Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 225 Non-mainstream
The subtitle of this chapter: The madness of flowers and the cudgel of gods.
"Yamamoto-kun, Inoue-kun, what do you think of that China... um, the Chinese?"
The three Japanese soldiers sat in the car in silence until Colonel Yoshisaburo Nomura spoke up and broke the silence.
"The amazing one!" Major Narumi Inoue blurted out.
But according to the Japanese's rotten habits and rules, he should speak after his senior and his superior Yamamoto Isoroku. So Inoue Narumi looked at the two of them guiltily and didn't say anything else.
Yamamoto Isoroku didn't mind and said in an encouraging tone: "It's okay, Inoue-kun, go ahead and say it."
"Hey, then I am overstepping my authority." He was a scumbag anyway, so he nodded and saluted in Japanese style, and continued, "I think the two seniors also feel the same way. Yuan Yanshu is a bit of a curiosity..."
On the surface, the Japanese are well-behaved all day long. Not only in the officialdom and workplace, but also in daily life, there are a lot of unwritten but strictly followed bad habits and bad rules. If someone breaks these things intentionally or unintentionally, he will be isolated, even hostile and even bullied.
This is why Japan’s suicide rate is so high, there are so many perverts, and school violence is so common.
But then again, this is not the so-called "nationality", but the remnant of the feudal hierarchy with oriental characteristics.
Look at the two Koreas. Although they seem to be different, their internal hierarchy is quite strict. Not to mention North Korea, South Korea's habit of ranking people by seniority is even worse than that of Japan.
If we look at the contemporary literary works written by writers of the Republic of China, such as Lu Xun's Diary of a Madman, The True Story of Ah Q and The Xianglin's Wife, Ba Jin's Family Chronicle, Mao Dun's Rural Trilogy, Cao Yu's Thunderstorm, and so on, we can feel that the entire social environment at that time was quite depressing.
Fortunately or "unfortunately", compared with the Korean and Japanese people, Seres really experienced a great revolution of unprecedented scale, depth and breadth, and really swept away many feudal remnants... Of course, a hundred years later, some people called it "traditional culture". These people still want the new generation of Seres to grow up reading "The Rules of Being a Good Pupil" and "The Admonitions for Women".
There is a saying that goes, either explode in silence or perish in silence.
In fact, the Japanese, or more precisely, the people of East Asia, have a restless heart deep in their hearts. They especially envy those who do not care about the outside world's views and break the rules. Such people are called "madmen" in China and "strange people" in Japan.
The so-called eccentrics are those who are "non-mainstream" with strange words, deeds, manners, dress and ideas. Another masterpiece of Tetsuo Hara, one of the authors of "Fist of the North Star", is "Hana no Keiji", which describes the famous eccentric Maeda Keiji in the Warring States Period.
In fact, Maeda Keiji learned from his uncle, "Kinki Yujin" Maeda Toshiie, who was deeply influenced by "The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven" Oda Nobunaga.
It’s true that our Master Yuan is a bit like these “non-mainstream” people who are “crazy about flowers”.
"Nomura-senpai, what do you think?"
The colonel hesitated for a moment and said, "I think he is Zhuge Kongming of ancient China... well, more like a wise man like Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe."
Yoshisaburo Nomura's vision and knowledge of Chinese studies are not bad. Compared with Zhuge Liang, Yuan Yanshu's performance is less upright, but has the evil spirit of a "poisonous scholar".
"What a pity..." He sighed and said, "He is not one of us Japanese, and he actually believes in the Western barbarians' theories."
"Yamamoto-kun, what do you think?"
"Arnold (this)..."
As a person who has left a strong mark in history, Yamamoto Isoroku naturally has his own extraordinary qualities, that is, he has a natural intuition. Otherwise, he would not be known as a "gambler".
His intuition told him that the Chinese man was not that simple, at least not someone who could be seen through in just one meeting.
"I think we need to observe him for a while. Well, we should focus on observing him."
Nomura Kichisaburo nodded in agreement, "That's true. And we need to report his discovery as soon as possible. But..."
"Do you think the ideas he mentioned are really feasible?"
Inoue Narumi hesitated and said, "It's a good idea to use newspapers and magazines to launch a propaganda war, but those 'radio stations' and 'movies' are really... I don't really know much about them."
"So what about Yamamoto-kun?"
Yamamoto Isoroku smiled bitterly and said slowly: "I feel that no matter how hard we try, we can't save the Anglo-Japanese Alliance..."
"What's this?"
Mr. Little Chandler stared at Master Yuan's right hand. Just now, a palm-sized piece of paper suddenly appeared in his hand.
“Mr. Justice, please take a look.” Lord Fool smiled and handed over the paper.
"This is..." Julian took it and looked at it, then immediately turned his head to look out the window, and then looked at the piece of paper again in disbelief.
It turned out to be a photo, and it was in color. This photo was taken from their perspective, looking down at the street below, and the carriage above was exactly the same as the one that just passed by!
"There's more!" Our Master Yuan waved his right hand again and handed over the second photo that suddenly appeared in a very casual manner.
In this photo, the carriage has moved a little further than in the previous one.
"Your Excellency Justice, look!"
In the third photo, only the rear end of the carriage remains.
"Isn't that enough? Then there's..."
The photo that Yuan Yanshu took out this time was of an indoor scene, and the two people in it were themselves.
"And this one?"
"One more please!"
"Isn't that enough?"
"Sir Justice, is this enough?"
Our Master Yuan suddenly pointed at the top of their heads, and Julian, who was almost dazed, also looked up...
“Crash!”
He saw a bunch of photos appearing out of nowhere on the ceiling and falling down on him. These photos were all taken of the two of them from different angles!
Yuan Yanshu has a love-hate relationship with this crappy Master Ball system, but since he carries this thing with him wherever he goes in his life, he will definitely take the time to study it carefully.
The Master Ball system is indeed a high-tech product, just like the "Desert Eagle with unlimited bullets" in the infinite flow. The Desert Eagle is nothing great at all, and the "infinite bullets" are the black technology designed for material transmission.
So this research led to that weird and crazy night, and also gave him a lot of new inspiration. If the Master Ball can print all the written materials in his mind, including images and text, it also means that he can...
At least now I can be a charlatan.
