"Nani, those people from the navy actually ran away? These bastards!"
A spacious and bright combat hall resounded with the roar of Major General Tsukada, Chief of Staff of the Central China Front. "Communications staff officer, draft a message immediately. I want to accuse these bastards who are afraid of death to the base camp. I want them to go to a military court!"
In the combat hall, dozens of Japanese staff officers were all busy. Even those who had nothing to do were busy. No one dared to touch the bad temper of the grumpy chief of staff at this time.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, Your Excellency, Commander, please come to his office." A guard's shout interrupted Tsukada Kaori, who was roaring at the staff officers in the hall.
"Commander, let me go?" Tsukada's voice paused.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander Okamura said, please come over immediately. He has something urgent to ask you." The guard said with certainty: "Commander Okamura also asked me to tell you, please don't send a report to the base camp first. Let¡¯s wait until he decides.¡±
The guard's words were like a slap on Tsukada's face, and he felt a little hot. He was just about to ask people to send a report to the base camp to accuse the navy of incompetence, but then the commander asked him to suspend the report. This undoubtedly denied his ability as the chief of staff, which made Tsukada feel very embarrassed. .
However, Tsukada was not a newbie. He quickly adjusted his mood, tidied up his military appearance and walked towards Okamura Neji's office.
Because he thought the command hall was too noisy, Okamura Neiji had moved his office to the other end of the aisle farthest from the hall. As Tsukada walked along the aisle, his mind was constantly spinning.
"I don't know which bastard snitched on me and made Commander Okamura know about me so quickly." Tsukada thought as he walked, "It must be that bastard Miyamoto. This guy relies on being Oka The village commander's confidant never takes me seriously. This time it must be him reporting to Commander Okamura again, it must be true. Bastard, I must make him look good this time!" Tsukada Attack After some automatic thinking, I started to hate Miyamoto Kazuo.
soon. Tsukada Gong came to Okamura Neji's office and calmed down. Only then did Tsukada Gong knock on the office door.
¡°Tuk-tuk-tuk¡¡±
"Come in!" A majestic voice soon sounded inside.
Tsukada pushed open the door and walked in. After walking a few steps quickly, he said loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, Chief of Staff Tsukada is here to report!"
"Oh, Tsukada-kun is here, please sit down!" Okamura Neji's majestic voice rang.
At this time, Tsukada Gong had time to look around the office. Okamura Neji was sitting on the sofa in the lounge area, and as he expected. Kazuo Miyamoto was really in the office, standing behind Neji Okamura with his head bowed respectfully. As soon as he saw Miyamoto Kazuo, Tsukada was furious. This villain, who only knows how to tip off people and make small reports, is standing here so arrogantly. Doesn't he know how to write the word shame?
Although he wanted to shoot this guy in his heart, Tsukada, as the chief of staff of the front army, naturally was not so superficial. He glanced at it and immediately noticed someone sitting in the office. He was looking at himself intently.
Seeing this person, Tsukada Gong was slightly shocked. This man's military rank is not very high. He also has the rank of Major General like him. But what makes Tsukada surprised is that he can sit side by side with Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji. This is a rare thing in the highly hierarchical Japanese army. A very incredible thing.
It seemed as if he could see the doubts in Tsukada Gong's heart. Okamura Neiji nodded slightly to Tsukada Gong and said: "Tsukada-kun, let me introduce to you. This is Major General Joe Bentaro, the chief of the operations section of the staff headquarters sent by the base camp. He came here specially to announce the announcement to the base camp. To your new appointment.¡±
"Nani? Chief of the Operations Section?" Tsukada Gong couldn't help but be surprised. The Japanese Base Camp was the highest commanding authority of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy during the war. It could be issued in the form of a headquarters order (a headquarters order from the Army Department or a headquarters order from the Navy Department). The Imperial Order is also the highest command directly subordinate to the Emperor of Japan.
The base camp is composed of the emperor, the chief and deputy chiefs of the staff, the chief and deputy chiefs of the Military Command Department, the first minister of the General Staff Headquarters (responsible for combat affairs) and the chief of the operations section, the first minister of the military command department and the chief of the operations section. And this Taro Joemoto can actually serve as the section chief of the operations section of the headquarters staff headquarters just after his thirties. This in itself shows that this guy is extraordinary.
Seeing Tsukada Gong's surprised look, Kyomoto Taro didn't care. For him, he had seen many surprised looks from others. He smiled slightly and said: "Hello Tsukada-kun, please give me your advice when we meet for the first time!"
 "Qiao Bentaro said very politely, and he also stood up and bowed to Tsukada Gong, which seemed very polite.
Tsukada Gong was slightly surprised. In the past, he had seen people coming down from the base camp with eyes that reached to the top of their heads. To people coming out of the base camp, all officers stationed outside the mainland were bumpkins. Today, this Qiao It's surprising how Hontaro can be so polite. However, Tsukada was not rude and bowed: "Thank you for your hard work coming all the way, Qiao Ben-kun!"
"Tsukata-kun, if I remember correctly, you have served as the chief of staff since the Central China Front was established. It has been a long time."
"Yes!" Tsukada nodded: "I have been the chief of staff of the Central China Front for three years."
"Yo Xi!" Qiao Bentaro's smile became even brighter, "Tsukada-kun, your hard work has been seen by His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp. Considering your hard work, the base camp decided to transfer you back to the homeland. What do you have? Any opinions?"
"Transfer me back to my homeland?" Tsukada's heart began to tremble. This order was so sudden that he was not prepared at all. There are pros and cons to being transferred back to the homeland. If you are transferred to the headquarters staff headquarters, it is equivalent to a promotion. However, if you are transferred to a Qingshui Yamen to hold a casual position, it is equivalent to a reassignment.
After coughing a few times and calming down, Tsukada asked: "Qiao Ben-kun, can I ask what kind of position I am asked to hold at the base camp?"
Taro Hashimoto's smile was like a sly fox at this moment. He coughed lightly and then said: "Tsukada-kun, in view of your outstanding contribution to the Empire of Japan, the base camp has decided to appoint you as the president of the Imperial Army University. , and promote you to the rank of lieutenant general. This is the letter of appointment given to you by the base camp, please keep it!"
After saying that, Taro Hashimoto took out a letter of appointment from the briefcase next to him and handed it to Tsukada Gong with respectful hands.
"Principal of Army University?"
As soon as Taro Hashimoto¡¯s words came out, not to mention Tsukada¡¯s attack, even Neji Okamura was shocked. Although this position has no real power, it is very honorable. Where is the Imperial Army University? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the cradle of Japanese army generals. Ninety percent of the Japanese army generals came from this school. Being able to serve as the principal of this school for several years means that It can pave the way for promotion to higher positions in the future. If nothing else, just the fact that hundreds of students from mainland China graduate every year. These students will have to call themselves teachers when they become officers and generals in various military units. That is a huge amount of political capital. No matter what it is these days, Whether it is China or Japan, the teacher-student relationship means a natural alliance.
"Ahem"
Seeing that Tsukada Gong was still in a daze, Neji Okamura looked at him with a look filled with envy and jealousy, and quickly reminded him: "Tsukada-kun, why don't you quickly thank His Majesty the Emperor for his grace? "
"OhHai!"
After passing Okamura and waking up at one o'clock, Tsukada Takashi quickly bowed to Qiao Bentaro, "Thank you, Qiao Bentaro, for your hard work!"
Qiao Bentaro waved his hand, "Yoshi, you're welcome, this is none of my business. If you want to thank me, you should thank Commander Okamura."
"Hai, thank you Commander Okamura!"
Tsukada Gong quickly turned around and bowed to Okamura again. At this time, he was full of gratitude to Okamura. But what Taro Hashimoto said next made his sense of Okamura turn around 180 degrees.
"By the way, Miyamoto-kun, the next thing is about your appointment." Taro Hashimoto took out another letter of appointment, "Miyamoto-kun, after Tsukada-kun was ordered to be transferred back to the mainland, he left behind the chief of staff The position has become vacant. Commander Okamura suggested that you serve as the chief of staff. After careful consideration, the base camp agreed to Commander Okamura's suggestion. Therefore, you are promoted to the rank of colonel and temporarily act as the chief of staff of the front army. Please accept the letter of appointment."
"Hai, thank you, Your Excellency! Thank you, Commander Okamura! Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor!" At this time, Miyamoto was already so excited that he was a little incoherent.
Looking at the excited Miyamoto Kazuo, Tsukada finally understood that Okamura Neiji's suggestion that the base camp transfer him was not entirely out of kindness. He was asking himself to move his seat for Miyamoto. After Tsukada understood this, his gratitude towards Okamura suddenly faded a lot.
In fact, Tsukada Gong¡¯s guess was correct. It was indeed Okamura Neji¡¯s idea to transfer him back to his hometown. Okamura Neiji had long had the idea of ??transferring Tsukada Gong away. In Okamura's view, a chief of staff who was overt and covertly against him was definitely an unstable factor. Therefore, in order to transfer Tsukada Gong back to the country, he It took a lot of effort for Miyamoto Kazuo to push him up, but what he didn't expect was Omoto??Unexpectedly, Tsukada was not sent to the Qingshui Yamen for retirement. Instead, he was made the president of Lu University. This position is not an easy one. It seems that he will have to reconsider his relationship with this chief of staff in the future
The new year is here, A Ding is here to wish everyone good health, family harmony, and success in work and school!
