In Busan, in the harbor, the domestic steamer Hatamaru, forcibly requisitioned by the Japanese Navy, is slowly approaching, and the dock is already crowded with Japanese civilians from nearby areas, as well as local defender soldiers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In order to allow local civilians to leave the already dangerous Korean Peninsula as soon as possible, the Japanese Navy is sparing no effort to escort several valuable shipping lanes.

The Japanese navy, which was originally concerned about the navy of the Ming Empire and was unwilling to enter the Korean Gulf to fight, now has no energy to manage the route of the Ming Empire between Nanpu and Qingdao.

"Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze! If you squeeze any more, you're going to shoot! The Japanese officer guarding the dock was armed with pistols and stared angrily at the iron railing, waiting for all sorts of people to board the ship.

There were businessmen in mink coats, wielding bribes such as banknotes and even gold bars, and many officers carrying suitcases, also impatient on the other side of the railing.

Everyone wants to be able to get to the dock a little earlier, and then find their cabin before the crowds crowd into the boat, and take a good rest and relieve the stress of fear.

There was a crowd of people on one side, but there was a boarding path that was not spacious, but it was also not crowded, and one after another, people were waving their "vouchers" and carrying their luggage to the Hatamaru as it docked.

Some of the people walking on this path are the descendants of the daughters of high-ranking officers, and some are specially approved by the Japanese state, and some important people are given priority to pick up.

Those who have been asked in Japan to be given priority to bring back to mainland Japan include the families of some promising middle-aged military officers, as well as some valuable management personnel.

Of course, there are also scientists and the elite of immigrants, including senior school teachers and celebrities.

Although the identities of these people have been carefully screened and the family members who can be taken away by these people have been stipulated, the number of people is still ten times exceeded, and there are too many people to be transported.

Even so, there were still a large number of people and materials that could not be transported, and the materials could only be dumped into the sea, and the personnel could only wait bitterly on the shore, waiting for more Japanese ships to arrive.

Since the beginning of the war, the Japanese side has shipped away more than 30,000 specially approved "special talents," but this is far from satisfying the needs of those who want to leave Korea and return to Japan.

It is estimated that at least 1 million people wish to leave the Korean Peninsula, and another 300,000 or more regular troops are worth transporting back to Japan to replenish Japan's young and strong workforce.

But this happened 20 days ago, when the Japanese front began to collapse, and it was at that time that the Japanese Navy began to do its best to force personnel back home.

Originally, Japan forbade immigrants to return to their home countries, because of the needs of Japan's foreign expansion, it was necessary to allow the Japanese to stay permanently on the Korean Peninsula.

However, with the development of the war, the Japanese stationed on the Korean Peninsula became valuable supplies and had to be rushed back to China.

You must know that compared with the Ming Empire, which has a large population, Japan, a small country, has very huge and obvious shortcomings in terms of human resources.

At this time, it can only be done to save some of them, and one more person can be rushed back to their home country, so that when they face the Ming Empire in the future, one more soldier can be used!

For this reason, on January 18, Japan's plan to rush civilians from the Korean Peninsula to return home was launched, codenamed "Han".

As this plan unfolded, countless Japanese merchant ships and cargo ships rushed to the Korean Peninsula to rush back to China with all kinds of people.

It was against this backdrop that the Hatamaru approached the pier of the port of Busan and lowered his boarding ladder.

Seeing that a large group of people had already begun to board the ship first, the civilians waiting for the ships in the harbor began to stir, waving their hands and shouting, hoping that the Japanese soldiers guarding the iron fence would let them follow the ship and leave.

Because there were so many people, the whole iron railing was shaking, and the shouts of the people suppressed the loud shouts of the officers who reprimanded them.

"Stand back! Otherwise, fire! An officer pointed a pistol at a civilian who was facing him and was separated only by an iron bar.

Behind him, the Japanese soldier with a bayonet shouted equally loudly, and then was ordered to pull the bolt of the gun and put the bullet into the chamber.

"Why are they on board? But we can't go? A wealthy businessman asked loudly, there were several civilians in front of him, so he was not afraid of the threat of the other party's shooting.

"Sir!" While there was an argument here, at the end of the small passage over there, the officer in charge of checking the boarding documents saw the commander of the garrison at the port of Busan, and quickly stood up and saluted.

The commander of the garrison in Busan pointed to the old man behind him and a group of businessmen and ordered: "Let them get on the ship, they have all paid the deposit." ”

"Yes!" The officers cooperated to open the iron doors of the passage and let the men who had actually paid a large sum of money before being allowed to leave the ship board.

Although celebrities and laborers are required to be taken away first, in practice, both wealthy and bribers can board ships and leave, and some people are even entitled to separate cabins.

Because the price given was too generous, these old men who boarded the ship even brought beautiful female dependents, followed by Japanese soldiers carrying luggage.

"Phew!" A Japanese civilian, who had climbed over the railing, was shot and killed. His body climbed over the railing and slammed into the ground on this side of the railing.

His head hit the ground first, and in the distance there were sandbags and Japanese heavy machine guns that had been bolted and on alert. A little farther away, there are special people who are waiting to get on the ship, and they have "tickets".

These people, who were either carrying their own luggage or had someone else help carry it, turned their heads sideways and looked indifferently at the corpse that had fallen to the ground, as if it had nothing to do with them.

"Those who are not allowed to pass and try to cross the cordon in vain are the end!" Wielding the pistol in his hand, the Japanese officer shouted loudly to the civilians of his own country.

The scene changed from out of control to a state of order, this kind of thing had happened several times in the morning, and it was expected to happen again tomorrow, and it continued until this retreat was completed, and the troops of the Ming Empire drove to the outskirts of Busan.

"Come aboard! Mr! A sailor in a white gown, nodded to the passengers who looked back at the dead man, and gently reminded.

Retracting his gaze, Wu Ze carried his luggage, walked along the suspension ladder, and walked onto the Hatamaru cruise ship.
