Tiantongan, the entrance of the Japanese Navy Headquarters, Joseph led the team to confront Hasegawa, the atmosphere was extremely tense, the bullets had been loaded, but no one gave the order to shoot first.

The two leaders, Joseph and Hasegawa, were all sweating at the moment, and everyone didn't dare to make any changes at this time, and even their breathing was deliberately lightened a lot.

Joseph is under a lot of pressure, his original intention was to take someone out of Watermelon Taro to avenge his son, in order to relieve the hatred in his heart, he didn't want to start a war, to be honest, Joseph has no right, no qualification to start a war, once this side is shot, he was killed by the Japanese, whether the United States will avenge Joseph or not, these are two things.

Joseph was almost certain that if he died in battle, the top leaders would take the opportunity to demand favors from Japan, and that his own death would be a bargaining chip for political exchange.

So Joseph was under pressure, he didn't want to shoot.

And Hase-Hirakawa is also under great pressure, now that Sino-Japanese relations are so tense, and the situation in Shanghai is extremely delicate, if this kind of moment provokes the United States, isn't this adding fuel to the fire? Once, because he provoked the United States, resulting in a major stock speculation in the Shanghai situation or the North China battlefield, then he was a sinner of the Japanese Empire!

So Hasegawa didn't want to fight, as a tough gas just now, in Hase's opinion, this was just a bargaining chip.

What he wants to tell Joseph is, you are not afraid to beat me, you have to talk, and don't prevaricate me with watermelon Taro, and directly say what you want to do and what benefits you want.

So, Hasegawa just wants to express an attitude, I can give the benefits, but don't open your mouth with a few lions.

To put it bluntly, neither of them wants to fight, and now they are facing each other, just wanting to take a little initiative in the next negotiations.

The conflict between the two countries is a decision that can only be made after discussions at the top level of the state, and Joseph and Hasegawa cannot affect the overall situation.

Therefore, this battle will definitely not be fought.

If Zheng Long was here, he would definitely put a cold gun, pit the people on both sides, and let them fight, but Zheng Long was not there, no one fired the gun, and the two sides naturally started talking.

Sure enough, the two sides confronted each other for about a minute, and Hasegawa was the first to reply, he looked at Joseph and said, "Do you really want to cause a war between the two countries?" ”

Joseph scolded in Chinese, "You hand over the watermelon Taro to me." ”

"We don't have a watermelon taro here!" Hasegawa's face turned red, and he said in not very fluent Chinese, "Who is this damn watermelon Taro?" ”

"Without Watermelon Taro, who the crippled my son?" Joseph yelled.

"How the do I know? (Japanese)" Hirakawa Hasei held back for a long time and scolded in Japanese, and the translator next to him hurriedly translated it in relatively mild words.

"You mean you don't make a handover?" Joseph's face was gloomy as if he had eaten, the color of pig liver, and his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"We don't have an officer named Watermelon Taro here at all, we in the Great Japanese Empire, we will never tell a lie, if there is a lie, I am willing to gamble with the honor of the empire!" Hasegawa was about to go crazy, and said seriously and seriously.

Joseph carefully observed Hasegawa's face, and saw that Hasegawa began to swear by the honor and disgrace of the empire, which made Joseph muttered a little in his heart, and the whole person calmed down a lot.

"There must be a misunderstanding here!" Seeing that Joseph did not reply, Hasegawa hurriedly added another sentence.

"Anyway, this matter must have something to do with you, don't try to fool the past like this." Joseph's tone was still stiff, but his face softened a lot.

In fact, after Joseph calmed down, he also realized that he was impulsive, but now that the troops have pulled over, they didn't succeed, and finally pulled back in a gray way, which will make people see jokes, which is equivalent to saying that Joseph is now carried here, and he can't retreat, he can't advance, he can only find a step down.

Hasegawa is really worthy of being the boss of the headquarters, IQ and EQ are all online, after he saw Joseph's expression softened, he knew that things were slowing down, and now Joseph just wants a face, a step, as long as he gives this step, this matter will pass, but how to give steps, this is also an art, give more, his face is not good-looking, give less, and the face of the United States is not good-looking, so how to grasp this degree is a very deep knowledge.

"Mr. Joseph, can you come forward and talk about it?" After thinking about it for a while, Hasegawa asked tentatively.

When Joseph heard this, he got off the roof of the car with a cold snort, and walked towards Hasegawa, he knew that it was Hasegawa who handed him a ladder, and Joseph also went down the slope to listen to Hase's conditions.

The two of them, each with an interpreter, walked away from the crowd, walked to a relatively remote place, and whispered for about half an hour, during which the soldiers on both sides had been on full alert to prevent emergencies.

Half an hour later, at about five o'clock in the morning, Joseph and Hasegawa had finished discussing and reached an agreement.

Subsequently, Joseph announced that it was a misunderstanding, that the murderer wanted to deliberately provoke a conflict between the two countries, and that the two sides would jointly send people throughout Shanghai to find Watermelon Taro.

This was a condition on the surface, and secretly, Hasegawa also promised to give Joseph a thousand catties of silver, a number of weapons and ammunition, etc.

At five o'clock in the morning, Joseph led people away with the first rays of sunshine in the morning, and Hasegawa watched Joseph and the others leave, his face changed from smiling to gradually gloomy.

As a result, the contradiction deliberately provoked by Zheng Long ended with the Japanese suffering a loss.

Subsequently, Hasegawa ordered Yoshiko Kawashima to launch the entire intelligence system in Shanghai and make every effort to search for the man who called himself Watermelon Taro.

Of course, Hase Hirakawa did this on purpose to show Joseph, and he didn't want to look for it at all, because he had more important things to do.

Joseph ordered to carefully investigate the watermelon Taro, but there was no surveillance, and in the old days when there were no specific means, it was no less difficult to find a person in the vast sea of people than to find a needle in a haystack, and as for the investigation by human means, let alone with Zheng Long's anti-reconnaissance ability, no one in the whole of Shanghai could catch him at all.

The turmoil caused by a discord meter casually designed by Zheng Long did not last long before it was drowned out by a series of major events.

A new storm, the biggest war ever, is about to begin!
