Chapter 3716: Crushing (Part Five)
Editor: Henyee Translations
It was not easy to hold a large-scale international competition. If a country’s students were successful, it would add merit to the country’s military. However, if trouble kept appearing, others would question their ability and it would affect the country’s future development. This might even be used by their political enemies as evidence to pull them down!
The more the general thought about it, the angrier he became. The general’s expression turned darker and darker. He looked at the Japanese students coldly. “You knocked down the Chinese flag because the Chinese students are stronger than you. Your demon-like jealousy led you to make a mistake. The flag that the soldiers of the country have sworn to protect was knocked down by you. I support whatever China does next!
“And you Japanese soldiers have shown me your despicable side!”
The two generals of the arbitration committee had spoken. Only the general from the United States hadn’t said anything. However, at this moment, he stood up and said with a serious expression, “Give them some time to consider. I think they’ll give us an answer.”
Japan and the United States had a good relationship. At this moment, the general of the United States stood up and tried his best to help Japan. There was nothing else he could do.
He could only reduce the criticisms toward the instructor and students of Japan.
Hirano Ling looked at the American general gratefully. Then, he bowed slightly to the generals of the three countries and the Chinese instructor. He turned around and questioned Maki Fujino and Fukumoto Lina, who had caused huge trouble for their country, with a cold expression.
“Let me ask you again. Did you say anything you shouldn’t have in the car?”
He had to confirm it. If they didn’t say anything, he wouldn’t be worried even if the surveillance footage was handed to the Chinese. At the same time, he wouldn’t bring his students to apologize to the Chinese flag!
As a soldier, he would never do such a thing!
Maki Fujino and Fukumoto Lina lowered their heads, using their silence to reply to their instructor. From this, Hirano Ling knew that they had said something they shouldn’t have in the car.
Just as he was about to reprimand them, Maki Fujino said in a low voice, “If we destroy the surveillance camera, this matter will be resolved. Instructor, we need your cooperation.”
“Idiot! Will the Chinese give you a chance?” Hirano Ling asked back. “They won’t give us any chance to come into contact with the surveillance camera! Also, do you think that we won’t have to bow down to the Chinese flag and admit our mistake?”
Michiko Matsuyama stood up. “Instructor, the Chinese have already raised their flag. Let’s raise our flag first. When the flags of the two countries are raised, we can discuss how to resolve this.”
She was also buying time for her country. This was the best solution that Michiko Matsuyama could think of.
Yes, now was the time to think of a way!
As soon as she said that, the American general saw through their plans and reminded them, “China won’t give you too much time to delay. We won’t give you time to delay either. Apologize to their flag. I think this is the best solution.”
Regardless of whether the Chinese gave the Japanese a chance to delay or not, it was better to delay for as long as possible. Hirano Ling nodded and said seriously, “We’ll find the best solution. Now, there’s one more issue. Our country’s flag can’t be raised without a flagpole.”
China didn’t stop Japan from raising their flag. In the night, the flag of China slowly rose again. Li Jinnian and the Chinese students saluted the raised flag.
