Although the appearance of a butterfly caused a storm in time and space and limitedly changed the course of World War II, its power was still too insignificant in the face of the wheel of history.
In Shanghai, in a small building called Plum Blossom Hall, three Japanese people were sitting on a tatami, discussing something in a low voice. Suddenly, a middle-aged man about fifty years old, wearing a kimono and glasses, fiercely He slapped the tatami with his palm and said angrily: "Ba Ge, the Chinese people are becoming more and more arrogant. Now, some gangsters in Shanghai have begun to violate us. In the long run, the prestige of our Mei agency will be completely lost. In that case, how can we carry out our work? I decided to take advantage of Yagyu Gonsai's coming to Shanghai to hold a martial arts competition to clean up the Shanghai Chinese spy organization." After saying that, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the other two suits. Japanese in leather shoes,
Compared with the murderous look on the Japanese man's face in kimono, the expressions on the faces of the two Japanese men in suits and ties were much softer. One of them said: "Your Excellency Kagezu, as a subject of the empire, we, the Yagyu family, naturally have an obligation to Don't worry, I will do Yagyu-kun's work. As long as he still wants to exchange so-called martial arts with the Chinese people, then there is great hope for this matter. I only have one condition, that is, no matter what Whatever means you take, you must ensure that Yagyu-kun maintains a complete victory in this martial arts tournament."
As soon as he finished speaking, another man in a suit smiled and shook his head and said: "Okada-kun, you seem to have no confidence in Yagyu Gonsai. Yagyu is the direct descendant of the strongest swordsman in our empire, Yagyu Shininryu. Why, you Do you think we, the strongest samurai in Japan, can't defeat a bunch of sick men of East Asia?"
"Of course I am confident, but China has too many people. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be one or two Huo Yuanjia-like figures among them. Don't forget how the strongest warriors in our country defeated the Huo family in Tianjin at that time. Yes, always, the reputation of Yagyu Shininryu must not be tarnished, and this is the prerequisite for my agreement to cooperate."
The middle-aged Japanese in his fifties wearing a kimono is none other than the head of the notorious Ume Agency, Kage Sasakiaki, and the man named Okada Masaru is the royal lawyer of the Yagyu Shininryu in Japan. The current head of Yinliu, Yagyu Gonsai, is the main person in charge of the competition in China. As for the other person, he is the president of the Shanghai branch of the Black Dragon Society, named Yoshikawa Sugibin.
Okada and Yoshikawa came to Plum Blossom Hall together, originally to ask for help from Yagyu's martial arts competition. However, during this period, Kagezu was being humiliated by the Shanghai branch of the Cadet Army Fox Eyes. He was thinking about it all the time. To regain the situation on the special station line, so there were those words and deeds at the beginning,
Japan has achieved successive victories in the use of troops against China, and the Japanese people's national pride has been at an all-time high. Therefore, various Japanese people began to go to Shanghai and other large and medium-sized cities in China to seek victory on other levels so as to respond to the government and military state. The propaganda of the sect on race: Yamato nation is the most superior race in the world.
As a martial arts fanatic, Yagyu Gonsai didn't pay much attention to things other than martial arts, so he was used as a pawn by Okada Masaru with ulterior motives. This led to Yagyu Shininryu's "China Martial Arts Tour".
After Ding Yi brought some of the Langya elites to Shanghai to take charge of the counterfeit currency work, they have frequently made big moves recently. They released a large number of counterfeit Japanese military notes on the black market, which caused a great loss in the credit of Japanese military notes and also caused the Mei agency to use the military notes to go to other places. The method of obtaining huge profits through price difference began to fail, which naturally aroused Ying Zuo's embarrassment. During this period, he had been busy cracking down on the counterfeit military ticket group, but he had achieved little. Therefore, Okada asked him to help organize the operation. When it came to the martial arts tournament, he had an idea and thought that this was a good opportunity to wipe out all the underground forces in Shanghai, so he made the harsh words from above.
Since the Revolution of 1911, Shanghai has been one of the most chaotic cities in China. Now, due to the Japanese occupation, Shanghai has actually become a city of all nations (World War II has not officially started yet, and Britain, France and other countries and Japan have not yet broken their skin. , so their concession rights in Shanghai were retained). Shanghai at that time was actually composed of two parts. One part was relatively bright in the sun, and the other side was filled with all kinds of shady people and forces. These people and forces were entangled because of their different positions, turning the whole of Shanghai into a big dye vat.
During this period, Yingzuo frequently attacked with the elite agents of Ttech and the military police provided by the Shanghai occupation force, but achieved little. At first, he thought of using the underground forces in Shanghai. However, although the Japanese were the occupying force, You can act recklessly in some places, but this set of tactics has no deterrent effect on the people who are trying to make a living on the edge of the knife. From this, he came to the conclusion that he really wanted to remove Xuebingjun Hutong and Juntong, and Zhongtong's China agents from If Shanghai is to be eradicated, the underground forces in Shanghai must first be eliminated, and the arrival of Yagyu Gonsai just gave him this opportunity.
No matter how good Yagyu Gonsai's martial arts skills are, as long as he can successfully arouse the Chinese people's desire to challenge, then he can use various means to eliminate those so-called martial arts people one by one. These people must be Shanghai's underground forces As long as these people are eradicated as the backbone of the army, the remaining minions will be much easier to deal with. In fact, if the method is used properly, they will become loyal dogs of the imperial army.
He originally wanted to use this to deal with the so-called Jianghu people, so he naturally agreed to Okada's request. He patted the tatami again and said to Okada cheerfully: "Okada-kun, please don't worry. In Shanghai, no one can challenge Mr. Yagyu’s swordsmanship, huh, my past few years in Shanghai are not in vain."
"Then it's settled." Okada got what he hoped for. He stood up and bowed solemnly to Yingzuo to thank him.
Ying Zuo nodded, indicating that it was nothing, then looked at Yoshikawa and said: "Yoshikawa-kun, the next step depends on our intensive cooperation."
As the president of the Shanghai branch of the Black Dragon Club, Yoshikawa will be specifically responsible for the operation of the tournament. He nodded and said: "The Black Dragon Club will only follow your lead. We will definitely comply with your orders."
Ying Zuo gritted his teeth cruelly, clenched his right fist, and said: "Then, let the martial arts competition be held on Sunday. In these days, I will let the Chinese people under my command do their best to publicize this matter, so that the Chinese people will lose face. , as long as we do it right, there will be a large number of so-called martial arts people who are willing to participate in this event, hum, Fox Thirteen, I hope you will not disappoint me this time."
Who is Fox Thirteen? Why does he make Ying Zuo hate him so much?
This has to start with an incident that happened in March this year.
At that time, Xuebingjun's counterfeit currency plan had just begun to be planned.
