Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

"I see, are you the people Tomura-kun introduced to me? You are indeed a talented person."

Wearing a shit-green military uniform, Keisaburo Hatue held a Japanese sword with a five-pointed star in his hand and greeted three young men at the wooden gate of his house.

The Sino-Japanese War was about to break out. After accepting the conscription order and returning to his hometown, he realized that it would be difficult for Japan to win in this military operation called glory but actually an invasion, so he couldn't wait to seek help from his old friend Tomimura, and was introduced to the young people.

The three of them jumped out of the army car they were borrowing, and saw Takuzo Takuzo nodding towards the soldiers who were flattering him, and then looked at the three of them up and down.

"It seems that you have gotten to know each other on the journey. Please come to the reception room with me."

The four of them walked along the wooden path and admired the man-made scenery in the yard. They sat down in a room with little decoration and got straight to the point. Keisaburo Hatue immediately recognized the person according to his friend's description.

"This young man seems to be very unaccustomed to the Japanese sitting posture. The frightened deer I saw in my yard just now is also very strange. He must be Arimura Toya-kun, whose father came back from abroad for business and grew up in the United States. ”

"As expected of Mr. Tomie, Mr. Tomimura said that you have very strong observation skills." Arimura immediately relaxed after getting permission from the other party to sit cross-legged if he was not used to it.

"This young man in kimono, I heard from Mr. Tomimura that one of his students was a noble son from a samurai family. The sword you carry on your belt is far better than the one I have in my hand. It must be Mr. Tachibana Hachiro. ”

Of course, Tachibana Hachiro's kimono is relatively simple, and his clogs and accessories can show that he has some time. Keisaburo Hatie also knows that this family is just a nobleman who has fallen into disgrace, and only communicates with him as a descendant.

"As for this one, Mr. Tomimura often wrote to me about a student who gave him a headache, but he was extremely smart. An ancestor in my family was a juggler who performed for His Majesty the Emperor. You must be Arisada Kuroba."

Kuroba, who was dressed in a suit, kept smiling, holding up the tea in front of him and sipping slowly, until Keisaburo Hatue made his personal identity clear before saying: "Our family has not performed for the emperor for a long time."

"Really? That's such a pity." Keisaburo Hatsue glanced at the three people in front of him and explained: "I asked Tomimura-kun how to make the family go further in the war, but he entrusted it to three people. So, What are the different opinions of the three?"

"Needless to say, if you want to take the family a step further at this time, of course you have to let all the men in the family join the army."

As expected, Tachibana Hachiro said something that made the other two people frown. In fact, they had heard Tachibana Hachiro's radical remarks many times on the way here, and they did not take the words of the down-and-out nobleman seriously.

This man is eager to bring his family back to its peak, and naturally regards following the emperor as his goal. Arimura, who grew up in the United States, and Kuroba, who has studied abroad, both think that it is the most ridiculous thing in this era to have a country controlled by the emperor. thing.

"It would be too dehumanizing to use the war against China as the basis for the family's rise."

Arimura did not speak directly about the unwinnable war, because in the national frenzy, even an American citizen did not dare to say so, lest he die mysteriously the next day.

Kuroba touched the table, and then suggested with some confidence that Keisaburo Hatie be transferred from the army to business.

"With Mr. Futsue alone in the army, the family cannot prosper. However, starting business in Hakodate with the power of the army will definitely be safer than relying on killing people."

Keisaburo Hatie stroked his beard and said oh, without saying who he agreed with, but in the eyes of the latter two, Tachibana Hachiro must have been eliminated.

After just taking a sip of tea, Keisaburo Hatsue knocked on the tea table and called the girl named Riko Hatsue to enter the tea room.

The three of them turned to look at the sliding door in confusion. Through the paper window, a thin figure was reflected on the door, and the sliding door was slowly opened. Black Feather only saw a young girl with childishly combed hair. She lowered her head, but when she raised her head, she saw a girl with tender white skin and plum-red lips.

"This is my only daughter, my name is Riko." Keisaburo Hatue grinned at the three people in front of him: "Actually, I told Tomimura that the best way to carry forward the family is to marry a smart son-in-law. He recommended you three to me.”

"Teacher Tomimura mentioned this before coming here, but we are not here for Miss Riko."

Tachibana Hachiro only glanced at Riko Hatsue and did not raise his eyes again. Instead, he lowered his head to Keisaburo Hatsue and asked: "I hope to follow Mr. Hatsue to fight in China. It is my dream to contribute to the empire."

"Of course no problem."

Keisaburo Hatie then asked his servants to take Hachiro Tachibana to the guest room, leaving Arimura and Kuroba behind to reveal his plan.

"In order to trigger the start of the Asian war, the United States sells weapons to China, and is preparing to sell something to China and Japan at the same time that can change the situation of the war in an instant."

Seeing both of them staring at him in surprise, Keisaburo Hatue coughed and said: "This thing will be shipped to two countries in the fifth year after the war starts. If it is China, it will be Shanghai, and Japan will be Tokyo, but no matter where it is, it will be shipped to two countries." The place you have to go through is Hakodate.”

"From the beginning of a full-scale war, five years is enough time to determine the winner. If Japan is going to win, sell to China. If China is going to win, sell to Japan. This is to prevent the war from ending easily."

Kuroba looked at Axie Keisaburo: "Then why did you tell such a confidential thing."

The man in front of him stroked his beard and put forward an incredible idea.

"I think, leave this thing in Hakodate, and keep it in my hands."

He narrowed his eyes: "Such a thing, if it is hidden for decades and then sold, it must be very valuable."

"How can you be sure that we will help you." Arimura's eyes flashed with disgust, as if he looked down on people like Axie.

"Of course it's because you have to help me..." (End of this chapter)
