Chapter 099: Treating guests to dinner with knowledge

I'm going to Sanjiang. Please help me to vote at Sanjiang Pavilion. I'm very grateful.

In previous communication with Ken Tsukamoto, Mu Yang tried his best to constantly calculate how he should answer in his mind, how to avoid some content he didn't know, and also make appropriate expressions and actions in time to express his emotions.

Mu Yang felt that his acting skills could probably reach the level of an actor.

When communicating with Ken Tsukamoto, Mu Yang asked some small questions from time to time after answering a few questions at the beginning. They were definitely those that were not confidential but were close to the topic. He was not just to know something, but to create topics.

From the beginning of Mu Yang's initiative to communicate with Tsukamoto Ken to the end of the equal dialogue between the two, these are the effects Mu Yang strives to create. If he is always in the position of being asked, Tsukamoto Ken will inevitably ask some questions that Mu Yang doesn't know, and at that time, he will likely show some flaws. Mu Yang takes advantage of the opportunity of communication to gradually introduce the problem to the direction he wants to move forward, drive the topic, and put himself in a position of equal communication with the other party, making the other party embarrassed to ask some harsh questions to divert the danger.

Finally, Mu Yang strongly invited Ken Tsukamoto because Ken Tsukamoto was a person with real power in the General Staff Headquarters. Only good friends with him were not bad. Moreover, Mu Yang also hoped to understand some of the situations in the General Staff Headquarters through Ken Tsukamoto. In fact, even Ken Tsukamoto did not agree to Mu Yang's invitation in the end, it didn't matter. Mu Yang expressed his intention to be close. As long as he was not a person with a weird personality, he would have a good impression of Mu Yang and could lay a good foundation for his future behavior.

You should know that the head of the General Staff is actually a considerable official position. The head of the General Staff is on par with the Army Head of the Army Head of the Army. According to Mu Yang's own understanding, the head of the section should be equivalent to the level of the director below the minister. After the Lugou Bridge Incident, Tanaka Shinichi, the head of the Military Section of the Army Province, and Muto Akira Muto decided to send three divisions to reinforce. The next day, Lu Prime Minister Sugiyama Moto approved the reinforcement plan. Tojo Hideki also served as the head of the General Staff Head of the Office.

Therefore, the head of the section chief is actually a position that can do things and has real power. According to the practice of the General Staff Head Office, the head of the section chief is generally the head of the Chief of the Section Chief, and the class leader is generally the head of the Chief of the Section Chief, and the class leader is generally the head of the Chief of the Section Chief, and the class leader is generally the head of the Chief of the Section Chief. Mu Yang guessed that this time, it was not, but Etushima was transferred back this time, and he should be the position of the head of the General Staff Head Office.

In the evening, Muyang invited Tsukamoto Ken and his party to the best restaurant in nearby Longyin Restaurant.

"Leader Tsukamoto, I don't know what dishes you like to eat?" Mu Yang asked.

"Eto-kun is from Kyoto, I am from Osaka." Ken Tsukamoto said with a smile.

Mu Yang showed a sudden expression and said, "It turns out that the head of Tsukamoto is from Osaka, so we must arrange Kansai cuisine today. What do you think, Chief Tsukamoto?"

There are many ways to divide Japanese cuisine, such as Honcho, Kaiseki and Chef cuisine. But if divided according to the region, it must be divided into Kanto and Kansai cuisine. Kyoto and Osaka are both representative areas of Kansai cuisine, so Muyang has this statement.

Ken Tsukamoto nodded and said, "I haven't returned to my hometown for a long time. I really miss the taste of my hometown. I hope he can make authentic Kansai cuisine here."

"I heard that the chefs here are chefs invited from all over the world. They respect the original flavor of the local cuisine. They probably can make the taste of Osaka."

"I hope so, by the way, Eto-kun, I'll introduce these people to you." Ken Tsukamoto introduced the people he brought to Mu Yang at this time.

Then Mu Yang followed the introduction of Tsukamoto Ken and learned that the four people brought by Tsukamoto Ken were the general affairs class, the telegraph class, the chief planner, and the military medical officer. Mu Yang greeted each other one by one.

Japan's hierarchy concept is so strict. If Tsukamoto Ken brings people, if Tsukamoto Ken doesn't take the initiative to introduce them, Mu Yang will not ask directly.

Ken Tsukamoto is the host and guest, and Mu Yang is the host. When the two were chatting, the section chiefs did not interrupt, but just listened quietly. Sometimes when Ken Tsukamoto talked about happy places, the few people would laugh together and say wonderful places, and would echo a few accompanimental words expressing surprise. Fortunately, Mu Yang is the host, otherwise this meal might not be too depressed.

Tatami, long wine table, and the dishes are very rich. Muyang is willing to spend money in this regard. The sliding door was opened again, and a group of girls in kimono walked in. There were five men here, one of them arranged one by one, responsible for pouring wine and cloth dishes to serve the guests. Of course, the main job was to please these men.

A geisha with white face, red lips and deep eyeliner walked in with a sanqin, bowed and started to perform for the guests.

After drinking a few cups of sake, the atmosphere gradually became stronger. After drinking a few cups of sake, Ken Tsukamoto's impression of Mu Yang became a little better.

"Teacher Tsukamoto is busy with work and I feel very fortunate to have time to accept my invitation. I will give you a glass of honor," Mu Yang said with a glass of wine.

Ken Tsukamoto smiled and said, "Eto Kwan, you are kind, and Eto Kwan's arrangements are very good today. We want to say thank you. Come and raise our glasses together."

Everyone responded and killed the wine in the glass.

Mu Yang slanted his body toward Ken Tsukamoto and whispered: "Leader Tsukamoto, I don't know what I do, how will I deal with it."

Ken Tsukamoto looked at Mu Yang with deep meaning, and then said, "If you fail to perform your mission according to the military regulations, you will be punished. However, your mission this time is a bit special. You were transferred back to the General Staff Headquarters, but because you were on the way, you accepted the task of escorting Chinese antiques back to Tokyo. This task was issued by the Army Department, which is a bit unruly."

"Besides, the main escort officer of this transportation mission is Takeo Yamada. You are just a role similar to helping, and it is indeed a bit unfair."

"The matter has been found out this time. It was done by the Americans. Now the Imperial Navy is powerless to fight again. The Navy Base Camp is powerless to them. How can you put the responsibility for the failure of the mission on your head? Please wait for a few days, and there will be news."

Mu Yang cooperated very well and showed a little joyful expression, saying, "Then I would like to ask the postmaster Tsukamoto to say more good words to me."

Ken Tsukamoto smiled, "I will naturally react in a realistic way. After all, our staff members cannot be punished for the mission of the Army Department, so where can we put our staff members' faces?"

The conflict between the Army Department and the General Staff Headquarters has been around for a long time. To put it bluntly, it is a struggle of power. Originally, the General Staff Headquarters was a subordinate unit of the Army Department, but it was eventually divided and then overwhelmed the momentum of the Army Department. The General Staff became the main steward of the General Staff Headquarters, leaving only the work of doing odd jobs.

There is a very special phenomenon in the Japanese army. If the person sent by the General Staff Headquarters to inspect, even a colonel, a major general or even a lieutenant general in the combat troops would greet him with a smile, for fear that he would be dismantled by the General Staff Headquarters after he returned.
