On the first day, the newspaper was only disseminated throughout Shandong.

"Captain, Takeshita General ......"

"Huh?"

"There's a newspaper here."

"Bring it."

……

Yoshimoto Sadashi looked at the telegram in his hand, his brows tightened, Jun Takeshita, what is the purpose of going to the independent division?

Carry out the plans of the empire?

Or was Jun Takeshita a Chinese spy in the first place? Otherwise, how could the two have a good conversation? Last time, didn't Jun Takeshita assassinate Zhou Weiguo and seriously injured him, and did he himself also seriously injure him? Could it all be fake?

As chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Yoshimoto knew Takeshita's mission to ease Sino-Japanese relations as much as possible, and if possible, to get China to recognize the legitimacy of the puppet Manchukuo, while trying to grab other benefits.

He admits that the empire's recent moves have been good, making the Chinese hesitate, and the voice of the people is very high. At the same time, he also sent people to activities constantly!

It's just, what is Takeshita Jun going to the independent division for? Convince Zhou Weiguo not to use the knife for the time being?

I'm sorry, forgive him, Yoshimoto Saichi doesn't think Zhou Weiguo agreed to this at all.

Or is it just for the two to catch up?

In any case, this matter must be known to His Excellency the Commander.

Standing up, Sadachi Yoshimoto went to find Mijiro Umezu. Recently, Umezu Mijiro has been very busy, busy reformulating the defensive line, and the loss of Chengde has made them very passive.

However, they also understand that defense is always passive.

"Your Excellency, Commander."

"Huh?" Umezu Mijiro raised his head, "Yoshimoto-kun, what's wrong?" ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, there is a telegram from the Independent Division."

"Oh. Say what? ”

"About the matter of His Excellency Jun Takeshita going to the Independent Division." Yoshimoto handed over the telegram, and then spoke, "Takeshita Jun and Zhou Weiguo talked happily and ate together. ”

"What's wrong with that?" Umezu Mijiro was puzzled, then looked at the telegram and snorted coldly, "Takeshita Independent Division, it is also required by the mission, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"Jun Takeshita, the last time I assassinated Zhou Weiguo, it's only been a few months."

Umezu Mijiro listened to Yoshimoto Sadachi's words, and began to think about it, and when he said this, it seemed that it was true, "As enemies on both sides, this wine and conversation really seem a little strange." But think about it, Takeshita now represents our Great Japanese Empire, is an ambassador, and naturally will not be treated badly! Yoshimoto-kun, I understand what you're thinking, but, Jun Takeshita, who is already the emperor's cousin, please don't doubt his loyalty. He also received a mission when he came to China this time. ”

"Hey!" Yoshimoto sighed, "I see." ”

Umezu Mijiro shook his head, "Instead of having all this time to pay attention to such things, it is better to think about how we in the Kwantung Army should deal with ourselves next." ”

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

"This time I lost the Chengde defensive line, although the base camp didn't say anything, but as the commander and chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, how could I not say anything?"

Yoshimoto sighed, because Umezu Mijiro was right.

He has already written a summary this time, but who is responsible for the failure? If you want to blame, you can only blame the independent division for being too surprised. In fact, their warriors have done a good job.

He knows all of this.

But he also knows very well that the base camp will not depend on how much you do, they just want the result! If you lose, you will be held accountable. Even if they are as commanders.

They bear a great deal of responsibility for winning or losing wars.

"Over at the base camp, although there is no blame, but now there is also a shortage of manpower, Yoshimoto-kun should know very well that there are too many battlefields opened up by the empire, and soldiers must be used everywhere, otherwise, there is no need to let Takeshita-kun come to China to take this trip, isn't it?"

"Hey! Your Excellency the Commander said yes! Yoshimoto Sadachi's tone was a little low, "I understand." ”

"Yoshimoto-kun, Takeshita-kun has his own tasks and positions, and we, there is no need to doubt it! You know, Takeshita-kun, it's impossible to rebel! ”

"Hey!"

"You go out, let the staff officers come in by the way, and discuss the issue of this line of defense that they have just agreed upon."

"Your Excellency, Commander, are we going to defend all the time?"

"Otherwise, do you have a way to fight back?"

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Commander." Yoshimoto Sadaichi was indeed helpless, their Kwantung Army, in China, tasted the first defeat, and the taste was still a little bitter.

……

"Well, this one tastes good!" Zhou Weiguo sandwiched a piece of beef, "I usually ask people to pack it." ”

"Yes yes! Although the Chinese beef method is different from the Japanese beef method, most of them maintain the original flavor of the beef, which is similar to the same thing. Takeshita smiled and nodded, "Moreover, Chinese sake, speaking of which, is still much stronger than sake." ”

"Hahaha."

……

The next day, the same newspaper and the same article appeared in everyone's field of vision again.

Zhou Weiguo smiled helplessly, "Speaking of which, it may be that the people want to know more about me, and I don't usually go out of the headquarters much." ”

"Well, I can roughly understand that, like, they adore you." Jun Takeshita nodded, "It's just that I don't know how to explain it to my superiors." ”

"You don't need to explain, whoever really believes in you will always believe it, won't you? What's more, isn't your coming to China also a task assigned by them? If they have to doubt this, then they will probably regret it too! I think they've already spread your heroic deeds all over Japan! ”

Jun Takeshita nodded, "Although I'm ashamed, but actually, I still enjoy that kind of process, everyone's worship and trust in you will give me a sense of satisfaction of being needed." It makes me feel like I'm doing my best for this country. ”

Zhou Weiguo shook his head helplessly, in his opinion, Jun Takeshita is a poor person under Japan's deformed education, as the young master of a big family, he doesn't have to fight so hard at all, he can have a good future, but Jun Takeshita needs to find the so-called satisfaction and sense of being needed in such a thing.

Being a person, it's a bit like living for someone else. After all, it's a little pitiful.

"Takeshita, you have to remember that you don't live for others, you should live for yourself! Even if our ideals are for the country and the people, we should still have our own lives! Zhou Weiguo patted Jun Takeshita's shoulder and spoke, "Or, when you are old and your ideals have been realized, what kind of life do you want to live?" ”

"Me?" Jun Takeshita suddenly remembered, that one, bright smiling face, and that one, a beautiful voice, "Probably, I also want to find someone I like to accompany for a lifetime!" ”

Zhou Weiguo raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said no more.

Youthful feelings.
