As Huang Tianwei finished speaking, Miura's expression brightened, and he slammed his fist into his palm:
"Yes! Lord Tianwei is right!"
"How could they have strength like ours! They never had this before!"
"Murata's defeat was due to his incompetence! But we are different!"
“We have more advanced weapons! And two more military branches! Let’s teach this so-called Yan Kingdom army a lesson!” Miura looked at Fukuyama.
Fukuyama immediately expressed his opinion, and then said:
"We've come here with everything prepared!"
"As His Majesty the Emperor said, this time we are betting everything. The people back home are waiting for us to bring back good news! Our task is not yet completed, so we must fight to the very end!"
Seeing that his two subordinates had spoken in this way, and considering Huang Tianwei's words, Ito Jun'yori said with a serious expression:
"That's right, only by continuing the war can we sustain ourselves through war! Only then can our Japan rise to power!"
"If our Fusang is to become a powerful nation in the future, and Yan Kingdom can't even take the first step of the plan, what future can we talk about?"
"This land is so vast. If it were given to us, Japan would surely develop rapidly in the future!"
"Lord Tianwei, what you said is very good!"
"We must fight to the very end!"
Huang Tianwei nodded without saying anything.
Upon seeing that Ito had finally expressed his opinion, Miura was overjoyed and immediately said:
"The general is right! How can we forget our mission when we are here!"
"Take this land, plant all the cherry blossoms from our hometown here, and make this place Fusang! Bigger! Better! Stronger Fusang!"
Huang Tianwei stiffened. These words seemed familiar; Murata had said the same thing not long ago.
So he touched his face and coughed softly:
"What's wrong? Tianwei-kun, is there something you want to say?" Ito looked at Huang Tianwei, who seemed hesitant to speak.
Huang Tianwei shook his head, his voice trembling slightly:
“Previously, I followed Murata-kun in his campaigns and never suffered a defeat. It wasn’t until this battle was over that I realized that sometimes even if you fight with all your might, you can’t change the huge disparity in troop strength.”
"But now that I have finally met General Ito and your troops, I have just entered the camp and seen your army. I believe that this army will surely defeat our enemy!"
"As the adopted son of Yamanaka Taisho, I feel it is necessary to state the facts to him: we truly... need reform!"
"There are still quite a few people in the local area who are unaware of this problem. I feel it is necessary for me to send them the latest information. I believe my words will be convincing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ito Junyoshi's expression brightened!
For a long time, conservative families such as Yamanaka and Murata in the local area have been secretly fighting against him. This time, Murata's defeat in battle means that those in the local area must clearly recognize their own limitations!
And His Majesty the Emperor will certainly devote all resources to his side from now on.
Without a doubt, having Huang Tianwei, a firsthand witness, convey military intelligence back home is extremely convincing!
Although Miura's face remained tense, he secretly hoped that news of Murata's defeat would reach the country immediately. He looked at Huang Tianwei and said:
“Tenwei-kun, although you came with Murata and have fought side by side for a long time, to be honest, you have a very clear understanding of things and you know the bigger picture!”
“You’re a smart man! Murata is too stubborn. Those like him in the local area should also realize that times have changed!”
Huang Tianwei nodded and sighed:
"Yes."
"But in any case, the responsibility for this defeat does not lie entirely with Murata-kun. As his deputy, I also bear an inescapable responsibility!"
"I plan to return to Japan immediately to deliver the message and persuade General Yamanaka to accept the change. Of course, I will also request an audience with His Majesty the Emperor to personally apologize to him!"
"Even if he asks me to commit seppuku to atone for my sins, I will accept it!!" Huang Tianwei's expression was resolute.
Huang Tianwei's words moved Ito Jun'yori deeply.
If it weren't for their different bloodlines, he would practically be a born Japanese!
No! Some people are even worse than him!
Sure enough! There's a reason why he was quickly given an important position after joining Japan.
This person is courageous, resourceful, bold, insightful, and also benevolent and righteous—truly a rare find!
Ito Junji gave Huang Tianwei an approving look, then reached out and patted Huang Tianwei on the shoulder, saying earnestly:
"His Majesty the Emperor is discerning and I believe he will not punish you too severely."
“Tenwei-kun, you have done everything you could. This failure was due to Murata’s decision, which was just a decision you were only a lieutenant in. There was nothing we could do about it.”
"Although we have suffered defeats and lost many people, war is always a battle with winners and losers."
Miura immediately followed up, saying, "General Ito, as I said before, no matter what, we'll cover for you!"
"Come on, let's change the current situation!"
"It's time for us to step up!"
Fukuyama chimed in, "General! We are ready!"
Ito Junji nodded: "Okay!"
Let's defeat them!
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them spoke at the same time:
"We swear to serve His Majesty the Emperor to the death! We will fight for our country!"
After a passionate oath, Ito looked at Huang Tianwei:
"So... are you sure you don't want to wait until we defeat Qin Ze before going back?"
"You can fight alongside us; at the very least, it will salvage some of your reputation."
Huang Tianwei shook his head: "I don't care about reputation. Right now, I think the most important thing is to convey military intelligence to the homeland."
