Chapter 46: Etiquette (Seeking Support)

  The lieutenant somewhat looked down on Qingteng Yimutou's weakness and said disdainfully: "We haven't even launched an attack, how can you be so sure that we'll definitely lose? You're just giving up on the important strategic location of Yangcheng, what qualifications do you have to be a commander? Do you know the importance of the airport that has already been built in Yangcheng?"

  Facing the lieutenant's various questions, Qingteng Yimutu smiled wryly: "I'll answer your first question. We didn't even attack, and you ask if we attacked too many times? What about Yoshida's brigade? Over 2,000 people were wiped out. What about the Yangcheng siege battle? How many of our men died? The invaders will definitely be defeated, it just needs a process! We can't beat China!"

  "You... Green Bamboo, do you know what you're saying?" The lieutenant couldn't believe his eyes as he stared at this guy who was boosting the enemy's morale and undermining his own authority, and he was speechless. How could the Emperor have sent someone like him to be a commanding officer? He was actually speaking to the Chinese in their language! "Do you know that what you're saying is grounds for a military tribunal?"

  "Captain, don't point at me like that! If I hadn't ordered the people at the station to retreat, you probably wouldn't be seeing tonight's moon!" Qingteng Yimutu said anxiously, wondering what Shan Yixuan was going to do.

  "Hungry enough to die, old man! Why don't those pigs cook for us?" a devilish voice howled.

  Qingteng looked at the person who had been locked up here for a day, and hadn't even gotten any food. He couldn't help but curse in his heart: What is this bastard thinking?

  "Report, Colonel, our men are exhausted and starving, strongly demanding that the Chinese provide food!" A lieutenant ran to Qingteng Yimou's side and said. Qingteng Yimou nodded, sighed and said: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer!" After speaking, he looked at a guard and shouted loudly: "Can you help me call your master?" Qingteng Yimou said in fluent Chinese.

  The guard's brother turned around and asked: "What's going on?"

  "What about our meal?" Qingteng Yimutu asked in a low voice, completely gone was the temper of the previous Da Sao, the taste of being dependent on others made him feel extremely painful.

  "Wait!" The guard said something to one of his brothers beside him and another brother took over his work immediately.

  The brothers of the special forces team, apart from combat training, also undergo communication and transportation training. All members of the special forces team now use encrypted codes to communicate with Qinglong Village. Moreover, they have learned how to drive motorcycles and ride bicycles. From the moment they mastered these seemingly difficult skills, they felt proud and honored, very honored to be under Shan Yixuan's command.

  The guard ran to the control room and used the military radio of the original airport. After changing the cipher, he sent a message to Qinglongzhai.

  "Xuan Ge, brother from the airport sent a telegram." Xiao Feng walked up to Shan Yi Xuan with his Mauser 98K slung over his back.

  Shan Yixuan received the telegram: Brother Xuan, the devils are asking about food supplies, what should we do? Since there are many devils and we are busy with fighting and sentry duty, we have no time to take care of their food supply problems. Please instruct us, brother Xuan.

  Shan Yixuan looked around and said, "Brothers of the special forces team follow me, others go to sleep. Tonight's sentry duty will be doubled, brothers stay alert." Shan Yixuan felt that things had not been quite right these past few days, although Qingteng Yimu was already under his control. Still, he believed in being cautious and prepared for any situation.

  As soon as Shan Yixuan's voice fell, Liu San ran out. He went to start the car, the distance from the airport is not far, but also not close, running at least half an hour.

  Shan Yixuan smiled and led Lao San down the mountain. When they reached the bottom, Liu San's truck was parked steadily on the road. Shan Yixuan opened the car door, and after several brothers got in, Liu San stepped on the gas and sped towards the airport.

  "Hmph, a high-ranking officer like you is being treated as a lowly prisoner and not even given food to eat, all because of you!" The enraged lieutenant glared at Aoi Motofuji.

  Among thousands of people, only this lieutenant is accusing Qingteng Yimutu. In fact, many of the imprisoned people have seen the crazy side of Qinglongzhai, and when they recall it, they feel a chill down their backs. Secondly, these people are mostly Qingteng Yimutu's trusted followers, many of whom followed him from East Asia as comrades-in-arms. Their camaraderie runs deep, and they know Qingteng Yimutu's character - he would not abandon any of his own soldiers or let any of his people make unnecessary sacrifices.

  Qingteng was about to say something when the searchlight suddenly changed direction, moving from his body to the other side. A military truck stopped steadily on the airport runway. The special forces saw that it was one of their own and the searchlight returned to shine on the Japanese man's body.

  Shan Yixuan pouted and walked up to the Japanese man, among the 1,500 people, some squatting, some sitting, and others standing. The most eye-catching was the army badge of Aoki Kazuki. Shan Yixuan walked straight up to Aoki Kazuki and said in Japanese, "Aoki-san, are you hungry?"

  "Yes, my soldiers have been filling their stomachs with compressed biscuits for the past two days. Is this how you treat us?" Qingteng Yimut said somewhat angrily.

  Shan Yixuan suddenly remembered that they hadn't eaten for two days, no wonder, these two days have been busy with the aftermath of big brother's death, while also dealing with Zu Jianmin's affairs, so busy that he even forgot to feed this group of Japanese people. If it weren't for sending reports, wouldn't these people starve to death?

  "Oh, Qingmu, I'm really sorry. These past two days have been busy with Big Brother's affairs, and it's unavoidable that some things haven't been taken care of properly. Please forgive me." said Shan Yixuan calmly.

  "So what now?"

  "What did you used to eat?" Duan Yixuan looked at the 1,500 people in front of him. There was no decent cage to keep them in, and there would definitely be some who would fall through the net. Moreover, the number of people was too large, which really proved Zhao Wenzhong's words - eating was a problem. This wasn't a solution at all.

  "It used to be cooked by the kitchen staff!" Qingteng Yimut said, looking at Shan Yihuan.

  Shan Yixuan nodded and continued: "Then let your cooking class do it, where you did it before, now do it again. I heard that previously you brought more than 1,000 people from the headquarters to the airport, so I think food should not be a problem?"

  Shan Yixuan didn't want this guy to tell himself to go buy noodles and rice now... With over 1,500 people, they will eat him to death...

  "Yes, but can you really do that?" Qingteng Yimut looked at Shan Yixuan in disbelief, Shan Yixuan's familiarity was completely unlike the way he treated a prisoner.

  Shan Yixuan was taken aback, asking: "Why not? Of course, it's possible." While speaking, he thought to himself, I don't have that many people to cook for you, let alone those old masters under my command can't even boil water properly, how can they cook?

  As soon as Shan Yixuan finished speaking, Qingteng Yimu said: "Kitchen team, go cook!"

  Qingteng's words fell, and with a rustling sound, more than 20 people stood up from the crowd. Shan Yixuan was startled, and several brothers immediately loaded bullets into their guns. Shan Yixuan waved his hand to indicate that everything was okay... With 1,500 people eating, 20 people cooking should be enough... It's quite a lot of river crabs... Shan Yixuan thought to himself.

  Twenty people got up and ran towards the original kitchen. Shuang Yixuan looked at the distant figures of several people, Nan Nan said: "In the future, let them cook for you, there's nothing else, just use the radio to ask your headquarters, the oil and water for building the airport is quite a lot!" Shuang Yixuan twitched his mouth, this is a small treasury.

  "Aren't you afraid I'll call for backup on the radio?" Qingteng Yimut looked at Shan Yixuan with suspicion, unable to see through this young man in front of him.

  "Do you think I'm afraid? Since I was born, I really don't know what fear is! Believe it or not, I dare to let someone move you over here!" said Shan Yixuan with some irritation and anger, his icy voice causing Qingteng Yimu to involuntarily take a step back.

  "Hakka, you damn Chinese, come over here and try it if you dare!" The speaker was not Qingteng Yimutu, but the lieutenant beside him. The lieutenant couldn't stand Qingteng's cowardice and pointed at Shan Yixuan loudly.

  "Bang!" Xuan Yi Xuan punched the lieutenant's face, scolding in Japanese: "Bastard, can't you see I'm talking to your superior? No manners at all!"

  The lieutenant, clutching his bleeding nose, loudly roared and charged towards Shan Yixuan. Shan Yixuan shook his head helplessly, extremely disliking this unreasonable guy. The lieutenant rushed to Shan Yixuan's side, his right knee suddenly pressing down, if Shan Yixuan didn't dodge, this blow would directly shatter Shan Yixuan's ribs.

  Shan Yixuan let out a cold hum, flashed back and kicked the lieutenant's neck with one foot. With two crisp sounds of bone fracture, the lieutenant fell to the ground motionless.

  Everyone witnessed the moment when the lieutenant fell, and the cruel killing method made everyone involuntarily take a breath. They knew that the man in front of them was the legendary devil, a devil who killed without blinking, a cold-blooded killer.

  "Your soldier needs to be disciplined, daring to interrupt a superior's speech. Don't you teach him a lesson?" Shi Yixuan glanced at the lieutenant on the ground and said.

  "Now I'm a prisoner, what's the point of teaching others? As long as it's not too excessive, I won't even bother with him!" Qingteng let out a long sigh.

  Shan Yixuan was taken aback for a moment, then said: "Hey, you're really optimistic! Are you willing to join me?"

  "What?" Single Yixuan's words made him take a big surprise, and Qingteng Yimut looked at Single Yixuan with suspicious eyes, thinking he had misheard.

  Shan Yixuan nodded and said firmly: "Are you willing to follow me? I need manpower."

  "You don't care that I'm Japanese?" Qingteng Yimut asked Shan Yixuan with a probing tone.

  "Hehe, I told you, there are good people in Japan too. You can't generalize about everything. If you follow me, you're my person! I know it's uncomfortable to have a gun pointed at your own country. But is following an ignorant king and trampling on life what you want? Is your dream of joining the military to protect your home or to trample on others' territory?" In the face of Shan Yixuan's questioning, Qingteng Yimuo fell into deep thought.
