Japan, Tokyo, General Staff Headquarters.

In an office east of the second floor of the General Staff Headquarters building, a brand new sign marked with a special high school class had just hung outside. Okamura Nishi followed the officers led to the General Staff Headquarters, walked through the corridor and went upstairs, then walked into the room, turned the entrance hall, and looked up and saw that his direct chief was waiting. The person sitting behind the desk wearing a major general's uniform and pretending to read a document in his hand was Fang Zida's old acquaintance, an old friend of the Chinese people - Ichiro Fujita.

"Your Excellency! Okamura is ordered to report!"

"Haha! It's Okamura-kun. It's been a long time since I haven't seen you. Have you been here? Come on, sit here..." Fujita Ichiro put down the documents in his hand. When he saw Okamura Nishiji standing in front of him, he was extremely enthusiastic. Not only did he stand up quickly, he also came out of the back of the table with a smile on his face and greeted him a few words. Then he asked Okamura Nishiji to sit down on the sofa beside him and brewed tea for him personally.

Back then, Ichiro Fujita was in a state of great success in China. While he had a private engagement with Fang Zida to make a fortune for himself, the intelligence work was also very exciting. Who would have thought that one day he was suddenly transferred back to the country and threw it into a corner where the army department was not shitty and idle. Although his military rank was promoted to Zhongzuo, no matter whether it was power or oil, it could hardly be compared with before. Thinking of this tragic day that even drinking a bottle of red wine or smoking a cigar, Ichiro Fujita couldn't help but cry secretly. Fortunately, all this passed quickly.

Instructing the idiots in the military headquarters and the blessing of the Chinese, Ichiro Fujita served as a liaison officer between the army and the navy during the Jiaodong Battle of Kanto Prefecture, because he had done intelligence work in China, and "stand up" in the situation of the imperial army in crisis, shouldering the heavy responsibility and risking the risk of going to Beijing to be responsible for the truce. Through his "unremitting efforts" and "effective talents", he did something that no one could do in adversity - completing the truce consultation.

Due to the great contribution of Ichiro Fujita in this incident, the signing of the Sino-Japanese armistice agreement was later saved, thus saving the lives of a large number of soldiers struggling on the brink of life and death. Since then, he was commended by the Emperor after returning to China. He was valued by the General Staff Headquarters for his outstanding intelligence ability. He was promoted to a major general in a short time, thus gradually moving from an intermediate officer to a general rank.

"Your Excellency, haha..." After becoming a general, I saw that every time I walked in the main building, others respectfully in front of me and claimed that he was yours. Fujita Ichiro felt as happy as drinking honey.

He was just an ordinary person. His ancestors have never been a Chinese, and they don’t even have the status of a samurai. They are completely grassroots. By chance, they climbed to the high position of the general before they were forty, making Fujita Ichiro famous both in the General Staff Headquarters and the entire sea. Even many young officers worship Fujita Ichiro as an idol and regard him as the well-deserved youth pillar in the army.

Looking back, I will look at Okamura Yasuji, an outstanding young officer who took over the position of Ichiro Fujita, has been lucky over the years. Not only has his work in China not been well developed, but also, shortly after he took over Ichiro Fujita, the unexpected death of Kenji Doihara and others. Then, because he made the Chinese intelligence network a mess, he was impeached by his former deputy Kobayashi. In the end, he was driven back to Japan in shame and continued to do the promising work of his war history researcher.

Over the years, Okamura Yasuji has gained nothing, as if he has been forgotten by the upper class. Fujita Ichiro has become a general, and he is still just a master. He goes to work and gets off work every day like a puppet, burying his head in the vast pile of old papers to do his research on his war history.

Although the status of the two sides is now very different. However, neither Fujita Ichiro nor Okamura Nishiji seemed to put the difference in military rank first. Fujita Ichiro took Okamura Nishiji to talk about everything, and Okamura Nishiji was neither arrogant nor humble and talked with him.

"Okamura, I want to ask something today." After saying nonsense, Ichiro Fujita smiled and stepped on the topic.

"Please give instructions, Okamura listen." Okamura Yasuji replied with a humility and a serious expression.

"I was a colleague with Okamura. Although we worked together for a short time, Okamura left a deep impression on me." Fujita Ichiro's eyes seemed to have traveled through time and space, and returned to the time when the two sides handed over in China, he sighed with emotion.

"Compared with you, Okamura is really ashamed..." Okamura Yasuji lowered his head slightly and replied.

"Haha, I can't say that." Fujita Ichiro waved his hand and smiled, "The situation was a bit complicated at that time. Not to mention Okamura, I'm afraid I'll have to be in a mess. It's not easy to be able to escape without any hesitation."

I don’t know if it’s a praising or a demotion, but Fujita Ichiro said this meaningfully. Okamura Yasuji’s expression did not become ashamed, and he couldn’t tell whether he was happy or angry.

After a pause and drinking a sip of tea, Ichiro Fujita continued: "A few days ago, the General Staff Headquarters ordered the establishment of the Special High School Course. The main function of the Special High School Course is to be responsible for intelligence work and to deal with special incidents at home and abroad. Although the Special High School Course is temporarily established within the General Staff Headquarters, the actual superior is the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is directly responsible to the Emperor and the Prime Minister. But Fujita, I am not talented and was appointed as the first person in charge of the Special High School Course. I think Okamura-kun had already seen the sign outside when he entered the door just now, right?"

"Yes, it is worthy of your reputation as the leader of the Special High School. Okamura congratulates you here." Okamura Nishi smiled slightly and apologized to Ichiro Fujita.

"Haha, everyone works for the empire and serves for His Majesty the Emperor..." Fujita Ichiro said a few polite words in a modest manner, then changed the subject and looked at Okamura Natsuji and said, "The special high school course has just been established. Many institutions have just been set up. I am very lacking in talents like Okamura Jun. I wonder if Okamura Jun would like to work in the special high school course?"

Okamura's eyebrows moved slightly. In fact, before Fujita Ichiro said this, he vaguely guessed the other party's intention, but when he heard the words from Fujita Ichiro's mouth with his own ears, his heart still jumped a lot.

It is impossible to say that he is not moved. In recent years, Okamura Nishi's life has not been good at all. Don't look at him busy in the pile of old papers every day, he is actually very depressed. Okamura Nishi always thought that he was a genius soldier and military strategist, a staff officer, and he had a high opinion of himself. Since Lu Shi graduated, he has also gone faster and farther than his classmates in his career. According to his original idea, he could reach the position of colonel in less than a few years, and then cross the general.

The ranks of the school have become the "General" respected by everyone. However, this wish was shattered because of a trip to China. After returning to Japan, Okamura Nishiji was idle. He has been standing still for the past few days and has no chance of rising again. Sometimes, Okamura Nishiji, who was completely indifferent, even wondered whether he would quit his military position and go to the university to find a job as a history teacher. Perhaps he is not suitable for working in the army at all.

Opportunities fell from the sky without warning. As a military history researcher, Okamura Yasuji, a researcher in military history, certainly knew that the importance of Okamura was better than ordinary soldiers. Although Okamura Yasuji looked down on Ichiro Fujita in his heart, he always felt that he had his current status by luck and opportunity, but it cannot be denied that now Fujita Ichiro takes the initiative to invite himself to join the Ichiro Fujita, which is a rare opportunity for Okamura Yasuji today.

"Your Excellency, what do you need me to do?" After thinking silently, Okamura Yasuji did not directly answer the agreement or rejection, but instead tried in another way.

"According to the work direction of the special high school course, I hope Okamura-kun goes to Kanto Prefecture to be responsible for the special high school courses there."

"Kanto Prefecture? Is it...China?" Okamura Yasuji asked hesitantly.

"Haha, as for how to understand it, it's Okamura Kwan's business. Judging from the geographical location of Kanto Prefecture, northeastern China is an inevitable goal, and haha..." Fujita Ichiro smiled and pointed upwards. Okamura Nishiji immediately reacted, and the other party was also referring to Russia.

Without answering immediately, Okamura Yasuji thought quietly, and Fujita Ichiro did not urge him, sitting beside him and drinking tea leisurely.

After a long time, Okamura Yasuji asked again: "What kind of rights can you give me? Or how can you support my work?"

"The highest right of the Special High School in Kanto Prefecture is that you have the right to recruit people you think are reliable to join, investigate everything you think needs to investigate, and do not need to go through the Governor and the garrison of Kanto Prefecture, and directly take responsibility to me! At the same time, you also have the right to handle officers below the generals of the garrison. Of course, these must be registered with the Special High School headquarters. As for other people outside your authority, you can take action after obtaining approval from the Headquarters."

The bargaining chips given by Fujita Ichiro is almost equivalent to handing over all the intelligence networks in the Kanto Prefecture area to Okamura Nishiji, and giving him a high degree of freedom, which is exactly the last thing that touched Okamura Nishiji.

Now, Okamura Yanji finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath and stood up, bowing deeply to Fujita Ichiro: "Your Excellency! Please give me some advice!"

Fujita Ichiro calmed down the smile on his face and replied with a serious expression: "So... Okamura-kun, please!"

"Hi!"
