Chapter Thirty-Six: The Lively Shanghai Beach
The death of Yamato Manno did not cause much turmoil in the huge Shanghai Beach, but the big explosion last night and the news that dozens of fishermen went to sea overnight to find a 10,000-ton cargo ship reached the ears of well-informed people in Shanghai overnight.
No one deliberately blocked the news, and the next day, the whole Shanghai Beach was full of jubilation. Even the bombing of Yamato's villa a few days ago was turned over.
All of a sudden, ministers from various countries, warlords of all sizes, literati and artists, streets and alleys, taverns, passers-by and merchants, adults and children, and there was no place on the beach that was full of discussions about the bombing of Yamato Wharf, the disappearance of the Yamato Maru, and the explosion of Yamato Villa.
"Outside the number, outside the number, the Yamato dock was attacked by unknown militants, and the dock workers suffered countless casualties, and no one knows who did it." A little newspaper boy was happily selling, and since early in the morning he has sold out four batches of two hundred newspapers, and today is a bumper day.
"Outside, outside, the Yamato Maru is missing, and on the night of the disappearance, someone saw the dragon appear," this newspaper is obviously a product out of nowhere, but it is such an unobtrusive newspaper, and it was also sold out as soon as it appeared.
"Take a look, take a look, big news, Yamato Villa was blown up by a mysterious group of armed forces. A group claimed that the bandits of the Dongshan Taibao said that they had done the case. "Another bombshell news exploded on the streets of Shanghai.
At the same time, in all corners of Shanghai Beach, countless idlers are chatting about it.
"Lao Wang, have you heard, the Japanese Yamato Villa was bombed, and dozens of people died."
"What kind of great news is you, the Yamato docks have been blown up by several ships full of gunpowder. I've heard that thousands of people were killed or wounded."
"Ah, really, I don't know which gang of strongmen did it."
"Who knows this, but it is estimated that God does not like the Japanese, and it is impossible to say what the heavenly soldiers sent will do in the future."
"How can there be any heavenly soldiers, this group of people looks like they are in the same group as the Yamato Maru. With such an obvious sound, I can't see the strategy to cover it up. The Japanese are really stupid. ”
"Oh. This guy is so insightful, I don't know if you know who did it. ”
"What's so difficult about this, everyone, listen to me, it is said that last night was the night of murder in the dark moon, the wind was high and the sky was set on fire, and a group of strongmen had already investigated everything in Yamato and foreign dealings, and they were ready to do it last night" Before this person could finish speaking, he saw several plainclothes suddenly wearing next to him, and a chain was put around the neck of this brother.
"Okay, it turns out that there is a comrade here, and the brothers will arrest him back and ask for a reward."
"Misunderstanding, brothers, slow down, I'm the storyteller of the Eight Immortals Building. I've made them up. ”
"Ah," the crowd around them heard that this guy was actually scamming money. They scattered in all directions. Don't let the spies in the patrol room arrest them like strongmen.
Just when all kinds of gossip were flying all over the sky and the citizens of Shanghai were jumping for this, ministers from various countries and countless capable people were also running around for this.
The force that will be able to do such a big case, no matter who it is, everyone thinks that they are not opponents. There is such a hidden enemy, and everyone will not have to sleep well from now on.
So the ministers of various countries mobilized all the secret agents, secret agents, patrol police, limited troops, and all kinds of secret agents and spies to find out the news.
The Shanghai Municipal Government, all kinds of business people, representatives of various warlords in Shanghai, and even the three tycoons of Shanghai also helped the crowd to trace everywhere, hoping to find some clues.
Let's see who is sacred, has this strength, and has this courage to do such a big case. You know, this is not a fight between gangs, this is a naked challenge to the entire Japanese government.
Because of this incident, the Japanese Government has already sent a note to the Chinese Government at the first time. It is necessary for the Chinese government to give an explanation in the shortest possible time and hand over the real culprit.
At this time, the advantages of multiple governments were seen, and the northern government said that Shanghai was the territory of the southern government and was not under their control. The southern government said that Shanghai was not under their control and that it was actually Mr. Zhang's territory.
Zhang Zuolin said that it was too late for me to contaminate the Japanese, how could I do such a big case. is saying that the surrounding area of Shanghai is Sun Chuanfang's territory, and he is the most suspicious.
Sun Chuanfang said that I now have few major generals and have to always be on guard against the attacks of the northern and southern governments, so how can I provoke trouble with the Japanese government, which has always been good to me. It must have been the northern government that framed him and asked his Japanese friends to give him justice.
So a round of Tai Chi was beaten, but the matter was not resolved. The impact of the incident has expanded indefinitely, not only to the whole country, but also to Britain, France, the United States, Japan and other countries There are many reports about this incident.
Because there was no clue, this incident was uniformly designated as the Yamato Xuan Incident by various countries, and the suspect who did the case was tentatively designated as the Yamato Essentials.
All the forces in Shanghai Tang are in and out of the pretext of investigating and prosecuting Yamato's key criminals, and they are going around to seize other people's territory, and for a while, the entire underground world of Shanghai Tang is reshuffled, and countless small and medium-sized forces are swallowed up by big forces, and at the same time, countless small forces are rising.
As for Ichiro Ono, the new person in charge of the Japanese secret service in Shanghai, who is the victim. He didn't realize that he was a victim at all.
At this time, after searching for many days without results, he had already sent a return call to Japan, insisting that the Yamato Maru had been sunk. As to who sank it, it was a matter for the Great Japanese Navy and the British government, which had customs authority over China.
As an army, he could not manage the sea, nor could he manage the affairs of the sea. The people of the Japanese Admiralty were so angry that your army was incompetent, and let people have no bones left, but let their navy wipe your ass.
It is no wonder that the Great Date Empire has reduced the army's military spending year after year, only increasing the navy's.
It can be seen how wise His Majesty the Emperor is, and the army should be removed from the imperial army sequence. Wherever there is a need for the Army, it will be done by their Marines in the future.
As a result, Japan's army and navy fought a lawsuit because of this incident. The relationship between the two parties, who are already incompatible, deteriorates even more.
This is something Li Tie didn't expect, but it's a pity that he doesn't know Ono, or he may definitely award Ono a Chinese Unknown Hero Medal.
Where is this Japanese spy leader, it is simply an undercover agent of our army who broke into the enemy, inadvertently filled in all the loopholes that Li Tie and the others missed, and directly cut off the clues and opportunities for the enemy to solve the case. So that this Yamato mystery case has not been solved for many years.
Ono doesn't care about the dog-eat-dog things in China, and now he is the highest military governor in Shanghai. Naturally, he had to shake off his majesty first.
Over the past few days, the heads of the liaison points in various offices have met one by one and received countless treasures of gold and silver. It turns out that this job is so lucrative, and if I knew that there would be such a big benefit, I would have killed that guy Yamato a long time ago.
In just a few days, Ono has already received filial piety from all over the world, amounting to 100,000 yuan. And that's not even counting the various cultural relics and treasures that were sent.
"This is a fat gap, we must take care of the home, we have to sit in this position for decades, and I won't let it until I retire." Ono secretly swore in his heart.
Ono received hand cramps as a gift, and the three tycoons in Shanghai received hand cramps as an apprentice.
From the bombing of Yamato's villa to Yamato's suicide, Ono Ichiro came to power, and a comprehensive reshuffle is also taking place in the entire Shanghai concession, because Ono has just taken over Yamato's business, and he is not familiar with the situation of his spies, and many ambitious Japanese are also fishing in troubled waters.
Originally, the Japanese controlled the casino on the ninth floor of the concession, because Yamato Mano died suddenly, and the person in charge of each casino naturally went his own way, and he could make money out of his own pocket first.
The three tycoons, who knew the details of the Japanese, were even more polite, and they had long been interested in the casino business in the concession, so they naturally attacked the casinos in the concession and had many confrontations with the Japanese.
Not only did they rob a lot of Japanese casinos, but there were also many armed fights, knives and guns between the two sides, and you assassinated me and kidnapped me. All along, the entire concession was made into a miasma by the three tycoons.
Japanese casinos used to be able to twist into a rope under the leadership of Yamato, but now Yamato Manno is gone. There are many of these Japanese careerists. has no choice but to scatter the sand, and it is not the opponent of the three strong tycoons at all.
In just one week, seventy percent of Japanese casinos in the Shanghai concession went bankrupt. In the end, the remaining three tenths had to unite against the three tycoons. At the same time, I prepared a generous gift and asked the Japanese consulate and consulates of various countries to mediate.
received a generous gift from the Japanese casino, and at the same time, the three tycoons did not make a lot of trouble during this time, and the expatriates in the concession were also boiling with public grievances, so they were naturally happy to be a favor and became the mediator of the three tycoons and the Japanese casinos.
It is impossible for the three tycoons to give up the casinos that they have finally gotten again, so the two sides bargained, and the final result was that the three tycoons got hundreds of large and small casinos that had been grabbed by way of purchase.
After a week's war, the ratio of casinos in the Shanghai Concession has undergone a fundamental change, from the original number of Chinese and Japanese casinos from 1 to 9 to 7 to 3. The three tycoons ruled the casinos in the concessions.
Both sides have reached the bottom limit, each has withdrawn its troops and truces, each has gone home to prepare a good expansion of strength, and when the time comes, they will swallow the other party alive.
This time the chaos in the concession was also called the Sino-Japanese casino battle in the concession at that time, and the Chinese were repeatedly defeated in the national war against Japan, but they only won a big victory in this gang battle, but it also greatly boosted the confidence of the people at the bottom of the beach.
Now the gang disciples in the concessions don't let everyone look at it and hate it, and often let people with good things stop and inquire about the casino battle at that time, which satisfies the vanity of the Shanghai gangsters, and also lays a certain foundation for the later War of Resistance against Japan, these gang disciples Yongyue joined the army to resist Japan.
Shanghai Tang has been beaten into a pot of porridge, and the Axe Gang, who are the culprits of all these incidents, have already boarded the merchant ship to Hong Kong at this time and started their extraordinary trip to Hong Kong.
