Because of confusion, because of incomprehension, and more because of the forbearance of having the same military power, these citizens who marched for the sovereignty of the country made way for the Chinese troops stationed in the land of Qingcheng.

It also allowed the military and police team of hundreds of people to pass through the blockade of the crowd and slowly drive to the street opposite the Japanese army.

It's just that when everyone got closer and saw the current situation of the military and police team, their emotions became much more complicated.

There is no way, the policemen who walked in the front row were obviously called by these warlord teams as meat shields and vanguards.

The police chief, who had taken refuge in the city last night and could not be found by the mayor, was now crying with a handful of snot and tears, holding a pistol, and walking tremblingly at the front of the police force.

After many years of serving as a police chief, he did not wear his uniform for a long time.

Today, I suddenly went to the police with the big guys, only to find that the uniform I used to wear was very slim, and it was like a wrap that strangled his flesh into a circle and a circle.

It's just that this ill-fitting uniform is not as eye-catching as his demeanor.

The sheriff who once ran rampant in the city center now looks like he's on the verge of collapse.

But even so, the director, who was scared to death when he saw it, still walked forward with a runny nose.

And the only person in the audience who understood why he behaved the way he did was probably the commander of the military jeep following behind the police force.

This commander was not very familiar to the citizens of Qingcheng, and most of the people present had never even seen this officer.

They could only judge the position of the young officer from the epaulettes and collar badges of the other party.

But just looking at the position of lieutenant colonel at this age, I am afraid that he is also a great figure in the Qingdao garrison.

But the common people in Qingcheng couldn't recognize the low-key officer, but the captain of the Japanese garrison team, who was also in the garrison position and had a slight friction and confrontation from time to time, recognized the young officer who was hiding behind the police at a glance.

This young officer is He Jifeng, who was in contact with Shao Nian when he first came to Qingcheng.

It was also a direct contact who he spent a lot of money to get the other party to save his life in the hands of the Japanese.

This young officer's relationship with Shao Nian and Chu Shao Jun was extraordinary.

But most of the credit for his appearance here today really can't be attributed to Shao Nianshi.

Today's He Jifeng came with a mission, and his task was to make the group of Japanese on the opposite side not mess around on the Chinese borders, and the person who assigned this task was none other than Wang Hanzhang, the commander of the Qingcheng garrison, who always liked to preserve his strength.

Of course, there are various reasons why Commander Wang was able to issue such an order today.

But the most important point of this is that the Japanese dispatched troops and no one gave him a private notice, which was too shameless for him, the owner of Qingcheng on the surface.

Today, he has to take care of this matter, and he has to take care of it if he doesn't want to.

In this chaotic Republic of China divided by warlords, face and strength are the foundation of a warlord's foothold.

If Zhang Zongchang, the menacing and well-intentioned new overseer in Shandong, knew about it, he would have one more handle to stand on a high place and reprimand him for ignoring the rights and interests of the people and attack him on this ground.

And standing in the overall situation of the country, those warlord forces who can be called on a par with him, after he avoided the war, will also look down on him from the bottom of their hearts.

Internally or externally, he has to retreat!

What's more, just after this incident happened, and after the publicity and rendering of various media, those big wealthy businessmen in Qingcheng, Yancheng and even Jicheng were also the supporters of the funds behind him, and they all called him to inquire.

The editors of those newspapers really have the backbone of literati who have not been crushed by their backbones.

The events of that day were publicized by the demonstrators and the advertisements that Shao Nian had caused chaos, and it became the first big news written by all reporters and editors.

When these ordinary people who were fighting for the interests of Qingcheng dispersed on the evening of yesterday, those who used the evening newspaper as the main body of circulation, and their mimeographed prints came out along with the report of the day.

Let's not talk about the wealthy businessmen from other places, let's talk about the newspaper readers in dozens of towns in the three small cities covered by Jiaoao and Jiaodong.

After a night of dissemination and popularization, the next morning, through dozens of newspapers in the surrounding area, most of the people in the Jiaodong Peninsula all knew what was going on in Qingcheng.

Not to mention those enthusiastic locals who spontaneously joined the procession, but only those patriotic and sober businessmen who knew the importance and did not want to rely on foreigners for profit, they would not allow the kind of news in the newspapers to happen in Qingcheng.

No matter what the real situation is, as a class with the right to speak, they must also make a warning call to the relevant people.

Unfortunately, Mayor Wang, who was frightened, was blocked on the chassis of the Japanese, and when many local wealthy businessmen called Mayor Wang's mansion, they received a more worried rhetorical question from the other party's wife.

For a while, it was impossible to confirm whether Mayor Wang was killed or whether he had taken refuge with the Japanese, so he directly called the residence of Wang Hanzhang, the commander of the Qingdao garrison, the only military force in the local area that could compete with the Japanese.

After listening to the comings of all parties, Wang Hanzhang, who originally wanted to shirk one or two, received a call from the Jicheng Provincial Government and the real patron behind him, Master Chu, at a later time.

It was precisely these two phone calls that made Wang Hanzhang agree to send his troops on a trip during the day today.

If you have to add something to Wang Hanzhang's actions, probably in the middle of the night, the representative of the first family in Qingcheng, who is said to be the only son-in-law of the first master, personally handed a box of ocean weights to his wife at home.

is the so-called wine and wealth, and men will always fall in love with one of them.

With this money beyond the military salary, doesn't it make Wang Hanzhang work harder.

Therefore, when Shao Nianshi left Commander Wang's mansion, as Wang Hanzhang's confidant, He Jifeng, who had been instructed by Shao Nianshi in advance, took over the order to block it.

He Jifeng, who is smart and good at fighting, dragged the police chief of Qingcheng out of the Zhuangzi in the suburbs in the early morning of the same day.

Even the cronies in the circle with him were wrapped in a pot by him.

It was used early this morning to press the border for the army in the Japanese concession area.

If the Japanese had not used real knives and guns, He Jifeng thought that such a huge crowd alone would be enough to crush those Japanese to death.

But who would have thought that the other side would be so rampant that it would dare to bypass China's law enforcement agencies and military and directly attack the unarmed marchers......

At this time, he Lieutenant Colonel He must appear.

Probably because Lieutenant Colonel Ho never made the mistake of belittling his opponents, he brought with him much more troops than the Japanese troops on the opposite side.

It was precisely because of the difference in numbers between the two sides that as soon as the Qingcheng garrison appeared, the shooting order to be given by the Captain Sakamoto on the opposite side suddenly stopped.

Because of the intervention of the Chinese army, the scene became quiet and solemn.

"What do you mean?"

After all, he is still a Japanese.

Just when the two armies confronted each other, Consul Fujii, who was a higher level of identity, took the lead in breaking the deadlock in the field.

But he didn't know that he was speaking this sentence with a trill.

As the other side stood opposite them with more than five times as many troops, Fujii felt a great deal of pressure.

This pressure is completely different from the treatment of mobs.

Because he felt the real murderous aura from the young officer opposite.

The mob will resist, they will obstruct, and they will even harm his personal safety.

But no matter how large the number of mobs was, Consul Fujii never felt the smell of death from the other party.

Now, the Chinese officer standing on the opposite side, he will play for real.

In addition, because of the port and shore city, Qingcheng is naturally more prosperous than the other cities.

How could a general who could be stationed in Qingcheng worry about money problems?

In addition, there is a natural friendship between Wang Hanzhang and Zhang Zuolin, and there are some Japanese arms compradors who thread the needle in it.

The nearly 500 officers and men standing opposite him were holding guns in their hands, and many of the cars driving behind them were the most common equipment used in the Japanese army.

In this case, once you fight, you will inevitably be the one who suffers.

Didn't you see that the invincible squad leader behind him was now like a great enemy?

Consul Fujii believed that if the commander on the opposite side had made up his mind, he and the less than 100 or so people behind him would probably not be able to run away today.

Then, in the midst of Fujii's thoughts, he heard a clear answer from the direct commander on the other side: "I want to ask what the consul means." ”

"As the garrison of Qingcheng, your duty is to keep the people safe, and I don't know why you raised your weapons and wanted to attack the people who were powerless. ”

"But when you attack the mayor of my Chinese government, I see it clearly. ”

"It's better to leave it to the top officials of our two sides to communicate and negotiate. ”

"I think it won't be long before someone right comes to you to ask for an explanation. ”

"The guilt of hurting my Chinese government official is not as simple as your little officer who doesn't know the height of the sky thinks. ”

"He will definitely be punished as he deserves, and awaits the harshest trial of his soldiers and our Chinese army. ”

"But today, I have only one duty, and that is to maintain the security of Qingcheng and the stability of the people's lives. ”

"These ordinary people are the ones we want to protect. ”

"As for their demands, it seems that the current situation does not seem to be able to negotiate calmly. ”

"I don't care about the confrontation between you, I only know, if you go out of the army, I will go out of the army, and if you withdraw from the army, I will withdraw from the army!"

"So, what I want now is to withdraw from the Japanese Concession, which is not a land where your Japanese troops can stop. ”

"This so-called concession area is just a place for ordinary people in Japan to live and work. ”

"I remember that the concession treaty didn't stipulate that you could station troops. ”

"If we follow normal military procedures, I can wipe out all of your troops who appear in the concession area now, but our commander said that for the sake of you being a first-time offender, you only need to hand over the culprit who injured people. ”

"You quit the rental world, that's all for today!"

Consul Fujii was really relieved about this, as for the squad leader behind him who was still thinking about jumping up and resisting?

Before the other party could say anything, he was choked in his throat by Fujii's roar.

"Bastard, shut up, do you want us all to be killed here?"

"We can't abandon the lives of hundreds of members of our Japanese army on this senseless battlefield because of your recklessness alone!"

"Our original idea has been completely unrealized! The plan for armed suppression has completely failed!"

"Then you need to calm down and think of another way, if you abandon all our lives for the sake of your so-called aristocratic dignity, our Fujii family will definitely ask your Sakamoto family for an explanation!

"You know you're not the only nobleman here!!"

"It's not the Warring States period anymore!!"

Fujii uttered these words in Japanese, and after he finished shouting them, he turned his head and said something else to He Jifeng in Chinese with a Jiaodong accent.

"Okay, we're willing to quit the army, but we can't hand over to you the soldier who hurt your mayor, because this soldier is not under the management of our consulate. ”

"In the same way, Your Excellency didn't expect such a thing to happen, so why don't you go back and report to your commander first, and let him do the follow-up work according to the situation. ”

"After all, the purpose of your rush here was just to stop the occurrence of the wounded incident, but now I didn't expect that we haven't carried out a large-scale crackdown, and the only injured person present is Mayor Wang. ”

"It's better to go back first, and we in Japan will express our apologies to the Chinese government, and will apologize to Mayor Wang with the most sincere apology. ”

"But these things must not be achieved today, we each take a step back, it is better to withdraw our troops. ”

Speaking of this, Consul Fujii also bowed deeply to the large group of people opposite, and stretched out his hand to point in the direction of the army behind him: "We Japanese soldiers are not many, but there is a team of nearly 100 people. ”

"If there is really a confrontation at this time, the hundreds of police teams in front of you, and the elites you bring out will all suffer casualties. ”

"In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, we must also value peace. ”
