my bright sword career

Chapter 52

Of course Zhou Ziruo was not stupid, he saw the people around him starting to run on him with one word and one word, and then he realized that he had made everyone angry.

No wonder, this is Shanxi.Gao Hongming just earned so much face for the people in his hometown, and when he was proud, he came here to yell at them, can they not be in a hurry?

He is also a straightforward person. When he sees that there is nothing to do, he immediately withdraws and retreats: "Since Commander Gao is unwilling to accept the letter of appointment from the Military and Political Department, then I will not force it. Sirs, the Ministry will leave."

"That's right." Yan Xishan said with a smile: "Twisted melons are not sweet. After you go back, report the situation to Jingzhi truthfully, and he will understand."

"Senior officers, Mr. He is still waiting for news in Chongqing, so the staff department will leave first."

Zhou Ziruo simply said goodbye to everyone after saluting.

Until Zhou Ziruo was nowhere to be seen, He Yingqin looked at Gao Hongming for a while and asked, "Son of the Gao family, tell me why you didn't accept the letter of appointment from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs just now? You should know that as long as you accept it, it will be a serious matter." Now that you are a colonel of the National Army of the Eight Classics, don’t you want to honor your ancestors?”

Gao Hongming smiled wryly and said: "Mr. Yan, don't laugh at me anymore. Didn't you hear what Director Zhou said just now? But as long as I accept the commission, I'm afraid they will walk the dog like a dog if I don't get a cent of the money." It’s like walking around and playing around, if you don’t get the letter of commission today, you will be transferred to Chief Xue of the Ninth War Zone tomorrow, that’s why every day should not be called ineffective.”

"You little baby can see quite clearly." Yan Xishan nodded in satisfaction, this little guy from the Gao family can make money, and also knows how to advance and retreat, this is the most rare thing.

"Son of the Gao family, you and I are fellow villagers in Liantai County, and your father and I have known each other before, and you are not an official member of the national army, so it's okay for the old man to call you that?"

Gao Hongming dare to say that there is a problem, Yan Laoxi said to the public that he is the chief of the World War II zone and holds the military and political power in Shanxi.

In private, people whose grades are dozens of years older than me and who are from the same town as me have no problem calling me a child in my whole life.

"Of course there is no problem. You are not only the chief of our World War II zone, but also the elder. You can naturally call the junior that way."

"That's good. Tonight, the old man is preparing a little beer at home. I treat you to a light meal. Will you be rewarded?"

Although Yan Xishan used the word please, it was full of unquestionable tone.Faced with the invitation of this old man who has controlled Shanxi for more than 20 years, can Gao Hongming refuse?
"Since this is the case, the younger generation should be respectful rather than obedient."

"Haha... that's right..." Yan Xishan laughed loudly.

The security of the military airport on the outskirts of Taiyuan today is much stricter than usual, and all vehicles entering and exiting will be strictly checked, because Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army stationed in Shanxi, drove to the airport early this morning. Come, in its words, he will personally greet the heroes of the Army Air Corps who have returned in triumph.

The commander came, and as the highest-ranking officer at the airport, Captain Fujino Shigeharu of the No. 20 First Squad was of course personally accompanying him.

Yoshio Shinozuka sat on a stool on the tower, looked at the sun that had risen into the sky, stretched his waist, and let out a comfortable moan, "The sun in spring is really intoxicating, Fujino-kun, Yamamoto-kun, your hometown Should the cherry blossoms be in bloom?"

"Yes, Commander."

Fujino Shigeharu replied: "The humble home is in Ueno. In this season, our whole family will go to Ueno Park to enjoy the cherry blossoms every week. There are snow-white Somei Yoshino (a kind of cherry blossoms) everywhere. I can't see that kind of scenery. Can't get enough of it."

"Yeah...it's the cherry blossom viewing season again." Yoshio Shinozuka sighed softly, "I really miss my relatives back home."

"You don't have to worry, Commander." Somei Yoshino bowed and said, "As long as we work harder and wipe out the Chinese government hiding in Chongqing, your Excellency Commander can return to Japan to reunite with relatives at that time."

"I hope so."

Shinozuka Yoshio sighed, turned his head to look at Kazuki Yamamoto who was on the other side with a blank expression, and asked curiously: "Yamamoto-kun, do you have any different opinions?"

Kazuki Yamamoto, who had been standing on the right side of Shinozuka Yoshio, bowed slightly, "Your Excellency Somei, please forgive me for disagreeing."

Fujino Shigeharu's eyes narrowed, "Oh... would like to hear Yamamoto-kun's great opinion!"

Kazuki Yamamoto pointed to the endless airport and asked, "Your Excellency Somei, what do you think of this airport now?"

"Feeling?" Fujino Shigeharu frowned, "Yamamoto-kun, please don't play charades, just tell me what you have."

Kazuki Yamamoto chuckled: "Okay, then I'll just say it straight. After I came to China, I only had one feeling... that is big... very big, this is a piece of land that is dozens of times larger than the mainland of the empire." If you want to conquer such a large area of ​​land, I am afraid it will not be possible in the short term."

"short term?"

Fujino Shigeharu raised his brows, "Yamamoto-kun, have you forgotten that only four years have passed since the full-scale war started, and the imperial army has already occupied most of the territory of China, and the functions of the government of China are hiding in the high mountains of Chongqing, lingering, you actually said Can't it be done in a short time?"

Kazuki Yamamoto laughed lightly: "Somei-kun, don't forget that Mr. Sugiyama Moto once said that the China Incident would be over in three months, but what happened?"

"idiot!"

Fujino Shigeharu cursed angrily, then realized that he had lost his composure, and bowed to Yoshio Shinozuka: "I'm sorry, Commander, I lost my composure."

"fine."

Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand, "I'm very happy to hear two excellent officers arguing with each other, you guys go ahead."

"Hi!"

Kazuki Yamamoto continued: "I have always believed that we have already occupied all the cities and lands along the coast of Manchuria, the richest part of China, so why do we have to occupy the entire territory of China?
China is too big, and with the current population and military strength of the empire, there is no way to swallow such a large territory in one go.

Instead of swallowing elephants, it is better to dive down and slowly manage and digest the sites that have already been acquired. After we really control all these places, it is not too late for us to plan other places.

I don't understand, why don't those people in the base camp understand such a simple truth? "

"Ha ha……"

Shinozuka Yoshio said with great interest: "Yamamoto-kun, I didn't expect you to be a believer of Ishihara Kanji. This is really beyond my expectation."

Kazuki Yamamoto nodded: "Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Wanji Ishihara is a genius strategist, but unfortunately..." He shook his head and stopped talking.

Fujino Shigeharu frowned: "Yamamoto-kun, what you said sounds reasonable on the surface, but in fact it doesn't work."

　Sorry, Fujino Shigeharu's name was typed wrong, but it has been changed back now.
