None of the soldiers knew what happened. All they knew was that their commander had been assassinated.
Then what? Then no. What the top management does is a matter for the top management. It has nothing to do with them being soldiers.
When Nakahamatomi ordered the defense zone to be put on alert, all the soldiers had to do was to resolutely execute the order.
However, in the afternoon, they discovered something not quite right. Some unidentified people began to appear near the defense area.
Around 3 p.m., Marines began to appear again. Even opposite them, these navy red deer actually built a temporary position.
What is this doing? The security forces would never guess the truth. They were talking there one after another, but no one could tell the reason.
Nakahama Matsutomi, who kept receiving reports, became increasingly nervous. These circumstances show that Iwabuchi really wanted to do something to himself three times.
Once this worst outcome occurs, what should you do? Are you really fighting back? Nakahama Matsutomi was restless.
"Habara Ikko" went to arrange other things, and Nakahama Matsutomi didn't even have anyone with whom he could discuss.
When a person is isolated and helpless, it is easy for him to feel anxious and irritable as time goes by.
Evening comes quietly. At this time, there were more than 200 Marines gathered around the Zhongbin Defense Area.
They even brought a mortar. What happened? Even the ordinary soldiers began to whisper, obviously feeling uneasy.
At this time, a Marine Corps sergeant walked towards the defense zone. He was not carrying any weapons.
"I request to see Section Chief Nakahama Tsutomi immediately." The sergeant said as soon as he arrived. Not long after, the soldiers who reported the news came out and brought the sergeant in front of Nakahama Matsutomi.
"Section Chief Nakahama, Commander Toyoganbuchi ordered you to report to the headquarters immediately." The sergeant said expressionlessly.
"I said, there are many things in the defense zone now." Nakahama Matsuya also said coldly: "I have to wait for His Excellency Shimata's order." Shimata and Hiiro are still in the hospital, struggling on the edge of life and death. He has no way to issue an order. Order.
The sergeant seemed to have expected what he would say: "The deadline is before eight o'clock in the evening. Goodbye, Mr. Nakahama, Section Chief." After the sergeant finished speaking, he left.
Before 8pm. This is an ultimatum! what to do? With the people on hand, there is no way to compete with the opposing Marine Corps.
And once a conflict breaks out, the security forces in the surrounding defense areas will definitely not come to help them without receiving orders.
…
"The ultimatum has been given, now it depends on what Nakahama Matsutomi does." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly.
"There is no need for an ultimatum at all." Second Lieutenant Minai, who was standing next to him, said bitterly: "He is the murderer!"
"Calm down, Second Lieutenant, please calm down." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "We all know that he is the murderer, but I don't want to see a war between imperial soldiers. At eight o'clock, I will wait until eight o'clock." Minai is Daandao Kazuhiro's cronies have always been loyal to Shimata and Hihiro.
After Shimata was assassinated, he firmly believed that this was planned by Nakahama Matsutomi. Eight o'clock? Mine checked the time.
Now, it's six o'clock. Two hours left. ...Manila Hospital. Shimada and Hiiro wake up again.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Iwabuchi three times. He opened his mouth, his breath was low, he didn't know what he said, and he couldn't hear it clearly at all.
"Your Excellency Shimato, the Marine Corps has surrounded the Nakahama Defense Area." Iwabuchi did not care about the opponent's body three times: "But in this situation, I do not want to see civil strife occur, which will seriously affect morale. , so I need your help." Shimado and Hiiro could hear.
However, with my current body, it is difficult to even speak, so what can I do to help? ...Late, seven o'clock.
Nakahama Tsutomi paced around the room irritably. The time for the ultimatum is getting closer and closer.
A choice must be made.
"Where is Hahara-kun, haven't you come back yet?"
"Yes, I haven't come back yet." What on earth is Han Yuan doing? If he were here, there would be a way.
…
"It's seven o'clock, Mr. Taniguchi." Minai was already impatient.
"Order, enter the combat position." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly. He understands one thing very well. The state of mind when a person faces the most important choice in life.
He only had one chance to choose, and the other party gave him a time limit. Therefore, it was difficult for him to make a decision until the last moment.
This is true for most people. Nakahama Matsutomi is no exception. All he has to do is wait.
The rest is up to Tian Qi. He must have completed preparations at this time. ...Seven-thirty.
Nakahama Matsutomi found that his heartbeat began to accelerate. In just one minute, he checked the time several times.
Hahara-kun, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in time.
"Report, dozens more Marines have been added around the defense area." At this time, his subordinates came in to report: "And they also brought two heavy machine guns."
"I know." Nakahama Tsutomi's lips trembled slightly. The other party made it clear that he wanted to put himself to death.
Can't give them such a chance! Nakahama Matsutomi took a deep breath. Get out and surrender! With the men on hand, there was no way to stop those Marines.
And I have a clear conscience. The assassinations of Shimado and Hiiro had nothing to do with him. It can always be explained clearly.
Did Iwabuchi really dare to kill himself three times without any evidence? He straightened his uniform.
He picked up the command knife and looked at it, then put it back. No weapons can be carried. You can't give the other party the slightest excuse to shoot!
At this time, it was already 7:45. …
"Your Excellency Taniguchi, it's seven fifty." Minai reminded him. about there. Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "Order, prepare to attack!"... Tian Qi was always there, and he was always observing with a telescope.
Nakahama Matsutomi is so patient, he still hasn’t come out yet. In fact, no matter what, his ending is already doomed.
...The Marine Corps has completed preparations for the attack. At this moment, suddenly, came from behind them
"Boom boom" explosion sound.
"Attack, attack!" shouted the voice instantly. Not only that,
The sound of machine gunfire was heard almost at the same moment.
"Fight back, fight back!" Meng Shaoyuan shouted loudly: "Build a line of defense, fight back, and report to the commander immediately that we are under attack!" It began. From this moment on, Nakahama Matsutomi's fate was doomed!
