As the campaign to exterminate traitors in the Dragon Kingdom network progresses, the cabinet members of the Japanese island country are also sweating anxiously.
"Umekawa-san, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs, please tell me, is the protest from the Dragon Kingdom a mere verbal warning, or is it a real intention to take action?"
The then Prime Minister of the Japanese island nation Takekuma Kishida communicated with Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Umekawa Uchiku with a gloomy expression.
"Prime Minister, logically speaking, we are under the care of the United States, and the chance that the Dragon Kingdom would dare to attack us is slim."
"I'm just afraid..."
Umekawa Neku seemed to have thought of something and hesitated for a long time, but in the end he still didn't finish his sentence.
He just took out his handkerchief and kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"What are you afraid of?"
Takekuma Kishida felt a little angry at his subordinate's frightened look, and immediately reprimanded,
"Although our Japanese island country does not have an active military force, its dragon country threatens us with Dongfeng missiles, and we also have Patriot anti-aircraft missiles deployed by the United States!"
"Cheer up. If such an expression is spread, won't it make the world's governments laugh at us?"
Facing the Prime Minister's scolding, Umekawa Uchiku curled his lips and explained:
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am not afraid that Long Guo will really dare to take action."
"It's just... have you ever thought about it, Dragon Country is our country's largest export market for various products."
"If we don't apologize this time, I believe that Longguo will soon ban all electronic equipment and automobile products from our country just like it bans the purchase of our seafood!!"
He said extremely excitedly.
As the world's second largest economy, it is also a huge consumer market with a population of three billion.
Whichever country the Dragon Kingdom cooperates with, the outcome will definitely be a win-win situation.
But if Longguo gives up its cooperative relationship with it, then the country's excess production capacity will not be able to find a dumping ground in the world that can perfectly replace Longguo.
Kishida Takekuma trembled when he heard this, and asked with some fear: "Umekawa-san, if the Dragon Kingdom launches a trade embargo against our country, how much GDP will our country lose in the next quarter?"
Umekawa Naikou had obviously settled this gap early on, so he replied in a serious tone: "Prime Minister, if the Dragon Kingdom completely bans all our products, our country will directly lose nearly ten percentage points of GDP in the next quarter!"
Hearing this huge difference, Takekuma Kishida almost lost his balance.
Fortunately, the secretary beside him helped him, so he didn't fall to the ground.
"Then... Umekawa-san, it seems that this apology is necessary?"
Kishida Takekuma feels guilty now.
Ten percentage points of GDP, you must know that the Japanese island country's quarterly military expenditure is only close to five percentage points of GDP.
This is the expenditure calculated after counting the garrison expenses paid to the United States.
If the cooperation with Long State fails, he, a prime minister who can be squeezed out by competitors at any time, may be at an end.
"Your Majesty Prime Minister, the safest solution at present is indeed to apologize."
"There is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom: a small impatience will ruin a big plan."
"We just pretend to show it to them. Anyway, it's just a bow."
"When we discharged nuclear sewage into the sea, didn't we also hold a press conference to bow and apologize?"
Meichuan Neiku offered advice.
Hearing this, Takekuma Kishida thought for a moment.
I thought that I would just bow and apologize anyway.
It's just a traditional performing arts of Japan.
Besides, it was not him, the Prime Minister, who bowed personally.
So he decisively agreed.
"Then Umekawa-san, this difficult task will be left to you."
Umekawa Neku nodded with an ugly expression, but did not leave the Prime Minister's Office.
"Oh? Umekawa-san? Is there anything else?"
Takekuma Kishida asked Umekawa Uikou, who had not yet left, doubtfully.
"Private Masai! Prime Minister, this time the Dragon State not only asked our Ministry of Foreign Affairs to apologize live, but also specifically requested that you, the Prime Minister, also participate in the apology ceremony."
Umekawa Neku bowed lightly, feeling secretly happy in his heart.
In the past, he, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was responsible for such scandals.
This time, the leader was finally dragged into the water. This feeling cannot be described in any words.
It can only be said that if he hadn't bent down and lowered his head just now, the corners of his mouth that couldn't be suppressed would have betrayed his heart.
"Dragon Kingdom bullies people too much!!"
When Takekuma Kishida heard this, he was so angry that he immediately punched the desk.
"I am the dignified Prime Minister of a country, but I represent the dignity of the country and the honor of the emperor's ministers. If I bow and apologize, wouldn't it be detrimental to the dignity of my country, the great Japanese island?!"
His chest rose and fell rapidly with anger.
I didn’t expect that the Dragon Kingdom officialdom would have expanded to such an extent.
"Prime Minister, please calm down first."
"We don't have much time left to think about it."
"If a clear answer is not given within twenty-four hours, the Dragon Kingdom may really take action!!"
Umekawa Neku tried his best to persuade Kishida Takekuma. Whether he comes forward to apologize at this moment is the most important part of the entire apology ceremony.
Kishida Takekuma's face was quite ugly. After much hesitation, he showed his unique attitude of avoiding responsibility and said:
"Long Guo said it would take 24 hours, right?"
"Then as long as you apologize within these 24 hours, it won't be considered a breach of contract, right?"
Hearing the sinister smile on Kishida Takekuma's face again, Umekawa Naiko asked in confusion:
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, according to their statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this is indeed the case."
"Haha, that's good!" Takekuma Kishida suddenly showed a determined look, tapped the watch on his wrist, and laughed,
"Isn't it just an apology ceremony?"
"Go, of course I, the Prime Minister of a country, will go."
"However, we hold a press conference at 3:30 in the morning because the time difference between us and Long Country is one hour."
"So......"
Speaking of this, Takekuma Kishida's greasy face couldn't help but smile.
Umekawa Neku, who knew the meaning, immediately clapped his hands and cheered when he heard this:
“I say hello to the Prime Minister!!”
"It will be 2:30 in the morning in Dragon Kingdom. It is rest time at that time, and no one will pay attention at all!!"
“In this way, our international influence was minimally lost, and we also successfully apologized!!”
"Haha, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dragon Kingdom saw our live video the next day and naturally had no way to refute it!!"
Takekuma Kishida proudly took out a copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from his desk drawer and laughed heartily:
"I expected that the young man from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dragon Kingdom would be so careless in his words."
"Let's take advantage of the loopholes in their words and launch a surprise attack on Ziwu Valley!!"
"Hahahaha!!" Umekawa Naiko picked up the Three Kingdoms book and looked at each other with Prime Minister Kishida Takekuma and laughed:
"Your Majesty, Rong Chen, would like to add that this plan can also be called building a plank road in the open and secretly attacking Chencang!!"
Takekuma Kishida patted Umekawa Uchiku's shoulder proudly and said with a smile:
"Genius, Umekawa-san!!"
"You are the Fengxiao, and I am the Crouching Dragon."
"If we unite, the country will be in peace!!"
