Chapter 111: Yasukuni Shrine
Ten Crown sedans were already parked at the entrance of Ginza.
Zheng Kaixin quickly walked forward, opened the back door and let Li Chengqian get in.
Li Chengqian glanced at him and came to the driver's door: "Just send it here, let's go!"
Zheng Kaixin bowed 90 degrees and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will take care of the Shinjuku neighborhood. I will never embarrass my compatriots."
Li Chengqian waved his hand, stepped on the accelerator, and left quickly.
Zheng Kaixin just watched the convoy leave, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.
On the other side, Shinoda Kenichi was sitting at home, enjoying the service while recalling what happened when he just came into contact with Li Chengqian.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he stood up lazily, limply.
"These Chinese must be holding some secret. Come on, let Zheng Kaixin come and see me after you're done..."
The neon lights on the streets of Tokyo at night were beautiful, but Li Chengqian had no mood to appreciate them.
Guided by the navigation, the convoy stopped about two blocks away from the Yasukuni Shrine.
He was afraid that there might be a tracking device in the car, so he had to take precautions.
Everyone got off the car and came to Li Chengqian.
"What should we do next?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Chengqian looked at the time. It was 11 o'clock in the evening, which was the most exciting time for nightlife.
But the Yasukuni Shrine toilet is located in a relatively remote area and the surrounding area is relatively quiet.
And no one comes to pay homage to these Japanese war criminals at night.
"You guys wait here, I'll go get some guys."
Li Chengqian looked around, then took Li Shimin and Li Jing into a 24-hour convenience store, went straight to the shelves in the hardware section, picked out some tools such as heavy wrenches, paid the bill and left.
The clerk looked at the three men strangely as they left carrying the heavy tools.
"These people are really weird. Why are they buying these tools in the middle of the night?"
After complaining, he opened his phone again to appreciate the latest masterpiece that teacher Yua Mikami had just posted online.
"Hey, isn't this actor the same guy as before..."
Regroup and distribute the heavy tools to everyone.
"Your strength has not been drained away by a woman!"
Everyone showed their fists to their Crown Prince.
"Then smash them all!"
Cheng Yaojin asked in confusion: "Why not use fire attack?"
Li Chengqian chuckled: "What I want is not to destroy the Yasukuni Shrine, but to leave our traces, so that the whole world can see what the Yasukuni Shrine looks like after being smashed."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's right. If the fire is started, the Japanese can easily make up an excuse of fire to get away with it. It won't have any effect."
Li Chengqian also nodded: "That's right, we just want people to see what the Yasukuni Shrine toilet looks like after it was smashed, and piss these bastards off to death."
After looking for the right direction, the group of people carried heavy tools and walked swaggeringly on the street.
It was very quiet around, with a car passing by from time to time.
Although the people in the car were puzzled by their actions, they just thought it was another violent group and didn't pay much attention to it.
After walking for half an hour, we finally arrived at the square outside the Yasukuni Shrine.
A stone tablet with the words "Yasukuni Shrine Toilet" written on it stands at the entrance, and in front of it is an archway in the shape of the Chinese character "Kai".
Walking through the gate, there is still a square inside with some ancient buildings on both sides.
This is not yet the interior of the Yasukuni Shrine. During the day, this is a gathering place for tourists.
Li Chengqian had learned on the Internet before that every Japanese soldier who entered the square would unconsciously bow towards the inside.
Whether adults or elementary school students, the status of Yasukuni Shrine in Japan is like our martyrs' cemetery.
During normal times, the Yasukuni Shrine is completely open to the public. There is no ticket required and anyone can enter. The management is not strict.
The local people of Japan even passed through here to take a shortcut.
Another two hundred meters ahead is the core of the Yasukuni Shrine.
It looks like the common shrine toilet in the countryside of Japan, a small room that is empty inside.
There was a small room next to it, and a security guard inside was staring at his phone with his hands hidden under the table...
Li Chengqian led his men to hide in the darkness temporarily and explained to everyone the origin of the Jingguo Shrine.
The difference between the Yasukuni Shinto Toilet and ordinary Shinto toilets in rural Japan is that other Shinto toilets are under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Ministry of the Interior and are folk religious sites.
The Yasukuni Shrine is under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Army Ministry and Navy Ministry and is a typical national shrine.
Yasukuni means protecting the country, and it enshrines the souls of 246 million Japanese devils who died fighting for the dog emperor from the Meiji Restoration to World War II.
Among them, only 1.4 died in internal wars in Japan, and all the others died in foreign wars of aggression.
In 1978, the tablets of 14 Class A war criminals were placed in the Yasukuni Shrine. Those who committed foreign aggression, such as Matsusuzu Iwane, Hideki Tojo, Kenji Doihara, Hirota Koki, and Seishirō Itagaki, were all enshrined here.
The Japanese believed that these animals were heroes who expanded the territory for their country, so they should be enshrined in the toilet.
In the eyes of other countries, they are dirty beasts.
But in the eyes of the Japanese, they are heroes who expand territory and seize resources for the country.
The Yasukuni Shrine is very small and there is nothing much to study.
The one with a lot of substance is the Yushukan next door.
The Yushukan is also within the Yasukuni Shrine and is located in the same park.
After arriving at the main building of the Yasukuni Shrine, turn right and walk more than 1.2 meters to see the Yushukan, which covers an area of square meters.
It is an exhibition hall dedicated to telling the history of Japanese wars and invasions.
Some of the information in it distorts the facts. They describe the war of aggression against China as the liberation of East Asia.
This is also the reason why Japan has not admitted that they launched an aggressive war to this day, not to mention apologizing for the 3500 million Chinese casualties caused during the invasion of China.
All the content about the invasion of China is downplayed here.
The war was portrayed as a conflict between the two countries' armies, rather than them invading us and killing and burning us.
This museum allows the entire East Asia to clearly see how the Japanese view the history of aggression in World War II.
They are whitewashing their own history of aggression, saying that it was precisely because they defeated Tsarist Russia in the Russo-Japanese War that they prompted the independence movements in Asian countries.
Only then will there emerge national heroes like Gandhi who lead the nation to free itself from colonialism.
They felt that Japan had made great contributions to the independence movement in Asia.
Shameless especially.
It is obvious that both the Yasukuni Shrine and the Yushukan reflect the true position of the Japanese people deep in their hearts.
They have never considered themselves to be waging wars of aggression against other countries, nor have they committed any anti-human and brutal acts.
They were forced into World War II, and the wars they launched in Asia were all to help Asian countries achieve independence.
As for the war of aggression against China, they said that we did not understand them and had various military frictions with them...
