There are still many masters in Japan, including judo masters, kendo masters, karate masters and ninjas.
Especially for ninjas, in addition to Koga Ninja Village, where Inoue Chiyoko is the village leader, there is also Iga Ninja Village, which is as powerful as Koga Ninja Village. In addition to these two major ninja villages, there are also a large number of small ninja villages throughout Japan.
When all the ninjas are put together, the number is still very large, not much less than the number of warriors in China.
At this moment, Miura Takayuki was discussing with Yamashita Fengfumi about recruiting experts from all walks of life in Japan to serve in the 57th Division.
Miura Takayuki said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I humbly believe that the soldiers of the reorganized 57th Division should not only be recruited from the army, but also experts from all walks of life from the local area. Otherwise, when encountering the Wolf Fang Troops,
It is inevitable to suffer a loss, after all, most of the members of the Wolf Fang Force are martial arts masters!"
Yamashita Fengfumi frowned and said: "But these kendo, judo, karate masters and ninjas have never obeyed the management of the Ministry of War. Miss Inoue's Koga Ninja Village was only successfully recruited because His Majesty the Emperor personally came forward. Otherwise, if you want to mobilize
It’s impossible for the ninjas of Koga Ninja Village!”
Miura Takayuki smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, this is actually not difficult."
Yamashita Fengwen said softly and asked: "Isn't it difficult? Does Miura-kun have any good ideas?"
Miura Takayuki paused slightly and said: "Your Excellency Commander, when I was young, I also practiced kendo. In fact, I have never given up kendo to this day. Because of this, I have a good understanding of the thinking of people in kendo. There is a cloud in China.
There is no first in literature, no second in martial arts, and the empire’s martial arts practitioners are no exception.”
Yamashita Fengwen's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Miura-kun, what do you mean? Use your false reputation to seduce them?"
"Hai!" Miura Takayuki said after a heavy pause, "People in the empire's martial arts often fight to the death in order to gain the false reputation of being number one, not to mention other things, just to compete for the honorary title of tenth degree in swordsmanship.
, dozens of dojos in Tokyo were in a state of chaos, and at least a dozen masters above seventh level died!"
After a pause, Miura Takayuki continued: "If these masters can be mobilized to the battlefield, the individual combat effectiveness of our 57th Division can be greatly improved! In this way, even when facing Xu
Rui’s Wolf Fang troops are not without any chance of winning. After all, Xu Rui’s Wolf Fang troops only have a hundred people, while the empire’s masters from all walks of life have tens of thousands of people!”
"Yo Xi." Yamashita Fengwen nodded happily, "I can call the base camp to try it, but I can't guarantee whether it will work."
Miura Takayuki was overjoyed when he heard this. He paused and said: "This will definitely be possible. Thank you very much for your humiliation, Commander!"
"You don't have to thank me." Yamashita Fengwen waved his hand and said, "If you really want to thank me, you'd better think carefully about how to train the 57th Division into an army as soon as possible, and then eliminate the Spike Troops as soon as possible!" Pause!
After a pause, he continued, "Miura-kun, the 57th Division must not make the same mistake as the Inoue Brigade."
"Hai!" Miura Takayuki nodded heavily, turned and walked away.
…
Japan, Tokyo.
"Brush!" The wooden sword in Kondo Yugoro's hand was directly pressed against Miyamoto Saichiro's throat. The wooden sword stabbed by Miyamoto Saichiro immediately stopped in the air. The blade of the wooden sword was still an inch away from Kondo Yugoro's throat.
But the gap of an inch is as huge as a chasm.
If both parties had used real swords, then Miyamoto Saichiro would have been killed by Kondo's sword at this moment.
At that moment, Saichiro Miyamoto retracted his sword and retreated, while Yugoro Kondo also retracted his sword and took half a step back. Then the two Japanese men bowed to each other at the same time.
Miyamoto Saichiro said half seriously and half flatteringly: "Master Kondo's swordsmanship seems to have improved again."
"During this period, I have indeed gained a new understanding of the way of the sword." Yugoro Kondo nodded, and immediately his expression became extremely lonely, shaking his head and saying, "But there is still a huge gap between me and that man."
Miyamoto Saichiro immediately fell silent because he knew who the man Kondo Yugoro was talking about.
The man in Kondo Yugoro's mouth is naturally Xu Rui, who is pretending to be Nakajo Shuichi. Xu Rui once set up a kendo ring in the Imperial Palace Square. Kondo Yugoro also once went to challenge, but was ultimately defeated by Xu Rui's sword. Although in the eyes of outsiders, Kondo
Yugoro only lost half a move, but experts like Miyamoto Saichiro knew that the gap between Kondo Yugoro and Xu Rui was huge. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the gap was as big as a chasm.
Thinking of Xu Rui, Miyamoto Saichiro immediately thought of the royal family's recruitment order.
At that moment, Saichiro Miyamoto said: "Master Kondo, the royal family has issued a recruitment order to prepare masters from all walks of life in the empire to go to the 57th Division. I wonder if Natural Rishin-ryu is ready to be called?"
Kondo Yugoro nodded slightly and said: "Since the royal family has an edict, Natural Rishin-ryu, as the top swordsman in the empire, naturally has to be called. I have selected more than a hundred people from various dojos of Natural Rishin-ryu.
Young Junyan will personally send them to the Chinese battlefield in a few days."
Miyamoto Saichiro narrowed his eyes and said: "Master Kondo, don't you plan to go yourself?"
"I won't join in the fun." Kondo Yugoro shook his head and said, "I am old, and my physical strength and energy are no longer as good as those of young people. What's more, we have entered the era of hot weapons, and killing people depends on
Firearms instead of swords, personal bravery will not bring much advantage on the battlefield."
Miyamoto Saichiro said quietly: "As far as I know, the masters from all walks of life recruited this time will be incorporated into the 57th Division. The 57th Division is a different division and is a special operations division.
, In such an army, individual bravery actually has its place, and Master Kondo’s absence would be a huge loss to the empire.”
Kondo Yugoro frowned and said, "Master Miyamoto, are you here to be a lobbyist on behalf of the royal family?"
"Master Kondo is joking, how could I be a lobbyist for the royal family?" Saichiro Miyamoto smiled awkwardly and added, "But seriously, doesn't Master Kondo not want to seek revenge on that man? In the Imperial Palace Plaza
Defeat may have become a thorn in the heart of the master. Does the master really not want to avenge his shame?"
Kondo Yugoro's eyes immediately showed a captivating light.
Literary people are not the first, martial arts are not the second. This sentence is really not just said casually. The mentality of literary people to show off their articles and military people to show off their ferocity will never be wiped out at any time, even though Yugoro Kondo knows that he is not Xu Rui's opponent.
, even though he has gained knowledge in the way of swordsmanship, he is still no match for Xu Rui, but he still can’t help but want to find Xu Rui to clear up his former shame!
Because for a martial artist, the feeling of crushing a powerful enemy under his feet is so damn satisfying!
At that moment, Kondo Yugoro turned his head and stared at Miyamoto Saichiro, and said coldly: "Master Miyamoto, what about you? Are you going or not?"
Miyamoto Saichiro's face trembled violently. According to his original intention, of course he was not willing to go. He went to Manchukuo with his seventh-level swordsmanship. When he met Xu Rui, it was a matter of seconds! But!
The problem is that he boasted so much in front of Kanin Gong Zaijin and promised that he would definitely convince Yugoro Kondo, which was embarrassing.
At that moment, Miyamoto Saichiro said: "If Master goes, I will follow him."
"Yoshi!" Kondo Yugoro nodded slightly and said, "Then let's go together."
"Hai!" Miyamoto Saichiro was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Master Kondo, with you joining us, the chances of eradicating Xu Rui will be greatly increased. Otherwise, no one can really deal with Xu Rui."
Kondo Yugoro frowned and said: "Although I am very reluctant to gain other people's ambitions and destroy my own prestige, I am also unwilling to say anything against my will. I am afraid that I will definitely not be Xu Rui's opponent."
Miyamoto Saichiro said quickly: "Master Kondo, you can rest assured. In addition to you, master, even the head of Iga Ninja Village has been summoned. The head of Iga Ninja Village is also a shadow ninja."
Kondo Yugoro said: "You mean the Hokage Akishimaru?"
"Hai." Miyamoto Saichiro said, "That's him."
Kondo Yugoro snorted and said: "As far as I know, Akashimaru's Hokage is just a self-proclaimed Hokage, and his ninjutsu has not really advanced to the level of Shadow Ninja!" After a pause, he continued, "Because of this,
Although Iga Ninja Village has a deeper foundation, its influence has always been surpassed by Koga Ninja Village."
Miyamoto Saichiro said with some embarrassment: "Aka Lao's ninjutsu skills may not be as good as Miss Inoue's, but his fighting experience is far better than Miss Inoue's. If he really fights, he may not be Miss Inoue's opponent. Xu Rui's skills
We are just as close as Miss Inoue, if you can have Chi Lao and Master Kondo join forces, Xu Rui will definitely not be his opponent!"
Kondo Yugoro said: "But even Miss Inoue Chiyoko was defeated by Xu Rui."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Miyamoto Saichiro shook his head and said, "In terms of skill alone, Miss Inoue Chiyoko is definitely better than Xu Rui, but battlefield fighting is not just a simple sword duel. On the battlefield,
Xu Rui will definitely use firearms, but in this aspect, Xu Rui has an absolute advantage."
Kondo Yugoro nodded slightly when he heard this, and his confidence increased a bit.
…
Soon, news of Kondo Isamu's imperial edict reached the War Department.
After receiving the call from Miyamoto Saichiro, Army Deputy Secretary Umezu Yoshijiro immediately came to Kanin Miyazaihito's office and reported excitedly: "Your Highness, Kondo Yugoro has received the order."
"Yo Xi!" Hanyuan Gong Zairen nodded happily, and then asked, "Mejin-kun, how many masters have you recruited?"
Umezu Yoshijiro said without hesitation: "There are more than a thousand ordinary disciples of Kendo, Judo and Karate below the sixth degree, and more than a hundred masters of the seventh degree or above. In addition, there are Kondo Yugoro, the ninth degree of Kendo, Abe Kuzo, the tenth degree of Judo, and the tenth degree of karate.
Funakoshi Hideo and Hokage Akajimaru, and other four super masters!"
