Looking at the young major in front of him who was wearing a brand-new Japanese army general's woolen uniform, with a Nanbu pistol on his waist and a command knife on his shoulder, Hashimoto Hayato couldn't help but feel frightened.
It stands to reason that his time as a soldier is not too short. With more than ten years of military service, he has not only the rank of Lieutenant Colonel but also a lot of "experience". This army officer is really too young. Judging from his appearance,
He is only twenty-five or six years old, but he actually has the rank of major. Such a promotion speed is rare not to mention in the army, but also in the navy, which is famous for its convenient promotion. Even I am almost thirty.
He was promoted to the position of lieutenant colonel when he was five years old.
And an officer who can wear the rank of major at such an age either has extremely strong abilities, or has a very strong backer behind him, and either of these two possibilities is not something that he can easily offend.
Thinking of this, Hayato Hashimoto glanced at the opponent's saber again, only to find that the scabbard of the opponent's command sword was wrapped with three yellow circles. If Hashimoto Hayato thought he saw it correctly, it should be wrapped with gold threads.
.
“This guy’s origins are anything but simple!”
Hayato Hashimoto immediately made a judgment, and his originally stern face softened, and he asked: "What is your name, and whose order did you come here under?"
The young major on the other side saluted and said: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, my name is Hojo Hiroshi, I belong to the 5th Division's Baggage Regiment, and I serve as Chief of Staff. I am now under the orders of Lieutenant Colonel Goto Notoshi, the commander of the regiment."
Come to reinforce the port and strengthen the security of the port. This is my certificate!"
After saying that, Major Hojo took out his ID from his pocket and handed it to the other party.
Hayato Hashimoto took the certificate and looked at it. Not only was the other party's photo posted in it, but the department and positions of the other party were also listed one by one. It looked very formal. There was nothing wrong with it.
"Well!"
Hayato Hashimoto nodded noncommittally, returned the certificate to the other party, frowned and asked: "Isn't it true that only your division commander can issue such an order? When did a baggage regiment captain also have the right to issue such an order?
Can you show me the written order issued by your regiment commander?"
Major Hojo said calmly: "Your Excellency, I came here after receiving the verbal order from the commander of the regiment. There was no written order. Moreover, I only received this order three hours ago.
, so I don’t know the reason.”
"Asshole, what do you think this is? Is this a game?"
At this time, the staff officer standing behind Hayato Hashimoto finally couldn't help but yelled at Major Hojo in front of him: "Do you know? This is the territory of our navy, and the commander here is Mr. Hashimoto.
Do you, the chief of staff of the baggage regiment, dare to come here and take over the command? How presumptuous!"
Unexpectedly, Major Hojo had a bad temper. He couldn't listen to the criticism and immediately got angry, "Do you think I'm willing to come to this ungrateful place to look at the warehouse? If the commander hadn't insisted on asking me to come, I wouldn't be too lazy.
Do you want to be a custodian for the navy? If you are able, you can immediately send a telegram to our division commander, saying that you are unwilling to hand over the jurisdiction here. Then I will go back immediately!"
"idiot!"
Hearing what the major said, this staff officer also became angry. You, a bad staff officer of the Army Baggage Regiment, dare to show your teeth to me. It seems that you really don't want to hang out anymore.
In anger, he immediately pulled out the command sword from his waist, but was stopped by Hashimoto Hayato.
Hashimoto Hayato is an old man who has been a soldier for more than ten years, and he is even in his forties. He naturally does not look at things so superficially. Seeing this domineering major of the baggage regiment, and then thinking of his highly decorated
With that swaggering command knife, he immediately thought of another possibility.
"The Hojo family is a well-known noble family in Japan. And this major exudes an air of arrogance. It seems that he is usually a spoiled guy, and now I heard that the Chinese are preparing to attack Yangchun. In this kind of situation
They didn't send this guy to the battlefield at the critical moment. Instead, they transferred him here to guard supplies. There is only one reason for this. That is... they are protecting this guy!"
When he thought of this, Hashimoto Hayato immediately felt that everything made sense. This guy was just a bastard who came to the army to become a gilded man. And no one in the Fifth Division, including the division commander, wanted anything to happen to him, so that
Not only did he get him to the baggage regiment where there was no war, but now he got him here. Yes, when a war breaks out, is there any place that is the safest than the port here?
These things are quite long to talk about, but in fact they just turned around in Hashimoto Hayato's mind and were smoothed out by him.
"It must be like this, this boy is relying on his family's good fortune!"
Hayato Hashimoto, who came from an ordinary family, was very disdainful towards those nobles, but in fact he was very envious. As soon as these guys were born with golden keys in their mouths, their fate was destined to be smooth sailing.
When they grow up, when others are still struggling for a position, they can easily obtain it. Whenever they mess up something, there will always be someone to wipe their butts for them, and when there is a war, there will always be someone to transfer them to the position.
A relatively safe place, but when the battle is over and the credit is shared, their share will always be indispensable. Such a life is so happy!
A trace of strong jealousy flashed in Hashimoto Hayato's eyes, but although he felt extremely unhappy, he had no intention of embarrassing the Hojo Major. After all, blocking someone's official path is like killing one's parents. This saying is not only popular in China, but also in China.
It is also common in Japan. What's more, he has no enmity with him, and it is not what he should do to make enmity with others just for the sake of being angry.
Thinking of this, Hashimoto Hayato took a breath and nodded: "Okay, since you have followed the order of your captain to reinforce our port, then I will leave the security of the port to you. I hope you can do your job with all your heart."
Work, don't let your division commander and wing commander down!"
When talking about the division commander, Hashimoto Hayato specifically strengthened his tone, and then gave him a meaningful look.
After listening to Hashimoto Hayato's words, Major Hojo was surprised at first, and then his eyes showed a trace of unconcealable joy. He lowered his head and bowed to him, "Hai, thank you for your support. Then I will arrange the work of the guards."
Read the full text of The Emperor’s Daughter.”
But that flash of joy did not escape Hashimoto Hayato's eyes. Seeing this look, Hashimoto Hayato strengthened his judgment that this guy is a bastard who is afraid of death.
"Well... go ahead, I'll call those Marines back later." Hayato Hashimoto said while glaring hard at the chief of staff next to him who was about to speak.
Looking at the retreating figure of Major Hojo, the chief of staff said angrily: "Sir, what's wrong with you? Our mighty Japanese navy can't even see a port, and it needs those wearing toilet clothes.
Are these guys coming to guard? If word of this gets out, how can we raise our heads in front of them in the future!"
"presumptuous!"
"Pop!"
Hashimoto Hayato was furious, stretched out his hand and slapped him twice, and then scolded him: "You are still a chief of staff, and you can't even understand this! Do you think he was specially sent by Commander Jun Imamura?"
Are you disgusting with us? The Army came here to humiliate us when they had nothing to do? You really have no brains at all!"
"Hai! I'm sorry, I caused you trouble!"
The chief of staff finally woke up after being slapped twice, lowered his head suddenly, and apologized loudly to Hayato Hashimoto.
After slapping his chief of staff twice, Hashimoto Hayato took a breath and reprimanded: "You immediately transfer all the marines to the warship, and ignore the army. Since they like to be custodians so much, let them
Don’t worry, those supplies belong to the army anyway, and if anything happens, it’s not us who feel bad.”
The chief of staff hesitated for a moment, "Then...should we send a telegram to their baggage regiment to confirm?"
"Idiot! Don't you think we are embarrassing enough?" Hashimoto Hayato couldn't bear it anymore and slapped him again.
"Hai!"
Just when Hayato Hashimoto was reprimanding his chief of staff, Major Hiroshi Hojo also stepped off the warship with standard military steps.
When he got off the warship, he could no longer hide the joy in his eyes. He secretly clenched his right hand into a fist and shouted softly.
This Major Hojo was naturally played by Shota Ishida of the Japanese National Salvation Army.
After Ishida got off the warship, he calmed down and quickly walked to the front of the checkpoint to recruit the two hundred men who were blocked outside. The Marine Corps soldiers who were originally guarding were probably
Having received the order, they were let in without stopping them.
More than ten minutes passed, and the two squadrons of marines who were originally on the road also withdrew back to the warships, leaving the place to the "junk" of the baggage train who came to take over the defense.
Ishida, who took over the defense, did not deploy all his troops at the two intersections. Instead, he spread most of his troops around the mountains of supplies at the port, and politely "invited" the sailors who were wandering there.
On the warship. The reason is very simple. These supplies are the assets of the Army. You guys from the Navy had better not get too close, otherwise it will be bad if you suffer any losses.
This time, the navy sailors were really angry. The port was originally their territory, but now they no longer even have the right to wander around. Isn't this too much of a deception?
It looked like some sailors were about to go down to "theory" with the army, but they were suppressed by Lieutenant Colonel Hashimoto Hayato.
Hayato Hashimoto also had his own little calculation in mind. Since these supplies were taken care of by the army, it would be none of his business if something happened in the future. He would be happy and relaxed. Anyway, as long as the last batch is tomorrow,
When the cargo ship arrives, your mission will be completed, and you can return to Japan by then. Why bother now?
