Chapter 54: The Yamaguchi-gumi and the Black Dragon Society
Haitian had dealt with the people of the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Black Dragon Society, and was very familiar with them.
The Yamaguchi-gumi, now the largest designated gang in Japan, is one of the oldest and largest gang organizations in East Asia and even the world, and was first founded in the city of Kobe, Japan, so the headquarters of the Yamaguchi-gumi is located in Kobe, Japan.
In addition to the four islands of Japan, the Yamaguchi-gumi are also widely active in Western Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia, and have close ties with the American and Italian mafia, as well as with Hong Kong's New Ngee An, 14K, Taiwan's Bamboo Union Gang, Tiandao League and other Chinese gangs.
Moreover, the Yamaguchi-gumi not only made a fuss diplomatically, but also had strict internal management.
At present, there are about 40,000 full and associate members of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and they are currently known as the three major "violent groups" in Japan, along with the Sumiyoshi Society and the Inagawa Association.
So they have a very strong strength in Tokyo, if Haitian's identity is discovered now, then it will soon spread all over Tokyo, and even all of Japan, so Haitian will never dare to attract their attention before rescuing Wang Sirui.
Now the leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi is called Kiyoji Takayama, and their leader is Kenichi Shinoda!
Haitian once attacked the headquarters of the Yamaguchi-gumi in Kobe with the Hungry Ghost Road when he was on a mission in Japan, especially when he saw that they actually hung a sign in front of their headquarters that read: "We do not use child labor, we do not litter cigarette butts, and we do not sell drugs!" ”
The Hungry Ghost Road smashed that card at that time, and what happened after that was that Haitian and the Hungry Ghost Road turned the headquarters of the Yamaguchi-gumi upside down, and people turned their backs upside down.
Others don't know, but Haitian knows very well that the current leader of the Yamaguchi group, Kenichi Shinoda and the second person in the rank-and-file, Kiyoji Takayama, are in charge of the Yamaguchi-gumi's criminal activities, including drug trafficking, arms smuggling, human trafficking, prostitution and money laundering in Japan and other countries, and the organization's annual revenue is expected to reach billions of dollars.
In addition, the Yamaguchi-gumi has infiltrated the U.S. financial and commercial system, disrupting the operational order of the U.S. financial market. So they also encountered sanctions in the United States, and the United States directly froze the accounts of the two Yamaguchi-gumi leaders in the United States.
The Yamaguchi-gumi even wanted to intervene in the politics of other countries, so at that time, Haitian and they received an order to sabotage the activities of the Yamaguchi-gumi in East Asia.
The people of the Yamaguchi-gumi are very recognizable because they all have badges on their chests!
The Yamaguchi-gumi introduced the badge system of Japanese state-owned enterprises because Kenichi Shinoda, the sixth-generation "head" of the Yamaguchi-gumi, was still serving his sentence in prison. It is said that the Yamaguchi-gumi are in a state of confusion without a leader, and the use of badges to identify them is a safe risk in the event of a fight against other gangs and internal conflicts.
These badges have a photograph of themselves on them. However, in order to avoid being "cool" from the same as the badges of ordinary company employees, the badges of the members of the Yamaguchi-gumi are a few sizes larger, similar to passports, which can be seen at a glance and appear a little "bold".
It is said that the Yamaguchi-gumi hold a "regular meeting" of 100 people at the headquarters on the fifth day of every month, and leaders from all over the country come and go frequently. For those young team members who are responsible for the entry and exit of vehicles, they basically don't recognize the faces of those "hall masters". In order to prevent outsiders from entering the country, the practice of wearing badges was adopted, and all persons without badges were denied entry.
So after Haitian entered the bar again, he saw several people with Yamaguchi-gumi badges on their chests, so I guessed that this should also be a stronghold of Yamaguchi-gumi.
If it's just the Yamaguchi group, Haitian doesn't care about it, after all, they are just a violent organization of the underworld, and the Black Dragon Society is different!
The Black Dragon Society and the Japanese Imperial Family have a lot of power, and their influence and control in Japan is unparalleled!
If we trace the history of the Black Dragon Society, it can be said that the Black Dragon Society has a history of more than 400 years in Japan, and the Black Dragon Society that we know is indeed more than 100 years old! Their earliest members were all samurai from Japan!
The Black Dragon Society, also known as the Genyosha, was first known as a patriotic group in Japan, while the Genyosha was only known to a few founders, and the Black Dragon Society is known to the Japanese today.
Founded in Fukuoka during the Meiji period, it was the oldest reactionary organization in Japan, and almost all fascist groups at that time were members of the Black Dragon Society.
The most famous slogan of the Black Dragon Society is "Go to Heilongjiang", which is the most powerful engine for Japan to engage in overseas military and political espionage work.
On February 23, 1901, Mitsuru Toyama and Ryohei Uchida organized the establishment of the Black Dragon Society in Tokyo on the basis of the former Genyosha, with the purpose of seeking the Heilongjiang River valley as Japanese territory, from which the name of the association came. Uchida served as the first "backbone", hired Mitsuru Toyama as an advisor, and created the journal "Black Dragon".
In the early years, the Black Dragon Society cooperated with Sun Yat-sen and other revolutionaries in an attempt to overthrow the Qing government.
On August 2, 1905, under the mediation of the Black Dragon Society, various Chinese revolutionary organizations jointly established the League at the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society in Tokyo.
Although after World War II, Japan has announced the dissolution of the Black Dragon Society! But his power is still very large.
So the Yamaguchi-gumi were children in front of the Black Dragon Society, they used to control the Japanese military department, and even the emperor was overthrown by them at that time.
The Black Dragon Society is not a simple underworld organization, they have greater ambitions, so they will develop into a militarist organization, even Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang, without the support of the Black Dragon Society, the Kuomintang headquarters at that time would not know where it was!
The Black Dragon Society would cooperate with Sun Yat-sen to overthrow the Qing government at that time, and a large part of the reason was the three eastern provinces! Its ambition is not insignificant!
If it is said that the Yamaguchi group controls the gangsters, then the Black Dragon Society controls the people and money, and almost all Japanese companies and consortia have the shadow of the Black Dragon Society behind them to a greater or lesser extent!
The Black Dragon Society also has a strong force, and the warriors they train are all first-class masters! These samurai are the same as the ninjas trained by the royal family, and they will complete the mission at any cost!
The first mission of the samurai in battle, not afraid of difficulties, loyal and capable, and good at swords and all kinds of hand-to-hand combat, especially when encountering groups of samurai, even the sea and sky are very difficult to deal with! However, compared to ninjas, Haitian still likes to fight Japanese samurai, because in terms of fighting skills, Haitian has learned a lot from it!
Another point is that samurai are generally very crazy, confident in their own strength, and profess to disdain the use of vile means! So they won't be unscrupulous like ninjas, but they do surpass ninjas in the murderous Cheng dù!
In the era of cold weapons, the Japanese samurai were a formidable opponent because they possessed sophisticated swords on the one hand, and on the other hand, they valued combat training and were experienced. In the Ming Dynasty's aid to Korea and the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the combat ability of Japanese samurai in individual soldiers and small groups was significantly higher than that of ordinary Ming troops. In particular, the samurai's sharp long knives and strange knife skills often defeated the Ming army, which was mostly numerous. Only when Qi Jiguang invented the "Mandarin Duck Array", combined the comprehensive power of long and short weapons and firearms, and used well-trained elite soldiers, could he restrain the Japanese invaders.
And Haitian once met a strong opponent in Japan! His name is Miyamoto Lang, and he is a descendant of the Japanese sword saint Miyamoto Musashi!
The sword master Miyamoto Musashi is famous for creating a two-handed sword that divides the long sword and the small sword, but the Japanese sword technique is still mostly two-handed sword. It is said that the Japanese two-handed sword method was introduced to Japan in the Han and Tang dynasties, and then gradually became extinct in China, but the Japanese samurai gradually perfected their own two-handed sword method on this basis, forming a kendo system, the main feature of which is to abandon the disadvantages of China's beautiful routines, emphasizing the actual combat of "simple and strict techniques, full and fluent strength".
After hundreds of years of tempering and perfecting, Miyamoto Lang's swordsmanship can be said to be the most brilliant Haitian has ever seen, and the two fought for more than an hour without distinguishing the winner!
So compared to the Yamaguchi group, Haitian is more worried that Wang Sirui will fall into the hands of the Black Dragon Society or the royal family!
But Haitian now underestimates the power of the imperial family, although the emperor is now elevated, but the secret strength is very strong, especially the Japanese ninja family has been loyal to the emperor for hundreds of years, long after the end of World War II, the emperor withdrew from the stage of history, but the power in their hands is the real core of Japan.
Now even the Black Dragon Society is already under the control of the Imperial Family, because back then, the Black Dragon Society was required to be forcibly disbanded, and there was no way, they could only fall under the hands of the Emperor, hoping to be able to get asylum, and in this way, from then on, they began to do things for the Japanese Imperial Family.
But secretly he is also cultivating his own power, and this qiē has not escaped the eyes of the royal family, so the royal family uses the power of ninjas to suppress the Black Dragon Society, and uses the power of the Black Dragon Society to contain the ninjas, so that they can control the two families well.
Just like the kidnapping of Wang Sirui this time, if there is no recognition from the Japanese royal family, how can anyone dare to do it, the Yamaguchi group will not dare, and the black dragon will not dare even more, first of all, Wang Sirui's special identity, that is, Asura They don't want to provoke for no reason, speaking of which, it is the Japanese royal family that really hates Asura, not them.
Haitian has now basically determined that this matter is related to the Yamaguchi-gumi, but Haitian is not clear about what role the Black Dragon Society plays in it, so he needs to confirm it, especially since he has not known much about Japanese affairs in the past four years, which is likely to lead to wrong judgments for himself.
And the first target is him
