Upper three rivers are finished, please help friends vote for Sanjiang Pavilion, I'm deeply grateful.
Muyang naturally disdained the identity of Laoshizi's staff, but now he needs such an identity to infiltrate the Japanese army, so he is still more concerned about the final result. Now that he has gotten such an answer, Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tsukamoto-sensei, I wonder which department I'll be assigned to?" asked Muyang curiously.
Tsukamoto Kenryaku thought for a moment before saying, "Actually, this isn't a secret at all. Many people in the General Staff already know about the personnel changes and adjustments that have been made, and they're mostly done. The only reason you haven't started yet is because of your incident, but the position is still open and hasn't been assigned to anyone else."
"The specific location is the research room of Section 3, Branch 3, Intelligence Department, Headquarters. Serving as the leader of Section 3."
Muyang was confused by Tsukamoto's long-winded name and didn't quite understand.
"Tsukamoto, I'm not very familiar with the internal workings of the General Staff Office. Could you explain it to me? It would be best to avoid any mistakes in our future work." Muyang asked after pouring Tsukamoto a cup of wine.
Tsukamoto is now drinking just right, talking about sex and getting thicker, and also has a good impression of the respectful attitude of Kōtōjima, starting to talk about some situations in the General Staff Office.
"There are currently 6 departments in the General Staff Headquarters. The one I belong to is the General Affairs Department, which mainly consists of the General Affairs Section and the Education Section. My main job in the General Affairs Section involves these several departments." As he said this, Tsukamoto Ken pointed to the subordinates he had brought with him.
Tsukamoto Ken has already introduced his general affairs course, which includes the General Affairs Section, Telegraph Section, Chief Accounting Officer, and Military Medical Officer. In Muyang's understanding, it is similar to the office and logistics department of later generations.
"The 1st Department is the Operations Department, which is personally headed by our Chief of Staff, General Mei Zhenmei. Under it are the Operations Section and the Organization and Mobilization Section. The Operations Section is further divided into the Operations Division, Combat Strength Division, Aviation Division, War Guidance Division, and Defense Division. The Organization and Mobilization Section is divided into the Organization Division, Mobilization Division, and Materiel Division."
"The Second Division is the Intelligence Division, which is divided into Russian Section, European and American Section, Chinese Section and Strategic Planning Section. Of course, under these sections there are also Military Equipment Section, Military Geography Section, Document Intelligence Section, American Section, British Section, French Section, German Section, Chinese Section, Map Section, War Situation Section, General Summary Section, Strategic Planning Section and so on."
"The 3rd Department is in charge of roads and communications. The 4th Department is in charge of war history materials. The 5th Department is directly under the Ministry of Education, governing military schools throughout the empire."
After saying so much, he felt a bit dry in the mouth, and directly picked up his wine glass. Muyang hurriedly picked up his own wine glass and said: "Tsukamoto-san, I toast to you." The two clinked glasses and took a sip.
"Director Tsukamoto, I have always admired General Maezono Toshirō from the bottom of my heart. I wonder if I will ever have the chance to receive guidance under your leadership." Muyang said with a hint of longing.
Tsukamoto smiled wryly, "Working at the General Staff Headquarters, it's only natural to see the Chief of the General Staff. Later on, there will be plenty of opportunities, and if I'm lucky, maybe even His Majesty the Emperor."
"Really? Can we still see His Majesty the Emperor?" Muyang showed a surprised look.
"Of course, if you work in the Intelligence Department, you'll find that it's actually quite close to those big shots. The several section chiefs of the Intelligence Department all have the opportunity to report directly to His Majesty the Emperor. Now that the China war is winning all along, just a few days ago, I heard from the chief of the China section that he had been to the Imperial Palace several times recently to report on the China war situation and submit materials. That guy Ashizawa Kaichi even boasted about it to me." said Tsukamoto Ken.
"Asano Kaichi?" Muyang wondered.
"Oh, it's just the head of the 2nd department, Colonel Shōichi Asano. He might be your superior in the future." Tsukamoto said casually.
At this time, a class leader named Sōei Tadashi next to him said, "If it weren't for the Shinano family's relationship, that weak young master would not have become the head of the department."
"Be careful with your words, Kawara." Tsukamoto Ken softly scolded. But Muyang could see that Tsukamoto Ken didn't seem to get along with the section chief named Asano Kaichi.
At this time, Tsukamoto said: "Mr. Kō, if you go to work in the branch office, be sure to pay attention to Asano Kaichi. Although he also graduated from the Army Academy, he has never been on the battlefield for a day. He relies on his family's power and has become the head of the department. Many people have a bad impression of him, so it's best not to get too close to him."
"Tsukamoto-senpai, I'll be visiting you often from now on, so please don't mind the trouble." Muyang didn't directly respond to Tsukamoto's words, but his intention was clear: he would get close to Tsukamoto.
Tsukamoto smiled in satisfaction. He thought that Kojima was still a person who could be cultivated, at least this brain is not stupid.
Mu Yang couldn't help but laugh in his heart, it seemed that the internal struggles within the General Staff Headquarters were also quite intense. However, he didn't need to care about these things, everything was based on his own will, and as for the infighting between these department heads, it had nothing to do with him, the more fiercely they fought, the better.
The wine was enough and the rice was full, but the program had not ended. Tsukamoto brought a few class leaders to take the woman upstairs for leisure, while Muyang did not follow, but paid the bill and left directly, returning to his own hotel.
According to Tsukamoto's words, Muyang is likely to be assigned to the Shina course and serve as the class leader of Class 3. The position of class leader can be held by a lieutenant commander or a commander, and with Kōtō's experience, there should be no problem. Now it depends on how the General Staff Office handles him in the end.
For the next period of time, Mu Yang spent most of his time at home reading books, except for occasional outings to explore the surrounding streets and local customs. He had bought over a dozen books about Japan's domestic army in modern times, especially those that focused on introducing the General Staff Office, which was his main focus of study.
However, these books are ultimately one-sided, and many of the content is just touched upon. After all, it's a historical event from decades ago, and the General Staff Department is a relatively mysterious and heavily guarded military department. The books mainly introduce the main characters, past Chiefs of the General Staff Department, and the functions of the organization, but as for how they actually work, there is no mention of that in the books. Mu Yang sighed, it seems like he can only figure things out on his own.
Three days later, in the morning, Moyang's door was knocked on. When he opened it, he saw a young lieutenant officer.
"Is it Lieutenant Commander Jiang Teng?"
"It's me." Murong nodded and replied.
"Major General, I am Hyōten Iino from the General Staff Office's General Affairs Section. I have been ordered to convey a message from the General Staff Office to you." The lieutenant said respectfully.
"Let's talk inside." The two walked into the house, and the lieutenant put down the box he was carrying on the table. When he opened it, they found a cowhide paper bag on top, and underneath, a military uniform, shoes, and hat.
"Major Nakatsuka, here are your ID and employment documents. Please go to the General Staff Office before this afternoon to complete the registration procedures. This is the military uniform brought for you, as instructed by Lieutenant Colonel Tsukamoto." The lieutenant did the same, taking out the items and placing them on the table for Muyang Qing to check.
It seems that the meal I treated myself to wasn't in vain, and now it's showing its effect. Otherwise, how would Tsukamoto Ken think of sending me a military uniform?
