Kugoshijiro, who exuded an elegant temperament, carefully took the wine glass handed by Kenji Doihara with both hands, put it away, and said with a smile: "Sir Doihara, thanks to you, Kugoshi has been having a lot of fun recently. At the same time, , I personally gained a lot from this trip to China."
His words were full of respect. For this dutiful Imperial Lieutenant General, as a junior, he had deep reverence and respect from the bottom of his heart.
Yes, reverence and respect.
Kugoshi Jiro, who was invited to travel to China, gradually got to know this Imperial Lieutenant General who was not popular but had been working hard for the great cause of the Empire through his contact with Doihara Kenji during this period.
He is of high moral character, diligent and frugal, loves the empire, handles things carefully, treats his compatriots with great care and care, and never cares about personal gains and losses.
To what extent does Kenji Doihara not care about personal gains and losses?
After the September 18th Incident broke out, Fengtian was in a state of anarchy, with zero funds and the city was in chaos. The Kwantung Army did not prepare funds and personnel for city management and security maintenance. Kenji Doihara directly parachuted in and became the mayor of Fengtian to manage the city. .
However, since Kenji Doihara had no savings, after he became the mayor, he borrowed a sum of money in his own name to maintain the operation of Fengtian City. It was not until the Kwantung Army's occupation of Fengtian was completely stabilized that it was transferred to the Kwantung Army. military.
However, since this matter is a private act and has not been authorized by superiors, there is no way to reimburse this huge expense for maintaining the operation of the city government.
Kenji Doihara did not cry or complain, nor did he ask his superiors to report the money. Instead, he quietly used his salary to repay this huge expense. For a long period of time, Kenji Doihara and his family could only live in In a rented house, a senior officer's living standard is equivalent to that of an ordinary worker, which is something that Jiro Hikigoshi can hardly imagine.
However, this is the truth.
There is another thing that Kagotsujiro knows, and that is the promotion of Kenji Doihara. Kenji Doihara, who graduated from RKU, undoubtedly belongs to the elite class.
Generally speaking, students who graduated from mainland universities can be promoted to the rank of colonel in only ten years. However, Kenji Doihara took about fifteen years to be promoted to colonel due to frequent transfers between the General Staff Headquarters and mainland China, which affected his promotion.
This would be unbelievable to others, but Kenji Doihara had no complaints.
To be honest, compared with Kenji Doihara, Jiro Kugoshi felt that he was inferior to him in every aspect.
In Chinese terms, this is called 'self-denial and devotion to public service'.
Of course, Kagotsujiro is also very happy in his heart. It is precisely because of thousands of Lord Doihara that the empire is as glorious and strong as it is today.
"Oh? I'm curious about what Kugotsu-kun gained from this trip to China. Do you mind telling me?" After hearing this, Kenji Doihara raised his glass, drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile.
"Personally, the first and biggest gain is the vastness of China. I took the train for seven days from the three northeastern provinces to Tianjin and then to Peking. I saw the majestic Changbai Mountains, the vast eastern The three provinces, the steep Shanhaiguan Pass, and the plains stretching for hundreds of kilometers are really vast.”
Kagotsujiro smiled, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. After the alcohol had subsided, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes: "This is something that has never been seen in Japan. Even the golf course in Beiping City is larger than Mitsubishi's." The golf course of Heavy Industry is more than ten times bigger. Don't be afraid of your ridicule, Mr. Doihara. This land is so vast that I have never imagined. It makes me feel as insignificant as an ant. I finally understand why the empire is so certain. Set your sights on this land."
Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling a thousand miles.
Jiro Jiro knew from books that the land of China is vast, but he had no specific impression. Only this trip to China allowed him to truly understand what vastness is!
The meaning of this word has been redefined.
This trip to China was secretly organized by the Japanese military ministry, inviting Jiro Kukoshi and other outstanding talents to come to China to broaden their horizons, understand why the empire was fighting, and better serve the upcoming Greater East Asia War.
"That's right. The land of China is so vast. Even I occasionally sigh in my heart. How happy and beautiful we would be if we were born in this land."
Kenji Doihara nodded, with a slightly serious face, and said seriously: "In the natural world, the weak eat the strong. The weak are not worthy of owning this land. Only we, the strong, and the noble Yamato nation are qualified to own it. "
"You are right. Only we are qualified to own it. In the past, I was narrow-minded and did not understand why the empire must occupy this land. But after this trip, I understand that the Yamato nation must have more living space. , and this land is the best choice.”
Gakuetsu Jiro looked dignified, straightened his back, and said what he said in his heart: "Your Excellency Doihara, in order to express my deep respect for you, I would like to thank you for your continuous dedication and contribution to the empire. You have worked hard. I would like to drink three glasses first. .”
After finishing speaking, he poured the wine with the most standard etiquette.
Then, drink three glasses of wine in a row to show your respect as a person.
"You don't have to be like this, Kukoshi-kun. You are the best aviation designer in the empire. If you want to toast, I should toast you. Thank you for designing and manufacturing excellent fighter planes for the empire. I also hope that you will continue to develop better aircraft for the empire in the future." In terms of aircraft manufacturing, ten Doihara Kenji are not as good as you and one Kagotsujiro."
Seeing the Empire's top aeronautical designer acting like this and decisively toasting, Kenji Doihara was startled. He wanted to stop him but couldn't, so he could only shake his head: "I will return home tomorrow, so don't get drunk, Kugoshi-kun."
"It doesn't matter, in terms of contribution to the empire, ten Gakuetsujiro can't compare to one Doihara of yours. This is what I should do. In addition, Gakuetsu is also very grateful for your warm hospitality and care during this time." Gakuetsujiro shook his head. He said, and then thanked him again.
Tomorrow he will take a flight back to China. This trip to China is over. He will soon return to the company to face a new round of research and development tasks.
After being informed by Kenji Doihara, Jiro Kugoshi knew some internal secrets, and the Navy would soon issue a development plan for a new fighter jet.
"These are all trivial matters. Come on, Kugoshi-kun, for the future of the empire and the Yamato nation, and for the ideals in your heart!" Kenji Doihara shook his head slightly, filled his glass again, and raised his glass.
"For the future of the empire and the Yamato nation, and for the ideals in your heart, do it!" Kugoshijiro's face was serious, and following Kenji Doihara's words, his eyes burned with fire, and he answered in a voice that was almost like an oath.
His voice was dignified and solemn.
Fight for the ideal in your heart!
The words were spoken and the wine was drunk.
They both put down their glasses at the same time.
Kenji Doihara was about to pour the wine again. Suddenly, a young woman's figure appeared in the room, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her eyes turned to Kagotsujiro: "Kigotsu-kun, wait a moment, I'm going to deal with some things."
"It's okay, Sir Doihara, please go and do your work, don't worry about me." Kagotsujiro shook his head repeatedly.
"Pop!"
Doihara Kenji smiled, clapped his hands twice, stood up and left.
Soon, two maikos dressed in kimonos appeared, dressed coquettishly, and music unique to Tokyo began to play.
"Yunzi, what happened?" Doihara Kenji walked into the office and asked the young woman Liao Yaquan who was already standing aside.
"There are two situations in total. First, today the Journal of Tsinghua University and the Journal of Peking University jointly released the latest journal. The content is Chinese mechanical drawing, which contains complete industrial drawing standards. The author's name is Zhang San. It is not known whether he is a pseudonym or his real name." Liao Yaquan, who was in military uniform, had a serious face, opened the document in his hand, and reported the intelligence content.
"Baga! What's going on? Where did this Zhang San come from?! This has dealt a serious blow to the blockade plan that the empire has been implementing."
As soon as the news came up, Kenji Doihara couldn't help but his expression changed, and he couldn't help but curse. He took a deep breath, kept a calm mind, and after a brief thought, he immediately issued an order: "Investigate the author immediately. Once confirmed to be the author, follow the instructions. Order No. 23 carries out the assassination and the author cannot be allowed to live."
As a third-generation spy giant, he is not only the head of the Doihara intelligence agency, but also the main executor of the empire's blockade plan.
Blocking knowledge and blocking talents with advanced technologies will never enhance the opponent's strength.
The former is not easy to do because the other party will have more or less knowledge, but the latter is extremely easy and only requires one bullet to accomplish the goal.
Over the years, countless outstanding Chinese talents have died in his hands.
Everything is for victory.
After hearing the order from Doihara, Liao Yaquan immediately recorded the entire order.
"What about the second situation?" Doihara Kenji held his breath and his face gradually calmed down.
"The second situation is that the Sixth Regiment reported a simple attack in its regular report. Two soldiers of the Regiment were killed in action. They were stabbed in the neck with a cold weapon and bled to death. Regiment Captain Nakashimamura Ichi It was defined as a simple attack, and I felt that this incident was very strange, so I listed it separately." Liao Yaquan opened the document, handed it to Doihara Kenji, and said seriously.
"This damn Hokkaido idiot!" Kenji Doihara took the document. After reading the content, his expression kept changing, and there was anger in his heart.
I was attacked with a cold weapon. Is this a simple attack?
This is a premeditated military reconnaissance act!
What on earth is this damn Nakajima Murichi thinking? !
Nowadays, the atmosphere of arrogance pervading the Kwantung Army is extremely strong. All soldiers look down on the upcoming war. Especially Nakajima Murichi of the Sixth Regiment. He has excellent military qualities and is a brave type who dares to charge and fight.
However, in Kenji Doihara's view, this Nakajima Murakazu is a complete idiot, a Hokkaido idiot.
Others don't know the importance of the Greater East Asia War, but as the supreme commander of the war advance team, doesn't he still know?
