Chapter 21, Hongkou in Change
At this time, the camera in Alice's hand standing aside kept flashing, Alice pressed the shutter vigorously while crying, she wanted to record this scene, and she also wanted to send these photos back to the United States, so that the politicians raised by prostitutes could see that they were hurting a brave soldier of the United States of America in such a way.
When Alice's story and photos were sent back to the United States, the Washington Post ran the news the next day with a front-page headline: A belated medal. In this report, Alice wrote: A warrior who fought for the banner of allegiance and died for his esteemed companion, a military uniform and a battle flag is the best consolation for the soul of the prodigal son of Annapolis, Major Magifin. Majifen is unlucky, but he is also lucky, unfortunately in Majifen's hometown, his people are still suffering from discrimination and unfair treatment by people and political axes, fortunately on the other side of the ocean, in another ancient country, there is a local political axe that has taken the lead in restoring his honor, and gave Major Majifen's family the title of honorary citizen of Shanghai. The mayor of Shanghai and General Tang Juwu claimed that they would welcome Major Majifen's people to settle in Shanghai at any time, and that they would welcome them with open arms as if they were their own relatives.
Alice's report caused a sensation in the United States as soon as it was released. They did not expect that an American [***] who died in a foreign country would be so respected in another country after being treated so unfairly in his own country. The whole United States is boiling, and the Hongkou District of Shanghai is also following Philo. Norton. The name Magiffin spread throughout the United States, and many Americans became curious about this magical place in the East.
This is what Jiang Qiang asked, that is, to promote Baoshan to the world, so as to give Japan a warning, there are many foreigners here to set up factories and live here, if you want to fight Baoshan is to be the enemy of the world, see if your little Japan can bear the result, Hongkou is not welcome you Japanese, what can you do, you go to fight the three eastern provinces, at this time Mayor Cao is the busiest one, because a large number of foreigners want to invest in Hongkou, at this time Germany also moved his mind, It is to move the tank and aircraft research institute to Shanghai, because it is the defeated country that will not give you the study of tanks and planes at all, Ace and Jiang Qiang said about this, Jiang Qiang said that I want to find our Nanyang group of talents, and we will give you a tank blueprint, you can give us an aircraft factory, and your country says that this tank is the most advanced tank in the world now, and you will cash it out, so that everyone will not suffer.
Ace said, you are a little fox, Jiang Qiang said that I am the smartest, okay, okay, just do it according to your requirements, Jiang Qiang said, I will go with them tomorrow to get the drawings, okay.
At this time, Nanjing has become a mess, because Lai San has announced the return of Hongkou to the government of the Republic of China, but you have arranged your own political officer, and you have ignored the Nanjing government at all, the chairman of the committee at this time is really angry, I am still not the chairman of the government of the Republic of China, you at least talk to me, at least you have to respect our chairman, and you have invested so much money in Hongkou, the national government is now poor and will have to urinate blood, and your investment is 7 billion US dollars, It's just that the entire government of the Republic of China doesn't have so much money, it's just a big deal, these people are still not simple, that Mr. Song said, let's go to a few people to see it, and that Mayor Cao We are also old acquaintances, go to understand it personally, don't make decisions blindly,
The most important thing is to take out one of the regiments they destroyed Japan, we didn't express our position, they have a very bad attitude towards us, and we can't beat them if we want to, their weapons are still too powerful, to be honest, the Sixth Division is the strongest force in Japan, since they are all destroyed, it's really against the sky, and that Tang Juwu is also a tiger general from the Northeast Army, they are now saying that everything is this Tang Juwu's idea, that is, Lai San also set up a set for Tang Juwu, so they have always been like this, Everything was arranged by this Tang Juwu, the first one was Lai San, then Heng San, Zhang Xiaolin and finally the Tiger Head Gang, and the gang were all set for Tang Juwu.
They shouted billions of dollars before and after, eh, Tang Juwu is the biggest bandit, damn that Zhang Dashuai is too, that Tang Juwu is to beat the Japanese, and finally the big marshal wants to give him to the Japanese, as a result, a battalion of soldiers came to Shanghai, and began their hegemony, that Tang Juwu is simply too talented, Mr. Song said, it's not that Tang Juwu is too powerful, but that they saved more than 100 people in Hongkou Prison is Tang Juwu's biggest barrier, More than 100 people were Chinese elites kidnapped by Japan from our country and foreign countries, and before they came, they were sent back to Japan in a hurry to give Tang Juwu and them to take them.
Finally, there is the overseas Chinese from Italy, who is a doctor, but his anti-inflammatory drugs can now earn tens of millions of dollars a year, and now he has also come together with Tang Juwu to work in Lihe Commercial Bank, a large number of Germany's most advanced equipment have been shipped to Shanghai, the German tank research institute, and the aircraft research institute have to move to Shanghai Hongkou, and the German government has also sent an aircraft factory to Tang Juwu.
Wherever Tang Juwu saved people, they have now become Tang Juwu's staff, they are directing behind the scenes, and last year they made more than 10 billion dollars by sniping American stocks in the United States. If you think about their current money, they can't run out of money, and they have begun to issue banknotes, this is the most terrible, the most important thing is that their gold reserves are nearly 500 tons, and then our fiat currency will completely lose its role in Shanghai, because we have no gold reserves, it is a bubble economy, and then we will be the most embarrassed, the government has lost credibility at this time, and it seems that Zhang Xueliang has to come over at this time, and they can be regarded as having a foothold in Shanghai.
Where is the prefect's money bag is gone, and we have to send people to communicate with them, don't arrange spies to assassinate or the like, success is good, if it fails, our Nanjing government will move, this is not a joke, Nanjing is too close to them to threaten us every minute, these people's calculations are simply too powerful, you see they have been promoting Lai San, and they also made up a song to praise Lai San as a big hero, those old guys are the most powerful, and they simply deceived Shanghai and us Japanese. People all over the world have been deceived by them, but fortunately, one of my relatives was also caught by the Japanese. He told me that I sent his family to Hongkou, and that my little Japan was lifting bricks and smashing their own feet, all of them were the most elite people in our country, and most of them were kidnapped from abroad.
The chairman said, then we will send you over to take a look, and don't reveal today's conversation, otherwise my friend will be unlucky, damn Tang Juwu deceived everyone in the world, haha, those weapons were also developed by those old guys, well, very powerful. One cannon fires twelve shells at a time, that is to say, one cannon is the firepower of a battalion, where are they now more than 200 such guns, the most important thing is that three people can pull the cannon away and leave, you think about how powerful their firepower is.
At this time, Matsui Ishine had returned to the imperial palace in Tokyo, Japan, and the Japanese prime minister had been replaced, Yuyuki Hamaguchi, a native of Kochi Prefecture, the 27th prime minister of Japan. Hamaguchi was born in 1870 in the village of Godaiyama, Okay-gun, Kochi Prefecture, where his family had been engaged in mountain forestry for generations, and his father, Yinpei, was appointed as a forest officer after the Meiji Restoration. His mother was very strict with Hamaguchi, demanding that he do the things around him by himself, inspiring him to "be a real man". After graduating from the prefectural high school, at the age of 21, he became the adopted son of the Hamaguchi family of Haonong in Anyun County, and his personality was taciturn and he rarely spoke in his adoptive father's house, so he was often misunderstood and did not leave a good impression on everyone. His own parents' house was about 50 kilometers away from his adoptive father's house, and he usually rode back and forth with his adoptive father's manservant, but Hamaguchi didn't say a word on the way. Someone asked him, "Why doesn't the young master like to talk?" Yuyuki Hamaguchi replied, "If necessary, I'll just say it." After graduating from the Third High School, he entered the Faculty of Law of Tokyo Imperial University, graduating from the university in 1895. He had excellent grades when he was a student, but he was more of a diligent student than a scholar. Among the students who graduated in the same year, there were Kishigero Bihara and Kiheiji Ono Tsuka (who later served as president of Tokyo University), and many of them passed the first higher civil service examination and entered the official world. Hamaguchi also entered the Ministry of Finance, where he became the head of the Accounting Division in 1897. But he had a conflict with his boss and is said to have made a move. There is a theory that one of the reasons for the conflict was that Hamaguchi thought that the minister's expenses in the budget were unreasonable and wanted to delete it, and his boss was very surprised and used his authority to force the relevant content. Hamaguchi is in good health and was good at sumo wrestling when he was a teenager.
Yuyuki Hamaguchi, leader of the opposition Democratic Party, was appointed prime minister on July 2, 1929. It was a time when a long-term economic recession was getting worse. Hamaguchi was the first prime minister from the Meiji period. The Hamaguchi Cabinet was established relatively smoothly, and his conscientious character gave the people a sense of trust, so the cabinet was well received. The most striking aspect of the current cabinet is the appointment of Junnosuke Inoue, the governor of the Bank of Japan and a trusted figure in the financial community, as Minister of Tibet. Hamaguchi himself was a well-known financial expert, and he appointed Inoue as Minister of Tibet in the hope of reviving the Japanese economy in order to achieve the expectations of the people. Hamaguchi resolutely carried out the policy of fiscal rectification and financial lifting (restoration of the gold standard) that he had promised, but the world-wide economic panic triggered by the collapse of the New York stock market on October 24 of the same year also swept Japan into the Great Depression, which developed into an unprecedented economic depression. The measures taken by Hamaguchi dealt a severe blow to Japan, which was in this situation, and the so-called "Showa panic" was formed.
Hamaguchi succeeded Yoshiichi Tanaka, who resigned after being reprimanded by the emperor for his improper handling of the Kwantung Army's bombing of Zhang Zuolin, as prime minister. Whether or not to disclose the truth of the incident became the first difficult problem faced by the Hamaguchi cabinet. After much deliberation, he made the political judgment that he could not reveal the truth to the public. The Army believes that it is not good for the country to publish the truth, so it strongly opposes the disclosure of the truth. The patriarch Saionji Gongwang demanded that the truth of the incident be made public and that the relevant responsibilities be clarified, holding that "if it is not done in vain, the Japanese Army will lose its credibility even more, hurt the dignity of the country, and damage the holy virtues." Previously, he had also asked Tanaka to disclose the truth of the incident. On this issue, the Hamaguchi Cabinet inherited the policy of the Tanaka Cabinet and kept silent about the opposition parties that demanded the truth to be made public, and this practice, as well as the ambiguous punishment within the military, left a bane for future developments. In 1930, during the turmoil of the London Disarmament Conference, the radicals within the Army established the secret organization "Sakurakai" with the goal of transforming the country through military coups. On November 14, Prime Minister Hamaguchi was attacked by a right-wing youth on the platform of Tokyo Station, but fortunately Hamaguchi was not stabbed to death. The Cabinet, which had lost its strong leadership, suddenly lost its cohesion and plunged the political situation into chaos. The assassination of Hamaguchi not only became the source of the collapse of the cabinet, but also a turning point in Japan's path to the destruction of the Pacific War.
Matsui Ishine showed the results of his investigation to the cabinet and the emperor, and there was also the fact that Lai San announced that the concession in Hongkou was no longer there, and Hamaguchi said that the problem now was not Hongkou's problem, but how their weapons were so powerful, that is, they didn't have chemical weapons at all, that is, the artillery was powerful and hit so far, and there was also the problem that the special high school class didn't get any news at all, didn't that Tufei Yuanxian 2 say that their special high school class was the most powerful department in Asia? This question has not been clarified, and how many people Lai San has now, and where their weapons factories are, this is the most important thing, we now do not have any force to retake Hongkou, the only hope is the League of Nations and the Nationalist Government.
