Chapter 0623: Japan's behind-the-scenes mastermind, Xu Fu
Liu Shiba returned to the captain's room alone.
There were several people sitting in the spacious captain's room, including Baofeng No. 3, Zheng Weida, Ning Haidong, Luo Gang, and Yamamoto Ryugi.
According to his duties, Zheng Weida should sit in the command position on the podium.
However, what surprised Liu Shiba was that the person sitting there was neither Zheng Weida nor No. 3, but Luo Gang, who had become an orphan.
Luo Gang, whose real name is Zhou Facai, was 20 years old three years ago. He lived at No. 88, Weidong Road, Xuchang, and was a well-known second-generation rich man in the local area.
His father is Zhou Shida, the owner of Dingfeng Jewelry and Antiques Store, his sister Zhou Miaomiao, and his grandfather Zhou Zhenhai.
On the eve of Liu Shiba and Cao Xiong leaving Xuchang for Kyoto, the Zhou family was wiped out by the Japanese...
Three years later, Zhou Facai, who followed Liu Shiba and others, changed his name, and his eldest brother Luo Zhan, who changed his name after him, also unfortunately died in the battle.
Today's Luo Gang is no longer the playboy he was three years ago.
Today's Luo Gang is proficient in Luo Zhan's special tactics, has learned Tian Mingjian's Double Dragon Going to Sea, and even has some fantastic ideas about wooden fishing boats.
Luo Gang further learned Zhu Yingtai's tricky sword skills and Liang Shanbo's superb deception skills, and even broke through the second-level martial arts under Cao Xiong's guidance.
And all the people who taught him died, only Cao Xiong, Cuihua, and Li Ergou survived.
The original target of the Japanese to destroy the family was just the golden order passed down by Liu Shiba.
And the culprit who caused all this is now standing in the captain's cabin, Yamamoto Yagiyoshi.
Liu Shiba slowly walked up to No. 3 and Zheng Weida and said strangely:
"How come it's Luo Gang who's piloting the battleship?"
Then Liu Shiba turned to look at No. 3 and asked:
"Isn't the navigation target automatically set? Why do we still need to drive manually?"
Zheng Weida and No. 3 looked at it at the same time. No. 3 gave Liu Shiba a charming look and ignored him.
"The underground terrain is complex. Although automatic navigation is relatively easy, you will inevitably encounter rock layers when moving forward.
Baofeng now has insufficient energy and can only maintain forward momentum, so it will be faster to switch to manual driving."
Zheng Weida explained.
At this time, Ning Haidong heard Liu Shiba talking, walked over quickly, and said anxiously:
"What should we do now? We just briefly contacted my grandfather's army of guards.
The situation on the ground is very bad, the two armies have suffered heavy losses, and the thirty-six countries are slowly arranging their troops to occupy strategic places in the countries outside China."
Liu Shiba glanced at Ning Haidong and said with a sullen face:
"How are you, father-in-law?"
Ning Haidong paused when he heard the words, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he said extremely calmly:
"It is natural for a soldier to die in battle. My father's body has been found. It was blown to pieces and has been transported back to Kyoto for my mother to arrange the funeral."
Liu Shiba nodded and said softly:
"How's Miner doing?"
"It's okay, Aunt Cuihua and Feng Qingwu are with us."
Ning Haidong responded.
"Ning Jun is a true soldier, and I deeply admire him."
Yamamoto Liuyi bowed deeply to Ning Haidong.
"snort!"
Ning Haidong kowtowed coldly in return and ignored Yamamoto.
When Liu Shiba heard the sound and looked over, a surge of anger suddenly arose in his heart. He stepped over and grabbed the collar of General Yamamoto Liu Yi's uniform and said sternly:
“How many Chinese people did you kill during World War II decades ago?
In the end, the war ended, and our first generation of founding leaders of China did not care about the crimes committed by Japan.
On the contrary, seeing that both countries are in the same hardship, you have also been attacked by American nuclear bombs, and countless people in the country have been plunged into dire straits, but you have been exempted from your sky-high war compensation."
Having said this, Liu Shiba then roared:
"Have you not fought enough? You Japanese people, what else do you want? Do you want territory?
A country’s territory is a symbol of dignity and cannot be ceded in modern times. Don’t you understand?
In Chinese history, there has never been any record of invading other countries, so why are you worried?"
Liu Shiba's words made Yamamoto Yugi look livid.
If it hadn't been for this old guy, Liu Yi, Liu Er, and Cao Xiong were finally ready to die together with Mao, Liu Shiba would have wished to kill him with a stick right now.
At this time, Luo Gang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, also came over and stood quietly in front of Yamamoto Liu Yi, with a ferocious look in his eyes and gritted his teeth and whispered softly:
"I was originally a young man from a wealthy family in a small city. I had no worries about food and clothing, and enjoyed the care of my grandfather, parents and sister.
But one day, everything changed. They all died overnight and were wiped out by the people you sent.
Now I am alone and have no relatives, do you think my Zhou family has offended you?"
Yamamoto Liuyi raised his head, looked at Luo Gang, and said doubtfully:
"Who are you?"
"Xuchang Zhou family, Dingfeng jewelry store, massacre, do you remember?"
Luo Gang sneered and squeezed his hands tightly.
Yamamoto Ryugi's eyes lit up when he heard this, he hesitated, and finally whispered:
"Speaking of which, I, Yamamoto, am indeed the disciple of Master Liu Yi, and I have indeed done many things for my country.
But if you were in my shoes and position, what would you do? I am a soldier, and this General Ning is also a soldier. What would you do if it were you?"
Having said this, Yamamoto Liuyi looked up at Ning Haidong and asked.
Ning Haidong heard this and sneered:
"The duty of a soldier is to obey. I will not kill innocent people."
Yamamoto Ryugi smiled lightly and said:
"Over the years, have you seen me, Yamamoto, kill innocent people?
Yes, a soldier's bounden duty is to obey! So if someone with a higher position above me gives me an order to destroy the Zhou family and Liujiatun, what do you think I should do?"
Then, Yamamoto Liuyi looked at Liu Shiba and said with a sarcastic smile:
"Your father, Liu Er, actually disguised himself and lurked around me for twenty years, and I didn't even notice.
The order to destroy the Zhou family and the order to attack Liujiatun was issued that day. It was correct that I gave the order indirectly.
But it was Ito Shengjing who personally went to deliver the message to the combat troops, Liu Jun, do you know who he is?"
Liu Shiba was stunned when he heard this and said:
"Father Liu Er? How is it possible? How could he issue such an order?"
"You should ask me why I gave such an order to your father."
Yamamoto Liuyi thought about it for a long time and suddenly asked.
"Why?"
Ning Haidong asked.
"Because I didn't even say anything, there are countless ninjas lurking in my villa.
The order given to me came from His Majesty the Emperor of Japan. How can I refuse? And your father, he can't refuse either..."
Yamamoto Ryugi explained softly.
"Nonsense, I heard that the modern emperor of Japan, and even the Japanese royal family, have long withdrawn from the state power structure, and the current prime minister and cabinet are in control of Japan."
Liu****** said angrily.
"Everything is superficial. The royal family maintains the image of being close to Aiming.
But secretly, in the royal family, there is a person who is so powerful that I cannot resist, manipulating everything behind the scenes.
Not just in modern times, or decades ago, or the Sino-Japanese War of 1898, or even the further Antu Momoyama era, Toyotomi Hideyoshi era..."
Yanagi Yamamoto solemnly told the inside story.
Royalty?
It is said that the Japanese royal family is extremely strict about the purity of blood. If a suitable princess cannot be found, the younger sister and older brother can even have intercourse and produce offspring to continue the royal family's orthodoxy.
Liu Shiba showed a look of horror on his face and asked solemnly:
"You mean among the royal family?"
Yamamoto Ryugi said solemnly:
"His Majesty, the first emperor of Japan, Emperor Jimmu..."
"Xu Fu? Is this guy still alive?"
At this time, an exclamation came from the door of the command cabin, and the speaker was a six-eared macaque.
