Chapter 219: Having a backer is amazing
"Mr. Gangcun."
After Sumita Ryoshiro and the captain of the Army Aviation Battalion, Okuda Kikuji, left, General Yamashita finally asked the doubts in his heart.
"I don't understand why the plan to bomb the mountain city this time was given to Okuda-kun."
"Because he was once the Emperor's aide-de-camp? And he had a good relationship with Senior Sugiyama?"
The Sugiyama senior mentioned by General Yamashita is of great importance.
This senior Sugiyama was the one who clamored for the slogan "Destroy China in three months". He was the commander-in-chief of the First Army and the Minister of War Sugiyama Hajime.
"Mr. Yamashita." Commander Gangcun turned around and looked at General Yamashita who seemed a little dissatisfied, and said slowly: "We are fighting for the empire. As long as we can make contributions, it doesn't matter who is responsible."
Merit? General Yamashita was stunned for a moment, and a look of dissatisfaction instantly covered his face.
After all this time, it turns out it was for military merit.
Damn, these noble kids who got in through connections are so good. With the connections they have, they can quickly gain military exploits that others can't achieve.
In broad daylight, bombing a mountain city with a complete defense map is like feeding ready-cut meat to your mouth...
Commander Gangcun seemed to see General Yamashita's dissatisfaction, and comforted him with a wry smile: "General Yamashita, I know that with your military achievements, you can definitely become the leader of an army."
"But it's different in the eyes of those old guys. They value the whole more..."
"For them, a person's strength is not the capital for promotion. In addition to military merit, you must also have a background..."
General Yamashita sighed and said, "I really don't understand. What is the use of this method of improvement?"
"To put it bluntly, do you think your enemies will surrender just because you have a backer?"
"Besides, this guy doesn't deserve his reputation at all."
"Didn't they just drop the bomb directly into the chimney of the target ship during the exercise?"
"It's just luck. How dare you call yourself the 'King of Bombing'?"
"It's ridiculous."
Commander Gangcun frowned, but could not find any reason to refute.
The captain of the flying squadron in charge of the bombing plan, Kikuji Okuda, was very controversial in the Army Ministry.
Because he is very different from others.
The general promotion channel for people is to accumulate military merits and advance slowly.
As for him, he just went to Geneva as the "Emperor's Military Attaché" and had a tug-of-war negotiation with the British and American delegations on the proportion of ships of each country.
But even so, after three years of negotiations, no results were achieved.
However, he rose through the ranks from a small attaché to become the leader of the Japanese negotiation team. After returning to China, he was promoted to his current position in less than a year.
What is his ability?
It can be said that he had no military achievements at all.
The most ridiculous thing is that there are people who claim that he participated in the air raid on Shenyang by the Kwantung Army on the night of September 18th...
This is too much boasting,
You have to know that he is a navy. The attack on Shenyang and even the occupation of the entire Northeast were carried out by the Kwantung Army. It was the army's business. What does it have to do with him?
There is even a legend that the bomb he threw into the chimney was dropped in Shenyang, and it was not aimed at a target ship, but at the arsenal in Shenyang.
But he was still in Geneva at that time.
King of bombing? I bought a watch last year...
He was only good at advocating the so-called "strategic bombing" and had almost never participated in actual combat, but he was assigned to the front line as the captain of the aviation brigade directly under the Army Aviation Department...
Bah, those guys are just gilding him to facilitate their promotion.
Eight wild deer, what do they think our front line is?
"This guy is just like the head of the vertical character section in the south." After a while, Gangcun smiled bitterly and said, "They both rely on the backing behind them to get more opportunities than others."
"A young man in his twenties could actually become the head of the Vertical Word Section and be in charge of the southern transportation network."
"If it weren't for Mrs. Yamamoto, that guy wouldn't even be qualified to be my personal orderly."
Why are you suddenly mentioning Chen Yang?
General Yamashita's face changed slightly, and Commander Gangcun looked at him meaningfully.
Could it be that? Okubo Rikio and his people were discovered? Those supplies?
"General Yamashita, I heard that Okubo-kun sent another telegram to the mainland requesting supplies."
"Sometimes you have to take care of your subordinates."
"From the Battle of Xuzhou to the Battle of Wuhan, your Fourth Division took away nearly one million yen in material allowances."
"That's one-third more than our 11th Army."
"Senior Sugiyama is very dissatisfied with your performance. They have sent a complaint telegram to the mainland."
"If you don't restrain yourself, I'm worried that you will alert the Army Inspection Department."
Bah, General Yamashita disagrees.
So what if it’s the supervisory department? Won’t there be any consumption on the battlefield?
Our Fourth Division soldiers are so brave and charge into battle, so isn't it normal that they consume more resources than others?
If anyone dares to use this as an excuse, the 4th Division will bring the case to the Emperor.
Shanghai, Plum Blossom Tower.
"Assistant Chen, all the supplies have been delivered to the warehouse of the North City Material Transfer Center." Toshio Komuro smiled and handed a pile of material lists to Chen Yang for inspection.
Every page of the material list is signed by Koichi Nitta, confirming that the materials have entered the warehouse.
After Chen Yang looked through the list of all the supplies, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Komuro-kun, I just like dealing with people like you. Unlike Minister Yoshikawa, he procrastinates."
"Do you know how many days it took me to ask him for the supplies seized by the Logistics Department?"
"It took him eleven days to reluctantly give up his 20 percent share."
"And yet they kept telling us to sell slowly so as not to attract the attention of the Special Higher Police."
Komuro Toshio laughed dryly and said, "Minister Yoshikawa has a lot to consider. He is old and has many concerns. It is understandable."
Chen Yang laughed, opened the drawer, took out a check and handed it to Toshio Komuro.
"Ten thousand dollars?" Toshio Komuro's hand holding the check began to tremble.
How much is this? At the current exchange rate, it is 40,000 yen.
He had been in the logistics department of the 4th Division for so many years, and he had only saved 30,000 yen by scraping money here and there.
There's no way, the supplies business is not just his.
The difference is that he is a runner, so he can get a little more when the money is divided.
The check Chen Yang gave him was more than what he had earned in the past few years.
"Mr. Komuro, don't have that expression. I will think you have some immoral thoughts about me." Chen Yang joked.
Now Toshio Komuro's expression is tearful and exciting, and his whole body is emitting a message.
I'll give you whatever you want.
Even me.
Ok.
