I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 50: Throwing a stone into a well

Summered through the morning in discussions about catfish.

After dinner with Ma, I drove my crepe car to work.

Then he was rightly late.

Tokyo's traffic is in daily traffic jams at this time. If it weren't for Tokyo's well-developed rail transit, most commuters would be late every morning.

Tokyo's rail transit was built during the Meiji Restoration era. At that time, without rail and shipping, only ox carts could be used to transport heavy goods.

A typical example is the journey from the aircraft factory of Siling Heavy Industries to the airport where the test flight was carried out. The plane with its wings removed had to be pulled by an ox cart for two days, and then the wings were installed at the airport.

It is said that Siling Heavy Industry once planned to build a railway to transport aircraft, but at that time Japan was busy expanding its military and preparing for war, and had no spare money, so it could only continue to use bullock carts.

Even the famous Zero Battle was pulled by an ox cart to the flight test factory.

He Ma was a military fan all his life. At that time, after learning about these histories, military fans called Japan a poor imperialist.

Because of this feature in those days, some places that are very close to each other are also connected by railways, especially the railways between the two industrial towns.

After the war, the performance of automobiles was greatly improved, and many things could be transported by road. These railway lines that were originally freight transport were changed to passenger transport.

Tokyo has a very developed rail transit. There are more than 30 million people in the metropolitan area of ​​this city. The rail transit now has 2,000 kilometers. If Kamakura and other places around Tokyo are also included in the Tokyo area, the length will increase to 3,000. kilometer.

But where He Ma goes to work, because it is newly reclaimed land, rail transit is still under construction.

So it's normal to be late for work in a traffic jam.

He got out of the car with his horse and saw that Kishimoto, who was in charge of the training ground, was also late. He laughed and joked: "It's faster to go to Kamakura from downtown Tokyo than to our side. I can see that there is no rail transit. The place where it connects is the countryside.”

And the horse shrugged.

Then he saw Sakaki Kiyotaro walking towards the beach with a bucket from a distance, so he pointed and asked Kishimoto, "Why are you going, Mr. Sakaki?"

"Fishing. He usually has nothing to do with his daily work, so he mainly fishes, and occasionally comes to inspect the training ground."

Hema: "The chief officer takes the lead in fishing?"

"After all, we are usually very busy, and we don't go out once in a few years."

He Ma said "oh", and then tentatively asked: "Since I'm so busy, if I don't come to work..."

"You gotta get out here and do whatever you want, be a pay thief together!"

Stunned with the horse.

He doesn't want to be a salary thief, he's looking for an opportunity to look up Welfare Technology.

Kishimoto stared at Kazuma for a few seconds, then said, "Of course, after you get used to it, no one will say anything to you if you suddenly disappear during work. We all do it."

Kawama: "Is it okay to be so disorganized?"

"We are officials, and we are not the same as the soldiers below. The members of the mobile team are also on duty, and we do not need them."

Hema: "On duty?"

"Yes, be prepared for any emergencies. Generally, each team is on duty for a week, and the person on duty must live in that building over there."

Kazuma followed Kishimoto's gaze and saw a small two-story building that looked very much like the kind of low-rent apartment that can be seen everywhere in Tokyo.

"There are basic living facilities there. Although you can't go home, you don't need to participate in daily training. Only yesterday you and Nagano's training event will bring them over to watch the fun together."

He Ma: "Don't we have to take part in this duty? Who will command the mobile team when something happens?"

"Of course, the captain who leads the team on duty is in charge of the command. Don't worry, if we really want to dispatch, we must accept the actual command of the criminal police at the scene, and we will not let us decide what to do."

Kazuma: "That's it. To be honest, it's a bit of a surprise. When I think that it is our salary thieves who protect the peace of Tokyo, I immediately feel uneasy."

"Hey, there's nothing you can do about it. Think about it, is there any organization like the National Guard in other countries that goes to work every day like us? No, they are really paramilitary organizations, to live in the barracks.

"You think about the Soviet Union's internal defense forces, GRU or something, are there people like us who are stuck on the way to work every day?"

He Ma shook his head: "No."

"Now there are some people in us who don't want the words of our special forces, they just don't want to change from a 9-to-5 worker to a soldier who can only live in the camp every day."

He Ma frowned: "Is there such a thing? I thought that at least within the mobile team, everyone supported the reorganization."

"How is that possible! In fact, there are quite a few people who support the abolition of the mobile team, such as Nagano. After all, it is impossible to fire so many people from the mobile team after the abolition. Even companies are now employed for life, and the state organs will fire people. criticized."

He Ma laughed dumbly.

Kishimoto continued: "Companies may close down. Even if they are employed for life, there is nothing they can do if the company closes down, and the employees will have to lose their jobs. The Metropolitan Police Department will not close down. Therefore, if the mobile team is abolished, those of us must be in Re-employment in other units of the Metropolitan Police Department.”

He Ma followed Kishimoto's words: "So some people expect the mobile team to be abolished."

"Yes, after all, not everyone wants to die in this place where birds don't lay eggs. Of course, there are also people who hope to be adapted into special forces by means of mobile teams."

He Ma nodded, and at this moment he heard the sound of the little electric donkey's engine and turned his head curiously.

As a result, he saw Mayo riding a small electric donkey.

Kawama: "Ma Ye, is your electric donkey so strong?"

"I added a battery." Asano stopped in front of Kazuma and patted the additional accessories on the original back seat.

Kawama: "Is this illegal modification?"

Ma Ye compares He Ma with a V word: "No, because e-Donkeys are not motor vehicles, but power-assisted bicycles. It is illegal to carry people, but this modification is not illegal."

He Ma: "Your answer makes me think you are my alumni for a moment."

"No, I'm still far behind the legal jackals you produced at Dongda University." Mayo laughed, "I modified such a car immediately after receiving the transfer order. The little electric donkey is not afraid of traffic jams, it is used to This place is perfect for work."

He Ma: "You have a very bright mind."

"What are we doing today?" Asano asked, "Do you want to fight Yuji Tsukano again?"

"No, I shouldn't." Kazuma tilted his head, "Speaking of what should I do with this position?"

Kishimoto replied: "I usually teach them when there are kendo classes, and then I supervise their tactics. That's about it."

Kawama: "When are you going to take a kendo class?"

"Didn't you read the timetable? There are two classes a week, Monday and Friday."

"Is it only two sessions a week? Then I'm not very busy?"

Kishimoto patted Kazuma on the shoulder: "You can go fishing like Mr. Sakaki."

He Ma touched his head: "It's too busy! Yesterday, you were so serious about running your own forces in the mobile team, and I thought I was going to have a big fight."

"You've been drinking with us a lot now, and then we'll all be yours when the mobile team is abolished." Kishimoto teased.

Stunned with the horse.

At this time, Mayo put the car away and ran to the two of them: "What are you talking about?"

"Some daily business."

He Ma looked at Asano: "I am the instructor here, what position have you been put in?"

"Assistant instructor." Asano shrugged, "Probably bringing you tea and water?"

"Is the Metropolitan Police Department's funds sufficient enough to support a special inspection to bring tea and water?" He Ma complained.

"How do I know, but you see so many police officers who eat rice in the Metropolitan Police Department, they don't support them." Mayo responded.

Kishimoto gave a thumbs up: "Sharp, inspector Asano, you should probably be an investigative reporter. Stop talking, there should be an indoor training session this morning, and I have to go to the stadium."

Waving with Ma: "See you later."

Kishimoto waved his hand and walked to the training hall without looking back.

He Ma and Asano looked at each other and said, "When I got to the mobile team, I realized how the tax money was wasted."

"It's better than the Self-Defense Forces. Look at the tanks that the Self-Defense Forces have made that are outdated."

Kazuma: "The Type 74 is okay, it's not too backward, after all, even the German Leopard 1 is a streaking armor. The real problem is that the Type 74 is designed for people who are 1.6 meters tall. Don't go in."

In fact, the problem is not only the Type 74 tank, but the Japanese armored transport vehicle also has the same problem, that is, it was designed that Japanese soldiers will always be only 1.6 meters tall.

After all, these things were set up in the 1960s, when the Japanese government's custard supply plan had not yet come to fruition.

Mayo glanced at He Ma and sighed, "Your height can only be considered an exception."

"No no, you are wrong, your height is a special case. The average height of Japanese high school students today is not the same as it was twenty years ago."

Asano made a dissatisfied voice, but couldn't refute it.

Kazuma entered the office building while chatting with Asano.

In the corridor of the office building, he met Hashimoto from the Accounting Department. After greeting, Hashimoto lowered his voice and said to Kazuma: "The Kendo training hall should be empty now."

Wa Ma: "Aren't there any judo lessons and fighting lessons?"

"Not at the moment. In fact, even if there are these classes, you can use it to train there. If you win the Japan Championships, the Metropolitan Police can't continue to sit idly by. It will be a bit of a sign."

Kawama: "You mean, I can return to the Metropolitan Police by winning the contest?"

“At least accumulate some capital,” Hashimoto said.

Stunned with the horse.

You can meet many powerful swordsmen at the contest, and sparring should improve your kendo level.

I don't know when Soichiro Uesugi will get up, and I can't expect to solve it with a Rachel sneak attack.

It's definitely a good idea to raise your kendo level.

While Ma and Ma were contemplating this matter, the alarm rang suddenly.

He Ma raised his head nervously, but Hashimoto didn't care: "It must be a drill. Because the Accounting Department has not been notified, it is estimated that Mr. Sakaki, who is fishing, did it on a whim."

"Has there been such a precedent before?" He Ma asked.

"Yes, Mr. Sakaki ordered an emergency gathering because the fish he caught ran away before. He will carry a walkie-talkie with him, and he can call the command center of the mobile team at any time."

He Ma: "I see."

At this time, the siren was lowered a few degrees, and then some students came out through the loudspeaker: "There was a bank robbery at the Kasumigaseki branch of the Mitsui Bank in Tokyo, and the Metropolitan Police Department Command Center asked us to mobilize urgently."

Kawama looked at Hashimoto: "Mr. Sakaki's exercise also has a preset plot?"

Hashimoto: "Never."

The man on the radio said loudly, "This is not a drill, repeat, this is not a drill! Come and live the little ones!"

Turn around and run with the horse.

Hashimoto shouted: "Hey! Where are you going? As a member of the mobile team, you are going to the scene in our stormtrooper!"

Kawama: "Is there a place for me in the stormtrooper? What number should I take?"

Hashimoto curled his lips: "No arrangements have been made. After all, no one will think that we have a chance to be dispatched."

He Ma waved to Asano: "Let's go, partner."

"Oh!" Mayo replied energetically.

Let's go out with the horse first and use your parkour talents to get through a few obstacles.

Asano was shocked: "It's amazing, you really are a ninjutsu!"

He Ma didn't bother to correct him either.

When I ran to the parking lot, I saw the patrolman in the parking lot and shouted: "The police department, you go to the assembly!"

"At this time, you should be dispatched as soon as possible." Kazuma responded as he climbed over the iron gate of the parking lot.

Mayo arrived several steps slower than He Ma, and clumsily started to climb the iron gate.

The guard patrol silently opened the small door on the iron gate and looked at Asano with a foolish expression.

Asano jumped to the ground in embarrassment, nodded and said "thank you", then rushed through the small door to Kazuma's car.

He Ma had already got into the car and started the car and was about to drive away. Suddenly he remembered something, stretched his head out and shouted to Mayo who was running over: "Hey! Bring your little electric donkey into the car! "

"Ah?" Mayo looked surprised, "Why?"

"Just in case!"

Asano turned around and ran to his electric donkey, unlocked the lock and rode on, running all the way to Kazuma's crepe cart.

Open the back door of the car with the horse.

Asano directly lifted the front wheel of the electric donkey and drove up like this.

He took a photo of the door closing button with the horse and stepped on the gas pedal.

Asano rushed to the co-pilot's seat and loudly reminded: "The police department, your seat belt!"

He Ma grabbed the steering wheel with one hand, fastened the seat belt with the other hand, and instructed Asano: "Take a map, I don't know where the Mitsui Bank Kasumigase branch is."

Mayo glanced at Kazuma with a surprised look: "Sakurada Gate is right at Kasumi Pass, and the Prime Minister's Office is theoretically within Kasumi Pass. Why would the robbers rob the bank here? Do you think you have a long life?"

He Ma was speechless: "I don't know."

At this time, a call came from the police radio: "The mobile team command center calls all the mobile team."

Sounds like Sakaki Kiyotaro's voice.

"Congratulations on catching up with the mobile team's long-awaited official dispatch. The last dispatch was when our Kiryu and Instructor Ma made a big noise at the White Summit."

Muttering with Ma: "Why did you take me with you?"

Mr. Sakaki continued: "Although I think it is very likely that we will not be used in the end, but will be settled through negotiation with the robbers, but as civil servants, we must be worthy of our wages."

Asano: "Speaking like this at such a time will not lead to low morale?"

"All in all, everyone cherish this rare opportunity to be dispatched, and perform well." Mr. Sakaki ended his mobilization speech in a very discouraging manner.

He Ma has an uneasy expression on his face: "I've taken it~IndoMTL.com~ Shouldn't I say some warm words at this time?"

"Yeah, we also mentioned our salary. No one will risk their lives to subdue the robbers... No, the police department still has to sacrifice their lives to make up your annual salary of 8 million yuan."

Kawama: "My life is worth eight million? Or yen? I'll consider the dollar."

Asano was about to answer when the voice of the mobile team command center came over the radio: "The latest news, there was a shootout between the robbers and the police surrounding the bank, and they broke through the siege of the police and fled in two cars. They may have Equipped with automatic firearms such as the M16 and trained to shoot.

"All assault vehicles return to the base and change to B-type equipment!"

Asano glanced at Kazuma: "Are we going back?"

"Don't be silly, of course not."

He patted his holster while talking to the horse: "I'm not a toy."
