Section 35 Nationalism (II) [Fourth Vote Request]

"You Tang pig, pick it up for me immediately!"

Three or five Japanese dressed in samurai costumes with wooden swords pinned to their waists, and a swaggering Japanese man surrounded a waiter in the restaurant. Zhang Yannian was about to go up to interfere, but Tan Renhao immediately kicked him below to tell him not to be impulsive.

"That's an immigrant, probably just came to Japan." Zhang Yannian helped Tan Renhao translate the words of the Japanese samurai, "He is a waiter in the restaurant, maybe something offended those samurai." ”

Tan Renhao was slightly startled in his heart, and quickly glanced at the Japanese samurai. At the end of the capitalist revolution in Japan, the Japanese government issued a "knife ban" prohibiting samurai from carrying knives on the streets, and then began confiscating all knives in the hands of the samurai class. After World War I, the spirit of bushido in Japan began to recover, and the effect of the "ban on swords" gradually weakened, and more importantly, in the Japanese army, a new samurai class had emerged. These people all admired the spirit of bushido and felt honored as a samurai. The culture in the military soon spread to the people, and Japanese civilians began to wear samurai clothes as a fashion. Although the effectiveness of the "knife ban" has been weakened a lot, most civilians still dare not bring real knives to the streets, and at most they just play at home. As a result, all these people wore were wooden katanas.

Tan Renhao glanced at the service lying on the ground again. Several of the Japanese "samurai" besieging him were shorter, even much shorter than the waiter. This made Tan Renhao a little puzzled, why didn't that person fight back? If he does fight, he may not be the opponent of the Japanese, but at least he can save some face.

"Last year, more than a dozen Tang people were killed in Japan, and the imperial government has repeatedly issued protests demanding that Japan hand over the murderers, but so far, these things have not been resolved." Zhang Yannian explained beside him, "Now, as long as you show yourself as a subject of the Tang Empire, you will be besieged in Japan. Therefore, when we go out, we don't speak Chinese if we don't have to, and we try to wear suits so as not to get into trouble. Even if we diplomats have the right of diplomatic pardon, if something happens, no one will care about you. ”

Tan Renhao sneered. This can only show one point: nationalist sentiment in Japan has been stirred up. This was already very evident after the First World War.

"Hey, actually, Japan is quite pitiful." As soon as Zhang Yannian saw Tan Renhao's slightly angry gaze, he immediately changed his tone and said, "I didn't mean that, I just said that there is a reason why Japan has come to this point." After the end of World War I, the anti-Tang sentiment of the Japanese people was very serious, coupled with the propaganda of the Japanese government, many ignorant Japanese believed that it was the Tang Empire that kept an eye on Japan, so Japan could not become a world-class power, could not obtain due overseas benefits, and even lost the last war. After more than 20 years of development, I am afraid that no one in Japan now knows that their culture originally came from the Tang Empire, and they are just students. ”

Tan Renhao's gaze fell on the waiter again. Several Japanese "samurai" were still beating him, but this man was also a hard man, and he didn't say anything, let alone beg for mercy.

"Let's go, less trouble." Zhang Yannian took out his wallet and prepared to pay the bill.

"You go out and bring the car." Tan Renhao stood up, and he couldn't look at it anymore.

"Tang Gou, if you call 'uncle', we will spare you, haha......"

The Japanese man looked very arrogant, Tan Renhao walked behind him and patted him on the shoulder, he was startled, and then turned around. "Who are you, don't bother with trouble, be careful that Uncle beats you."

Tan Renhao smiled, and just when the other party looked at him puzzled, he hit him with a fist, directly knocking the Japanese who was a head shorter than him out. At this time, several other Japanese pulled out the wooden katana at their waists, and Tan Renhao picked up a stool next to him in a hurry, and then glanced at Zhang Yannian and asked him to hurry up and pick up the car. Tan Renhao is a veteran when it comes to group fights, he has been fighting with the gangsters in Wenzhou City since he was a child, and in this case, a stool is definitely much more powerful than a few broken knives made of wood.

Within two minutes, the other four Japanese were beaten to the ground. Tan Renhao spat at the nearest one, then reached out and pulled up the waiter in the restaurant. Zhang Yannian also drove the car over, Tan Renhao didn't say anything at all, and directly pushed him into the car.

"Go back to the embassy directly, don't go anywhere else."

The young man with a blue nose and swollen face, and the corners of his mouth were still bleeding, looked at Tan Renhao in a little surprise. "Are you from the Tang Empire?"

"Yes, I am a naval officer of the Tang Empire, and now I am a military attache of the imperial embassy." Tan Renhao stared at him, "Why didn't you fight back at first?" ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and immediately lowered his head.

"Are you still not a subject of the Tang Empire? I'm ashamed of you! Tan Renhao's words were not polite at all, "If you don't fight back when you are beaten, the subjects of the Tang Empire will definitely not be beaten and not fight back." ”

"I still have my mother, my sister, and I can't offend those people."

"Who are they?" Tan Renhao gritted his teeth, this is by no means a reason not to fight back after being beaten.

"They are members of the 'Ichiwakai,' the biggest gang in Tokyo." The young man seemed to have found a reason, "You are a military attachΓ©, an imperial officer, naturally you are not afraid of us, but I am nothing, if I offend them, tomorrow I will not even have a place to be buried." ”

"Why don't you leave Japan?" Tan Renhao lit a cigarette and then gave the young man one as well, which was indeed a reason.

"I want to, too, but I don't have any money, and I don't know what to do when I go back."

Tan Renhao glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "After you go back, you can choose to join the army, how old are you now?" Twenty, or eighteen? Serving the empire is far better than being a dog in Japan! ”

"But my mother, my sister, they ......."

"Can't they go back, what laws in the Empire prohibit you from returning home?" Tan Renhao sneered, and said to Zhang Yannian in front, "Find a way to arrange for their family to return to the empire, and then send someone to bring his mother and sister to the embassy." ”

Tan Renhao didn't ask the young man's name, and he didn't want to know, he just felt that he should help this suffering compatriot.
