383 Company Commander

Dressed in camouflage and holding a Chinese textbook in his hand, Shingo Kameda is extremely attentive and hardworking. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoJapanese people have certain advantages in learning Chinese or Chinese learning Japanese, at least in terms of writing, the two are homologous, and the main body of Japanese is kanji, and the two sides can have written talks. The new Chinese textbooks compiled under the auspices of the Datang Ministry of Education have pinyin and more systematic teaching methods, which also make the process of learning Chinese a little easier for non-native Chinese speakers.

In Japan, some high-ranking samurai can use Chinese, such as Shogun Tokugawa, who has received Chinese education, while some lower-class samurai, even if they have not learned Japanese well, illiterate samurai exist.

Kameda Shingo was a samurai from a lower class, and his ancestors were farmers like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was later promoted to ashigaru, and after Ashigaru was samurai, he became a lower-class samurai. The Kameda family has been samurai for generations, and some of them have contributed a little bit to the main government, so they have gradually left the rank of ashigaru. But no matter how you say it, Shingo Kameda is not a person of high status.

Japanese samurai will say that they are born in Genji or Taira, in fact, many people are just far-fetched, but at least they can get a little extravagant. But the Kameda family is a complete farmer, and they can't add a new source to themselves, so naturally the Kameda family is very poor. When Shingo Michikameda was born, the samurai family's own fields had to be cultivated by themselves, and although the Kameda family did not have the extravagant and wasteful expenses of many samurai families, it was not enough to maintain the needs of the family. Kameda Shingo had a total of six brothers, and only he and one younger brother survived. The rest either died of illness or starved to death.

The Sendai Domain, where the Kameda family served, was expelled by the Tang people, and Kameda Shingo did not attack the Tang army for the sake of so-called loyalty, like the others. Kameda Shingo is dissatisfied with his own state of life, believing that he has talents but cannot be reused. So he had no intention of dedicating his life to the Date family. On the contrary, after the Tang Army began to recruit the Yamato Corps, seeing the favorable conditions offered by the Tang Army, Kameda Shingo resolutely joined the Tang Army.

All soldiers, regardless of whether they were ashigaru or generals, had to be trained from scratch. How to carry out tactical movements, how to shoot, the Tang Army's war mode is very different from Japan's, but Kameda also witnessed the Sendai armament fighting in a mess, and worked very hard to learn everything taught by the Tang Army's instructors.

Compared to some samurai who were psychologically resistant to what the Tang people taught, or had problems with their attitude towards training, Kameda Shingo's performance could be called a pacesetter, which also led to his promotion to squad leader and platoon commander two months later. The method of selecting officers of the Yamato Corps is not quite the same. The Tang Army did not look at the origin and rank of the original soldiers, and when they were first recruited into the army, no one was given special treatment and was directly appointed as an officer. Everyone is training and assessing at the same time.

Generally, those who are particularly obedient to the Tang people and have a serious training attitude will soon be appointed as the squad leader. If a little more is performed, it will be awarded to the platoon commander.

Not far away, a vote came, and Kameda Shingo saw it and immediately stood upright. Standing straight, even with his height of less than 165 centimeters. They all seem to be very tall.

This is the instructor corps of the Tang Army, although there are only seven people, but it is responsible for more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers in the entire regiment. Although it was not training time, as soon as they appeared, the Japanese soldiers had to stop everything and stand up and salute.

The instructor at the head saluted him as well. Of course, it won't be so standard, he saw the Chinese textbook in Kameda Shingo's hand, and said, "I remember you, your name is Kameda Shingo, isn't it, you performed well." ā€

Shingo Kameda suddenly had a feeling of excitement. "Yes, Master Instructor."

The instructor turned back to the man behind him and said, "Is his name in the letter of appointment?" ā€

The young instructor flipped through a stack of rectangular envelopes in his hand, pulled out one, and said, "Yes, instructor chief." ā€

The instructor took the envelope, the envelope was not sealed, he took out a piece of paper from it, with the red seal of the Datang Ministry of Defense underneath, he glanced at it and said: "Congratulations, Comrade Kameda, because of your outstanding performance, the Yamato Corps Headquarters has awarded you the military rank of company commander, and you will command the third company of the ninth battalion of the fifth regiment of the second brigade of the Yamato corps." ā€

At this time, Kameda Shingo was even more excited, and he saluted again: "Thank you to the instructor for cultivating his subordinates, and his subordinates will definitely continue to work hard!" ā€

The instructor said: "This is still the result of your own efforts, your previous assessment has reached the level of B+, and the members of the instructor corps of the headquarters think that you have potential and are trustworthy, so they appointed you to this position, and please do not disappoint the expectations of the instructor corps and Datang." ā€

"Yes, the subordinates must work hard to show their loyalty to Datang!"

After all, the Yamato Corps cannot always maintain a situation without officers, and the promotion of junior officers is relatively convenient and easy, but senior officers obviously cannot be so hasty. Therefore, it was not enough to be serious and outstanding before, and then Datang trained these Japanese soldiers. Some materials were given to them to study, and of course the language barrier was also very important. Finally, half a month ago, the command organized an examination, and those soldiers who were interested in serving as officers of the intermediate rank and above, took the exam.

The content of the exam involves a lot, including some basic military knowledge points for leading soldiers, as well as the assessment of adaptability, and of course, the more important thing is the consideration of their loyalty and character, which is the so-called political examination. Of course, these soldiers joined the Yamato Corps for a few months to a year, and they couldn't review too many things, but at least during the interview, this ass must sit upright and actively show loyalty.

Kameda Shingo's Chinese language was ultimately inferior, and although he showed his loyalty, he could only be considered decent in the exam. Therefore, the instructor corps decided to promote him to company commander to see the after-effects.

The instructor patted Kameda Shingo on the shoulder and said: "You must know that there are opportunities everywhere in the corps now, although this time you did not become a battalion commander or regiment commander, but I just received the news that the Far Eastern Theater Command has made an important decision to take the Yamato Corps as the core and go on an expedition to Siam, and our Yamato Second Brigade is one of the troops to be sent out, as long as you can prove yourself on the battlefield, you will be promoted faster." ā€

Shingo Kameda was full of enthusiasm and nodded heavily: "Yes!" (To be continued.) )
