Entering Ichihara's office, Ichihara quickly wiped the dust on a wooden chair with his sleeves, and then asked Sakurako to sit down.
Ichihara apologized: "Miss Sakurako, the fifth division is short of manpower, and now there are no people to clean the house. I'm so sorry!"
Yingzi said angrily: "Since you know you are short of manpower, why do you still want to trouble the Fourth Division? You don't have as many people as others, and you are responsible for so many defenses. Don't you know?"
Ichihara said helplessly: "Miss Sakurako, you don't know something. I have tried hard many times. But those people in the Fourth Division just couldn't get in. They said they didn't have time, and that they were only helping with defense. Yes, our Fifth Division has been in charge of the important military facilities in the city. They said that they did not want to break the harmony between the two armies.
Moreover, they did not receive orders from above to take over the city defense of Xintai County. Moreover, his troops had just arrived and needed to rest. Moreover, many soldiers suffered a large number of non-combat attrition due to acclimatization.
Therefore, if you want them to send people to take over the city defense, you need to report to the headquarters first, and then the headquarters will issue an order to their division commander, and then the division commander will issue the order to the brigade, and the brigade will then issue the order to The alliance, the alliance then went down to them. After that, they had to wait until all the wounded soldiers returned to the army before they could take over the city defense tasks of Xintai County.
Tell me, don't they just want to take care of Xintai County's defense? And if that's the case, what difference does it make whether they come or not? "
Yingzi frowned slightly when she heard this. She had also told Captain Rongtian of the Fourth Division about this before, and Captain Rongtian's reply was that they had just arrived, and a large number of soldiers had fevers and vomiting due to acclimatization. The troops are in urgent need of rest and recuperation. And it's not that easy to help defend.
Now the two divisions are stationed together. The fifth division obeys the orders of the commander of the division, Ban Heng, and the fourth division naturally obeys the orders of the commander of the fourth division.
So there are many problems in this. Who is responsible for the defense of Xintai County? The Fourth Division should obey the orders of the Fifth Division, or the Fifth Division should obey the orders of the Fourth Division. Or are both sides equal in the defense of Xintai County.
And if we want to assign defense issues, which defenses should be the responsibility of the Fourth Division, and which defenses should the Fifth Division be responsible for?
Therefore, they have to wait until the above reaches a unified opinion before they can implement it.
Moreover, Rongtian also said that the reason why the Fourth Division is called the main division is because they have steel-like discipline, and they will never be careless about the execution of orders and prohibitions.
So there is nothing that Miss Sakurako can do about this.
Although she also felt that the Fourth Division was trying to shirk the situation, they did find enough reasons.
So Yingzi scolded: "Even so, you can't hit people?"
Ichihara quickly added: "My imperial soldiers cannot be entirely blamed for this matter. The people of the Fourth Division are simply bastards. They just said yesterday that they had run out of daily necessities and needed to be replenished.
We asked the headquarters for instructions and sent them. But early this morning, two imperial troops from the Fourth Division were selling these daily necessities on the street.
The imperial troops of our fifth division were really angry, so they confiscated the other party's daily necessities. Then there was a quarrel between the two parties, and finally they both started fighting.
As for Miss Sakurako, our people didn't hit hard, the two sides just pushed and pushed. There is no way the men in the Fourth Division could be injured that badly. After all, they are all the imperial army, so why would we be so heavy-handed? "
Yingzi said angrily: "Baga, you are so stupid. You know that they can't find any excuses, but you still have a conflict with each other over such a small amount of daily necessities? It is simply stupid. You listen to me, and you will bring them later." Take the gift and go apologize to Major Rongtian. If you act more sincerely, I think this matter will be over."
Ichihara was surprised: "What? You still want us to apologize to them? They are obviously selling military supplies."
Yingzi said: "Now, what you need to do is to strengthen the defense of Xintai County, instead of getting into trouble because of trivial matters. Now the war is coming. Without the assistance of the fourth division, what do you think? Do you have the ability to face the Dragon Boat Festival Supervisory Corps alone? They are capable of wiping out an entire regiment at every turn. The few troops you have are not enough to fill their teeth. Think about it for yourself!"
"Hi!"
Ichihara bowed and saluted, while Sakurako stood up and left. She couldn't stay here for long. Because she still has a lot to do.
She also wanted to go to Captain Eita. If he didn't go, could he settle the matter with Ichihara?
Although he didn't know what was wrong with the Fourth Division of the Imperial Japanese Army, a majestic main division that didn't care at all about defense issues.
But what's the use of thinking about this at a time like this? She could only do her best to balance the relationship between the Fifth Division and the Fourth Division.
What's more, if you want to transport the weapons from the general arsenal, you need the help of the Fourth Division. Otherwise, after the Dragon Boat Festival appears, how can men immediately transfer the weapons and equipment of Xintai County?
Thinking of this, Yingzi quickly left the headquarters of the Fifth Division and got into the car.
Originally, she planned to go back the same way, but then thinking about the mysterious car just now, she asked her men to change the way back.
Zhao Jianzhi kept staring at Yingzi's car, but when he saw that it did not turn around, he knew that Yingzi must have noticed something and took another route.
He quickly ran back and reported to Zheng Yaoxian: "Brother Six, Yingzi took another route. She must have noticed something."
Zheng Yaoxian smiled and said: "She is still so cunning. Even if she is put in prison, she can still find a way to escape, hum!"
Zheng Yaoxian sneered, but at this time, Zhao Jianzhi said: "Sixth brother, what should we do?"
Zheng Yaoxian said with a smile: "Drive the car to Nanqiao Street. There is a bridge there. If she wants to return to the south of the city, she must pass there."
"Yes, Brother Six!"
Zhao Jianzhi accepted the order, then waved his hand, and all the military agents got into the car. Then the car started and headed straight for Nanqiao Street.
However, this time, Zheng Yaoxian may have to wait. Because Sakurako has no intention of returning to her residence immediately, but wants to see Major Eita.
She wanted to resolve the conflict between the Fourth Division and the Fifth Division first. Otherwise, it would be interesting if one of our own people is fighting in the nest while the enemy is in front of us.
And when that time comes, let alone sharing the same hatred, I’m afraid they will undermine each other, but that’s not necessarily the case!
