November 11, 1950, Ogura Swiss Army Knife Factory.

The factory, which used to be the rumbling of machines, is silent today, with all the machines not moving, and the factory gates are closed, and all the workers are frowning and silent.

At this time, a rapid and rhythmic knock broke the silence, and a young man holding a rifle and wearing a guard uniform came to the door and asked cautiously, "Is it Captain Okubo?" ”

"Who else can knock out this kind of signal but me, hurry up and open the door!"

When the guards heard the voice of Okubo, the head of the factory's security department, they hurriedly opened the small door, and at the same time, several guards who were also armed with guns also came over and became vigilant.

The small door opened, and the first to come in were several women and children, who sat down on the ground as soon as they entered, as if they had exhausted their strength and could not get up again, and near the gate rushed several men dressed as workers, holding their wives and children, and the whole family hugged their heads and cried.

Okubo, who came in later, said impatiently: "What are you crying for, haven't you seen it all, you guys, hurry up and take your wives and children to the dormitory in the back to settle down, don't make trouble here!" ”

Several workers hurriedly bowed deeply to Okubo and several gun-wielding guards behind him, and said in unison: "Thank you Director Okubo for saving our relatives, we will never forget this kindness!" ”

Okubo waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't say nice words, working hard in the future is the best reward for me and the boss." ”

After the workers and their families dispersed, Higashino, the current director of the Ogura Swiss Army Knife Factory, came over and said, "Okay, Okubo, you guys are tired from going out this time, go to the duty room and have a good rest, hot water and hot dishes are ready." ”

The rest of the team obediently walked towards the lounge, while Okubo was dragged aside by Higashino and asked in a deep voice, "Okubo, how is the outside now?" ”

Okubo took the water cup handed over by Higashino, took a big sip, and said, "It's a mess." These are like crazy people, they rob women when they see them, kill men when they see them, and smash things when they see them. Finally, I'm quite familiar with Okura's roads, walking in small alleys, and I haven't met a few waves of, and the Okinawa brothers who came with me this time have good marksmanship, forcing those to dare not approach. But even so, it can't save a few people, and now the city is too chaotic, many people are hiding, it's too hard to find, and there are too many, to say the least, there must be hundreds. By the way, didn't you say that you had contacted the boss before I left, and what did the boss say? ”

Higashino pondered for a while and said, "The boss said. The GHO (General Headquarters of the U.S. Forces in Japan) has sent a military police brigade to suppress it, but now not many people in the outside world know about this matter, and the General Headquarters is completely blocking the news, after all, the impact of this incident is too bad. ”

Okubo breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that someone can come to suppress it, if it goes on like this, the entire Ogura will have to be destroyed!" Hey, I don't know where these came from, I haven't seen them in over a year in Ogura. ”

Higashiki replied absentmindedly, "Oh, I know this, they are the 24th Company that was sent by Gifu to the outskirts of the city supply base a few days ago. Basically, all of them were blacks, and I heard from a few people who fled that they were afraid of being sent to the battlefield in Korea to die, so they rioted! ”

When Okubo heard this, he snorted: "What kind of soldier do you dare not go to the battlefield?" I don't have the ability to fight the enemy on the battlefield. But there are brave Huo Huo people, these guys are just shot and picked up, I don't see much. ”

Dongye replied lightly: "If you don't shoot them back, they won't survive, although the general headquarters is afraid that the impact will be too bad so they close the news, but this kind of thing will definitely be severely punished, especially these guys are still black, and there is no chance of easing at all." And then. He diverted the subject again and asked, "By the way, Okubo, I'm really curious how you are so familiar with the terrain of Ogura, as if there are no secret passages in all the alleys that you don't know." ”

Okubo replied with some embarrassment: "Isn't this a problem left over from the previous mixed society, at that time, I picked up my wallet every day, and if I didn't prepare an escape route in advance, if I was caught by the owner, I would have to be beaten to death, so I slowly developed the habit of being familiar with all the terrain when I got to a place, and I always had no bottom in my heart if I didn't figure it out." ”

Dongye couldn't help but smile and pat him when he heard it: "I didn't expect that the habit of being a pickpocket back then will come in handy now, just wait, the boss will definitely reward you after this incident." ”

Okubo shook his head: "I don't need it, the boss has given me enough, if I hadn't met the boss, I guess I wouldn't have survived now, either starved to death or was beaten to death." It's you, I hope the boss can reward you well this time, so that you don't have to think about it all day. ”

While the two of them were chatting, a guard ran over and reported: "There are a few policemen outside with a few refugees who want to come in and take refuge, can you let them in?" ”

Higashino asked in a deep voice, "Do you know these policemen?" ”

The guard replied, "I know each other, and I have dealt with them in normal times. ”

Higashino nodded and said, "That's good, let them in." ”

Okubo interjected next to him: "Hehe, these policemen are really useless, they don't even have a gun in their hands, they are not as good as us." ”

Higashino sighed: "It's not that they are useless, but that there is a problem with the current situation and policy, if the General Headquarters does not relax the control of weapons on the police, I think there will be more chaos in the future, but I estimate that this riot will be calmed down soon." ”

Higashino was not mistaken, after the arrival of the 12th gendarmerie, the whole situation eased, the riot soldiers did not dare to appear in public again, and after three days the whole riot was completely quelled, all the rioters were arrested, the leaders and the perpetrators were executed, and the remaining people were also scattered to various parts and executed soon after, but the whole thing was forcibly blocked by the General Headquarters.

The General Headquarters had no choice but to do so, because the war was now going on in Korea, and the war situation was currently very unsmooth, so Japan, as a large rear base, absolutely could not be chaotic at this time, and in view of the problem of the Japanese police's weapons in this riot, the General Headquarters decided to relax control in this regard, which was also the prototype of the later establishment of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. (This riot was a real thing, it happened in July 1950, but because I forgot it beforehand, I had to move it to November, so please forgive me!) (To be continued.) )
