Chapter 63: Exodus of Japan (I)

“…… Woo-"

As dawn dawned, the long whistle sounded the prelude to the voyage, and the ocean liner Rukawa Maru, laden with more than 9,000 refugees, spewed billowing clouds of black smoke and slowly sailed out of Osaka Port along with countless cruise ships and cargo ships with similar appearances. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

——The familiar city is gradually moving away from the stern, and the world in front of you is becoming more and more open: the endless sea, the sparkling sea, the seagulls circling and flying on the mast, the bow of the ship breaking through the blue sea, and the snow-white waves bringing the salty and wet sea breeze, which makes people feel refreshed.

However, this was not a warm and pleasant journey to peace, and just looking at the steel battleships flying the flag of the rising sun in front of and around us, as well as the bomber and fighter groups flying overhead in formation from time to time, we knew that the journey ahead was only dangerous.

The final destination of this huge fleet is the distant South Pacific......

These war refugees, who were taken on cruise ships, became armed immigrants from the Japanese government to enrich the occupation zones of Nanyang and Australia.

In a sense, this is also a kind of tooth for tooth, eye for eye - if you smash my house, I will take your home!

Since the Anglo-Saxon nation has destroyed their homeland, then they will live in the house of the Anglo-Saxon nation with guns!

Standing in the wheelhouse of the cruise ship "Rukawa Maru", the former Nazi German ace U-boat commander Erich Murphy, who had just been released from the prisoner of war camp. Lieutenant Colonel Topp, somewhat carelessly, steered the steering wheel of the Rukawa Maru, and at the same time lamented in his heart that he had just survived an unusually brutal war, and had to plunge into another new war, and it was a war that did not belong to him...... It's a bit overwhelming.

But there is no way, it has reached this point, and it can only be hard-headed...... Speaking of which, why is there a war between humans and humans? From swords, guns, swords, halberds, to the roar of artillery, to giant ships and fighters, the times are like wheels, what are human beings fighting for?

Is it really like animals, fighting each other cruelly for the sake of survival and reproduction, in order to live better?

Looking out at the vast expanse of the sea, Captain Toph was a little absent-minded, feeling as if he had become a philosopher...... In any case, before the voyage, I finally sent a food parcel to my family, which contained not only my first month's salary, but also the candy ration I saved, as well as dried fish and canned beef from the ship's kitchen, which should make my family live a little more comfortable......

“…… The reason why the Combined Fleet wants to go to the South Seas to fight is so that the Yamato nation can live a good life and fight for the living space of the yellow race! ”

In one of the restaurants of the cruise ship Rukawa Maru, a one-armed retired sailor, dressed in a somewhat shabby navy uniform, was shouting to the crowd in front of a map of the Southwest Pacific hanging on the wall.

And the surviving Ms. Sunset Suzune, who happened to be the turn of the wind, held the child in both hands and sat opposite to listen attentively.

“…… In the past, the army used to have a saying that it was full of Mongolian lifelines, saying that if you lay down the branch, uh, no, now it's going to be called China, and everyone can live a good life. But in reality? In the past, the imperial army fought in China for so many years, and in addition to some income in Manchuria, even if other places were occupied, they continued to lose money! Why? Because the land of East Asia has long been overcrowded, overexploited, and resources have long been exhausted. In today's China, except for Manchukuo, which is still fertile and rich, most of the land is very barren, and the Chinese living there can't even feed themselves! The land looks huge, but in fact, most of it is a desert with no grass, only stones in the Gobi, suffocating mountains and plateaus...... Even if the land in Manchuria is not bad, the winters there are colder and more difficult than in Hokkaido. It's basically the army's horse manure wasting resources in order to brush up on military merits......"

“…… So...... "the old sailor raised his voice," ...... If Japan wants to get living space, the right way is to conquer the South Seas! ”

“…… Compared with the cold Manchuria and the barren China, the climate of the South Seas is warm and humid, with spring and summer all year round, and there will be no cold winters. The ocean is one of the best fishing grounds in the world, and you can catch a lot of fatty tuna by casting a few nets. The islands of the South Seas are full of fertile land, and the indigenous monkeys there do not need to work hard, just drop the seeds and the fruits and rice will grow on their own......

Even before the outbreak of the war, Japan's sugar supply had to be rationed, but Nanyang produced all the sugar that Japanese people could eat with their bellies open, as well as cocoa beans for making chocolate, and a variety of spices that smelled and tasted......

Further south, Australia and New Zealand not only have kangaroos, but are also full of fine cattle and sheep, and the white people who immigrated there can eat meat as food, and even pour endless milk into the river, but refuse to share it with us Japanese! Now these cattle and sheep belong to us! ”

Under the attention of everyone, the old sailor took out a copy of the latest propaganda album distributed by the wartime base camp, which was a very rare "color photo" in this era, showing everyone the richness of the South Seas and Australia - the first photo is a net full of fresh fish of all colors spread out on the deck of a fishing boat; The second photo shows a dark-skinned Filipino laborer smiling next to a huge sugar heap like a hill; The third photo shows a variety of seductive and exquisite candies and chocolates; The fourth photo is a tropical seaview resort consisting of coconut groves, sandy beaches, turquoise seas, sun umbrellas, cocktails, bikini beauties and beachfront cabins; The fifth photo shows a giant slaughterhouse operating on an assembly line, with beef cattle hanging from one end of the workshop to the other after slaughtering and waiting to be processed...... Finally, there is a photograph of workers in blue uniforms pouring buckets and barrels of milk into the river......

- Of course, in order to achieve the best deception effect, the content of this brochure is basically the best thing to do, such as the tropical seascape from the 21st century Maldives resort, the seductive exquisite candies and chocolates are the advertising images of a candy company in the 21st century, the photos of pouring milk into the river are actually screenshots of a movie reflecting the Great Depression years in the United States, and the rest of the photos are more or less "small problems" that do not match the age and location”…… However, no one here at the moment knows this.

On the contrary, each of them believed it and looked at it with two eyes. For a while, I was embarrassed by the hot bikini beach girls in the photo, and although I muttered "bad morals" in my mouth, my heart was like countless ants crawling. After a while, I was seduced by the candy and delicacies in the photo - in Japan before World War II, even sugar was not something that ordinary people could buy casually, and sweets were a rare luxury. And when they saw the photo of pouring buckets of milk into the river, this violent behavior made them even more excited for a while.

Then, the retired Navy soldier continued to talk about the lotus, saying that some of the good food and drink provided to the refugees these days were of course aided by the Soviet Union (in fact, there was basically none), but more of them were the materials that the Navy Combined Fleet had worked hard to get from the South Seas (a little but not much). However, there is never such a thing in this world that you don't get for nothing, if you want to live such a good life with abundant food and clothing every day for the rest of your life, and even let your children and grandchildren enjoy happiness from generation to generation, you should go to Nanyang and Australia to work hard...... That place is so rich, as long as everyone has courage and perseverance, they will not worry about not having a good life......

“…… In short, now Manchuria is doomed to be lost, North Korea and Taiwan cannot be saved, and it is already thankful that they can recover their homeland. But it doesn't matter, we still have the South Seas and Australia that the navy has brought down, and the territory there is much bigger and richer than Taiwan, North Korea and Manchuria combined, as long as we hold and develop it, everyone will have a bright future! Think about what you're eating these days, and you should be able to figure it out! Japan's future lies in Australia and the South Seas! ”

The old sailor waved his fist and said incitingly, "...... Immigrate to the southern hemisphere and celebrate the New Year every day! Open up the living space of our nation! ”

Under the mobilization of the previous speech, many refugees in the restaurant also became excited, and they all responded to the coaxing:

“…… Right! Immigrate to the southern hemisphere and celebrate the New Year every day! Great Japanese Navy onboard! ”

“…… Japan's future lies in Australia and the South Seas! Everyone must do a good job in the past! ”

“…… Open up the living space of our nation! The imperial kingdom has eight Hong and one Yu, and the martial arts are long! ”

……

Listening to these slogans and speeches that seemed to be "politically incorrect" from the mouths of the propagandists sent by the United Fleet, the political commissar of the "Rukawa Maru" couldn't help but feel a little panicked. But in fact, he was only highly educated enough, and was temporarily pulled in by the "academic faction" of the Japanese Communist Party, and he urgently joined the Japanese Communist Party for less than three months, and then he didn't care about how to learn theoretical knowledge, so he was sent to the cruise ship "Rukawa Maru" as a political commissar, and he was criticized many times because his knowledge of navigation technology was not up to par, so when he encountered such a situation, he didn't know what to do for a while.

In short, after a moment of hesitation, the unqualified rookie political commissar decided to sacrifice the almighty law of the bureaucracy - pretending not to know, and then changing the topic - only to see him step forward, squeeze away the one-eyed retired sailor, paste a picture of a kangaroo on the wall, and start a lecture on popular science knowledge in the southern hemisphere: "...... Many of you may know that this thing is Australia's most famous specialty, the kangaroo. But what most people probably don't know is. In addition to the kangaroo tail, the meat of other parts of the kangaroo is rich in a lot of urea, which is very, very smelly, and ordinary people can't eat it without special treatment. So when you get there, don't just hit kangaroos and eat ......."
