713 Burning of the Yasukuni Shrine
In the midst of the fire in Tokyo, one place has to be mentioned, and that is the Yasukuni Shrine.
Yasukuni Shrine is a place where Japan enshrines the spiritual tablets of all Japanese soldiers who died in the war, in the era of Lin Fei, it is notorious for enshrined the spiritual tablets of Class A and Class B war criminals in World War II, and in this era, the Yasukuni Shrine is dedicated to the Japanese soldiers who died in the First Sino-Japanese War, the War of Aggression against Taiwan, and the Nanyang World War, and even the Japanese soldiers who died in the recent Battle of Luanchang Mountain are also enshrined in the Yasukuni Shrine.
In the Monkey King's airship plan to bomb Tokyo, Lin Fei handpicked the Yasukuni Shrine as a key target, with the aim of severely humiliating Japan, because the Yasukuni Shrine can be said to be the spiritual pillar of Japan's foreign aggression, and the Japanese soldiers were proud to enter the Yasukuni Shrine after their deaths, and the whole country was full of worship for the Yasukuni Shrine, and Lin Fei wanted to severely knock down the things that Japan worshipped and then smash them again.
The Monkey King Airship 72 variants undertook the task of bombing the Yasukuni Shrine, which is different from the Japanese Imperial Palace, which covers a large area, and is surrounded by green space everywhere and clear rivers, which can be seen at a glance from the sky, while the Yasukuni Shrine is much smaller than the Japanese Imperial Palace, and it is not obvious from the sky.
Fortunately, the Yasukuni Shrine is relatively close to the Japanese Imperial Palace, and the Yasukuni Shrine can be found after finding the Japanese Imperial Palace, so the 72nd Variant quickly locked on the target and dropped an incendiary bomb at the Yasukuni Shrine.
The incendiary bomb carried on the Monkey King airship is the "KRS-100-1" type, where "KRS" stands for "aviation incendiary bomb", "100" means that the diameter of this type of incendiary bomb is 100 kilograms, and "1" is the first model, which is the official number of this type of incendiary bomb, and it also has a popular name - fire rat.
"Fire rat" is a kind of strange beast from the ancient Chinese classics, according to legend, this strange beast lives in the burning forest, weighs more than 1,000 catties, the capillary is slender and silky, it dies when it encounters water, the cloth made of the skin of the fire rat can be clean as long as it is dirty.
Each of the fire rat incendiary bombs weighed 100 kilograms, and each Monkey King airship could carry 30 pieces, so in order to completely blow up the Yasukuni Shrine, Lin Fei specially arranged for a Monkey King airship and threw all 30 incendiary bombs in the Yasukuni Shrine.
The 72 bugles flew over the Yasukuni Shrine and dropped all 30 fire rat incendiary bombs, the first four of which landed in the open space of the Yasukuni Shrine, where officials from the Tokyo City Hall were paying respects, and the four fire rat incendiary bombs directly burned more than 30 officials to charcoal, including Tokyo City Mayor Komoto Teraro.
The fifth, impartial, landed right on the main hall of the Yasukuni Shrine, one of the most important buildings in the shrine, and is a place to worship the gods, where the emperor's artifacts -- the Yaga mirror and the grass pheasant sword -- are hung.
The Japanese emperor has three artifacts, according to legend, it is given by the god Amaterasu, the eight-piece mirror, the grass pheasant sword and the eight-foot qiong jade, which is a symbol of the power of the Japanese emperor, and the status is equivalent to the jade seal of ancient China.
The authenticity of the Yatsuya mirror is enshrined in Ise Jingu, the authenticity of the grass pheasant sword is enshrined in Atsuta Jingu, and the Yasukuni Shrine is enshrined in imitations, but in the eyes of the Japanese, the imitation of Yasukuni Shrine has the same divine power that cannot be desecrated.
However, the Japanese are proud of their divine power, but in front of the Chinese Empire's fire rat incendiary bomb is not worth bullshit, the fifth fire rat incendiary bomb fell, directly smashed through the roof of the main hall, the moment the fuse was activated when it smashed through the roof, the fire rat incendiary bomb exploded in the middle of the main hall, the huge fireball directly lifted off the roof, and the eight mirrors and the grass pheasant sword were directly engulfed by the sea of fire.
The Eight Mirrors were blown to pieces by the shock wave, and the Grass Pheasant Sword was melted by the high temperature generated by the aluminum powder!
The main hall was on fire, and the staff of the Yasukuni Shrine were panicked, because the Yasukuni Shrine was a place of communication with Amaterasu, so how could it catch fire?
The librarians hurriedly put out the fire, and while they were fighting the fire, several more fire rat incendiary bombs fell near the "Youshu Museum".
"Yushukan" is a building in the Yasukuni Shrine, the name comes from the ancient Chinese classics -- "Xunzi", this is a museum, showing the "merits" of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire in the east and west, everyone who comes to visit the Yasukuni Shrine will come to visit the Yushu Museum, pay homage to the "great achievements" of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, so as to learn from the Imperial Army, so to speak, the Yushukan is a mouthpiece for propagating the idea of militarism.
Three fire rat incendiary bombs exploded near the Yushu Hall, and the high temperature instantly ignited the Yushu Hall, and the entire Yushu Hall was surrounded by flames, igniting a sky-high flame.
There are a large number of posters in the museum, with themes such as "Conquest of the Chinese Empire", "Revenge for the Nanyang World War", "Recreating the Heroic Style of the Qing and Japanese Wars" and so on.
Among them, the "conquest of the Chinese Empire" was to call on the Japanese to actively join the army and attack China; "Avenging the World War in the South Seas" is to use the incident of Lin Fei killing more than one million Japanese to incite hatred, and as for the real cause of Lin Fei's killing of civilians -- Japan first massacred Chinese civilians, the Japanese Government does not say a word.
"Recreating the heroic style of the Qing and Japanese Wars" includes sinking Qing warships, capturing Zhenyuan, accepting the surrender of the Beiyang Fleet, breaking through Lushun and launching a massacre, and so on.
These posters were all reduced to ashes in the fire caused by the fire rat incendiary bombs.
There are also a large number of physical objects in the museum, including the military uniform worn by the commander of the 1st Division, the commander of the 1st Division, the commander of the 1st Division, the used command knife, the marching bag of ordinary soldiers, family letters, etc., among which there is a family letter written by a wife to her husband, in order to let her husband fight with peace of mind, the wife committed suicide at home, and before committing suicide, she wrote a letter and sent it to her husband on the front line.
These things were burned to black ash by Lin Fei's fire rat incendiary bombs.
The entire Yasukuni Shrine turned into a sea of flames, and the pride and madness of the Japanese were thrown into the flames by Lin Fei.
In the midst of the sea of fire rising in Tokyo, the Golden Hoop Stick flew over the Tokyo Imperial Palace, the Tokyo Imperial Palace and the Yasukuni Shrine, which were the two targets that Lin Fei chose to bomb when he was making his plan.
The Tokyo Imperial Palace, also known as the "Imperial Palace", covers an area of seventeen hectares, most of which is woods, lawns and flowers, and the building area is relatively small.
Lin Fei's bombing of the Tokyo Imperial Palace is definitely of greater political significance than military significance, and the bombing of the Imperial Palace is a deterrent to the Meiji Emperor himself, Lin Fei just wants to tell the Meiji Emperor, I can blow up your lair, you give me honesty.
The Golden Hoop Stick threw one fire rat incendiary bomb after another, and the fire rat incendiary bomb exploded in the Tokyo Imperial Palace, causing a fire.
At this time, the Meiji Emperor was in the Chang Palace, the Chang Palace was the inner palace of the Meiji Emperor, and it was the place where the Meiji Emperor lived, and the Meiji Emperor was already shocked, because the whole Tokyo was on fire, and the Meiji Emperor was roaring angrily: "What's the matter, how did Lin Fei hit my side?" ”
The attendants around Emperor Meiji were speechless, and none of them could answer him, and at this moment, a violent explosion sounded throughout the palace, and one of the attendants hurriedly ran in and shouted in a panic: "Your Majesty is not good, there is a fire in the main hall, and there is also a fire in the Nagawa Hall." ”
The main hall is where Emperor Meiji handled government affairs, and the Nagawa Hall is the place where Emperor Meiji received worship from the people, and these two buildings, both of which are the most important buildings in the Tokyo Imperial Palace, caught fire at the same time, almost making Emperor Meiji faint in anger.
Emperor Meiji stretched out his arm and swept all the books and pens on the table (Japan is influenced by China and attaches great importance to writing with a brush, so Japan also has calligraphy, and calligraphy masters are respected no less than Huaxia), Emperor Meiji roared loudly: "Call me Heihachiro Togo, call me Youpeng in Yama County, what's going on, why was my palace also beaten by Lin Fei?" ”
The attendant said in a panic: "Your Majesty, let's hurry up and hide, the fire has already rushed towards our Chang Palace." ”
Emperor Meiji had no choice but to follow his attendants out of the house, but when he came outside, he saw that there were flames and smoke everywhere, so where could he hide!
At this time, the three wives of the Meiji Emperor ran over one after another, and the Meiji Emperor had three wives, one of whom was the empress, and the other two were the pawns, who were equivalent to the "concubines" in ancient China.
The three concubines are usually graceful and luxurious, and their manners are dignified, but in the face of the fire that Lin Fei made, their dignity was gone, the queen Ichimiko cried into tears, the warden Yanagihara Aiko trembled all over, and the pawn Yuan Xiangzi's legs were weak, and she barely stood up with the support of the two maids.
Emperor Meiji was even more angry when he saw the three ladies so embarrassed, he couldn't even protect his own woman, what kind of man was he.
At this time, the Chang Palace behind him suddenly burst into flames, and the flames then ignited the surrounding trees, at this time the trees in the Japanese Imperial Palace are all pine trees, Japan is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, Chinese culture admires pine trees very much, and believes that pine trees are evergreen in all seasons is a symbol of nobility, so Japan also admires pine trees, and the Meiji Emperor is even more so, so that the trees planted in the Tokyo Imperial Palace are pine trees.
The pine tree has pine oil, which is particularly easy to burn, and when it encounters fire, it immediately burns, and the entire imperial palace is enveloped in fire, and Emperor Meiji and his three ladies are in danger for a while.
Facing the raging fire, an attendant was in a hurry and pointed to the pond not far away, "Your Majesty, let's hurry up and hide in the pond." ”
Emperor Meiji frowned when he saw the pond, the recent silting of the palace waterway, the Meiji Emperor in order to save money to develop the army, did not allocate funds for maintenance, the water in the pond has not flowed for a long time, has been covered with green moss, far away you can smell a "refreshing" smell, even the ducks and water birds in the palace are far away from this pond.
