    After destroying the industrial facilities along the Osaka Bay, the Chinese Navy¡¯s Home Fleet sailed out of Osaka Bay and came to the Pacific to resupply.  In daytime battles, although it achieved very good results, it also consumed a lot of ammunition.

    Early the next morning, the fleet entered the Seto Inland Sea and continued to destroy the industrial base in southern Honshu.  The Seto Inland Sea has convenient transportation and is an important industrial area and economic center in southern Japan.  When the Chinese fleet entered the Seto Inland Sea, it carried out a devastating blow to the industrial facilities along the coast.  The southern part of Japan's Honshu Island is relatively narrow. Although most Japanese had to abandon their homes and evacuate to inland areas, there are still many people who stayed.  In the Chinese fleet's attacks on Japanese industrial facilities, if there is no resistance, it usually only destroys the industrial area.  If the Japanese army resists, it will bring greater losses to Japan.  Under the attack of the Chinese fleet, the Seto Inland Sea, which was originally busy with traffic, suddenly became deserted, causing very heavy losses to Japan.

    On the morning of March 20, while the Chinese navy was wantonly destroying Japan¡¯s industrial facilities in the Seto Inland Sea, Japanese Prime Minister Aritomo Yamagata held a press conference in Tokyo to accuse China of China¡¯s atrocities to Western reporters.

    "Dear journalist friends, I have invited you here today because I have something big to announce to you. Yesterday, in Kobe, Japan, the Chinese navy brazenly bombarded residential areas in Kobe, killing 100,000 civilians and hundreds of thousands of people.  Homeless. Although Japan and China are currently in a state of war, China's practice of wantonly killing civilians should be condemned by the whole world. The Japanese government will lodge a serious protest with the Chinese government and ask the Chinese government to  Japan apologizes and compensates Japan for its losses!" Yamagata Aritomo said with a sad and indignant look.  This little old man looks like a dead dad. It would be a pity not to become an actor.

    "Oh God! One hundred thousand civilians died. This is another crime committed by the Chinese government! I will definitely expose this barbaric behavior of the Chinese government to the American people!" A blond young woman said with a look of shock.  She is an American reporter, and the United States is now an ally of Japan. Of course, she will report China's atrocities in Japan in an exaggerated manner in the United States, in order to achieve the purpose of discrediting China.

    "Beautiful lady, thank you very much!" Shanxian Youpeng thanked you quickly, but a smile flashed in his eyes.  In fact, the civilian casualties in Kobe were less than 10,000. As for the hundreds of thousands of people who were homeless, it was entirely because the residents of Kobe were evacuated in advance before the Chinese navy attacked Kobe.  However, this is a good opportunity to make trouble for China, and Shanxian Youpeng will certainly not let it go.

    Subsequently, journalists from various countries also spoke one after another, condemning the atrocities committed by the Chinese navy and saying that they would definitely expose China¡¯s atrocities to the people at home.  This makes Yamagata Aritomo very happy. If Japan can get support from the whole world, even if it is only the support of public opinion, Japan will gain a lot.  The angry people in Western countries will definitely put pressure on their governments, whether they ask their governments to support Japan or attack China. This is very beneficial to Japan.  Even some German reporters were a little dissatisfied with China after learning the news. Although their reports would not add fuel to the fire, they obviously would not put in a good word for China.

    At the same time, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, Foreign Minister Shuzo Aoki was meeting with ministers from various countries stationed in Japan.

    "Dear ministers, the barbaric Chinese, they massacred the unarmed Japanese people yesterday, and are still bombarding the coastal areas of our country, causing huge losses to the innocent people of our country. Japan implores all countries to provide assistance to Japan  Let¡¯s help Japan get through this difficult time!¡± Aoki Shuzo said with a sad and angry look.

    It¡¯s just that these diplomats are not as easy to deal with as those reporters. Although they are not very clear about what happened in Kobe, they also know that Japan must have added a lot of water.  However, these countries have already declared war on China anyway, and they will not expose Japan, and they will also denounce the Chinese government.  Anyway, it¡¯s free to say a few words for the occasion.

    "Dear consuls, Japan now needs a lot of assistance. Food, steel, and various chemical products are indispensable for our war against China. I hope you can provide assistance to Japan now before China's blockade of Japan is fully formed.  . Otherwise, once Japan is defeated, it will greatly increase the difficulty for all countries to defeat China!" Shuzo Aoki said, wanting to gain some benefits for Japan from all countries.

    ¡°Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, China¡¯s blockade of Japan is about to be completed.?We have received news that a large number of Chinese warships are heading towards Japan, and a tight blockade will soon be formed.  At that time, even if we provide support to Japan, we will not be able to bring it in.  It may be very difficult for Japan now, but as long as we persist until we defeat China, Japan's crisis will be lifted.  By then, the losses suffered by Japan can be recovered from China in multiples!  " said the British Minister to Japan.

    "That's right! The British Navy is already preparing for an expedition to the Far East, and our US Navy's West Coast Fleet will also launch an attack on the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet in the near future. We will be able to win soon!" the US Minister to China also said.  As for how long he was talking about in the near future, no one knows.  As early as when the Chinese Navy annihilated the Japanese Navy and the Chinese Far East Fleet, the U.S. West Coast Fleet immediately withdrew to its base in San Diego and did not dare to go to sea again. This shows their fear of the Chinese Navy.

    "Our country's million-dollar jackpot is about to be ready and will soon launch an attack on northern China. Those weak yellow-skinned monkeys are definitely no match for the great Russian soldiers. We will soon be able to attack Beijing!" Russian Embassy in China  The minister said boldly.  As if they will be able to defeat the Chinese Army soon.  Only when the land war begins will he realize how wrong he was.

    Japan¡¯s foreign ministers are very speechless compared to ministers from various countries.  Obviously, these countries all hope that Japan can continue to confront China, but when it comes to supporting Japan, everyone is like an iron rooster, unwilling to pull out a hair.

    On the same day, the Emperor of Japan also issued an imperial edict to the Japanese people, asking the 40 million Japanese people to unite to fight against the Chinese invasion, and assured the people that the final victory would definitely belong to Japan.  The difficulties Japan is facing now are only temporary.  Japan's allies will soon launch an attack on China. By then, Japan will have won the final victory.

    The emperor has a very high status in the hearts of Japanese people.  As soon as the Japanese Emperor's imperial edict was issued, those brain-dead Japanese people immediately stopped complaining. Even if their homes were in ruins, they all endured it bitterly.  They expected the Emperor's promises for them to come true.  Even if it turns out to be in vain, it is not the emperor's fault, but the incompetence of those high-ranking officials.  After the emperor issued the imperial edict, the entire Japan united again and launched a stubborn resistance to China, no matter how much losses it incurred, it would not be hesitant.

    The newspapers published by Western countries the next day introduced the atrocities committed by the Chinese navy in Kobe in large sections.  In particular, newspapers from Britain, France, the United States and Russia did their best to add fuel to the fire, which greatly affected China's image in the West.  Those people who were bewitched even launched a march against China, demanding that the government launch an attack on China and save the weak and kind-hearted Japanese.  Even in Germany, a country traditionally close to China, demonstrations against China broke out.  It can be seen that Japan's strategy of winning over the same period and vilifying China has been very successful.

    As early as the evening of March 20, Wang Yuze received relevant news. Although the Chinese ambassador to Japan had withdrawn from the country, the intelligence agencies left by China in Japan were still operating.  However, this time it was Lukas, the German ambassador to China, who asked to see Wang Yuze.  Only then did Wang Yuze feel the seriousness of the matter.

    "Your Majesty, can you tell me, are Japan's accusations true? Did the Chinese Navy really kill 100,000 civilians in Kobe?" Lucas asked straight to the point when he saw Wang Yuze.

    "Uncle Lucas, you have all been deceived by the Japanese government. The Japanese civilians in Kobe have already evacuated. When the Chinese navy attacked Kobe, there were less than 50,000 people left in Kobe. Where could tens of thousands of people appear?  Tens of thousands of casualties!" Wang Yuze said.

    After hearing Wang Yuze's affirmative answer, Lucas was obviously relieved, but he still said a little unhappy: "It is wrong for the army to attack civilians. The German army will never attack innocent civilians.  of!"

    Wang Yuze was quite speechless. Despite what Lucas said so righteously, in fact the German team was not much better.  Especially during World War II, the Germans killed countless Jews, although this was largely due to Hitler's instigation.  But when Germany invaded other countries, it also killed countless civilians. In the process, there was also robbery, strong?  Rape and so on.  In war, human nature is undoubtedly the most despicable. After experiencing high-intensity battles, soldiers often develop violent emotions such as bloodlust.  Of course, the same thing happened when Germany failed and the Soviet army invaded Germany.  Therefore, in war, there is no so-called justice, only killing for profit.
