"Mr. Li Wei, don't you go to the Magic City with us?"
At the port, the ship entered, and the steam engine roared. This was a ship that was about to sail into the Magic City. The people on board were all foreigners in gorgeous and expensive clothes.
At this time, Shoemaker Sun looked at Li Wei and said.
"No, I can't go anymore. Besides, it won't do anything if I go." Levi lowered the felt hat in his hand and said.
"Well, Mr. Levi, see you later."
"goodbye."
As the giant ship slowly sailed westward, Levi also ended this episode.
The shoemaker's child will go to Bald Eagle to study abroad when he grows up, and then learn the relatively advanced republican concepts there. After a series of further studies, he will understand that studying medicine cannot save the people, and then hand over the rest of his life to
republic.
Even if he failed, he was indeed the first light in the darkness.
But this is something that will happen later. Li Wei, who can only stay here for thirty days in total, can only do this.
The giant ship roared, and the breaking waves formed layers of white floats. Countless fishing boats also swayed because of the white floats they brought up.
Li Wei looked at the freighter heading to the Magic City and sighed.
However, when he turned back, a group of Shinsengumi people came behind him. Each of them had a sword tied to their right waist and a pistol on their left waist. Some of them even carried rifles on their backs. They were like guards.
, seemed to be waiting for Li Wei's farewell.
"Mr. Levi, I am General Secretary Okita, Deputy Chief Hijikata. I want to see you." The leader, the beautiful young samurai with the head of Tsukiyo, said.
"Soji Okita..." Li Wei couldn't help but sigh after hearing this name.
If there is a person in the Bakumatsu who is more famous than Kawagami Hikosai, it is undoubtedly the young samurai in front of him. It can even be said that Okita Souji is the most famous figure in the Bakumatsu, and he is uniquely famous.
"Shinsengumi, do you have any business to discuss with me?" Li Wei responded calmly.
"No, it's not a business deal, it's just that Deputy Chief Hijikata wants to ask you something."
The Shinsengumi were very polite, and did not show any samurai arrogance or anger. Instead, they talked to Levi as if they were inviting some big shot.
"Is it about the murder incident at the foreign pavilion? Then I'm also interested in talking to your deputy chief of Hijikata." Levi said calmly.
"Then let's invite Mr. Levi." The Shinsengumi samurai all bowed their heads slightly. This is a very common etiquette among samurai.
When Li Wei walked up, the people from the Shinsengumi gave him a lot of face, and Li Wei didn't mind selling them a little face.
…
Kawakami Hikosai knew that he had messed up again.
At this time, he had to focus on his mission, but he couldn't control his murderous intention when he saw the Bald Eagle man raping a civilian girl in public.
But now, he has to deal with funeral arrangements.
Because it was a public killing, and the person who died was a foreigner, and because someone was shouting directly, there was a reaction from other people in an instant.
The Shinsengumi people arrived as quickly as possible, and Kawakami Hikosai also left with the little boy and the woman.
After running in a panic all the way outside the city, Heshang Yanzhai took them to a shabby hut and said: "It's safe here, and there will be no foreigners here."
He said this, then picked up the sword and prepared to leave.
"Master Samurai, teach me martial arts! I want to have martial arts to protect everything!" The little boy fell to his knees with a plop and kowtowed to Kawagami Hikosai.
"I'm not a samurai." Kawagami Hikosai said, putting down his hat and preparing to leave, but he still turned around slightly, "Besides, times have changed. It's better to learn foreign guns than to learn martial arts."
He pushed open the dilapidated door and could only go so far. Perhaps what he did was not a good thing for the siblings. On the contrary, being related to him would bring greater disaster to them.
"Sir Samurai, thank you." At this time, the woman also knelt down and said.
In fact, they had met once before. Just in the morning, he bumped into this woman when he went to buy steamed buns.
"Sir Samurai, thank you for your help, we will remember it in our hearts." She buried her head on the ground and saluted.
"When foreigners die, you also bear human lives. This may not be a good thing for you in the future." Kawagami Hikosai said aloud.
"If it weren't for you, we might not have a future. My daughter's name is Ba, and my brother's name is Yuan. If we have the chance to meet again in the future, I will definitely reciprocate." She said and bowed again.
"Then, goodbye." Kawagami Yanzhai closed the door, his bamboo hat tightly covering his face.
He looked in the direction of Luye Castle and then in the direction of Ikedaya.
He knew that even if he went back to find Levi now, his mission had already failed, and when he returned to Ikedaya and failed his mission twice in a row, could he still pretend that nothing happened and go back to find Mr. Gui...
After thinking for a long time, he decided to return to Luye City. This time, he would definitely complete the Heavenly Execution Order.
Kill Mr. Levi...
…
Levi came to the Shinsengumi's office. It seemed to be the residence of a certain nobleman, but maybe the nobleman died and the mansion was taken over. Now it has become the headquarters of the Shinsengumi in the Choshu Domain.
He met the legendary Shinsengumi deputy commander, Hijikata Toshizo.
"Mr. Levi, I'm really sorry. There are some things that I need to talk to you about. I also hope that you can answer truthfully." Hijikata Toshizo also said directly and raised his hand slightly.
The people below also understood what he meant, and started to make two cups of tea and handed them to the table.
"Please." He stretched out his hand slightly and took a sip of tea himself.
"Is there anything you need to talk about?" Li Wei also picked up the tea and took a sip.
"Can you tell me about the assassin you brought into the foreign pavilion? Maybe you don't know his true identity, but who is his false identity in your place?" Toshizo Hijikata asked directly.
"Heshang Yanzhai, you should be very familiar with the people of the Expulsion Sect." Li Wei answered directly. He did not try to hide anything.
"Huh?" This shocked Hijikata Toshizo and all the Shinsengumi people present. They either thought that Li Wei didn't know about it, or thought that Li Wei would be connected with the anti-barbarian faction.
But I never expected that Li Wei would stop pretending and show off his cards.
The originally prepared series of questions froze in an instant and became useless. Many warriors also began to look fiercely and put their hands on the swords at their waists.
"Mr. Levi, you are really sincere. Can we know the truth behind this?" Toshizo Hijikata said politely on the surface, but in fact there was a coldness in his eyes.
He obviously already wanted to take action.
"There is no real truth. It was just the second meeting. I saw a child wanting to enter the foreign pavilion to see the world, so I took him in. That's it." Levi said very calmly.
"Then did you know that he killed three people in the foreign pavilion? In addition to the wandering girl, the priests and Milan businessmen he killed were all important people. You also just concluded a business deal with the Milan businessman."
"So what? Of these, well, that wandering girl is the most innocent one." Levi said.
"Qiang!"
The sound of drawing a sword was heard instantly, and an ordinary samurai from the Shinsengumi was ready to draw his sword and point it at Levi.
"Jushiro, don't be violent in front of the guests." Toshizo Hijikata warned the samurai who drew his sword, but his tone and expression did not mean any reproach.
But Li Wei didn't care. He didn't care about the temperament and habits of these warriors. Many times they were like barking dogs. They didn't want to use force, they just wanted to show their strength.
.
However, a biting dog does not bark.
"Actually, it doesn't matter. The Kansai region on your side is just a small fight. The real battlefield is in Edo, with the emperor and the general. Whether your side wins the victory of the Samu faction or the victory of the anti-barbarian faction, the outcome will not change in any way.
"Yes." Levi said.
"What do you mean! Are you looking down on us?" The samurai named Jushiro once again pulled out the sword he had just withdrawn and pointed it at Levi, his tone very angry.
"No, no, no, I'm not targeting you." Li Wei stood up and glanced around, "I just said, both the Samu faction and the Expelling Yi faction are all happy."
"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."
More sounds of swords being drawn were heard, and the warriors glared angrily at Levi, as if they would all rush forward and chop Levi into pieces as soon as Hijikata Toizo gave the order.
"Your Excellency, we are discussing things very formally." Hijikata Toshizo returned.
"I know, but you are destined to fail. This is caused by the tide of the times. You who are loyal to the shogunate will never imagine that the shogunate was the first to surrender. While you were still preparing to fight to the death, the shogunate was already carrying the bucket.
He ran away." Li Wei drank all the tea and patted the tea cup on the table.
I mean, serve tea.
The samurai below was even more angry, but under the hint in Hijikata Touzan's eyes, he still filled up the tea in front of Levi.
"I understand. Is this what you foreigners think of us? Maybe to you, we are really just like a joke. Even foreigners don't think highly of the shogunate..." Hijikata Sui
San murmured, as if he got more information from Li Wei's words.
"No, in fact, foreigners still like the shogunate very much, but your general is too cowardly. He surrendered himself before the foreigners had a chance to intervene. To be honest, I suggest you rush into Edo yourself and come to Qingjun's side.
, going to the capital to serve the king, and then kidnapping the emperor to order the waste of the barbarians, isn't it better than your slow death like this?" Li Wei said directly.
"What are you talking about! We have a well-earned sense of loyalty and righteousness, and you are insulting our righteousness like this?" The warrior below immediately yelled.
"Then just drown yourself in your own righteousness. For the emperor, being controlled by the anti-barbarian waste may be better than being controlled by you. After all, they are just puppets, and you are still from the samurai class after all. At least you understand the rules. Besides, the anti-barbarian waste,
You will become the public enemy of the world in the future, and you will be rewarded with several mushroom bombs by the bald eagle, and napalm bombs that will burn down the entire Edo."
Levi revealed the future without hesitation.
From Li Wei's point of view, for Fuso in this era, the Anti-Barbarian faction is a piece of hazardous waste that cannot be recycled. In the future, Fungalism and Legalism will be the cauldron of this group of anti-Barbarian waste, causing external aggression and internal oppression.
Moreover, until the era of Li Wei's previous life, the descendants of the group of anti-barbarian wastes always controlled all public opinions in Fusang, denied history, and initiated historical nihilism.
The shogunate faction, on the other hand, is recyclable garbage. They are a bunch of feudal remnants who still adhere to bushido. They only want to be loyal to the shogunate and the emperor, but at least they follow the rules.
The truly best faction in the entire Fuso was the one established by the Fuso people who returned from studying in Moscow fifty years later. The group of Internachonnar were the real friends and the ones who could truly change everything.
It's a pity that at that time, the anti-barbarian wastes had brainwashed the whole country to the extreme, to the extent that if they didn't praise the reform government hard enough, they would be dragged out and beaten to death.
Even if they joined the International Brigade, they could not affect the overall situation. After the defeat, they were finally able to stand up, gain the right to speak, and start the Red Tide. However, they were completely strangled to death by the Six-Star Emperor MacArthur.
"What are you talking about? Mushroom bombs? Napalm bombs?"
"Then just watch carefully." Li Wei closed his eyes, and the moment he opened his eyes, the word "roy" appeared in his pupils.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, everyone in the Shinsengumi present fell into an illusion.
The illusion that Levi gave them was exactly the illusion that he once knew as the pilot of the Yorktown.
On AF Island, the aircraft carrier was completely annihilated, followed by a complete defeat in the Battle of Coral Island, followed by round after round of bombings on the mainland, where tens of millions of people were turned into ashes.
And the last thing that ended was the three mushroom bombs thrown into the sky.
One is named Little Boy, one is named Fat Man, and the last mushroom bomb is named Watcher.
This is the history that Levi saw in the Cold War world. I don’t know what direction this world will take, but let’s just regard it as the future here.
In the real world, only a moment passed. But in the illusion, they experienced those years of bombing, and finally, the mushroom cloud that ignited over the city like the sun.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
All the swords fell to the ground.
Li Wei looked over and found that every warrior had tears streaming down his face and was completely speechless.
Some people kept hammering on the walls or floors, and some even got excited and began to pull out their own ribs, preparing to commit suicide.
Levi didn't care about the reaction of this group of people anymore. He pressed his felt hat and prepared to leave.
"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door, and then a strong white man pushed the door open.
He has a mustache on his face, a gentleman's hat, a formal dress, and a gentleman's staff in his hand. You can tell at a glance that he is a Korean.
"Your Excellency Hijikata, our Joestar family has negotiated with your superiors to release Mr. Levi on bail. You..." George Joestar just opened the door, but what he saw was kneeling on his knees.
