Twenty-four hours after the Great Kanto Earthquake, another powerful earthquake struck, followed by hundreds of aftershocks in the following week.

Qin Beiyang, Haneda Taiki and Hikari stood on the ruins, guarding the news that kept coming from the radio - Gu Weijun, who has been promoted to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, said: "Our country's duty to provide disaster relief and compassion to our neighbors cannot stand idly by, and the government should order and persuade the people to jointly raise funds for relief." "The Beiyang government, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, gave Japan 200,000 silver dollars. The first foreign rescue ship to arrive in Japan came from China, and the first person to donate to Japan was Mei Lanfang, who held a charity performance to raise funds. The Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce sent 10,000 bales of flour and 3,000 bales of rice, which was the first international aid received by Japan. The Red Cross Society of China was the first international medical rescue team to reach the disaster area in Japan......

Haneda Taiki kept listening to the news on the radio, and knelt in front of Qin Beiyang with moist eyes: "I have never seen a country like China that repays grievances with virtue!" ”

It was only three days after the earthquake that the raging fires in Tokyo were extinguished. Victims rushed back to their collapsed homes to search for survivors and belongings. Qin Beiyang was just about to return Sagaguang to the Marquis's Palace, but found that smoke was rising again in the southwest corner of Tokyo.

The Nine Colors took the lead, and they followed the smoke and dust. In a large deserted neighborhood, Qin Beiyang found a large number of fresh corpses, men and women, who had not died in the earthquake, but had been shot by guns, stabbed to death with bayonets, and even had their heads and limbs cut off by swords.

"North Koreans!"

Taiki Haneda was able to distinguish between Koreans and Japanese, a colony of the Japanese Empire, and there were many Korean immigrants in Tokyo who were engaged in manual labor in harsh environments.

The day after the Great Kanto Earthquake, there were rumors that North Koreans were taking advantage of the chaos to set fires and poisoning wells, and even that North Koreans were going to riot in Tokyo. As a result, the Japanese army and people began to massacre Koreans. In the chaotic situation after the earthquake, order and the rule of law have been completely lost, and killing people is as easy as killing chickens. Not only Koreans, but also many Japanese anarchists were also massacred by the military department.

Suddenly, the Japanese army with loaded guns appeared in front of him, and Qin Beiyang hurriedly took everyone to hide in the ruins.

The soldiers, whose bayonets were dripping with blood, drove away many ragged workers, and the long queues numbered probably thousands. Judging from the appearance and clothing of these people, it seems that they are all Chinese! At that time, there were thousands of Chinese laborers in Japan, mostly from rural Wenzhou, who spoke Wenzhou dialect to each other that was difficult for Qin Beiyang to understand.

The Japanese soldiers made the Chinese workers stand in the rubble and suddenly shouted: "The earthquake is coming!" ”

In the instinct of survival, the workers lay on the ground one after another, and the soldiers picked up their Type 38 rifles and opened fire.

Qin Beiyang was terrified, even if he saw thousands of deaths these days, because this was the naked Tokyo Massacre!

The first round of bullets entered the back of the Chinese, and the officers ordered to stop firing to save ammunition, and they all loaded bayonets to solve the problem. The Chinese workers rose up in desperation, but how could they outwit the well-trained soldiers with their bare hands? It's like the bayonet training of the army, they use the living as stakes to stab, and in an instant the blood flows all over the field......

It was getting dark.

Without the master's orders, Nine Colors automatically transformed into a young Qilin Town Tomb Beast, growing snow-white antlers, draped in bronze scale armor, and continuously sprayed glass fireballs, burning the Japanese soldiers to ashes one by one. Qin Beiyang then took cover of the night and shot steel arrows with a crossbow, killing many low-ranking officers one after another.

This Japanese army numbered only a little more than a hundred people, and half of them were wiped out in just a few minutes. The surviving Chinese workers scattered, and at least five or six hundred survived, leaving hundreds of bloody corpses in the rubble.

The Japanese soldiers were still shooting these fleeing people, and Qin Beiyang jumped out and shouted: "Stop! ”

He recognized the Japanese officer, the man with a resolute and mighty face, Qin Tian Saburo, who was now a military junior in the army, holding a blood-dripping saber, followed by the nearby fire, looking directly into Qin Beiyang's eyes, and Haneda Taiki behind him.

“HATA……”

Qin Tian speaks a Japanese pronunciation, which is both "Haneda" and "Qin".

Three years ago, in the Russian Far East, Qin Tian Saburo, as a representative of the Japanese Siberian Dispatch Army, had dealt with Qin Beiyang, a translator of the Red Army, so he remembered this face.

"Imperial Japan, Army Major, Saburo Hata...... We've met, Mr. Qin, Mr. Haneda! ”

"Oh?" Haneda Taiki's ability to pretend to be stupid is first-class, "You are Qin Tian Shaozuo?" Oops, I remembered! We are all descendants of the Qin family. ”

"Princess of Light!"

Saburo Qinda recognized Hikaru Saga, who had protected the Marquis's jewel in Versailles at the Paris Peace Conference four years earlier.

"Mr. Qin Tian, what are you doing? Instead of helping the victims, they slaughtered North Koreans and Chinese? ”

"This is an order from my superiors, I am a soldier, and it is my duty to obey orders."

Saga-light put on the momentum of a marquisal princess and pointed at Qin Tian Saburo's nose: "Then I order you to retreat immediately!" No more indiscriminate killing! ”

In the face of the sixteen-year-old Hikari, Qin Beiyang, Haneda Taiki, and the young Kirin Town Tomb Beast that killed dozens of Japanese soldiers, the muscles on Qin Tian Saburo's face twitched - wasn't the Nine Colors the "soul machine" he dreamed of in the Yoshino Kofun experiment four years ago?

Although, Qin Tian can order the army to merge with Qin Beiyang and the Nine Colors of Fire, and the big deal will be the same.

But he would never dare to shoot at Hikaru Saga.

Throwing a rat bogey, Qin Tian Saburo bowed deeply to Princess Guang and ordered the whole army to retreat.

"Poor Kou Mo Chase!"

Qin Beiyang stopped Jiuse's desire to continue killing. He rushed to the pile of corpses in the rubble and looked at the Chinese workers who had died in their homeland, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten. There are so many corpses that they can't afford to bury them at all, but they can't set fire to them, which is tantamount to destroying them. They had to leave the area, which was full of slaughtered Koreans, occasionally mixed with Chinese.

Saga-Hikari said that he would tell his father about this atrocity, and let the Prince Regent of Hirohito severely punish the military department, and be sure to send the murderers such as Saburo Qin Tian to a military court, or even sentence him to death!

"No, after killing so many people, the elders around the crown prince regent will not know? If it is to be investigated, is the crown prince not responsible? The results speak for themselves – no more! ”

"If the Tokyo Massacre is not dealt with and punished today, these brutal armies will enter Chinese soil in the future, and there will inevitably be a massacre in Beijing or Nanjing......"

Fourteen years earlier, Qin Beiyang became a prophecy!

Seven days after the earthquake, they returned to Nihonbashi in central Tokyo. Order is gradually being restored, and an organized rescue team is finally being seen, digging into the terrible ruins. In the autumn of September, the buried corpses quickly decomposed, and a pungent stench emanated everywhere. And the underground where the most corpses are buried is the former murderous mansion, the Great Temple of the Far East of the Craftsman Alliance.

Qin Beiyang met the gatekeeper Schmidt.

The German craftsman, with a cane and a plaster cast on his right leg, limped towards him, forcing himself into the corner of the ruined wall.

Schmidt asked in a low voice in German: "Why are you still in Tokyo?" ”
