Chapter 555 Humiliation
"Everyone, now that we have found you all, you can go back to Japan!"
On the beach of the Southern Ryukyu Islands, more than 130 Japanese expatriates identified by East Africa were gathered together by the East African Army. The East African Army proudly announced how to deal with these Japanese, making the arrogance of Western countries appear. Incisively and vividly.
"Sir! We are good people!"
"It doesn't matter whether you are a good citizen or a bad citizen. This is the resolution of the East African government. If you don't accept it, then go feed the fish in the sea!"
The words of the East African Army made the faces of the Japanese expatriates turn purple with anger.
"Bagayalu, you're going too far to bully someone..." A Japanese man dressed as a samurai made a move to pull out the samurai sword on his waist.
"boom."
After a gunshot, all the Japanese became honest.
"Haha, I want to see who has such a strong head, and I want to test whether our guns are fast enough."
Obara Masaru, who serves as the intelligence chief in the Southern Ryukyu Islands, cursed "idiot" secretly and stepped forward with a shrunken smile that was uglier than crying.
"I wonder what your name is?"
"Christine."
"Sir Christine, we have lived here for a long time. You can't drive us back just because we are Japanese, right? You are being unreasonable! Besides, there are Qing people on the island, why don't you drive us away? This It's a different treatment." Obara challenged.
"Well, who are you?"
"I am Masaru Ohara, a businessman from the Japanese Empire."
"Can you also speak Chinese?"
"As a businessman, it is normal to be able to speak multiple languages. Since most of the people traveling to and from the Sakishima Islands are Chinese businessmen, it is normal to be able to speak some Chinese."
"Well, I can speak Hokkien, and it seems that I am really good at running a business. I should make a lot of money, right?"
Although he said this, the East African officer Christine had actually judged Obara Masaru as a criminal who sold stolen goods to pirates. Of course, this is definitely an illegal act in East Africa, but as for Ryukyu, that needs to be confirmed.
"Haha, how is this possible? There is no big business on the Sakishima Islands, so we usually only have enough food and clothing."
Hearing the word Sakishima Islands again, East African officer Christine's voice suddenly became much louder: "Well, the Sakishima Islands are the Southern Ryukyu Islands! You'd better pay attention, this is our official name in East Africa call."
This made Xiao Yuanzheng itching with hatred, thinking that it was better not for this Christine to fall into his hands, otherwise he would definitely let him know what it means to be alive than to be dead.
But he still said with a fake smile: "Okay, the Southern Ryukyu Islands are the Southern Ryukyu Islands."
The situation is stronger than the person, so you should follow your heart.
Christine: "You just asked why the Japanese are treated differently. I can give you a good answer to this question, because this is originally the territory of the Far Eastern Empire, so naturally we don't need to expel these locals."
Christine's words made Obaramasa's eyes darken. This sentence clarified the relationship between the Southern Ryukyu Islands and Japan. Of course, it could also be regarded as East Africa denying Japan's ownership of the so-called Sakishima Islands. In addition, East Africa had previously denied Japan's ownership of the Sakishima Islands. The humiliation and contempt made Xiao Yuanzheng feel a deep sense of humiliation.
"Your Excellency, the Southern Ryukyu Islands were originally the territory of the Ryukyu Kingdom. How can they be regarded as the territory of the Far Eastern Empire? These are two different things."
"Where are the people from the Ryukyu Kingdom? I heard that the Ryukyu Kingdom seems to have been destroyed by your government! Moreover, the Ryukyu Kingdom is also a tributary of the Far Eastern Empire, so it is naturally the territory of the Far Eastern Empire."
"Even assuming that the Sakishima Islands are the territory of the Far Eastern Empire, what does that have to do with your country?" Obara asked, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Of course it is related, because the Far Eastern Empire has transferred the management of the Southern Ryukyu Islands to East Africa, so now the jurisdiction of the Southern Ryukyu Islands is in the hands of East Africa."
OK! Christine's explanation made Obara even more angry. This was not a transfer of management rights. It was clearly due to coercion and inducement from East Africa that the Far Eastern Empire was forced to hand over the Southern Ryukyu Islands to East Africa as a colony.
A good move will divert trouble to the east, Obara thought in his mind, but this also made him feel even more unbalanced, because last year Japan and the Far Eastern Empire proposed the dichotomy of the Ryukyu Islands, but the Far Eastern Empire did not accept it.
Obara admitted that Japan has not digested the central and northern part of the Ryukyu Islands. The so-called dichotomy is just a delaying strategy. As a result, now that East Africa has taken over the southern Ryukyu Islands, it will be difficult for Japan to pay attention to the southern Ryukyu Islands.
Although East Africa is not a European country, it is still a country founded by the Germans. He knows the virtues of these Westerners very well.
No one would be willing to accept that the fat on their lips was suddenly snatched away by someone who was still stronger than themselves. In fact, the Far Eastern Empire was also very powerful, but the Japanese were not afraid because they knew the Far East too well.
But East Africa is different. East Africa is also an emerging country, and has a strong navy. It is also a German country and has close relations with Germany and Austria-Hungary. It is not easy to mess with in any way. East Africa is indeed not easy to mess with in Africa, but in Africa Overseas is less interesting, and among all continents, Africa's strength is only one level higher than the uninhabited Oceania and the penguin Antarctica.
Although Africa is weak, it does not mean that East Africa is weak. However, the overall strength of Africa is the upper limit of East Africa, and the relationship between the two sides is inclusive and included.
"Very well, Mr. Christine, I think we will meet again soon!" Xiao Yuanzheng said.
Obaramasa believed that the empire would not abandon the Southern Ryukyu Islands, and East Africa was so far away from the Southern Ryukyu Islands, so the Japanese government still had room for maneuver, so he believed that it would not be long before he could come back.
"Oh, really! But I hope you can return to Japan safely first." Christine said calmly.
"Haha, let me lend you some good words."
…
Obara did not return to Japan, but went to the Northern Ryukyu Islands, reported to the Okinawa Prefectural Government the fact that East Africa had invaded the Southern Ryukyu Islands, and even more elaborately described East Africa's humiliation of the "big" Japanese Empire.
This information was quickly transmitted back to Japan, arousing the indignation of the Japanese government. The Japanese pirate chief was furious, and the military indignantly demanded that East Africa be expelled by force. Some people objected, saying that Japan should not offend Western countries now and should be patient for now. Find the place again later.
The two sides continued to argue, and finally decided to adopt the old method, protesting to the East African government first, and at the same time the navy blocked the Southern Ryukyu Islands, forcing the East Africans to submit and voluntarily evacuate the Southern Ryukyu Islands without causing heavy casualties.
As for starting a war with East Africa, or causing heavy casualties, this is something that Japan currently does not dare to do, because Japan is really weak now and cannot even get the steel to build warships. How can it compete with East Africa, which is among the top ten naval powers in the world? compete.
As for the weak defeating the strong, the possibility is too small. At present, the Japanese Navy has finally managed to save a little wealth, but it does not dare to gamble.
However, the navy is weak and can use civilian ships to fight against porcelain. Japan's civilian shipbuilding industry is relatively prosperous. The quality of large and small ships cannot be guaranteed, but the quantity is sufficient. If there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant. Of course, Japan's goal is Interfering with East Africa's rule over the Southern Ryukyu Islands and adding colonial costs to them. It would be an illusion to kill the East African navy.
