Break out of the courtyard

In the first three days after the Peace Group launched its media offensive, most mainland media outlets did not react, with only a few magazines and small websites reporting on it.

It wasn't until foreign media outlets successively exposed the bacterial research data related to Unit 731 on the Japanese island that mainland media followed up with reports!
In an instant, voices from both home and abroad condemning the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders resounded like thunder all over the world!

In response, Japanese media and online trolls made an emergency statement, claiming that all the bacterial research data was Zhang Heping's research!

Japanese companies have also invested in some media companies overseas, and these media outlets were involved in many of the negative news stories about Chang Heping and the Heping Group.

However, they fell silent after the Peace Law Firm sent their lawyer's letter.

Even when those Japanese companies exert pressure as shareholders, foreign media outlets that are not under their absolute control are only paying lip service to it, for example, by simultaneously reprinting articles from both the Peace Group and Japan Island.

As the saying goes, it takes two to tango!

If only the Peace Group engages in one-sided propaganda, it will be forgotten over time, just like the previous accusations made by Japan and the United States against Zhang Heping and the Peace Group, due to Zhang Heping's indifference.

Because extensive publicity costs money, especially when it comes to making your voice heard around the world!

The research data on Unit 731, the Japanese biological warfare unit, that the Peace Group has now revealed is not a frame-up, but a direct hit on the Japanese devils' sore spot!

If the Japanese government directly acknowledges and apologizes, that would be fine!

But the Japanese devils insisted that they didn't do it, and that Zhang Heping used his own research data to frame them!

Therefore, this wave of public opinion offensive has entered its second phase, advancing step by step to occupy the moral high ground!

September 1st marked the fifth day of the media offensive.

At the top of Victoria Peak on Hong Kong Island, in the Yan Wo Yee neighborhood, the monthly gathering of the wives of Peace Property has begun again!

Because of the propaganda war launched by the Cheung family, the richest family in Hong Kong, against Japan, and the Peace Group's continued suppression of gold prices, many wealthy women wanted to curry favor with the Cheung family and, incidentally, inquire about information related to gold trading.

But Hong Kong Island is only so big, and there are only so many wealthy young people.

Since Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan, and Zhang Nian didn't fancy those rich kids, Tang Xin wasn't so keen on arranging blind dates for her children. Anyway, she knew all the younger generation, and those who got along well with Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan were in regular contact with each other.

As a result, fewer and fewer wealthy women are able to enter Renheyi Community; it's not as easy as it used to be!

"Mrs. Zhang, why did your family suddenly launch a media attack against Japan?" Guo's eldest daughter-in-law stood aside, looking at the mahjong set in front of Tang Xin, and asked in confusion, "You must have spent millions on television, newspapers, and the internet these past few days!"

"One hundred and twenty million US dollars!" Tang Xin played a one-of-a-kind tile and, amidst the astonished gazes of those around her, calmly said, "Didn't Japan and the US previously falsely accuse my husband's lab of leaking a virus, causing the global flu?"

"We've gathered some evidence over the past few months, which is just enough to refute their previous defamation."

Mrs. He's eldest daughter-in-law, standing behind her, asked in surprise, "Mrs. Zhang, in just a few days, you've already spent over a hundred million US dollars on the media?"

"Are Hong Kong and Macao media outlets really charging this much?" Guo's eldest daughter-in-law asked in disbelief.

“All you two do is watch TV and go shopping!” Mrs. He picked up a 90,000 dollar bill and made the transaction, then continued, “If you ever looked at the news on your phones, you wouldn’t be asking this kind of question.”

“That’s right!” Mrs. Guo chimed in. “Even an old lady like me who doesn’t like watching the news knows that Mr. Zhang is serious this time. He’s bought prime time slots on TV stations and headlines in newspapers in many countries around the world.”

"So you included the cost of foreign media!" Guo's eldest daughter-in-law said with a grin. "Mr. Zhang is truly amazing. He remained unmoved in the face of the slander from Japan and the United States; and when he began to fight back, he was as swift and powerful as a thunderbolt!" "Not at all!" Tang Xin said modestly. "If my husband were really that capable, the Japanese government would have apologized for the attacks and thefts before the New Year long ago!"

“If Mrs. Zhang hadn’t mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten!” Mrs. Li, who was playing mahjong at another table, said, “I remember that Japanese spies secretly broke into Mr. Zhang’s laboratory before the New Year and stole a batch of dangerous virus stock solution!”

"At the time, we even called the police and set up checkpoints and conducted searches at all border crossings throughout Hong Kong!"

"Mrs. Zhang, are those viruses really that dangerous?"

"I don't know!" Tang Xin said absentmindedly while playing cards. "My husband never talks to me about his research, and even if he did, I wouldn't understand."

Mrs. Bao laughed and said, "We're okay at playing mahjong, and we know a little about business, but forget about doing research. There's not a single person in this room who knows anything about it."

……

Governor's House, Central, Hong Kong Island.

“Your Excellency, RTV is currently broadcasting a Japanese documentary related to the experiments of Unit 731, a biological warfare unit in Japan. Would you like us to turn on the TV for you to watch?” The blonde secretary entered the living room and spoke softly to the Governor of Hong Kong, who was chatting with several elderly men from the United States.

After the Governor nodded, the blonde secretary walked to the TV wall in the living room, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV.

When the TV station was brought up, and everyone saw the Chinese and Vietnamese subtitles on the screen, an elderly American man wearing a blond wig said, "I've seen this documentary!"

"It was previously featured in the US-based Washington Post, which reported that Japanese scientists used more than 3,000 mainland prisoners for bacterial experiments during World War II."

"This documentary was probably filmed by the Japanese themselves!" Shen Bi, the former chairman of HSBC, put down his cigar and frowned. "It seems that Mr. Zhang has most likely obtained concrete evidence, which is why he is launching such a high-profile counterattack!"

The old man next to him, wearing a thin gray trench coat, took a sip of his drink and said indifferently, "When I was in Korea, fighting alongside the UN forces, I heard that the biological weapons used by the Americans came from the Japanese!"

“Your statement is inaccurate!” The Governor of Hong Kong looked at the television screen and said slowly, “The New York Times once reported that the Americans conducted live bacterial experiments in 18 cities and military bases, and many Japanese people participated in the research!”

"So, those biological weapons weren't obtained from the Japanese, but were developed by the Americans themselves!"

The old man from the United States, wearing a wig, chuckled and said, "Do you think this Mr. Zhang might drag the Americans down with him?"

……

Peace Media and Peace Wisdom Technology did not release all the evidence at once. Instead, they released evidence that was detrimental to the Japanese invaders little by little, as if they were holding back a big move, thus accumulating the anger of the general public.

Perhaps the Japanese government has already learned some information about the virtual dream world of the Night Cherry Blossom Project in Harbin through the Americans.

However, because the Night Cherry Blossom Project's virtual dream spans a long period of time, it is impossible to see the full picture without experiencing it continuously for a year at the exhibition hall.

Therefore, those Japanese devils who refuse to admit it still cling to wishful thinking, believing that the Peace Group and the mainland could not possibly have solid evidence.

The key point is that they were absolutely certain of one thing: the bacterial experiments they conducted in Northeast China ultimately left no survivors.

Despite their meticulous scheming, they never anticipated that the researchers and soldiers evacuated from the bacteriological laboratory would, decades later, be tormented by their consciences, confess to their crimes before a deliberately recorded camera! (End of Chapter)
