Although Nikaido did not dare to break into Tang Ning's house to arrest Matsuda Yoshiko, Matsuda Yoshiko did not dare to go out of the officer's residence casually, so she could only secretly send someone to find out the news, but the result made her very chilled, most of her former henchmen took refuge in Nikaido, and several people were brutally killed, and only two people returned to her hands.

Since the technical support and equipment from the United States had not yet arrived, the construction of the new factory had not yet begun, and the Coke factory was already on track, so Downing had a lot of time to form his own bodyguard group.

That's right, it's a bodyguard group, and it's an official bodyguard group. Because he was assassinated at the previous wedding, Tang Ning used this as an excuse to propose to the military department the idea of hiring and training bodyguards, and the military department also approved this, because although the last assassination was not aimed at Tang Ning, he did receive a threat to his life, and according to Tang Ning's current position and rank, the military department could not specially configure a guard for him, so he could only approve his request, but the size of the bodyguards was limited, that is, the maximum number of bodyguards was ten people, but it was allowed to equip and purchase American light weapons.

At this time, Japan was strictly forbidden to hold guns, even the police were armed with light weapons, and the civilian people had no chance to touch the guns at all, and a large number of weapons produced during the war were collected and destroyed by the US military.

And although it is also a light weapon, it is a double standard within Japan and the US military, the light weapons of the Japanese police are mainly pistols, and they are not very powerful, but for the US military, light machine guns are also light weapons, so in fact, the military department still takes good care of Tang Ning, and ten people with American-style equipment can definitely sweep any Tokyo gangster, of course, provided that there is no big force or big group behind him. But even so, Tang Ning didn't plan to be honest, he planned to recruit forty or fifty people, and then only report ten people, and the rest were raised as reserves, and the military department didn't need to spend money anyway.

As for the candidates to recruit, Tang Ning thought about it for a long time, and finally decided not to select from those who have a certain foundation, such as retired soldiers or gang members, because although these people have a foundation, their thoughts and beliefs have long been fixed and it is difficult to change. There's nothing wrong with letting them work for Downing, but it's hard to say if they work for Downing, an American.

Downing's target this time is the war orphans and street children struggling to survive in all the dark corners of Tokyo, and now there are a huge number of such children in Tokyo and other big cities, they have no food to eat, no fixed place to live, and in order to survive, they will do everything (see Master Miyazaki's "Grave of the Fireflies" for specific background), most of the girls do it, while the boys do handymen, shine shoes, and even steal, rob, defraud, work as pimps, etc. Tang Ning felt that these children should not have too deep feelings for the country of Japan, for the emperor, and for the Yamato nation, and even filled with a lot of disgust, because it was this country and this society that allowed them to live such a miserable life, so as long as they gave them basic living conditions and dignity in front of outsiders, coupled with careful training, strict management, harsh training and brainwashing education, I believe that they would be dead set on themselves and loyal.

After making a plan, Tang Ning arranged for Shimada Chichuan and them to recruit fifty street children between the ages of thirteen and fifteen, requiring good health, good physical appearance, clever work, and good luck, preferably with younger brothers and sisters. Although Shimada was confused about Tang Ning's requirements and couldn't understand what his master wanted to do, through this period of contact, they threw themselves to the ground for the five bodies that their master had long admired, and they didn't understand that it was their own stupidity, and the master must have his reasons for doing this, so they were ordered to go out and collect people.

These children are most concentrated in Tokyo's Ueno Park and train station, which is now the preferred gathering place for many homeless people, including not only street children, but also displaced people and homeless veterans whose houses have been destroyed by shelling. Most of the children in the train station are "clattering guys", who are actually thieves, or the sound of coins striking.

Because Shimada is now the head of the security guard of the cola factory, and also has the power to recruit security guards, so his social status has risen rapidly, and no one regards him as a failed soldier or a hateful underworld element, but a member of the privileged class, roughly equivalent to the comprador class before the liberation of China, so after he began to recruit people with great fanfare, many people came to apply, not only those street children who are struggling to survive, but even many parents have sent their sons over, hoping to keep up with the United States** If you get a good errand for an official, at least you can eat a full stomach, after all, the treatment of the cola factory is really visible to everyone, and now as long as you work in the cola factory, let alone a small boss like Shimada, even an ordinary worker can support two women.

Fortunately, Downing sent Higashino to assist Shimada, otherwise Shimada would really refuse to accept these children with parents. In fact, Dongye has already guessed Tang Ning's thoughts, Tang Ning wants those children with younger brothers and sisters, one is to see if these children have a sense of responsibility, whether they are willing to take care of their younger brothers and sisters, if they are not even willing to take care of their younger brothers and sisters, then such children don't expect him to be loyal in the future. On the other hand, he can take their younger siblings hostage and threats, and if he doesn't do things seriously or rebel, then he will not only die.

Because there are too many people who have signed up, it is very easy to find fifty people who meet the requirements, and the division of labor between Higashino and Shimada is also very clear, Shimada is responsible for testing physical fitness, Higashino is responsible for checking the family situation and conducting preliminary interviews, and soon recruited fifty people, before leaving, Higashino also said to those children who were depressed because they did not get the opportunity to be selected because they were in the back of the queue: "Don't be discouraged, we will come in a few days, because the people recruited this time may not all meet the requirements, once someone is eliminated, We're still going to come here and keep hiring. ”

Dongye's words not only made the children who did not get the opportunity to be selected excited, and hope rose in their hearts, but also made the hearts of those children who had just been selected and proud of their hearts, it turned out that all this was far from over, and there was still a link of elimination, and I don't know if I would be able to pass that hurdle.

PS: Continue to ask for recommendation votes, collect and reward, and now it has entered the new book list, but it is the last place at the end of the crane, and it feels like it may be kicked out at any time......
