Chapter 556: Vomiting Blood

The Japanese government is a man of action. It decided to cause trouble for East Africa and prepared to start taking action. However, considering the gap between the two countries, it had to use a soft knife to force East Africa to compromise.

East African Embassy in Edo.

"Minister Card, from now on, on behalf of the government of the Empire of Japan, I solemnly protest against your country's occupation of our southern territory. Your actions constitute an illegal occupation of the territory of the Empire of Japan, a serious violation of international morality, and are condemned by the international community."

Kade was not afraid at all: "Haha, you can protest if you like, but I think your Japanese government is overreacting. After all, the South Ryukyu Islands are a transaction between us and the Far East Empire. What does it have to do with your tiny countries?"

Kade emphasized the tiny country. Why did they mention the Great Japanese Empire in front of him? How big is it? Tsarist Russia, America, East Africa, with such large territories, none of them claimed to be big. Instead, these small countries insisted on adding the word "big" to save face, which only made people laugh.

Kade's two or three sentences made the Japanese diplomat angry to death, which made him believe what Ohara Masaru said before even more. But he was used to it. White people have always been arrogant, otherwise Japan would not have been so arrogant to do something like "leaving Asia and joining Europe". In fact, they envied this feeling and wished they could replace it.

Other white people have even more rude words! For example, the Japanese are short and are often used as a joke by white people, so the East African language humiliation is not a big deal to them.

Of course, they were only Japanese diplomats. If it were any other Japanese, they would have fought to the death with knives and cards. The Japanese are willing to fight to the death when faced with humiliation.

"Your Excellency, this is a territorial issue and we cannot take it lightly. Moreover, the entire Okinawa Islands have been our Japanese territory since ancient times..."

Before he finished speaking, Kade said, "That's perfect. The Okinawa Islands are your territory. We admit that. However, our map of East Africa only shows the Ryukyu Islands. The Ryukyu Islands have nothing to do with the Okinawa Islands, so you guys should stop making trouble."

His skill in making people angry is absolutely first-rate, pretending to be ignorant even though he knows the truth. However, diplomacy is all about talking, and sometimes being unreasonable is also a good tactic.

"You..." The Japanese diplomat almost couldn't breathe. This East African diplomat was so rude and had no cultural quality at all. He had never seen such a shameless person in all these years.

He was right. East African diplomats are really like that. Because East Africa lacks professional diplomats, East Africa's own diplomatic talents are still studying in Austria!

Suppressing his anger, the Japanese official said: "Your country has repeatedly provoked the Great Japanese Empire. Aren't you afraid of hurting the feelings of our two countries? Diplomacy is no small matter, so I can tolerate it, but if you keep making things difficult for me, don't regret it."

Kade found it interesting. He asked, "Are you threatening me?"

"Of course I dare not, but I hope you can act impartially and not delay the interests of your country. A dispute between the two countries will not benefit anyone, but will benefit a third party."

After hearing what the Japanese official said, Kade gave up the intention of teasing him any further, because this man was stubborn and there was no point in teasing him, so he became serious, a completely different person from before, and really looked like a diplomat.

"You said you want me to be fair. Well, let's talk it over and see who is in the wrong. How about that?"

"That's great, of course. If we are not right, then the affairs of the Xiandao Islands and Japan... I will have nothing to do with them anymore!"

The Japanese were playing a trick here. They said "I" instead of the Japanese government. If he really fell for the trick of East Africa because of his inappropriate words and deeds, he would be the sinner of Japan. But it would be different if he used "I". He could also take the responsibility alone. At worst, he could commit suicide by disembowelment to show his filial piety to the Emperor of Japan and gain a clear reputation.

Kade just heard the unspoken words "Japanese government". It seems that this little Japanese has no sincerity. However, Kade doesn't mind talking to him. It doesn't matter if they can't reach an agreement.

"You said that the South Ryukyu Islands are your territory. What evidence do you have?"

"Your Excellency, the Ryukyu Islands have been the territory of our Great Japanese Empire since ancient times. This is well documented. They also used to pay tribute to our country, as evidenced by the letters from the empire."

"Then bring me the letter of credence?"

"This..." The Japanese official realized that he might not have checked the calendar when he went out today, which led to him encountering this unlucky star, Kade. How could he be so unlucky? If he had known earlier, he would have let his colleagues do this job.

Putting aside the question of whether the letter of credence from the Ryukyu Kingdom existed or not, he was sure that if he asked for the letter of credence, this Kade would dare to destroy the evidence in front of him. Based on his previous contacts, this German was a reckless man and would most likely do such a thing.

At the same time, he also despised the Germans in his heart. They were indeed uncivilized and only became powerful countries because of luck. As for East Africa, they were barbarians and were in Africa, which made him even more disgusted.

Europe is Europe, but it is also divided into different classes within Europe, and countries despise each other. For example, France is the most powerful in the cultural field. In the past, France was also powerful in military, but in the eyes of France, Prussia was a barbarian. And because of its cultural discourse power, whoever France says is a barbarian is naturally a barbarian.

In fact, the Prussian barbarians are relatively good. Tsarist Russia was simply expelled from the continent by the European Union. The current group of pirates in Northern Europe, including England, are also in this group. Anyway, Europe also despises each other. France seems to be impeccable, but there are other countries that are trying to provoke the French by belittling Napoleon's bloodline.

In the future, the United States may turn around and use rhetoric such as "the last man in France" to humiliate France. The United States is taking the lead in doing this, and the reason why the United States belittles France is nothing more than a struggle for cultural discourse power.

Nowadays, France is the cultural leader. They set the standards for art, but in an age where the strong prey on the weak, cultural weapons are not so useful.

Japanese officials now agree with the French judgment on Germany. In fact, Germany was implicated in East Africa, but East Africans are all Germans, and Germany is the representative of the current German state, so it was affected.

"Haha, you can't produce it! Let's not talk about whether the letter of credence was forged by you. We also have it. The Far Eastern Empire has many copies of the letter of credence from the Ryukyu Kingdom, and it has been a fact for thousands of years. There is an old saying in the Far Eastern Empire, called covering one's ears and stealing the bell. The behavior of your Japanese government is just like that. What's more, the most shameless thing is that you have already destroyed the other country, and you still have the nerve to bring up the letter of credence. I have never seen such a shameless, morally corrupt country that repays evil with kindness. We in East Africa are ashamed to associate with such a country. This will make us a laughing stock in the international community..."

"You, you...Puff..." The Japanese diplomat was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted after being attacked by words.
