After destroying industrial facilities along the coast of Osaka Bay, the Chinese Navy's Home Fleet detachment sailed out of Osaka Bay and came to the Pacific Ocean to replenish supplies. During the daytime battles, although the results were very good, the consumption of ammunition was also very large.

Early the next morning, the fleet entered the Seto Inland Sea and continued to destroy the industrial base of the southern Honshu region. The Seto Inland Sea is conveniently located as an important industrial region and economic center in southern Japan. When the Chinese fleet entered the Seto Inland Sea, it carried out a devastating blow to the industrial facilities along the coast. The southern part of Japan's main island is relatively narrow, and although most Japanese have had to abandon their homes and evacuate to the interior, many remain. In the case of a blow by the Chinese fleet on Japanese industrial facilities, if there is no resistance, it is generally only the destruction of the industrial area. If the Japanese army resisted, it would inflict even greater losses on Japan. Under the attack of the Chinese fleet, the Seto Inland Sea, which was originally busy with traffic, suddenly became deserted, causing very large losses to Japan.

On the morning of 20 July, when the Chinese Navy was wantonly destroying Japan's industrial facilities in the Seto Inland Sea, Japanese Prime Minister Aritomo Yamayama held a press conference in Tokyo to complain to Western reporters about China's atrocities.

"Fellow journalists, I would like to invite you here today. There is a big event to announce to everyone. Yesterday, in Kobe, Japan. The Chinese navy brazenly shelled residential areas in Kobe, killing 100,000 civilians and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. Although Japan and China are currently at war, China's wanton massacre of civilians should be condemned by the whole world. The Japanese government will lodge a stern protest with the Chinese government, demanding that the Chinese government apologize to Japan and compensate Japan for its losses! Youpeng said with a sad face. This little old man looked like a dead father. It's a pity not to be an actor.

"Oh God! 100,000 civilians died, the Chinese government is committing another crime! I will certainly expose this barbaric act of the Chinese government to the American people! A blonde young woman said with a shocked expression. She is an American journalist, and the United States is now an ally of Japan for China's atrocities in Japan. Of course, she will add fuel to the fire in the United States to achieve the goal of smearing China.

"Beautiful young lady, thank you very much!" Youpeng of Shan County hurriedly thanked, but a smile flashed in his eyes. In fact, casualties among civilians in Kobe. Less than 10,000 people, and as for hundreds of thousands of people who were homeless, it was all because the residents of Kobe were evacuated in advance before the Chinese Navy attacked Kobe. However, this is a good opportunity for China to detain the. Of course, there are friends in Shan County, who will not let it go.

Subsequently, journalists from various countries also spoke. They condemned the atrocities of the Chinese navy and said that they would definitely expose China's atrocities to the people at home. This makes Yamaguchi very happy, and if Japan can get the support of the whole world, even if it is only supported by public opinion, it will also make Japan gain a lot. The angry people in Western countries will definitely put pressure on their governments, whether they want their governments to support Japan or attack China, which is very beneficial to Japan. Even some German journalists, after learning the news, were a little dissatisfied with China, and although their reports would not add fuel to the fire, they obviously would not help China say good things.

At the same time, at the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Minister Shuzo Aoki is meeting with foreign ministers in Japan.

"Ministers, savage Chinese, they massacred the unarmed Japanese people yesterday and are still shelling our coastal areas, causing huge losses to our innocent people. Japan implores that all countries can lend a helping hand to Japan and help Japan overcome this difficult time! Aoki Shuzo said with a sad and indignant face.

It's just that these diplomats are not as easy to deal with as those reporters, and although they are not very clear about what happened in Kobe, they also know that Japan must have added a lot of water. However, these countries have already declared war on China anyway, and they will not demolish Japan, and they have also denounced the Chinese government. Anyway, if you say a few words, you don't need money.

"Consuls, Japan now needs a lot of aid, food, steel, and all kinds of chemical products are indispensable to our war against China, and I hope that you can now provide assistance to Japan before China's blockade of Japan is fully formed. Otherwise, once Japan is defeated, it will greatly increase the difficulty for countries to defeat China! Shuzo Aoki said that he wanted to fight for a little benefit for Japan in various countries.

"Your Excellency, China's blockade of Japan is nearing completion, and according to the information we have received, a large number of Chinese warships are heading towards Japan, and a tight blockade will soon be formed. At that time, even if we give Japan support, we will not be able to bring it in. It may be very difficult for Japan now, but as long as we hold on until we defeat China, Japan's crisis will be resolved. At that time, the losses suffered by Japan can be regained exponentially from China! Said the British minister to Japan.

"That's right! The British Navy is already preparing for an expedition to the Far East, and our US Navy's West Coast Fleet will soon launch an attack on the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet. Soon we will be able to win! The U.S. Minister to China also said. As for how long he said it would be in the near future, no one knows. As early as when the Chinese Navy annihilated the Japanese Navy and the Chinese Far East Fleet, the US West Coast Fleet immediately withdrew to the San Diego base and did not dare to go to sea again.

"Our million-dollar jackpot is about to be ready and will soon launch an attack on northern China. Those weak yellow-skinned monkeys are definitely no match for the great Russian soldiers, and we will soon be able to attack Beijing! The Russian minister to China said unashamedly. As if they would soon be able to defeat the Chinese Army. Only when the war on land is fought will he know how wrong he is.

Japan's foreign ministers were very speechless. Obviously, these countries hope that Japan can continue to confront China, but when it comes to supporting Japan, everyone is like an iron rooster, refusing to pull out a single hair.

On the same day, the Japanese emperor also issued an imperial edict to the Japanese people, asking the 40 million Japanese people to unite to resist the invasion of China, and assured the people that the final victory would definitely belong to Japan. The difficulties that Japan is now facing are only temporary. Japan's allies are about to launch an attack on China, and when the time comes, Japan will win the final victory.

The emperor has a high status in the minds of the Japanese. As soon as the imperial edict of the Japanese emperor was issued, those brain-dead Japanese immediately stopped complaining, and even if their homes were in ruins, they all endured it bitterly. They expected the promise made by the emperor for them to come true. Even if it turns out to be empty, it is not the emperor's fault, but the incompetence of the high-ranking officials. After the emperor issued the imperial edict, the whole of Japan united again and fought stubbornly against China, even if it did not hesitate to pay more losses.

The next day, Western newspapers devoted a large amount of space to the atrocities committed by the Chinese Navy in Kobe. In particular, the newspapers of Britain, France, the United States, and Russia have done their best to add fuel to the fire, which has greatly affected China's image in the West. Those bewitched people even launched a march against China, demanding that the government launch an attack on China and save the weak and kind Japanese. Even in Germany, a traditionally close country to China, protests against China broke out. It can be seen from this that Japan's strategy of winning over the same period and vilifying China has been very successful.

As early as the evening of 20 March, Wang Yuze received relevant news that although the Chinese envoy to Japan had withdrawn to China, the Chinese intelligence agencies left behind in Japan were still operating. However, this time it was Lucas, the German ambassador to China, who asked to see Wang Yuze. This also made Wang Yuze feel the strictness of things.

"Your Majesty, can you sue me, is Japan's accusation true? Did the Chinese Navy really kill 100,000 civilians in Kobe? As soon as he saw Wang Yuze, Lucas asked straight to the point.

"Uncle Lucas, you have all been deceived by the Japanese government. Japanese civilians in Kobe have already been evacuated. When the Chinese navy attacked Kobe, there were less than 50,000 people left in Kobe. Where can there be a hundred thousand casualties! Wang Yuze said.

After hearing Wang Yuze's affirmative answer, Lucas was obviously relieved, but he still said with some displeasure: "It is not right for the army to attack civilians. The German ** team will never attack innocent civilians! ”

Wang Yuze was quite speechless, don't let Lucas say it so righteously, in fact, the German ** team is not much better. Especially in World War II, the Germans killed countless Jews, although this was largely due to Hitler's demagogy. But when Germany invaded other countries, it also killed countless civilians, and in the process, it was accompanied by robbery. Rape and so on. In war, human nature is undoubtedly the most despicable, and after experiencing high-intensity battles, soldiers often have a tyrannical love for killing. Of course, the same happened when Germany was defeated and the Soviets invaded Germany. Therefore, in war, there is no such thing as justice, only killing for the sake of profit.
