Umbrella Corporation employees are extremely loyal and have very strong organizational skills.

It only took 10 days to be ready!

On March 3th, things officially begin!
……

……

Union Square, San Francisco.

The spring breeze in March is comfortable and pleasant.

Today, it is just like usual, with crowds of people, heavy traffic and bustling activity.

In the square, street performers were performing hard, attracting a group of children who gathered around and watched with laughter;
Not far away, a street performer was playing the violin, and the melodious music floated in the air.

However, a special "exhibition" instantly broke the original peaceful atmosphere here and attracted the attention of a large number of citizens.

In an open space in the square, a group of actors were seen wearing tattered, patched costumes from the Republic of China era, with large patches of simulated blood stained on their clothes, which looked shocking.

Their faces were smeared with realistic blood, their expressions were sad, and their eyes were full of pain and despair. Some of them held display boards with words such as "300 dead souls are crying" and "The covered-up massacre in the East" written in eye-catching fonts.

Opposite them, several actors playing the role of Japanese soldiers were dressed in the uniforms of the invading Japanese army, leather boots, sabers on their waists, and had ferocious faces.

A "Japanese soldier" brandished his saber and shouted wildly in English/Japanese:

"Killing someone is just like killing a chicken, there's no difference!"

Another "Japanese soldier" raised his gun and made a shooting motion towards the "civilians", shouting:

"All dead, all dead!"

There was also a "Japanese soldier" who pulled a "woman" and said viciously: "Miss Hua, you belong to me today!"

"Scream, no one will come to save you even if your throat is broken!"

Citizens passing by stopped and were shocked by the scene before them.

Some people took out their cameras and started taking photos and videos. Their expressions were serious and solemn.

From time to time, there were bursts of sighs and angry whispers from the crowd.

at this time,

The organizer of the exhibition repeatedly told this history to the surrounding citizens in clear English:

"This is a history of massacres in the East..."

"In 1937, Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, and on December 12, Nanjing fell."

"After the Japanese army entered the city, they launched a six-week long organized, planned and premeditated massacre. They used extremely cruel methods such as machine gun shooting, mass burying alive, hacking with knives, burning and so on to slaughter soldiers and civilians..."

"According to statistics, the total number of victims of the Nanjing Massacre exceeded 30..."

In the narration again and again,

The faces of the citizens around all changed drastically.

Looking at the atrocities committed by the "Japanese soldiers" on display, I feel even more sick...

As time went by, more and more people gathered to watch, surrounding the area tightly. They all felt the tragic fate of the people of the Eastern country and the brutality of the Japanese army.

Reporters from KTVU TV station were setting up their cameras, focusing the lenses on this heart-stirring exhibition.

While adjusting the shooting angle, the reporter instructed his assistant: "Take more shots of the citizens' reactions."

Almost an hour later,

Citizens changed one after another.

at this time,

"Bagaya road!"

Suddenly, several sharp shouts were heard from outside the crowd.

Several Japanese in suits and leather shoes rushed in. The middle-aged man in the lead had a red face, veins popped out on his forehead, and he waved his fists and roared:

"This is slander! Pure lies!"

He tore the display board from the hand of a "victim" and threw it to the ground with a "crash", and the display board instantly broke into pieces.

"There was no massacre at all! This is a malicious smear!"

Another Japanese young man wearing glasses started shouting, and he pushed the actor who played the "Japanese Army" violently.

"What are you guys up to? How could Japan do such a thing!"

The citizens around were startled by the sudden commotion and took a few steps back, frowning.

A gray-haired Japanese old man was furious. He grabbed a piece of debris from the ground and threw it at the actor who played the "woman", roaring:
"We, the Great Japanese Empire, are here to 'build' the Co-Prosperity Sphere. How can that mean we are killing people? You are slandering us!"

The scene fell into chaos.

Someone in the crowd shouted:
"stop!"

Some people also took out their cell phones to call the police.

However, those Japanese still refused to give in. They pulled at the display board, tried to tear up the words on it, and even wanted to beat up the organizers.

"Stop this farce! You are distorting the facts!"

They were destroying things crazily and shouting hysterically, with the same ferocity on their faces as that of the actors who had previously played the "Japanese troops".

The reporter from KTVU TV station was excited.

It was just a little news...

My goodness, these Japanese are coming and it suddenly becomes big news.

"Snap! Snap!"

“Don’t miss the shot!”

"Fuck! There aren't enough cameras!"

Reporters and photographers were both happy and crying.

It took a full four minutes for police officers near Union Square to arrive at the scene.

At this time, the scene was in chaos.

The two sides fought and cursed at each other. The police arrived and began to arrest both parties quickly.

Not far away, Guan Zu, Gong Wei and Tian Yangsheng watched this scene and clapped their hands.

"it is good!"

"Ajie's arrangement was good, it really attracted the Japanese!"

Now there is a conflict and things have gotten out of hand!

Guan Zu called Brother Bao and said, "Next, proceed according to the plan...let Li Jie come in, and then contact all the major TV stations and media..."

……

……

A few kilometers away, Japantown.

The sunlight shines through the mottled leaves and onto the clean and tidy streets.

A traditional Japanese garden is hidden in this area full of Japanese style. In the garden, cherry trees sway in the wind.

February and March are the time when the Sakura cherry blossoms bloom. When the wind blows, the petals fall like snow.

Deep in the courtyard, on the tatami of a tea room, an old man in traditional kimono sat.

The old man is called Kenjiro Sato, and he is a godfather in San Francisco's Japantown. He is not only the president of the Japantown Chamber of Commerce, but also an influential Asian representative in the Democratic Party. He often makes a strong voice in high-level meetings of the Democratic Party, and has deep connections and high prestige in both the political and business circles of San Francisco.

At this moment, in addition to Kenjiro Sato, there was also a political relative from Japan, Naesa Takaichi, in the tea room.

Naosuke Takaichi is a rising star in Japanese politics.

In the future, she will become a far-right political figure and eventually become the Minister of General Affairs.

Kenjiro Sato picked up the tea kettle steadily with both hands and slowly poured hot water into the teapot. His movements were smooth and flowing, showing the elegance and solemnity of the tea ceremony.

"Ms. Takaichi, you came to the United States this time to continue following in the footsteps of your predecessors and to strengthen Japan's international influence."

"Yes! Senior Sato, although Japan's economy has experienced some setbacks, we cannot stop pursuing our international political status on the international stage."

Gaoshi Miaocao's language is passionate.

In the late 20s, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union entered its final stage. In order to reduce its own burden, the United States began to encourage Japan to assume more responsibilities in international affairs (such as "sharing security costs" and "participating in international peacekeeping").

In 1983, Japan proposed the "Post-War Political Settlement", which clearly stated that Japan would "strengthen its voice in world politics". This proposition was tacitly approved to a certain extent by the United States.

So far,

Japan's pursuit of "world political status" is accelerating.

Subsequently, it pushed for the revision of textbooks and visits to the Yasukuni Shrine, all in an effort to lay the ideological groundwork for the goal of becoming a "political superpower" and to try to reshape national identity.

Driven by this trend of thought, the people have gradually come to believe that Japan should play a greater role in international affairs based on its economic strength, especially in establishing its international image in "soft areas" such as environmental protection and aid.

Then in 1989, Japan launched its "dollar diplomacy" policy, with foreign aid reaching US$110 billion, surpassing the United States to become the world's largest aid donor, focusing on providing economic aid to Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other regions in exchange for political support.

It was also in this year that Japan formally proposed its demand for "permanent membership in the UN Security Council", using its economic advantages to win the support of African and Latin American countries, and formed a "permanent membership alliance" with Germany (West Germany).

In 1989, Japan’s foreign minister made it clear at the UN General Assembly: “As the world’s second largest economy, Japan should play a greater role in the Security Council.”

During the 1991 Gulf War, Japan did not send troops but provided $130 billion in financial support;
In 1992, the PKO Cooperation Law was passed, and the Self-Defense Forces were sent overseas for the first time to participate in the Cambodian peacekeeping mission (responsible for logistical support), breaking the constitutional taboo of "not being able to send troops overseas."

At the APEC Seattle meeting in 1993, Japan promoted the "Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area".

Today, in the 1990s, Japan’s economic growth has slowed, but it is still the world’s second largest economy and a technological powerhouse.

The GDP growth rate still exceeded 10+%.

This also made Japan's ambitions gradually expand.

"On November 11 this year, we will host the APEC Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation in China, which is a new round of opportunities for us."

“In addition, we are working hard to promote our country to obtain a permanent seat on the Security Council.”

"At present, we have formed the 'Group of Four' with Germany, India and Brazil, and are preparing to jointly propose at the 1997 Security Council General Assembly that six new permanent seats and four new non-permanent seats be added..."

Takaichi Kusanagi said solemnly: "I came here this time because I hope that Senior Sato can use his influence in the United States to promote these things, expand his influence, and let more people realize the positive role that Japan plays in the world."

Sato Kenjiro nodded slightly, poured the brewed tea into the exquisite tea bowls, handed them to Takaichi Naosou, then picked up his own bowl, took a sip, and said:

"do not worry!"

"The will of the country is my will!"

"We in Japan have a glorious past and will surely have an even more glorious future. On the international political stage, I will do my best to promote Japan so that its voice can be clearly heard by the whole world and Japan can become a real political power."

Upon hearing this, Takaichi Kusanagi raised the tea bowl to chest height:

"Sato's responsibility is exactly what Japan needs most on its journey to becoming a great power."

She bowed her head, and the golden camellia hair ornament in her hair swayed gently with her movements.

"With your help in the political and business circles in the United States, whether it is the publicity campaign for the APEC meeting or the lobbying for the reform of the Security Council, it will surely be twice as effective with half the effort. Japan's future glory is inseparable from the help of the predecessors today."

After saying this, she raised her head and drank the tea.

Just when the two were excited...

“Tap tap tap tap~~~~~”

There was a rapid sound of wooden clogs approaching quickly.

"Mr. Sato, something big happened over at Union Square!"

Sato Kenjiro's female secretary knelt down, with a serious face, and quickly reported the incident.

“Bang~~~~”

"what?!"

The tea bowl in Kenjiro Sato's hand fell onto the tatami with a "bang", and the boiling hot tea splashed out, leaving dark water marks on the quaint rush mat.

Gao Shi Cao Miao was also startled and stood up suddenly, his carefully drawn eyebrows were almost twisted into a ball, and his voice was trembling with suppression.
"We can't let this spread!"

"This will destroy all our efforts on APEC and UN Security Council reform..."
