Great time travel

Chapter 63. Departing from Japan
"... Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Facing the dawn, the long siren sounded the prelude to the voyage. The ocean cruise ship "Rukawa Maru", which was full of more than 9000 refugees, spewed billowing black smoke. Slowly sailed out of Osaka Port.

——The familiar city gradually fades away at the stern of the ship, and the world in front of me is getting wider and wider: the endless sea, the sparkling sea, the seagulls circling and flying on the mast, the bow breaks through the blue sea, and the snow-white waves The salty sea breeze is refreshing.

However, this is not a warm and pleasant journey of peace. Just looking at the many steel battleships flying the rising sun flag in front of and around, as well as the bomber fleet and fighter jet fleet flying overhead from time to time, one can know what lies ahead. The journey can be dangerous.

——The final destination of this huge fleet is the remote South Pacific Ocean...

And these war refugees who were accommodated on the cruise ship became armed immigrants for the Japanese government to enrich the Nanyang and Australian occupied areas.

In a sense, this is also a kind of tit for tat, eye for an eye—you smashed my house, and I will pay for it with yours!
Now that the Anglo-Saxons have destroyed their homes, they will live in the homes of the Anglo-Saxons with guns!

Standing in the cab of the cruise ship "Rukawa Maru", Lieutenant Colonel Erich Topp, the former Nazi German ace U-boat commander who had just been released from the prisoner-of-war camp, manipulated the steering wheel of the "Rukawa Maru" carelessly. I sigh in my heart that I have just survived an extremely cruel war, and I have to join another new war, and it is still a war that does not belong to me... It feels really boring.

But there is no other way, it has reached such a point, and we can only bite the bullet... Speaking of which, why are there wars between humans?From swords, guns and halberds, to the roar of artillery fire, to giant ships and fighter planes, the times are turning like wheels. Why do human beings fight?

Are they really just like animals, killing each other cruelly just to survive and reproduce, and to live better?
Looking at the vast sea, Captain Top thought about it absent-mindedly, feeling as if he had become a philosopher... No matter what, he finally sent a food parcel to his family before sailing. In addition to his first The monthly salary, as well as the saved candy ration, as well as the dried fish and canned beef from the ship's galley, presumably should allow the family to live a little better...

"...The reason why the United Fleet is going to Nanyang to fight is to live a better life for the Yamato people and to fight for the living space for the yellow race!"

In a restaurant on the cruise ship "Rukawa Maru", there was a sea of ​​refugees being boarded at this time. A one-armed retired old sailor who was blind in his left eye, wearing a somewhat worn-out navy uniform, was facing a picture hanging on the wall. A map of the Southwest Pacific Ocean, preaching loudly to everyone.

And the widow, Ms. Higurashi Suzune, who happened to be the turn of the wind, held the child in both hands, and sat opposite and listened attentively.

"...In the past, the army used to say that the lifeline of Manchuria was to conquer China, er, no, now it is called China, and everyone can live a good life. But in reality? In the past, the imperial army fought so much in China For many years, except for some income in Manchuria, even if it is occupied in other places, it will continue to lose money! Why? Because the land in East Asia has long been overcrowded, over-developed, and resources have long been exhausted. Now China, apart from Manchuria, can still be regarded as Apart from being fertile and rich, most of the land is so barren that the Chinese people living there can’t even support themselves! The land looks huge, but in fact most of it is a desert with no grass, Gobi with only stones, Suffocating mountains and plateaus...Even if the land in Manchuria is not bad, the winter there is colder and harsher than in Hokkaido. It is simply the army's horse manure wasting resources indiscriminately for military merit..."

"...So..." The old sailor raised his voice, "...Japan wants to gain living space, and the right way is to conquer Nanyang!"

"...Compared to the cold Manchuria and the barren China, the climate in Nanyang is warm and humid. It is spring and summer all year round, and there will be no cold winter. The ocean there is the best fishing ground in the world. Just cast your net a few times You can catch a lot of fat tuna. The Nanyang islands are full of fertile land. The indigenous monkeys there don’t need to work hard. Just throw the seeds down, and the fruits and rice will grow by themselves...

Before the war broke out, Japan’s sugar supply had been rationed, but Nanyang produced sugar that all the Japanese could not eat with their stomachs open, as well as cocoa beans used to make chocolate, and all kinds of sweet-smelling and delicious food. good spice...

Australia and New Zealand in the south not only have kangaroos, but also high-quality cattle and sheep everywhere. The white people who immigrated there can eat meat as a meal, and even pour the endless milk into the river, but refuse to eat it. Give us Japanese a taste!Now these cattle and sheep belong to us! "

Under the attention of everyone, the old sailor took out a new promotional brochure issued by the wartime base camp, which contained "color photos" that were very rare in this era, showing the richness of Nanyang and Australia to everyone—the first photo It is a net full of fresh fish of various colors spread out on the deck of a certain fishing boat; the second photo is a dark-skinned Filipino worker standing beside a huge pile of sugar like a hill with a smile; Tempting exquisite candies and chocolates; the fourth photo is a picture of a tropical sea view resort composed of coconut groves, beaches, blue sea, sun umbrellas, cocktails, bikini beauties and seaside cabins; the fifth photo is a giant slaughterhouse with assembly line operations, Beef cows hung from one end of the workshop to the other after being slaughtered and awaiting processing... There is also a photo at the end of workers in blue uniforms pouring buckets of milk into the river...

——Of course, in order to achieve the best deceptive effect, the content of this brochure is basically to do everything possible, such as the tropical sea view from a resort in the Maldives in the 21st century, the attractive candies and The chocolate is an advertising picture of a candy company in the 21st century. The picture of pouring milk into the river is actually a screenshot of a movie reflecting the Great Depression in the United States. The "little problem" that they can't meet... However, no one present at the moment knows this.

On the contrary, each of them believed it was true, and all of them saw it with bright eyes.After a while, I was flushed with embarrassment by the hot bikini beach girls in the photos. Although I was saying "immoral" in my mouth, there were countless ants crawling in my heart.After a while, I was tempted to salivate by the sweets and delicacies in the photos—in Japan before World War II, even sugar was not something ordinary people could buy casually, and sweets were a rare luxury.And when they saw the photo of pouring a bucket of milk into the river, this kind of reckless behavior made them excited for a while.

Then, the retired navy soldier continued to speak eloquently, saying that so many delicious and delicious things provided to refugees these days, some of them are aided by the Soviet Union (in fact, there are basically none), but more of them are from the joint navy. The supplies that the fleet has worked so hard to get from Nanyang (a little but not much), and all your eating and drinking these days are all due to the compatriots who have gone to Nanyang to work hard.However, there is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world. If you want to live such a good life with plenty of food and clothing every day for the rest of your life, and even let your children and grandchildren enjoy the blessings from generation to generation, you should go to Nanyang and Australia to work hard...that place is so beautiful Prosperity, as long as everyone has courage and perseverance, you will not worry about not having a good life...

"...In short, Manchuria is doomed to be lost now, and North Korea and Taiwan cannot be kept. Thank God for being able to recover the mainland. The army who advocates the mainland policy all day long is worth fighting for so many years. But it doesn’t matter, we still have Nanyang and Australia, which were conquered by the navy. The territory there is much larger and richer than Taiwan, North Korea and Manchuria combined. As long as we hold and develop them, everyone will have a bright future. The future of Japan! Think about what you eat these days, and you should be able to understand! The future of Japan lies in Australia and Southeast Asia!"

The old sailor waved his fist and incited, "...Immigrate to the southern hemisphere and celebrate the New Year every day! Open up the living space of our nation!"

Under the mobilization of the previous speech, many refugees in the restaurant also became excited, and they all responded and booed:

"...Yes! Immigrate to the southern hemisphere and celebrate the New Year every day! The Japanese navy is on board!"

"...Japan's future lies in Australia and Southeast Asia! Everyone must work hard after the past!"

"...Open up the living space of our nation! The imperial kingdom has eight crests and one universe, and the martial arts will last forever!"

……

Listening to the slogans and speeches that seemed to be "politically incorrect" from the propagandists sent by the United Fleet, the political commissars of "Rukawa Maru" couldn't help feeling a little flustered.But in fact, he was only highly educated, and was pulled in by the "academic faction" of the Japanese Communist Party. He joined the Japanese Communist Party urgently for less than three months, and then he was sent on a cruise ship without caring about how to learn theoretical knowledge. "Rukawa Maru" served as a political commissar and was criticized many times because of his poor knowledge of navigation technology, so when he encountered such a situation, he didn't know what to do for a while.

In short, after hesitating for a moment, this unqualified rookie political commissar decided to use the omnipotent method of the bureaucracy - pretending not to know, and then changing the subject - only to see him stepping forward and pushing away the The one-eyed retired sailor posted a picture of a kangaroo on the wall, and started a lecture on popular science knowledge in the southern hemisphere: "...Many of you here may know that this thing is the most famous specialty in Australia, the kangaroo. But most people I'm afraid they don't know that except for the kangaroo tail, the meat of other parts of the kangaroo body is rich in urea, which is very, very smelly. Without special treatment, ordinary people can't eat it at all. So everyone went there After that, don’t just hit kangaroos and eat them..."
