Chapter 555 Humiliation
"Everyone, now that you are all caught, you can go back to Japan!"
On the beach of the South Ryukyu Islands, more than 130 Japanese expatriates identified by East Africa were gathered together by the East African Army, which proudly announced how it would deal with these Japanese, fully demonstrating the arrogance of Western countries.
"Sir! We are good citizens!"
"I don't care if you are a good citizen or a bad citizen. This is the decision of the East African government. If you don't accept it, then go feed the fish in the sea!"
The East African Army's words made the Japanese expatriates so angry that their faces turned purple.
"Bakayaro, this is too much..." A Japanese man dressed as a samurai pretended to draw the samurai sword on his waist.
"Bang."
After a gunshot, all the Japanese became quiet.
"Haha, I want to see who has the toughest head. I want to test whether our guns are fast enough."
After secretly cursing "idiot", Ohara Masaru, who served as the intelligence chief in the South Ryukyu Islands, walked forward with a shrunken smile that was uglier than crying.
"What is your name?"
"Christine."
"Sir Christian, we have lived here for a long time. You can't drive us back just because we are Japanese. This is unreasonable! Moreover, there are Qing people on the island. Why don't you drive them away? This is discriminatory treatment." Ohara Masaru said instigatively.
"Well, who are you?"
"I am Masaru Ohara, a businessman from the Japanese Empire."
"You can speak Chinese?"
"As a businessman, it is normal to know multiple languages, because most of the people who come and go in the Senkaku Islands are Chinese businessmen, so it is normal to know some Chinese."
"Well, he can speak Minnan dialect, so he seems to be good at business. He should make a lot of money, right?"
Although he said so, in fact, the East African officer Christine had already judged Obara Masaru as a criminal who sold stolen goods to pirates. Of course, this was definitely illegal in East Africa, but as for Ryukyu, that needed to be confirmed.
"Haha, how is that possible? There isn't much business in the Senkaku Islands. Usually, we can just make ends meet."
Hearing the word "Senka Islands" again, the East African officer Christine's voice suddenly rose a lot: "Well, what is the Senka Islands? It's the South Ryukyu Islands! You'd better pay attention. This is our official name in East Africa."
This made Xiao Yuan extremely angry, and he thought that it would be better if Christian did not fall into his hands, otherwise he would know what it meant to live a life more miserable than death.
But he still smiled and said, "Okay, the South Ryukyu Islands are the South Ryukyu Islands."
The situation is stronger than people, so you should follow your heart.
Christine: "You just asked why we treat the Japanese differently. I can answer this question for you. Because this place is originally the territory of the Far East Empire, we naturally don't need to drive these locals away."
Christine's words made Ohara Masaru's eyes go dark. This sentence made the relationship between the South Ryukyu Islands and Japan clear. Of course, it could also be regarded as East Africa's denial of Japan's so-called ownership of the Senkaku Islands. Coupled with East Africa's previous humiliation and contempt for Japan, this made Ohara Masaru feel deeply humiliated.
"Sir, the South Ryukyu Islands were originally the territory of the Ryukyu Kingdom. How can it be considered the territory of the Far Eastern Empire? These are two different things."
"Where are the people from the Ryukyu Kingdom? I heard that the Ryukyu Kingdom seems to have been destroyed by your government! Besides, the Ryukyu Kingdom is also a vassal state of the Far Eastern Empire, so it is naturally also the territory of the Far Eastern Empire."
"Even if we assume that the Sakishima Islands are the territory of the Far Eastern Empire, what does that have to do with your country?" Ohara asked, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Of course it is related, because the Far Eastern Empire has transferred the management rights of the South Ryukyu Islands to East Africa, so now the jurisdiction of the South Ryukyu Islands is in the hands of East Africa."
Good! After Christine's explanation, Xiao Yuanzheng became even angrier. This was not a transfer of management rights at all. It was clearly that under the coercion and inducement of East Africa, the Far Eastern Empire was forced to give the South Ryukyu Islands to East Africa as a colony.
What a good trick to divert trouble to others, Ohara Masaru thought to himself, but this also made him feel even more unbalanced, because last year Japan and the Far Eastern Empire proposed a dichotomy of the Ryukyu Islands, but the Far Eastern Empire did not accept it.
Ohara Masaru admitted that Japan had not yet digested the central and northern parts of the Ryukyu Islands. The so-called dichotomy was just a delaying tactic. As a result, now that East Africa has taken over the Southern Ryukyu Islands, it will be difficult for Japan to pay attention to the Southern Ryukyu Islands.
Although East Africa is not a European country, it is also a country established by Germans. He knows very well the morals of these Westerners.
No one would be willing to accept the fact that the fat meat at their fingertips is suddenly snatched away by someone else, especially a country stronger than themselves. In fact, the Far Eastern Empire was also very powerful, but the Japanese were not afraid because they knew the Far East too well.
But East Africa is different. It is also an emerging country with a strong navy. It is also a German country with close relations with Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. No matter how you look at it, it is not someone you can easily mess with. East Africa is indeed not easy to mess with in Africa, but it is not so easy overseas. Among all the continents, Africa's strength is only one level stronger than the uninhabited Oceania and the penguin's Antarctica.
Although Africa is weak, it does not mean that East Africa is weak. However, Africa's overall strength is the upper limit of East Africa, and the two sides are in a relationship of inclusion and being included.
"Very good, Mr. Christian, I think we will meet again soon!" said Masaru Ohara.
Ohara Masaru believed that the empire would not give up the South Ryukyu Islands, and that East Africa was so far away from the South Ryukyu Islands that the Japanese government still had room to maneuver, so he believed that he would be able to return soon.
"Oh, really! But I hope you can return to Japan safely first." Christine said indifferently.
"Haha, I'll lend you my good words."
…
Instead of returning to Japan, Ohara Masaru went to the Northern Ryukyu Islands and reported to the Okinawa Prefectural Government the fact that East Africa had invaded the Southern Ryukyu Islands, and exaggerated the humiliation of East Africa to the "great" Japanese Empire.
Soon this information was transmitted back to Japan, causing indignation among the Japanese government. The pirate chief was furious, and the military indignantly demanded that the East Africans be expelled by force. Some people opposed this, saying that Japan should not offend Western countries now, but should endure it first and get back at them later.
The two sides could not reach an agreement and finally decided to adopt the old method. They first protested to the East African government and at the same time the navy blockaded the South Ryukyu Islands. Without causing major casualties, they forced the East Africans to surrender and voluntarily evacuate the South Ryukyu Islands.
As for going to war with East Africa or causing heavy casualties, Japan dare not do this at the moment, because Japan's current strength is really not enough. It can't even get enough steel to build warships. How can it compete with East Africa, which is among the top ten naval powers in the world?
As for the weak defeating the strong, the possibility is too small. The Japanese Navy has finally accumulated some wealth and dare not gamble.
However, since the navy is weak, Japan can use civilian ships to attack them. Japan's civilian shipbuilding industry is relatively prosperous. They can produce ships of all sizes. The quality cannot be guaranteed, but if there are enough of them, even ants can kill elephants. Of course, Japan's goal is to interfere with East Africa's rule over the South Ryukyu Islands and increase their colonial costs. It is a fantasy if they really want to kill the East African navy.
