"Damn, you bandits, hurry up and let us go, my companion is going to die, he needs to be healed!"

The captain roared angrily at the Japanese soldiers, and just an hour ago, one of the crew members suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen, and at first he didn't care, but after an hour, he couldn't stand it anymore, and he was rolling on the deck in pain, his face was beads of sweat, and the rest of the crew were also anxious.

"Hurry up and let us go, you've been searching for six hours and haven't found anything, you damn bastards!"

The crew of the Moon Goddess was completely angry, they sailed on the high seas, even if there was any problem on board, the US government had to take care of it, but now the Japanese rushed up for no reason and wantonly inspected it, which has seriously violated the dignity of the United States.

Now another crew member suddenly fell ill, which made it even more unbearable for them. The Americans were furious, the Japanese were also restless at this time, and Taro Ueno, who was in charge of the search, was like a gambler who had lost a red eye, and he knew that if he couldn't find anything, not only him, but even the Japanese government would be in big trouble.

He grabbed Chen Qiming's chest violently and roared loudly: "Zhina, say!" Where did all the equipment on board go, and where did it go? ”

"What equipment? There is no equipment at all, I opened a foreign car factory in Mukden, bought a batch of rubber and copper ore, we have detailed documents to prove it, you can search casually! ”

"Yaga! You're lying, I'm going to kill you! ”

Just as Ueno was going crazy, two more warships appeared in the distance and quickly rushed towards this side, one carrying the American flag and the other with the British flag.

Upon learning that their cargo ship had been hijacked, the Americans were furious. Their Liliang in North China was not strong, so they could only pull the British and rush to the scene of the incident. As an old hegemon, the British were very shrewd, and they did not want a conflict between the United States and Japan, which would only threaten the order of the Far East, so they could not help but come.

The two warships rushed over as fast as they could, forming a confrontation with the three Japanese warships, and the United States and Britain did not care about the threat of the Japanese, and they also sent small boats. Embarked on the Moon Goddess. At this time, the crew member was rolling back and forth on the deck due to severe pain, his face was pale, and there were several Japanese soldiers watching with loaded guns on the side.

"Shit, you sons of bitches. Don't you see that he is dying, weishenme does not heal our people? ”

After the U.S. Navy came up. I saw such a scene. Immediately went berserk, first hijacking the ship, and then recklessly disregarding human life, but the life and death of American citizens, this is a big matter, which is equivalent to adding fuel to the fire.

The American officer asked the captain about the situation. Then he sneered and said: "Your illegal hijacking of American ships is a despicable act of piracy, and I ask that you must be allowed to do so immediately, otherwise the government of the United States will take all necessary actions." ”

The Americans completely turned on their faces. Taro Ueno was also a thief at this time, and he didn't dare to continue to resist. After a brief consultation, five warships escorted the Moon Goddess and sailed together to the nearest Huludao port, where they conducted a detailed investigation.

A cargo ship completely touched the nerves of all parties, and the United States, Japan, Britain, and China all sent special personnel to gather in Huludao. At dawn, the Moon Goddess and several other warships finally sailed into the harbor, and the cargo ship had just stopped when a few more American sailors and soldiers carried a man down quickly.

The consul general, Becker, hurried over, and the captain immediately told him about the situation. "Mr. Consul General, Paul seems to have appendicitis and must be operated on immediately."

When Becker heard this, his life mattered, and he hurriedly asked Paul to be taken to the hospital, and then walked up to Akajiri Massuke with a grunt, his eyes almost spewing fire.

"Mr. Akajiri, what did you find about the machines and equipment you mentioned?"

In the face of questioning, Akajiri Massuke was also speechless, obviously the intelligence showed that there was something wrong with this ship, and it was indeed a Chinese cargo, how could the result be completely unexpected, only some rubber and ore, isn't this a big joke!

"I don't think we can blindly draw conclusions for the time being, we should form an investigation team and search the ships carefully, I believe that the Japanese intelligence will not be wrong."

While they were arguing with each other, the American officer went back and forth, sad and angry.

"Mr. Consul General, Mr. Paul is dead."

This sentence suddenly fell on everyone's heads like a thunderbolt. Acute appendicitis is not a serious disease, as long as it is operated on in time, it can be solved quickly, but once delayed, the appendix will rupture, and the whole abdomen will be infected and inflamed, which is a fatal thing.

Paul went through more than ten hours from the onset of the disease to the treatment, and it was completely late when he was sent to the hospital, with an abdominal infection and organ damage, and there was no way to save it.

The death of a person is not a big deal, but at such a time, a person dies. It was a big trouble, and the Japanese hijacked the ship for seven hours. During this time, Paul fell ill, and the Japanese did not save him, and continued to search stubbornly, which eventually led to tragedy.

The hijacking of the ship was wrong, and it killed people, and the Americans were completely outraged, and Becker was too lazy to talk to Akajiri Shosuke, and he hurriedly reported to the US government that the matter was beyond his authority. And Akajiri Massuke is the same, the most undesirable scene finally happened, not only did he not catch the handle of Fengjun, but he killed an American because of it, and the consequences were absolutely unimaginable.

At this point, Zhang Tinglan is the happiest, as long as he fights between the United States and Japan, the pressure on the Feng army will be much less, and it will be much easier to defeat the raze with razing.

"Mr. Min Yuan, I proposed to take out a loan from the United States some time ago, and we have not negotiated some conditions, I think it will be much easier to go back now!"

Wang Yongjiang also smiled: "That's right, humble words, this time even God is helping us, and by chance, an American died, and the matter became several times more serious all of a sudden, plus the hype of those media." The image of the Japanese as barbaric and rude is even more solid, and I think they have been busy for a while, so we can take this opportunity to transport those machines back, so that it will be much safer. ”

"Not busy." Zhang Tinglan smiled and waved his hand: "Mr. Min Yuan, the Japanese are still very meticulous in their work, don't look at the conflict with the United States, but they are still allies on the issue of interfering in Russia, and they will not completely fall out." In particular, the Japanese have not received anything, and they must have gone crazy to search, and the Americans may want to know the truth behind it. ”

"The humble analysis is reasonable, everything will not be groundless, from the perspective of the United States, although they hate the Japanese, but they will not forget us."

"So I have to throw a bait, give up a little sensitive machine, and give an account to everyone, and then transport the key equipment back without knowing it!"

Wang Yongjiang smiled and nodded: "Humble words have figured out people's hearts thoroughly, and there is a gift to gain, but you don't just want to confuse the Japanese, right?" ”

"Of course not, Lao Duan and we have already fallen out, with this guy in the central government, it is inconvenient for us to do anything, I think we still have to get him down, so that we can rest assured."

Zhang Tinglan discussed with Wang Yongjiang and set an overall strategy. Transporting back the machine is just a task, and Zhang Tinglan will also take advantage of this opportunity to make the contradictions between the United States and Japan completely public, and the bigger their rift, the more beneficial it will be to Fengjun.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan personally came forward, went to the hospital, and sent white chrysanthemums to the dead crew member Paul, in the hospital, many reporters had gathered, and as soon as Zhang Tinglan appeared, the reporters surrounded him.

"What do you think about this incident, I hope you can talk about it?"

"Freedom of navigation on the high seas is the right of all States, and any violation of that freedom is reprehensible. Mr. Paul's misfortune has reminded us that in a certain country in the Far East is undermining all order by force and by despicable means. Recently, there has been a great breakthrough in the case of the assassination of Mr. Zhang Zuolin, and we have found a lot of evidence, and I believe that these things cannot be viewed in isolation, and I hope that all parties concerned can stand up and jointly maintain order in the Far East. ”

"Mr. Zhang, with the recent change of supreme leader in Mukden, will there be any changes in foreign policy?"

"No, Fengjun's policy is consistent and continuous, we advocate economic freedom, fair competition, and welcome all capital to invest and develop in the three eastern provinces for mutual benefit and win-win results. In the past, there were various shili ranges, which seriously affected economic exchanges, and I believe that it is necessary to break through the restrictions and give equal treatment to all countries. ”

Zhang Tinglan answered a few questions briefly, and then left the hospital and went to visit Becker. Although his words are not many, they contain quite rich content, emphasizing the order of the Far East, and the hidden meaning is that the Feng army is willing to cooperate with the United States to deal with the Japanese together.

As for the abolition of the Shili scope, there is no doubt that it is also trying to woo the Americans, indicating that the Northeast will be open to American capital. Americans are not fools either, so they naturally understand what Zhang Tinglan meant.

As a matter of fact, the Americans are also very sober-minded, and this incident is not small, and the United States must show its own attitude, but it still cannot really shake Japan's position in the Far East by relying on this incident. Across the Pacific Ocean, the United States does not yet have the ability to project liliang into the western Pacific.

If you do the math, you can only use economic means to fight the Japanese, and the other is to use other shili to contain the Japanese. It was with this intention that Becker was very pleased with Zhang Tinglan's visit.

"Mr. Zhang, the U.S. government has agreed in principle to provide a loan of $20 million to Mukden to assist you in developing the construction of the railway."

Between the United States and Japan, the dog eats the dog, and the Feng army sits and reaps the profits, Zhang Tinglan is naturally very happy, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Consul General, I think we can make the cooperation more extensive. (To be continued......)
