"What a great victory, Jinpei!" Commander Matsudaira praised excitedly as he looked at the report submitted by his nephew.

In Zhou Ke's report, a total of 217 people were annihilated as well as the cooperative forces that sympathized with the resistance forces. In fact, the number was not that large.

However, on the way back to Shanghai, they encountered a small group of puppet soldiers who were escorting the guerrillas to the city to report their achievements. As expected, these puppet soldiers were captured by Hengshan Taijun and his men.

As for the guerrillas, what guerrillas? I have never seen any of them! How can the Matsuda Military Police Regiment, the unit in charge of military discipline, deceive people?

"Commander, it's a pity this time. I didn't expect that the village with so many people was so vulnerable. More than a thousand people actually ran away!" Zhou Ke said with some regret.

"Lieutenant Colonel Matsuda, don't be so modest. Didn't you completely destroy the stronghold of the resistance forces? Your contribution this time is unquestionable!" Major General Takeuchi praised.

Ever since Zhou Ke's nominal grandfather, Matsudaira Tadahiro, sent him a telegram, he no longer simply regards Zhou Ke as his junior, but truly regards Zhou Ke as the future leader of the White Tigers.

"Takeuchi-kun is right, Zhen Ping, you have really made a great contribution this time. It just so happens that I haven't made any achievements since I came to Shanghai, but I didn't expect that I would benefit from you!"

The more Matsudaira Jiayuan looked at his nephew, the more he liked him. When he fell asleep, his nephew handed him a pillow. Next time he mentioned promoting his nephew to colonel, he believed it would be a piece of cake.

"Commander, I think that since Lieutenant Colonel Matsuda has made such great contributions, it shows that he is capable enough to be the commander of a regiment. It would be inappropriate to give him the rank of Lieutenant Colonel at this time," Major General Tokugawa suggested.

"Yuichi, is this appropriate?" Although Matsudaira Yoshien was asking Tokugawa Yuichi, his eyes were actually scanning the other generals in the meeting room.

"It's appropriate, Your Excellency the Commander. It's absolutely appropriate!"

"Yes, a capable person like Lieutenant Colonel Matsuda should not be constrained by age!"

"That's right, we can first promote Lieutenant Colonel Matsuda to Colonel and then slowly hone his skills!"

The office is full of smart people, and Zhou Ke's action this time really gave face to their gendarmerie commander at this difficult time.

There is really no reason to disagree with the promotion of this young man who has both background and ability! What's more, he is only a colonel, not a general.

"Okay, since you all have no objection, then it's decided! Also, I remember that before Zhen Ping's team set out, they borrowed people from you to form a staff team."

"Who are they? Give me another copy of the list! They have made an indispensable contribution to the success of this operation!" After Matsudaira Jiaen finished speaking, the atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became much more lively than before.

Who doesn't have one or two reserve or confidants waiting for promotion? Although the military merit this time is not great, the rank of the person they reported is unlikely to be promoted. But if this military merit is recorded now, it will be much more convenient in the future.

Everyone had no objections now. Even those people who had just supported him verbally but felt that Zhou Ke was promoted too quickly now felt that there was nothing wrong with their commander's arrangement.

.........

"Zhenping, you won't blame your uncle for sharing some of your credit with you, right?" After the meeting, Matsudaira Jiayuan took Zhou Ke to the commander's residence for lunch.

"Uncle, I can't wait to support you. After all, the more stable you are in the headquarters, the more comfortable I will be."

Zhou Ke's main purpose in this operation was to help Yokoyama Isamu and Mao Li Hiromoto get promoted. It didn't matter whether he got promoted or not. As for Shimizu Nobu, he was just a worker.

"Very good, Zhen Ping, keep your calm and modest character. But this time I asked you to come to dinner because I wanted to give you a reminder."

Matsudaira Jiayuan glanced at Zhou Ke approvingly and continued, "Your uncle Shimazu Chinobu may want to see you soon. He doesn't tell the truth, so don't trust him easily."

Listening to the instructions of his uncle, the commander, Zhou Ke nodded in agreement. It is definitely not possible to sit on the fence. His current foundation is in the army, and the White Tiger Team given by his grandfather is also based in the army, so it is impossible for him to develop in the navy.

But the relationship with the navy cannot be abandoned just like that, and the connection with my uncle must be established. After all, it might be used someday, and the aircraft carrier in my space and the ships that I might get in the future still need someone to operate them.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ke suddenly had an idea. It seemed that the army also had aircraft carriers. He remembered that from the information he had seen in his previous life, the Sakura Army had also built aircraft carriers, and even in the later stages of the war, they had converted transport ships into aircraft carriers.

Zhou Ke felt that he had to find an opportunity to verify this matter. If conditions permit, he could recruit some talents in this area in advance in case of emergency.

"Sign in!" On the way out of the gendarmerie headquarters, Zhou Ke started signing in.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Snow Wind Destroyer' and its supporting equipment."

Looking at the legendary ship that he had seen countless times in the information in his previous life, Zhou Ke couldn't help but sit up straight.

The 'Yukikaze destroyer' is the 2th ship of the Kagero-class destroyer among the Type A destroyers built by Sakura in the S8 season. After the end of the season, it was incorporated into the Republic of China Navy and renamed the 'Danyang destroyer'.

The reason why Zhou Ke was so impressed was that it was the only destroyer of the same class that survived until the end of S2 season. The high dodge rate and teammate-killing attribute of this ship allowed it to survive battle after battle and was talked about by later generations.

After leaving the headquarters, Zhou Ke, who remembered that Nanzhao Yunzi was still in the hospital, went to visit her with some nutritional supplements. Nanzhao Yunzi didn't seem to have a serious problem, but she couldn't be discharged from the hospital for a while.

"Dear, you must keep an eye on No. 76. The local intelligence consultant who will replace Sakata-kun will probably need some time to adapt. And those Chinese always make me feel uneasy." Nanzō Yunko said with some concern.

Recently, although Ding Mocun and others came to the hospital to report to her almost every day, Nan Zao Yunzi's woman's intuition made her feel that this group of Chinese people were somewhat perfunctory.

"Yunzi, don't worry too much. Even if I'm not often at No. 76, I'll arrange for Yokoyama-kun to keep an eye on it."

Zhou Kexin said that Nan Zao Yunzi was right. Once this woman was discharged from the hospital, it would be difficult to completely correct the unhealthy trends in No. 76 unless she was dealt with ruthlessly for a period of time.
