Volume 3 Storms in the East China Sea Chapter 96 Storm Climax
At 11:30 Beijing time, Ji Youguo was in state affairs]::
After receiving the news that the sudden outbreak of civil turmoil in Japan was not only unexpected by the Japanese government, but also unexpected by the Republic, Pan Yunsheng immediately activated the "emergency plan" of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and immediately reported the situation to Ji Youguo by telephone
By this time, the riots in Japan had led to the murder of 400 Chinese in Japan, most of whom were international students
The senior officials of the State Council who attended the meeting had gloomy faces, and they all learned through the news that what was happening in Japan and failed to raise the alarm in advance, not because the intelligence departments were incompetent, but because the incident came too suddenly, and the military intelligence agency and other intelligence departments had long since drawn up an emergency plan for the recurrence of riots in Japan and launched actions as soon as possible
"I won't say much about the situation," Ji Youguo's expression was very serious, "In addition to the ongoing financial defense war, we must do our best to rescue the Chinese in Japan, and the Ministry of Public Security immediately issued a notice to advise the nationals who are going to Japan to cancel their trips, and if they really need to go to Japan, they must contact the embassy and consulate in Japan in advance and inform them of the travel arrangements, so that they can get help from the embassy or consulate in case of danger."
The Minister of Public Security nodded, indicating that he understood what the Führer meant
Ji Youguo frowned slightly, and said, "Call the officials in charge of relevant affairs now, and ask them to make an announcement immediately."
The Minister of Public Security dared to hesitate, and immediately called the secretary who was sitting in the back and whispered a few words
"The Ministry of Communications immediately contacted the major domestic airlines to try to postpone the departure time of international flights to Japan, so that the major airlines could reserve at least one-third of their large passenger planes and prepare for the evacuation of overseas Chinese from Japan."
With the experience of the past, the Minister of Communications immediately called the secretary over and arranged the work in person
"Foreign Ministry ......," Ji Youguo hesitated for a moment and said, "Huang Guowei has not yet returned, and I am temporarily in charge of the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wang Yuanqing, you will immediately have a telephone conversation with Foreign Minister Huang Guowei to discuss the draft of the diplomatic statement, and strive to make a diplomatic statement before the end of the meeting, and I will personally issue a diplomatic statement."
"Führer, isn't that right?" Pang Xinglong immediately put forward his opinion
"What's wrong?" Ji Youguo looked at the prime minister
"The Japanese government has not yet stated that the riots in Japan are civilian, and if the head of state intervenes, we will lose diplomatic leeway."
"Is there room for manoeuvre now?"
"Führer" Zhao Rundong immediately stepped forward and said: "Comrade Xinglong is right, the Führer represents the republic, and we have no right to criticize Japan's internal affairs.
Pang Xinglong immediately nodded, indicating that this was exactly what he meant
Ji Youguo pondered for a while and said: "In this case, before Huang Guowei comes back, the prime minister will handle this matter."
Pang Xinglong didn't say much, and glanced at the vice premier who was sitting next to him in charge of foreign affairs
"The work of the Ministry of National Defense should also be carried out as soon as possible," Ji Youguo's mood had calmed down a lot, "It is still difficult for us to predict what the result of the riots in Japan will lead to, and we must prepare for the worst possible situation.
"The Ministry of Defense has already dealt with it, and it will be able to come up with a specific plan in the afternoon"
Ji Youguo nodded and said, "You must make your attitude clear as soon as possible, how is the situation in the army?" ”
Zhao Rundong hesitated for a moment and said: "The chief of the general staff has not contacted me, I'm afraid the situation is not very good."
"Perhaps, we should take the initiative to contact the United States"
"The United States?" Ji Youguo frowned slightly and looked at the prime minister
"Japan's domestic situation is turbulent, and the United States may not be able to benefit, if the situation continues to expand, the United States will definitely not benefit," Pang Xinglong hesitated slightly, and said, "If we express our willingness to join hands with the United States at this time to calm down the situation, the United States will not refuse."
"I won't refuse, and I won't let us meddle in Japan's domestic affairs," Zhao Rundong said lightly
Ji Youguo pressed his hand and didn't let the two argue
Pang Xinglong's words make sense, and Zhao Rundong's words also make sense
The United States does not want to see the situation expand, otherwise it will not broker a dispute between China and Japan to settle the dispute through negotiations, and the United States will not allow the Republic to exert influence on Japan's domestic situation and undermine US interests in Japan
The key question is, will taking the initiative to express its stance make the United States feel that the republic is timid?
If so, it will have a very serious impact on the future situation in the Western Pacific and even on the global diplomatic landscape of the Republic
After pondering for a while, Ji Youguo said: "I also have to think about it carefully, if necessary, I will call the US president on the hotline."
"Führer, I think ......"
Ji Youguo pressed his hand and said to Pang Xinglong, who was a little emotional: "Before that, you can express our wishes to the US ambassador, but don't send a formal diplomatic note."
Pang Xinglong took a deep breath and had to nod his head in agreement
"If nothing else, the meeting will end here," Ji Youguo said, glancing at the participating officials
The most important thing at the moment is to help the compatriots who are suffering from the disaster, and for the time being, all ministries and commissions should treat the immediate emergency situation with the attitude of treating the war, and then I will make detailed inquiries and arrangements for the work, hoping that the comrades of the ministries and commissions can do their best and do their best to save our compatriots! ”
Hearing Ji Youguo's somewhat incoherent words, Wang Yuanqing knew that the Führer's mood was very bad
Leaving the conference room, Ji Youguo asked Wang Yuanqing to follow: "After Huang Guowei returned, he immediately asked him to ask the Japanese government to provide convenience and cooperation for the evacuation plane sent by our country in the form of a diplomatic note, and if necessary, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can dispatch a diplomatic plane to evacuate the elderly, women, and children first."
"It is necessary to make a plan for the evacuation of overseas Chinese in advance"
Ji Youguo nodded and said, "You are responsible for this matter, and I will hand it over to Huang Guowei after it is formulated."
"I'm responsible?" Wang Yuanqing was secretly surprised
"In times of emergency, you should do more"
"Führer, I don't mean that, my abilities ......"
"After following me for so many years, you don't even have this ability?"
Wang Yuanqing didn't say anything more, and it was useless to say it
At 12:15 p.m., the State Council of the Republic of China issued a diplomatic statement: It demanded that the Japanese Government earnestly protect the lives and property safety of every Chinese in Japan, severely punish the rioters who caused riots, mutilated the Chinese, and stole the property of the Chinese, and gave a satisfactory answer to the Republic and all the Chinese in the world
The statement was tough, but there was no mention of war
At this time, the news media around the world were paying attention to the riots in Japan, and they had long expected that the republic would "speak out", so they did not care too much
To the surprise of the outside world, Japan, which was in a state of "war" with the republic, did not immediately respond
About an hour and a half after the Republic's diplomatic statement, at 1245 minutes Tokyo time, a spokesman for the Japanese Prime Minister's Office announced that the Prime Minister would make a televised address to the nation five minutes later
At this time, Ozawa had already left the Prime Minister's Office and came to TV Tokyo
Because the Prime Minister's Office was surrounded by demonstrators, reporters could not enter the Prime Minister's Office, and Ozawa had to go to the TV station to make a televised speech
Before walking into the studio, Ozawa went to the dressing room first and asked the masquerade to take care of it
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the live broadcast will start in three minutes"
"Okay, I'll go to the bathroom" Ozawa straightened his suit, "You guys go to the studio first, I'll go straight over later"
Several bodyguards hesitated, but 2 still went to the bathroom with Ozawa
After letting the bodyguard stay outside the door, Ozawa walked into the innermost squatting position, locked the door, and took out the mobile phone left by "Kentaro Miyamoto".
After pressing the redial button, Ozawa closed his eyes
It's past the agreed time of "Kentaro Miyamoto", and the other party didn't take the initiative to call, could it be that the operation to rescue Yuhimeko is in trouble?
The phone rang a few times before it was connected
"Miyamoto-kun?"
"I'm Ozawa, Miyamoto asked me to make this call, I want to see Yukiko"
"Prime Minister Ozawa?" The person on the other end of the phone hesitated, "Wait, the video signal is being transferred"
Ozawa put down the phone held up in his ear and stared intently at the screen, he didn't use the hands-free function because the bodyguard was outside
After a while, a picture on the screen was shaking
When he saw his daughter who was running, Ozawa's eyes moistened
"Dad...... Father...... Dad, what's going on, where are they taking me? ”
Ozawa hurriedly raised the phone, "Yuhimiko, can you hear me?" ”
"Dad, who are they, ...... Where are they taking me? ”
"Don't ask so much, Dad can't come to pick you up, you leave Japan with them, forever ...... Never come back."
"Dad......"
Ozawa hung up the phone, broke the phone into several pieces, and threw it into the toilet
Stabilizing his emotions, the prime minister left the bathroom and followed the 2 bodyguards to the studio
At the request of the director, all the bodyguards who followed the prime minister were driven out into the corridor outside
Ozawa sat on the left-hand side of the hostess and when the host introduced the situation to the audience, he took out the script prepared by "Kentaro Miyamoto".
There is not much content, it is all official "discourse"
"Now, I would like to invite Your Excellency the Prime Minister."
The camera panned to Ozawa, and the Prime Minister put down his speech, sat upright, hesitated slightly, and said, "On behalf of the Cabinet Government, I would like to thank all the voters who have supported us, supported us now, and will support us in the future......
Hearing this, the director already felt that something was not quite right
What happened next shocked not only the director, but also the audience throughout Japan
Before the pilot cut off the signal, Ozawa announced the dissolution of the Diet as quickly as possible and held an early general election!
In the intensive care unit of Tokyo National Hospital, the terminally ill Prime Minister's wife smiled when she heard her husband's statement and ripped off the oxygen tube inserted in her nostril
Perhaps she was the only Japanese who felt relieved and relieved at this time. (To be continued)
