Chapter 430 Shengmin, is your back hurting?
Entering the twelfth lunar month, under the constant urging of the base camp, Terauchi Hisaichi was finally ready to leave.
This time he planned to fly to Manchuria first, and then return to Japan via Manchuria.
General Terauchi was going to leave, which was a big event for the situation in Peiping, Tianjin and even the entire North China. There were actually thousands of people coming to see him off. Not to mention the high-ranking Japanese officials and traitors in Peiping and Tianjin, even important cities such as Baocheng, Jicheng and Daocheng sent representatives to see him off, and even Kanai Shoji from outside the city came.
This time he came not only to see off General Terauchi, but also brought a large number of gifts. They were all local products, not to mention beef and mutton, as well as various wild game and fine furs. He gave away gifts lavishly in Peiping, and Lin Ze also received a share, which was half a cart full.
With the endorsement of Terauchi Juichi, Kanai Shoji's grandson has finally stood up. In the past, they were like children carrying gold through a busy market, with covetous eyes everywhere, which scared them so much that they dared not show their money.
Now, at least I can spare some money to give out more gifts and build up a network of relationships in Beijing.
Lin Ze also thoughtfully recommended a restaurant to Kanai Shoji and asked him to treat guests there more often.
As expected, this country bumpkin was deeply shocked as soon as he arrived at the restaurant. He booked several halls for several nights in a row, creating a lot of profit for Lin Ze.
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, a farewell ceremony was held at Nanyuan Airport.
Terauchi Juichi's arm still looked unhealed and was in a sling, but he was wearing a cloak on the outside, so people who didn't know the inside story probably wouldn't be able to tell.
Sugiyama Yuan also came. Although he broke his eyebrow bone, fortunately it was not a serious problem and did not affect his normal movements. Compared with Terauchi Juichi, he was lucky.
Yamashita Tomoyuki was shot in the shoulder, which made his entire arm unable to move. When he walked, one arm moved while the other did not. It made people feel awe-inspiring. They wondered what kind of person this Chief of Staff Yamashita was, a one-armed hero?
In this way, the three injured guys chatted for a long time in front of the plane, and no one knew what they were plotting.
After a while, Major General Matsuzaki and Kitahara Ransuke were called over.
From a distance, I could only see Kitahara bowing repeatedly with a look of gratitude in his eyes.
The crowd that was seeing them off shivered in the cold wind, watching these grandchildren chatting endlessly.
Lao Gao wrapped his coat tightly. Although he looked fat, that was all because of his weakness. He was not cold-resistant and his hands and feet became cold after a while. He didn't dare to stamp his feet, so he could only put his hands in his sleeves and shake his body constantly.
"Hey, Director, please stop shaking. I'm dizzy."
Lin Ze was standing next to him. Actually, feeling dizzy was not a big deal. The key point was that Lao Gao took up too much space. When he swayed, everyone around him would sway with him, making it look like they were dancing.
"Shengmin, this is really a crime. What do you think they are talking about? They haven't finished talking for such a long time!"
"How would I know? It's so far away and the wind is so strong. Even if they shout at the top of their lungs, we may not be able to hear them." Lin Ze yawned and looked a little tired.
In fact, he had opened his ears and could really hear a few words.
However, the topics they talked about were not very interesting, mainly small talk, and Terauchi Juichi asked Matsuzaki and Kitahara to support the work of General Sugiyama Madoka. In fact, he was just pointing out Sugiyama Madoka, saying that these two are my people and you have to take good care of them.
Then they talked about the security war. Sugiyama Yuan said that he would continue to promote the security war this year, continuing Terauchi Juichi's route and truly achieving security throughout North China.
Gao Shengping was stunned. What the hell, Brother Shengmin actually yawned.
This kid was always full of energy in the past, why does he look so exhausted today?
He bumped into Lin Ze with a sly smile, "Shengmin, what's wrong? Is your waist hurting? I'm telling you, when I was your age, I didn't know how to get tired either. I could pee three feet high in the wind! But guess what, now my waist or back hurts, and sometimes I can't wake up no matter how hard I try. Even when I wake up, I feel like I haven't slept at all, I just don't have any energy. But it doesn't matter, I have a prescription, I'll give it to you later, you can get the medicine according to the prescription, and you'll be fine after taking it for a while!"
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Director, you know what? I may have been too busy recently. I am really a little tired!"
I thought to myself, even an iron man needs to sleep. I didn’t sleep all night yesterday and was outside in the cold for most of the night. How can I not be tired!
Lao Gao seemed to have regained his confidence. He no longer felt cold and came over to gossip with Lin Ze mysteriously: "Shengmin, look at this general Terauchi. He is usually very serious. Hey, I heard that two days ago, he arranged a special train with dozens of carriages of things to go to Tianjin and load them on the ship. What do you think this is all about?"
"what?"
"They are all treasures! Think about it, if one person gives one today and another person gives one tomorrow, how many good things would that be? Putting aside the gold, silver and jade, just the porcelain and ornaments, right? Those are all good things in the eyes of the Japanese, so of course he has to take them away!"
"There are so many? They must be worth a lot of money!"
Gao Shengping got excited when he saw Lin Ze talking to him. "Let me tell you, the things sent away by train are not top-notch stuff. Did you see that plane behind? They said it was flying with the general. I guess it was delivering something to the general!"
Lin Ze was a little surprised. Lao Gao was really good! He had gained experience in accepting gifts!
He was right. The plane behind was indeed carrying things for Terauchi Hisaichi. There were more than twenty safes in it, which contained the admiral's most confidential documents and favorite items.
Terauchi Juichi and his group chatted for more than an hour and finally got on the plane.
The plane took off amid waving and wishes.
Everyone can go home, hug their wives and take a nap.
................
Xinjing.
Terauchi Juichi had to change to another plane here.
When transferring the luggage, the attachés would count it as usual.
After casually counting the safes to be transported away, the attendant's eyes soon widened.
Nani! ?
Why is one missing?
Did I count wrong? I clearly counted them several times when I moved them up last night and even put labels on them. How could I have made a mistake?
After counting again, the attendant panicked.
He hurriedly called his superior, and the two of them checked it out and finally found that the safe numbered 23 was missing!
The superior also widened his eyes and muttered, "How is this possible... The luggage was moved up last night and has been under guard the whole time. How could one of them be missing for no apparent reason?"
The key question is, we have already arrived in Xinjing. Even if we find that something is missing, do we have to fly back to Beijing to look for it?
The officer closed his eyes in pain.
It’s over, his future is all over!
