#511 - Asymmetric warfare
With only two or three minutes between departing and returning, Liang Yue was back home with Little Kong.
Alvin and Hinata were still sitting by the lava stove, observing the situation in the city through the holographic sand table.
At this moment, from the God's-eye view provided by the sand table, it could be seen that the ladies scattered throughout Beiping had mostly completed their respective cleanup work, resolving the necessary battles.
Subsequently, they were quickly disappearing into the night with their abundant gains.
Liang Yue personally witnessed Nana and Nan Lixiang unscrupulously ransacking the warehouse of a Japanese trading house for various gold, silver, and heavy metals before leaving.
Their figures were agile and their cooperation was seamless!
However, compared to Liang Yue's method of directly flooding the entire warehouse with lava, the ladies' style was relatively civilized.
They only resolved some of the guards, ransacked for a while, and then began to retreat, without causing much commotion in the city.
In some of the island nation's more loosely guarded strongholds, there wasn't even the slightest unusual sound from beginning to end.
They quietly took action, and then quietly left.
After it was all over, the surrounding people didn't notice anything unusual at all.
Compared to their sudden attack, the island nation, as the recipient, seemed much more amateur, completely unprepared throughout the entire process.
Like dead fish left on the chopping board, they were at their mercy.
No wonder these little devils like to play the game of sudden attacks and undeclared wars on the battlefield. The risk is low, and the gains are simply too great!
Soon, in just seven or eight minutes, the women who had originally gone to various parts of Beiping City, even the slowest ones, had returned.
With excitement on their faces, they shared and displayed their gains from this trip with the others.
As for the merchants and stores who were the victims of the smashing and looting, the island nation's forces behind them took more than an hour to react to the series of bad news.
Frankly speaking, this information transmission efficiency was already quite good!
Feeling unwilling, their diplomatic mission stationed in Beiping City even sent an ambassador overnight, rushing to the Presidential Palace to protest to Yuan Datou.
But Yuan Datou himself was obviously a bit confused about this matter.
In just one night, the island nation's various warehouses, merchants, foreign firms, and even some secret underground strongholds in Beiping City were directly wiped out.
Ordinary people simply couldn't do this kind of thing, but he didn't do it either!
So, feeling somewhat inexplicably confused, and also somewhat inexplicably happy, Yuan Datou had to persuade the Japanese ambassador with kind words.
He said that he would definitely instruct his subordinates to carefully investigate the matter tomorrow.
After that, he drove out the ambassador who disturbed his rest.
The ambassador himself obviously knew that this was just Yuan Datou's excuse to him.
At this time, the island nation, because of the victory in the Russo-Japanese War, had greatly boosted its international prestige, but its own strength was still somewhat insufficient.
Although the entire island nation had exhausted all its efforts, united as one, striving for progress, and working hard to seek development, it would still need at least twenty more years to prepare for launching a war of aggression against China!
At this moment, they temporarily didn't have the confidence to rashly adopt a tough stance towards Yuan Datou and release some substantial threats.
Therefore, without any conclusive evidence, the losses that his side suffered in Beiping City tonight would most likely not be recovered…
Naturally, the Japanese ambassador was extremely angry about this, and the flames of hatred in his heart began to burn uncontrollably.
After leaving the Presidential Palace, he rushed almost immediately to a large mansion in a corner of the outer city.
At this time, those Japanese elite esper personnel who had been summoned by the Japanese Emperor himself were stationed here.
Needless to say, the ambassador's purpose here was naturally to discuss countermeasures with this group of people.
And, how to retaliate against China afterward.
……
Time quickly came to the next morning~
After a night of fermentation, with the rapid spread of people from all walks of life, as of now, more than half of the people in Beiping City already knew about the attack on the island nation's merchants, material warehouses, and other places last night.
In particular, the large warehouse located outside the south wall was actually submerged by a small earthquake and lava eruption.
What's even more peculiar is that the surrounding residents and people were not greatly affected by this.
In people's eyes, this was simply a miracle!
Therefore, for a time, the matter of the Eastern Ocean little devils encountering divine punishment quickly began to spread like wildfire throughout the city.
In addition, with the implementation of Yuan Datou's instructions, various government troops and police stations began to go to the scene to investigate, and a group of idle people also followed to watch.
Within a short half-day, the public opinion began to ferment rapidly, and some newspapers also closely followed the current events, taking this as the front-page headline, with the voices rising higher and higher.
They left a little earlier than him.
The registration location for the exchange meeting was not located in Beiping City, but in a famous Buddhist temple outside the city.
As for why this voluntary registration and participation method was adopted~
This is probably because even Yuan Datou himself may not be clear about how much appeal he has in the eyes of those esper personnel and transcendent masters…
What if, when the competition is approaching, after he issues an administrative order, none of the capable ones come? That would be too embarrassing.
So, for the sake of prudence, Old Yuan had to make two preparations in advance.
On the surface, he voluntarily registered to participate, and a large number of scattered cultivators from the people were selected.
Then, the elite among them were selected to serve as the main force and cannon fodder for this exchange meeting…
The land of China is vast and rich in resources, and there are many outstanding people. There will always be some strange people and strangers who can't stand the loneliness. After learning their skills, they want to make a name and career in this mundane world.
At that time, the official level will naturally give the deserved treatment to those real masters among this group of people, and then take the opportunity to recruit them.
As for those famous sects that are already well-known and have a long tradition, administrative orders must still be issued to summon their elite personnel to respond.
It's best if they can come~ At that time, regardless of whether they win or lose, Datou will of course not hesitate to bestow rewards.
It doesn't matter if they don't come, at least he can make him recognize each other, and then find time to clean them up in the future…
