Expedition to Europe

The assassination of Japanese Prime Minister Hara Takashi became the biggest news in the world at the end of 1919.

If you look at the early 20th century from the early 21st century, you will find that the early 20th century was an extremely chaotic society with no order, no justice, and only power.

Well, the 21st century is not much better. Although a hundred years have passed, the early 21st century is still only power.

There is still progress. At least in the 21st century, when a certain national leader is unpopular, others will choose a more gentle way to replace the national leader, rather than drawing swords as in the early 20th century.

In fact, whether Hara Takashi dies or not, it has no meaning for the "Coconut City Treaty" that has been signed. Even if Hara Takashi is dead, the "Coconut City Treaty" will be implemented, and it must be implemented without compromise.

Kure Naval Factory, Hiroshima Prefecture.

On this day, a huge fleet came to the sea outside the Kure Naval Factory and surrounded the waterway.

Clang clang crotch...

A loud alarm sounded throughout the shipyard.

As the largest shipyard in Japan, the Wu Naval Factory also has a lighthouse. When the fleet was found flying the tricolor flag, the lighthouse immediately sounded the alarm.

The alarm did not last too long. The Lan Fang soldiers in the uniforms of the Marine Corps quickly landed, giving the shipyard security forces no time to react.

"We are the Lan Fang Marines who have been ordered to take over the Wu Naval Factory. Please stop the meaningless resistance and gather in the square in the center of the shipyard immediately. We will not hurt anyone, but if anyone has hostile behavior, we will regard it as a provocation... Repeat, we are..." Small boats with loud speakers hanging were running around in the Wu Naval Factory.

Just when the workers were panicking, the Marines had quickly taken control of the dock and were preparing to take control of the "Nagato" anchored at the dock.

That's right, it was the "Nagato".

The "Nagato" can be regarded as the most advanced battleship in the world. This battleship was originally built in the Wu Naval Factory. It has now been launched, but has not yet been outfitted.

Just half a month ago, the battleship "Nagato" terminated its last sea trial ahead of schedule and returned to its home port to prepare for outfitting. At that time, the Battle of Ningbei Port and the Battle of Cam Ranh Bay had ended, and the Japanese fleet heading south and north had been completely wiped out. Japan urgently needed the "Nagato" to serve in order to strengthen Japan's naval power.

But the war took a sharp turn for the worse after that. The Japanese army was defeated again and again on all battlefields, and there was no hope of victory at all, and there was not even any news of local victory. This made the workers of the Wu Naval Factory panic, and the progress of outfitting was slowed down a lot.

"Stop, what are you doing? What are you doing?" With hysterical shouting, a group of well-dressed middle-aged and elderly people ran over breathlessly.

"We are the Lan Fang Marine Corps who have been ordered to take over the Wu Naval Shipyard. Please stop the meaningless resistance and gather in the square in the center of the shipyard immediately. We will not hurt anyone, but if anyone has hostile behavior, we will regard it as a provocation." Zheng Jiming, the head of the 1st Marine Corps Regiment, said righteously.

"Take over? Why didn't we get the relevant order?" The silver-haired man in a suit questioned Zheng Jiming.

"What's your name?" Zheng Jiming remained calm.

"Ito Tomoji, Director of the Technical Department of the Wu Naval Shipyard." Ito Tomoji's expression was serious.

"You don't have enough authority." Zheng Jiming's words could choke people to death.

"You..." Ito Tomoji's face immediately turned the color of pig liver.

Japanese companies are extremely seniority-based places. The longer you stay, the older your qualifications. People like Ito Tomoji dare not neglect even if the president comes in person.

Zheng Jiming didn't care whether he was a minister or not. His mission was to control the Wu Navy Shipyard and capture the "Nagato". As for other things, Zheng Jiming didn't care.

"According to the peace agreement signed by your Prime Minister and our Foreign Minister in Coconut City a few days ago, you must compensate us 1.5 billion Lanfang Yuan as war reparations. The Wu Navy Shipyard and all the items in the shipyard have been used as collateral to compensate Lanfang, so now please order your workers to assemble." Zheng Jiming did not hide his ambition for the "Nagato".

"Shameless, you just want the "Nagato"!" Ito Tomoji's hands were shaking with anger.

"That's right, we just want the "Nagato", as for shamelessness... Haha, only the winner is qualified to judge others." Zheng Jiming's hands did not shake, and even his voice did not fluctuate significantly.

"Why is there such a contract? This is a complete conspiracy!" Ito Tomoji's hands trembled as he pointed at Zheng Jiming, and his body was shaking a little. Two people behind Ito Tomoji rushed up to support Ito Tomoji.

"Whether it's a conspiracy or not is not up to you to decide. Your Prime Minister was present at the negotiation from beginning to end. Now you say it's a conspiracy. Do you mean that Prime Minister Hara Takashi was also involved?" Zheng Jiming didn't care who Hara Takashi was. He threw dirty water at him.

"You... We would rather sink 'Nagato' to the bottom of the sea than give it to you!" Ito Tomoji trembled for a long time and could only think of this way to fight back.

"It doesn't matter, even if you sink the 'Nagato' to the bottom of the sea, it won't have any impact on us. You will have to pay the gold then, and we can just build a new one. To be honest, I feel really bad about this 'Nagato' Not very good." Zheng Jiming had to raise his head to see the bridge of the "Nagato". Even though he said this, the heat in his eyes could make others feel the heat.

"Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to evaluate the 'Nagato'? This is the best warship in the world. Only Kure Navy Shipyard has the ability to build her. Even if I give you gold, you can't build it." Satoshi Ito The two mouths do not hesitate to speak.

"I want to remind you, don't think that you can rely on your old age to live up to your old age. I am nothing. I am the Lanfang Marine Corps. The Marine Corps that just beat your proud navy to the bottom of the sea. If I am not something , then who are you?" Zheng Jiming also yelled.

One thing is strange. I don’t know if the people behind Tomoe Ito don’t understand Chinese, or if Japan’s hierarchy of superiority and inferiority is really that strict. Even if Jung Kim-myung starts to curse, the Japanese people behind Tomoe Ito can still speak Chinese. keep Calm.

"You, you will not succeed, absolutely not." Ito Tomoji was already a little incoherent, and his eyes looking at the "Nagato" were full of reluctance and sadness.

"Mr. Tomoe Ito, let me remind you once again that you have been defeated and Japan has been defeated, so please be sensible now. As an occupying force, we have maintained the greatest restraint. If you continue this uncooperative attitude , then I don’t guarantee what will happen next.” Zheng Jiming was a little impatient.

While Zheng Kiming and Tomoji Ito were "communicating", a group of marines rushed to the gangway and prepared to board the "Nagato", but the Japanese workers who were constructing on the "Nagato" directly threw the gangway into the sea. A Marine nearly fell overboard.

As the largest factory in Japan, Kure Naval Factory must have garrison troops to maintain order. At this moment, Japanese troops were coming as fast as they could, but they had no weapons in their hands.

In the "Coconut City Contract" signed between Lanfang and Japan, one of the provisions was that Japan was not allowed to retain its army and all Japanese soldiers must be forced to retire.

Although the unit in front of them has not been disbanded yet, it is obvious that the weapons have been collected and soon, this unit will also be disbanded.

Even if there are weapons, they are of no use. Many Japanese soldiers have proven this with their lives. Even if there are no tanks and aircraft to help, the Japanese army cannot defeat Lanfang's army if the number of people is equal.

Just after Zheng Kiming landed, more Marines were landing continuously. The weapons used by these Marines not only included light machine guns, but even mortars were brought ashore.

This gap in military force is very obvious. Although Tomoji Ito is not a soldier, as the director of the technical department of Kure Navy Factory, Tomoji Ito is no stranger to these weapons.

"Minister Ito, please forgive me, we can no longer guard Kure Naval Factory." The Japanese colonel who led the team was respectful.

"Can't guard...what do you mean?" Ito Tomoe already felt something was wrong.

"Just now, I received a telegram from the military department. From now on, the Wu Naval Factory will be handed over to the Lanfang Army, including... the 'Nagato'." The colonel glanced at the 'Nagato' as he spoke. The door number also showed reluctance and sadness in his eyes.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Tomoe Ito grabbed the colonel like crazy and asked.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry..." The colonel was already in tears and just apologized incoherently.

"No, it can't be like this. You can't take away 'Nagato'. You can't do this..." An older man in a suit suddenly cried and actually knelt down in front of Zheng Jiming with a plop and begged.

"Please, don't do this..."

"This is the hard work of all of us, you can't be so cold..."

More people knelt down and begged. It seemed that they all understood Chinese, but it was just not convenient for them to express their opinions just now.

To be honest, when faced with a large group of old people with white hair and beards kneeling down in front of them, many people's first reaction is to jump away immediately. If you suffer this in a big way, your life will be shortened.

Jung Kim-myung is certainly no exception.

"To be honest, everyone, this issue does not depend on me. I am also acting under orders." Zheng Jiming immediately explained.

When facing a group of Japanese who were hostile to him, Zheng Jiming could fight back tit for tat, but when he saw these old people kneeling down and begging to him, Zheng Jiming's tone really couldn't be harsh.

"At the very least, let us build her. If you want compensation, we will accompany you a real 'Nagato' instead of such a semi-finished product." Tomoe Ito accepted the reality.

"This, I can only say, I want to ask for instructions from above." Zheng Jiming can't make the decision.
