The atmosphere at the dock gradually became tense.
Nearby police began to impose security. At the same time, the military police who heard the news also arrived.
A group of military police came to the riverside and tried to approach the cruise ship. But he was rejected by the agents of the Renaissance Society. Zhong Yang came to ask for instructions.
"Captain, should we..."
"Need not."
Zhang Yong waved his hand. Let the military police come in.
big occasion. Naturally, the more people, the better. It was not easy for the Japanese invaders to make the mistake.
When the Japanese invaders make mistakes, they have the best opportunity.
What Zhang Yong was most worried about at this time was that the Japanese invaders would wake up. Then immediately release all British and American hostages. Then they jumped into the water to escape. That would be troublesome.
Now, it doesn't matter whether these spies are caught or not. The important thing is to let them make a big deal out of it.
We have to wait for the arrival of people from the British and American consulates.
Of course, the Japanese consulate will definitely be present.
So anxious...
Why haven't the reporters come yet?
Come and take photos quickly! No picture, no truth. There must be a picture!
In this era, PS technology was not yet developed. It is more difficult to repair photos. So, the picture is basically the truth.
If you don't have a picture, you can't publish it in the newspaper. The credibility of the newspaper is also not high.
Because words are the least convincing.
Text is the easiest to modify.
However, if it is actively illustrated, it can be spread around the world.
It's like the Spanish Civil War, which is well known to the world, but there are many photos of it.
Therefore, in many areas occupied by the Japanese invaders, the Japanese invaders had very strict management of cameras. The leakage of photos is strictly prohibited. I am just worried that it will leak to the international community.
News media in any country are subject to strict controls on photos.
Photos posted without permission are strictly prohibited.
Even a free country like the beautiful country. Strict press controls were also implemented after Pearl Harbor. Not even the text was published.
"coming!"
"coming!"
Finally, a reporter arrived.
Zhang Yong didn't have time to ask which newspaper it was. Send money first.
Ten oceans per person. Then ask them to take photos from multiple angles.
The reporters suddenly felt like they were beaten to death. Is there such a good thing in the world? Not only do you get news, but you also get money?
He immediately raised his camera and looked at the Uranus cruise ship going into action.
Zhang Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
alright. Now there are pictures. There are pictures and the truth.
It is not easy for the Japanese to deny it now. Foreigners are not idiots either.
What?
Are you saying the robber is Chinese?
Sorry about that. Leave the full power to the foreign master to handle it.
Kill all the robbers.
Anyway, there are British warships in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. There are also American warships over at Wusongkou.
For the Jinling government, there is no such thing as sovereignty. The foreign warships can come in at any time. It doesn't matter whether the robbers are Chinese or Japanese, just kill them all.
hehe……
In the end, it was the Japanese who suffered the consequences. If the hostages suffer losses, the foreigners also suffer losses.
The Japanese spies on the ship may have felt that Chinese lives were not valuable. Therefore, when taking hostages, the Chinese were not considered at all. All those detained were foreigners.
From a value perspective, it seems right. The Japanese invaders indeed made the smartest choice.
"Captain, foreigners are here."
"Okay. Don't worry about him. Just cooperate actively."
"clear."
Zhang Yong stood still.
The first to arrive were a group of British people.
Their movements are still very fast. Someone must have asked for help.
At this time, the British Empire still considered itself the most powerful country in the world. In Jinling, you must show your dominance.
It is estimated that the British warships have also received the news and are on their way.
"Captain, Mr. West is looking for you."
"Come right away!"
Zhang Yong said calmly.
He came to an Englishman.
This Englishman is tall, thin, stern, and like an ascetic.
"Who are you……"
"Mr. West, my name is Zhang Yong, and I am a member of the Fuxing Society."
"You speak good English."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Zhang Yong expressed his gratitude.
His English in his previous life was terrible. But I can barely communicate.
For West, it was important to find someone who knew the specific situation and spoke English. It's really important. At least he could get first-hand information.
Zhang Yong didn't hide it either. Tell the other person exactly. Sincerity is a must-win.
West soon became convinced that the Japanese were really responsible.
Zhang Yong ordered the captured Japanese spy to be brought up. Ask in person.
"idiot!"
The spy yelled crazily. Not afraid of the British.
This is not an act. I'm really not afraid.
At this moment in Japan, the whole country is very fanatical.
There is a mentality that Asia is Asia for us Japanese and Westerners must not get involved.
Otherwise, six years later, there would be no direct war with Britain and the United States.
It sounds like World War II is still far away. In fact, it was only six years before the Pacific War broke out.
Before that, it was only two years before the full-scale war between China and Japan broke out.
"idiot!"
"You are all dead!"
"idiot!"
The spy roared crazily.
West's face suddenly became as ugly as the bottom of a pot.
The roar of the Japanese also included the British. This made West very unhappy. But there is no solution for the time being.
Because it would take several hours for the British warships to arrive from the Yangtze River estuary.
However, there is no doubt that the culprits are the Japanese.
“What do the Japanese want?”
"I don't know. Perhaps, Mr. West, you can ask Mr. Isotani Rensuke?"
"This son of a bitch."
West cursed fiercely.
It turns out that Rensuke Isotani is here. There were also large groups of Japanese.
It seems that the Japanese get the news very quickly!
Zhang Yong deliberately retreated into the crowd.
Let the British negotiate with the Japanese. Slowly noisy. Not in a hurry.
Sure enough, the exchange between West and Isotani Rensuke was not pleasant. Although both of them have restraints. Clearly tense.
Isotani Rensuke will definitely not admit that the Japanese did it. But West knew it.
Soon after, a group of Americans arrived.
And then there are the French…
And then there are the Germans…
And Italy, Spain...
Zhang Yong looked on from the side. A smile appeared on his lips. Well come. The more people who come, the better.
Huh? Why didn’t I see any foreign reporters?
A bunch of trash!
With such big news, those foreign reporters haven’t shown up yet?
no. They must be present.
"Yang Zhi."
"arrive!"
"Go and invite all those foreign reporters."
"yes."
Yang Zhi took people there immediately.
Zhang Yong continued to huddle in the crowd and watch the excitement. Let the situation unfold.
Over there, communication between West and Isotani Rensuke has been completely severed. West was angry. Determined to use force to solve it. He was waiting for the warship to arrive.
Isotani Rensuke frowned. It feels very passive. I really want to kill those arrogant guys.
Damn it for offending so many people at once.
"Captain, Virgo is here..."
"knew."
Zhang Yong hurried over to see Virgo.
Virgos are also shrewd people. I saw so many foreigners that I didn’t appear in public.
"Virgo."
"Let the foreigners handle it themselves."
"yes."
"It's not convenient for me to come forward. You have full authority to handle this matter."
"clear."
Zhang Yong nodded respectfully.
He knew Virgo would make such a choice.
Indeed, it is not convenient for senior officials of the government to come forward. Because this is the contradiction of foreigners.
The government only needs to prove that the robbers on the ship are Japanese. Zhang Yong has done this. Therefore, what happens next basically has nothing to do with the government.
That is to say, send people to maintain order on the periphery. The foreigners and the Japanese will discuss how to solve the problem specifically.
If the Japanese refuse to admit that they did it. The British will definitely take military action. The British warship must be on its way to Shimonoseki Pier.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
At this time, more and more reporters arrived.
There are also some foreign journalists in the middle. Blonde, very obvious.
It's a pity that the reporters who came later did not have Dayang's reward. The speed is too slow. Foreign journalists are not special either.
Only the first ten reporters to arrive did.
This is telling all reporters to hurry up next time. Otherwise, there is no benefit.
Some British reporters may have been excited and rushed to the side of the cruise ship.
"boom!"
Suddenly, gunshots were heard on the cruise ship.
Everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to the cruise ship. Immediately, everyone saw that a foreigner was hit.
I don't know if the foreigner is British or American. Anyway, trying to escape from the cruise ship. As a result, he was shot in the back by a Japanese spy. He fell to the ground on the spot.
"asshole!"
West was immediately angry.
Other foreigners also became furious.
"idiot!"
Isotani Rensuke also cursed secretly.
Which secret service bastard is he? Have any of them received any training?
Shooting to kill in public? In front of so many British and Americans? And there are so many reporters. There are also a bunch of British and American reporters.
idiot! Are you from Nan Agency?
Are Nan Agency all a bunch of trash?
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Reporters took photos one after another.
The spy hasn't woken up yet. Still very arrogant.
"Tong Luohan!"
"arrive!"
"Kill him!"
"yes!"
"Snapped!"
A crisp gunshot. The spy died on the spot.
The bullet hit the Japanese invader directly in the chest. One shot kills.
OK, get one.
However, the remaining spies were hiding in the cabin.
Quiet.
nervous.
Time flows minute by minute.
Finally, a dark shadow appeared downstream.
It was a British warship arriving. It's really fast. It seems like a frigate?
Isotani Rensuke's face became even more ugly.
He doesn't care about the life or death of those bastards.
However, there is one thing he may not be able to control. It means the identity is exposed.
Those spies obviously didn't receive the order. When speaking about encounters with foreigners, conceal your identity. Instead, you may want to show that you are Japanese.
If they yell onboard, onboard, dead, dead, that's it.
However, that's for sure.
Isotani Rensuke cannot change.
really……
A spy appears.
Yell directly to the shore in Japanese.
Zhang Yong:? ? ?
Can't understand.
But it feels very dramatic.
Translated by Yang Zhi: "He said that he was a warrior of the Japanese Empire and asked everyone to retreat immediately. Otherwise, he would kill all the hostages!"
Snapped!
Zhang Yong slapped him.
This spy did a great job!
Quickly bring the atmosphere to a climax!
Ness!
