Chapter 1412: When the Gate of Glory (Second update, please subscribe)
"Little official, little official, what is that in front of your horse? It's flashing, fluttering, fluttering. Isn't that the banner of the conquest of Africa? Conquer and conquer, conquer to the end, attack and attack, attack to the end..."
In the Japanese provinces, military songs are played on the radio every day. They are passionate, heroic, and full of emotion. Compared with other areas, after the empire mobilized and declared war, this place has fallen into some kind of extreme fanaticism. For those who grew up in
Young Japanese people under the rule of the empire are eager to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, eager to prove to the world that they are also subjects of the empire, willing to sacrifice their lives for the empire, and willing to serve His Majesty.
I don’t know how many people wrote bloody letters to express their will. In their view, this is a very rare opportunity, an opportunity for them to show their personal loyalty to the empire.
I don’t know how many people have dreamed of this opportunity for many years.
Of course, being able to become an imperial soldier is a supreme honor in itself!
After all, for many years, only people with noble family backgrounds could serve as soldiers in this land. As warriors of the empire, they went to Africa to build the empire, opened up territories for His Majesty the Emperor, and made great contributions.
For ordinary people, they are not even qualified to be soldiers. After all, only samurai can become soldiers in Japan. But now with the mobilization order of the empire, everything is different. Everyone has the opportunity to become an imperial soldier.
Your Majesty the Emperor is loyal.
Become a soldier of the empire!
What an honor this is!
After leaving the military service office, when Seitaro Itagaki passed by a nearby clothing store, he couldn't help but stand in front of the glass display window again - behind the display window was a wooden military mannequin, wearing beautiful military uniforms, countless times.
Appearing in the dreams of young people like Abe.
Standing in front of the glass window, I saw that the boy reflected in the reflection of the glass was thin and his clothes were shabby, but his figure was much taller and straighter.
With the reflection overlapping with the military uniform model behind him, Itagaki Seitaro felt a force pouring into his body from the beginning to the end.
strength!
Is this...this what it feels like to become an Imperial soldier?
In other words, is it the power that a successful imperial soldier possesses?
Yes, Imperial Soldier...just these four words symbolize infinite power!
When he returned home with cheerful steps, Itagaki Seitaro did not immediately open the door and go in. Instead, he took a deep breath before walking into the yard.
"Mother, I'm back!"
Seeing her son return, Keiko walked out on wooden clogs, looked at him expectantly, and asked worriedly.
"How's it going? Taro..."
No
"Mother, I succeeded, I succeeded!"
Itagaki Seitaro shouted excitedly when he took out the thin enlistment notice.
"Mother, look, this is the empire's enlistment notice. I will be a member of the empire's army in three days!"
When Itagaki's excited shouts rang out in the courtyard, his grandfather walked out of the house. This well-known sinologist in the county also said excitedly after hearing this.
"Oh, hurry up and show me the enlistment notice!"
After wearing Laohuajing, he looked at it solemnly, looked at Itagaki with pride and said.
"My eldest grandson! You have accomplished something! Keiko, this is the pride of our whole family. My..."
He patted his chest.
"He was a sinology lecturer in the feudal lord's family and taught sinology all his life. The same is true for your father. Now our Itagaki family finally has a soldier!"
Patting Itagaki's shoulder hard, he said excitedly.
"You are the pride of our family!"
"Yes, yes, it is the pride of the Itagaki family!"
Keiko hugged her son and her eyes were red.
Honestly, as a woman, what does it mean for my son to join the army during the war?
It means being loyal to the empire and His Majesty the Emperor!
Being loyal will kill you! It is impossible to say that you don’t feel sorry for yourself.
However, what an honor it is to become an imperial soldier!
Soon, Itagaki's father Masintoku, a Chinese teacher at a local middle school, came back with his younger brother Shiro. As soon as Masintoku got home, he heard his father say.
"Zheng De, go buy some braised meat and wine and come back."
"Father, what day is today?"
Zhengde asked.
"Haha, Tailang is an imperial soldier!"
"My eldest brother is an imperial soldier!"
Before his father could answer, Shiro, who had just entered the house, shouted excitedly.
"Is it true, brother, are you really an imperial soldier?"
After receiving a positive answer, Itagaki Seishiro shouted excitedly.
"My eldest brother Taro is an imperial soldier. My eldest brother Taro is an imperial soldier."
While shouting excitedly, Itagaki Seishiro excitedly ran to his mother and said.
"Mother, mother, when I grow up in the future, I will also be an imperial soldier, and I will also..."
"Then you have to chew more bones. Otherwise, if you are too short, the imperial army will not want you. Moreover, imperial soldiers must also be educated. You must study harder in the future..."
Keiko rubbed his son's big head. This little son was short in stature but had a big head. Moreover, his academic performance was not very good because he didn't work hard enough. Then he said,
"Go, go buy some wine and give Taro a good celebration today..."
Just when Itagaki Seishiro was about to go out, he heard the sound of firecrackers coming from outside.
Itagaki Masanori seemed to have remembered something.
"Haha, I know why so many people set off firecrackers today. It turns out it's to celebrate! Shiro, buy another bunch of firecrackers. You must celebrate well today!"
On this day, many Japanese people are celebrating. They bought braised vegetables, drinks, and of course firecrackers. In order to see off the children who enlisted in the army, at the dinner table, these young people sat on an equal footing with their fathers for the first time.
The same goes for the Itagaki family. As they chatted, they talked about their expectations for the future.
"In the future, when Taro joins the army, the Itagaki family will change their surname to Ita!"
Mr. Itagaki said directly.
"The surname Ban is a relatively rare surname in China, but it does exist. I specifically checked that there was Ban Shaozheng in the Ming Dynasty. Our Ban Heng family is probably from this place. With Taro's military exploits, we can
Maybe we can recognize our ancestors and return to our clan openly and righteously!"
In the past nearly twenty years, the most popular vocabulary in Japan has been "recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan". To put it bluntly, it means to find a Chinese ancestor. Of course, this ancestor cannot be recognized casually. It needs to go through
The recognition of the ancestral hall of the family.
Although the Itagaki family is a sinologist and it is extremely easy to pass the naturalization exam, he is stuck on "recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan" - he needs to issue the approval of the Itagaki ancestral hall, which means that he needs to go to China, which will take a lot of time.
Quite a few.
However, now that it is better, Taro has become an imperial soldier, and he will naturally have to use a Chinese name when he is in the army. The Ban family can directly recognize their ancestors and return to their clan at the Secretariat. As for the recognition of the ancestral hall, it will naturally be handled by the official.
"For the entire fifteen years, fifteen years ago, grandpa and I passed the naturalization exam because of my outstanding teaching, but I was stuck in the ancestral hall's recognition. Now I'm fine, my eldest grandson..."
After taking a sip of wine, Mr. Itagaki said excitedly.
"You are an imperial soldier, and our family can recognize our ancestors! Haha..."
After sighing, Mr. Ban looked at his eldest grandson and said.
"Taro, when you wait on the front line, you must be brave to kill the enemy!"
