Chapter Seventy-Three: Prepare for War
Because the Universal Playground is located in the downtown area, there are high-rise buildings around it, so there is almost no wind inside. This enhances the effect of the smoke bomb and invisibly amplifies the chaos caused by the smoke bomb. When the smoke cleared, so did the crowd. The Chinese are not fools, and the Japanese will definitely retaliate after the death of Yanagi Gonsai, so they scatter and flee, which further aggravates the chaos of the scene. In addition, in order to promote the martial arts of the Great Japanese Empire, the head of the organizers, Kage Satsushiaki, invited consuls and diplomatic officials from various countries in Shanghai to participate, and the Japanese must ensure their safety for these guests, which invisibly restrained the Japanese troops. In the end, it led to Kagesa's careful planning, which only ended in catching dozens of small fish.
The smoke screen dissipated, and when Kagezo and the others crowded into the ring, Yanagi Gonsai had already lost his breath for a long time. He knelt in the middle of the ring, blood stained beneath him. In front of him, "Fox Thirteen kills here" A few big characters written in blood deeply stabbed Kagezo and the others, and Okada Katsu let out a sad roar: "'Great like a long light'!" "I fainted on the spot.
"Eight grids!" Shadow Zuo scolded indignantly, and there was no trace of blood on his face.
Yoshikawa and the others all looked panicked, and Ono roared at his subordinates: "We must find Fox Thirteen at all costs and recapture the 'Great Prajna Changguang'." This is an artifact of the Empire, and it can't be lost in the slightest, you know? ”
The small leader of the gendarmes stood solemnly, and he did not dare to come out of the atmosphere.
"Your Excellency Mogami has arrived!" One of the agents of the Mei Agency suddenly hurriedly threw himself into the ring and whispered to Shadow.
Kagesa was taken aback, and quickly asked people to help Yagyu Gonsai up, and then he said to Yoshikawa and Ono: "Minister Sakagaki's representative has arrived, what now?" ”
Seishiro Sakagaki is now Japan's Minister of War, and although Sakagaki did not achieve any impressive results during his stay in China, thanks to the political struggle at home, he surpassed some of his old superiors and succeeded in becoming Minister of War. It is precisely for this reason that Sakagaki, who was bent on making a breakthrough in the war against China during his tenure, began to frequently send representatives to China to guide the operation, hoping to build up his achievements.
Mogami Daihiro, as Sakagaki's personal representative, had gone to Nanjing with Sakagaki's secret instructions to negotiate some matters with Shunroku Hatata, but when he passed through Shanghai, he heard that the first person in the imperial kendo was holding a martial arts tournament in the playground of all nations, so he decided to come to watch the ceremony in person. So in the eyes of Kagezo and the others, the worst thing happened.
There are not many people in the Japanese army who are convinced of Sakagaki, and Kagesa is also one of them. However, because the identity gap is too big, it doesn't mean that they can ignore Sakagaki's existence. In fact, it is precisely because they are on the opposite side of Sakagaki that they have to avoid being caught by him, so they feel so frightened.
"Prepare with both hands! While asking Okada-kun to conceal it, he stepped up his search and tried to get the 'Great Prajna Nagako' back as soon as possible. In addition, all the existence of the Fox Thirteen and the Xuebing Army in Shanghai must be wiped out, otherwise, how can the empire have face? Now, those Westerners in Europe must be laughing at us behind our backs! Yoshikawa said.
Accompanied by more than a dozen entourage, Mogami Daihao rode to the Universal Playground, and gradually realized that something was wrong. Along the way, panicked Chinese and imperial gendarmes drove away at gunpoint led Mogami into believing that there had been a riot. As the first kendo person in Japan, Yagyu Gonsai has a large number of fans in China. Mogami was one of them, and he was convinced that Yanagi's sword path was unparalleled in the world, and he couldn't help but think: "Could it be that His Excellency Yanagi killed that person too badly and provoked their resistance?" Hehe, it's a pity that I came in a hurry and couldn't prepare a flower basket or something. ”
His secretary Shiraishi Tiao Xia smiled when he heard this, and echoed: "If Your Excellency congratulates you in person, sincerity is enough. You are now the representative of Minister Sakagaki, and it is a matter of pride for His Excellency Yagyu to receive the congratulations of the Minister of War, right?! ”
"yes, yes, how did I forget about this layer."
The convoy of the top group headed towards the Universal Playground, and when he was about to arrive, he suddenly heard a few Chinese cheering something, and he couldn't help but ask Baishi: "What are those people cheering for?" ”
Shiraishi could understand Chinese, and his face had changed. After a little deliberation, he decided to tell the truth and said, "The people of Shina said that His Excellency Yanagi was defeated, and even the famous sword 'Great Prajna Nagako' was won by the people of China. ”
"What?" Mogami Daihao's eyes widened.
Because of this experience, after Mogami saw Kagezo and his party, he asked without waiting for them to react: "Whose world is Shanghai now?" Didn't you say that you already took control of the Shina Gang of Shadows? For what? Why would this happen? Don't you know the significance of His Excellency Yanagi to the Empire? Also, the 'Great Prajna Changguang' was actually taken away by the Zhina people! This, this is simply a great shame! ”
As soon as Kagezo and the others heard this, Zhilu Dao Mogami had already understood the truth, and their faces suddenly became extremely difficult to look at.
Katsu Okada wanted to lie, but the lie was held in his throat and could not come out again. He looked at Shadow Zuo with a look of panic and helplessness. The others also looked at Shadow Zuo, and Shadow Zuo had no choice but to stand up and say, "Your Excellency, this is indeed an oversight of our work. The people of China are so cunning, they actually cheat in the competition, which leads to-"
"It's too late to say anything." 'It's a national treasure, and no matter what you do, I have to get it back. Also, since His Excellency Yanagi was framed to death by the Shina people, this revenge cannot be avenged. Hmph, I originally wanted to come to see His Excellency Yanagi's demeanor, but it was so sad to hear such bad news! I will go to Nanjing in a moment, and I will return to Shanghai in three days, when I hope to hear the news that will surprise His Excellency Yanagi! Ladies and gentlemen, the empire has asked you to come to China in the hope that you will contribute to the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, and if you only covet the glory and wealth of Shanghai and do not want to make progress, I am sorry, I will ask Your Excellency the Minister to appoint another candidate. Someone must be responsible for the murder of His Excellency Yanagi, so you can do it yourself! ”
Mogami threw down these cruel words and left with his entourage.
Watching his convoy drift away, Kagesa Zhenzhao and the others looked at each other, and suddenly, Ono yelled: "Kagesa-kun, prepare to start a war!" The only way to deal with these lowly people is violence. ”
As the head of the Black Dragon Society in Shanghai, although Yoshikawa does not belong to the military, because of the relationship between the Black Dragon Society and the military, it can actually affect his future. He then said, "I agree with Ono-kun's decision to start a war and completely wipe out the underground forces of the Shina people. Shadow Zuojun, let it go, our Black Dragon Society will fully support it. ”
Kagesa looked at him, then at the others, and with a sudden wave of his hand, he roared, "That's all. This time it's to fight all the resources, and I'm going to wipe out all the people in Shanghai! Fox Thirteen! I'm going to tear you to pieces! ”
