Volume 2: Crisis Acceptance Chapter 22 You're More Formidable Than Before
After finishing his homework, the man left. Mieko didn't say anything, just thinking about why she had started this war after the Battle of Kawanakajima.
When the sky brightened, Kawahara had not returned. And Motoko had to get up and plan a new day's training program. Even if the training program was already planned, she didn't dare oversleep, this was the most basic requirement for every special agent. Because every minute or even second of indulgence and delay could lead to the end of one's own life and cause losses to the Empire.
According to the instructions of the superior, once the wireless radio enters a silent state, it means that he is not convenient to contact Mei Zhizi or has an extremely important task and must send someone to meet her. Therefore, the newly configured German advanced radio station of the Crow Team was personally kept by her.
It's been four days since the wireless telegraph has been in a state of silence. From this, Moe predicts that the top-secret mission that Ue had previously revealed to her would be issued soon, and perhaps by the time she finishes using the restroom, she would have to leave Crow Team and bid farewell to her beloved Kawaraji Ira.
For several days, Yoshiko had been thinking of doing two things that would take care of both her public and private life. She had already accomplished the private matter satisfactorily. Although Kawaki's rough and wild behavior made her feel like she was being treated as a beast of burden, she had willingly played the role of a woman this time, which was fundamentally different from being with big bosses like Itami, Ban, and Shinoda.
What's called official business is also related to Chuanji. Since he took over the management of this crow team, he had to get on his horse and see him off for a while.
Although Mei Zhīzi has not been in charge of the team for long, she is familiar with the family background, origin, and personal strengths and weaknesses of most team members. The Red Crow and Yellow Crow are both talented and bold, although they are both as stubborn as a donkey. However, the Red Crow is straightforward by nature, while the Yellow Crow is quick-witted and easy-going. As long as Mei Zhīzi can win them over, it won't be difficult to manage them. She firmly believes that Chuan Qi can do this.
Tian Chuankang and Yu Qigui are both under 20 years old. As soon as they graduated from school, they went to China and entered the special agent training base in Fengtian. Before joining the Black Crow team, Yu Qigui had been a servant soldier under Itagaki for a period of time. Due to their special family background, especially the favoritism shown by General Itagaki, Yu Qigui is mischievous and Tian Chuankang blindly follows along. However, after all, they are still young and inexperienced soldiers, so they won't cause much trouble.
What really worried Miiko was Tsuchiya Motoyama, a son of a Hokkaido fishing family with two protruding teeth, always looking gloomy. Perhaps it was to remind himself not to forget to cover his teeth with thick lips all the time. Therefore, he was taciturn and couldn't say anything. It is said that this person has a bad habit of liking "horse mouth fish", which makes people think about it and get goosebumps all over their body. Those sneaky eyes would make you feel cold all over if they stared at you for just one second.
Tsuchiya's background is extremely mysterious, personally recommended by General Matsui Iwane, Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese North China Front Army to the big boss, and is an "alien" in the entire Crow Corps. Therefore, a group of people from the Imperial Japanese Kwantung Army and the Itagaki Division naturally isolated him, which may be one of the reasons why Tsuchiya was taciturn.
Of course, Meizi is more worried that Heiwa and Kawaji are in cahoots. This little girl has a big personality, and soon after starting work at the Datong Club, she got "Shinro 3rd" into bed and obtained several key secrets of the Shanxi Army.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, it is the fixed time for the Crow Team to gather on time and start their summer training mission. No matter if it's a hot summer or a cold winter, or even if it's windy or rainy, they must persist, unwavering like thunder.
At 5:50, all the Crow Corps members were lined up and ready, except for Bai Ya who was still nowhere to be seen. The team members discussed among themselves, wondering if this person was afraid of hardship or worried that he couldn't control the team, so he escaped under the cover of night?
"Don't whisper to each other!" Meiko shouted, and everyone fell silent. She became even more anxious instead.
Mei thought, the ravens' discussion wasn't unreasonable. Perhaps Kawahime had deliberately used a battle to gain her trust, and then took advantage of her being immersed in unparalleled happiness and off guard to make a run for it?
As she thought about it, Mieko suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. She paced back and forth on the grass of the training ground, her eyes scanning all directions, occasionally pulling out her pocket watch to check the time.
"Attention! Right face, forward march."
Mei Zhi was hopeless and shouted orders with a heart like a knife, while Chuan Qi rushed out like a dog and ran to Hong Ya's side.
As she watched the cavalry arrive, Mieko's neck stiffened, a warm current flowed from her chest to her throat, and into her nostrils, choking out tears. She pulled out a white handkerchief and dabbed at her eyes, waiting for her neck to soften before starting roll call.
I thought Kawahashi would be listless due to last night's labor and lack of sleep, but his answer was loud and clear, making Mochizuki extremely satisfied and happy. However, Tsurugisanbon was unusually distracted, only lifting her drooping head when she was asked for the second time, lazily giving a response.
After the roll call, Mieko began to arrange training subjects. In normal order, it should start with Shirasagi. But she skipped Kawaritsuki and directly arranged Aka Washi Kōryaku, other team members also received training tasks such as sumo wrestling, judo, taekwondo, and single and double pole killing.
The crow team members went about their business, while Chuan Qi was left cooling off over there.
"Report to Black Team, give the deputy team leader a training task." Chuan Qi thought Meizhi was going to punish himself, so he took the initiative to ask for punishment.
Meizhi didn't respond, her two beautiful eyes stared at Kawaji, motionless.
"Report to Black Team, what subject am I training in?" Kawahara realized from the unfriendly gaze of Mochizuki that he was going to be tested again and asked once more.
"The training mission of the White Crow is..." Mei Chizuko said, intentionally pausing and leaving a cliffhanger for Kawahime.
"Please give the black team training tasks!" The two legs of the cavalry were closed together, standing like a pine tree, wanting to salute Moe Tomoko with a standard military salute, but because of nervousness, the gesture of raising his hand was quite like surrendering.
Mizuko looked at Kawaki's disheveled appearance and thought of the man who was like a wolf last night, suddenly wanting to laugh, but restrained herself.
When Kawaki asked for training tasks again, Mochizuki couldn't bear to let him go on pitifully and said, "The training task of Shirahae is doing push-ups."
After hearing this, Kawakita thought that this was a trivial matter that couldn't even be entrusted to the Japanese military police for training, so how could it be left to a special agent?
"Kaneki hasn't done push-ups in six years. So last night, he couldn't even do push-ups and went straight to the parallel bars. He needs to make up for this lesson." said Michiko directly.
Although Kawaki was reluctant, he saw that Mieko was very serious and had a determined look on her face. He reluctantly accepted the training task and asked, "How many should I do?"
"Every year 365, in six years a total of 2,190."
Kawaki silently endured her harsh treatment, starting to train on the ground. When he was drenched in sweat, Mochizuki walked over, bent down, and pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe the sweat off his forehead, saying: "Dear, you're much more capable than before!"
