According to statistics after the incident, a total of 32 American GIs participated in the conflict, 3 were killed, 8 were seriously injured, 15 were lightly injured, and 17 were arrested; the Japanese people who participated could not be fully counted, but about 1,000 people died, of which 7 were actually injured and then trampled to death, and 41 people were seriously injured and 276 people were slightly injured, most of them were injured by the stampede, and 231 people were arrested. At the same time, 22 shops were damaged to varying degrees.

Compared with the Nagasaki incident that occurred when the Beiyang Navy Division visited Japan more than 20 years ago, the scale of this conflict was larger, and it caused a large number of casualties, and some people died, and the impact caused afterwards was far greater than the incident 20 years ago, so in later historical documents, this incident is called the "second Nagasaki incident".

In the afternoon of the same day, nearly 10,000 people came to protest in front of the Nagasaki Naval Base, and the object of protest was not only the United States, but also East China, because in some rumors, it was the soldiers of East China who made trouble in the streets, and beat and killed the Japanese, so the Japanese protesting in front of the base demanded that the United States and East China be severely punished.

At this time, the tall and strong man was also as big as a fight, but he didn't expect that he was prepared for everything, and there was no accident here in East China, but the American soldiers stabbed themselves in a big stab.

And at this moment, the commander of the American fleet, Sparley, came ashore and lodged a solemn protest against him, pointing out that the American soldiers had gone ashore to play. Shopping, did not violate any Japanese law, did not do any radical acts, but was beaten by the mob for no reason, and caused casualties, at this time there were also people arrested by the police, this is a serious act of compassion to the United States, the fleet asked the Japanese side to severely punish the perpetrators, make compensation to the American soldiers, and immediately release the captured American soldiers, and at the same time the fleet has notified the United States ** and the United States Embassy in Japan of this matter, and they will make diplomatic representations to Japan.

It turned out that the American soldiers who fled back to the base told Sparey what had happened, and the commanders of the American fleet were immediately furious, thinking that this was completely an attack on American soldiers, and the Americans looked down on Japan, and now the Japanese still dared to attack American soldiers for no reason, and also captured 17 people, which was okay, so Sparey immediately ordered that all 16 battleships were ready for battle, and then personally went ashore to find Hidaka Zhuangcheng and protested to him.

In fact, by this time, Hitaka Zhuangzhi had already basically understood what the whole thing had happened, because after the Nagasaki local police department caught the American soldiers, they also knew the seriousness of the situation, so that they did not dare to interrogate the American soldiers at will, but the captured Japanese could be interrogated for a trial, and the arrested Japanese were also different, some said that they saw American soldiers beating people on the street, some said that American soldiers robbed, and some said that the soldiers of East China ** were doing evil, and insisted that it was the soldiers of East China ** who were fighting with them.

However, after all, the interrogating police are experienced people, and they can say that they are better at listening, and after interrogating dozens of people, they generally understand what happened, because many of the arrested people are members of ultra-radical associations that have been registered with the police station, and during this visit, these associations were closely monitored by the police station, just because they were afraid that they would make trouble. It's just that neither the soldiers of East China ** were arrested, nor were the bodies of the soldiers of East China ** found among the dead, so it is uncertain whether any soldiers from East China ** were involved.

The person in charge of the police station did not dare to slack off, after all, it was a diplomatic incident, and the arrest of 17 American soldiers was even more of a hot potato, and it was not closed or released, so he hurried to see the man who was strong and strong and reported to him what had happened.

When he heard this, he understood what was going on better than the police, because he knew very well that the Japanese people were hostile to East China, so it was not surprising that some people were holding back to catch a few East China ** soldiers on the shore and beat them. However, the East China ** fleet that visited this time was strictly disciplined, and it has always strictly forbidden soldiers to go ashore for activities, let alone go to the streets, and the four warships of East China ** did not dock, but anchored in the harbor, and they needed to be picked up by small boats when they went ashore, so it was basically impossible for anyone to secretly leave the ship and go ashore. This incident must have nothing to do with East China **, either the Japanese beat the Americans as Chinese, or they could not find the Chinese, only to take the Americans to be angry, of course, the latter is more likely, after all, the Chinese and the Americans are still very good at distinguishing.

But knowing that things really seem to be one thing, but how to deal with it is another matter, because now the matter is too big, more than a dozen dead people have died, if the Japanese, they will die, but there are still three Americans dead, it is really difficult to clean up, to be honest, this is not something that an official of the level of Higaku can handle, so in the face of Spare's protest, Higaku No. 1 can only say that he has no power to deal with this matter now, and can only be resolved by the two countries.

After all, the trouble has reached this point, and the pressure cannot be suppressed, and can only be resolved through negotiation between the politicians of both sides, but Sparey still kept a clear head at this time and put forward four demands to the Japanese soldiers: first, to ensure the safety and rights of the 17 captured American soldiers, not to interrogate them until diplomatic negotiations have been completed, and at the same time to receive good medical treatment for the wounded; the Second Fleet hopes to send four staff officers ashore to visit the captured and wounded members, monitor Japan's handling operations, and ask Japan to send personnel to cooperate; and third, it is required that some warships be sailed out of Nagasaki PortFourth, during this sensitive period, both sides are required to exercise restraint and goodwill, and not to make any provocative and irrational moves, which will cause more serious consequences.

The first two points are to protect the personal safety and personal rights of the captured and wounded soldiers, and the last two points are for the sake of the fleet, because after this incident, the relationship of mutual trust between the United States and Japan has been wiped out, and it is very dangerous to keep the fleet in the port of Nagasaki again; in the event of another conflict between the two sides, or if the settlement of the incident develops in the direction of deterioration, then the fleet in the port is tantamount to catching turtles in an urn, and it is better to anchor outside the port; moreover, at this point, the vigilance of both sides has been greatly raised, and the slightest disturbance may cause a miscalculation, so at this time, both sides must naturally be cautious in their words and deedsin case something unexpected happens.

This round-the-world fleet is almost all the property of the US Navy, and in the event of an accident, Sparley cannot afford this responsibility, so at this time, he must be extremely careful.

To be honest, now the Japanese are afraid of another accident, not to mention that if there is another accident, it is very dangerous to leave these 16 battleships in the harbor, after all, the shore fire in the port is insufficient, and the US fleet is not enough to suppress at all, and once it fights, it is easy to injure itself by mistake and affect the shore, so it is better to release the fleet, in case the situation deteriorates, there can also be coastal defense batteries to deal with them.

So he took his leave to Hidaka, and Spare first went to the telegraph office, sent telegrams to the domestic and American embassies in Japan, and informed them of what had happened in Nagasaki, and then returned to the flagship Connecticut, and immediately summoned the other three squadron commanders, explained the results of his negotiations with Hidaka, and ordered the first, second, The third squadron left the port and was stationed outside the port, but the fourth squadron remained in the port, first, to protect the logistics ships, and second, to really fight, and the four fleets could cooperate with each other and cooperate with each other, which was far better than concentrating all of them outside the port. Next, Spareh sent someone to inform the fleet of East China's **, mainly because his fleet had left the port, so as to avoid miscalculation of the fleet of East China**.

After dealing with these matters, Sparey ordered that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd squadrons, as well as the 6 transport ships, leave the harbor at once and anchor at a position about 10 kilometers outside the harbor, while all the warships were on fire and kept the boiler fire intensifying, so that they could move at any time, and all the crews remained vigilant and ready to fight at any time.

After sending off Spare, Hidaka immediately sent a telegram to Tokyo to inform Tokyo of what had happened in Nagasaki, which could not be avoided after all, and on the other hand, he arranged for ships to guide the American fleet to leave the port. At the same time, he also ordered the coastal defense troops, plus the vigilance on the shore, to send more soldiers to monitor the protesting crowd to prevent it from getting out of control, and to send more troops to guard the hospital for the treatment of American soldiers, so as to prevent accidents, and also notified the police station that the whole city should be on alert, not to be neglected, and not to interrogate the captured American soldiers for the time being.

Subsequently, he strictly ordered all the batteries of the coastal defense to remain vigilant and raise the level of combat readiness, but without the order of the headquarters, no one was allowed to open fire without authorization, and arranged for staff officers to be stationed in each battery to monitor the movement of each battery, and to report to him immediately if there was any disturbance.

After Xia Ruichen received the notice from the American fleet, he also realized the seriousness of the situation, of course, at this time, the three of them did not know that they had been lying down, they only thought that it was the American GIs who came ashore to cause trouble, which caused the situation to be tense, and it had nothing to do with them. However, now the atmosphere is getting more and more wrong, and the US fleet has sailed out of the port to berth, so after discussion, the three of them decided that it is better to take precautions, so they immediately informed the country of the situation, and suggested that the fleet should also sail out of the port to berth, in case a war really broke out? The battleships could resist for a while if they remained in the port, while several cruisers could only be beaten passively.
