Chapter 533: Chain Reaction
"Japan's crimes in Nanjing exposed!"
"Hell on earth, miserable!"
"The evidence is ironclad, irrefutable, and the ghosts will not be dispersed!"
Almost all newspapers have published such articles.
Some newspapers even devoted full pages to the tragedy that took place in Nanjing.
And, even in this day and age, without computers and mobile phones, the news is spreading in the fastest way possible.
The telephone office and the telegraph office were full of people waiting, and they had to inform their own countries of the news as soon as possible.
Sad, shocking!
Even those who seemed insensitive in the past felt obligated to do something for the country.
The whole of Shanghai and the whole of China know about it.
The Nationalist Government declared that the flag would be lowered at half-mast to observe a moment of silence for the victims of Nanjing.
Chongqing, Wuhan, Guangzhou...... A huge parade was held.
Support the government to resist the war to the end, and demand that Japan pay for its blood debt.
A large number of young people walked out of the school gate, threw away paper and pencils, and joined the army in anger.
At night, braziers are placed at the door, and strings of paper money burn in them.
At that time, it was burned for the dead Nanjing compatriots.
In some Chinese positions, fierce counterattacks were launched locally.
Some troops even unfurled a white flag with two bloody characters written on it:
Nanking!
At that time, China and Japan were taking Xuzhou as the center, mobilizing troops and preparing for a big war.
Li Zongren, the commander-in-chief of our former enemy and commander of the Fifth Theater, did not say a word from beginning to end at the meeting of senior officers, and when the chief of staff had finished deploying the combat mission, Li Zongren got up and left only a few words:
"Everyone, don't forget the shame of Nanjing, don't forget the blood of Nanjing!"
Nanjing was newly defeated, the army was reorganized, and morale was not high. Now, however, the morale of the troops has been completely stimulated by the mobilization of political workers and commanders at all levels.
Under the encouragement of the slogan "Don't forget the shame of Nanjing, don't forget the blood of Nanjing", all the officers and men fought to the end and annihilated more than 500 enemies.
Nanking...... Nanking!
Embassies and consulates in China have expressed their concern over the Nanjing tragedy, and without receiving clear instructions from the government, they have expressed their condolences to the incident in their private names and suggested that the Japanese side give an explanation as soon as possible.
The Japanese government has fallen into a great deal of passivity.
Originally, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, a reception was held in Shanghai and Nanjing at the same time to prove how well the Japanese army behaved and how friendly it was to China.
But now it looks like the show is all about the clown acting there.
The Japanese ambassador and consul general in Shanghai made a pale, completely unconvincing defense, pointing out that these were lies made up by the Chinese.
However, the evidence is ironclad, no matter how they defend it, how should those films be explained?
Mo Yes, director of the Shanghai Public Concession Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, made an appointment to meet with Yoshimasa Okamoto, consul of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai.
Moyes unabashedly expressed his serious dissatisfaction: "Please tell Mr. Consul that as far as the duties of the Ministry of Industry are concerned, the Nanjing Massacre has nothing to do with us, nor is it within our jurisdiction, but I, as a normal and emotional human being, am extremely sad and seriously angry about the massacre in Nanjing!" β
"That's a lie from the Chinese." Hirosawa said weakly: "Fake, all fake. β
"Alright, Mr. Military AttachΓ©." Moyes interrupted him dismissively: "I'm not a judge, I don't have the authority to make a verdict." But I believe what I saw was that photographs can be faked, but films cannot be faked. From now on, I advise the Japanese to be as honest as possible in the public concession and not to go out without permission, otherwise it may cause terrible consequences. β
He still had something to say that he didn't tell Hirosawa Boman.
In the past, because he was threatened by Meng Shaoyuan, he had to take a protective attitude towards the activities of the military commanders in the Shanghai Public Concession.
But that's no longer the case.
His feelings have been completely tilted towards the Chinese side.
How could such an ugly scene happen in the history of mankind?
Moyes's warning was soon fulfilled.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, a murder occurred in the public concession.
A Japanese couple, ignoring the warning of the Japanese consulate in Shanghai, came to Jing'an Temple to play.
They communicated there in Japanese, and they were instantly hostile to all Chinese.
The vendors refused to sell them any goods and refused to provide any food.
The hungry couple, after their request to buy food was once again denied, the Japanese man loudly expressed his displeasure.
But this was quickly abused by the Chinese.
I don't know what this Japanese man said, he was attacked by the Chinese.
The Japanese man had practiced karate and injured a Chinese.
So, the scene instantly fryed.
A few young and strong young men surrounded the couple and beat them up.
When the crowd dispersed, everyone was surprised to find that the Japanese couple had been stabbed several times.
The Japanese man died on the spot, while the woman was seriously injured and died in the hospital.
This was called the "Jing'an Temple Bloody Case" by the Japanese side.
The Japanese side demanded that the Ministry of Industry immediately solve the case.
In fact, there was no need to solve the case at all, and in the afternoon of the same day, someone came to surrender himself.
This person used to be a cellmate of Meng Shaoyuan, the director of the Special Office of the Shanghai Hidden Area of the Military Command:
Knife beard!
After Meng Shaoyuan was released from prison that time, he asked Du Yuesheng to release the knife beard.
"Knifebeard, bear with it a little longer, and someone will soon let you out. But when I was going out, I remembered that I was still a chivalrous hero. β
Knifebeard never forgot what Meng Shaoyuan said to him that day.
"I use a boning knife." Knife Beard even brought all the murder weapons: "I stabbed the man four times, the woman three times, the hero is a good man, I killed the person, I also admit to cutting off my head, don't implicate others." β
Ross, the British inspector of Jing'an Temple, asked, "What is the purpose?" What is the purpose of your killing? β
"For him, for Nanjing. That Japanese openly insulted our people, the Nanjing bloody case, vividly, I was angry for a while, so I killed! Knifebeard said angrily.
"Nonsense." Rose suddenly said: "The wound on the deceased's body is similar to a military bayonet wound, how can it be a weapon like yours?" There must be something wrong with your brain, and you obviously didn't kill people, but you have to take them on yourself. β
Knife Beard was stunned.
People, they really killed themselves.
Seeing that he still had to argue, Rose said very impatiently: "I'm busy, I still have to solve the case, come on, then this madman will kick me out." β
What's even more excessive is that Ross not only drove away the knife-beard who surrendered, but also quickly cremated the bodies of the Japanese couple under the pretext of hygiene.
All the evidence is gone.
Therefore, the "Jing'an Temple Bloody Case" has become an unsolved case.
And for a long time in the future, in view of the influence of this bloody case, the Japanese expatriates really stayed obediently in the area of Towne Road and did not dare to come out again.
And Rite has also become a lot more low-key.
If it died inexplicably at the hands of the Chinese people, it would really be too cost-effective......
β¦β¦
"Clever." There was no expression on Hahara Koichi's face: "We finally know that what Meng Shaoyuan brought out from Nanjing was film. Everything he did before was to be able to play the film smoothly on this day. β
"Don't you think we're a bunch of fools?" Kojiro Kawamoto said with a wry smile: "We are like a group of puppets, manipulated and played with in our hands, and the audience laughed when they watched it, as if they were saying, look, look, those puppets look like clowns." β
"yes, a bunch of clowns." Habara Koichi said lightly: "Our teacher, Meng Shaoyuan, has taught us a good lesson again. You see, he went from Shanghai to Nanjing, got the film smoothly, and returned to Shanghai from Nanjing, dismembering the feast we had prepared, and this is not the most terrible consequence. β
Kojiro Kawamoto said, "Yes, now the anger of the people of Shina has been completely mobilized. The difficulties we face will increase dozens of times. β
"No, it's not just that." Koichi Habara said slowly: "Shanghai's intelligence agencies are about to usher in a big turmoil, and this incident highlights our incompetence. Someone has to be held accountable for this incident. I think the position of the head of the Manta office may change. Kawamoto-kun, it's time to think about ourselves. β
β¦β¦
"The people's determination to resist the war to the end has been completely aroused." Meng Shaoyuan didn't seem to be very happy: "But in everything, there is a good side and a bad side. When I was in Nanjing this time, I already noticed that the Japanese side was carrying out a rectification of the secret services, and the intensity of such rectification would certainly be intensified after the film incident. β
Wu Jingyi can fully understand: "Definitely, any accident needs a scapegoat, we are like this, and the Japanese are the same, but everyone is the same." β
That's right.
It's the same for whoever comes.
Meng Shao had calculated the time, and soon, Japan would do its utmost to increase the intensity of its spy activities against China.
With the establishment of the so-called "Dohihara Agency" and the Special Committee on China, the Japanese Ministry of Land, Navy, and Foreign Affairs will be fully integrated.
If we look at the responsible persons of the three agencies, we can see how painfully the Japanese side is determined to reverse the passivity of intelligence in China.
The War Department sent Kenji Dohihara, Lieutenant General!
The Admiralty sent it was Kaneda Shiba, Vice Admiral!
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is composed of lieutenant generals of the army, the second-generation spy giants of Japan's spy on China after Aoki Nobujun, known as the "tumbler of the rise and fall of the seven generations", and the third-generation Chinese Tomito Hihara Kenji, Itagaki Seishiro, Honjo Shigeru and others in the Japanese Army are all from his subordinates, and the famous Sakanishi Rihachiro personally serves as an adviser.
Three lieutenant generals, three giants, are not at all comparable to the so-called "Three Tigers of the Empire".
As far as Japan is concerned, they have formed a super luxurious lineup this time, which is to completely change the intelligence situation against China!
(Yesterday, for the sake of my son's study, I forgot about it, I'm sorry brothers.) Fulfill the promise today, three watches today, and three watches tomorrow. I hope the brothers are still satisfied! Also,, I set the wrong auto-release time, I'm a pig! οΌ
