Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Shinsuke Hashimoto had been waiting anxiously in the base for more than two hours. As time passed, he became more and more irritated.

Finally, he saw the base commander Lin Jiwen walking in from outside.

Lin Jiwen's face was expressionless, as if covered by a layer of frost. When his eyes fell on Hashimoto Shinsuke, the cold breath was like a cold wind blowing in his face.

Seeing this, Hashimoto Shinsuke's heart tightened, but he still stepped forward with all his strength and said respectfully, "Commander Lin, I have something important to report to you."

However, Lin Jiwen did not respond to his words. He just continued to stare at him with his cold eyes. After a long while, he slowly asked, "What are you doing here?"

Shinsuke Hashimoto bowed and held up a notebook in both hands.

"Commander, I am submitting a letter of protest on behalf of Mayor Matsui, requesting that you immediately..."

Lin Jiwen interrupted him without any hesitation.

"You have no right to protest this matter! Today, our Haizhou Ambassador will submit a note to your Ministry of Foreign Affairs! If there is nothing else, you can go back!"

Shinsuke Hashimoto's body froze there, his face flushed red, his hands trembling.

Lin Jiwen sat in the office chair and frowned when he saw that Hashimoto Shinsuke had no reaction.

"If you have nothing else to do, you can leave. Do you want me to ask someone to ask you to leave?"

After that, he shouted impatiently,

"Somebody come!"

A Marine Corps officer came in, and Lin Jiwen gestured to see him off.

The officer dragged Hashimoto Shinsuke out of the office without any courtesy!

12 noon,

The Yokosuka base of Kaishu Province suddenly issued an official announcement.

The Haizhou Navy will hold a live-fire exercise of the navy and air force in Tokyo Bay from October 10 to October 22. Participating in the exercise are the "Qi Jiguang!" aircraft carrier battle group, the "Guiying!" aircraft carrier battle group, and the "Huo Qubing!" aircraft carrier battle group!

During the exercise, an air ban and a sea ban will be implemented in Tokyo Bay. Any foreign military or civilian aircraft or ships will not be allowed to appear in the airspace and waters of Tokyo Bay, otherwise the Haizhou Navy will not guarantee their safety!

Just half an hour after the announcement,

It was a gloomy afternoon in Tokyo, and the plum rains were lingering. In front of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, two black SUVs slowly stopped, with the golden dragon swallowing the ball flag of Haizhou hanging on the front of the cars!

Song Taiqing, the ambassador of Haizhou State to Japan, wearing a dark gray coat and holding a diplomatic box with the national emblem printed on it, walked into the solemn and dignified hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs along the water marks under the guidance of the Japanese protocol officer.

Under the chandelier, the red light of the wooden door and the Japanese flags on both sides of the corridor complement each other, and the air is filled with tense silence.

When we arrived at the reception room, Japanese Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Mamoru and Vice Foreign Minister Waseda Masao were already waiting with several diplomats. Their faces were livid and their eyes seemed to be flashing with anger!

Song Taiqing nodded slightly, shook hands with the other party with standard diplomatic etiquette, and then took out the diplomatic note with a gold-plated frame from the lacquered wooden box and handed it over solemnly: "This is the official opinion of our government on the recent unstable affairs in Yokosuka. I urge you to take it seriously."

The gilded national emblem on the cover of the note reflected a cold luster under the fluorescent light.

Shigemitsu Aoki took the document and quickly glanced at the contents of the cover page. His eyes behind the glasses flashed with violent fluctuations, and his face suddenly turned pale.

After both parties sat down,

Shigemitsu Aoi said angrily,

"Mr. Ambassador, you are trampling on Japan's territorial sovereignty and integrity!"

The main contents of the note submitted by Haizhou State include:

1. The mayor of Yokosuka personally apologized to the commander of the Yokosuka base of Kaishu Province and promised that local civilians would no longer harass the base in the future!

2. From November 11 this year, Japan must withdraw all Self-Defense Forces stationed in Yokosuka City!

3. Starting from January 1957, 1, Yokosuka will establish the Yokosuka Special Autonomous Region, which is within 1 kilometers around the Yokosuka Naval Base. The chief administrative officer of the autonomous region will be dispatched by Kaishu State!

4. The airspace of the entire Japanese territory must be opened to Haizhou fighter jets without restrictions!

Song Taiqing straightened his back, speaking in a steady but sharp tone: "Our country's position has been clearly stated in the note. We look forward to your constructive response to maintain peace and stability in the region. Otherwise, we, the Hai side, will take necessary actions to defend our legitimate rights and interests!"

The sound of rain outside the window gradually intensified, adding a bit of solemnity to this brief but meaningful diplomatic event. Before the matcha brought by the protocol officer had cooled down, Song Taiqing stood up and said goodbye!

The sound of the office's mahogany door closing heavily caused the pen on the desk to tremble slightly.

Shigemitsu Aoi pinched the diplomatic note between his skinny fingers, veins bulged along his neck, and his pupils behind his lenses almost shrank into needle points. He could no longer control his emotions!

"Baga!" He suddenly threw the document against the wall, the gold-plated national emblem was thrown askew, and the edge of the paper made a harsh friction sound on the wall. His old body rose and fell violently, and the medals on his chest made a tiny sound with his panting, just like the shaking chain around the neck of a trapped beast.

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor immediately!" He suddenly overturned the teacup beside him, and the matcha spread dark brown stains on the Persian carpet. "Prepare a counter-statement. This provocation must..." Before he finished speaking, his fist slammed heavily on the walnut table, shaking the wolf-hair brush in the pen holder. "We will never tolerate Haizhou trampling on the dignity of the empire!"

The moment the secretary pushed the door open, he saw Shigemitsu loosening his tie. The diplomat, who was always known for his elegance, had veins throbbing at the temples, his neck was swollen to the color of liver, and his glasses were covered with a layer of white mist due to excessive anger.

There was a sudden whistling sound outside the window.

The sky above Tokyo,

A formation of thirty Haizhou fighter planes flew by at a low altitude of 1000 meters.

The citizens of Tokyo seemed to have returned to the era of the great bombing in 45, and their faces were pale with fear!

Pedestrians in the Ginza business district covered their heads and dodged, and goods in the windows fell under the impact of the air wave; in the square in front of the Capitol, street police were frantically maintaining order, and some congressmen poured out of the meeting room, looking at the sky with expressions of shock and anger!

Shigemitsu Aoi rushed to the rooftop terrace of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with a pale face, holding the railing tightly with both hands.

He watched the Haizhou fighter plane arrogantly perform a rolling maneuver, and the contrails of the fuselage left three glaring white lines in the blue sky, like a mark of humiliation branded over the sky of Tokyo. "This is almost an act of war!" He trembled all over and screamed at the secretary accompanying him, the voice emitting from his throat distorted by anger, "Contact the representative to the United Nations immediately, we will protest at the General Assembly!"

At this moment, the fighter plane formation suddenly pulled up, leaving a deafening sonic boom in the sky, and the whole city trembled as if it was hit by a heavy hammer. As the roar of the engines faded away, only the frightened crowd and the messy streets were left on the streets of Tokyo, indicating the huge impact brought by this show of force.
