Chapter 873: The Disappearance of Kikumi Shimura
Since the signing of a treaty called the "Ximen Armistice Agreement", peace has been restored in the temple streets of the Far East, and singing and dancing have once again become the main theme here. Some veterans who drank too much would point to some strange holes to educate the newcomers: "See! That's where Lao Tzu used to fight eighteen years ago! ”。 All the bloody wind and rain have become distant memories, and everyone has drunk and talked about it.
Temple Street is divided into two urban areas, the west is Russian, the east is Chinese, the two sides are close at hand, but they are also old and dead. Occasionally, there will be naughty children laughing and playing across the border, but as long as they are discovered by their parents, they will inevitably be beaten by fat, and this is the case on both sides. There will be some occasional trade between the two sides, but the scale is very small, and the buyers and sellers have the same expressions as if you don't want to die. Although the distinction was clear, everyone still maintained the peace, but a group of cavalry that suddenly entered Xicheng District broke the peace that had been maintained for 18 years.
The cavalry that entered Xicheng District were all dressed differently, horses and equipment, some were Cossacks wearing fur hats and riding Don hippos, and some were Manchurian cavalry in handsome costumes and riding Manchurian horses. The two groups didn't fight, and they were able to walk together because they both came from an organization called the Armistice Commission. After the signing of the Simon Armistice Agreement, Manchurian and Russian countries entered a period of peace, but the two sides did not restore diplomatic relations and remained at war in principle. In order to avoid another war due to misfire, the British suggested that the two sides form an armistice committee to coordinate various contingencies. The reason why the personnel of both sides of the armistice committee were dispatched together this time was because the Manchurian army was disgraced, not a shameful disgrace, but a real person who was lost.
The international war is fierce, but when the spring flowers are blooming, the people of East Asia are still living their own small lives. The Japanese are even more normal in all aspects except for the build-up of troops, even the students in military academies. In February of the 11th year of Zhongzheng, a group of cadets who were about to graduate from the Etajima Naval College in Japan received a significant award for their excellent academic performance. They were selected to go to Changchun to pay homage to the emperor and the great general, and to study at the Imperial Naval Academy in Vladivostok. After paying homage to Emperor Heisei and her husband, Admiral Koko, they entered the Imperial Naval Academy in Vladivostok. Everything in the empire itself made them intoxicated, and life was good, and then better things came. During the Qingming Festival holiday, the school organized a spring outing, and the last stop of the tour was Temple Street.
Along the way, everyone was very unhappy to play in the mountains and rivers, and after entering the north of Heilongjiang, they could hear the teachers of the college tell about the great achievements of the bloody war that year. The students were fascinated by what they heard, and they couldn't wait to join the field and make contributions to the country. The teacher, who was very kind, seemed to have guessed the students' thoughts, and specially borrowed horses from the local garrison, so that the students had passed the addiction of horseback riding, and then caused trouble. Horses were the mainstream means of transportation in this era, so all the local students who grew up in Manchuria could ride horses, but there were not so many horses in barren Japan, and most of the Japanese students who came to exchange and study would not control this terrible livestock. The teacher didn't pay much attention to these clumsy fools, and then the group of horses ran away, and then it was a shame. When the brigade assembled to return, the captain of the Japanese cadet Mayuki Akiyama reported that Kikumi Shimura, one of the Japanese cadets, did not return. The garrison equestrian instructor, who was responsible for assisting in the management of the horses, also found that one of the horses had not returned to the team. This time, the teacher who led the team had a headache, why was he still ashamed?
At first, everyone didn't take it seriously, and it was nothing new for a stupid hat who couldn't ride a horse to be taken away by a running horse. Everyone didn't even look for it, they just rested in the assembly area, waiting for Shimura Kikumi to return. Because the garrison equestrian instructors are very sure that their horses are professionally trained, and if no one controls them, if they find out that they have left, they will soon be recovered. Half an hour later, the horses did come back as the equestrian instructor said, but Shimura Kikumi didn't even have a shadow, and the war horses came back empty. At this time, everyone panicked, and the Japanese students such as Akiyama Shinyuki were worried about their companions, but their teacher who led the team thought of a lot of things.
The place where the naval cadets play is very close to Temple Street, that is to say, it is very close to the Sino-Russian border. The disappearance of a Japanese student on the Sino-Russian border is a very dangerous thing, whether this guy named Shimura Kikumi was kidnapped by the Russians or defected to Russia, it is a very dangerous thing, and he has a great possibility of leaking secrets. However, Japanese naval cadets have many opportunities to come into contact with high-tech weapons, and their escape and leakage of secrets will inevitably lead to the leakage of Manchurian defense science and technology.
"Akiyama Shinyuki stayed, and the others immediately divided into five teams to search, and notified the Temple Street garrison to assist in the search!" Seeing the sweat on his forehead, the teacher who led the team immediately broke up the Chinese and Japanese students, and then ordered them to look for Shimura Kikumi. At the same time, he also prepared for the worst and asked the local garrison to help find him.
"Sensei ......" The teacher left the team with Mayuki Akiyama, apparently not wanting to be heard by others, which made Mayuki Akiyama a little nervous.
"Akiyama-kun, what is Shimura Kikumi's origin, and is his political component reliable? Was there any discovery of his association with white people? The teacher who led the team ignored Akiyama Shinyuki's nervousness and asked him a few questions in a row.
"Shimura-kun was born in the Nihonmatsu Domain, a middle-level feudal family, and the political component is very good, and he has absolutely no contact with white people, and he may not have ever met white people!" Shinyuki Akiyama, who had a lot of eyes, immediately realized what the teacher was worried about and answered the teacher's question truthfully.
Shimura Kikumi was born in the Nihonmatsu Domain, and was a fellow countryman of Asano Munehide, which was definitely a good background in the eyes of Manchuria, because Nihonmatsu was the leader of the first group of feudal states to throw himself into Manchuria. Kikumi Shimura can be a little naughty at times, but he's still very resistant to white people. He was a very radical man, and often clamoured that the yellow race should be the first race in the world. Such people, even if they have anti-Chinese sentiments, will never go along with white people. However, Akiyama Shinyuki couldn't say all these words to the instructor who led the team, because it would be too abrupt.
"How's he doing?" Hearing that Shimura was born in the Nihonmatsu Domain, the teacher basically ruled out the possibility of Shimura's defection.
"Shimura-kun is a black belt in judo, and after studying in Vladivostok, he also asked his classmates about national arts." Akiyama Mayuki didn't react, why would the teacher care about Shimura's skills.
"Well, that's good! …… Wait, how tall and heavy is he? The teacher was a little relieved, but he seemed to think of something and asked again.
"Shimura-kun is one meter six three tall and weighs about one hundred and two pounds!" Akiyama Shinyuki is getting more and more confused.
"Ahh......h Where did it go? "The teacher's heart is half cold, Shimura's body is too small, and this skill has to be discounted.
The local garrison sent a cavalry company to assist in the search, but it did not bring back any good news, and the hoof prints of Shimura's horses pointed in the direction of Temple Street Xicheng, and then they came back, and Shimura did not have any trace. The teacher had no choice but to go to Aqilatu, the commander of the 097th Mixed Brigade of the Temple Street Garrison, and told Aqilatu what he was worried about. Japanese nationality has always been an internal hidden danger in Manchuria, and no one below the general really trusts these so-called own people, and Aqiratu is naturally no exception, and when he heard that the Japanese cadet soldiers disappeared near the border, the first thing he thought of was to defect.
Achillatu immediately communicated with the Russian side, convened a meeting of the armistice committee, and directly submitted a request to the Russian supreme commander Kirilenko for the Manchurian Army to enter Xicheng District to search. Of course, Kirilenko immediately refused, but Achilatu's attitude was very resolute, and he must send troops into Xicheng District to find the missing cadets. If the Russian side does not cooperate, he will judge that the Russian army has kidnapped Manchurian cadet soldiers and immediately take military measures against the Russian army. Kirilenko could not bear the threat of war, so he could only agree that the Manchurian Army should send no more than one company of troops into Xicheng District, but he demanded that the Manchurian search be completed under the supervision of the Russian army. Achiratu's purpose was to find someone, so he also agreed to Kirilenko's request.
"I changed my clothes, mixed in, and checked out the specific situation of Xicheng for me!" Achillatu sent Kirilenko away, and then began to arrange for people to enter Xicheng District, but he specially found his reconnaissance company commander, a veteran Tu Zhijun who had fought with first-class combat heroes.
"Understood!" Tu Zhijun was a middle-aged veteran, and immediately understood the intention of the brigade to reconnoiter Xicheng District, immediately changed his clothes, and brought his small camera disguised as a briefcase.
A reconnaissance platoon of the Manchurian Army, with the cooperation of two cavalry platoons, entered the Xicheng District of Temple Street together. They searched almost all over the place, and they didn't find the legendary cadet soldiers, but the scouts saw all the key points in Xicheng District, and Tu Zhijun even pressed the shutter on the briefcase again and again to take pictures of some key areas. The Russian army kept urging them to leave quickly, and everyone had nothing to scout, so they had to start walking back slowly. When he was about to reach the border between the two sides, Tu Zhijun suddenly found a group of strange women in the corner, their clothes were tattered, affectionate and miserable, and they were a group of yellow people. The officers of the Russian army found the people that Tu Zhijun was concerned about, and they looked quite embarrassed, and quietly sent people over to ask them to take those women away quickly.
"Who are those?" Tu Zhijun saw all the demeanor of the Russian army, he immediately opened his mouth to ask, and walked straight over.
"Some slaves bought from North Korea more than ten years ago, this has nothing to do with you Manchurians!" The officers of the Russian army seemed nervous.
Tu Zhijun ignored the officers of the Russian army at all, but walked straight to the women, and asked loudly in Chinese if there were any Chinese among them, and these women squatted on the ground and did not respond at all, as if they really did not understand Chinese at all. These women are not young, they are all thirty or forty years old, no matter how you look at them, they are meaningless people, Tu Zhijun didn't think much about it, just subconsciously took a few photos of them.
After Tu Zhijun and they returned, the missing Shimura Jumei also had a whereabouts, and this brave buddy was actually investigating Xicheng District. Kikumi Shimura, who had been missing for four hours, brought back a sketch of the deployment of the Russian army on the outskirts of Xicheng District, and even marked the targets suitable for shelling from the perspective of the navy. The teacher who led the team highly praised Shimura Kikumi's professional skills, as well as his behavior of never forgetting the enemy and being loyal to the general, and then happily imprisoned him for seven days because he left the team without permission.
