The spy named Takeda was indeed a tough-talking person. He was imprisoned in the Criminal Department and refused to disclose the situation of his accomplices.
Three days after the interrogation, he took advantage of the guards' inattention and hit his head against the brick wall of the prison, killing him.
Zhang Yi was not surprised. Japanese pirates always regarded human life as trivial and were indifferent to others and themselves.
This is a cold-blooded nation, extremely cruel.
Zhang Yi asked someone to make two copies of the Emperor's secret letter. He personally wrote a letter to the leaders of Greater China and Little China, describing the situation and hoping that China would maintain unity within the country and be united in dealing with the outside world, and never fall into the trap of Japanese pirates.
.
After the letter was sent, Zhang Yi still felt a little uneasy. The Japanese pirates had penetrated into Chang'an, which is located in the interior. Their activities in Greater China and Little China should be even more rampant.
Just when he was thinking about how to deal with the harassment of Japanese pirates, something suddenly happened.
Someone came to inform Zhang Yi, and Chen Yiyi and Fu Xiang started fighting!
Zhang Yi hurried to the office of the Alliance Committee, and the two of them had been separated. Zhang Yi saw that the tables and chairs in the office had been smashed, and both of them looked angry.
how so?
Zhang Yi was surprised and puzzled. Since the establishment of the alliance committee, the three parties have always coexisted harmoniously. Whenever any problem arises, they will negotiate and resolve it. There has never been any harm to the harmony.
"Brother Fu, Brother Chen, what happened?" Zhang Yi asked.
"Chairman Zhang, you came just in time," Fu Xiang said angrily, "I have just received a notice that three nights ago, that is, at midnight on January 7, Greater China brazenly crossed the border and raided our military barracks, causing major damage.
casualties!"
ah!?
Zhang Yi was taken aback and even suspected that he had heard wrongly. The two countries started fighting right away, which was surprising.
"Don't listen to his words, Chairman Zhang," Chen Yiyi said angrily, "I have just received an emergency notification. Little China launched a surprise attack, set fire to our military garrison, and sent tens of thousands of troops to launch a large-scale invasion.
Was blocked by our army."
"You were the ones who made the move first. If I lie, I will be struck by thunder!" Fu Xiang shouted, and he swore a poisonous oath, which shows that he has evidence.
"If you say this, you will really be struck by lightning, Chief of Staff," Chen Yiyi sneered. "The report I received is that you were the first to launch the attack, and our army was forced to respond."
The two started to quarrel, and if someone hadn't pulled them away, there would have been a fierce fight.
"Calm down, please calm down!" Zhang Yi said.
His words were still powerful. Chen Yiyi and Fu Xiang stopped arguing and glared at each other.
There were a lot of people at the scene, and the personnel of the two countries were at war with each other and in a tense confrontation.
This situation is not conducive to mediation.
"Brother Fu and Brother Chen, please follow me to the palace. Let's sit down and talk. Others, please go back to their respective places and wait for news." Zhang Yi said.
"I believe Chairman Zhang is fair and just, you go back first." Chen Yiyi said to his staff.
"I also trust Chairman Zhang. When everyone goes back, don't cause new disputes in private." Fu Xiang warned.
The personnel from the two countries dispersed as ordered, with Chairman Zhang intervening. Everyone believed that there should be a fair conclusion. Now no one is unconvinced by Zhang Yi.
…
Xiao Liu was doing business in the bank next door. When he heard the bad news about the fight, he hurried over and asked.
"Why are you fighting? You are not children anymore. Really, can't you talk properly?"
Both Chen Yiyi and Fu Xiang felt embarrassed. They had always respected the princess and knew her fiery personality. They didn't know what to say and would quarrel whenever they spoke.
"Liu'er, this matter is a bit complicated. We need to sit down and discuss it in detail." Zhang Yi said, "Let's go to my study and talk while drinking tea."
"Okay, I'll make tea, and you guys can talk in detail," Xiao Liu said, "You fought in Chang'an, but you didn't give us face. If word spreads, doesn't it appear that Chairman Zhang is incompetent?"
Chen Yiyi and Fu Xiang were both stunned. The princess spoke quickly, making it difficult for the two of them to deal with it, but what she said made sense. A fight in Chang'an would definitely bring disgrace to Chairman Zhang.
"Oh, Your Highness Princess, I was reckless and didn't think of this. I'm sorry." Chen Yiyi apologized.
"That's right, we can't fight in Chang'an, what's the point of it?" Fu Xiang realized.
Zhang Yi led a few people to the palace, thinking that it would be good to have Xiao Liu come forward, as it could ease the tense atmosphere very well.
But the sudden outbreak of civil war between the two countries is really strange!
Could this be a secret mischief by Japanese pirates?
…
The four of them came to Zhang Yi's study. Xiao Liu sat at the tea table and made tea.
Zhang Yi sat opposite Xiaoliu, thinking silently.
Chen Yiyi and Fu Xiang sat on both sides, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
"Have a cup of tea, calm down the anger, and explain the matter clearly. Is it intentional or is it a misunderstanding?" Xiaoliu said as he gave the three people teacups respectively.
"Brother Fu, please speak first. Brother Chen, don't speak for now." Zhang Yi said.
Chen Yiyi nodded. He knew that Zhang Yi would never take sides. The two of them had been sworn friends for a long time. He asked Fu Xiang to speak first to avoid him having any objections.
"The situation is like this, Chairman Zhang, Your Highness the Princess," Fu Xiang sipped his tea and suppressed his anger as he recounted, "At midnight on January 7, Greater China sent an elite force of about a thousand people.
Crossed the Anqing border and rushed into
In the camp of our army, they launched a surprise attack. They took advantage of our army's unpreparedness and killed people and set fires, causing our army to suffer heavy losses. This was just a prelude to the attack. Later, Greater China sent out large groups of troops to launch a fierce attack. Our army was forced to respond, and the war began.
Such an explosion!"
Zhang Yi and Xiaoliu looked at each other. Fu Xiang said it based on the emergency report. He could not lie. According to this, it was indeed Greater China that started the war.
Chen Yi could hardly sit still. He controlled himself forcefully. If it weren't for Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu, he would have exploded long ago.
"So, Brother Chen, what did the notification you received say?" Zhang Yi asked Chen Yiyi with his eyes to calm down.
"The report I received is just the opposite, Chairman Zhang, Her Royal Highness the Princess," Chen Yiyi said impatiently. He opened the report in his hand, looked at the content and said, "At midnight on January 7th, Little China sent special forces to sneak in secretly.
At our army's station, they were all selected fierce warriors, killing and wounding thousands of our troops, and setting fire everywhere. Later, tens of thousands of troops from Little China crossed the Anqing border, and our army launched a self-defense counterattack!"
Xiao Liu was extremely surprised. He squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Yiyi and Fu Xiang, and shouted: "It's weird, you two said exactly the same thing. I think one must be true and the other false!"
"I will guarantee with my head, Your Highness Princess, that our army will not lie about military and state matters!" Fu Xiang promised, patting his chest.
"I swear on my life, Your Royal Highness, our army will never confuse right and wrong on this matter. Our army has always been pragmatic!" Chen Yiyi vowed.
Xiaoliu fainted and looked at her adopted brother with wide eyes. She couldn't tell who was real and who was fake.
Snap!
But Zhang Yi suddenly slapped the tea table, startling the three of them.
