The second floor of Building A was originally a conference room for Mitsui Steel Plant management personnel. It has now been converted into a student restaurant. When Geng Chaozhong and his party walked in, a few people were already sitting in the conference room. Geng Chaozhong
Looking at the past, some of the people here are strong and sturdy, with obvious military style in every look and every move; some have sparse silver hair and are over sixty years old, and at first glance they are elegant and easy-going scholars. As for women like Xiangzi, they are very
It was rare. Except for a middle-aged woman who looked to be close to forty years old, there was almost no feminine atmosphere in the entire venue - especially a young and beautiful woman like Xiangzi.
The appearance of Xiangzi made the eyes of all the men present shine. Her slightly neutral dress not only did not damage her feminine temperament, but instead added a strange sense of intimacy to this male jungle. Even Geng Chaozhong also
I couldn't help but admire Xiangzi's grasp of clothing, but Xiangzi didn't seem to be aware of other people's gazes, and quickly found her target, and sat down in front of the middle-aged woman wearing glasses. The two quickly became familiar with each other, chatting and laughing.
Geng Chaozhong and Yun Wei sat in a relatively hidden corner at the corner of the conference table. Looking around, the dozen or so seats were almost full. It seemed that the teaching management of the "Special Agent Training Institute" was probably like this.
There are many people.
"Date-kun, it seems that those old people are professors at universities in Kyoto, and those with upright bodies should be firearms and other action instructors." Yun Wei murmured in a low voice.
"That's not necessarily the case." Geng Chaozhong smiled.
Although most of the people here seem to be strangers to each other, they are obviously divided into a few small circles. From the looks in the eyes of the elderly people, it is obvious that they know each other, and the young and middle-aged people
There were also eye contact between two or three people.
However, Geng Chaozhong's eyes stayed on an old man wearing a suit and toad glasses. The old man seemed unaware, just looking down at a thick-cover book in front of him.
"You're actually here too. I seem to have a lot of acquaintances..." Geng Chaozhong sighed silently.
After three rounds of words, the whole venue was quickly filled with people. At this time, another orderly came in and placed a seat card in front of each person's seat. However, it was not everyone's name on it, but some "A"
Code names such as "One" and "B Four".
"This seat number seems a bit strange." Yun Wei whispered again.
"Um."
Geng Chaozhong was noncommittal and looked at the seat sign in front of him - "Gui Wu", which sounded a bit weird.
As soon as the seat cards were placed, there was a cough at the door. Major General Sato walked in with a smile on his face. He walked to the top of the conference table, first looked around and greeted everyone, and then cleared his throat after the scene became quiet.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Dear colleagues, welcome to the 'Special Agent Training'. I am the academic director of the training center. You can call me 'Tiangan'."
"Tiangan?" Everyone looked at each other.
"That's right," Sato chuckled, "In view of the fact that everyone has different identities and come from all over the world, many of them also need to keep secrets, so the names of our teaching team will not use real names, but use the combination of Tiangan + numbers. Now, please
Everyone, please take a look at the numbers in front of your seats. We will call each other by this in the future. Note that the seat numbers are scrambled and have no meaning. There is no need for you to make random guesses."
"It seems that I will be Guiwu from now on," Geng Chaozhong thought silently, and then glanced at the codenames of the people around him. Yun Wei was "Renliu" and Xiangzi was "Xinyi".
"Before dinner, I will have a brief meeting with everyone," Sato continued after seeing everyone adapting to the surrounding situation: "I think everyone already knows the original intention of the empire to establish a training center for spies, but I don't know how to do it myself.
To elaborate further, I will only talk about basic discipline today, and discipline is very simple - all actions must be carried out in accordance with Article 27 of the school regulations, and the disciplinary regulations will be issued to everyone later."
Everyone nodded. Major General Sato's speech was very concise, without any bureaucratic sloppiness.
"In addition, everything that happened in the training center must be completely forgotten after you return to your own unit. Just treat this experience as if it never happened. When you meet your colleagues and students in the future, you can only treat them as strangers.
Do you understand?" Sato continued.
"Hiyi!"
Everyone present agreed in unison, only a few silver-haired elderly people showed a look of disapproval on their faces.
"Everyone," Sato was keenly aware of the expressions of the several silver-haired old men, but the smiles on their faces became more and more charming, "Many of you here are seniors who have joined the spy work during the Meiji or Taisho periods, and many of you are more senior.
I have many years of experience working in China and even Europe, and among the rising stars, there are also many elite talents who have made outstanding achievements in recent years. Therefore, I hope that you will maintain respect for each other. This is the key to the success or failure of training. I hope that you will be more
understand!"
After saying that, Sato bowed again and turned his attention to the gray-haired elderly man who had just noticed Geng Chaozhong.
The elderly man was in his sixties, and his eyes seemed to be a little cloudy. He raised his head hesitantly, glanced at Sato, and showed a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth.
Sato nodded slightly, looked at the elderly Toad Mirror man with respect and said, "Everyone, now I would like to ask our senior from the Meiji period, Lord Tenchi, to say a few words."
"Hehe, it seems that the old man is still useful in maintaining unity!" The old man stood up tremblingly, bowed to everyone and said: "Everyone, I am what Tengan-sama said, a senior who joined the secret service during the Meiji period.
, my sparse hair can prove this." After saying that, the old man smiled quite self-deprecatingly, which made everyone present also smile heartily. The old man paused and continued:
"During the Sino-Japanese War, I was still a young man and participated in the holy war against the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in China. However, current events have changed and now the Manchu emperor has become our friend again, so personally, I will never be disrespectful.
Anyone, because Mr. Toyama Mitsuru said: Enemies and friends will transform at any time, some very quickly, some very slowly, but as long as you live long enough, you will always see this. So, I, an old man
One of his wise words is: Even if our positions are different, it is necessary to maintain respect. Only in this way will we not be so embarrassed when we change our positions."
Everyone laughed again, but they were all frightened when the old man mentioned Toyama Mitsuru - Toyama Mitsuru was the founder of Japan's early spy organization Black Dragon Society. The old man's mention of him was obviously a hint.
, he is an important member of the Black Dragon Society and a veteran who participated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1898!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at this old man with a bit of respect - an old man from the Meiji period, his manner of speaking is indeed extraordinary!
"Everyone," the old man Toad Mirror continued to speak slowly, "During the Meiji period, the empire established its status as the largest power in Asia through the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894; during the Taisho period, the empire established dominance in the Far East through the Russo-Japanese War;
But now, the empire will no longer focus on a corner of Asia, but on the whole world, and assume the important responsibility of being responsible for the world."
Having said this, the old man Toad Mirror suddenly raised his head, his cloudy old eyes shot out a terrifying light, he waved his arms fiercely, his whole person became extremely excited and contagious, and said sternly:
"And this requires your dedicated efforts. Perhaps, we will soon see the day when jihadist flags are searched all over the world!"
"Long live the Empire!"
The old man's emotional state, with his hair and beard growing wild, infected everyone present, even the cold-hearted secret agents. Everyone stood up one after another and applauded enthusiastically.
