    Japan, Nagasaki Port

    This excellent port in the northern part of Kyushu Island is located at the westernmost tip of the Japanese archipelago facing China.  It has always been a window for exchanges between Japan and the East Asian continent, and even the entire outside world. During the Edo shogunate era when Japan was closed to the country, Nagasaki was the only foreign exchange port that was chartered by the shogunate to allow trade with China and the Netherlands. It was also the port of Japan at that time.  The only channel for people to come into contact with Western civilization - hundreds of small islands dotted around Nagasaki Port, thus forming excellent sheltered anchorages in the waters between the islands, filled with ships from all over the world.  .

    Due to the lack of a vast coastal plain, Nagasaki's urban area extends from the shallows on the seaside to the inland mountains. In the hilly areas far from the seaside, Japanese traditional buildings are densely lined, while the bustling commercial streets around the port,  But it is dotted with many Western-style buildings.  On the dock pier, a group of short Japanese coolies with white cloth belts on their heads and shorts on their lower bodies were shuttled back and forth carrying various goods.

    On the outskirts of Nagasaki city, terraced fields are planted on the slopes, where rice and grains are grown, as messy as the cassocks of Indian monks.  If you look up and look far ahead, you can still see Unzendake on the Shimabara Peninsula, a majestic mountain covered with a large area of ??broad-leaved forest and shrouded in clouds and mist

    This is Japan, a country full of volcanoes and hot springs, restless in frequent earthquakes; a country that boasts of being a melting pot of Eastern and Western cultures, sometimes feeling inferior and sometimes arrogant; a country that lives in a cardboard house with a few tatami mats.  A country with an imperial dream of dominating Asia; a country that always strives to learn all knowledge but always likes to take advantage of the teacher; a country that pays attention to elegant things such as flower arrangements and tea ceremonies, but is also happy to massacre foreign people  ¡­All beauty and ugliness are strangely blended here; all good and evil are cleverly mixed here.  All civilization and barbarism have been reforged here - and now, this remote East Asian island country is at its most glorious moment at the pinnacle of history!¡ª¡ª

    Although.  In the eyes of those European and American white people who despise the yellow race, this self-proclaimed Japanese empire is still nothing more than a clown.

    Accompanied by the rumbling salute, the USS Arizona battleship, which the U.S. Navy had recently transferred from the west coast, as well as the destroyers, light cruisers, hospital ships and transport ships that followed, plowed through the snow-white waves and piloted the Japanese water.  under the leadership of.  Slowly pass through the channel and sail towards the anchorage.  Countless American sailors crowded on the deck and at the portholes, whistling.  Looking curiously at the scenery of this strange island country.

    As the speed of the ship slowed down, many small Japanese wooden boats gathered near the pier gathered around.  The boatmen were wearing shabby robes, with bare bow legs, and cloth bands twisted with ropes around their heads.  Holding baskets of fruits, eggs and vegetables.  Those who were far away were shouting and hawking on several warships.  Sell ??hard.  The harsh and weird English mixed with the noisy Kansai Japanese dialect suddenly made a mess in the harbor.

    Amidst the enthusiastic shouts of the vendors, the originally murderous armed fleet suddenly turned into a bustling floating market.  As the fleet stopped and anchored one after another, it didn't take long before almost every ship had small wooden boats going back and forth to sell goods, and hanging baskets and swing ropes were flying in the sky to facilitate the lowering of sailors or translators.  bargain.  Then he pulled all kinds of fresh food onto the deck

    In addition to these floating vendors that can be seen in almost every port, even flower boats with pink lanterns come to join in the fun - I can only see them on the decks of these Japanese-style cruise ships.  There were some women in colorful kimonos, most of their shoulders exposed, their faces so thickly painted with lead powder that they looked like dead people. They were smiling wildly, waving their handkerchiefs to the Western sailors, and popping up their handkerchiefs from time to time.  A few greetings in English American sailors who liked the novelty rushed to the side of the ship, flirting with the women with gestures, and seemed to be very interested in this exotic encounter.

    While American sailors were flirting with Japanese prostitutes, they had already arrived at Nagasaki Port. The British, French and American warships currently moored in various places in the port also raised their heads to the newly arrived "Arizona" battleship formation.  Signal flags expressing greetings and greetings.

    ¡ª¡ªSince the Japanese Navy is not willing to fully open its military port to the European and American powers that have long been imaginary enemies, and the berths at the Sasebo military port are limited, after accommodating the main force of the Japanese combined fleet that is about to go to China, it really cannot free up so many berths.  There is a place to accommodate hundreds of mighty steel battleships from Britain, the United States and France Therefore, after some negotiations with the relevant parties, except for a few injured and damaged ships, they were allowed to enter the Japanese naval bases in Sasebo or Kure Port.  In addition to using the shipyard equipment there for emergency repairs, most of the Western warships in good condition were transferred to Nagasaki Port, not far from Sasebo, for berthing and rest.  And the navies of various countries, who are exhausted from long wars,Officers and soldiers also prefer this option - after all, in a bustling city, there are definitely more places for recreation than in a military port, and they can definitely find more fun.

    So, when the USS Arizona entered the Port of Nagasaki, the harbor was filled with towering steel behemoths, and a forest of masts and chimneys rose from the sea - huge battleships, majestic bridges, and giant towers.  Cannons, brand-new twill paint all of this is filled with shocking violent aesthetics, making everyone who witnesses it feel deeply shocked and rippled both physically and mentally.

    Amidst the sound of whistles, the Union Jack of the British Empire, the tricolor flag of the French Republic, the Stars and Stripes of the United States of America, and the Rising Sun Flag of the Japanese Navy fluttered in the wind in this harbor hundreds of majestic ships  The giant steel ships, including auxiliary ships and transport ships, with a total tonnage of more than one million tons, seemed to have once again sounded the war horn for Westerners to conquer the East.

    At the same time, on the bridge of the battleship "Pennsylvania", the flagship of the U.S. Asia Fleet, I saw the "Arizona" battleship formation flexibly bypassing the complex channel and slowly entering the port without incident. The highest number of U.S. troops in this Far East battle  principal.  Admiral Frank Upham, commander-in-chief of the U.S. Asia Fleet, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and poured himself a glass of champagne.  Express celebration.

    "God bless! Our reinforcements and artillery shells have finally arrived! The fleet can also set off from Nagasaki Port again! Well, we have to take the Japanese fleet with us! We can't let them continue to hide in the harbor this time  Resting behind the battlefield!"

    While drinking champagne from his glass, Admiral Upham complained to His Excellency Joseph Gru, the U.S. Ambassador to Japan who had just come to visit the ship, "we came across the Pacific and fought on the coast of mainland China for nearly a month.  Yue, not only had all the shells been fired, but the fuel was almost burned out! But the Japanese fleet was quietly hiding in the Sasebo naval port watching the show! Is this the attitude of an ally in a war?

    The reason why the good boys of the United States have to travel all the way across the Pacific Ocean.  Coming to a strange land to fight against the even stranger Bolsheviks was to protect the interests of the United States in the East, not to allow Japan to take the opportunity to expand its territory in China - even if the Japanese wanted to get their share of the rewards.  You have to finish the work first!  The dignity of the great powers in the civilized world cannot be fooled by dwarfs like them!  "

    "You are right, General. The Japanese government's performance during the joint operations over the past month was extremely disappointing."

    ¡ª¡ªAmbassador Gru came from a wealthy family in Boston and is tall.  The eyebrows are thick and dark.  He has a striking beard.  Not only did he have a distinguished status and was "born with a silver spoon in his mouth," but he was also a classmate of President Franklin Roosevelt at Gruton High School and Harvard University, making him a political celebrity.  In addition, Ambassador Gru knows the situation in Japan very well and likes Japanese culture and everything about Japan, so he has done quite well in the position of ambassador to Japan - because his wife is the wife of Commodore Perry of the "Black Ship Arrival"  Descendant, can speak Japanese.  And I lived in Japan for a long time.

    After becoming the ambassador to Japan, this "pro-Japanese" American diplomat has been working hard to resolve conflicts between the United States and Japan.  To avoid a fierce conflict between these two countries located on opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean.  The recent successful conclusion of the Manila Conference and the conclusion of the United Far East Anti-Communist Pact are largely due to Ambassador Grew's threading the needle However, since the outbreak of a new round of Japan's war of aggression against China, the Japanese Imperial Government has been determined to  Even this "pro-Japanese" U.S. ambassador can't stand the bad behavior of just taking advantage and refusing to work hard.

    Of course, even under such circumstances, Ambassador Grew habitually said a few good words for the Japanese.

    "Besides, the Japanese Army has launched an offensive from the inland direction against the Red elements entrenched in Shanghai in accordance with the requirements of the alliance. It is said that the casualties are quite heavy Therefore, even if it is just to reinforce their own Army, the Japanese Fleet should also  Take active action"

    "I hope so!" Admiral Upham nodded noncommittally, and then changed the subject, "Tonight at 6:30, I am going to hold a dinner on the flagship for the guests who have come all the way."  The USS Arizona battleship battleship battleship battleship is recovering from the wind and dust, so I hope you can help invite some leading figures of the Japanese Navy to come over so that I can have a look at their opinions so as to determine the next combat arrangement"

    ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù

    On the other hand, the Japanese are also nervous about so many huge fleets that are obviously of a demonstrative nature sailing into their own ports - although in theory, after signing the "United Anti-Communist Convention in the Far East"  "After that, this fleet should be consideredThey were Japan's allies in "conquering China", but seeing the expedition fleets of European and American countries with a total tonnage of up to one million tons sailing into the mainland together, they recalled that more than half a century ago, the American Admiral Perry's "Black Ship Arrival" forced the  The past events of the founding of the Edo shogunate still made the sensitive Japanese government and public feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

    Especially for the navy, not only has most of the elite battleships of the Japanese combined fleet been assembled in advance at the Sasebo naval port adjacent to Nagasaki to strengthen Japan's momentum during negotiations, but a large number of naval officers have also been dispatched.  Go to Nagasaki and have close contact and exchanges with naval officers and soldiers from Britain, France and the United States in order to evaluate the actual combat effectiveness of these future imaginary enemies and collect more valuable intelligence.

    So, at this moment, when the "Arizona" battleship formation sounded its whistle and sailed into Nagasaki Port, several Japanese naval officers wearing white military uniforms and Western-style swords appeared.  He also stood on a breakwater in the port and used binoculars to observe the US reinforcement fleet entering the port.

    "Another American fleet, with a total tonnage of probably no less than 100,000I should say. Is it really worthy of being the world's number one industrial power?"

    The second most powerful figure in the Japanese Combined Fleet, Commander Mitsumasa Yoneuchi of the Cruiser Fleet, while carefully observing every detail of the battleship "Arizona", said in an envious tone - although the Japanese Navy, in order to be evenly matched, concentrated the vast majority in Sasebo.  There are some cutting-edge ships, but compared with these clusters of Western battleships that can be seen at a glance, Japan only has two battleships, the Mutsu and the Nagato, which are relatively capable.

    What I have to admit is.  In terms of steel competition, there is still a big gap between Japan and the Western powers. It seems that we can only find a solution in terms of the quality of officers and soldiers Mitsumasa Yoneuchi sighed.  Putting down the telescope, he turned around and asked another naval officer behind him, " Mr. Yamamoto. I heard that these days, you spend all day drinking wine and going to casinos with American military officers to have fun.  You seem quite happy? I wonder what you think of these people?"

    ¡ª¡ªIn order to facilitate communication with the officers and soldiers of the U.S. fleet and find out the details of this biggest imaginary enemy after the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese Combined Fleet specially sent out this time a man who had studied at Harvard University and was familiar with American customs and known for his proficiency in gambling.  Isoroku Yamamoto.  Let Yamamoto Isoroku, in the name of "hospitality and tour guide", be responsible for accompanying the U.S. military officers to eat, drink and have fun, and at the same time take the opportunity to spy on the actual inside story of the U.S. Navy.

    "Hey. How should I put it? Almost all the American officers and soldiers who frequent the streets of Nagasaki these days are wearing bulging and baggy military uniforms. There are cigarettes in the left pocket, chocolate candies in the right pocket, and contraceptive pills in the butt pocket.  They are very curious, have strong sexual desire, and have shallow ideas Many people think that they are an army of playboys who are afraid of death, not good at fighting, and selfish. But in my opinion, they are all very  Outstanding young people are full of ideals, fantasies and dreams, and they also lack the courage to sacrifice. The only thing they lack is practical experience."

    Yamamoto Isoroku sighed, "the Army always likes to say that 'the Japanese are far superior to the degenerate American soldiers in terms of mental strength, and one can beat three of them'. It is simply nonsense to deceive themselves! Of course you have confidence.  It¡¯s good, but once you are overconfident, it becomes nonsense!¡±

    "Yes! Those 'horse dung' guys from the Army, without notifying the military headquarters in the past two days, just gathered a few brigades to 'walk alone' in the Jiangnan area without authorization. As a result, they were killed by the Chinese in Shanghai because they had no air cover.  The communist army was completely defeated, and in the end they had to beg our navy to wipe their butts"

    Mitsumasa Yoneuchi also echoed the complaint, but then said seriously, "the combined fleet will accompany the European and American fleets to Shanghai this time. It will be the most spectacular lineup of our Japanese navy since the Russo-Japanese War thirty years ago! Therefore, all officers and soldiers  We must be united as one, strictly observe military discipline, and strive to give our best performance. We must not act hastily, let alone lose the prestige and face of our Imperial Army of Japan in front of European and American white people"

    ¡ª¡ªHowever, what they all don¡¯t know is that the Japanese combined fleet has no chance to anchor out from Sasebo.

    Because, a horrific catastrophe that far exceeds the greatest imagination of ordinary people will soon come to this harbor where giant steel ships gather

    Shanghai Puxi, Hongqiao Airport

    In the evening, a slightly dim sun struggled to reveal its face from the thick cumulus clouds, coating the gray sky with a brilliant golden light and illuminating the rows of tile-roofed streets on the ground.  The gorgeous fire clouds contrasted with the smoke from distant farmhouses, and a certain mammoth towering proudly shone under the bright red sunset, showing a shocking majestic momentum.

    ¡ª¡ªOn the runway paved with porous steel plates, this shipThe huge airship, like a moving castle, was bathing in the gorgeous dusk light, standing majestically in the middle of the empty airport.  But for some reason, its airbags and gondola were painted a thick gray-black color, like a crow, which looked very ugly. The airport staff who were watching the airship couldn't help but talk about it, and they couldn't agree.  .

    However, Ms. Jin Qina, who was standing on the airport tower, knew clearly why this airship chose such an ugly "crow" painting - when night fell, this giant remote-controlled airship that had been "magically transformed",  It is about to carry a hydrogen bomb with an explosive yield of 20 million tons of TNT, a thousand times that of the historical Hiroshima atomic bomb, across the vast East China Sea, bringing death and destruction to the Japanese islands on the other side!

    Although she clearly knows that Japan has been China¡¯s life-and-death enemy for decades and has committed heinous crimes on Chinese soil, and will cause countless obstacles to the Chinese people in the future.  However, at the moment when the hydrogen bomb was about to be released, Jin Qina's heart was not filled with the refreshing feeling of retaliation and revenge. Instead, because of the delicate thoughts unique to women, it was filled with thousands of complicated worries and a slight trace of pity.  But I didn¡¯t know how to express it In the end, I had to sigh and murmur a short poem to briefly express the entanglement, intolerance and melancholy in my heart:

    The tragedy of the drunk was shocked, where is the lonely shadow?

    Prosperity disappears, mountains and rivers are shattered, and the delicate body cannot bear the pain of national subjugation!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I'm leaving behind, is a mess, I can't help but feel sad and regretful.
