Chapter 241 The Second Nagasaki Incident (4)

Sure enough, just after the newspaper was released, the anger of the Japanese people in Tokyo was immediately ignited. Because of the deliberate publicity of the Japanese media, the resentment and hatred of the Japanese people towards the East China were accumulated to a limit. This Nagasaki incident was like a ***, which easily ignited this *** library. Later results proved that the consequences of public grievances aroused were far beyond the expectations of the people who manipulated public opinion.

At around 10 a.m. that day, tens of thousands of people gathered on the streets of Tokyo to demonstrate in front of the cabinet's office building, demanding that the cabinet severely punish the perpetrators of the East China **, seize the visiting warships of the East China **, and expel all Chinese people in Japan, and even some people encouraged Japan to declare war on the East China **. At the same time, in other places in Tokyo, many people robbed and smashed Chinese shops and beat Chinese people in Japan, and saw a riot happening.

In fact, after the Far East War, the living space of Chinese in Japan deteriorated sharply, so most Chinese chose to leave Japan and make another way to make a living. However, Japan is the country with the largest number of Chinese except Southeast Asia. Many Chinese people have married and had children here, and have fallen leaves and have roots. They are unwilling to give up their peaceful life in Japan. At the same time, a large number of Japanese students are studying in Japan and can only continue to stay in Japan. At this time, they became the object of the Japanese venting their anger.

The cabinet was holding a meeting to discuss ways to resolve the Nagasaki incident, but after learning that the riots had occurred, Yamamoto Homoto also decisively ordered the meeting to be stopped and immediately recruited the head of the Tokyo Police Station and the Tokyo garrison troops, requiring them to mobilize police forces, try their best to maintain order, disperse the crowd, and protect the palace, cabinet office buildings and consulates and embassies of various countries to prevent unexpected incidents.

In the afternoon, the Consul of East China ** in Japan asked to see Yamamoto Honbuki and issued a solemn protest to the Japanese ***, pointing out that the reports of major media in Tokyo today were seriously false. The Nagasaki incident was caused by a dispute between soldiers of the US fleet and local residents, and had nothing to do with the visiting fleet of East China **. Moreover, the visiting fleet of East China ** has been strictly adhering to military discipline during its visit. On the day of the incident, the officers and soldiers of the visiting fleet of East China ** were on the warships, and no one went out. They were by no means a dispute with local residents. Therefore, the reports of major media in Tokyo were serious slandering and malicious smearing the visiting fleet of East China **. They asked the Japanese ** to clarify immediately, and ordered the major media in Tokyo to apologize and ensure the safety of the visiting fleet.

It turned out that what happened in Japan was almost always transmitted back to China at the first time. Therefore, after the Nagasaki incident, the Qingdao Executive Yuan received it immediately. However, since this incident had nothing to do with the visiting fleet of East China, it was caused by a dispute between American soldiers and local residents. Although it later triggered protests from the Japanese people in Nagasaki, the Executive Yuan did not care much about it. Most people have a joke mentality and look at the development of their attitude.

Even at this time, there were still people who were still clear-headed, and they only asked whether the visiting fleet of East China's visiting fleet would be implicated if there was a conflict between Japan and the United States. After all, only four cruisers were sent out this time. Therefore, after the visiting fleet generated power, they asked for instructions, hoping that the fleet would sail out of the port and stay outside the port. After a brief discussion, the Executive Yuan agreed to the visiting fleet's opinions. It would be better to be cautious at this time. So East China's visiting fleet also drove out of Nagasaki Port a little later and stayed outside the port. Qingdao was completely relieved and thought that it would be possible to prepare a small bench for melon seeds and peanuts to watch the show.

After only one day, the wind direction changed, and Japanese social public opinion turned the contradictions to East China **. After receiving this news, the Executive Yuan was also very surprised and realized that the situation was serious. It was obvious that someone was messing with Japanese public opinion behind the scenes and planned to completely overturn the responsibility for the Nagasaki incident to East China **.

Of course, East China ** cannot take the blame, but before the reaction, we must first confirm again whether this Nagasaki incident has anything to do with the visiting fleet of East China **. Because a high-power radio station was installed on the Jinan ship, it can directly communicate with the country. Regardless of going ashore with the cable station, the Executive Yuan and the visiting fleet conducted telegram communication for more than three hours, and finally confirmed that the Nagasaki incident had nothing to do with the visiting fleet of East China **. It was completely a rumor-making incident from Japan, and some pointed the contradictions in public opinion to the East China **.

So the Executive Yuan immediately ordered the consulate in Japan to protest to Japan to express his attitude. Of course, some people suggested that the fleet would simply return. Bi Jing was still in Japan at this time, which was too dangerous. However, after the division of the Military Commission, it was believed that the fleet had been stationed outside Nagasaki Port, so the danger was not very high. Moreover, this time the fleet was all cruisers, with a maximum speed of 23 knots, which could be escaped easily. Moreover, when the Japanese ** had not announced the true image, the fleet would return and would give people some handles. So in the end, it decided that the fleet would still stay in the Japanese waters for the time being, but it should be parked outside the range of shore defense artillery fire. At the same time, it should be vigilant. At night, it also required the domestic fleet to be prepared so that it could be dispatched to receive the visiting fleet at any time.

Originally, Yamamoto Kyoto was under great pressure. After receiving protests from East China, he felt that another mountain was added to his back. Of course, Yamamoto Kyoto could not say anything else, so he could only tell the consul in East China that the media reports did not represent the attitude of Japan, and Japan was investigating the true appearance of the Nagasaki incident. Once the investigation was found, it would be announced as soon as possible.

After seeing off the consul in Japan from East China, Yamamoto immediately sent a power to Nagasaki, demanding that the Navy stationed in Nagasaki must strictly guard the base and ensure the safety of the U.S. fleet in East China. At this time, no more accidents will occur. Then, he ordered the police station in Nagasaki to collect evidence and witnesses as soon as possible, and find out the true image.

In fact, it seems that it has been out of the past, but it is empty talk. It requires arresting the parties involved, confessions, relevant evidence, etc. Yamamoto Honbuki hopes to obtain sufficient evidence as soon as possible to prove the true appearance of the Nagasaki incident. Only in this way can the public grievance be calmed. Even if the public grievance cannot be calmed for the time being, it can still legitimately let the East China ** and the American fleet leave Japan.

That night, at around 1 a.m., Yamamoto Honbuki was awakened by his family in his sleep at home. It turned out that the officials on duty in the cabinet received the latest news that something happened again in Nagasaki, and the visiting fleet of East China ** was attacked at night. Of course, the officials on duty were not able to solve the problem, so they had to send someone to find the Prime Minister.

Yamamoto's head suddenly became much louder with a "buzzing" sound. I was really afraid of anything. It was because the Navy openly disobeyed the cabinet's orders and attacked the visiting fleet of East China, or the visiting fleet of East China, or the visiting fleet of East China, first fired, attacked Nagasaki Port, or some misunderstanding between the two sides, which led to the accidental fire. This was all inaccurate.

What are you going to sleep at this time? Get up and deal with it quickly. At least I figured out the true appearance. So Yamamoto Honbuki got up and dressed, and ordered someone to be sent to the homes of other cabinet members to inform them to come to the cabinet to gather quickly. Anyway, I can't sleep anymore, and no one else can lie down, they have to get up and endure it.

When Yamamoto Kyoto arrived at the cabinet, he received two reports from Nagasaki. First, it can be confirmed that the Nagasaki Fort did not visit the East China **, and the East China ** visiting fleet did not suffer any losses, but about 3-4 small boats were sunk at the scene, which seemed to be civilian ships.

It turned out that although there was no media deliberately guiding public opinion in the Nagasaki area, after a day of fermentation, the people's anger was even higher, and the finger was also transferred from the US fleet to the East China fleet. At this time, the East China fleet sailed out of Nagasaki Port and was stationed outside the port, and the people thought it was going to escape. At the same time, the Nagasaki Police Station received an order from the cabinet to strengthen the investigation of the Nagasaki incident and tried its best to capture members of the community who attacked the American soldiers. However, this community was regarded as a hero by the Nagasaki people. Of course, most people now believe that they were attacking the soldiers of the East China, not the American soldiers. After all, at this time, it really seemed that what was really not important.

There are also many radical ideas. Extreme Japanese people take them as their example and want to do something. But now the naval base is strictly guarded. No matter how radical the mind is, no matter how extreme the Japanese people dare not attack the military base. In addition, the fleet of East China has now sailed out of the port and is stationed outside the port, so it is useless even if it attacks the port.

However, some people have come up with a solution. Even if the fleet of East China is stationed outside the port, they can take a boat to the warships of East China. If the ship is equipped with a ship, it may really cause serious losses to the fleet of East China.

Nagasaki is one of Japan's main port cities. There are naturally a large number of civilian ships. Some radical regiments have military backgrounds, so it is not impossible to do something. Moreover, there are a large number of army intelligence personnel in Nagasaki. Adhering to the attitude of the army, they naturally make things bigger, the better. If they really sank or injured an East China warship, Yamamoto's Cabinet will have only one way to step down.
