Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 651 The show that gathers energy

The special program that Sanken Hashiguchi mentioned was really special, even very exciting.

The Tianjin Office of the 41st Division was located on Qiushan Street in the southeast of the Japanese Concession, adjacent to the French Concession on the south side. That night, under the leadership of Sanjian Qiaoguchi, they came all the way to the feasting Songdao Street.

Unlike Miyajima Street in the administrative center and Asahi Street in the financial center, Matsushima Street is obviously full of colorful entertainment atmosphere.

There is a small three-story building at the corner of the street. The sign on it is Furong Hotel, welcoming and sending Japanese military officers or middle-level and high-level personnel from institutions such as the Manchuria Railway.

Dong Jiang is a young man in this regard, and thought it was just a place for drinking, but Zhou Weiguo could see the clues at a glance.

Considering that the kindness of Qiaokou Sanjian is hard to be rejected, Zhou Weiguo immediately agreed. After the three entered, Qiaokou Sanjian showed a certificate at the welcome desk.

"Mr. Hashiguchi, all guests, please!" The waiter in charge of hospitality warmly greeted the three of them upstairs, obviously Sanjian Qiaoguchi was also a frequent visitor here.

While going upstairs, Dong Jiang asked softly: "What kind of place is this? I don't think these people are low-level!"

"Hmph, the sign hanging outside is Furong Hotel, which is actually a military club specially prepared for middle and high-level personnel of various Japanese institutions!" Zhou Weiguo said.

"Comfort station?"

"almost!"

What Zhou Weiguo said was right. The Furong Hotel was known as the No. [-] luxury hotel in North China. Its facilities, services, and prices were comparable to the highest-end Astor Hotel at that time.

There are two military clubs in Jinmen City, one is the Furong Hotel, and the other is the Tokipan Hotel. These two places are military clubs in name, but they actually serve as comfort stations.

However, ordinary Japanese soldiers and agency staff are not eligible to enter. Within the Japanese army, only officers above the major are eligible.

On the outskirts of Jinmen, there are special comfort stations near the barracks and stations where the Japanese troops of the 21st Division are stationed outside. The interior is full of women conscripted from China, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan. .

In a compartment on the second floor of the Furong Hotel, a geisha played music, and two other outstanding Japanese geisha danced gracefully. Compared with Sanjian Hashiguchi, who was full of enthusiasm, Zhou Weiguo and Dong Jiang were clearly unable to mention it. Interested.

From Dong Jiang's point of view, the white makeup on the geisha's face seemed almost unattractive, and the sake in the wine cup was even weaker, not even as good as the army's Doyaki.

In Hashiguchi Sanken's view, the two may not be interested in the performance in front of them, and are planning to carry out the next meat scene.

The three of them talked in Japanese, and did not mention any sensitive matters. Sanken Hashiguchi slapped his hands, and the three geisha knelt and sat on one side.

Sanken Hashiguchi had a smile on his face, and stretched a hand into the geisha's kimono and kneaded wantonly: "Takeshita-kun, Yajima-kun, your nerves are tense all day long at the front line, it's rare for you to have a chance to relax, but Cherish it well!"

"You guys, have to serve well!"

"Hi!" The three geisha were already familiar with the next process, and they didn't show any rejection.

Just when Zhou Weiguo and the two didn't know how to refuse, there was a sudden noise in the corridor.

"Baga, why is this? Why did Kazuko appear here?" A drunken Japanese army officer dragged a geisha and asked.

"Brother, I." The geisha lowered her head and said nothing.

"Ichiro has already died in battle for the empire, why do you treat Ichiro like this?"

This movement obviously caught the attention of the guests in the compartment on the second floor, and they all stuck their heads out to wait and see.

"Mr. Qiaokou, what's the matter?" Dong Jiang asked.

Facing Dong Jiang's inquiry, although Hashiguchi Sanjian didn't know the reason of the matter, he could guess the general idea of ​​the matter based on just a few words.

"I should have met someone I know!" Hashiguchi Sanjian also lost interest, and immediately ordered the three geisha in the house to go out.

When there was no one in the house, Sanken Hashiguchi said sadly, "This officer's younger brother died fighting for the empire, but the pension was forced to be saved, and his family was conscripted to the comfort station. The empire should not treat the warriors of the empire! "

Dong Jiang probably understood in his heart, isn't this just eating out of the house.

"Does this happen often?"

Hashiguchi Sanken did not give a direct reply, but said: "The war has been going on now, and the domestic economy is on the verge of collapse. In my hometown, Osaka, the work intensity of the factory has increased significantly, and even the continuous shift system has been implemented, forcing workers to stay overnight. Don’t sleep, work continuously for 36 hours. Farmers in the countryside have to hand over half of their year’s harvest to the state, and many families can’t get enough to eat!”

"Fortunately, I met His Excellency the Division Commander. It is under his leadership that the families of soldiers in our division can have enough to eat and survive!"

Because of the continuous war, the national economy of Japan is on par with the military. As a result, small and medium-sized enterprises that produce civilian products have brought huge disasters.

In 1937, 130 million people were unemployed in non-military enterprises, and in 1938 it reached 140 million.

Military industrial enterprises and high-ranking officials and aristocrats in Japan are making a lot of money in such wars, but the middle and lower classes are suffering terribly.

Japan's rural areas are even worse. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan has a large number of feudal remnants and life is difficult.

During the war, a group of peasants were conscripted or labored. The productivity in the countryside was insufficient, the acreage of paddy fields decreased, and the price of industrial products such as fertilizers increased. This caused the price of Japanese agricultural products to rise by 1941% in 1937 compared with 32. Japanese farmers could not produce normally at all. be more exploited.

Isamu Terauchi won the support of soldiers in the 104th Brigade and even the current 41st Division. It is precisely because he can bring tangible benefits to the soldiers that he can support his family in China.

After a farce, the three hurried back to the office.

While Dong Jiang and the two were chic, Cao Dabao, who had stayed in the office, also completed the joint task.

"Captain, deputy captain, this is the map provided by the comrades in Jinmen. The foreigners in the concession have been evacuated before, but the Japanese have paid attention to this and detained some important personnel in advance, mainly Americans. 76 people, these foreigners were concentrated and detained in the French Concession in the south!"

"In addition, there are 16 experts, professors and patriotic overseas Chinese who need to be rescued this time, and they are all detained in the public concession in the east!"

Cao Dabao reported in detail the specific location of the detention and the number of Japanese soldiers detained by the Japanese army. Before coming to Jinmen, everyone had anticipated the situation they were about to face.

"There are not many Japanese soldiers in custody, so it is easy to solve. The key is that once they do something, the Japanese soldiers in Jinmen City will be alert. With so many people, how can they get out?" Dong Jiang said distressed.

"It seems that it is necessary to make a big commotion in Jinmen!" Zhou Weiguo said, "We will check the specific situation separately tomorrow morning, and if the situation goes well, we will do it in the evening!"
