After a long time, Matsui Ishine and a staff officer of the headquarters finally recovered from the huge shock.

After calming down, Matsui Ishine began to be a little worried again, and said: "Tsukada-kun, this reward plan formulated by the base camp by the grace of His Majesty the Emperor can indeed greatly boost the morale of the five divisions and regiments participating in the battle, plus one detachment, the question is, will the other troops be passive and sluggish because of this?" ”

"yes." Mamoru Iinuma nodded and said, "There is an old saying in Shina, it is called not to be outnumbered, but to suffer unevenly, in the past, everyone had no reward, so it was nothing, but now the 5 divisions and 1 detachment involved in the capture of Nanjing have the opportunity to fight for a high bounty, while the other troops do not, which will definitely seriously weaken the morale of the troops." ”

Tsukada shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, you don't think so. ”

After a pause, Tsukada continued: "First of all, Nanjing is different from ordinary cities, but the capital of China, which has very important political significance! In the previous capture of Shanghai, the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle were rewarded with 50 yen each, and in the battle of Nanjing, the reward of 100 or hundreds of yen was not too much! ”

"Secondly, the repetition of the Battle of Nanjing has seriously dampened the morale of the people in the country, and has also caused a serious negative impact on the image of the imperial family and even His Majesty the Emperor, in order to redeem the impact, the next Battle of Nanjing will still be broadcast live all over the world through NHK, so it is necessary to issue a huge bounty in order to ensure victory!"

"Finally, and most importantly, the Battle of Nanking cannot be further delayed, otherwise it will definitely seriously affect the process of the Holy War, and may even lead to the War between Japan and China becoming a protracted and protracted war of attrition, which is undoubtedly extremely unfavorable for the Empire!"

At this time, Chang Yong suddenly said: "Your Excellency, General, I have an idea. ”

"Really?" Matsui Ishine said, "Changjun, what do you think?" ”

Chang Yong said: "The base camp adheres to the grace of His Majesty the Emperor, and this reward plan is just a general guiding opinion, and we can be completely flexible in how to implement it!" ”

"Nani?" Tsukada frowned, "But the problem is that this reward plan provided by the base camp is already very detailed, and it is not a guiding opinion at all. ”

Chang Yong said: "Your Excellency, there is an old saying in China, the general is outside, and the king's order is not affected. ”

"Soga!" Muto Zhang nodded, and also echoed, "The bureaucrats in the base camp are far away in Tokyo, and they don't know the actual situation on the Nanjing front at all, they think that the reward plan they have formulated is already very good, but in fact, in my opinion, this plan can be further optimized, and it can also play a greater role!" ”

"Really?" Matsui Shigen said happily, "How to optimize?" ”

Muto Akira and Changyong glanced at each other and said, "Introduce the mechanism of the competition!" ”

"Race?" Matsui Ishone's small eyes hiding behind the lenses immediately shot a glint of essence, and he said, "Muto-kun, and Chang-kun, you immediately draw up a detailed plan." He said to Tsukada-kun again, "Tsukada-kun, when Muto-kun and Naga-kun are ready, you can immediately send it back to Tokyo, and ask the base camp for approval!" ”

"Hello!" Several devils paused at the same time.

……

In Tokyo, NHK headquarters.

Ken Terashima put down his work and came to the office of Heiya Eguchi.

"President, are you looking for me?" Ken Terashima nodded and walked through the door.

"Terashima-kun, are you here?" Eguchi Heiya nodded, and said, "How is the show preparing?" ”

Ken Terashima: "I have prepared a few boxes of recordings of the speeches of the families of the soldiers, and when the time comes, they will be broadcast together with the award plan proposed by the Army General Staff Headquarters, and the effect should be very good." ”

Eguchi Ping also bowed his head slightly, and asked again: "Over there in Nanjing, have you found a new anchor?" ”

"I've found it." Kentoshi Terashima said, "Last night, I had already set off from Shanghai, and this meeting should have arrived outside Nanjing. ”

"That's good." Eguchi Heiya nodded, and said, "Terashima-kun, do you think that there are any shortcomings in this episode of the show we planned?" ”

"Is there one?" Kenmichi Terashima, "I don't think so. ”

"No, no." Heiya Eguchi said, "I always feel that there is something missing. ”

At this time, the female secretary suddenly walked in with a newspaper, bowed and said, "President, this is today's newspaper." ”

Seeing the female secretary put a thick stack of newspapers on her desk, Eguchi Heiya's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his hand and said, "I know, I know what's missing!" ”

Terashima was startled, and said in a voice, "President, what are you talking about?" ”

"Race!" Heiya Eguchi pulled out the Asahi Shimbun newspaper from a stack of newspapers and said excitedly, "I remember that the Asahi Shimbun once reported on the 100-person killing contest between Second Lieutenant Takeshi Noda and Second Lieutenant Toshiaki Mukai, and we can completely follow suit and hold a killing contest on the Voice of the Battlefield program!" ”

"Kill contest?" Ken Terashima's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Soga, kill the contest!" Eguchi Ping also slapped the table heavily, and said more and more excitedly, "Specifically, it is to make a list of honors for killing enemies, list the names of the warriors who have killed the most enemies on it, and accept the worship and cheers of all the soldiers on the front line and hundreds of millions of people in the empire. ”

After a pause, Eguchi said loudly again: "More importantly, we NHK can also use this to redeem our influence, and maybe we can even get the praise of His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Soga!" Kenmichi Terashima, "You deserve to be the president!" What a brilliant idea! ”

At this time, the phone on the desk suddenly rang, and Eguchi Heiya picked up the microphone casually: "Maxi Maxi, this is Eguchi Heiya, oh, Your Excellency the Deputy Chief!" ”

Hearing this, Ken Terashima immediately pricked up his ears.

Next, Eguchi Heiya paused again and again.

After a long time, Eguchi Heiya finally put down the microphone and said, "Terashima-kun, this is really the same thing that heroes see, His Excellency the Deputy Minister actually thought of going with me!" ”

"That." Kenmichi Terashima, "What did Your Excellency the Deputy Minister say?" ”

Eguchi Heiya said: "Your Excellency the Deputy Minister also proposed to hold a killing competition, but how to operate it still needs to be planned by our column group!" Terashima-kun, time is limited, so you can go back and gather all the members of the column group now. Speaking of which, he looked at his watch and said, "Ten o'clock, I must come up with a detailed plan before ten o'clock!" ”

"Ten o'clock?" Kenmichi Terashima, "President, is time too tight?" ”

"I can't help this, I can only work hard for you, because I have to broadcast for the first time at twelve o'clock at noon." Speaking of this, Eguchi Heiya bowed deeply again and said, "Terashima-kun, please!" ”
