The Last Mecha

Chapter 143 Fusang
The sky is bright and the sun is like a knife.

The Fuso boy with blood on his hands walked through several streets, and he landed in an inconspicuous Japanese-style building.

After passing through the hallway, there is a large room with a wooden floor, and young people with bamboo knives face each other, which looks like a dojo.

"came back?"

The voice of smoking and drinking comes from a man standing against the wall. He is dressed in a monochrome jet-black feather woven with a solemn atmosphere. He holds a dark red sheathed samurai sword under his palm under his palm. Fee's black leather gloves.

Kunihiko Kobayashi, the president of the Fuso Martial Arts Association's summer branch, his status is actually not very high-level, but due to certain current situational factors, this position is often equivalent to a springboard, and the person who assumes the position will often be dismissed after three to seven years. Transferred to the Navy Ministry as a senior post.

The last incumbent was his elder brother, Kobayashi Nakamichi, who is currently the chief of staff of the Fuso Naval Ministry.

This family has been entrenched in the Fusang military headquarters since their father's generation, and their words carry considerable weight.

In Jiangsong, Fusang is not the main sphere of influence of Fusang, and here they do not even have a nominal concession. affairs.

"I made my identity clear. Now Jiang Mulin is facing a situation where he can't beat me. He will be very embarrassed if his opponent can't beat me."

Yamazaki Ryuichi said that, with a respectful expression and a cautious tone, compared with the frivolous young man in the martial arts hall just now, he seemed to be different from the same person.

"I see."

Kobayashi Kunihiko nodded lightly.

Seeing the other party's reaction like this, Long Yi seemed a little embarrassed, "Is it because I didn't do well enough?"

"No, you've done a good job. You've lost Jiang Mulin's face, and some of his attention is better than nothing."

"Then when can I go back to Fusang and work for the martial arts association or the military?"

"we'll see."

"Mr. Xiao Lin!" Long Yi's voice suddenly raised, attracting the attention of the entire dojo, and then he realized it, lowered his head and coughed, "I'm sorry, but I really... really want to know... my ability"

"Your ability is outstanding, and the Jiying Club has been watching it since you were a child."

Kobayashi Kunihiko stared into his eyes with a hint of regret in his tone.

"Under normal circumstances, you will enter a famous gymnasium to study before you are six years old, and you will be able to pass it on within ten years if you get a license. At the same time, the specialists from the Academy will tailor a plan for you to improve your energy level. Class teacher, I entered the Imperial Military Academy at the age of 16. After graduation, I went to summer or Koli Island for several years of experience. When I returned, I had already become a star in the eyes of the military. As for whether to enter the command system or the combat system, it depends entirely on your personal preference, but—— "

"Just because my mother is a Xia?" Yamazaki Ryu widened his eyes, "I have worked so hard, and I am not far behind the guys from the San Daochang. I have proved my loyalty to the family and the empire so many times. Still useless? Still need you to put one hand on the hilt every time you see me?"

"As long as there is a crack on a piece of glass, the risk of breaking it will always be there. The so-called loyalty can be verified [-] times, but there is no guarantee that there will be no problem the [-]th time. Your father also broke his promotion because of Ms. Chen." Lu, if it wasn't for that woman, he might be a general now. Your level of excellence is exactly the same as that of him back then, but there is no way. In sensitive times, human relations and qualifications are no bigger than national strategies."

Kobayashi Kunihiko's voice sounded gentle at first, but actually there was no trace of emotion.

"The guarantee I can give is that you can return to the motherland after winning the six competitions, and live on as a proud Fusang person, but for the important positions in the military department, martial arts association, gymnasium, and academy, I think that within 30 years you will No chance."

The young man looked at the young man in front of him, with fire-like emotions rolling in his eyes.

"Since I was born, I haven't had a good face even once. Those famous orthodox families pointed at my nose and scolded me, surrounded me in a corner, each punched and kicked. I endured it and practiced hard with the unknown master. , until no one dares to point fingers at me—"

"But I knew in my heart that they were just afraid of me, not respecting me, never! When I was 15 years old, I won the first place in the martial arts competition. I raised my arms and shouted, but suddenly found that those guys on the high stage didn't even look at me."

"I was thrown to Xiaguo. Apart from letters from my father and grandmother, I had no contact with Fusang. I stayed there for three years. Now I am eighteen, and everyone in my family is enjoying college life. And I, Don't even know who I am!"

Kunihiko Kobayashi listened quietly, just listening, without showing any similar emotions in his dark eyes.

"I can understand your feelings." He said, looking up at his watch, "Well, let me say a few words for you in China. Maybe some universities are willing to accept you, but the major and field you are most interested in The subjects are probably difficult—or, if you are really unsatisfied, Xia Guo may be a place that is more suitable for you. They are still in their infancy. "

"That's not the case!" Long Yi interrupted him again, with an agitated tone, "I've done so much, but I just want to admit that I was born in Edo and grew up there! I'm a proud Fusang person, it's you Said!"

"I'm also a clear-headed adult, I hope so, that's why I'm willing to take the time to listen to you so much, don't talk about fairness in front of me." Kobayashi Kunihiko's cold voice was like a hammer, hitting Long Yi's heart The knocking stopped, "The things that can't be helped are the things that can't be helped. If you complain to me, nothing will change. If you really have that determination, make things more beautiful, so beautiful that those who think you are a thorn in the side , I have to applaud you too."

"For example——take Jiang Mulin's head." He smiled cruelly, and glanced at his watch again, "I should go, and I am sorry for you by chatting with you. It is still the same sentence. By the way, I will speak for you, but how much weight these words can have is up to you."

He disappeared at the end of the porch in an instant, and the generous back gradually shrank in the eyes of the dragon until he disappeared.

As Long Yi watched, his two limp and drooping arms tensed for a moment, and his veins swelled.

On the tatami, the wide-faced short-leg table is filled with fresh dishes, bacon, tempura, and sukiyaki. The geisha in kimono plays the piano with both hands, and the patterns of large groups of peonies and lilies fall to the ground along the wide skirt .

"You're late, Mr. Xiaolin." said the person behind the curtain.

"My fault." Bang Yan leaned forward, "I was confused for a while, and I heard someone nagging."

"Who?"

"An insignificant nuisance that served no purpose other than to drag his father into the water, and was not worth mentioning on the table."

"Then let's talk about the business. Jiang Song has a lot of troubles with glass seeds and memory cores. Breton alone is very difficult to deal with, and the Xia people have noticed it to some extent. Otherwise, Jiang Mulin wouldn't have come in such a hurry."

"I know that in Jiangsongli now, the military department only cares about two things. I just want to ask, if you can accept it, how big is the incident?"

"Of course, the smaller the better, if the ceiling is capped, don't let the situation become so rigid that war may be declared."

"What kind of ending can the military accept as the bottom line? I know this is a bit discouraging, but people's eyes can't just look at the ceiling, everything must be considered carefully."

"What we can't get, we can't give it to others no matter what. This is the bottom line. Everything is based on the interests of the Empire and the Ministry of the Navy."

"Understood, just leave the rest to me."

"Very good, there is an old saying in the Xia Kingdom, 'Strategy, decisive victory', I like wise generals like Mr. Xiaolin."

"Cheers, toast tomorrow."

"Tomorrow."
