On the night of October 4, 1945, Fang Lang stood on the fifth floor of the fifth floor of Tennoji Temple in Osaka. Looking at the body of the abbot on the ground, he couldn't help but start to murmur in his heart.
Originally, I just knew that there was a Tennoji Temple in Tokyo, Japan, so I casually bombed the abbot who was in charge. However, the abbot jumped off the fifth floor without knowing what he was thinking.
If you jump from this place at such an old age, you basically don’t have to think about rescuing.
From this point of view, the Tennoji Temple in Osaka is really connected to the Tennoji Temple in Tokyo! Judging from this host’s resolute self-silencing behavior, there should be much more treasures in Tennoji Temple in Tokyo than in Osaka!
What should I do? My trip to Tokyo does not include Tokyo Tennoji!
Looking at the soldiers downstairs who were busy moving the collection, Fang Lang began to fall into deep thought.
It wasn't until soldiers came to report that the US military had brought two trucks of arms to the station that Fang Lang came back to his senses.
Walking downstairs and looking at the fifth-floor building that was almost emptied, Fang Lang smiled with satisfaction.
With what I gained tonight, my trip to Osaka was not in vain.
When he came downstairs, Fang Lang found the messenger and asked him to notify the artillery platoon to take two rounds of napalm bombs that had just been delivered to see the effect.
Soon the soldiers from the artillery platoon came over with a Japanese-style Type 97 81mm mortar.
Fang Lang pulled Qi Qingshan over again and whispered orders in his ear. After seeing Qi Qingshan express his understanding, Fang Lang didn't say anything more.
I haven't had a good rest for two consecutive nights, and now my work in Osaka is basically completed.
Fang Lang wanted to have a good chat with his father while he was around, and for the safety of this fleet, Fang Lang had ordered de la Torre's Hope submarine to escort him throughout the entire journey.
The fleet was about to set off after dawn, so Fang Lang, who left Tennoji, went directly to the dock, chatted with Fang Xinshan for a while, and then explained to de la Torre.
Although Fang Lang believes that the political storm in Brazil will not affect him and his family, he is right to be cautious.
Therefore, Fang Lang specifically asked de la Torre not to dock directly ashore after returning to Brazil, but to wait for Fang Lang's orders off the coast of Santos Port and be ready to meet his family at any time.
Fang Lang knew that by the time Fang Xinshan and the Hope returned to Brazil, October would have already ended, and President Vargas would have been overthrown.
However, Fang Lang was worried that President Vargas would definitely have his own manpower after being a dictator for so many years.
Although he did not participate in the overthrow of Vargas, as a pro-American faction in Brazil, when his family was targeted and attacked by Vargas' supporters, Fang Lang had no place to cry.
Shortly after Fang Lang left Tianwang Temple, Qi Qingshan brought the two Japanese translators who accompanied the team back to the house where the monks were detained in Tianwang Temple.
The Japanese translator thought he was going to choose a noble girl for Fang Lang, so he went in without hesitation.
Next, Qi Qingshan directly ordered the door to be locked and locked all the Japanese in the house. Immediately, the Japanese in the house began to scream.
The Japanese translator who had been following Fang Lang fell to the ground. He understood his fate the moment Qi Qingshan closed the door.
This was going to be silenced. It was in vain that he thought he could gain favor by choosing a noble girl for Fang Lang.
However, in Fang Lang's eyes, how could the so-called Japanese aristocratic girl be more important than keeping secrets!
Fang Lang didn't want to keep this secret forever, it was unrealistic. Fang Lang just wanted to keep this secret until Fang Lang could safely transport all the collections back to Brazil.
After Qi Qingshan left, the artillery platoon's mortars fired two napalm bombs, and the entire house immediately fell into a sea of flames.
During the whole process, Fang Lang didn't even pay attention to the specific nobles imprisoned in this house. If the Japanese translator was smart enough, he would have figured out that they would definitely be silenced.
It's a pity that it doesn't make any sense to Fang Lang, whether he submits to compromise or tries his best.
.............................
The next day, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, when the messenger sent by Colonel Malik came to notify Fang Lang of the meeting, what he saw was that there were only the necessary personnel on duty.
The entire Brazilian Expeditionary Force camp was snoring like thunder, and everyone was fast asleep.
The intense busyness for two consecutive days and nights really made the soldiers of the expeditionary force very tired, and it also made Fang Lang earn a lot of money.
At around eight o'clock yesterday morning, Fang Lang watched his father lead the harvest from Osaka and set off. The fleet that left this time included three cargo ships, a supply ship and a submarine.
The House and another supply ship were left to serve Fang Lang.
When Fang Lang arrived at Colonel Malik's office, he saw Colonel Malik sitting at his desk looking at a document, with a wisp of smoke coming from the cigar in his hand.
When he saw Fang Lang, Colonel Malik was not polite and said directly:
"Fang, the league officials from Tokyo have arrived in Osaka this morning and convened a meeting with the original Osaka officials at the Osaka City Hall. I was also asked to attend.
From now on, the days when we can directly call the shots are gone. Moreover, I also received an order from the Military Ministry. Starting from October, we will begin large-scale disarmament operations.
And I heard that this time it is planned to reduce the number of 11 million US soldiers to 1.7 million by the end of 1948. I will also be ready to retire soon. "
Fang Lang was also surprised when he heard Colonel Malik's words. Fang Lang had already prepared for the Allied General's management of the Japanese government, but he did not expect that the US military's disarmament action would come so quickly.
And the disarmament is so intense, nine million troops were disbanded in three years, which is a bit scary.
However, after thinking about it, Fang Lang also felt that it was normal. If this was not the case, how could the Americans readily agree to provide Brazil with warships to form the first fleet?
Now is a good opportunity to take over American arms! It's definitely a big deal.
It's a pity that I can't take over these equipments. I can't just buy them and let them rust in Brazil! If it is sold to other countries, it is impossible to sell it to the Americans themselves.
However, in addition to arms, I still need other supplies very much. For example, jeeps, trucks, etc. can be resold domestically. Also, it is definitely no problem to buy two American transport planes as my own special planes!
It's not that Fang Lang doesn't want to buy more planes and start an airline. It's just that there is really no such a big market for airlines in Brazil now!
If ordinary people don’t have money, who will take a plane?
You can still have a chance to make a fortune by opening an airline in the United States. But the United States and Pan Am are the territories of several major aviation giants. If you are a small role player, you will be swallowed up to the ground.
"Malik, you are now the Japanese occupying force. When you dismantle troops that have no mission, you must first disband the troops that have no mission! How can you casually disband troops that are still performing occupation missions?
Do not worry! If you are laid off now, I will come forward to hire you to work in Brazil. "
After hearing what Fang Lang said, Malik laughed loudly and stretched out his hand to touch Fang Lang.
"I called you here today to remind you that we all need to restrain ourselves a little from now on. If there is anything that has not been cleaned up, we must clean it up immediately. Once these damn Japanese start to participate in management work again, they will definitely create trouble for us everywhere. Troublesome!"
Malik's words reminded Fang Lang that it seemed like he would have to send a few napalm bombs to Sumitomo Copperblow Works after he returned!
After thinking about his arrangements, Fang Lang took the initiative to speak to Malik:
"Brother Malik, the situation in Brazil has been very chaotic recently. Our Brazilian Navy sent a telegram a few days ago, ordering us to withdraw to Brazil!"
"Really? Is your government unwilling to participate in the occupation of Japan?"
"Actually, the order I received was to assist the U.S. military in the Pacific War. I was not ordered to participate in the occupation of Japan. I came to Osaka on my own initiative to apply to General Clark.
Now that I appear in the Japanese occupation forces, some officials in the country are very dissatisfied and are putting pressure on the Navy Department. Therefore, I may have to withdraw soon. "
Fang Lang did not lie about this matter. There were indeed some politicians in Brazil who expressed dissatisfaction with the Brazilian Expeditionary Force's participation in the occupation force out of consideration for their own votes.
Unfortunately, Fang Lang pushed back by saying that he was obeying the orders of the US military. It was impossible for them to ask the US military whether Fang Lang took the initiative to join the occupation force.
However, it was in line with Fang Lang's wishes to withdraw to Brazil now, so he also contacted Major General Crook of the Navy Department.
Major General Crook is waiting for the warships promised by the US military to arrive, but depending on the situation, he should receive an order to withdraw to Brazil soon.
"That's such a shame. I thought you would always accompany me to make a fortune in Osaka!"
"Hey! We can't go too far if any of the league presidents are here, so I might as well go home peacefully and spend time with my family!"
"Yes! I haven't been home for a long time!"
Speaking of his home, Colonel Malik even revealed a warm smile.
"Malik, I would like to apply to take my troops to Tokyo for a visit. I don't know if that's possible."
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Malik was startled. He looked at Fang Lang seriously and said:
"Brother, I just gave you two trucks of dangerous goods. If you go to Tokyo now, are you going to do something earth-shattering?"
Fang Lang looked at Malik's expression, smiled and said:
"Marick, I am an Allied soldier. I will never do anything to harm the Allied forces. Please rest assured! However, as a Chinese, I do have some accounts to settle with the Japanese."
Hearing that Fang Lang wanted to settle accounts with the Japanese, Malik felt relieved and his expression quickly returned to normal.
"It's okay to settle accounts with the Japanese in Osaka! Why go to Tokyo?"
