Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2554: Infamous Days
three days later.

The investigation process of the Kashima incident, as well as the relevant evidence and final handling results have been announced one after another.

As soon as this investigation report came out, the whole world was in an uproar.

According to the information released, it is clearly pointed out that the other party's weapon is not just used to launch satellites as announced, but is an offensive weapon with considerable combat capability.

How many countries are capable of researching rockets these days?
How many people can make missiles?
What are you trying to do by secretly researching this thing?
Anyone who has experienced it will not believe the nonsense about daily life.

Moreover, it has only been more than 20 years since the war, and several generations have not yet died out.

The scars left by the war have not yet healed completely, and many people have not yet vented their anger. Now, you dare to show your teeth and show your tail first?

So the wound that was about to heal was immediately torn open, revealing the bloody reality.

As a result, more and more people called for severe punishment, and the situation of everyone calling for the beheading of the person continued.

Especially in the East Asian circle, the situation has reached its peak.

The news came just as the Spring Festival was getting busy.

Now it's like a frying pan is exploding.

Southern Goguryeo even called for sending troops to garrison on the Japanese islands, and it was said that some people had even divided up the maps of the Japanese islands.

What is even more ridiculous is that this move was supported by North Goguryeo, which said it was willing to send people to the island.

On this matter, both sides rarely speak in unison.

For a moment, some people on the peninsula saw hope. As long as they grasped a certain point, both sides would have common demands!

And isn’t this the point of beating up your daily life?
In addition to the resentment of the surrounding countries, the faraway Democratic Germany and Federal Germany also hated this guy.

He just pressed the scar and behaved like a good boy.

You, not only did you jump out to provoke us, but you also caused us to suffer unnecessary disaster.

What a stupid teammate!
In the second season, all the picks were sucks!
So when the Kashima incident was announced, both sides stood up at the first opportunity to solemnly condemn Xiaori, and at the same time made guarantees that they would not repeat the mistakes of history!
Even the leader of the Federal Republic of Germany felt a little nervous and was wondering whether he should find an opportunity to kneel down to restore the country's image.

As for other countries, they just follow the mainstream public opinion. They kick the dog when it falls into trouble and take advantage of any opportunity when they see it!

When it comes to taking advantage, you naturally have to bleed!
First of all, it is about the attitude of admitting mistakes in daily life.

They factually deny their whitewashing claims of "destroyed in time", "corrected in time", "reversed the mistakes" and "no major mistakes were made".

And it was proved that the final explosion of the rocket was not a human-controlled destruction, but a technical problem with the rocket itself, which caused the explosion.

This further proves that these people have no regrets at all and everything was a premeditated deception on their part.

This also made countries around the world realize the despicable nature of the country, and its international reputation plummeted for a time.

As a result, no saint with overflowing compassion stood up to express sympathy for the final punishment given by the investigation team.

There is nothing surprising about paying money and admitting the mistake. After all, the only thing that makes life easy nowadays is some money, apart from being shameless.

But the compensation this time is not small. A penalty of 10 billion US dollars is not a small amount in today's world.

Of course, the significance of losing money is greater!

Paying compensation and apologizing means that they admit their mistakes.

Admit that developing rockets is an offensive weapon.

In this way, Xiao Ri's path to rapid development will be completely cut off.

I guess if we want to launch a satellite in the future, we will have to ask other countries for help.

The second thing is losing money!
It's not a small amount of money to get.

As for how to divide the 10 billion yuan, after discussion among the three parties, the United States and the Alliance each took 3 billion, and the rest was given to China.

After all, only China contributed to this operation, and the other two parties just sent a delegation for show.

Just like that, I made 3 billion for free.

This amount of money is also a shot in the arm for the alliance, as their space-based weapons program has not yet been finalized.

Seeing that China had launched a satellite, they became anxious.

They also heard that the United States was planning to land on the moon. If they succeeded, their alliance would be in danger.

Relatively speaking, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for the United States!
The United States is not short of money, but it is short of people.

After all, the more money the better.

So this money can shut up the United States.

For China, these four billion are even more.

When General Zhang brought the good news back to the city, the thin old man said, "A horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth!"
It was a full meal!
Then comes the apology.

Other countries didn't think much of this, but after the news spread back to China, the response was particularly huge.

Of course, the reaction is just a little bit bigger, because everyone knows what kind of person Xiao Rizi is. He is a beast who tries to please you while stabbing you in the back.

Anyone who believes what a beast says is a fool.

Finally, there are additional requirements.

Regarding the letter of guarantee submitted by Huaxia.

In the eyes of most people, this requirement is not worth mentioning at all.

From the perspective of outsiders, it is true that your life is a copycat, but you Chinese are not good people either.

We are all the same kind of people. Can you please stop making fun of your elder brother?

As for ensuring that you won't plagiarize in your life in the future, you have to have something for others to plagiarize!

Not to mention that outsiders pay less attention to it, even people in China are confused when talking about this matter.

Copycat?

Isn’t what we are doing now just copying?

Many people smiled disdainfully when they heard this condition.

However, before the smile faded, someone made a list of the things that Xiao Rizi had plagiarized from China in recent years.

Rice cookers, pressure cookers, air conditioners, motorcycles, etc., these copycat plagiarized products are making a lot of money.

In addition, many versions of the most popular traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine have been copied by Xiao Ri Zi.

For example, they copied the health product Palace Jade Liquor, which was specially supplied to the royal family.

Like the plum blossom disinfectant, they copied out a cherry blossom disinfectant.

Like the Chinese medicine massage, they came up with a massage...

Many of these projects were poorly copied and some even resulted in deaths.

It is said that they are still thinking about the classification of counterfeit Chinese medicine, and some people in the United States have begun to take action.

It seems that you don't know until you check, and you will be shocked when you do.

It was only then that the Chinese people realized that Xiaori had stolen so many good things from them!

For a moment, the number of words greeting each other about daily life was twice as much as usual!
Similarly, all parties also have some understanding of why China specifically added this guarantee.

The much-talked-about Kashima incident has finally come to an end, but its impact goes beyond that.

Things that have never happened in history are happening now.

The flapping of the butterfly's wings will bring about more chain reactions.

Wajima, Edo.

Smith sat cross-legged on the tatami, looking contented.

A group of people were kneeling under the tatami.

Their butts were higher than their heads, and they were lying on the ground, looking extremely pious.

Smith was in no mood to look at these people, but when he saw the wooden box in front of him, he became interested.

Because the box is filled with green banknotes.

Given his familiarity with greenbacks, this box could hold about seven figures.

This is a considerable amount of money.

This money is especially important to him as he is now heavily in debt.

But you have to do things after you get the money.

But can this be done?

After pondering for a long time, Smith withdrew his gaze and looked at the middle-aged man in the lead.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Smith's voice was cold. He needed money, but he wouldn't put himself in it.

Especially since this incident suddenly became a hot topic all over the world, it would be ridiculous to say that there was no one behind it.

He didn't want to step into this kind of whirlpool and sink to the bottom of the sea. "Sir, we want you to help pass a message to the upper world."

"Just one sentence? It's that simple."

"Hey, yes! Just one sentence."

The middle-aged man spoke seriously, and Smith became interested and asked casually, "I want to hear what you want to say."

The middle-aged man immediately raised his head and said in a serious tone, "Sir, the rise of China must be guarded against. If they unite with the Alliance, the new world order will be challenged."

Smith frowned.

Huaxia? Are you kidding me?
In the current situation, I can’t even get enough to eat. Is that possible?
Don't think you can become a powerful country just by creating a mushroom egg satellite or something.

A strong country depends on its comprehensive national strength.

Economics, politics, military, influence, etc.

Take China. It was relying on the alliance for help a few years ago, but now it has become a powerful country?
If you want to raise your own value these days, you don't have to lie like this.

"are you joking?"

"Or do you want to embarrass me so as to satisfy your own selfish desires?"

Smith said indifferently.

The middle-aged man lowered his head, and the breathing of the people behind him became dispensable, for fear of ruining the atmosphere in the field.

"Sir, I have no other intentions. I say this from the bottom of my heart."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, his head hit the floor with a bang.

"Okay, I'll tell the higher-ups about this."

After a long while, Smith finally spoke, with words of reminder.

He believed that his boss Lawrence would just laugh after hearing this.

Right now, the greatest enemy of the United States is one and only one, and that is the Alliance.

I don't care about anything else.

"Thank you, sir."

The middle-aged man had a bitter taste in his mouth, but he still lowered his head. Everyone knelt down without moving.

Smith frowned, then looked at the money on the table and asked unhappily, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"Why, yes, sir."

"We hope to get support in our exploration of aerospace, please!"

The middle-aged man kneeling in the front raised his head, revealing his red forehead, and spoke in a humbly voice.

Smith sneered in his heart after hearing this. It was indeed so!

This is something that we cannot develop on our own, so we are trying to use someone else’s chicken to lay eggs!
He is really evil-minded!

"Support? How can I support you? Let you research rockets? Do you dare?"

Smith felt that it would be better not to take the money, otherwise he would just get into trouble and it would not be worth it.

The middle-aged man immediately lowered his head after hearing this, and then said in a sincere tone, "Sir, the reason why we took the initiative to research rockets and satellites without authorization actually has a lot of difficulties!"

"Difficulties? Haha!"

Smith smiled exaggeratedly when he heard this.

The middle-aged man lowered his head even lower.

"Sir, our people have learned some news."

"China has a Star Wars plan, I wonder if you know about it!"

Instantly, Smith's expression became serious, "What else do you know?"

"Hi!"

The middle-aged man felt relieved, knowing that this had aroused the other party's interest, so he said loudly, "Sir, our people learned through secret channels that the other party has reached a cooperation with the alliance."

"The project they are working on is the space-based weapons program..."

Smith remained calm because they had known all this for a long time, and they had already grasped the development of the alliance and had taken countermeasures.

But the other party was talking about Star Wars, something they didn't know much about China.

"The intelligence we received revealed that the other party's satellite launch this time was not in the original plan. They were supposed to launch it in June or July this year."

"We just don't know why it was brought forward before the New Year. We suspect..."

"What do you suspect?"

Smith frowned. June and July of this year was a very special time.

Because he learned that the United States is going to do something big in July this year!
Landing on the moon!

Although it is still kept secret, there is no such thing as secrets for them.

Landing on the moon will be an important means to boost the morale of the United States and consolidate its global position.

"We suspect that they are speeding up their research in preparation for something!"

The middle-aged man said affirmatively, and then continued to explain, "We are eager to launch the satellite this time because we want to accumulate technology to deal with possible crises in the future."

Smith frowned silently, staring at the group of guys with their butts sticking out below, wondering what the other party's words meant.

If the other party really has other purposes, then...

Smith felt that the other party was heading for the moon with them!

If the opponent goes up first, or let the alliance go up first.

Aren’t these people in front of me my future self?
Smith moved his butt to relax himself, shifted his gaze from the people below, and then fell on the box, and then said, "I can give you some support, but you also have to show enough sincerity."

"Yes, my lord."

"We are willing to show our utmost sincerity and cooperate more deeply with the adults of the United States."

"Greatest sincerity? How great is it?"

Smith suddenly laughed as if he heard a joke.

But the middle-aged man below said with certainty, "Sir, we can exempt your country's tariffs, including all tariffs on agricultural products and commodities."

"As long as it's within our budget, we have no problem with it!"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he knelt down again!
Smith's pupils shrank when he heard this.

This is a desperate move!

You know, this is tariff.

This is an important source of financial resources for a country.

During the colonial period, it was only the most-favored-nation treatment, and there were still some tariffs.

This is great, it’s gone right away, reset to zero, this is too harsh on myself.

If tariffs on goods from the United States are exempted, it would mean that Japan would become a dumping ground for domestic products in the future.

Thinking of the faces of those big farmers and big shots in China, it goes without saying that this condition is simply pie in the sky.
It's no different than giving them money.

The key is that this move is very much to the liking of the United States.

By conducting fair trade and complying with the freedom and democracy advocated by Japan, we can enrich the material life of the Japanese islanders and make money.

The United States is indeed the most beautiful country!
Of course, doing so seems to harm the interests of Japan, but the injection of foreign goods will also drive the development of Japan's economy.

At the same time, it can also deepen the ties between the two sides, which is very important for the security of the Japanese islands.

Thinking of this, Smith realized how much pressure the rise of China brought to Japan.

In this case, it is not certain who will gain the upper hand.

Smith glanced at the middle-aged men below and expressed his admiration for their decisiveness. They were a group of ruthless people!
At the same time, I became alert in my heart. These guys can do anything, so I have to be careful.

"I will report this to my superiors, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not!"

After thinking about it, Smith decided to lend a hand. After all, it was just a matter of talking and he could get paid, so why not do it?
"Thank you very much for your generosity. We, the Great River Nation, will certainly remember your help..."

The middle-aged man kowtowed again, his joy mixed with gratitude, which made people feel comfortable.

After saying that, the middle-aged man slowly stood up with everyone else, and then walked backwards out of the room.

Smith took a look and the corners of his mouth curled up again. He walked to the box, wiped a handful of green bills, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

crunch
Suddenly, the screen was pushed open.

The sound of wooden clogs was then heard.

Smith looked up and saw two girls in kimonos walking in with their heads lowered, then came to his side and slowly knelt down.

“These damn bastards”
