H2> Hua Fu Army's search operation in the Public Concession began, although the negotiation was led by the police of the Public Concession Patrol House to lead the Hua Fu Army soldiers to search, but as soon as Hua Fu Army entered the Public Concession, they did not stop in other places at all, and directly killed the Japanese area in the Concession.

When the police saw that Hua Fujun did not go to search the areas where British and American expatriates lived, they received orders that they were optimistic that Hua Fujun would not harass their own nationals, and naturally they were happy to save trouble.

"Will, you see that the guns used by those Huafu soldiers are guns that I haven't seen before, but they feel very powerful, and their military uniforms are very beautiful, and they are also very powerful to wear." A British policeman asked his companion.

"I know a soldier of the Republic of China who was once captured by the Huafu Army, and I heard him talk about the deeds of the Huafu Army, their guns are repeating rifles, which are as powerful as heavy machine guns, and every soldier in the Huafu Army has extraordinary combat effectiveness, fighting one up to ten." The soldier named Will said.

"It's an exaggeration." The companion took out a cigarette and gave it to Will, lit the fire and said.

"Who knows, anyway, all the 23,000 people in the 10th division where that guy is located surrendered, it seems that their two generals were captured by the Huafu army in the army, and when they were camping, they were captured under the protection of the army, so they all surrendered, and many of his companions also joined the Huafu army, and he was retreated because of smoking." Will took a deep puff of his cigarette as he spoke, apparently having become a bit addicted.

Huafu Army's action is very fast, the personnel have been encircled, with the Japanese area as the center of the continuous encirclement, and finally all the crossings in the Japanese area are blocked, at this time many expatriates in the Japanese area have noticed that things are unusual, and see that the Hongkou District where they live is besieged by soldiers, they are frightened and afraid to go out, and at this time Harada Takeshi did not know that Guo Yu actually sent troops into the public concession, Watanabe Er was by Harada Takeshi's side at this time, and had already reported to him the whole process of tonight's operation.

Watanabe II was standing in the center of the office with his head bowed at this time, not daring to look up at Harada Takeshi, who was already as angry as a wild dog, and Xingzi didn't dare to wipe the spit on his face, so he could only let them continue to flow down the sweat, and Harada Takeshi was still yelling at Watanabe Er, venting the dissatisfaction and nervousness in his heart, because the loss of the ninja warrior was too great, and he couldn't explain it to Shangfeng.

"You are such a waste, you even messed up such a simple thing, and more than forty people were killed and injured, that is the ninja warriors carefully cultivated by our Great Japanese Empire, each of them is the elite of the soldiers, and you were brought into the abyss like this, how can you be worthy of the trust of the adults in you, how can you be worthy of His Majesty the Emperor." Saying this, he was still angry, picked up the ashtray on the table and smashed it at Watanabe Er, Watanabe Er didn't dare to dodge, so he could only let the porcelain ashtray hit his forehead, and in an instant, Watanabe Er's forehead became bruised.

"It was my previous negligence, I didn't expect that the other party already had the heart to take precautions, so it was just that the warriors of the empire were brutally killed by the Huafu army." Watanabe took the initiative to admit his mistake, because he still needed Takeshi Harada to explain to him, otherwise he would be punished severely.

"Although you succeeded and burned down several factories, the loss of personnel this time is too great, this is your dereliction of duty, I will ask Takamu Kono to punish you." Takeshi Harada said.

"I accept any punishment, and ask your Excellency to explain what happened on my behalf." After speaking, Watanabe II bowed deeply.

Harada Takeshi wanted to say something more, but he heard a hurried knock on the door outside, Harada Takeshi frowned and called the other party to come in, and the military attache of the consulate, Inoue Icio, walked in quickly and said eagerly: "Consul Harada, something is wrong." ”

"What's so flustered?" Takeshi Harada reprimanded Inoue in a low voice.

"The army of the Republic of China has surrounded the Japanese area of the public concession, and now several street exits in Hongkou are martial law posts of the army of the Republic of China, and it seems that they are going to prepare to search here." Inoue said anxiously.

Listening to Inoue's words, Harada Takeshi was also shocked, and his first reaction was impossible, this is the Anglo-American public concession, how can Chinese troops be stationed here, they are not afraid of causing diplomatic disputes.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is a concession, and the Chinese army will not dare to come in." Takeshi Harada angrily scolded Inoye Kazuo.

"I've gone out to see it myself, and there are soldiers of the Chinese army at several intersections, and there will be absolutely no mistake."

Hearing this, Harada Takeshi really became nervous, could it be that Guo Yu united the British and the Americans, if that was the case, things would be troublesome, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on Harada Takeshi's forehead.

Inoue Ueo was still urging on the side: "Harada-sama, the Chinese army is about to come in, what should we do." ”

At this time, although the Japanese had the mentality of a great power and had coveted the land of China for a long time, they were not ready for an all-out war with China, so the main ideology of the current Japanese officials was still to try to extract benefits from the Republic of China.

Harada Takeshi took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then said to Inoue Icio: "Hurry up and organize the consulate guards, keep them out first, and I'll call Takamu Kono to report the situation here." ”

Inoue Uefu took the order and hurriedly went to organize the guards, Harada Takeshi picked up the phone and shook the phone with a trembling hand, and the sweet standard voice of the operator came from the other end of the phone, "May I ask where you answered sir." ”

"Hurry up and pick me up in the capital." Harada Takeshi was in the mood to listen to the nonsense of the conductor at this time, and said urgently.

The phone of the Japanese Consulate General in Beijing rang, and after ringing many times, Takamu Kono, who was woken up by the ringing of the phone, looked at the alarm clock hanging on the wall, and it was now 3 o'clock in the morning.

Takamaki Kono picked up the phone and said, "Who is it, what's the matter?" ”

Harada Takeshi didn't care about the displeasure in Kono Takamu's tone at this time, and said directly: "Lord Kono, something big has happened, Guo Yu has sent people to surround the Shanghai Public Concession and want to search our Japanese area, what do you think." ”

Harada Takeshi's few words made Takamu Kono, who was still a little sleepy, immediately sober up, took the phone and hurriedly said: "Why did things get so troublesome, you hurry up and explain it to me in detail." ”

Takeshi Harada hurriedly told Takamaki Kono what happened tonight, from sending Watanabe II to destroy the silk factory in the Jiangsu Industrial Zone, to the ninja team being ambushed and suffering heavy losses, and then Guo Yu sent troops to besiege the Japanese area of the Shanghai Public Concession.

When Kono Takamu heard this, he couldn't believe that Guo Yu dared to send troops to surround the public concession, this is the territory of the great powers of various countries, even the government of the Republic of China would not dare to make such a move. He really couldn't figure out why this Guo Yu dared to provoke the bottom line of various countries, and he also went against the Japanese Empire many times.

"Guo Yu must be stopped, he must not be allowed to send troops into the Japanese area, if Guo Yu really sent troops to search the Japanese area, even if the empire can punish Guo Yu in the future, it will be our shame, if that is the case, you will wait for the most severe punishment." Takamu Kono said sharply.

Harada Yizhi complained in his heart, he didn't have a single soldier in his hands now, and he only relied on the dozens of guards in the consulate, how could he resist Guo Yu's Huafu army, it is said that the Huafu army stationed in Shanghai has a regiment of troops.

"Lord Kono, what should I do if Guo Yu forcibly breaks into the Japanese area of the Public Concession." Takeshi Harada asked again.

"Harada-kun, your act of sending people to attack the Jiangsu Industrial Zone is just your own single act, and you have to bear what kind of consequences you have, remember my words, the Japanese Empire will not send people to attack other people's legitimate industries." Takamaki Kono suddenly whispered these words.

Harada Takeshi was stunned after listening to Takamaki Kono's words, and when he reacted, he shouted into the phone: "Kono-sama, Kono-sama" But after calling for a long time, there was no response on the phone, and it should have been the other party who hung up the phone.

Takeshi Harada's right hand holding the phone slipped from his ear, and his eyes stared at the phone in a daze, and he didn't even notice that the phone slipped out of his hand. Was he abandoned, and now he figured out that even if Guo Yu didn't lead his troops to rush into the Japanese area of the Public Concession and didn't catch any of the ninja clans, he would not be able to escape the responsibility of being held accountable. Because Guo Yu has already brought people into the public concession, this matter will definitely be hyped up tomorrow, and he can be fooled today, and the Japanese government will also hold him accountable for his unfavorable actions, and his political career is over like this, Harada Yizhi suddenly felt unwilling in his heart.

"Harada-sama, are you okay?" Watanabeji, who had been on the sidelines, saw the whole thing happening, and naturally knew that several of them were in trouble.

Harada Takeshi raised his head and saw Watanabe Er, his anger rose from his heart, and he raised his hand and gave Watanabe Er a big mouth, "Stupid, it's all because you are not doing well that things have developed to such an uncontrollable point, and now we will all be finished." Harada Takeshi scolded Watanabe two loudly, only in this way can he vent the depression in his heart a little.

"Hai, but Harada-sama, what should we do now, Guo Yu's army is still outside."

After venting, Harada Takeshi gradually calmed down, he couldn't just accept his fate, at least he couldn't lose so completely, although Guo Yu besieged the Japanese area of the public concession, but he shouldn't dare to openly break in and search without his permission, he must stop him in order to recover further losses.

Harada Takeshi hurriedly said: "You hurry up and secretly meet the Watanabe Dojo, hide the rest of the ninja warriors, and you must not let Guo Yu's Huafu Army search you, I will stop his search behavior, and I will pass this level today." ”

Listening to Harada Takeshi's words, Watanabe didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to the Kaidokan from the side door of the consulate to arrange the matter of hiding, and Harada Takeshi tidied up his somewhat messy suit, took a deep breath, raised his head up, and walked out of the door of the consulate with steps that he thought he was quite strong.
