Chapter 1078： Cant get down (1/2)

In the evening, the noisy Embassy Avenue fell silent, and the parade people who realized the big things had already scattered.

The military police who came for questioning have already sealed off the scene. At the moment, the embassy area is already ”five steps one post, ten steps one post”.

The smell of gunpowder in the air and the ruined Russian-style buildings are still silently accusing everything that happened during the day.

All entertainment venues are closed, and even the people who like to watch the excitement are closed at this moment for fear of getting into trouble.

Instead, the embassies of various countries that had previously closed their doors became active. When faced with the troubled people, everyone was very scared, but after switching to the Japanese government, everyone became bolder again.

The prestige of the military police frightened the Japanese people, but it could not frighten the diplomats of various countries. Affected by traditional culture, the European world's sad thoughts are particularly strong.

Everyone is a diplomat, if you don't stand up and speak up at this time. What happened to Russian diplomats today may be replicated in themselves tomorrow.

Embassies of various countries have all resisted this bad behavior during the day, including Britain, Japan's ally.

Encountering a group of uncles of the ministerial corps who said no, no scolding, and no touch, this was a pain to the military police who was responsible for blocking the scene.

Some violent masters directly punched and kicked the military police blocking the road. At this moment, there are already many people with bruised noses and swollen faces.

Have to admire the resilience of the Japanese. Even after he was beaten, he still greeted him with a smile. Anyway, there are too many people, so the ministerial mission is so small. After a wave of beatings, then another wave will continue.

Relying on the style of ”no curse, no fight, no fight”, the ministers of various countries lost their temper and successfully bought time to clean up the scene.

...

In the imperial palace, Emperor Meiji was already stomping his feet with anger. The calmness and the prestige of the monarch in the past have long since been lost.

There is no way, what happened today is really exciting, and it directly caused the biggest diplomatic crisis in Japan's history.

Originally, it was troublesome enough to hit the Russian embassy. As a result, all the staff of the Russian embassy were hacked. The Emperor Meiji felt desperate for these troublemakers.

Regardless of how many objective reasons there are, the Japanese government cannot shirk the blame for this kind of thing.

Especially the tragedy happened under the noses of diplomats from various countries. If one is not dealt with properly, Japan may even suffer a disaster.

Unable to suppress his anger, Emperor Meiji almost roared and roared: ”What idiot planned to get people out of what happened today?”

It doesn't work if you don't get angry. No one has ever seen such a fool. That's it for protests and demonstrations, and Emperor Meiji was also happy to put pressure on the Russians.

Slaughtered the Russian embassy, ​​it was completely unexpected. Anyone who is politically savvy should know what this means.

The daytime tragedy not only provoked the Russians, but also challenged the European-led international order.

That is to say, the specific casualties have not been exposed, otherwise the news received now is not the collective protests of the ministers of various countries, but the relocation of the embassies of various countries.

After moving his brain a bit, Emperor Meiji knew that the next trouble for the Japanese government was going to go away. Enmity with the Russians is nothing, the most important thing is the sanctions from the international community.

Until these issues are dealt with, Japan will have no allies. Even the British government can't risk the world's disgrace to support them.

”This demonstration was organized by several student groups, including the Anti-Russian Communist Party and the Jagged Revenge. The main purpose is to protest against the Russians' violation of the rights of the empire.

The attack on the Russian embassy is not within the scope of the organizers' plan. The situation at the scene got out of control, mainly because a bullet that flew from an unknown place hit a protesting student at the scene.

Then someone more than a Russian murdered, arousing the anger of the people at the scene, and then the tragedy broke out.

Judging from the situation at the scene, in the daytime conflict, we had hundreds of deaths and nearly a thousand injured...”

Before Kodama Gentaro could finish speaking, Emperor Meiji reprimanded impatiently: ”I'm just asking who you planned, not to hear you defend them.

No matter what the reason is, someone has to stand up and be responsible for such a big thing and give an account to the international community.

Do you think that because of civilian casualties, countries around the world will abandon the attack on the Russian embassy?

Don't forget, dozens of staff members, including the Russian minister, all died.

In the eyes of the whole world, those who participated in demonstrations are no longer ordinary civilians, but a group of mobs who do not know the so-called. ”

If the explanation is useful, there will be no war in this world. No matter how the conflict was triggered, the staff in the Russian embassy were always killed by the Japanese people who participated in the demonstration.

This is enough. It is necessary to kill and pay for life, otherwise the diplomats of various countries in Japan will not be able to sleep in the future.

”Hi!”

Kodama Gentaro was also very helpless. It was not that he wanted to defend the students, but that there were too many people involved. If you keep going all the way, I don't know how much it will be unlucky.

What's more, most of the people who participated in the demonstrations were patriotic students. The reason why the incident happened during the day was entirely a conspiracy. If it weren't for someone to guide it, this tragedy would not happen under normal circumstances.

Only now that things have happened, someone must be responsible. The organization that plans the parade will definitely bear the brunt.

After a pause, Kodama Gentaro added: ”We have sent someone to investigate the black hand behind the scenes, but the scene was too chaotic at the time to determine where the bullet came from.

The gendarmerie has sealed off the scene, and our experts have stepped in and are arranging the scene.

According to the plan, we will disguise the scene as an accidental fire, resulting in the death of the staff of the Russian embassy. The marchers rushed in to...”

Before Kodama Gentaro could finish speaking, Ito Hirofumi couldn't help it. He has completely despaired of the military's brain circuits.

”Kodama-kun, are you sure you are not joking?”

Not a joke, it is a joke in itself. Unless the staff of the Russian embassy were all dead, otherwise the fire ran out early.

Even if there is no guarantee that everyone will run out, at least the guard guarding the gate should not be killed. Such an explanation can't even be perfunctory.

The attack on the embassy was to ”fight the fire”, which is even more nonsense. There were many witnesses at the scene, and the Japanese government was incapable of making the staff of several nearby embassies open their eyes and talk nonsense.

It is not impossible to treat the countries of the world as idiots and to be helpless. If Japan is as strong as the Americans of later generations, it can be played like this.

It's a pity that Japan is just a little brother these days. At best, he barely touched the threshold of the great powers, but he still didn't cross it.

With poor strength and playing with other countries as fools, it is obvious that he has not experienced social beatings and wants to come out for excitement.

There is no way, the thinking of East and West is inconsistent. Civil officials who were the first to contact the West can barely keep up, and the thinking of military generals still stays in the traditional mode of thinking.

From the perspective of the military, what happened in the Russian embassy is only a problem between Japan and Russia, and has nothing to do with other countries.

It's a shame. Anyway, the relationship between Japan and Russia is like this. No matter how bad it is, it can't be worse.

However, the reality is very cruel. What European governments like most is to participate in this kind of international affairs without any risk and pure prestige.

Anyway, it is Japan's mistakes, and it's right to catch the Japanese government.

If a major country is willing to take the lead in sanctions, everyone does not mind to join in the fun and give full play to their ”international influence.”

The obscure Kodama Gentaro soon realized his mistake under the criticism of the crowd, and decisively chose to surrender, without the Japanese army's spirit of preferring death.

...

Foreign Minister Kazuyuki Inoue: ”As of now, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received diplomatic notes from 11 countries, including Britain and Shinra, asking us to explain what happened at the Russian embassy during the day and open the scene for them to send people. Check.

We have sent people to contact with the British Minister, and the result is very unsatisfactory. The British also asked us to give a reasonable explanation.
