After the mercenary spy incident, Sohide Asano and the entire mercenary division became turtles, shrinking themselves in their shells every day for fear of causing trouble. Although I am careful everywhere, I am still uneasy in my heart. The Guards Brigade and the Special Operations Brigade were withdrawn, but the mercenary division had new neighbors, the 4th and 11th Divisions of the Army.

Dalian is such a small place, it is really a waste to station 70,000 troops, but no one dares to mention this opinion, what the two main divisions are stationed next to the mercenary division, everyone knows in their hearts. A purge killed almost 3,000 people, and even censored everyone, but the high-level leaders of Northern Manchukuo were obviously still not at ease with the mercenary division. Asano understands this mentality of the top level very well, so he doesn't care about anything except training, just looking forward to getting through this period as soon as possible.

Han Ying, who is neither yin nor yang, is gone, but the miscellaneous department does not return to darkness, they blatantly show their existence, and follow Asano every day with a young man named Wenbo. Wenbo is only about twenty years old, much younger than Guo Xing'a, but he also carries the epaulettes of a lieutenant colonel on his shoulders, which is by no means an ordinary person. Wenbo looks very frivolous, with a broken mouth as if it was rented, endlessly babbling, and not a word useful. Asano was annoyed enough by this little enemy, but he had to be careful. Wenbo seems to talk nonsense every day, and he is greedy for a glass of good wine, but in fact he is definitely a very character, but if there is a trace of contempt for him, he will inevitably pay a heavy price.

As soon as it was October, the courtyard of the mercenary division was lively, and a large number of large quantities of equipment were transported here. Zhongzheng Type 2 rifle, Three-year type*, Tongzhi Type 1 water-cooled heavy machine gun, Type 5 70 mm infantry gun, 100 mm mountain artillery, 100 mm light * gun, 100 mm * gun, 120 mm plus howitzer, Zhenguo artifact 32 times 15 grenades, in addition to light machine guns and * launchers, the equipment of the main force is almost all there, and even 6,000 Kwantung horses were sent to the cavalry wing. Uesugi and the other officers were all happy, and the soldiers were all gathered around to see the freshness, but Asano felt a chill to the bone. The mercenary division has not yet cleared the suspicion of the rebels! At this time, it is definitely not a good thing to get such a large amount of advanced equipment, and it may even be a bait to lure some people to show up.

"Division commander, commander, please go to the headquarters for a meeting!" Asano was still thinking about the conspiracy in this batch of weapons, and Shanyu's dog-legged martial arts didn't even knock on the door, and walked in directly.

"Hmmm! Got it! "Wulin's only rude behavior made Asano very uncomfortable, but he also knew that Wulin's only thing was for his good. Weakening, or even belittling, Asano now, is an act of protection for him.

No one said a word, and no one invited him, but as soon as Asano was together, Wenbo, a master of the miscellaneous department, followed like Asano's tail. When the two of them arrived at the gate of the courtyard, there were already two soldiers assigned to Wenbo who had prepared their horses for Wenbo, even faster than Asano's guards. Asano didn't believe that these chores that Wenbo had temporarily grabbed would move faster than his own guards, obviously these guys had already prepared, Wenbo had already known that they were going to the headquarters for a meeting, and he greeted these boys early in the morning.

"Commander Asano, I'll give you good news!" Wenbo's silence still didn't last more than five minutes, and not long after the two walked side by side, Wenbo sold the gossip again.

"Brother, don't make fun of me, Asano is in a place of suspicion, and he worries every day about how to confess himself, where will there be any good news!" Asanoshi secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, this good news of Wenbo must be bad news.

"Commander! It's really good news, and it's an opportunity for you to prove your loyalty to the general and to the whole world! "Wenbo always has a grinning expression.

"Are you going to go to war?" Asano is also very happy, if Goxinga starts a war against Russia again, and the mercenary division fights bravely on the front line, maybe he will be able to get out of this dilemma of not being a person inside and out.

"Hehe, you'll know when you get there!" Wenbo began to sell Guanzi, hanging Asano's appetite, of course, this matter may not be good news but bad news, it depends on how Asano understands.

Wenbo didn't say it, and Asano didn't want to ask much. Wenbo is the most annoying person, his identity is an agent of the miscellaneous department, which makes everyone have a lot of scruples, he can talk nonsense unscrupulously, but others can't ask a word. Fortunately, the answer this time is very close, and when it comes to the headquarters, Tal will naturally announce it, and Asano is not in a hurry.

After arriving at Tár's headquarters, Asano was even more convinced of his judgment that he was really going to fight. The headquarters was very busy inside and out, and a large number of staff officers were all busy on all fours. The usually most idle department has now become the most chaotic and busiest place, and the secretaries of various departments look like they are going to move. Asano, who has been in the army for many years, knows that this is making war preparations, and the department has to issue ammunition and prepare all kinds of spare parts.

After Asano and Fumihiro entered Tár's office, they had to wait in line in the lobby outside, and there were several Marine officers standing in front of Tár, apparently not yet having completed some communication. Waiting, Wenbo walked around very casually, Asano stood quite respectfully, but his eyes were also attracted by Wenbo, and then he saw the huge sand table in the hall of Tár's office. This sand table has always been placed in Thar's office, sometimes it is the details of Dalian Bay, sometimes it is the overview of the South Seas or Latin America, but today's sand table is very special, because the mountains and rivers there, Asano is very familiar, it is a Japanese sand table.

Asano's breathing became heavier, and his heart shrunk, and at this time, a Japanese sand table appeared in this place, and the deep meaning of it was self-evident. The day Asano became a mercenary, there was a trace of worry in his heart, but at that time, Northern Manchu was in full swing, but Japan was poor and weak, and Asano Soshige always thought that this day would come after a long time. Although Asano has always advertised himself as a Manchurian, and he really has a Manchurian nationality, he is still a Japanese in his bones. His poor hometown suddenly became the enemy of his new home, and Asano was a little at a loss for a while, he really didn't want to go to war against his homeland.

"You're here, okay! Let's have a meeting! Tal sent away the officers in front of him and walked out of the back room.

"Yes!" Wenbo didn't say anything but smiled and nodded, and Asano agreed nervously, and he was very strange, obviously there were only three people, Thal, Wenbo and himself, what could be done.

Asano entered the inner room, but he didn't notice anyone else, so he sat crampedly opposite Tal. Wenbo poured water for everyone and sat down next to Tár, as if he had been here a lot, and had nothing to do with Tár. Tal did not have the slightest difference in Wenbo's strange behavior, and habitually took his own cup to refill Wenbo.

"The Japanese government was rebellious and rude, and after invading the Ryukyus for no reason, it invaded Taiwan again. At first, the imperial court and our government in North Manchuria still wanted to negotiate with them, but the Japanese government of Japan was stubborn and made many excessive demands, so my government in North Manchuria decided to officially start a war against Japan! "Tal first informed Asano of the decision of the cabinet and the general, of course, there was a lot of moisture in his words, the so-called stubborn Japanese government envoy Okubo Ritsu, at this time is still in a tug of war with Yixin, and he has not seen Luan Yu yet! Guoxinga is determined to fight, and the breakdown of the negotiations is just an excuse, and the outcome of the negotiations has long been doomed.

"Ah...... Be...... The general is wise! Asano had already made some mental preparations, but after hearing Thal's words with his own ears, Asano still entered a state of sleepwalking.

"I have arranged the deployment of all the ministries, and I will finally call you here. Asano, don't be disappointed, it's a good thing to put you last this time, the general is going to reuse you! Tal, regardless of Asano's condition, said to himself.

"Reuse?" Although Asano was confused, he could still hear the word reuse clearly. In the past, he looked forward to being reused every day, but this time, he really didn't want it.

"The current Japanese government is mainly those who are strong in the southwest, so the focus of our strategy this time is on the strong southwestern domain. The Changzhou Domain and the Satsuma Domain were the biggest leaders at the time of the fall, Asano, your mission this time is to attack Kyushu Island and level his Satsuma Domain! "This time it was really reused, and Asano got the opportunity to take out the Satsuma Domain, which had dominated Japan for hundreds of years.

"The Satsuma Domain is strong, and my mercenary division is ...... This ......" Asano wanted to find an excuse, he really didn't want to take on such a mission, he would rather go to the far north to play with the polar bears than attack his homeland.

"You don't have to worry, Satsuma is known as the Japanese Bear Clan, but that's what it is. After updating the equipment of your division this time, it will be easy for your division to take a little bit of Satsuma's feudal army and militia. And while you are attacking, the 4th and 11th Divisions will cover you on the flanks, and they will support you as soon as you are in danger. With a single word, Tal sealed Asano's retreat.

"The Fourth Division and the Eleventh Division are both first-class main forces, and they can be regarded as the absolute trump card of our Manchurian Army, what are you afraid of when they give you a guard. No matter how powerful the Satsuma Domain is, your 70,000 army can also take care of them! "Tal seems to be giving Asano a reassuring pill.

"Yes! Commander, you're right! "Asano is like eating a yellow lotus, he really can't say if he is bitter, the fourth and eleventh divisions don't say anything about Satsuma, and now it is indeed giving Asano great pressure.

"How's the Warlord?" Tal asked Fumibo again, but Asano pricked up his ears, no one had told him about the Warlords.

"The two thousand warlords are all in place, and they can do it with people and supervise the battle, and the cowardly one can't run, and the weapon can't be lost with a single shot!" Wenbo is still not on the right track.

Asano was like falling into a sea of ice, a cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow. The new weapons that the mercenaries have been waiting for for a long time are probably not the treasures in their hands, but their talismans.

On October 17, the ninth year of Tongzhi, the mercenary division landed on Kyushu Island, they were all Japanese, but now they have become invaders.
