Chapter 191: Sacrifice (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )

Hundreds of tons of trawlers plunged headlong into the raging waves in the darkness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info The furious sea elephant is like a monster trying to struggle out of an impassable swamp. Huge waves crashed against the hull of the ship, and the white spray stirred up in the night sky fell like a waterfall on the deck under the force of the night wind.

In the cries of the wind and waves, the waves kept crashing against the deck, and in the dim cabin, a man rushed out of the door, grabbed the railing of the ship with one hand, and then looked into the distance with some nervousness.

Then another man followed, looking at the raging sea with some nervousness.

"In this kind of weather, those people from the Lu Kingdom shouldn't come out again!"

Shigeru Shimada looked at the sea with some nervousness, although he has lived in China for ten years, he is still used to calling Russia "Lu Country", just like calling the United States "United States", and his habits will not change in three or two days.

Now he was not worried about the weather, nor about the waves that seemed to be swallowing up the boats, but about the Russian patrol ships, which had been intercepted by the Russians in the past month, and which were now patrolling the sea more and more frequently.

"I hope so!"

Jiro Yoshimura nodded solemnly, the reason why he chose such bad weather to go to sea, not for anything else, is to avoid encountering the Russian patrol ship, after all, this ship is loaded with contraband, more precisely, hundreds of thousands of overseas exiled Japanese donated weapons - as many as more than 3,000 rifles, if this batch of guns can be transported to Japan, enough to arm nearly 10,000 people.

But I want to successfully ship the weapon to Japan. It's not an easy thing to do. As a matter of fact. As the resistance intensified, the Russians imposed a tighter blockade on the sea than in the past, as evidenced by the interception of many ships and the arrest of hundreds of comrades at sea, and although they succeeded in sending tens of thousands of weapons to Japan, many more were intercepted.

The trawler continued to sail towards its target in the rough seas, and the captain kept the rudder at full strength to ensure that the course did not deviate.

"You can lower the flag and replace it with a Russian flag!"

Yoshimura shouted loudly that the fishing boats were still flying the flag of the Northeast merchant ships, but with the approaching territorial waters of "Russia", the Russian flag must be raised, and this is also the most dangerous, once intercepted by the Russians, everyone on board will be arrested as spies.

And what will wait for the spy?

A few hours later, the suspended fishing boat finally sailed out of the rough seas into a small bay, which was a natural typhoon shelter. However, it can only berth small tonnage ships, so. Very few ships sailed in.

"Alright, now it's safe!"

Shigeru Shimada breathed a sigh of relief, and he took out his flashlight and prepared to signal to the shore, but after looking at the time, he stopped again - because the appointed time had not yet arrived.

"Just wait two more hours!"

Just as the people on the boat were relieved to hear Shigeru Shimada's words, suddenly, a whistle sounded at the mouth of the bay, and in the next moment, Jiro Yoshimura's face suddenly turned pale - a Russian gunboat appeared at the mouth of the bay, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at them......

The black muzzle of the cannon made everyone's faces change, and some people even tried to jump into the sea to escape to land, but when they swam to land, they were surprised to see Russian soldiers who had been waiting for a long time.

It's all over!

In prison, for Shigeru Shimada, who set foot on Japanese soil again, he never imagined that he would set foot on Japanese soil again as a "prisoner", he was arrested by the Russian military police, arrested on charges of rebellion - he was not Chinese, but Japanese, but for Russia, Japanese are Russians!

What awaits him?

Shigeru Shimada, who was in prison, kept thinking, but he was ready for everything that might happen, and the worst outcome was nothing more than death.

It's a good thing to be able to die in Japan!

Shigeru Shimada silently thought in his heart, in the past ten years, I don't know how many times, he would always recall the plants and trees of his hometown in his dreams, recall the bits and pieces of Japan, even when his son forgot about Japan, he would always teach his son not to forget Japan.

Who can forget their homeland?

In the midst of this exclamation, Shimada Shigeru looked out of the prison through the prison window, looking at the starry sky, which seemed to be no different from the starry sky he had seen in Changchun.

Will the son be able to understand himself?

Thinking of his son, Shimada Shigeru showed a trace of doubt in his heart, his son, who has studied in middle school, has long regarded himself as Chinese, this may be the relationship of education, of course, more of a cultural identity, before the fall of the Meiji government, "leaving Asia and joining Europe" for many Japanese, seems to be the only choice for the country's prosperity and strength, and after the fall of the Meiji government, refugees in exile are all reflecting on the lessons of Japan's demise, and the forgetting of the roots of "leaving Asia and joining Europe" is regarded as one of the roots of destruction.

It is in this reflection that in the face of the reality of the country's demise, many Japanese have made another choice - naturalization as Chinese, because whether it is blood or culture, the Japanese are closer to China, in other words, the Japanese and the Chinese are "the same language and the same species", and naturalization as Chinese is undoubtedly the real way out for Japan. Of course, the more important point is that naturalized Chinese can get better opportunities in China. Benefits such as further promotion in a position will always tempt people to make the choice of "forgetting their roots".

However, Shigeru Shimada could not accept this, and in his opinion, Japan is Japan and China is China. "The same text and the same ancestry" is just a saying, just like Germany is Germany, and Austria-Hungary is Austria-Hungary. Perhaps both the Japanese and the Chinese belong to the same East Asian race, but Japan is not China after all, the Germans and Austria-Hungary are Germans, and in terms of blood, they may be closer than Japan and China, but they are two countries.

It is also because of this that after the emperor was "killed". In the face of the surging resistance in Japan. Shigeru Shimada immediately threw himself into the cause of resistance. In order to seek the liberation of Japan, although he knew that this was extremely unlikely, he always encouraged himself with the history of Spain.

Spain spent 800 years fighting for freedom under ****** slavery, so Japan can do the same, and Japan can also spend 800 years fighting for liberation. Words like these had inspired Shigeru Shimada's heart, but now he couldn't help but question whether his choice was right or wrong, because he had managed to swim to the shore. When escaping from the Russians, it was his compatriots who betrayed him - he was arrested by his own compatriots and sent to the police station.

Eight hundred years, eight hundred years later, are the Japanese still Japanese? By that time, perhaps, they would have long since even spoken Japanese, and had already become more Russians than Russians.

In contemplation, Shigeru Shimada suddenly said to Jiro Yoshimura next door.

"Yoshimura, would you be scared if they were to execute us?"

"Scared?"

Jiro Yoshimura, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, was stunned at first. Then he shrugged his shoulders and said.

"If I had been afraid, I would never have participated in this mission. It's just that...... It's a shame that we won't see the day when Japan becomes independent again......"

For the people who participated in such actions, they knew their fate very well, and the Russians were perhaps very merciful to the Russians, but there was never such a thing as mercy for the "rebellion" of non-Russians like them, especially the Japanese as colored people,

In Japan, the Russians treated the rebels without a trial by a military court, without any investigation, and with very simple direct executions. It was this cruelty that made the Japanese resistance slowly disappear, and now the Russians are using the same method to suppress the uprising staged on the Japanese soil.

Because of this, Yoshimura has long been prepared for such a fate, and he has decided to accept such a fate.

"yes, what a shame!"

With a long sigh, Shimada Shigeru looked out through the narrow window, looking at the earth, and his eyes were full of strong attachment.

In the morning, when the snow had ceased all night, and the open field was silent, and there was no sound except the wind, and a bird flew away from the tree, bringing a little snow down from the branches. The snow fluttered down like white powder, and in front of the trees stood two Orientals dressed as fishermen with disheveled hair, their faces a little generous, and they did not feel any fear of what they were about to face.

They just stood there, and occasionally, they would look around, and they would look at everything around them, with a look of nostalgia, but more of a pity, as if they were sorry for the loss of this land.

Within a few meters of the two men stood ten Russian soldiers in tweed-headed sheepskin caps standing side by side, with Second Lieutenant Ivanov standing aside, while his commander, Captain Warich, read out an order.

“…… Shigeru Shimada and Jiro Yoshimura, who had been engaged in activities against the Russian Empire abroad for many years, now intended to infiltrate the Viceroyalty of Nikolai and supply weapons to the rebels within the Empire. ”

Roll up the "verdict" in your hand, and then the verdict of the provisional military court according to the telegram - in fact, the execution of the rebels requires only an order from a district officer, and there is no need for a military court at all, but sometimes, the formality always needs to be walked, after all, the Russians are more civilized than these yellow monkeys.

Captain Waric walked to the edge of the tree, and next to him was a Japanese man in a woolen coat...... No, it should be said that the Russians who looked like a Japanese race, looked at these two rebels, and his expression was full of hostility without any sympathy. It was the rebellion instigated by these yellow monkeys that plunged the Governorate into its present chaos and turmoil.

"Is there anything else you have to say?"

After the interpreter translated Captain Warridge's words into Japanese, Shigeru Shimada looked ahead and said.

"I still have some rubles in my pocket, and I hope you can donate them to your Red Cross."

After learning about this request from the interpreter, Captain Waric couldn't help but be stunned, looked at this "rebel" a few times, and seemed to be a little puzzled by the other party's choice.

"I thank you on behalf of the Russian people!"

Out of politeness, Captain Waric still chose to thank him. The Russian's thanks only made Shimada smile.

"I'm sure you'll need it soon!"

Yes, they will definitely need it, and the fire of resistance here will only burn brighter and brighter in the future! By that time, there will only be more and more Russians dead!

Captain Waric ignored the rebel's ridicule, and just continued to ask.

"Do you have any more requests?"

"I want to have a drink before I die!"

Captain Warich certainly understood this request, and the Russians also liked to drink, and after he nodded in agreement, a Russian soldier walked up to Jiro Yoshimura with a bottle.

"Vodka!"

Taking the wine, Jiro Yoshimura took a big sip, the heat of the liquor in his throat only made him almost cough it out, and after drinking, he looked at the officer in front of him and said solemnly.

"Please let me give you a piece of advice to the Lu people, Japan is Asian, and it should not be ruled by you Caucasians, no matter how much blood we East Asians shed, we will drive you Lu people out of East Asia, if you want to live, go back to Lucia immediately."

When the Russian soldier next to him heard this, he immediately scolded angrily and said "damn yellow monkey", and was about to rush up to beat this "yellow monkey", but was stopped by Jiro Yoshimura with his hand.

"Although you are not soldiers, I admire your courage!"

Following the example of the Japanese, after bowing slightly, Captain Waric waved his hand, and two Russian soldiers walked up to them with two strips of black cloth, and when they were about to blindfold them, they shook their heads and refused.

"Aim at their hearts, so that they don't suffer, so that they can also show the demeanor of the Russian army!"

As Captain Waric lectured the soldiers, Jiro Yoshimura and Shigeru Shimada looked at each other and nodded at each other.

"Raise your gun, aim!"

"Long live Greater East Asia!"

The two men facing the muzzle of the gun shouted at the same time, and at this moment, the gunfire rang out, and the two fell heavily on the snow.

Looking at the two rebels who had fallen in the snow, Ivanov glanced at them, and sneered at the corner of his lips.

"Stupid Japanese monkeys, they don't know at all, they ...... He was betrayed by his own people! (To be continued.) )
