The car slowly drove into the headquarters located on Xiyangshi Street.
Yoshino got out of the car and opened the door for Yamamoto, while still thinking about what happened just now.
He was not surprised to see Xu San here.
Because Yamamoto reminded him just now, he remembered that Xu San was wearing a vest to perform Fujita Oki's mission. He just said Xu San's real name, which was considered a mistake.
In fact, if he were normal, he would not make such a mistake, but when he saw Xu San today, he happened to catch up with Wang Zhenzhen when she went out. This made him, who was single, suddenly start thinking about Feifei, and then he lost his mind and revealed Xu San's real name.
Fortunately, Yamamoto didn't pay attention.
Yamamoto got out of the car, straightened his military uniform, and then followed a guard towards the depths of the headquarters.
The headquarters located on Xiyangshi Street was probably renovated from the house of a wealthy family.
It's big and spacious!
And much of the original layout has been retained.
The early morning sunlight shines into a bright study room.
Yoshio Shinozuka was writing ink on a large desk.
He was very attentive and serious. Even if Yamamoto was standing at the door of the study, he ignored him. Instead, he waited until a word was written before he raised his head and looked at Yamamoto, and then said casually, "You first find someone." Sit somewhere for a while, it’s not a military order to come to you this time, so there’s no need to be so formal.”
"Hi!" Yamamoto responded, then found a chair and sat down.
Ten minutes later, Shinozuka finished writing a word again before putting the brush on Bidada.
He took two steps back, admired himself for a moment, and then shook his head, apparently dissatisfied with his handwriting.
He reached out to pick up the tea cup on the desk, took a sip of tea, and said, "Yamamoto-kun, what do you think of my handwriting?"
Yamamoto stood up, came to the desk, pretended to read it carefully, then lowered his head and said: "The general's painting is very penetrating and wonderful."
Shinozuka looked at Yamamoto with a smile and said, "Is this the truth or a lie?"
After Yamamoto hesitated for a moment, he said, "Back to General, I don't know calligraphy, but there is still a slight difference between your calligraphy and the ones hanging on the wall."
Yamamoto flattered him without missing a beat.
"Haha~ Yamamoto, it seems that you really don't understand calligraphy. How can my handwriting be compared with these people? If I can be half as good as theirs, I will die with no regrets." Shinozuka looked at the calligraphy on the wall. Calligraphy and painting said.
After finishing speaking, Shinozuka walked around the desk and found a folder from a bookshelf.
The folder was very thick, probably more than half an inch. Shinozuka took the folder and walked to Yamamoto, "Look at this first."
"Hi!" Yamamoto took the folder and saw a red seal stamped "Confidential documents, please keep them confidential" on it.
Seeing this seal, Yamamoto's heart trembled slightly, he raised his head and looked at Shinozuka: "General?"
"You take a look first and tell me what you think after reading it."
"Hi!"
Untie the outermost string of the folder and pull out the official documents from inside.
This is a battle damage report, a non-combat battle damage report, about the non-combat battle damage report caused by a sudden power outage this time it was too far away.
When he saw the title, Yamamoto felt a little confused, but he only hesitated for a moment before turning the cover. After turning over the cover, there is a catalogue, which are all reports from various units, some are familiar and some are unfamiliar.
I turned the page back and found the summarized numbers.
When he saw this shocking figure, even Yamamoto couldn't help but read out, "730,000 yen!?"
After saying this number, Yamamoto knew that he had lost his temper, so he quickly stood up and apologized, "Sorry, I lost my temper!"
Shinozuka pressed his palm gently and said, "Don't worry, there are all trustworthy people here. When I first saw this number, my reaction was similar to yours."
In fact, it is no wonder that Yamamoto was surprised. The figure of 730,000 yen would be almost 200 million RMB in later generations.
This number is not high for a city, but considering the background of the times, it is very scary.
Continuing to read the report, I found that most of the 730,000 yuan was electrical equipment, of which thermal power plants and army hospitals accounted for the majority. Together, they lost more than 500,000 yuan.
】
The power plant suffered heavy losses in various equipment, including power generation, transmission, and transformation. Just from the dense parts list, Yamamoto could estimate that the power plant was almost completely rebuilt this time.
After seeing the damage to the power plant, Yamamoto raised his head and looked at Shinozuka and asked, "With such a huge loss to the power plant, wouldn't it have a great impact on the defense of Taiyuan? Do you need me to send a group of soldiers from the special forces to assist?"
Shinozuka took a book from the bookshelf, flipped through two pages, and said, "No, this time I have deployed two squadrons of engineers to assist the Yin Teng Alliance in fully restoring the power supply that is too far away. Your troops, I will send another It has a purpose.”
Yamamoto recalled what he saw and heard after arriving at Taiyuan, and asked, "I saw that the power supply has been restored in Taiyuan today? Yin Teng Daizuo is worthy of being a top student of Dongda Civil Engineering!"
"50% of the power supply has been restored today, and it will take at least half a year for the rest to return to its previous state."
"Half a year? So long?" Yamamoto asked.
Shinozuka sighed softly and said helplessly: "Destruction is far easier than construction. The reason why it takes so long is not because of money. The empire's finances are tight now, and the money for restoration and construction basically has to be paid for by ourselves."
When it comes to money, Yamamoto really can't help much.
Although he now has some money on hand, his little money can be said to be a drop in the bucket for this far-reaching loss, and he has other uses for the money. If he is really asked to donate it, he would really be reluctant to part with it.
However, this is a rare opportunity to make a statement.
Yamamoto was confused for a moment.
Shinozuka smiled slightly and said, "Speaking of money, there are still places where I need Yamamoto-kun's help."
As soon as these words came out, Yamamoto immediately said: "As long as the empire is in need, Yamamoto Kazuki will do his best to help even if he spends all his wealth!"
Shinozuka put the book on the bookshelf, "I don't need your money. Even if you take out the little money, it won't do much to deal with this far-reaching loss. Instead, I will be blamed all over."
"I don't dare!" After hearing Shinozuka's words, Yamamoto quickly stood up and lowered his head to express that I didn't mean that.
Shinozuka changed the topic. He was not mentioning the money, but talking about Xu San Cement Factory, "Don't you have a cement factory?"
At the mention of the cement factory, Yamamoto was slightly moved and thought, could it be that General Shinozuka saw the cement factory making money and wanted to take it as his own? Although he was a little reluctant to leave, Yamamoto immediately replied: "Hi! I do have a cement factory, but the output is limited! If the empire needs it..."
Shinozuka waved his hand, "I don't need a cement factory either. I just want you to increase production."
