Miyazaki had long known that he would become a "Japanese traitor" after choosing to join the People's Party, and he didn't even need to imagine it himself, Chen Ke clearly explained the matter to Miyazaki monstrous earlier. However, Miyazaki didn't care about this, in Miyazaki's view, joining the People's Party was the only way to save Japan, so the infamy did not make Miyazaki feel any unease or fear.

Chen Ke made a request to the Japanese members of the People's Party, hoping that these comrades would mobilize their social relations in Japan and prevent Japan from intervening in the Chinese civil war as much as possible. Miyazaki and other Japanese party members first participated in propaganda work against the captured Japanese army. Not only that, but they also suggested to Chen Ke to contact the remaining socialists and socialist sympathizers in Japan and influence the political situation in Japan as much as possible through them.

Miyazaki himself asked Ying to write letters to some "upper-class progressives" in Japan, trying to get these people to exert influence on the political situation in Japan. To Miyazaki's surprise, Chen Ke was not too enthusiastic about this, and even asked Miyazaki to cooperate with other Japanese comrades in this matter with the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs. The People's Internal Affairs Committee was responsible for suppressing the counter-revolution, and Miyazaki was not very receptive to Chen Ke's arrangement, and he felt that even the persuasion letter contained a lot of personal matters, and the fact that the People's Internal Affairs Committee had intervened was to a certain extent questioning the credibility of the Japanese comrades.

The Japanese love to play yin, and in the organizational discipline of the People's Party, they are resolutely opposed to engaging in any petty actions, and since the involvement of the People's Internal Affairs Committee is completely open, it is difficult for Miyazaki and others to say anything. There will be many meetings of the People's Party, and Miyazaki simply held a meeting with the Japanese comrades involved in this matter.

After listening to Miyazaki's monstrous questioning, Hitoshi Kuroshima bluntly expressed his opposition, "Comrade Miyazaki, I resolutely support the intervention of the People's Internal Affairs Committee. To be open-minded, you have to have practical proof, and it's too easy to just talk about it. With the intervention of comrades from the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs, we have been proven. Chairman Chen seems to be unkind to many times, but he himself pays the most attention to reducing trouble for everyone. ”

Miyazaki didn't agree with this, "Comrade Kuroshima means that there must be comrades in the People's Party who disagree with us?" ”

Before Kuroshima could speak, Umegawa Ueyoshi burst out laughing, "Comrade Miyazaki, our People's Party's policies are effective and highly targeted. It stands to reason that the masses should firmly support us, right? In fact, the masses did follow us for their own interests, but ...... this evaluation and recognition! We can only say that we did our best. ”

After Umegawa finished speaking, Hitoshi Kuroshima took over, "Comrade Miyazaki, it's not that Chairman Chen doesn't believe in us now. I think that Chairman Chen always believes in us, and because he believes in us, Chairman Chen will do his best to avoid trouble for us. Let me ask you a question, how useful do you think this letter will be after it is written? ”

Miyazaki replied very truthfully, "It should be of limited use." ”

Kuroshima Ren smiled: "That's right. Since it is impossible to write a letter with immediate results, it is very likely that a call from Japan will happen immediately. If there were no comrades from the People's Internal Affairs Committee involved in this matter, and someone would have to link this, how would you explain it then? It's one thing for us to have a clear conscience for ourselves, it's another thing to be able to convince everyone about us. This has to be ensured by the system. ”

The implication in these words is that the People's Party will never trust anyone, and Miyazaki feels awkward no matter how he thinks about it. However, Miyazaki has also been involved in the underworld and has been deceived many times, so he is naturally not naïve enough to believe that people's hearts will be extremely simple. Therefore, Kuroshima Ren has emphasized that this is Chen Ke's concern for his comrades, and other Japanese comrades have also said that they do not care about this, and Miyazaki no longer has any objections to this.

After writing the letter, Miyazaki thought that he could get a certain response. The result disappointed Miyazaki, and the People's Party naturally refused to risk the arrest of his comrades to contact a few bigwigs. And those socialists who were not famous before have left their homes and cannot be contacted for a while. Miyazaki was not an easy person to admit defeat, and he immediately applied to Chen Ke to go to North Korea to contact the Korean heroes. Chen Ke bluntly objected this time. "Comrade Miyazaki, the war is about to begin, and all our forces will be thrown into the war, so we can't accept extraneous things for the time being."

"Doesn't Chairman Chen have any intention of liberating North Korea?" Miyazaki asked.

"Of course, I have this plan, so I can't give any stimulus to the Japanese authorities in the near future." Chen Ke replied.

"So what is Chairman Chen going to do in the near future?" Miyazaki was puzzled by Chen Ke's choice.

"In the near future, we will drive the British out of the Yangtze River." Chen Ke gave Miyazaki a monstrous answer. Hearing this goal, Miyazaki's monstrous eyes lit up. A few months ago, the People's Party had been shouting that it would drive the British out of China's Yangtze River, but it had not taken any action at all. Miyazaki didn't expect the People's Party to start acting now.

Chen Ke continued, "We need to supervise all the Japanese in Wuhan, and this requires Comrade Miyazaki to be involved in this matter. ”

"Resolutely obey orders!" Miyazaki immediately replied.

On June 4, the BJP Navy sent a certain number of small boats on the river early in the morning, each of which was piled up with a bunch of mine-shaped things. The soldiers on board threw the mines from the boat into the water, and the black stuff with dozens of trigger rods scattered all over the hedgehog began to drift along the river. The British fleet, for the sake of demonstration, sailed to the vicinity of Wuhan. On 2 June, they received a notice from the People's Party that the People's Party was going to conduct a military exercise and demanded that the British warships leave the Yangtze River. The BJP has been shouting such demands for a long time, and the British really don't take it seriously. It wasn't until the lookout found that a group of suspected mines were looming along the river in the early morning with a slight mist on the river, and a shrill siren sounded on the British warship.

Although the Yangtze River is a wide waterway, it is not a sea that can be left to the will of British warships, and the British have no way to take advantage of the range of their artillery. The defect of the BJP was that it did not have large-caliber artillery capable of destroying the British warship, which was why the British warship dared to insist on staying in Wuhan despite the BJP's warning. After an artillery battle between the two sides, the People's Party's largest caliber 75 guns could not penetrate the armor of the British warship under any circumstances.

But this is just an artillery battle, and mines are different. A mine can be equipped with hundreds of kilograms of explosives, and a warship can lose its combat effectiveness or even sink if it touches one. It is true that the People's Party has told the British to "act" that they will "act", and it is not for nothing that the People's Party has done anything about the performance of the mines laid on the river. It's just that the British Navy did muster up the courage to hold on, and they thought that the BJP did not have the courage to take action against Britain before the start of the civil war.

No matter how sure you are sure of the armor of your warship, no matter how sure you are, the People's Party will not dare to use swords against the British Empire. British Navy officers would not feel comfortable in their hearts when they saw what was suspected to be a mine. The Fleet Commander refused to count the intimidation of the British in vain, and since the People's Party had challenged the British, the British Navy had bravely accepted the challenge. Naturally, it was not possible to use the main artillery, and the fleet commander immediately issued an order, "Use rapid-fire secondary guns to shoot at river mines!" ”

The signal man flew to the communication tube and began to give orders towards the secondary gun position. Moments later, the British Navy showed its refined military skills, and in a series of cannon fires, white sprays were set up high by the explosion of shells near the mines on the river. Not only the flagship, but the secondary guns on other warships in the fleet soon joined the firing chorus.

The British Navy was very experienced, and the mines sank quickly after being concentrated by the shells, and there were no large amounts of wood debris floating in the river, which allowed the British Navy to quickly discover that these simulated mines were not wooden. The People's Party's mines are huge, and they are constantly flowing down the river. However, the number of shells of the British Navy is limited, even if the caliber of the secondary artillery shells is not large, but the number carried by a warship will not be too much. In the beginning, for every time a "mine" was sunk, the British naval artillerymen would let out cheers, and after a while, the cheers gradually disappeared.

"Stop shelling, warships maneuver, avoid mines." The commander of the British fleet gave a new order. Since it is impossible to solve all the mines with artillery strikes, let's show the boat-driving skills of the British Navy. In the early days, because many "mines" were sunk, it was easy for British warships to evade. However, after the next wave of mines came, the British Navy's Yangtze River Fleet finally heard the "clang" sound of the "mines" hitting the hull of the warship. This is not a loud sound, but it means that if the "mines" were real, a large hole would appear in the hull of the British warship with a violent explosion.

The crashing sound became more and more frequent, and finally the British warship was faced with the question of whether to fight back. If it does not fight back, it means that the BJP's provocation has achieved its goal. They have already "sunk" British warships during this "exercise". If there is a counterattack, then the war will surely expand dramatically. In the end, the fleet commander could only be silent.

The next day, Miyazaki was leading his troops into the concession to "invite Japanese businessmen," and for four or five days in a row, the People's Party troops entered the concession on a large scale, and the first thing they did was to seal the doors of all the patrol houses in the concession, and the People's Party troops immediately took over all the security inspection work in the concession.

The only real resistance that emerged was when the BJP ordered the patrolmen to disarm, and at first the courage of the foreign patrols was limited to shouting. Facing the muzzle of the black hole, these guys who dared to shout at the beginning quickly lowered their voices. However, when it came time to order them to disarm, there were really a few backbone guys who were resolutely opposed.
