Chapter Eighty-Five: The Flotilla Lands
The fleet docked at Chenglingji Wharf when it was almost noon, and I don't know what Tadasuke Yamada and Satomi Konji said, such an important fleet, Satomi Konji really listened to Yamada Shaoza's words and docked at Yueyang Wharf.
The Chenglingji Wharf, which had been deserted for many days, suddenly had dozens of boats, and it suddenly became lively. The wharf was full of military and police officers of the Japanese puppet army, and a large group of brightly dressed elites gathered at the Chenglingji Wharf. Yueyang's garrison commander Shinichiro Yoshida personally greeted him on the dock, and Tadasuke Yamada also stood in front of the crowd in his brand-new military uniform.
Although this fleet was said to be very important to the Japanese army, the commander of the escort ship, Satomi Konji, was only a big sa, and it was far from the point where Yoshida Shinichiro personally greeted him. Yoshida heard that Nakajima Imago was also on the ship, so he came to pick up the ship. Although Nakajima is now in the reserves, he still has the rank of lieutenant general, who can say that when he goes to Wuhan this time, he will not take advantage of this to soar when he sees Yokoyama Yong?
In addition, Nakajima Imago and Tani Shoufu are also legends in the Japanese army, although our military and civilians hate these two brutes, these two guys still have a lot of admirers in the Japanese army, Yoshida Shinichiro is a fan of Nakajima Imago, today this guy wants to use the identity of the host to let Lieutenant General Nakajima sign his name and take a photo.
Shi Lei and his scouts wore the uniforms of the puppet army, standing in the crowd and trying not to leak their voices. There are so many people at the dock who are not all devils, and there are a lot of puppet soldiers and celebrities from all walks of life. The devils have always liked to show how popular they are with the local people in the occupied areas, how developed the local security and economy they govern, and how more livable they are compared to the nationalized areas, so as to show the world the rationality of these areas of China being occupied by the Japanese army.
Today, of course, is no exception, Yoshida brought all walks of life in Yueyang City, as long as they can be ranked high, to the docks, there are business elites, there are famous actors in the theater, there are officials of the puppet government, there are also hooligan gangsters, leaders of the Japanese diaspora, among which there are a few Japanese Lang people with loose hair and wooden slippers with toes on their feet.
It is said that Commander Yoshida originally intended to choose a few leaders of the beggar gang among the beggars to also participate in the welcome ceremony, but those who were born to be unable to go to the big scene refused to cooperate, and dared not come to the field of the imperial army! His Excellency the Commander was furious and arrested dozens of beggars on the street and threw them into prison, so that for more than half a month, the beggars in Yueyang City were extinct!
The beggars who were imprisoned were blessed. Originally sleeping outside, hungry and cold, often ate the last meal and did not eat the next meal, this time it is good, into the prison, there are walls on all sides and a roof, although the air quality is a little worse, but in the end it is also a cement room, right? Except for the sin when I first came, I was tossed by the devil, and then no one looked for their fault, and there were hot meals three times a day, and I wanted to get this little day!
The beggars hadn't bathed for years, and the sludge on their bodies was thicker than copper coins, and the devils who were in charge of torturing them didn't clean the strange smell of soap three times from head to toe when they returned from work. Not to mention the jailers guarding the prison, let alone beating them, no one even wants to get close, and they all pinch their noses when they deliver food. General Yoshida's visit to Yueyang can be regarded as a benefit for the beggars in Yueyang City.
Neither ironclad warships nor ocean-going giant ships were docked at the wharf, and dozens of ships of various colors, including fishing boats, pleasure boats, and cargo ships, were basically maintained in the upper middle of the medium, with a displacement of about three or four hundred tons. Of course, the fleet was not only full of these civilian ships, but also two Japanese warships, which were a little smaller in scale, two small iron-clad gunboats, which were estimated to be used to escort this fleet.
As soon as the order was given, military music broke out on the pier, drums were beating, trumpets were high-pitched, and some people set off two firecrackers. Amid the crackling sound of firecrackers and melodious military music, a group of devils descended from the big ship docked to the dock, led by a devil officer.
The officer ran a few steps quickly, and when he reached Commander Yoshida, he stood up and saluted, "General Yoshida, I am honored to have you come to greet you!" "It turns out that this is the commander in charge of escorting the fleet, Satomi Konji Daisa.
"Satomi-kun has worked hard, what about Nakajima-shogun?" I came to see Nakajima Isago and didn't see the face of the lieutenant general, Yoshida still wondered, didn't Lieutenant General Nakajima come with the ship?
"General Nakajima was unwell and didn't want to get off the ship, so he stayed on board to rest. The lieutenant general said that he had to think about something alone and did not want people to disturb him. "Satomi Konji is still strange why Shinichiro Yoshida is so polite, it turns out that people want to see Lieutenant General Nakajima, then I'm sorry, Lieutenant General Nakajima is nowhere to be seen!
"That's right." Yoshida looked regretful, "Then please ask Satomi-kun to greet His Excellency the Lieutenant General on my behalf." "People don't want to see people, what can he do? Do you want to see it? Shinichiro Yoshida didn't have the courage to break into the lieutenant general's room. After explaining that Satomi Osa must eat and have fun, Major General Yoshida turned around and left with the people, and he didn't see the person he wanted to see, and His Excellency the Commander didn't want to stay on the dock for a second.
Yoshida left, and Tadasuke Yamada greeted him, "Your Excellency Dazuo, welcome to Yueyang!" ”
"Yamada-kun!" Satomi Jinji didn't return the courtesy, and came over to hold Yamada Tada's hand is shaking, and it can be seen that the relationship between the two is really good.
"The goods are over there, let them load the ship now, I will introduce you to a friend, this is Tian Fuchou, is my very good friend, this batch of goods is Tian Jun's. Let's go, go to Hongbin Building to pick you up, and then we will go to Cuihong Mansion to have a good taste of the local customs. Yamada invited a treat, but pulled Tian Fuchu to pay. This Tian Fuchou specially launched to introduce, in addition to explaining the owner, the main thing is to let Tian Fuchou have no pimples in his heart, I let you have a treat, and also introduced you to the logistics manager, know more Dazuo, what is it to spend some money to invite a second customer?
"Tian Sang, it's good!" Sato Jin Er didn't see outside, and waved his hand to a devil officer behind him, "You go and be responsible for arranging the loading of goods." After finishing speaking, His Excellency Yamada Tadasuke pulled him away, and didn't even glance at the goods consigned by Tian Fuchou.
"You follow Taijun to move the goods to the ship, I still have important things to do with Brother Yamada, and you can go back directly after the goods are moved." Tian Fu was also straightforward, and ordered Tian Fu, and the owner of the goods followed the two princes who did not look back to have fun.
Both parties were not at the scene, Shi Lei and they of course had no opinion, Tian Fu greeted, and the scouts carried the wooden boxes containing furniture to the trolley, and pushed the cart to the side of the boat.
The devil lieutenant, who was left behind by Satomi Konji to manage the loading of the ship, stood on the side of the ship with his hands behind his back, and when the first trolley arrived, he raised his hand, "Stop, I want to check!" "This devil is quite responsible, although Dazuo has already been personally replaced, this guy still insists on checking before letting go.
