Chapter 494: Headlines

"Extra, extra! The Japanese royal family organized tomb robbery, and the 14 tombs of Qingxi were ransacked! ”

"The seven leaders of the tomb robbery gang have all been arrested, all of them are Japanese dignitaries, and the leader is the prince of Japan!"

"The puppet Manchurian regime is unbearable and oppressive, and the Japanese dig Puyi's ancestral grave as punishment!"

"Big news, Japan's economy is on the verge of collapse, and it can only rely on tomb robberies to make up for the deficit!"

"Sir, let's have a copy, the latest news, the Japanese have stolen the Qingxi Tomb, and the treasures alone are loaded with fifty trucks!"

"Is it true?"

"It's definitely true, don't believe it! I heard that the gold dug up blew the tires! ”

……

After a busy night, the next morning, all major Chinese newspapers and even many foreign news agencies received the news that the Japanese imperial family had organized personnel to rob the tomb. Moreover, the tomb robbers such as King Shengren of the East Kure Palace were all captured in front of everyone, and the evidence of people and materials is there, and there is no room for quibbling!

Soon, newspapers with photographs of tomb robbers such as King Morihito of Higashikunomiya spread throughout the country, and even fast-moving European and American newspapers began to reprint the shocking case. On the front page, King Shengren of the East Kure Palace suddenly became the most well-known prince from the most obscure royal family, and the prince who robbed the tomb was sent to the bandits.

The British and the Yankees also painstakingly analyzed Japan's motives, and agreed that this was a government action by Japan to retaliate against and suppress the puppet Manchu royal family while mitigating the deterioration of the economy.

In short, a basin is tied to the heads of the Japanese imperial family and government, and they can't be removed if they want to. The criminals are still in the hands of the World War II zone, not to mention that there is a Japanese prince inside. Jumping into the Yellow River can't wash it away!

The Nationalist Government also took the opportunity to publicize and harshly ridiculed the puppet Manchu Emperor Puyi, just to say that you are not licking the eyes of the Japanese? Why was the ancestral grave dug up?

Of course, in addition, the chairman and his wife were also very concerned about the whereabouts of these seized treasures, and sent more than 20 telegrams in a row to inquire about this matter, asking Zheng Weiguo to restrain his subordinates and not to embezzle state property. It was not until Zheng Weiguo called back that he would hand over these treasures to the state for disposal and asked the central government to send personnel to receive them.

"Yaga!" Okamura Ninji was so angry that his face turned pale. Threw several newspapers all in the face of Chief of Staff Anda Twenty-Three. He reprimanded angrily: "Look at the good things you have done, the face of the Great Japanese Empire is about to be lost by you!" ”

"Hello!" Because of the involvement of his own son, Anda Twenty-Three did not dare to refute at all, thinking of the consequences of this matter. Immediately sweating profusely. He even trembled nervously.

An attendant military attache suddenly stood in front of the door. Salute: "Report!" Your Excellency, the military police of the country have arrived! ”

Okamura Ninji replied tiredly, "I know the truth, please let them in!" ”

"Hello!"

A squad of gendarmes walked in, heavily armed. Saluted: "Your Excellency Commander, we are ordered to take Lieutenant General Anda 23 back to China to receive the investigation!" ”

Anda Twenty-three almost fainted when he heard this, as if all his strength had been drained, he collapsed directly to the ground, and muttered: "I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I don't know about this matter!" ”

Okamura Ninji glanced at it in disgust, waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”

Several gendarmes stepped forward directly to disarm Anda Twenty-Three, took off their collar badges and cockades, and together they carried him out. When Anda Twenty-three was about to go out, he didn't know where the strength came from, so he suddenly broke away his two arms and turned around and shouted: "Your Excellency Commander, there must be a secret in this matter, please be sure to give your humble post a clear name." ”

Okamura Ninji sighed and said, "It's no longer up to me to decide this matter!" ”

A few days later, Okamura was ordered to return to China to report on his work, and the post of commander of the North China Front was temporarily replaced by Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo. Several of the officers involved in the case were not even qualified to be caesarean section and were directly taken back to China for trial. Chief of Staff Adatsu Twenty-three, Engineer Chief Kio Tanabe, Wing Commander of the 219th Infantry Wing Hachiro Oigawa, as well as some of the heads of the Special High Division and the Mitsui Foundation were all controlled.

Feng Kun's Muto trading company was also seized by the Japanese army, but to the shock of the Japanese, the Nuoda trading company turned out to be insolvent. Originally, the North China Front also planned to use the funds of the Muto Trading Company to alleviate its financial difficulties, but this is a good thing, stealing chickens does not make rice, and a hot potato is pinched in the mountains.

Of course, compared to the Northeast, things in North China are relatively small. When the old and young people of the puppet Manchurian learned that Xiling was stolen, they ran to the puppet Manchurian palace in Changchun to cry together, just like their dead father.

"Ancestors, ministers are not filial, sin deserves death, sin deserves death!"

"Woo, I don't have the face to go to see my ancestors!"

"Ancestors, ancestors, the incompetence of your children and grandchildren has made you suffer!"

One by one, they banged their heads on the green bricks, although most of them followed the crowd, but there were really heads that bleed. But apart from kowtowing, they won't be around. To say that this thing was obviously done by the Japanese, and they have the ability to go to the Japanese, but they don't have the guts.

Although Pu Yi is the "emperor" of the puppet Manchurians, he is actually a puppet, what can he do? In addition to protesting at the Kwantung Army Headquarters, he could only take the clans to hug and cry together. After crying Yongzheng, crying Jiaqing; After crying Jiaqing, crying Daoguang; After crying Daoguang, crying Guangxu, woohoo mourning!

"Digging people's ancestral graves, this Japanese is really not a thing!"

"Well, who's to say it's not! It's all because Master Xuan led the wolf into the room, and he still wants to recover the Qing Dynasty, but I can't even keep the ancestral tomb. ”

"Hey, haven't you heard, the Japanese are running out of money. I heard that in the past few years of war, there has been a big deficit, so I went to dig the ancestral grave of the Qing Dynasty, but I didn't expect that Zheng Huzi was a step ahead, so I was stunned to serve a pot. ”

"Isn't it, I think this Japanese is still quite strong!"

"What's strong? It's just that we look glamorous here, and I heard that we can't even eat in other places! ”

"Really? I think the Japanese are going to be finished! ”

"Why not? Several big powers do it together, the Japanese, hum, grasshoppers after autumn. It won't be a few days! ”

"Shhhh

"What are you afraid of, a few two devils, who provoked Lao Tzu, and also went up the mountain to be a beard!"

……

"Captain, those people are spreading anti-Japanese remarks, do you want to arrest them?"

"Arrest your mother! Haven't you heard from anyone? The Japanese are almost finished, and Lao Tzu still cares about this! ”

As soon as the matter of digging up the grave was exposed, it was not only the Manchu clan and the old and the young. Other ordinary people in the Northeast are also cold. It was supposed to start in 1936. The living conditions in the Northeast have gradually improved, and the people's lives have greatly improved.

But these years. Especially from 42 years. The Japanese army used troops on all sides. The exploitation has become more and more brutal, and many people have even begun to go hungry. This made the local people's grievances boil and the contradictions intensified again. It turned out that the "law and order situation" had deteriorated again. Many peasants who could not survive fled into the mountains and became bandits.

At first, the Kwantung Army did not pay attention. In addition, their forces are mainly in the Soviet Far East, which is really impossible to draw. As a result, those bandits grew rapidly, from the beginning of the raiding and robbing of houses to blocking roads and setting up blocks, and even attacking Japanese outposts and warehouses, and even Shenyang and Changchun in the hinterland of the northeast became unsafe. Now, in addition to the major tomb robbery case, it is estimated that the situation will worsen.

"Yaga!" The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Mijiro, was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and he scolded the North China Front Army and King Morihito of Higashikurenomiya and others.

The main forces of the Kwantung Army were deployed on the Eastern Railway and the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the troops in the northeastern hinterland were almost completely exhausted, and except for a small number of gendarmes, almost all of them were maintained by the emergence of the puppet army and the puppet Manchu government. What if you dig up people's ancestral graves, what if you force them all back? Although the puppet Manchurians do not have the guts, they have to guard against it. Umezu Mijiro thought about it and decided to go to Changchun in person to appease Pu Yi and the others.

However, before he could set off on his journey, an even more shocking news came. An army of unknown origin attacked Petropavlovsk and Magadan, annihilating both brigades and allowing only a few to escape by boat. According to their reports, most of the soldiers in these units are of yellow race, but their uniforms are somewhat similar to those of the United States, and they are also equipped with American equipment. Before Umezu could recover his senses, Ozernowsky, the southernmost point of Kamchatka, was also lost.

"Eight Grids!" General Umezu Mijiro was furious again, and roared: "You rice buckets, incompetents, can anyone tell me what's going on?" ”

Since he is a rice bucket and an incompetent, of course he can't help him.

Umezu Mijiro was very worried about the approach of American troops from the direction of Kamchatka and decided to send troops to counterattack the area again. However, to get to Kamchatka, it was extremely difficult to travel by land, and it was necessary to cross the entire eastern Siberian mountains, wait until near the Arctic Ocean and then go south to Kamchatka, and the supply lines were surprisingly long. So the only way is to ask the navy for help and directly attack the major ports of Kamchatka.

The problem is that the Japanese army and navy cannot negotiate at all, and the navy's energy is used in the Pacific War, so it is not willing to send a fleet at all, even destroyers. Umezu Mijiro had no choice but to ask the military department for help, but this was another ridiculous matter, and he didn't have a month or two to talk about it.

In Yongqing, Hebei, when the enemy's North China Front Army and Kwantung Army were in turmoil because of the tomb robbery case, Zheng Weiguo had quietly moved his headquarters here. It's very close to Peking and Tianjin, and it's obvious that there is going to be a big move.

"Has there been any major movement of the enemy forces in North China in the near future?"

Chief of Staff Zhou replied: "Not yet!" However, the Kwantung Army seems to be massing in the direction of Temple Street and Vladivostok, but the information has yet to be confirmed. ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "How did you get the intelligence of the Kwantung Army?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said with a smile: "It was revealed by someone in the puppet Manchu regime, probably because of the dissatisfaction with Japan because of the tomb robbery incident." Boss, we're almost ready in the early stage, isn't it time for the main dish to play? ”

Zheng Weiguo also smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, immediately send a telegram to the Eastern Hebei Military Region, and let them advance in the direction of Liaoning with a powerful force to cover the movement of our large army." As he spoke, he waved his arms and slashed towards the northeast. (To be continued......)
