What do you mean the games you make are all real?!

Chapter 62 Denunciation of Japan and Another Time Travel

After watching the two streamers' live broadcasts, Fang Qingzhou personally drafted an announcement that evening and published it on the official websites of Miteng Company and Umbrella Company.

When this announcement was made public, the internet around the world went wild.

The servers for Xiaozonghe and Botui were overwhelmed and completely crashed within minutes of the announcement being released. After the repair, the homepage was almost entirely filled with discussion threads on the same topic from different perspectives.

On social media platforms, the terms "Umbrella," "Miten," "Fusang," and "Biochemical Experiment" surged to the top of the trending lists, with all ten trending topics directly related to this announcement.

"Holy crap! So Umbrella invested in Resident Evil because they already knew Japan was secretly conducting biological experiments, and they planned to use a game to warn the whole world? That's incredibly ambitious!"

"The fact that the villains in the game are based on their own companies is meant to draw parallels to reality! It's meant to make people think about whether biological weapons will actually become a reality! They're using their own reputation as a warning sign!"

"Releasing the game for free and selling resurrection coins isn't about making money; it's about making the game available to everyone for free. We hope that everyone who plays it will gain an understanding of biological weapons and be wary of them!"

"Those of you who keep criticizing MiTeng for using 'revival coins' to fleece investors, step forward and take your punishment! You've actually been willing to criticize such a conscientious company for so long!"

"Umbrella also wanted to use this game to remind the Japanese government to repent, but they didn't expect that not only would they not stop their experiments, but they would also intensify their efforts and even send troops to try to destroy Umbrella's cosmetics factories!"

"Everyone, look! The Nusantara government has released a statement!"

A few hours after Fang Qingzhou issued his announcement, the Nusantara government also held an emergency press conference.

Their foreign minister stood personally on the podium at the press conference, with the Nusantara flag and the red and white umbrella logo of Umbrella Corporation hanging behind him, facing the cameras of media from all over the world.

This is unprecedented; the authorities have actually placed a company's logo next to the national flag.

The foreign minister spoke in Common Language, which was heavily accented but remarkably firm.

"Since its establishment in Nusantara, Umbrella has strictly adhered to all Malaysian laws and regulations, creating numerous jobs for the local community, and last week donated medical supplies worth ten million ringgit to Malaysian public hospitals free of charge!"

"We express our strongest protest and most severe condemnation of the Japanese government's illegal invasion of our territory by dispatching armed forces in an attempt to sabotage our legitimate businesses!"

"We demand that the Japanese government immediately provide a formal explanation for this incident and promise that similar incidents will not happen again!"

The Nusantara government issued such a strong statement, of course, because Fang Qingzhou used his financial power; he spent a full 500 million to bribe all the high-ranking officials in Nusantara.

Although these high-ranking officials are usually corrupt, Nusantara is just a poor tropical island nation. No matter how corrupt they are, they can only add a few percent kickbacks to government procurement projects or open back doors for smuggling groups to collect some tolls. Their profits are very limited.

This time, Fang Qingzhou paid more for a single service than they had embezzled over several years, and this was just the fee for a single service.

As Umbrella continues to establish itself and develop in Nusantara, the troubles will only increase, and the need for assistance from these high-ranking officials will only increase, which means a steady stream of income.

To ensure the stable operation of long-term transactions between the two parties, the several political parties within the Nushantara government, which were originally fraught with contradictions, demonstrated unprecedented cooperation efficiency in this incident.

Of course, Nushantara was willing to directly condemn Japan because the two countries did not have much economic interaction, and he did not think that Japan would start a war over this.

The general public, of course, wouldn't know these things. All they knew was that a government had publicly stood up for Umbrella, and used very strong language.

The news caused an uproar on the internet around the world once again.

"Holy crap! The Nusantara government is really tough! A small country like that dares to directly confront Japan!"

"That's what you call backbone! Even though they're a small country, they're absolutely unwavering in protecting their legitimate businesses!"

"In some major countries, if a local company is bullied, they'll just issue a statement expressing concern and that's it!"

"I am from Nusantara. We may be poor, but we are not cowards! Umbrella is the pride of our country!"

"My uncle works as a packer and mover in the Umbrella factory, and he says the wages there are more than double those in other local factories!"

The benefits and compensation are also excellent!

"So Japan really is conducting biological weapons experiments? What are they trying to do? Destroy the world?"

"We must stop them! We absolutely cannot allow the situation in Raccoon City to become a reality!"

"Make their Emperor apologize! Make their Prime Minister come out and give the world an explanation!"

Meanwhile, Lu Fuyun, far away in Yan Kingdom, was stunned by this sudden news.

The fact that Japan is conducting biological weapons research is known to the military intelligence agencies of most countries around the world, and they have maintained a tacit understanding not to reveal it to the public.

The reason is simple: biological weapons are weapons, and the new weapons they are currently developing are also weapons.

If you expose Japan's secret biological experiments, Japan can retaliate by exposing that you are developing a new type of main battle tank, a new generation of fighter jets, battleships, or some kind of offensive weapon that shouldn't exist in peacetime.

If this facade were to be torn down, no one would be able to escape unscathed. But things are different now; it's not any country that's exposing Japan, but a single company.

Nushantara did not directly accuse Japan of researching chemical weapons; it merely condemned Japan for sending troops into Nushantara without authorization.

As for what the public reads from this statement, what they associate with it, and what they imagine, that's their own business.

Lu Fuyun realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and quickly called his superiors.

Japan and Yan are neighboring countries. If war really breaks out, Yan will be the first country those biological weapons will target.

Now is the best time to use the power of public opinion to thwart this matter. Even if we cannot fundamentally stop Japan's biochemical experiments, we can at least slow down their progress and create enough external pressure for them.

Soon after a tight emergency meeting, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Yan also issued a formal statement strongly condemning Japan for sending troops into Nushantara.

The statement was also issued by the Northern Federation and a long list of countries whose names are not frequently seen in international news.

However, the Stars and Stripes Federation and the countries that are on friendly terms with the Stars and Stripes Federation all remained silent. When asked about the matter at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' regular press conference, they either evaded the question or simply said they had no comment.

However, this was enough. Large numbers of people spontaneously took to the streets to protest, holding signs with red crosses over Emperor Akihiro's image in front of Japanese embassies in various countries.

Some radical consumers have even started publicly destroying Japanese export products they have purchased, ranging from cars to appliances to cosmetics. A video of smashing a Japanese-made car has garnered hundreds of millions of views on social media.

Even among the Japanese people who had begun to receive war education and militaristic propaganda, a considerable number could not accept the fact that the government was secretly conducting biological experiments, and crowds of protesters began to appear on the streets of several major cities.

After several days of heated discussion, the Japanese government was forced to finally respond.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Kishibe stood in the press conference hall of her Kyoto official residence, facing a sea of ​​reporters and a barrage of cameras, feeling more embarrassed than ever before in her life.

"Regarding the recent reports circulating online that the Japanese government has conducted inhumane biological weapons experiments, the Japanese government hereby issues its official response: Japan has absolutely not conducted such experiments! If so, please provide evidence! Japan is not a small company that can be slandered at will!" Sanae Kishibe said.

A flurry of camera shutters clicked, illuminating the entire press conference hall as if it were daytime, while journalists from various countries whispered amongst themselves.

Indeed, to date, Umbrella Corporation has not produced any substantial evidence that directly proves Fuso is conducting biochemical experiments.

The condemnations from other countries only addressed the fact that Japan sent troops to invade Nusantara; no government has explicitly stated that we have evidence that Japan is researching chemical weapons.

"Then the matter of sending troops to Nusantara can't be a fabrication, right? The photos of the bodies of the Nine-Tailed Fox Special Forces that were annihilated have been released! The Japanese military insignia on the bulletproof vests can be clearly seen! When will the Japanese government give an explanation for this matter?" a reporter sitting in the front row asked loudly.

"This operation to Nusantara was ordered by certain high-ranking officials within the Ministry of Defense without cabinet review or His Majesty the Emperor's approval."

"This behavior seriously violates the Japanese Constitution and international law, and is a serious breach of discipline in our military. Defense Minister Shingen Takeda has submitted his resignation to me, and all those involved will be handed over to a military court for serious prosecution."

"The government has established a special investigation committee to thoroughly investigate this matter and restore military discipline. As the Prime Minister of Japan, I express my deepest regret to the Nusantara government and Umbrella Corporation. The officials involved will be punished according to law, and a large-scale purge will be carried out within the Ministry of Defense."

Knowing she couldn't escape this question, Kishibe Sanae revealed the plan that the cabinet had discussed over the past two days.

The sound of camera shutters clicking intensified. The reporter who had been asking the previous question wanted to continue, but Sanae Kishibe bowed deeply and then turned and left the venue under the protection of her entourage.

Meanwhile, in the laboratory six levels underground, Chambers stared at the Japanese government's press conference being broadcast live on the large screen in front of him with an extremely grim expression.

"What a brilliant move, putting yourself in the spotlight so everyone will be watching you, but at the same time no one will dare to openly attack you anymore," Chambers muttered to himself.

After this round of exposure, no country dared to send troops to seize Umbrella's factories again. Sometimes public opinion can be a tidal wave that engulfs people, but sometimes it can be a talisman.

"Major General? What about the T-virus?" Nobuyuki Nakajima, who was standing next to him, was almost in tears. Without the T-virus, what would happen to his research?

"You continue your research first. I'll bring my elite team to get our hands on the item once the public outcry subsides," Chambers continued.

"Yes—" Nobuyuki Nakajima knew this was the only way.

Meanwhile, Fang Qingzhou, who had already returned to Miteng Company, comfortably leaned back in his boss's chair, looking at the news reports and online discussions.

This was the first time he truly knew just how much influence he could have.

Just then, the system notification sounded.

[One week has passed. Please prepare to enter the Resident Evil world again.]
