Spy Wars: I signed in at the Military Police at the beginning

After dealing with the Imperial Education issue, Zhou Ke started infrastructure construction in the northern part of Yingzhou. At the same time, the Tiger Guard Division began to recruit reservists from the entire Yingzhou region to strengthen the number of troops.

Under the temptation of high salary, high treatment and high security, a large number of overseas Chinese and indigenous people were willingly pulled away by Zhou Ke and became members of the Tiger Guard Division Army Branch.

However, Zhou Ke's behavior did not last long. When the number of recruits just reached 10,000, the recruiting officers of the Tiger Guard Division who went to recruit were persuaded to return.

"Sir, the recruitment is not going smoothly. Currently all the recruiting officers sent out have been persuaded to return!" Tanegashima Kenji, who was brought to Yingzhou from Shanghai by Zhou Ke and was responsible for dealing with the army, reported.

"Kenji, is it not possible to use plan number two and spend money to buy people?" Zhou Ke asked with a frown.

Although the number of people under his command is sufficient to form a division, Zhou Ke considers the future environment and the things to be done, and believes that these people are still far from enough.

"Sir, we can't buy them anymore. General Ando of the Yingzhou Army has announced that his subordinates are not allowed to provide us with manpower. If anyone is found buying and selling soldiers, he will be demoted three levels!" Tanegashima Kenji replied.

Although the personnel situation in the entire Yingzhou region is not scarce now, if we recruit soldiers according to Huben's standards, those future elite soldiers will probably be recruited by Zhou Ke. This is one of the reasons why Ando Rikichi is unhappy.

"Let's go, I'll change into military uniform and meet him in person!" Although Ando Rikichi is now the commander of the Yingzhou Front Army, he still has the rank of lieutenant general. Zhou Ke is not too intimidated by him.

"Report to the division commander, General Ando Rikichi, commander of the Yingzhou Army, is here!" Zhou Ke had just changed into his military uniform and was about to gather his guards to go out when he happened to meet Ando Rikichi coming to his door.

"Number Three, go prepare some things and put them in the reception room..." Zhou Ke whispered a few words to Number Three beside him and then went out to greet Ando Rikichi who came with ill intentions.

A moment later, in the reception room of the Yingbei base, Zhou saw Ando Toshiyoshi, who had served as the commander of the 5th Division and commander of the South China Front in China.

Although this man graduated from the Army Academy and the Army University, he was once a spy. During his tenure as the commander of the Fifth Division, he killed many civilians.

"Mr. Matsudaira, I see that your training ground is already full. Why do you continue to recruit people? As the commander of the Yingzhou Front, I need you to give me a reasonable explanation!"

As soon as they met, Ando Rikichi got straight to the point. He was very curious why the army led by Zhou Ke's navy would recruit a large number of army reservists!

"Mr. Ando, ​​the situation in the empire is still very tense. Our Tiger Division naturally cannot be complacent with the status quo. The reason we recruit more people is to prepare for the future!" Zhou Ke responded seriously.

After all, he couldn't say that he was expanding his power through the locals of Yingzhou just to prepare for a smoother coup in his homeland in the future!

"Mr. Matsudaira, since you don't want to say more, I won't ask any more questions! But your behavior has seriously affected our local order, you'd better stop!" Ando Toshiyoshi warned with an unhappy look on his face.

"Mr. Ando, ​​the situation is so serious, we can't just stick to the old ways! Besides, the people I trained won't leave Yingzhou Island for the time being, so you don't have to worry about the lack of defense on the island!" Zhou Ke continued to persuade.

"Mr. Matsudaira, your Tiger Guard Division is not affiliated with our Yingzhou Army. You have already used up enough of our Yingzhou Army's resources. If you use up more, I will have a hard time explaining it to my men!"

After hearing what Zhou Ke said, Ando Rikichi's tone softened, but his expression was still very serious and he looked very businesslike.

"Ando-kun, I am sincerely concerned about the empire. Since you feel it is difficult to explain, I wonder if I can help you explain these to your subordinates?"

As Zhou Ke spoke, he pulled down the tablecloth on the coffee table in the reception room, revealing bundles of banknotes and gold bars that were so large that they looked dazzling.

"Matsudaira-kun! Who do you think I am?" Ando Rikichi's face turned red as he looked at the yellow and white thing under the coffee table, and he seemed a little angry!

No wonder he came to talk to Division Commander Matsudaira today, but there wasn't even any tea for the reception on the coffee table in the reception room. It turned out that the work was hidden under the coffee table. The Tiger Guard Division was really generous!

"It looks like I've come across a top-notch antique!" Zhou Ke cursed inwardly as he tried to put the tablecloth back on.

"Matsudaira-kun! I won't allow you to repeatedly insult my character! I may have been a little harsh in recruiting soldiers, and that's my fault!"

"But don't worry, when you recruit soldiers later, I will arrange people to fully cooperate with you!" Ando Rikichi quickly stretched out his hand to block Zhou Ke's action.

At this moment, Ando Rikichi's face still looked as serious as before, but the message revealed in his words could not be more straightforward!

"Ando-kun, let's have a happy cooperation!" Zhou Ke was speechless. He originally thought highly of Ando Rikichi, but now he found that this man was a complete hypocrite!

"It's a pleasure working with you!" Ando Rikichi took the initiative to grab Zhou Ke's hand, shook it vigorously and said.

............

Although the money-loving Commander Ando arrived at the Yingbei base just in time for lunch, he left quickly with a huge sum of money without waiting for the meal.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, Zhou Ke brought his men back to the dock again. A group of trained seafarers would be arriving from the Kanoya base today, and he had to do some face-saving work.

Half an hour later, Zhou Ke, who received a notice from his subordinates, came to the beach with Ozawa Jirokuro and others. Five Yukikaze ships and three passenger ships appeared on the sea not far away.

"Damn it! Why is it still the Yukikaze logo!" Zhou Ke was so angry that he was looking at five almost identical Yukikaze ships through the telescope.

"Commander, it seems a little different. Look, there is a suffix after the hull number '1'!" said Jirokuro Ozawa, who was also holding a telescope.

"I saw it, 1-! How could they think of that!"
