Yoshida did not answer, but took out a cigarette from the lining of his windbreaker and lit it. In the darkness, the cigarette butt flashed brightly and dimly, illuminating Yoshida's face alternately between light and dark.
"Father?" Shunsuke Yoshida asked tentatively.
"He is your noble man," Yoshida finally spoke after blowing out a smoke ring. "He is also an important figure in the Special High School and the Military Police."
"A Chinese and an important figure in the Special Higher Education Course?" Yoshida Shunsuke opened his eyes wide.
"You'll figure it out gradually." Yoshida seemed not to want to talk more about that person's identity.
Yoshida Shunsuke didn't ask any more questions. He knew his father's temper. If he didn't want to say anything, he couldn't ask it again. After another pause, Yoshida Shunsuke spoke again: "Father, the special high school is affiliated to the military. Why do you want to talk to us?"
Police towns cooperate in running schools? Also, what is going on with this newly established ‘Special Agent Training Institute’?”
"All local police agencies in Japan are called police headquarters. Only the police agency in Tokyo is called police town. Do you know why?" Yoshida did not answer, but asked instead.
"Tokyo is the capital of the empire, so of course it's different. Isn't it strange?" Yoshida Shunsuke curled his lips.
"Then let me ask you, do other local agencies have a department called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Intelligence?" Yoshida asked again.
"Uh, no," Shunsuke Yoshida seemed to understand what his father meant, "You mean, in addition to local security affairs, the Tokyo Police Town is also responsible for intelligence collection?"
"Yes, when Jingshi Town was first established, it was actually called Jingshi Town. Later, His Majesty Taisho personally changed the word '事' to 'Shi', which means that Jingshi Town is not only the management agency for police affairs, but also
His Majesty the Emperor's eyes and ears." Yoshida said with a serious face.
"What do you mean?" Shunsuke Yoshida was a little confused about the meaning of this change.
"The power of the military is too great," Yoshida sighed. Seeing that his son was still a little confused, he asked: "Shunsuke, let me ask you a question. After the Meiji Restoration, the shogunate fell and the emperor returned to power. What happened to the former anti-shogunate forces?"
Where?"
"Are you talking about the four powerful vassals of Choshu, Satsuma, Hizen, and Tosa? Aren't they already loyal ministers of His Majesty the Emperor?" Shunsuke Yoshida asked doubtfully.
"That's right, but to be more precise, almost all the four powerful vassals went to the military headquarters," Yoshida said, looking at his son earnestly, "The four powerful vassals relied on the help of the British to successfully overthrow them by force, and their armies became
The foundation of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Navy. In the past sixty years, the forces of the four powerful feudal lords within the Military Department have become so intertwined that even His Majesty the Emperor cannot fully control the Military Department!"
"I understand," Shunsuke Yoshida suddenly realized, "What do you mean, His Majesty the Emperor is worried about the military?"
"His Majesty's thoughts are not something we can guess, but as far as I know, even His Majesty the Emperor is unaware of many of the military's actions." Yoshida replied.
"Oh," Yoshida Shunsuke seemed to understand something. He thought hard for a while, and finally got a grasp of the pulse. He hesitated and said, "So, His Majesty the Emperor changed the police town into a police town?"
"You..." Yoshida was helpless. His son was full of enthusiasm, but his ability to analyze and understand problems was really poor. He suddenly regretted it. If he had known this, he might as well have let his son join the army. At least the army
The relationship here is much simpler than that in Police Town.
Yoshida Shunsuke's face was full of confusion - these things his father told him today were all things he had never mentioned to him before. He knew about the shogunate, the emperor, and the four powerful vassals, but he didn't know them when they were put together.
What's going on?
"Shunsuke, since you don't understand, I'll be more straightforward." Yoshida took a deep breath and shook his head secretly, "The shogunate is the general's palace. "Baku" means the tent of the army; "fu" means the tent of the army.
It is a place where the royal family and others keep their treasures and documents. Taken together, it means that soldiers are involved in government."
"So?" Shunsuke Yoshida asked, tilting his head.
"So, your Majesty does not want to see the current military headquarters develop into the former shogunate, and your majesty just sits back and watches the military's "lower forces suppress superiors". This is actually a warning to the senior military officials." Yoshida said it all.
"Oh, I understand, but what does this have to do with our police town?" Shunsuke Yoshida finally "understood", but he immediately had a new question.
"Forget it," Yoshida waved his hand helplessly and stood up, "Let's go, come with me to see that Mr. Zhou."
"Okay." Yoshida Shunsuke stood up immediately. The things his father talked about were too complicated and he was not interested at all. Besides, what's the use of knowing these?

"Why did the car stop for so long?" Chunri lay on the bed, looking at the starry sky outside the window, seeming to be talking to himself and talking to Geng Chaozhong.
"It's not that long. When I was in China, it was common for trains there to stop for several hours." Geng Chaozhong leaned against the wall of the box, staring at the crescent moon in the sky, and there seemed to be light shining in his pupils.
He thought of her in Nanjing.
"Mr. Zhou, do you think the Chinese moon is round, or the Japanese moon?" Haruhi turned around, and the bright moonlight splashed on her smooth forehead, shining brightly.
"I haven't seen the full moon in Japan yet. I'm afraid I won't know until a few weeks later." Geng Chaozhong raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"If Mr. Yoshida is satisfied this time, I won't have to go to China, but now I think it's actually quite good to go to China..." Kasuga whispered.
"The world outside is wonderful, but the world outside is helpless." Geng Chaozhong said casually.
"What Mr. Zhou said seems to be very philosophical," Kasuri thought about Geng Chaozhong's words, and suddenly said for no reason: "Mr. Zhou's expression when he looked at the moon just now was very gentle."
"Really?" Geng Chaozhong said with a straight face.
"You must have thought of your lover." Kasuga added seriously.
Geng Chaozhong was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to answer, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and then the wall was knocked, and Yoshida's voice came:
"Mr. Zhou, are you asleep?"
"No."
Geng Chaozhong put on his coat, walked out of the box, glanced at the young man behind Yoshida, and whispered: "Senior Yoshida, what's the matter?"
"No, I just came to see Mr. Zhou," Yoshida smiled and pointed to the young man behind him, "This is my son, Shunsuke Yoshida, who just got on the bus from Urawa this afternoon."
"Hello, Mr. Zhou." Yoshida Shunsuke said a simple hello and immediately lowered his head, the contempt in his eyes fleeting.
"It turns out that he is your noble son. He is handsome and majestic. He looks very much like Mr. Yoshida." Geng Chaozhong smiled and didn't seem to care about Shunsuke Yoshida's expression at all.
"Mr. Zhou, I have something to ask of you. Please go over there and talk." Yoshida suddenly bowed.
