Chapter 577: Ito's Exploration and Discovery (2nd Update)

Minori Sanjo and Iwakura Goshimi and their entourage, after arriving in Dalian to meet Okubo Ritsu, they went crazy in Dalian. Because Northern Manchukuo didn't like the Japanese to go deep into the border, it was convenient to set the place of negotiation at Dalian Customs, but Dalian was very, very enough for Iwakura Gushi and others.

The first shock, the second drunkenness, and the end of madness are the feelings of Iwakura Gushi after traveling and inspecting Europe and the United States three years later, but they experienced this feeling in Dalian. Huge freighters, majestic dock buildings, exquisite and ingenious industrial products, everything makes these devils intoxicated. Iwakura also wanted to have extensive contact with Manchurian government officials and people from all walks of life, inspecting government agencies, courts, companies, exchanges, as well as various factories, mines, ports, farms and pastures, barracks, fortresses, schools, newspapers, and welfare facilities, but Okubo Toshitsu, who had already shocked him several times, gave him a disappointing answer.

"The Manchurians were very wary of us, and they strictly regulated the scope of our activities and restricted other people's contact with us. We can't even go out of the customs, and we don't have the opportunity to conduct a detailed inspection at all! "Okubo Ritsu, who has suffered a lot of white eyes in Dalian, has long seen the prosperity of Dalian Port and the prosperity of Manchurian technology. He wanted to sneak out more than once, but every time he was driven back by the customs police, very unceremoniously.

"Okubo-kun, can't we go to the city and have a look?" Iwakura Gushi had already been reported by Okubo Ritsu and knew that he couldn't go anywhere he wanted, but looking at the high-rise buildings in Dalian from afar, he still couldn't help but want to go and see.

"Iwakura Palace, the Manchurians are very tightly supervised, and we can't go anywhere except for this hotel in the port. To this day, I have never seen the prosperity of Dalian. And the place where they settled us is not the main port area of Dalian Port, and what we can see here is only a small part of their bustling port. Although we can only see the goods coming in and out of here from a distance, they are all agricultural and sideline products and the like. The Manchurians seem to have a deep prejudice against us, and they want to keep it a secret from us, even if it is of no value! "Okubo tried all sorts of things, but it didn't work.

"Damn Manchurians!" Iwakura Gushi was very disappointed, but he had a follow-up method, and he could train a lot of spies in the country.

The rise of Manchuria had long been heard by the Japanese from the British, and since the time of Tokugawa Ieshige, a large number of scholars and spies have been sent to Manchuria. Although nothing has been gained except for the loss of a large number of elite personnel, the Japanese, who have always coveted Chinese mainland, are not so easy to give up. Iwakura was ready to continue espionage activities in Manchuria, believing that he could learn from Manchuria how to make Japan prosperous.

Iwakura Gushi and the others were trapped in the hotel for three days, but they were not bored, because they had all become pseudo-astronomy enthusiasts. Each man has a telescope, and when someone comes by, they pretend to look at the stars, and when no one is around, they have round eyes and stare at everything they can see. They did have gains, for example, Iwakura Gushi learned about the Manchurian customs management system and the police system in the port, Yamaguchi Naokata experienced the benefits of cement construction, and Ito Hirobumi, who was a good skill, also had a windfall.

Hirobumi Ito, who had practiced martial arts for a long time as a child and had studied ninjutsu for a while, found that there was a very mysterious small house not far from their hotel after a few days of observation. It's a small house, but it's very strange. The location of the house is a bit remote, which does not conform to the tradition of Chinese architecture, and the windows on the house are very small, and the location is almost to the ceiling. The windows are made of transparent glass, but they are made of thick louvers, making it difficult to see the inside even though the light can pass through.

At first, Ito thought it was a warehouse, because the narrow windows and other circumstances indicated that the house was not suitable for people to live in. However, after patiently observing, Ito felt that he might be wrong, because there were often people coming in and out of this house, and although these people did not stay in it for too long, it was still a bit of a crowd. Through careful observation and documentation, Ito discovered that all the Manchurians in the vicinity had been to the house for varying lengths of time, but none had never been there. At night, the house is even more mysterious, and even in the early hours of the morning, it is still brightly lit, and there is never a time when it is dark.

Hirofumi Ito, Iwakura Gushi, Okubo Toshitsu and others talked about their findings, and everyone analyzed them for a long time, but they really couldn't understand the meaning of this house. However, there are also some eyebrows, this house is supposed to be a secret institution, the Manchurian police and hotel personnel who monitor the people, and the frequent entry and exit of this place must be to report the information obtained by the people of the surveillance mission. In other words, the house was either a command post for the Manchurians in the vicinity, or a stronghold for intelligence transmission.

Hirofumi Ito, a daring artist, finally sneaked into the house late one night, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the police guarding them. But after entering this magical building, Ito Hirobumi was stupid, there was no majestic commander here, there was no telegraph machine to transmit information, and there was not even a single person. Hirobumi Ito, who knew something about Western things, studied the strange things in the room for a while, and came up with the answer: this mysterious building is a toilet.

"Their toilets are very beautiful and luxurious, and the sinks and toilets are made of very fine white porcelain. Once inside, press a metal button and water will rinse the stool away. There is also a magical device above the sink, just turn it and water will flow out of it, and adjust its direction and hot water will flow out! It's really amazing technology, it's admirable! Hirobumi Ito excitedly recounted his discovery, and everyone, including Senior Minister Minori Sanjo, was amazed by the heavenly book.

"Remember! A group of our ministers and ministers have studied the toilets of the Manchurians for so long, and even more so that Ito-kun risked his life to investigate to find out the truth, this is really a shame for our Yamato nation! We are too backward, and I hope that you will remember the shame of today and work hard for the future development of the Great Japanese Empire! "Iwakura Gushi is also a wonderful person, and it is a good encouragement to the fighting spirit of the reformers.

"The Manchurians even have to guard against us for such things as toilets, and their fear of us can be seen! When you come to negotiate with Japan, you must be careful! Minoru Sanjo, who rarely expresses an opinion, finally said something practical.
