The Japanese immigrants from the Ryukyus were completely in misery this time. Although, they have tens of thousands. However, in the final analysis, they are nothing more than a group of civilians. In the face of the encirclement and suppression of the Imperial Marines and the Ryukyu people, the fate of these Japanese will be very tragic.

Although, the Imperial Marines who landed in the Ryukyus were no more than a battalion and more than a thousand people. However, as the elite troops of the empire, the combat effectiveness they showed was very strong. The Japanese, completely defeated, no longer had the courage to continue fighting the Imperial Marines.

After King Shonori of the Ryukyus declared these Japanese immigrants to be mobs, the situation of all Japanese in the Ryukyus became critical. Many Japanese were killed directly by the angry Ryukyuan people, and their property was looted. There are also many Japanese women who have been raped*. It can be said that the Ryukyu people, who had turned over once, took revenge on all the suffering inflicted on them by the Japanese in the past.

At this time, the Japanese immigrants realized that they were afraid, and they wanted to leave the Ryukyus and return to Japan. However, it was already too late. The empire had already given these Japanese immigrants a chance, but they didn't leave and wanted to stay in the Ryukyus. Well, now they'll never go back.

When the Japanese government learned of the encirclement and suppression of Japanese immigrants in the Ryukyus, it was shocked and hurriedly protested to the Chinese Empire. At the same time, they appealed to the Western world for help, demanding that the Chinese Empire stop this massacre of Japanese civilians.

However, the Chinese Empire insisted that what happened in the Ryukyus had nothing to do with the Chinese Empire, and that it was simply the internal affairs of the Ryukyu Kingdom. What's more, those Japanese immigrants who tried to assassinate the king of the Ryukyus were all mobs, and they died in vain. At the same time, the Chinese Empire had to hold accountable the masterminds behind these Japanese mobs. The king of the Ryukyus, Shangdian, was canonized by the Chinese Empire. If he is killed. That would undoubtedly be a big loss of face for the Chinese Empire. Japan had to give an explanation to the Chinese Empire.

Of course, the Japanese government does not dare to admit that it was they who instigated it, and they must dissociate themselves from this at the first opportunity. You must know that now the Chinese Empire and Japan have just ended the war, and the peace between the two countries is not stable. If there is another conflict between the two countries at this time, it will be very unfavorable to Japan. Japan now. The strength has been greatly damaged, and it is not qualified to confront the Chinese Empire at all. This directly caused the Japanese to suffer a dumb loss this time. A large number of immigrants were killed by the Ryukyuans, and the wealth of the immigrants was also robbed by the Ryukyuans.

However, Britain, France, and the United States, as the backers behind Japan, must of course stand up and speak for Japan at this time. All three countries expressed concern about the Ryukyu tragedy. And claimed that those Japanese immigrants were nothing more than innocent civilians and should not be involved.

Under the pressure of Britain, France, and the United States, the Ryukyus reluctantly stopped the crackdown on these Japanese immigrants. At the same time, it was agreed that the Japanese would send ships to pick up the migrants. But. At this moment, most of the remaining immigrants in the Ryukyus are old, weak, women and children. Of the 40,000 or 50,000 Japanese immigrants, there were only more than 10,000 left. The rest of the Japanese were almost all killed. In addition, when these Japanese immigrants left, it can be said that they had nothing to do. All of their possessions were taken over by the Ryukyu Kingdom.

The Japanese government was very dissatisfied with this and demanded that the Ryukyu Kingdom return the wealth. But. The Ryukyu Kingdom has the Chinese Empire behind it, and of course they will not be afraid. For the Japanese requirements. Just ignore it. This made the Japanese grit their teeth with hatred, but there was nothing they could do.

The wealth of Japanese immigrants in the Ryukyus, excluding those real estate, was worth tens of millions of Chinese dollars in cash, gold, silver and jewelry alone. However, this money was not completely swallowed by the Ryukyu Kingdom. The Chinese Empire took the lion's share. Seventy percent of the tens of millions of Chinese dollars were divided. The remaining 30 percent went to the Ryukyu Kingdom. But even so, the Ryukyu king Shonori was already very satisfied. A few million Chinese dollars is already a very good amount of money for him.

The Ryukyu Incident brought about the relationship between Japan and the Chinese Empire. It deteriorated further. Diplomatic relations between the two countries have been normalized since the end of the war. However, the enmity between the two countries cannot be resolved. Between the two countries, it is destined to be a decisive battle between life and death, which will completely solve everything. The winner, will win everything. And the loser will lose completely.

The Ryukyu incident was undoubtedly a lesson for the Japanese. Japan also has a lot of immigrants on the Korean Peninsula. Originally, Japanese immigrants on the Korean Peninsula wanted to delay it. However, if the Kingdom of Korea had dealt with the Japanese immigrants in the same way that the Kingdom of the Ryukyus had done, they would undoubtedly have paid a heavy price. As a result, the Japanese hurriedly mobilized a large number of ships and evacuated all the immigrants.

The entire political landscape of the Far East has completely turned into a full-scale confrontation between the Chinese Empire and the Japanese Empire. Although, the Chinese Empire has now achieved an advantage. Moreover, with the development of the national strength of the Chinese Empire, this advantage will also become greater and greater. However, Japan has the support of Britain, France, the United States and other powers behind it, so that Japan still has a strength that cannot be underestimated. Once the war breaks out again, if Japan can win, it is not impossible for them to win a chance to turn the tables. Therefore, the next war is the key. Whoever can win will be the hegemon of the Far East.

On July 31, 4608 (10) of the Yellow Emperor Era, Tokyo Bay welcomed a group of guests from afar. These guests came on steel warships with huge main guns. This is the Great White Fleet that the United States sent last year. The fleet departed from the east coast of the United States and traveled south along the Atlantic, visiting Brazil, Argentina, Chile and other countries, and then to the west coast of the United States. After a period of repairs on the west coast of the United States, it began to cross the Pacific Ocean to the Philippines. The Philippines is now a colony of the United States, and the arrival of the powerful American fleet is undoubtedly to declare the great strength of the United States. After that, the Great White Fleet went north from the Philippines to visit Japan.

Originally, the purpose of the Great White Fleet was to deter Japan. After its victory in the Russo-Japanese War, Japan already had twelve capital ships and eight armored cruisers. Such a navy has already squeezed into the forefront of the world and poses a serious threat to US interests in the Pacific region. You know, the United States has a fleet in the western Pacific. But that's just two or three big ships and small boats. If the Japanese want to do something to the Philippines, the United States will not be able to do it.

Therefore, in order to deter the Japanese, the Japanese will realize the strength of the United States. The United States deliberately sent a huge fleet of sixteen battleships to curb the ambitions of the Japanese. However, I didn't expect that when the Great White Fleet was still on the way, the pattern of the Far East had already undergone earth-shaking changes. The originally powerful Japanese Navy was completely defeated in the Sino-Japanese naval battle. 12 battleships and eight armored cruisers, only 1 battleship and 1 armored cruiser remained. The Japanese Navy has been wiped out, and the patrols of the Americans' Great White Fleet are completely superfluous. In addition, the US policy in the Far East has changed. Originally, they were propping up China to contain Japan. But now, Japan has become the object of their support. On the contrary, China has become a new target that they need to contain.

Guided by a guide ship sent by the Japanese Navy, the Great White Fleet entered the Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan. It's just that when the Chinese Navy shelled Tokyo, Yokosuka was also blown up a lot. After emergency repairs, the dock was barely cleared. Otherwise, the battleships of the Great White Fleet would not be able to dock.

Rear Admiral Evans, commander of the Great White Fleet, stood on the foredeck of the battleship "Connecticut", the flagship of the Great White Fleet, and looked at the Yokosuka Naval Base, which was almost in ruins, and his heart was filled with emotion.

At one time, Yokosuka Naval Base was one of the largest naval bases in the Far East. The Japanese Navy is the hegemon of the Far Eastern Navy. Even the U.S. Navy is 100% sure that it will be able to defeat the Japanese Navy. However, the glorious Japanese Navy, as if it was gone.

Japan attaches great importance to the visit of the US Navy's Great White Fleet. Japanese Prime Minister Masatakeshi Terauchi, Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida, Navy Minister Rokuro Yashiro, Navy Commander Shoo Shimamura, and Gonbei Yamamoto and Heihachiro Togo, who have become Japanese veterans, all rushed to Yokosuka to welcome the Great White Fleet.

Now, the United States is a friendly country to Japan. Japan is also counting on the United States to provide more help to Japan. In such a situation, even if they were enemies in the past, they can now become friends.

Rear Admiral Evans, leading the senior officers of the Great White Fleet, disembarked and came to the docks.

"Your Excellency, welcome to your fleet to Japan." The temple greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Prime Minister. I am very happy to be able to visit Japan. Maj. Gen. Evans said.

Subsequently, the two sides began to introduce each other and shake hands one by one, and the scene was extremely harmonious.

The Japanese side specially prepared a dinner for the visit of the US Navy's Great White Fleet. In addition, the officers and men of the US Navy were invited to disembark and repair.

Although many of Tokyo's urban areas have been destroyed, they are still in ruins. However, Tokyo is still bustling. These American sailors with money in their pockets can still be dashing in Tokyo. Especially after holding back at sea for so long, many American sailors need to vent well. (To be continued.) )
