Australian Storm 1876

   Chapter 855

Tokyo

At this time, it is the cherry blossom season in October. The quaint Tokyo is enveloped in a poetic image. The crowds on the streets are very lively. On the rickshaws, there is a pair of Fuso dressed in Western style, some in suits. Some wear youth clothes, this is the current trend.

  Occasionally, there are still a few cars driving on the street, often attracting the attention of everyone, which are all envied eyes.

  Australian car, an expensive foreign product, is a symbol of status and wealth in today's Fusang society. Only a very small number of Chinese and large businessmen can afford it. It is far more dazzling than traditional carriages.

  On a Xinghui brand car

Komura Komura, who was born in the Chinese family of the Tottori domain, had a gloomy face. After the signing of the "Brisbane Treaty", there was an uproar in Fuso. Some radical groups regarded the Katsutaro cabinet and the delegation that signed the treaty as a national thief and vowed to do so. Quickly after the death.

Under the turbulent domestic public opinion, Katsura’s cabinet had to fall sadly, silently accepting the reproach of the people, and with the victory of the Russo-Japanese War, Fuso’s hard-line imperialism was overwhelming, oppressing the moderate constitutionalism and the neutral Western school. Being in a difficult situation, keep silent.

  Komura Komura is one of the representatives of the constitutional government. He hopes that the emperor system of the Manse family will carry out in-depth constitutional reforms. The goal is the electoral system parliament and independent judiciary like Britain and the Ocean Empire to form strong restrictions on military power.

   But now he is in a situation where everyone is shouting and beating, so he can only behave with his head down.

  As an elite with a broad vision, Komura Komura takes development and nationality as his lifelong pursuit of ideals and ambitions. When he is so insulted by the Chinese, why not be extremely depressed in his heart?

"Sir, please don't worry about these stupid women. They don't know what a national event is? They just rely on recklessness and arbitrary behavior, and believe whatever the newspaper says, without their own position. It's a farce. !"

  Speaking is Naoto Naoto, Komura’s staff, who is a high-achieving student studying at the Ocean Empire Royal School of Administration. He once served as the governor of Aichi Prefecture and is a rising star in Fuso’s political arena.

   "Kun Yang Jun, everyone is drunk and I wake up alone, it's uncomfortable!"

   "The gang of **** in the military department are now all arrogant. When they negotiated, they tried their best to put pressure on the husband. Now it is too despicable to push all the faults on the husband."

"Hey... I didn't get the negotiation result I wanted, and I felt extremely ashamed in my heart. I failed the eager expectations of millions of soldiers. It's worth it to be scolded. Personal honor or disgrace is nothing. I just hope that the government will not go wrong. Road!"

  Komura Komura, as the former undersecretary of the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the cabinet of Katsutaro, served as the thankless post of the head of the high-level negotiating delegation. Now he has a notorious reputation in Fuso.

He looked out of the car window with a solemn expression. Many young students on the street wear youth clothes. Some company employees wear suits and traditional kimonos. Most of their clogs are women and elderly people. There are also many young people riding shiny bicycles. It is the influence of foreign countries on Fusang's traditional society.

  The theater that just passed by has a large poster, and the movie "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousnesses" shot by Ocean Empire is being staged. This is a very fashionable black and white silent movie with Japanese subtitles. It belongs to the Oriental martial arts genre and is extremely popular in Fuso society.

Fusang people have a very complicated mood towards the Southern Ocean Empire. On the one hand, they like Ocean Empire’s exquisite woolen garments, pure wool yarn, bicycles, cars, toffee, fruit, seafood, and canned meat. They like Ocean Empire’s pop music. Trendy clothing, trendy pictorials, and on the other hand, due to strong ethnic sentiments, newspapers and business circles are calling for a boycott of Ocean Empire products and asking them to treat Japanese immigrants fairly.

  Also encountered Citi State. After the Chinese flag State abolished the bill that discriminated against Chinese immigrants, the white extremists in Congress did not give up, and soon introduced a law that discriminates against Japanese and Southeast Asian immigrants. It has been more than 10 years.

  After the Fusang State defeated Russia, the citizens were proud from top to bottom, thus becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the Citi State’s discrimination against Japanese immigrants. The public was screaming and screaming, calling on the public to boycott Citi State’s products.

  It can be seen from this aspect

The victory of the Russo-Japanese War not only brought high national self-confidence, but also the arrogance of killing everything. If the two countries stop exporting to Fusang, they will shrink their money and force debts. Some ships will be suspended, power stations will be closed, and the economy will be hit hard.

  Fuso country's social development is extremely dependent on steel, petroleum, coal, copper, zinc, and aluminum ore imports. In addition, there are grain, oil and various means of living, which are all necessities that Fuso cannot produce.

  Not to mention, Australia’s milk, cane sugar, frozen beef and sheep meat and woolen products, patronize the entire world, which one can produce such a large number of high-quality products?

  Although the price is high, the stuff is good!

  A large number of canned fruits exported from the Luzon Islands allow Fusang people to taste a variety of tropical fruits in any season. This is a unique business, and it is not possible anywhere else.

  In the final analysis, the strength is not as good as humans!

Komura Komura knew very well that Fuso’s finances are now terrible. The huge loan interest repaid every year accounts for more than 35% of its fiscal revenue. After deducting 32% of military expenditures, there is very little left.

  Having not received a huge war indemnity from Tsarist Russia, with the current capabilities of the Fuso country, it has been 20 years since the belt tightened. I don’t know if I can repay the huge loan.

  And none of these British, American, and Oceanic empires’ creditors can't afford to offend them. This is the plight of Fusang Country.

  "Zhou country thief, long live the Yamato nation!"

  Sutaro Komura looked at the street scene outside the window with thoughts, and was suddenly interrupted by the clamor of noise. After listening carefully, the color of the back was pale, and his lips trembled and could not speak.

"Bage, these rude people are too much." Naoto Inuyang watched a group of samurai in white kimono approaching in front of the street, his eyebrows erected in real anger, but he is not stupid, knowing that he can't be full of minds with these. The frenzied Wufu resisted, so he hurriedly said to the driver; "Go back quickly and protect Lord Xiaomura from here."

   "Hey."

  The driver stopped the car, then engaged reverse gear and started reversing. Only a sound of "Bang Dang" was heard, and the car hit the trader's burden and stopped.

  The wooden trader's burden was stuck under the wheel. Although it had been smashed, it was firmly stuck and continued to reverse.

  The dozen or so wandering warriors in white kimonos in front of them roared when they saw the car escaping, and they drew out their sharp samurai swords and rushed up. This made Komura Kotsutaro’s face as horrified as earth.

"Mr. You go first, I'll stop them." The driver is not a vegetarian either. He was originally a retired soldier from Aichi Prefecture. He was also a bodyguard. He quickly jumped out of the car and drew out the revolver to cover Komura Komura and Inuya Naoto. Retreat first.

   A crisp "pop" gunshot

  This is when the driver fired a shot into the sky, causing the pedestrians around to flee. The street suddenly became chaotic. He shouted loudly; "Stop, don't move rashly, or I will shoot."

  "Hashed him, this traitor’s accomplice."

   "Kill!"

   "Warriors follow me, today the thief of the country will wash the shame with my blood, and dare to change the sun and the moon to a new sky."

   Seeing the driver took out the gun, the more than 10 wandering warriors had a crazy look in their eyes.

   "Papa...Papa..."

  After several consecutive gunshots, the kimonos of the three samurai were stained red with red blood, and they turned over and fell to the ground, not knowing whether it was life or death?

  The remaining samurai was even crazier, and rushed to the driver's side in a few steps, brandished a sharp katana, and chopped it down.

  With a single knife, he chopped off the driver's arm with a pistol, and then the knife flickered. In just a few seconds, several samurai chopped the driver into blood, and fell to his death on the street feebly.

The blood-stained samurai were even more crazier. They followed Komura Komura and Naoto Inuyang and chased them for more than 150 meters. Pedestrians on the street screamed and avoided, for fear of being chopped off by these mad samurai. Last knife.

  The short stature Komura Kotsutaro ran forward desperately, but the samurai behind him had gradually narrowed the distance. He looked back in panic and saw that he had approached more than ten meters behind him, and his legs fell to the ground with fright.

  Inuyang Naoto, who was running in front, heard the noise behind him, hesitantly immersed himself in his run, and said nothing at this time, he could only take care of his own life.

  He saw a few Fusang police officers on the street, but no one stood up to stop this madness. Instead, he quietly hid in the houses on both sides of the street, pretending to be invisible.

  This made Naoto Inuyang a chill. The husband gave all his hard work for the country and the people, but he got the title of national thief. How tragic was the end?

   "No, you can't kill me, this is too much." Komura was so frightened that he screamed.

  Several Fuso warriors stained with blood surrounded him with cruel grins on their faces. The two warriors forced Komura Komura to kneel on the ground, with their hands behind their backs.

  Then a middle-aged warrior standing in front of him yelled, "Zhou country thief, keep the world safe." Komura Komura vaguely remembered that this was an army sergeant, and he couldn't remember his name, and he didn't have time to chat with him.

  I saw the sharp light of the knife flash, and the head fell to the ground.

The crowds around Fuso were applauded. After killing Komura Kotsutaro, the atmosphere on the street became frenzied. Even many people sang and danced the Awa dance, which drove more people to participate in singing and dancing. , Like a **** carnival.

  The Fusang society in the early 20th century was full of restlessness, arrogance and inferiority intertwined, all kinds of thoughts from abroad were rampant, social contradictions were extremely sharp, and no one knew what day it would explode.

  　The second change beast is also a little temperamental. If you say violent changes, you will never break your promise. There will be a change in the evening. Please drop all the recommended tickets and monthly tickets and move your little fingers to collect them. Thank you. Thank you.
