The 448th Earthquake and Revolution IV

Kita Ikki was sitting in a tavern in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo, in a private room with a wine glass in his hand. The boss here turned out to be an inferior prostitute in Kabukicho, and he had an unclear relationship with the down-and-out Kita Ikki. Later, Kita Yihui became a minister, so he paid for her to open this tavern. However, it was the first time for Kita to spend money here, and he actually made an appointment with a special guest to meet here.

A woman in her forties, dressed a little charmingly, opened the curtain and came in and whispered, "Sir, the guest has arrived, and there is only one person." Bei Yihui sighed and smiled at her: "Please close when he comes in, I want to talk to him alone." ”

The woman nodded in agreement and went out with a nervous expression. After a while, I saw a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a donkey face and a pair of small eyes, walking in, and looking back from time to time, as if he was afraid that someone would be watching. "Mr. Kita, something big is wrong, something big is about to happen in Tokyo!" The person who came was none other than Nosaka Sanzo, secretary of the Special Committee of the Japanese GCD Far East, and one of his GCD leaders actually made an appointment to meet with the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs! It is a little bit of a betrayal of the revolution!

Kita Ikki and he used to know each other, both of them were high-level members of the Japanese National Socialist Party, Kita Ikki was the secretary general, and Nosaka Sanzo was a general of the Katayama faction. With Katayama's current favor in front of Emperor Hirohito, Cheng DΓΉ probably has a chance to become a minister in the future, right?

"Nosaka-kun, what's going on? How did you get back home? Kita made a gesture to sit down, and before Nosaka could sit down, he began to ask questions. Kita Kazuki knew that Nosaka had been assigned to serve as an official in the Far Eastern State before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War. He was a little surprised to see that he was in Tokyo now.

Nosaka Sanzo sat down with a wry smile: "It's a long story, it's really a long story...... In fact, this time I returned to Japan on the Chinese submarine No. 00! ”

"Nani?" Kita Yihui was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes at Nosaka, and said for a long time: "What is the purpose of the Chinese sending you back?" Do you want to...... Establish a channel for secret negotiations? But now formal negotiations are about to begin......"

Nosaka Sam Sanbei Kazuki looked inexplicable, he raised a hand and smiled: "Don't guess, you can't guess this matter." Actually, if I just say it, you're probably not going to believe it...... The Chinese sent me back to Japan in order to use me to lead a revolution that overthrew the emperor! ”

"Push, push, overthrow whom?" Kita Yihui's eyes widened, and his face was incredible.

"Overthrow the Emperor!"

"How is this possible!" Kita Yihui stared at Nosaka Sanzo for a long time, and shook his head: "Nosaka-kun." You can't be stimulated by something, right? ”

"Of course, the excitement is not less!" Nosaka picked up the bottle on the table, poured himself a glass of sake, and drank it all. "But no matter how irritated I am, I won't be able to swim back to the mainland across the Sea of Japan, right?"

Bei Yihui said: "But you alone cannot overthrow the emperor, the emperor is the grandson of the gods, and no one can overthrow him." ”

"I'm not the only one." Nosaka said: "There are a few others who came back with me, and in addition, the Chinese have arranged for 00 Korean dead soldiers to infiltrate Japan disguised as imperial troops to prepare for something in Tokyo in September." ”

Bei Yihui snorted, but still shook his head: "What can 00 people do?" There are tens of thousands of police officers in Tokyo alone, and the barracks of the Guards Division and the 1st Division have recently been filled with new recruits...... Not to mention 20,000 or 30,000 people! ”

"Does this have anything to do with getting things done?" Nosaka smiled coldly. "The Chinese want to use us to do things. It doesn't mean that you want to get things done! ”

"What does Nosaka-kun mean?" Kita Yihui asked.

Nosaka smiled slightly and leaned over to Kita Ichiki. He said in a low voice: "I suspect that Chinese real purpose is to sow discord between Japan and the Soviet Union...... I'll tell you the truth, I'm the leader of GCD Japan! ”

"Japanese GCD! Nosaka, you actually joined the GCD ......"

Nosaka Sanzo shook his hand and said with a smile: "Of course my GCD is fake, Chinese I have to do it...... They formed the party in Japanese concentration camps in the Far East, pretended to be under the leadership of GC International, and planned the September attack on Tokyo. Nosaka gushed out all the salt and vinegar he knew. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said: "In short, they are all some unsightly tricks!" Mr. Bei, you hurry up and report to the Prime Minister, let him mobilize the army to smash the tricks of the Chinese, don't let them succeed! ”

……

Peng's thud. The office door of Yoshikazu Tanaka's official residence was slammed open.

In the office, Yoshiichi Tanaka and Ninji Okamura were still discussing things. The two of them looked up at the same time, and saw Kita Yihui standing there with a flushed face, and a secretary of the Prime Minister's official residence standing behind him with an embarrassed face, not knowing what to say with his mouth open.

Yoshiichi Tanaka waved his hand at the secretary, and smiled at Kita Yihui: "Kita-kun, you came just in time. I'm looking for you with Okamura-kunmasa. ”

Kita Ikki was just gasping for breath, but he trotted all the way from Shinjuku Kabukicho to the Prime Minister's Office!

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister! Something is going to happen in Tokyo, and it's September! ”

Tanaka and Okamura looked at each other, and they both looked unimpressed. Okamura smiled, "What can happen on September Day?" Now China has begun negotiations with the Empire. They don't mention that curse in their own newspapers, and I'm just a joke, Beijun, you shouldn't believe it, right? ”

Kita Yihui ignored him, took another breath, and said in a deep voice: "Just now I met Nosaka Sanzo, the backbone of the Katayama faction of the National Socialist Party, who is the former mayor of Boli City...... He said that he was captured by the Chinese after the fall of Boli and was forced to join the Japanese GCD! Now he has been sent back to China by the submarine of China, preparing to lead an armed rebellion, which will be held in September in Tokyo! Now 00 North Korean terrorists have infiltrated! ”

"Nani!" Okamura Ninji had already jumped up, his face full of anger. Three hundred North Korean terror points have infiltrated Tokyo! He, the head of army intelligence, didn't know anything. If they are allowed to go on a killing spree in Tokyo, he will not have to apologize!

Yoshiichi Tanaka sat steadily, silent: "What can you do with just 00 horror points?" Chang Ruiqing won't only have this wisdom, right? Could it be that he is really crazy? ”

Kita Ichiki shook his head and said, "According to that Nosaka Sanzo's analysis, the purpose of the Chinese's move is to destroy the friendly relations between Japan and the Soviet Union. ”

"Japan-Soviet friendship?" As soon as Tanaka Yoshishi heard this word, he snorted coldly: "Beijun, I am looking for you for this matter, the imperial army that retreated in the territory of the Soviet Union is reporting, and now there is a GC doctrine in the army to carry out propaganda and agitation, and there is also a red organization in the name of the Taisho Restoration Society to expand its power in the army!" Moreover, suspected GCD activities have also been discovered in the country, and there are some indications that Katayama is the instigator behind these GC activities! ”

"Actually. Is there such a thing? It can't be a mistake, right? This time it was Kita Yihui's turn to be dumbfounded, and he knew that Katayama was thinking left-leaning. But I never thought that this person would really start a red party.

"Grab that Nosaka Sanzo and interrogate it, don't you know if there is a mistake?" Yoshiichi Tanaka sneered and asked Kita Kazuki, "Where is that Nosaka?" ”

"In ...... Inside my house. ”

Tanaka said to Okamura, "Send someone to arrest it immediately!" After being caught, we must interrogate them well, and we must find out the situation of Katayama's collusion with the Soviet Union, and we must also find out what is going on with those 00 North Korean terrorists. ”

"Hay!" Okamura answered, got up and went out of the office to arrange for the arrest. Only Yoshiichi Tanaka and Kazuki Kita were left in the office. Tanaka's eyebrows were twisted, and he didn't speak with a gloomy face. Kitachi Hui knows

It was impossible for him to worry about those 00 terrorists, so he asked tentatively: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, are you worried about the negotiations?" ”

Tanaka Yoshiichi's eyes flashed, and he nodded slightly: "Beijun." What do you think of the conditions proposed by China? ”

Bei Yihui said: "Xiaguan thinks it is very generous. He paused, and then said, "Your Excellency." It's not too late for you to take revenge for ten years, and now what the empire needs is to lie down and try your courage, not to continue this war that has already been defeated......"

Tanaka Yoshiichi shook his head and said, "Beijun, do you really believe that Shina will return the Far East Coast and North Korea's territory to the empire?" That's nearly 400,000 square kilometers! And the resources are abundant, enough for the empire to build one of the strongest armies in Asia within ten years! He snorted softly: "After the end of this war, the national policy of the empire going south is destined to be unenforceable, whether it is the army or the navy, it will take revenge as a national policy!" Do you think that the dictator of China will really do something to raise tigers? ”

"But Britain and the United States are now putting pressure on China. They need Anglo-American capital and technology. Kita Yihui analyzed.

Tanaka Yoshiichi sneered: "But what if the empire unites with the Soviet Union to fight against China?" Do you think Britain and the United States will still support the empire? ”

Kita Yihui shook his head: "No!" ”

Yoshiichi Tanaka's eyes were heavy. "So how could the dictator of China, who wanted the empire to ally itself with the Soviet Union, do anything stupid to sow discord between Japan and the Soviet Union? That Sanzo Nosaka must be lying! ”

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister means...... The whole affair was actually a conspiracy of the USSR? But how did the Soviet Union send 00 Korean dead soldiers to the empire itself? ”

Tanaka Ha smiled: "These people may have been in Tokyo for a long time!" He said coldly: "But I will not let such a conspiracy succeed!" Beijun, don't make a noise about this matter first, and concentrate on preparing for peace talks. That Nosaka will be handed over to the Army Intelligence Bureau to be rectified, and Okamura has a way to get him to speak! ”

Kita Yihui bowed slightly to Tanaka Yoshiichi and turned to leave the office, and just as he stepped out of the room, he suddenly heard Tanaka behind him muttering in a low voice: "I don't understand." The situation is really getting more and more incomprehensible, the Soviet Union, China, Chang Ruiqing, and Katayama Qian, I really don't know what they want to do...... Surely something will happen on September Day? ”

Nosaka Sanzo, who "betrayed the revolution", was taken away from Kitaikki's mansion by agents of the Japanese Army Intelligence Bureau on the afternoon of June 26, 92. According to the later confession of this "great traitor", he was taken to a secret prison of the Japanese Army Intelligence Bureau. The gang of black-hearted Japanese spies tortured him that night. Because it was Okamura Ninji who personally explained it. Of course, the people below did not dare to slack off. After a serious and responsible torture, this Nosaka didn't stay up until dinner and confessed everything he knew.

After getting Nosaka's confession, Tanaka Yoshiichi entered the Akasaka Imperial Palace that night to see the regent Taihirohito. On the one hand, he exposed Katayama's conspiracy to collude with the Soviet Union in an attempt to overthrow the imperial system, and on the other hand, he asked the regent to issue an edict in the name of Emperor Taisho and declare martial law in Tokyo. The remaining units of the Guards Division and the 1st Division, as well as the Japanese troops of the two newly formed divisions temporarily stationed in Tokyo for training, were ordered to carry out martial law duties.

Early the next morning, a large number of army officers and soldiers in khaki uniforms patrolled the streets of Tokyo. Bands of soldiers searched and interrogated from house to house, sentry posts were set up at major intersections in and out of Tokyo, and every man who wanted to enter the Japanese capital was checked, and anyone with the slightest North Korean accent was immediately arrested! The North Koreans who worked hard in Tokyo also suffered from the seedlings. Most of them were arrested as terrorists by the Japanese military and police. By the afternoon of the 27th of the month, the total number of arrests reported to the Tokyo Martial Law Command for suspected Korean terrorists exceeded 000, ten times more than Chang Ruiqing sent to Japan! Important buildings in Tokyo were searched several times, and after making sure that there were no bombs, additional military and police officers with loaded guns were stationed on guard, and idlers were strictly forbidden to approach. In short, the current capital of Japan looks like it is facing a great enemy.

At the same time, the Tanaka cabinet did not forget to continue to calm people's hearts. Newspapers and loudspeakers in Japan, as well as loudspeakers on the streets of Tokyo, are spreading the news over and over again.

However, the Tanaka cabinet is doing nothing to prevent the catastrophe that the earth's crust will bring. September 92. In other words, the day of the Great Kanto Earthquake in history came very quickly.

……

When the September sun poured in through the window of Tangshan's mansion, Chang Ruiqing was already sitting on the mahogany bed and reading the text. This past night. It was probably the last night Chang Ruiqing spent as a "mortal". Accompanying him was Wang Ruonan, who already had the charm of a young woman, and Chang Ruiqing, who was about to be treated as a monster or a fairy, did not fall asleep all night, staring at the ceiling, thinking about all kinds of things in his heart. The main thing is to estimate what might happen in Japan after the Great Kanto Earthquake. At five o'clock in the morning, Gao Xiaowen knocked on the door of Chang Ruiqing's bedroom and sent him a report from the Government Affairs Council, all about peace talks with Japan. Chang Ruiqing really didn't interfere much in this matter, and handed it over to civil officials such as Pan Yucheng, Zhang Junmao, and Wang Zhengting to handle it, and he just submitted the report to the Government Council every morning.

Chang Ruiqing's current report has nothing important on it. After China agreed to armistice negotiations. The Japanese began to put on a show, looking reluctant to negotiate, refusing to send a delegation to the peace talks, and expressing dissatisfaction with the choice of the venue for the talks in Shanghai. The ambassadors and envoys of Britain and the United States, on the other hand, carried forward the spirit of the emperor who was not in a hurry and was a eunuch, and moved around Tokyo and Nanjing, showing a full set of diplomatic skills, and proposing one peace draft after another. It also applied both soft and hard to China and Japan for a while.

Closing the above jiΓ n, Chang Ruiqing pressed the bell to call people, and the waitress in white overalls quickly brought Chang Ruiqing and Wang Ruonan's clothes over. And he waited for the two of them to get dressed, and after they had washed themselves. Chang Ruiqing took his wife Wang Ruonan's hand and came to the small restaurant of the official residence. A steaming breakfast was already set on the table, and Chang Ruiqing's wives and concubines and two sons were already sitting around the table. Gao Xiaowen, who was in the name of a secretary, stood aside with a stack of Chinese and foreign newspapers. This girl is obviously more suitable for the work of a secretary than Sun Yuexun, she can speak English, French and German three foreign languages, and she can write well, and her writing is also very good, which means a talented woman.

"Xiaowen, what important news is there in today's newspaper?" Chang Ruiqing smiled at the girl and asked.

"It doesn't matter too much." Gao Xiaowen said. "The main reason is that Japan has imposed martial law in Tokyo in the past few days, and terrorists have been arrested everywhere, and the outside world has speculated and ...... It has something to do with that remark of the gentleman. ”

"What else?" Chang Ruiqing picked up a small steamed bun and put it in his mouth and chewed it. "What are the Japanese doing besides martial law?"

It is at noon today, the emperor, the imperial dowager, and their prime minister and cabinet ministers will collectively pay respects at the Yasukuni Shrine. It is said to be for this war...... The Japanese officers and soldiers who died in their country prayed for blessings. ”

Hearing the news, Chang Ruiqing burst out laughing, shook his head and said, "Then they can be regarded as picking a good day." He paused, and then said, "Xiaowen, do you have any important schedules this morning?" ”

"At half past ten in the morning, Mr. will come to the parliament to make an important speech to the members of the legislative and senate houses, and have lunch with Mrs. Sun at noon."

Chang Ruiqing shook his head and said, "Let's put it off when I spoke in the parliament in the morning...... I'm going to pay homage to the Martyrs' Shrine. Invite Mrs. Sun and Chairman Hu to come and have lunch in the canteen of the Martyrs' Shrine. Don't arrange any delicacies from the mountains and seas, just have four dishes and one soup, by the way, notify the intelligence bureau, and report any news from Japan to me immediately.
