Fujita Gang could threaten and coerce them, but going to war with a powerful country that was not inferior to Japan was not something that middle-level officers like them could decide. Japan's military budget was tight now, and even their expenses to maintain their combat readiness depended on snatching from China. Once they started a war with France, Japan's economic system would completely collapse. Moreover, France's naval strength was not inferior to that of the Japanese. They were completely capable of attacking Japan directly from Australia. They had to be fully prepared to go to war with them.
This responsibility could not be borne by Takeda Masao, the head of intelligence, nor could Fujita Gang, the colonel. Even the Japanese Army Command was the same. The only one who could make this decision was the Japanese Cabinet. However, they were suspected of favoritism in the matter of Watanabe Jiro. Not to mention the Japanese Cabinet, even the Army Command would punish them severely for their actions.
The Japanese were extremely tough on the Chinese because China's economic strength was backward and could not pose an effective threat to Japan. However, in the face of the powerful France, they could only admit defeat. Fujita Gang and Takeda Masao could only admit defeat in order to appease Dulko.
Not only did he hand over a Japanese soldier who looked very similar to Watanabe, but he also handed over a few Japanese ronin to replace the escaped ninjas. In the end, he also paid a lot of money to calm the matter, allowing the Japanese merchants to do business normally and the people to move freely in Shanghai.

"Hahahaha, Ah Fu's death was worth it. I didn't expect the French and Japanese to fight so hard for a Japanese. In just ten days, hundreds of Japanese died.”
"That's right, that's right. The Japanese are so arrogant, but they still cower when they see the French.”
"I want to laugh when I see those Japanese with their tails between their legs.”
"Hmph, the Japanese are just bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If the Beiyang government were a little tougher, let's see if the Japanese would dare to bully us Chinese people like this.”
The patriots of the Jingwu Gate felt proud and elated, but Luo Xiaochuan was secretly regretful. Watanabe Jiro was not important in the original novel. He did not expect Takeda Masao and Fujita Gang to fall out with the French because of him. In the end, they finally found out the identity of this guy, but he had already been transferred out of Shanghai. Otherwise, Luo Xiaochuan would have sneaked into the Japanese Territory to kill this guy and make Fujita Gang and Takeda Masao die without a burial place.
Now that the Japanese had admitted defeat, even the witness Luo Xiaochuan felt uneasy. They couldn't do anything to the French for the time being, but they would definitely find a way to vent their anger on the Jing Wu Sect. Although the conflict with the French had just subsided and the Japanese would stop for a while, the conspiracy against the Jingwu Sect would not stop there.
Luo Xiaochuan was not a person who liked to use his brain. Even if he used his brain, he would spend most of his time coaxing girls into bed. It was too tiring to fight against the Japanese all day long. If he had a choice, Luo Xiaochuan would definitely bring his men to fight the Japanese openly instead of always scheming.
However, between countries, the enemy was strong and they were weak. The weak countries had no right to choose. Even if they knew the Japanese's conspiracy, the Jing Wu Sect had no choice but to counter them because they had no capital to retreat.
"Junior brother, you must remember that you must be merciless when facing your enemies. Don't think about benevolence, righteousness, and morality when killing your enemies. As long as you can kill your enemies, you can use any method.”Luo Xiaochuan took advantage of Huo Yuanjia's recuperation to brainwash his only son.
"Sixth Junior Brother, Master will be angry if you do this.”Liu Zhensheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Luo Xiaochuan's brainwashing. Although he agreed with Luo Xiaochuan's statement that one shouldn't be bound by rules when dealing with enemies, if it wasn't for Luo Xiaochuan's idea this time, the Elite Martial Sect would have suffered a loss. However, now that you brainwashed a twelve-year-old child like this, aren't you afraid that your master will come after you after he comes out of seclusion?
With the help of the famous doctor, Kong Boda, his master's chronic poison was not difficult to cure. In fact, his master's poison had already been cured a few days ago. However, this time, the poison had injured his liver. Huo Yuanjia had no choice but to slowly recuperate under Kong Boda's improved medicinal bath and medicinal cuisine every day. He hoped that his body would recover before the end of next month.
Among the disciples of the Essence Martial Sect, Luo Xiaochuan did not have many that caught his eye. Other than Liu Zhensheng and Chen Zhen, who were both at the peak of Ming Jin, there was only Huo Dongge before him. Other than helping his master practice martial arts and learn medicine, Luo Xiaochuan was brainwashing Huo Dongge and helping him reestablish his values and worldview. His age was the fastest time to learn things. In two months, when his master finished his closed-door training, he would not be able to change anything. By then, the next generation of the Jingwu Sect would definitely be the vanguard of the resistance against the Japanese, and the style of the Jingwu Sect would be closer to Chinese martial arts as they grew older.
"Sixth Junior Brother, Master once said that your strength is not inferior to Eldest Senior Brother. Why don't we practice?”Chen Zhen was a martial arts fanatic. He had challenged Luo Xiaochuan just as his arm injury had healed.
"Alright, Fifth Senior Brother, please show mercy.”Luo Xiaochuan was already used to pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. In addition, he only practiced martial arts and did not use his hands, so he did not stretch his muscles and bones. Chen Zhen's request was exactly what he wanted.
The Huo Family Fist was also known as the Five Edge Plum Blossom Fist. Its origins were far beyond people's imagination. The oldest could be traced back to the champion of the Western Han Dynasty. It was also a set of internal and external martial arts. However, the moves evolved from spear techniques. Although the routine was the Plum Blossom Rod, it had the characteristics of spear techniques.
Both Chen Zhen and Luo Xiaochuan had inherited Huo Yuanjia's teachings, but they had not been practicing the Huo Family's martial arts for a long time. In addition, Chen Zhen had been crippled for half a month, so their attainments in the Huo Family's martial arts were about the same.
The two of them fought purely with the Huo Family Style. However, due to their high cultivation, fast movements, and sufficient strength, in the eyes of others, their boxing skills had already been cultivated to the realm of perfection. Only Liu Zhensheng, who knew the basics, could see that the two of them had only just started practicing the Huo Family Style. However, Liu Zhensheng did not dare to underestimate their strength. The strength and speed that the two of them displayed were not inferior to his at all, even if his boxing skills were solid and he did not have the confidence to win.
Luo Xiaochuan and Chen Zhen were both considered geniuses. Luo Xiaochuan's Taiji Fist was well-practiced and could be comprehended by analogy. Although the Huo Family Style was different from Taiji Fist, its martial arts concepts and foundations were not beyond Luo Xiaochuan's knowledge. He did not feel much about it usually, but under the pressure of an expert like Chen Zhen, Luo Xiaochuan quickly integrated what he had learned.
Experts loved to spar with others because they had to learn from others if they wanted to improve. If they couldn't even cultivate hidden force behind closed doors, how could they become a neutralizing grandmaster?
Luo Xiaochuan already had an idea. He had come out to play during this period of time to digest Kong Boda's medical skills and Five Animal Frolics. He also wanted to improve everyone's strength through sparring with his fellow disciples. Anyway, they had not reached the level of internal force yet. As long as they did not kill, there would be no problem. They could even gain some experience. It did not matter even if they were injured. Wasn't he and Kong Boda here? With so many people practicing his medical skills for him, it's much faster than reading books all day long.
