Volume 6 [The tiger is also strong when it goes to sea] NO.163 The grace in front of the famous knife
At the bottom of the valley on the south side of Mount Paropamisus, the military flag of the Sakata Regiment was taken away just like this. A glory that the Japanese Empire had enjoyed for more than a hundred years was taken away just like this.
The sixty-four battle flags have never been captured even after eight years of fierce fighting between China and Japan. Now that this flag has been seized, is it to deprive them of their designations?
The special operations Bantian Regiment, a regiment directly under the base camp, had sixty-two corpses and twenty-seven seriously injured and disabled. All military vehicles were destroyed, so nothing was left.
When it was introduced into the country, the Japanese government and the public were shocked.
The Japanese Prime Minister panicked and made humble inquiries to the U.S. government. Self-examination was powerless, and the only person he could seek help from was the U.S. government.
You know, the emperor only found out about such a thing when he got the Asahi Shimbun newspaper the morning after the news report.
Sixty-two people, what kind of concept is this?
The losses were so heavy that it was horrifying.
Was Afghanistan originally a place full of meat grinders?
The people's voice is getting stronger and stronger, but unlike a hundred and fifty years ago, this time they are not clamoring for sending troops abroad to fight a decisive battle on the sea.
Instead, he asked the government cabinet to quickly withdraw Japan's Self-Defense Forces into the country.
First of all, I was frightened, but I dared not sign the order because the United States had not yet given a clear answer.
As a result, slogans were used on the Japanese Internet to punish the traitors of the country, respect the king and defeat the barbarians.
There was even a member of a Japanese radical organization who cut off his fingers at the Prime Minister's Office to express his will. Blood spattered three feet, and his roar seemed to be transmitted, making people fearful of the madness of the islanders in this island country.
Fragile, yet full of hysteria.
After all, island countries are island countries. They have no sense of security, are weaker, and are even less able to withstand the huge pressure.
At the same time, Mark's Sanxuantang finally arrived at Namaksar Lake, where Zhang Yaozu's two reinforced platoons responded. In fact, Zhang Yaozu secretly established a stronghold in Odalu and almost ran it.
For two months, it eventually evolved into an enclave in the Uruzgan base. After all, it was close to the lake, making it easier to hide their stronghold.
The two marshals formed an alliance and their strength became much stronger.
When Mark saw Shi Guangren, he was stunned and blurted out: "You are actually here!"
Shi Guangren sneered: "Is there anything wrong with me showing up here?"
Mark immediately understood that all this was the dirty work of the imperial court, specifically designed to make Americans unhappy. Originally, this road was supposed to be the center of the world, the Asia-Europe corridor, but now, it has become the graveyard of the empire, Afghanistan or something.
There is a shortage of all, but there is no shortage of fanatic believers.
Using brute force to fight a group of brainless cult followers, only the Bush administration with an IQ just above the normal line would let the United States run their war machine.
Although those guys on Wall Street have made a lot of money from this, they are still not satisfied.
The survival of American soldiers?
Who cares?
In the West Asia and the Middle East where the United States and the Soviet Union once competed for hegemony, now, only the roar of the United States is floating there. Of course, there is an old saying: Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
The obvious influence led to the most direct resistance to the hot war.
"Damn it... If I had known that you, a son of a bitch, were raised here, I would have come over here!"
Mark smacked his lips. Although no one was killed by the little Japanese, near the Farah River, the US military helicopters still killed two of his men, and even Zhang Yaozu's reinforced platoon was reduced by more than half.
There is no way to do this. At least it seems that now, they are here and there is no way to confront the high-tech of the United States.
But now, the Americans have no choice but to hold on and have no other choice...
…
"The war in Afghanistan will continue."
During the charity sale, someone in the private room whispered.
These people didn't seem to want to show their faces, they just watched and chatted with each other.
Below, when the Toyama Ichimonji appeared, Zhang Ben's eyes lit up. It was a good sword, one of the supreme fast swords. It was a famous sword given to the Toyama Zaibatsu by the Japanese royal family, although it was actually dedicated to the Toyama family in the first place.
of Emperor Meiji.
Just return the property to its original owner.
But now, it seems that the owner of this knife is going to auction it?
A famous sword must be worth at least 250,000 US dollars. This is still priceless, and the usual transaction price is around 550,000 US dollars.
This supremely sharp knife is naturally more expensive.
The most important thing is that such a supremely sharp knife is obviously not used for slashing, but for display, collection, and showing off...
Show your devotion to martial arts, collect the spirit of ancient warriors, and show off your rich family fortune.
That's all.
Some people may think, how can a stylish upper-class person be so boring? Just to show off?
But they don’t know that as long as they are human beings, they will have desires, and showing off is also a kind of desire.
Returning home in rich clothes will never be at night, otherwise it would be called a night walk in rich clothes.
As soon as it came up, it was a supremely sharp knife. Zhang Ben thought in his mind: It is really a game for the rich.
For this kind of Japanese knives, especially the supreme sharp knives, wealthy people from both the East and the West are actually very interested.
Even the Chinese themselves have a strange feeling towards Oriental swords.
Huang Shiro glanced at the Toyama Ichimonji and held up the sign.
In fact, as soon as the auctioneer quoted the low price of 300,000 US dollars, Huang Silang raised his placard at the same time.
A one-time increase of 50,000 yuan.
Not even for a second, the $50,000 on the ground soared.
Zhang Bi was very surprised: Huang Silang was also interested in the Supreme Knife?
Although this kind of famous sword is eye-catching, for a traditional warrior like Zhang Bi, it is really useless.
It is powerful for piercing and slashing, but it is too rigid and lacks toughness.
A two-handed machete can easily cut the machete in two with one full blow.
And it is nothing more than a scroll.
If you are strong, the knife must be thick, because the purpose of holding a knife is not to repel or defeat, but to cut people in two, which is the pursuit of a broad sword.
The purpose of Japanese swords is different.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand..."
The auctioneer was about to speak when he saw the German holding up a sign. It only took a few seconds. Green also liked the knife. The most important thing was that he heard the name of the knife, McKenna.
Miss?
He rolled his eyes casually to confirm the woman's position.
There were a bunch of Americans and Japanese.
The person sitting in the first seat was the Chinese CEO of the Toyama Consortium, and next to him was the expatriate specialist of the Seattle Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in the United States.
Both of them have special status, and the foreign commissioner of American Western Machinery actually has a very complicated background. He was a member of the U.S. Marine Corps in his early years, and his father was a congressman in Seattle. Of course, if anyone finds out that his mother is actually at Apple.
If you are a legal advisor, then everything can explain the problem very well.
He is a descendant of a powerful family, so he appears here at such a young age.
Of course, there are indeed more young people here.
The female companion next to this expatriate commissioner is a woman with an extremely attractive posture and appearance. This woman is wearing a red low-cut evening dress, a white LV bag on her knees, and a black lace trim on her hand.
The gloves are very stylish, and the eye shadow is a bit dark, as if she is hiding something. If her facial features were not so American, I would really not believe that this woman is actually American.
At least Mr. Green, the illegitimate son of the German Crown Prince, initially thought she was English.
Worst of all, they are Welsh or Luxembourgish.
Her temperament is very similar.
Eva McKenna.
Among the people present, perhaps no one recognized her.
But there are just as many people paying attention to her as there are people paying attention to Helen.
Zhang Bi didn't pay attention to this woman, but stared at the Toyama Ichimonji with some doubts in his heart.
He still knows something about the Toyama family's great sword, this supremely famous sword.
The reason why I know this is because Zhang Sanxian’s eldest brother Zhang Juxian had an encounter with this sword when he died that year, because at that time, the flower of the army, Toyama Zuo, was in the Japanese base camp outside Jinan South City. His sword was
This Toyama Ichimonji.
Originally there was only one golden chrysanthemum on it, but later after Toyama Zuo married the princess, another chrysanthemum was added to show His Majesty the Emperor's grace and to express the Toyama Zaibatsu's loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.
Of course, after Japan's defeat, the so-called grace and loyalty were basically bullshit.
In particular, the American atomic bomb made little Japan realize that chrysanthemums sometimes become sticky.
"Miss McKenna, you are really a lucky star. Look at these gentlemen, oh my God, your Japanese sword now costs more than half a million dollars."
Mark Williams was complaining like crazy there.
The people around were also slightly shocked. Although they were either rich or noble, people who were used to seeing wind and waves were indeed shocked by the customs on Chinese territory.
Huang Silang looked in front of him expressionlessly, and raised the sign casually, as if he was determined to win.
Green, the illegitimate son of the German Crown Prince, has given up. Of course, he still maintained a very elegant posture when he gave up, and he just cursed in his heart: Damn the Chinese upstart!
Chen Guo and Shao Shuai kept watching. When Huang Silang raised the sign again to push the price to 650,000, Shao Shuai weakly raised the sign, and then Chen Guo said in a powerful baritone: "One million.
"
That kind of taking it for granted and doing whatever you want is really a bit surprising.
However, Huang Silang curled his lips and did not continue to raise the sign.
Although Chen Guo kept smiling, Shao Shuai next to him had a dark face.
Only then did Zhang Bi realize that Huang Silang was seeking revenge.
