"What's wrong with you today? Weren't you so indignant just a few days ago, demanding an explanation? How come everything has changed so much in just a few days..."

Moreover, in his memory, his friend didn't have such a high level of skill.

"It's nothing, I just saw some things these past few days."

"?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Kujo Masahito's head.

"What did you see?" Kujo Masahito asked curiously.

He couldn't imagine what could cause such a huge change in a person in just a few days.

"Why are you worrying about so much? You should think about how to solve your supplies problem first."

A silence fell between the two.

"I plan to leave the army."

"Hmm?" Kujo Masahito looked up at him.

"That Inazuma is hopeless; she's doomed sooner or later. I'd better run away before I get myself into trouble."

Seeing his former friend turn into this pathetic state, Kujo Masahito felt a complex mix of emotions.

Mixed feelings.

However, he has already given enough.

"I approve. From now on, you are free."

Kujo Masahito wrote a document and stamped it with his name.

"Take this, go back and get it stamped again, and that will be the end of it. Don't worry, with my name on it, they won't dare to make things difficult for you. From now on, you'll be just an ordinary civilian in Inazuma City."

"Chi~"

The former frontline general scoffed, did not take the document, and turned to leave.

"You can keep it and play with it yourself, I don't need it anymore."

Kujo Masahito frowned and shouted at his retreating figure, "Don't act rashly."

"I know what I'm doing. See you later~"

Kujo Masahito stared in the direction he left for a long time, and in the end, he simply shook his head.

Returning to his main task, he still needed to solve the problem of insufficient military supplies.

For the quartermaster, as long as Hikimura is sacrificed, and as long as no major chaos such as a riot occurs, he can muddle through this period.

Everything will be easier once he leaves Bayun Island.

However, things clearly didn't go as planned. The Shogunate army suffered a defeat, and now the front lines are under great pressure. I'm afraid I'll have to stay here permanently.

On the other hand, it just so happened that he and his friend went on an inspection tour, and the entire Hikimura village was relocated, which attracted their attention and caused the quartermaster's actions to be exposed.

The quartermaster slipped up, but the problem won't disappear.

"Those insects!"

He snorted again.

They've gone too far! They dare to falsify documents that they themselves personally signed and issued?

He immediately began writing letters to Kujo Takayuki.

When in doubt, call someone to solve the problem!

When Kujo Takayuki saw the letter, he felt another headache coming on.

"Zhengren is a talented military man, but it's a pity, alas."

Kujo Takayuki sighed, but still made the time to coordinate and send enough supplies to the front line.

Although it was much more than what Kujo Masahito reported.

If we want to get enough supplies to the front lines as soon as possible, we must first feed those people.

but……

"Hmph, some people are really talking nonsense."

He gets angry whenever he talks about these supplies.

Those were the Shogunate's army!

Even if we can't defeat Haizhi Island, surely we can defeat the other forces?

Surely you can manage to quell the chaos at sea, or at least protect the trade routes?

Most importantly, the three words "Shogunate Army" represent the "legitimate" lineage.

These three words can bring a general to the front lines at a crucial moment, something that nothing else can buy.

Therefore, the Shogunate Army remains one of the core forces of the Tenryo Regime. In the past, it was acceptable for them to exaggerate some numbers and embezzle some money; he would turn a blind eye and let it go. At least the soldiers could eat their fill and eat well.

Now things have really gotten this bad, haven't they?

It is necessary to issue a proper warning.

Chapter 117 Practicing Internal Energy

"This...this is our new home?"

On Haigi Island, the village chief of Hiki Village stared in disbelief at the cluster of two- and three-story buildings before him.

so beautiful!

One of the accompanying representatives couldn't resist going up to touch it.

It is a material that is similar to but different from stone, and it is unclear exactly what it is.

"Yes, this is our newly planned New Hiki Village. You can move in right away with your bags."

This is part of the new urban area originally planned for Haegeshima Island.

"It's just a pity that we don't have enough time, and we also lack the manpower and materials, so we can only put a layer of cement on the outside, which is not very aesthetically pleasing."

"Enough, enough!"

The people in the line were so excited that their hands were trembling.

This is worlds apart from their thatched wooden huts in the village.

It's already quite good to have one, let alone such a nice house.

It's all that publicity officer's fault. He only told everyone that there were houses available, but he didn't explain clearly that they were such good houses.

"What's that sealed-off area over there? It looks like our houses."

Jiang Ming looked in the direction the man was pointing.

"That place was used as a temporary reception area before, but then there was a coup, and it's full of traces of war. It needs to be cleaned and renovated, so it's been temporarily closed."

The discussion in Hikimura's group became lively again.

"What are our work arrangements for the future?" Some people in the team started to ask about the future.

"As you all wish, you are welcome to work at the local factory on Haizhi Island, the soon-to-be-built Tengdouzhai factory, and the Tengdouzhai farm. If you are willing to work at Tengdouzhai, there will be an additional subsidy for working in remote areas. However, we strongly advise against farming in the local saline-alkali environment."

"However, let me make this clear: if you violate factory rules and repeatedly refuse to correct them, the factory has the right to fire you, and I will not help you then."

Jiang Ming's last words were spoken to the people of Hikimura in a very stern tone.

The people of Hikimura, however, did not care at all.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang Ming. It's already a great privilege to have a chance to support your family. Such a thing will definitely not happen!"

"That's good." Jiang Ming nodded. "Please feel free to tour and discuss on your own. I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. Your contact person will be here shortly; you can ask him if you have any questions."

"Take care, we'll see you off."

"No need, no need, I can manage on my own."

After declining the kind offers from the Hikimura group, Jiang Ming turned around and prepared to leave the scene alone.

"Oh, by the way, this place will be electrified soon, and you can use some household appliances, such as light bulbs. However, you will have to pay for the electricity."

Remembering the planned time for the official power transmission, Jiang Ming, who had already turned around to leave, turned back and added a sentence to the people of Feimu Village.

While these people stood there looking at each other in a daze, Jiang Ming quickly left the scene.

Only after Jiang Ming's figure disappeared from sight did someone raise the question that had been on everyone's mind: "Electrified? What does that mean? And using electricity? Can we use electricity even without the Eye of God?"

The people of Hikimura definitely couldn't answer that question.

They simply stayed in place, discussing and offering their own conjectures.

Although they both knew that the other wouldn't know either, it didn't stop them from chatting enthusiastically.

Happiness comes too suddenly.

One moment they were worried about surviving because their land had been taken, and the next they were allocated better housing and a stable, easy job.

Although working on an assembly line for eight hours is hard to accept for many people with good living conditions, it is simply paradise for someone who has just escaped the backbreaking labor of working in the fields.

At least the physical labor isn't heavy, at least you don't have to be in the sun, and you don't have to depend on the weather.

Happiness is simply a matter of comparison.

They were overflowing with excitement, as if they had been hit on the head by a windfall, which was evident in their casual conversations with others.

It wasn't until the person in charge of the liaison arrived that they turned their attention to the two young comrades who had come to make contact.

"Hello, hello, welcome, welcome!!!"

The two who had just arrived at the scene were startled by the lively atmosphere and broke out in a cold sweat.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the other party was genuinely welcoming them and that they could ask them questions.

That was terrifying! I thought some serious public incident had occurred.

The authorities are cracking down on this very hard right now. If someone comes over and immediately gets such a huge burden, their life might be over (sad).
