A small candle illuminated a dark, damp and cramped space. Except for two entrances like monster mouths, the space was surrounded by four cold cement walls, with water droplets leaking from the top and condensing from time to time.
Drops of water fell on the floor, making a soft thud.
There is a mattress in the corner of the space.
At this time, Xu Rui was lying on the mattress and falling asleep.
He didn't know what he was dreaming about in his sleep. Xu Rui suddenly shouted in horror: "Dad, wolf, there is a wolf!"
Diguo, who was sitting next to him cleaning his gun, turned around and looked at Xu Rui in surprise. Xiao Taohong, who was resting on the mattress, was also awakened by Xu Rui's cry. When she looked up, she saw Xu Rui struggling desperately.
He stood up and raised his hands, as if desperately trying to prevent something from happening, and a heavy cold sweat broke out on his forehead and face.
Xiao Taohong immediately felt distressed. She quickly picked up a towel and wiped Xu Rui's sweat carefully.
"Dad, Dad!" Xu Rui's nightmare continued, and he kept letting out heart-breaking screams, but he immediately became gnashing his teeth and looking ferocious, "I will fight you, die, die!"
While screaming, Xu Rui began to wave his hands vigorously, as if to drive something away.
Xiao Taohong quickly reached out and hugged Xu Rui's head, calling softly: "Uncle, it's okay."
Amidst Xiao Taohong's gentle words of comfort, Xu Rui's expression gradually relaxed and he fell asleep again.
However, the curiosity of the sweet potato next to her was completely aroused. She came over and asked Xiao Taohong: "Sister Hong, it seems that the leader has never talked about his family. What do his parents do?"
Xiao Taohong rolled her eyes and scolded: "Why are children asking so many questions?"
Di Gua was bored, stuck out his tongue, then retracted it and continued to clean his pistol.
While Xiao Taohong continued to wipe Xu Rui's face with a towel, she was also a little curious. What did my uncle's father and mother do? Are they still alive? And why did my uncle never mention it? Not only his parents, but also my uncle.
Even his past has never been mentioned to anyone.
Under Xiao Taohong's soft words of comfort, Xu Rui fell asleep again.
The underground space became quiet again, except for the occasional sound of water drops.
After a long time, Digua, who was cleaning the gun, suddenly stopped his hand, listened for a moment and then whispered softly: "Sister Hong, it seems someone is coming!"
Xiao Taohong quickly blew out the candle and prepared the gun.
Digua also pulled the bolt of the cell phone and was ready to shoot.
Not long after, Xiao Taohong also heard subtle footsteps.
The footsteps got closer and closer, and then there were three frog calls, one long, two short, and short.
Hearing these three frog calls, the expressions of Xiao Taohong and Digua immediately relaxed. Digua immediately jumped up and walked out from the hole that was as tall as one person: "Captain, are you back?"
A flashlight lit up outside the cave entrance, and it shone on Sweet Potato.
Leng Tiefeng was the only one who came in, Wu Han and the other three did not follow.
After walking into this underground space, Leng Tiefeng saw Xu Rui lying on the mattress at a glance. His expression immediately changed, and he stepped in front of Xu Rui and asked urgently: "What's wrong with Old Xu?"
"It's nothing serious." Digua replied casually, "I'm just entering a period of weakness."
"Weak period?" Leng Tiefeng immediately frowned and asked, "Did Lao Xu activate the secret technique again?"
"It's all my fault." Xiao Taohong told the story of what happened in the Imperial Palace Square quite guiltily, and finally said, "If it hadn't been for not hitting Hirohito, my uncle wouldn't have had to activate the secret technique."
"How can I blame you?" Leng Tiefeng waved his hand and said with some regret, "So, Hirohito is not dead?"
"He must have been shot." Xiao Taohong whispered, "I saw through the scope that Hirohito fell to the ground, but it's hard to say whether he hit a vital point, but there is a high probability that he was seriously injured and survived."
Leng Tiefeng sighed softly and said, "This dog is very lucky."
After finishing speaking, Leng Tiefeng said again: "Sweet potato, you carry Lao Xu on your back, and we go to safe room No. 2. The moisture in the sewer is too heavy, which is not conducive to Lao Xu's recovery."
Safe Room No. 2 is on the surface. At that moment, Digua said in shock: "Safe Room No. 2?"
Xiao Taohong also said: "Captain, the little devils have dispatched a large number of military police. They are imposing comprehensive martial law on the entire Chiyoda District and conducting door-to-door searches. Isn't it not safe to go to the No. 2 safe room at this time?"
Leng Tiefeng said suddenly: "How can you care about Chiyoda District now?"
…
The little devil really no longer cares about Chiyoda District.
At this time, almost all the military and police in Tokyo have been mobilized to Shinjuku District. Not only the military and police, but even the Marine Corps from several nearby fortresses have also been mobilized. However, even so, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government responsible for on-site command
Governor Ishihara Inotaro still felt that the troops were insufficient. They were really insufficient.
A Guards Infantry Regiment, about 3,000 people, two Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department security brigades, plus more than 100 police units, about 3,000 people, and two marines from four fortresses.
Thousands of people, which adds up to almost 8,000 troops. With such a large number of troops, it is necessary to impose comprehensive martial law on a mere Shinjuku district. Under normal circumstances, there is absolutely no problem, but the problem is that this is not a normal situation!
Before nightfall, no one knew who leaked the news. Shinjuku City agencies, schools, citizens, and the garrison all suddenly knew that the Bacteriological Weapons Research Institute had been attacked, and that plague, anthrax, and cholera bacteria had been leaked. This news suddenly
The incident immediately triggered panic riots in Shinjuku and neighboring districts.
The Japanese people don’t know much about the anthrax bacteria, but they know about plague and cholera.
The plague is actually the Black Death that wiped out almost all of Europe in the Middle Ages. Cholera has wreaked havoc in East Asian countries several times in modern times. China, Japan, and North Korea have corresponding records. Every time it wreaks havoc, it will cause disease in the local area.
A large number of people died, sometimes even hundreds of miles of no man's land.
Therefore, as soon as they heard that the plague and cholera germs had been leaked, the people of Shinjuku immediately rushed to flee.
As you can imagine, the citizens of Shinjuku, who supported the elderly and the young, dragged their families and fled, ran into the army and police who implemented the blockade. At the beginning, the military and police tried to persuade the citizens, but the citizens did not want to
Listen, as time went by, the citizens became more and more agitated, and eventually the situation got completely out of control.
The panicked citizens first broke through the human wall of the military and police, and then began to attack the checkpoints.
After firing multiple warning shots in vain, the military police finally pointed their guns at the citizens. This triggered a hornet's nest. Bloodshed broke out in several streets. Citizens, students and even the military police in Shinjuku Ward were desperate for survival.
Under the control of the police, they all picked up various weapons and attacked the military and police blockade.
By now, the entire Shinjuku area has completely turned into a mess.
This is not the worst. What is even worse is that once the panic effect is formed, it will spread quickly outwards. With the rapid spread of the news that the bacterial weapons have been leaked, the panic soon spread from Shinjuku City to the entire Tokyo.
By noon of the next day, dozens of districts in Tokyo were in chaos.
In addition, almost all the police forces in Tokyo have been transferred to Shinjuku District, which has led to a serious shortage of police forces in the remaining districts and public places such as stations and docks. Then, with the arrival of panicked exodus,
Almost all Tokyo citizens rushed to the stations and piers crazily.
In an instant, more than a dozen stations and piers in Tokyo were all crowded.
Then, a vicious stampede inevitably occurred.
…
Prime Minister's Official Residence, Konoe Fumimaro's Office.
The secretary has come in several times to remind Konoe Fumimaro to have a meal, but how can Konoe Fumimaro still have the heart to eat? He feels like his head is getting bigger now. Before this, he had already been worried about the finances of the empire, which was on the verge of collapse.
As a dignified prime minister, he is doing the job of finance minister.
So much so that Finance Minister Koki Hirota joked to himself that he had become the Undersecretary of Finance.
Konoe Fumimaro has tried his best to save the increasingly depleted imperial finances, but now, there has been a vicious incident such as the leakage of bacterial weapons, causing the citizens of Tokyo to flee in panic! This is basically to use him.
The rhythm used by the Prime Minister when he is the governor of Tokyo.
Looking at the dark sky outside the window, and then at the crowds of people on the street, Konoe Fumimaro suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart. Then, a strong thought emerged from the bottom of Konoe Fumimaro's heart.
: Bagayalu, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet acts like a tinker, whoever wants to do it will do it, but I won’t do it anyway!
In fact, Konoe Fumimaro in this time and space has been working for several months longer than in another time and space.
In another time and space, or in the original history, the Konoe cabinet should have collectively resigned at the beginning of this year. However, the emergence of a time traveler like Xu Rui caused corresponding deviations in a series of historical events, which also indirectly led to the recent
Wei Wenming served as prime minister for five more months.
But now, Konoe Fumimaro finally couldn't hold on any longer.
To be honest, Konoe Fumimaro's current position is very embarrassing. First of all, the military bosses don't care about him. As the prime minister, Konoe Fumimaro's words can't affect any decisions of the military at all. After Tojo Hideki took control of the Army Ministry
, let alone take him as the Prime Minister seriously, and sometimes even don’t bother to make superficial remarks.
Then, the cabinet ministers didn't respect him very much either.
In the end, even Hirohito didn't trust him as much as he did at first.
Due to the accumulation of various factors, Konoe Fumimaro no longer wanted to work, and he did not resign just because of his face. But now, he finally couldn't hold on, and finally made the most irresponsible decision at such a most difficult time: Collective
Resign! I am not angry with this plywood. I no longer want to be a tinker. Who do you love?
