"Grandpa, I want this place and this place!" Zhou Ke quickly pointed out an area in the northern part of Yingzhou and near Kagoshima.

This was a place he had considered a long time ago, especially Yingzhou, a strategic location, which was of vital importance in Zhou Ke's future plans.

"It's a good choice. Yingzhou has been colonized by the Empire for nearly fifty years, and the environment is relatively stable. Moreover, the commander of the base in the north of Yingzhou is going to be transferred soon. You can directly arrange for your confidant to take over there!"

"As for Kagoshima, the place where our family was revived, there are already several bases nearby. Grandson, you can choose between Kasahara Base and Kanoya Base. We will allocate a piece of land for you around the original base!"

Shimazu Nobuyoshi waved his hand and agreed to everything, and at the same time planned to directly assign the ready-made base in the northern part of Yingzhou to Zhou Ke. When Zhou Ke heard the name of the last base, his face couldn't help but become a little strange.

Zhou Ke had never heard of Kasahara Base, but he was very familiar with the name Kanoya Base. This base was later known as the largest base of the Kamikaze Special Attack Force of the former Japanese Imperial Navy during World War II.

"Grandpa, anywhere is fine. I just plan to use this base in the mainland as a logistics base." Zhou Ke said truthfully.

He really didn't care where he was assigned, as long as it was near Kagoshima for convenient supply. After all, the navy was much stronger than the army in terms of logistics support.

Especially after the framework of the Tiger Guard Division is set up in the later stage, a large number of ships including aircraft carriers will be moved out of the system space by Zhou Ke.

By then, Kagoshima will serve as his rear base, which will not only be very convenient for building some supporting factories, but also allow him to use the nearby naval aviation base to train a large number of personnel. You must know that the aircraft carrier in the system space carries aircraft!

"Grandson, let's choose the Kanoya base! You're right. The logistics of the Tiger Guard Division must be firmly in our own hands. Grandpa was originally going to remind you of this!"

At this time, Shimazu Nobuyoshi's eyes were full of admiration, and he was more and more satisfied with this grandson whom he had only recently recognized.

After the location of the base was determined, they began to discuss the candidate for the person in charge of the base. Needless to say, the Shanghai side was not a big place, and it was Zhou Ke's base, so Zhou Ke planned to manage it directly.

As the person in charge of the Kanoya base needed to be responsible for building the factory and training personnel, Zhou Ke, who had no experience, directly handed the task over to the retainer recommended by Shimazu Nobuyoshi.

"Grandpa, I plan to transfer General Saigo's assistant Colonel Jirokuro Ozawa to temporarily take charge of the base in the northern part of Yingzhou. I just don't know if General Saigo can give up his position." Zhou Ke suggested.

This was a choice he made after careful consideration. At the current stage, the navy base could only be managed by navy personnel. Compared with his more trusted confidants such as Yokoyama Isamu, Ozawa Jirokuro was the most suitable.

"So it's him. I know that young man. He is from our Shimazu family. But the base in Yingbei is a bit small. Sending a colonel there is a bit of a waste of his talent." Shimazu Nobuyoshi reminded.

Although the base in the northern part of Yingzhou has complete supporting facilities such as ports and airports, it is not very large and the original person in charge was just a lieutenant colonel.

"If the original base is too small, my grandson plans to expand it. My main concern is the reinforcements there!" Zhou Ke thought of a reason and replied.

Yingzhou is part of his future plan. What he is plotting is not just the current naval base, but the entire Yingzhou! This base will be the first nail he uses to penetrate Yingzhou and radiate the surrounding areas!

"Son, expansion is one thing, but the reinforcements from Yingzhou are not under the jurisdiction of our navy!" Shimazu Chinobu on the side reminded him.

He had been to Yingzhou in his early years. Although there were quite a few overseas Chinese and Chinese people there, the source of soldiers had always been controlled by the army.

"Father, don't forget the nature of the Tiger Guard Division. Reinforcement is not a problem at all! If the army dares to stop us, I will have the right to destroy their business." Zhou Ke explained with a smile.

"Yes! I almost forgot the special nature of your unit!"

Shimazu Chinobu slapped his thigh and remembered that Zhou Ke's Tiger Ben Division was not just the Navy's Tiger Ben Division, but nominally the Army's Tiger Ben Division.

"Haha, what a legitimate reason! That's exactly what should happen! Since the army always wants to get involved, they should do their part!"

"Grandson, just go ahead and do it. If Ando Rikichi of the Yingzhou Army dares to stop me, grandpa will bring the fleet to support you personally!" After hearing what Zhou Ke said, Shimazu Nobuyoshi smiled heartily and said very heroically.

"Sir, there is no need for you to do anything yourself. The Combined Fleet can always spare some manpower even if it is very busy!"

"The third, fourth, and fifth fleets are on standby at any time!" The retainers of the Shimazu family who were attending the meeting in the room echoed one after another.

............

After finishing the discussion, Zhou Ke and Shimazu Chixin left the yard surrounded by bamboo forest early because they were going to pay homage to Zhou Ke's nominal mother.

However, as soon as he passed through the bamboo forest, Zhou Ke felt a strong smell of blood. Looking up, the path outside the bamboo forest was already full of blood and corpses, turning into a living Shura field.

People were constantly carrying the bodies, but no one had stepped on the path in the middle that Zhou Ke had walked on before. There wasn't even a trace of blood on the path, as if someone had deliberately dragged the bodies there.

Shimazu Chinobu continued walking forward as if he saw nothing. Zhou Ke frowned slightly and followed behind, enduring the disgusting and nauseating smell of blood.

"Son, do you feel sick? You need to adapt slowly. Even though those people are related to us, if they get the chance, they will show no mercy if they really start to attack us." Shimazu Chinobu said comfortingly.

Although he seemed calm, his stomach was actually churning. Shimazu Chinobu had never expected that Shimazu Nobuyoshi would be so decisive in order to stabilize his family, and so many relatives were executed.

"Father, are these the same people who attacked us before?" Zhou Ke asked.

"Of course not. Those who attacked us are not qualified to be here. The one on the left side of the road is the mastermind behind the attackers, and the one on the right side of the road is the mastermind behind the so-called mastermind behind the mastermind!" Shimazu Chinobu explained while trying to suppress his nausea.

"Oh, it's too rough. Although these people died without making any noise, the way they were handled is really smelly..." Zhou Ke couldn't help but complain as he looked at the people who were digging holes in the yard to bury the bodies.

He told Shimazu Chinobu about the crematorium at the Matsuda Military Police Regiment. Although it was not very environmentally friendly, it did not smell so bad. Moreover, the ashes could be reused, which was much better than burying them on the spot as fertilizer.

"Is it true that the raw materials of the Yokoyama brand seasoning produced in your factory contain ashes?" Shimazu Chinobu asked in surprise, as if he had thought of something.

"Slander! Father, you can't believe the rumors! I also plan to promote Hengshan brand seasoning in our navy!" Zhou Ke quickly defended.

"Hurry up, I believe you, but I can't bear it any longer!" Shimazu Chinobu's face turned pale and he unconsciously quickened his pace. He felt that the food he had eaten before had reached his throat.
