Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 104 Impressions of Osaka

   At noon on August 15, 1945, Tianhuang, the native kingdom who lived a good life, officially announced his unconditional surrender.

  Fang Lang waited early in front of the radio and witnessed this historic moment. After listening to the devil Tianhuang's speech on the radio, Fang Lang looked at his homeland in the west of Okinawa Island for a long time without saying a word.

  Although the United States has agreed to the participation of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force in the occupation of Japan, Fang Lang knew very well at that time that what the Americans wanted was to control Japan alone.

   Instead of being occupied by the allies as in Germany.

   Therefore, the United States has already clearly stipulated that the United States bears the main responsibility for providing the occupying force, and the commander of the occupying force and its main commanders should be Americans.

  After Japan announced its surrender, the U.S. government directly appointed MacArthur as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Japan. This order annoyed the Soviet Union and demanded that this post should be shared by Vasilevsky and MacArthur.

   It was directly rejected by the United States, and it was clearly stipulated that it would not engage in Germany's multinational occupation policy in Japan. In fact, it clarifies the policy of Japan's sole occupation by the United States.

  However, in order to make their appearance less ugly, the U.S. government also agreed that the allies can send troops to Japan, but they must obey the unified command of the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Japan, who is headed by MacArthur.

   Such a request is of course indifferent to a little brother like the Brazilian Expeditionary Army.

  This is absolutely unacceptable for the Soviet Union, which is the main force of the Allied Powers. Knowing that the Americans just want to bring in people to share the military expenses of the garrison, they cannot implement the management of the occupied areas.

   This kind of thankless thing was directly rejected by the Soviet government.

  Of course, the British government has already handed over the command of the Pacific Fleet to the United States, so it doesn't matter.

  As the main force against Japan, although the national government was also invited by the United States to station troops in Japan, at this time the national government was busy seizing territory in the country, so it had no time to pay attention.

  In the later period, in order to reduce the economic pressure of stationing troops in Japan, the United States also repeatedly asked the government to go to Japan to station troops. It is a pity that the government has no ability to transport troops to Japan.

  Nor can afford the military expenditure of the troops stationed in Japan. The U.S. government is unwilling to want to bear the burden, and it later turned into infinite wrangling.

   It was not until the United States finally agreed to provide equipment and supplies for the garrison that Chiang agreed to send the Honorary Second Division, which had participated in the Burma War, to Japan in August 1946.

  But because of the civil war provoked by Lao Jiang, this unit failed to make the trip, and was finally wiped out on the Huaihai battlefield.

  From the beginning to the end, Fang Lang never thought about stationing troops in Japan for a long time. He came here to make a fortune, not to strengthen the territory. Therefore, the interests that big countries need to consider have nothing to do with him.

  He also doesn’t want to be like Australia and New Zealand, really stationed in Japan to work for Americans.

  On August 28, the first batch of U.S. Marines landed in Yokosuka, and then 150,000 U.S. troops occupied the entire territory of Japan, and began to occupy Japan in the name of the Allied Occupation Forces.

   At 9:00 am on September 2, Japan officially signed the surrender agreement, and the Second World War officially ended.

  On September 5th, Fang Lang received an order from the Supreme Command of the Allied Forces in Japan to station in Osaka. More than 20 days have passed since Japan announced its surrender at this time.

   It has been a week since the U.S. military actually landed in Japan. It can be seen from this that the so-called joint occupation of Japan by allies in the United States is simply a joke.

   In a week, the good things have already been divided up by you Americans.

  After two days of sailing, Fang Lang led the House, the Hope, and the entire crew of the two supply ships to Osaka.

  When Fang Lang got off the boat and set foot on the land of Osaka, Fang Lang had mixed feelings in his heart, which was beyond description.

   Later generations Fang Lang has set foot in Osaka countless times, and even knows many customs areas in Osaka, no, they are scenic areas.

  But it was a completely different mood from when I landed in Japan with the army this time.

   Standing in place and looking at the dilapidated, almost scorched-earth Osaka, Fang Lang suddenly laughed.

  Laughed for almost three minutes, and finally cried out after the tears came out:

   "Little Japan, are you ready? I'm here."

   After speaking, in front of a group of inexplicable subordinates, he strode forward directly into downtown Osaka.

  Osaka at this time is a real ruin, and it is basically difficult to see complete buildings. Ragged Japanese people are everywhere.

   It's a pity that in Fang Lang's eyes, Fang Lang can't afford even a trace of pity. If they didn't initiate this war by themselves, how could there be today's consequences!

   At this time, many places in the country are more difficult than them, and people are more pitiful than them. Fang Lang wasn't in the mood to care about their lives.

  As they got deeper and deeper into the urban area of ​​Osaka, everyone finally began to see the occasional buildings with reinforced concrete structures.

  Japan is a country on the volcanic belt, so earthquakes are very frequent. Most of the buildings in Japan are low-rise wooden buildings, and wooden buildings are prone to fire, so they basically cannot survive the bombing.

  As long as this kind of reinforced concrete building is not directly hit, there is basically no need to worry about damage, so it can exist strong.

   Originally, the U.S. military asked the Brazilian expeditionary force to be stationed with the U.S. military, but Fang Lang refused. He came to make a fortune. How can he make a fortune under the eyes of you Americans all day long!

   Soon, the advance team in front of him came to report and found a suitable place to be stationed.

   This is a well-preserved school. When Fang Lang led people here, there was a group of students blocking the door, preventing the advance team from entering.

Fang Lang walked around the school, and it was indeed a very ideal place. The school has a complete wall, and only a sentry box needs to be set up at the school gate. Inside is a closed space. There is a playground for training, and the classrooms and dormitories are basically kept. whole.

   Then there is nothing to say, it is simply tailor-made, and there is no need to live in a tent anymore.

  If you come early, you may have to accept the surrender, and you may be able to live in a Japanese military camp.

  But the U.S. military has entered Osaka to accept the surrender a week ago. The barracks is where American soldiers are stationed. Fang Lang doesn't want to be stationed with them, so of course he needs to find another place to station.

  Since Fang Lang thought the place was good, he walked directly to the door blocked by the students.

  A group of unarmed students are confronting soldiers from the advance team of the Brazilian Marine Corps. Obviously, everyone is not allowed to expropriate the school.

   Fang Lang smiled, these students are a little ignorant of current affairs! But it is understandable when you think about it. After all, the Japanese people have been educated by the Japanese Communist Party for many years, and it is normal that they cannot accept the fact of surrender.

   Thinking about what the Japanese soldiers did in the country, Fang Lang's face darkened. Zhuang Xintian, the second lieutenant and platoon leader of the advance team, asked:

"what happened?"

  Zhuang Xintian is another brother who participated in the expedition with him, because he likes the first-line troops, so when he and Qi Qingshan were assigned to the First Fleet, he chose to join the Marine Corps.

   Now a second lieutenant platoon leader in the Marine Corps.

   "Report sir, these students are blocking our way and not allowing us to enter the school."

  Fang Lang asked nonchalantly:

   "What did they say, did they identify themselves?"

  Zhuang Xintian was taken aback for a moment, and said in embarrassment:

   "Report sir, we can't understand what they are saying."

   Staring at Fang Lang, he cursed angrily:

   "Don't understand? If you don't understand, how do you know they are students? Damn, don't you see that they are wearing uniforms? This is the rebel army, arrest them all."

  The Japanese school uniforms of this period are uniform shirts, trousers and jackets, which are actually somewhat similar to the uniforms of the Japanese army. Of course Fang Lang knew that they were students, but he wouldn't let their problems get used to them.

  Hearing Fang Lang's words, all the soldiers of the expeditionary army rushed up to arrest these students without hesitation. Of course, the students would not just catch them.

   Then there was a fierce conflict. These soldiers will not be soft on the Japanese who dare to resist. It's just a bayonet and a gun **** greeting.

   These students are all junior high school students, although they are not opponents of Brazilian soldiers. But everyone knows that young people are very impulsive, and it doesn't matter how serious it is to start a fight.

  Soon some students rushed into the classroom and took out the firearms they usually use in school education.

   Seeing that these students had guns, Fang Lang was taken aback. He didn't expect that the school had guns.

  But when both sides of the conflict have guns in their hands, they think the conflict will escalate.

   Sure enough, before Fang Lang could say anything, the soldiers of the Brazilian Expeditionary Army opened fire, and the students who took the guns at the first time were shot dead one after another.

  The students who were still fighting at the door stopped when they heard the gunshot.

  The soldiers of the expeditionary army, who were only greeted with gun stocks and bayonets, all loaded their bullets and opened the safety, and a slight movement would lead to a massacre.

  Although Fang Lang hated the Japanese, he never thought of killing these students, but was just going to teach them a hard lesson.

   Unexpectedly, there were guns in the school.

  Facing the muzzle of the black hole, the students finally calmed down.

   Fang Lang noticed a middle-aged man, about forty years old, limping out of the school.

  Looking at his legs, Fang Lang immediately judged that this was a retired wounded soldier.

  This bastard, has been hiding behind watching a group of junior high school students clashing with the army in front, and did not come out to stop it.

   Now that the students have suffered casualties, they are limping, grinning, and barking indiscriminately!

  Seeing this situation, Fang Lang's anger immediately came up, and he just shot without even thinking about raising his hand.

  The lame middle-aged man, who was still croaking just now, covered his chest with one hand, looked at Fang Lang with an expression of disbelief, and slowly knelt down on the ground.

   Then, he fell face down with a bang, twitched a few times and then became silent.

  The students gathered at the door were another commotion.

  However, instead of resisting this time, Qi Qi took a step back.
