Chapter 558: Diverting Trouble
Card still listened to the advice of the East African National Defense and Security Bureau, because the reply from the mainland was to pay attention to safety. This sentence was just for his reference, and he was inclined to the judgment of the National Defense and Security Bureau.
Kade tapped the table with his hand, thought for a while, and decided that it would be better to be safe. He called his assistant and said, "Yuri, go recruit some mercenaries. We need to strengthen the security of the embassy. Remember, no locals!"
"Mr. Card, do you mean anyone except the Japanese?"
"Yes, but you have to be more strict in your selection, so that you don't collapse when you encounter a big scene. In the short term, you can give a higher salary."
"No problem, just wait for my good news!" Yuri said and went to the dock to see if there were any sailors who wanted to make extra money.
While embassy security was being strengthened in East Africa, there were people who really wanted to cause trouble for the embassies in East Africa, but they were not the Japanese government, but a group of young students.
"Mr. Matsushita, the Germans have gone too far this time. They are bullying others by taking advantage of their power. We must give them a taste of their own medicine!" Todai Honda Ye said gritting his teeth.
"Higashimoto Noboru, don't be blinded by hatred. The government will naturally come forward to solve the problems in East Africa. We are just a group of students. It is better not to cause trouble to the country, and don't make things difficult for Matsushita-kun." Member Kiji Tencho said rationally.
"Gui Er Teng Ting, you bastard, are you scared by the Germans? You are really bringing shame to our Great Japanese Empire. A true samurai should not lose his dignity and should be brave enough to sacrifice himself for the empire."
"Haha, you are such a brainless reckless man, are you planning to attack the East African embassy? If you die, then you die, but if East Africa pursues the matter later, do you know how much trouble it will cause to the empire?"
"The government is full of mediocre people. Have you forgotten that your father's position was replaced by a noble family member some time ago? These people are causing trouble to the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor. So in my opinion, they are the biggest cancer in Japan. So it is better for us, the Sangao Self-Research Society, to wake up the sleeping citizens than to rely on the government."
The two of them were at a stalemate. At this time, the president of the Edo Third High School Self-Study Club, Matsushita, slammed the table hard and said sternly, "Enough! Do you still have me as your president in your eyes? If you want to argue, go outside and don't embarrass our Edo Third High School Self-Study Club."
Seeing the president getting angry, the two stopped, looked at each other unhappily, and then said to the president: "Hey, sorry to bother you."
Matsushita looked at his younger brother's performance with satisfaction, and then he said: "The humiliation of the Germans to our Great Japanese Empire this time cannot be easily revealed. They must pay the price, especially this time it is about the ownership of the Sakima Islands!"
Panasonic's words made Dongben Ye, who advocated causing trouble in East Africa, very proud. He glanced at Gui Ertengting proudly, as if he had won.
Matsushita naturally noticed this, and he raised his lips slightly, very satisfied, and then changed the subject: "Of course, what Gui Er Teng Hall-master said also makes sense. As the saying goes, one should not meddle in politics if one is not in a position to do so. We are all middle school students, so we should naturally focus on our studies, and political matters should be left to the country."
Gui Erteng was also satisfied with what he said, but it was just repeating what the two had said before, and the problem was still not solved.
"Boss, what do you think we should do?"
Matsushita: "Of course we will participate. Whether from a national or personal perspective, I think this is an opportunity. Of course, we also need to be methodical. We can't take the lead. We should find a scapegoat."
"President, what does this mean? Who else does patriotism need a scapegoat?"
"Idiot! We are of humble status. If we take the lead, we may succeed, but who will protect us? And I understand your little thoughts, Higashi Hondano-kun. You are just after fame and fortune. This is not a shameful thing. If you can succeed in this operation, you can indeed become a respected person in Japan, but the premise is that you can bear the consequences."
After pouring himself a cup of tea, Matsushita continued, "We can give this opportunity to No. 1, but our people cannot instigate this matter. We have to let No. 2 do it. In the end, no matter who takes the lead, we have to support them. No. 1 has great benefits, but also the highest risks. No. 2 has the risk of being implicated. No. 3 can make a profit and become famous, and the government will not be able to pursue him."
…
Thus began the Edo student movement.
Led by Edo City No. 1 High School, students from more than a dozen secondary schools marched outside the East African embassies.
"Resist the invaders, get out of Japan!"
"East Africans get out!"
"Boycott..." I originally wanted to say German products, but it seems that East Africa is not Germany, and it seems that East Africa does not have any products exported to Japan.
There are many goods exported from East Africa to Japan, but ordinary people cannot access them, or do not recognize them even if they do. For example, rice is still mainly sold in bulk at this time, and you buy as much as you want by the weight. Rice shops do not write East African rice on the labels, and they sell it directly as tropical rice.
Kade looked angrily at the Edo students holding banners and protest signs outside the gate, and asked the people behind him: "What are the Japanese police doing? They just let these unruly people make trouble in the embassy area!"
The embassy district where the East African embassy is located houses not only the East African embassy, but also embassies of other countries. The Japanese government is clearly playing with fire, and if something unexpected happens, it will offend people.
More and more people gathered, and the entire street where the embassy was located began to be crowded. The big iron gate of the East African Embassy creaked due to the pressure.
"Hurry up and find someone to hold them off. Don't let them break down the gate! And the security department, if anyone breaks in, beat them up! We must stop them."
The embassies of other countries on the street seemed to be watching the show, because the banners held by the Edo students had already targeted East Africa, so they didn't want to interfere.
In a corner, people from the East African Defense Security Agency have begun to allocate operations.
"This is a good opportunity. We will go in and incite the crowd, but don't use the East African flag. Many people are here just to join in the fun. You need to arouse their emotions and then lead them to the embassies of various countries. Don't target the students. It's best to target those illiterate people who don't know the flags of various countries. Be smart and evacuate quickly if you see the situation is not good. Don't really get yourself trapped!"
Then the people from the National Defense Security Bureau struggled to squeeze into the crowd, and Carl came to an embassy. Now the whole street was crowded and chaotic. At this time, Carl found himself squeezed in front of the British Embassy, and the door of the British Embassy had been closed long ago.
It seems that there is no chance. Carl had a similar experience last time, so he seems to have some experience. He can only continue to look for the target.
"Huh?" Carl discovered that the door of the Russian Embassy was open. At this time, he also discovered his teammates, and the two looked at each other.
"It's here, everyone rush in! His Majesty the Emperor aboard!" Carl shouted.
"What?" Before the passerby knew what was going on, he was pushed forward by Carl who was mixed in the crowd. Now people were crowded together and no one knew who was pushing them.
However, with the blessing of "The Emperor is on board!", the Japanese people don't want to use their brains at all. Many people don't even know what the national flag is. After all, this era is not the future.
Under the planning of the East African National Defense Security Agency, a large number of ignorant people were pushed into the Tsarist Russian Embassy, and at this time people behind them followed in.
Anyone who has ever queued knows that people will instinctively follow the person in front of them. Coupled with the deliberate loud misleading by the East African National Defense and Security Agency, many people were led into the Tsarist Russian Embassy, which dumbfounded the Tsarist Russian staff who were watching.
But it was too late. The blind crowd didn't know what to do after entering the Tsarist Russian Embassy. Some people simply started stealing. With the leadership of these people, others became bolder and began to steal things in the Tsarist Russian Embassy.
With so many people, it was difficult for the police to find the thief, so the angry Edo people started to act recklessly in the Tsarist Russian Embassy. Someone even kicked the Tsarist Russian staff twice. This was a white man, so the Russians who took advantage of the chaos attacked him and beat him half to death.
