Jia Xiaolin's men, along with a few Green Gang disciples, rushed to the front and started attacking the British fiercely.

At this moment, Jiang Yifan's words suddenly rang in Jia Xiaolin's ears:

Make things worse!

Jia Xiaolin was also furious. He gritted his teeth, pulled out his pistol, and shot a British man who was throwing stones at the Japanese.

"boom!"

The Englishman fell to the ground.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

In the chaos, three grenades were suddenly thrown out from behind the British, emitting white smoke and bouncing and rolling on the ground.

The Japanese outside the International Settlement suddenly scattered in all directions.

"Boom boom boom!"

Three violent explosions instantly rang out among the Japanese crowd! More than a dozen Japanese fell in a pool of blood.

Seeing this, Jia Xiaolin's Green Gang disciples drew their pistols and started shooting at the British in the International Settlement without hesitation.

Soon, Captain Kuikei from the Japanese side and Mayor Adams from the International Settlement rushed in with their troops, rushed to the front of the demonstration and blocked the demonstration behind them.

"Captain Kuchii! You were the ones who fired the first shot. On behalf of the British side, I strongly protest against you!" Room Chief Adams held a gun in his hand, his eyes blazing with fire, glaring at Kuchii Rikuto and roared loudly.

"Captain Kuikei, they were the first to throw stones, eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and also the first to shoot and kill the merchants of the Great Japanese Empire." Jia Xiaolin had no idea what Adams was mumbling, so he quickly poured a basin of dirty water on the British and bit back.

Damn it, does it matter who fired the first shot? Anyway, they are going to make things worse, so why not add more energy and fuel to the fire, so that the anger of both sides will grow even stronger and the storm will come sooner!

Maybe, after this incident, my dream will come true?

"Baka! You British people have lost your conscience. Order, aim at the British, prepare..."

Kuikei Rikuto could not understand what Chief Adams was saying, and he could only understand half of Jia Xiaolin's words. When he saw the Japanese lying in a pool of blood, he gave orders furiously.

But just when Hisaichi Rikuto was about to shout "shoot", General Manager Evan, with an interpreter, came to the front regardless of his own safety.

Seeing this, the translator trembled and hid behind Director Evan.

At this time, it doesn’t matter whether you save face or not. The most important thing is to save your life.

"Captain Kuikei! Calm down! Calm down! Our British Foreign Office is in urgent consultation with your Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Now we all have an obligation to make efforts for peace and justice in Shanghai. So, I hope that before the negotiations are concluded, we will exercise restraint as much as possible and not let the situation escalate."

President Evan looked at Kuikei Rikuto and said.

After the translator translated the words into Japanese, Kuikei Rikuto frowned and said unreasonably:

"I will give you one day to hand over the murderer to the Japanese Military Police Headquarters. Otherwise, I will lead my troops to razed the International Settlement."

Adams, the roommaster, was furious at the back: "Captain Kuchii! Are you reasonable? Why should we hand over the murderer to you? Haven't you killed any British people? This is outrageous!"

However, Kuchii Rikuto ignored Adams and did not understand what he was saying. When the translator translated his words into Japanese, Kuchii Rikuto pointed his gun at Adams and said angrily:

"Baga! Because you are the murderers! Johnson's arms trafficking is a disguised support for China and opposition to the Empire of Japan. You should know better than us where Johnson's guns and ammunition went. Don't treat the Empire of Japan as a fool. It's ridiculous to suspect that the Empire of Japan took away the arms. We have tolerated you for a long time, but our tolerance is limited."

When Adams saw Jiuchi's bloodshot eyes, his heart skipped a beat, but he still said righteously:

"Captain Kuchii! You are being unreasonable and making trouble. Johnson's arms business is the freedom of the British. Just because you occupied China, does the whole world not want to do business with China? Besides, it was clearly your Captain Daoqiao who took advantage of Johnson's imprisonment to transfer all of Johnson's guns, ammunition, and opium. This is something that everyone can figure out with their toes. Not only do you not admit it, but you also blame others. Isn't this unreasonable? Your patience is limited. Is our patience unlimited?"

After saying that, Head Adams pointed his gun at Kuikei Rikuto without showing any weakness.

The Japanese military police behind Hisaichi, Jia Xiaolin's Green Gang disciples, and the British patrolman all loaded their guns at the same time and aimed at each other. A face-to-face gun battle was imminent and ready to break out.

There was silence all around, as if everyone was waiting for the first gunshot.

Just then, two cars stopped by the roadside at an inopportune time.

The Japanese Consul Tokida Chaoyang and the British Consul Richard got out of the car and came between Kuikei Rikuto and Adams, the head of the house, and ordered loudly:

"Both sides retreat fifty meters! Put down your guns!"

After hearing the order, Kuchii Rikuto put away his gun and ordered:

"Everyone, put down your guns and retreat fifty meters."

When room manager Adams saw this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put away his gun, and ordered the police and the demonstrators to retreat fifty meters.

Just at this moment, ambulances from both sides rushed over and sent the injured to the hospital.

In this friction, fifteen Japanese died, ten Chinese died, and more than thirty British died in total!

Afterwards, Shi Tian Chao Yang and Richard whispered a few words, and then Shi Tian Chao Yang shouted loudly to the demonstrators:

"My fellow countrymen, the government understands your feelings and supports your demands. Your blood will not be shed in vain. Now the British side has agreed to your demands and is considering them. They have promised to give you a reply tomorrow. So we will give them another day. If they still don't give you a satisfactory answer tomorrow, then we will hold a final protest. The day after tomorrow is the final deadline!"

After saying that, Tokita Chaoyang waved to Kuikei Rikuto and Jia Xiaolin, signaling them to take their people away.

As they were talking, the British demonstration team gradually dispersed.
