Chapter 726: Catch the Wind Banquet (asking for a monthly ticket)
Junhei Uehara took Ning Zhiheng to a villa in the center of Wuhan, and everyone got off the car at the door of the villa.
Ning Zhiheng looked around and saw the spacious and tidy lawn in front of the courtyard through the magnificent door.
The three-story Western-style building has light red wall tiles on the outside, and the entire building is designed with a rigorous and rigorous design. It can be seen that this is an extremely high-end residence.
Armed guards were arranged at the gate, and they walked into the villa, and there were servants cleaning the house. When they saw Junpei Uehara and others coming in, they bowed and retreated.
When he arrived in the hall, Junhei Uehara smiled and said, "This is one of the best villas in Wuhan, and it is also a residence I arranged specifically for you. It is very close to my residence. I have sent a team of guards to protect it. There is absolutely no problem with safety."
"Thank you for your arrangement!" Ning Zhiheng looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and asked his followers to make arrangements. He and Junhei Uehara came to the sofa in the hall and sat down.
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, and Maki Kimura carried the two packaging boxes to the table. Ning Zhiheng stepped forward and opened them himself, revealing the thick booklet inside.
Ning Zhiheng took out a book, handed it to Kusuo Uehara Chunping with both hands, and said with a smile: "This time I came to Wuhan, I also sent you a book specifically to my uncle. In fact, it has been printed long ago. I also asked Mr. Kuroki and other scholars to appreciate it. They are all very satisfied with this book. I have given one. You can take a look first. If there is any change, I will change it again!"
Junhei Uehara quickly took the book, and saw that the cover was exquisite and the paper was warm and it was obvious that it was the best material.
"That's great, Ji-in!"
Junhei Uehara then looked through the contents inside. The fonts were full and clear, and the page layout was elegant. Junhei Uehara liked the more he looked at it.
This is his greatest wish. His words are written on paper and printed into books. This is his greatest wish.
"Are my uncle still satisfied?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied!" Jun Uehara didn't raise his head, and his eyes didn't leave his book for a moment, and he kept saying yes.
Seeing that he was so happy, Ning Zhiheng thought that his efforts were not in vain, so he continued: "This is the best hardcover version. I brought a hundred copies, which you can give to friends and colleagues in the army. In addition, I have sent someone to sell the printed books in major libraries in Shanghai, and then ship them back to domestic sales. I will send the sales income back to your domestic family. Do you think this arrangement is OK?"
"Very good, haha, I didn't expect that I would have a day to make money by selling books! In fact, my biggest dream when I was young was to become a writer, but unfortunately I finally wore a military uniform. I still think about it, life is really impermanent!" Junhei Uehara couldn't help but say with emotion.
He put down the book in his hand, but immediately picked up another one, looked through it carefully, smiling, without any concealing his joy.
After a long time, Junhei Uehara's mood calmed down. He looked at Ning Zhiheng and said, "Zhiren, thank you for your hard work. This is the best gift to me. Thank you for achieving this wish for me."
Ning Zhiheng smiled and said, "Uncle, you and my uncle are still grateful? These are all things I should do."
Junhei Uehara nodded with relief, chatted with Ning Zhiheng for a few more words, and asked about the specific situation in Shanghai and the situation after leaving the family.
He continued, "Zhiren, you were here in Wuhan and I should have served you a banquet and welcome you, but now the battle is imminent, and several senior officials are on the front line, so I have arranged a small welcome banquet for you tonight, all of which are my friends and subordinates. You are tired of boats, so you can rest first, and I will send Araki to pick you up in the evening!"
Junhei Uehara's attendant was Master Tetsu Araki. When he was in Shanghai, he was also familiar with Ning Zhiheng.
Junping Uehara originally planned to hold a banquet for Ning Zhihengda so that everyone could know that he had a nephew of a direct descendant of the Fujiwara family to show that he had a very strong relationship with the Fujiwara family. This is a very strong background in the military system. With this background, others should consider it more before doing things, so that they can be cautious and block many unnecessary wind and rain for themselves.
However, Ning Zhiheng's time is indeed not good now. The military chiefs each have their own preparations before the war. Wuhan is currently the rear base of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Force, which is Uehara Junpei, who is not responsible for specific military operations, so he has time to stay in Wuhan to preside over the intelligence work.
Ning Zhiheng nodded and agreed, "Uncle, you have trouble, follow your instructions!"
So Junpei Uehara got up and left with these books, leaving Ning Zhiheng to rest in the villa.
In the evening, Master Araki Takashi came to the villa and asked to see Ning Zhiheng, so Ning Zhiheng followed Araki Takashi to the official residence of Junping Uehara for a banquet.
Junping Uehara's official residence is a high-end villa nearby. When Ning Zhiheng arrived, Junping Uehara brought several officers to greet him.
Junhei Uehara introduced to the officers around him to Ning Zhiheng. This dinner was a small gathering, and not many participants were all close to Chunhei Uehara, including one or two lieutenant generals and senior officials with the same rank as his, and the others were colonels or officers at the rank of the sect. Ning Zhiheng carefully recorded their appearance and names one by one.
Everyone knows that Junhei Uehara has a nephew who is a direct descendant of the Fujiwara family. Today, when he saw his true face, he was quite close, and they all came forward to make friends and talk.
The banquet was very pleasant. Junhei Uehara not only arranged a sumptuous dinner, but also called geisha performances and other programs to entertain.
While drinking, Junhei Uehara ordered people to take out their books and give each friend and subordinate one.
Junhira Uehara held a book in his hand and said with a smile: "You guys, this is a work I wrote when I was young. It was originally a work for self-entertainment, but Ji Ren must publish it into a book. Alas, the article was written hastily. If it is inappropriate, I wish you all correct it! Haha!"
Everyone in the meeting was surprised. Junhei Uehara has always been famous for his calligraphy in the army. Everyone knows that his calligraphy is excellent. From time to time, people come to ask for calligraphy. Unexpectedly, they can publish books today.
For a moment, these people kept praising Junhei Uehara. Junhei Uehara was in a good mood and raised glasses with everyone, full of interest.
The banquet was late at night, and everyone was happy to say goodbye and saw off the guests. Ning Zhiheng stayed in the room, and his uncle and nephew had a tea and talked alone.
Jun Uehara usually has a serious face to face others, but today he rarely has such interest. His face was red, and he looked at the book in his hand with a smile. Obviously, the excitement and pleasure in his heart have not yet dissipated.
Ning Zhiheng smiled and joked, "Uncle, these people are all admiring you today. It seems that there are many people asking for books in the future. I will send some more, otherwise it will not be enough for you!"
Junpei Uehara laughed loudly. He put down the booklet in his hand, filled Ning Zhiheng's teacup, slapped his thigh, and said with a smile: "Zhiren, you can still speak, but you do need to send some more. In another week, the military chiefs of central China will return to Wuhan for pre-war military meetings, and it is estimated that a lot will be sent out."
Ning Zhiheng's heart moved and then asked: "The Changsha Battle has been prepared for more than half a year. I always said that I would fight before. After so long, is it really going to start?"
Junpei Uehara nodded heavily and said with certainty: "This battle is extraordinary. Changsha is the last barrier of the Chinese government in central China. Capture of Changsha is of great significance to both of us, so we must be cautious. However, China's land area is too large and its strategic depth is so deep. Since we occupied Wuhan, both soldiers and materials have been consumed too much, and the supply line has been too long. In short, it is unsustainable. The Nanchang Battle was launched again, which is almost our combat limit, so we have to spend a lot of time preparing. However, the preparations have been completed and the attack can be started soon."
Speaking of this, Junhei Uehara couldn't help but say proudly: "This time we have a great grasp of it. We can take the initiative in the early stages of the battle. I believe that this battle will be much smoother than the battle in Wuhan."
Hearing Junping Uehara's words, Ning Zhiheng suddenly thought of the leaked defense plan in northern Jiangxi. Looking at Junping Uehara's face, I was afraid that this was his proud work.
Ning Zhiheng didn't ask any more questions. Junpei Uehara was an extremely smart and experienced spy leader. Although he trusted him very much, if he had inquiries in his words, he would soon realize it.
While the two were chatting, there was a knock on the door outside the barrier, and the voice of the attendant Araki Takashi: "General, Takasaki Nakasaka asks for a visit!"
Junhei Uehara was stunned after hearing this. He pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Let him go to the side hall to wait for me!"
"Hi Yi!"
As the footsteps went away, Junpei Uehara said to Ning Zhiheng: "I'll come when I go, you can wait for a moment!"
"Hi Yi, please feel free to do my best!" Ning Zhiheng nodded and agreed.
Junhei Uehara stood up and pushed open the barrier door, quickly left, came to a room not far away, and pushed the door open and entered.
There was already a middle-aged man in military uniform waiting in the room. It was Shigetsu Takasaki, the intelligence officer of the military headquarters. Seeing Junhei Uehara coming in, Shigetsu Takasaki quickly stood up and saluted respectfully and said, "Your Excellency General!"
Junhei Uehara reached out to signal, let him sit down, and then he also sat cross-legged on the collapse, looked at Shigetsu Takasaki, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shigeo Takasaki nodded and said, "I just received a telegram from Mo Dou. Just yesterday afternoon, the Chinese Military Commission held another emergency military meeting.
