The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

"Master, this all sounds wonderful, but the problem now is that we can't contact the Dongshan Army team at all, so how can we talk about the good things that will happen next?"

"The most important thing right now is not to negotiate with the Kyushu government to discuss the subsequent compensation and other issues, but we must find a way to contact the Dongshan Army."

"Without the Dongshan Army team to contain the Kyushu warships in that sea area, how can we have a chance to negotiate? After all, everything you said is based on the actions of Tanaka and others!"

"Yes, we know nothing about the current situation of the Dongshan Army Team. If they encounter any accident, everything will be over..."

This seemed to open up a conversation, and everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

With everyone talking at the same time, the whole office became noisy and a little chaotic.

Hiramojiro sat above and rolled his eyes helplessly. The anger that had just been extinguished in his heart was instantly ignited again.

Here we go again. When can I get some peace and quiet? I am so annoyed!

The noise of a group of people arguing non-stop was so powerful that he wanted to plug his ears and close his eyes, so that he wouldn't be bothered by it.

However, this was just a thought. He didn't even have a reason to drive them away, and could only be forced to listen to their endless chatter.

Hei Taojiro is a hypocritical person. He often nags others, and he keeps repeating some things over and over again until the other person's ears are covered with calluses.

He never felt that anything was wrong.

No matter whether the other person likes to listen or not, you have to listen to him.

On the other hand, he himself couldn't stand it for even a minute.

On the surface, Hiramojiro seemed to be listening very seriously and nodded from time to time, which to a great extent gave the ministers the motivation to continue speaking.

In their opinion, since Hirata Momojiro was listening, no matter how much he took in, as long as it had some effect it would be good.

However, in the secretary's opinion, Hiratajiro was completely absent-minded and his mind had long since flown away to who knows where.

This isn't the first time he's done this.

He always refuses to listen to anything that does not interest him, no matter how enthusiastically or excitedly others speak.

These were not within his consideration.

If you don’t want to listen, you don’t want to listen!

About half an hour later, the ministers had not yet finished their discussion. They became more and more pessimistic, trying to assume the worst possible outcome, as if the Dongshan Army had been completely wiped out.

Hiramojiro felt particularly speechless. Although he tried not to listen, there were always a few annoying words that kept drilling into his ears, and it was difficult to ignore them.

If I continue to endure this, I'm afraid I'll have to spend the rest of the day listening to the nagging of the ministers.

He could no longer bear it and was ready to interrupt the person who was speaking.

Just then, the landline in the office suddenly rang.

Everyone fell silent instantly, they only had one thought at this moment.

That is, there is news about the Dongshan Army Team!!!
At this point in time, there was only one possible way to contact Hirata Momojiro, and that was news about the Toyama Army.

The exciting moment has finally arrived.

The ministers chose to remain silent for fear of disturbing Hiratajiro, and they even dared not breathe too loudly.

Hiramojiro was very proud and had a very happy face. He had a feeling that Captain Tanaka must have contacted them on his own initiative!

As soon as the call was connected, the anxious and uncertain voice of the operator on the other end came through.

This is not the one-touch communication function on the warship, but involves calls from unfamiliar devices that need to be transferred.

Could it be that Tanaka and the others used other methods?

Hiramojiro subconsciously sensed something was wrong, and the smile on his lips suddenly faded, seeming somewhat meaningful.

"Master, we just intercepted a call from an unknown device. The other party has been trying to contact us, but we are not sure whether it is from the Dongshan Army team..."

The operator could not decide how to handle the call, so he had to ask President Jiro Hirata for instructions. They acted according to his instructions, and when they were in doubt, they had no authority to make decisions.

"Transfer it over!"

Hiramojiro hesitated for a moment, then decided to answer the call.

The other party could also be Tanaka and his group, so he couldn't risk refusing. No matter what, he had to answer the call.

However, his ominous premonition came true.

The language coming from the other side was not Japanese, but Kyushu. He had just been to the capital of Japan not long ago, so how could he not recognize it?
How could it be Kyushu Mandarin?

Calls transferred from unfamiliar devices must use a communication code.

But, it is obvious that only Captain Tanaka knows this communication code!
Could it be that...they...

The smile on Hiramojiro's face disappeared without a trace, and his heart became extremely heavy. He had a premonition that the sky was falling.

Any language is fine, but it has to be Kyushu Mandarin!

How embarrassing it must be for him as he had just been "blackmailed" not long ago!
He wished he hadn't received the communication.

He had a feeling he was being blackmailed again.

No way? That shouldn't be the case, right? It's also possible that Tanaka and his men stole Kyushu's warships.

But it's impossible! They don't need to use Kyushu Mandarin at this time... It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it. Hirata Momojiro's heart was instantly frozen by nine feet of ice.

He himself did not speak Kyushu Mandarin, so he had to turn on the speakerphone and waved to his secretary to come close and whisper the translation in his ear.

"Excuse me, is this the Neon Country headquarters? This is the Kyushu Army."

A calm and majestic voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the doubts in Hiramojiro's heart and completely extinguishing the glimmer of hope in his heart - that was definitely not Captain Tanaka's voice.

"My name is Hiramo Jiro. What may I do for you?" He tried his best to make his voice sound calm, and even added polite words, which formed a sharp contrast with the fierce words that were about to happen.

He never expected that what he heard next would be so outrageous, which shocked him and made him furious.

Obviously, the other side also has people who are proficient in the Japanese language. Both sides use their own native language, and there are no obstacles in communication. There are no communication difficulties.

"The thing is, we are the army of Kyushu. On the way to that sea area, we happened to encounter the elite team of Neon Country, the Dongshan Army." The other party's voice was calm and clear.

"Their warship seems to have broken down, all its equipment has failed, and it is stranded in the sea. We happened to pass by, so we naturally cannot just stand by and watch them die," the other party continued.

"We can provide help, but not for free. The Neon government needs to pay 2 billion US dollars and provide two latest research results as compensation." As soon as these words came out, Yang Xia's face turned pale instantly. He translated with difficulty, making sure that he had not heard wrongly. The other party's appetite was really too big.

He couldn't help but glance at Hirata's expression. Sure enough, Hirata's face was terribly dark, as if a storm was coming. He could sense that the president might get furious next.

Hiramojiro tried hard to suppress his inner turmoil and asked, "This... is this a joke? How could all the equipment on Neon Country's warships fail? This is simply nonsense!"

"Besides, we are certainly grateful for your willingness to help. But isn't the reward too outrageous? There has never been such a precedent internationally." Hirata Momojiro's voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously trying hard to control his anger.

"Neon and Kyushu have always maintained friendly neighborly relations. Not long ago, we ordered a large amount of materials from your government. Isn't it too much for you to make such unreasonable demands now?" he continued, his voice revealing undisguised anger.

Although he tried to suppress it, his anger was evident.

Anyone could hear the turbulent waves in his heart. He did not suspect that the other party was a fraud, because first of all, the other party spoke obvious Kyushu Mandarin, and secondly, only Captain Tanaka could voluntarily hand over the passcode, and other forces could not decipher it at all.

Combined with the fact that Kyushu did send two warships to that area during this period, the timing was exactly the same. He was more inclined to believe that the other party asked Captain Tanaka to operate on the Kyushu warship, and after using the communication code to contact them, they kicked Captain Tanaka away.

In this case, Captain Tanaka must have some leverage in the hands of the other party. After being threatened, he could only choose the lesser of two evils and was forced to hand over the communication code.

Thinking of this, Hirata Momojiro couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

He knew that if he really wanted something from Kyushu Kingdom, the other party would never give up on this matter and would definitely ask for an exorbitant price like they did last time!

They were too passive now, and had not received any contact from Captain Tanaka. Although Hiramojiro was full of doubts, he did not dare to act rashly. However, one thing was certain, that was that something must have happened to the Dongshan Army team!

Regardless of whether Tanaka and his men really asked Kyushu for help, it was a heavy blow to Hirata Momojiro.

Although the ministers below did not know what exactly happened, they could hear that it was the Kyushu national language.

Since they were not proficient in that level, and Yang Xia was translating in Hiratajiro's ear, they were not clear about the details.

However, from Hirata Momojiro's constantly changing expressions, they could also tell that this was most likely related to the Toyama Army team, and it was obviously not good news.

Therefore, everyone had a solemn look on their faces. Although they were full of questions in their hearts, they did not dare to disturb Hirata Momojiro's communication on this occasion. They could only keep their questions in their hearts and pay special attention even if they did not understand.

Everyone's attention was focused on Hiramojiro, not even wasting time turning their heads. They were eager to know what had happened and how the Dongshan Army team was doing now.

Although they couldn't understand Kyushu language, they could still understand what Hirata Momojiro said.

Even though the leader tried to keep his voice down, the people who were closer to him were still able to deduce what had happened based on what he said.

Their faces were as ugly as Hiratajiro's. They opened and closed their mouths, wanting to tell the people around them, but they didn't dare to speak out loud at this time and could only keep it in their hearts.

After Hiramojiro finished speaking, he was still unsure of the other party's attitude and could only wait for a reply. He felt that the other party's voice sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he was not sure.

At this time, the secretary reminded him: "Mr. President, I know who this person is. He is the commander-in-chief of the Kyushu Army - Yang Xia!" After hearing Yang Xia's reminder, Hiratajiro suddenly realized that he had negotiated with the other party before and was severely threatened and blackmailed.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the location changed and he was blackmailed again.

Different time, different place, different events, but the characters are the same, the feng shui has not changed. They are still at a disadvantage and can only improvise based on the information revealed by the other party and guess the actual situation.

The worst case scenario is that what the other party said is true. The Dongshan Army team has fallen into a desperate situation and has no choice but to ask for help from the Kyushu Army.

However, there may be another scenario.

Suppose that the Dongshan Army team did encounter unsolvable difficulties, but did not ask Jiuzhou Kingdom for help. Yang Xia accidentally learned of this fact and took the opportunity to blackmail them.

Because he knew that the Dongshan Army Squad was a target that the Japanese government would never give up, so he dared to ask for an exorbitant price so blatantly.

Relatively speaking, this was a better situation. In Hirata's opinion, he could ask for help from anyone, even pirates, but not the Kyushu government army.

Because they are even more exaggerated and terrifying than pirates!
The last incident left a deep shadow of humiliation in Hirata Momojiro's heart. He didn't want to deal with the Kyushu government from the bottom of his heart, especially when he was at a disadvantage.

No matter which force the Dongshan Army asks for help, the other party will not ask for such a high price.

This is far beyond the scope of compensation, and the other party is simply taking this opportunity to blackmail us.

Of course, to a certain extent, this coincides with what Hiramojiro and others discussed in their previous meeting about "taking the initiative to help", except that the positions of both parties have been switched.

The other party seemed to have anticipated Hirata Momojiro's doubts, and directly revealed his identity and explained the cause and effect of the matter.

"I am Yang Xia, the commander-in-chief of the Kyushu Army. We have met before, and you should still remember me, right?" The other party's voice was calm and confident.

"There is absolutely no need for us to lie about this issue. As for why the reward is so high, there is a reason..." Then, Yang Xia began to narrate the incident in detail.

"The Dongshan Army Squadron..." he said slowly, and told them in detail how Captain Tanaka pretended to be from the West Asian military but was discovered by them at a glance, as well as the subsequent sneak attack.

According to him, Captain Tanaka attacked Kyushu and demanded 2 billion US dollars and two latest research results. They just restated the request on this basis, without any exaggeration. (End of this chapter)
