Chapter 363 133: It’s not treason
“Forget it, it’s all over, let’s not mention it. I heard that Sasaki-senpai is also in Fukushima. You can meet him to get together. I have to rush to transfer after landing. I won’t go.”
Tanaka took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and took the initiative to change the topic.
"Senior Sasaki has also retired? Is the military willing to release him?" Sasaki is from an academy and has a high military rank. It stands to reason that the Maritime Self-Defense has suffered heavy losses. If it is rebuilt in the future, talents of his level will already belong to With the core strength, there is a high probability that he can at least become a captain.
Although it is understandable to give up like this, it is also a pity.
"He is one of the scapegoats. Do you think that for such a serious lapse in command, Commander Yoshida Hide's suicide will solve the problem?" Tanaka shook his head and sighed, "Some people from the middle level must be picked out to take responsibility, even if No matter how short of talent they are, they may not really need them.”
"Senior Sasaki is lucky. He is inconspicuous among the scapegoats, so he just retreated. Some of them have been tried by military courts and have already entered."
Kawakami has nothing to say. He didn't expect it to be rare. Meeting an old friend and hearing all the bad news made him feel heartbroken.
Although there was a lot of bullying in the team, at least the people he met in his group were quite good, and there were even rare species who sincerely served the country.
The drive was long. After they chatted for half an hour, the joy of reunion was gradually dampened by reality, and then they fell asleep in the car in tacit understanding.
Cars stopped and went, and the partial paralysis of the railway system increased the burden on the roads, which also made Kawakami slightly uncomfortable after having not used this kind of transportation for a long time.
“Kawakami, Kawakami”
After passing a stop and going to the toilet halfway, Kawakami fell asleep unknowingly during the second half of the drive.
"Have we arrived yet?" Kawakami sat up straight and looked out the window. It was already night, and rows of street lights were lit around him, reflecting the unfamiliar street scene.
"Well, it's time to pull into the station. I'm still rushing to change trains. If we have a chance in the future, let's have a drink together." Tanaka packed his luggage, said goodbye to Kawakami, and left in a hurry as soon as the car stopped.
Kawakami only brought a backpack and watched his old friend leave.
“It’s so cold.”
Stepping on the snow, he queued up for a taxi and rushed to the chain business hotel he had booked on the way.
"Asuka Chain Myingshen Store."
"Okay, guests, please sit down. There is water in the back row for free drinking."
Kawakami was a little stunned. He didn't expect that the rental service in Fukushima was so good. Any car would be treated as a special car.
Picked up a bottle of water out of curiosity, only to see a line of eye-catching words written on the bottle - Anger Public Welfare.
The name is a little weird, so he asked casually: "Is this water provided for free by this public welfare organization?"
"Yes sir, it is provided for free in catering and transportation. I heard that it is A group of local families have done a collective good deed. Look at the small words on the bottle. It says that if you collect five empty bottles, you can go to their Angxin Hall for a free emergency meal. "The driver said truthfully.
Kawakami's eyes narrowed and he turned to the back, and there was indeed such a line.
"Charity? It's interesting."
I didn't expect that on my first night here, before I even sat down to warm my buttocks, I discovered something.
However, this also shows that this Angry Hall has spread out and its power is not weak.
It is estimated that there is more or less connection with the local family, at least it is not difficult to get it.
“Nowadays, various churches are popping up in endlessly. If a customer encounters someone who strikes up a conversation on the street, most of them are missionaries. It doesn’t matter if they listen to them, but it will be troublesome if they fall into them.” The driver said a few more words.
Kawakawa glanced at the amulet of unknown origin hanging on the rearview mirror: "I thought you believed in that religion too."
"This?" The driver clicked on the amulet and shook his head, "The company If you ask, you can avoid a lot of trouble."
Kawakami understood, this was the protection fee paid by the rental company, or it was a way to put a flag.
If it is so obvious and penetrates so deeply, where is the Special Affairs Bureau? Where were you at this time? Is it because we found out that the Hui Xin Tang has nothing to do with the big family, so we just ignored it for the time being?
While he was deep in thought, the car arrived at the hotel.
"Please walk slowly."
After checking in, he rented the space for four days and went to the interview tomorrow. Then he would receive a three-day waiting message, and he would also be reimbursed for the fare and accommodation.
Although, in fact, it was just spending his money from beginning to end.
He entered the hotel room and took a shower, then went out and sat on the bed. There were two bottles of water on the bedside table, exactly the same as what he saw in the taxi.
Kawakami didn’t drink.
I turned on my phone and had a video chat with my sister and Ye to make sure they were safe.
After hanging up, he pulled out Sasaki-senpai's business card from the communication, looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock, and decided to call again tomorrow.
No words for a night.
Early the next morning, Kawakami Tatsuya packed up his clothes and information and set off for the scheduled interview at the company.
Just as he planned, the interviewer warmly received him, reimbursed his accommodation and transportation expenses, and asked him to wait for three days for notification.
Kawakami now had three days of free time to speak his mind without arousing suspicion.
"Hello, are you the Sasaki family? I am Tatsuya Kawakami, Sasaki Aoyama's former colleague. Ah, which hospital is it at? Are visits open? Okay. Thank you."
Kawakami Tatsuya hung up the phone and let out a long breath.
Without waiting, I stopped for a taxi.
“Go to Fukushima Mental Hospital.”
Ten minutes later, the taxi arrived at its destination.
Kawakami Tatsuya only felt that he was destined to the mental hospital. He also felt that the human spirit was designed to be too fragile. Of course, life was even more fragile.
“Hello, I am looking for Dr. Miyazaki to visit a patient he is responsible for, named Sasaki Aoyama. I am his friend and his family members have agreed to my visit. I should have contacted Dr. Miyazaki. Say hello.”
“Please sit down and wait, I will contact Dr. Miyazaki.”
A very capable old man in a white coat walked away quickly within a few minutes. come out.
"Are you Tatsuya Kawakami?"
"It's me, hello, Dr. Miyazaki."
"Well, Sasaki's situation is more complicated. He has been behaving very badly since he entered the hospital. Okay, I followed the arrangements, but it hasn’t gotten better. Are you also a member of the Haishi Defense Force?" Dr. Miyazaki suddenly asked.
"It used to be, I have been retired for almost two years."
"Well, he is in the yard. He should be commanding the formation now. You can observe from the side first, and then get closer. , see if he can remember you, and then we can talk about something less exciting. You can come to my office to talk before lunch, which is this one." Dr. Miyazaki pointed to his office along the way.
It seems that the situation is really not good. Kawakami Tatsuya came to the standard outdoor garden in the mental hospital, and saw Sasaki's presence at a glance.
At this time, he was wearing a white hat that he got from nowhere, almost lying on a big rock, with a long straight branch in his hand, and he was concentrating on Staring ahead, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"He imagined that he was the commander during the Battle of Tokyo Bay and was trying to turn the tide. I won't go there. If I am around, he will be wary. Please tell me Mr. Kawakami your chat in detail later. Just pass it." Dr. Miyazaki sighed.
Kawakami nodded and walked towards Sasaki's side, preparing to observe the other party's situation from a distance.
"Maya engages the enemy! Haguro, what are you hesitating about?! Fire! Don't be afraid of sacrifice, there is no victory without sacrifice!"
"Fell into the trap! The enemy fell into the trap! The cutting is completed, the advantage is mine !”
“Damn it, what are the Army and the Air Force doing? !”
“With the ship and the people, we cannot fail!”
Kawakami watched for a long time, Sasaki was completely immersed in his own world, as if he was in Tokyo Bay, Still under that blood cloud and rain, fighting with the joint fleet of resurrected undead.
He originally wanted to wait until Sasaki won or sank, but after waiting for almost an hour, it was still not over. He had no choice but to approach and say hello.
"Sasaki-senpai."

Sasaki, who was lying on the stone and screaming, seemed to have his throat suddenly strangled, and could no longer make a sound. He slowly turned his head to look at Kawakami in a daze.
"Do you still remember me? Sasaki-senpai?" Kawakami repeated.
But Sasaki still maintained that dumb look. Just when Kawakami frowned and took a step forward, Sasaki suddenly let out a sharp scream.
“Ahhhhh!!!”
The sound penetrated the sky directly, causing nearby patients and nurses to subconsciously look over.
The next second, Sasaki jumped down from the "flagship" and ran away quickly in one direction.
"Sasaki-senpai!"
Kawakami gave chase.
Sasaki was quickly forced into a corner by Kawakami, and then he hugged his head and curled up.
"Don't arrest me! Don't arrest me! I'm not treason, I'm not a traitor, I'm not living an ignoble existence!"
Kawakami kept a certain distance and did not continue to approach: "Senior, I It’s Kawakami Tatsuya, do you remember me?”
"Kawakami, Toshio, and Kimura. They are all dead. They can't be saved. It was the Prime Minister who wanted to escape. It was the Prime Minister who wanted to escape. Why was Commander Yoshida the last to die? Why? Why do you want to evacuate me? I To take revenge, let me take revenge against the devil!”
Sasaki was shaking all over, and his words were intermittent and quite incoherent, but Kawakami could still vaguely hear a line.
When facing the old Combined Fleet, the Prime Minister intervened in the command, resulting in an early defeat. After Commander Yoshida "committed suicide out of fear of crime", he was also affected and left the navy he fought for.
"Sir, please leave first. The patient is agitated and needs to be taken back to the ward." Several nurses stopped Kawakami and took Sasaki away.
He didn't resist, he just cried in a hoarse voice.
“I’m not a traitor, I’m not treasonous, I’m not.”
Kawakami was invited out of the courtyard, and then sat on a waiting chair nearby, quietly in a daze.
He can probably guess now that Sasaki was able to escape intact not necessarily because his status was not high enough, so he was deliberately let go, or because he was forced to use him to do something, such as perjury.
He knows very well what Sasaki is like. He is an idealist that he rarely encounters. He joins the army really to serve the country. He is full of enthusiasm at all times. He cannot stand the bullying in the team and has helped many people. He was a newcomer, but it also made him incompatible with many officers.
For such a person, it may be more uncomfortable to let him escape than to kill him. At that time, he was on the flagship that fled the battlefield in embarrassment. He could only watch the main fleet being destroyed one by one, and his former colleagues He sank one by one to the bottom of the sea, unable to do anything.
After the war, they would be splashed with sewage and cleaned up.
In this way, madness does not seem difficult to understand.
An idealistic man of action was forced to collapse by his superiors. He was deeply trapped in self-doubt and completely lost in it.
The appearance of his old acquaintance stimulated his guilt for the victims and shattered the illusion he had created for himself, so he became so excited.
Kawakami has reason to believe that Sasaki may be the last pure patriot in this country.
His heart became colder and colder.
This country is sick, very sick.
He is now extremely eager to get two seamless steel pipes to carry out a round of targeted treatment for this country.
What should I do with my sister and mother? If he wants to do this, he will inevitably be exposed. There is no doubt about this. He has no means to hide his face at all. He was able to kill several people without being traced by the Special Affairs Bureau. He may really be the mysterious man that day. of credit.
Who is that person?
Kawakami's brain quickly returned to calmness, and his emotions slowly calmed down.
A bottle of Coke was suddenly handed to him.
Kawakami looked up and saw Dr. Miyazaki.
"Drink some, I think you need some sugar."
"Thank you."
Kawakami took it.
Dr. Miyazaki took a bottle of coffee, sat next to him, and took a sip: "I went to check and Sasaki has regained his composure. Having said that, this is the first time he has had such an extreme reaction since he was admitted to the hospital. However, Even though he was agitated, he still did not act violently and obeyed our arrangements."
"It is his habit to obey orders." Kawakami took over.
“Well, I can’t say too much about the patient’s privacy, but I think you also know a lot about him. I have seen many patients and have been in this industry for decades. Accurate, but not far off, of course, only for mentally ill people.”
"I think he is a good person, and I don't want a good person who can contribute to society to spend his time in a place like this. So, can you tell me what happened between you and him just now?"
He has nothing to hide in this regard, he just keeps silent about his speculation.
"Actually, I just said hello to him. When he saw me, he ran away like crazy, and the nurse came after him. I think you also know."
"Well, it seems that it's you. It holds a lot of weight in his memory, or in other words, it’s people like you, and you’re just one of them Representative, it reminds him a lot. Combining his experience and your identity, I probably have some clues. Thank you, don’t underestimate what you told me. It’s very helpful.”
Dr. Miyazaki. He nodded casually, didn't say what he found, got up and left.
Kawakami continued to sit in his seat for a while before leaving with the bottle of Coke.
Outside the hospital, I found a trash can and threw away the Coke.
