With the leadership of Jiro Yanagawa, the journey was naturally unobstructed. Although the Japanese troops on some piers felt strange when they saw the combination of Ye Feng and others, no one had the courage to come and ask.

The highest rank of the Japanese officers in charge of the Shigguan Wharf is only Nakasa, one level lower than Jiro Yanagawa. In addition, after the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, some Chinese who defected to the Japanese army often walked with Japanese officers.

Ye Feng and others were naturally regarded as traitors by everyone. A Chinese coolie who was carrying a bag. Seeing Ye Feng and the others, he even secretly spitted a sip of water, his eyes were full of disdain, and he must be scolding Ye Feng and others in his heart.

More than ten minutes later, Jiro Yanagawa took Ye Feng and others to the boarding place of an American ship. The star and striped flags hung on the ship told everyone that this was an American ship, and some blonde and blue-eyed Americans could be seen on the ship.

The American at the entrance of the ship was full of impatientness after seeing Jiro Yanagawa. Obviously, the Americans had a bad impression of the Japanese. If they had not stopped at the Shigaguan Pier and needed to deal with the Japanese, the American would definitely not have met Jiro Yanagawa here.

Several people said a few words at the boarding port, and the American took Ye Feng and others to the boat. Jiro Yanagawa watched Ye Feng and others get on the boat at the boarding port.

Not long after Ye Feng and others boarded the ship, Jiro Yanagawa was about to leave. A Japanese colonel led a large group of Japanese military police to trot all the way, with the target of Jiro Yanagawa.

"Kun Yanagawa, let's go back and explain carefully. Who did you send away just now?" The Japanese colonel sneered.

"Colonel Nakata. I am following the orders of Prince Hirahiko Asakamiya. Do you also want to explain to you?" Jiro Yanagawa was very calm and was not afraid at all. Anyway, Prince Hirahiko Asakamiya was the backing, so why are you afraid?

Nakada Yuichi was slightly stunned. It was actually under the order of Asakamiya Hirohiko, but soon Nakada Yuichiko laughed. Jiro Yanagawa was definitely not under the order of Asakamiya Hirohiko. You must know that Asakamiya Hirohiko is far away in Japan now.

"Yanagawa, I hope I won't make things difficult for me. I have asked the commander-in-chief Matsui, let's go with us."

Upon hearing this, Jiro Yanagawa spread his hands and let's go. Anyway, Ye Feng and others have already boarded the ship. Yuichi Nakada will definitely not conflict with the Americans. He will be on the ship and will take Ye Feng and others down.

Seeing Jiro Yanagawa cooperated so much, Nakada Yuichi was slightly stunned again. However, with a wave of his hand, the two military police stood on both sides of Jiro Yanagawa, and walked side by side with Jiro Yanagawa to the outside of the dock.

Even the Japanese military police, even after being ordered by Matsui Ishione, these military police did not dare to forcefully tie Jiro Yanagawa, after all, Jiro Yanagawa was a Japanese colonel. He also had a close relationship with Hitohiko Asakamiya.

However, although he did not do anything to Jiro Yanagawa. However, Yuichi Nakata did not want to let Ye Feng and others go on board. In Yuichi Nakata, as long as Ye Feng and others were caught, there would naturally be evidence.

"Get on board the ship and search carefully." Yuichi Nakada waved his hand and ordered the Japanese military police to force the ship to search.

However, the Americans on the ship naturally would not let these Japanese military police board the ship for searching. Americans also want to save face. How could people get on board the ship for searching at will?

Suddenly, many Americans blocked the boarding port and prevented the Japanese military police from boarding the ship. A person who looked like an American captain even shouted loudly in English: "Don't move, this is an American merchant ship, you can't get on the ship to check."

Suddenly, the whole scene was tense.

Jiro Yanagawa, who had not yet walked far, immediately shouted sternly when he saw this: "Nakata, you stupid pig, are you going to let the two countries go to war?"

As a Japanese colonel, he is also a senior officer and can also access some core documents of the Japanese army. He probably knows the plans of some base camps. At this stage, Japan has absolutely no intention of going to war with the United States. Even if it is to start a war, it will happen two or three years later.

Seeing that the United States is so tough, Yuichi Nakada is also in a difficult situation. Originally, Yuichi Nakada thought that the United States would not stop him by forcibly sending people on the ship. After all, this is a controlled area of ​​the Japanese army. Unexpectedly, the Americans were so tough.

Go up, or not?

Nakada Yuki was stunned for a moment, and thought for a long time before waved his hand unwillingly, ordering the Japanese military police who were about to board the ship to retreat.

Seeing that the military police had retreated, Jiro Yanagawa couldn't help laughing.

As for what happens after you go back, Jiro Yanagawa doesn't need to worry at all. I believe Matsui Ishione dares to do anything to him. After all, Asakamiya Hikari is the prince of Japan and the uncle of the emperor. There is a saying in China that it depends on the owner to beat a dog.

On American merchant ship.

Ye Feng and others were taken to several high-end warehouses, which was the result of Ye Feng spending a gold bar. Originally, Americans arranged Ye Feng and others in low-end warehouses, but money could make the devil push the mill, let alone Americans who put money first.

Seeing that he felt much more comfortable, Ye Feng felt much better. He could even see the river outside through the porthole. It was afternoon, and it would be dark in about two hours.

"Host, I seem to have discovered us just now, and I want to get on the boat to search." Zhao Long said.

Ye Feng curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Just like the little Japanese, if they dare to come up to search, they will scare these Americans. However, the Americans are not scared. They have a strong sense of territory and sovereignty, and they will not let the little Japanese come up even if they fight to the death."

Ye Feng and Zhao Long chatted for a few words, and an American knocked in the door and said in skillful English: "Hello sir, we originally planned to drive the boat at 5 pm this afternoon, but I'm very sorry, the departure time will be postponed until 10 pm."

After hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

After the American explained for a long time, Ye Feng roughly understood. It turned out that the Japanese were about to board the ship and search for it forcibly. The Americans were very angry. The American captain took several people to the US Embassy in Nanjing and raised serious protests to the Japanese side.

Yuichi Nakada, who was leading the team to force the search, never expected that such a simple thing almost caused a diplomatic incident.

Soon, Matsui Ishigen knew about this. Matsui Ishigen criticized Nakada Yuichi, and scolded him so hard that he was very angry.

Staying on the boat is very boring, and Ye Feng cannot get off the boat. There are many Japanese troops on the dock, so it is better to stay on the boat.

The sky gradually darkened, and I had dinner early on the boat. Ye Feng took Zhao Long and Chen Ruoyun to the deck. Looking at the shimmering river surface and the lights, Ye Feng thought to himself, "A great Nanjing has become the hands of the Japanese, and I will definitely destroy the Japanese and restore Nanjing."

"Horse, look at the distance. What a big warship, it's not a small Japanese cruiser." Zhao Long suddenly saw a steamer coming from the far river surface and couldn't help but say to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng looked up and saw that the river in the distance was obviously a small Japanese fleet, consisting of a light cruiser of about five to six thousand tons and three destroyers. In addition, there were several auxiliary cruisers transformed from merchant ships and several gunboats.

Cruisers are divided into light cruisers and heavy cruisers. Both concepts were defined in different arms restriction treaties after World War I.

The Washington Treaty stipulates that the main gun of a heavy cruiser shall not exceed 8 inches (203mm), the main gun shall not exceed 10, the displacement shall not exceed 10,000 tons, and the speed shall not exceed 35 knots; the main gun of a light cruiser shall not exceed 6.1 inches (155mm), the main gun shall not exceed 19, the displacement of the entire ship shall not exceed 10,000 tons, and the speed shall not exceed 35 knots.

During the actual implementation, Britain and the United States complied with this regulation better, Germany hit the edge and designed and built the so-called German-class pocket battleship (actually regarded as heavy cruisers). Japan significantly broke through the restrictions of this treaty and built the Miao-level, Kaohsiung-class and the highest-level heavy cruisers, with displacements of about 12,000 to 15,000 tons. The only thing that meets the regulations is the caliber and quantity of the main gun.

In addition to light cruisers and heavy cruisers, there is a smaller cruiser that is auxiliary cruiser, which is actually merchant ships that quickly assemble artillery after the outbreak of war. These ships are used to provide protection for other merchant ships, but because of their slow speed, weak firepower and weak armor, they are actually almost useless.

This small fleet of Japanese troops in the distance obviously used the light cruiser as the flagship, and then was accompanied by three destroyers, several auxiliary cruisers and small gunboats.

Unexpectedly, he could see a Japanese fleet. Ye Feng thought in his mind that the current Yangtze River Basin, especially the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, has basically been controlled by the Japanese army. Japanese warships often appear in the Yangtze River. If he could mess with his family, it would be great.

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, the Chinese Navy had nine cruisers, namely the "Haiqi", "Haichen", "Hairong", "Haichou", "Pinghai", "Ninghai", "Yixian", "Yingrui" and "Zhaohe". After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it was ordered to set up a blockade line on the Yangtze River channel in Jiangyin, Jiangsu.

However, on September 25, four old cruisers including Haiqi, Haichen, Hairong, and Haichou were sunk on the main blocking line and acted as auxiliary blocking lines. These four cruisers sank without fighting! Almost at the same time, in the fierce battle with Japanese aircraft at the same location, the three cruisers "Pinghai", "Ninghai" and "Yixian" also sank one after another.

On October 23, the cruiser "Yingrui" retreated from Jiangyin to Caishiji, Anhui was also sunk by Japanese aircraft. In late September of the same year, another cruiser "Zhaohe" was sunk by Japanese aircraft during a fierce battle at the Humen Fortress in Guangdong. At this point, all the cruisers of the Chinese Navy were gone and died at the bottom of the water.

Because the Chinese navy is basically in name only, Japanese warships blatantly routed in the Yangtze River, especially in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. If they could teach Japanese warships a lesson, they might be a little restrained.
