As the Duke Kujou Yuuma, he is also a member of the Takaishi Family, which makes Eagle Tsukasa Jin II his vassal. The vassal is stationed in Lüshun to oversee other operational units, and the consequence of any mistakes is dire—failure means certain doom!
Is it too late for me to pledge my loyalty now?
Souma Tadaaki was still making arrangements when Kujou Yuuma boarded the train, and it began to move. Souma could only lower his head, turning with the train as it traveled; he lacked the courage to look up.
It wasn't until the train left the station and was nearly out of sight that Souma finally raised his head, scanning his surroundings until he spotted Eagle Tsukasa Jin II and quickly approached him.
"Eagle Lord, whenever it's convenient for you, we should discuss how to maintain military discipline and address security issues."
"General, just call me Jin Er. Besides, I am not worthy of addressing myself by name."
"Alright, Brother Jin Er, would you like to ride with me?"
"Your Excellency Ichitaro is currently training the new Gendarmerie. Why don’t we go together and seek some guidance from One Your Excellency?"
"What are we waiting for? Let's go together! We can consult with One Your Excellency!"
"After you, General!"
The night of slaughter not only allowed Kujou to control the Gendarmerie in Lüshun through his vassal but also indirectly gave him control over the highest commander of the stationed troops, Major General Souma Tadaaki.
Thanks to thorough preparations, there was an abundance of food on the Military Train. A little after midnight at Harbin Station, the Gendarmerie began to disembark in formation.
A month after the horrific incident, the aftermath still lingered; the Harbin City Government's official system had yet to be fully staffed. No one dared to collaborate anymore—Guomindang's crackdown had been ruthless. The interim chairman of the maintenance committee had been forcibly promoted to temporary mayor.
The remaining officers of the Harbin Gendarmerie appeared at the station with arms in slings; this was still manageable compared to others who had been severely injured and sent back home, awaiting their fate as incomplete individuals.
Currently, maintaining order at the station was entirely up to the officers from Harbin's Jingwei Police Station. Kujou noticed Wu Yong standing among the welcoming party, who had just recently been promoted.
As soon as Kujou disembarked, Kanto Army Commander Mutou Nobuyoshi and Military Police Commander Ninomiya Kenichi came forward to greet him.
"Your Excellency, welcome to Harbin."
Even though Kujou was arrogant, he recognized that Mutou Nobuyoshi was a Major General. Thus, he extended his hand for a handshake and politely acknowledged him. "General! It’s an honor!"
Ninomiya Kenichi was an old acquaintance; they exchanged a friendly handshake. "Commander! It’s been a while."
Your Excellency, I have finally awaited your arrival, and now I can finally set my mind at ease. The orders for the transfer have arrived, and I will soon be reassigned to the mainland.
Commander, do not worry. Trust me, as a member of the Fujiwara Family, you will return soon.
Hearing Kujou's words, Ninomiya Kenichi felt a surge of happiness. He was part of the Fujiwara Family and had married into the Ninomiya Family, inheriting their name. The support from Lord Kujo was significant; he understood that opportunities like this were rare.
He knew that the identity of his successor was crucial, and compared to gaining the support of the Military Headquarters for succession, he felt somewhat anxious.
In truth, it wasn't just Ninomiya Kenichi who was aware of this; Kujou also understood—not because he knew the contents of the orders, but because he was aware of history.
Ninomiya Kenichi's succession would bring forth one of the most notorious figures: Old Devil Tojo Hideki!
Kujou was confident that whether in his own identity or under the alias Tianlong Zeyan, he could outmaneuver this Old Devil!
Thus, he was assured that after dealing with Tojo Old Devil's son, with the backing of the Kazoku forces, Ninomiya Kenichi would surely return or be placed in a position he arranged.
