Ishihara-kun is indeed a great talent, and he actually thought of such a way to help himself.
He had made preparations before. He carefully brought the two wires together, pulled the broken wire to the road, and carefully tied a knot.
He knew the patrol route of the guards, which was arranged every two hours. After setting it up, as long as the guards passed by there again, they might step on or pull off the line.
As soon as the thread falls off, the two thread ends he has arranged in advance will collide and catch fire.
There is a lot of garbage in that area and a lot of flammable materials, which will definitely cause a fire.
It was indeed dangerous to make such an arrangement in the ammunition depot, but he knew that the structure of the ammunition depot was very strong and ordinary fire could not detonate the ammunition stored in the depot.
But such a fire is extremely dangerous.
After the inspection, Chishang took his men to the back to eat.
He had already spent his own money to buy a lot of delicious food, including sushi, sashimi and sake.
Unlike other officers, he did not go to the concessions or Japanese restaurants to taste the feasts prepared by professional chefs. He still did not relax on the New Year's Day. He stayed at his job to maximize the benefits of this time.
"It's so rich."
There are not many people in the ground support department. Excluding those who have asked for leave, there are only eight people left in the hangar at this time, which is much less than Ikegami's previous subordinates.
"My legs are bad and I can't take you out to eat. I'll just make do here."
Chishang said with a smile, and several others followed him by cheering.
"This is not just a makeshift place. It's definitely better than outside."
"That's it. Thank you, sir, for letting us have a good year."
All the team members sat down, and after Chishang knelt down, everyone started to have a feast together. They served delicious local dishes and delicious sake. Many people sang Japanese folk songs and danced happily.
Chishang silently counted the time.
In order to achieve this meritorious service, he did not buy too much wine and could not let these people get drunk. If they were drunk, it would not be a meritorious service, but a fault.
It was time for the guard to patrol. Chishang looked out the window, but there was no movement.
His heart sank. Did the guards fail to patrol according to regulations, or did they fail to step on the mechanism he arranged, or did the mechanism fail?
After waiting for ten minutes, there was still no movement. Ikegami knew that this time it was a failure.
However, he did not give up. He would patrol every two hours and watch again.
If the result he wants doesn't happen next time, he can only wait until tomorrow to rearrange it.
"drink."
Several people drank the wine happily, and it didn't take long for them to drink up all the sake prepared by Chishang.
Chishang did not allow them to drink any more and ate all the food on the table.
While eating, Chishang suggested that everyone perform a show, which received enthusiastic support from his subordinates.
Some people performed dancing, some performed martial arts, and some sang.
They are eagerly waiting for the arrival of the New Year's bell.
More than an hour passed and it was almost time for patrol again.
The Japanese army has very strict management. Even on important holidays, patrol officers cannot take a holiday and must stand at their posts.
This time he was not disappointed again. Only five minutes after the patrol, someone saw the light of fire in the distance outside the window.
"Section Chief, fire, there is fire over there."
They didn't drink too much. The men who noticed the fire said in panic. Chishang immediately stood up and looked out the window.
The fire finally started.
"Quick, come with me to put out the fire."
Without any hesitation, Chishang rushed out with his men. There was fire-fighting equipment in the hangar. They picked up buckets and quickly ran to the ammunition depot.
There was a fire in the ammunition depot. Once the fire started, even they would be in trouble.
The patrol's siren sounded, and they also discovered the fire.
Ikegami was the first to arrive at the scene, and they quickly began to put out the fire, followed closely by members of the patrol team who came to provide support.
The place Chishang chose was very good. It was outside the ammunition depot and seemed dangerous, but there were no important ammunition or bombs behind this area.
There are a lot of debris on the ground, many of which are flammable materials that are difficult to put out.
It took the two groups more than an hour to finally put out the fire.
After putting out the fire, everyone, including Chishang, collapsed on the ground from exhaustion. The fire had just spread and was once very big.
Fortunately, it was an ammunition depot and there were not too many flammable materials, otherwise it might not have been possible to extinguish it this time.
A fire broke out in the ammunition depot, startling the sleeping group leader.
He hurried over and the captain Takeshi Goto also received the report. No one dared to hide such a big thing.
If the ammunition depot exploded, the battalion commander would definitely be doomed, but he, the commander of the unit, would also suffer.
The best outcome is to be dismissed from your job and find a place to retire without rights.
A car quickly drove into the fifth brigade. Chief Chi Zhou had already ordered people to stand in line and line up to greet it.
Seeing that the ammunition depot was intact, Goto Takeshi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"what happened?"
Goto Takeshi roared angrily, and the captain Matsuura Shoji hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty Colonel, the technical staff are not in place yet, so we cannot know the cause of the fire at the moment."
"Snapped."
Goto Takeshi slapped him in the face without any concern for Matsuura Shoji's face. There were many of his subordinates here.
"Can't know?"
Goto Takeshi continued to yell, this is an ammunition depot, a place that has always strictly controlled fire sources. Fortunately, there were no more serious consequences this time, otherwise he would also be in trouble.
"Hai."
After being slapped, Matsuura did not dare to talk back and lowered his head.
"Who put out the fire?"
Goto Takeshi continued to ask, and Ike Zhouji stood up: "Sir Colonel, it was us and the patrol team who put out the fire."
Chishang did not pick out the patrol team. In fact, the patrol team had more people, but they arrived at the place first and took the first credit.
"What's going on?" Goto Takeshi asked coldly.
"Your Majesty Colonel, we have finished inspecting the hangar today..."
Ikegami immediately told the story of the evening. He did not hide that he was celebrating the New Year with his men. Today was a holiday. They had dinner after work and did not delay their work.
Normally, they could return to the dormitory after completing their work, but they did not and remained in the hangar.
Following Ikegami's report, Goto Takeshi's expression softened a lot.
"May I have your name?"
Goto Takeshi asked, and Ike Shuji stood up straight: "My subordinate Ike Shuji is currently the chief of the ground support section of the fifth brigade."
"Take me to the hangar and take a look."
Goto Takeshi wanted to praise him directly, but when he remembered Ikegami's report just now, he changed the subject and asked to see the hangar.
The hangar is also a very important place, as all their fighter jets are here.
The lights in the hangar were turned on, and Goto Takeshi's eyes suddenly lit up.
The hangar is very clean and spotless, and everything is in its proper place, very neat and tidy, without a trace of clutter.
As the captain of the wing, Goto Takeshi is very aware of the appearance of the hangar. It is almost always dirty and messy, with all kinds of things thrown around and no one will clean it up at all.
The hangar in front of me is completely different.
"When did you become the chief of the ground handling department?"
"My subordinate was recuperating from his injuries after the war. Because of his serious injuries, he could no longer go to the front line. He was transferred to the position of chief of the ground support section not long ago."
Chishang replied softly that he had not been in the Fifth Brigade for a long time.
"You or the hero?"
Goto Takeshi said with emotion that the Japanese suffered a lot of losses in the Shanghai War. Many people who became disabled after the war were assigned to various logistics departments who could work, while those who were really unable to work were sent back home.
Although they can no longer go to the battlefield, they at least have rich experience and can guide these new soldiers at any time.
"It's not considered meritorious. When we attacked Nanshi, the squadron I led was at the forefront. A shell exploded around us. Many of my men died. My legs were seriously injured. Now I can barely walk."
"let me see."
Ikegami had no choice but to pull up the storage pipe. Goto Takeshi immediately saw that a large piece of meat was missing from his leg, which was deeply sunk and looked very scary.
Those who come off the battlefield are all heroes.
"well done."
Goto Takeshi took a deep look at Ikegami, and took everyone to the ammunition depot again, making sure that the ammunition depot was okay before leaving.
The next day, many people in their team failed to celebrate the New Year.
The investigation into the fire case of the Fifth Brigade started last night. A large number of technicians were stationed to check the cause of the fire. They finally concluded that the fire was caused by the aging of the wiring.
Fortunately, Chi Zhousi, chief of the Ground Service Section of the Fifth Battalion, stayed in the hangar and led people to put out the fire in time and made the correct response. Once the fire was out of control, the consequences would be extremely serious.
Goto Takeshi not only personally asked for credit for Ikegami, but also asked people from other brigades to take people to visit the hangar of the Fifth Battalion.
The clean and bright hangar made many people from other brigades lower their heads.
Chishang had just been promoted to captain, and there was currently no way to be promoted, so he helped him apply for a medal as a reward. This time, his achievements were indeed no less than his military exploits on the battlefield.
Especially during the New Year holiday, he did not take any holidays and rest, and even led people to inspect the hangar at the last moment to eliminate safety hazards.
The fire occurred in the ammunition depot, not within his jurisdiction.
This was even more rare. Goto Takeshi knew that they had drank at night, but Chief Ikejo controlled the amount, and neither he nor his subordinates drank too much.
The more he looked at Ikegami, the more satisfied he became. Except for the fact that his leg was seriously injured and he was unable to go to the front line, he was definitely a careful, responsible and excellent officer.
For other troops, such talents are a pity, but he is different here.
They are the aviation department. Only pilots go to the battlefield. The rest do not need to participate in combat. The proportion of pilots in the aviation department is not high, and there are more other personnel.
This time, Ikegami asked Goto Takeshi to remember him and publicly praise him.
Two days later, Chi Zhouji came to Shiyuan Trading Company in the public concession.
Ishihara Hiroshi was not here. He was a little disappointed. This was Ishihara-kun's idea for him. He didn't expect the effect to be so good. He had made so many contributions on the battlefield and had never received a medal. This time he actually got a medal.
award.
Although it was an eighth-level Ruibao medal, it still made him extremely excited.
Especially this time, the commander of the unit, Takeshi Goto, carried out security inspections. Everywhere he went, the Fifth Battalion would inevitably be mentioned, and his name would be mentioned at the same time.
In just two days, everyone in the alliance knew about him.
He had never received so much attention, and he enjoyed it very much.
After Chu Lingyun received the news, he quickly disguised himself as Hiroshi Ishihara and returned to the trading company.
"Ikegami-kun, I'm sorry, I went out to discuss business, and I didn't expect you to come."
Ikegami has been waiting. He wants to share the good news with Ishihara-kun as soon as possible. Today is his holiday and he doesn't have to rush back.
"It doesn't matter, your business is important."
Seeing Chu Lingyun, Chishang immediately stood up. He had contacted Chu Lingyun before just because he was the young master's classmate and could bring him some benefits.
It was different now. What happened this time made him understand that Mr. Ishihara was a man of great ability. Just one idea brought him such great gains.
Now he no longer has the decadence and despair he had before. With Mr. Ishihara helping him, he believes that he can still make meritorious deeds and be promoted.
Who stipulates that soldiers must be on the battlefield to be promoted? Besides, real senior officers do not need to fight in person. What they want is command ability.
"It looks like you've gained a lot?"
Chu Lingyun asked with a smile, Chishang immediately nodded excitedly: "Yes, I really can't hide it from you, Mr. Ishihara, and I have gained a lot."
Without waiting for Chu Lingyun to ask, he took the initiative to tell his story.
Now he has been valued by Goto Takeshi, and he is quite famous in the alliance, and he has helped him apply for a medal award. With his contribution, he is very likely to get this medal.
"Ikegami-kun, congratulations."
Chu Lingyun congratulated him, but Chishang looked serious and bowed deeply: "Without Mr. Ishihara's guidance, I would not have achieved such a harvest."
"Ikegami-kun, I said, we are a family."
"Yes, we are a family."
Chishang smiled. He was very lucky that he could meet Ishihara-kun, otherwise his life might be like that.
Now he is full of hope for the future.
He believes that with the help of Mr. Ishihara, he will be able to get ahead.
Becoming a retainer is no longer his dream, he wants to become the pride of the Hosokawa family.
"Ikegami-kun, have you found out about Colonel Goto's preferences?" Chu Lingyun asked.
"I found out."
Chishang hurriedly replied that this was a matter related to his future and he was very attentive.
"According to what I have asked, Colonel Goto likes calligraphy and painting, especially ancient calligraphy and painting. He has collected a lot of them."
"I understand, Ikegami-kun, please wait for me to get off."
Chu Lingyun smiled and said, as long as you like him, just follow him. It's very simple.
Chu Lingyun took out an ancient painting from the safe in another office.
This painting is the work of Suzuki, a famous Japanese painter in the Edo period. Suzuki's paintings are very popular in Japan, and their prices are not low.
In fact, not only antique calligraphy and paintings, gold bars, fine wine and cigars, Chu Lingyun was prepared.
Even women.
No matter what Goto Takeshi likes, he can provide it for Ikegami and let him use it to bribe Goto Takeshi to achieve the purpose of being transferred to the alliance.
"This is?"
When Chishang saw Chu Lingyun coming over with a painting, his heart couldn't help but beat. He was asking questions knowingly. He just said that Goto Colonel liked ancient paintings, so Ishihara-kun took out a painting. His intention was very obvious.
