This is the oldest business district in Tokyo, and most of the shops around it are long-established in Tokyo, and the merchants have gone to great lengths to decorate their shops, from the outside to the inside

"Interested in going for a drink?" Nakajima Yasuken suddenly proposed, Tachitaka Nosuke hesitated, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Nakajima-kun, good intentions, I probably don't know, I'm still under suspicion, the special high school thinks I'm a spy of Shina, do you see ......" Takanosuke Chong signaled to the two suits, and the suits were pretending to be in front of the stall. \\.ｑВ⑤、ｃｏМ//

"You're in a key position, and if you contact me now, you're going to get in trouble." Tatetakanosuke did not hide that he was being suspected, and his attitude seemed very sincere, but Nakajima Yasuken glanced at his suit indifferently and smiled contemptuously: "These people are always in the shadow of a bow and a snake, and General Ishihara is also under residential surveillance." The defeat in North China was not an intelligence failure, our failure, and more importantly, a lack of strength, and Okamura-kun took responsibility for the erroneous decision of the military department. ”

Tatsutakanosuke sighed, Okamura Ninji led his troops to surrender, creating the first case of the surrender of the Japanese army into a formation, which caused a huge shock in the Japanese army, and the military department was angry and accused, while busy eliminating the impact, but the generals of the North China Dispatch Army who broke through were deeply sympathetic, whether it was Nakajima Yasuken or Tachitakanosuke Ojodo Sanji, they did not think that Okamura Ninji surrendered because he was afraid of death.

"If it's a spy, then you shouldn't refuse to go drinking with me, I can tell you the news after drinking, and they just catch it." Yasuken Nakajima seemed to be joking, and Tatsunosuke shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Since that's the case, then I still have to go." ”

Tanabe's face was a little unsightly, he could only follow the two of them to the west now, it is not easy to drink in Japan, the government has ordered a ban on the use of grain to make wine, the sake on the market has long been extinct, and the few remaining wines were snatched up by aristocrats and business magnates as soon as they were listed, and the price was not at all something that ordinary citizens could ask about, even a general-level officer like Yasuken Nakajima could not bear it.

Yasuken Nakajima took the two of them to a tavern near Ueno Park, which was very large, and there were only three tables in it except for the bar.

"Nakajima-kun, you're here."

Yasuken Nakajima seems to come here often, and as soon as they entered the door, the waitress in charge of the reception came over to greet her, Yasuken Nakajima smiled at her, and then introduced Tachikanosuke and Tanabe: "These are my two friends, Takitaka-kun and Tanabe-kun." ”

The hostess saluted the two of them: "Welcome, are you also officers?" ”

Tatsunosuke and Tanabe didn't know how to answer, the two were a little embarrassed, and Yasuken Nakajima relieved them: "It's not that they retired due to injury." ”

"Oh, that's a pity" The hostess Lu looked sorry, and then asked curiously: "Was he injured in North China?" "Yes, he was wounded during the breakout in North China." Nakajima replied with an unchanged face: "Zhizi will first bring us two pots of sake, and then three dishes, and choose what my father is good at." ”

"Okay." The hostess smiled and agreed, turned and ran towards the bar.

Tatsunosuke and Tanabe sat down, Yasuken Nakajima looked at the back of Zhizi, and said in a low voice: "This tavern is the ancestral business of their family, the owner is Zhizi's father, Zhizi is also a military family, her husband died in the battle of Wuhan and life in the countryside is difficult, so she took the child back to her parents' house to live." ”

"Alas," Tanabe sighed, "so many emperors fought bravely for the empire,............。

Tachitakanosuke didn't answer, the curtain was lifted, and the suit followed, and the branch hurriedly went up to greet him, and the suit looked at the tavern, the tavern was too much, and the three tables were close together, so they could only sit next to them.

"Nakajima-kun, does Lou know that there is wine here?" Tatsunosuke asked.

"I don't know, but this shop has a secret recipe, every year after the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, they collect cherry blossom petals, mix the petals with last year's cherries and strawberries, and add a little oats to make a unique fruit sake that is not strong in sake, but it tastes very good."

"yes, it's going to be two more times after that." Tatetakanosuke showed a strong interest, compared to China, Japan is not worth mentioning at all, there are few distinctive things.

"Nakajima-kun, I'm still leisurely, and I have time to go shopping and take pictures." Tanabe looked at Nakajima's camera with a hint of reproach in his tone.

Nakajima didn't answer, picked up the camera, pressed the shutter on the busy branch, clicked, the branch turned his head to see Nakajima, smiled at him, Nakajima put down the camera and sighed: "It's very uncomfortable to think that these beautiful things are going to disappear, since they are doomed to destruction, let's leave some beautiful photos." ”

Nakajima's words were a little embarrassing, and the atmosphere at the table became a little dull, both Tachitakanosuke and Tanabe knew what Nakajima meant by Yasuken, no matter how the newspapers cheered up the citizens, Tokyo was doomed to be bombed, and these shops that had been preserved for hundreds of years were destined to be reduced to ashes.

"Nakajima-kun, you are a little pessimistic, although the situation is unfavorable, but it is not yet hopeless, if the Combined Fleet can defeat the US Pacific Fleet, we can still get a better terms for peace talks.

Tatsunosuke lifted the teapot and poured water for Nakajima, reassuring him.

Nakajima laughed self-deprecatingly and swallowed the cup as if he were drinking, then took the cup in his hand and played, staring at the teacup that rotated with his fingers.

"Yes, the Combined Fleet still has an advantage over the Pacific Fleet at the moment, and it should be able to defeat the Pacific Fleet." Tanabe also agreed: "Nakajima-kun, you are too pessimistic, cheer up, there is still hope for the empire." The ridicule on Yasuken Nakajima's face became even stronger, and he looked at Litakanosuke and sighed: "Ligao-kun, this is not like you, it's only been a few days since you left the army, and your sense of smell is completely gone, and you are still under suspicion, so you don't dare to speak." ”

Under Nakajima's gaze, Tachitakanosuke lowered his head a little weakly, but Tanabe defended unconvinced: "Nakajima-kun, do you think that the Combined Fleet can't defeat the Pacific Fleet?" The Combined Fleet is currently the most powerful fleet in the world. ”

Nakajima's mocking eyes: "Tanabe-kun, seven years ago, our Imperial Army was the most powerful army in the world, and the Kwantung Army was the most powerful army in the world, and now what?" The production capacity of the United States is ten times that of Japan, the shipbuilding capacity is five times that of ours, the war has been fought for three years, the United Fleet has not built a new aircraft carrier, has not added a battleship, and what about the Americans? "Although the industrial capacity of the United States is strong, the American industry can only produce lighters, radios, and women's cosmetics!" You can't make guns at all, and you can't build warships! Tanabe became more and more dissatisfied, and reproached with some anger.

Nakajima Yasuken laughed, his shoulders shook wildly, Zhizi didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly ran over, and asked what was wrong, Nakajima Kangjian waved his hand, indicating that nothing happened.

Edako left suspiciously, and before leaving, he asked him what he needed, and Tachitakanosuke explained a few words lightly, and Eda watched Nakajima leave worriedly.

Tanabe's remarks were the remarks of some officers of the military department when Japan chose to go to war, and the commander of the Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto, had studied in the United States and served as a military attache in the United States, and he knew very well the industrial strength of the United States, so he resolutely opposed a war against the United States, and the officers of the Ministry of War announced that American factories could only produce toy photo machines, that Americans could not afford to fight in a sea of corpses and blood, that Americans were afraid of death, and so on. But now all these wishful statements have been proven to be ridiculous lies.

Now Nakajima heard similar remarks from Tanabe's mouth, and he couldn't help but feel ridiculous. In Nakajima's laughter, Tanabe's face gradually turned crimson, and he was a little annoyed.

"Nakajima-kun, isn't that funny?" Tanabe's voice increased slightly.

Nakajima's laughter suddenly stopped, he looked at Tanabe and shook his head: "Tanabe-kun, I didn't expect you to be so naïve, if the American factory can really only produce toy cameras, I think the Imperial Air Force and Navy very much hope to have such toys." ”

Tanabe was speechless, and Tachitakanosuke sighed and relieved him: "Yes, no one expected that the war would last so long, and we had a mistake in our judgment of the United States at the beginning. ”

Nakajima didn't refute this time, Eda brought the wine and food, she asked Nakajima a little worriedly if Nakajima was okay, Nakajima relieved that she was okay, and after Eda left, Nakajima picked up the wine glass, and didn't respect Takanosuke and Tanabe and drank it.

Tatsunosuke drank. Wine, his eyes rolled, and he said persuasively: "Nakajima-kun, your mood is not quite right."

In difficult times, courage should be summoned, this is the style that a samurai should have. ”

"Yes, Nakajima-kun, take courage and show the spirit of a samurai to fight for the Empire!" Tanabe also encouraged.

Nakajima's eyes were confused: "It's not that I don't want to fight, but I can't find a way to save Japan, no, not at all, Ligao-kun, you know, I can't find a way!" There is no way, there is no way at all, the empire is going to be destroyed, Tokyo is going to be finished! It's all over! ”

Two lines of tears flowed down Nakajima's eyes, and Tachitakanosuke fully understood Nakajima's pain, as a high-ranking general in the center and conceited and intelligent, witnessing the crisis but not being able to do anything about it, this kind of pain is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

"What nonsense!"

Tatsunosuke turned his head to see one of two suits, two suits that were easy to distinguish, one was a little older, in his thirties, with a little beard under his nose, and the other was twenty-five or sixteen, with a short scar on his eyebrow.

It was the twenty-five or sixteen-year-old scar man who spoke, the scar man's expression was a little moved, and the little Hu next to him looked helpless, and the scar man glared angrily at Yasuken Nakajima and Tatsunosuke: "As a high-ranking general of the empire, it is a serious crime to spread such defeatist tendencies!" Your Excellency, you should ask the Emperor for your guilt! ”！
