Chapter 5 Join in the fun
It doesn't matter whether Scarlet Village Sword and Rukawa Feng are grandchildren or not, Rukawa Feng gave up his sword on the spot and admitted defeat, which was really unexpected.
Not many people know the internal relationship between Drawing Sword and Ryu Ryū, but Yasutaro Hashimoto can know a thing or two, which is related to the duel between Kenjiro and Yutaka Rukawa more than thirty years ago.
At that time, Yutaka Rukawa was young and vigorous, and he was called the Black Dragon Society, which was actually to challenge the Kanto heroes and fulfill the long-cherished wish of Sakuragi Road.
If it weren't for Kenjiro Hashimoto, Yutaka Rukawa would likely become a modern version of Konosuke Sakamoto, causing a bloody storm in the Kendo world. After losing to Kenjiro Hashimoto, Yutaka Rukawa was disheartened for a while and said everything that should and shouldn't be said.
From this, Yasutaro Hashimoto learned about the special relationship between Sakimura and Yutaka Rukawa.
Not to mention those unclear spectators, if it weren't for Liu Wei's sharp point, even Yasutaro Hashimoto thought that Yutaka Rukawa would take the opportunity to take revenge.
Under the influence of misjudgment, there was also the farce of the fourth round of the competition.
If he had known that the Scarlet Village Sword Society would recognize the grandson of Yuyo Rukawa, Hashimoto Yasutaro would definitely not let the second brother abstain, with the famous Nagisa head of Kanto, and the two sons and nephews cultivated by Kenjiro himself, the Brotherhood would not only be sure to defeat the Lutheran Society, but also be able to fight the Funakai in the fifth round.
Thankfully, things haven't gotten to the worst yet.
If it weren't for the four disciples who were killed and two injured, and only Miyabe Shoichiro was left, Scarlet Village Jian would not have put down his old face, turned over the dusty past for decades in front of thousands of spectators, and recognized this grandson who had never met.
In order to let Liu Wei single out Shoichiro Miyabe, Kotaro Hashimoto made a move that night.
The method is also very simple: come forward as the organizer, hype up the two rising stars, and through public opinion, make all the guests think that each side will send one person to participate in the finals, and one will determine the winner.
The next morning, Kantaro asked Kizaburo to come forward, and together with the other four host clubs, he went to visit Taketo Yugishi.
Things weren't as complicated as Kantaro had imagined.
After Kizaburo proposed a one-man duel and a decisive victory, Shoichiro Miyabe, who came forward instead of Scarlet Village, agreed, and said that he would fight in person.
It's not that Shoichiro Miyabe wants to save face, but he sees Liu Wei's doorway.
Before the battle against the Yoshida family, Miyabe Shoichiro found that several people invited by the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce were all martial arts masters, and they were all good at one-to-many melee battles, especially Liu Wei, who had killed four swordsmen who drew swords, otherwise Miyabe Shoichiro would not have used the swordsmen of the Yoshida family as a sparring partner.
This is completely understandable, K1 is not many people in the first place, only recruits once every two years, at most a dozen people per session, generally just a few people, and mainly performs secret missions deep behind enemy lines, often facing several times, or even dozens of times the enemy, not good at one-to-many melee, is a strange thing.
Strictly speaking, the sword drawing stream is one of the few genres in this kendo that is good at one-to-many.
This is reflected in the swordsmanship arcane of drawing the sword.
At the end of the Warring States Period, the sword was drawn and the mountain was forced to rent Sanada Takashino, in the battle of Gohihara, one man defeated twelve masters of the four major schools, killed eleven people, and the last person was also abolished.
It's just that only Sanada Takayuki is lucky to have reached this realm.
Not to mention Shoichiro Miyabe, even the Scarlet Village Sword in his prime, he only managed to defeat six with one.
With Miyabe Shoichiro's swordsmanship attainments, even in the face of the four swordsmen who were slaughtered by Liu Wei, it was difficult to be unscathed.
Besides, the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce did not lose a single person.
Even if Zhang Jinnan is excluded, there are still four people. Three of them were already on the field, and one of them was a little older and unfathomable.
By Shoichiro Miyabe's side, there were only two injured juniors.
Scarlet Village Sword?
How capable can an old man in his hundred years be able? Even if Scarlet Village's swordsmanship has reached the point of being superb, it only exists in his mind.
Exhausted, whether the knife can be drawn out of the sheath is a question.
In the melee, it must be Shoichiro Miyabe who suffers.
This matter is decided, and it has become a logical thing for the Laidao family to release water.
With the official announcement of the organizers, Liu Wei and Shoichiro Miyabe will decide the winner in the finals, and the spectators who were scratching finally quieted down.
The strength of both of them has been proven, and Liu Wei also made a war letter early, this is definitely a battle of the century.
The winner will surely become the leader of the sword in the next few decades, and will also become the leader who leads the society to the great union.
The busiest is not the organizer of the conference, but Li Zhenye, who organizes the peripheral handicap.
At the request of the majority of gamblers, Li Zhenye opened the peripheral handicap one day in advance, so that those second ancestors who had too much money to spend could enjoy the fun of gambling in advance.
Although Liu Wei only fought one game, his performance was sharp enough, and he killed four sword-drawn swordsmen in half a minute, even if it was just a sword-drawing stream, so Li Zhenye only offered him a benchmark odds of one point three. Counting the floating rate of 0.25, Liu Wei's odds are only 1.55 at the highest and only 1.05 at the lowest.
Because Liu Wei took the initiative to challenge Miyabe Shoichiro, and drew a knife to offend the Yoshida family, several major clubs were very optimistic about Liu Wei, so on the morning of the second day of the opening, Liu Wei's odds were reduced to 1.05, and not many people thought that he would lose to Miyabe Shoichiro.
The peripheral handicap gambles not only on money, but also on the fortunes of major associations.
The Yoshida family is said to have a wide range of interests and few enemies, so the situation of the ship club is very embarrassing, and even if other clubs are optimistic about Miyabe Shoichiro, they will not be confused in their statements. Taking out billions or tens of billions to buy Liu Wei's victory, money is a trivial matter, so it is a big thing to conform to the general trend and lay the foundation for future development.
Dozens or hundreds of associations are all smashing billions or tens of billions of yuan, which is not a small amount of money.
Shoichiro Miyabe's odds soared from 2.31 at the opening to 2.55, and if it wasn't limited by the floating rate of 0.25, it was likely to rise to 3.5.
Liu Wei's odds have reached the lowest and can't be lowered, and Miyabe Shoichiro's odds can't go up again.
As a result, if Liu Wei loses, Li Zhenye will definitely make a lot of money, and if Liu Wei wins, he will lose his fortune.
In the afternoon of the finals, individual visitors entered, and the gambling funds in the peripheral handicap skyrocketed.
It is no wonder that the Shimazu family, which is not bad for money, and the brotherhood that is confident in it, do not use the name of the family or community to participate in large-scale gambling, but only invest billions or tens of billions of yuan symbolizing the surname, and the rest of the gambling funds are entered in the name of individual customers through family members or forged identities.
In order not to make Li Zhenye suspicious, the hundreds of billions of yuan invested by the brotherhood are still scattered in hundreds of accounts.
After the entry of individual customers, the gambling funds directly rose by an order of magnitude.
Li Zhenye, who was dying, not only did not panic, but was extremely excited. In his opinion, if Liu Wei is done, he will be able to earn hundreds of billions of yuan, which can not only plug the loopholes of the family fund, but also make a lot of money.
With this money, even if he is not surnamed Li, he can live a chic and comfortable life.
At this time, in the southern waters of the South China Sea, a large fleet was rapidly moving south, to be precise, two fleets that were very close to each other.
At the forefront is the US aircraft carrier "Washington," with a "Ticonderoga"-class cruiser and an Arleigh-Burke-class destroyer on the left and a "Arleigh Burke"-class destroyer, and under the sea in front of us, there is also a "Virginia"-class attack nuclear submarine that was recently deployed to the western Pacific region.
Not far away, it was the same aircraft carrier battle group that had been in the South China Sea not long ago.
The large aircraft carrier flying the red naval flag on a blue background is also the only large aircraft carrier in the western Pacific region other than the US aircraft carrier.
It was accompanied by two large destroyers and two ocean-going frigates, followed by an integrated supply ship behind the buttocks.
Under the surface of the sea, there must be two or three attack nuclear submarines with good surnames.
The "Washington" held a barbecue dinner in Hong Kong, and after entertaining the Chinese [***] people who had helped a lot, it left Hong Kong and headed south, went to the US military base in Singapore for a complete overhaul, and then headed for Guam.
There is something wrong with this itinerary in the first place.
Although Singapore is an ally of the United States, not only has a well-equipped naval base, but also has the largest Changi Air Base in Southeast Asia, which can accommodate US carrier-based fighters, the "Washington" is seriously damaged, not only the No. 4 elevator is seriously damaged, but the hangar deck is burned through by the fire caused by fuel oil, and it must go to Guam for comprehensive repairs, so there is no need to go to Singapore.
This arrangement is not what the US Navy meant, but what the CIA meant.
After the "Washington" left port, before the rendezvous with the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier battle group, Rickel took a secret unit of the CIA on a C-2 transport plane to the aircraft carrier.
The authorities' secretive attitude convinced Ricker that the group of organizations that were holding a party on a desert island must have something to do with the bombing of the USS Washington.
Rickel didn't dwell on it, and he didn't have time to think about it.
Things messed up, the White House asked the CIA to give an explanation, and Turner passed the pressure on Ricker to submit a report that would satisfy the White House within ten days, or else roll up the bunks and go to the polar ice fields of northern Alaska to live with polar bears for the rest of his life.
There was only one last day left, and Rickel didn't want to be popped by a polar bear.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the Chinese Navy was so fucking enthusiastic.
Knowing that the "Washington" was going to Singapore, the clues of the attack pointed to Vietnam, because in the South China Sea, Vietnamese piracy is very rampant, so the Chinese Navy proposed to escort the "Washington", and also prepared a special force, saying that if something happened on its own territory, it would never let the hospitable American buddies bother.
The most powerful navy in the world can't even protect its own warships?
In the harbor, the "Washington" is trapped in the shallows of the dragon trapped by shrimp and entered the sea, who is still the opponent of the "Washington"?
With the combat effectiveness of the "Washington", in addition to the navies of several powerful countries, the navies of second-rate and third-rate countries are not enough to stuff the gaps.
In Rickel's view, the Chinese navy's move is only to consolidate the hegemony it has just won.
In the name of escorting the "Washington" to Singapore, it is reasonable to let the newly commissioned aircraft carrier go around the South China Sea and take the opportunity to frighten those countries that occupy the Nansha islands and reefs.
After this scene is staged, maybe the lost territory can be regained through negotiations without the use of force.
It's just that after passing through the dark sands of Zengmu and leaving the waters of the South China Sea, the Chinese fleet like kraft candy still follows behind the American fleet, with no intention of returning home, as if planning to go to Singapore to eat and drink.
Now, Ricker's head is bigger.
Because what he's going to do next is about pirates.
Will the Chinese Navy sit idly by?
