Peerless Genius System

Chapter 591: Wang Hua.

(Translator Note: The title, 王化 wáng huà, means beneficial influence of the sovereign.)

“You are from the Aso family?”

Xiao Luo asked directly. It was not like it would be a taboo to ask anyway. If he could start his investigation with Aso Shuyao, he should be able to quickly determine whether the Aso family was behind all of this.

“Yes, Xiao Han-san seems to have heard of our Aso family?” Aso Shuyao didn’t think much about it and replied truthfully.

“En, I heard it’s one of the well-known big families in Japan. Though I heard some negative news about you (the family).”

Aso Shuyao smiled, but there was no joy in her eyes. “Our Aso family has always adhered to the ‘Will of Hirohito’ and practiced kingization of China. Until now, this ‘will’ still exists.”

“Wang Hua? Then do you call the war of aggression against China ‘Will of Wang Hua’?” Xiao Luo’s eyes became colder. When it came to this problem, the national blood deep in his marrow burned.

“Isn’t it?”

Aso Shuyao laughed and said, “More than eighty years ago, China had always been thinking backward. It’s still immersed in a drunken dream for thousands of years. On the other hand, we in Japan have already completed the second industrial revolution and entered the electrical age. The same goes on economy, politics, culture, military affairs, science and technology, productivity and so on.

We are far ahead of China. We set foot on China’s soil with the fruits from the second industrial revolution to guide you to progress, to allow you to advance and stop your stagnation. And then build an imperialist country where China and Japan share prosperity. Is this not what Wang Hua is?”

When the topic shifted to the war of aggression against China, the faces of the other people in the office changed. After all, this was a very sensitive topic, moreover this was being discussed right in front of a Chinese.

Xiao Luo sneered, “You take our land and kill our compatriots. Is this what you call ‘prosperity’? Burning and looting, is this not an act of a beast? Isn’t Wang Hua just a king covering for his crimes?”

“Ahem…” Director Tanaka started coughing. His expression turned unnatural after hearing Xiao Luo’s words. He couldn’t help feeling guilty in his conscience.

Kimura Akino was also embarrassed. The fact was indisputable, their ancestors committed heinous crimes against China. What exactly was this Aso Shuyao doing?

The only one who didn’t have a reaction was Gongqi Longjing, he casually took out a cigarette and lit it as he quietly smoked.

“If you want to advance, you have to pay a price. As long as the country strengthens, what is a little bit of bloodshed and sacrifice?!” Aso Shuyao righteously said.

“A little bit of bloodshed?”

Xiao Luo looked at her, she might be beautiful but her ideologies disgust him. “On December 13, 1937, after the fall of Jinling City in China, your Japanese army launched a massacre ‘competition’ in the city. In this massacre, the number of victims exceeded 300,000. So you’re saying that the lives of the 300,000 people were only a little bit of bloodshed? I really want to know, in your eyes, what is a big sacrifice?”

“Ridiculous, it is a myth. When Japan went to China, we aimed to bring you advancement, but we were attacked by you Chinese and then war finally broke out. There was no massacre. Our country has signed the Geneva Convention, which promises to give preferential treatment to prisoners of war, and provides them with food and shelter. How can those civilians suffer from massacre? Isn’t this just your country’s doings? Don’t discredit our country. ” Aso Shuyao argued vehemently.

Xiao Luo clenched his fist involuntarily, this Aso Shuyao was the first woman he met who he really wanted to kill as soon as he met her.

“The Jinling Massacre exists objectively. There are witnesses and physical evidence, as well as photos. No matter what you say it is, it exists and it is a heinous sin committed by Japan against China!” Gongqi Longjing took a deep puff of smoke and inserted a word into the conversation with a straight face.

Xiao Luo was caught by surprised. He didn’t think that as a Japanese, Gongqi Longjing would stand in the same camp with himself at this time. Xiao Luo’s impression of him greatly improved.

Aso Shuyao gritted her teeth and she glared at Gongqi Longjing.

“Hear that? I don’t need to explain any more about this.”

Xiao Luo continued, “Now don’t spout more about your Wang Hua BS. Since ancient times, China has established its state with etiquette and served people with virtue. It has never been tyrannical or bullied by the strong. Thousands of years ago, it was Japan that learned from our China.

We are more advanced than you, better than you, and our overall national strength is far better than you. However, at that time, did we cross the ocean to bully you because we were advanced, civilized and powerful?

Have we burned, looted and committed crimes in your territory? No, because we are enlightened, guided by civilization, and open to the outside world. Advancement is not forced but learned and incorporated, this is prosperity.”

Every word was powerful like the bursts of sonorous bells, shaking the depths of people’s souls.

Aso Shuyao couldn’t say a word, she could only glare at Xiao Luo looking like she had just swallowed a fly.

Even the lazy Gongqi Longjing’s face changed. He then whispered in disdain, “Such a disgrace!”

As to who he was referring to, it was of course towards Aso Shuyao, who tried to challenge historical facts as if her head got kicked by a donkey.

“Longjing, what did you just say? Do you dare repeat it again?”

Aso Shuyao was livid. Since she couldn’t rebuke Xiao Luo, she switched to attacking Gongqi Longjing instead.

But Gongqi Longjing simply ignored her and continued to smoke with relish, which infuriated Aso Shuyao even more.

“Alright, alright, let’s settle down people. The historical mistakes made by our ancestors have already passed — a history. Our two countries have established diplomatic relations now, and our relations are steadily improving. There is also a saying in China, let the past drift past with the wind.” Director Tanaka tried to ease the tense atmosphere with a smile.

“I am in favor of the director’s words, but I really can’t figure out some people. They are obviously policemen, but their ideologies are lower than that of ordinary people. And even harbor such dangerous thoughts!” Gongqi Longjing spoke in due course.

“Longjing, if you think your old bones are looking stiff, I don’t mind helping loosen them up for you right now!” Aso Shuyao boldly threatened.

Xiao Luo looked at her and said, “Mr. Longjing is already very old. It’s not right, how about I do it instead.”

“Fine, I have also long wanted to learn the kung fu of China. Since Xiao Han-san is a first-class superintendent, his skill will definitely be ‘excellent’.” Aso Shuyao’s eyes were full of hate.

“I’ll be sure to not let you down!” Xiao Luo’s mouth raised into a smile.
