"Number Three, what did my uncle say?" Zhou Ke asked anxiously as he let Number Three into the house.

As soon as he received the latest appointment document from the Ministry of the Army, he sent a telegram to Songping Jiayuan who was far away in Shanghai, precisely about the matters in Shanghai.

The territory of the Matsuda Military Police Regiment and the pseudonym Matsuda Jinpei still have many uses. Zhou Ke does not intend to give up, so he asks Matsudaira Jiayuan to help preserve one or two.

"Your uncle said that the operation has been completed according to your request. No one can interfere in the territory of the Matsuda Military Police Regiment!" No. 3 replied.

"Very good! Only when the basic foundation is stable can development be smoother! Send a telegram to Mr. Yokoyama, and ideological education work must not be slackened!" Zhou Ke ordered.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out outside the room. No. 3 put his hand on the holster vigilantly. Eight or nine men in black appeared out of nowhere beside Zhou Ke.

"Number One, don't be so nervous. This is the Shimazu family. Unless someone brings an army to suppress us, I won't be in danger under normal circumstances."

Zhou Ke looked at the guard who suddenly appeared beside him and although he said so, he couldn't hide the satisfaction in his eyes.

Number One and Number Three, the family warriors who had followed him from the very beginning, were undoubtedly the people he trusted the most. Even the experts sent by the Matsudaira and Shimazu families later could not replace the position of these warriors in his heart.

"dong dong"

"Young master, the master of the house asked the old servant to inform you to go to the garden in the backyard." The person knocking on the door was the driver that Shimazu Nobuyoshi had sent to pick him up.

"Old man, what was that gunshot just now?" Zhou Ke asked as he opened the door.

"Master, that's the master paving the way for you. You don't need to be so vigilant in your own home."

The old man glanced around the room and found that there was no one else except No. 3 and Zhou Ke. He couldn't help but secretly admire Zhou Ke's subordinates who were as skilled as shadows.

"Alas, I'm afraid of being assassinated. If someone hadn't given me a turtle shell, the grass on my grave would be one meter long now!" Zhou Ke said helplessly.

He has never changed this mentality since the assassination in the hospital. Others who go into hiding are afraid of being killed by their superiors, subordinates, or even people around them, but Zhou Ke is afraid of being beaten to death by his own people.

"Hey, young master, you are almost at the same level as your father. You should form your general guard as soon as possible!" said the driver as he led the way.

"Of course, I really need to organize my guard as soon as possible!"

Zhou Ke paid no attention to the driver's suggestion. As early as when he was a lieutenant colonel, the size of his traveling entourage was already close to that of the powerful lieutenant general Matsudaira Yoshien.

It's no exaggeration to say that based on the firepower and number of his guard team at the time, it was more than enough to fight a small siege.

Carrying a rifle and a heavy machine gun with you when going out to a banquet is too rare a thing. Apart from the three detectives, there is probably no one else in the whole Shanghai who does this.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ke looked at the space warehouse in his mind and began to imagine the future unconsciously. By that time, as a naval vice admiral, it would not be too much for him to have several aircraft carrier formations escorting him at sea, right?

It was just a question of how to arrange the Kagerou-class destroyers painted with the Yukikaze pattern. It would be a bit of a waste to leave them in the warehouse to collect dust. But if he took them out, he was worried that the Yukikaze was too big, and the average fleet might not be able to bear it after the accumulation.

"Young Master, we have arrived. I will not accompany you into the yard. I have other things to do later!"

The driver's voice brought Zhou Ke back to his senses, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the backyard gate.

"Why are there so many people in this yard?" Zhou Ke asked in confusion as he looked at the men, women, old and young, wearing traditional costumes kneeling beside the path in the middle of the yard.

"They are here to confess their crimes. Young master, take your men and go directly to the inner room to find the head of the family." The driver waved his hand indifferently, indicating that Zhou Ke did not need to pay attention to other people.

Without much hesitation, Zhou Ke walked straight into the yard with No. 3. The men, women, old and young who were kneeling on both sides of the road raised their heads as they looked at Zhou Ke who walked into the yard.

Most of them looked at Zhou Ke with eyes full of anger, unwillingness, and resentment. Of course, there were also many people who still lowered their heads and did not look at Zhou Ke who passed by them.

After a while, Zhou Ke walked past the crowd and entered a small courtyard surrounded by bamboo forest. As he entered the courtyard, the gate of the courtyard was closed, isolating the malicious eyes outside.

Arriving at the spacious and elegant house in the center of the courtyard, Zhou Ke discovered that Shimazu Nobuyoshi, Shimazu Chinobu, and some familiar but unknown retainers of the Shimazu family were already waiting in the house.

"Zhen Ping, come and sit down. Have you finished dealing with your matters at the Ministry of the Army?" At the invitation of Shimazu Nobuyoshi, Zhou Ke sat down in the empty seat next to Shimazu Nobuyoshi.

"Grandpa, everything has been dealt with. Now all that's left is to set up the Tiger Guard Division!" Zhou Ke replied following Shimazu Nobuyoshi's words.

"You're quite quick. The army guys didn't make trouble. I thought they would take the opportunity to make things difficult for you!" Shimazu Nobuyoshi didn't expect the army to be so efficient this time.

"Grandpa, after I went to the Army Department, I shouted slogans very loudly. There was no reason for them to make things difficult for me!" Zhou Ke explained.

"Haha, Zhen Ping, you did a good job on this point. You know how to adapt and don't care about verbal gains and losses. Come, take a look at the map behind me." After praising him, Shimazu Nobuyoshi raised his hand and pointed to the world map behind him.

This map was different from the ones Zhou Ke usually saw. It clearly marked the areas currently ruled by Japan, and even the areas where the army and navy had a greater influence were clearly marked.

"Grandpa, what is this?" Zhou Ke looked up and carefully examined the map and asked in confusion.

"It's time to pick a place as the base for your Tiger Division. Apart from those purple areas, you can choose any other place!"

Shimazu Nobuyoshi said this with great pride, and the purple areas he mentioned were precisely the unstable war zones.

"Can I choose anywhere? Can I choose two more?" Zhou Ke asked in surprise. There are quite a lot of places on this map!

"Zhen Ping, you can't bite off more than you can chew. Pick one piece first, and the others can be dealt with after you have formed your Tiger Guard Division!" Shimazu Chinobu reminded with a smile.

"Grandpa, father, I wonder if I can continue to serve as the commander of the Shanghai Submarine Force after becoming the commander of the Tiger Division?"

"If possible, I would like to use the area originally under my jurisdiction in Shanghai as my base for development," Zhou Ke explained.

"Of course you can, but the jurisdiction of Shanghai is too small. It would be a bit too crowded for your entire division to be placed there!"

"Tell me what piece of land you like? Grandpa will allocate it to you!" Shimazu Nobuyoshi didn't care at all about his grandson's behavior of taking more than he wanted. Instead, he continued to ask in an encouraging tone.
