At that time, it was still the period of the Qing Dynasty, specifically, the sixth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty. Chonghou, the Minister of Commerce and Industry of the Three Ports, was in charge of organizing a machine bureau for the production of guns and ammunition in Tianjin. Chonghou moved very quickly, and opened a machinery manufacturing factory in Haiguang Temple to manufacture foreign guns, foreign guns and small ships. This is the famous "Xiju Gun Factory". In the second year, he built the gunpowder factory of Tianjin Machinery Bureau on Jiajiagu Road in the east, also known as the East Bureau of Tianjin Machinery Bureau, commonly known as "East Bureau".
In contrast, Dongjuzi is more famous, because the factories here are very large, and Dongju also has new schools such as navy, mine, and telegraph, which have become a favorable stage for the Westernization Movement. It's a pity that when the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered China, this place became a ruin.
Later, on the land where Dongjuzi was originally located, the invaders built a military camp, and later built an airport. In this way, until the Anti-Japanese War, the airport fell into the hands of the little devil. It was once controlled by the little devil army for a period of time. Later, as the army gradually moved inland, the airport here was handed over to the little devil navy. At this time, there were only a few maritime patrol planes parked inside the airport.
After all, this is the safest place for little devils. Even the Eighth Route Army, which was making trouble in the enemy's rear, did not infiltrate its forces into Tianjin. It doesn't make any sense for the little devil's navy to deploy fighter jets or bombers here. There are only a few patrol planes, and they are not responsible for inland affairs, and often fly to the sea to perform patrol tasks.
Compared with land, the little devil's navy certainly values ??the sea more. They want to completely control this sea area, and they also want to prevent smuggling. Patrol aircraft at sea can easily search for ships on the ocean, and if any abnormalities are found, they will call the navy's warships to intercept them.
At this time, if it is normal, then there is nothing important here. But the last two days are different. Yoshida Zengo, one of the most important generals in their navy, went to Shanxi for inspection and has not returned since. Their base here was originally prepared to welcome the arrival of this general, but who would have thought that it never did.
Speaking of this great future, it seems that he has no reputation. In the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he is also unknown. In fact, Yoshida Zengo is also a very good person. Just look at one point, he and Yamamoto Fifty-Six were awarded the rank of general in the same batch. It's just that he is not as crazy as Yamamoto Fifty-Six, and he did not perform a series of maritime combat missions. So not famous. But he is also very famous in the navy. He once served as the commander of the fleet here in China, and now he is the president of the Naval University in China. So the Marine Corps specially went to greet him and put on a show. Who would have thought that he would never come back.
Jing Teng Dalang, the person in charge of the base. Looking at the gradually setting sun outside, he said to the people around him: "Your Excellency Takagi, it seems that we have little chance of waiting for His Excellency General to return today. You should go back with the welcoming team."
Takeo Takagi is the commander of the Takukou Navy here. When he heard that Yoshida Zengo wanted to come back, he might pass by here. He came to the base here to wait, and at the same time brought some people to greet him, planning to hold a lively welcome ceremony, after all, he was an old superior. But it never came. Although they sent telegrams to Shanxi several times to inquire, they never responded.
Seeing that it was already dark. For safety reasons, planes generally do not fly at night, so it seems that today is too late. Takeo Takagi shook his head and stood up.
Just at this time, the radio operator suddenly ran over excitedly: "Report, we have received the news. The Army has dispatched a transport plane to send Your Excellency General back. They will arrive at our base soon."
Hearing this, several people present were a little puzzled, what? It's actually an army transport plane? How could it be possible that General Yoshida was on an Army plane?
Here among the devils, the grudge between the army and the air force is deep-rooted. If it was an army plane, then General Yoshida would have returned long ago, so why delay it until now? It is because I have been waiting for the Navy's plane, and I don't know what is going on.
Although they were all a little surprised. But when I heard that General Yoshida was coming back, I hurriedly made preparations. Takeo Takagi hurried out with his welcoming team. Although there is still a period of time, they still have to be ready.
When the night had begun to darken, a rumbling sound finally sounded in the sky. A plane appeared at the other end of the runway. Under the illumination of the runway lights, the clear plaster flag standard on the side of the plane could be seen.
"Attention everyone, get ready to welcome, the military band starts to play." Gaoshouted Xiong.
The military band is indispensable for the welcoming team. Following his orders, the military band has begun to play. That's General Yoshida's favorite song, Sakura. Everyone else was waiting eagerly, watching the plane land.
When the cabin door opened, Takeo Takagi went up to meet him, and looked at the angry face of General Yoshida who came down from the inside.
"Your Excellency, General, welcome to Dongjuzi Airport." Takeo Takagi was full of laughter there.
At this time, the military band was still playing music. General Yoshida's face was gloomy, and as he walked out, he said: "Baga, the naval aviation has a great responsibility. I made a big fool of myself in front of the army."
General Yoshida was annoyed. He originally wanted the Marine Corps to meet him, but who would have known that he had waited an extra day in Shanxi and still hadn't gotten the Marine Corps plane. Even that plane lost contact. In desperation, he had no choice but to take the Army's plane back. This annoyed him very much. He had to maintain a certain level of calm in front of the army, but now that he was by his own side, he began to lose his temper.
"Hurry up, prepare a plane for me, prepare our navy's plane, and I'm going back to the mainland." He didn't want to stay here anymore, it was really a trip that annoyed him.
Hearing what he said, Gao Muxiong was a little embarrassed. He glanced behind him, and then said: "Your Excellency, flying at night is not safe, and we don't have any suitable planes here, we have already prepared a dinner party for you, and there are also geisha and flower girls. Yours, stay here for one night, tomorrow, everything is ready, and then go back to work, okay?"
Yoshida Zengo looked down and saw several women in kimonos among the welcoming crowd below. When he saw these women, he finally nodded with satisfaction: "Just stay here for a night of work." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
