The War of Resistance Against Japan: Special Operations Battalion Traverses Shanghai and Slaughters

After entering a separate room, Long Fei ordered the boxes to be opened and then personally confirmed each of these priceless treasures belonging to the Chinese nation.

Following behind Long Fei, the monk couldn't help but exclaim in amazement upon seeing these stunning historical treasures representing the splendid civilization and long-standing culture of China.

"This zither is so beautiful, this bowl is so pretty, is this thing made of gold? And why is that tiger holding a human head?..."

Hearing the monk's exclamation, Long Fei smiled inwardly and began to explain earnestly.

“Monk, this zither is a five-stringed pipa made of mother-of-pearl inlaid with rosewood from the Tang Dynasty. The decorative patterns inlaid on it are made of seashells.”

"This bowl is a tea bowl from the Southern Song Dynasty, called the Yao Bian Tenmoku tea bowl. It is the only one of its kind in the world."

"As for the lump of gold you mentioned, it is indeed made of pure gold and is called the Golden Seal of the King of Wa during the Western Han Dynasty. It is a token given to the King of Wa during the Western Han Dynasty."

"As for the tiger holding a human head that you mentioned, it is a bronze vessel from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, called the 'Tiger Eating Man' You."

Next, Long Fei introduced the remaining works, including "Xiao Xiang Wo You Tu", "Sang Luan Tie", "Guanyin Yuan He Tu", "Wu Zhun Shi Fan Xiang", "Hong Bai Fu Rong Tu", and "Bodhisattva Chu Tai Jing", to the monk.

The monk nodded repeatedly as he listened, and finally said, "Commander Long, how do you know so much? You describe it as if you were introducing something from your own home."

Long Fei could only manage a bitter smile. These ten treasures were still in the hands of Japan until Long Fei's transmigration.

Moreover, Long Fei had read the relevant materials more than once and had hoped in his heart that these national treasures would return to their homeland as soon as possible.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Long Fei could recount the story in such detail as if it were his own.

“Monk, you’re right. These are our national treasures. I not only know them very well, but I’ve also dreamed of bringing them home. Now I can finally have my wish fulfilled.”

As he spoke, Long Fei walked up to the two Tang swords. Overwhelmed with excitement, he put on gloves and carefully picked up the gold and silver inlaid Tang sword first.

With a "click," the precious sword was drawn from its sheath, its cold light flashing.

Long Fei examined and admired the sword, marveling at it. Then he sheathed his precious sword and put it down, before picking up the Water Dragon Sword next to him.

"Monk, this Tang sword represents the pinnacle of cold weaponry in our Chinese nation. The Tang Dynasty stipulated that Tang swords could not be buried with the dead, so the Tang swords and their manufacturing techniques gradually disappeared into the long river of history. These two Tang swords are the only two Tang swords in the world that have been preserved intact."

The monk nodded, his eyes filled with immense delight as he stared intently at the Water Dragon Sword in Long Fei's hand.

Seeing this, Long Fei made the monk put on gloves and then handed him the sword.

"Hold it and feel it; this kind of opportunity may only come once in a lifetime."

The monk carefully took it, then held it in his hand and played with it. Suddenly, he asked curiously, "Commander Long, this is clearly a sword, so why do you call it a Tang sword instead of a Tang dao?"

"Because the Tang Dynasty did not have the concept of swords, they were all called 'dao' (刀), such as yidao (仪刀), modao (陌刀), hengdao (横刀), zhangdao (障刀), etc."

Next, Long Fei quickly inspected the other cultural relics. Just as he smiled with satisfaction and was about to leave,

The monk suddenly said, "Commander Long, the Japanese are too despicable. They robbed so many of our Chinese treasures and took them to their country. Why don't we take their cultural relics with us? Didn't you say we should retaliate in kind?"

Long Fei was amused by the monk: "Monk, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't do it."

"There's nothing we can't do. We can just take it with us while we're at it."

Long Fei put his hand on the monk's shoulder and said in a contemptuous tone, "Monk, the cultural relics collected by Japan are all looted by them. They can't find any valuable cultural relics themselves, so even if I wanted to take them, I couldn't."

"Ah, so that's how it is, hahaha..." The monk burst out laughing.

After leaving the museum, Long Fei returned to the imperial palace of the Heavenly Locusts, which has now become Long Fei's residence and headquarters.

After a quick meal, Long Fei announced that everyone should come to the Imperial Palace for a meeting.

Long Fei decided to convene this meeting because there were several things to discuss.

The first item concerns war reparations. Long Fei did not specify a particular amount in the surrender document, but only wrote that one-third of Japan's annual total fiscal revenue would be used as reparations for a period of one hundred years.

This task requires dedicated personnel and a team to be responsible for its follow-up and execution.

After discussion, it was decided that Shen Tunan would be stationed in Japan to oversee the country's economy.

As for the affairs of the Dragon Flame National Bank, they will be handled by Wei Ruo.

The second thing Long Fei proposed was to build a Great Wall on Mount Undying and then plant red flags all over it, fulfilling his promise that red flags would flutter all over Mount Undying.

In addition, Long Fei said that building the Great Wall on Mount Undying would show the world that Japan had been completely defeated and conquered by China.

Another point is that Mount Undying has been ceded to the Huaxia Kingdom and belongs to the Huaxia Kingdom's territory. After the Great Wall was built, the Japanese could no longer enter at will.

As a result, Long Fei's proposal was praised by everyone and passed smoothly. Moreover, it was decided that all the troops who surrendered on the Japanese mainland would be responsible for the construction, which was equivalent to labor reform.

The third matter concerns the handling of all of Japan's weapons and equipment. Most people agree that they should be destroyed directly to avoid giving them any ideas.

However, Long Fei disagreed, since there were so many subsystems now, it would be very easy to take them away.

Crucially, Long Fei had a better solution.

Long Fei meant that many places around the world were colonies of Western powers, and now that Japan had surrendered, the smoke of war on the Eastern battlefield was about to dissipate.

If the Hans also loses, these victorious nations will surely reshape the world order and will certainly not give up their original colonies.

Therefore, Long Fei suggested that the Japanese weapons and equipment could be used to arm the people of these colonies, so that they could rise up in resistance, break away from colonization, and seek independence.

After all, political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and these Western powers are not going to give up their territory willingly.

The Dragon Flame Kingdom and the Dragon Flame People's Army only need to help these colonies gain independence and then secretly control them.

However, many people still expressed doubts, believing that once these colonies gained independence, they might not necessarily submit to the control of the Dragon Flame Kingdom.

Long Fei confidently stated that controlling them was actually quite simple; it was nothing more than a carrot and stick approach.

First, control their economic lifeline and station troops in these countries. If they obey, they will be well-fed and protected from attack; if they disobey, they will not only go hungry but also get a spanking.

Long Fei concluded by saying that global unification and world harmony are certainly not easy things, so sometimes a compassionate heart is needed, and sometimes a ruthless approach is required.
