What is most difficult for Yamamoto Kojiro to accept is that as the planner and the supreme commander in charge of the entire Qing City, Yagyu Kazuo has not shown up yet. How can Yamamoto Kojiro feel at ease?
"Yagyu Kazuo, your plan better succeed."
Swallowing the last bite of cold rice balls, Yamamoto Kojiro bit his back teeth and said, "If there is any accident in this plan, and it ends up failing, I will report your incompetence to the headquarters.
When the time comes, no matter if you are the best in Japan or not, you will be punished for what you have done!"
From Yamamoto Kojiro's perspective, he had enough reasons to hate Yagyu Kazuo.
Yamamoto Kojiro was originally a good person in charge of Qing City. Although he suffered two consecutive defeats and lost a lot of manpower, it was because the opponents were too strong, not because of his incompetence.
But you, Yagyu Kazuo, were different. As soon as you arrived, you took over the command without any courtesy.
Although your Yagyu family does have a high status and you, Yagyu Kazuo, are very powerful, Yamamoto Kojiro is an old senior after all. You have to give him due respect, right?
But look at what Yagyu Kazuo did after he came. He was so arbitrary. Not to mention actively seeking Yamamoto Kojiro's opinion, after meeting him, if one of his three sentences didn't contain some sarcasm, it wasn't considered a single word.
It's simply the ultimate expression of sarcasm and harshness.
If he had not taken into account his previous failures and the fact that he was already guilty, and the fact that Qing City was indeed important to Japan, Yamamoto Kojiro might have fallen out with Yagyu Kazuo long ago.
Don't think that the Japanese are a monolithic group; that is just propaganda by some unscrupulous public intellectuals to confuse the Chinese people.
Perhaps the Japanese at the lower level will be very obedient to their superiors, but that is just the charm and strength gene in their bones.
But the so-called obedience is just something they have to do when they are not as strong as others. As long as they have a little status, they are always thinking about counterattack.
Don't forget that the Japanese have a fine tradition called "overthrowing the superiors".
Think about the invasion of Northeast China back then. Wasn't it a group of middle and senior military officers who carried out the invasion directly with the Japanese headquarters without the knowledge of Kwantung Army Commander Ueda Kenkichi?
Anyway, it's already a fait accompli. It depends on how the commander and the masters at the headquarters will decide.
In the end, a group of old Japanese chose to go with the flow and reap all the benefits.
To put it bluntly, the Japanese are despicable at heart. They will be servile when they are weak, but as long as they have a little strength, they will do anything when they see benefits. They are the model of "whoever gives you milk is your mother".
In Yamamoto Kojiro's opinion, Yagyu Kazuo may have the ability, but he is too arrogant and self-willed. Letting such a person be in charge of the great cause of Da Di Gua will not produce any results.
Even if you can gain a temporary advantage, it won't last long.
But Yamamoto Kojiro also knew that the situation was stronger than the person. Since the base camp had chosen Yagyu Kazuo, he could not do anything against the will of the strong. He could only choose to lie dormant temporarily and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.
The best opportunity would be for Yagyu Kazuo to make mistakes, suffer heavy casualties, or even suffer a crushing defeat, thus making the headquarters truly realize that the previous failures could not all be blamed on Yamamoto Kojiro.
Now, this opportunity seems to have arrived.
Although Yamamoto Kojiro didn't know Yagyu Kazuo's entire plan, the attack on Qilin Villa was obviously not going well. Not only did they gain nothing, but they also lost nearly twenty people, all of whom were psychics.
"Something's wrong?"
Just when he was imagining that Yagyu Kazuo was about to fall flat on his face and that he might be able to take this opportunity to turn the tide, Yamamoto Kojiro suddenly came to his senses and slapped his thigh hard: "Oh no, I've fallen into a trap.
Yagyu Kazuo, I didn't expect you to be so despicable!
He asked me to lead people to attack Qilin Villa without telling me the whole plan. It's obvious that he wanted me to take the blame!
If the plan succeeds, it's all because of your good deployment and strong command, but if the plan fails, wouldn't I be the best person to take the blame?"
Perhaps it was a flash of inspiration for Yamamoto Kojiro to finally understand. The people taken away by Yagyu Kazuo were all experts, and there were only a few of them. On the contrary, a large number of people gathered on his side. If the plan did not go smoothly, wouldn't all the responsibility be on his head?
But it was too late to understand. Yamamoto Kojiro realized that he had been tricked by Yagyu Kazuo.
It's ridiculous that I was just watching the fun at that time and let Yagyu Kazuo give orders recklessly. I didn't expect that this guy actually dug a big hole for me, waiting for me to jump in.
Almost in an instant, the sneer on Yamamoto Kojiro's face disappeared and turned ashen.
Realizing that he had been tricked, Kojiro Yamamoto stopped commanding his men to continue the attack.
Villa No. 1 is now like a hedgehog, with such a solid shell that it cannot be taken down with the existing manpower.
In this case, instead of increasing casualties, it would be better to just give up.
Even if you don't put in any effort, it's better than being completely wiped out, right?
This is what Yamamoto Kojiro thought and did, but the old man did not say it explicitly. He just sat there and never gave the order to continue the attack.
Those Japanese soldiers were so happy that they could have a good rest here. Who would want to die?
When the Japanese get angry, they are not afraid of death, but that doesn't mean they are willing to die, especially to die.
Since you can live a good life now, why bother to cause trouble?
Moreover, after the battle just now, these people have seen how ferocious the women and pets in Villa No. 1 are.
And those people with special abilities from Qilin Villa who arrived later were not easy to deal with.
To be honest, if possible, the Japanese don't want to encounter such an opponent!
A simple comparison between the two sides shows that the Japanese are not as strong individually as the enemy, and their equipment is not as good as the enemy, but the enemy still has a solid fortress, while we only have one person left.
Just tell me, how do we fight this war?
Thus, with the connivance and inaction of Yamamoto Kojiro, the front-line commander, the Japanese soldiers who besieged Villa No. 1 began a brief life of lying low.
The Japanese stopped fighting, and everyone in Villa No. 1, who was in a passive defensive position, was confused, but they took this opportunity to have a good rest.
Neither side made any further move, and the entire Qilin Villa fell into a strange state of calm, no longer the tense situation just now.
However, less than three kilometers away from the Japanese lighthouse base, a fierce battle was still going on.
