Super Dictator

Phoenix City, the headquarters of the Japanese Tenth Brigade.

This was originally a wealthy man's mansion, but now it has become the residence of Naofumi Tachimi, the leader of the 10th Brigade.

Immediately, he saw Naofumi holding a shimmering samurai sword in his hand, standing upright in the yard, his eyes slightly closed, practicing his sword skills.

The chief of staff of the 10th Brigade, Komasa Shuto, stood not far from Tatemi Naofumi with a respectful expression on his face, looking at Tatemi Naofumi with burning eyes.

It was immediately apparent that Naofumi was a famous swordsman from the Yagyu Shinin-ryu sect, and he still had some real skills in his hands. Komasa Shuto stayed by his side every day, and under his influence, his swordsmanship also improved a lot.

"Your Excellency, the brigade commander, is indeed a master of swordsmanship. He was able to stand still for half an hour. If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to stand for ten minutes." Xiao Zhengshu said with emotion in his heart.

A strong wind blew by, sweeping away the dead leaves in the courtyard and blowing up the corners of Naofumi Tatemi's clothes. The old tree in the courtyard could not bear the harassment and had to shake off all its leaves. For a moment, Naofumi Tatemi was shrouded in the hair. Among the yellow fallen leaves.

In this situation, one can immediately see that Naofumi is like an enlightened immortal, ready to become immortal and ascend to immortality.

Ah𪡀!

Xiao Zhengshuto rubbed his nose in embarrassment. He accidentally sneezed just now. Xiao Zhengshu Ren could not help but secretly blame himself. His sneezing ruined the beautiful scene in front of him. I hope your Excellency, the brigade commander, will not blame you.

Sure enough, I saw Naofumi's closed eyes slowly opening, and then he looked at Komasa Shuto with some surprise.

"Your Excellency, I..."

Komasa Shuto just opened his mouth to explain the situation, but when he saw Naofumi, he stuck his samurai sword on the ground, waved his hand and said: "Komasa-kun, how long have you been here? Alas, I didn't expect that I would meet Naofumi today. I'm old and frail, and I accidentally fell asleep while standing. If Xiao Zhengjun hadn't interrupted me, I might have continued to sleep. "

Xiaozheng Shuren: “…”

"By the way, Komasa-kun, has the order been issued from the General Staff Headquarters?" Seeing that Naofumi immediately ignored Komasa Shuto who was in a daze, he asked as he walked into the room.

Not long after, the two came to the room and sat down on their knees.

Xiao Zhengshuren finally came to his senses, smiled and took out a piece of paper from his arms and said: "I am here to report this matter to His Excellency the brigade commander. After careful study and speculation by the First Army Staff Headquarters, Xiyi was in the third After the Japanese continued to attack the Qing army, Commander Yamagata Aritomo has agreed with the opinion of the General Staff Headquarters. Our fifth division is the elite of the Imperial Japanese Army, and our tenth brigade is even more elite. The commander of the regiment, His Excellency Nozu Michizuki, hopes that our 10th Brigade will continue to serve as a vanguard force to defeat the Qing army stationed at Dakaoling in one fell swoop and open up the road to Liaoyang for our army."

Seeing that Shang Wen nodded complacently, he sighed and said: "The Chinese have a saying that a drum is as powerful as a tiger. After the Korean War and the Battle of Hushan, the Qing army's morale was dispirited. Originally, our army should have taken advantage of the Qing army's strength at Dagao. The foothold in Ling was not stable, and the pursuit continued with the momentum of victory. Lord Shanxian was too cautious, so our army lost the opportunity and allowed the Qing army to build complete fortifications in Dakaoling. "

Tachimi Naofumi had defeated Yamagata Aritomo many times in the Japanese shogunate war, so he had no scruples in speaking, but Komasakito did not dare to say so.

Xiao Zhengshu smiled and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, may have considered that our army has gone deep behind enemy lines and the front is too long, and the logistics equipment will not be able to keep up for a while."

I saw Naofumi curled his lips indifferently and said: "So what, even if there are no cannons and heavy machine guns, I saw Naofumi can win the victory for the empire with just the bayonet in his hand. Fighting does not rely on weapons, but on the will of the soldiers." , The morale of our Imperial Japanese soldiers is strong, how dare the Qing army resist?"

"Your Majesty, what you said is true!" Xiao Zhengshuren agreed, then changed the topic and continued: "However, the lives of our Imperial Japanese soldiers are much more valuable than those of the Qing army. With these heavy weapons, Help, I believe it can reduce a lot of casualties.”

"Xiao Zhengjun, on the battlefield, there are no casualties, only victory or defeat. If we can win, even if I see Naofumi is broken, it will still be worth it." Immediately Naofumi picked up a cup of strong tea on the table and sipped it gently. He took a sip and said slowly.

Xiao Zhengshu's face straightened, and he said seriously: "Your Majesty taught me that I, Xiao Zhengshu, was too cautious."

Komasakihito was born in a Japanese military academy. As an academic, he had some disagreements with the practical school of Tatemi Naofumi. However, afterwards, most of them were Komasakihito's wrong views.

Seeing Naofumi, he nodded with satisfaction. As the chief of staff, he still had some strategies. If he trained him well, the empire would have another general who was good at fighting.

"By the way, your Excellency, the brigade commander, news came from the enemy that the Qing army in Dakaoling has changed its commander. The original commander Song Qing rushed to help Lushun, and Nie Shicheng of Gongziying was moved to the new commander." After a pause, Xiao Masakito continued.

"Nie Shicheng." He immediately saw Naofumi put down his tea cup and frowned slightly.

"Yes, Nie Shicheng caused a lot of trouble to our army in the Battle of Hushan. If it weren't for his strong resistance, our Imperial Japanese Army might have reached Liaoyang." Xiao Zhengshuren adjusted slightly Sit down to make yourself look more serious.

"Among the commanders of the Qing army, only Nie Shicheng has some talent. He has fought with our army many times, and his advance and retreat are measured. He should not be underestimated. However, since he met Naofumi Hashimi this time, he will definitely lose his life. Dakaoling, this will definitely be a big blow to the morale of the Qing army." There was a glint in Naofumi's eyes, which was his expression after meeting his opponent.

Nie Shicheng was good, but the army he commanded was diverse, and the soldiers could not work together as one. The so-called clever woman can't make a meal without rice, and defeating him was easy, Li Jian Shangwen thought in his heart.

Immediately seeing Naofumi and Komasakito thinking about their own thoughts, a Japanese soldier hurriedly walked in.

"Your Excellency the Major General, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, Artillery Battalion Staff Officer Ichiro Yanagi is outside the door asking for an audience!" The soldier closed his legs and raised his hands in a military salute before reporting loudly.

"Ichiro Yanaggi, could it be that the artillery brigade has arrived from Phoenix City!" Tachimi Naofumi murmured to himself and then asked: "Where is Saito Masaki? Why didn't he come?"

"Your Excellency, there is only Mr. Liuzhi, and his condition does not seem to be very good." The soldier quickly replied.

"Oh, let him in." Naofumi raised his hand and said.

"Tachimi-kun, something seems wrong. Last time there was news that the Qing prisoners in Phoenix City were resisting. Although Saito Masaki reported shortly after that the resistance had been suppressed, a small number of prisoners escaped from Phoenix City. Saito-kun In order to make up for his mistake, Yan himself led the army to pursue him, but this time only Ichiro Yanaggi came back to ask if there was something unexpected. "After the soldiers retreated, Komasakito reminded Naofumi immediately.

Immediately seeing Naofumi frowned in displeasure, he said, "The resistance of the captives in Phoenix City was due to Saito Masaki's carelessness. He must have escaped from being captured and did not dare to come to see me."

Saito Masaki only reported the prisoners' resistance, but he deliberately downplayed the bombing of the arsenal, hoping to wait until he had made up for it before reporting it together. From this, it was immediately apparent that Naofumi and the two still did not quite understand the whole ins and outs of the matter.

"What your Excellency the Brigade Commander said is true. When the artillery brigade joins our 10th Brigade, it will be much easier for our army to attack Dakaoling. By then, you will have made great contributions to our Empire of Japan." Xiao Zhengshuren nodded and said in agreement.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Yanagou Ichiro crawled into the room with a sad face and howled loudly.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, you must avenge Saito-kun. He was shattered for the Empire." After climbing in the door, Yanaggi Ichiro cried bitterly and kowtowed to the ground.

In order to show that he had gone through a desperate battle, he also made several small cuts on his face and body.

It was immediately apparent that Naofumi's temper was as great as his reputation. If he had known that Ichiro Yanaggi had sacrificed his soldiers and escaped on his own, he probably wouldn't have survived. Therefore, he had already arranged a confession with other soldiers on the way to escape.

"What? Saito Masaki's jade was broken into pieces, who killed him?" Komasa Shuto leaned forward slightly and asked urgently.

And immediately Naofumi's smile froze on his face, and then turned livid, and his face changed so quickly that it was staggering.

"Saito-kun led more than a hundred imperial warriors to chase the escaped prisoners. Unexpectedly, they were ambushed by most of the Qing army on the way. Saito-kun was shot to death. His subordinates desperately led the remaining imperial soldiers to escape. Encirclement, brigade commander, you want to avenge the dead imperial warriors." Yanagi Ichiro avoided the easy matter and emphasized that he and others were not ambushed by the prisoners, but by the majority of the Qing army. In this way, Only then could he be shied away from the responsibility of his dereliction of duty and escape.

Unlimited exaggeration of the enemy's strength and unlimited criticism of Saito Masaki's command errors are his only ways to save his life.

"Baga, you idiot!" Immediately seeing Naofumi angrily picked up the tea cup on the table and threw it on Yanagou Ichiro's head. Yanagou Ichiro's head was immediately bruised and bleeding, but he did not dare to stop kowtowing.
