"Based on the above reasons, we have made serious protests against Japan's hostile acts against our Shanghai office. This is not only a provocation to us, but also a bad act that undermines this Shanghai negotiation. Therefore, before our delegation's life safety in Shanghai is not clear and effective guaranteed, this negotiation will be temporarily suspended, and the negotiation will be held unlimitedly. It is impossible to rule out the possibility of cancellation of the negotiations. In addition, if our Shanghai office staff encounter any accidental damage, we do not rule out the use of other means to safeguard our interests, and all the consequences arising from this will be the responsibility of the other party."

After Li Sanjie finished speaking, someone immediately distributed seven copies of the protest letters and copies of the evidence documents found in Japan's intelligence bases to the consulates in Shanghai of the seven countries of Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Japan, Italy and the Olympics.

It turned out that after receiving the order from the Executive Committee, Li Sanjie immediately notified the consulates in Shanghai except Russia to gather in the British consulates, protested to Japan in public, and presented corresponding evidence documents. In fact, the consuls of various countries knew nothing about the time travelers raiding Japanese intelligence bases, because the Shanghai office and Japan's intelligence bases were not in the concession, so of course they would not know, including the Japanese consul, Joe Oda-kyu. After all, he was just a diplomat, not an intelligence officer.

After listening to Li Sanjie's words, consuls from all countries also felt the seriousness of the situation. In fact, the evidence documents presented by Li Sanjie cannot fully prove that the Japanese intelligence agencies are intentionally detrimental to overseas Chinese. After all, this is just a one-sided statement provided by overseas Chinese. However, the people present are all diplomatic. They know that this is not a court in the domestic court. They must pay attention to personal evidence and physical evidence. It is already very good for overseas Chinese to come up with these evidences. Moreover, overseas Chinese will not do meaningless things. Since they blame Japan like this, there must be something wrong here. In addition, Japan's planning of such actions also surprised all countries. Fortunately, although Li Sanjie's words are tough, they still have room for space. Since there is room for space, then it is possible to negotiate, so the consulars of various countries are a little relieved.

So at this time, the consuls' eyes were also focused on the Japanese consul, Odagiri, to see how he responded. The gaze of everyone made Odagiri very embarrassed. Although Odagiri didn't know the truth, he was also clear-headed. This matter was true, and it must have been done by the people from the domestic military headquarters. Those people dared to do anything and could do it. They planned to attack the Shanghai office of overseas Chinese, so the people from the military headquarters could definitely do it.

Although diplomats often work on intelligence, the Japanese military has its own unique intelligence agency and is not the same as the diplomatic intelligence agency. However, when diplomatic support is needed, the military will provide help to the diplomatic system without hesitation. However, when taking action, it will never collude with the diplomatic system, nor will it care whether its actions will cause any trouble to diplomacy. Of course, in the end, it will clean up the mess and ignore the matter of wiping the butt, and will give it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

As a diplomat, Joe Oda is a person with an international perspective. Of course, he knows that overseas Chinese may become Japan's biggest opponent in the future, but at present, it is not advisable to have bad friends with overseas Chinese. To a certain extent, he must cooperate with overseas Chinese, such as jointly dealing with Russia. At this time, attacking overseas Chinese's Shanghai office will definitely not benefit Japan.

However, Oda Chee also understood that not everyone in Japan had their own vision and judgment. Because they were the people in the military headquarters, Oda Chee was suspicious. It had been going on for more than 30 years in the Meiji era, and Japan gradually began to enter modern society. However, were the people in the military headquarters still living in the shogunate era, with simple and strange thoughts. Oda Chee could guess what they were thinking, attacking the Shanghai office of overseas Chinese and re-provoking wars between overseas Chinese and various countries, so that Japan could make profits from it; or to blame this incident on Russia, provoking a full-scale war between overseas Chinese and Russia, and Japan could reap profits, etc.

In theory, this idea is indeed correct, but how sure is the success? Whether it is overseas Chinese or Russians, are they not stupid people, and they will be foolishly fooled by Japan? What if the matter is exposed, wouldn’t it be that offending the two major forces of overseas Chinese and Russian at the same time. By then, Japan will not only be easy to get anything, but the dividends obtained in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 may be scattered. Therefore, in Oda Choi’s heart, he had long greeted all the female members of the military’s family.

However, although Odaki was angry, this was a domestic matter in Japan after all, and it could not be put on the stage. Because it was on the international stage, the arms that were broken can only be hidden in the sleeves. In addition, as a diplomat, Odaki was also very clear-headed. Such things could never be recognized. Therefore, he said: "Mr. Li, I wonder if you have some misunderstandings. We Japan have always hoped to live in peace with you. In promoting this negotiation, we Japan also made considerable contributions. This point will not change. Therefore, we will never do anything that is unfavorable to you. Will there be some hostile forces and do not want to see this negotiation succeed. We deliberately dirty Japan. We also hope that you can remain calm and not..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Sanjie interrupted: "Consul Oda, we are discussing now to solve practical problems, not to play word games. Instead of spending time here to cover up the facts and excuse Japan, it is better to seize the time to do some valuable things better. I suggest that you report to the country truthfully immediately. After all, such a major thing cannot be decided by you."

Huo Bilan also said: "Consul Oda, I think Mr. Li's words make sense. You should report to the country as soon as possible. At the same time, I hope that you can truthfully respond to the severity of the consequences to Japan. I hope that the Japanese government can reply as soon as possible to resolve this problem. Our British Empire will never want an unexpected event at this critical moment of negotiations. This will seriously damage the interests of our British Empire. I think it is also not in line with the interests of all the countries here."

Consuls from other countries also expressed their agreement with Huo Bilan's statement, asking Odaki to report to Japan as soon as possible, and asked the Japanese government to respond as soon as possible, which was actually asking the Japanese government to make a guarantee.

At this time, Oda Kei was sweating profusely and said: "Okay, okay, I will report to the country immediately and will give all countries a satisfactory reply as soon as possible. I hope you can give us some time."

After saying that, Oda Chee also stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and returned to the Japanese consulate. He was also thinking that he really wanted to report to the country to indicate the seriousness of this incident and prevent the military from chaoticizing the military, because Shanghai is no better than other places. This is a place where forces from various countries gather and intertwined. Everything is a tangle. Making trouble in Shanghai will only make Japan completely isolated internationally. This is not a joke. However, Oda Chee is not sure who can stop the military's crazy behavior in the country.

After Oda Chee left, Huo Bilan turned to Li Sanjie again and said, "Mr. Li, please consider this Shanghai negotiation seriously. This is beneficial to both of us. As for your negotiators and other personnel safety, the concession can be fully responsible, and you can rest assured."

Li Sanjie nodded and said, "Okay, I will report to the Executive Committee truthfully."

At this time, Huo Bilan said to other consuls: "Everyone, I suggest that you should report domestically immediately and negotiate with the Japanese government."

Three days later, the Japanese government made an official statement in the name of Hirobuki Ito, claiming that the intelligence bases that were destroyed by overseas Chinese had nothing to do with the Japanese government, but the Japanese government strongly accused this hostile act against overseas Chinese, and the Japanese government agreed to continue the Shanghai negotiations, which combined the common interests of Japan and the Qing Dynasty and other countries, and hoped to establish a good relationship with overseas Chinese. At the same time, the Japanese government will ensure the safety of overseas Chinese negotiators.

In the Shanghai Public Concession and the French Concession Industry Bureau jointly issued official documents to the Travel Group to ensure the safety of overseas Chinese negotiating delegations in Shanghai, and hoped that overseas Chinese could continue to negotiate in Shanghai.

After receiving the guarantee from the Japanese government and the Shanghai Concession, the Tianjin Executive Committee held another discussion. In the final vote, the Shanghai negotiations were continued by a majority vote, but two conditions were put forward. The first was to send warships and troops to Shanghai to protect the security of the delegation; the second was to clearly explain the situation in Shanghai to the time travelers in the delegation, and they could freely choose whether to go to Shanghai.

After receiving the conditions for the crossover, countries finally agreed to the crossover's request that warships and troops could be sent to Shanghai, but also put forward restrictions, that is, the fleet size cannot exceed 6 ships, and the number of troops is only 300. They can carry rifles, pistols, machine guns and other weapons, but they cannot carry weapons with a caliber of more than 20mm. Such weapons can have a limited protective effect on the delegation, but will not pose too much danger to Shanghai.

The Tianjin Executive Committee believes that these restrictions are not excessive and can be agreed. So it finally decided that two company protection delegations would be sent in the military, and the fleet would be served as the flagship of the Kunqu ship, including the Changbaishan ship, the Huaihua ship, and three other local warships.

However, such a military allocation is not symbolic. The Kunming ship is the most combat-capable and equipped with the most guides among the crossing warships. The range of the main gun alone reaches 30 kilometers, which can cover most of the concessions. The Changbaishan ship has strong vertical combat and delivery capabilities, and carries 4 Helicopters in total. Therefore, once someone really wants to be unfavorable to the crossing warships, the army of the two companies can withstand a period of time, and other personnel can retreat through the helicopter.
