Bright Sword: I have a system for exchanging points for killing enemies

Chapter 354: Murakuchi-kun, I really want to improve

“Muraguchi-kun, as long as you and Qingquan-kun can help me successfully get promoted to colonel, I will be willing to give you protection after I become the wing commander!
If there is a chance, if it is possible, I will let Qingquan-kun become the deputy commander and Muraguchi-kun become the chief of staff!
Kiyozumi-kun, Murakuchi-kun... I know you people from Osaka love money.

As long as I can successfully serve as the regiment commander, I will find a way to transfer you to my regiment, and then garrison the county town... At that time, as long as you don't resell the imperial army's supplies and don't do things too excessively, you can do whatever you want.

I will take care of everything for you!"

Heishan Xiongben really wanted to get promoted, he was even crazy about it.

After he imagined that Murakuchi Saburo really understood the situation, he directly wrote a bunch of blank checks to Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyozumi Kiichi.

That's right, a blank check.

The price offered by Kuroiyama Kumamoto is based on the premise that he, Kuroiyama Kumamoto, can be successfully promoted to colonel and serve as the wing commander.

Otherwise, the benefits offered by Kuroyama Kumamoto to Kiyozumi Kiichi and Murakuchi Saburo would not be fulfilled at all.

However, facing Murakuchi Saburo, Kurosan Kumaben did not dare to think of using Kiyozumi Muichi as a white glove as he did at the beginning.

After all, Murakuchi Saburo's background is there, and he is an excellent student at Kyoto University.

He used Murakuchi Saburo as a white glove. If he failed to kill Murakuchi Saburo, then the one who would be unlucky would be Kurosan Kumamoto himself.

After all, Kuroyama Kumamoto still had the idea in his heart that he would be noticed by the top leaders... and then see if he could become a general.

If he used Murakuchi Saburo as a white glove, and Murakuchi Saburo told his classmates about this, then who among the higher-ups would still be interested in a guy like Kurosan Kumamoto?
If you can even betray the people who help you, who knows if you will betray the people behind your back in the future?
Who would dare to employ such a person?
It is said that Kuroyama Kumamoto is not very smart, but he can also consider the situation behind Murakuchi Saburo and think of Murakuchi Saburo's connections.

Although it is said that Kuroyama Kumamoto has a good brain, he fails to consider the situation behind Kiyozumi Muichi.

He could think of not using Murakuchi Saburo as a white glove. If something happened to Murakuchi Saburo because of him, Kuroiyama Kumamoto, then he, Kuroiyama Kumamoto would definitely not be better off.

But Kuroyama Kumamoto just couldn't understand that if he killed Kiyozumi Kiichi and Murakuchi Saburo, two guys from the Osaka Division, then it would not be a question of whether he would live a good life or not, but a question of how he died.

The Osaka Division will never let Kuroiyama Kumamoto go. Even if he really becomes a colonel and a regiment commander, the Osaka Division will still kill him.

Otherwise, if other people follow suit and target the people who go out of the Osaka Division, will the morale of the Osaka Division be lost?
If the commander of the Osaka Division dared not intervene in this matter to avenge Kiyozumi Kiichi or Murakuchi Saburo, then the next morning the commander would be shot five times and commit suicide in the command center.

At noon the next day, the troops of the Osaka Division had to surround the headquarters with their weapons.

The Osaka Division is really capable of doing something like this.

Because this involves the interests of all Osaka people.

If those who left the Osaka Division were framed and killed by others, and the Osaka Division did not care, what would happen when they left the Osaka Division and joined other units?
Will he be framed and killed by someone else?

I have to say that Kuroyama Kumamoto's brain is really weird...

“This Kuroyama Kumamoto… knowing that we are from Osaka, why did he write us a bad check?!”

Listening to what Kuroyama Kumamoto said, Murakuchi Saburo looked at Kuroyama Kumamoto with disbelief.

Saburo Murakuchi was not shocked by the conditions given in Kurosan Kumamoto's words.

It was purely because of the fact that Kumamoto Kuroiyama dared to write them a blank check even though he knew that he and Kiyozumi Kiichi were from Osaka.

Even Saburo Murakuchi began to wonder if there was something wrong with Kurosan Kumamoto's brain?

Doesn't he know what Osaka people are like?
Writing a bad check to a businessman who is good at business is like going to the toilet with a lantern!
When it comes to writing bad checks, the people of Osaka have already done a lot of tricks with it.

With just these little tricks, Kuroyama Kumamoto still wants to write a blank check to Murakuchi Saburo?

How much do you look down on the abilities of Murakuchi Saburo?

Although he scoffed at Kuroiyama Kumamoto's words in his heart, Murakuchi Saburo did not reveal what he was thinking.

After making a reasonable expression of shock, Saburo Murakuchi lowered his head and leaned towards Kurosan Kumamoto.

When Kuroyama Kumamoto saw Murakuchi Saburo approaching him with his head down, he immediately understood what Murakuchi Saburo meant and quickly made the same move.

Seeing that Kuroiyama Kumamoto was also moving towards him, Murakuchi Saburo pretended to be mysterious and whispered to Kuroiyama Kumamoto.

“Heishan-kun…this matter is confidential…this promotion plan is confidential and is being carried out in secret.

Although I don't know how Qingquan-kun knew about it.

But what I can be sure of is that the number of people who know about this matter, the number of people who can openly know about this matter, is definitely no more than ten!

Even I...Kuroyama-kun, there are some things that cannot be said."

Seeing that Murakuchi Saburo was so reluctant to reveal the promotion plan, Kurosan Kumamoto was anxious, but he also became more convinced that Murakuchi Saburo must know a lot of information.

Even knows a lot of confidential information!
"Murakou-kun, tell me, please tell me! Murakou-kun, just tell me what you want me to pay. As long as I can afford it, I will give it to you.

Money, or something else?"

The black bear was really angry. He started to use a respectful tone when facing Murakuchi Saburo. Then he quickly turned around and took out another box.

Kumamoto opened the box, revealing the neatly arranged gold bars inside.

"Muraguchi-kun, here are twenty gold bars in total. They are given to you as a gift for taking office.

As long as you can tell me everything you know, I will be willing to give you another twenty gold bars!"

When Kumamoto Kumamoto looked at the gold bars in front of him, he felt as if someone had cut off a piece of his flesh.

In order to obtain information about Murakuchi Saburo, Heishan Xiongben really spent a lot of money. He directly took out one third of the money he earned in Ping'an County and gave it to Murakuchi Saburo.

Murakuchi Saburo took a look at the gold bar handed over by Kurosan Kumamoto, and saw that it was full of small yellow croakers, and the quality did not seem to be very good, so he cursed with disdain in his heart.

"Damn it, is such confidential information worth just this little money?!

The amount of gold bars I send to those higher-ups is more than this number, and the amount of gold bars that Qingquan Muyi gives me is more than this number... This guy Heishan Kumamoto resold so many supplies in Ping'an County.

He also swallowed up the military pay of the Imperial Army and earned at least four hundred small yellow croakers.

In the end, they only gave me twenty, and they were of such poor quality. Did they look down on me?"

Looking at the gold bars handed over by Kurosan Kumamoto, Murakuchi Saburo had the same thoughts as Kiyozumi Kiichi.

They all thought that Kumamoto looked down on them.

Twenty small yellow croakers would be a huge fortune for others, but for Murakuchi Saburo, it was not enough.

If he just made some effort, he could get so many gold bars by making a barreled artillery piece like the Imperial Army's mountain cannon and selling it to the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, it can only be sold at this price if it is equipped with artillery shells.

And Saburo Murakuchi was the middleman between the officers from Osaka and the Eighth Route Army, and he even acted as an intermediary.

He had no idea how many gold bars he had earned, and tens of thousands of gold bars had passed through his hands.

Therefore, it would be strange if Murakuchi Saburo was interested in the mere twenty gold bars given to him by Kurosan Kumamoto.

But even if you don't like it, you still have to act well.

“Kuroyama-kun, why are you so obsessed with getting promoted?

With all due respect, you are now a lieutenant colonel and have been a lieutenant colonel for many years.

Your ability may be good enough for the rank of colonel, but you have not been promoted in all these years. It is obvious that you, Kurosan-kun, have no connections behind you.

And last time, because you were not paying attention, Fu'an County was occupied by the Eighth Route Army.

Although the loss of Fu'an County has little impact on us, after all, Fu'an County is just a small county town and not a strategic location.

But this is still your fault, Mr. Heishan.

As far as I know, if it weren't for the fact that Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu ignored the dissuasion of Commander Yoshio Shinozuka in Shangdang.

The insistence on sending an officer observation group to the Shangdang area resulted in the killing of so many mid-level officers.

As many as five colonels were killed.

Coupled with subsequent internal investigations and some people's command errors, the army was short of mid-level officers and it was necessary to promote some lieutenant colonels to colonels.

Otherwise, given your situation, Mr. Heishan, it would be impossible for you to be included in the promotion list.

But this is just being included in the promotion list... As far as I know, Mr. Heishan, you yourself have not had any outstanding performance.

Excuse me for being blunt, but it is basically impossible for you, Mr. Heishan, to become a colonel.

This time you were included in the promotion list more for the sake of fairness and to make up the numbers.

Eventually, Mr. Heishan, you will be transferred to North China to serve as the commander of a new county.

Oh, he is very likely to go to the northwest of Shanxi to serve as the commander of Shenchi County...he is Qingquanjun's former superior.

Because of the last incident, Qingquanjun’s superior was also affected and had to retire early.

Many people were also transferred out of the squadron.

If Heishanjun performs well by then, he should be appointed as chief of staff or deputy commander of a wing.

Mr. Heishan... To be honest, it is indeed quite difficult for you to be promoted from lieutenant colonel to colonel, especially if you want to become a colonel in this promotion plan.

Even for me, even if I don't have the identity of an Osaka native, it would be very difficult to become a colonel.

I can't even guarantee that I can become a colonel smoothly.

Mr. Kurosama, I graduated from Kyoto University, and later served in the Kwantung Army for a period of time. I did not directly join the Osaka Division.

So the impact of my Osaka identity is not very serious for me.

As long as I am willing, it won't be difficult for me to be promoted to lieutenant colonel.

But I want to become colonel in this promotion plan... I'm not sure at all.

Mr. Heishan, even though I have such a wide network of contacts, and even the family of one of my friends holds an important position in the military...but under this circumstance, I cannot guarantee that I can be promoted smoothly.

Not to mention you, Mr. Heishan, who has no background at all.

Mr. Heishan, can you tell me why you are so persistent in getting promoted to colonel?
In my opinion, since you can take out so many gold bars, you must be a person who loves money.

Since Heishanjun likes money, but has no hope of promotion, why doesn't Heishanjun give up the promotion and devote himself to making money?

I think that with Lieutenant Colonel Heishan-kun's status, if he is assigned to be the commander of a county, it would be easy for him to earn hundreds of these gold bars a year."

Murakuchi Saburo pretended not to know why Kuroiyama Kumamoto wanted a promotion so much and why he didn't try to make money like them when there was no hope of promotion, and asked Kuroiyama Kumamoto.

From time to time, he also showed that with his status and abilities, he could not be promoted to colonel smoothly, let alone a guy like Kurosama Kumamoto who had no connections or background at all.

What he said implicitly was telling Kurosan Kumamoto that this promotion plan was very complicated, and that the other lieutenant colonels on the promotion list were all very capable people with good backgrounds.

You, Kuroyama Kumamoto, are just a runner-up. There is no need to spend so much effort studying for promotion.

Instead of worrying about whether you can get a promotion, you might as well think about how you can make more money.

There's no need to waste your time there.

After listening to what Murakuchi Saburo said, Kuroyama Kumamoto became excited.

"Muraguchi-kun, I know you must know a lot of information, so please tell me the information.

Me, I really want to be a colonel.

Murakuchi-kun, I really want to make progress.

As long as I become a colonel, I will have a slim chance of entering the sight of the upper echelons.

If I could seize that chance, maybe I could cross the class barrier with my family and become the noble class of the empire instead of being a commoner like we are now.

Mr. Murakuchi, I'm getting old. If I don't seize this opportunity, I will never be able to get promoted in my life.

There will never be another chance to enter the powerful class in this life.

Murakuchi-kun, I am not like you Osaka people. You Osaka people are all businessmen and have money... But I am just a commoner and my father is just an ordinary elementary school teacher... Life is very difficult.

I can become a lieutenant colonel, the difficulty in the process... I really don't want my descendants to risk their lives on this. "
