African Entrepreneurship Records

Chapter 572 Ceasefire Line

Blocking the Miyako Strait is not difficult for East Africa. East Africa’s expedition fleet can do it. At that time, the Miyako Strait was not a very busy route, so Japanese ships trying to pass through the Miyako Strait had to be blocked every day. Looking for trouble, many fish will slip through the East African navy's daily patrols. As for those who are caught, they can only pay a large amount of taxes to East Africa, otherwise the ship will be detained.

Under the protection and **** of the East African Navy, the construction situation of the Southern Ryukyu Islands, which was almost interrupted, has also changed greatly, especially the northernmost Miyako Island. After East Africa resumed its shipping with the Far East mainland, it began to build on this island. Its port was expanded and repaired.

This time the East African fleet will definitely not be able to float on the sea all the time, especially the three ironclad ships will definitely return to East Africa, but the gunboats and some other purpose ships will stay in the Southern Ryukyu Islands for their defense.

"Now you Japanese war criminals, we have sunk seventeen ships, and most of the remaining creatures have surrendered. The Japanese war criminals no longer have the arrogance of the past, but you can be proud enough to be defeated by our East African Navy."

Under the scorching sun, the East African Navy lectured the captured Japanese sailors that not all Japanese ships were sunk by the East African Navy. In addition, the East African Navy caught many people who fell into the water in time. These Japanese sailors are this time for East Africa. Japanese Navy disguised fishermen to attack "evidence".

The East African defenders and workers on Miyako Island also watched with interest as the navy drilled Japanese prisoners under the scorching sun.

"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. From today on, you will start building a prison. I believe you will be proud of this new job. After all, you can personally participate in the passionate cause of building your own prison."

The trainer's words are not without prejudice. Let the Japanese build their own prisons to hold themselves. However, criminals have no human rights, let alone criminals who try to attack the East African army. They are war criminals and are not welcome.

Of course, there are also practical considerations in allowing these war criminals to build prisons in East Africa. There were prisons on Miyako Island before, but they did not meet the standards of East Africa. Moreover, more than a hundred prisoners have been arrested in East Africa at once. What is left of the original Ryukyu Kingdom The small prison cannot hold so many people.

Moreover, the words of the trainers in East Africa, "Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped." It also needs to be considered. If the Japanese government does not care about their life and death, then it is really possible that they will die. It mainly depends on Japan's willingness to give chips.

However, based on East African thinking, it is estimated that only big fish like Tao Yaki Morita may be redeemed. After all, his uncle is a high-ranking official in the Japanese government, and his family still has some weight in Japanese politics.

Moreover, the behavior of having a high fever Morita is still relatively respected in Japan. As long as it is packaged, it can be turned into a "hero defending national interests" in public opinion. After all, this feat of fishing boats dealing with large warships is indeed quite shocking.

The situation of East Africa blocking the Miyako Strait was naturally quickly reported to the Japanese government by the "victimized" merchant ships and fishing boats. In fact, Ozawa Seiji had already passed the news of the East African fleet's arrival in the Miyako Strait to the Japanese government before this. But I didn’t expect that East Africa would dare to block the Miyako Strait.

So the Japanese government quickly approached the East African Legation and asked Kad: "Minister Kad, by blocking the Miyako Strait in East Africa, do you want to declare war with our Empire of Japan? The Miyako Strait is a natural sea channel and is the coastal area of ​​our country. Your country’s behavior is too overbearing on a fishing ground that has been run by its citizens for generations!” Kad: “That’s not the news I received. We have conclusive evidence that Japan used serving sailors to pretend to be fishermen to harass our merchant ships in East Africa. and robbery, we in East Africa are just retaliating with **** for tat. Your navy is doing piracy in the name of navy, and now it comes to attack you. Even if we block the Miyako Strait, it is considered easy. In my opinion, cutting off your eastern route No punishment is too much!"

"Minister Card, please don't slander me. It is impossible for the Imperial Navy to pretend to be fishermen and attack merchant ships. As for any evidence, it must be fabricated by you."

"Humph, we have both witnesses and material evidence. As for your refusal to admit it and want to deny it, we naturally have nothing to do with the shameless country. But as long as you don't apologize publicly and compensate for the losses suffered in East Africa, then don't think that our country can easily lift the blockade. .”

 Minister Kader is feeling proud now. Kader remembers the previous incident of attacking the embassy very clearly. He doesn’t want to be plotted against anyone. Now that he can embarrass the Japanese government, he feels very comfortable in his heart and feels that a great revenge has been avenged.

The Japanese diplomat said with a gloomy face: "Your country's conditions are too harsh and we will never agree to it. Moreover, the Sakishima Islands and the Miyako Strait are our country's inseparable interests. It is extremely costly for your country to consume us." It’s not cost-effective. I guarantee this is a bottomless pit for you. As long as the 30 million Japanese citizens are still alive, they will not ignore the loss of their country.”

Card: "Tsk tsk tsk, don't be so sanctimonious. Don't think that we in East Africa don't understand history. The entire Ryukyu Islands have nothing to do with Japan. Even if it is not an independent country, it is still a vassal state of the Far East Empire. You Japan was in The Han Dynasty also surrendered to the Far Eastern Empire. In this case, your so-called 30 million citizens might as well jump across the Pacific Ocean and return the land to the Far Eastern Empire."

 Mr. Card, this is sophistry, but it makes sense to a certain extent. Of course, the most important thing is that it can satirize Japan's shameless behavior.

Of course, East Africa is no less shameless. After all, the land was taken from black people and they enslaved black people. It is a typical ruthless country. However, East Africa's shamelessness can be seen and never denies it, while Japan is secretive and wants to build a memorial arch.

The Japanese diplomat was very annoyed when he heard Kad's sarcasm, but when he thought about the fact that the enemy is strong and we are weak, he could only swallow his anger and said: "Mr. Kad, what do you want from your country's conditions?"

Card: "This matter is actually very easy to talk about. Didn't you and the Far Eastern Empire create a so-called Ryukyu Islands dichotomy? Now we in East Africa have helped you implement this plan, but you Japan wants to go back on its word. I think you also Stop messing around, the two countries will use the Miyako Strait as the boundary and completely divide the Ryukyu Islands into two."

East Africa has little desire for the Northern Ryukyu Islands, so the dichotomy is acceptable. Japan has previously proposed to divide the Ryukyu Islands into two with the Far East, which shows that they can also accept this plan.

Of course, the Japanese's wolf ambitions cannot be hidden, but now East Africa doesn't care much. Without more than ten years of development, Japan will not easily start a war for the time being, so as long as the two countries temporarily reach an agreement this time, East Africa can slowly As for the future of operating the Southern Ryukyu Islands, it is nothing more than the Miyako Strait becoming a temporary ceasefire line.
