Chapter Forty-Seven: The Greedy Japanese
After Kamakura and his party of four people, three Mizusheng, and seven people had a meal of flower wine at Maruyama Yuya, and established a "deep" friendship, Kamakura vowed to introduce his cousin, a major general, to them. His cousin was a big man, and he had the right to know the telegram from Tokyo, so that if there was news of the Guards Division, they would be prepared in advance and avoid it in time.
"Ours, friend! Don't worry, with me living in Kamakura, no one will dare to trouble you in Nagasaki......" Kamakura drank too much, and he said this with a big tongue while hugging Bai Yishui affectionately.
Entangled by Kamakura, Bai Yishui has reached the verge of going berserk. This little devil is not a thing, just hold him, his right hand is still scratching and pinching on him, making him goosebumps all over his body. Seeing that something was wrong, Mizumi dragged Kamakura away, and then, pretending to look at his watch, said, "Ah, it's almost ten o'clock, we have to go back." ”
"Ah, this is going back?"
"No way, it's too late, a few people, see you again."
Shui was afraid that something would happen, so he pulled up Bai Yishui and Zhang Dejiang and ran, and the three of them paid the bill, went out of the Maruyama soup house, and soon disappeared into the vast night.
"I say, why haven't we seen them around Your Excellency Kuroda?" After the three left, Seto asked the other two. Kamakura was already drunk, and after being pushed to the floor by Shirakusui, he immediately fell into a deep sleep. Among the four people, except for Kamakura, the others are all staff officers of a certain wing headquarters. One of Kuroda's subordinates was also related to the chief of staff of the wing, Kei Niijima, and Kuroda was hoping to gain access to the military port through Keiya Niijima, so he instructed his subordinates to bribe this relative. The two sides exchanged for many days, and Seto and the others once escorted Shinjima to Kuroda for a return visit on their ship, so they knew almost everyone on the ship.
"They definitely have more than one boat, the people of the Osaka division are cunning and cunning, how could they put their eggs in one basket?"
"That's right. I said, "This is our chance to make a fortune, and I've heard that their watches are so good that a lot of captains want to get a few......
While Seto and the other three devils were talking about Mizubu and the others, they had already returned to the inn where they were staying.
"Coming back? Drinking," they had just entered the room, when they heard a familiar voice ask.
"Head, you're here?" Shui Sheng said, turning on the electric light.
The lights came on, and he was sitting on the tatami mat alone, wasn't it Jiang Yonggang.
"How? What's the catch? Jiang Yonggang asked.
Zhang Dejiang turned around and stood in the corridor to check the wind, while Bai Yishui subconsciously wanted to check whether there was a monitoring device. Jiang Yonggang said: "I have checked it all, and there is no problem." ”
Bai Yishui stopped, and Mizuya sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, and the latter said, "We just came back from Maruyama Yuya, which is one of the best brothels in Nagasaki, and there, we met several marines. Head, it's strange that Seiichiro Kuroda really exists, and I heard from those marines that he came to Nagasaki to sell electronic watches. I'm worried, once we get in touch with his people, will it be exposed? ”
Jiang Yonggang frowned and thought about it, and said: "This problem can be put aside for a while, as long as we can determine the location of Koizumi Tonichiro, it doesn't matter if anything else matters, before that, it is important to figure out the port and time of the Guards Division." This kind of information is not accessible to ordinary people at all, and it is necessary to have access to high-ranking officers - what I am most worried about now is which military port the Guards Division will choose to go to sea. In addition to Nagasaki, there is also a Sasebo military port in the west of Japan, and perhaps the second group should send two people over. ”
Hearing him mention this, Shui Sheng said: "Of the several marines we know today, one of them said that he would introduce his cousin, a fleet commander, to us. I guess what he means, he probably wants to get a piece of the smuggling trade, how to deal with this? ”
"Is this news confirmed? If we could get to know a fleet commander, it would certainly be convenient for our operations, but in this way, the risk of exposure would also increase exponentially - we don't know what kind of person that Kuroda Seiichiro really is - so let's see that commander, but don't mention Kuroda Seiichiro or ask about other things, just treat it as a general communication. That's it for now. ”
"Yes."
Jiang Yonggang's concerns are justified.
The next morning, after Keiya Shinjima learned about last night's incident from Kamakura, he found several suspicious points, and he immediately went to Kuroda to question them.
Kuroda and his men are now the VIPs of the Combined Fleet, moving out of the detention center and into a five-room, two-story building, staffed with guards. After Koizumi and Kuroda negotiated their intention to cooperate, the details were handed over to a staff officer named Tatsuhito Hanazuka. Hanazuka said that the guards were in place to prevent them from being injured by angry officers, but Kuroda knew that they were under house arrest in disguise.
Koizumi is in need of electronic products and components for the Scholar Army, but at the same time, he has to beware of the Spies of the Cadet Army in Kuroda's team. In fact, he even suspected that Kuroda himself had been bribed by the Academy.
"They are not allowed to go near sensitive areas!" This was an order from Koizumi to Hanazuka, who strictly carried it out. In this way, Kuroda and the others are called VIPs, but in fact, they still live like prisoners. This naturally made Kuroda's group of subordinates panic again.
When Niijima came over, Kuroda was surrounded by a group of men, and everyone asked worriedly: Are we not going back?
Kuroda doesn't know what to do about this. His own plan was to make a detour to the mountain pass or Tottori, where there were no important military ports. However, Shigeru Sawada's orders left him with no choice.
"You have to believe that Commander Sawada will never abandon us," he said in such a pale and feeble language to fool a group of men. No one believed that in the Battle of Hainan, the Osaka Division would bring disaster to the Combined Fleet. Who is Yamamoto fifty-six? Navy giant, this person is famous in Japanese military circles for favoring his subordinates, how can he ignore the fact that so many marines died in Hainan in the nest? "It's over, it's over, we're going to die this time!" There was a pessimistic devil who whispered, wanting to cry without tears.
Just then, a second lieutenant of the gendarmerie came to the door and said, "Your Excellency Kuroda, someone is looking for you. ”
Kuroda followed him suspiciously.
"This is the chief of staff of a certain wing of our Marine Corps, Shinjima Shosa, and he has something to ask you," the second lieutenant said this, and retreated.
"Hello Kuroda-kun! In Shimon-Shinjima Keiya, please take care of it! ”
After the Japanese greeting ceremony, Niijima cut to the chase and asked, "Your Excellency, are you not just a boat of 'Daitomi Maru'?" Or, on the way, one of you landed somewhere else in a small boat? After asking, he stared at Kuroda aggressively.
The cold sweat on Kuroda's face came down all at once.
He remembered one thing that Shen Gen'er had secretly cared for before, smacked his mouth, and felt that he was unlucky.
