2. The Land of the Rising Sun (4)
Akiyama nodded, his eyes shining with joy, "Yes, the 'Yoshino', its speed is 22.5 knots, which is much faster than the 14.5 knots of the Qing Kingdom's capital ship 'Dingyuan', if our Yoshino catches up with Dingyuan, it will definitely be able to sink it!" ”
When a man talks about his career, he is always very confident and proud, and Junko also thinks that Akiyama-kun's eloquent talk at this time is particularly charming, "Yes, Akiyama-kun, you are really amazing!" ”
"I'd love to see the Yoshino right away!" Akiyama said very excitedly, "Such a powerful warship can contribute the best strength to the empire," he raised his head, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, and sighed: "If my life can be exchanged for a screw of the 'Yoshino' ship, I will not hesitate to say, please take it!" ”
Junko stepped forward and grabbed his hand, "If Akiyama-kun allows it, I'm willing to use one of my screws to switch back to the 'Yoshino' ship." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Holding Junko's soft hand, looking at Junko's red and fluttering round face, the corners of Akiyama's eyes gradually turned red, he held the warm and delicate hand, and said impulsively, "Junko, I want you ......"
Smelling Akiyama's sudden and rapid snort, and seeing the look of hunger and thirst flashing in his eyes, Junko closed her eyes, "As long as Akiyama-kun is happy, please take it...... Junko is willing to give everything to Akiyama-kun! ”
Akiyama leaned down, and just as he was about to touch Junko's tender lips, he stopped, "No, Junko, I'm still just a student now, please wait for me, or let me, Akiyama Mayuki, come and enjoy Junko again after becoming an officer of the 'Yoshino' in the future!" ”
Junko was in the pavilion halfway up the mountainside, snuggling up to Akiyama Shinyuki, "I will definitely wait for Akiyama-kun," the two of them snuggled up to each other, "Look, Akiyama-kun," she pointed to the white clouds slowly floating up on the mountain, "Junko, I seem to be this white cloud, Akiyama-kun seems to be the green pine, you are so tall, and I will always accompany Akiyama-kun!" ”
"Junko, please wait for me," Akiyama Shinyuki wrapped his arms around Junko's slender and weak but very energetic arm, "When the Imperial Japanese Navy dispatches to defeat the Qing Dynasty's Beiyang Naval Division, then I will officially ask Junko's father to marry, I believe the time will come soon, please wait patiently for me!" ”
Junko sweetly returned to her home, the time was not early, and she was ready to start dinner business, Junko was very happy, humming the cherry blossom tune and working in Mari, and after a while, there were suddenly many people shouting on the street, very excited and running around a little fanatically, "His Majesty the Emperor has issued an edict!" ”
"The edict has been issued!"
The shopkeeper was very excited, "Is it true?" He poked his head out, "This is a rare opportunity!" He hurriedly ran out, not even caring about business, and after a while, the shopkeeper came in with a wooden box, "Junko! He happily shouted to his daughter, "His Majesty the Emperor has ordered everyone to donate, and another powerful warship is about to enter our national navy!" ”
"Nani? Is this true? Junko's eyes widened, "Another powerful warship?" Is it a warship as powerful as the Yoshino? ”
"Yes, it's as powerful as the Yoshino!" It turned out that the shopkeeper was holding a donation box in his hand, "The emperor has decreed, and the new warship is called 'Kanagawa!'" He took a handful of money out of the drawer, put it in the donation box, thought about it, picked up the whole drawer, shook it, and threw all the money into the donation box.
A few coins fell to the ground, Junko hurriedly bent down and picked them up, "Dad, His Majesty the Emperor is still hungry, if we donate money to buy this warship back, can we defeat the Qing Kingdom?" ”
"Absolutely!" The shopkeeper said firmly, at this time, there were customers who kept coming in, and when they saw this donation box, everyone threw money into it, "Yoshino and Kanagawa, together, will definitely be able to defeat the Qing Kingdom!" ”
"Is that really the case?" Junko nodded firmly, "Then we must work hard." ”
"Kanagawa, thank you!" The shopkeeper kept bowing to the customers who had donated, and when he heard Junko say this, he said strangely, "Haven't we been working hard?" ”
"No, it's Dad's effort," Junko shook her head, her eyes were a little confused, she rushed out of the store, followed the bustling street, and looked at the torii Kaiyama on the street street in the distance, "Junko, I haven't worked hard yet, for Akiyama-kun, for the Kanagawa, I also want to be a screw on the warship, Akiyama-kun....." Junko muttered to herself, "Please understand, I have to do my own efforts too!" ”
Akiyama Shinyuki returned home, he was not a native of Tokyo, here, only he lived with his brother Akiyama Yoshiko, on the way, Akiyama Shinyuki also knew that His Majesty the Emperor had issued an edict to continue to buy a new cruiser, he rushed back home excitedly, and shouted loudly to his brother Akiyama Yoshiko, who was reading the newspaper, "Brother, have you heard His Majesty's edict?" Our Navy is going to add another cruiser! ”
Akiyama was unmoved, just lowered his head and continued to read the newspaper, although he is now in his thirties, but his hair has fallen out, only a bare head remains, this is because when Akiyama Yoshiko was studying in France, he took all the money to the library to borrow books to study, and he was reluctant to use money for treatment when he had a cold, so all his hair fell out, "I already know about this, really, as a soldier of the empire, you should not be so impetuous, but should treat this matter calmly." ”
Akiyama Yoshiko is now the captain of the First Brigade of the Army's cavalry, and he is considered a middle-level officer, he is obviously very calm, "Please sit down, our mission has not yet begun, and the next few years will be when we really show the military strength of the empire, and there are still many things to do." ”
"Yes, brother," Akiyama Shinyuki suppressed his excitement and sat down on his knees, "Brother, we are ready, and there is no problem at all in starting a war with the Qing Kingdom now!" ”
"We're not ready," Akiyama Yoshiko put down the newspaper and shook his head and said, "We need to wait for a good opportunity, if the opportunity doesn't wait, then we are prone to failure, the Empire, failure is not allowed now!" ”
