The US fleet left Japan and sailed to Qingdao the next day after the visiting fleet of the East China Masahiro Government left the Japanese waters. Before Yamamoto's snoring, something happened again.

It turned out that on the day the US fleet left, the Japanese news media reported on the incident of Japanese civil society attacking the East China Masahiro Fleet. The Consulate of the East China Masahiro Fleet in Japan informed several European and American journalists stationed in Japan overnight that the incident of Japanese civil society attacking the East China Masahiro Fleet, and could take photos and collect evidence from the East China Masahiro Fleet in the Nagasaki Sea.

After hearing the news, the reporters were naturally very interested, because this was a big news, so they rented boats to Nagasaki overnight, or generated electricity to their colleagues in Nagasaki to interview the news. After the Nagasaki incident the previous day, many foreign reporters rushed to Nagasaki to interview the big news, so in these days, Nagasaki reporters gathered.

The original intention of the East China Political Government was to worry that the Japanese news media blocked the news, so it informed reporters from various countries overnight. However, the reporters' awareness of confidentiality was not that strong. Some journalists had good branches in Japan, and many journalists used telegrams to notify their colleagues in Nagasaki. Therefore, it was not until dawn that the news was leaked, and some Japanese journalists also learned about this.

However, the situation of the Japanese news media blockade of the East China Government was worried that the Japanese news media had not happened. Japanese reporters were also very active in interviewing and reporting on the incident. A few Japanese reporters asked European and American reporters to take them out to the East China Government fleet for interviews, and were very enthusiastic about helping them contact the ships.

Japanese journalists are so enthusiastic, of course, not because of the freedom of the press, but because Japanese journalists do not think that night attacks will damage Japan's reputation. On the contrary, they regard this action as a feat. The people involved in this action are regarded by reporters as Japanese heroes and righteous men. Although a few journalists pointed out that attacking their visiting fleet will only make Japan isolated and ridiculed internationally, once this view is put forward, it will immediately attract other people's reprimands and beatings.

Although the night attack ended in annihilation and none of the participants came back, probably either captured by the fleet or died at sea, it made the operation even more tragic. In this regard, the Japanese and Chinese people have similarities, and they both appreciate the tragic heroes more. In the words of a Japanese reporter, it is: I hope that the sacrifices of these heroes can be used to awaken the Japanese people's spirit of unity and hard work.

Sure enough, after the report on the night attack was reported, a wave of public opinion arose among the Japanese people, which aroused the righteous indignation of the people. Under the brilliant writing of the reporters, the people who participated in the night attack were indeed regarded as heroic righteous men by the people. Some suggested sending the spiritual positions of these people to the Shizuki Shrine for worship, and some advocated erecting a monument in Nagasaki to show the hero's fearless and brave behavior. Many people also asked the cabinet to take effective measures to rescue the arrested righteous men.

Faced with the huge public opinion, Yamamoto Kyoto was unmoved at all. After all, he was preparing to resign, so he was still neglecting these things. Anyway, the fleet of the East China Maitsu Government has left, and the people they captured have been brought back to Qingdao, and no one can save them. As for erecting monuments for these people, don't even think about it. This group of people almost caused great trouble for themselves. They didn't dig their ancestral graves and just wanted to erect monuments.

The rest of Yamamoto's Hon Binge was mainly to negotiate compensation with the United States. Three American soldiers were killed, and it was unreasonable not to compensate. Of course, the negotiations went smoothly. After all, the United States did not care about the money. Guan Jian needed a surrender attitude from the Japanese Masashima Government. After the news of the Nagasaki incident came to the United States, the disgust towards Japan in the United States also suddenly increased, which put huge pressure on Roosevelt's cabinet. Therefore, the US Masashima Government and Japan were not allowed to compromise. The Japanese Masashima Government must make a clear statement. In the end, the two sides negotiated that Japan would compensate the United States 500,000 yen, which is about 200,000 US dollars.

But in the eyes of the Japanese people, this is another major crime of Yamamoto's Cabinet being weak and humiliated to the outside world. At this moment, 12 captured Japanese people came from Qingdao to trial and convict in Qingdao. Each of them was sentenced to 20 years of service, and the fishing boats seized by the fleet were also publicly displayed.

Although Yamamoto's Cabinet immediately announced that all the so-called evidence of the East China Masao Government was false and the Japanese Masao Government refused to admit it, the news made the Japanese people indignant, so large-scale public protests broke out in major cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Nagasaki, Kyoto, Kobe, etc., demanding that Yamamoto's Cabinet resign immediately and step down, and even radical slogans such as "trial" and "heaven punishment" appeared.

At this moment, Yamamoto Homoe finally announced his resignation as prime minister.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"So it turns out that the situation is very good! Why did you suddenly get this point?"

"Oh! This time, I can only say that God's will is so, and it cannot be saved by human power."

"No! Sir! I think this time it was not God's will, but man-made disasters, and it was caused by man-made disasters."

Hirobu Ito was slightly stunned and said, "Man-made disaster? Miyamoto, why do you think this time was caused by man-made disasters?"

Although the Nagasaki incident has been basically resolved, it has managed Hirobuki Ito painstakingly and even destroyed his reputation to visit the East China Government. Inviting the fleet of the East China Government to visit Japan, creating a good situation where Japan and the East China Government improve the customs. In the Nagasaki incident, Japan and the East China Government will completely break up and become hostile relations, causing Japan to not only lose a good external environment for peaceful restoration and development of national strength, but also in order to fight against the East China Government, Japan must strengthen its dependence on Britain and France. Not only will it completely lose the flexible posture of getting along with both sides, but it will also face a very difficult situation when conducting tariff negotiations with the UK in the future. After all, Japan has already abandoned the most favorable bargaining chips, and Britain can be at ease.

However, although Ito Hirofumi felt distressed, it still believed that the Nagasaki incident was just an accidental event, so it was attributed to God's will. However, Naotaku Miyamoto attributed the Nagasaki incident to man-made disaster, which naturally made Ito Hirofumi quite puzzled.

Naotao Miyamoto said: "Sir, on the surface, the Nagasaki incident was the same as last time. It was caused by an accidental incident, that is, several American soldiers went ashore and had a conflict with the people. It was caused by accidental events. However, in the end, the public's resentment did not face the United States, but was sent to the East China Government. This shows that there must be a reason and must not be explained by chance."

Hirofumi Ito said: "It is not difficult to explain. We lost to the East China Masahiro in the Far East War, so the people have great resentment towards the East China Masahiro. Although the Nagasaki incident was caused by American soldiers, the East China Masahiro's fleet was also in Nagasaki, so it is reasonable to send all the resentment to the East China Masahiro's side."

Miyamoto Naotao shook his head and said, "Losing the Far East War is only one of the reasons. But if the Masashima government's propaganda and control is effective, even if the Nagasashima incident happened, it would not cause such a big public grievance. However, after the Far East War, the Masashima government continued to incite hatred of the East China Masashima government among the people in order to reduce its responsibilities. Although the Masashima government hopes to improve its relationship with the East China Masashima government, the public opinion is full of hatred and hostility towards the East China Masashima government. Therefore, although the Nagasashima incident was caused by American soldiers, the people have been resentful to the East China Masashima government, which is inevitable."

Hirobu Ito frowned and said, "If we do not establish an enemy, how can we arouse the people's shared hatred and unity? How can we gather the people's collective intention to advance! Moreover, we were indeed defeated by the East China Political Government in the Far East War. Do we still have to be polite to our enemies!"

Miyamoto Naotaku smiled bitterly and said, "It is certainly necessary to establish an enemy, but our propaganda is that the East China Magistrate Government stole our victory. This kind of propaganda can only cause misjudgment from the people. Moreover, we currently need to improve relations with the East China Magistrate Government, but among the people, we have repeatedly promoted the hostility of the East China Magistrate Government. Isn't this a contradiction? How come no accident! Even if this Nagasaki incident will not cause a major disaster, it will cause trouble in other directions in the future."

After hearing this, Hirobuki Ito thought about it seriously, and finally nodded, saying, "Miyamoto, what you said does make sense. We have indeed ignored this point. We thought that improving relations with the East China Government was just a temporary measure. We did not care about the publicity of the people, which caused the current situation. It was indeed a man-made disaster. But now we have completely broken up with the East China Government, so we don't have to worry about the contradiction you mentioned in the future."

After hearing this, Miyamoto Naotao sighed, shook his head and said, "Sir, what I mean is not just this, but I think the propaganda of the people by the Magistrate Government has gone astray. It is understandable that it is established by the enemy, exaggerating its own cultural strength, even racial superiority, and deliberately promoting hatred against the enemy among the people. Moreover, if this propaganda is used properly, it will naturally arouse the people's shared hatred and unite the people's collective intention to advance; but if the propaganda is too much, it will become an incitement to the public, and will eventually only endanger Japan itself. This time it is a backlash of our propaganda. Fortunately, this backlash is not serious, and there are still ways to remedy it. If it is not improved now and continue like this, the consequences will only be more serious."
