"Ah!!" Upon hearing the host announce that the next piece the United States would play was a new piece called "Death Battle," many audience members screamed.
The audience's screams were excited and thrilled; they seemed to be eagerly anticipating it.
It's as if the piece the American team is about to play is very much to their liking.
Compared to the audience's excitement, Wang Qingge's heart suddenly tightened at this moment.
Why? Because the piece the United States is going to play is called "Death War," and any normal person would know what that means just by hearing the name.
Their piece of music is about war.
How could this not surprise and shock Wang Qingge?
Just by hearing the title of their song, Wang Qingge already knew very well that the song from the United States was the same as that from the Country of Cherry Blossoms.
They both wanted to play songs related to war; it seems these two countries are still so incorrigible.
The United States, in particular, has frequently waged wars against weaker countries over the years, constantly bullying the weak.
They always like to engage in petty tricks that cause trouble for people all over the world.
Now they even perform war-related pieces at this world music competition.
How can this not make people angry? How can this not be called infuriating?
Therefore, it's no exaggeration to say that the United States and Japan are like two peas in a pod, birds of a feather.
Although these two countries always seem to have this tendency, one wants to invade others and the other likes to bully others.
Therefore, influenced by traditional Chinese culture, their music tends to focus on war-related themes, which is somewhat understandable to Wang Qingge.
But what Wang Qingge couldn't understand was why the people here, all the audience members...
Why would you be so supportive of this and so looking forward to war-themed music?
This was something that Wang Qingge really couldn't figure out, no matter how hard she tried.
Could it be that the people of this world also yearn for such a thing to happen?
It's understandable if one or two countries have that kind of thinking, but it's incomprehensible if the majority of people in the world have that mentality.
So Wang Qingge really couldn't understand what those screaming and cheering people were thinking.
Unable to figure it out, Wang Qingge stopped thinking about it and decided to wait and see what the United States' next performance would be like.
Although the songs of the beautiful country are also related to war, we cannot simply assume that they are the same as those of the cherry blossom country.
What if the next piece of music from the United States is an admonition against starting a war and to cherish peace?
If that's the case, then it's a good thing, since everything has its good and bad sides.
So if the music from the United States is what Wang Qingge wanted, then he would support it as well.
After all, a song that warns the world against war is perfectly acceptable.
However, we'll have to wait and see what their next performance tells us the truth.
...
On stage, after the host finished speaking, the American team began their performance.
The audience of over 100,000 people miraculously fell silent before their performance.
"Thump!"
As the first note sounded, the performance by the United States finally began.
They worked together smoothly and quickly produced a nice piece of music.
The piece was very pleasant to listen to at the beginning, and many audience members were captivated by it.
At the beginning of the piece, not many people could tell that it was a war-related piece.
I just think it sounds nice, or maybe it's a bit melancholic.
But as time passed and they continued playing, the piece gradually got to the main theme and reached its climax.
"Dong dong qiang qiang".
Suddenly, with a powerful pianist's performance, the entire piece and the whole team underwent a tremendous change.
Their performance, which started gently and quietly, suddenly became incredibly violent.
All the notes became incredibly chaotic at this moment, yet they had a captivating quality that instantly ignited a sense of anger within the listener.
At that moment, many people felt as if they were on a battlefield.
Listening to this piece, countless audience members understood its meaning; the music was not simply about violence.
Crucially, the piece carries a deeper meaning: the spoils of war.
...
Yes, that's right! Wang Qingge didn't know what others thought, but after listening to this piece of music...
Wang Qingge sensed that the song from the Beautiful Country was the same as the one from the Cherry Blossom Country.
They all incite others to start wars, believing that in doing so, one can gain endless benefits and wealth.
Wang Qingge had thought that the United States was different from Japan; they wouldn't incite others to like war like Japan did.
But he was wrong, Wang Qingge was completely wrong, because America is not only the same as Japan.
More importantly, the United States is even more ferocious than the country of cherry blossoms.
If the performance by the Japanese contestants previously was somewhat reserved in glorifying war and aggression...
Now, the United States' performance has completely broken all pretense, because they have shown absolutely no restraint in their piece.
They've all let loose, openly telling the whole world how good war is.
Starting a war is a very worthwhile thing to do.
This is the beautiful country, and now this piece of music has a profound meaning.
Upon hearing this piece of music, Wang Qingge was truly at a loss for what to do.
Most importantly, the performance by the United States had a greater impact than that by the former Sakura Country, because it was a team effort.
Therefore, the music they played was naturally more influential than that of the Japanese in the Sakura Kingdom.
Since the incident has already happened, no one can change anything. After all, there are no rules in this world music competition.
It is forbidden to allow people to play war-related music.
Therefore, Wang Qingge really had no other choice in this matter; this was his only hope.
That is the hope that the judges can understand everything, know what should be conveyed and what should not be conveyed, and not give the performance by the United States a high score.
As long as they don't get good scores, everything is fine.
But if they get good scores because of all this, then it's really not right.
