But Su Zongzhe didn't know that Tu Qianjun's plan didn't stop there! For a time, the international shock! And the Japanese cabinet is in a hurry!

"死に失ない!" Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka fiercely "Ping Pong!" at an emergency cabinet meeting. With a bang, the tea bowl in his hand was smashed! Kneeling beside him sat Japanese War Minister Yoshinori Shirakawa, Interior Minister Kizaburo Suzuki, Navy Minister Keisuke Okada, and Treasury Minister Mito Tadazo.

Since the new Prime Minister's Office has not yet been completed, the current Prime Minister's Office is still located in the Prime Minister's Residence, which was converted from the Prime Minister's official residence, and is a Western-style two-story wooden building with a Japanese-style interior, and Tanaka Yoshiichi's secret conference room is decorated with tatami mats according to Japanese customs. However, it should be emphasized that the "official residence" here is completely different from what we call the "official residence", and the prime minister only works here, not lives here.

Therefore, the Prime Minister's Office is only the office of the Prime Minister. Similar to the State Council of later generations, the residence of the Prime Minister is called the "Prime Minister's Residence" and is located next to the official residence.

At this time, Yoshiichi Tanaka handed over the newspaper in his hand to the secretary beside him, while the rest of the cabinet ministers had a translated copy of the original newspaper of the "New York Times". Kizaburo Suzuki said with a gloomy face and coldly: "It's okay if Sakai's documents are seized, after all, Britain and the United States haven't gotten these documents yet, but how could Saito directly drive civilians to make meat shields?!" Is his brain in water?! Where is the face of the empire when this kind of thing gets out?! Doesn't this idiot know how much of a diplomatic crisis the empire will face if it does?! たわけもの！！ ”

And the Minister of War Shirakawa Yoshiro heard Suzuki Kizaburo's angry scolding but didn't say a word, because Saito Ryu was a general under his command. He, the chief, is to blame for this kind of thing, but in fact, Shirakawa Yoshinori also knows why this situation happened. Isn't it just that there is a group of people who constantly inculcate in the army that "strong women and robbery are necessary means to improve morale"?! Even strong women have done it and looted, so it is not surprising that civilians are hijacked as meat shields to attack enemy positions.

Actually, if Saito Ryu wins, it will be enough. Shirakawa Yoshinori may still look at the face of his achievements after all, but Saito Liu, a fool, actually hijacked civilians to attack and failed! What else can he say about this?! So in the face of Suzuki Kizaburo's angry scolding, he could only remain silent. And the Minister of Finance, Mito Tadazo, saw that Shirakawa Yoshinori was actually very angry now, so he hurriedly said: "Suzuki-kun, now is not the time to hold accountable!" The first thing we should solve is how to reduce our losses and save the face of the empire. After all, the impact of this incident is too bad! The British and American sides have already sent diplomatic notes to us to express their grave concern over the Jinan incident! If this matter is not handled well, then perhaps Britain and the United States will turn to the side of China, and will work with them to further reduce the interests of the empire in China! ”

Hearing Santu's words, all the cabinet ministers were silent. They actually know that what Santu Zhongzao said is polite! The American ambassador and the British ambassador came together and clearly expressed to Tanaka Yoshiichi the serious concern of their respective "governments" about the Jinan incident! In particular, the consulates and civilians of the two countries staying in Jinan, and even directly threatened that if things continue to deteriorate, they may consider sending troops directly to Jinan to end the incident!

The cabinet ministers finally saw the extremely tough attitude of Britain and the United States, and if it was only the threat of Britain, perhaps Japan would not have cared too much. But if it is a threat from the United States, then the Japanese have to face it squarely! Guy America stationed an entire Marine Brigade in Tianjin, with more than 4,000 officers and men!

This force consisted of Smedley. Brigadier General Butler commanded. At this time, Butler's fame was at the height of his fame, as his troops were well-armed with tanks and field guns. What's more, he actually has his own air force, and the number of planes reaches twenty! This force is unique among all the commanders of the foreign brigade stationed in North China. In addition to the Marine Corps, the United States also has the 15th Infantry Regiment stationed in Tianjin all year round, and a 600-strong Marine Task Force in Beijing to guard the American Embassy full-time!

The superposition of the front and rear forces shows that the US military strength in China is close to 10,000 people! Moreover, they are fully equipped and even have air power, so once they decide to intervene by force, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the Japanese army! And at this time, most of Japan's steel and oil ...... and other strategic materials are almost dependent on imports from the United States. Therefore, when the United States made it clear that it was possible to intervene by force, the Japanese cabinet naturally became nervous!
