"Look at the rank of lieutenant general," Lin shook his head slightly, he only knew that there would be a vice admiral attending the meeting today, but he didn't know who this army vice admiral was. As far as he knew, in 1938 the Japanese had an agreement with the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry that Japanese soldiers in military uniforms were not allowed to cross the Suzhou Creek and enter the public concession with weapons. In particular, no matter what the inside of today's meeting is, on the surface, it is still cultural exchanges, and such a suit with a knife is obviously intended to provoke the nerves of the Chinese on the isolated island, and is incompatible with the hypocritical pretense of "peace in East Asia" and "cultural exchange." So far, there should be no shortage of soldiers among the hundreds of Japanese in the entire venue, but he is the only one wearing a military uniform and carrying a knife.
Lin Xiuxuan watched this dog go all the way slowly, bowed to the military salute from time to time, greeted the Japanese guests over there, and stopped from time to time to whisper a few words when he met someone he knew, he put his hand in his pocket, turned on the monitor switch, and then turned sideways to that side, and caught the voices of two old men in a few moments, blocking out the excess noise.
"Suzuki さん,あのね,この半年の間,アメリカのルーズベルト大統領はしばしばわが国の頭の上で小uriするよ。 わが皇国すぐに反撃すべきでしょう? ”
The one who spoke in a whisper was the one Lin Huaisheng peeked at from behind just now, the principal of the Japanese Overseas Chinese Elementary School called Nitta Shiro, who seemed to be quite familiar with this lieutenant general named Suzuki; When the principal spoke, the kind-eyed Japanese old woman next to him tilted her head and smiled and nodded from time to time, and she didn't know that she thought they were doing ordinary greetings, but in fact, Nitta was asking the lieutenant general why Japan endured humiliation and did not fight back against the United States.
"なるほど そのとおりですね,海軍の弱虫はヤンキーと戦うことちょっと考えてすっかり慌てふためくよ。 (The cowards of the Navy do not dare to fight the United States at all)"
Lieutenant General Suzuki replied in an arrogant tone, apparently his arrogance along the way was not fake, and he did not care at all about going to war with the United States. Lin Xiuxuan has a good foundation in all foreign languages, and now he has finally found the most suitable battlefield for himself.
"So what's the other itinerary after the meeting?"
"I was going to participate in the deployment of the Changsha Expedition, but I was delayed by such a boring meeting, and I have to go back to Japan the day after tomorrow, and I have to prepare to have a good debate with those cowards at the base camp liaison meeting."
"The major national affairs are gone, and I really don't want China's war to drag on." Nitta continued.
"It is not a problem to capture Changsha, but it is still very difficult to continue to attack Chongqing. The law and order war in North China is also a headache. If General Tojo forms a cabinet, we can first defeat the United States, which is supporting Chongqing in the back, and I think it won't be long before Chiang Kai-shek demands peace. ”
"All of us people sincerely hope that you soldiers will work hard to establish an East Asian order that we Japanese people will work on."
"Ah, that's for sure."
The murderous aura between the words of these two thin and withered old Japanese men, Lin Xiuxuan, who was eavesdropping 20 meters away, could feel it, and thought to himself, these guys are trapped in China and can't extricate themselves, how can they be so confident to go to the Pacific Ocean to make enemies? It's really hard to guess what the Japanese are thinking.
Lieutenant General Suzuki walked all the way to the VIP seat, his adjutant followed behind in civilian clothes, and kept scanning the Chinese guests with a vigilant eye, perhaps he had also heard of the recent sharp increase in assassinations by military commanders in the concession, but his master had to die and came in in a conspicuous military uniform.
"This guy should be Sadaichiro Suzuki, a Class A war criminal?" Lin thought to himself, after this old dog walked away, he couldn't eavesdrop on his words, and obviously the working distance of this small monitor was about 20 meters.
After a while, the venue was roughly full, and the master of ceremonies who presided over the meeting stepped onto the stage and began to make opening remarks in both Chinese and Japanese. Ma Qiang sat there with his hands crossed, checking the entrances and exits on all sides from time to time, he had already conceived several attack routes, according to which he could hold a machine gun, shoot from one end to the other, kill all the devils and traitors sitting in front, and then calmly retreat; finally came to this era, but the team leader didn't let him let go of his big work, he was really aggrieved, and he basically turned a deaf ear to the nonsense on stage.
The host then began to introduce the main guests, of course, according to their rules here, they also introduced the Japanese first, and then the Chinese.
"We are honored to introduce Vice Admiral Taiji Ota, Vice President of the Koya Association, who is here today."
A Japanese man with a beard and civilian clothes stood up, turned with a smile and bowed to the guests in all directions, and said nothing, apparently the vice admiral did not have the same high profile as Sajiichiro Suzuki.
The applause below, Lin Xiuxuan stabbed Ma Qiang with his elbow and asked him to pretend to shoot a few times, but Ma Qiang still held his hands and did not move; However, Lin Xiuxuan noticed that Sajiichiro Suzuki on Ota's side did not clap his hands, and the little old man was also holding his hands and sitting there unmoved. Probably because of his sudden visit, Liu Yusheng was negligent again when arranging his seat, and Suzuki Sadachiro, as a cabinet minister, although his military rank was about the same as Ota's, his status was far higher than Ota's, and it was obviously unacceptable to rank him second.
Will Liu Yusheng, this dick, be slapped with a big mouth later? Lin Xiuxuan thought to herself.
"The next distinguished guest, the Empire of Japan, the President of the Cabinet Planning Institute, Lieutenant General Sadaichiro Suzuki."
Hear yourself called by your name. The short Suzuki stood up suddenly, and when he turned around, he could see that he had a bulging stinky face, holding a combat knife tightly in his hand, and all the Chinese present except Lin Xiuxuan and Ma Qiang gasped. Lieutenant General Suzuki swept his eyes over all the Chinese, and then began to speak, and the Chinese spoke unexpectedly well.
"On the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the Great Holy War, I hope that all the monarchs present here will also make efforts for the great cause of the common prosperity of Greater East Asia for His Majesty the Emperor;" The venue was silent, and Suzuki's words changed, "We Japanese have always believed only in action, and I hope that you Chinese will not just talk about it, and those who neglect the great cause of jihad will definitely be pursued against the Japanese Empire!" With that, he sat down.
This old devil is extremely arrogant, and directly threw away the mask of "co-prosperity and coexistence, Japan and China are equal", and everyone can understand the meaning of his words: the so-called co-prosperity circle is actually the emperor's, it is Japanese, and the so-called "coexistence" is rewarded by the Japanese; And he also spoke contemptuously and was very rude. Of course, most of the Chinese present were gasping and pretending to be confused, and the applause given to Suzuki was not less at all, and the Japanese side was already noisy, and the piercing cries of "Long live the emperor" and "Long live the base camp" came and went. It can be seen that these Japanese expatriates living in Chinese are always thinking about being anti-guest and claiming hegemony on the Chinese ground.
Lin Xiuxuan peeked at Liu Yusheng who was sitting in front, only to see him push his glasses very unnaturally, it can be seen from his article that this person is certainly shameless, and he admires the Japanese for his five-body throw, but the harmonious coexistence of East Asia he wants should be different from what Lieutenant General Suzuki wants, Suzuki's words may make his self-esteem revive a little.
After the noise was quieter, the host continued:
"Mr. Qingqi Qingyin, National Policy Adviser of the National Government of Nanjing."
An old man with a kind smile stood up, took off his top hat and nodded to everyone, then sat down.
Lin Xiuxuan straightened his tie, and the small camera on the tie clip took pictures of this person's appearance. This is an enemy that must be dealt with carefully, although it seems far less vicious than Suzuki, but, in historical records, this guy has been disguised as a civilian person, but in fact he is the real behind-the-scenes boss of No. 76, the boss of the Mei Agency, with the rank of major general, I am afraid that there will be dealings to fight in the future.
Along with the powder of these characters, they are followed by a number of insignificant folk figures, including wild ball players and sumo wrestlers, famous dramatists, well-known writers and travelers, and so on.
After introducing Japan's annexation, he began to introduce the officials and social elites on the Chinese side.
Zhou Zuoren, president of the East Asian Cultural Association, never showed up, so he became the president of the Shanghai Charity United Relief Association, Wen Lanting, at the top of the line. After the master of ceremonies finished the introduction, he was also asked to say a few words.
Wearing a horse coat and pinning the second-class Tongguang Medal issued by the Wang puppet government, President Wen slowly got up, under the dazzling magnesium light, was a lonely old face, he probably didn't expect the president to be temporarily absent, and finally it was his turn to show up and make a speech, this is obviously not an occasion that will last for centuries.
