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 carry out the order.

However, in the afternoon, they discovered something not quite right.

Some unknown 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 discussed it one after another, but no one could explain 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 Zone.

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 didn't carry any weapons.

"I request to see Section Chief Mizutomi Nakahama immediately."

The sergeant said this as soon as he arrived.

Not long after, the soldiers who reported the news came out and brought the sergeant to 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 Matsutomi also said coldly: "I have to wait for His Majesty Shimata's order."

Shimado and Hiroyuki were still in the hospital, struggling on the edge of life and death. He had no way of issuing orders.

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.

Moreover, 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 Minet standing next to him said bitterly: "He is the murderer!"

"Calm down, Lieutenant, please calm down." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "We all know 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."

Yonei is a close confidant of Shimata and Hiiro, and has always been loyal to Shimata and Hiiro.

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.

There are still two hours left.

…

Manila Hospital.

Shimada and Hiiro woke 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 Shido, the Marine Corps has surrounded the Nakahama Defense Area."

Iwabuchi did not care about the opponent's health three times: "But in this situation, I don't want to see civil strife occur. This will seriously affect morale, so I need your help."

Shimada and Hiiro could hear it.

However, with my current body, it is difficult to even speak, so what can I do to help?

…

Evening, 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 Hahara doing?

If he were here, there would be something he could do.

…

"It's seven o'clock, Mr. Taniguchi." Minai was already impatient.

"Order, enter 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 is difficult for him to make a decision until the last moment.

Most people are like this.

Nakahama Matsutomi is no exception.

All you have 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 looked at 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 and reported: "And they also brought two heavy machine guns."
