Ichiro Fujita, who was staying in the cabin and playing cards, had no interest in going to the deck to see the "fever" battle, as if he was in the center of the battle, as if he was a man outside the world. But this is true. Whether it was the battle between the navy and the Qingdao Fortress or other things, Ichiro Fujita, who had only the title of liaison officer, had no right to intervene. It would be better to stay in his cabin and live leisurely, and to go over and see the navy's hateful faces.

Compared with the Navy, Ichiro Fujita didn't catch a cold with the only few subordinate army officers on the flagship. These red deer whose heads were broken by guns would only reduce their IQ when communicating with them. How could Ichiro Fujita, who thought he was smart, make friends with these "cannon fodder" in a low-key manner?

The cards in his hand were opened one by one, and Ichiro Fujita concentrated on calculating how to pass the level next. This kind of poker game was taught by Fang Zida at the beginning. Ichiro Fujita liked it very much, thinking that this is what a truly wise talent plays.

Just when he was about to pass the pass, there was a knock on the hatch door. He stood up and opened the door with some displeasure. He saw the Atelier Rokuro's adjutant standing outside the door, saying that the commander asked him to go to the bridge for something.

Invite people to wait, go back to the cabin and sort out their clothes. Fujita Ichiro followed the staff officer to the bridge and saw Yachi Rokuro and the captain gathering to discuss what was going on.

"Fujita, please come here." The adjutant of the staff asked Fujita Ichiro to wait a moment, went straight to report to Yashida Rokuro first, and then greeted Fujita.

"Hi" Although I was disdainful, Ichiro Fujita still showed the respect that Japanese subordinates faced their superiors. He walked forward slowly, saluted Yachi Rokuro and bowed.

"Fujita, as the liaison officer of the army in the navy, please immediately hand over this order to General Kamio Mitsumon, the commander of the 18th Division of the Guizhou Division, so that he can prepare according to the plan." Without having to do anything to Fujita Ichiro, Yashida Rokuro just nodded slightly and then assigned the task.

"Hi Huyi will do it now." Fujita Ichiro took it with both hands respectfully, and nodded with his head when he touched his heels.

"Yaxi..." Yayoi Rokuro smiled, waved to Ichiro Fujita, and then turned around and continued to discuss with the captain, as if he was chasing a fly.

After leaving the bridge, Ichiro Fujita reached Takashi's orders to the transport ship to send an order to the Eighth-Yue Rokuro. At this time, the shelling on the sea continued. The rumbling sound of cannons came much clearer and louder than in the cabin. Although he did not understand naval battles, from the situation, the Japanese Second Fleet did not achieve much effect. On Takashi, Ichiro Fujita looked at the content of the order first. The Eighth-Yue Rokuro's order was very simple, instructing the 18th Division to land in the direction of Longkou as soon as possible after the Second Fleet broke through Jiaozhou Bay, and cooperated with the Second Fleet to attack Qingdao Fortress in front and back.

"Haha, don't you claim to take Qingdao in four or five days? The Navy needs the army to help after the war. It's really thick-skinned," Fujita Ichiro thought to himself. He couldn't help but shake his head. At the same time, he planned to return to the flagship after passing the order. He must not land with the army or anything else. Qingdao's defense is very strong. Ichiro Fujita is very clear about the strength of the defense. Running to the front line to die is definitely not in line with his style.

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese Second Fleet officially decided to start the plan of a split-up attack. At the same time, in the stable, when they received news that Qingdao was attacked by the Japanese Second Fleet, the Chinese government was in a turmoil. The Japanese people, Hailu and Land, and Qingdao launched an attack almost at the same time. This was definitely a surprise to everyone. Song Jiaoren immediately stopped all work and instructed the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense to take immediate response measures. He rushed to the Congress to attend the Congress emergency meeting.

The previous protest of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs just passed, and the second protest came again. Cao Rulin urgently summoned the Japanese ambassador and severely scolded the Japanese side for taking full responsibility for provoking the war without authorization. He also raised the threat that China would break off diplomatic relations with Japan if the Japanese side did not stop fire. Regarding the Chinese government's further tough stance, Japanese ambassador Nichiri continued to turn black and white, saying that Qingdao's second fleet made a normal reaction because of the sneak attack of Kanto Prefecture, and all responsibilities should be the responsibility of the Chinese government, and the Japanese side is the real victim.

This is a nonsense, and the whole world probably won't believe it, but the Japanese can only believe it themselves. Ambassadors from all countries who received news of the expansion of war between China and Japan were also shocked, especially British ambassador Jurden, who joined forces with ambassadors such as France, Tsarist Russia and the United States to put pressure on the Japanese, strongly demanding that Japan stop the military conflict with China and withdraw its troops and return home.

Regarding these, Hibiki all refused to make excuses such as the unclear incident and still needed to verify and investigate before making a decision, and used the abacus of delaying time. In the Japanese perspective, the older the time is, the more beneficial it is for them, and diplomatic dealings are just a common method, and these Japanese probably expected it to be.

The outbreak of the war in Qingdao is far more shocking than Fengtian has brought to the major leaders of the central government. Whether in terms of geographical location or criticality, Fengtian in the northeast cannot be compared with Qingdao. Once Qingdao is lost and Jiaozhou Bay falls into the hands of Japan, there will be no safety in the Pingjin area. The Japanese military front will directly threaten the central government, which is a result that no one wants to see.
