Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Shinozuka stopped in his tracks, stared at Matsumoto for a full three seconds before slowly speaking, "Okay! You only have 3 minutes!"

Taking a deep breath, Matsumoto thought about the words for a while, and said, "Your Excellency, General, forgive me for my incompetence. This communication equipment is too advanced and has surpassed my subordinates' understanding, so it cannot be recovered!"

After finishing speaking, Matsumoto bowed vigorously to apologize for his incompetence.

Shinozuka nodded without paying attention.

Seeing that Shinozuka was not angry, Matsumoto continued, "However, among these parts, only this battery subordinate can get a clue. The subordinate hopes that it can be restored and mass-produced."

Shinozuka frowned, because it had nothing to do with intelligence, but as a general, he decided to listen to the words, "You still have 2 minutes."

"This kind of battery is very advanced. It can reach 12.19w power with just such a large piece! The most important thing is that its voltage is very stable."

Shinozuka shook his head, "Tell me what I'm interested in, and you can understand it!"

"The 12.19w radio station can cover more than half of China! In other words, if our communications soldiers carry this kind of battery, the load can be greatly reduced!"

Shinozuka's eyes flickered, this time he heard something he was interested in.

He knew about the individual radio station that the total amount of messy equipment weighed at least [-] kilograms. If this could reduce the load, it would also improve the survival rate of many signal soldiers.

Shinozuka returned to the table again, picked up the biscuit-sized battery, "You mean such a small battery can support the operation of a single-soldier radio?"

"Yes!" Matsumoto replied firmly.

"Then what else is it for?"

"There are many uses, as long as it reaches mass production, it's totally fine"

Matsumoto was talking about it, first talking about military use, then civilian use.

Unconsciously, 5 minutes passed, and Matsumoto finally expressed his true intention, "I want to apply for a research project for this battery, and then apply for a grant."

The project is easy to talk about, but the research funding is not easy to manage.

Xiaozuka has a high degree of education, and he knows that research is a bottomless pit. If countless money is poured into it, there may be no results at all, but he is still a little tempted by the words, because if Matsumoto's research is really successful, it will be a proper military achievement.

After thinking for a while, Shinozuka decided to ask how much money Matsumoto wanted, "How much money do you plan to ask for?"

"Five thousand first! Beautiful knife!" Matsumoto asked tentatively.

Fifty thousand U.S. dollars is a lot of money. You must know that the value of the steel plant he was bombed is only 60 million U.S. dollars.

It costs [-] yuan to research a battery, which is really unacceptable to Shinozuka.

But no matter what he is, he is also a general. Although the budget is very tight now, he can still spend [-] to [-] yuan.

"I'll think about it and give you an answer at noon. But [-] is impossible, and I can give you [-] at most. If it's not enough, I will report to the military department."

"Thank you, General!" Matsumoto bowed [-] degrees to express his gratitude. He is very content now. Originally, he thought that there was only one or two thousand funds, but he did not expect to get twenty thousand.

"Submit the detailed project report before noon!" Shinozuka said and left the intelligence department.

After a simple wash, Shinozuka came to the study as a routine.

As soon as he entered the study, he realized that someone had arrived one step earlier than him.

The study is equal to half the headquarters, and there are many military secrets hidden in it. Nobody dares to trespass privately, even Kazuki Yamamoto dares to wait at the door of the study at most.

"Good morning, Your Excellency Miyano!" Shinozuka greeted him as usual, but he felt a little displeased.

"Master Shinozuka, good morning!" Kazuo Miyano nodded slightly in return.

Finding a chair, Shinozuka sat down, then waved his hand, and the guard went down to prepare tea.

Not long after, the guard brought the tea, and Shinozuka picked up the tea bowl, scraped off the foam from the tea leaves and said, "Your Majesty Miyano woke up so early, did you not sleep well?"

Shinozuka said with a pun.

Miyano looked slightly startled, and said with a little shame, "My seniority is still young."

In the middle of speaking, Miyano turned his gaze to Shinozuka guard.

Guard Shinozuka understood what Miyano meant, but he still cast a questioning look at Shinozuka.

Shinozuka waved lightly, the guard understood, and immediately left the study, and then closed the door.

It was very quiet in the study, except for the sound of Miyano drinking tea, there was nothing else.

"Your Excellency Miyano, is it because of gold that you can't sleep well?" Shinozuka spoke first.

Miyano put down his teacup, "Indeed! After all, the amount is huge!"

"The information is wrong!" Shinozuka said unhurriedly.

Miyano's expression changed suddenly, "Wrong!? Don't you have this batch of gold?"

Shinozuka picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly, "There is gold, but the quantity is wrong! Only 7.06 tons."

"Why is it missing so much?" Miyano's tone was a little hasty.

"Isn't it normal for information to be inaccurate? Could it be that Miyano-kun is worried that Yamamoto's subordinates are greedy for ink?" Shinozuka's tone was a bit harsh, and he sounded a little angry.

"I don't mean that, it's just that it's almost one-third less suddenly, and I can't help but have a little gap in my heart."

Shinozuka smiled, "Miyano-kun, we are soldiers, not businessmen, so we don't have to be too obsessed with money. What's more, these golds are almost like picking up for nothing, isn't it all the same?" After speaking, he glanced at Miyano with dark circles under his eyes and said, "According to Huaxia's words, you look alike!"

Miyano also laughed, "Your Excellency Shinozuka is right, I thought about it! But, after all, the war is tense and the financial pressure is heavy. If this batch of gold is in hand, it will indeed relieve the financial pressure."

Shinozuka took another sip of tea, stood up, walked to the desk, took out a document from a file shelf, and handed it to Kazuo Miyano, "This is a telegram from the Special Forces. It was sent last night. The gold has already been obtained."

Miyano took it and read it carefully.

But just reading the beginning made the corner of his mouth twitch as a general.

After reading it, Miyano returned the telegram to Shinozuka, "The code name of General Yamamoto's subordinate is very special."

After hearing this, Shinozuka shook his head with a wry smile, "It's really special. They encountered Eight Routes, and the communicator disappeared, so the telegram was sent by another person as a last resort. Because there is no code book, that's why they used this code word."

Miyano raised his head slightly, looked at Fang Liang recalling the telegram just now, and said after a while, "Master Yamamoto, this subordinate has quite a rich imagination. Well, especially the General Dung Beetle is a stroke of genius."

Miyano said the last words while looking at Shinozuka.

Shinozuka was not angry either, because it was not derogatory to describe a person as a dung beetle, but it was also a compliment in some occasions. (end of this chapter)
