The Jiashente fleet suddenly appeared in the South China Sea. After Wang Huzi was ingenious to carry out inhumane shelling the small crab with his claws, he obviously poured another pot of hot oil on the already sensational giant oil field incident in Sumatra.

The first one to attack was the British Empire Far East Fleet, two old battleships stationed in Hong Kong and Singapore, five armored cruisers, and seven cruisers were all dispatched, and they rushed towards the South China Sea. At the same time, the fleet commander Lieutenant General Ainer sent a telegram to the Chinese Ministry of Defense to ask the reasons for the deployment of the QSIS fleet. The reply was that "the fleet is carrying out annual exercises for escort and evacuation of overseas Chinese... What is an exercise? The Chinese Navy was still using sails when the British Empire was playing this set!

So Lieutenant General Ainer ordered the fleet to continue to advance, contacted Whitehall and hoped that the Hood and the Counterattack, which were sailing around the world, would arrive in the Far East as soon as possible. In the telegram, he even used the word "about to explode". At the same time, a Holland, known as the South China Sea little overlord, was panicked. Two Dutch-class protective cruisers rushed to the coast of Batavia with three gunboats for alert. At the same time, the port fortress also hurriedly contacted the British army, hoping to send new launch medicines.

Europe has been involved! The Dutch parliament immediately issued a statement condemning the regional tensions of the Chinese navy and reiterated that the Netherlands is a neutral country and that the East Indies is its legal colony and has been recognized by countries around the world. After the statement was issued, it probably felt that it was soft and unreliable, because the United States, which rose more than 20 years ago, defeated Spain by the US-South American Navy, and since then it has entered the ranks of naval powers. Therefore, the Dutch Prime Minister and the Navy hurriedly asked Lord Deko to dispatch troops to check whether there were Chinese ships deliberately stranded in the harbor.

If it explodes... it's not a joke! After the troops inspecting the harbor were dispatched, they stuffed another two Dutch-class protective cruisers into sailors and hurriedly set off from Rotterdam. But the Netherlands also knew that their own little wealth was not enough for a Taiwan Island-class bust. But what could be done? The Java-class light cruiser, known as the best, is just similar to the Tumenjiang-class light cruiser, and is still struggling in the dock. In the end, he had to use a killer move and send a special envoy to the UK for help.

Of course, Britain cannot watch the Netherlands be bullied. Moreover, the Strait of Malacca is a key place that must be kept alive. But now is the gap for the British Navy, and the Hood and the Counterattack are still on vacation in Peru. If you want to cross the Pacific Ocean for at least two weeks, the fleet in the Far East is not enough to ensure that you defeat the new Chinese navy with the Anhai-class. You can only ask about the attitude of the United States and France first, then pick up the friendship between the British and Japanese, and try to pull people into the water.

France is obviously unwilling to wade into the muddy waters. Not only did it not make a statement, it ordered the fleet stationed in Vietnam to only monitor and not participate. The United States has no interest in oil fields after receiving the large oil refinery contract. In addition, Britain and the United States have been in trouble recently, especially the fact that Britain has leased German Guinea and Rabaul to Japan for 20 years has directly led to a crisis in the Eastern route from the United States to the Far East. What's more, Shell itself is a thorn in Mobil's side. If they get this oil field again, it is estimated that Mobil will have to retreat from the Far East and Nanyang regions with a population of more than 600 million! So the President's Office lazily issued a statement of obvious slacking off such as "I don't want the situation to expand, and the relevant countries should sit down and discuss the future of Nanyang." Then, on the grounds that a humanitarian disaster occurred after the Japanese earthquake, the United States has more important things to do. Continue to be an ostrich.

Of course, the US government is not really an ostrich, but the domestic isolation is serious and it is not a big shocking event, so it is impossible to send a fleet to set off in a mighty manner, but it still quietly ordered the navy stationed in Luzon to be on guard.

The giant oilfield of Sumatra once again allowed the world to see the upstart China's desire to go abroad. When the whole world was attracted by the South China Sea vortex and there was a lot of discussion about whether to accept upstarts, the first thing British Whitehall did was not to roll up her sleeves and prepare to fight, but to contact the ambassador to Japan. However, the British ambassador to Japan was recovering from injuries in the hospital at this moment. The terrible earthquake almost flattened the British embassy to the ground and all external contacts were interrupted. So the ambassador not only did not receive the telegram, but also wrote what he saw and heard of the earthquake. Later, this diary recording the situation after the Kanto earthquake also helped him win the Pulitzer Prize for News.

The Times later used "New Partners on the Table" as the title, describing the game situation in Asian waters during this period.

Yohei Kono is an ordinary soldier of the Chitose Guardian. The guardian is different from the elite division. To put it bluntly, it is a place where the military headquarters is stuffed with garbage. The officers who manage the guardian are disobedient or old, weak, sick and disabled. With financial difficulties and needing to ensure the expenses of sea and land, you can imagine how difficult his life is. His monthly salary cannot even support his family. Of course, if there was no Mi Fury last time, he would never have come to this day. However, the two brothers who worked in the shipyard during the Mi Fury were both broken by the police because of their participation in the strike. Although they were well-kept, they were disabled, resulting in losing their ability to work.

This made the whole family more difficult. Once he even saw his sister-in-law being hugged by several ronin people in Fireworks Lane.

Anger and disappointment with chaebol politics made him join the Kanshe Society, but this identity was not revealed. You should know that the Japanese Kanshe and the Poor Party were all under suppression, and the military and police kept watching it very closely. After learning that he would go to Tokyo to carry out rescue and security tasks, the superiors gave him a task, which was to use a mini camera to take pictures of the earthquake. If completed, they could get a community relief fund of 1,000 yen. 1,000 yuan is an unimaginable wealth for ordinary Japanese families, so he accepted the task.

The troop transport ship slowly approached Tokyo Port on the third day after the earthquake. The once prosperous harbor was full of devastations and broken walls left by the earthquake. A piece of mast on the sea surface was exposed as dense as thorns, and corpses floated with the waves.

Amid the officer's scolding, Yohei Kono and his comrades walked into the city with guns on their backs. The more they walked, the more terrible they felt. In the end, the entire team fell into silence! Because the surroundings were too terrible, they could no longer be described as messy, and they were completely hell on earth!

The newly completed 12-story Tokyo Tower was broken like a matchstick. Half of the Capitol collapsed, and the Customs Bell disappeared. Hundreds of thousands of houses disappeared! In just two days, Tokyo became empty. In the worst Sumida District, when Yohei Kono was ordered to come here to rescue, he realized that the ground had sunk several meters, and all buildings were burned by fires. Many people who were imprisoned by the fire and could not escape were suffocated or burned to death.

!Walking in the block, piles of corpses are everywhere. There are old people, middle-aged people and women holding young children. Some of the corpses are clear in appearance, but more are dark and completely unseen. Many corpses show signs of rot in the hot weather. Some even have cracked belly and their oily intestines squeeze out from the inside like an explosion, causing birds to peck... Even if you don't look closely, you will know that there are tens of thousands of deaths here alone!

Later he learned that not only Tokyo, but also tens of thousands of people in Yokohama, the hardest-hit area, were burned to death by the fire. Last year, the 100,000 tons of oil purchased by Japan from Shell were leaked due to the explosion of the oil depot. The oil was injected into Yokohama Bay and ignited the entire bay, causing the entire bay to burn. More than a dozen merchant ships, including two destroyers, were soon burned. Even the farther Kobe, Osaka and Wugang did not escape. Personnel losses, houses collapsed, and the keels of giant ships that were laid in the dock that the navy had never forgotten were also cracked and lost their function.

From Yokohama Bay to Tokyo Bay, to Sagami Bay and other areas, 8,000 ships of various types sank instantly! The Russian trade fleet, which was composed of large freighters, was highly expected to bring back countless precious metals and raw materials twice, also lost nearly half!

In just one day, nature turned Japan's richest Kanto region into hell. Both the fanatical zodiacists and the pragmatic constitutionalists discovered that when they came out of the shelter, the country had completely changed. Now, let alone fighting for the Southeast Asian countries, I'm afraid they would have to be careful to guard against the Chinese sneak attacks!

While everyone was not paying attention, Yohei Kono took out a small camera and kept pressing the shutter. When the miserable scenes around were frozen, shouts and running suddenly came from the street on the right. He rushed into a broken house and looked out, and dozens of army soldiers and ronin were chasing a group of ragged people. He was very strange. Why was there still chasing at this time? But the shouting made him understand who was running away.

"Catch these rebellious North Korean bastards!"

"If you kill them, they offended the gods."

"The despicable and dirty North Koreans should be killed!"

"Kill him!"

As the soldiers shouted, the soldiers quickly caught up with the group of Koreans. Seeing that they were surrounded and unable to escape, the trembling North Korean man simply grabbed the wooden sticks on the ground and blocked the woman and the child behind him to try to resist. But how could the wooden sticks block Xueliang's bayonet, especially the ronin and the Black Dragon Warriors mixed in the soldiers, waved their swords and cut off their hands and feet! They chopped off their heads, and then killed the child who was so scared that they cried. Finally, they even grabbed the hair of the North Korean women, stripped them naked and insulted them wantonly, and kicked them over to the ground and dragged them on the street to the public with a hemp rope.

In just over a dozen minutes, more than 20 North Korean men, women and children were executed like this, with blood and heads everywhere, and the woman who was dragged all over her body was already dying, with only blood marks telling the crime after the earthquake.

The tragic massacre was recorded while the shutter was pressed. The bloody and terrible scene almost made Yohei Kono almost vomited out. He dared to show his head again after the soldiers left. Later he learned that after the earthquake, the fanatical militarists shifted all the blame to the Koreans, Chinese and party members. They bewitched and even made some Japanese who were afraid of gods believe it, saying that these people offended the gods and caused the earthquake. Then they drove them together to mock and insult them in every way. After conducting the so-called "street trial", they finally pushed them to the survivors of the earthquake to behead them.

The officers and fanatical militarists who took the opportunity to incite the massacre of North Koreans and party members were gathered around the palace, where they set up camps and shouted, "Prevent people from cholera after the disaster, and protect the emperor and the crown prince with their lives."

In the palace, the sturdy Akasaka Ligu became an isolated island of earthquakes. The young Hirohito climbed up the tower with his guards, trembling hands with his hands raised his telescope. He didn't dare to look at it, but he knew that if he wanted to become a real emperor, he had to face it. But when the lenses were projected to the distance to bring the city closer, there were endless desolation and numb national cheeks. Behind Hirohito's dull back were the figures of tens of millions of Japanese nationals, hundreds of thousands of casualties, a total of 30 billion US dollars in economic destruction, and... massacres and turmoil!

The end of the world... The young Hirohito's mouth twitched. The achievements since the Meiji Restoration were almost completely destroyed. The dream of leaving Asia and entering Europe to strengthen the army was facing premature death. The soldiers and the army who were ready to die were anxious and took up weapons to massacre the North Koreans and Party members who had nothing to do with it. The Meiji spirit failed in the war, and the Mi turmoil and earthquake finally changed completely. Only mania, anxiety and the fantasy that allowed Japan to recover quickly.

"Your Highness of the Crown Prince." Nagata Tetsuyama walked behind Hirohito with a telegram. The whole of Japan fantasized about the young back leading the country out of the shackles, but this earthquake was really not the time. He lowered his head and handed the telegram respectfully to the guards: "It was a telegram sent by His Excellency Anzhen, Minister in Singapore. He reported that the Chinese fleet had arrived outside the sea of ​​Batavia and asked... Hirohito knew what Anzhen wanted to ask. The giant oil field in Sumatra... It was almost enough to hold it in his hand! But it was destroyed by the earthquake!

Hirohito returned the telescope to the guards. The sharp-eyed Nagata Tetsuyama saw that his hands were white in his cuffs. It seemed that there was no blood at all. Hirohito took a deep breath and raised his last fantasy: "Nagata, you are the most outstanding officer of the empire. Please tell me, Nanyang... I am very sad, Prince." Nagata Tetsuyama lowered his head and looked serious: "The situation is very bad. The most important thing now is to appease the people, stabilize the order as soon as possible, and prevent post-disaster riots. We should also speed up immigration to colonial islands such as Guinea, especially those families with the worst disasters. You should give blessings to send them to the New World to start a new life, so that they will be grateful to you and the empire. As for the rest, our country has no energy anymore. Not only should we not intervene, but we should also send foreign ministers to China immediately... North Korea must not be in turmoil!"

Hirohito had infinite fantasy of taking over Nanyang and building a big Japanese empire, but the reality was like a basin of ice water pouring directly onto Japan's head. After a while, he looked at him. He took a deep breath and made up his mind: "Please Foreign Minister Ijiyuan Hiroki go to China immediately on behalf of my father, and you can go together. Please tell me to Your Excellency Yang Qiu that I think the Sumatra oilfield belongs to our Asia property, so please keep it as much as possible. In addition! Please tell General Fukuda Shotaro to immediately implement military control over the whole country for peace of the empire. Severely punish those who riots and robbery!"

"Hi!"

Nagata Tetsuyama focused on the key points, and even felt a little happy in his heart. From the decision to support China in obtaining Sumatra oil fields for stability in North Korea and to gain buffer time for the empire, it can be seen that Prince Hirohito has finally grown up.

When Ijiyuan Yoshikichi and Nagata Tetsuyama rushed to Nanjing as fast as possible on a naval cruiser, Bernard also had a split headache. He saw that he would step down in a few months and return to the UK to enjoy his life, and then serve as an expert on Asia in the Congress, but he encountered this unlucky thing at the last moment.

After pouring himself a cup of milk tea, he raised his eyelids and asked his assistant: "Is the United States really indifferent?"

The assistant said: "Yes, Your Excellency Ambassador. The U.S. ambassador told me that he does not want to see turmoil in the South China Sea, but he feels that governments should not interfere in normal trading and business activities among the people, but should let merchants negotiate on their own."

"Damn it's open to the door!" Bernard cursed in a daze, wondering why the United States was not interested in such a large oil field. The assistant answered his doubts: "It's obvious that they were bribed... The Chinese sold the 5 million tons of refinery project in the Beihai to them."

What else can I say about an oil refinery that handles 5 million tons per year? The damn American nouveau riche obviously compromised and chose the latter in front of the oil field and the 500 million population market. Bernard picked up the teacup and continued to ask: "That method... forget it. I really shouldn't ask their opinions. What about Japan? How serious is the earthquake?"

The assistant spread his hands and shook his head: "Sorry, the communication to Japan has been completely interrupted, and there is no detailed report of the loss. Major Ute said that he had tried to enter the Uraga waterway to check the situation, but was stopped by the Japanese Navy. Obviously... Japan does not want us and other countries to enter the chaotic area now. But from these abnormal signs, I think the situation may be worse than we thought."

Bernard sighed again. The Japanese earthquake is beneficial, which can force Japan to give up its peeping of the South China Sea, but the disadvantage is that the last tacit understanding between Britain and Japan is gone. If Japan suffers too much, it will definitely give up all strategies and shrink significantly. If it wants to use the Japanese Navy to threaten the Chinese Navy and ultimately force them to give up the oil field, it will not be possible.

The US brokers were not interested, Japan was powerless, France... might support Chinese weapons and hope that China and Britain would start war. Now the only allies in Southeast Asia are the Netherlands, but... he has a headache when he thinks of the broken ships of the Dutch Navy.

Why is Yang Qiu so lucky every time? Is the British Empire really isolated by the world? "I need to make a comprehensive judgment to find out Japan's losses as soon as possible." Bernard cursed himself a few times before he waved his hand, but the door was pushed open before his assistant left the office.

"Your Excellency, you should take a look!"

The military officer placed the newly published Nanjing Daily on the table: "This is a newly published newspaper, and the situation in Japan...maybe it's a bad one!"

Bernard quickly opened the newspaper. Although the square words on it looked like a heavenly book to him, the pictures could not help but breathe a few breaths! Charred houses, piles of corpses, slaughtered mobs, and... a city with no appearance at all!

"This is?"

The military officer pointed to the newspaper title and said two words with certainty: "Tokyo!"
