Chapter 168 What Bird Medal
Chapter 168 What Bird Medal
Amid applause, Colonel Matsuzaki took the stage and delivered a speech. He first mourned the military police who died in this important arrest operation, and then awarded medals to more than a dozen meritorious people.
The medals awarded this time are all the Order of the Golden Chi. The Japanese are really weird, naming a medal after a bird.
Legend has it that when Emperor Jimmu was on the Eastern Expedition, a golden eagle stopped on his bow, confusing his opponents. This image was widely circulated, so when the medal for military merit was later formulated, this image was adopted.
There are seven levels of the Order of the Golden Kite. A total of 190,000 medals were awarded during the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and more than 620,000 medals were awarded during the Pacific War and the Southeast Asian War, so it is not very valuable.
After all, the Military Police Headquarters was only arresting a spy, not going to fight on the battlefield, so the others were awarded the lowest level of the Order of Merit Seven Gold Kite. Lin Ze and Gao Shengping finally went on stage alone, and Colonel Matsuzaki awarded them the Order of Merit Six Gold Kite.
They saluted each other first, then shook hands, and Gao Shengping gave a standard smile.
Colonel Matsuzaki was in a daze for a moment and twitched the corners of his mouth.
The whole place fell into silence.
Colonel Matsuzaki, who has always been suspected of having facial paralysis, can actually laugh!
Still smiling at Gao Sang!
No wonder Gao Sang has always been valued. Maybe he has some ulterior motive with Colonel Matsuzaki!
Only Lin Ze knew how lethal Lao Gao's standard smile was. Colonel Matsuzaki didn't just smile, but was flashed by Lao Gao's eight big yellow teeth. He didn't know what expression to make.
Later, more reporters came to interview, and Lin Ze insisted that Gao Shengping be interviewed alone. There was also a reporter next to him taking pictures with a camera.
Kitahara Ransuke smiled and said to Lin Ze: "Lin-san is still so humble that he doesn't even want to be interviewed with his boss."
Lin Ze said seriously, "Because I really don't deserve it. The reason why this operation was successful is because of your proper command, Kitahara-kun. I just did my best according to your requirements, but I was awarded such an honor. I am really flattered. In fact, you are the one who should be commended the most!"
Kitahara Ransuke laughed heartily, full of vigor and enthusiasm. "Lin-san, you are too modest, but don't worry, the headquarters has given me another commendation. No matter how well I command, it is inseparable from everyone's loyal execution. The shot you fired was very crucial!"
In fact, Lin Ze just didn't want to be photographed. Although the only people who had seen his appearance in the training class were a dozen or so classmates and people like Teacher Zhuang, it was still better to be careful. These days, you never know who can betray you.
After Lao Gao finished the interview, Kitahara Ransuke called them over.
"Gao-san, Lin-san, please come to my office. There is one more thing I need from you."
The two followed Kitahara Ransuke to the office.
In the auditorium, Ersong Dacheng was reluctant to leave for a long time.
His heart was broken when he saw Lin Ze being awarded the Order of Merit Six Golden Kestrel on the stage!
At this moment, he kicked the chair next to him again and again, "Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka!"
The staff member who managed the auditorium came in and asked in confusion, "Captain Nisong, are you okay?"
Ersong Dacheng looked up to the sky and roared: "I'm fine!!!"
.........
In Kitahara Ransuke's office.
Lin Ze and Gao Shengping stood in front of the desk. Kitahara Ranjie sat down and drank a sip of tea. "Gao-san, Lin-san, congratulations again on being awarded the medal. I hope this precious Sixth Order of Merit can inspire you to continue to work harder for our cause!"
"Hayi!"
"Hayi!"
Kitahara Ransuke nodded, "Very good, I have received a very important mission. Nisong Daisei has not been in a good condition recently, and I hope you two can help me. From now on, every word I say is top secret, and you are not allowed to leak any information!"
Gao Shengping and Lin Ze were both extremely serious.
Lin Ze thought, what big deal is this?
Judging from Kitahara Ransuke's expression, this matter should be as important as arresting Schaffer.
Kitahara Ransuke lowered his voice and said, "In two weeks, an important person will pass through Peiping and head south to replace Lieutenant General Nishio Toshizo as the commander of the Second Army. The North China Front Army will solemnly entertain this important person in Peiping and hold a banquet. We are not responsible for the personal security of this important person. The North China Front Army will personally allocate troops to provide security for him. General Terauchi Hisaichi will also be present in person. However, we need to ensure the safety of the periphery of the banquet venue and conduct security checks on the guests attending the banquet. No one with potential risks can be allowed to enter the banquet venue."
Will the North China Front Army allocate troops to provide security?
Why do we still need to hold this banquet?
Isn't it safest not to do it?
This person's background is too great. I'm afraid he is more than just the incoming commander of the Second Army.
The commander of the Second Army should be a major general, or at most a lieutenant general. You have to know that Terauchi Hisaichi of the North China Front Army has the rank of general. Why would he go to so much trouble to entertain someone with a lower rank than himself?
Kitahara Ransuke said, "There is a problem now. If we continue to use the Six Nations Hotel for the banquet, I am worried that it will attract attention. After all, before the banquet begins, we may have to seal off the hotel and not allow them to receive any new guests. Then we have to conduct a comprehensive security inspection of the hotel. In this case, it will be difficult not to attract the attention of those with ulterior motives."
Lin Ze first looked at Gao Shengping, but Gao Shengping thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any solution.
Lin Ze said softly, "Mr. Beiyuan, I think that no matter how careful we are, it is impossible for such a large event not to attract attention. I think we can do this. We can select three hotels, such as the Six Nations Hotel, the Peking Hotel, and the Oriental Hotel, and conduct the same level of security inspections to confuse possible enemies. Until the banquet begins, we will not notify the specific hotel where it will be held, nor will we send out invitations. All guests will be picked up and dropped off by us. What do you think?"
Gao Shengping couldn't help but sigh that Shengmin's brain was really useful!
Kitahara Ransuke's eyes lit up, "Great! Lin-san, although your method will consume a lot of manpower and resources, it is undoubtedly the most suitable for us. Don't worry about not having enough manpower. Colonel Matsuzaki has already issued an order. From now on, all the military police in our headquarters will focus on this matter. We can mobilize almost all the manpower."
Lin Ze thought to himself, who on earth could this person be that could make the Japanese in Peking so nervous?
Gao Shengping originally wanted to talk about recruiting beggars to set up a training class for reserve police officers, but Lin Ze gave him a look, indicating that it was not appropriate to talk about this at this time, so Gao Shengping shut up.
He trusted Lin Ze's judgment very much and thought it would be right to listen to this little brother.
