Chapter 392: Interest
Chapter 392 Interest
Seeing the scene of the Japanese soldiers stabbing the Korean workers to death, there was a chill behind the Chinese and American personnel on the dock, especially when they saw the indifferent smiles of the Japanese.
"Kara..."
After taking a few steps back, the marines and Americans on the dock took out the pistols on their waists and loaded them directly, lest the Japanese kill them after a while.
The naval soldiers on the transport ship and the capital ship in the distance were even more in an uproar after seeing the scene just now.
If I have to say, the Wehrmacht has not done this kind of thing, for example, in Iraq and the southern Volga River, where the resistance and Soviet Russia have a lot of activities, and in the face of the resistance, the local expeditionary force will never be relentless.
Sometimes, even in the face of the family members of the resistance, they will not be relentless.
Many of the Marines who came to Japan with the fleet had done the same thing in Iraq, except that most of them used bullets.
However, as now, blatantly stabbing a few North Koreans to death in front of outsiders, such a thing cannot be done even by the Wehrmacht, even in World War II, several countries of the Axis countries were not also sneaky...
In particular, the phrase "just a few North Koreans" is even more chilling...
At this time, after seeing the Korean workers being stabbed to death on the spot, the Koreans on the dock seemed to be in a catastrophe, and they all held their heads and tried to escape from the dock, but in the end they were all smashed to the ground by the Japanese soldiers on the pier.
In the end, a few clever Koreans jumped into the water, intending to escape by water, but in the end they were shot directly by the Japanese soldiers on the pier in the water...
"What's wrong with these Japanese? Could it be crazy! β
Seeing this crazy scene on the dock, although they are two different countries, the Chinese side and the United States still lean on each other.
As for the rescue fleet and the US ** ship? Even the dullest people knew something was wrong when the gunshots streaked across the sky, and when they saw what was happening on the docks, they could barely believe their eyes...
"What the hell is going on..."
Looking at what was happening on the docks, Sa Zhenbing couldn't believe that it was done by the Japanese who had a smile on their faces when they came, however, it did happen...
If I had to say it, the original Japanese really wouldn't and didn't dare to do such a thing, at least not in front of everyone, not to mention that there were still many Japanese victims and Chinese and American rescuers nearby.
However, don't forget, it's been a few days since the Great Kanto Earthquake, and in these few days, thousands of Koreans have been killed, if it weren't for the fact that the Chinese had been protected in the barracks early, and after hearing about what was happening in Tokyo, Saionji Kobo, Yama Prefecture Aritomo, and War Minister Yamanashi Hanzo also strongly ordered the army to protect the Chinese in the barracks, otherwise, I am afraid that even the Chinese in the barracks would sufferββββββ you know, the massacre of Koreans is not the same" In addition to the Youth Self-Police Corps, the military and police are also a very important component.
If it weren't for the Xionji Gongwang and Yamanashi Hanzo, and the most important thing was the direct order of Yama Prefecture Youtomo, I am afraid that the Chinese stationed in the barracks might really suffer some unfortunate things, but even so, the Chinese in the barracks still suffered some troubles, but even so, it was much better than the North Koreans who were slaughtered outside.
However, such a situation may not last long, because Yama Prefecture Youpeng has been dying, in history Yama County Somemo died in 1922, and now because Japan's development is not as smooth as another time and space, Yama County Youpeng has lived for more than a year .......
However, for more than a year, I'm afraid it's already the limit...
ββββββββββ
Although the Chinese were not slaughtered like in another time and space, the Koreans who came from the colonies and were already slaves of the country obviously did not have such good luck.
In just a few days after the end of the earthquake, at least 6,000 North Koreans were massacred by the "Youth Self-Police Corps" and soldiers and police, and the blood of these more than 6,000 victims was enough to draw out the bestiality in the bones of the Japanese.
"I didn't expect what the president said before leaving to be true..."
Seeing the Japanese piling aside the bodies of the stabbed Koreans while allowing the shot Koreans to float on the sea, a cruiser captain muttered.
Inside the bridge of the battleship [Star Sun Horse], Sa Zhenbing and the other admirals also had expressions of disbelief.
Especially Sa Zhenbing, remembering what Yan Guang said to him before leaving...
"The Chinese in the city, nothing will happen, right..."
After seeing the inhuman scene just now, Sa Zhenbing began to worry about the Chinese in Tokyo.
"You all go back to your respective ships first..."After thinking carefully in the bridge, Sa Zhenbing said to the captains of the ships on the bridge. Immediately after returning to the ship, combat readiness will be carried out, if the Japanese make the slightest move..."
Sa Zhenbing, who was originally confident that the Japanese would not do anything, is now not very sure in his heart.
After hearing Sa Zhenbing's order, the generals and officers in the bridge also nodded after looking at each other.
"Understood!"
In a few minutes, the bridge, which had been filled with officers of all ranks, became empty.
The officers of all ranks, who had been piled up in the bridge, returned to their respective ships in the speedboats they had taken.
After receiving Sa Zhenbing's order and seeing everything that had just happened on the dock, although the warships of all levels floating in Tokyo Bay did not aim their guns at Tokyo, the nerves of the sailors on the ships were tense.
On the surface, however, what had just happened on the docks was like a trivial episode that did not cause anything.
Under the gaze of the Japanese soldiers, the Japanese and Korean workers were still busy carrying the goods on the transport ship like worker ants, and some "youth self-police regiments" and Japanese soldiers also carried the Japanese victims in their hands to the hospital ship docked at the dock.
What happened on the dock just now did not hinder any soldiers about the rescue.
But...
From the hands of American and Chinese soldiers on the dock holding their weapons, you can understand how impressive the scene just made for them...
The North Koreans who were stabbed to death in the wailing will probably never forget the scene that just happened for the rest of their lives...
ββββββββββ
During the time when the rescue fleet was docked on the dock, the victims and wounded were constantly transported onto the hospital ship, and the workers on the dock were constantly transporting medical supplies and other supplies such as food and other materials off the ship...
Fortunately for Sa Zhenbing and the others, in these few hours, except for the scene that happened on the dock at the beginning, the rest of the time was relatively ordinaryββββββ except for those North Korean workers who were often beaten with the butts of their guns...
"Commander, Ambassador Tong just sent a telegram..."
It was already afternoon, when Sa Zhenbing was enjoying afternoon tea in the bridge, the captain of the [Star Sun Horse] came over with a telegram.
"Oh? Is it Tong Kong's telegram? β
Sa Zhenbing was a little strange, but after thinking of what happened a few hours ago, Sa Zhenbing himself was also nervous. ..., fortunately, there was nothing bad on the telegram, it just hoped that Sa Zhenbing would send some soldiers to the embassy and take charge of the security of the embassy.
"So..."
Nodding, Sa Zhenbing put the telegram away.
At this time, the captain of the Star Sun Horse spoke.
"Ambassador Tong has already contacted the Japanese, and in about half an hour, Ambassador Tong's motorcade will come to pick us up..."
"That's good!" Sa Zhenbing nodded. "You can arrange it."
"How many?"
"After all, this is Tokyo, the capital of the Japanese, so if you can't irritate them, it's better not to irritate them... Just send a platoon of men over..."After thinking about it, Sa Zhenbing spoke.
Although there is only one platoon, the Marine Corps is definitely one of the most elite branches of the Wehrmacht, especially when it comes to equipment. If you have to say it, a platoon of marines, even if it is a whole company of Japanese troops, it is no problem, after all, the difference in firepower between the two sides is too great.
However, in the same way, the cost of equipment is much higher than that of the average army unit, so the number of marines in the Wehrmacht is not very large, and so far there is only one army.
After receiving Sa Zhenbing's order, the captain of the Star Sun Horse quickly went down to make arrangements, and it didn't take long for a platoon of marines to be ready and ready to take the landing craft at any time.
About half an hour later, Tong Kong's convoy appeared on the dock.
Since the Wehrmacht was not equipped with amphibious vehicles at this time, there were no landing ships in the accompanying fleet, and it was impossible for the landing craft to load cars, Tong Kong's convoy had several trucks in addition to ordinary cars, which were specially used to load marines.
After Tong Kong's convoy stopped at the wharf, the marines, who had been preparing for a long time, docked at the wharf with all their equipment and landed on the wharf.
In addition to a platoon of marines, there were also Sa Zhenbing himself and several other admirals, but Sa Zhenbing had already arranged everything before leaving, so there was no need to worry about any emergencies when he arrived.
"Sa Lao, long time no see..."
After seeing Sa Zhenbing coming up from the landing craft, Tong Kong hurriedly stepped forward.
Although Tong Kong has a small status in the national government, when he saw Sa Zhenbing, who was already in his sixties, Tong Kong still showed a posture of a junior.
This is not just because Sa Zhenbing is old enough, but more importantly, Sa Zhenbing is the Minister of the Admiralty, and he is also the most influential person in the Navy except for Yan Guang, which is true even after the influence of the Fujian system has been weakened, so after seeing Sa Zhenbing, Tong Fantasy is not respectful.
"Oh, it's Xiao Tong..."
Seeing Tong Kong, Sa Zhenbing also nodded.
"It's been a long time, maybe it's been more than two years, since you arrived in Japan..."
The current Guoshe government, except for the personnel who originally inherited from Beiyang, is generally younger, and people like Tong Kong are at most only in their thirties and can already take charge on their own, so it is normal for Sa Zhenbing, who is in his sixties, to be called Tong Kong Xiaotong.
Although Tong Kong also has a small status in the national government, he is still very respectful in front of Sa Zhenbing.
"Sa Lao..."
Not long after, Sa Zhenbing and Tong Kong got into the car together, and as for the marines in that platoon, they boarded a few cars brought by Tong Kong.
After Sa Zhenbing got into the car, he noticed that he was in a bulletproof car, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
"How is it going, how does it feel to work in Japan?"
Hearing Sa Zhenbing's words, Tong Kong smiled bitterly, and at this time, the car just started, and after a shock, the car slowly drove forward. "It's okay..."With a wry smile, Tong Kong said slowly. "Although when I first took office, the glass of the embassy was often smashed by the Japanese at night, and I was also assassinated by Japanese wild samurai when I was traveling, but in general it was not bad......... But that's just before..."
Saying that, Tong Kong pondered for a while, as if thinking about how to continue, but at this time, when the convoy was driving through a street, a yellow man dressed in civilian clothes suddenly ran out of the corner of the street...
Because the man ran out so suddenly, the first car of the convoy even almost hit him.
"What's going on!"
Seeing this guy who suddenly ran out, Tong Kong and Sa Zhenbing's faces were both sideways, especially Tong Kong directly pulled out a Browning pistol pinned to his waist.
In the past few assassinations, there have been several openings with such beginnings, so there is no reason why Tong Kong is careless.
It's just that while Tong Kong was still there to be careful, a few more men ran out of the corner, and when they saw the convoy on the road and the national flag hanging on the front of the convoy, these men glared at the convoy with vicious eyes.
But it was only a vicious glare, and after a while, the men dragged the guy who had fallen a few meters because he almost crashed into the car, and the man let out a scream like a pig.
Then...
"Poof! Scold! β
After separating the man from the convoy a few meters away, the men took out the knives and other cold weapons they were carrying, and then slashed at the man's body one by one.
At first, the man still resisted a little, and his right hand even grabbed the blade of a person's knife, but when his hand was chopped off along with his arm...
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
The whole process lasted less than half a minute, and after half a minute, when the men dispersed, the man who was originally surrounded by them had become a little "scattered"...
Seeing this scene, the embassy personnel in the convoy almost threw up, and even the Marines who had been on the battlefield in the truck frowned, and some even clenched their weapons.
However, some of the people, soldiers, police, etc. on the street, except for a few who screamed or showed unbearable expressions, the rest all looked like they were turning a blind eye, and some people also let out bursts of cheers when the men cut knives at the man...
"The Self-Police Corps..."
Looking at the scene happening outside, Tong Kong said softly after pinning the pistol back to his waist.
"Self-police regiment?"
Because Sa Zhenbing had participated in the First Sino-Japanese War, when the scene outside happened, although Sa Zhenbing frowned, there was no other adverse reaction. However, when he heard Tong Kong's words, he still said a little strangely.
"What vigilante?"
After slashing the fallen man, several men with knives looked at the convoy with a vicious gaze, but when they saw the convoy followed by several trucks of Marines and guns in their hands, they turned around and retreated back to the corner of the street.
Their move not only disappointed the team members, but also relieved.
At this time, after the convoy moved forward again, Tong Kong, who heard Sa Zhenbing's question, also explained.
"The Self-Police Corps, the full name of which is the Youth Self-Police Corps, is a special organization formed by local youth, of course, there are usually some elderly people after the earthquake to maintain local order, rescue and martial law..."
At this point, the convoy could no longer see the "scattered" corpse that had been chopped. ..., "Although it's a self-police group, it's more appropriate to say that a group of devils are coming...", Tong Kong's expression also became a lot more distorted. "At the beginning, these self-police regiments were indeed carrying out the task of maintaining local law and order and martial law, but later, with the acquiescence and indulgence of the local Japanese army and police, these young people of the self-police regiment suddenly became crazy, and at this time, I don't know why the news about the Koreans taking advantage of the chaos to set fires and riots was also spread in Tokyo, so the people of the self-police regiment began to frantically search for the Koreans living in Tokyo, and gathered these Koreans to massacre, in the process of massacreβ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ In the process of the massacre, many Japanese soldiers and police also participated, although there is no clear data yet, but it is believed that at least thousands of Koreans have been slaughtered in the past few days, as for the scene just now, it is actually very common in these days..."
Saying that, Tong Kong glanced at Sa Zhenbing.
"The telegram requesting reinforcements had actually been sent to Beijing a long time ago, because not long after the earthquake, the Japanese not only began to massacre the Koreans in Tokyo, but also many Japanese began to surround the embassy.
"But these are nothing, what worries me the most is the Japanese soldiers who are on the duty of guarding, because many of the Japanese soldiers who participated in the massacre of Koreans a few days ago are also Japanese soldiers, and I can't imagine what will happen if these Japanese soldiers suddenly riot............... That's why I'm asking Beijing for reinforcements..."
There is another reason, that is, Saionji Kobo and Yama Prefecture Aritomo were also frightened by what happened in Tokyo.
Historically, Yama Prefecture Aritomo died in 1922, so he didn't experience the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923ββββββ and he didn't know if it was a cause for celebration, or...
However, this time, because Yamaguchi Aritomo lived for more than a year, he also had the opportunity to see with his own eyes what happened in Tokyo during the Great Kanto Earthquake.
As for the public hope of Xiyuan Temple? In history, he was brought down by Youpeng in Shanxian County, but now, he is a powerful figure supported by Youpeng in Shanxian County.
Saionji Konobo and Yamaguchi Aritomo, these two people may have different political opinions, but they still have the same views on some things, and because of this, when they learn about what is happening in Tokyo, they can hardly believe their ears.
After all, the massacre of the North Koreans is really a bit appalling...
Well, in fact, they have done more appalling things, such as in Lushun, for example, in other places, but this is Tokyo, the capital of the Japanese, although Tokyo is in ruins because of the earthquake, but at least 6,000 Koreans were slaughtered in Tokyo at one time...
It is also for this reason that the Japanese government will allow Sa Zhenbing to bring marines into the embassy, after all, the embassy is usually guaranteed by the local government, as for the garrison in the embassy? Often, it's nothing more than symbolic.
However, after the massacre of the Koreans, even if Yamaguchi Aritomo and Saionji Gongnobu were both influential politicians within the Japanese government, there was no guarantee that everything would go as they wished.
After all...
In many cases, the Japanese military is just too crazy ...
ββββββββββ
The location of the Chinese embassy in Japan is not remote, but it is not very close to Tokyo Bay, and the whole of Tokyo was shaken by the earthquake, and many roads are no longer usable, at least not by cars, so by the time the convoy arrived at the embassy, a full half an hour had passed.
And in this half an hour, because the team needs to take a small road many times, the team has seen the same thing many times along the way, which also gives Sa Zhenbing and others a more intuitive understanding of what happened in Japan...
"What a crazy people..."
At this moment, Sa Zhenbing finally understood what Yan Guang said before leaving, and at the same time dispelled the last trace of illusion about the Japanese nation.
So after entering the embassy, Sa Zhenbing brought a platoon of marines, and soon guarded the entire embassy tightly, bringing a rate of fire of up to 1200 rounds per minute of the Type 19 8mm squad machine gun was also erected on the fence and the building inside the embassy...
Soon, the entire embassy was solid...
But even so, there are still a lot of Japanese people around the embassy, and it's clear that these Japanese are more interested in the Chinese embassy than the British and American embassies...
At the same time, the rescue activities in the port were still going on.
