Chapter 516 Making Trouble
Hearing what Section Chief Zhang said, Takeda Taro was a little embarrassed. When people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Navy came, this guy hid nearby and didn't want to meet these people.
But his own people were captured by the 72nd Division and then escaped, so the lie was self-defeating. It was really embarrassing.
"I apologize to Section Chief Zhang for this matter. This is my dereliction of duty. Please forgive me."
This guy was straightforward. In front of so many people, he bent down 70 degrees and apologized to Section Chief Zhang, but he didn't show much sincerity.
"But our staff members are innocent. They just came out to see what was going on. So many people present heard it. It wasn't our staff members who were cursing, it was your people who were provoking. For the sake of friendship between our two countries, please don't let this matter escalate. Chief Zhang, please report this to your superiors and have our staff members sent back as soon as possible. Also, please apologize to those soldiers from the 72nd Division. They shouldn't have assaulted our diplomats for no reason."
It only took Taro Takeda two seconds to apologize, but it took him three minutes to say these words. It was obvious that the apology just now was also to get the 72nd Division to release the people.
"Then, regarding the matter in the island city, should we discuss it first? We have to deal with things one by one. If we start something else right before finishing one, it will cause chaos..."
Wen Botao said something from the side, and Section Chief Zhang also understood what was going on. Let's discuss the matter of the island city first, and then talk about your people being arrested.
"That's not possible. The person who just came out is the commissioner sent by our navy to resolve this matter. If we don't release him, we won't be able to hold a meeting to resolve the incident in the island city."
Taro Takeda's eyes rolled, and he immediately revealed the identities of those people. The navy did send special people, but they were staying upstairs at the moment. Those people were all embassy staff, and there were no navy people at all.
"If that's the case, then let's go negotiate with the 72nd Division. However, as you know, their Commander Li is very difficult to deal with, so our negotiations may not be effective. As for what to do, it depends on his preferences."
When Section Chief Zhang saw this situation, he immediately straightened his back and said, "Now that you have arrested our navy people and we have arrested your embassy people, we are not in a hurry."
"This……"
Taro Takeda also heard that the other party's threat was very strong. These people from the embassy were staff members on the surface, but in fact they were doing spies. Each of them had some important information in their hands. The people from the 72nd Division were not careful in their work, especially towards them, the Japanese. If it was a little later, they might have used torture.
In the end, neither side could convince the other and they parted ways unhappily. However, the news that the 72nd Division took away the people from the Japanese Embassy seemed to have wings and spread quickly throughout Nanjing.
"Oh, Deputy Minister Wu, I don't know what happened. It was just one of my security captains. He was driving out to do some business and was just coming back from the Japanese Embassy, but he wouldn't let him through. A conflict ensued while they were chatting. A Japanese man started scolding him. You know, he's from Northeast China, and his whole family was severely tortured by the Japanese. He couldn't stop..."
At this moment, Li Shaoyi was in his office. After receiving a call from Vice Minister Wu, he also made some explanations about this matter. Of course, whether it was true or false, probably only he himself knew.
"Stop talking nonsense. Where did this guy from Northeast China come from? Pan Feng is the captain of the security team at your office. Do you think I've never seen him before? This guy is clearly from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. How can he be from Northeast China?"
Deputy Minister Wu was so infuriated by Li Shaoyi's lies that he spit out tea all over his desk. Several secretaries nearby hurried to rescue the documents on the desk, as this concerned many important military matters outside.
"You only know one side of the story. This guy came from Northeast China later. He's a native of Northeast China. You know Northeast China has been occupied for such a long time. Who doesn't have blood debt in their family? He can't hold back when he meets the Japanese."
There is nothing to be embarrassed about Li Shaoyi. He has told lies with his eyes open many times. Let's just make a final decision on this matter.
Li Sibei covered her mouth and laughed beside her. Where was Captain Pan from? Li Sibei knew better than anyone else. He was even related to her. Of course, he was from Jiangnan.
No one in my family for five generations has ever been to the Northeast.
"Don't talk about this useless stuff. Hurry and release the person. The two countries are in a tense situation right now. What you are doing is not solving the problem for us, but exacerbating it."
Deputy Minister Wu said anxiously that when they dealt with foreigners, they naturally felt inferior to them and did not want to anger these foreigners, especially the Japanese. In the past, when they negotiated with the Japanese, they were very cautious. Although Li Shaoyi won the victory in the north, this feeling did not change much.
"Yes, yes, you are right. I will release them right away. Don't worry, they are my men who are causing trouble. I will put them in solitary confinement immediately."
Li Shaoyi agreed verbally, and after hanging up the phone, he leaned back on the sofa, lit a Shenxian cigarette for himself, and picked up the newspaper of the day, as if he had not said that just now.
Li Sibei was used to this. When a call came in, he would first check who was calling. If the caller was at the same level as Li Shaoyi, he would answer the call himself and repeat what he had just said. If the caller was not at that level, he would let Li Sibei answer the call.
The general meaning is the same. As for when to release the people, isn't it up to us to decide?
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Deputy Minister Wu called again. Six hours had passed since Li Shaoyi said he would release the person, but the Japanese Embassy had not received the person yet.
"What the hell are you doing to me? What do you want? The people from the Japanese Embassy are sitting in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs is sitting here with me."
Deputy Minister Wu was about to yell.
"How about you come sit with me?"
Li Shaoyi said cheerfully, not taking the matter to heart at all. The diplomatic pressure from the Japanese is pressure for you, but it is shit to me. Either you go to the battlefield and fight me. If you can't beat me, I don't care about your comprehensive national strength or anything like that. Anyway, you can't do anything to me now. Even if your whole country is an army, what can you do?
"I……"
Vice Minister Wu was so frustrated that he lost his temper.
