Chapter 41: Takashi Maruyama's Loyalty
"What do you mean, ma'am?" Yoshihiro Watanabe was stunned, he didn't expect Takashi Maruyama to say that.
Yuriko Takashiro is now nominally the acting head of the Takashiro family, the supreme commander of the Takashiro base, her words are the holy decree, and no matter who is in the base, they need to resolutely obey her instructions.
Not to mention that it was him Yoshihiro Watanabe, even Eguchi Du should also obey Yuriko Takashiro's orders. Although this matter was not approved by Eguchi, as long as there was a lady in front of him, then Watanabe Yoshihiro should immediately follow Maruyama Takashi's words to save people.
But here comes the problem, everything mentioned above is theoretical, and theoretically Yuriko Takashiro is the leader of the Takashiro base, which is larger than the Eguchi. But in reality?
Although Yoshihiro Watanabe's thoughts are not descendants, he also knows a little bit in his heart, and his boss has some opinions about the current acting head of the family, Mrs. Yuriko.
But what the specific attitude is, because Watanabe Yoshihiro and the platoon under him are not descendants of Eguchi, so it is not very clear.
Now in front of Watanabe Yoshihiro is a very difficult choice question, agreeing to Maruyama Takashi's request, following Takashiro Yuriko's order to go outside to save people, maybe he will offend his boss. If you refuse in order not to offend your boss, then you will definitely be embarrassed to explain to Yuriko Takashiro.
"This ......" Yoshihiro Watanabe was really embarrassed. He really didn't know how to choose at this moment.
"Didn't Captain Watanabe obey Madame's orders?!" Takashi Maruyama looked at the hesitant Yoshihiro Watanabe and became anxious, the time given to him by his wife was running out! I had no choice but to straighten my face, and my voice became cold. In fact, he doesn't like to oppress people like this, but he can't control it so much now!
"It's not! No! Seeing Takashi Maruyama's face, Yoshihiro Watanabe was furious in his heart, he was not his subordinate, what kind of face!
"And what does Captain Watanabe mean?" Takashi Maruyama watched the time pass minute by minute, and his heart became more and more anxious, and at the same time, his face became worse and worse.
"Why don't I go to the quarantine area and ask the captain to see what he has to say?" Yoshihiro Watanabe knew he would have to make a decision on his own, but he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
"Yoshihiro Watanabe!" Takashi Maruyama directly called the other party's name this time, and you can tell how angry he is from here! What do you mean by that? Does Madame's order still need Eguchi's approval? When will the Gao Cheng family be decided by a subordinate?! ”
This time, Maruyama Takashi was really angry, not because he was in a hurry before, and what Yoshihiro Watanabe said just now was a bit rebellious! Let's not talk about whether Yoshihiro Watanabe was unintentional or intentional, just that sentence can be seen that Eguchi has seriously threatened the status of Yuriko Takashiro in the base!
"Ahh Maruyama Chief Guard misunderstood! I didn't mean that, I just thought, such a big thing must be reported to the captain, there is no other meaning! Yoshihiro Watanabe regretted what he said just now, and he quickly explained it when he knew he had said the wrong thing.
"That's right." Takashi Maruyama looked a little better after hearing this explanation and seeing that Yoshihiro Watanabe's expression didn't look like a lie, "There's no need to report, I think as a descendant of the Takashiro family, there is no objection to the decision made by the master, do you say?" ”
"Huh? Oh, yes! Yes! Watanabe Yoshihiro looked at Takashi Maruyama, who was staring at him in front of him, and a cold sweat broke out in his heart, he knew that what he said just now was a faint reminder to himself, even if he Eguchi was now the military commander of the base, and his power was monstrous. But in the final analysis, he is still a subordinate of the Gao Cheng family, a minion. Is it because of a subordinate to go against the master?
"Then let me ask again, Captain Watanabe, what do you mean?" Takashi Maruyama saw that the beating was almost over, and asked the original question again.
"Hmm......" Yoshihiro Watanabe smiled bitterly in his heart, what could he do? All right...... I will take people to participate in the rescue operation. ”
"Good! It's not a loss to Captain Watanabe, I think my wife will be very happy when she finds out! Maruyama Takashi saw that Watanabe Yoshihiro finally agreed, and his heart was relieved, he stood up with a smile, looked at his watch and said: "Captain Watanabe, give you twenty minutes, you take a group of twelve from your platoon plus you are a total of thirteen people to bring equipment to the gate of the base to gather!" ”
Yuriko Takashiro gave Takashi Maruyama half an hour, and twenty minutes had already passed just now, so why did she give Yoshihiro Watanabe twenty minutes? Isn't that too much time?
Maruyama Takashi planned to do so, Takashiro Yuriko's original order was to take out a guard platoon of twenty people to go out to save people, but because Maruyama Takashi was worried about the safety of Takashiro Yuriko and Takashiro Saya mother and daughter, only twelve people were mobilized, and then Watanabe Yoshihiro, who had a common experience with Li Ye, joined in.
Such a thing must not be hidden, so the extra ten minutes are the time for Maruyama Takashi to prepare to report and explain to Yuriko Takashiro. At the same time, he also did not let Watanabe Yoshihiro know that this matter was actually his personal opinion, and it was Maruyama Takashi who used the identity of Yuriko Takashiro to deceive him before.
"Okay, in twenty minutes, I'll take a group to the assembly." After Yoshihiro Watanabe finished speaking, he picked up the military shirt hanging on the hanger and walked towards the door.
"Maruyama Chief Guard." Yoshihiro Watanabe, who walked to the door, suddenly turned around and looked at Takashi Maruyama.
"What?"
"It's nothing, please tell Madame, I think since it is! Madam! meaning, I, Yoshihiro Watanabe, will definitely resolutely carry it out! ”
Maruyama Takashi looked at Yoshihiro Watanabe, who had left to mobilize people, and his heart was agitated, "This kid, did you guess something?" No! It's me who is overthinking! ”
In fact, Maruyama Takashi found Watanabe Yoshihiro with a deeper meaning, Watanabe Yoshihiro's platoon is one of the platoons that are now neutral in the base, and it is not biased towards either Yuriko Takashiro or Eguchi.
This time, it was said that Yoshihiro Watanabe went out to save people, in addition to leaving more guards and platoons to protect Yuriko Takashiro, there are more important benefits. indirectly separated the relationship between Yoshihiro Watanabe and Eguchi, even if Yoshihiro Watanabe still can't turn to his side in the end, he must not be allowed to join Eguchi's camp!
After this incident, even if Yoshihiro Watanabe was unwilling, but invisibly, his platoon, himself, in the eyes of others, was already biased towards Yuriko Takashiro!
This is a plan that Takashi Maruyama thought of when he followed Yuriko's order to go to the guard platoon to mobilize manpower! He knew it wasn't a clever ploy, but it worked! Even if others see it later, it's too late! ……
"Maruyama! What's going on? Explain it to me! When Maruyama Takashi arrived at the meeting point, he saw that his subordinate Uchida Hayato had already stood in front of Yuriko Takashiro with his team armed to the teeth, and he had just been lectured by Yuriko Takashiro, and when Yuriko Takashiro saw him coming, he put him down and turned his head to look at him.
"Madame, I have something to report to you." Maruyama Takashi knew what Yuriko Takashiro wanted to ask and why the order was to come with twenty people, but only twelve came.
"Tell me, what's going on?" After the two of them walked aside, Yuriko Takashiro said in a cold voice, when she saw that there were only twelve people coming a few minutes ago, Yuriko Takashiro was not angry for the first moment, but wondered if even Maruyama Takashi had begun to disobey her.
"Madam, please apologize that I did not fully carry out your orders, but please believe in my loyalty to the Gao Cheng family, to Madame and Miss." Maruyama Takashi began to explain his actions without hurrying.
"I'll listen." Yuriko Takashiro didn't want to believe that Maruyama Takashi would betray, otherwise their mother and daughter would be really in danger. So even though I still have doubts in my heart, I still have patience. She wanted to hear the man in front of her.
"Madame Eguchi knows the situation, although it stands to reason that he won't make a move on Madame right now, but there are some things that must be foolproof, as the captain of the guard who protects Madame and the eldest lady, I won't let accidents happen. Therefore, leaving two-thirds of the guards to protect you and the eldest lady is my lowest step back. ”
"But with only twelve people, is it enough to save people?" Yuriko Takashiro said a little hesitantly, but her face was much better than just now.
After seeing that Yuriko Takashiro's originally tense face had improved a little, Maruyama Takashi continued: "Secondly, I didn't just transfer twelve people out, just now, I went to the barracks. ”
"Barracks? What are you doing there? ”
"I went to find the captain Watanabe who went out on a mission for the first time, Captain Watanabe and Master Komuro acted together once, and the two of them had a good relationship depending on the situation behind, this time I went out to save Master Komuro If I let Captain Watanabe go together, it would be smoother."
"Well, that's right, although the guards are good, but they haven't met Xiao after all, it's my negligence!" Yuriko Takashiro remembered that Li Ye had only been in the base for a few days before he had an accident, and most of the members of those guard platoons had never seen Li Ye's appearance.
"And madam, don't you think it's a good opportunity?" Maruyama Takashi lowered his head and whispered to Yuriko Takashiro.
"What do you mean?" Yuriko saw Maruyama's expression and knew what Maruyama meant after a little thought, "Well, this is indeed a good idea. ”
"So did Madame agree to my arrangement?" Takashi Maruyama had let go of his initial nervousness, and he knew that Yuriko Takashiro would definitely agree.
"Well, although you have made your own decision this time, I will not pursue it for the sake of your loyalty to the Lord! Not an example! Takashiro Yuriko's heart was relieved, although she was annoyed by Maruyama Takashi's first cut and then play, but thinking that he was also single-minded, she didn't care.
"Mrs. Xie forgive!"
