Chapter 397 Loss
The car slowly drove into the headquarters on Xiyangshi Street.

Yoshino got out of the car, opened the door for Yamamoto, and was still thinking about what happened just now.

Seeing Xu San here did not surprise him.

Because he was reminded by Yamamoto just now, he remembered that Xu San was wearing a vest to perform Fujita Chong's mission at the moment, and he made a mistake by saying Xu San's real name just now.

In fact, if he was normal, he wouldn't make this kind of mistake, but when he saw Xu San today, he just happened to catch up with Wang Zhenzhen to go out.This made him, who is single, suddenly want to fall in love with Feifei, and then he lost his mind for a moment, and finally said Xu San's real name.

Fortunately, Yamamoto didn't care.

After getting out of the car, Yamamoto sorted out his military uniform, and then followed a guard into the depths of the headquarters.

The headquarters located on Xiyangshi Street was probably converted from the house of a certain wealthy family.

Big and wide!

And also retains much of the original layout.

The morning sun shines into a spacious study.

Yoshio Shinozuka was splashing ink on a large desk.

He was very attentive and serious. Even though Yamamoto was standing at the door of the study, he ignored him. Instead, he raised his head to look at Yamamoto after a word was written, and said casually, "You find someone first." Sit down here for a while, it is not a military order to come to you this time, so don't be so cautious."

"Hi!" Yamamoto answered, found a chair and sat down.

After 10 minutes, Shinozuka finished writing a piece of characters again, and then put the brush on the Bita.

After taking two steps back and admiring himself, he shook his head, apparently dissatisfied with his writing.

Reaching out to pick up the teacup on the desk and taking a sip of tea, he said, "Yamamoto-kun, what do you think of my handwriting?"

Yamamoto stood up, came to the desk, pretended to read it carefully, then lowered his head and said: "The general's pen is so penetrating, it's very wonderful."

Shinozuka looked at Yamamoto with a smile and said, "Is this the truth or a lie?"

After hesitating for a moment, Yamamoto said, "General Hui, I don't know calligraphy, but there is still a slight gap between your writing and those hanging on the wall."

Yamamoto flattered him without any hesitation.

"Haha~ Yamamoto, it seems that you really don't understand calligraphy. How can my handwriting be compared with these people's? If I can be half as good as theirs, I will die without regret." Xiaozuka looked at the calligraphy on the wall. Calligraphy said.

After finishing speaking, Shinozuka walked around the desk and found a folder from a bookshelf.

The folder was very thick, about half an inch in length. Shinozuka took the folder and walked to Yamamoto, "Look at this first."

"Hi!" Yamamoto took the folder and saw the red seal with "Confidential Documents, Be Confidential".

Seeing this seal, Yamamoto's heart trembled slightly, he raised his head and looked at Shinozuka: "General?"

"Look at it first, and then express your thoughts after reading it."

"Hi!"

Untie the outermost string of the folder and pull out the official documents from the inside.

This is a battle damage report, a non-combat damage report, a non-combat damage report caused by the sudden power outage that happened too far away.

Seeing the title, Yamamoto was a little puzzled, but after he was only puzzled, he turned the page cover.After turning over the page cover, there is a catalog, all reported by various troops, some familiar and some unfamiliar.

Turned back a page and found the summarized numbers.

When he saw this shocking number, even Yamamoto couldn't help saying, "73 yen!?"

After saying this number, Yamamoto knew that he had lost his composure, so he quickly stood up and apologized, "Sorry, I lost my composure!"

Shinozuka pressed his palm lightly, "Don't worry, there are people you can trust here. When I first saw this number, I had the same reaction as you."

In fact, it is not surprising that Yamamoto was surprised. The figure of 73 yen would be almost 2 million RMB in later generations.

This number is not too much for a city, but considering the background of the times, it is very scary.

I continued to read the report and found that most of the 73 yuan was electrical equipment, of which thermal power plants and army hospitals accounted for the bulk, and the two of them together lost more than 50 yuan.

The power plant suffered heavy losses in various equipment, power generation, power transmission, and power transformation. Yamamoto could estimate from the dense list of accessories that the power plant was almost rebuilt this time.

After watching the power plant's losses, Yamamoto raised his head and looked at Shinozuka and asked, "The power plant's losses are so large, so it will have a great impact on Taiyuan's defense? Do you need me to send a group of special forces soldiers to assist?"

Shinozuka took a book from the shelf, flipped through two pages, and said, "No, this time I have dispatched two squadrons of engineers to assist the Ito Regiment to fully restore the power supply that is too far away. Your troops, I have another use."

Yamamoto recalled what he saw and heard after arriving in Taiyuan, and asked, "I saw that Taiyuan has restored the power supply today? Ito Dazai is worthy of being a top student in civil engineering at the University of Tokyo!"

"50% of the power supply has been restored today, and it will take at least half a year for the rest to return to the previous state."

"Half a year? So long?" Yamamoto asked.

Shinozuka sighed softly, and said helplessly: "Destruction is far easier than construction. The reason why it took so long is not because of money. Now that the empire's finances are tight, the money for restoration and construction is basically paid by itself."

On the issue of money, Yamamoto really can't help.

Although he has some money now, his little money can be said to be a drop in the bucket for the loss that is too far away, and his money has other uses. If he is really asked to donate it, he is really reluctant.

However, this is a rare opportunity to make a statement.

For a while, Yamamoto fell into confusion.

Shinozuka smiled slightly, and said, "Speaking of money, there is still something that needs Yamamoto-kun's help."

As soon as this remark came out, Yamamoto immediately said: "As long as the empire needs it, Kazuki Yamamoto will do his best to help even if he spends all his wealth!"

Shinozuka put the book on the bookshelf, "You don't need your money, even if your little money is used, it won't do much for the loss that is too far away. On the contrary, I will complain all over."

"Subordinates don't dare!" Hearing what Shinozuka said, Yamamoto immediately stood at attention and bowed his head to show that I didn't mean it that way.

Xiaozuka changed the subject, instead of mentioning the money, he talked about the Xusan Cement Factory, "Don't you have a cement factory?"

When the cement factory was mentioned, Yamamoto was slightly moved, thinking, could it be that General Shinozuka saw the cement factory making money and wanted to take it for himself?Although a bit reluctant, Yamamoto replied immediately: "Hi! I do have a cement factory, but the output is limited! If the empire needs it."

Shinozuka waved his hand, "I don't need a cement factory either, I just want you to increase production."

 I have a cold, my nose is stuffy, my head is dizzy, and I feel dizzy when I think about it. Today may be a change.
