I teach kendo in Tokyo

The morning was spent comfortably discussing catfish.

After Kazuma finished his meal, he drove his crepe truck and went to work.

Then of course he was late.

Traffic in Tokyo is daily jammed at this time. If Tokyo itself had not developed rail transportation, most office workers would have to be late every morning.

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

One of the most typical examples is the journey from the aircraft factory of Siling Heavy Industries to the airport where the test flight took place. It takes two days to use an ox cart to pull the aircraft with the wings removed, and then the wings are reinstalled at the airport.

It is said that Siling Heavy Industries once planned to build a railway specifically 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 ox carts.

Even the famous Zero War was brought to the flight test factory by ox carts.

Kazuma has been a military fan all his life. After learning about this history, military fans at that time called Japan a desperate imperialist.

Because of this characteristic at that time, some places that were very close to each other were connected by railways, especially there were railways between 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 used for freight transportation were converted into passenger transportation.

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

But the place where Kazuma works is a newly constructed land, and the rail transit is still under construction.

So it's normal to be stuck in traffic and be late for work.

Kazuma got off the car and saw that Kishimoto, who was in charge of the training ground, was also late. He smiled and joked: "It's faster to go to Kamakura from downtown Tokyo than to our place. I can tell that there is no rail transit connection." The place is the countryside.”

Kazuma shrugged.

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

"Fishing. He doesn't have anything to do with his daily work, so he mainly fishes and occasionally comes over to inspect the training ground."

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

"After all, we usually have a lot of free time. We don't go out once in a few years."

Kazuma said "Oh", and then asked tentatively: "Since I am so free, if I didn't come to work..."

"You have to show up here and do whatever you want, let's be a wage thief!"

He Ma was speechless.

He doesn't want to be a salary thief, he wants to find an opportunity to check out welfare technology.

Kishimoto stared at Kazuma for a few seconds, and then said: "Of course, after you get to know each other well, no one will say anything to you if you suddenly disappear during work. We all do this."

Kazuma: "Is it okay if military discipline is so lax?"

"We are officials, which are different from the big-headed soldiers below. The members of the mobile team still have to participate in the rotation, and we don't need it."

Kazuma: "On duty?"

"Yes, in case of any emergencies, each team is usually on duty for a week, and the person on duty has to live in that building over there."

Kazuma followed Kishimoto's gaze and saw a two-story building that looked very much like the low-rent apartments 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 incidents like your sparring with Changye yesterday will bring them over to watch the fun together."

Kazuma: "Don't we need to participate in this duty? Then who will command the mobile team in case of an incident?"

"Of course, the captain on duty is responsible for the command. Don't worry, if we really need to go out, we must accept the actual command of the criminal police on the scene. We will not be allowed to decide what to do on our own."

Kazuma: "That's right. To be honest, it's a bit surprising. I immediately feel uneasy when I think that it's salary thieves like us who are protecting the peace of Tokyo."

"Hey, there's nothing we can do about it. Think about it, among the National Guard and other organizations in other countries, do any of them go to work every day like we do? No, they are really paramilitary organizations. They have to live in In the barracks.

"If you think about the Soviet Union's internal security forces, the GRU, etc., are there any of us who are stuck in traffic on the way to work every day?"

Kazuma shook his head: "No."

"Now some people within us don't want to talk about our special forces. They just don't want to change from working nine to five to soldiers who can only live in the camp every day."

Kazuma 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 many people who support the abolition of the mobile team, such as Tsuneno. After all, it is impossible to fire so many people in the mobile team after the dismantling. Now that even companies have lifelong employment, state agencies will be criticized for firing people. .”

Kazuma laughed dumbly.

Kishimoto continued: "The company may still go bankrupt. Even if there is lifelong employment, if the company goes bankrupt, there is nothing you can do. Employees can only lose their jobs. The Metropolitan Police Department will not go bankrupt. So if the Mobile Team is laid off, we people will definitely be in the Metropolitan Police Department." Re-employment in other units.”

Kazuma followed Kishimoto's words and said: "That's why some people hope that the mobile unit will be abolished."

"Yes, after all, not everyone wants to live their whole life in this inhospitable place. Of course, there are also people who hope to get the upper hand by reorganizing the mobile team into a special operations team."

Kazuma nodded. At this moment, he heard the sound of the electric donkey's engine and turned around curiously.

As a result, he saw Asano appearing on a small electric donkey.

Kazuma: "Asano, does your eDonkey have such a long battery life?"

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

Kazuma: "Isn't this illegal modification?"

Asano made a V sign with the horse: "It doesn't count, because the eDonkey is not a motor vehicle, but a power-assisted bicycle. It is illegal to carry people with it, but it is not illegal to modify it like this."

Kazuma: "Your answer made me think for a moment that you were my schoolmate."

"No, I'm still far behind your legal jackals produced by Dongda University." Asano laughed, "I modified one like this immediately after receiving the transfer order. The little electric donkey is not afraid of traffic jams and is used to go to work here. Just right."

Kazuma: "You have a very bright mind."

"What are we doing today?" Asano asked, "Shall we beat Yuji Tsuneno again?"

"No, it shouldn't be necessary." Kazuma tilted his head, "Speaking of which, what is my usual job in this position?"

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

Kazuma: "Then when are you going to take kendo lessons?"

"Didn't you see the class schedule? There are two periods a week, Monday and Friday."

"Only two periods a week? Then I'm not very free?"

Kishimoto patted Kazuma on the shoulder: "You can follow Mr. Sakaki's example and go fishing."

Kazuma rubbed his head: "This is too idle! Yesterday you had a serious discussion about running your own power in the mobile team, and I thought you were going to do something big."

"Now you are drinking and getting to know us more, and then when the Mobile Team is disbanded, we will all be your forces." Kishimoto teased.

He Ma was speechless.

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

"Some routine stuff."

Kazuma looked at Asano: "I am here as an instructor, what position have you been given?"

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

"Is the Metropolitan Police Department's funds sufficient enough to have a dedicated patrol officer to serve tea and water?" Kazuma complained.

"I don't know, but look at the many free-earning detectives in the Metropolitan Police Department, don't they just keep doing the same thing?" Asano responded.

Kishimoto gave a thumbs up: "Sharp, Inspector Asano, maybe you should become an investigative reporter. No more chatting, there should be an indoor training class this morning, and I have to go to the venue."

Kazuma waved: "See you later."

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

Kazuma and Asano looked at each other and said, "Only when we get to the Mobile Team do we realize how tax dollars are wasted."

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

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, and I can't get into it. "

In fact, it is not only the Type 74 tank that has problems, the armored personnel carriers used by the Japanese also have the same problem, that is, when designing, it is believed that Japanese soldiers will always be only 1.6 meters tall.

After all, these projects were established in the 1960s, when the Japanese government’s egg and milk supply plan had not yet yielded results.

Asano glanced at Kazuma and sighed: "With your height, you can only be considered an exception."

"No, no, you are wrong. Your height is an exception. The average height of Japanese high school students now is different from what it was twenty years ago."

Asano made a sound of dissatisfaction, but could not refute.

Kazuma entered the office building while chatting with Asano.

In the corridor of the office building, he met Hashimoto from the accounting department. After saying hello, Hashimoto lowered his voice and said to Kazuma: "The kendo training hall should be empty now."

Kazuma: "Aren't there any judo classes or boxing classes?"

"Not yet. In fact, even if there are these classes, you can use them to train. If you win the Japan Sportsmanship Championship, the Metropolitan Police Department can no longer sit back and ignore it. It will give some indication."

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

“At least accumulate some capital,” Hashimoto said.

He Ma was speechless.

You can meet many powerful swordsmen at the Players' Rights Tournament, and fighting against them should improve your swordsmanship level a lot.

We don't know when Uesugi Soichiro will get up, and then we can't expect to use Raikiri to solve the problem with a sneak attack.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with improving your swordsmanship level.

While Kazuma was thinking about this, the alarm suddenly sounded.

Kazuma raised his head nervously, but Hashimoto looked indifferent: "It must be a drill. Since the accounting department was not notified, it may have been a whim of Mr. Sakaki who was fishing."

"Is there any precedent for this before?" Kazuma asked.

"Yes, Mr. Sakaki was angry because the fish he caught ran away, so he ordered an emergency gathering. He will carry a walkie-talkie with him so that he can call the mobile team's command center at any time."

Kazuma: "That's right."

At this time, the sirens lowered a few degrees, and then a voice came out through the loudspeaker: "A bank robbery has occurred at the Kasumigaseki Business Hall of Tokyo Mitsui Bank, and the Metropolitan Police Command Center requires us to dispatch urgently."

Kazuma looked at Hashimoto: "Mr. Sakaki's exercises also have preset plots?"

Hashimoto: "Never."

The man on the radio said loudly: "This is not a drill, repeat, this is not a drill! Come on, kids!"

Kazuma turned around and ran away.

Hashimoto yelled: "Hey! Where are you going? As a member of the mobile team, you have to take our assault vehicle to the scene!"

Kazuma: "Is there a place for me in the assault car? What car number should I take?"

Hashimoto curled his lips: "We haven't arranged it yet. After all, no one will think that we have a chance to dispatch."

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

"Oh!" Asano replied energetically.

Hema ran out first and used his parkour talent to pass several obstacles.

Asano was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear: "That's amazing, you really are a master of Ninjutsu!"

Kazuma didn't bother to correct him.

When I rushed to the parking lot, I saw the patrol in the parking lot and yelled: "Police department, please go gather!"

"At times like this, we should dispatch immediately." Kazuma responded while climbing over the iron gate of the parking lot.

Asano arrived several steps behind Kazuma, and began to climb the iron gate clumsily.

The gatekeeper silently opened the small door on the iron gate and looked at Asano with an expression that looked like a fool.

Asano jumped down awkwardly, nodded and said "thank you", and rushed through the small door towards Kazuma's car.

Kazuma had already gotten into the car, started the car and was about to drive away. Suddenly he remembered something, raised his head and shouted to Asano who was running over: "Hey! Get your little electric donkey into the car!"

"Ah?" Asano looked stunned, "Why?"

"in case!"

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

Kazuma opened the back door of the car.

Asano directly lifted the front wheel of the eDonkey and drove up.

Kazuma pressed the button to close the door and stepped on the accelerator.

Asano rushed to the passenger seat and reminded loudly: "Police department, your seat belt!"

Kazuma grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and fastened his seat belt with the other hand. At the same time, he told Asano: "Get a map. I don't know where the Mitsui Bank Kasumigaseki Business Office is."

Asano glanced at Kazuma with a surprised look on his face: "The Sakurada Gate is in Kasumigaseki, as well as the Prime Minister's Office and so on. Theoretically, they are all within the scope of Kasumigaseki. Why would robbers rob banks here? It's too long. ?"

Kazuma was speechless: "I don't know."

At this time, a call came from the police radio: "The mobile team command center is calling the entire mobile team."

It sounded like Seitaro Sakaki's voice.

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

Kazuma muttered: "Why are you taking me with you?"

Mr. Sakaki continued: "Although I estimate that it will probably be settled through negotiation with the robbers without us in the end, but as civil servants we must be worthy of our wages."

Asano: "Wouldn't it lead to low morale if you say something like this at this time?"

"In short, everyone should cherish this rare opportunity and perform well." Mr. Sakaki ended his mobilization speech in a very discouraging way.

Kazuma looked uneasy: "I'm convinced, shouldn't I say something passionate at this time?"

"Yes, we also mentioned our salary. Now no one will risk their lives to subdue the robbers... No, the police department will supplement your annual salary of eight million, but you still have to risk your life."

Kazuma: "My life is worth eight million? Or yen? Let me consider dollars."

Asano was about to answer when the voice from the Mobile Team Command Center came over the radio: "The latest news is that there was a gun battle between the robbers and the police surrounding the bank, and they broke through the police siege and fled in two cars. They may be equipped with M16s Automatic firearms and have received shooting training.

"All assault vehicles return to base and change into Class B equipment!"

Asano glanced at Kazuma: "Shall we return?"

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

Kazuma said, patting his holster: "I'm not a toy."
