Kondo Yoshinori took a leave of absence for more than two months due to family matters. Now that he is back to work, the first thing he naturally wants to do is meet his superior, Masato Nishida.
This person is a major general officer at the Marine Corps Command. In normal times, he is basically in charge of the affairs of the Marine Corps Command.
Moreover, he and the Kondo family are considered to be related by marriage, so naturally he cares very much for the younger generation Kondo Yoshinori!
It can be said that the reason why Yoshinori Kondo chose to join the Marine Corps in the first place and that he was able to be so cool in the Marine Corps Division had a lot to do with this person.
At this time, the two of them were also sitting in Nishida Masato's office, and Nishida Masato and Kondo Yoshinori were making tea. They didn't look like they were superiors and subordinates at all. They were purely elders and juniors.
"Yoshinori, welcome back. I'm afraid you'll have to show off your skills this time around!" Masato Nishida looked at Kondo Yoshinori and said with a smile.
"Uncle, you are joking. No matter what, I am still your soldier!" After Kondo Yoshinori heard Nishida Masato's words, he immediately handed a cup of poured tea to Nishida Masato, and then said with a smile.
Masato Nishida's wife is the aunt of Yoshinori Kondo and the sister of Yoshinori Kondo's father. Of course, this so-called sister can actually be regarded as a cousin in terms of blood relationship.
Of course, Kondo Yoshinori's grandfather and Nishida Masato's wife's father are brothers, so the relationship between the two families is still very close. However, Kondo Yoshinori's grandfather is the eldest son of the family and the patriarch of the Kondo family, and this brother,
It is a concubine.
So if we take it more seriously, in the Kondo family, although Nishida Masato is said to be a major general officer, his status is still much lower than Kondo Yoshinori.
Of course, Kondo Yoshinori is working under him now, and Kondo Yoshinori is not an idiot. When facing Masato Nishida, he will naturally not show an arrogant attitude.
On the contrary, Kondo Yoshinori respects Nishida Masato very much, and Nishida Masato is also very satisfied with this, so it is said that the two people get along so harmoniously.
"Well, you have been working at the Marine Corps Command for such a long time. Do you have any further ideas?" After hearing what Kondo Yoshinori said, Nishida Masato nodded slightly, and then looked at Kondo Yoshinori again.
said.
"Of course this is true, but nephew, I haven't accomplished anything yet, I'm afraid...?" Kondo Yoshinori said with a smile after hearing Nishida Masato's words.
"Haha, who said you haven't accomplished anything yet? You were able to get bristles and tung oil, which is a great contribution to us. You know, because of what you did, our logistics department has been criticized by senior officials many times.
of praise.”
"So for such a great achievement, the Empire of Japan will definitely commend him." Masato Nishida looked at Kondo Yoshinori and said softly.
For people like them, it is still a bit troublesome to promote someone from Lieutenant Colonel to Colonel.
Because according to the current Japanese military rank system, the status of a colonel is second only to that of a general, so he belongs to the middle and upper levels of the army, and his position level is also very high.
To put it bluntly, for some ordinary soldiers, becoming a colonel is an unattainable goal, and may even be impossible to achieve in their lifetime.
Because the Empire of Japan has a different military rank promotion mechanism than other countries. In other countries, as long as you work hard enough, you have the opportunity to become a general or marshal. After all, soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not good soldiers.
However, in the military system of the Empire of Japan, there are five levels: soldiers, non-commissioned officers, lieutenants, assistant officers and generals, and these five levels are composed of two groups of people.
Part of them starts from the senior level of lieutenants and above. They are Japanese professional soldiers. They start from the Army Infant School and undergo year after year of training and selection. Those who finally graduate successfully begin to enter the army. As long as they have merit, they can be promoted.
The other type is non-professional soldiers. They are originally ordinary workers, farmers, and businessmen. Once a war breaks out, they will be temporarily recruited into the army. They are like temporary workers. They serve as soldiers during wartime and do their own thing in peacetime.
This type of people are basically concentrated among soldiers. A small number of outstanding people can become non-commissioned officers, and a very small number of outstanding people have the opportunity to become lieutenants.
But the rank of lieutenant officer is basically the limit. As a middle-level and high-level lieutenant officer in the Japanese army, only professional soldiers are qualified to serve.
Therefore, if a person like Yoshinori Kondo were an ordinary person, no matter how well he did in his life, he would only be a lieutenant at most. It would be basically impossible for him to get promoted.
But who says Yoshinori Kondo is not an ordinary person? Who says he is a direct descendant of the Kondo family?
Some people are destined to be superior to others when they are reincarnated!
This is life!
"If that's the case, then I will be disrespectful. Thank you for your cultivation. Here, I will drink tea instead of wine and drink it first." After Kondo Yoshinori heard Nishida Masato's words, he immediately picked up the teacup.
Said to Masato Nishida.
Naturally, he understood what Nishida Masato said about the bristles and tung oil, but this incident happened last year.
As the Sino-Japanese war continued and intensified, China controlled bristles and tung oil, so the empire could not purchase them at all.
However, as these things are strategic materials, if they are not available, the impact will be huge, so those in the logistics department are worried about this.
Even during that period of time, the Logistics Department, a very prosperous department that usually everyone wanted to get into, suddenly seemed a little empty.
For this reason, those people in the logistics department did not hesitate to offer high prices to buy these things. Even after those people knew that they were doing some business, they also took the initiative to find me to see if there was anything they could do.
It is precisely because of this, and the fact that the smuggling channel between himself and "Li Jiang" has been opened, that he just asked "Li Jiang" like a dead horse.
Not thinking that my brother was really capable, he quickly got some bristles and tung oil. Although the quantity was relatively small the first time, it was also a very good start.
