Chapter 231 The Price of War
Once these photos are in the hands of foreigners, Japan will face great international pressure, and may even make Japan have to give up the war - and Japan has seen the dawn of victory in the war!
Sure enough, as soon as Kamei Ziming developed these photos, the headquarters of the First Division sent an order ordering him to hand over the photos and negatives unconditionally.
Zumiaki Kamui made a bold decision.
He did not hand over the photos, but mixed in a transport ship to Incheon overnight and fled to North Korea.
In fact, this decision of Kamei is contradictory.
As a Japanese citizen, he can't make these photos public out of his national responsibility to safeguard national interests, which will put Japan in extreme danger.
However, as a professional journalist, he can't destroy the photos that record the truth with his own hands, which is contrary to his professional principles!
He fled to North Korea and waited for him in an endless pursuit.
The Japanese military declared him a traitor to the country, and the headquarters in North Korea was ordered to want him.
Seoul couldn't stay any longer. Kamei had to go north, cross the Linjin River and flee to northern North Korea.
However, in northern North Korea, he was hunted down by local North Koreans. North Koreans hate the Japanese so much that they will not let go of any single Japanese.
Zumiaki Kamei has become a homeless dog without a motherland!
However, he is still unwilling to hand over the photos, neither to the Japanese authorities nor to any foreigner!
With this contradictory idea, there is only one way to escape and wait for him.
Outside Anzhou, he was hunted down by a group of unidentified North Koreans and shot twice. With his last breath, he hid these photos under an elm tree, and then led the pursuers away and calmly waited for death.
He doesn't know why he did this. He can only hope that God can process these photos in the best way for him.
Perhaps, in another 50 or a hundred years, when people find these photos, they can forgive Japan's sins with a tolerant heart and remember this scar. This is the extravagant hope of Kamei!
However, he did not die.
An army of Qing and North Koreans saved him.
1 1992,
Five days after Zhou Charter left Anzhou, Kamei woke up.
Zumiaki Kamei is not face-to-face with Zhou Charter, but he is no stranger to Zhou Charter and Zhang Jun.
This strange army wiped out Japan's most elite mixed brigade, forced Yamagata Youpeng to completely withdraw from the military and political circles, ending the political and military life of Yamagata Aritomo.
At that time, Kazuaki Kamei was in the headquarters of Youpeng in Shanxian County and witnessed the fury and helplessness of Youpeng in Shanxian, who was desperate by Zhou Charter.
Kamei Tsumei suddenly had a strong desire to live.
He wants to see with his own eyes the commander of Zhang Jun, who seems to live in the legend. Zhou Charter, who was unknown before the war, has now become a person who shocked the world. This is an interview opportunity that no reporter wants to let go. Although, strictly speaking, he is no longer a journalist, the Japanese government has declared him a traitor, and his interviews will never be reported in the press.
However, he seemed to forget this cruel reality, and he even forgot the photo hidden under the old elm tree.
He began to actively cooperate with the treatment, and soon his body completely recovered.
Kamei, who has recovered, is full of vitality and is eagerly looking forward to the return of Zhou Charter.
For the safety of Kamei, Han Lingjun, the governor of Anzhou, placed him on the Guanhai Tower. In the Battle of Anzhou, the superstructure of Guanhai Tower was basically destroyed, but the foundation of the whole building was still there. After Han Lingjun took over Anzhou, he repaired the Guanhai Tower fortress, restored the north and south forts, and repaired the core Guanhai Tower, deploying his troops in the fortress, which became a barracks. Of course, it is also the most important in Anzhou. For a safe place.
Han Lingzhun's government office is in Anzhou City, but he often comes to visit Kamui. Of course, the so-called visit is more appropriate than surveillance. Kamei Ziming felt that Han Ling was hostile to him.
Kamei Tsumei did not hide the identity and name of his war correspondent from Han Lingjun. He just didn't reveal the photos.
Han Lingzhun took good care of the life of Tsumei Kamei. Except that he was not allowed to leave the Guanhai Tower, in the whole fortress, Kamei was unrestrained and had no worries about food and clothing.
Han Lingzhun told Kamui Ziming that this was all according to Zhou Charter's instructions. If he had done his own wishes, he would have been slaughtered and thrown out to feed the dog!
Han Lingzhun told Keimei that Prime Minister Zhou Charter respected him as a scholar and could not bear to kill him. This surprised Kamei. Respect for scholars is a tradition of the Qing Dynasty, but this tradition of the Qing Dynasty does not seem to apply to foreigners, especially Japanese! Since the beginning of the war, the Qing army has always killed the captured Japanese on the spot.
This weekly charter is very unique.
In the daytime, Han Lingzhun came once. He told Kamui Ziming that Zhou Charter's mother and sister had arrived in Anzhou and were about to go to Pyongyang. It seemed that Zhou Charter might come to Anzhou to meet him at any time.
This made Tsuaki Kamei very excited.
The door behind him creaked.
Someone came in, and Kazuaki Kamei's heart moved. Could it be Zhou Charter?
Kamei Tsumei hurriedly turned around and his body was fixed on the spot.
Walking into the door turned out to be a Japanese colonel officer.
Kamei thought he was dreaming and rubbed his eyes.
However, he heard the long-lost Japanese: "Mr. Kamei, you are not dreaming."
Before Tsuaki Kamui could react, two Japanese soldiers in Japanese uniform rushed to him and grabbed his neck.
"You are Kamio-kun!" Kamei Ziming let out a low exclamation from his throat.
"Yes, I'm Guangchen Shenwei. We once had a friendship at the headquarters of the First Army in Seoul."
"What are you doing here?"
"Mr. Guijing, you should know our purpose." Shenwei Guangchen said, "Please give me the photo."
"Sorry, I don't have any photos." Tsuaki Kamei said.
Kumi Mitsumi said, "Mr. Kamei, I understand your mood and your position better! You brought the photos to North Korea, but until now, these photos have not been reported. This means that you didn't give the photo to anyone! You are maintaining the reputation of the Empire of Japan! This shows that you have not betrayed Japan! However, as a journalist, you can't bear to destroy those photos that record the truth.
Zumiaki Kame nodded: "Thank you for your understanding."
"No, I can't understand!" Mitsumi Kamio said, "On the contrary, I implore Mr. Kamei to understand that the price of war is not just death! A war at the cost of death is actually not cruel.
"I don't understand."
"The price of war is not only life, but also human beliefs, ideas and feelings!" Shenwei Guangchen said in a low voice: "Similarly, the sacrifices required to safeguard national interests are not only life, but also personal beliefs, ideas and feelings! Mr. Kamei, the national interest of the Empire of Japan, needs you to hand over the photos! The greatest sacrifice is not life, but faith!"
"I can't agree with you!" Kamei Ziming gritted his teeth and said.
"I'm sorry! Now I'm not commenting on the outlook on life in the night salon in Tokyo!" As soon as Shenwei Mitsutomi waved his hand, the two soldiers stuffed a towel into Kamui's mouth and set him out of the room.
There is a narrow aisle outside, and the bodies of two Zhang soldiers are lying at the door, and their throats have been cut off.
Shenwei Guangchen's action team, all of whom are specially trained agents, are clean and neat.
Shenwei Guangchen walked quickly in front of him. After a while, he came to the women's wall on the south side of the Guanhai Tower. Xiangye Jianichiro took two soldiers and crawled on the women's wall. Under the corner of the wall, there was a dark hole.
This is what Lu Wenjun said about the mezzanine outlet. At the beginning, Zhou Charter's shelling did not destroy this mezzanine.
"Where is Lu Wenjun?" Shenwei Mitsumi asked.
"He went back to the beach and said he wanted to contact the transport ship first."
"Eight grids!" Shenwei Guangchen cursed in a low voice, "He is looking for a way out for himself first!" North Koreans are cowardly!"
"Mr. Shenwei, he is from Kim Hongji. The base camp ordered us to have a good relationship with Kim Hongji. After all, Kim Hongji is one of the few North Koreans who sincerely cooperate with us." Xiang No Kenichiro said.
"Not necessarily!" Shenwei Guangchen sneered, said, waved his hand and got into the hole.
Kenichiro Mukino and other Japanese soldiers escorted Tsuaki Kamei and followed Mitsuo Mitsumi in. After a while, they slid to the bottom of the Guanhai Tower and drilled out of the mezzanine. Outside, there were piles of rubble. Two Japanese soldiers were lying on the rubble piles to warn. Seeing Shino Mitsumi come out, they quickly stood up.
Suddenly, hearing the sirens on the Guanhai Tower, a bunch of searchlights shone down from the Guanhai Tower and shone on the rubble pile. Shenwei Guangchen and his soldiers were exposed to the aperture of the searchlight.
The dense gunfire broke the tranquility of Guanhai Tower. A soldier was shot in the head and fell on a pile of rubble. The bullet fluttered beside the god-tailed light minister. Shenwei Guangchen raised his rifle, aimed at the searchlight and pulled the trigger, and the searchlight went out.
A group of Zhang soldiers rushed down the Guanhai Tower and crawled on the rubble on the spot.
"Mr. Xiangye, withdraw quickly!" Shenwei Guangchen shouted.
"Mr. Kamio, my life was saved by Misaki! I should follow them!" Kenichiro Kono said, raised his gun and shot, and a Zhangjun soldier fell to the ground.
Shenwei Guangchen sighed and led everyone to the seaside.
Being, the gunfire was like fried beans. Mitsuomi Kamio knew that Kenichiro Mukino could not support it for too long. They can only speed up and rush to the beach to pick up their boats and light them up there.
Sure enough, not long after, with a roar, the gunshots on the rubble pile suddenly stopped.
Kenichiro Xiangno pulled the grenade on his body! Like Misaki, he died in the country!
Countless Zhangjun soldiers came from Guanhai Tower and the north and south forts, and the bullets whizzed beside Shenwei Guangchen.
The soldier who escorted Tsumei Kamei was shot and fell to the ground.
Kamei Tsumei got rid of the shackles and ran away to the pine forest.
Kaomi Mitsumi raised his rifle and pulled the trigger on the back of Tsuaki Kamei.
