Chapter 221: The Holy Maiden

Yoshida Zengo and Yamamoto Fifty-six Tong weighed the scales provided by the kiosk, and the total weight of the gold sent by the mysterious woman was as high as fifty kilograms. Through the mouth of the guard, Yamamoto Fifty-six learned that the gold was in a black suitcase, and that the mysterious woman had brought it with one hand, along with a note. When the guard opened the suitcase to check, he was dazzled by the glittering gold bars.

Yamamoto Isoroku and Yoshida opened the note, which contained only a few sentences, about the commander of the Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto, to meet at a certain location at the Tokyo Bay pier before 6 p.m., and about the gold, the note said that it was donated to the Combined Fleet for the use of new ships. The name of the person who wrote the letter was Yamato Nadeshiko.

"Yamato Nadeshiko?"

Yamamoto Isoroku and Yoshida Zengo glanced at each other, and no one could figure out what was going on with this mysterious person who suddenly appeared and the "Tianlin" windfall.

Yoshida Zengo said to Yamamoto Fifty-six: "I have some connections on the side of the special high-tech, so I can immediately ask the people of the special high-tech to help investigate." ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six picked up a gold bar, put it in his hand, and replied, "Don't tell them about the gold bar for the time being, I feel that this matter is extraordinary." ”

Yoshida agreed, and soon he made a phone call, and the two men packed the bars back in boxes and shipped them to the Navy headquarters building in Tokyo for safekeeping, where they called in experts to help determine the authenticity of the gold. Three hours later, an appraiser called from outside determined that the gold was genuine.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, the people from the special high-tech department called the headquarters of the Navy. Sue them for information about this mysterious woman named "Yamato Nadeshiko".

"This woman, Yamato Nadeshiko, suddenly appeared in Tokyo three weeks ago. She rented a storefront near the port of Tokyo Bay, opened a small clinic, and hired a few female students to treat locals for free. Not only do you not need money, but you also pay for the medicine. ”

Zengo Yoshida, who was in Yamamoto's office, asked into the phone, "Does she have documents?" Has the origin been ascertained? ”

"No papers!"

"What's going on?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was also strange: "The police in charge of security in that area are her followers, they concealed that she did not have documents, it should be said that they took the initiative to help her get fake documents." ”

"Poof!"

Yoshida Zengo, who was on the phone, almost squirted saliva onto the microphone, and soon an explanation voice came from the other end of the phone: "As soon as we checked and asked about it, those fake policemen took the initiative to confess." They said it was the woman named Yamato Nadeshiko. They also said that the Holy Maiden also wanted them to tell you and His Excellency Yamamoto. If you're scared, you can bring some sailors along. ”

"Baga!"

Yoshida Zengo scolded in his heart, exchanged a few more words with the person opposite on the phone, and learned that the people of Tegaoke have now mobilized people. Surround the small outpatient shop on the edge of the harbor and keep a surreptitious surround. And the other party is now asking Yoshida if he wants to arrest someone.

Yamamoto Isoroku, who was listening on the sidelines, said to Yoshida Zengo, "Don't let women look down on you. Let's go for ourselves. ”

Yoshida nodded in agreement.

A few minutes later, Isoroku Yamamoto and Zengo Yoshigo shared a car and drove in the direction of the port of Tokyo. Out of a mentality that doesn't want women to "look down on". The two took only a driver and a guard who had seen the woman's appearance.

Cars walking on the streets of Tokyo.

Compared to two years ago, the streets of Tokyo are a little more dilapidated, and along the way, you can see signs such as "Clearance Sale" and "Last Seven Days" hanging on the storefronts on both sides of the street. Since its defeat in 1936, Japan is now suffering from the double torment of war foreign debt and economic crisis. The closure of a large number of factories led to a large number of unemployment, which limited the consumption capacity of the country, and even caused a large number of goods to be unsalable in the country. Goods are unsalable, merchants go out of business, which in turn acts on factories and enterprises, thus forming a terrible vicious circle.

Britain and the United States, which have big businesses and large capital, can alleviate the economic crisis by means such as large-scale national investment in infrastructure construction, but Japan, which has just been defeated in the war, will not be able to get this money. The Americans "kindly" agreed to lend Japan a loan, but the precondition was that Japan would take the initiative to reduce its naval quota, and this "good deed" was also abandoned because of the strong opposition of the navy. Many Japanese who could not survive are now forced to emigrate to the northeast to join the reclamation group.

But now is not the "good times" of the 1933 immigration to the Northeast, with the unification of China south of the Great Wall. There was a great development in the activities of the guerrillas of the entire Northeast China Anti-Japanese Federation, and after the Leningrad negotiations ended in 1937. A large number of PLA troops entered the Soviet-controlled areas of Mongolia and the Far East, and directly entered the northeast through the border between the Soviet Union and Mongolia to conduct guerrilla warfare.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Soviet Union's attitude toward Japan has also taken a 180-degree turn. Stalin was always obsessed with the fact that half of Sakhalin Island was occupied by the Japanese, and the establishment of New China immediately greatly eased the Soviet Union's international strategic situation.

In the whole of last year, according to reports from the Northeast, within a year the Kwantung Army fought more than 2,000 times against the PLA guerrillas who crossed the border with the Soviet Union, and the Kwantung Army suffered more than 20,000 casualties. In the process, the Soviet Red Army even dispatched troops on the border line to meet the retreating Chinese guerrillas, and skirmishes on the border line also occurred from time to time.

The scale of the battles between the two sides was not large, and almost all of them were fought at the company and platoon level. Both China and the Soviet Union used this to train their troops and familiarize themselves with the climate and environment of Northeast China. And the target they aimed at was the Japanese invasion of China's reclamation regiment. In addition, special attacks were carried out on bridges, warehouses, barracks and other key departments, in addition to recruiting a large number of soldiers from the local Chinese and killing traitors.

It was precisely because of the constant harassment of the Chinese guerrillas that the Japanese reclamation regiment had completely withdrawn from the area within 100 kilometers of the border line of the three northeastern provinces. Now the Northeast. People's hearts are fluctuating, and the rumor that "the People's Liberation Army is about to fight" is flourishing day by day. In order to alleviate the pressure of unemployment in the country, although the Japanese desperately wanted to emigrate to the Northeast, the poor "public security" environment in the Northeast affected the work of immigrants, and only the Japanese who could not live could live would venture to the Northeast.

It is precisely because of the constant harassment by guerrilla special operations that the "cost of maintaining public order" in the northeast remains high. In order to pass on the crisis, Japan has intensified its exploitation of Northeast China, North Korea and other places in recent years, making it difficult for the local people to make a living. The locals completely turned to the PLA guerrillas. Now the Northeast. It seems that there is no big war, but everyone knows that this is a powder cartridge that will burst at any time. Not only things, but even North Korea, which has finally quieted down, has begun to resurgence of guerrilla activities for more than a year. And behind the North Korean guerrillas. Obviously, there are the shadows of China and the Soviet Union.

Historically. The Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation was almost completely wiped out in the Anti-Japanese War, in addition to the Kwantung Army, which was strong enough to encircle and suppress it with all its might, there was also a lack of foreign aid. Northeast weather and climate are harsh and other factors.

However, since 1937, the guerrillas operating in the northeast have received extremely strong external support. In addition to a steady stream of ammunition supplies through the Soviet Union and China, aircraft could even be sent for airdrops or even air support if necessary. In the harsh winter, the Soviet side openly opened its borders, allowing the northeastern guerrillas to withdraw to China through the Soviet Union to "spend the winter". Unless Japan has the ability to defeat both the Soviet Union and New China at the same time, the guerrillas in the northeast will be a deadlock with no solution.

In the current northeast, there has been no major fighting between China and Japan, and between the Soviet Union and Japan, but the small fighting and skirmishing have never stopped for a day. New China did not want the Japanese to be at peace, and Stalin, after talking with Lin Han, also planned to let the Soviet Red Army "train and train its troops" through this low-level conflict -- after hearing about the great damage done to the Red Army by the Great Purge, and the clumsy performance of the Soviet Red Army in the first year of the Soviet-German war, Stalin's confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Red Army suffered a considerable blow. Therefore, while the cleaning and washing continued, the training of the troops was tightened in turn.

In the past, when the Soviet Union openly supported China's military actions, the Japanese Army would have openly declared war on the Soviet Union long ago. But today's Japan is strategically too bad. There is Red Russia in the north and Red Branch in the south, and in the face of the front and back squeezing of the two major red forces, one south and one north, the pressure of the Kwantung Army today can be imagined, and people with a little brain in the upper echelons of the Kwantung Army dare not do this. Because everyone understands in their hearts that if there is really a war against the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union and Japan have good relations, and New China, which is "so good as wearing a pair of pants" with the Soviet Union, will definitely cooperate with sending troops to liberate the Northeast.

Now even the most arrogant madman in the army department no longer dares to shout "devouring China", "the north refuses to expose the naked, the south suppresses the violent branch, and defends the lifeline of Manchuria!" It's the verbal scare of the army's red deer.

On the way to the port, Yamamoto Isoroku suddenly said to Yoshida Zengo, "The Northeast is actually unstoppable. ”

Yoshida Zengo sighed: "If you can't hold it, you have to defend it, if you lose the Northeast, Korea will definitely lose it, and the empire can't do without these two places." ”

In fact, the entire upper echelons of Japan understand the crisis in Northeast China and Korea, but no one dares to pierce this point, let alone shout: "Return Northeast China to China in exchange for peace in Korea," because those who dare to shout like this will definitely be condemned as a "national thief." The current Tohoku is no longer a piece of fat, but has become a centipede that burrows into the stomach of the Japanese, and every time it is "stirred", the whole of Japan is not at peace.

While talking, they looked at the street scene outside the car, and they saw that there were many more beggars on the roadside than last year, but the traffic on the road was much sparser than last year, and a large number of merchants were doing "clearance auctions" before they closed down, but no one cared about the mountains of goods piled up at the door. At present, Japan is mired in a quagmire of hope that can be floated at a moment's notice.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the car took the two to the port of Tokyo Bay, where the people of Tegaoke had been waiting for the two for a long time. Under the guidance of the special high-tech staff, the two found the house called "Nadeshiko Clinic".

It was a small two-story Western-style bungalow, and the original owner was a business owner, but this year he went bankrupt and was forced to sell the house, and the mysterious "Yamato Nadeshiko" paid for the house.

The person in charge of the special high-tech department is named Mori Goro, and he is an old friend of Yoshida Zengo, and when he sees him, he whispers to him about the situation:

"I asked the previous owner, and the woman was very mysterious, and when she bought the house, the money she used was gold!"

Yoshida thought to himself: "She just donated fifty kilograms of gold to the Navy today. ”

"You didn't go in and ask?"

"As you mean, we're just watching from the outside. But it's not easy to get in, you see, those policemen, the ones standing outside, they are protecting her, who is this woman? ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six also noticed that there were four policemen wandering around outside the "Nadeshiko Clinic", and on the surface they didn't seem to be doing anything, but in fact they formed a confrontation with a dozen or so special high-tech agents hidden nearby.

Yoshida said, "Tell your people to leave, don't let her see jokes anymore." ”

Mori Goro waved his men away, and Yoshida Zengo and Yamamoto Isoroku straightened their clothes and walked to the clinic together. When the four policemen patrolling at the gate saw the two of them, they hurriedly greeted them and respectfully said to the two: "Your Excellency Yamamoto, Your Excellency Yoshida?" The Holy Maiden has been waiting for you inside for a long time. ”
