“During the period when the incident happened in your country, for a month, none of us went to your country. Even if we did, the planes couldn’t hold that much stuff.”
"Tens of thousands of cultural relics! Are you sure we can take them over?"
The diplomat looked at the other party with a half-smile, "Doesn't your country, America, claim to have the most secure customs? How come you can't detect such a large volume of goods entering your country?"
A series of questions left the other party speechless.
"Then why are only the artifacts from your country fake, while all the artifacts from other countries are genuine?"
The other party stubbornly insisted that they would do anything to pin the blame on China.
The diplomat calmly took a sip of tea, completely unfazed by the other party's rage.
"Our country has a history of thousands of years. Perhaps they think that it is not challenging enough to imitate the cultural relics of other countries within two years."
"Moreover, our country has the most cultural relics. If you are not happy, then return our cultural relics."
"Besides, those replicas all have English letters on them. If it were something made in China, it would at least have some Chinese characters on it."
"We can't have the blame being placed on us, but in the end, it's your country that gets the credit."
This is the most compelling evidence.
The American official was speechless. If it were him, he would never have given such a good opportunity to another country.
Actually, things are very chaotic in China right now. There are terrorist organizations that have come forward and admitted that they made those counterfeit cultural relics.
They mocked the incompetence of the American government, saying that those cultural relics were switched without the knowledge of their own government officials.
In the end, the other party had no choice but to leave.
The diplomat smiled knowingly, feeling quite pleased with himself.
I wonder who stole all their cultural relics. It's great that they won't return them to China.
This is like trying to fill a basket with water – it's all for nothing. You deserve to lose everything.
China was secretly watching the spectacle. The United States had previously sold a lot of cultural relics, and those relics had all run into problems.
Now, the United States is being forced to pay them back.
How could I possibly return money I've already got? Besides, the US economy is in turmoil right now, with people protesting in the streets every day. If they don't have money, they can exchange it for government bonds.
This time, he didn't pretend to be handsome in private, and he didn't maintain any gentlemanly demeanor at all.
They verbally attack other countries, falsely accusing them of secretly replacing cultural relics, all in an attempt to force the United States to return the money they owe them.
The United States won't fall for that, so they're refusing to pay back the money no matter what.
Every day there's a commotion internationally, with everyone trying to take a bite out of America.
The base commander specifically told Lin Chuchu about this matter, after all, it was Lin Chuchu's achievement, and he naturally wanted to inform her of the results.
Lin Chuchu was naturally happy. After thinking of something, she said to the base commander.
"Sir, the United States will definitely request aid from China. Why don't you mention it to your superiors and ask them to exchange cultural relics for food or other things at a very low price?"
The base commander's eyes lit up. "Your idea is good. I heard that the American official is talking to our top leader about purchasing grain."
The people of the United States are now starving.
Even if the American government does nothing, they can't just stand by and watch all their citizens die.
If the country has no people, who will work for them?
Therefore, they wanted to ensure that some people survived at the lowest possible cost.
Thus, they set their sights on China, partly because China's national strength was weak and it seemed easy to bully.
One reason is that Chinese people are soft-hearted and would definitely be able to help them.
This time, however, China's attitude was extremely firm: it could provide food, but only if they paid for it; it would not provide aid for free.
Moreover, domestic grain production has been low in the past two years, and they also need to ensure that the Chinese people can have enough to eat, or at least not starve to death.
The two countries have been exchanging views back and forth, but no concrete plan has been finalized yet.
The suggestion from the base commander was immediately approved by the other commanders.
When the American officials found out, their faces turned pale and then red. They felt that China was taking advantage of their misfortune. Those cultural relics were something they had managed to snatch back with great difficulty, and they hadn't even exchanged them for anything worthwhile yet. Did they expect them to use them to exchange for food?
The Chinese representative smiled and said, "I think this is a great suggestion, after all, you can't come up with that much money."
"The price I'm offering you for grain is already the best I can offer. I'm giving you three days. After three days, if you want to buy grain again, the price will be different."
The American official's face was dark, and he looked at him with a gloomy gaze.
"Is China threatening me? Aren't you afraid of offending the United States and facing our suppression in the future?"
The Chinese side smiled and said, "We don't have that. This is a matter of fact. We can't just give you food for free. Since you came to China, it means that someone else must have offered you a higher price, which is why you had no choice but to come to us."
"When you ask for a favor, you should have the right attitude. We're not America's lackeys, and we don't have to lick your boots."
"Three days. After three days we will stop waiting. Coincidentally, one of our African brothers is waiting for food to save his life. They are giving him more money than you are giving him."
After saying that, he ignored them and hung up the international call.
Over the next three days, many people tried to call the top leaders of China, but they refused.
They stuck to their price and wouldn't budge.
Finally, with no other option, the United States was the first to back down.
The items were transported back half a month later. To prevent replicas from being mixed in, the naval base invited Lin Chuchu over.
Of course, Lin Chuchu wasn't the only one who acted as a cover in the past; there were other cultural relics experts as well.
This time, the Americans were very cooperative and brought back genuine items, but none of them were unique or the most valuable.
Even so, China was very pleased, as these were cultural relics that had been brought back from other countries, and that the other party had sent them over voluntarily.
Once there's a first beginning, there will be a second.
When no one was around, Liu Xiaonuan said to Lin Chuchu with shining eyes, "Sister Chuchu, they've had some financial problems this time, so they've sent back so many cultural relics."
"Next time, if we secretly cause some damage and destroy their plants, will they voluntarily send the things back?"
Besides, to be honest, Lin Chuchu was actually a little tempted.
"Ahem, let's discuss this later. We'll consult with the higher-ups then."
They certainly won't be as ruthless as they were towards Japan, but causing some harmless little trouble is still acceptable.
