The man went into Osaka Park, found a bench where no one was there, sat down, and after seeing that there was no one on the left and right, he took out the note and looked at it. There were several lines of seemingly irregular numbers on the note, and the man looked at the first set of numbers, and then opened the box, which contained several books. He pulled out a copy of The Tale of Genji, took out a ballpoint pen, and then flipped through the book and began to look it up.

That's right, the number on that slip of paper is the easiest password, first set a book as a codebook, and then use three sets of numbers to represent the number of pages, the number of lines, and the number of words. Of course, this kind of password is only good for people who use Chinese characters, and if you use alphabet characters, the picture is too beautiful to look at......

However, the Japanese obviously do not have this problem, and there are a lot of Japanese kanji used in this era, especially some ancient books, which are almost full of Chinese characters, and Chinese can be understood without translation. And although this password is very primitive and simple, it works very well, because its key can find different books or even different versions of books, if you don't know which version of the book the key is, even if you find a book with the same name, you can't decipher it. For example, this man now has several books that are used as keys, and the first set of numbers on the slip of paper is the code of the key.

There was not much content on the note, and the man quickly translated the content, which was an address: "XX Town, XX Apartment, XX No. XX". After the man memorized the contents of the note, he burned the note with the code written on it.

He walked out of the park gate and quickly hailed a taxi. "Go to XX Apartment...... XX Town"

The automobile industry in this plane has developed more rapidly than that of the original space-time, and because Japan is very close to China, the largest automobile country, and its economic conditions are much better than that of the original space-time, the number of vehicles owned by Japan at this time is also far exceeded. Another dimension of Japan in the year 1922 there was only 1 car in the country. There are more than 20,000 cars, but the number of cars in Japan has reached 360,000.

Well, a considerable part of this amount is paid for by Britain and France for "military supplies", well, at least all of them are "military supplies" on the books, as for why there are Hongqi brand limousines inside, this is another matter. As long as the Japanese don't play too much, Britain and France will turn a blind eye. Many of them were imported directly from China, and the merchants, capitalists, and elites who made their fortunes during the First World War imported all kinds of cars from China to show off. Not only to show off, but also found that cars are indeed much more powerful than horse-drawn carriages, whether it is soliciting passengers or pulling goods, so there are also many people with vision and capital, and began to import Chinese buses and trucks to set up transportation companies.

Finally, there is another reason, and it is that Japan has its own automobile industry. Originally, the automobile industry was a relatively high-end product, and Japan's technical strength could not make qualified cars. However, the Japanese locust army ransacked the "Fiat" and "Maserati", two Italian automobile manufacturers, and they emptied almost the entire factory, and all the equipment, tools, drawings and other means of production were packaged and sent back to Japan, so that Japan's automobile industry, which was still blank, developed all at once. In addition, with the technology and equipment supported by Britain and France, Japanese industry developed during the First World War, and from the end of 1918, they started to produce their own automobiles, although the production was not very good, but at least there were.

In contrast to the scene of "Japanese cars everywhere on the streets" in China at a certain time in the original time and space, Chinese cars can be seen everywhere in Japan, and almost eighty percent of the traffic on the streets is Chinese cars.

"This Mitsubishi is so noisy...... the man muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Guest, this is a helpless thing, Mitsubishi cars are cheap, and our boss is reluctant to buy Chinese cars as taxis. Don't say that you passengers feel uncomfortable, we are even more uncomfortable driving......" The driver replied helplessly: "Our boss's own car is a Chinese car, but let us drive Mitsubishi, really." This car is noisy, the shock absorption is not good, and there are often problems, and I can't even walk after driving all day......"

That's right, this taxi is a Mitsubishi sedan produced in Japan, because it is cheaper than imported Chinese cars, and it is naturally the first choice for capitalists who reduce costs, and as for not being as comfortable as Chinese cars, it is better than walking. "I love to sit and sit, don't sit and roll, if you feel uncomfortable, you can buy your own car. That's what the capitalists think, at least for now.

"Oh, didn't you change shifts?" the man asked strangely, "I've been to China, and the taxi drivers there only drive for half a day, and there are at least three drivers in a car......"

"Hey, it's still a good life for Chinese drivers, not only the car is good, but the working hours are also short. We can't do it here, the boss wants us to work 24 hours a day, our company has 20 cars, only 22 drivers, if it is not a serious illness, it will not be the turn to change ......" the driver complained full of complaints.

"With such high-intensity labor, it's easy to get tired, isn't your boss afraid of accidents?" the man continued.

"So our boss prepared this for us to refresh our minds. The driver took out a medicine bottle and shook it.

When the man saw it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and a trace of irrepressible anger flashed in his eyes.

"This kind of thing has strong side effects, and it's very bad for people......" he said in a deep voice, "I advise you not to eat it, it is indeed very effective, but the price is to overdraw your life......"

"What's the solution? Without this, we can't drive for more than ten hours a day, and the salary of the driver's profession is not bad, if I change to other jobs, what will I do with my family......?

The man was silent, his fists clenched.

At this time, the driver suddenly stopped.

"I'm sorry, guest, the road is blocked by the one who bought rice in front......"

"Hmm......" the man nodded, he had seen the scene ahead.

A large number of people were surrounding a rice shop in front, and the crowd was blocking the road, and many cars were already blocked. There are some police officers who are maintaining order, but they are so powerless in front of the crowd that they can control the crowd well, and they are completely powerless to sort out the traffic.

"Is this a cheap rice shop in Osaka?" the man asked.

"Yes, that is, there are so many people in the cheap rice shop...... the driver nodded, and said with an apologetic face: "It's too late to detour now, so I can only wait......"

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, I'll get out of the car first and take a look......" The man opened the car door and walked out, looking at the crowd of people buying rice.

Although the "rice riots" failed, this mass movement of unprecedented scale also greatly shocked the Japanese ruling class. As a result, the cabinet of Terauchi Masashi collapsed and got out, and the newly appointed cabinet of Hara Kei was intimidated by the momentum of the mass movement, and had to make some concessions to the people at the bottom to restrain the prestige of the ruler. On the one hand, they increased grain imports, and on the other hand, they also ordered rice merchants to reduce the price of rice to 2 jiao per liter (2 jiao is 20 wen, and every 100 wen is one yen, which is roughly equivalent to one cent in China). During the "rice riots", many profiteers were killed and injured by the angry masses, and the rice merchants were also frightened.

Then, in the name of "dark cards", "cheap rice shops" were set up in several big cities in Tokyo and Osaka, and limited supplies were provided to the people at a price of 1 jiao and 2 cents per liter to buy the hearts of the people. Of course, this is just for show, these "cheap rice shops" only sell 5,000 litres of rice per day, and each person is limited to 5 litres, which means that only 1,000 people per day can buy it. Of course, such a small favor cannot really solve social problems, and there are 6.7 million people in Osaka, and cheap rice for 1,000 people is just a drop in the bucket.

Of course, the people at the bottom are crowded in front of the "cheap rice shop", and the rice sold by the "cheap rice shop" can't be good rice, and in the beginning, it was still more or less ordinary brown rice, but now, it has become a kind of coping matter. Nowadays, the rice in the "cheap rice shop" is all old rice that has passed its expiration date, or even spoiled old rice.

The man picked up a few grains of spilled rice from the ground, looked at them, and couldn't help but sneer: "No wonder Japan has imported so many aged grains from China in recent years, and it was originally used here." Is this the grace of His Majesty the Emperor? Is it really cheap......

However, for Japanese fart people, it is already good to have cheap aged grain to eat, and as for the problem of not being delicious, it is better than not having to eat it.

After all, there were only 1,000 servings, and about an hour later, the rice shop closed. Some of the old and frail women and children who couldn't squeeze in saw the closed rice shop and left in disappointment, and a few women and children who didn't give up even ran to the front of the rice shop to pick up the rice grains that fell on the ground.

The man's expression grew heavier and heavier when he saw all this, but the traffic was finally cleared.

………………………………………………………………

Twenty minutes later, the destination arrived.

The man paid and got out of the car and looked at the address marked on the note. It is a five-story condominium not far from the port of Osaka.

"Who are you looking for?" he had just reached the door when he was stopped by the doorman.

"I'm looking for Mr. Bailong ...... No. XX"

"You're in the wrong place, there's no Mr. White Dragon here. This is a private place belonging to the Japanese Society for Scientific Studies, so please do not enter the ......," said the doorman with an expressionless face.

"I have an appointment, my number is XXXX......" the man pulled a card out of his arms. The material of the card is very special, except for some patterns, there is nothing on it.

The doorman took out a pair of glasses with a pinched nose and looked at the card, which was now in his sight, with a lot more content, a bust and a number.

"Okay, you can go in......" The doorman opened the side door.

Soon, he came to the room on the note, knocked on the door, and said, "Mr. Bailong, my number is XXXX......"

Then the door opened, and a young man smiled at him: "Please come in ......"

"Please verify my identity first......" he consciously handed over the card.

The young man also took out a monocle and looked at it, then nodded, stretched out his hand to him and said, "Welcome, Comrade Ishihara, you call me Yanagi well......"

"Comrade Yanagi, where is Mr. Kita?" Ishihara asked after shaking hands with him. The room was small, and there was a door that was closed, and it was the only one who was Yagyu, apparently just a point of contact.

"Mr. North works in the broadcasting room, you wait a minute. Yanagi said with a smile.

"Is it a broadcast of the Voice of Young Japan?" Ishihara asked

"Yes......"

That's right, this is the [Youth Japan Association], that is, the headquarters of the Japanese Science and Technology Party, and of course, there is also a public vest that is the "Japanese Society for Scientific Studies". At this time, Japan was very sensitive to words like "socialism", and the banner of "scientific socialism" certainly could not be openly played.

Especially after the "rice riots", the fear of the magnates about the socialist ideology reached the point that all the grass and trees were soldiers. But anything with the word "social" on it is banned. Even a book written by a biologist, "The Society of Insects," was banned for using the word "society." There is also a true joke that a police officer in Nagano Prefecture one day saw a sign hanging in front of someone's house (the company is called a company in Japanese), and he pronounced the club upside down as "society", so he drew a knife and broke into the office, ready to take down the hateful socialists.

Yanagi turned on the radio, and a sweet and slightly immature female voice came from inside.

"Hello Japanese compatriots, this is "Young Voice of Japan", and I am the host Hatsune Miku......"

"Comrade Yanagi, may I ask if I can meet Miss Hatsune Miku this time? I like her singing "Senbon Sakura" very much, and there are other songs......" Ishihara said suddenly, his face flushed slightly.

"I don't know Miss Hatsune's whereabouts, but you know, and now the reactionary government is looking for her all over the country, so her whereabouts are highly confidential......"

Ishihara said seriously, "Many young officers and soldiers in the army are loyal listeners of Miss Hatsune, and if she can stand up, our career will ...... faster."

"Hahaha, don't talk about your army, Miss Hatsune's loyal audience has a larger number of officers and men in our navy......" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded. The closed door was pushed open, and a man about Ishihara's age walked inside. "Comrade Ishihara, you're late......"

"Comrade Kurita......" Ishihara was stunned for a moment, and recognized this guy, Naval Lieutenant Keno Kurita. However, he was also wearing civilian clothes at this time.

"Comrade Ishihara, how is the development of your side?" said Kurita Keno with a smug face. Ishihara turned his head and ignored him, the contradictions between the Japanese army and navy were not immune even in the Science and Technology Party.

"Comrade Kurita, please pay attention to the confidentiality system and do not inquire about each other's work ......," Yanagi next to him reminded.

"Oh, I'm sorry......" Kurita Keno quickly bowed and apologized.

At this time, the door opened, and a slightly tired Kita Yihui walked in.

"Mr. North!" everyone in the room hurriedly bowed to him.

"Ishihara, Kurita, you're all here......" Kita Yihui nodded to the two of them and said, "Come to my office......"
