Since he was woken up, Xu Yan couldn't sleep. He turned on the TV, and he didn't know which news channel it was, and he was still broadcasting the search operation of the Ginza Self-Defense Force.

On the TV news, a news reporter wearing a steel helmet held a microphone and chattered non-stop at the camera, but Xu Yan couldn't understand a word. Behind the announcer, tanks and armored vehicles drove by, and soldiers armed with automatic rifles followed, cautiously as if they were facing a great enemy—if you didn't know, you would think this was some war-torn country in the Middle East.

Xu Yan opened the curtains and looked out the window at the morning view of Tokyo, a beautiful and prosperous city, where high-rise buildings near and far were sleeping in the morning light, and Tokyo Bay was still silent in a quiet sleep.

Xu Yan looked in the direction of Ginza, the dense high-rise buildings blocked his vision, and he could only vaguely see some small black dots circling and flying under the red sky, which were helicopter groups that were guarding and searching in the air.

Xu Yan laughed in his heart: In a place as big as Ginza, the Self-Defense Forces are tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, and even spy satellites have been dispatched, so after tossing all night, it turns out that the search has not been completed?

At this time, there was a knock on the door behind him, Xu Yan went over to open the door, Zhu Youxiang appeared at the door neatly dressed, she smiled at Xu Yan generously: "Son, early!" Disturbed! ”

Xu Yan smiled and let go of the door, and said with a smile: "What's the case, Xuan Yun, please come in-so early, you also got up!" ”

"yes, it's too noisy to rest."

Zhu Youxiang also came to the window and looked into the distance, her eyesight was obviously better than Xu Yan's. Seeing the helicopter group in the distance at a glance, she was surprised: "Huh." The Japanese officers and soldiers are still searching! ”

Xu Yan walked over to the TV and turned up his voice. Suddenly, the sound of a television echoed throughout the room. Xu Yan was trying to prevent the Japanese from installing bugs in his room -- the sound of the TV was turned up, and even if the Japanese wanted to eavesdrop on his and Zhu Youxiang's conversation, they would not be able to.

At this time, Xu Yancai smiled and said: "Yes, we know that the vampire demon was killed, but the Japanese government, they don't know!" Just let them get on with their work, hehe! ”

Zhu Youxiang frowned slightly. She said lightly: "Childe, although Japan is not your country, we should be unanimous in our stance of resisting monsters - gloating, beggar-thy-neighbor, I am afraid it is not a gentleman's doing." ”

Being criticized by Zhu Youxiang for not being a gentleman, Xu Yan was a little embarrassed, but he was not convinced, he said: "Xuan Yun." You are not us Chinese, you do not understand, the grievances between us and the Japanese, you do not understand our national feelings. Historically. Japan is a country that has done us very badly......"

Xu Yan briefly introduced the history of the war of aggression against China to Zhu Youxiang, and when it came to the Japanese war of aggression against China, Xu Yan was very embarrassed: that tragic and many sacrifices were made. It is the grief in the hearts of every Chinese son and daughter in modern times, and it is the most tragic and painful page of the history of the Chinese nation.

"Actually. Historically, the grudge between the Japanese and us Chinese is deep. Although everyone says that China and Japan are friendly, the relationship between the two countries is not very good -- well, it should be said that it is very bad.

Over the Diaoyu Islands and over the issue of historical understanding of the war of aggression against China, our two countries have often quarreled. In particular, after the new Japanese prime minister took office, his attitude towards us was very unfriendly, and the relations between the two countries deteriorated even more. Because of this relationship, of course, I don't want to help them. ”

Zhu Youxiang nodded, she said thoughtfully: "I see, no wonder I see that Xu Gongzi's attitude towards the Japanese is not very good, and the attitude of those Japanese officials is also like this - although he is polite and can't find anything wrong, he is very indifferent in his bones, and he has a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away."

By the way, Xu Gongzi, you said earlier that the Japanese had invaded your country before? However, I find it incredible: the Japanese have only a small amount of land, and your country is vast and has a large population, and your country is ten times larger than the Japanese in terms of population, land, and strength, so how could it be that the Japanese invaded your country? How can there be such a reason in the world to bully the strong with the weak? I think that things should be reversed, and it should be common sense that your country wants to annex Japan. ”

Zhu Youxiang's question made Xu Yan even more embarrassed and puzzled: "Yes, according to population, land and products, China is ten times that of Japan!" But why, in history, it is we who have been repeatedly and passively invaded? The Battle of Baijiangcun in the Tang Dynasty, the Renchen War in the Ming Dynasty, the First Sino-Japanese War and the Eight-Nation Coalition in the Qing Dynasty, and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in World War II -- what went wrong in the middle? ”

Why is it always Japan that invades China and not China that invades Japan?

Xu Yan is not a student of history, and he doesn't know how to explain this problem -- of course, if it were those simple-minded people, they would say that it was because "the government was incompetent and weak at that time, and the army was greedy for life and afraid of death" and so on -- but now, having experienced a lot of things, Xu Yan vaguely felt that none of these reasons were the real answer.

"After eight years of hard work, we finally defeated the Japanese invaders and won the victory, but now, not only do the Japanese refuse to apologize, but also put the tablets of the war criminals in the shrine to pay respects, and tamper with the historical records of the war of aggression of that year, so of course we refuse to agree!"

Xu Yan said impassionedly, and Zhu Youxiang's reaction was only a faint smile: "Young Master Xu, how long ago was that war?" ”

"This? The Japanese surrendered in 1945, and it has been almost 70 years now. ”

"Seventy years...... I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, but I'm afraid my opinion is a little different from yours. I think that the past has passed since it was in the past. The so-called gentleman's ze, three generations and beheaded, that is to say, no matter how great the merit or sin, there are three generations of hard work, and it is almost consumed. Seventy years of hard work is almost three generations. Now I still hold the Japanese accountable for the sins of their ancestors, I don't think it makes much sense.

Xu Gongzi, even if the Japanese offended your country back then, but since your country has won. Slaughtered their capitals and killed hundreds of millions of them in revenge. No matter how big the grudge is, it should be dissipated, and it will still hold on after seventy years. No wonder the Japanese are disgusted now, because after 70 years, your country is still too narrow. ”

Xu Yan was dumbfounded, and he interrupted Zhu Youxiang very impolitely: "Xuan Yun, slow down!" You just said that we slaughtered the Japanese in Tokyo and killed hundreds of millions of civilians -- what is this going on? ”

Zhu Youxiang looked surprised: "Young Master Xu, isn't this what you just said?" Didn't you say that in the Japanese war of aggression against China, the ultimate winner was your country? ”

"I said that. China is the victor, but we did not massacre Tokyo, nor did we massacre Japanese civilians in retaliation! ”

Zhu Youxiang looked confused, and she said, "Gongzi Xu, how is this possible?" Your country has suffered such an invasion, with so many casualties that even the capital has been slaughtered, and since it has been blessed by heaven to win the war, how can your country not retaliate?

Don't. Haven't you done such a thing? ”

Xu Yan touched his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Yes, we haven't done it at all - we haven't slaughtered Tokyo." I have never been killed in Japan. In fact, our troops never landed on the Japanese archipelago at all, and even gave up the Japanese reparations. ”

Zhu Youxiang was surprised: "What? Neither slaughter nor revenge? That. As a victorious country, how did you take revenge on Japan back then? ”

Xu Yan frowned and thought for a while. He really couldn't remember how China, the victorious country, took revenge on Japan, the defeated country. He muttered, "I remember." It is as if at that time the victorious powers set up a Tokyo tribunal and hanged some Japanese war criminals...... I don't remember if there were a few or a dozen, I can't remember......"

Zhu Youxiang was very shocked, she lost her voice and said, "Gongzi Xu, are you sure?" Didn't slaughter the city? Didn't kill? Have you ever cut the land? Those Japanese soldiers who committed heinous crimes, did they just let them go home? ”

Zhu Youxiang covered her forehead and made a miserable expression, and then, she shook her head and said, "Childe, let's be honest, you said that your country is the victorious country of Japan...... I don't dare to believe this: a victorious country with tens of millions of dead and wounded soldiers and civilians, and a deep hatred of blood and seas, actually does not retaliate, does not massacre, does not cede land, does not punish the clan, does not cast a view of Beijing, and does not cede land -- can there be such a victorious country in the world? ”

Xu Yan was speechless, but in his heart he felt very cowardly and suffocating - yes, is there such a victorious country in the world? It is still illegally occupied by the defeated country! Such a victorious country can be regarded as a miracle in the history of mankind.

Zhu Youxiang showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, she shook her head and said: "Childe, in fact, I think that now, your country has been asking the Japanese side to stop visiting the shrine and ask them to face history squarely and apologize. Such a sea of blood and hatred, but you are entangled in these small details, the thoughts of your country...... It's hard for me to understand. You must know that what Japan owes you is not an apology, but a blood debt! ”

Xu Yan was speechless, and he asked: "Xuan Yun, if such a thing happens in your Ming Empire-uh, if a neighboring country violates you and commits such a crime, then how will you respond?" ”

Zhu Youxiang raised her eyebrows, she said lightly: "If there are really barbarians who dare to offend our Heavenly Dynasty and create such a monstrous blood debt, our Dynasty will plough the court and sweep the holes, destroy its country, raze its clan, behead its men, raise its women and children as slaves, pull out its temple, destroy its society, and then strictly implement the king, and turn it into my Ming territory - tooth for tooth, eye for eye, my dynasty pursues this way!"

Decades later, the barbarian kingdom is gone, the tribe is dead, is it necessary for me to go to their descendants to argue, and ask them to apologize or apologize? ”

Listening to Zhu Youxiang's words, Xu Yan only felt a pride churning in his chest: Yes, this is the spirit and character that a great country should have! This is the arrogance that Huaxia should have!

We have also had such a decisive and daring era, we have also had the courage to step on the horse and return to the sky, in the Han and Tang dynasties of our nation, we have looked down on the world, and all countries have come to the dynasty! But in modern times, our nation has lost the courage to look down on the world, and for a beast nation that has killed tens of millions of of our compatriots, what we ask is only to ask them to "correctly understand history and sincerely apologize to the Chinese people"? And even such a humble request, which the other side rejected with disdain, made us suffer humiliation in front of the whole world?

Xu Yan looked out the window at Tokyo. Xu Yan clenched his fists tightly and pursed his mouth tightly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The days that followed. Thanks to Wen Xiuzhi's care, Xu Yan lived a carefree and leisure life in Japan.

During the day. Xu Yan took Zhu Youxiang and Huang Xi to the street to hang out for shopping and sightseeing -- Lieutenant Colonel Xu did this, of course, he was not simply shopping, he was using shopping and sightseeing as a cover to collect clues about the Ginza monster incident -- Xu Yan planned to write a report like this after he returned.

Of course, in order to be worthy of those public funds, Xu Yan still has to do some necessary work.

On February 5, four days after the Ginza incident, I heard that the lockdown in Ginza had been lifted. Xu Yan took Huang Xi and Zhu Youxiang to Ginza District to visit the Ginza District after the fierce battle.

Before going, Xu Yan was worried that the Japanese government would block the Ginza district and prevent him from entering. As a result, Xu Yan went over there to take a look, fortunately, the blockade had been lifted, but most of the town area in the once prosperous city center of Tokyo was now in ruins, with rubble and rubble everywhere, and many high-rise buildings had collapsed. Only half of the broken building remained, and the prosperous scene full of charm was no longer visible - the devastated scene made Xu Yan feel that he had come to the site of the ruins after the earthquake.

Although the Ginza district is no longer what it once was, one thing remains the same - there are still many people! As Xu Yan saw. In addition to the sanitation workers and firefighters who cleaned up the rubble, most of the people who appeared here were journalists from various countries carrying long and short lenses.

There are too many journalists here. There are tens of thousands of people -- Xu Yan believes that at least one-third of the world's media professionals are gathered here. Otherwise there could not have been so many people. Interestingly, in the crowd of journalists. Xu Yan also saw a group of reporters carrying CCTV logo cameras.

The faces of reporters from all over the world are similar, all of them look energetic and curious, holding cameras to shoot from side to side, and even overturned garbage cans and broken trees can be photographed by them several close-ups. Whenever they saw a two-legged animal panting by, they rushed up and shouted, "Hello, can you interview me?" Can you tell us what you think about the Ginza monster incident? We won't waste a lot of your time, just a few minutes at most! ”

Xu Yan led the two girls all the way, he had been intercepted and harassed by these reporters many times, and then there was no way, Xu Yan simply retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, and whenever someone with a camera and a microphone approached, he immediately preemptively shouted loudly: "Hey, man, can you talk about your feelings?" What do you think of the Ginza Monster incident? ”

Seeing that Xu Yan is peers, the other party will generally leave disappointed, and Xu Yan has gained some clarity.

Xu Yan's purpose in entering Ginza was to find the corpse of the monster that night - Zhu Youxiang said that she burned it, but Xu Yan did not give up: what if there were a few bones that were not burned clean? If you can take a few photos or pick up a few pieces of wreckage and go back, it would be good to go back and see Wen Xiuzhi. But when he arrived in Ginza, he was immediately discouraged when he saw such an overwhelming group of reporters - so many reporters gathered here, not to mention the corpse of the monster, even a dinosaur had already been divided up by everyone.

Xu Yan led the two girls for a walk, but in the end they found nothing. There was no way, in order to go back and have something to deal with, Xu Yan could only follow the example of other reporters, holding his mobile phone and taking pictures of the broken tiles and broken wall ruins - no matter what, this is also on-site information!

Huang Xi was careful, and she reminded Xu Yan to be careful of the reporters here. Many of the journalists here are not real journalists, but intelligence officers sent by various countries to gather intelligence. They used their identities as reporters to disguise themselves, but they actually came to find out the news.

Xu Yan said "oh", he looked at the reporter over there, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that everyone is really a peer!" ”

It took two hours to walk around Ginza, Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang had achieved success in cultivation, but they didn't feel anything, but Huang Xi already felt a little unbearable. In order to take care of her, Xu Yan chose an open-air café on the side of the road to sit down and rest. This café is set up on the side of the road, covered with tarpaulins to block the sun, and the tables and chairs are placed in the greenery, which looks very relaxed.

Xu Yan, Zhu Youxiang and Huang Xi were chatting casually, when suddenly a girl behind him said to him in English: "I'm sorry, this gentleman and two young ladies, can you take up a few minutes of you?" ”

Xu Yan didn't need to look back to know that it must be a reporter from which country he came. He didn't even bother to raise his head, and said lazily: "Huang Xi, ask this guy, what do you think of the Ginza incident that night?" Ask her if she has time for us to do an interview? ”

Before Huang Xi could speak, a cry of joy came from behind him: "Ah, it turns out that you are Chinese!" Are you also a media professional? This time, the other party spoke in pure Chinese.

For those foreign devils, Xu Yan can be arrogant, but when it comes to his compatriots, Xu Yan is not so arrogant. He turned his head to look over, and saw a beautiful tall girl with bright eyes and clean teeth and a ponytail standing behind him, looking at his group with a smile.

She smiled and said, "This gentleman, and these two ladies, are you also journalists?" I don't know which media is it? Do you want to interview me? Well, I'm very welcome, and I'm glad to be interviewed by you - but you'll have to treat me to a cup of coffee! (To be continued......)
