The Republic of Heroes

The red sun was just rising, and when the citizens of Shanghai were about to buy a newspaper for the day as usual, they found that the newsboys peddling along the streets all over the streets disappeared overnight.Someone found a fixed place of sale, only to find out that the military and police suddenly blocked several newspaper offices last night, and the newspaper offices that were not blocked were also ordered to suspend business for rectification.

"Didn't everyone say the revolution was a success? Why aren't even the newspapers allowed to read now?"

"This is clearly a dictatorship..."

"In my opinion, this Chairman Jiang is not as good as the great president of Beiyang back then..."

The citizens of Shanghai are accustomed to freedom, but now they are restricted from reading newspapers, and all their dissatisfaction has been turned into gossip, and they have the potential to drown Chiang Kai-shek with their spittle.But the saliva star can't drown people, so the newspaper office was still closed, and after a few words of cursing, they felt a little peace in their hearts and then rushed away.

But not all of them took this method to let out a sigh of relief in their chests.

At noon that day, students and workers suddenly took to the streets and announced that the workers were on strike and the students were on strike.

This caught the Shanghai Garrison Headquarters by surprise. None of the military, police, and special departments had made a plan in advance. Isn't it just closing down the newspaper? What's wrong with your workers and students?Made it so loud.

But looking closely at the slogans and slogans put up by the students and workers, it was not the newspaper that was blocked. The students had a clear-cut stand and demanded that the authorities immediately release General Zhang and at the same time find out and severely punish the murderer of General Wu.The workers were even more estranged from the newspaper closure incident, and demanded that the authorities release the worker brothers who had been arrested before.

To suppress or not to suppress?Shanghai Mayor Wu Tiecheng was hesitant. He instinctively felt that the outbreak of turmoil was not that simple.But if no measures are taken and the turmoil is allowed to continue, will Shanghai be in chaos soon?

Wu Tiecheng struggled for a long time before finally making a compromise decision. All the military and police officers were dispatched, but not to suppress, but to maintain order.As long as the workers and students are honest, it doesn't matter whether they are marching or shouting slogans, they can do whatever they want.But if there is a further deviant move, they have to resort to force.

While Wu Tiecheng was struggling, he crossed the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, and on one of the four large islands in the northeast of China Overseas, a lieutenant general also fell into the struggle, hatred and deep pain.This person is Ningji Okamura, the commander of the Ninth Division who was ordered to die in the Songhu War but suffered unspeakable serious injuries.

From the moment he woke up, it was doomed that humiliation and pain would linger around Neiji Okamura like tarsal maggots.When he just woke up, he only felt that certain parts of his body were extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't think much about it. It wasn't until he found in the toilet that the baby he had come to pass on to the next generation was cut off by Qi Gen, that he realized what had happened .

It was also from that moment on that he felt that the nurses around him looked at him with sympathy, pity, mockery and amusement.

Neiji Okamura vowed to inflict the pain on the Chinese people a hundred times, a thousand times, and ten thousand times.He has to look at the name and photo of that General China every day, reminding himself that he has not avenged his revenge and should not give up his life.

Out of the dignity of a warrior, facing such a crippled body, he shouldn't have any face to live in the world. Only in this way can he suppress the thought of committing seppuku that rises in his mind from time to time.

But early this morning, a piece of news came from China like a bolt from the blue.General China was actually killed by their own people!

Who is so cheap, robbed him of the glory that should have belonged to him, or robbed him of the only last way to restore his dignity.

The attendant's voice rang softly in Neiji Okamura's ear.

"General Lin Xi wants to see the general."

Neiji Okamura was immediately brought back to reality by the fury of meditation, with a gloomy face that seemed to drip water, he snorted heavily.

"understood!"

The attendant knew that the lieutenant general in Gang Village had a very weird temper, so he didn't dare to stay longer, and after a briefing, he walked away as if fleeing, and secretly slandered, maybe people with physical defects have weird tempers, changeable and irritable.

Hayashi Mijuro looked at the emaciated Okamura Neiji. The young officer he had been very optimistic about seemed to be a different person in just a few months. There was no trace, replaced by a venom of prey and a chilling resentment.He sighed, people with physical disabilities will inevitably have this kind of change, Gangcun is Gangcun after all, he can stand up from the depression and not be knocked down by pain, which shows that he is still worthy of a great responsibility.

Many army officers in the Songhu War were punished to varying degrees, but Gang Village was different. I don't know whether it was out of compensation for him or the high-level military officials favored him, so he was promoted to the rank of Central Committee for the first time. Will.

"sit down!"

This is not a formal meeting, but a personal meeting.So Hayashi Mijuro was wearing a kimono and sitting on his own tatami. He casually took the empty seat opposite the table in front of him and let Okamura Neiji sit down and talk.

Komura Ningji is fully equipped with military uniforms. Since he was wounded, his clothes are only military uniforms, because only this military uniform can give him a little bit of masculinity that is getting away from him a little bit.After he straightened his body and bowed his head in salute, he carefully knelt down on the tatami and looked at Hayashi Mijuro across the small table, hoping to get some answers about the purpose of calling him here this time.

Of course the result was futile, but Hayashi Mijuro didn't keep him waiting long, and soon got straight to the point:

"China's own people are in chaos, and even the general of China was killed by their own people."

Neiji Okamura's face twitched a few times unnaturally, and he said coldly: "The Chinese people destroyed the Great Wall by themselves, and the imperial country saved a lot of trouble."

Hayashi Mijuro did not stop at the topic of General Shina, but went deeper:

"According to reliable news, some young men in the North China Garrison are planning a war. What does Mr. Gangcun think?"

Okamura Ningji's facial muscles twitched a few more times, he was surprised that General Lin Xian called him for this, but what surprised him even more was that the garrison army seemed to have broken away from the control of the cabinet and the military department ?Once upon a time, the various factions in the Imperial Army became like warlords, and it was already difficult for the authority of the central government to prohibit them.

Emotionally, Neiji Okamura is [-]% willing to go to war with China, but his position tells him that he must handle relations with China carefully. After all, the Imperial Kingdom has just annexed the Northeast, and it will take three to five years to digest it.He believes that it doesn't take much, as long as it takes three years to digest the four eastern provinces of China, the imperial country will have the capital and strength to conquer China.

"What does the general mean?"

Okamura Ningji guessed the real purpose of Hayashi Mijuro calling him this time.

"The military department needs you to go to China."

Hearing this sentence protruding from Hayashi Mijuro's mouth, Okamura Ningji's pupils shrank suddenly, and when they got bigger again, they seemed to burn a raging flame.Being able to return to China is the root of his hatred, and this root is revenge. Now that General China has been killed by his own people, he will inflict this pain thousands of times to other General China, such as Zhang Xueliang.

Lin Xianjuro continued: "Mr. Gangcun's mission to Tianjin this time is to stabilize your Ninth Division. Don't join the mutiny of the North China Garrison Army. It is not in the interests of Huang Guo to start a war against China."

It turned out that when the troops were withdrawn during the Songhu War, the Ninth Division was transferred from Shanghai to Tianjin to strengthen the deterrence against Zhang Xueliang and Wu Xiaoliang, but the division commander Neji Okamura was seriously injured and was taken back to China for treatment.

The Ninth Division was already holding back their breath. Once the North China Garrison decided to launch a mutiny, they would be willing to follow. But this is definitely not an excellent time to start a war against China, so they must be stopped. The Ninth Division Chief Gang Muran Ningji is the perfect candidate to come forward to carry out this task.Although he suffered a great loss at the hands of General China, Hayashi Mijuro always believed that he was a person who took care of the overall situation, and believed that he would restrain his inner hatred and safeguard the interests of Huang Guo.This is also one of the reasons why he made an exception for promotion and reuse of Gangcun Ningji.

Okamura Ningji was in a hurry to go to China this time, but this time he was not on a merchant ship, but a newly launched armored cruiser.

The warship sailed eastward at a speed of more than 26 knots, and the split water waves splashed on both sides. For a moment, Neiji Okamura almost forgot the pain of the tarsus maggot, but the voice of the attendant sounded inappropriately.

"The general is about to arrive at the port of China."

"After the warship docks, all personnel land immediately, and don't delay for half a minute."

"Roms!"

Okamura Ningji was thinking about the repeated explanations given by General Lin Xi when he was leaving. He was full of respect, admiration and gratitude for his teacher-like boss.If it weren't for him, it would be impossible for him to be promoted to a handful of lieutenant generals in half a year from a large number of generals in the Imperial Army.His speed has already broken the records in the Japanese military, creating the myth of the fastest promotion.

When he was promoted to major general, many people optimistically predicted that Gangcun would definitely become the youngest general in the empire, or even the youngest marshal.Thinking of Marshal Neiji Okamura's facial muscles twitching habitually, this has become an eternal pain in his heart.Because the Imperial Army would not allow a man with a physical disability to be a marshal, he could only be a general in his life, no matter how outstanding his achievements were.

Neiji Okamura led his team to land as quickly as possible, formed a team, and set off without delay.He realized that the sooner he arrived at the headquarters of the Ninth Division, the better it would be for him to control the situation as soon as possible, lest the situation develop as General Lin Xian expected.
