Regarding the paranoia, arrogance, hysteria, and emotionality of the Japanese national character... Xiao Letian really has a deep understanding of this group of lunatics who take death seriously and often turn things into evil under the banner of justice.
What can Xiao Letian say when faced with Cai Bixia's accusation? He has now entered a dilemma, saying it or not saying it would be a blow to him.
Tell Cai Bixia the truth? It was clear that Sakamoto Ryoma acted wantonly and modified his order without authorization. The task assigned to him was to release the longitude and latitude of Golden Island, but who would have thought that he actually released Bai Layi's information.
2.4 million dans of rice, nearly 5,000 taels of gold and countless silver treasures, plus more than 10,000 wasted lives of Chinese people, were just gone.
You can imagine the anger in the hearts of the Chinese people. If they knew that the culprit was Sakamoto Ryoma, then Ryoma-kun's life would not be saved.
But Sakamoto Ryoma cannot die. He is still needed to check and balance Japan. More importantly, Sakamoto Ryoma is overcoming obstacles for Xiao Letian and doing these dirty things like digging out the toilet. If such a person is executed, then he will be willing to do something else in the future. Help Xiao Letian do these dirty things in the shadows?
The CIA will not agree to Ryoma-kun's death, because they are all the same type of people. They all carry out ghostly and sinister missions in the dark night. To achieve their goals, they must do whatever it takes. This is an essential quality for intelligence workers.
If Ryoma Sakamoto is killed, although it will calm the anger of the Chinese people, it will also cause great harm to the CIA. It is conceivable that the CIA will be like a rabbit and a fox. Who will work hard in the future?
If nothing else, Wang Huaiyuan’s hands are clean? If you sort through the work he has done in the past few years, you will find that Wang Huaiyuan is burdened with more than tens of millions of innocent souls.
It seems that it is not feasible to let the version of Ryoma take the blame, but if Sakamoto Ryoma doesn't take the blame, who will? Let anyone in the CIA do it, and the result will be the same. It will also satisfy some people and hurt others.
The current situation is like this. The emotional appeal of the Chinese people and the CIA's sense of self-protection are in conflict. Harming either party is a disaster for Xiao Letian.
Well, now it seems there is only one choice, which is for Xiao Letian to stand up and admit that the leak of Bai Layi's information was his instruction. It was he, Xiao Letian, who put Bai Layi on the altar of the victim. For the overall victory, he Xiao Letian sacrificed the interests of the Bai Layi people.
This also seems to be a good choice. Xiao Letian has just promulgated the Chinese code and his public reputation is as high as heaven. His personal prestige should be able to suppress these protests.
People dare to rebel against the CIA, but they absolutely dare not rebel against Xiao Letian. This is the innate divine power of the creator. Xiao Letian took the blame, protected Ryoma Sakamoto and the CIA, and then compensated Bai Layi in the name of the Chinese leader, which might be able to resolve the public's anger.
But there is one thing. If Xiao Letian takes the blame, then a large part of the history books will be smeared forever. Eternal infamy is not easy to bear. This scar can become an excuse for any hostile force to attack him at any time. .
The effect of this attack will even last for thousands of years, causing Xiao Letian's descendants to be troubled. This attack will affect Xiao Letian's continued advancement, and will also affect his descendants to inherit this huge power. Those more than 10,000 people will die in vain. The evil spirit of the deceased is really lingering around his family.
Wang Huaiyuan wanted to speak several times. He wanted to take the responsibility for Xiao Letian, but he stopped him with a murderous look in his eyes. Losing Ryoma Sakamoto was already a big loss, and Wang Huaiyuan could not be lost now.
What is the most important responsibility of a leader? Xiao Letian suddenly remembered what his superior, a middle-aged and fat old man, said after drinking in his previous life at work.
"What is the most important responsibility of a leader? It is not that he is more diligent than his subordinates, nor is he necessarily more diligent in his business ability. In fact, the most important responsibility of a leader is to take the blame for his subordinates!"
"You see, I'm drunk every day, arriving late and leaving early, but why do the departments I lead always surpass other units? Why do internal innovations appear here? It's because I give you the right to make mistakes, and as long as your mistakes are not accidental, I tolerate everything selfishly..."
"I will bear the wrath of Daboos. I will provide you with a safe sky, and then you can cross the sea and show your magical powers..."
"People, how big their belly is, how big their career is... For example, if I am a squad leader, I hope that every soldier under me can be a squad leader like me. If I am a company commander, I hope that I All my subordinates can become company commanders like me..."
"Think about it carefully. You are all soldiers brought out by me. If you are all promoted and are on the same level as me or even higher, then will my status rise?"
"You are all company commanders, so naturally I am a battalion commander. Now that you are all battalion commanders, I am naturally a division commander... So, the most core quality of a leader is to take the blame, not some bullshit. You must do everything you need to do!"
Thinking of the earnest teachings of the old leader in his previous life, Xiao Letian felt relieved. He stood in front of everyone and nodded silently, "Yes, I am responsible for the Bai Layi tragedy, because I was the one who released that information..."
"No..." Wang Huaiyuan couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and shouted, "The responsibility lies with me. This matter has nothing to do with the Prime Minister. Why should the Prime Minister take the blame for the detailed combat plan formulated by the CIA?"
"It was Wang Huaiyuan who secretly modified the battle plan. I was afraid that the enemy would not take the bait, so I deliberately increased the weight of the intelligence bait. It was all my doing...cough cough cough..." After saying this, Wang Huaiyuan suddenly coughed violently. Started to tremble.
The generals were in an uproar. They didn't expect that there were so many inside stories about the Bai Layi tragedy. The prime minister and the CIA director rushed to take responsibility. This scene exceeded Cai Bixia's expectations, and she was a little overwhelmed.
Women, whether they are weak ladies or tough military ladies, will have some emotional behaviors from time to time under the strong interference of hormones.
For example, Cai Bixia's questioning today was entirely because the exposure of the CIA plan made her subconsciously fearful. As a member of the Ryukyu forces, he had a tragic plot in his subconscious.
They are afraid that they will become weaker and weaker and eventually become victims of the Prime Minister's cause, just like the people of Bai Layi. Men think more deeply and can suppress their emotions better, while women like Cai Bixia have slightly weaker restraint ability.
So she jumped out and fired the first shot, and the result was unexpected. She actually forced Xiao Letian into a dilemma.
