Following Liu Hai's order, the Nanyang Navy's ground detachment, which came with the Nanyang Navy, also took a landing craft and headed towards Tokyo Bay.
The Nanyang Navy behind the landing team was also on full alert, and would immediately start shelling as soon as it encountered resistance from the opponent.
Fortunately, Japan can be said to be very empty now. Their elites have been deployed on the Korean Peninsula, and the Japanese Guards Division guarding Tokyo also left Tokyo with the Emperor of Japan. There is no longer anything in Tokyo.
There was organized resistance.
After the Marines successfully landed on the shore of Tokyo, they immediately encountered resistance from Japanese workers on the Tokyo docks.
These people were armed with all kinds of tools, some were wrenches, some were shovels, and the better ones were holding Japanese swords. Like crazy, they shouted the emperor's slogan and rushed towards the Marines.
Liu Lu, as the commander of the Nanyang Navy and Marines appointed by Liu Hai, saw that he might be attacked, and immediately ordered the Marines to shoot first if they encountered any threat.
This time, all the shackles on the Marine Corps members were removed. The Japanese workers who attacked the Marine Corps had not even approached the Nanyang Marine Corps, but they were greeted by a sound like popping beans.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of these people fell down. These workers were just deceived by the foreman and thought that they could be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor with their own strength. The result was very cruel. These people fell down just after they met the Qing soldiers.
Blockbuster.
When the people behind saw the heavy casualties in front, they naturally didn't want to rush forward anymore, so they turned around and ran away, but they were too late to escape the firing range of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.
Soon, all the nearly 1,000 Japanese workers died on the dock.
The subsequent work of the Marines in supervising and taking over the dock went very smoothly, and the remaining people had some experience with the brutality of the Marines.
Moreover, Japanese people have a natural instinct to obey the strong. The more cruel you are to them, the more honest they will be to you. If you are nicer to them, they will think you are incompetent.
A round of shooting by the Marines completely broke down the psychological defenses of the Japanese, and the remaining people immediately became more honest.
Liu Lu immediately captured a few more honest Japanese people and brought them to him.
One of those people was well-dressed. He was kneeling in front of Liu San with a smile on his face, "Sir, the young one is Hengji Keiji. I am willing to serve you, sir."
"who are you?"
"The younger one is the manager of Tokyo Bay Terminal? He is responsible for the operation of Tokyo Bay."
Liu Lu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he didn't expect to catch the one in charge.
"Since you are a manager, do you have some status? Then let me ask you? Where is the Reserve Bank of Japan?"
After hearing Liu Lu's question, Henglu Keiji was a little surprised at first. Then he started to tremble in his heart. If he led these Qing people to the Reserve Bank, he might not be able to stay in Japan in the future.
However, when Yokoji Keiji squinted at the bayonet next to him, he quickly gave up the idea. Shouldn't he consider the life in front of him first? We'll talk about the future later.
So Henglu Keiji hurriedly knelt forward a few steps and said with a flattering face: "You know, I know? I am willing to lead you to the bank headquarters."
Liu Lu nodded with satisfaction, then stepped on his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, as long as you are loyal to our Lord Admiral, there will be great benefits in the future."
Although Yokoji Keiji didn't believe it in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he could only show Liu Lu with a face full of objects.
So under the leadership of Keiji Yokoji, Liu Lu took five to six hundred people from the Nanyang Fleet and rushed straight to the headquarters of the Reserve Bank of Japan.
However, after arriving at the location, what they saw was a pile of ruins. Seeing this situation, Liu Lu felt that things were a bit difficult to handle. It would be no small project to completely clean up the place.
When Henglu Keiji saw Liu Lu frowning, he understood Liu Lu's worry. He was desperately trying to show off for the sake of his own life, so he quickly trotted to Liu Lu's side.
"Sir, are you worried that the project is too big and will end up wasting time?"
Liu Lu turned around and glanced at the Japanese traitor. It seemed that this person still had some discernment, so he nodded slightly to see what he could do.
When Henglu Jing'er saw Liu Lu nodding, he immediately said: "This is easy to handle, sir. There are many untouchables in Japan in civilian areas. Why don't we lead troops to arrest some and let these untouchables work for us day and night."
After hearing this, Liu Lu thought it was a solution, "Very good. You are a good citizen. My lord will definitely not treat you badly in the future."
After Liu Yu praised Henglu Keiji, he immediately ordered a company commander to follow Henglu Keiji to arrest the person.
Henglu Jingji realized that he had no way out now, so he became even more fierce than these Qing people.
Under the leadership of Keiji Hengji, they soon arrived at the factory area, where a group of workers were cleaning up the ruins of the factory.
When Henglu Jiner came pointing, the workers immediately stopped what they were doing, and each of them held tools and stared angrily at Henglu Jiner and the Marines.
As for Henglu Keiji, it was as if he couldn't see the disgusted expressions of these workers. He walked up to these workers in a grand manner, and then said in a domineering manner: "Listen, the Qing Dynasty needs some workers, and all of you have been requisitioned."
After hearing this, the workers were in an uproar. Seeing the commotion of the workers, the company commander at the back immediately waved his hand. His soldiers immediately picked up the Type 56 semi-automatic rifles in their hands, aiming at the black muzzle.
of these workers.
When Henglu Keiji saw it, the soldiers behind him took action and immediately became even more arrogant.
"Did you see it? Master of the Qing army, there is a limit to your patience. If you don't obey the command, then kill all of you untouchables and find someone else."
After Henglu Keiji said these words, these workers also started to commotion. Although they hated Henglu Keiji, a traitor, but compared with their own lives, what is a little dignity?
So these people immediately became quiet one by one. Henglu Keiji nodded with satisfaction, and then asked these people to find a rope and let them tie their feet together to prevent these people from escaping halfway.
So Keiji Yokoji led a company and wandered around Tokyo Bay for an hour or two, and they actually captured more than 2,000 Japanese.
It was not that they encountered resistance during this period, but these unarmed civilians were quickly suppressed by the Marines equipped with Type 56 semi-automatic rifles.
When the captured Japanese saw the Marines being so brutal, any resistance they felt in their hearts immediately disappeared without a trace.
Liu Lu stood at the entrance of the Reserve Bank of Japan headquarters. He only waited for more than an hour when he saw Keiji Yokoji, grabbing rows of Japanese people and rushing towards them with various tools.
When Henglu Jing'er saw that Liu Lu was still waiting at the entrance of the Reserve Bank's headquarters, he immediately trotted up to Liu Lu and imitated the people of the Qing Dynasty who gave him a thousand, "Little Heng Lu Jin'er, please give my regards to the official."
"Boy, you learn pretty quickly, don't you?"
"Thank you, sir, for the compliment."
"Okay, don't say these useless things. Now that you have captured this person, let's start work immediately."
After receiving Liu Lu's instructions, Henglu Keiji immediately went to work.
Not to mention that these Japanese people are very serious about their work. Under the surveillance of guns all around, these people work very quickly.
By nightfall, a large hole had been dug in the Reserve Bank headquarters, leading directly to the underground vault.
But by this time, these people could no longer dig in. It turned out that the outer perimeter of the vault was made of reinforced concrete structures, with a thickness of one meter. These people held shovels, which had no effect on these strong fortresses.
.
Liu Lu personally went down to the tunnel to take a look, and then said to the adjutant on the side: "Since we can't dig it out, we'll use explosives."
After Liu Lu gave the order, soldiers immediately delivered a batch of TNT explosives.
These are not the black powder commonly used in contemporary times. The explosion of 1 kilogram of TNT releases approximately 4.2 million joules of energy, which is enough to destroy a 5 to 6 meter concrete house.
Therefore, after 10 kilograms of TNT explosives were placed on the concrete wall of the vault, a large hole was immediately blown out of the strong reinforced concrete wall of the vault with the explosion.
Liu Lu personally led people to break into Japan's strongest and largest underground vault. As a result, it was filled with gold, silver and cash from various countries.
And Henglu Keiji, who followed Liu Lu into the underground vault, his eyes were already red, staring at the falling gold bricks on the ground, and could no longer leave them.
Liu Lu hurriedly ordered someone to go to the fleet to inform Liu Hai, telling him that the Reserve Bank had been blown up and asking for instructions on what to do next.
After Liu Hai got the news, he immediately came to the Reserve Bank of Japan, escorted by thousands of people. When he came to the Reserve Bank's vault in person, he was also shocked.
In Liu Hai's mind, Japan was already at the end of its rope for the war. He didn't expect that there was such a large amount of gold stored in the central bank's vault.
In fact, Liu Hai didn't know that Japan's finances had indeed been exhausted, but those capitalists were very rich. Naturally, they would not feel at ease keeping so much gold at home, so they put it in the vault of the Reserve Bank of Japan, which they considered the safest.
As a result, once Liu Hai came, all these gold and silver treasures belonged to Liu Hai.
After Liu Hai admired his trophies, he immediately ordered people to start packing them, asking them to transport all the treasures to his ship before dawn.
Liu Hai then commended Liu Lu and asked him to continue his efforts and immediately go to the Japanese Imperial Palace and the Japanese treasury to collect all their treasures.
