The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me
Chapter 496 Loss of Face
If only the Dongshan Army team needs rescue, then Yang Xia's focus will basically be on Japan, which is too much pressure for Hirata Momojiro.
However, if all other countries are involved, the focus of the Kyushu army will inevitably be dispersed.
With the other five countries as a buffer and burden sharing, Hiratajiro felt that Japan would not be so miserable and would not lag far behind other countries. After all, this was also related to the base. If only the Japanese government was bleeding, their subsequent competitiveness would inevitably be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Hiramojiro didn't need to think about anything more.
He must tell Baipu and others what happened today and force them to take the initiative!
The six countries, namely the United States, Britain, Maple Leaf Country, India, Simi Country, and Japan, have inconsistent latitudes and longitudes, which is particularly obvious in the time difference.
Some are in the early morning, some are late at night, and some are in the evening.
However, no matter what time it is, the leaders of these countries are now present in the joint conference chat room, of course, through the form of an online room.
Hirata Momojiro contacted them without stopping and said that the elite teams had made new progress.
After secretary Kobayashi Kiyoya cleaned the office, all the ministers appeared in the chat room.
Two hours before the meeting, when Hirata Momojiro was negotiating with Yang Xia, Baipu and others were not idle either.
The elite team has lost contact. For them, this is definitely not a trivial matter and they must give an explanation.
The pressure on them was enormous. Even though they were offered the good opportunity of "actively helping" the Kyushu army to take advantage of their recovery and then seize the base, their anxiety was not reduced at all.
After the meeting, all the leaders were not as relaxed as they had been during the meeting.
Everything was discussed so lightly before, with some deliberate exaggeration in it.
Once the meeting is over and everyone returns to reality, they will naturally find that the prerequisite for realizing that beautiful blueprint is that they must first ensure the safety of their own elite team and successfully contact them.
Otherwise, how would they know that Kyushu only sent two warships to that sea area?
If we are unlucky, perhaps only one country will encounter those two warships.
Then they have already discussed the matters of negotiating with Kyushu separately. They are fighting individually on behalf of the interests of their respective countries!
Will a particularly lucky team be so kind as to tell other teams about their situation? This is obviously impossible.
Maybe, someone among them had already sowed the seeds of lies, and this country has enjoyed this unknown benefit alone, keeping it secret from other countries!
This kind of behavior sounds really outrageous and deserves our condemnation and condemnation.
However, on second thought, this "luck" may also happen to me someday, so I should not be too sure or absolute.
Although everyone had various speculations in their minds, several hours passed and there was still no news from their own team, which made everyone panic.
On the one hand, they urged the technical department to intensify the search and find the whereabouts of the team as soon as possible; on the other hand, they had to carefully block the news for fear that it would leak out and cause unnecessary trouble.
Hiramojiro's experience is not an isolated case. Presidents of other countries have more or less encountered similar situations. They were surrounded and questioned by ministers.
However, compared with Hirata Momojiro, their situation was relatively good. At least they were just questioned and no further action was taken. The ministers did not dare to act too excessively.
Hirata Momojiro called everyone to a meeting, but he deliberately procrastinated and was the last one to arrive.
He certainly had his own plans for doing this.
If he entered first, he would probably be hounded by everyone with questions. After all, this meeting concerned news about the elite team, and no one could remain indifferent.
As early as when Hiramojiro sent the message, Baipu contacted him privately.
Baip rejected the communication request from the United States on the grounds that "we will discuss it during the meeting."
At that time, he was almost scolded to death.
Baipu is famous for his bad temper. He scolds people without any regard for others and dares to scold anyone.
The reason why he was almost scolded badly was because Hirata Momojiro did not answer the call at all. No matter how the other party scolded him, he could not hear it, so there was naturally no question of being scolded badly.
Therefore, when Hirata Momojiro finally came online, Baipu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he stared at him fiercely, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
Hirata Momojiro felt tremendous pressure. He did not dare to delay any longer and did not wait for others to ask questions. He just started to tell the story.
"All the equipment on the warships of our Dongshan Army team has failed, and we are now forced to stay in that sea area and unable to move!" he said in a deep voice.
"As for the specific reason for the loss of contact, we are not clear about it at the moment. The reason we know this is because Yang Xia contacted us," he continued.
"Yang Xia cracked Neon's military communication code, took the initiative to contact the headquarters, and said he was willing to help." There was a hint of helplessness in his words.
"I got all this news from Yang Xia, so it's most likely true," he concluded.
The presidents, led by Bai Pu, were stunned. They had never expected things to turn out like this. They originally thought that it was the Dongshan Army team that first discovered the Kyushu warships and then took the initiative to help. But now, the helping and the helped are completely reversed!
They were shocked and could hardly believe it.
However, when they saw how heavy-hearted Hiramojiro looked, unable to even maintain a false smile, and in the worst condition possible, they knew something must have happened.
Hiramojiro is such a face-conscious person. If nothing serious had happened, how could he show himself in such a bad state?
As the saying goes, the more people care about their appearance, the more inferior they are. If we vote for the ugliest person, then Jiro Hirata is definitely the well-deserved "champion". Baip will not defend his "little brother" on this point. Although Baip did not say it explicitly, in the eyes of a deep racist like him, Jiro Hirata is indeed a short, ugly and black person. If he were not the president of a country, Baip would not even look at him. Of course, even now, he still ignores Jiro Hirata.
The relationship between them can be described as a typical case of "no one comes to visit you for no reason". The "matter" here naturally refers to the affairs of the United States. On the other hand, Bai Pu's affairs were mostly pushed to other people to deal with.
This time, Hirata Jiro actually didn't answer the call, which really concerned Baipu. He maliciously speculated that Hirata Jiro was the traitor! Even before Hirata Jiro came online, he dragged other presidents to discuss the matter, openly directing these speculations to Hirata Jiro.
However, when Hirata Momojiro put forward the explanation he had prepared long ago, the so-called speculation naturally collapsed.
However, during the narration, Hei Taojiro omitted many details, such as the "dispute" between the Toyama Army team and Yang Xia and others, and the huge reward demanded by Kyushu Kingdom.
He deliberately chose not to mention these details, but other presidents were no fools and they clearly sensed the flaws.
Therefore, as soon as Jiro Hirata finished his speech, all the questions regarding his speech suddenly popped up like mushrooms after a rain.
"Yang Xia? The commander-in-chief of the Jiuzhou Kingdom's army, he actually went to that sea area in person? What exactly is Jiuzhou Kingdom planning?" someone asked first.
"How did Yang Xia know your Neon country's military communication code? This is unlikely, right? How did they decipher the communication code so quickly and then contact you?" Another person also raised a question.
"Yang Xia wouldn't help without a reason. What exactly did he ask for?" someone else asked.
"How do you know that this news is most likely true? Did Yang Xia get some absolute evidence? Or did you reach some kind of deal with him?" The last person also raised his doubts.
For a moment, Baip, William, Markham, Radi, King and others could not wait to ask questions. They were frightened by the news brought by Hiratajiro, and after they reacted, they felt that something was wrong.
Hei Taojiro was vague on many key points and did not make them clear at all. After hearing this, they became even more confused.
Hiramojiro was naturally well aware of this, and he knew it was impossible to get away with it so easily.
He noticed the reactions of Baipu and others, so he explained them one by one.
"Yes, we all guessed wrong at the beginning. It is impossible for Jiuzhou Kingdom to just send two warships over so easily. In fact, Yang Xia is in charge personally, and they must have made full preparations!" he said solemnly.
"Of course, Yang Xia and others could not have known Neon Country's communication code. It was the captain of the Dongshan Army squad, Tanaka, who told them. As for why he told Yang Xia, it must be because they received some kind of threat!" he went on to explain.
"They put forward the so-called demands: 2 billion US dollars and two latest research results. We had no way to bargain at all. Yang Xia's attitude was particularly tough." He said helplessly.
"As for the evidence, we didn't believe it at first. But Yang Xia sent a video of the Dongshan Army team, recording their situation. The video showed that there was indeed a problem with the warship they were on, so Yang Xia's words are highly credible." He concluded.
Hiramojiro explained calmly and answered everyone's questions one by one. However, this only made Baipu and others believe a little, and they still had many doubts in their hearts.
Although there seems to be no problem with Hirata Momojiro on the surface, this is the biggest problem.
With such a high request, could he really agree to it without changing his expression? This would be a very strange thing in the eyes of anyone.
Baipu exchanged glances with the others and found that everyone had almost the same idea.
So he asked first: "Two billion US dollars and two latest research results, this is definitely not a small amount of money. Do you agree to it just like that?"
"Isn't this unrealistic? It sounds like a lie. Would Yang Xia be so outrageous? He only wants so much for a favor?" another person echoed.
"Is there something else going on? Is he so sure that you will agree?" Someone else put forward his own guess.
"What exactly is the so-called evidence video? Take it out for us to see!" The last person also made his own request.
When Baipu asked the question, the other leaders nodded seriously, almost applauding Baipu. They showed their extreme approval, as if Baipu had expressed their thoughts.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Baip had already asked all the questions. They all listened attentively, waiting for Hiramojiro's answer.
Hiramojiro felt his scalp tingling, he knew that things would not be that simple. He had subconsciously tried to fool around with the video, but he was still caught.
"It is indeed a large sum of money," he admitted, "but Yang Xia is certain that we will not give up the Dongshan Army team, so he deliberately asked for a huge sum. This is exactly the same as their last blackmail!"
"Neon borrowed a sum of money from Kyushu last time, and now we can only return part of it to them intact. There is no other way..." He sighed helplessly.
"As for the latest research results, Yang Xia did not clearly state what he wanted. It is impossible for the Kyushu government to know what Neon Country's latest research results are. There is a lot of room for manipulation." He went on to explain.
"As for the so-called evidence video, it's not that I don't want to take it out. If I take it out, it will definitely dispel your concerns. But the problem is, I can't take it out." He spread his hands and said.
"The video that Yang Xia sent over was programmed so that it cannot be opened again after it is played once. I can't even watch it a second time now." He shook his head helplessly.
"There is nothing to hide about this. I have just described the content of the video. The whole video is not long, just a few minutes..." he concluded.
Heituojiro had anticipated these questions, so the overall answers were not difficult. He once again completed each answer smoothly, leaving no room for error.
If it wasn't for making his speech more convincing, Hiramojiro really didn't want to mention the video. Every time he thought of that incident, he felt like his face was slapped and hurt!
When thinking of this, Hiramojiro's expression was obviously a little strange. He was pretending to be serious, but suddenly he paused, which seemed a little strange. (End of this chapter)
