After the two met, Abe Sodaro bowed respectfully to Li Sanjie and said, "Mr. Member, I wonder what's wrong with you inviting me?"

But when he straightened up, he saw that Li Sanjie could not sit steadily and his face was as deep as water. Abe Sodaro's heart was not only "Geden". When he met, Li Sanjie would always be polite. Bi Jing was at the national diplomatic level, and the surface etiquette was still to be discussed, not to mention the other party's attitude of apologizing and respectful, and he didn't even make a smile on his face. But this time it was obviously nothing better.

Sure enough, Li Sanjie's voice was unfeeling, and he said, "Consul Abe, please sit down."

After Abe Sodaro sat down, Li Sanjie said: "Consul Abe, you should know from the recent news that Japan participated in a terrorist attack we encountered in Anhui's disaster-seeking operation. We filed a solemn protest to Japan and asked Japan to explain this, apologize to our country's **, compensate for the losses, and guarantee that similar things will not happen again."

Asbe Sotaro smiled awkwardly and said with a thorn in his mouth: "Mr. Member, I wonder if there is any misunderstanding here? This matter has nothing to do with our country."

Li Sanjie shook his head and said, "Consul Abe, I am not trying to discuss the authenticity of this matter with the Consul. We have solid evidence that Japan has indeed participated in this terrorist attack and plays an important role in this terrorist attack. The person responsible for commanding the on-site is Major Yoshimakawa Yoshimakawa and Captain Kogoro Nakata, and the real host is Major Narōsu Kawashima in Beijing." As he said, Li Sanjie stood up and took a folder from his desk, handed it to Abe Sotaro, and said, "The relevant information is here. After the Consul returns, you can take a serious look, but we will not argue with the Japanese side of the authenticity of these information."

Abe Sotaro smiled bitterly, took the folder, but did not open it and read it, saying, "Mr.com, what I meant just now was not to question your information. In fact, after seeing the relevant news, I immediately asked the country and realized that this incident was an unauthorized action by the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Army, not an order action of Japan, nor did it represent the attitude of Japan. I hope the Mr.com can understand."

Li Sanjie said: "Consul Abe, we do not want to interfere in Japan's internal affairs. It doesn't matter whether this matter is the attitude of Japan's **. Even if it is the unauthorized action of the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Army, it is also the internal affairs of Japan. The only object of protest we negotiated and protested was Japan."

Abe Sodaro nodded and said, "I understand. I will convey the opinions of East China ** to our country truthfully."

Li Sanjie said: "There is another thing to inform the consul. In 7 days, our navy will conduct a large-scale maritime military exercise in the East China Sea area. Please ask Japan's ships to avoid accidental injuries. I will send people to the consulate after a while."

Abe Sodaro had a sudden conflict in his heart, knowing that this was a threat from East China with force. If Japan's response could not satisfy East China, the conflict between the two sides would inevitably intensify, and a war would not be impossible. This is the situation that Japan has always avoided. Therefore, he couldn't help but want to scold the people in the military headquarters again. He was too bold and arrogant. Now he will almost make the situation uncontrollable. Forget it, let the East China ** attitude be told to the country first and let the country find a way. So Abe Sodaro also stood up and said goodbye immediately.

At the same time, the Navy Department also submitted plans to the Military Commission for maritime military exercises and fleets to be dispatched.

In fact, Wang Hailong, the commander-in-chief of the navy, was very interested in this naval journey, because although the navy played an important role in the Far East War and made great contributions, the navy had little to do since the successful negotiations between East China and Japan at the end of last year. The main thing was to summarize the Far East War, train soldiers, and evaluate the captured warships.

Although the fleet's training and exercises have never stopped, the exercises were not a formal war, which also made the fleet commander-in-chief Wang Hailong very unhappy. Although this time it was an exercise, the waters of the exercises were in the southwest of Kyushu Island in Japan, basically at the doorstep of Japan's home, and there is a certain amount of demonstration elements. This is also very popular with Wang Hailong's appetite, so this exercise also has a certain possibility to evolve into a real war, so Wang Hailong decided to lead the team himself to carry out this action.

Now the Japanese Combined Fleet has just two new battleships, Kasuka and Kashima, who have been included in the line. These two battleships were two additional battleships ordered by Japan from Britain after the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War. They were based on the latest Edward VII-class battleships at that time. However, in terms of the main gun selection, they did not use the Edward VII-class main gun configuration, but instead adopted the traditional weapon configuration of two main guns at the beginning and the tail. However, the overall combat effectiveness is still beyond the six battleships customized by Japan in the UK.

However, due to the long construction cycle of the battleship, it was ultimately not in the war. It was not handed over to Japan until May 1907, but returned to Japan in July of that year, and was immediately incorporated into the joint fleet, which finally changed the situation where the joint fleet had no battleships. At the same time, the Kasuga was also designated as the flagship of the joint fleet.

Although these two warships had just returned to Japan from the ocean, they had to go to Japan for at least one month of routine maintenance, and had to be trained and trained with the fleet for a period of time, and it would take at least half a year to form combat effectiveness, but it was hard to say that when it came to the Japanese. At the end of World War II in the old time and space, the Shino aircraft carrier transformed by the Yamato-class 3 ship was joined in the battle before it was fully completed. Moreover, these two warships had been completed and delivered, so they should not be underestimated.

At this time, the battleship Gan Jiang, which made great contributions in the Far East War, had already entered the dock for maintenance and could not be dispatched within two months. However, there were two captured and repaired battleships, the Mars had been completed and were incorporated into the sequence of the People's Army Navy, named Heyang and Xingyang. Therefore, there are 6 battleships available to the People's Army Navy now; there are also two armored cruisers that have been completed, namely the French Kleber and the Russian Warrior, named the Kehai and the Yonghai. Several other warships have also completed the maintenance and entered service.

Among the five modern warships that crossed, two 053h3 Xiangyang and Huaihua ships have been retired, while the Kunming, Yueyang and Sanya ships are still in service. Because the Xiangyang and Huaihua ships are the oldest and most backward among the five modern warships, they have almost reached their service life. The Kunming, Yueyang and Sanya ships have newer hulls and more advanced equipment, and can last for a few more years.

The retired Xiangyang ship and Huaihua ship will dismantle various equipment and valuable components on the ship and seal it for future research. After the demolition, the hull will be retained and transported to land to build a memorial for preservation. In principle, this memorial will only allow veterans to visit, and the Kunming ship, Yueyang ship, and Sanya ship will also be dealt with in this way after they are retired.

In addition, there are four large and medium-sized warships that have started construction, namely two Jinan-class armored cruisers and two Qingzhou-class protective cruisers. This is also the last batch of construction of these two types of warships in the past five years. After completion, these two types of warships will no longer be built, but will design new types of warships. Of course, these warships will have to wait at least one year to be put into service, and they will not be able to catch up now.

After the Navy's recognition and research, it was decided that this naval exercise would not be dispatched, and all modern warships were used. All warships of this era were dispatched. Six battleships were dispatched, including Weiyang, Boyang, Feiyang, Fuyang, Heyang, and Xingyang; six armored cruisers, Chitu, Jueying, Tuohai, Kaihai, Baohai, and Jinhai, two cruiser detachments, four destroyer detachments, a total of 36 warships, and 16 logistics transport ships. This was also the largest fleet deployed by East China after the Far East War.

The entire military exercise will last 12 days, and depending on the actual situation at that time, it can be followed by another 3 days. Once a war broke out with Japan, Qingdao will send another transport ship to support the fleet to ensure that the fleet maintains combat effectiveness.

Of course, the navy's dispatch was not achieved overnight. All preparations were quite complicated, and the complexity could not be completed in 1 or 2 days. Therefore, when Li Sanjie recruited Abe Sodaro, he told him that the military exercise would be carried out 7 days later.

Before the navy was dispatched, good news came first on the land. After receiving the order from the Military Commission to occupy Anhui Province by force, Luo Yue met with the 11th Field Army of the Central Military Region, which was ordered to join the war, and then launched an operation.

Although the Military Commission formulated a plan for Luo Yue to occupy Anhui Province, Luo Yue did not want to follow this plan step by step. After all, he had been in Anhui for a long time and had a general understanding of the situation here. It can be said that there will be basically no resistance in the entire Anhui except for the Anqing Ministry where the governor's yamen is located. It can be said that when the People's Army arrives, local officials will open the city to surrender. Now that he has sufficient troops, he is not as stretched as he is in dealing with the Red Lotus Sect, so he can completely divide his troops and attack, advance in one go, and take down the entire Anhui Province in the shortest time.
