"Hey!"

Jiang Yifan's sleepy voice came from the phone.

"Didn't you hear the sirens?

Why don't you call and ask what's going on?"

Sato Ichiro asked angrily into the phone.

"Report to the Commander!

I was afraid that if something happened, I would be suspected, so I didn’t dare to ask! "

Jiang Yifan answered the phone, standing at attention.

When Sato Ichiro heard this, he realized that this was indeed true. It was true that knowing too much was not good.

Such a smart young man was forced to the point where he did not seek to make any achievements but only to avoid mistakes. This is really tragic for the Empire of Japan!

But sometimes, he could only turn a blind eye because of the mystery of Shinichi Shimahashi. If there was a problem with his identity, he could not bear the responsibility.

"Gather all Japanese police officers immediately and prepare to cooperate in a major operation."

Sato ordered into the phone.

"Hayi!"

After hearing Jiang Yifan's answer, Sato Ichiro put down the phone.

At around five o'clock in the morning, the Japanese Marine Corps sent people to the three ships floating on the Huangpu River in Britain, the United States and France to persuade them to surrender.

Without saying a word, the American ships immediately raised their hands in surrender and raised the white flag.

The British and French ships expressed solemn protest.

After the Japanese who were trying to persuade them to surrender left, the British and French ships discovered that they had been surrounded from front and back.

Immediately afterwards, the battle began.

Being attacked from both sides, and with the help of the howitzers on the shore, the British and French ships were quickly sunk, and all the soldiers on board were killed.

Upon hearing the sound of artillery fire from the Huangpu River, the French Concession, the International Settlement, and even the entire Shanghai, were thrown into chaos.

But due to the city-wide martial law, everyone can only stay in a certain range and live in fear.

In particular, the International Settlement and the French Concession were surrounded by the Japanese Expeditionary Force.

It was no longer possible to go out and rescue their ships.

Afterwards, Ichiro Sato, Keiko Tanaka, Ryosuke Hihara, Li Qun, and Chaoyang Tokita, followed Major General Tanino, and first arrived at the gate of the International Settlement. Jiang Yifan had already led a hundred Japanese patrolmen and a dozen members of the Special High Section to meet them at the gate.

Afterwards, the General Manager of the International Settlement, Evan, the House Master Adams, and the Consul Richard, led all the British and American police officers to the gate.

"Excuse me, Chief Shimahashi, what is going on here?"

CEO Evan frowned and looked at Jiang Yifan with confusion. He really couldn't understand why things turned out like this.

Jiang Yifan spread his hands helplessly, smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Evan, I'm just a person who follows orders. I can only do what the higher-ups tell me to do."

There was a hint of helplessness and grievance in his tone.

After hearing what Jiang Yifan said, Director Evan could not help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, but he still suppressed his emotions and asked calmly:

"Then who gave you the order? Didn't he know what the consequences would be?"

Jiang Yifan lowered his head and remained silent, seeming a little embarrassed. After a while, he slowly raised his head, his eyes flickering.

"This... I really can't say. Director Evan, you also know that the officialdom is like a battlefield. Many things are beyond the control of small characters like us."

Director Evan snorted coldly and thought to himself, "What a good one that can't be told! It seems there must be some unspeakable secret here."

He stared at Jiang Yifan, trying to find some clues from his expression.

However, Jiang Yifan remained calm throughout, and no one could detect any flaws.

But he thought to himself what a fool!

Haven't Britain and the United States sent any intelligence to these overseas colonial lords yet?

"Who is this?"

Major General Tanino looked at Jiang Yifan and asked.

"Reporting to the Major General! I am! The Deputy Section Chief and Operations Captain of the Shanghai Special High Section, Director of the Shanghai Commercial Control Bureau, Shinichi Shimahashi!"

Jiang Yifan looked at Major General Tanino, took a step forward, stood at attention, bowed and answered.

"Yoshi! I finally meet you, the underground emperor of Shanghai - Shinichi Shimabashi! Why didn't you go to the aircraft maintenance factory?"

Major General Tanino looked at Jiang Yifan again and asked.

"Report to the Major General! I have been grounded by the Section Chief! I am not allowed to leave the Business Control Bureau!"

Jiang Yifan answered again.

"Oh? Grounded?"

Major General Tanino looked at Ichiro Sato and Keiko Tanaka.

Ichiro Sato could only look at Keiko Tanaka.

"Report to Major General Taneno, this is a work requirement.

And to further prove Shimahashi Shinichi's innocence!" Tanaka Keiko answered truthfully.

"So now, is Shinichi Shimahashi innocent?" Major General Tanino asked again.

Because the miraculous story about Shinichi Shimabashi is widely circulated among the Japanese and there are many different opinions, Major General Tanino also wanted to know more about it, so he showed more concern and asked a question.

"Through this incident, it can be proved that he is innocent!"

Faced with such a tense moment, Keiko Tanaka could only answer truthfully.

"Yoshi! Young and promising! The young are to be feared!"

After hearing what Tanaka Keiko said, Major General Tanino patted Jiang Yifan on the shoulder with satisfaction and said:

"Tell them! The Empire of Japan has declared war on Britain and the United States without declaration, and demands that they lay down their arms and surrender immediately.

Otherwise, we'll all be dead!"

"Hayi!"

Jiang Yifan stood at attention and bowed to Major General Tanino and replied.

Then he translated Major General Tanino's words into English and gave them to General Manager Evan.

General Manager Evan, House Manager Adams, and Consul Richard were all shocked when they heard this!

"You are telling them not to count on the gunboats of the United States, Britain and France on the Huangpu River. The American ships have already raised the white flag and surrendered. The British and French ships refused to surrender and have been sunk by our ships and artillery.

Their only way out now is to surrender, or they will die!"

Major General Tanino looked at Jiang Yifan again and gave the order.

"Hayi!"

Jiang Yifan turned around and looked at General Manager Evan again, and translated Major General Tanino's words.

Hearing this, General Manager Evan, House Chief Adams, Consul Richard, and Consul Sarabin looked at each other.

After discussing it together, they said to Jiang Yifan:

"Director Shimahashi, this happened suddenly, we need to consult with the country!"

Please, Major General Tanino, give us some time.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yifan turned around and looked at Major General Taniya and translated General Manager Evan's words again.

"No! Not even for a minute!

You must surrender immediately, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"

Major General Tanino looked at Jiang Yifan and gave the order.

"Hayi!"

Jiang Yifan took the order, stood at attention and bowed again to Major General Tanino.

Then, Jiang Yifan once again truthfully translated Major General Tanino's order to General Manager Evan.

So, General Manager Evan, Housekeeper Adams, Consul Richard, and Consul Sarabin met again.

"To tell you the truth, last night, Japan launched a surprise attack on our Agate Port in the United States, and the entire Agate Port fleet was wiped out.

They have launched an undeclared war, and we are all caught off guard. We have no choice but to surrender or die!"

Consul Sarabin looked at General Manager Evan, Head of House Adams, and Consul Richard and advised truthfully.

"What about our goods and property?" asked General Manager Evan anxiously.
