Before long, the 27th Division dispatched a large number of soldiers to guard near Kanzakis residence. The commander of the 27th Division, Lieutenant General Ochiai Shigekuro, personally came to Chief of Staff Kanzakis study and saw the gruesome corpse of Kanzaki and the large characters on the wall. His face turned pale as he said: "Seal off all external transportation outlets in Tianjin, conduct a thorough search within the city, and we must find the murderer."

  The information was summarized, and the biggest suspect was the name left on the wall, Mu Yang. Lieutenant Colonel Kōhei Ishibashi of the 27th Divisions staff also became one of the suspects.

  "I dont care what methods you use, find that guy called Mu Yang and also find Takashi Ishibashi. The Chief of Staff Kanemoto Hisataro was killed in his own home, and it was in a residence with over a dozen Imperial Army officers, this is a shame to the Empire, a shame to the 27th Division, you people are all useless!" Lieutenant General Ochiai Shinkurō loudly scolded his subordinate officers.

  At this time, whether or not the officers who were celebrating General Kojuros birthday could only bow their heads and accept the reprimand, and had to admit that it was indeed a shameful thing for them. The enemy was able to sneak into the residence of an Imperial general at will, kill people, and leave calmly, which was a serious challenge to the dignity of these Japanese soldiers.

  "Now Im asking you, dispatch soldiers to search all suspicious locations, look for any suspicious clues, and I want the results within a day, understood?" Ochiai Jinkurō ordered loudly.

  "Attention!" All the officers stood at attention and replied in unison.

  The entire city of Tianjin began to implement martial law, and groups of Japanese soldiers rushed into the train station, docks, hotels, restaurants, dance halls, and even ordinary residential areas. The big search operation in Tianjin had begun.

  As for why Ryōtarō Kawai was so agitated, there were also reasons for that. Sekine Kyūtarō was not just a simple army division chief of staff, he had another identity. Sekine Kyūtarō was also a senior intelligence officer in the Japanese Armys Intelligence Department, responsible for intelligence work throughout Tianjin and parts of North China. This identity was directly under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Armys Intelligence Department, which was also one of the reasons why Sekine Kyūtarō was able to be promoted to major general.

  In the Imperial Japanese Army, except for a few elite divisions that were always led by lieutenant generals, most divisional chiefs of staff held the rank of colonel.

  No matter how you look at it, the death of a major generals chief of staff, and that he was assassinated in his own home, is no small thing. What worries Ryōsuke ōchiai now is how to report this incident to General Okamura Yasuji.

  Mu Yang changed three yellow taxis and finally arrived at the National Grand Hotel. Mu Yang asked the hotel to open a high-end room for him.

  After entering the room, Mu Yang directly checked his own system panel.

  According to Muyangs habit, the first thing he did was to click on the reward column. He saw that a new reward had appeared in the reward column, with four options: "Japanese Swordsmanship", "Master of Japanese Fan Making", "Gun Mastery" and "Drinking Master".

  Muyang now understands that this system absolutely considers the objects you complete tasks for when giving out rewards. Since he killed many Japanese people, most of his rewards are skills related to Japanese people. However, whats the point of learning from a Japanese fan-making master?

  The wine master is absolutely not chosen.

  Japanese swordsmanship, to be honest, Moyang as a young man, also yearns for martial arts, but he doesnt want to learn Japanese swordsmanship yet. He might as well turn back and get rewards from Chinese martial arts instead, so hed better focus on learning the things of his ancestors.

  It seems that the only thing left is to master firearms. According to the literal meaning, its likely to make oneself a skilled shooter, but this skill can probably only be used in the world of Bitface. After all, in real society, the chances of coming into contact with guns are too small.

  However, among the awkward ones, there is a general, this skill is still very useful in the world of Bitface, and Muyang finally chose to master firearms.

  After selecting, the other three options disappeared. Mu Yangs current abilities have become four: System Space, Japanese Proficiency, Transformation Technique, and Firearms Proficiency.

  Muyang now finds that the skill rewards given by the system are also irregular. Relatively speaking, transformation techniques and system space are basically things that cannot appear in reality, and they have been of great help to Muyang. Japanese proficiency and firearms proficiency, at most, can only make Muyang stronger than ordinary people. There are many people in this world who know these two things, and its not unusual. They just enhance some of Muyangs abilities.

  Of course, when Muyang made the choice at that time, he had also considered it carefully. These things are of great help to him in completing his system tasks, which is enough, and his road is still long.

  Mo Yang opened the taskbar and found that a new task had been updated: "Kill a Japanese general and retrieve an antique."

  Moyang scratched his head, a Japanese general, this is not the kind of shrimp role that can be called a lieutenant general. The entire Japanese army, navy and air force combined have only 62 generals, with less than 50 in office, and they are all key protected objects of the military. It seems that this task has some difficulty.

  There is also the task of retrieving antiques, retrieving antiques, are these antiques or all antiques. If its all antiques, Muyang believes that he wont be able to complete this task in his lifetime.

  In 1991, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Special Property Bureau compiled and published a Sino-Japanese parallel text "Directory of Cultural Assets Looted from China" (translated into Chinese as "Catalogue of Cultural Relics Plundered from China") which revealed some of the quantities of Chinese cultural relics looted by Japan.

  Books: Public: 22,532,520 volumes, 5,360 kinds, 411 boxes, 44,538 parts. Private: 4,888,560 volumes, 18,315 kinds, 168 boxes, 1,215 parts; Calligraphy and Painting: Public: 1,554 pieces. Private: 13,612 pieces, 16 boxes; Stele and Posters: Public: 455 pieces. Private: 8,922 pieces; Antiques: Public: 17,818 pieces. Private: 8,567 pieces, 2 boxes; Instruments: Public: 5,012 pieces, 63 boxes. Private: 110 pieces, 3 boxes. Specimens: Public: 14,582 pieces, 1,204 boxes. Private: 17,904 pieces. Maps: Public: 125 pieces. Private: 56,003 pieces. Artworks: Private: 2,506 pieces. Miscellaneous Items: Public: 648,368 pieces. Private: 3 boxes.

  Of course, this number should be far less than the cultural relics that were looted, and this is just the number voluntarily disclosed by the Japanese government.

  Muyang believes that the actual number is much higher, as Chinese people have long had the habit of storing gold and silver, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, especially among the wealthy.

  Here is the translation:

  There are a set of Chinese self-reported statistics, during the 8-year anti-Japanese war period:

  1. National government lost gold: 21,000 tons!

  2. Civilian lost gold: 10,000 tons!

  3. Southeast Asian Chinese: 4,000 tons!

  4. Gold mining: 10,000 tons!

  5. Platinum: 1,000 tons!

  6. Cultural relics: over 40 million pieces.

  Including:

  - Paintings and calligraphy: about 30 million pieces

  - Stone, jade, metal, wood: about 10 million pieces,

  with bronze being the most, and Beijing human fossils being the most valuable.

  7. Copper ore: 1,500,000 tons

  8. Aluminum ore: 100,000 tons

  9. Coal: 1,000,000,000 tons

  10. Magnesium ore: 50,000 tons

  11. Petroleum: 100,000 tons

  12. Iron ore: 180,000,000 tons

  13. Grain: 300,000,000 tons

  14. Silver ore: 20,000 tons

  15. Silver coins: 250,000,000 pieces

  16. Jade stones:

  - White jade, yellow jade, green jade, purple jade,

  blue sapphire, red sapphire, green sapphire, agate: 20,000,000 pieces;

  - Pearls: 10,000,000 pieces;

  - Diamonds: 500 tons.

  17. Cotton yarn: 1,000,000,000 spindles

  18. Livestock:

  - Cattle, horses, donkeys: 20,000,000 heads

  19. Poultry:

  - Pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks: 480,000,000 pieces

  20. Grain: 500,000,000 tons

  21. Houses: 300,000,000 rooms

  But Muyang felt that no matter what, he still had to work hard to complete this task. He now felt that sometimes killing a few Japanese soldiers was also a very enjoyable thing, and he had grown to like this hunting feeling.

  Directly clicked on the task and accepted it.

  Isnt it just Japans general? If all else fails, go to Japan, where killing is much more convenient than in China.

  Continue to view the system panel, open the description bar, and receive the task without much explanation. It only tells Mu Yang that he can kill a Japanese general at will, regardless of whether it is land, sea or air, and retrieve the antique from this investigation, which makes Mu Yang feel more at ease.

  The proficiency in firearms is: This skill will enable you to acquire the ability to use, disassemble and repair various firearms, with time based on real-time. That is to say, modern firearms are also included.

  According to the manual, Mu Yangs understanding is that he cant be considered a military talent yet, at most, he can only be considered an expert in marksmanship, and has no knowledge of other weapons such as aircraft, artillery, tanks, warships, etc., and only knows how to use guns.

  P.S: There is a lot of data in this article, but I think its necessary to write it out, otherwise it wont have an intuitive effect, please bear with me, dear readers.
