Chapter 473 Doubting Life (Third update, please subscribe)
Night fell.

Even in Tokyo, a city that is still devastated, after dark, the neon lights in the Ginza area have taken over the night sky, turning the place into a nightless sky.

Pedestrians and cars passed by under the neon lights, and the windows facing the street displayed some colorful goods--both Nanyang products and American products. On the roadside, some scantily clad women flirted with passers-by, and the sound of flirtatiousness flowed all over the street.

In some dance halls near Ginza, provocatively dressed dancers accompanied occupying troops in military uniforms in and out of the dance halls. The occupying forces squandered worthless yen, while women exchanged their youthful and energetic bodies for money.

This is Tokyo. Amidst the ruins, some areas still maintain abnormally prosperous Tokyo.

The night is dark and the prosperity is abnormal.

The color of the night is ambiguous.

In the dim room, three bodies were intertwined on the big bed.

The phone rang in the darkness, its harsh and monotonous ringing breaking the silence in the room.

The ringing made Jia Wentao wake up on the bed. He lifted the thigh that was pressing on him, reached for the bedside lamp, and turned on the light.

It's the deputy manager of the Soviet-Japanese Trading Company, Sergey Ivanovich. That guy has been operating in Tokyo, just like him.

"Now?"

Then Jia Wentao said again.

"Damn it, it's one year, one year after another, it's been three years, if I stay here any longer, my waist will be gone, I'm afraid it will be destroyed!"

Jia Wentao was stunned and asked.

"Hello, I'm Jia Wentao..."

Looking at the twin sisters on the bed, Jia Wentao couldn't help but curse.

"Yeah, I hope I didn't wake you!"

"I hope I didn't wake you!"

"Sergey, it's only one o'clock in the morning!"

"Why are they here?"

Patting his head, which was a little dizzy due to hangover, Jia Wentao vaguely remembered that he seemed to have drunk too much yesterday and seemed to have brought a pair of beautiful Japanese flower girls to the hotel.

"Sergey?"

"My friend, this matter is very urgent, which is why I woke you up. I think it is necessary for us to meet now."

After squinting his eyes, he realized that he was at home, and there were two women lying on the large bed.

There's no way around it. Working in Japan involves risks, but it's definitely a waste of money!

The annoying ringtone of the phone was still ringing, so I picked up the receiver.

"Mr. Jia?"

He looked at the time sleepily. One thirty-five in the morning. A phone call at this time will indeed wake people up.

"I drank too much yesterday!"

The man on the other end of the phone asked in somewhat stiff Chinese.

"Very urgent?"

Ten minutes later, in a nearby park, Jia Wentao saw Sergey again. As soon as the two met, Jia Wentao said.

"Sergey, what is the urgent matter that requires us to meet at this time? I can tell you with certainty that there are no people of ours in the north!"

Almost subconsciously, Jia Wentao thought that the other party had caught the bureau's hidden line in the north. Who knows? "It does not matter."

Sergey shook his head and said.

"What's important is that Moscow is very eager to know how far you plan to go."

"what?"

Jia Wentao asked.

"The fishing area is the fishing area designated by the League President."

Sergey asked.

"Last night at 20 o'clock, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs replied to the Tokyo Alliance President, declaring that you resolutely do not recognize the fishing zones designated by the Alliance President, and believe that the fishing areas designated by the Alliance President without authorization seriously infringe on the interests of the Far East Allies. In order to ensure In the interests of the allies, your naval fleet will go north to protect the fishing industry and ensure that Japanese fishing boats can fish in the area designated in 47 years!"

Sergey finished these words almost in one breath, and then stared at Jia Wentao, his brown eyes full of questions.

As we all know, Nanyang has always been a hardcore supporter of Americans, but now, Nanyang has slapped the United States hard. Faced with such changes, Moscow is of course very concerned.

Why was it not inquired through the diplomatic department? This naturally has Moscow’s considerations.

"Oh, you're talking about this."

Jia Wentao said nonchalantly.

"Sergey, if your protest is ineffective, then all that is left is to speak with cannons. Our official attitude is very clear. The Allied President has no right to harm the interests of allies or even infringe on the sovereignty of other countries. Expand fishing areas.”

Lighting a cigarette, Jia Wentao looked at Sergey and said,
"To be honest, I'm really curious, why do you guys just casually say "there is no need to expand the area"?"

"This one……"

Sergey said.

"This is an issue that Moscow needs to consider."

What Moscow?

It is clear that Russia also needs to expand its fishing area in the north. Japan is starving in the south, but it does not mean that life in the north is easy... In fact, it is still very easy. After all, Hokkaido is not only Japan's largest pastoral area, but also Japan's largest granary. Its cultivated land area accounts for one-quarter of Japan's. In addition, the population in the north is only over 1900 million and the control of grain prevents profiteers from raising prices. Therefore, compared to the south, the north is now more like paradise, so much so that many hungry and cold Japanese have fled to the Russian-occupied areas in the north.

But this does not mean that North Japan does not need fish, in fact, in order to be able to compete with the United States in Japan. The Russians are also considering how to reduce the economic burden of regulating Japan and help it achieve economic "self-sufficiency" as soon as possible, and expanding fishing areas is one of the options. It's just that because its expanded fishing area was limited to the Pacific Ocean, it did not cause protests from the outside world.

"If a Japanese fishing boat breaks into your fishing protection area, are you sure you will open fire?"

Sergey asked expectantly.

In fact, this is what Moscow is looking forward to. If Nanyang breaks with the United States... Moscow is very much looking forward to exerting influence in Nanyang.

"We will use all available means to force Japanese fishing boats to leave those waters."

Even though he said so, Jia Wentao himself was not sure. Even the reason why he drank too much yesterday was because of this news. He really couldn't figure out what Chang'an was thinking and why he suddenly dealt with this in such a drastic way. Something?

In fact, according to Jia Wentao, even if the "Hejiafu" rammed and sank several Japanese fishing boats, it would not have any impact. Protest?

The Japanese will indeed protest, but they can only protest to the Far East Committee to protest the "atrocities" of Nanyang fishermen, and at the same time seek help from the Alliance President, but will the Alliance President help them?

The League President just sent a note to Nanyang asking Nanyang to restrain the fishermen. As for compensation and apology, there is no need to think about it. After all, Japan is not a country at all. Even if the League President wants to help them, what can he do? ?
This matter itself can be reduced from a big deal to a trivial matter.

But now, Nanyang's reaction was so intense that Jia Wentao even doubted his life, wondering if Nanyang was on the wrong team. After all, to a large extent, Nanyang is on the side of the alliance, so why did it suddenly turn against it?
It was here that Jia Wentao heard a sentence that made him doubt life even more.

Only heard Sergei say to him.

"Manager Jia, please tell Chang'an that we will fully support your just actions!"
