    Last time, it was said that Yoshiko was fighting with the masked attacker in the room and was stabbed in the shoulder. Fortunately, only the flesh was injured.  She didn't see the masked attacker clearly.  After bandaging the wound, she felt something strange in her heart. Uneasy, she went to the next room.  Outside the door, the captured Japanese man could only be heard saying loudly: "I will never give out any information. I will kill or behead you at will. I, Asakusa Ichiro, swear to be loyal to the emperor to the death!" Yoshiko was shocked after hearing this: "Ichiro?!"

    Yoshiko took a closer look through the crack in the door, ah!  Except for the masked black scarf, the attacker's appearance and figure look like his younger brother.  She suddenly collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face, and the thin figures of her younger brother Ichiro and younger sister Keiko swayed in front of her eyes.  She calmed down for a long time, then pushed the door open and asked Asakusa Ichiro: "Looking at the accent, are you from Osaka?" Ichiro nodded.  "Is your father's name Asakusa Kenji, and does your family live at No. 280 Himeji Street, Miyako-ku?" Yoshiko asked urgently.  Ichiro opened his eyes in surprise: "Yeshow do you know?!" Yoshiko trembled: "Ichiro, Ichiro! Look carefully, II am your sister Yuko Asakusa!" In excitement, the wound  He burst out and fainted all of a sudden.  Wan Jiakui was stunned at the side: "How could it be like this!" He untied Ichiro's restraints and said to him: "Hurry up and recognize it carefully!" Ichiro Asakusa shook his head vigorously, and when Dingqing came closer, he saw that he  He saw the red mole between Yoshiko's eyebrows that was revealed due to excitement.  She yelled, "Oh my god, she is really my sister Yuko!" Then she hugged Yuko and started crying.  Ichiro stroked the blood seeping out of his sister's shoulder, which was where he stabbed her just now!  He was about to reach out and hit his head, but Wan Jiakui grabbed him and said to him: "Bastard boy, your sister searched for you thousands of times before she found you, but you are seeking death and forcing your sister to death."  Yeah!¡±  , my little sister Guizi is only 7 years old. My mother passed away early. It was me who held one of your hands and sent you to school every day. My sister was deceived and it took more than 20 years to come back. I can¡¯t forgive you.  . Sister is back. I have been searching for you on the island for the past few years, but you are always missing in the vast sea of ??people. My heart aches and panics. Where is little sister Keiko now?" Ichiro cried: "My father died of illness.  After that, I took my younger sister to pick up rags on the street to make a living. One day, my younger sister was arrested and taken to the palace. I was also drafted into the army. My younger sister was never heard from again I went to Manchuria with the army.  I fought in Korea and Korea. Later I became a captain. A few years ago, the troops were transferred to the Philippines. During the Philippine War, 160 of my 180-man squadron were killed, and the division organization was also abolished. Since I was in the army  I became an Aikido master in middle school and learned Kashima Koshin-ryu swordsmanship, and my Kung Fu reached 7th Dan. After I returned to the island, the military transferred me to the Armed Operations Department of the 239th Division Special High School Course, and I was promoted from captain to captain.  Major. The division commander, Lieutenant General Yukaku Watanabe, was unwilling to move south and wanted to establish a base in his hometown of Iwate Prefecture. Taking advantage of the lack of security at Morigaoka, he decided to occupy it. I was ordered to lead an advance team in plainclothes under the control of the Black Dragon Association.  I attacked the police station under the guise, and after being exposed, I made an emergency retreat, but was surrounded. I thought that the advance team was almost wiped out, so I came back to kill a high-ranking official to support me, so that I could go back to work. I never expected that I would be stabbed.  What a sin it is that you turned out to be your own sister! Sister, I have been looking for you all these years. When did you learn martial arts? Why are you here?"

    While Fangzi and Ichiro were talking, Yi Zhuomao came in and said: "Report to Team Leader Luo that none of the gangsters in the attack escaped the net, 230 people were killed and 45 were injured." He added: "Captives 25 26 people, including these  We have 121 casualties." Fangzi said: "I know, let's go down." Just after Yi Zhuomao left, Wu Erbin hurried over. When he saw that Fangzi was injured, he was furious and took out his golden pistol and said  "Sister, who dares to hurt you? I'll kill him if I don't do it myself!" Someone on the side said: "Young man, please see Your Majesty the Consort!" Wu Erbin turned around and said, "How do you know me? Who are you?" Then  Humanity said: "Ichiro Asakusa, a young citizen, I saw you on the documentary of His Highness's wedding. I stabbed my sister. I feel extremely guilty. Please die!" Wu Erbin was stunned and asked Fangzi: "Who is he? Why is he called  Your sister? Why did I stab you again?!" Yoshiko endured the pain and said with a smile: "He is my brother Ichiro, I have found him! I was not seriously injured, our brother and sister were playing house just now."  After hearing this, Wu Erbin chuckled and said: "Sister, congratulations on finding your brother!" He then turned around and slapped Asakusa Ichiro in the ear, and said hatefully: "You know, she is my boss and my sister.  We hold it in our hands on weekdays. Youis this how you play house with your sister!"

    Ichiro Asakusa stood at attention and accepted the slap. He did not dare to reach out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and said: "Your Highness, you are right to punish me. I am willing to accept it! I wonder why Your Highness is here? Why is my sister your Highness?"  Boss?" Yoshiko said distressedly: "Erbin, Ichiro has already realized his mistake. He is two years older than you, yet you still call him brother." Wu Erbin snorted: "Sister, he hurt you, I?Would you like to call him brother that's fine.  It's hard for you to meet each other after so many years apart, but he is already a key staff member there. I have to teach him a lesson!  He said bitterly to Asakusa Ichiro: "My brother, listen: your sister is also my sister, and she is my immediate boss. You dare to hurt her. It is simply treason!"  It's a capital crime!  You led people to attack the Morioka Police Station and narrowly injured our consort, His Highness Chitose. It is also a capital crime!  "Ichiro was frightened and just responded with a "hey hey". Wu Erbin said: "I have already made half of my words clear to you, so I might as well make it all clear now. Your sister is the director of the China Work Safety Supervision Bureau, General Luo Danxue, quite a bit.  As for the general title of your Japanese country, your official position has gone away.  Currently, we are the plenipotentiary imperial envoy for China to take over the Japanese islands; our consort is also the lieutenant general deputy director of the Northeast Asia Branch of the China Secrecy Bureau.  The one who captured you just now is Master Wan Jiakui, the "enemy of ten thousand people" who has attracted everyone's attention in the world of Japanese martial arts. He is currently the chief of the police department and the chief martial arts instructor of the China Military Commission Headquarters, with the rank of at least general.  The person who eliminated your raiding team was Colonel Yi Zhuomao, the director of our Armed Operations Division.  Can you afford to offend these people?  Do you dare to attack even if you have a little bit of three-legged cat skills?  "Ichiro said: "I am guilty!  As long as you don't kill me, as long as you let me accompany my sister, I surrender. Anyway, I will say anything.  "Wu Erbin said seriously: "I am explaining and talking to you on behalf of the working group.  If you have anything to explain, just tell it to your sister. Only if she agrees to spare you will it count.  "After that, he went out.

    Wu Erbin came out of Fangzi's house and said to Yi Zhuomao: "For the sake of Team Leader Luo finding her brother, I won't accuse you of negligence. Go and prepare a few tables of food and drinks to calm Team Leader Luo's shock.  ." Yi Zhuomao passed away.  After a while, Ichiro helped Yoshiko out.  Yoshiko said to Ichiro: "Brother, why don't you apologize to the superiors!" Wu Erbin waved his hand and said: "Sister, please forgive me. I have been busy for a long time and it is almost dawn. Everyone is also hungry. Come and sit down quickly."  Yoshiko said happily: "Erbin, my little sister Guizi has also found her whereabouts. She is working as a maid in the Japanese palace! But it has been more than ten years, and I don't know if she is still in the palace." Wu Erbin said happily: "Okay, I'll go back  Find her when you get to the palace. The Japanese emperor will leave the palace soon, so don't let him take Guizi away." Ichiro immediately knelt down and cried out his thanks.  Wu Erbin said: "My brother, your sister is also my sister. As long as she is still in the palace, I can find her. Now let's get down to business."

    Ichiro said: Our 239th Division is also called the Morioka Division. The division commander, Lieutenant General Watanabe Yukaku, is a native of Kinseyama, Senboku Town, Morioka City.  The division has received orders to move south several times. Lieutenant General Watanabe declined the orders for various reasons, but in fact he did not want to leave the homeland.  Recently, taking advantage of the fact that the base camp headquarters has been moved to Shinwa Island and the local police force is empty, he plans to defy orders and go north to establish a base in his hometown of Morioka in an attempt to move closer to the Ezo Provisional Government in Hokkaido.  The current locations of the division headquarters are as follows: the division headquarters and the 1st Infantry Regiment and Artillery Regiment are on the Yakino line in the south; the 2nd Infantry Regiment is in the Ozuyama area to the west; the 3rd Infantry Regiment is in the east  In the Dasen Mountain area, the division's 23,000 troops have already encircled Shenggang City on three sides. If the advance team led by me has not returned before 8 o'clock, the 1st Infantry Regiment will attack northward and occupy  Shenggang urban area.

    Wu Erbin said: "It's really interesting. There are currently 1,000 people in the city's security brigade, 3,000 people in the advance group of the 25th Column, and 500 people brought by Yi Zhuomao. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the entire division of the 25th Column arrived by train from the Numa Palace Station in the north.  Come on, our strength is 14,000 against the Japanese army's 23,000. We are not afraid of a fight. There are still several columns surrounding us. But I don't want to play the trick of blooming in the center and surrounding the points to bring reinforcements. That will kill many people.  Besides, I'm afraid Watanabe is here to defect to the Ezo Army, which is a good thing. Ichiro, this team leader now appoints you as the commander of the armed action team lieutenant colonel. You take a few people back and tell your division commander, just say  His Highness the Prince Consort is inspecting police security in Morioka and will go to the division headquarters to see him soon." Ichiro stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your trust and promotion to the team leader! But please think twice, the situation over there is unclear, you risk it  But I'm afraid there may be danger in the past!" Wu Erbin said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. I'm going to show them the way, and I'm afraid it won't even be late to thank them. You go and report the news first, and I'll make arrangements and then come.  .¡±

    At the headquarters of the 239th Division in Yakinomachi Town, division commander Watanabe Yukaku got up at 3 a.m. and waited for news about the advance team.  But until 7 o'clock, no telegram was sent back.  He was a little anxious inside.  Previously, he had excused himself from the base camp by saying that the troops had not been mobilized and requested to postpone the transfer, and he had been disobeying orders and marching south for 10 days.  When he learned that the base camp headquarters had left the mainland, he thought that an opportunity had come, and ordered the division to go north. He first occupied a piece of land in his hometown of Morioka to settle the troops, and then sent people to Hokkaido Island to contact the Ezo Army.  He had no idea what the outcome of this move would be.  But no matter what, he had to occupy Shenggang and have a foothold first.  He was about to give the order to the 1st Infantry Regiment to set off when he suddenly reported: "Major Ichiro Asakusa is back with five people." He hurriedly brought Ichiro Asakusa to see him.

    Asakusa Ichiro reported: "We have reached the vicinity of the police station. According to your intention, there are fewer people."Kill them. Unexpectedly, the police station is tightly guarded. After arresting a police officer, it turns out that His Majesty the Prince Consort has arrived for inspection. There are thousands of troops in the city.  We were about to retreat, not wanting to be surrounded and disarmed.  Watanabe asked: "Did they let you back?"  Asakusa replied: "Yes, His Majesty the Prince Consort asked me to deliver a message. He will come to see the General in a moment."  "Watanabe heard this and sneered: "Humph, can the thousands of people in his city be my opponents of more than 20,000 people!  Maybe you came to beg me for mercy.  I hate that his father-in-law wants us to leave our homeland and cross the ocean to die!  There are only less than 20 divisions and hundreds of thousands of people left in the mainland that have not been transported away. The base camp has also been withdrawn, leaving a prince-in-law behind as a cover to maintain law and order.  The Japanese state has exhausted its strength. If he still dares to come to see me, isn't he afraid that I will kill him?  "Asakusa Ichiro said: "His Royal Highness the Prince Consort said: He came specifically to show a way out for the general and the tens of thousands of soldiers in our division.  Watanabe was stunned after hearing this, and asked: "What's the way?"  "Asakusa Ichiro said: "His Highness didn't say anything, and his subordinates didn't dare to ask. He just said that he would know after an interview with you.  "

    Watanabe was wondering in his heart when he suddenly reported: "His Royal Highness has arrived at the front line of the 1st Infantry Regiment's defensive line. He has indicated that he wants to meet with the division commander to ask for permission?" Watanabe thought to himself: "He will stay away from the capital now.  Shan Ligu dares to break into the camp to see me, he is just a character. I'm afraid the person who comes is not kind, and the kind person will not come." He sent an order: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come with me!"

    Wu Erbin took only five people, including Wan Jiakui, Cui Yuzhen and three guards, in a luxury car and drove straight to the gate of the 239th Division headquarters in the town.  Watanabe greeted them at the gate and invited them into the headquarters.  Wu Erbin went to the main hall, sat down on the seat where Watanabe was sitting, and said: "I'm so thirsty, please bring some tea!" Watanabe winked at the side, and the guard went to bring tea, pretending  Before he could stand still, he suddenly threw the tea at Wu Erbin. Cui Yuzhenyu pointed at it, and the tea poured on Watanabe.  Wu Erbin said: "Your Excellency, division commander, your soldiers are simply too uneducated. First they stopped me in front of your formation, and now they poured boiling water on you. What's going on?" Watanabe was so angry that he lost his temper.  Law.  The chief of staff of the division sitting at the bottom said angrily: "Your Highness, what time is this? You don't even think about where you are sitting now. Do you still want to get out alive?" Wu Erbin said angrily: "I am sitting here.  On our territory, there is no need for you, a bastard, to utter arrogant words. You are simply rebelling! Lao Wan, get it for me!" Wan Jiakui swayed and slipped the chief of staff under the statue. A group of soldiers rushed  Come in.  Wan Jiakui swung the iron rod and saw a flash of light, and the copper Buddha statue, which was more than ten feet tall, was chopped into two pieces.

    Watanabe scowled and retreated the soldiers, and Wu Erbin also asked Wan Jiakui to release the chief of staff.  Watanabe said: "Your Highness, this is the military tent of a division with thousands of troops. It is not a place to show personal martial arts." Wu Erbin said: "As soon as I arrived at Morioka City for inspection, why did you send 300 people there?  Attack me? Many people know about your plotting skills. If it is revealed, you will be punished by death!" Watanabe said solemnly: "I really didn't know that His Highness came to Morioka to inspect Your Highness hasn't pointed it out to me yet.  There is a way!" Wu Erbin said angrily: "Have you allowed me to speak? Do you dare to ask me this based on your qualifications? Is the way I gave you so easy to show! Just because you are disrespectful to His Highness,  It's time to demote you two levels and become a captain! Your Highness is hungry, please bring us some food and drinks!" After hearing this, Watanabe was both angry and shocked, and his heart became even more unfathomable.  He suppressed his anger and said: "Have a banquet!" Wu Erbin said to him: "Commander Watanabe Division, in terms of age, you should be the elder, I should respect you. But in terms of rank, then the newly appointed deputy marshal of the army  Mangye Cangwu, and Admiral Matsuyama Shuri of the Navy, you are like thunder, right? They all fought great victories in the Southwest Pacific under my command. Your thousands of troops are nothing. I ask you:  Why don't you want to leave the country?" Of course Watanabe knew about winning the war in the south. He was stunned for a moment and muttered: "Your Highness, Idon't force me!" Wu Erbin smiled and said: "Okay, I will let you see me later.  A guide, he is on his way to the banquet, ask your chief of staff to go 10 kilometers to meet him personally!" Watanabe quickly arranged for the chief of staff to go.

    The person who came to the 239th Division was the Chief of Staff of the Ezo Provisional Government Army, Nagayama Katano.  He and Yukuru Watanabe are old classmates at Imperial University.  Watanabe breathed a huge sigh of relief.  Reminisce about old times over wine.  After the banquet, the two went to the secret room.  Watanabe said excitedly: "Old classmates, I just plan to come to you. At this moment, His Highness the Prince Consort is in the way, what should I do?" Yuanshan said: "That's why I came here. Your Highness the Prince Consort.  The Japanese Emperor ordered us to maintain law and order on the island as a last resort. In order not to cause war and unrest and to ensure the safety of the people on the island, he had secretly contacted us a long time ago. It was he who notified me. Morioka today  We have a division with 10,000 troops. There are still 5 divisions surrounding your division. Your plan to dominate the land will not work. Hurry up and accept our adaptation!" Watanabe took a look.  Map, took a breath, luckily he didn't take the risk to kill His Royal Highness, otherwise his division would be finished as soon as the war started.  He said: ??A flood has really washed away the Dragon King Temple. Your Highness is really doing it for my own good.  The Morioka Division accepts the adaptation!  "

    Wu Erbin took a short nap in the guest room.  I saw Watanabe and Yuanshan coming out to pay homage to him.  He said: "My Highness has a lot to do and will be leaving soon. No matter how you talk about it, I just want to ensure the safety of one side. Also, isn't your division still the original organization? Everyone has his own ambitions.  There are no soldiers who are willing to leave the mainland and go to Shinwa Island. We will gather them together and I will find a way to send them away. Watanabe, you have led your soldiers back to your hometown to ensure safety, so you will not be demoted in rank. Ichiro Asakusa immediately informed the situation, averting the war, and immediately  He has made a great contribution. Let him change positions with that bastard Chief of Staff." Watanabe was shocked and said: "Your Highness, there is a huge gap between the ranks of major general and major general. How can I change" Wu Erbin said: "After investigation,  Your chief of staff is a member of the Black Dragon Society, and he will be eliminated sooner or later in the army. Letting him be a major will give him a chance to change his ways." Then he whispered to him: "His Royal Highness, I will treat you well when I see you.  Okay, I¡¯ll tell you a shortcut for the smooth reorganization of your division: the person who comes to receive and reorganize your division is Ichiro Asakusa¡¯s sister!¡±

    Afterwards, based on this new situation, the Wajiao pre-takeover working group adopted various methods, including civil persuasion and military deterrence, and a multi-pronged approach to deal with and adapt more than 200,000 troops of 12 divisions similar to the Watanabe Division.  , the "police" force on the island has reached more than one million people.  The 250,000-strong Yang Dezhi 23rd Group Army also gradually landed on Honshu Island from Busan. In the "fierce fighting" reported to the outside world, the Chinese Army actually took over most of the area without any blood.
