FIELD JOURNAL 1,1

 

Woke up at 05:00 Hours. Began my morning with a small green tea and half an hour of meditation before waking the troops for morning exercises. After finishing their exercises, I order them to relieve the night-force stationed on the gatehouse, keep and walls. 

 

Change of guard works flawlessly. For now I shall retire to my quarters and commence writing up orders for regiment in the coming months.

 

After finishing my orders and having them distributed to my subordinates, I inspect the Keep and salute my fellow servicemen as I pass every firing position and watchtower. Though Yong Ping takes no side in the war, every day as I peer over those walls I get a feeling of anxiety. That at any moment me and my soldiers must take up arms to defend Yong Ping and its citizens. A duty we are more than prepared for. I reflect under the guidance of my ancestors and hope that such a day must never come to Yong Ping and its peoples. And if said day comes that me and my men shall be ready and ensure that the sun shall set soon on the enemy forces.

 

Having finalized my inspection I head to the teahouse for a small sit down with my Executive Officer, Duizhu Watanabe. Together we spend the rest of our afternoon discussing combat training and further deployment of our troops while drinking our month’s salary away in the form of tea. As the hours pass and we conclude our discussions of business, I salute the Duizhu and move on to the barracks, where I meet with the General. 

 

Our talk ends with a formal salute. I then march on to my quarters where I retire at 22:30 Hours for a few good hours of rest before my day begins anew.
