A week later, after dealing with family affairs, Zhou Ke bid farewell to Shimazu Nobuyoshi and Shimazu Chinobu and went to Kanoya Base near Kagoshima.

The soldiers and officers assigned by the Navy Department have already arrived. Although their total strength is less than that of a brigade, this brigade, which is composed of the best players drawn from various Marine Corps, is already considered to be very powerful!

"Senior Yamamoto, I am honored to meet you before I go abroad! Please give me your guidance!"

In a high-end restaurant at the Kanoya base, Zhou Kan saw Admiral Shichihachi Yamamoto, the current commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet and the planner of the Battle of Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Midway!

"Haha, Shimazu-kun, it's not really about giving me advice, we're all working for the empire!" Yamamoto Nanaichirohachi responded with a smile and raised his glass.

But don't be fooled by Yamamoto Nanaji's smiling face at this time. In fact, he is very disdainful of Zhou Ke, a kid from a big family who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Although he also worshipped the Shimazu family, he was fundamentally different from his adoptive brother Yamamoto Sanjuhachi. Yamamoto Nanabichi's achievements today were basically based on his own strength, step by step.

His elder brother, Yamamoto Sanjuhachi, directly clung to Shimazu Chinobu, so Yamamoto Nanaichiba never had much affection for young men like Zhou Ke who stole high positions. The only reason they met now was to save face for the Shimazu family.

"Senior Yamamoto, I've heard General Yamamoto Sanjuhachi mention you often before. I also like your motto 'Either win big or lose big' very much." Zhou Ke continued with a smile.

He remembered that according to later records, the life of the general before him was full of gambler's tendencies. He was once refused entry to the Monaco Casino because of his superb gambling skills. Later, he showed strong gambler habits in many tactics.

"Oh? Shimazu-kun also likes to gamble?" Yamamoto Nanabichi became interested instantly when he heard Zhou Ke's words, and took out a coin from his pocket with his left hand.

"Of course, but I prefer playing Landlord!" Zhou Ke answered as he looked at Yamamoto Nanabichi's left hand which had only three fingers left.

Yamamoto Nanajirohachi lost two fingers in his early years due to the Russo-Japanese War, and even had a nickname that was ridiculed by others, "Eighty Cents".

(In his early years, Yamamoto Shichihachi liked to go to brothels. At that time, geishas in brothels would charge people according to the number of fingers when trimming their nails. One finger cost 10 cents, and ten fingers cost exactly one dollar. But Yamamoto Shichihachi only had eight fingers, so his colleagues gave him a nickname: "Ba Chien Qian", which showed their ridicule for his going to brothels.)

"Fight the Landlord? What is that?" Yamamoto Nanaichiba asked with great interest. It was the first time he had heard of the name Fight the Landlord, so he couldn't help but become curious.

"It's just a way of playing poker, very simple but very interesting!" Zhou Ke didn't say much. After all, although the rules of Landlord are simple, it still takes some time to introduce them.

"Poker? I like it too, but there is only one coin here today, so why don't we have a bet!" Yamamoto Nanabichi said while showing the coin in his hand.

"What is Senior Yamamoto going to bet on?" Zhou Ke also became interested. Not everyone can participate in the gambling game initiated by the historical figure Yamamoto Shichibashi.

"Let's bet on the heads or tails of this coin. As for the stakes, if I win, you tell me how to play 'Fight the Landlord'."

"If I lose, I will give you the highest authority over the Kanoya base. Of course, you still have to teach me how to play 'Dou Dizhu'." Yamamoto Nanaichiba said.

Yamamoto Shichirohachi had already received a notice to cooperate in building the Tiger Guard Division's logistics base. However, after a meeting, the leadership of the Kanoya Base had some disagreements on how to cooperate.

The first is the conservative view. They think that when the logistics base is being built, if there is any need, they can always contact the Kanoya base for approval. Although this method is complicated, it is not easy to cause trouble.

The second option is to directly let Zhou Ke be in charge of the Luwu base to a certain extent. This will be more efficient and more trouble-free, but it also has certain risks.

Until today when Zhou Ke came to the Kanoya base, the two opinions still could not reach a consensus. Now Yamamoto Nanaichiba thought that since they could not reach a consensus, he might as well let the coin decide!

"Then let's make it like this, Senior Yamamoto. I'll bet on the side with the numbers!"

Because Zhou Ke only saw the side with the number, in order to prevent both sides of the coin from being the same, Zhou Ke simply bet on the side with the number.

"Okay! Then I'll start tossing the coin!" Yamamoto Nanaba flicked the coin up with one hand, and the coin rotated in the air and landed on the table, and it actually started to spin.

Soon, the coin stood on the table and slowly stopped. Then the coin fell down, revealing the side with the number!

"Thank you for your kindness, senior!" Zhou Ke said with a smile.

"You are really lucky. Based on my experience, I thought the side with the number would be facing down!"

Yamamoto Nana-ba was a little surprised but didn't take it seriously. What he didn't know was that there was a very tiny sugar grain near the coin. And this sugar grain was the product of Zhou Ke's space.

Ten minutes later, after Zhou Ke finished explaining the rules of three-person and four-person Landlord games to Yamamoto Qichengba, Yamamoto Qichengba, who did not have much to do at the moment, invited Zhou Ke to the chess and card room.

Then Yamamoto Shichiba, his assistant, Zhou Ke and No. 3, all turned a deaf ear to the outside world and focused on playing Landlord. After playing for a full hour and a half, Yamamoto Fifty-six had an urgent matter to deal with personally, so the game had to end hastily.

"Mr. Hyakutake, we will be neighbors from now on, so we should visit each other more often!" Zhou Ke said with a smile to Yamamoto Shichiba's assistant, Major General Hyakutake.

"Hey, Commander Shimazu, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Just now, regarding the aviation cadets that General Yamamoto promised you, could you please leave some for us?"

Major General Baiwu had a bitter look on his face at this moment. Just now when Zhou Ke was playing cards, he said that he was short of pilots, and then Yamamoto Shichiba promised that he would give Zhou Ke three pilots who were about to graduate for every game he won.

Later, because Zhou Ke and No. 3 had such good luck, even though Yamamoto Shichiba and Major General Baiwu had good card skills and cooperated very well, they still lost more than 50 pilots.

"Alas, the weather doesn't seem very good. It looks like it's going to rain soon! Baiwu-kun, I'll take my leave now!"

Zhou looked at the clear sky dotted with a few floating clouds, muttered something, and without waiting for Major General Baiwu to say anything else, he got into the car that came to pick him up and left the Kanoya base in a flash.
