Chapter 359: Do We Need a Reason to Fight?
Xi Te repeated calmly, "Let's fight Japan together. If we win, we will split Japan in two. You will get half of China and we will get the other half."
Luo Jiu glanced at the Japanese foreign minister not far away and said guiltily: "It's not a good idea for us to divide them up like this, right? Besides, what if we lose?"
Sitt was filled with pride when he thought of the war. "How could we lose if our two countries joined forces?"
Luo Jiu chuckled and muttered, "That's hard to say. Your vision in picking teammates has never been very good."
Sit didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"
Luo Jiu was silent for a few seconds, and whispered: "In fact, since we drove Japan back to the island last time, it has behaved very well. Just doing some small things in this Olympics is not enough to constitute a reason for war, right?"
Sit frowned, "Do we need a reason to start a war?"
Luo Jiu widened his eyes and was speechless for a moment.
She couldn't quite keep up with the war maniac's thinking, but if they were to attack other countries, she would definitely refuse. But to attack Japan...
Luo Jiu pondered for a moment, "Let me think about it, I have to discuss such a big matter with President Quan."
That night, Luo Jiu told Comrade Quan Sheng about this matter, and Comrade Quan Sheng was also shocked.
He thought about it and shook his head.
"It's the Olympics now, so peace is the most valuable thing. Besides, we bombed the military bases in Japan last time and eliminated most of the military forces in Japan. It's a bit unreasonable to suddenly start a war now."
Luo Jiu said helplessly: "I have also taken this into consideration. Forget it. I will tell Xit later that if he wants to fight, he can fight by himself. As long as it does not affect our country, we will just stand by and watch without helping either side. At most, we can issue a statement condemning and calling for peace. I believe he will not care."
The two discussed and came to an agreement. They had originally planned to meet Sid the next night to have a detailed discussion with him about the matter, but they did not expect a series of unexpected events to occur during the day of the next day.
On that day, Fubao, Feng Qi and two other female athletes from the track and field teams completed the 4×100m relay. With the first two runners lagging behind by dozens of meters, Feng Qi and Fubao chased all the way and finally crossed the finish line first at the moment of the sprint, successfully winning the gold medal.
This track and field seems to have become China's lucky field.
In the men's 100-meter sprint, four athletes from my country's men's track and field team participated. Unexpectedly, a "dark" horse emerged, made it all the way to the semi-finals, and won a precious spot in the finals.
Chinese audiences were stunned. "Where did this dark guy come from? Which province has people so tanned?"
The name tag read "Yuri". Yu families from all over the country searched the family tree overnight, but there was no such person. Nor had they heard of any family marrying into Feizhou's family?
The post-match press conference was very lively. The first thing that came up was the China Business News, which was eager to ask about Yuri's background, because they didn't know how Yuri joined, and this was also the issue that compatriots were most concerned about.
Yuri followed Luo Jiu's previous instructions and told everyone that he joined the Chinese team in order to repay his gratitude. Although he was born in Ya, he received help from China when his life was the most difficult. Now he has become a Chinese citizen and will fight for China and for honor in the future.
When Fubao and Feng Qi saw that everyone's attention was on Yuri today, they both felt a lot more relaxed and were already whispering about what to eat.
At this moment, a strange reporter suddenly grabbed the microphone and asked, "Excuse me, contestant Fu Bao, what do you think of the Chinese tradition of killing nine generations of a clan? Your country rules its people in such a cruel way. Don't you think it is too inhumane?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became tense.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is an offensive question.
In recent days, some tabloids, under the instigation of unknown individuals, have inexplicably begun to hype up negative news about China, such as spreading rumors that the reason why China was able to deliver so many goods so quickly was because they locked the workers in cages and the supervisors whipped them day and night.
Some people even began to propose a boycott of Chinese products, otherwise they would be aiding and abetting the evil and helping the Chinese government to enslave slaves.
Some people also began to distort China's history, deliberately grafting the feudal dynasty's practices such as the extermination of nine clans, literary inquisition, and beheading onto the new government, maliciously portraying China as a terrifying place, in an attempt to arouse resentment among the uninformed public.
Luo Jiu and others noticed the news, but because they were just individual actions of some tabloids, it was difficult to deal with them.
A formal response would only help spread the rumor. Abroad, we do not have the power to enforce the law, and we cannot arrest people for trial.
Luo Jiu was planning to discuss this matter with Xite in the evening. He wanted to initiate a lawsuit in the country in the name of the Chinese government. Unexpectedly, before he even started, the other party had already forcibly brought the rumors to the table and pushed them in front of the people of the world.
Luo Jiu, Cheng Yaoyao and Zhong Jialing were standing outside the crowd and were about to leave when they suddenly heard this harsh question. Fu Bao's face appeared on the big screen in the venue. She did not answer immediately, but bit her lip slightly and stared at the person who asked the question with a cold look.
They all knew that this was Fubao's habitual action.
Whenever she was about to lose her temper, she would bite her lips like this, because the first thing she would do when she opened her mouth was to curse the other person's ancestors.
Zhong Jialing said worriedly, "What should we do? Asking a question suddenly in such an occasion is to deliberately anger her and make her speak without thinking and make a mistake in front of the people of the world."
Cheng Yaoyao said: "This person not only wants to discredit the image of our country, but also wants to kill two birds with one stone, destroy Fubao's image and reduce her commercial value. His intention is simply despicable. What should we do?"
Cheng Yaoyao looked at Luo Jiu, "Should we try to interrupt the press conference?"
Luo Jiu shook his head. "The other party had planned this carefully. They knew that we were busy today and would not appear on the stage. They knew that Fu Bao had survived yesterday's crisis and won the game today. She was relaxed and unprepared, so they wanted to catch her off guard in public.
If we take him away by force, it will only make us look guilty. It is better to leave the problem to Fubao. Don’t forget that Fubao has attended a public speaking training class.”
But Zhong Jialing was still frowning, "That's different. We didn't have this problem during the training the night before yesterday. And this is a political issue. If we make a mistake, we will be easily led into a trap by the other party. Even I have to weigh every word carefully when facing the media, let alone Fubao, who has never been involved in this field."
Luo Jiu sighed and said, "This is the only way. I hope she can draw inferences from this example and surprise us."
Cheng Yaoyao clasped her hands together and said, "I don't want any surprises. I just hope you don't scare us."
Luo Jiu patted her on the back and said, "Fubao is the child we raised. We must have confidence in her."
Before he finished speaking, Fu Bao cleared his throat and replied calmly, "Yes, I also think that the method of killing nine clans is very cruel. You sound like you know a lot about our country's history. Do you know which nine clans are being killed?"
