Chapter 170: Confrontation Again

In the conference room of the Ministry of Industry Bureau on Gulangyu Island, the atmosphere was depressing and full of gunpowder.

The large conference table was full of people. One is the director of the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, 1 Chinese and 7 foreigners, all present. The other is Consul General Uchida of the Japanese Consulate General in Xiamen and Hong Xingtai and other traitor spies.

The two sides are engaged in a fierce negotiation.

The director of the British Ministry of Labour and the chief inspector said in English: We invited Mr. Uchida, Consul General, to come here to negotiate on the "Gulangyu incident" and to resolve the Gudao crisis, which has lasted for more than half a month.

Consul Uchida said in a very arrogant manner: "The main responsibility for the 'Gulangyu incident' lies on your side, and whether or not it can be resolved smoothly depends on you, not on us. ”

The director of the Ministry of Industry said very dissatisfied: "You are playing ball, and our Ministry of Industry Bureau has always acted in accordance with the laws of the concession, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Uchida refuted: "The Ministry of Industry Bureau has been seriously derelict in its duties one after another, and it is incompetent, and our Japanese attitude is that we must reorganize the Ministry of Industry and Bureau as soon as possible!" ”

Uchida's words just fell in time, and the board of directors drew a lot of opposition. They all angrily accused Uchida:

"Why did you reorganize the Ministry of Industry?"

"The Japanese have stretched their hands too long!"

…………

Uchida grimaced, looking up at the ceiling, pretending not to hear.

"Humph!" The director of the Ministry of Industry sneered and said: "Mr. Consul General has always been very thoughtful, did he even bring a plan today?" ”

Uchida smiled and said, "Yes, we have formulated a reorganization plan, and I will tell you now." ”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Hong Xingtai beside him.

Hong Xingtai stood up proudly, glanced left and right, and loudly announced: The five conditions of the Japanese side's plan to reorganize the Ministry of Industry and Bureau are:

1. Completely ban anti-Japanese and anti-Japanese forces;

2. The Japanese shall serve as the director of the Ministry of Industry, the chief inspector and the secretary general, and other staff members shall also employ Japanese as much as possible;

3. Japanese Taiwanese should have the right to vote and the right to be elected on the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry;

4. Three representatives of Chinese taxpayers who are vacant on the board of directors shall be replaced immediately;

5. The Japanese Consul General Police can assist the Ministry of Industry Bureau in patrolling, searching, and prosecuting anti-Japanese and anti-Japanese elements.

After Hong Xingtai was announced, the venue exploded. Some of the participants were surprised, some were angry, some were skeptical, and some were worried.

Everyone was angry again:

"If you want to drive us away and occupy Gulangyu Island exclusively, you Japanese are too arrogant!"

"The Japanese want to take care of everything, what a reason!"

"Self-righteous, self-sufficient!"

"We will not agree with your unilateral opinion!"

…………

Consul General Uchida looked at everyone's angry expressions, but his face was full of mockery and sneer.

Uchida said, "Don't get excited, you can discuss our plan, but we won't give you too much time." His words were full of contempt and threat.

The director and chief of the patrol stood up, he tried his best to control his emotions, and said with an angry face: "What you are doing is unacceptable to us. Just like when we forced the Xiamen government to sign the "Public Land Boundary Regulations", the problem is that you are now facing us, not the Xiamen puppet government.

Uchida sneered again, and also stood up and said: "Your Excellency, don't rush to conclusions, here I need to reiterate, I am not representing the consulate, but the Imperial Japanese Army, if you don't agree, their ships and artillery will definitely not agree." I'll give you a little more time to think about it. ”

After he finished speaking, he took a few people and walked away.

Watching them leave, several people's anger burst out.

The director of the bureau slapped the case and roared: "Hooligans, political hooligans."

He stabilized his emotions again and said: Mr. directors, you all talk about it, what should we do next? ”

A foreign director said in English: "In Chinese terms, they are 'riding on our necks and peeing', and it will never be tolerated!" ”

"Yes, if their hegemonic behavior is tolerated, they will gain an inch in the future, and they must be given back the color!" The Chinese directors chimed in.

The director looked left and right and said, "Show them the color, I agree with your idea, but the question is how to return the color!" ”

A foreign director thought for a moment, stood up and said, "I suggest that governments be asked to send marines and warships to protect us,"

The director and chief inspector said: "Your proposal is very good, and the Ministry of Industry is looking forward to the assistance from your country. ”

The atmosphere at the venue calmed down a little.

The director of the Ministry of Industry continued: "Today's meeting will continue to study the issue of food and housing for refugees. Tens of thousands of refugees living on Gulangyu Island have to consume a lot of food, fuel and drinking water every day, and these daily necessities are already in serious shortage under the Japanese embargo, and the relief work is difficult to maintain, and the refugees urgently need to evacuate outside the island.

The directors had a lively discussion again.
