In terms of architecture, I have to say that Japan is an excellent 'copycat'. In the Japanese Concession, behind the embassy is a lush bamboo forest. A breeze blows, and the sound of rustling bamboo leaves is mixed with the fragrance of bamboo leaves.
, refreshing
Behind the bamboo forest are rows of imitation Tang Dynasty buildings full of antique flavor. The high roofs, flying eaves, large blue tiles, and large vermilion pillars all show the characteristics of Chinese architecture. If foreigners pay attention to
Romance, then what Chinese people pay attention to is taste. Since ancient times, Chinese people have liked small bridges and running water, quiet and secluded low-key and leisurely life taste, which is vividly reflected in architecture.
Japan, the so-called Yamato nation, is a well-deserved imitator. It cannot but be said that this nation is more attentive to the absorption of Chinese civilization. Hundreds of years ago, it began to have the idea of Chinese culture and strive to imitate it.
The building in front of you is a good example. The "Yuanhe Building" in the Japanese Concession shows its uniqueness in the extremely foreign-oriented Shanghai Bund.
Walking in the bamboo forest, stepping on the bluestone path, with the drifting willow leaves on his head, Lin Jiale felt that he felt much better and calmed down. Looking at the quiet and classic Tang Dynasty-style buildings in front of him, Lin Jiale felt that the Japanese were not that stupid.
With incompetence, at least the counterfeiting technology is good
Yamamoto, who was leading the way, had no taste at all and had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery in front of him. His thick-soled military boots clicked on the bluestone, which showed Yamamoto's inner impatience.
In front of the vermilion gate, several Japanese soldiers with live ammunition stood upright. When they saw Colonel Yamamoto approaching, they immediately nodded and saluted in a well-trained manner. A man with glasses and a big head quickly came to greet Yamamoto and said respectfully: "Colonel Yamamoto."
, Commander Sakahara invites you!"
Yamamoto stretched out his hand majestically, "Translator Zeng! Please!" Lin Jiale naturally knew that Zeng Xiaosheng was a famous Japanese translator and was also a famous Japanese concession lackey. Lin Jiale cooperated with the Japanese and just wanted to use the Japanese to achieve his own political goals.
In fact, Lin Jiale's ancestor was a great hero of the Republic of China. In his heart, Lin Jiale hated the cruel and bellicose Japan.
Entering the house, Sakahara knelt on the bed and sat upright with his eyes closed. Translator Zeng led Yamamoto and Lin Jiale in, closed the door and left.
There were no electric lights in the room. There were more than a dozen big red candles lit, revealing the classical beauty of the East. Lin Jiale nodded with satisfaction. If electric lights were installed in such a building, it would be the biggest failure. Now it seems that Commander Sakahara
Have a very high understanding and taste of Chinese culture
Yamamoto bowed respectfully to salute and said with a solemn expression: "General Sakahara, Yamamoto Kazuo is here to accept the crime!"
Sakahara opened his eyes, and the two cold lights of the forest shone directly on Yamamoto's face. Yamamoto's body trembled obviously. Commander Sakahara was a famous cold-blooded general who killed many people. Yamamoto had no doubt that Sakahara would treat him.
To kill Yamamoto, of course all it takes is a word from Sakahara, and Yamamoto will definitely obey unconditionally...
Yamamoto was looked at coldly by Sakahara, and Yamamoto lowered his head even lower: "General, I am very sorry for the death of Master Yanagida, and I am willing to take full responsibility!"
Strictly speaking, Sakahara was still Yanagita's disciple. Yanagita had given Sakahara some guidance in his early years. Sakahara had already known about Yanagita's death, but Bushido duels were all about fair life and death duels. Sakahara could only mourn in silence from the bottom of his heart.
"Forget it! I can't blame you for Master Yanagita's death! I called you here today because I have other matters to discuss. Time is running out and you have to plan in advance!" Sakahara said coldly.
"Lin Jun, tell me, what do you think about your plan to become the mayor of Shanghai?" Sakahara looked at Lin Jiale, who was standing proudly, and said coldly.
"I think the plan was perfect, but the appearance of Deng Long broke all my arrangements!" Lin Jiale was delighted when he saw the opportunity, but his face was very solemn.
"Deng Long? Who is it?" Sakahara frowned and asked.
"General, Deng Long is a detective. It was this person who ruined Hongmen's plan to fight with the French. It was also this person who killed Master Yanagida and publicly insulted the majesty of our Imperial Japanese Army. I suggest sending elite troops to get rid of him.
This person!" Yamamoto replied solemnly
Lin Jiale was naturally overjoyed. It was Yamamoto who had been working with him for a long time. This person was really very small-minded and easy to take advantage of.
"Oh, it's him! I will naturally deal with this person, but this person is not the most important right now. You have more important things to do right now!" Sakahara waved his hand and said calmly.
"Please tell me, General!" Yamamoto asked in confusion.
Sakahara looked at Lin Jiale who looked calm and said: "If I remember correctly, there are only nine days until the Shanghai mayoral election. Mr. Lin should understand that our big plan is the most important, and how powerful can one person be?"
"What I want you to do now is to unify Shanghai as quickly as possible."
Lin Jiale had to admire Sakahara's foresight. It seemed that little Japan was not full of fools like Yamamoto. Lin Jiale handed over his hand and said to Sakahara: "The general is absolutely right, but I still ask the general to make the next deployment."
Sakahara nodded with satisfaction, "I have dispatched two elite divisions of the Imperial Army from the Nanjing Headquarters. Shanghai's geographical location and political significance are very extraordinary. We must capture the troops and they will arrive in Shanghai tonight. I am very grateful to you."
My request is to gather your strength and capture Hongmen within three days. If necessary, I will send troops to assist you."
Yamamoto and Lin Jiale looked at each other. Unexpectedly, Sakahara actually mobilized the strength of two divisions for Shanghai. As long as the army enters Shanghai, there is no doubt that the Japanese Concession will become the largest force in Shanghai.
However, Lin Jiale was very frightened. Before the secret of "Love in a Fallen City" was solved, even if he became the mayor of Shanghai, he would probably be a puppet of the Japanese. That was not what he wanted. Two divisions
The power of the Japanese army should not be underestimated. Even if all the forces he secretly formed in eastern Zhejiang were gathered together, I am afraid that they would not be able to compete with the regular elite Japanese army.
Now Lin Jiale was depressed. He didn't expect the Japanese to be so cunning and ambitious. "If you can't catch an eagle, you will be blinded by an eagle." Lin Jiale felt miserable in his heart.
However, Lin Jiale had an ecstatic expression on his face. He clapped his hands and laughed and said: "Great! With the help of the general, the unification of Shanghai is just around the corner. I will join forces with Colonel Yamamoto to attack Hong Kong tomorrow."
Door, but..." Lin Jiale said and frowned.
"But what? Just tell Mr. Lin if you have a problem?" Sakahara said unhappily. Chinese people are like this, they are always secretive and not forthcoming enough.
"Hongmen and Zhonghetang are allies. I'm afraid Zhonghetang will intervene. And the backstage of Zhonghetang is French. I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle!" Lin Jiale said!
"Haha" Sakahara raised his head and laughed, "Lin Jun was originally worried about this. The French are already very busy with the war in Europe. They are no longer what they were back then. I will go say hello then. If Zhonghetang dares to intervene,
I will send the army to fight and clean up these so-called gangs."
"With the general's words, I feel relieved," Lin Jiale said
"Yamamoto, you go to the arsenal, provide enough arms to the Ax Gang, and merge all your soldiers into the Ax Gang. If you want to create a bloody battle between the two gangs, I won't do it until necessary.
Being able to send out the army is also a test for you. If you can't even take down a small gang, you are not worthy of serving the emperor!" Sakahara stood up and said coldly.
"Yes! General, Yamamoto promises to complete the mission!" Yamamoto stood up, bent down to salute, and shouted firmly
"Well, get down!" Sakahara waved his hand.
At the end of summer, Shanghai Beach became increasingly hot and unbearable. At night, a long-awaited downpour finally came. The heavy rain brought a bit of coolness to the hot Shanghai Beach, but it did not relieve the heavy dullness of Shanghai Beach at all. There was a sense of smell in the air.
A gloomy, depressing atmosphere
An extended train traveling from north to south was traveling quickly in the heavy rain. The rumbling train brought uneasiness to the weather-beaten sky in China. The rain fell even faster, pouring down densely, as if it wanted to drown this darkness and helplessness.
The land of...
After a few hours, the train finally arrived at its terminal station, Shanghai Station! The train made a loud gasp and stopped steadily at the Shanghai Railway Station. This time, the people who got off were not tired tourists. They were wearing thick-soled military boots and holding hands.
The Japanese soldiers with bayonets and steel guns jumped off the train neatly, their wolf-like bloodthirsty eyes flashing with the cold light of killing.
The Japanese finally arrived. Sakahara's two elite divisions entered Shanghai Beach. The entire Shanghai Beach seemed to be trembling, and the air became increasingly dull and depressing...
