Chapter 50: The Diaoyu Island Incident II
Downing Street, England, and the White House of the United States received reports from their respective intelligence services shortly after the order to send a fleet to China was issued. Each piece of information is a few simple sentences that summarize the current situation in the East China Sea.
"In the Beibu Gulf, the Huaxia Liaoning aircraft carrier and its battle group have moved to the direction of Diaoyu Dao, and we hope to pay more attention. ”
At the same time, the local side of Dongying, which received the report of the incident, was already like a great enemy, like an ant on a hot pot, and it was completely a burnt performance.
Prime Minister Ichiro Inuichiro convened an emergency meeting of all cabinet members in the hope that they could work together to resolve the current disturbing incident. However, as everyone knows, the Dongying cabinet itself is full of a large number of uneasy factors, and the contradictions between the left and the right wing alone cannot be explained in one or two sentences, not to mention that there are various other interest groups involved in it.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, you right-wing clique have an unshirkable responsibility for such a vicious incident on Diaoyu Island!
It is an indisputable fact that the Chinese invaded our territory for no reason and shot down our warplanes, do you left-wing cowards really think about the development of the empire?"
"Diaoyu Island is a piece of land that you idiots insist on going your own way to draw into the territory, and of course you should be responsible for the troubles you have caused!"
"Stupid people? You right-wing guys are the real stupid! Do you think the Chinese people will be grateful to you for this? Don't laugh! Those people of China have a deep-rooted hatred for us, don't be under the illusion that they can live in peace with the empire, don't be deceived by appearances!"
The two factions argued with each other in the council chamber, but their bright clothes reflected the faces of a group of roosters and dog thieves. The remaining sanctimonious hypocrites (interest groups that do not participate in the dispute) sit on the sidelines with their own selfish motives and do not show the slightest desire to contribute to the country. The entire conference hall presented a strange "lively" scene.
Inuichiro saw these fools who were usually very humble, but when they encountered big things, they had nothing to see except for passing the buck to each other, and they were also angry!
"Shut up! What kind of place is this? What am I summoning you here for? Are you still not a courtier of the Dongying Empire?"
After asking three questions, Inuichiro finally overwhelmed everyone present from the momentum, which also greatly alleviated the tense atmosphere just now.
Inuichiro looked around, his angry gaze sweeping over each of the ministers present. The sharp gaze made the ministers unable to avoid it.
"It's really a shame for the empire to have a courtier like you! What is the difference between such unseemly words and deeds and those of the market?" Inuichiro still couldn't calm the anger in his heart, and continued to blame everyone present.
Naturally, the right-wing ministers of the same dog were not very impressed by his words, but the emotions of the left-wingers who stood on the opposite side were rekindled.
"Inuichiro! Don't make a big fuss here! Do you think that the people here are your lackeys? Your present style of conduct has gone against the original intention of His Majesty the Emperor's policy of gentleness! It is all because of your radical behavior that has led to the situation in which our country has made too many enemies in East Asia!" a deputy minister rebuked loudly and with great emotion.
"That's right! What Inada-kun said is true! If it weren't for you extreme guys who refuse to face up to history, why would our empire get to where it is today? You bastards are the shame of the empire!" another minister, who was clearly in the right-wing camp, stood up and pointed the finger again at the right-wing extremists represented by Inoichiro.
With two men taking the lead, the chamber became a meeting of criticism from left-wing conservatives against right-wing radicals. Inuichiro's face also became extremely bad in the process, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes in addition to resentment!
In the end, the emergency meeting broke up unhappily, not to mention discussing countermeasures, and even basic conversations could not proceed normally. The crowd of left-wing conservatives, led by Deputy Minister Junichi Inada, left the chamber with a blank look after criticizing their opponents. Leave the right-wing radicals, who were already in a rage, on the spot.
"Baga~Baga~!Your Excellency Prime Minister, look at the attitude of these people! Damn!" a minister who remained in the chamber said indignantly, pointing to the left-wing ministers who were far away.
"Okay! Since these guys don't know how to lift, then let them go! Sooner or later, there will be a chance to clean up these guys!" Inuichiro glanced at the ministers who were still on the scene, and found that most of them belonged to the right-wing radicals, and there were some neutrals who remained on the sidelines, and then nodded.
His words drifted into the ears of everyone present word for word, and the cold breath could not be more obvious. The ministers in the same camp were gloating, and the centrist group had even begun to worry about their position and the left-wing conservatives who had just left. If it is not good, it is a situation where both people and money are lost, but you have to plan carefully, but you don't dare to fall into the truth of others.
In the absence of nearly a third of the ministers, the parliament continued to meet as usual, and finally decided to send more naval forces to the area where the incident occurred, and at the same time ordered the air force to be ready to increase its strength at all times. And just like that, a nondescript meeting came to an end.
In the waters off the Diaoyu Islands, a ship with a slightly different shape from an ordinary cruise ship is confronting two Dongying warships flying plaster flags, but neither of them is the first to attack. The large and lonely ship is luring the warship towards the sea farther away from the Diaoyu Islands with its slow speed.
"Boss, the radar shows that there are people from Huaxia and Dongying coming in the direction of Diaoyu Island. We still have a few satellites above us that are scanning for a long time. Next..."The captain got in touch with Zhang Yu on the island through the communication terminal, intending to ask for his opinion.
"Oh, is it finally here? Satellite doesn't care about it, just wants these idle guys to take a good look at how Lao Tzu cleans up the lackeys! Order your department to play with Dongying dogs! When you are tired of playing, sink them for Lao Tzu!" Zhang Yu said easily, and Captain Yulong received it very happily. Don't look at the two of them easily and freely settled the matter, but if these words get out, the quasi-insurance will be shocked!
The fleets of Huaxia and Dongying were sailing in the direction of Diaoyu Dao at full speed, but at this time Diaoyu Island was full of peace, and Zhang Yu, Chen Xing, and some sailors were holding a grand "sea and land barbecue" meeting on the beach!
The beach is full of fragrance, and the sea is very lively. With its ultra-high maneuverability, the Ichthyosaurus led the two Dongying warships around, and fired a few shots from time to time to deter, which also attracted the Dongying people to fight back. Despite the limited power and range of the Ichthyosaurus's water cannons, it caused big problems for Toei's two frigates.
