Extraordinary Genius

“Hurry, switch on the TV. Switch to CCTV or whatever channel which is airing the news!” A young man ran into the guardhouse of a factory and shouted to the guard.

The security guards have a 14-inch black and white TV. Other than the guardhouse, there was no other TV in the factory.

The security guard was not sure what happened, and more than a dozen young men entered the guardhouse. They were panting and seems to have run all the way here.

What’s wrong with these young men? Shouldn’t they be at work now? Why were they all coming here to watch TV? Eh? That’s the supervisor of their workshop? That’s it. These young men will be scolded and have their salaries docked.

But when the supervisor entered the guardhouse, he also rushed the guard to switch on the TV.

“My TV can only receive CCTV 1 and our provincial TV channels. The rest of the channels like our City TV station are not clear.” The guard said.

“CCTV 1 will do. That’s a big announcement now. The Prime Minister of Japan is apologizing to us! Hahahaha. It feels good. Those Japanese had to apologize to us!” A young man laughed.

“What? Japan’s Prime Minister is apologizing? Our army is going to attack them?” The guard asked excitedly. If China were to go to war with Japan, he would be the first to join!

“There is no war. It’s those Japanese companies that had caused heavy pollution in China. Their Prime Minister is coming out to apologize and announce the compensation to us. This time, the Japanese will have to bow down to us!”

“That’s right. My third uncle is working in the City Government service. There was once a Japanese who came here to discuss setting up a factory in our City. He is damn proud and arrogant. He speaks like the whole world revolve around him. Luckily the city did not give in to his demands. I heard the factory is a chemical factory.”

“Luckily, our leaders in the City Government have foresight. If our city water is polluted, we will all suffer.”

“Shhhh……. Stop talking. The apology is starting!” The Supervisor shouted.

“You understand Japanese?”

“There is an interpreter. Even if we don’t understand, it also feels good to watch!”

……

“I represent Japan’s government to apologize for the actions of some of our companies in China. Sorry.” Tomiichi Murayama bows down at 90 degrees for 5 seconds.

Cameras were flashing nonstop. Tomiichi Murayama’s heart was bleeding! Damn! It’s so difficult to be a Prime Minister!

“We are still investigating the claims by the Chinese Government. We will not refute the allegations. We are willing to accept the conditions set by the Chinese Government and will discuss the amount of compensation. Those companies that are involved in this incident will be withdrawn out of China. I hope this incident will not affect the relationship between our two nations……”

President Bill Clinton was watching the live telecast in the White House.

When he saw Tomiichi Murayama admitting to the allegations, he lit a cigar and took in a deep breath. Tomiichi Murayama, this idiot. How can you admit to this incident and pull those companies out of the Chinese market? Do you think China will still carry on working with Japan in the future? What you should do is to deny all allegations and refuse to admit anything.

You all should cry and claimed that you all are falsely accused. This way, we will have the chance to enter and help you all. Of course, if there is sufficient evidence, then it’s another story. From your behavior, it seems that the allegations are all true.

Damn. Why is that small size fellow still alive? With him around, China is not easy to deal with. That small size fellow is headstrong and negotiating with him is a pain in the ass. No one can get any advantage when negotiating with him. That fellow’s way of negotiating was, ‘I set the conditions, and you comply with it. If not, forget it, or we go to war.’

After the Gulf War, Clinton’s policy was to maintain peace and had used the war to attack the previous president. If a war were to break out during his term, then he will have no more chance of getting re-elected in two years. He might even be forced to step down!

Yeltsin was also watching the live telecast of the apology in Russia’s Kremlin.

He sneered when he saw Tomiichi Murayama bowing down. How can this person be the head of Japan? His actions reflect the attitude of the whole country!

Japan wants to cooperate with Russia? Dream on!

But China was getting stronger now, and Russia had helped China a lot. It’s time to invite the Chinese leaders over to discuss more cooperations between China and Russia.

Hmmm…… I must invite them over. The better Russia’s relationship with China, the more the US will be afraid. This way, Russia will have time to develop. There were many benefits to building better relationships with China.

The President of South Korea was also watching the apology on TV. He was laughing to himself. Many Koreans were also feeling great.

There was a saying in Feng Yu’s previous life. How can Korean, Chinese, and Japanese sit down peacefully for a chat? Very easy. When the Chinese are with the Korean, they will talk bad about the Japanese. This way, both will be friends. When the Chinese are with the Japanese, they will scold the Koreans, and both will be friends. When the Japanese are with the Korean, they will scold Chinese, and they can be friends.

These countries needed each other, but at the same time, hated each other. It was a weird relationship.

The leaders of the UK, Germany, France, and many other nations were all watching the live telecast. Japan was still an economic superpower, and it was forced to apologize to China? This was big news.

Some people were glad to see Japan disgracing themselves internationally. Some were frowning. China was able to force the Prime Minister of Japan to apologize to them publicly? Is China so powerful now?

Many leaders had been taking precautions against Japan. But they did not expect to see China to be rising so fast. Although China still lacked in many areas, it’s developments was too fast. How develop will China be in 10 years if it continues to grow at this rate?

The leaders of many nations thought if they should suppress China’s development and slow down their progress. Some leaders felt they should have more cooperations with China and develop a close diplomatic relationship. This way, their nation will benefit when China develops.

The Chinese were concerned about their reputations. If any nations were friends with China, China would choose not to fall out with that nation unless the other party started a fight first. Seems like it’s time to lift some restrictions against China.

……

Feng Yu and the rest were also watching the live telecast in the meeting room. A lot was spoken during the apology, and none of them understood what was said. But it was clear that Japan had shown her sincerity in this apology, and the Chinese ambassador in Japan represented China to accept it. At the same time, he announced that some Chinese Officials will be flying to Japan to negotiate on the compensation.

The Chinese Ambassador’s attitude was very arrogant. He behaved like a winner, and many Japanese could only bow their heads. Some Japanese who were more extreme started to protest and want Tomiichi Murayama to step down. How can almighty Japan be apologizing to China?!

But nothing can be changed now. This apology was broadcasted live to the whole world.

Japan was defeated this time!
