"Wow, what a big fish"

"Whew, add vegetables today.

"Commander, it's good luck." A staff officer complimented.

"No, the commander is skilled!" Another staff officer corrected that he clearly knew the essence of sycophants.

Nishimura Shoji laughed: "I liked to catch fish when I was a child, and I went to the river and stream to catch it every summer, and even my homework was delayed for this matter, but I was not less scolded, and then I graduated from Yokote Middle School and reported to the military academy, I can report to the army or the navy, I think I like to catch fish so much, or the navy, so I reported to Etajima, so it's been almost 40 years, but I never thought that one day I could actually go to Hawaii to fish." ”

According to the orders of Horiyoshi and Tsukahara, the Second Air War carried out patrol and blockade missions on the outskirts of Hawaii, although it was inevitable to deal with submarine smuggling, Los Angeles Express, and San Francisco Express, but most of the time there was nothing to do, especially the Musashi where Nishimura was located was even more idle, and even if there was something, it was not the turn of the Yamato-class to come forward, and the destroyers and cruisers below had long been settled, and they could only hang out at sea.

When he was really bored, Nishimura Shoji took a few staff officers and guards and began to fish the Musashi, which is also unique in the world.

Sea fishing can't really cast nets on the Musashi, down the pole, that is not only too high but also easy to be criticized, Nishimura doesn't want to cause any trouble, every time the traffic boat out of the enjoyment, Musashi and the destroyers are a few kilometers away from a distance to watch the patrol, Kakuji Tsunoda once wanted to persuade Nishimura to pay a few words to pay attention to the image, I heard that Nishimura won a lot and from time to time let the soldiers on duty add vegetables, so he didn't come to disturb his Yaxing, and then Horiyoshi and Tsukahara also knew, everyone laughed: It's not a big deal, On the contrary, it seems that the victory of the army is in hand, and it is an encouragement to the whole army.

However, it was clear that Nishimura's sea fishing business would have to be suspended ahead of schedule today, because the Musashi suddenly raised a flag warning that there was an important message that needed to be handled by the commander immediately.

After reading the telegram sent by Ryunosuke Kusaka, Nishimura Shoji was overjoyed: "It's still the chief of staff who is considerate, knowing that I'm bored and finding me something to do with you, we're going to do something again!" ”

A bunch of staff officers burst into laughter!

On the afternoon of the next day, the majestic Musashi Formation stopped two US military hospital ships flying the Red Cross flag that had retreated from Pearl Harbor and Hawaii Island as agreed.

Thomas, the deputy director of the US military hospital ship opposite, was anxious: "Your commander has promised to release us on the west coast, you can't be treacherous and unreasonable!" ”

"Presumptuous, the two countries are now at war, and the commander promised to release the wounded on the west coast, but who knows if there are any personnel who do not belong to the wounded and materials that do not belong to the need for treatment mixed in?" One of the Navy lieutenants scolded vividly.

"Who are you?" Seeing that he couldn't speak, Thomas set his sights on Shoji Nishimura, who was obviously the highest-ranking military officer.

"Vice Admiral Shoji Nishimura of the Imperial Japanese Navy!" He laughed, "Do you know that I caught an armed smuggling fleet near Hokkaido, and caught thousands of U.S. spies smuggling arms, and they wanted to pretend to be Russians to get by, and they ended up in the end, you know?"

Thomas shuddered, not daring to say anything more.

"Get on your knees! On your knees! After a short time, the Japanese military doctors and soldiers dragged out a few "wounded soldiers" from the crowd, although their bodies were wrapped in large areas of gauze and bandages.

It seemed to be badly injured, but in the process of dragging, there was no sign of anything wrong, and tears and wails were inevitable.

Ordinary people can't see fake injuries and real injuries, and can't military doctors who deal with the wounded every day recognize them?

Thomas's face was as dead as ashes, and he didn't dare to say a word.

"Mr. Thomas? What's going on? Nishimura Shoji said coldly, "You put these fake wounded people in?" ”

"No, no," Thomas hung his head, "I don't know." ”

I don't know if it's obviously fake, but all the people who can stuff people in are big dealers, how dare he refuse?

"Report to the sir, a total of 564 wounded were examined, and 16 disguised people were found."

"Good. Now bring all the crew members to the deck and interrogate them one by one! Nishimura, who had a search experience, looked at the trembling crew members, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Give each of them a piece of paper and a pen, work independently, and draw me the main functional areas of this ship, the position of the gangway, the number of deck floors, and the layout of the cabins, isn't it right?"

Most of them jumped up to draw pictures with relief, only a few of them shook like chaff, and there was a fat man in a chef's uniform who was sweating profusely and stammered: "Sir, I am the cook who just came on board some time ago, and I am not familiar with the whole boat, can I only draw the part of the kitchen?" ”

"Huh?" Nishimura Shoji shouted, "Raise your hands!" ”

The fat man raised his hand tremblingly, and Nishimura saw that he had a thin skin and tender meat in his hand, and he knew it in his heart, so he smiled and said: "There is no need to draw the kitchen, Lieutenant General Ben is not interested in the kitchen, but I am very interested in Western food, come here, take him down to cook, I want to taste chocolate potato chips for a while, only he is allowed to do it independently, and no one else is allowed to help!" ”

The fat man cried and crawled to the ground to cook under the escort of the bayonet, leaving only the people who could draw on the deck, and the real seafarers had already submitted the drafts, and the people who couldn't draw and couldn't peek were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks, but they couldn't find anyone to help, and the bayonets were bright and dangling behind them, and the 7 or 8 fake crew members were naturally recognized.

After a few more minutes, the fat man came out with a plate of chocolate potato chips, and a bunch of people laughed, the crispy potato chips that were supposed to be yellow were basically burned, and the chocolate sauce was not evenly coated at all, and the most obvious thing was that he said that he was a chef, and the potato chips were cut thick and thin, and the size was completely strange, and a housewife could do better than him.

"I can't swallow a bite of this disgusting thing, you can eat it!" The guards on the side couldn't help but say, and forced the fat man to swallow it with a bayonet, and now there is no need to ask whether the fat man is a real chef or a fake chef.

In fact, the fat man was quite quick, knowing that he was fat and could not pretend to be a wounded soldier, so he pretended to be a cook, and then deduced that he had just joined and was unfamiliar with the whole ship, and tried to depict only the galley, he still knew it, but these hands with thin skin and tender flesh eventually betrayed him.

"Dean Thomas, can you introduce me to this gentleman?"

Thomas sighed, "He's Mr. Walker, a member of the Hawaii District Council and the largest sugar merchant in the area, but I don't know he actually got on the boat and became a so-called cook." ”

"Sir, the other people's identities have been interrogated clearly, either the leading person in Hawaii, or an important member of the government agency or legislature, there is only one officer who has passed the test in the dark, and there are no other soldiers."

"Not bad! Not bad! Nishimura said to Thomas with a smile, "I know that you are difficult to behave, a small hospital director, of course there is no way to face the local authorities and bureaucracy, but I will support you!" ”

Nishimura brought in the wounded American soldiers who were really wounded, and addressed them: "Lieutenant General Ben has a very respectful attitude towards the American officers and soldiers who fought bravely and unfortunately died honorably or were wounded, but I despise this kind of coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and this kind of so-called upper-class people who go through crooked ways in an attempt to get by. Is it worth your bloody sacrifice for this shameless country? ”

Most of the wounded looked indifferent, and some of them shouted angrily: "Kill these bastards!" Fuck these bitches! ”

Nishimura Shoji smiled slightly, and gestured to the person next to him, and the guard kicked the fat man Walker in the ass, kicking him into the crowd, and before he could get up from the deck, the raindrops of fists and leather shoes fell on him, causing him to let out a burst of howls like killing pigs.

"! Lao Tzu is blind and has a broken leg to protect you greedy dog mongrels who are afraid of death" An American second lieutenant cried and beat Walker with his cane, "I'll kill you, kill you shameless!" Not to mention the shame of you, but also to lose the face of the United States in front of the Japanese, it is simply innocent! ”

"Release!"

After escorting more than 40 people from the two hospital boats, Nishimura Shoji finally raised his hand to let him go, and waved his hand to the wounded: "Gentlemen, have a good journey, I wish you a speedy recovery!" ”

"Sir, what about these people? Wiped them all out? The staff officers pointed to the fake wounded and fake crew members who had been screened.

"Killed?" Nishimura Shoji shook his head and said, "Why did you kill it?" Send people away! ”

"Isn't that cheaper for them?"

"Cheap?" Nishimura laughed meaningfully, "How can there be such a cheap thing, let them write and sign the indictments one by one, and then go to the island under our control to find a printing house to print as leaflets, and then send planes to scatter them on the Americans, I believe they must have a wonderful face." ”

"Then why did you let him go later, fat man?"

"He's been beaten into a real wounded," Nishimura barely held back a laugh, "When these two boats go to the west coast, and this kind of thing is reported by the media again, do you think anyone else is willing to die to protect the big guy?" ”

"Sir, clever!"

"No matter how clever there is, they all learned from Chief Hori, and you should learn a little too." Nishimura nodded to the staff officers in high spirits, "To fight with the Americans, you can't use brute force, you have to use skill!" ”
