Chapter 168: Xu Yuanju's "Debriefing"

"Come on, smoke!"

"Chief Xie Qin."

"Fire!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"I heard you've been staying at Xikang?"

"Yes, the main thing is to do something in the Panchen Lama's line."

"It's hard, isn't it?"

"It's okay. There is a living Buddha next to him, and it's not too much worse. ”

"You can be regarded as supporting the construction of Tibet. When you come back this time, Dai Li didn't give you a promotion? ”

"Don't dare. The humble post is only mixed in Tibet for more than half a year, and there is no merit, how dare you say that you are promoted. ”

"After following the Living Buddha for so long, do you believe in Lamaism now?"

"I don't believe it."

"From this point of view, this Panchen Lama's Dharma is limited."

"Buddhism or something, there are opinions on the wisdom of the people, but this living Buddha is actually a bitter person."

"Oh? Tell me, why is he so miserable? ”

"He was expelled from Tibet by the 13th Dalai Lama. …… That Dalai Lama is not a good thing, he thinks that Qinghai-Tibet is his family, and when the former Qingchuan army entered Tibet, he had a conflict with the minister stationed in Tibet. As a result, the Minister in Tibet, what is it called? Oh, it's called Lianyu, this Lianyu sent guards to shoot at the Potala Palace, and scared the 13th Dalai Lama away, ran all the way to Darjeeling, India, and was picked up by the British. The former Qing government was extremely dissatisfied with this, so it announced that it wanted to revolutionize the name of the Dalai Lama and find another Lingtong to replace it. Later, he may have felt that it was not possible, and asked Lianyu to send someone to persuade the Dalai Lama to come back. But at this time, the Xinhai Revolution began, and the former Qing Dynasty was over. Then Yuan Shikai came to power, announced the restoration of the name of the 13th Dalai Lama, and also crowned the 9th Panchen Lama...... Originally, according to the meaning of Beiyang, it may have been to balance the Panchen Lama and the Dalai Lama a little bit and stabilize Qinghai-Tibet. Unexpectedly, after the 13th Dalai Lama returned from India. He stretched into the territory of the Ninth Panchen Lama, and set up a 'foundation sect' in Shigatse, where the Panchen Lama was stationed, to demand taxes and seize power. The Ninth Panchen Lama was not convinced, so he sent people to negotiate, but as soon as he arrived in Lhasa, he was arrested. At this time, the Ninth Panchen Lama felt that the Dalai Lama might want to do something to himself, so he secretly ran to Qinghai, and then went all the way to Lanzhou......"

"The Dalai Lama runs, and the Panchen also runs? However, it seems that this Panchen is still sensible. At least you know where to run. ”

"The Dalai Lama ran away because he was afraid of the minister stationed in Tibet, and he was facing the former Qing Dynasty, so of course he had to go abroad; However, the Panchen Lama is facing the Dalai Lama, so naturally he can only run to the country. However, with the Panchen Lama's long-standing relationship with the central government, there is also recognition of China's great unification. Under normal circumstances, it is really not enough to go abroad. Only the Dalai Lama always wanted to be his emperor in Tibet. The central government is not allowed to put its hand into his territory. will be in conflict with the country. ”

"I know that. In any case, the Dalai Lama and his gang are the brains of Tibet's separatist forces. ”

"Not exactly. Although the 13th Dalai Lama had cooperated with the British before, a few years before his death, he discovered the conspiracy of the British, and made several efforts to extinguish a lot of British power in Tibet. In fact, he just wanted to be his native emperor in Tibet. ”

"What about the Ninth Panchen Lama? You just said that the 13th Dalai Lama is dying, doesn't that mean that he is dead now? ”

"It's dead. However, he died, and the 9th Panchen Lama was not able to go back...... The 9th Panchen Lama left Qinghai-Tibet. Although he was warmly welcomed by local governments, including Beiyang, it was rootless duckweed after all, and the chaos in China was like that, and it couldn't help him. The result was fourteen years of wandering. It's been fourteen years. After the death of the Dalai Lama, the central authorities sent Huang Musong to Tibet to discuss his return to Tibet, but the Tibetan side never agreed. Last year, the government decided to forcibly escort him back to Tibet, only to be blocked again. You also know that the country is now fighting the war again, so naturally it is not good to touch the Tibetan side too much, so you have to stop. As a result, the 9th Panchen Lama failed to survive and died of illness in the Jialapozhang Palace of Yushu Temple in Qinghai...... But he's been dead for almost a year now, and the reincarnated spirit boy hasn't been chosen yet......"

……

After chatting with Xu Yuanju about the situation in Tibet for a long time, Qin Wei had a relatively vague understanding of the modern history of Qinghai-Tibet, which he didn't know much about before. But overall, these things were not much different from what he had known before. The Dalai Lama is a representative of the local tyrant faction and hopes for Tibet's "independence", so he will approach the country for a while, and then rely on foreigners to ensure his absolute control over Tibet. As for the Panchen lineage, he supports reunification, so he has always been pro-domestic. It is a pity that the Dalai Lama is the orthodox head of Lamaism, and his position in Tibet is slightly higher than that of the Panchen Lama, and China has been in civil strife for several decades, making it difficult for the Dalai Lama to intervene in Tibet, so that the Dalai Lama has maintained a state of "semi-independence" for nearly 40 years. This is obviously not conducive to China's reunification, but it is a pity that the central government headed by Chiang Kai-shek has no good way to deal with it, and even the choice of the reincarnation of the spirit child after the death of the 9th Panchen Lama will be constrained by the Dalai lineage.

"If I am not mistaken, the 14th Dalai Lama is a staunch traitor, and if he has the opportunity, he should clean up well." Qin Wei secretly made up his mind, so he sent Xu Yuanju out of the country. Although this guy is dressed up energetically, the sense of exhaustion and alienation revealed by his body cannot be hidden. Thinking about the arrogance of this guy in Chongqing before, it is estimated that he has been very bitter in Xikang for more than a year. Otherwise, even if the two had a disagreement before, they shouldn't be so "polite" to him backstage...... Even speaking so carefully, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like the former stationmaster of the Chongqing Station of the Military Command.

"Dai Li's sending me such an adjutant is a show of favor or a sign of evil?"

********************************

"Watch the course!"

Night.

Listening to the roar of the engine in his ears, Ichimaru Toshinosuke's heart twitched a little from time to time. Like Kikuji Okuda, he is also an aviation commander. However, he is not as long-sleeved and good at dancing as Okuda Kikuji, and he does not have the kind of intimate relationship between the other party and high-ranking officials at all levels. I remember that in order to show that he has made a fortune, Kihisa Okuda once got a boat bell for his alma mater. It was the bell of the armored cruiser Asama, which still hangs on the stage of the auditorium of Kikuji Okuda's alma mater, and even has the inscription "Bell for Serving the Nation" written by the then Minister of the Navy, Mitsumasa Yonechi. This shows how superb Okuda's communication skills are, and it is no wonder that the other party will become the commander of the 13th Air Force, while he, a senior in the first year of high school, is still subservient.

"The Chinese should come to intercept it soon, right?"

Ichimaru Toshinosuke was a little ashamed of his thoughts. In this bombing mission, Kikuji Okuda took the initiative to undertake the more dangerous task of bombing Chengdu. Chengdu was too far from Wuhan for fighter jets to accompany the escort, so bombers had to go on their own. Although Okuda Kikuji has already made arrangements, no one can predict that once intercepted by the Chinese Air Force fighters, the bomber formation will definitely suffer heavy losses, and maybe even Okuda Kikuji himself will not be able to return. And he, bombing the steel plant in Qijiang, Chongqing. Although Qijiang is closer to Chongqing and is more likely to be intercepted by the Chinese Air Force, he is protected by fighter jets and is much safer than Okuda Kikuji.

"I hope we can get the job done." Ichimaru Toshinosuke sighed lightly, and reminded the co-pilot next to him: "It's about to enter Chongqing's airspace, pay attention to the course." ”

"Hey!" The co-pilot nodded in response.

……

"It's so quiet."

Ichimaru Toshinosuke's formation had a total of 41 bombers and 28 fighters, because it was beaten by the Chinese Air Force some time ago, and almost all the Japanese pilots were holding back their strength to retaliate. In their opinion, such a large formation flew over Chongqing, and the Chinese Air Force should immediately take off to meet the attack. After all, that's what the other party has been doing all along. Therefore, when there was still a long distance from Chongqing, the fighter pilots were already tense. But now that they have entered Chongqing's airspace, the expected target has not appeared, and there is not even a little movement, which makes many Japanese pilots, including Ichimaru Toshinosuke, begin to worry about it.

"Could there be some conspiracy?"

Turning a blind eye to an invading enemy is still possible if it is a Chinese army, but this is by no means the style of the Chinese air force. The sweat on Ichimaru Rinosuke's head couldn't help but start to flow down. The Chinese Air Force is not weaker than them in all aspects, except for the number of planes that are inferior to them, and now they are about to reach their destination, and they will immediately drop bombs to bomb their targets, but the enemy does not appear...... It can't be that they didn't find them, right? How could such a large group of planes not be discovered unless they went around in a big circle like the last time they bombed Chongqing, and suddenly rushed in from the direction where the Chinese did not set up air defense early warning units? But even if they go around in circles, they can buy them about ten or twenty minutes at most. And now, they have been flying over Chongqing for half a day, but there is not even half a hair in the sky of the Chinese Air Force......

"Could it be that they went to intercept Okuda-kun? It's impossible, even if it's to intercept Okuda-kun, it's impossible to send out all the fighters. But ......"

"Dazuo, there is Qijiang in front...... I see the steel mill! ”

A piece of light.

Ichimaru Toshinosuke forced his attention to shift his attention from the eerie situation to the ground, where there was a bright light. If the course is not wrong, it should be the steel factory that Chinese built in Qijiang, and it is said that there is also an arsenal...... In the faint light, he could even see several towering chimneys.

"It doesn't matter so much, since the Chinese Air Force is not coming, then this sky is up to us. Anyway, the bomber will be more flexible after dropping the bomb, and if the enemy attacks at this time, it will be just right for the enemy. Time is pressing, Ichimaru Toshinosuke gritted his teeth, "Order all planes, prepare to drop bombs!" (To be continued......)
