Uchida did not intend to delve too deeply into these officers who conspired to mutiny. In his opinion, gentle handling was the best solution. Although the behavior of disobeying the commander was irritating, it was excusable after all.
Moreover, if something like this happened to his subordinates, it would be of no benefit to him to spread the word. Except for Aoki, who was detained indefinitely in the military police for violating military discipline, the others were only detained for a few days and then relieved of their military duties until the transition period.
Finish.
The gendarmerie prison has cells specially designed to hold disciplinary soldiers. The environment is relatively clean and hygienic, with simple tables, chairs and beds. The three meals a day are the same as those in the gendarmerie.
Aoki sat alone on the chair, feeling infinite regret in his heart. If he had been more cautious at that time, he wouldn't have been easily controlled without even firing a shot.
A military policeman opened the iron door and said: "Colonel Aoki, someone is here to see you."
The man who came was named Kono, a lieutenant officer and a loyal follower of Aoki. He also participated in the mutiny and had just been released.
"Lieutenant Kono, the visiting time is only ten minutes." The military policeman reminded him, turned around and exited.
"Colonel, you have suffered!" Kono bowed deeply to Aoki.
Aoki said calmly: "This is nothing, you are all implicated, it is my fault!"
Kono said excitedly: "Colonel, please don't say that. As long as you give the order, I am willing to do anything for you!"
Aoki's eyes flashed and he said: "Kono-kun, are you speaking from your heart?"
Kono solemnly said: "I swear on my life, what I say is from the bottom of my heart!"
Aoki glanced at his waist and said, "Where is your gun?"
Kono said angrily: "It was seized by the gendarmerie. It was said that during the transition period, we people are not allowed to hold weapons!"
Aoki pondered for a long time and said: "Kono-kun, there is something that requires a warrior to do. Are you willing to do it?"
"willing!"
"You could die!"
"Colonel, to tell you the truth, I had originally planned to commit suicide by caesarean section in public on the day of my formal surrender to protest against this humiliation of imperial soldiers!"
"Okay! Kono-kun, you are worthy of being a true imperial soldier!"
"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
"Qiao Muchai, the representative of the Chongqing Office in Yanjin, it is said that there is a major general in China. If he can be killed, it may provoke a new conflict between Japan and China. At that time, Uchida Ginnosuke is in a dilemma. Maybe he will really consider it.
A last-ditch fight!"
"Okay! I'll find a way to get a pistol..."
"No, I'm afraid a pistol won't solve the problem!"
"what do you mean?"
Aoki looked at Kono and whispered: "You need a grenade!"
Kono's eyes lit up, he nodded slowly and said, "Yes, the grenade is very powerful and easier to succeed!"
"Keep this secret, don't trust anyone, do it alone!"
"clear!"
"Can we get grenades?"
"……no problem!"
Aoki Senran said: "Then do it, for the dignity of the imperial soldiers!"
"For the dignity of the imperial soldiers!" Kono repeated these words, his eyes burning with fanatical flames!
…………
A few simple braised vegetables and a bottle of Laobaigan wine.
Lei Pen called Jiang Xinyu to sit down and said: "My temper got worse when I got promoted. I've been asking you two or three times. You finally gave me some face today!"
Jiang Xinyu looked around and said, "You are the only one at home?"
"Xiao Taohong must have gone to play cards. This girl hasn't played for a day and her hands are itchy and uncomfortable... She will be back soon." Lei Ban took the dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen and looked up at the clock on the wall.
While talking, the door of the room rang, and the gorgeous Xiao Taohong walked in from the outside. She was wearing a cheongsam with high slits, and her snow-white thighs were clearly visible.
Seeing Jiang Xinyu sitting there, Xiao Taohong said: "Hey, Xinyu is here, you are a rare visitor!"
Jiang Xinyu stood up and greeted politely.
Lei Ban frowned and said: "Dressed like this, are you playing cards or going on a date with your sweetheart?"
Xiao Taohong rolled her eyes at him and said: "Which husband said that about his wife!... Xinyu, I made you laugh. You know, Ray-Ban has this kind of virtue, he doesn't know the depth of his words!"
Lei Ban said with a straight face: "Hurry up and change your clothes. If you are wandering around here, Xin Yu doesn't have to serve food and drinks. It's enough to just watch you!"
Xiao Taohong covered her mouth and smiled, then quickly walked into the bedroom to change clothes.
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Lei Ban, you really want to say whatever you want!"
Ray-Ban unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle, filled the wine glasses one by one, and said: "I see you are in a bad mood, I am just kidding you!"
A few minutes later, Xiao Taohong changed into home clothes, came out of the bedroom, looked at the dishes on the table, and said: "There is not a single hot dish, Lei Ban, how can you entertain guests like this!"
Lei Ban: "Xinyu is not an outsider!"
"You drink with Xinyu first, and I'll get two more dishes." Xiao Taohong hurried into the kitchen.
Lei Ban said in a low voice: "Xinyu, you are blessed with a good mouth. It's really not me who is doing it for her. Xiao Taohong's cooking skills are even better than Miss Mei Nai's!"
"Really?" Jiang Xinyu raised his glass and clinked it with Ray-Ban.
"If she hadn't disliked the smell of cooking smoke, I wouldn't have bought it from outside every day!" Lei Ban shook his head helplessly.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Taohong was busy in the kitchen and actually made two decent hot dishes, a plate of scrambled eggs with green pepper and a plate of stir-fried shredded pork.
Lei Ban proudly said to Jiang Xinyu: "How's it going? I'm not lying to you, it's both delicious and delicious!"
Jiang Xinyu took a bite of the egg. The taste was indeed okay, but it was not as good as Lei Ban said. It was just not unpalatable.
He pretended to be serious and said: "If you ask me, you can consider opening a restaurant. With Xiao Taohong's cooking skills, it will definitely be more popular than Xilaishun!"
Xiao Taohong chuckled and said, "Xinyu, did you put honey on your mouth?"
After joking for a while, Xiao Taohong poured herself a glass of wine and said: "Xinyu, you are a big shot in Yanjin now. Our Ray-Ban will be completely taken care of by you in the future. I'd like to toast you!"
As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Jiang Xinyu understood that the reason why Xiao Taohong was so warm and considerate was mostly because of her identity. This woman was born in Fireworks Willow Lane and often dealt with various people. Naturally, she had some scheming.
Lei Ban snatched Xiao Taohong from the side and said: "Do you still need to say this? What is the relationship between me and Xin Yu? He has become so successful, can he forget about me as a brother?"
Jiang Xinyu: "Leiban, Stationmaster Qiao doesn't care about you. If you don't do a good job, you just pack up and leave. Even if I speak for you, I'm afraid it won't have much effect!"
Lei Ban nodded repeatedly and said: "I understand the truth. To tell you the truth, I didn't put a penny in my pocket for the purchasing work during this period, just to leave a good impression on Station Manager Qiao!"
Jiang Xinyu was angry and happy at the same time, and said, "Here you are crying and shouting to stay in the army. Is this just for this?"
Lei Ban widened his eyes and said, "Why else? If I do my job well, I might be in charge of the entire general affairs and logistics in the future. At that time, we would be making money. Hehe, Xin Yu, just watch it!"
Xiao Taohong said with a smile: "That's right, Lei Ban is right, what is the purpose of being an official? Isn't it just to make money?"
