Hojoji walked up to the microphone and said loudly, "It's not that hard to be a good sniper, you just have to pay your full attention every time you shoot, and don't be distracted by anything, even if it's a bullet flying past your ear." ”

After speaking, Hojoji bowed deeply to the audience and retreated to the back.

Mamoru Iinuma stepped forward with a smile and said, "Although what Hojo-kun said is very simple, it contains a supreme and profound sniper principle, that is, forget about things and me, and have no distracting thoughts in your heart!" ”

"So what is forgetting things and forgetting them, and having no distractions in my heart?"

"That is to say, even if the bomb falls on your head, even if the sky collapses, the tsunami and volcano erupt, you can't feel it, in your world, there is always only yourself and your goal!"

Tens of thousands of devil soldiers from the stage applauded warmly.

Amid warm applause, Hojo received the medal and the bonus, and slowly stepped off the rostrum.

Of course, Hojo's prize money could not have been cash, but a passbook of the Imperial Bank.

Mamoru Iinuma pressed his hands on the ground, and the applause gradually subsided, and Mamoru Iinuma said into the microphone again: "Now, with the warmest applause, let's invite the thirty-two Imperial Warriors of Maeda's squad to the stage!" ”

Immediately under the rostrum, there was warm applause, and there were cheers like a tsunami.

Amid the cheers of the mountains and the tsunami, Captain Maeda and 31 soldiers took the rostrum with great ambition.

Soon, the 32 devils of Maeda's squad lined up on the rostrum to receive the cheers of the devils in the audience.

Looking at the devils cheering in the audience, Captain Maeda and the thirty-one devils were overjoyed, and they felt that their lives had reached the peak!

This time, Mamoru Iinuma pressed his hands at least three times before the cheers from the audience gradually subsided.

When the cheers slowly subsided, Mori Iinuma said again: "The thirty-two imperial warriors of Maeda's squad have the record of killing Zhong Yi, the commander of the 367th Regiment of China, on the battlefield, a Shina officer who once posed a serious threat to the imperial army, a great danger to the heart of His Excellency the General, and a Shina officer who even His Majesty the Emperor is afraid of!" ”

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, and Mamoru Iinuma said in an accentuated tone: "In recognition of these thirty-two imperial warriors, His Majesty the Emperor hereby bestows the Order of Merit of the Fourth Class!" At the same time, give the emperor a saber! But they'll have to make up for it when they get back to Tokyo! ”

Hearing this, the tens of thousands of devils in the audience applauded enthusiastically again, and at the same time let out a tsunami-like cheer.

On one side of the rostrum, senior generals such as Matsui Ishine and Tsukada stood quietly, looking at Captain Maeda and other thirty-two imperial warriors without any fuss, receiving the cheers of the crowd on the rostrum.

They deserve it, so Matsui doesn't mind in the slightest.

But at this moment, a communications staff officer suddenly hurried over and whispered a few words in Matsui Ishone's ear.

Matsui Ishine didn't know if he didn't hear it clearly, or if he heard it clearly but couldn't believe it, he subconsciously asked, "Murata-kun, what were you talking about just now?" I didn't hear clearly! ”

Murata said loudly: "Your Excellency, Zhong Yi is not dead!" ”

"Nani?" Now Matsui Ishine heard it clearly, and his face changed at that time.

"Nani?" Tsukada Tsukashi, Changyong, Muto Akira and other staff officers also looked at each other, Zhong Yi is not dead?

After a long time, Matsui Shigen asked Murata with a dark face: "Murata-kun, are you sure that Zhong Yi is not dead?" ”

"Hello!" Murata paused heavily, and then said, "Zhong Yi not only did not die, but also successfully assassinated His Royal Highness Hatohiko near Taicang, and after the successful assassination, he also telegraphed in clear code, publicly leaving his name and saying that he was the head of the 367th regiment, Zhong Yi, this is a telegram just sent by the Ministry of the Imperial Interior, asking His Excellency the General to give an explanation!" ”

"Yaga!" Matsui's facial muscles began to twitch violently.

At this time, just as Mamoru Iinuma on the rostrum was about to award the Golden Bird Medal to Captain Maeda and others, Matsui Ishine immediately strode onto the rostrum, snatched the Golden Bird Medal from Maesru Iinuma and slammed it to the ground.

Seeing this, the tens of thousands of devils under the rostrum were suddenly stupid? What's the situation? Your Excellency the Admiral is crazy?

Matsui Ishine is indeed crazy, and he is about to go crazy with anger! After throwing the prepared Golden Bird Medal to the ground, Matsui Ishine walked up to Captain Maeda and slapped him twice.

Unable to understand the hatred, Matsui Shigen opened the bow left and right again and fanned several times!

Captain Maeda was beaten to the point that he was completely dazed.

The thirty-one devils on the right are also at a loss, what's wrong?

……

A well-organized grand award ceremony came to an abrupt end.

Not to mention that Captain Maeda and other thirty-two devils fell from the peak of their lives to the bottom at once, and the tens of thousands of devils in several divisions and regiments who watched the ceremony in the audience were also confused, and they didn't know what happened at all?

Matsui Ishine didn't have the heart or time to explain.

After ordering Captain Maeda and 32 others to be taken to prison, Matsui immediately summoned all the staff officers of the headquarters to an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Until this time, there were staff officers who did not know what was happening.

Matsui Ishine first asked Tsukada to tell him about Hatohiko's assassination near Taicang, and then told Zhong Yi about the report through the clear code.

Hearing the truth, the entire conference room instantly became dead silent.

After a long time, a staff officer said weakly: "Your Excellency, General, this can't be a conspiracy of the government of China, right?" First, he sent a military commander's assassin to assassinate His Royal Highness Hatohiko, and then sent a telegram in the name of Zhong Yi to attack the confidence and reputation of the imperial army, and at the same time boost the morale of their soldiers and civilians. ”

"Are you a stupid pig?" When Matsui Shigen heard this, he immediately roared angrily, "His Royal Highness Hatohiko set off to return to China, it was originally a temporary intention, and the royal family didn't know his specific itinerary, how could the military commander of China know?" Only Zhong Yi, only Zhong Yi, it is possible to blend into the guards of His Royal Highness Hatohiko and assassinate halfway! ”

"Hello!" Tsukada was the first to attack, "This matter does seem to be Zhong Yi's style of acting!" ”

After a pause, Tsukada continued: "Zhong Yi's style of acting has always been revenge, and it is immediately revenge, this battle of Nanjing, his 367th regiment suffered a big loss, then he will definitely try to retaliate back, so he chose His Royal Highness Hatohiko as the target of revenge, maybe on the night of the breakthrough, he would have already mixed into His Royal Highness Hatohiko's guards!" ”

"There's no point in talking about that now." Matsui Shigen waved his hand and sighed, "Let's discuss it now, how about dealing with the aftermath, right?" Zhong Yi's resurrection this time is a heavy blow to the reputation of the Imperial Army of Great Japan, as well as the reputation of the Imperial Family, let's think about it, how to meet the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor, right? ”
