A boatload of Japanese soldiers was stunned when they saw their idol in their hearts, karate master Miyamoto Shaozo, being kicked into the sea as soon as they came up. There was no reaction other than dumbfounded. A few gendarmes were quite sober and knew what their task was, so they immediately pulled out their guns and shouted at the two Ming officers.

The young lieutenant was stunned when he saw the muzzle of the gun, and was still hesitating, as if he was calculating whether he could rush forward before the other party could shoot, and grab the "white blade" with his bare hands. But the black captain next to him whispered:

"Forget it, don't force it, let's admit it. They didn't dare to do anything to us. ”

The lieutenant looked at him, nodded, wiped the blood from his mouth, and threw the stick onto the deck. Then, Captain Black also threw away the wooden stick.

The two picked up their clothes and put them on, swaggering off the boat, followed by the Japanese military police. The Japanese sailors on both sides were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and their heads were bleeding, but at this time, they all automatically gave way and glared at the two of them fiercely, their faces were flushed, and they dared not speak angrily.

Dadonggou Port Gendarmerie, Gendarmerie Captain Fujiwara Nakasa sat behind his desk, looking at the documents of the two, and the two Ming Army officers stood in the room, looking around indifferently. On a stool next to him, Miyamoto Shaosa, who had just been fished up from the sea, was wrapped in a new military coat, holding hot tea in his hand, and looked at the two viciously while drinking.

Fujiwara Nakasa pinched the documents of the two of them and looked at them, threw them on the table again, and then picked up the information he had just sent. This information has just come from Nanjing.

He looked at it for a moment, smiled and said:

"Captain Xu Xiangde, who is currently the head of a special operations unit at the headquarters of the People's Guard Security Corps, once executed 4,000 local natives under the command of Batavia. Among them, more than 100 people were executed by his own hands, and they were nicknamed 'Killing Pig Xu'. …… Second Lieutenant Wu Yanbin, currently the deputy company commander of the guard company of the People's Guard Headquarters, was born in the Forbidden City Praetorian Guard, was originally the empress's bodyguard, and was later promoted to the commander of the Praetorian Guard Adjutant. Later, because he was involved in the coup d'état of the Forbidden City fortress, he was demoted to the 6th Army as a private. Later, he was appreciated by Xiang Xiaoqiang, the commander of the People's Guard, and was transferred to the People's Guard......"

Speaking of this, he laughed, turned to Miyamoto Shaoza and smiled:

"Miyamoto-kun, it seems that you should be comforted. After all, it's not a shame for you to lose under these two people, hahaha......"

……

The telegram that the Jiaomujiao had been detained and that the officers and men had been beaten and arrested was sent back to Nanjing. There was an uproar in the high command.

Originally, the General Staff of the Strait wanted to be tougher against Japan, so as to at least ensure that the Japanese side would not dare to embarrass the Ming observer. It's good that Japan is tougher than itself. Directly detained all the warships, and the people were beaten, and they are still locked up.

In the current situation, even the "doves" of the most pigeon and pigeon in Japan in the command department are no longer "pigeons". No matter what the Ming Dynasty says, he has always had a sense of superiority over Japan, and he always has a sense of "looking down". If you are openly provoked like this and do not say anything, you will not be able to get along with Japan in the future.

Some generals who knew Japan well could guess that most of this was not an instruction from within Japan, but a group of officers of the "Manchurian Dispatch Army" who were stunned. The Japanese government and military top brass certainly disapprove of this either. But if Daming doesn't show toughness this time, then even the Japanese government and military high-level will feel that Daming is easy to bully. The next time there is such a thing, it may really come from the Japanese government.

The matter was reported to the Cabinet. After listening to the narration and reading the telegram, Shen Rongxuan frowned and sighed.

"Alas......" he shook his head, grabbed the phone receiver, and thought to himself, "the more this time, the more trouble the military gang will make." How long exactly will the Cabinet wipe the ass for the army? After the Northern Expedition was fought, the army was even more desperate. If this continues, sooner or later, our Ming army will become a country within a country like the Japanese army. ”

He called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to bring in the Japanese ambassador and lodge a serious protest with Japan over the matter.

"We put forward three conditions on our side," Shen Rongxuan said, writing on paper with a pen and pen, "first, release the seized officers and soldiers and warships; Second, the Japanese side should sincerely apologize to our officers and men who were beaten and detained, and compensate them for all their medical expenses. Thirdly, we must fully cooperate with our two inspectors, and as long as they are in Mukden, they must not be hindered. …… Well, yes, we're positioning it as 'friction', not 'conflict'. The current situation does not allow for 'conflict' between our two countries. But they have to be given a deadline. …… Just six hours. That's loose enough. As long as you are willing to release people, half an hour is enough. Apologies, five minutes is enough ......"

On the other end of the phone, Foreign Minister He Ziguang hesitated:

"Ge Lao, if you propose a deadline...... Inevitably, there will be an 'ultimatum' in it...... This one seems to ......"

"This is not an ultimatum."

"Oh, so if the Japanese ambassador asks me if it's an ultimatum, I'll tell him it's not?"

"Yes."

He Ziguang smiled bitterly again:

"Ge Lao...... Although we say that this is not an ultimatum, after all, the deadline is proposed...... Since the deadline has been proposed, it must be stated what measures we will take after the deadline expires......"

Shen Rongxuan sighed, nodded, and was also pondering. …… What can we do? How can we phrase it? How can we put pressure on Japan without overprovoking Japan, and without affecting the tacit understanding between the two countries in the war against the Qing Dynasty?

He Ziguang said at this time:

"Elder Ge, do you think it's okay to say this...... Please be grateful if you provide a reply within six hours. If a satisfactory answer is not received within the time limit, we reserve the right to take all drastic measures other than force. …… How about saying this? Not only did he tell Japan that there would be no war, but his words carried a lot of weight. Moreover, it is rather vague to say that 'all drastic measures other than force' are very wide-ranging, and there are many means that can be used. We have six hours to fully deliberate. There's a lot of leeway. ”

"Very good," Shen Rongxuan nodded, very satisfied, "That's very good, let's just say it." ”

……

The note of protest was sent to the Japanese ambassador. When the Japanese ambassador received the note, he was also visibly surprised. It seems that he didn't expect this to happen at all.

"......Your Excellency," he stammered, staring at the text of the note, "I personally think ...... Even my Government is not aware of this...... I'm going to send it back to China, but ...... I would like to ask Your Excellency the Minister to believe that even if such a thing had happened, it would not have been the intention of my Government...... I think Your Excellency the Minister should be confident that our two countries will settle this matter properly......"

He Ziguang was very satisfied with the reaction of the Japanese ambassador, he smiled slightly, nodded, and said:

"So much for the best. That's what the Minister hopes. ”

The Japanese ambassador looked at his watch, and now there were only five hours and fifty-five minutes left. He stood up and bowed and walked out, carrying the briefcase containing the note.

Within 40 minutes, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of the Sixth Army, the Minister of the Navy, and the Chief of the General Staff of the Navy rushed to the official residence of the Auxiliary Minister. A few people sat in a conference room, discussing their next steps against a map.

After some discussions, Xiong Dingming, chief of the general staff of the Navy, agreed with several people.

"There is no doubt about it," he said, pointing to a large chunk of the South Seas on the map, "that the closure of the Strait of Malacca to Japan is what Japan fears the most, and it is also the most powerful trump card in our hands." It's powerful, but it's flexible, and it can be closed in minutes, or it can be declared open in minutes, and it won't have the same after-effects as trade sanctions, downgrading diplomacy, etc. Therefore, after five hours, if we do not receive a satisfactory answer from the Japanese side, I will order the Nanyang Fleet to begin to intercept Japanese ships in the Strait of Malacca. ”
