Seeing a general with Major General Venus standing in front of the queue and singing loudly, the female team members were in high spirits and the singing became louder. The female officer in charge of the command turned his head frequently and came one after another. More than a dozen officers stood beside Ritakanosuke and sang in unison.

The majestic singing came back in the hall, and on and off the stage, whether it was the officers who came to the stage or those who stayed in the role, including Yokoyama Mori Village, they were singing in unison.

The hall was filled with murderous aura, which made these young officers excited. A major suddenly stood up and shouted: "The Kanto Army is invincible in the world! We will definitely be able to defend Shanhaiguan and Manchuria!"

"For Your Majesty! For the Empire!" the priest raised his wine glass and howled.

In the hall, the officers of Mou raised their wine glasses, and only Rigaozuki and the others who came in had empty hands, which looked extremely eye-catching in the venue.

Morimura was extremely nervous. He secretly regretted that he shouldn't have proposed to have dinner, and he shouldn't have succumbed to the officers' club like this. The situation in the hall was a bit strange. Morimura had already seen some young officers' eyes rising. He was very worried that Ritakanosuke would do anything else, which would immediately cause conflict in the hall.

But Takanosuke did nothing. After the singing stopped, he walked straight to a banquet table in the hall, waved to call the shier over and ordered the meal, and sat quietly on the chair and waited.

If it weren't for the Venus on Yokoyama and Takanosuke's shoulders, the young Japanese officers would have already come to provoke him, but this good fortune would have been over soon.

The shimen just brought the food, and Ritakanosuke and others had just eaten a few bites. The two majors suddenly rushed over and asked loudly: "Major General, we didn't expect that you still have the face to come here to eat, and you can still eat it. It's shameless!"

"Bastard!" Tabag stopped doing it, and most of them stood up and scolded.

"Isn't that the case?" Yuguan asked with red eyes: "You have caused huge losses to the empire and have lost the most favorable weapon!" Tabata's lungs were so angry that he wanted to go up and slapped the two officers twice, but now he couldn't, so he could only glar at the two of them. Ritakanosuke still lowered his head to eat, as if he didn't see the tense atmosphere around him.

However, someone refused, and a captain rushed over to refute: "Nonsense! Major General Gao is one of the Gemini stars in the North China Expeditionary Army. In North China and on the Soviet battlefield, he has made great contributions to the empire!" "Gemini? What Gemini star, leaving hundreds of thousands of soldiers to escape, shameless!" The master was disdainful. In the Battle of North China, all the former Gemini stars of North China escaped successfully. The two of them were not punished, but also promoted to a more important position. This itself made these young and strong officers who were eager to be promoted feel jealous. After finally having a special train incident. Although the senior officials tried to conceal, the news still came out. The young and strong officers were secretly happy and seized the opportunity to show their performance.

"Bastard! Nonsense!" Tianbian retorted loudly: "General Li Gao was ordered to go to Tangshan!

It’s definitely not a escaping. The failure of the Battle of North China is Okamura’s responsibility! How can General Rigao be responsible for it!”

Okamura Yasuji defeated the Battle of North China and finally led more than 30,000 defenders in Peking to surrender. He quickly slid from the outstanding general of Japan to the shame of Japan. The domestic press started to criticize Okamura Yasuji. Some civil groups even went to Okamura Yasuji's home to scold Okamura's wife Kato. Kato committed suicide by septum.

"As the deputy chief of staff of the North China Expeditionary Force, is he not responsible?!" The master was still contemptuous, and he just came up to point at Li Gaozhi's helper and scolded him.

The captain was also a little moved. He seemed not worried about the military character he faced with was one level higher than his rank, and still retorted loudly: "When I was fighting against the Soviet Union, I used to fight under the command of General Li Gao. His loyalty to His Majesty and the Empire is unquestionable!"

The Grandpa seemed to be stuck, and Li Takanosuke played a huge role in the war against the Soviet Union. He also personally commanded the troops to participate in the Thousand Mile Assault and encircled the Soviet army retreating from Vladivostok. It was a difficult battle, especially through the forest and marching in the vast jungles in the Far East. The hardship can be imagined.

Even some division commanders were a little discouraged, but Li Takanosuke did not retreat and personally led the advance team to open the way before finally completing the task and annihilated the main force of the Soviet army in the Far East.

"Captain Naito, there is no need to mention the past." Ritakanosuke put down his chopsticks, sat in his seat without moving, and said slowly: "It is the duty of all imperial samurai to be loyal to His Majesty and to establish meritorious deeds for the Empire. We cannot hesitate at all about this."

"General, you still remember me.

"Nito was a little surprised. He was just a little lieutenant back then, and he was inconspicuous in the army. After so many years, Ritakanosuke still remembers him.

"Of course I remember that you brought seven soldiers to block more than 100 Russians, and the remaining two were still fighting until the main force arrived. How could I forget such a samurai?" A faint smile appeared on Ritaka Nosuke's face. When Neiteng tried his best to block the Soviet army, it was he who personally led the follow-up brigade to rescue Naito.

Ritakasuke continued: "I want to defend Commander Okamura. There must be unknown reasons for Commander Okamura to take such actions, so no matter what, Commander Okamura is still an outstanding leader in my mind. The outstanding generals in the Imperial Army are worthy of capture than many arrogant people.

Ritakanosuke publicly defended Okamura Yasuji, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Even Naito was stupid and Morimura was also stupid. He didn't know what Ritakanosuke was going to do. Defending Okamura Yasuki at this moment was like putting himself in a crater and being burned to ashes by these arrogant young officers.

Sure enough, the two majors immediately launched an attack. The major on the left sneered and said, "A coward is a coward. Now he finally showed his true face. He was just talking about the samurai's duty. Now he will defend a scum like Okamura, how could there be something like you in Japan?"

"You don't understand at all. Let's talk about the right and wrong in the future. Get out of here now and don't disturb me to eat." Ritakanosuke suddenly turned against him, giving the two officers no face.

The two majors' faces changed suddenly. They looked at each other and looked at Lieutenant General Yokoyama who was always silent next to him. They turned around and wanted to leave unwillingly. Ritakanosuke didn't want to let them go like this, and called them: "Just leave like this? The military etiquette is not needed?" Although Ritakanosuke was investigated, he still had the rank of major general, far higher than two majors. The two majors had to salute the three of them. When they walked back, they did not have the aggressive momentum they had just now.

The hall suddenly became quiet. Naito saluted Takanosuke and others and left. Ritakanosuke then smiled: "Okay, now we can enjoy our dinner quietly." Yokoyama was still very calm, Tanabe's face was still a little red, and Morimura was very helpless. His military rank was too low, and Ritakanosuke and others were not declared prisoners, so he had no choice but to look at Ritakanosuke and stir up the wind and rain. Looking at Ritakanosuke who lowered his head to eat, Morimura made up his mind and if someone came again, he would come forward to stop it.

But no one came next. After dinner, Ritakanosuke didn't leave, as if he was demonstrating to someone. He sat there leisurely and started drinking tea. Morimura frequently signaled to go back. Ritakanosuke just refused to leave. Yokoyama didn't know what idea he was going to do, so he stayed for tea, let alone Tanabe.

The tea, radiantakasuke sucked deeply, and then smiled comfortably: "Good tea, is this Jiangnan tea leaf?" "Yes, the famous Longjing in China." Tabaya replied.

"It's rare. It's really not easy to drink such good tea now." Ritakanosuke sighed a little: "I'm afraid we won't be able to drink it again in the future."

Morimura smiled reluctantly: "How could it be, General, Jiangnan is still in our hands, and such tea can be drunk even in China.

Ritakanosuke sarcastically said, "Thank you, after returning to China, I must go and look for it. Tanabe, what are you planning to do after returning to China?"

"Return to China?" Tabaya was stunned, then understood. He smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe back to his hometown or find something to do in Tokyo."

Tanabian is less than forty years old and obviously cannot retire. He was forced to retire. Although the retirement fee will not be deducted, it is not enough to support his retirement. They also know some of the situation in the country, and life is very difficult.

"Li Gaojun, what are your plans?" Hengshan also asked.

"If I don't send me to the military court, I will walk around after returning to China and see the situation in the country," Ritakasuke said lightly: "My situation is more complicated than you. It's not easy to find trouble for the time being. Anyway, the retirement fee is enough for me to spend two years.,

"Two years?" Tanabe was very keen and immediately grabbed what was hidden in Ritakano's help.

"Give up Manchuria" Ritakasuke's voice was a little louder: "The empire can support it for two years at most. After two years, I will be able to find a job freely." Tanabe was speechless and he understood what Ritakasuke meant. Ritakasuke was suspected of spying. Most of the factories that can still be started in China are related to military supplies. These factories cannot hire him. Ritakasuke can only live on retirement funds.

"Give up Manchuria, the Kanto Army should be able to defend North Korea." Tanabe looked at Ritakanosuke with expectations.

"No meaningless" Ritakasuke shook his head and said: "Give up Manchuria, not only Manchuria, but also Soviet Far East. The Soviet army and the Chinese army jointly attacked the Kwantung Army, and the Kwantung Army would face greater pressure. What's more, giving up Manchuria, giving up Manchuria's industry, and the resources here. Can North Korea replace it? Obviously not, the empire can only transport the South China Sea. This from South China Sea to the local area, the long transportation line will be attacked by the US Navy, and the Americans will also make full use of the Jiaodong Peninsula. Even if the submarine base is built in Qingdao, it is not impossible."

Morimura suddenly felt that it was inappropriate and abandoning Manchuria was a plan formulated by the military headquarters, but the plan had not been announced yet, so it was very inappropriate to just talk about it in public.

"General, please note that this is the top secret." Morimura looked serious.

Ritakanosuke was a little stunned and looked left and right. The officers on the two tables not far from them all raised their ears, obviously having heard their conversation clearly. He laughed in his heart. The fire had been removed and could not be burned, so he ignored it.
