Chapter 273: The Beatles

Apparently, her information was deliberately destroyed or transferred. If that's the case, then things are even more suspicious. With authorization, the investigators went to the confidential room of the Public Security Bureau to try their luck. After a night of searching, I finally found out the background of Mrs. Sato: Mrs. Sato was originally a Japanese nurse, her original name was Sato Yako, and she was the head nurse of the Japanese Legation in China in the early days of the Republic of China. At that time, Jiang Baili, a famous military strategist in modern times, committed suicide with a gun in protest against the Beiyang regime, but fortunately, he was rescued in time and saved his life. Later, due to the care of Miss Sato, a transnational marriage was finally promoted. Despite the strong opposition of his Japanese family, Sato Yako resolutely married General Chiang Baili in 1914. After getting married, Jiang Baili, who loves plum blossoms, personally named his wife Zuomei.

Jiang Baili and Zuo Mei had five daughters, the third daughter, Jiang Ying, who was a soprano singer who was well-known in the international music scene in China at that time. So, it's a celebrity home. Although Mrs. Zuo Mei is Japanese, she never teaches her daughters Japanese, and the family usually converses in an authentic Beijing dialect. During the Anti-Japanese War, Mrs. Zuo Mei said: "The war between China and Japan is the fault of the Japanese warlords' aggression!" In 1937, Jiang Baili donated his car to the country to support the Anti-Japanese War, and Mrs. Zuo Mei sold a lot of jewelry and valuable things, bought cloth and gauze, and together with her daughters, rushed to make military uniforms and bandage gauze day and night, and sent them to the front line to treat the wounded.

But this is not amazing, what really shocked the investigators was the husband of this soprano singer Jiang Ying. He studied in the United States in his early years, under the famous scientist Feng Murphy. Carmen is a division, and Qian Xuesen, a strategic weapons expert who is called worthy of five divisions by the US Department of Defense! In other words, this old Japanese lady is the mother-in-law of Qian Xuesen, a Chinese national treasure-level scientist. In the political environment of the time, and out of personal protection, this kinship was deeply hidden.

It turns out that Yoshiko Nakajima's real target is Qian Xuesen!

This is a major discovery. made everyone break out in a cold sweat, especially when they learned that this Yoshiko Nakajima was going to bring a "gift" to Ms. Zuo Mei from Japan. As a result, the Fourth Bureau of Public Security launched an arrest operation overnight, controlling Yoshiko Nakajima, Kajiki Cage and others, and fundamentally eradicating this sabotage activity of the Japanese intelligence department.

The country is celebrating the victory of this counter-espionage operation in a cold sweat, but Tang Ning is busy with another thing at the moment. That was the Beatles' concert in Japan, in fact, this concert was not received by Downing, and he didn't like the Beatles' music style very much, and the next event was his old friend and collaborator, Sakurai of the Osaka Business Group.

Of course, Sakurai can't be an avid Beatles fan, and he took on this concert because Yoko Ono, the wife of Beatles lead singer John Lennon, was born into a Japanese aristocratic family, her ancestors were important ministers of the daimyo of Kyushu Yanagawa during the Warring States period of Japan, and now his family has several very large factories in Osaka. He has close ties with the Osaka business group, so Sakurai will agree to help with this.

Although Downing and Sakurai didn't like the Beatles' music style, in fact, the Beatles' status in the world music industry at this time was unshakable by anyone.

This rock band from Liverpool, England, is led by John Murphy. Lennon, Paul. McCartney, George. Harrison and Ringo. Stahl consists of four members. Founded in 1960, the band's music style originated from the rock music of the 50s of the 20th century, and later developed psychedelic rock, pop rock and other genres.

In 1962, he released his first single "LoveMeDo". In 1963, he released his first album "PleasePleaseMe". Hit the top of the British pop album chart for 30 consecutive weeks??。 On April 4, 1964, he set a record of topping the top 5 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. In the same year, he won the 7th Grammy Award for Best Band for the song "AHardDaysNight".

Early 1964. released his debut album "MeettheBeatles" in the United States; On February 7, it was publicly shown for the first time in the United States. On February 9, it appeared on the CBS TV program "TheEdSullivanShow" in the United States, attracting more than 73 million viewers across the United States and sparking Americans' interest in British music. This year, the Beatles went on a series of tours that were all successful. and led the "British invasion" in the United States;

The Beatles were successful both commercially and artistically. In the 60s of the 20th century, they set off "Beatlemania" around the world; They have conquered young people from all over the world with their anti-upper-class, anti-orthodox artistic style, the incisiveness of their songs that dare to touch on socially sensitive issues, and their demeanor in challenging the world on stage. Many of their songs express the disappointment, depression and resentment of a generation of young people in capitalist society, and their singing has influenced the artistic taste, clothing and hairstyle, lifestyle and attitude of a generation.

And Yoko Ono and John Lennon's acquaintance and love are even more dramatic, in 1964. Yoko Ono performed her most famous performance work "Slices" for the first time in the Carnegie Recital Hall: a randomly selected audience member was asked to cut her clothes to shreds with scissors until she was naked. At that time, John Lennon was sitting in the audience, and Yoko Ono was sitting upright on the stage, saying, "Come on, cut off my clothes, wherever you want; Each person should cut out no larger than a postcard, and please give this piece to anyone you love. One by one, the audience took the stage and cut Yoko's clothes in silence until she was naked. This was the first time Lennon met Yoko, and then the two were together. (I feel like these are two psychopaths.)

Although the two organizers, Downing and Sakurai, did not like the Beatles, in fact, the Beatles held a three-day concert at the Tokyo Budokan, which had a capacity of about 14,000 people and sold out twice a day. NTV broadcast the daytime concert at 9 p.m. that day, and despite being a one-hour abridged version, the ratings were as high as 56.5 percent.

In order to maintain order, more than 1,000 police officers and Downing's gang members were finally mobilized to barely maintain order on the scene, even so, it was still difficult to stop the idol power of this British tornado, the Beatles were stranded in Japan for 102 hours, 6,500 teenagers were detained, and the government collected 60 or 70 million yen in bail alone, which shows the craze of rock and roll at that time.
