Chapter 7185
So the official from Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology mustered his courage and said,
“Sir, you can’t put all the blame on us, especially regarding the mistreatment of research team members.”
“If we’re to take the fall, how can we explain this to the other research team members and scientists?”
“Everyone here works in various units under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology.”
“They’re not military personnel.”
“Even if they make mistakes at work, they should be resolved through normal civil and commercial procedures.”
“If they find out we resort to force,”
“Or even request foreign military intervention, how will we maintain our reputation?”
The official from the Ministry of Defense quickly added,
“Yes, sir, we can…”
“We openly admit that we requested you to send troops.”
“But the US needs to give us a public explanation for the mistreatment of our research team members.”
“That would be fair and reasonable.”
The US military official retorted sharply,
“Fair? Where is the fairness?!”
“When your whole country was starving, and MacArthur had to come to the US Congress to ask for food for you,”
“Why didn’t you talk about fairness then?!”
“When you used your geographical advantage to become a Cold War bridgehead and received countless supplies and aid from us,”
“Why didn’t you talk about fairness then?!”
“Now that we need you to take the blame, you talk to me about fairness?!”
The two Japanese men were immediately silent.
Although they weren’t together, and although they were only on a video call,
They couldn’t help but look at each other on the screen,
Hoping the other could find a way to refute the US military official.
However, neither of them could find a suitable breakthrough.
The US military official, gradually losing patience, said coldly,
“We will be holding a press conference soon.”
“I hope you two won’t waste any more time here.”
“If this matter has a significant negative impact on America,”
“Rest assured, given our style, the consequences will be repaid tenfold, a hundredfold.”
“Perhaps because of your insistence today, some of your citizens will lose their jobs in the future.”
“And some companies will go bankrupt.”
“You need to think these things through as soon as possible.”
“If you can’t decide, then report the matter to your superiors and let them decide.”
“I’ll wait for you for twenty minutes.”
With that, this military official left the video conference.
The two Japanese men in this situation, they naturally dared not make a rash decision.
So, after discussing it,
They decided to immediately report the matter to the cabinet and let the cabinet make a decision.
Some things can not only be passed down but also passed up.
As long as you have the courage to shirk responsibility, you can tell your superior,
“I’m just dealing with this mess anyway,”
“You figure out how to solve it.”
The superior can’t do anything about it.
At most, they’ll just fire him.
Looking back now, being fired is no longer a big deal,
As long as they don’t bear the burden of national responsibility.
What if they didn’t serve the deal well?
And America retaliates against Japan later?
Wouldn’t they become traitors?
At that point, it wouldn’t just be about losing their jobs.
They might even get shot by a gunman one day.
Upon receiving the report, the cabinet didn’t dare delay for a moment and immediately convened a meeting of all members to discuss the matter.
While the cabinet was still discussing what to do,
Victoria, far away from Antarctica, also received the news.
She never dreamed that Antarctica, where she had spent so many years, would become the focus of global attention.
She immediately realized that this must be related to Brovnen!
After Brovnen left, he went to Ushuaia and,
With the help of Siyan Wu, the governor of the Left Army Commandery, the governor went to Antarctica.
Victoria wasn’t very surprised when she received the news,
Because the plan was simply for the three of them to go out and find opportunities.
No one knew if there were any opportunities in Antarctica,
And Victoria felt that this kind of surprise was exactly what she wanted.
Otherwise, if everyone followed her preconceived notions,
Some corners might never have been noticed.
