As Lieutenant Colonel Inoue, who was shot by Shimada Shigehito himself, never stood up again, all the troops from Showa Island fell into a strange silence.

No one put down their guns, but no one fired either, and the situation was in a stalemate. Shimada Shigehito seemed to want to persuade them to surrender again, but after personally shooting the subordinate who was carrying out the order, he could not speak.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, things took a turn for the better. Three of Lieutenant Colonel Inoue's confidants from Showa Island walked between the defense force and the Showa Island force.

They shouted that their lieutenant colonel was innocent and "Long live the empire", and then without waiting for Shimada Shigehito to react, he shot himself in front of everyone in front of both sides.

"It's over! Everything is over!" Shimada Shigehito, who missed the best opportunity to shoot due to a moment's hesitation, muttered absentmindedly.

If only Lieutenant Colonel Inoue had died, his subsequent work of calming people down might have been easier. But this somewhat heroic scene before him completely shattered his fantasy of returning to Showa Island and continuing to be the island master.

Shimada Shigehito knew that unless a large number of people on Showa Island were replaced, he would not be able to stay on Showa Island. Even if he was allowed to stay on Showa Island in the future, he probably wouldn't dare to stay for too long.

"It's really exciting. I really got to see a good show today!" Zhou Ke, who was at the lookout tower of the submarine force's base, clearly witnessed what had just happened through a telescope.

"Commander, Showa Island has a good geographical location. Should we take this opportunity to take it over?" A lieutenant colonel behind Zhou Ke suggested.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Shimada Shigehito, the original owner of Showa Island, will never be able to return. In that case, such a Feng Shui treasure land should belong to their submarine unit.

"It's indeed a good place. Our submarines can also dock there. But let's wait a little longer!" Zhou Ke nodded and said.

Although Showa Island is not big, it serves as a material transfer station. There are many tricks in the material transfer, and Shimada Shigehito made a lot of money by manipulating it.

Zhou Ke naturally couldn't let go of this Feng Shui treasure land, but he was not in a hurry at all. With the power behind Shimada Shigehito, the headquarters would definitely send a peacemaker to talk to him.

I believe that at that time, as long as the interests of the headquarters are protected, it should not be too difficult to take Showa Island into your possession.

By then, the jurisdictions of Zhou Ke's naval forces and army forces will be connected, and his extremely money-making smuggling empire will once again reach a new height!

"Commander, why don't you spread some news first? That way there will be fewer competitors." Colonel Jirokuro Ozawa suggested.

Ozawa Jirokuro had studied the profit-sharing plan that Zhou Ke had announced all night. The larger the submarine force's territory, the more actual benefits he could get. Even if he did not continue to serve in the submarine force, there would still be benefits.

Therefore, whether it is due to General Saigo's arrangement or driven by interests, Ozawa Jirokuro will spare no effort to help Zhou Ke take Showa Island in the future.

“Good advice, I believe....”

"boom!"

"Enemy attack! Protect the commander!"

With a crisp gunshot, Zhou Ke was protected by the people around him before he could react. Soon, another chaotic burst of gunfire rang out outside the submarine unit's base.

"Why is there such a fierce gunfight outside?" Zhou Ke asked after returning to the ground under the protection of his men.

At this time, the dense gunfire outside had stopped, but gunshots could still be heard from outside from time to time.

"Reporting to the commander, we don't know the specific reason. Just now, a gunshot was heard from somewhere, and then the patrol troops outside started fighting with the people from Showa Island!" reported a major.

"What about now? What's the situation with the gunshots outside?" Zhou Ke asked.

"The patrol team is cleaning up the scene, and there should be soldiers helping the seriously injured who cannot be treated to relieve their pain." The major analyzed.

"Open the checkpoint! Osamu Osamu, send out all the vehicles and medical soldiers in our base. No matter which side has the wounded, we can't stand idly by!"

Although Zhou Ke did not plan to go out in person, he could not miss the face-saving project. So he handed this glorious and arduous task to Ozawa Jirokuro, who had the highest military rank at the time.

"Hey! I will definitely publicize your kindness to the soldiers!" Ozawa Jirokuro naturally understood Zhou Ke's intention. He agreed and quickly led his men out of the base.

.........

"What's the current situation on Fanren's side?" General Ito asked anxiously to the subordinate who went forward to shoot his nephew.

"Sir, don't worry, it's just a scratch on the arm. Our sharpshooter's accuracy is still very good!" a colonel replied very respectfully.

It was he who had just started the fight at the instruction of General Ito, and during the exchange of fire he had arranged for someone to fire a shot at Shimada Shigehito who was holding a gun on the opposite side through the Showa Island troops in the middle.

"Then I feel relieved. Now that some people have died and Fanren has been removed, both families can save face. Let's leave it at that!"

"By the way, give more compensation to those fallen soldiers, and no one is allowed to intercept them privately!" General Ito thought for a moment and then gave the order.

Without spending a penny, he used the lives of a group of civilians' sons in exchange for Shimada Shigehito's clearing of his name. No matter how General Ito calculated it, this deal was worth it. I believe that Lord Shimada Shigetaro would definitely reward him when he knew about it!

"Hi!" The colonel took the order and left, and General Ito walked towards the generals sent by the headquarters to mediate.

"Ito-kun, the guy from the Shimazu family is so concerned about the soldiers on Showa Island. It seems that he has set his sights on that lucrative transfer station!"

A rear admiral in charge of mediation looked at the submarine troops who were busy saving lives and the wounded, and smiled wryly at General Ito who came to his side.

It was obvious that the submarine forces were determined to capture Showa Island, and they had already begun recruiting personnel in advance. But if General Ito, the uncle of the victim Shimada Shigehito, disagreed, it would be troublesome.

"Here!" General Ito said straightforwardly.

"Mr. Ito is very frank! But if this happens, will you be able to explain to Shimada Shigehito?" The Rear Admiral did not expect that General Ito's answer would be so straightforward.

"Shigehito can't stay in Showa Island anymore, so we have to give it to the submarine unit! However, there is one thing you must insist on, the shareholding and dividends of our headquarters cannot be changed!" General Ito instructed.

"Of course. Showa Island is enough to feed them. I believe that the young commander of the Shimazu family is not a playboy who doesn't understand the ways of the world."

When the Rear Admiral saw that General Ito had decided to hand over Showa Island, he felt relieved and looked at Zhou Ke with a higher opinion of him, who had taken advantage of him from the beginning.

"Report to the Lord! Urgent telegram from the country!" General Ito's secretary ran to his general and several generals in charge of mediation with sweat all over his forehead.

"What's so urgent?" General Ito took the telegram with a frown on his face and just took a look at it, his expression suddenly changed!
