11. Tanaka reveals his true face Yoshiko was ordered to recreate the riot

Tanaka covered his chest and slapped Yoshiko in the mouth, and Yoshiko suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious. When the proprietress heard the news, she was dumbfounded when she saw this scene, and quickly took gauze to bandage Tanaka's chest, Tanaka covered the painful wound with her hand, stumbled back to the legation, and issued an announcement overnight, saying that the murderer who killed the Japanese monk was hiding in the Liangyou Textile Factory, and the Chinese patrol was ineffective, so she telegraphed to ask the Japanese military to intervene. However, the Japanese military decided that the matter was not big enough, and the special high school instructed Tanaka to quickly expand the situation.

The next day, Tanaka summoned Yoshiko to the hospital. Yoshiko has a lonely and arrogant personality, but she bows down to Tanaka. Tian Zhongcheng was convinced of Fangzi's ability, and she single-handedly transferred the last emperor Puyi and Empress Wanrong from the capital to Lushun, so that Manchukuo was successfully established. Tanaka knew that as long as Yoshiko was out, there was nothing that could not be done. However, when Yoshiko came to the hospital and Tanaka asked her to do something more to kill people and set fires, Yoshiko did not agree. She indifferently uncovered the gauze on Tanaka's chest, and when she saw that Tanaka's right chest was flat and missing a protrusion, she was a little proud, and said after a little apology: "How is the injury?" Does it hurt? Do you want to slap me again? Fangzi opened her mouth, pointed to the vacancy of her front teeth and said, "Shaozuo, you are too ruthless, you forgot that you are a soldier, and you should not treat a woman like this." Tanaka said, "I'm sorry, but you and I have losses." Calling you today shows that I have forgiven you and that I have something to say to you. As he spoke, he withdrew from the nurse and closed the curtain, but Fangzi spit out a ball of flesh and blood on him and said, "Who wants your forgiveness!" I can give you back what you lack, but you can't give you what I lack. I have given you my body and mind, but you have treated me as a tool, to be summoned when you need it, and to throw it away when you are finished. So, I want you to have no other woman, any woman who sees only one * head will know that you have failed a woman! "

Back then, when Yoshiko escaped from her adoptive father's clutches and was cornered, it was Tanaka who reached out to recruit her to his command, and it was Tanaka who discovered her talent and trained her to be an imperial agent who could proficiently use both Chinese and Japanese Chinese and knew simple English. Tanaka listened to Yoshiko's words, seemed to apologize, and said, "The reward is not for me, because of the secret operation of the military, I can't apply for expenses." Now for the cause of the empire, you and I must completely abandon personal grievances and dedicate ourselves to the empire. You are the best agent of the Empire, and you will not fail the cultivation of the Empire. Fangzi saw Tanaka's bloody wounds at this moment, and began to regret, and saw Tanaka take the initiative to summon him, half of the anger in his heart had disappeared, and said: "Now there are more than 100,000 Japanese overseas Chinese in Hongkou, many of which are my meticulous work, and it is difficult to recruit forty or fifty warriors to do something, but all this requires money. Tanaka took out a stack of yen and promised Yoshiko that after this deed, she would be appointed as the commander of the Manchurian and Mongolian Anguo Army. Yoshiko was overjoyed and rested in the hospital that night. Yoshiko is as strong as a man, but there are times when women are gentle, just in the hospital bed*, leaning over the bleeding wound in the field,* several times.

Late the next night, Yoshiko, who had great powers, gathered more than 50 Japanese youths to obtain gasoline and sulfur bombs from the Japanese textile factory and came to the gate of the Liangyou Textile Factory, poured gasoline on the factory, and threw sulfur bombs into it. In an instant, the Liangyou factory was on fire. The Japanese Marines took the opportunity to drive armored vehicles into the Ryoyu factory to help. The workers woke up from their deep sleep and rose to extinguish the fire, and the Yangshupu Fire Fighting Association received a fire alarm and urgently sent a fire truck to fight the fire, but was stopped by the Japanese army on Yangshupu Road and was not allowed to put out the fire. In this way, the fire became more and more vigorous, burning down six workshops and 24 machines of the Liangyou Factory, and the Liangyou Factory suddenly fell into closure.

At dawn, Yoshiko again organized more than 1,000 Japanese to march on the North Sichuan Road. They shouted "kill all the Chinese," smashed Chinese shops, tore up anti-Japanese slogans, blocked tram traffic, beat patrol officers on duty, and then went to the Marine Corps headquarters to petition the military to intervene. For a time, the Hongkou area fell into chaos. Seeing that the time was ripe, the Japanese military immediately dispatched warships loaded with Japanese troops to land at the mouth of the Yangtze River in Baoshan, shouted to catch the thieves, demanded that the murderers be severely punished, and that all anti-Japanese organizations be banned.

The Chinese government urgently summoned embassy personnel in the hope of resolving the diplomatic crisis through consultations with the Japanese. And the citizens of Shanghai are looking at Taopu Fanzhuang, far away from the city, and Fanzhuang is stationed in China's 19th Route Army.

When the army commander learned that the Japanese army had landed in Baoshan, he immediately convened an emergency meeting of the officers and all walks of life. I saw him clenching his fists and saying impassionedly: "Little Japan deliberately provokes everywhere, which is simply unbearable." Today, warships from the Japanese mainland landed at Baoshan, and everyone knew that little Japan vainly claimed that the war in Shanghai would end within four hours. In the face of this situation, the Council of Ministers is still advocating forbearance, avoiding war, and letting us withdraw our defenses. As a member of the national army, I really can't accept it. Therefore, I have now made up my mind to go to the fire for the honor of my fellow villagers in Shanghai and the country. As soon as the commander's words fell, all the officers and men were in high spirits and shouted in unison. This was an anti-Japanese contingent composed of more than 30,000 soldiers from the Guangdong and Fujian divisions, which traveled all the way from Fujian to Shanghai to set up defenses. The Central Military Commission has not paid their salaries for eight months, and in Shanghai, where the winter is cold, they can only wear summer uniforms. He didn't have a helmet, and he wore a hat brought from his hometown. After the meeting, the army commander immediately set up defenses and issued a secret order to his subordinate units to prepare for battle. Tanaka blindly made a big deal out of the situation and handed over an ultimatum to Shanghai Mayor Wu Tiecheng, putting forward such shameless demands as arresting and punishing the participants in the anti-Japanese incident, disbanding the anti-Japanese organizations in Shanghai, and withdrawing the Chinese troops, and gave a reply within 24 hours.

On this day, Zhao Da returned to the liquor store from Liangyou Factory and asked Xianghai to discuss what to do with Liangyou Factory if China and Japan went to war. Xianghai was taken aback when he saw Zhao Da go home, and said, "You haven't left yet?" Lao Du came to take care of him just now, and now he can't go to Liangyou Factory anymore, so I want you to avoid the limelight quickly. The situation is tense, and he wants to send Boss Chen out of the city. Zhao Da said: "What to avoid the limelight, the factory belongs to Boss Chen, I promised to help him take care of it, and besides, what the workers are doing is right, the Japanese are too deceitful!" As soon as the words fell, a group of policemen rushed in outside the door and asked, "Who is Zhao Da?" Zhao Da replied: "I am." What is your business trip? The policeman said, "I am ordered to arrest you for violating the ban and engaging in illegal anti-Japanese activities." "What is my crime in opposing the Japanese invaders on Chinese soil?" Zhao Dazheng asked the police awe-inspiringly. "You can be anti-Japanese, but don't annoy the Japanese, take away!" Two policemen rushed up and tied Zhao Dahua out of the door. Xianghai hurriedly grabbed the police and whispered: "The police brothers are good, they are all Chinese, why should they believe the rumors of the Japanese and be an accomplice of the Japanese?" Saying that, he stuffed a wad of money into the pocket of the policeman led by him, "Accommodating, if you go back, you will say that you haven't caught anyone, he shouldn't have come back, and if he doesn't come back, you won't be able to catch him." Xianghai seems to be complaining about Zhao Da, why is he coming back from the limelight so tightly.

The policeman got the advantage, his tone softened slightly, and said to Xianghai: "Brother, I don't want to arrest him either, but this matter is personally supervised by the mayor, and I want to give an answer to the Japanese." If I can't catch someone, I'll have to skin my body. As soon as Xianghai saw that the matter was irreparable, he said, "Let me go with you, and I will negotiate with your sheriff." "Okay!" The policeman waved his hand, "I won't tell you the truth, here's the thing, the Japanese protested against the anti-Japanese Liangyou factory, and told the city government to arrest people, otherwise they would use force." I think this is an excuse for the Japanese, even if they arrest someone, the Japanese will not give up, and when the time comes, the Japanese will make a move, and this brother will become an anti-Japanese hero. If the Japanese stop there, the mayor will just save face, and he will be released for a few days. Xianghai said: "Let's talk about it later, and see if it is possible to recover the matter." As he spoke, he accompanied Zhao Da to climb into the police car and go to the police station
