Expedition to Europe

Chapter 924 Earthquake

Public morale is a very strange thing. It is illusory, invisible and intangible, but it really exists.

When the Chinese nation is in a critical moment of life and death, there will always be countless people with lofty ideals who stand up to fight for the country. Japanese society is deeply influenced by Han culture, and there are actually many "people with lofty ideals".

However, these people who can be called "people with lofty ideals" for Japan are obviously heretics in Girardin's view.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the square in front of the parliament was already in chaos, with old men and strong men rolling around and fighting each other. The old men were of course vicious and hateful, and every move was fatal. The young people fought back in a sinister way, avoiding the real and attacking the fake, and did whatever they could to make the old men look unbecoming.

You bite me? It doesn't matter, I'll pull your hair--

You scratch me? It doesn't matter, I'll scratch your face and spit on your face--

You took my second brother?

Okay, at this point, it's considered to be achieved, let's change the target and continue.

The strategy of the "Qin Army" is to disgust you to death without beating or scolding you.

The first person to be disgusted to death was Kazuo Mita. Kazuo Mita did not complete the "tragic" caesarean section in the end, but died of a sudden heart attack. He did not die on the small temporary platform, but died of a sudden heart attack when he was changing clothes because he was splashed with feces.

He was naked when he died.

He really came naked and left naked.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, Girardin finally saw enough of the excitement. A large number of military and police began to enter the scene. No matter whether they were old men and women or young people, they were all arrested and locked up in News Street.

News Street is next to the Congress Square. After the communication stations of major newspapers were withdrawn, the entire News Street was empty and now it is used as a temporary prison.

However, even if all the houses are full of people, they still cannot be locked up. This does not matter. Tokyo, which has a population of 3.5 million, now has only 2 million people, and there are vacant houses.

After returning to the Lan Fang headquarters in Japan, Yang Kai took the initiative to communicate with Girardin.

"What should we do next?" Yang Kai was humble enough.

In terms of military rank, Yang Kai's rank was a little higher than Girardin's, but Yang Kai never put on "official airs" in front of Girardin. If he had to put on airs, it would be Girardin who did it.

Girardin was Qin Zhiyuan's confidant, and the most trusted one. How much did Qin Zhiyuan value Girardin? Girardin's favorite coffee was airlifted in almost every day. Of course, it was mixed with other supplies, but it was marked separately and directly supplied by the Lanfang Palace.

This was actually the work of Misha, but in the eyes of ordinary people, Misha was equivalent to Qin Zhiyuan.

"Notify the family to come and pick up the person, and sign a letter of guarantee. They must guarantee that they will break off with Taisho, never mention Taisho's family on any occasion, and will not participate in any commemorative activities. Only in this way can they go home." Girardin was completely determined.

"I guess few people will sign it." Yang Kai was not optimistic.

"Then send them all to the northern border area, and let them commemorate Taisho in the ice and snow." Girardin was decisive.

Girardin had no good feelings or respect for Taisho, which can be reflected in the way he addressed her.

Generally speaking, even if Taisho was dead, he was once the emperor, and he should be given due respect when he was mentioned. After all, in the traditional Eastern customs, "the dead are the greatest."

However, this set of rules does not work for Girardin. Girardin is a Westerner, and a Western woman. "Gentlemanly manners" and "chivalrous manners" are not very suitable for Girardin.

"Send them all to the northern border area--" Yang Kai repeated subconsciously.

These are all old men and women. If they are all sent to the northern border area, it is estimated that they will not live until the end of the year. The key is that there are a lot of people, tens of thousands of people. If they are all sent there, Yang Kai will not be able to bear it.

"Why, you don't agree?" Girardin's eyes were cold.

"No, no, no, I agree. I think that when their families take their people away, they should pay for food or something." Yang Kai corrected his mistakes. He is still a good comrade!

"Of course you have to pay, ten yuan a day, not a penny less." Girardin is the real money-grubber.

This "ten yuan" is not Japanese yen, but Lan Fang yuan. The Japanese yen has now depreciated to the point where it cannot be further depreciated. The exchange rate with Lan Fang currency is about one thousand to one.

Even in Tokyo, few people use Japanese yen. Lan Fang yuan is Japan's current "common currency", and this is the currency chosen by Japanese citizens on their own initiative, not a mandatory requirement of the Lan Fang headquarters in Japan.

It is not possible to not use Lan Fang currency. The largest denomination of Japanese yen is 10,000, but the number is extremely small. This is still the currency issued by the Japanese Congress. The currency used in the Taisho era has been invalidated. The most common Japanese yen now is the one-yuan note. If you want to buy a steamed bun, you have to take a stack of them, which is really inconvenient.

The Japanese Congress issued currency just to disgust the Japanese. The 10,000 yen and the 1-yuan yen were the most common, and the middle-denomination currency was rare. The problem was that the middle-denomination currency was the most in demand, which actually forced the Japanese to use Lan Fang currency.

Ten yuan a day, this is not a small number. The salary of Japanese workers employed by the Lan Fang headquarters in Japan was one yuan per person per day, but Tokyo citizens still flocked to it.

It seems that few of those old men and women can go home, and they are probably facing the fate of being exiled to the northern border area.

"This standard is a bit high. Our soldiers only have one dollar a day for food--" Yang Kai was still a little shocked.

One dollar a day for food is already a lot. The Lan Fang headquarters in Japan purchases materials in a unified manner. This is considered wholesale, and it is also an internal price. Apart from anything else, it is guaranteed that you can see meat every day.

To be honest, Yang Kai is still very envious of Girardin. The money Girardin collected does not need to be recorded in the account. All of it goes into the small treasury of the "Qin Corps". The "Qin Corps" was established for more than half a year. Without asking for a penny of financial appropriation, it is now equipped with cars and armored vehicles. Such wealth and power even makes Yang Kai feel impressed.

Of course, this ten dollars is just a cover. It is good to have one or two cents to spend on these people. The prison food of the "Qin Corps" is slightly better than pig food. Anyway, it cannot catch up with the living standards of ordinary residents in Tokyo.

"It's deserved!" Girardin probably thinks it's too little.

As soon as Girardin finished speaking, a strange sound came suddenly.

The original text is available at # 9 @Book/Bar!

This sound is like the creaking sound of metal on an ocean-going freighter sailing on the ocean; it is also like the rumbling thunder before a storm; it is more like the howling of the wind in the center of the storm when the storm comes; it is also a bit like the roar of the engine when the armored troops move in.

"What's going on these days--" Yang Kai sniffed twice, smelling the sulfur in the air and was very dissatisfied.

"No--" Girardin just opened his mouth, and suddenly felt the ground under his feet shaking violently.

"Earthquake--" Girardin only said two words, and then was thrown to the ground by the violent shaking.

"Go, go--" At the critical moment, Yang Kai was still very reliable. Although the ground under his feet was shaking violently like a drum head being hit violently, Yang Kai still half-squatted and pulled up Girardin who fell to the ground.

The Lanfang headquarters in Japan mostly used wooden structures for housing, including Girardin's office.

Wooden houses still have advantages. In the violent shaking, although the house was shaky, it did not collapse after all, but it was unavoidable to tilt. The furnishings in the room were also tilted. When Yang Kai went out, he was hit on the head by a picture frame that fell from the wall, and his face was immediately covered with blood.

"Sister--" Lan Ziying's reaction was also fast enough. Only three or four seconds after the earthquake, Lan Ziying had rushed from the parking lot to the door of Girardin.

Just after going out, not far away from Girardin, Yang Kai, Lan Ziying and others, the ammunition depot where the Japanese headquarters stored ammunition suddenly exploded. A huge orange-red flame shot up into the sky, followed by a shock wave that rushed in the face. Girardin and others were pushed back into the room heavily.

"Go, go--" Yang Kai did not stand up quickly this time. Yang Kai's left leg was folded together at a very strange angle.

Yang Kai broke his leg when he fell just now.

Girardin, who already had blood on the corner of his mouth, did not hesitate to grab the clothes on Yang Kai's shoulders and drag him out the door.

"You go, you go——" Yang Kai still struggled.

"Shut up! Lan Fang soldiers will never abandon their companions!" It's hard for Girardin to say such a long sentence.

In fact, the whole Tokyo has fallen into chaos at this moment, and the headquarters in Japan is also in a mess.

The soldiers are still well-trained. They can carry out self-rescue in the face of an irresistible earthquake. There are soldiers who are still frightened and supporting each other everywhere. Some people are searching and rescuing in the ruined house. More people are running around like headless flies trying to find a safe place. Some female soldiers have begun to cry.

"Giji——Stabilize the situation and prevent someone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos." Yang Kai, who was bleeding and had a broken leg, did not forget his work.

"Giji", Yang Kai knew this nickname of Girardin, but he had never used it. After experiencing mutual assistance at the critical moment of life and death, Yang Kai obviously had the qualifications to use this nickname.

Natural disasters like "earthquakes" are easy to be associated with "divine punishment". The Taisho family just died. If some people take advantage of this to stir up trouble, there will definitely be a certain market.

Giraldin did not object, but he was not worried. When the word "official" is opened, it depends on how you say it: "Divine punishment - humph, even if it is divine punishment, it is not directed at our Lan Fang! Otherwise, why did the earthquake happen in Tokyo? Instead of in Coconut City or Surabaya?"

Giraldin's words made sense, and Yang Kai was speechless.
