Chapter 33: Leaving Japan

Chapter 33

Coming to Tokyo again in 1941, Zhang Lie realized that things seemed to be a little too perfect.

The East China Front, led by Hatohiko Asakamiya, launched a fierce attack on the garrisons in the Tokyo area, and at the same time, Hatohiko began to liaise with all levels of society, and his purpose was clear. All the immediate family members of Japan's self-righteous emperor were assassinated, while the rest of the Japanese imperial family were either not famous or old. And Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, who was in his heyday, tried in vain to become the new emperor.

Several garrison divisions in the Tokyo area tasted the sweetness of this riot, not to mention that they had looted many banks and large accounts, and they naturally hoped that Japan would continue to be under their rule and establish a military government.

At a time when these two factions were fighting, there was also a faction, represented by democrats, who hoped that Japan would take this opportunity to abolish the emperor system and become a democratic country like the Virtue Law. At the same time, they are also actively contacting the Japanese troops abroad, hoping to support them when they return.

And Matsui Ishone, who has been on sick leave in Tokyo, saw that Japan was in chaos, and various forces appeared on the scene, and began to run for his future. Matsui Ishine was also alive at the moment, remembering that he was still serving as the commander-in-chief of the North China Front. Matsui Ishine immediately secretly ordered the North China Front to return to China quickly, if it was too late, the new Japanese government would not have his share of this delicious cake.

In fact, when Japan was in chaos, the North China Front had already fully retreated, and many divisions and regiments poured directly into the port of Tianjin, and the navy was forced to send them home.

The navy and the army have always been at odds with each other, so naturally they have ignored the army, and the confrontation between the two armies has repeatedly misfired. Matsui Ishone's order arrived, and he promised the navy a lot of benefits, so the navy agreed to escort the troops home.

The East China Front had already returned to Japan, and the North China Front had fled in a hurry. The Northeast Kwantung Army, which was not far away, was entangled, whether they would go back or not. As Japanese, they naturally want to go back and claim the highest power in Japan. At the same time, many generals of the Kwantung Army said that Japan would not be able to recover for at least 20 years after this campaign. And their Kwantung Army has already controlled most of the land in Northeast China, and it is completely possible to set aside the Japanese government and establish the Northeast region as their Kwantung Kingdom.

It's just that although this mention is tempting, the land in the northeast is vast and rich, and it is indeed a treasure land. But for now, Japan is no longer able to expand outward, and if they continue to occupy this place, they will be attacked by all the armed forces of the whole of China. Without the support of the homeland, relying on the industrial strength of the northeast alone, it was simply unable to support them to continue the war.

"Let's go back!! As Japan's strongest army, our Kwantung Army must return to the homeland, and only when we go back can we stabilize all aspects of power, otherwise Japan is likely to return to the Warring States period. ”

With the final decision of the commander of the Kwantung Army, the Kwantung Army quickly withdrew. It's just that before evacuating, a lot of things that are difficult to take away were left to the troops of the puppet Manchukuo, and for a time the puppet Manchukuo was almost armed to the teeth, and the troops reached 300,000, becoming the veritable largest force in the northeast. For the future Northeast Reconquest, a lot of variables have been added.

Zhang Lie had already left Fujita's old mansion, and he didn't leave on his own initiative. But by the time he returned to Tokyo, Fujita's old house had already been ransacked. Old Yamamoto is gone, and I don't know if he ran away or died.

But no matter what the result is, Zhang Lie doesn't care. Japan was in a commotion, and Zhang Lie was ready to leave Japan. If he stays any longer, although he can get a lot of good things, he doesn't like the chaotic society.

When I came to the port of Tokyo, it was crowded with people, shouting and crying everywhere.

Rich Japanese people packed their bags and prepared to leave Japan for the United States and other countries, and the poor people had no choice but to cry and beg for a ferry ticket.

On the other side, the Japanese soldiers with loaded guns disembarked one after another, and they still smelled of battlefield gunsmoke. It's just that at this time, the Japanese Imperial Army was full of sorrow, and Japan was in chaos. They can't wait to go back to see if their father, wife and children are okay. It's just that there is no order, and they can't go, and they still have to fight for their commander.

Zhang Lie walked slowly, towards a "Galaxy Star" passenger ship not far away, although he didn't have a ticket, but getting on the boat was a breeze for Zhang Lie.

Walking along the flow of people, from time to time I looked at the miserable Japanese around me, and now the Japanese are fleeing the famine to leave Japan and go to a place they think is safe.

Fortunately, because of Zhang Lie's appearance, Japan has not yet attacked Pearl Harbor, and the United States is still a neutral country at this time. Japanese people can still go to the United States, but if this thing is pushed back, the Japanese really don't know where to go.

"Sir, sir, please give us a ferry ticket. My young lady needs to go back to China, just one is enough! In the midst of the cacophony, a very sad female voice cried.

Zhang Lie frowned, he could hear that this person's Japanese was very non-standard, and could even be said to be lame. Look over and see a woman in a typical Chinese cheongsam kneeling in front of a balding old Japanese man, begging for a ticket. And next to her, a young woman dressed in Western style pulled the woman up and asked him to get up, while saying in standard Sunan dialect: "Xiaolian, don't be like this, I don't want you to be like this!" ”

Master and servant? This is 1941? The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is at a critical time, how can these two masters and servants be in Japan. If we talk about studying in Japan, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the vast majority of Chinese students were expelled from Japan.

Although he was very suspicious of the identities of these two people, for the sake of his compatriots, Zhang Lie still stepped forward. Pulled up the woman who was about to be molested by the old Japanese man.

At the same time, Zhang Lie kicked this old pervert with one kick. The old pervert was kicked away, and the people around him just looked at him in surprise, and then continued to do his own thing. Running for your life matters, who still has the mind to meddle.

However, after the old pervert was kicked away, his followers immediately wanted to trouble Zhang Lie, but in the same half a second, the two strong followers were also kicked away by Zhang Lie.

"Bastard! This is punishment for an old rascal like you! Zhang Lie scolded in standard Tokyo aristocratic Japanese, while bending down to search for the ticket hidden in the old pervert's waist and tear it to shreds in front of him.

"Ah~~"

Zhang Lie tore up the ticket, and everyone who saw this scene screamed, especially some poor Japanese, who were frantically chasing the falling tickets, hoping to put them together so that they could leave.

The old pervert looked at the scene in front of him in despair, and still didn't dare to imagine that he couldn't leave. This ticket was bought by him with a lot of money and almost half of his property. Even he left his wife and daughter in Japan just to leave Japan. Now that he had woken up, he was going to stay in this messy place, and he could lose his life at any moment.

Zhang Lie gave them a grim look again, and the next two followers hurriedly ran away.

"Thank you, thank you sir, it's just that you shouldn't tear up the ticket, a ticket is too precious now!" It was the woman in the Western-style white gauze skirt who spoke, and she felt sorry for Zhang Lie for tearing up the ferry ticket in her hand.

Zhang Lie listened to her proficient Japanese, and then looked at the woman in the cheongsam, she looked at the falling ticket in despair.

"Who are you? Why did you stay in Japan at this time? Zhang Lie speaks standard Mandarin, which is the language of the Beijing area.

When the woman heard Zhang Lie's words, she was obviously taken aback, and they thought that the man who helped them was an authentic Japanese. Unexpectedly, it was also Chinese, and I suddenly felt more cordial.

"My name is Zeng Xianyun, a student at Peking University, who was arrested by the Japanese army when I participated in the student movement again. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect the Japanese to know my identity, so they sent me to Japan and arranged for me to study at the University of Tokyo. This time in Japan, I took the opportunity to run out and prepare to return home. The woman made her business clear and coherent.

After finishing speaking, looking at Zhang Lie, she knew that Zhang Lie still wanted to ask her what identity.

However, Zhang Lie didn't ask her, but directly stared at her with a soul transfer, and easily asked what he wanted to know.

This woman really didn't lie, she was indeed a student officer of Peking University, and her identity was not simple. was actually the great-great-granddaughter of Zeng Guofan at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the Japanese also knew her identity and did not kill her, so they sent her to Japan and arranged her at the University of Tokyo, in an attempt to train Zeng Guofan's relatives to become Japanese.

After getting what he wanted to know, Zhang Lie put away the soul transfer ** and said directly to the two: "If you want to go back to China, just follow me!" ”

Zeng Xianyun was a little puzzled, how could she feel that her brain was in chaos just now, as if she had lost her mind for a short time, but she could only understand it as a temporary distraction.

However, hearing Zhang Lie's words, Zeng Xianyun was naturally very excited, and this compatriot in front of him really had a way. Pulled up Xiaolian, who was still paralyzed in the place, and said, "Xiaolian, okay, we can go back to China!" ”

Zeng Xianyun was very happy, and Xiaolian was also very happy, but soon asked cautiously, "Sir, can I go back too?" ”

Originally, as Zeng Xianyun's girl, she begged for a ticket, just hoping that the young lady could go back, she was ready to stay in Japan, and even prepared to die.

"What, don't want to go back? If you don't want to go back, you can stay, and there are people who don't like to kneel down casually, especially for Japanese people! Zhang Lie glanced at her, put down a sentence, raised his legs and left.

Zeng Xianyun knew that Zhang Lie was letting them both go, and she didn't care about Zhang Lie's words just now, such a man was attractive. Pulled up the lost Xiaolian and hurriedly chased Zhang Lie's footsteps.
