The assassination of Wu Haoxuan, the major marshal of the Northern Army, was also known to the Beiyang government. Many bigwigs of the Beiyang government celebrated this, thinking that they could inflict heavy damage on the northern army. However, Tang Shaoyi thinks that this is not a good thing. If the Northern Army falls, I am afraid that the Beiyang government will be even more unable to deal with the Japanese invasion.

Although the northern government has threatened the rule of the Beiyang government, no matter how infighting the Chinese are, it is like a fight between brothers. If the Japanese invaded, it would be different. Therefore, Tang Shaoyi disagrees with the concept of those bigwigs of the Beiyang government.

"The Northern Army wantonly arrested the Japanese, and it seems that most of the assassination of Wu Haoxuan was done by these little Japanese. They are the only ones who have this motivation. These Japanese are really despicable and shameless, they can't be defeated on the battlefield, and it is extremely shameless to adopt such a method. Tang Shaoyi scolded in his heart.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, but this is a matter between you and the Northeast Patrol Embassy, and we can't interfere. You can only go to the Northeast Patrol Envoy. Tang Shaoyi said expressionlessly.

"You shirk your responsibilities! If the expatriates of the Great Japanese Empire were damaged, we would definitely take revenge. Minister Lin Quanzhu said viciously, and his tone was full of threats.

"Please!" Tang Shaoyi said coldly. He can see that these little Japan are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard. They suffered a loss on the side of the northern government, and they had no choice but to bully the Beiyang government. He, as the foreign minister, really has enough pockets.

The next afternoon, after having all the evidence. Yang Du, secretary general of the Political Affairs Committee of the Northern Government, summoned the Japanese consul in Shengjing, Abe Shotaro. However, as soon as the two met, Shotaro Abe expressed his protest against the northern government.

"Your Excellency, the Northern Army has wantonly arrested Japanese nationals in Shengjing City. This is a serious disruption to the relations between our two countries and a violation of the armistice agreement we signed last year! I strongly protest this and demand that the northern government explain the matter and apologize and compensate the Empire of Japan. Otherwise, the Empire of Japan will retain the right to take action! Abe Shotaro looked angry.

"Your Excellency, why are we doing that? You won't be unaware of this, will you? Yang Du said coldly. Now, the northern government has definite evidence in its hands that it was the Japanese who assassinated Wu Haoxuan. These damn little devils dare to protest, it's simply hateful. Although Yang Du is a gentleman, he is also very angry at the moment.

Abe Shoutaro was stunned, a little unclear about what Yang Du meant.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean by that?" Shotaro Abe asked.

"The person who assassinated the young marshal was a Japanese. It's all there. You planned it at all. Of course we're going to catch the murderer. I have to tell you that the murderer has been caught! Yang Du said word by word.

"What? How is this possible? Your Excellency, Secretary-General, this is a slander against the Great Japanese Empire! The Empire of Japan would never have done such a thing. Shotaro Abe flatly denied it.

"Bastard, what's that going on with those guys? Doesn't it mean that it will be foolproof and will never be leaked? "Abe Shotaro was a little anxious. As the Japanese consul in Shengjing, he was certainly aware of the whole assassination. It's just that the Japanese government didn't directly take action in this assassination, and everything was taken care of by the Black Dragon Society. Even if the matter is revealed. It won't involve them.

"Whether it is slander or not, Your Excellency should know very well. This is the confession of the murderer. You can take a look! Yang Du directly handed a confession to Shotaro Abe.

Shoutaro Abe hurriedly opened it, only to see that the record on it was the confessions of Jiro Suzuki and Katsu Yamaguchi. The two confessed everything, almost nothing at all.

Abe Shoutaro's face suddenly turned black like the bottom of a pot.

"Damn two bastards, they actually confessed! Are they still warriors of the Great Japanese Empire? I've known for a long time, those guys from the Black Dragon Society. It's simply unreliable. Abe Shoutaro scolded in his heart.

However, it is obviously impossible to admit such a thing. Otherwise, you're getting yourself in trouble. Although the Japanese have a bad stomach in their backs, they also want to save face on the surface. They are also one of the great powers of the world, if the international community knows that they actually did such a thing. It will undoubtedly make them even more isolated.

"Your Excellency, I have serious doubts about the authenticity of these confessions. The Empire of Japan would never have done such a thing. "Abe Shoutaro looks righteous and stern, as if he has been slandered. People who can be diplomats really need to be thick-skinned.

"Your Excellency, you mean that we made up these confessions?" Yang Du felt that he was about to be blown up, these little Japan, they were really shameless.

"Your Excellency, I didn't say that." Abe Shoutaro shook his head, although he said that, the meaning was very obvious.

"Your Excellency, on behalf of the Northern Government, I formally request your country to hand over the two masterminds behind the scenes, Ryohei Uchida and Mitsuru Toyama. Otherwise, the northern government will retain the power to pursue action. Yang Du didn't want to waste any more time.

Abe Shotaro left the Northern Government Political Affairs Committee with a gloomy face, and the two guys from the Black Dragon Society were actually caught and confessed, which was completely unexpected by them. Fortunately, this matter has nothing to do with the Japanese government, and it can be completely pushed on the Black Dragon Society. However, it was obviously impossible for the northern government to demand that the Japanese government hand over Ryohei Uchida and Mitsuru Toyama. The Black Dragon Society has become the largest militarist organization in Japan, and Ryohei Uchida and Toyama are the leaders of the Black Dragon Society, and if the Japanese government really hands over these two people to the northern government, there will definitely be a big mess.

In the evening of the same day, the Political Affairs Committee of the Northern Government held a press conference, which was attended by media reporters from various countries in Shengjing City, as well as consuls from the United States, Germany, and Russia.

At a press conference, Yang announced the results of the investigation into the assassination, and introduced the identities of Jiro Suzuki and Katsu Yamaguchi, as well as their testimonies. This immediately caused an uproar.

Shengjing City was blockaded by the army, and there was a lot of arrest, which attracted the attention of many people. They are also figuring out what happened. I didn't expect it to be the Japanese who assassinated the young marshal of the Northern Army, this is big news!

The reporters asked questions one after another, but Yang Du answered patiently. It's just that when these reporters asked about Wu Haoxuan's injury, Yang Du kept silent.

At the same time, the US consul in Shengjing, Gu Lizhi, and the German consul in Shengjing, Adrian, also made high-profile statements and severely criticized the assassination. He also expressed support for the demand of the northern government and demanded that the Japanese government hand over the murderer as soon as possible.

Although, at the end of the press conference, the Japanese consul in Shengjing, Abe Shotaro, arrived, and he strongly refuted Yang Du's statement, claiming that this was a slander against the Japanese government by the northern government, and the Japanese government absolutely did not do those things. At the same time, he angrily declared that the Japanese government would hold the northern government accountable for slander.

It's just that in everyone's opinion, Abe Shoutaro's remarks are just a dead duck's hard mouth.

And this has directly caused accusations against Japan in the international community. In particular, in the United States and Germany, with the deliberate support of the government, the major media have called the Japanese despicable and shameless assassins, and Japan's international image has suddenly fallen to the bottom.

Tokyo's Kasumigaseki Shoki, Japan's Prime Minister's Office, and Prime Minister Saionji Kotoshi held a five-phase meeting to discuss the current international situation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current rhetoric in the country is very unfavorable to the Japanese Empire, and we must find a way to reverse this unfavorable situation." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said with a dark face.

The War Department and the Black Dragon Society colluded to plan this assassination, which was well known to senior cabinet officials such as Konobo Xionji. It's just that they turned a blind eye to this before. They also hoped that the assassination would be successful, so that Japan could be relieved of a serious problem.

This incident had an extremely negative impact on the Japanese Empire. We were going to negotiate a loan with the French. was already about to sign a contract, but because of this incident, it was completely ruined. The other party doubts our integrity! Foreign Minister Lin Dong's face was furious.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister Lu, the Ministry of Finance is really out of money, and originally hoped to get loans from the great powers to tide over this difficult time. But I didn't expect it to be like this. Therefore, the expansion expenses originally planned for the army will have to be postponed. Tibetan Prime Minister Yoshiro Sakaya said helplessly.

Lu Xiangji is resolute, and his face is as black as the bottom of a pot. He didn't expect that he would end up like this. Those guys from the Black Dragon Society are really more than successful and more than defeated.

Minoru Saito, the prime minister of the sea, also spoke: "The army has indeed done something wrong in this matter. This has seriously affected the image of the Great Japanese Empire. The Army needs to be held accountable for this! ”

"This matter has nothing to do with the army, it was all planned by the Black Dragon Society!" Masaki Terauchi said. Now, the Japanese Army needs to be removed from this matter. In any case, the Japanese Army must not be involved.

The other cabinet ministers couldn't help but laugh at this. Of course, they won't believe Terauchi's words. It's just that they can also understand Terauchi's approach. If successful, the Black Dragon will be a hero. But now that something is wrong, the black cauldron should naturally be carried by the Black Dragon Society. (To be continued......)
