Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Since the expeditionary force has come to visit, they must have real evidence.

In order to encourage Japanese people to join the military, the Japanese government gives veterans a higher social status. During major festivals, these veterans have to wear the military uniforms of the year and take up the weapons of the year to participate in parades, so they can't afford to miss it.

Yamaguchi Heng, a man in his 60s and 70s who is always strong and healthy, clamors to be loyal to the empire all day long. He has indeed enjoyed the dividends of Japan's external expansion and can be regarded as a vested interest class in Japan's external expansion.

"In 1900, you went abroad to fight with Yamaguchi Soomi, the commander of the Fifth Division, which lasted for six months. During the war, you were injured in your left arm because you were snatching trophies from the Russians. Is that so?" The officer smiled half-heartedly.

Yamaguchi Heng looked embarrassed.

After Yamaguchi returned to his country, he always claimed that his left arm was injured in battle and gained the admiration of his family and neighbors.

Now exposed by the officer, the surrounding villagers immediately whispered and looked at Yamaguchi Heng with eyes full of contempt.

"Are you here to humiliate me, an old man?" Yamaguchi Heng became angry, but still did not dare to draw his sword.

"Oh, don't rely on your old age. What we respect is your behavior, not your age." Military officers are not bound by morality. Southern Africa also advocates respecting the elderly, but it must be based on the premise that the elderly are worthy of respect.

Not all old people are worthy of respect. Bad people will only become old bad people when they get older. Moral standards will not improve accordingly. The law will not be lenient because of age. Those who deserve to go to jail will still have to go to jail.

In Japan, there are no worries about this.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Yamaguchi was too tough to be soft, and his toughness was only verbal.

"We need you to help us conduct some investigations. Please come with us." The officer is really tough and doesn't care about Yamaguchi Heng's age and physical condition.

Taking away the people was not enough. More than a dozen soldiers from the Southern African Expeditionary Force conducted a thorough search of Yamaguchi Heng's home. All items related to the Qing Empire were taken away as evidence of crime.

There are quite a lot of things, including more than a dozen pieces of porcelain, several thread-bound books, a lot of metal products, and even an old-fashioned flintlock musket.

Other things are easy to say, but muskets are dangerous items that are prohibited by the Southern African Expeditionary Force. Private possession by private individuals is a felony. At this time, Yamaguchi Yoko and his family were all taken away.

The same thing is happening all over Japan these days.

For Wolf, the head of Tokyo's umbrella company, he has a more important task: dismantling Japan's Yasukuni Shrine.

The major events of the country lie in sacrifices and military affairs. In the original context, "sacrifice and military affairs" does not generally refer to sacrifices and wars, but to sacrificial rituals and military rituals. They all belong to the category of etiquette, and are specifically implemented as ancestor worship and community rituals.

They are all related to sacrifices, and later generations quoted them and became common expressions, and their reference gradually expanded from sacrificial rituals and military rituals in the scope of etiquette to sacrifices and wars.

Japan's Yasukuni Shrine is located in Kudanbei, Chiyoda District, Tokyo, Japan. It commemorates the soldiers and military families who died fighting for Japan since the Meiji Restoration era. Most of them were Japanese soldiers who died in Japan's war of aggression against China and the Pacific War.

If you were an American, you might not understand the significance of the Yasukuni Shrine to Japan.

This is especially true for Wolfe, who is not only a senior executive at Umbrella, but also works for Bullard's office and currently serves as the head of Bullard's office in Kyoto.

As the capital of Japan, Kyoto received special care during the Allied bombings. It was not bombed many times, and most of the buildings in the city remained intact.

The city of Kyoto was built based on Chang'an and Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty. The western half of Ukyo was called "Chang'an" and the eastern half of Zukyo was called "Luoyang". Due to the later decline of Ukyo, Luoyang in Zukyo became synonymous with Heian Kyo.

Although Kyoto has an important status, it is not large in scale. The city is now taken over by the Southern African Expeditionary Force and the US military. The US military took over Ukyo Chang'an, and the expeditionary force took over Sakyo Luoyang.

Before arriving in Kyoto, Wolfe received a secret order from Angel that the palace could be preserved but the Yasukuni Shrine must be completely destroyed.

Wolfe resolutely carried out Angel's order, but did not want to do it himself, so the Americans became the most suitable target.

In an izakaya in Kyoto, several officers and soldiers of the Southern African Expedition and several American soldiers were having a drink, and the topic naturally led to the Yasukuni Shrine.

"Do you know what the Yasukuni Shrine is for? It functions just like your American churches. It honors the Japanese soldiers and their families who died in the Pacific War -" Shen Lizui from Port Edward looked at several American soldiers with drowsiness in his eyes.

His eyes were full of mockery: "——How could you just watch this happen? If it were me, I would burn that damn shrine to the ground. Worshiping the Japanese army is a humiliation to the United States!"

These words were so exciting that several American soldiers who were already dizzy from drinking instantly became excited.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go now and burn that damn shrine down!" Second Lieutenant Tom from Oregon was full of passion. How could he bear this kind of thing?

That's unbearable. The occupying forces always have special privileges.

"My brother was killed in Pearl Harbor. I vowed to avenge him. Count me in!" DeFoe, who was from Nevada, took out his pistol and waved it, stood up and walked out crookedly.

Several American soldiers followed immediately and swarmed away.

The status of the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan is indeed high. It is large in size and has a quiet environment. There are Japanese people hired by the umbrella company on duty at the door to maintain order in the surrounding area.

The number of people in the Umbrella Company is still too small to control the entire Kyoto, so it has to hire some Japanese to assist the Umbrella Company in its management. Many of them are former policemen in Kyoto and are familiar with the business.

What people didn't expect was that hiring these Japanese people not only cost no money, but also provided profits to the umbrella company. People have to admire the umbrella company's sound management.

In essence, an umbrella company is still a commercial enterprise. It raises its own funds and is responsible for its own profits and losses. Doing business is a familiar process.

When it comes to understanding the issue of Kyoto, no one is more familiar with it than the Kyoto police. The umbrella company took out some special industry management rights and successfully obtained the help of Kyoto's local gangsters, restoring stability in Kyoto in a short period of time.

Facing the drunken American soldiers, the "auxiliary police" on duty did not dare to stop them. They went all the way to the entrance of the Yasukuni Shrine, and finally a monk came forward.

In Japan, reservations are required to visit Yasukuni Shrine, so the monks have a very firm attitude towards these uninvited guests.

"I'm sorry, if you want to come to worship, please make an appointment in advance -" Zhike Monk's attitude is neither arrogant nor humble. As a monk, he has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements, and is not bound by secular rules.

"Get out of here!" Defoe pushed the monk away arrogantly and rushed in with his feet.

Zhike Monk was pushed to the ground, and before he could get up from the ground, he was beaten by several American soldiers.

Defoe did not participate in the beating, looked back, sneered, and continued walking inside.

There were quite a lot of monks at the Yasukuni Shrine, and soon a large group of monks came over, but they did not dare to stop the American soldiers who were beating the monks, and they dared not speak out in anger.

In the past, who would have dared to act wild in the Yasukuni Shrine? Not to mention beating up the Zhike monk, if he forced his way through the gate, he would be arrested by the police guarding near the gate. There was no need for the monk to come forward.

Now the situation is stronger than the people. These American soldiers are coming in a menacing manner. They are simply looking for trouble. If they are not handled well, there will be disaster.

But you can’t watch Zhike Monk being beaten.

This Zhike monk was also spineless. When he was beaten just now, he just huddled up on the ground with his head in his hands. Now when he saw more monks arriving, he started wailing unconsciously, hoping to get help from the monks.

"Gentlemen-" A monk who looked a little older and whose beard and eyebrows had turned gray stepped forward.

Defoe was probably getting more and more drunk at this time and could no longer control his words and actions.

Defoe didn't talk nonsense to the great monk. Before the great monk finished speaking, Defoe suddenly took out his pistol, put it directly on the great monk's forehead, and pulled the trigger with a grin.

Boom!

The gunfire was so loud that both the attacker and the one being beaten subconsciously stopped.

The great monk had a surprised expression on his face and the bloody hole on his forehead was shocking. He fell to the ground without saying a word.

"Master——" A younger monk rushed up, and Defoe raised his hand and shot again.

It was impossible to miss at such a close distance. Tom finally reacted at this time, threw Defoe to the ground, and snatched Defoe's gun away.

It's too late.

When Defoe fired the second shot, several other American soldiers also took out their guns and shot at the unsuspecting monks continuously, causing chaos at the scene.

"Calm down, don't shoot, don't shoot -" Tom seemed to realize something and stopped the American soldiers from taking excessive actions, trying to control the situation from escalating.

It was already too late. At this time, a blazing fire suddenly lit up in the distance. Tom looked up and saw that the hall dedicated to the soldiers who died in the war was burning.

Tom was extremely surprised. He and his men had not even entered the door of the Yasukuni Shrine, so who set the fire?

The monks didn't care about arguing with Tom, and ran towards the main hall, crying and shouting, hoping that something could be done.

Like the private houses in Kyoto, most of the buildings of the Yasukuni Shrine are made of wood. This thing is most afraid of fire. If it is lit, it will not burn out naturally.

That night, the Yasukuni Shrine suffered heavy losses. More than 90% of the building was burned down. About a hundred monks were injured to varying degrees, and 12 of them died.

After Aoi Shigemitsu learned about this situation, she found An Qi again, hoping that An Qi could protect the Yasukuni Shrine.

"It doesn't matter if I don't send people to burn down the entire Yasukuni Shrine, you actually expect me to provide protection for the Yasukuni Shrine. Do you have any misunderstandings about me?" An Qi laughed. This thing was done by Americans.

Even if you want to look for it, you have to look for MacArthur. It has nothing to do with Angel and the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

"General, please help us for the sake of our limited space." Shigemitsu Aoi did not bow this time, but knelt directly on the ground, asking for a lot.

"You still have the nerve to say that you are in a strip of water. Using this word here is an insult. Do you think I don't know where the Yasukuni Shrine is? I will completely destroy the Yasukuni Shrine, and then build a large-scale temple on the foundation of the shrine."

A magnificent church." Angel added insult to injury. The Americans were not thorough enough. The Marine Corps was far less efficient than the Air Force in setting fires.

As for the church, it really wasn’t Angel’s whim.

To completely conquer Japan, we must not only destroy Japan's social system and military power, but also completely destroy the confidence of the Japanese people.

Objectively speaking, Japanese students are those students who appear to have good grades but secretly often report to their teachers. Such students are the most troublesome.

Japanese people are still very fanatical in their beliefs. Without religious fanaticism, Japanese people would not be so enthusiastic about war, so it is better to convert to Catholicism. Some of the feudal dross of old Japan have already reached the time of elimination.

"General, you can't do that. It will greatly arouse the resistance of the Japanese people and is not conducive to the peaceful transformation of Japan." Aoi Shigemitsu said sincerely, not wanting An Qi to make a bigger mistake.

"resistance?!

!Haha——" An Qi sneered, he wished Japan would do that.

After the "End of War Edict" was released, most Japanese people accepted the result calmly, which made An Qi feel disappointed.

Isn’t it the promised “one hundred million pieces of jade”?

It's very un-Japanese to cease operations now after the slightest setback.

Angel hopes that the Japanese can resist to the end, so that the Southern African Expeditionary Force can gain more military glory.

After Japan surrendered, World War II was completely over. It is estimated that there will not be three wars in a short time. World War II can be regarded as the last carnival of all countries and soldiers. When the next war comes, we still don’t know what year or month it will be.

As for MacArthur——

MacArthur is not in the Lion City now. After the "End of War Edict" was published, MacArthur couldn't wait to go to Japan and started his second career as colonial governor with great ambition.

However, this governor was destined to be unsatisfactory. Even if the Russians did not succeed, Japan would be divided and ruled by southern Africa and the United States. MacArthur actually did not have much power.

After the world war is over, all countries will enter a state of post-war reconstruction, and the government's restrictions on the military will become stronger and stronger, and no conflicts between the military will be allowed.

Before the war was over, theater commanders like MacArthur had very great power and could resolve many issues with one word without asking Washington for instructions.

Now that the U.S. Congress will take back most of MacArthur's powers, even if MacArthur becomes governor-general in Japan, he will have to consult Washington first when encountering problems, which will be much more troublesome than before.

MacArthur would certainly not be willing to see power taken back, but he would not openly stop it.

After a while, MacArthur will shift his focus from East Asia back to the U.S. presidential election.

His most important task during this period was to complete the transformation of Japan.

This is inseparable from the cooperation of the Japanese government and the emperor.
