his interest, whether it was swordsmanship or karate, he had a deep attainment, and even practiced the ninjutsu of the Iga school when he was a teenager, and he heard that Yue Siliang was a master of swordsmanship, so he couldn't help but itch his hands, but after thinking about it, Yama shook his head again.

As a commander, he likes to plan things in the back, and when he needs to go to the battlefield in person, it means that the situation has reached the worst.

"Although it seems very immoral to say this, Sasaki's death in battle is beneficial to me, and if Yue Siliang loses this battle, I really don't know how to arrange him, and my theory will not be as tenable as it is now. Now that he's dead, my conversation with the Commander will be smoother. ”

As he spoke, Yama County walked to the floor dressing mirror and took off his kimono, Yamada hurriedly stepped forward to take the kimono and serve Yama County to change into a military uniform.

Putting on a new military uniform and putting on a slight hat, Shan Shan shook his neck, looked at it from a few angles in front of the mirror, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"This new uniform is more comfortable than the previous one, and this hat is also very good, very light."

The military uniforms that Shan County is wearing now are different from those of the past, and the military hat has also been replaced by a small and slightly smaller hat from the previous large-brimmed hat. Now the official change of equipment of the army has not yet begun, but Shan County has also changed it early.

"Let's go, accompany me to the commander."

"Ahh

Yamada looked at his chief in surprise.

"My lord, don't you want to ask Fujino how it is compared to Sasaki, it's obviously the main battlefield in the area of Deer and Mata, right?"

Yama smiled and shook his head, seemingly completely unconcerned about what Yamada said.

"If Fujino messed up, you wouldn't have reported to me with this tone and expression. The combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is obvious to all, but they do not have the ability to occupy cities, for us, in fact, what really matters is just a Zhengtai Railway, as long as we ensure that a few important cities will not be lost, we have not failed, as for the rest, it is all Chinese land, what do we need to care about. ”

Shan County's Yongnan's argument was very arrogant, as if nothing could move him. The two walked out of the mansion with a few soldiers and walked in the direction of the Iron Lion Hutong, where the headquarters of the North China Front was located.

"Yamada, do you know Beiping?"

Walking on the street, looking at the crowd that began to dodge in a hurry, Yama County Yong asked with a smile.

"All I know is that this was once the imperial capital of several generations of Chinese dynasties, my lord."

Listening to Yamada's respectful answer, Yama nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, this was once the imperial capital of the Qing Dynasty. The Chinese are very concerned about 'orthodoxy', and moving the headquarters here may be the commander's reason for such a consideration. This can be regarded as a statement that we are willing to respect Chinese orthodoxy, otherwise, there is no need to move here from the more prosperous Tianjin, which is still orthodox after all......"

Shan Shan said a few orthodox words in a row, and then said.

"The house used by the headquarters used to belong to the ruling group of Beiyang Duan Qirui. We use it as a headquarters, and the commander can be said to have good intentions. ”

As he spoke, the party from Shan County had come to the Iron Lion Hutong. After showing his documents, Shan Shan walked in without humility or arrogance, perhaps in his opinion, he could have respect for Terauchi Shouichi, the commander-in-chief of the North China Front, but he was absolutely not afraid.

"Yongnan, you're here."

In the office, Terauchi Shou received a report that the other party wanted to come to pay homage to him early in the morning, so he simply didn't work anymore, just sat in his position and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Yes, Commander, you've always been in good health."

Although he was not afraid, as a junior, he still showed full respect for Terauchi Shouyichi. Speaking of the two families of Yama Prefecture and Terauchi are world friends, Terauchi Shouichi's father, Terauchi Masatsuki, was a close confidant of Yamaguchi Aritomo when he was alive, and it was precisely because of Yamaguchi Aritomo's appreciation that Terauchi Masatsuki was able to serve as Japan's prime minister during World War I.

Although it was later abandoned by Yamachiyama Youpeng because of the mistakes of Masashi in the temple, politics is like this, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. In interest groups, the rifts of the past can be temporarily healed through interests.
