Under the deliberate instruction of the upper echelons of both the sea and land sides of Dongying, the confrontation between the two sides really started.

Although it only happened for a short time, the two sides still saw blood, a simple contact battle, with a total of nearly a thousand casualties on both sides, and the sinking of several ships.

It doesn't sound like much, but it's a joke, one that can be remembered for thousands of years.

It is rare in history for two armies of a country to actually open fire and suffer a lot of casualties.

Even though both sides have since refrained from further developments, the incident has happened.

Such a bad thing naturally attracted the intervention of the Dongying cabinet, and the high-level officials on both the sea and land sides also knew about this.

In the same way, a few "old people" who are not big or small came out to fight the thunder, and then the cabinet also played 30 boards.

However, in order to prevent things from getting worse, many places in Dongying have since begun to enter a strange curfew and a series of measures that obviously damage the cooperation between the two militaries.

Even in order to prevent assassinations in the shadows, they sent out more people to patrol, and even many troops were transferred back.

It also made it worse for some merchants who were already unsustainable.

After all, it has only been so long since the "good days" began to be in the war, and the upper echelons of Dongying began to control like this, and most of those merchants could only close their doors.

And after this series of events, the situation has really stabilized, even if the gap between the navy and the army is greater than before, but there is no such turmoil as at the beginning.

Assassinations, explosions, and even the two opposing sides of the blatant world did not dare to make it out again.

And after this period of time, although the upper echelons of Dongying still felt that this incident was very strange and there were many strange places.

But they don't have that much energy to investigate it for a while, after all, the war and their "Great Co-Prosperity Plan" still have to be pushed forward, and they can only count on these for the time to come.

But they can't do a large-scale thorough investigation, after all, as far as they know, the high-level leaders on both the land and sea sides may be innocent at first, but as the matter ferments, how many people can really be innocent?

Even they have evidence of assassinations by some high-ranking officials of the navy and army, but their cabinet really can't put this on the table.

I didn't even dare to have the mind and rumor of a thorough investigation, and this matter had already become a matter that affected the whole body.

In the end, all this had to be stopped, but this is the result that also made Muto Shio very satisfied at this time.

He has personally experienced this turmoil, even during this period of time, due to the partiality of "Xiao Jun" and the anxiety of the war situation, the doves he represents have more and more authority.

Even he has become a representative of this faction, speaking of today's Dongying economy, the real trend is still on their navy's side.

Compared with their navy, the army can only be said to be really miserable, and the economy is also a key to the navy's right to speak.

At least with the help of "Xiao Jun", although he is still the consul general in Shanghai, the prime minister is in China's diplomatic affairs, and his military rank has also become a clear rank of lieutenant general.

Although it is only a new promotion, it also says something.

Moreover, his role this time is not only for the affairs of Shenzhou, but also for the Navy to interfere in the affairs of the Army in Shenzhou.

How could this piece of cake in Shenzhou be exclusively enjoyed by the army's group of mud legs?

The significance of his position lies in this, and in addition to the functions and powers of the Consul General, the support of the Navy is far less than that.

The naval ships anchored in Shanghai and a large number of marines are the guarantee of his right to speak.

So with these, Muto Shio naturally wants to make a big move, for example, he wants to divide the power of the empire in the hands of General Dohihara.

For example, in the economy, the Navy will seize more economic benefits, which are most important to both the Army and the Navy.

Even if the economic authority of the Navy is much higher than that of the Army, there is such a thing as "military spending".

Of course, there is also the promotion of the "Great Co-prosperity Project", and even if there are many factions, Muto Shio still clearly knows that the interests of the empire are paramount.

This is an obsession engraved in the hearts of him and most of the Imperial soldiers, but sometimes they still have their own interests in mind.

But they will still have the consciousness they should have, which is why the army and navy did not really fight the war.

Instead of thinking about dividing the cake, it is a good way to make the cake bigger, but sometimes the cake is not big, so you can only think about dividing a little more.

But whether he wants to make the cake bigger or want to share a little more cake, he can't do without one person.

Even if this person is a little "disheartened" now, so much so that he doesn't care much about the current Dongying economy recently.

Although it was also because of the agreement and affection with Muto Shio, he helped Muto Shio deal with some economic matters and the teaching of Junko.

Most of the time, this "Xiao Jun" is "closed".

But Muto Zhixiong knew that although his "Xiao Jun" was "disheartened", his blood was not cold, and he would still value Shenzhou.

This point Muto Shio is the place that most understands and appreciates his "Xiao Jun".

However, understanding and appreciation cannot make him change his position, and he still needs to be used as he should be.

After all, "Xiao Jun" is just a talented "scholar" after all, and it is better to let him use it for himself than to let him be idle.

He can use the banner of "saving Shenzhou" to talk about "Xiao Jun", as for the rest of the matter, isn't it all in the hands of him Muto Shixiong?

Even if it is a little "shameless", but for the sake of the empire, Muto Shio can only say sorry to his confidant "Xiao Jun".

As for whether "Xiao Jun" will completely become his help, Muto Zhixiong is not worried at all, as long as some things are arranged carefully, it is not difficult for "Xiao Jun" to have no way back.

And even if the result reaches the worst, what can this "Xiao Jun" do?

Although he admires "Xiao Jun" very much, the arrogance of the soldier is still full of Muto Shio's heart.

Compared to the darkness he had seen, Xiao Tu, who was just a "scholar", was really too tender, how could he not be able to play Xiao Tu?

Of course, if he could, he still didn't want "Xiao Jun" to completely go to his opposite.

This is not only due to the interests that Muto Shio needs, but also his true relationship with "Xiao Jun", as well as his responsibility for Junko.

Although nothing has happened yet, Muto Shio knows that Junko's opinion of "Xiao Jun" has become clearer and clearer for some time.

Thinking of this, Muto picked up the phone in his office and asked his subordinates to arrange the vehicle.

After all, if you want to have the help of "Xiao Jun", you still need him to ask for it.
