Chapter 497: Trip to Osaka
Upon arriving at their second destination, the Tokyo Postal Bank, the group continued with the same steps as before.
However, before arriving, Zhang Lei had already ordered a fire to be set off near the museum to attract more attention.
Outside the bank, Zhang Lei suddenly heard a commotion and couldn't help but look inside.
He quickly put on his helmet and bulletproof vest.
When Zhang Sanshi returned, Zhang Lei couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
Zhang Sanshi replied, "Boss, there was a small accident just now, but it's all right now. Boss, please come with us quickly, there's plenty of cash inside, and quite a few gold bars as well."
Entering the bank vault, Zhang Lei glanced around and nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad."
The 630 men were still moving things around, and many valuables that wealthy merchants had stored here were being found one by one.
Zhang Lei's eyes lit up instantly when he saw dozens of tons of gold piled up together.
With a wave of his hand, he stored all the gold into his personal space.
Seeing that the US dollars, pounds, and yen were still scattered around, he released some more people from his spatial storage. With more people, it would be easier to tidy up.
The whole process took only ten minutes, and Zhang Lei put all his valuables into his personal space.
Then, the same method was used on the third and fourth targets.
Throughout the night, Zhang Lei followed Zhang Sanshi and the others, running around to various important locations in Tokyo.
Finally, the car drove to the vicinity of the hotel where they were staying and stopped in a secluded place without surveillance cameras.
Zhang Lei packed everything into his spatial storage, then quietly avoided all the hotel's surveillance cameras and returned to his room.
Seeing that the three women were still fast asleep, Zhang Lei lay down between them and let his consciousness sink into his spatial storage, roughly estimating his gains for the night.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Tokyo truly lives up to its reputation as the capital of Japan; its financial resources are certainly well-deserved."
The harvest included 120 to 130 tons of gold, approximately 1.2 to 1.3 billion US dollars, slightly less than 700 to 800 million British pounds, and the largest amount of Japanese yen, totaling a whopping 15 trillion yen, which completely exceeded Zhang Lei's expectations.
However, looking at so many yen, he was a little worried. Such a large sum of money, if not exchanged for US dollars, he didn't know if the system would accept it.
But now that he had it, there was no point in thinking about it anymore. Zhang Lei stopped worrying and went straight to bed to sleep.
The next morning, Zhang Lei woke up to the teasing of the three women.
Seeing the three of them, Zhang Lei couldn't help but hug and kiss them, asking, "Why so early? Have you had breakfast yet?"
Aokiko shook her head: "Master, how dare we eat first if you haven't eaten yet?"
Zhang Lei looked at Qingmuzi and said with a smile, "Sweetie, let me treat you to a sausage first."
The three women looked at each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Half an hour later, Zhang Lei finished showering and brought the three women downstairs for breakfast.
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw a large number of police officers patrolling the streets.
Zhang Lei pretended to be unaware and asked, "What's wrong? Qingmuzi, go and ask her."
Aokiko nodded obediently and quickly returned with the information.
In the restaurant, she frowned and said, "It's terrifying. Tokyo was attacked last night. There were terrorist attacks in many places, and I heard that a lot of things were stolen."
Zhang Lei pretended to frown and said, "What's going on? The security situation in Tokyo is terrible."
Maria Ozawa, standing nearby, said timidly, "Master, I'm scared."
Zhang Lei gently patted her and comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He then added, "Since Tokyo isn't safe, let's go somewhere else. I'll take you sightseeing in other parts of Japan, okay?"
Upon hearing that they were going on a trip, the group immediately and happily agreed, "Great! Great!"
Soon, Zhang Lei led more than a hundred girls on a grand trip to Japan.
However, when leaving Tokyo, because there were so many people, the group was searched more than a dozen times.
However, Zhang Lei and his group successfully passed the inspection and boarded the train from Tokyo to Osaka, much to everyone's delight.
Zhang Lei looked around and saw that almost the entire carriage was filled with his own people, and nodded in satisfaction.
It was summer, and everyone was dressed lightly. As far as the eye could see, a riot of flowers bloomed in vibrant colors.
Aokiko then became Zhang Lei's personal secretary.
As the saying goes: when there's work to be done, the secretary does it; when there's nothing to do, the secretary takes over.
The same lively atmosphere, the same bustling scene.
This time, Zhang Lei not only had experience in Tokyo, but also released 10,000 subordinates from his spatial storage to go on a shopping spree in Osaka.
He set a small goal of 100 million yen for everyone and went on a buying spree to purchase all kinds of supplies.
Because he needed to centrally store the supplies, Zhang Lei first had others rent several large warehouses, and he would regularly move the contents of the warehouses into his space every night, which took up a lot of time.
Fortunately, he had different beautiful women to accompany him during the day, and Zhang Lei also took the opportunity to enjoy the scenery of Japan.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Lei is riding high, living a very comfortable life.
However, he had too many yen in his hands, and if he continued to spend large sums of money, it would easily attract the attention of others, so he set his sights on the next city.
On the twenty-fifth day after arriving in Osaka, the exact same scene as in Tokyo unfolded in Osaka.
At 1 a.m., banks in Osaka were robbed, antiques in museums were looted, and fires and looting occurred simultaneously in nearly 30 locations, plunging the entire city into chaos.
After succeeding, Zhang Lei led everyone away that same day, heading straight to Nagoya.
Looking at the ever-increasing amount of Japanese yen in the space, Zhang Lei couldn't help but frown.
He practically emptied the banks in the cities he passed through, but with so much yen, he couldn't find a suitable way to exchange it all at once.
So he tried a different approach.
Although the people remained in Nagoya, they released 100,000 people from the space, who dispersed to different cities in Japan and used their yen to purchase various supplies.
Prices soared across Japan, causing widespread market turmoil.
Amidst the constant turmoil, Zhang Lei always managed to cleverly lead over a hundred beautiful women on a journey through various places, enjoying the scenery, while leaving behind only the scars of Japan's devastation.
Aokiko looked at the news she had heard in the newspapers and on the news with a puzzled expression, and couldn't help but sigh, "Every time I go to a city, that city suffers. Am I cursed with bad luck?" Thinking of this, Aokiko suddenly lost her appetite and couldn't eat or drink.
Looking at Qingmuzi's expression, Zhang Lei couldn't help but ask, "Qingmuzi, what's wrong? We're on a trip, and you're still not happy?"
Aokiko shook her head and said, "Dear master, Aokiko is not an auspicious person. Aokiko can no longer follow you."
Hearing this, Zhang Lei was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Qingmuzi, what exactly happened?"
Soon, Qingmuzi voiced her doubts. After listening, Zhang Lei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Qingmuzi, don't scare yourself. It's just a coincidence. Trust me, I won't lie to you."
Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Qingmuzi burst into tears. If they weren't eating at a restaurant, she would have rushed into Zhang Lei's arms right then and there.
Soon, the nearly 30 trillion yen that Zhang Lei had collected in various cities was almost entirely spent by his 100,000 subordinates within a month, leaving only a few hundred billion yen.
Zhang Lei couldn't help but nod, thinking to himself: We can use the rest next time we come.
Zhang Lei collected all the supplies he had acquired in exchange for nearly 30 trillion yen into his personal storage space. He was overwhelmed by the sheer variety of items; there was something for everyone. After all, his previous instruction was to buy whatever he could find, from small items like toothpaste and toothbrushes to large items like machinery and televisions—whatever he wanted, he had it.
Moreover, the gold in the space was close to two hundred tons, while Japan's total gold reserves at that time were only two hundred and ninety tons. The US dollars amounted to 2.2 billion, and the British pounds were nearly one billion. Zhang Lei didn't count the other currencies, but they added up to about seven or eight hundred million US dollars.
Soon, in a secluded spot, Zhang Lei looked at Zhang Sanshi and asked, "Have you found out anything? Have you got a clear understanding of the number of American troops stationed in Japan and their weapons situation?"
Zhang Sanshi answered seriously: "Yokata Air Base, located in Tokyo, is the headquarters of the U.S. Forces Japan and the Fifth Air Force."
Camp Zama in Kanagawa Prefecture is the headquarters of the U.S. Army in Japan. Yokosuka Naval Base, also in Kanagawa Prefecture, is the headquarters of the U.S. Seventh Fleet. Furthermore, Atsugi Naval Air Station, also in Kanagawa Prefecture, is primarily used for carrier-based aircraft training.
The Sasebo Naval Base in Nagasaki Prefecture is the second largest base of the U.S. Navy, where amphibious forces are permanently stationed and logistical support is provided.
The Iwakuni Marine Corps Air Base in Yamaguchi Prefecture is the home of the main air force unit of the Marine Corps.
Misawa Air Base in Aomori Prefecture is a joint U.S.-Japan air operations base and is equipped with large-scale listening facilities.
In Okinawa Prefecture, Kadena Air Base is the largest U.S. Air Force base in the Far East, while Marine Corps Air Station Futenma houses a Marine Corps aviation wing.
After listening to Zhang Sanshi's report, Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said, "We won't go to Tokyo for now. We'll go to the other places one by one, give them some gifts, and make the domineering Eagle Country lower its arrogant head."
Zhang Lei quickly came up with a plan: start with their food. After all, everyone needs to drink water and eat food. If he put some special medicine in their water and food, he could guarantee they'd be so deprived of medication that they couldn't afford it. Yes, Zhang Lei was talking about laxatives.
During this period, Zhang Lei quickly obtained a batch of counterfeit military uniforms from various places.
For his first target, Zhang Lei chose Okinawa Prefecture, which had the largest population. Although the U.S. military garrison in Okinawa Prefecture was large, it couldn't compare to the 20,000 special forces soldiers Zhang Lei had specially purchased from his spatial storage. Moreover, Zhang Lei equipped them with the most advanced weaponry in the world.
With the enemy in the open and himself in the dark, Zhang Lei naturally wanted to maximize his advantages. Just in case, Zhang Lei hired nearly a thousand special forces soldiers with American features to escort him, their target being the weapons depot.
Soon, all the preparations were completed.
At 7 p.m., the garrison base was filled with a stench, and everyone from officers to soldiers was suffering from diarrhea and vomiting.
Zhang Lei looked at Zhang Sanshi beside him and asked, "They can have diarrhea, but why are they vomiting too?"
Zhang Sanshi laughed and said, "I was just worried they wouldn't find it tasteless, so I added some special ingredients. Anyway, it won't kill anyone, so what's there to be afraid of?"
Zhang Lei didn't expect Zhang Sanshi to be so funny, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
With 20,000 special forces soldiers in replica military uniforms charging forward, the battle became one-sided. Meanwhile, Zhang Lei, escorted by over a thousand men, arrived at the warehouse area and began to plunder supplies.
Machine guns, submachine guns, bullets, grenades, tanks... Zhang Lei didn't hold back and put all the equipment into his spatial storage.
The three-hour battle ended quickly. Looking at the wrecked base, Zhang Lei laughed and said, "Throw all the corpses into the sea. Don't delay my collection of planes, aircraft carriers, and warships."
However, the commotion quickly attracted the attention of outsiders. Zhang Lei immediately gathered everyone into his personal space, then drove a sports car at high speed to the next location.
This time, Zhang Sanshi finally acted a bit more reliably, scrambling to grab a luxury car in advance to wait for him.
At this moment, in a specially enclosed area within the space, there were many Japanese-style houses, which Zhang Lei had specially built.
He had previously drugged and taken all one hundred-plus beautiful women into this place, even using his mind to create the illusion that they were still in Japan, so they wouldn't notice anything amiss when they woke up. It must be said, Zhang Lei put a lot of thought into their care.
Over time, Zhang Lei had developed feelings for them. Although he couldn't give them official status, it was nice to keep them around.
Subsequently, multiple military bases of the United States in Japan were attacked one after another. The United States finally reacted and immediately scrambled all its aircraft and warships away from the Japanese mainland.
This was somewhat unexpected for Zhang Lei; he had only just seized three bases, and now he couldn't continue.
Left with no other option, Zhang Lei had to turn his attention elsewhere.
