My whole family is involved in diplomacy, so you dare to flex your muscles?

If Gu Yun's earlier provocation of relations between Europe and America was like rubbing salt into a wound, then his current gesture on the East Asian map is like throwing a cigarette butt into a powder keg.

The Dokdo (Takeshima) issue is an absolute Achilles' heel between South Korea and Japan.

Anyone who dares to back down even a step on this issue will not only have their political career over upon returning home, but their ancestral graves will probably be dug up.

Yamamoto adjusted his glasses, his eyes instantly turning sharp.

The weakness she felt from being angered by Gu Yun earlier vanished, replaced by a stubbornness called "Yamato spirit".

Park Dae-chang's substitute is a young man named Kim Min-ho.

This involves national dignity. If he dares to back down, the 50 million citizens of South Korea can come through the internet and strangle him.

"Mr. Gu," Yamamoto spoke first, his voice cold and hard, "there is no doubt that Takeshima is an inherent territory of our Sakura Country."

This is clearly documented in history and is irrefutable from both the perspective of international law and historical facts.

"Bullshit!" Kim Min-ho jumped up, forgetting even to use honorifics. "That's Dokdo! It's the sacred territory of our great Republic of Korea!"

We have police stationed here now! We have a lighthouse up there! That's ours! Yours is just the delusions of invaders!

"Stationing doesn't change the legal ownership!" Yamamoto retorted, standing up and pointing at Kim Min-ho, "That's your illegal occupation!"

We have proposed arbitration at the International Court of Justice multiple times, but you are too afraid to go! Are you feeling guilty?

"What are you doing at the International Court of Justice! That's our home, why should we let outsiders decide?" Kim Min-ho's face was red and his neck was thick with anger.

"You Japanese are just incorrigible! Not only do you want to seize Dokdo, but you also want to cover up your historical crimes! What does your textbook say? Huh?"

"Baka! We're discussing territory, don't bring up other things!" Yamamoto snapped.

"I'm just kidding! So what? You're not only stealing land, you're stealing culture too!"

Park Dae-chang said that Chinese characters are indeed wrong, but your Japan isn't much better!

"Your tea ceremony and flower arrangement, weren't they all learned from China? Now you just repackage them and call them your own?"

Kim Min-ho is a tough guy; when he gets really angry, he'll even bite his own teammates.

Gu Yun stood next to the map, arms crossed, with an expression that said, "I'll just watch you guys show off."

This scene is so beautiful.

Originally, South Korea and Japan were brought together to deal with China, but now, before the triangle has even stabilized, the base has already collapsed.

Scott, watching from the side, was completely bewildered.

Pierre was still glaring at him over there, while his two underlings started fighting again.

He felt like he wasn't there to participate in a debate, but rather to be a kindergarten teacher, especially since these kids were all holding knives.

"Stop! Stop!" Scott rushed over and stood between Yamamoto and Kim Min-ho. "It's being broadcast live! Live worldwide!"

What are you doing? Can't you put aside your internal conflicts for a moment?

"I can't let him go!" Kim Min-ho roared. "This is a matter of principle!"

Mr. Scott, as the leader of the alliance, your United States must give us an explanation today! Who owns Dokdo? How is it marked on your map?

This is called playing with fire.

Kim Min-ho's move to "force Scott out" put him in a very difficult position.

The United States has always adopted a "scumbag" attitude on this issue: handling it vaguely and not offending either side.

After all, both sides are his subordinates, and helping one of them would offend the other.

"This...this is a bilateral issue for you, and we...we call for a peaceful resolution..." Scott began to evade the question.

"Look! This is the leader!" Yamamoto sneered. "He's completely unreliable when it matters! Kim-kun, did you see that clearly?"

They only care about using us to contain China; they don't care about our core interests at all!

"Don't try to get on my good side!" Kim Min-ho retorted, unmoved. "Dokdo is ours anyway! It doesn't matter who comes!"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control and might even escalate into a physical conflict (after all, Koreans are known for their fierce fighting), Gu Yun finally made a move.

He tapped the map board gently.

"Knock knock".

The sound wasn't loud, but it was very penetrating.

"You two, are you tired of arguing? Would you like some water?" Gu Yun asked with a smile.

The two of them turned and glared at Gu Yun at the same time.

Although they hated each other, they both knew that this cunning Chinese man was the one who had instigated it all.

"Gu Yun! Don't be so smug!" Yamamoto gritted his teeth. "This is a matter between our two countries; it's none of your business to interfere!"

"Hey, that's not right." Gu Yun shook his finger. "Since it's on this map, and since it's in East Asia, how can you say it has nothing to do with me?"

He walked between the two, looked at Yamamoto, and then at Kim Min-ho.

"Actually, I think your constant arguing is quite hurtful to your relationship. Besides, both sides have their own reasons, and you haven't reached a conclusion after decades."

How about this?

A chilling smile appeared on Gu Yun's face, a smile that sent shivers down the spines of everyone who knew him. It was the smile of a wolf in sheep's clothing looking at two little lambs.

"According to historical records, a long, long time ago, both the land of cherry blossoms and that country on the peninsula seemed to be... part of the tributary system of some celestial empire?"

"Since everyone has called him 'Big Brother' before..."

"If it's really impossible to determine who owns this piece of land..."

Gu Yun pointed to the small dot, her tone as relaxed as if she were dividing a piece of cake.

"Or, you could have them all?"
