Chapter 258: Denghu Research Institute

In March 1939, the Qingbai Party mobilized four group armies, with a total of 200,000 people, to start the Battle of Nanchang, fighting bravely with 120,000 Japanese troops, and finally the Japanese army used poison gas bombs again, with more than 50,000 casualties among Chinese soldiers and 24,000 losses for the Japanese army.

Gu Ruhu participated in this battle, and it was he who rushed forward desperately and killed hundreds of Japanese soldiers who used poison gas bombs, otherwise the number of casualties of the national army would be even greater.

Although the Battle of Nanchang ended in failure, it made the whole world, especially the Japanese authorities, realize that although the Japanese army occupied the three towns of Wuhan, it had failed to force the Nationalist Government to submit, nor had it been able to annihilate the main force of the Chinese army, still less had it destroyed the will of the vast number of Chinese soldiers and civilians to resist the war. The Chinese army not only continued the war of resistance, but also began to carry out a campaign-wide counteroffensive.

After the war, Gu Ruhu received another Baoding Medal and was promoted to lieutenant general, but the army he led was still a division, which was expanded on the basis of the independent brigade led by his father. And his father Gu Han was inconvenient to walk because he injured his thigh, so he simply put down his sword and returned to the field.

On March 15, Qin Di and Yan Xue passed by Huangpi Road and saw a church with the words "Seymour Hall" on it, so he stopped. Then he walked into Seymour's synagogue.

Yan Xue was curious, she didn't know what he was doing when he entered the church, could it be that there was a secret to cultivating the truth hidden in it?

Because it wasn't a Sunday, there were very few of you in the church, just an elderly "rabbi" with a white beard and white hair, two women, and a dozen or so children. The elderly rabbi is giving lessons to the little ones.

Seeing someone come in, the old rabbi came slowly and said, "Honored guest, have you come to the house of the Lord for anything?"

Qin Di said, "Can I come here to donate?"

The rabbi was quite surprised, and thought to himself: "This is very strange, how can he come here to donate money as an Oriental?"

"Thank you, distinguished guest, for your generosity, what do you call it?"

"My surname is Qin, and I heard that in recent years, many Jews have come here from all over the ocean, and when they first came, they had nothing, and their lives were very difficult, and I wanted to donate $100,000 to the church to help these people. ”

The rabbi was taken aback and said, "A hundred thousand dollars? That's not a small amount, he's joking, right?"

Qin Di immediately took out the checkbook, wrote $100,000 out, and said: "I only have one request, please remember the city of Modu, someone once gave you warmth, and wait until a few years later, don't forget to give back to China." ”

The rabbi took the check, his left hand trembling slightly, and his right hand drew a cross: "Jehovah will bless your ......"

Qin Di didn't say much, turned around and left.

The rabbi sent him out, turned to a woman, and said, "Mary, draw the benefactor's head!"

The woman had some difficulty, but still reluctantly drew an oil painting from memory, and said, "Rabbi, the benefactor's stay is too short, and I only paint three or four points of resemblance!"

The rabbi praised, "Son, you have drawn it very well! Hang it on the wall, and everyone who comes to the synagogue will remember his face!" Then he looked at the signature of the check and wrote "Qin Di" in Hebrew on the painting.

In those years, as many as 16,000 Jews fled to the city, and the synagogue could accommodate 3,000 people. The Jews took turns praying, so many remembered the faces on the portraits.

It wasn't until a few years later that an old lady in her eighties wrote in her memoirs: "That day the door opened, and a very handsome young man entered, his eyes so bright, his body shining with angelic light, and behind him a beautiful girl...... He handed the rabbi a check, and for the next year we had a fragrant toast......"

Until a few years later, there were still Israelis who secretly leaked military technology, saying that they remembered their father's advice and the warm spring in the magic capital......

100,000 US dollars is just a drizzle for Qin Di, when he was short on Wall Street, he hated a knife, I don't know how many Jewish capitalists jumped off the building, and now he shows a little sincerity, which can be regarded as some cause and effect.

At the end of March, the third uncle Qin Hanxu returned from Japan. This time he came back alone, and neither Keiko nor Qin Xi followed.

When Qin Hanxu saw Qin Di, his expression was very cold, and he was silent for a long time and said: "I found a place that should be a key department of the Japanese army, but I lack manpower and can't do anything about it. Think about it like a thorn in my heart. ”

Qin Di said: "Third uncle, you speak slowly, don't summon! You are going to inquire about the news, not for you to do it!"

Qin Hanxu said: "In Kawasaki City, Japan, there is a Noborito Research Institute, which is not only engaged in the research of biological and chemical weapons, but also a place for counterfeiting Chinese currency, which is very large, covering an area of 380,000 square meters and more than 1,000 ......."

Qin Di understood as soon as he heard that the Noborito Research Institute was the place where Japan developed bacteriological warfare, similar to Unit 731 in the Northeast, and it also had the function of printing counterfeit banknotes.

According to later records, most of the 10 technical research institutes under the Japanese Army's Ordnance Administration Headquarters were engaged in research on conventional weapons, logistics, communications, and engineering, while the secret weapons studied by the Noborito Research Institute were "uninvisible" and had a relatively high level of secrecy. Even within the Japanese army, the name of the "Ninth Army Technical Research Institute" was not disclosed, and only the common name "Noborito Research Institute" was used.

The Noborito Research Institute was awarded the "Army Technical Merit Award" by the government of Hideki Tojo for its "research results" such as the development of highly toxic drugs based on cyanic acid, and human experiments on these poisons were carried out in Nanjing, China, by the Japanese Army's Unit 1644, with the assistance of the notorious Unit 731.

In order to combat the agricultural production of the enemy country, the Noborito Research Institute also developed defoliants for various grains, including Sclerotinia sclerotinia and Diomorph borer, which were actually used in Taoyuan County, Changde City, Hunan Province in 1941, causing a huge blow to local agricultural production.

In addition, the Noborito Institute received orders from the highest authorities to disrupt China's financial markets and achieve the goal of destroying China's ability to resist the war. By the end of the war, a total of about 4 billion yuan of counterfeit money had been produced.

In order to keep it secret, the Noborito Research Institute was closely guarded by the Japanese military police at that time, and no ordinary people were allowed to approach. Personnel in the institute are also required not to disclose their work to anyone. When Japan was defeated, the Noborito Research Institute was secretly disbanded, many of the equipment was destroyed or buried, and researchers were asked not to disclose any information to the outside world.

When the U.S. military occupied Japan after the war, it obtained research materials from people engaged in secret weapons research on the condition that they would not be prosecuted as war criminals. Many of the people involved in poison research at the Noborito Research Institute later served in the U.S. military. For the sake of its own interests, the United States has not made public relevant information since the end of the war.
