Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

Chapter 13 A surprise at the royal banquet

Chen Jiehua named the completed American Western Pharmaceutical Factory "Western Heart Pharmaceutical Factory". In the initial stage, it mainly produced aspirin and common medicines.

In the secret internal research institute were Alexander Fleming, a British bacteriologist hired from the UK at a high salary, and Gerhard Domagk, hired from Germany. Each of them led a team to study penicillin and sulfa drugs respectively according to Chen Jiehua's requirements.

During his time in the United States, Chen Jiehua learned German and later went to Germany.

While in Germany, Chen Jiehua found the most powerful surgical instrument manufacturer in Germany at the time and customized two sets of surgical equipment and replacement blades.

The cautious Chen Jiehua left a younger brother, George Lucas, at the research institute. He asked him to call Aoki Seigen at his secret residence in Tokyo, Japan, as soon as the research was successful, and inform him that "the drug needs to be shipped, please coordinate."

"Master System, what I want is to develop penicillin and sulfa drugs ahead of time and complete mass production as soon as possible! Then install them in the space. So, can this space give me a few more cubic meters in advance? One cubic meter is obviously not enough!"

"I'll pre-open two cubes for you. Please work hard to earn points!"

"Thank you, System God!"

In the early morning of December 1926, 12, Emperor Taisho passed away and Crown Prince Hirohito succeeded to the throne, and the reign was named Showa!

On the 26th of the first year of the Showa era, the Japanese Army University officially opened!
Chen Jiehua returned to Japan, but wasn't going to school? Studying? There were too many tasks in the Novice Village, and it would be a waste of precious time to study! Chen Jiehua found Okamura Neiji, who was busy, and followed him around to help him build connections!

On January 2, 1, Empress Kōjun gave birth to a princess for Emperor Showa. On February 13, Okamura Yasuji attended the imperial banquet with Nagata Tetsuzan and Obata Toshishirō. Okamura brought along his junior brothers Mazaki and Aoki Seigen.

At the banquet, Okamura introduced Mazaki, the second disciple (self-proclaimed) of his master Aoki Nobujun, to Emperor Showa at the right time. Showa was very happy. He had heard about Okamura's master Aoki Nobujun when he was touring Europe. He was very capable and had been running the Chinese business for decades and cultivated such an outstanding talent as Okamura!
In fact, Showa had already heard of Mazaki's name. He was also a well-known figure in the military before, but due to political infighting, he was transferred to the Army Academy to supervise the teaching affairs. What a waste of talent! It's just what I need! As the old Chinese saying goes, "Adding icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow!"

When Okamura was introducing Aoki Seigen for the second time, he talked about his family background. Suddenly, Empress Kōjun interrupted and asked Aoki Seigen about his mother!
Okamura was stunned by the question! How would I know who Qingxuan's mother is?

Although Qing Mu Qing Xuan felt strange, on this occasion, the Queen personally asked! He had to answer truthfully, "My mother is Shimazu Kanako, from the Shimazu family in Kyushu."

"Haha, excuse me! Qingxuan, don't be surprised! According to this, she is your cousin!"

After Empress Kōjun finished speaking, the entire banquet hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop! Those who didn't understand the situation didn't dare to interrupt!
Empress Kōjun is usually quiet, but she was genuinely excited! It's truly amazing! Japan is so small, and she actually met a distant relative!

"My mother is also from the Shimazu family in Kyushu! She's your mother's older sister, actually!"

Chen Jiehua's emotional intelligence has been cultivated to a very high level by the system. If he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity to recognize his relatives now, when will he be willing to wait?
"Meet the Queen Sister!"

"Hahaha~~" Showa was also very happy! This was really double the joy, and everyone came to their senses and echoed him, raising their glasses and drinking together!
"Qingxuan's kendo is the undisputed leader in our school's 17th term!"

After finishing a glass of wine, Mazaki Shinzaburo's supporting role started at the right time.

"Hey! Is that really the case?" Nagata Tetsuzan, who was standing nearby, felt that he had made a mistake. He didn't bring his allies to the banquet, and all the limelight was stolen by Okamura Yasuji! He was very unhappy!
Damn it, I'm going to push you and embarrass you! "The royal family also has a kendo professor, how about inviting him to fight to liven up the atmosphere?" Nagata Tetsuzan suggested!
The Japanese military and political circles all like to practice kendo, and everyone is very excited. It is naturally great to watch high-level kendo battles!
Chen Jiehua didn't know how to refuse, so he let them arrange it without saying a word!

In Showa's eyes, this is a sign of confidence, so it's worth watching!
The royal kendo professor was soon invited and everyone moved to the kendo room together.

"Host, please take note! Please adjust to your best condition, bring out your best combat power, and resolve this battle quickly!"

"why?"

"The Yamato people admire strength! This was especially true during the Showa era. Therefore, there's no need for showmanship! No need for humility! One of the samurai styles of the Japanese is not to be humble!"

After receiving instructions from the system, Chen Jiehua naturally did not hesitate. He adjusted his clothes, picked up the bamboo sword, and his aura rose!

As mentioned earlier, the Yin-ryu style of Japanese kendo focuses on practical combat and is highly practicable. Chen Jiehua had no idea how much stronger his kendo had become after the revisions from the secret manual, nor did he know how to hold back. Following the system's instructions, he launched his full-strength attack from the moment it began! A dimensional strike! The first strike sent the opponent flying, sword and all, crashing through the partition of the wooden house!
The whole place was silent! Everyone's mouths were open!
Everyone was stunned for at least 13 seconds. Empress Kōjun began to appreciate and like her cousin more and more!
"Qingxuan is truly the war god of the Shimazu family!"

No one would think that Empress Kōjun said something wrong. If she said it was the Shimazu family, then it was the Shimazu family!

At most, he is the god of war of the Shimazu family and the Aoki family!
Aoki Aogen's title of "Shimazu God of War" is thus established! Conferred personally by the Empress!
"With Qingxuan's fighting power, he is fully capable of continuing the unfinished work of his master!" Okamura said on the side.

Following Okamura Yasuji's words, Mazaki Shinzaburo told everyone about Aoki Aogen's deeds at the Army Academy graduation ceremony as a story, adding some embellishments. The two of them worked together to connect the previous and the next, and the topic all revolved around Aoki Aogen.

Royal banquets are all about chatting about various elegant anecdotes and having fun together.

"From the Book of Songs, Guofeng, Zhounan, there is a tall tree in the south, and I cannot stop thinking about it. Qingxuan's lofty ambitions are the same as mine! This is the continuation of my ambition! My ambition is already 'cannot stop thinking about it,' but Qingxuan can definitely 'have a tall tree in the south!'" Emperor Hirohito quoted a line from ancient Chinese. "Would you mind granting Qingxuan the name 'Qiao'?"

Everyone was a little confused. Your style changed a little too quickly, Emperor?

Okamura Neiji next to him reacted quickly, "Aoki Qiao! This name is very ambitious and meaningful! Qingxuan! Why don't you thank the Emperor quickly!"

Chen Jiehua, whose acting skills were excellent, pretended to be stunned for a moment, glanced at Okamura Yasuji, and then knelt down to thank the Emperor according to the Japanese etiquette he remembered, "Aoki Qiao thanks the Emperor for the name!"

The Empress bestowed the title, and the Emperor bestowed the name. This treatment is unparalleled!

The Emperor was very happy. He had another great general! He was from the Shimazu family! He was from the Empress's family, and he was a distant cousin! He was definitely one of our own!

　Empress Kōjun's mother was indeed from the Shimazu family of Satsuma Domain in Kyushu, as can be verified in history. I was going to make a big deal about it at first, but now I think the background is too big and it's not easy to change. Let's leave it as it is.
