Chapter 70: Ichiro Hirata

Thank you for the tip!

…………………………

Coming out of Feng Delin's room, Feng Yong breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the old man's complexion, he would be fine after recuperating for a while. As for the issue of the 28th Division that Feng Delin explained, he was not in a hurry, as long as Feng Delin was still alive, none of the people of the 28th Division dared to rebel, this was Feng Delin's prestige. Besides, he just came back, and many things are not clear, and at the same time, he has to sort out his attitude towards the 28th Division.

As soon as Feng Yong was about to visit his mother, the housekeeper of the Feng Mansion led one person into the inner courtyard. It was a middle-aged man, not tall, with looped legs and a mustache. A Japanese kimono stands out. Although the housekeeper of the Feng Mansion is also a well-known figure in the three eastern provinces, he is very respectful of this Japanese.

Feng Yong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to meet him here. But now that I have seen my face, I can't turn away based on politeness.

When he came to Feng Yong, Feng Yong bowed to the Japanese and said respectfully, "Teacher Hirata, the student has asked you to say goodbye." ”

"Han Qingsang, you're back! I've heard about your situation in Jilin, it's good, it's good! Strange Chinese came out of the mouth of the middle-aged Japanese man in front of him. Since the Treaty of Shimonoseki, more and more Japanese have walked the land of China, and most of them speak Chinese. But after all, it's not your native language, and no matter how well you learn it, there is always a trace. Moreover, the Japanese speak only average Chinese in front of me.

This somewhat arrogant middle-aged Japanese is none other than Feng Yong's Japanese teacher Ichiro Hirata. Although from the bottom of his heart, Feng Yong hates the Japanese very much. But in the face of himself, a foreign language teacher, Feng Yong must maintain basic politeness. If his reputation for not respecting his teacher spreads, then the prestige of Feng Shaoshuai, who he managed to manage, will also be greatly reduced. Seeing that Ichiro Hirata looked like he was all his own credit, Feng Yong secretly disdained it. He's just his own Japanese teacher, and he doesn't seem to have used Japanese before going north this time, so he has the credit for his fart.

"Yes, Hirata-sensei. Why didn't Mr. Louis come with you? Feng Yong asked. Luis and Ichiro Hirata were both Feng Yong's foreign language teachers, the difference is that one teaches English and the other teaches Japanese. However, whether before or after rebirth, Feng Yong maintained basic respect for this Hirata Ichiro, and had a good relationship with the British teacher Louis. After all, in addition to being a little old-fashioned, Louis is still very responsible.

"Han Qingsan, Mr. Louis has returned to China. Now the English teacher of Feng Mansion is handed over to Mr. Sicas, an American. Mr. Sicas was teaching Han Qingsan's younger siblings, and I had also come to visit General Fung Tak-lin on his behalf. Ichiro Hirata's little eyes turned and turned, showing extreme cunning. In fact, Feng Yong, who knows him, knows that his blinking of eyes is just a habit, and it has nothing to do with IQ.

"Mr. Hirata, my father is resting inside, let me inform you." Saying that, Feng Yong entered the inner room again and told Feng Delin, Feng Delin still had a good feeling for Ichiro Hirata, although he was a little tired, but he still met him.

"Han Qingsang, wait a minute, I have something to say to you." When Hirata Ichiro entered the house, he said to Feng Yong. Feng Yong paused for a moment, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his face did not change at all, and he still nodded respectfully.

In the back garden of Fengfu, the wind and snow have stopped, and the cold pines and cypresses in the yard, and the cold plums of the old trees have a special taste against the backdrop of the flying snow. A small charcoal stove was set up in the pavilion, and a small kettle was smoking from it. Feng Yong and Ichiro Hirata sat around the courtyard, and everyone else consciously avoided it. After all, Feng Yong is no longer a young master who doesn't understand anything. The news that Feng Shaoshuai was in charge of the party had already spread in the Feng Mansion, and the people in the mansion also respected Feng Yong more, seeing that Feng Yong and Ichiro Hirata had something to discuss, the others consciously retreated.

"Mr. Hirata, please tell me something!"

Although Ichiro Hirata is a little obscene and a little lustful, according to Feng Yong's understanding, this guy is also from a famous family in Japan, but unfortunately he doesn't have any great skills, and later he didn't know how to come to the Northeast and became a teacher in Feng Yong's family. In the past, Feng Yong didn't take him seriously, he just thought he was an ordinary Japanese ronin, and after being reborn, Feng Yong didn't stay long in Feng Mansion and went north directly. Didn't meet this Ichiro Hirata. So the perception of him is still stuck in the original. It's just that judging from his behavior just now, he doesn't look like an ordinary Japanese at all. I'm afraid that in addition to Mr. Feng Mansion, there is another identity, which makes Feng Yong have to care.

"Han Qingsang, I heard that you fought with the bandit mountain eagle in the southeast of Ji during this time, and you won the victory, I want to congratulate you here."

"Mr. Hirata is serious, I am only taking Ji Dongnan preliminarily, and many things have not been dealt with yet! If something happened to my father, I hurried back. But doesn't the teacher dislike the military? Why do you ask about this now? In Feng Yong's memory, it seems that Ichiro Hirata does not like the military very much, and has repeatedly criticized the bad status quo of the Japanese army in front of him.

"Don't hide it from Han Qingsang, I have received an order from China, and I have been transferred to the North Korean security army, as for what to do, it is not clear yet." Ichiro Hirata had an unconcealed joy on his face, and although he repeatedly attacked the darkness within the Japanese army during his time in Mukden, he still hoped that he could contribute everything to His Majesty the Emperor like the older generation. This time, the person in charge of the special high-tech department of the DPRK security army summoned him, asking him to report to North Korea after completing a mission, and this task was to test Feng Yong's political leanings. Examine Feng Yong's attitude towards Japan as a country. Although Feng Delin is a hardcore pro-Japanese faction, if Feng Yong is the inherited 28th Division, the Japanese will not be in a hurry at all, but the problem is that Feng Yong is an army of his own, and he has developed and grown under the condition of being ignored by Japan. At present, Japan's high-level policy on the northeast is also quarrelling, and the young Zhuang faction believes that they should find an excuse to take the territory of the three eastern provinces, even if not all of them, but also swallow some of the resource-rich areas. Conservatives, however, believe that the country has not yet fully recovered the vitality lost in the Russo-Japanese War, and that it is not suitable to use a sword. The forces in the northeast are still dominated by political inducements. Under such a policy, a chaotic eastern province is more in Japan's interests. The political orientation of the heads of the major powers in the three eastern provinces is extremely important. Feng Yong, as an important force in the northeast, is also concerned about Japan's attitude.

With the victory of the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, Japan's international status has been greatly enhanced, and although the Western powers still look down on Japan somewhat, they have initially classified it into the ranks of world powers. This gave the Japanese a great sense of superiority, and they looked down on the Chinese, who were also yellow, but now their sense of superiority was not as arrogant as it was during the Anti-Japanese War. Even the crazy Japanese top brass attaches great importance to the power of the Republic of China, after all, China is too big compared to Japan.

"Congratulations to Mr. Hirata for his promotion! I don't know when Mr. Hirata will leave, but the students will have a banquet to see Mr. Hirata off. Feng Yong looked happy, as if he was really happy for Ichiro Hirata.

After more than half a year of experience in Jilin, Feng Yong's city government has also deepened a lot, and when it comes to fooling people, Feng Yong is of course much stronger than Ichiro Hirata, who has not had much contact with politics. In addition, although Feng Yong's performance was not bad, it was only average, and there was nothing surprising about it. In addition, it turned out that Feng Yong did not have contact with this strange uncle who was a little lustful, so of course Ichiro Hirata couldn't see Feng Yong's insincerity.

"Han Qingsang, as my student, I am very optimistic about you. I heard that you have created a unit of your own, do you want me to apply to the Imperial Army for a group of active duty soldiers to be your military instructors? I was a classmate of Chief of Staff of the 1st Brigade of the DPRK Security Force, and I could easily invite people through his connections. ”

"Hehe, Mr. Hirata doesn't have to bother. You're just entering the military now, so don't worry about students. I said that I would not be able to return to Jilin during this time, so I would temporarily take the place of my father to deal with the situation of the 28th Division, and there were so many Japanese instructors in the 28th Division, so I could transfer a group of people. According to my father, these officers are also active soldiers! Feng Yong looked botherless.

Hirata Ichiro was quite satisfied with Feng Yong's performance, he bowed his head and said with a sip of tea: "Is Han Qingsang going to merge the Jilin Public Security Corps into the 28th Division, I heard that the number of the Public Security Corps is tens of thousands!" ”

Feng Yong did not refute this question, and said: "There are indeed 20,000 people. However, the vast majority of them are local bandits who have been co-opted, and they are a rabble with very poor discipline. If you want to become an army, you don't know if it's the Year of the Monkey! I now understand how troublesome it is to build an army, in addition to training, but also to organize food. There's a lot of mess going on. However, I don't want to incorporate it into the 28th Division yet. ”

"Don't want to? Han Qingsang, do you want to establish two systems? This is a taboo for soldiers! ”

"Huh! I didn't expect Mr. Hirata to understand military affairs, I really underestimated you. Feng Yong said with a smile. A touch of embarrassment flashed on Ichiro Hirata's face, and he hurriedly covered it up: "Where did I study military affairs, I just accidentally saw it in some books." However, Han Qingsang, the troops of the two systems under his command are easy to cause turmoil. ”

"I know that. But you can also see that although my old man was physically injured, he was not injured at all, and he recovered after a month or two of rest, and the 28th Division would not listen to him at that time. I temporarily managed the 28th Division while my father was recuperating, and when my father recovered, I went back to continue to be the commander of the Security Corps. As for the situation of taking over the 28th Division in the future, it is still too early to say! I'm not an adult, and my father is still a strong man, and if I get involved now, it will lead to internal conflicts. However, Mr. Hirata, after you go to Korea, can you introduce some Japanese arms dealers to your students? My security corps now has some problems with the source of arms. Always find some stable and trustworthy doors. ”

"Arms? Are you saying that your troops are going to use our Japanese munitions? Ichiro Hirata said excitedly. You must know that at present, most of China's armed forces choose to use weapons from Germany and other Western countries, and the quota of Japanese-made weapons in the world arms market is not large. If Feng Yong's security corps used all Japanese arms and weapons, and then controlled him through arms dealers, even if there were no Japanese instructors in the security corps, their movements would be restricted by Japan. If he succeeds in letting Feng Yong complete the Japanese-style equipment, he will definitely be able to satisfy the North Korean Special High-tech Branch.

Thinking of this, Hirata Ichiro was completely satisfied, no longer talking about the army, the two of them chatted a little about family life, this Hirata Ichiro is not a bad person now, although he likes to take a shelf, but Feng Yong's city government can still bear it. And now that I'm leaving, I'm getting a lot closer to Feng Yong.
