The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 602 Everyone Arrives (Two-in-One Chapter)

Time: 1:32 PM on the 4th day of this rest period.

Location: In the detached house of the Mikami family.

With a 'click', the door, which had been closed four days earlier, was finally opened, and Annie stepped out.

Looking at the green plants in the yard, scattered and broken by the strong wind, and even a cherry blossom tree that had been uprooted,

Anne couldn't help but mutter "Goodness" to herself.

This storm, which was originally supposed to make landfall on the coast of eastern Guangdong Province, suddenly and miraculously changed course and quickly made landfall in the Kyushu region of the island nation. It did not last long.

It didn't last even two or three days, but after raging for a day and a half, it gradually subsided.

However, the damage caused to the island nation was by no means small; because there was absolutely no prior warning, it could even be said to be the most destructive event the island nation has experienced in nearly a century.

According to the news report, based on incomplete preliminary statistics...

In this major storm, more than 30,000 people died, more than 4100 went missing, and millions were left homeless in the island nation.

In addition to some residential buildings, a large number of roads, bridges, various public facilities, and even some military bases were severely damaged.

The initial estimate of direct losses is no less than 30 trillion yen, and the indirect losses are likely to be even greater.

While Dongjingcheng was not in the eye of the storm and suffered relatively less damage, it was still only slightly less.

It is precisely because of this that flights at the airport have resumed one by one today; this afternoon, Hu Biao and his group will arrive in the island nation by plane.

The next thing to do, naturally, was to prepare to stir things up.

Apart from Annie, the number of people in the time-traveling team who had previously visited the island nation was relatively limited.

Or to put it another way, most of them are country bumpkins like Hu Biao who have never even left the country; upon arriving in the island nation, they are probably quite inconvenient in terms of movement.

Under such circumstances, it was natural for Annie to pick her up from the airport.

This was not a problem for Anne at all.

She still has a mustache, but now she wears a large baseball cap and black-rimmed glasses.

If you go out in this kind of appearance, you won't be recognized if you're careful and discreet.

After all, the man with the mustache had been dead for 80 years. With a little disguise, it would be difficult for modern people to recognize him and associate him with such a terrifying figure.

So Anne planned to use this disguise to first find a bus, then drive it to the parking lot outside the airport and wait.

All you need to do is send the location to Hu Biao, and then let Hu Biao mention it in the group chat.

Once the group of time travelers arrived, they simply found a place to get on the bus.

Anyway, their high-tech smartwatches have powerful real-time translation capabilities; just ask an airport staff member and you'll be able to find the place.

But when Annie walked out the door, she had an expression of extreme annoyance.

A sob came from behind her. There stood Mikami, tears streaming down his face, looking at her pitifully, and making another request:
"Little Mustache, can't you just stay here?"

If you absolutely must go, please take me with you. I'll take you with me no matter what we do; even if you want to kill the Sky Locust, I can be your second-in-command.

Faced with such a request, Annie was utterly speechless.

Damn it! She hasn't done anything in the past few days.

Simply because I wanted to make Mikami more obedient and prevent him from causing trouble, I used some methods that are inconvenient to write about and that I doubt anyone would want to read about, when dealing with this retired teacher.

Otherwise, how could a girl like her really have sex three times?

So, what's the result? Mikami has been very well-behaved and obedient these past few days, but perhaps a little too well-behaved.

More accurately, she exhibited strong symptoms of Stockholm syndrome; that is, she was hopelessly in love with Anne's fake mustache and was willing to do anything for it.

Good heavens! Mikami has fallen for a mustache? What kind of bizarre script is this?
Shaking her head to clear away the most absurd thoughts from her mind, Annie turned back and cursed fiercely:

"Bitch! Shut up and stop having those ridiculous fantasies."

Women are nothing but burdens that hinder my revival of my great empire. How could I possibly take you with me, and I have absolutely no feelings for you?

I only stayed a little longer because the weather was so terrible these past few days; anything I did was purely out of boredom.

After cursing fiercely, Annie thought about how she had not only eaten and stayed at their place over the past few days, but had also beaten them quite a bit, and she felt a little sorry for them.

She added another sentence, her voice unconsciously softening:
"Since there is still enough food at home, you should stay at home for three days before going out to avoid any unnecessary dangers."

After saying that, Annie closed the door behind her and strode away.

Therefore, she didn't see that Mikami, with a happy expression on his face, muttered to himself, "Mustache-san is actually a man who looks fierce on the outside but has a soft heart."

By the time Annie had left the courtyard, Mikami had already opened the gate, poked his head out, and shouted at her retreating figure:
"I hid the key in the flowerpot by the door. I will wait for you to come back, I will keep waiting for you to come back."

Upon hearing this, Anne stumbled and nearly fell flat on her face...

At 3:07 PM, at Haneda Airport in Japan, Hu Biao handed over a vegetable basket he was carrying to a Japanese security officer.

They seemed completely unconcerned that the other side would discover that the bamboo basket contained enough weapons and ammunition to start a small battle.

In fact, Hu Biao had nothing to worry about.

The seemingly rustic vegetable basket in front of me is actually an exclusive item that only time travelers can use.

After receiving the bamboo basket, the island nation's security personnel found it to be very light and almost weightless. They glanced inside but saw nothing.

Instantly, the last shred of doubt in his heart was completely dispelled.

As Hu Biao, now disguised as a white-skinned man, handed back the shopping basket along with his passport (which appeared to be a tourist visa), he said with a warm smile:
"Sir! Welcome to our island nation. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful trip here."

Thinking about my goal for this trip to the island nation, and the process that was destined to be wonderful.

Hu Biao almost blurted out a phrase in Northeastern dialect, "That's not true," but thankfully he managed to hold it back and replaced it with fluent English:

"Oh, I'm so done!"

Twenty minutes later, Hu Biao boarded a 'Hi-Maru' bus parked in a corner of the airport parking lot.

Perhaps it was because of the foreign environment that she missed her husband so much.

Annie rushed towards Hu Biao immediately, throwing herself into his arms, hooking her arms around his neck and wrapping her legs around his waist.

Then, as if they had thought of something, the two separated at the speed of light.

The way they looked at each other was filled with utter disgust.

There's no way around it! Both of them are currently disguised as white men, and Annie even has a mustache. Just thinking about the feeling of the two of them embracing in this position is incredibly awful.

After an awkward silence, Hu Biao started making conversation, as if trying to find something to say:

"Boss lady! The guys in the team have been clamoring that since you're practically a local here in Japan, you have to treat everyone to a big meal tonight."

After eating, you'll also get to experience the decadent nightlife of capitalism.

So what are you planning to treat everyone to when the time comes? You can't exactly treat them all to sushi, can you? What's so good about that?"

After a moment's thought, Annie, who was quite familiar with island nations, answered confidently:
"Let's eat shabu-shabu! It's a kind of hot pot from an island nation where you slice abalone and lobster into thin slices and cook them in the broth. It tastes pretty good."

After eating, we'll go to a bar in Ginza for a drink.

Just find a bar on a higher floor, and you can see the East China Tower, which the Japanese were so proud of, through the window; although I really don't think that dilapidated tower is anything special, at least you can see it.

Given Annie's spoiled palate, since Hu Biao has spoiled her, if she says that 'shabu-shabu hot pot' is good, it must be pretty good too.

However, after hearing about 'abalone and lobster', Hu Biao immediately asked a crucial question: "What the hell is this? How much does it cost per person for a meal? I mean, in RMB?"

Annie: "It's shabu, not shabi. It depends on how you eat. If you order top-grade Wagyu beef and want to be full, it'll easily cost over ten or twenty thousand yuan per person; if you just eat seafood, it'll be cheaper, around five or six thousand."

Anyway, after signing the endorsement contract last time, the brand treated us to dinner, and the four of us spent over 100,000 yuan on the meal.

To maintain my composure and image in front of the brand, I only ate until I was about 20% full. Back at the hotel, I even had the kitchen send me two bowls of noodles to barely fill my stomach.

Upon hearing this answer, Hu Biao's teeth started to ache terribly.

The main thing he realized was that with all the members of the transmigrator team being such big eaters, if they really ordered top-quality Wagyu beef for hot pot, they could easily spend over 100,000 yuan per person.

With so many people added together, that's at least three million.

When he thought of this number, he felt a pang of heartache.

Although the spoils brought back from the last Battle of C were unprecedentedly rich, with an initial estimate that each person could easily receive tens of millions, it still felt reluctant to part with such a large sum of money.

With just a little more money, you could buy a high-spec G-Class and complete all the registration procedures; but then you end up spending the money on a meal, what a waste!

He scratched the back of his head and pondered for a while, then seemed to have an idea and made a suggestion:
"I was thinking, why don't we just eat yakitori? It's a specialty of Japan, and I've heard that many yakitori restaurants in Japan are doing quite well."

The key point is that I heard it costs about 200 yuan per person, so five servings would only cost 1,000 yuan.

If they're still not full, then serve them a few more bowls of eel rice each; two thousand per person should be enough to fill them up.

Also, there's no need to go to the bars in Ginza; what's so interesting about that dilapidated East Tower? Go to the izakayas on the street, and you can experience the island nation's nightlife just as well.

I happened to come across a place online that supposedly has two beautiful sisters who wear kimonos and can even have a few drinks with you.

After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival is just over two weeks away.

We'll be going to Shanghai first, then back to our hometown in Hunan Province; we might as well use the money we save to buy more gifts for my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and for my dad and Lao Ma.”

“Honey! I’ll listen to you,” Annie said, her eyes lighting up.

Just then, a voice rang out: "You two, you deadbeat and the landlady, what are you talking about that makes you so happy?"

The two turned their heads and saw that it was Old Ma disguised as Kato Ei. That's right! It was that powerful Japanese man who was known for having devil fingers and making countless teachers cry.

He was carrying a vegetable basket in his left hand and a suitcase for show in his right, and he was now brazenly walking onto the bus.

Upon hearing this, Hu Biao immediately launched into a string of lies:

"It's a rare opportunity for you to come to our island nation, so I'm just discussing with Annie how to properly entertain you."

It's all decided, we're going out for yakitori and eel rice tonight.

The yakitori is tender and juicy, with a smoky aroma; the eel rice has a crispy exterior and is rich in oil, making it an absolute must-try when served with the sauce.

Compared to Japanese sushi, it tastes much better and is more in line with the tastes of Chinese people.

After dinner, find a traditional izakaya (Japanese pub). The owners are supposedly twin sisters in kimonos who will drink with you, giving you a real taste of Japanese nightlife.

With a shout of "Squeeze!", Old Ma gave a thumbs-up, his eyes shining, looking quite expectant...

In the following time, members of a team of time travelers, disguised in different ways, boarded the bus, either alone or in groups of two or three.

When it was about 6 p.m., the four people who were furthest away—the warehouse manager, Uncle Bo, Van Gogh, and Zanana—also got on the bus.

Once everyone had arrived, Annie set off immediately.

The group embarked on a unique island sightseeing tour; what made it unique was the dinner, which everyone found quite enjoyable.
Annie drove the bus to Shinjuku Ward and parked it.

He led the group of about thirty people to a small shop that was inexpensive but had decent food, serving both yakitori and eel rice.

Although yakitori sounds fancy, it's really just grilled chicken.

The grilling was done well, and apart from the lantern dish which I really couldn't get used to, the rest tasted alright.

As for the eel rice, although the eel is 100% imported from Fujian and Guangdong provinces in China, the fatty eel meat with sauce on top of the rice is quite delicious.

After dinner, everyone was fairly full.

But that "Sisters' Izakaya" is a bit of a rip-off.

The proprietresses were two beautiful sisters dressed in kimonos, and they were indeed drinking with them; however, the term "beautiful" referred to them thirty or forty years ago.

In fact, while everyone was drinking sake, two elderly women in their sixties or seventies, wearing heavy makeup and kimonos, kept raising their sake cups in front of everyone.

Annie, Mina, Xiao Cui, and Zanana, the other two, all smiled and raised their glasses with the two island nation ladies.

One by one, the men raised their glasses, silently drank the sake, and the expressions on their faces were quite fascinating.

In short, due to great disappointment, the drinking session, which was originally planned to last until 11 o'clock, ended abruptly before 10 o'clock.

Then the group went to a mid-range hotel and each booked a room.

They gathered in Hu Biao's room for a meeting that lasted about an hour, making some final arrangements and adjustments; after redistributing the weapons and equipment they had brought, everyone returned to their respective rooms.

After I've rested and recovered, I'll begin my journey tomorrow morning.

Then the question arises? In this operation to stir up trouble,

Shouldn't Hu Biao and his men have taken advantage of the dead of night to launch a surprise attack on the Q Bureau's branch in Japan? That would have made it easier for them to succeed and burn it to the ground.
In this regard, it can only be said that it is indeed easier to succeed at night.

However, most of the staff had already gone home by this time, so a surprise attack wouldn't have been very effective, and it wouldn't have been able to inflict enough damage on the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

Therefore, Hu Biao and his men chose to strike hard when they had more men and were at their strongest.

******
The next morning, after having ramen for breakfast, everyone set off in different ways, including taking taxis, buses, subways, borrowing cars, and renting cars.

Although they used different modes of transportation, they were heading to the same place.

Specifically, it is 1-chome of Toranomon in Higashikeisho Port Ward.

This place is not only a strategic special zone and commercial hub of the island nation, but also the location of Uncle Sam's family's Grand S building in the island nation, and even the location of the China Q Bureau's branch in the island nation.

According to the information Anne obtained from Bill, the squad leader of the Central Q Bureau's operations unit:

Just a few hundred meters to the left of Uncle Sam's Big S building, there is a 13-story building that looks unremarkable on the outside.

This 13-story building is entirely the territory of the China Q Bureau's branch in Japan.

Occupying an entire building, naturally, is because the size of the China Q Bureau's Japanese branch far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people, with more than 2000 employees.

Besides the intelligence agents and operatives that everyone is familiar with, the majority of these employees are actually propaganda personnel.

It's like they're collecting intelligence on the island nation and monitoring things outside of it.

They also maintained contact with journalists, editors, news broadcasters, commentators, and renowned scholars in island nation media, providing them with information for writing and reporting.

The mainstream voice in the island nation has been subtly promoting the strength and goodness of Uncle Sam's country.

In addition to the military deterrence of stationing troops, this is another powerful means for Uncle Sam to influence and control the island nation in terms of its spirit.

This two-pronged approach is the main reason why the island nation has been dutifully serving Uncle Sam's family for the past few decades.

However, today, the time travelers have arrived at various locations in Toranomon 1-chome through various means, waiting for the time to carry out their mission.

The China Q Bureau's branch in the island nation is destined to suffer a devastating blow.

As for how much damage the Japanese will suffer and how much they will lose, that depends on whether they are quick-witted or not.

The primary target of this operation is naturally the bastards of the China Q Bureau.

However, if the Japanese soldiers are foolish enough to get involved, don't blame Hu Biao and his men for using their methods to take care of them as well...
