Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 470 Conflict

  Fuso, Nagasaki

Nagasaki Prefecture is located in the southernmost part of the Fuso country, on the west side of Kyushu Island. It is a concave bay topography. Since the Edo period (1603-1867), it has been the only foreign trade port of the Fuso country. It is Omura, Hirado, and Island. The territory of the original and other princes.

  Since ancient times, this place has been the gateway to Fusang.

  As early as the Sui and Tang dynasties, many of the Fusang country’s envoys to the Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty envoys and scholars set sail from Nagasaki to China Shenzhou. In the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, a large number of merchants from coastal provinces such as Fujian and Zhejiang came here to do business, and there were about 10,000 Chinese who stayed for a long time.

  They established Tangren Town in Hirado, Fukue and other places in Nagasaki, which became a place where Chinese people live together.

The huge "Blue Dragon" and "White Tiger" heavy cruisers are parked one after another in the azure Nagasaki Harbor. The tall steel triangular masts are hung with flags flying in the wind, and the huge muzzles are covered with gun jackets. , The icy steel hull exudes the coldness that no one is close to, and it looks full of shock.

Not far away are four 2250-ton Seagull II modified ocean-going destroyers. The four warships belonging to the Borneo Fleet are "Parrot", "Woodpecker", "Cardinal" and "Pheasant". The huge heavy cruisers are small and exquisite in comparison, and they can barely be incorporated into the main fleet for long voyages.

  Along with the main fleet’s goodwill visit, there was a 6,500-ton fast coal ship, the “Borneo Postman”, carrying high-quality bituminous coal from Australia for the fleet’s long-distance voyages.

Nagasaki Prefecture is a seaside city along the concave bay. The urban buildings gradually climbed up along the mountain. The streets are full of typical hibiscus-style wooden buildings. Men and women in kimonos come and go, with wooden clogs on their feet. "Qua da" sounded, it looked peaceful and peaceful, with an exotic atmosphere.

   "Captain Navigator, these Japanese men are so frustrated! All of them are like three-inch dices without growing up. Is there a problem with Feng Shui in this place?"

   "Hahaha...no wonder the women here want to run out, it seems that this is the reason!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

  Several sailors laughed wildly. The tall and thin Navy Lieutenant He Jiaben rolled his eyes helplessly and looked at the low Japanese-style wooden houses on both sides of the road. An invisible sense of superiority emerged spontaneously.

  He Jiaben just returned from his studies at the Manchester Naval Academy in the United Kingdom last year. After graduation, he spent two years as an intern on the naval vessels of the British Empire. He spent a total of five years before and after his stay in the UK. During this period, he married his junior sister Zhu Qiao'er and had a son.

  When the He family returned to Australia with high spirits, they discovered that the former little brother Li Shuanzhu had risen up like an aphrodisiac, with two silver stars on his shoulders, and became a principal officer in the army.

  This has plunged He Jiagou into deep self-doubt. What have I missed in the past few years?

  I missed the expansion of the army, missed the explosive growth period of the Queensland Overseas Territory, missed the epic battle of the East Indies...

   "Captain Navigator, Waguo is Nanyang sister's base camp. How can you not feel it since you are here? The biggest red light district is in front of you. It has been suffocated for more than a month. Let's go and have a good time."

The sailors have long been unable to bear it and are eager to try. He Jiaben insists on his identity, but he is unwilling to fool around with them and cause a disease of flowers and willows, so he slightly said with his jaw; Don’t tolerate it. I just want to stroll around to see if there are any novel souvenirs."

   "What good things can there be in this ghost place in the country of Japan, it is better to drink flowers and wine."

   "Go ahead, I won't be with you."

  He Jiaben shook his head. There are beautiful wives and children at home, and these Japanese women can't attract him the slightest interest.

A group of people talked and walked. On the street, you could see a group of Queensland sailors. They were all fleet officers and soldiers on vacation. They played entertainment under the leadership of their respective officers. After disembarking, many people went straight to the red light area where the brothel brothel was concentrated. .

On both sides of the road, you can see Japanese samurai wearing shabby kimonos, gathering in twos and threes, looking at the fleet officers and soldiers talking and laughing loudly with cold eyes, and some Fuso police officers in black clothes standing on the side of the street, like electric wires. The pole has no sense of existence.

  The officers and soldiers of the fleet wandered around without hesitation about these noises.

  Fuso people with short stature would stand down and bow to salute when they saw them. They behaved extremely submissively. The officers and soldiers enjoyed superhuman treatment in Nagasaki prefecture, and at all they did not pay attention to the down-and-out Japanese samurai.

  After breaking up with several sailors, He Jiaben turned into a shop along the street. This is a shop selling Gifu lanterns. Gifu lanterns were produced in Gifu Prefecture and spread widely in Fuso during the Meiji period.

  The shop is filled with a dazzling array of Gifu lanterns, ranging from fist-large to half-person tall, with Chinese characters written on it with a brush, which is exquisite and unique, and has a unique charm.

  He Jiaben admired it with great interest, and the pudgy shop owner stood by his side respectfully, not daring to disturb the interest of the foreigner.

After years of education of the British navy aristocracy, the white navy uniforms of the He family themselves are ironed without a trace of wrinkles. The leather shoes under their feet are shiny and can be seen by people. The silver-rimmed belt is hung with a command knife and a gun. He looks so energetic and extraordinary.

  Looking around with his hand, He Jiaben had no intention of communicating with the shop owner. He did not speak Japanese. Obviously, the chunky shop owner could not speak English either. The exchanges between the two parties were purely talking about chickens and ducks.

at this time

There was a noise from outside the street that caught He Jiaben’s attention. He frowned and walked out the door to look. Not far away, a group of sailors were confronting more than a dozen Fuso warriors. The two sides looked fierce and refused to give in to each other. .

Realizing his responsibilities, He Jiaben strode over without hesitation and shouted loudly, "Hey, what are you doing? I warn you not to make trouble. The Military Law Department is not a joke. ."

At this time, the crowd in front of the crowd was in a commotion. I don’t know who took the lead. After hearing a scream, the Japanese samurai pulled out their knives. The white blades flickered and the blood spattered. The black-clothed Japanese policeman blew his whistle. The sharp sound resounded through the streets and alleys.

   "Damn, I'm looking for death!"

  There was no time to think about it. He Jiaben only felt a rush of blood rushing to his forehead, he immediately drew his pistol from his waist and rushed up, and shot a desolate warrior who was chasing the sailor.

  "Papa......" After two gunshots

  Two bright blood flowers bloomed on the chest of this down-and-out warrior, clutching his chest, he fell to the ground and died.

  The gunshots awakened the other Fuso warriors. They immediately followed He Jiaben, who was rushing in stride, and let the others raise their samurai swords.

   "Papa Papa..."

He Jiaben fired several shots and knocked down two people and wounded one. While the Fuso Warrior was unsure, he grabbed the wounded sailor and quickly retreated, and asked in a hurry; "What are you doing? Fighting?"

   "Sir, these **** blackmail us."

   "Can you still go, get out of here."

  He Jiaben pushed hard and pushed the wounded sailor away a few steps. At this time, the down-and-out samurai who had been stunned by the gunfire had reacted and continued to surround them with sharp swords in their hands.

   "Stop, otherwise I will shoot." He Jiaben quickly withdrew from the empty Colt revolver shell, filled it with new bullets, and held the gun in his palm.

  Every Australian man is a skilled gunman. They are all good marksmanship practiced by riding horses and rabbits in the wild. This has become a characteristic pastime of Queensland residents. Every holiday, they will call friends to go to the wild to go hunting.

   Facing the black hole's muzzle, these ferocious down-and-out warriors hesitated, grunting and shouting loudly in their mouths, and they didn't know what they were talking about. They might be courageous with each other.

He Jiaben looked at the wounded sailors who had fallen in a pool of blood, and was full of anger. He raised his hand and fired a shot at the fierce warrior who was forced to the forefront. This shot hit his head and shot his head. .

  The heavy corpse collapsed, red and white flowing all over the ground.

"My lord, please don't shoot. I will let them put down the murder weapon in their hands. No one will be harmed. Please don't let the situation expand..." A black-clothed policeman rushed over, speaking loudly in English, and he followed several others behind him. Policeman holding a thin wooden stick in hand.

  He Jiaben glanced at it with a cold look, but did not answer, the muzzle still pointed steadily forward.

  Anyone dares to act rashly, he doesn’t mind sending a few more to hell.

  This is a **** policeman who has been surrounded by ghosts all the time. When a partial conflict occurs, no person can be seen. If you don't know or have a secret connection, you really deceive a fool!

   "Are you a policeman? Let these thugs put down their murder weapon immediately, otherwise I can't guarantee that I can resist... the urge to explode their pig's head with a shot." He Jiaben shouted sharply.

  "My lord, please calm down, I promise that no more unreasonable things will happen, which will cause you trouble."

   "Trouble you, who are you?"

"I am Yushin Yamada, the patrol officer in Ximending Town, Nagasaki Prefecture. This is really a misunderstanding. We will solve it immediately. Please, please give us this opportunity." This Fuso policeman who looks like a small boss, "Ka" The moment came a 90-degree bow and salute.

   After standing up, Yamada Yushin screamed at a group of down-and-out warriors holding murder weapons, and ordered them to take back their katana.

These black-clad police officers are very useful to deal with the local downturned samurai. Amidst the sound of "Hayi" and "Hayi" "trouble you", the originally fierce downturned samurai put away their sharp swords and pierced their swords. Into the sheath.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Yoshinobu Yamada, are you kidding me?" He Jiaben's face was gloomy, dripping water, and sternly reprimanded at the English-speaking policeman Yoshinobu Yamada; "I ask them to throw away their hands. Kneeling down and grabbing the weapon, confessing the culprit behind instructing them to do so, instead of putting the knife in the scabbard, as if nothing happened, it makes me suspect that you have a tacit understanding of each other."

"Dear sir, please forgive me for not being able to do this." Yamada Yushin led several policemen behind him, bowing and saluting at 90 degrees, and said with a humble expression; "According to Fuso tradition, a samurai cannot be handed over even if he is dead. The sword in your hand means an indelible shame. Please forgive me, please."

  "I can’t forgive it. This is a blatant brutality. The majesty of the British Empire cannot be provoked. You are playing with fire, and the consequences are absolutely beyond Nagasaki County’s responsibility." He Jiaben roared.

The Queensland Goodwill Visit Fleet is flying the Red Mountain Dragon Flag. Under normal circumstances, the Pozi flag will not be hoisted. This is only an expression of the identity of the British Overseas Autonomous Territory. Any offense to the Queensland Fleet is an offense to the British Empire. There is no doubt about this.

  He Jiaben has studied in the UK for many years. He has a deep understanding of the arrogance and sensitivity of the British. He knows that the violence in the downtown area of ​​Nagasaki Prefecture today is enough to turn into a war.

  The majesty of the British Empire cannot be provoked. This sentence is not just talking, it is really deadly...
