Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1110 - Finally Ou



Chapter 1110 Finally Ou

When the news broke, it immediately caused an uproar as the first televised speech made by the newly elected Prime Minister of the Huaxia Empire. His speech appeared to be aimed at one country in particular.The Emperor of Japan and the Japanese Prime Minister were informed that their cry for help had managed to elicit a reaction, so the two men had sat in the same room to watch the live broadcasted news.

Both of the men looked awkward after having watching it.

The Emperor of Japan was a rather short and small man. He appeared very kind and amiable, like an old, honest farmer you might find in Hokkaido. With a frown, he asked in a greatly aggrieved tone, “Baisan-Kun, didn’t you say that the Huaxia Empire could rescue our men from the violet electric sparks? Are you sure that they are capable of it? I think their Prime Minister’s statements just now seemed to be made in earnest. The Huaxia Empire doesn’t look to have the capability.”

Baisan, the Prime Minister of Japan, looked doubtful. He squinted his eyes, then bowed as he replied, “The Admiral of the Marine Corps was the one to say that the Huaxia Empire could do it. He was present at the time and witnessed the extremely powerful electric sparks appear near those buoys as soon as the Huaxia soldiers left the area where the buoys were floating. That is when our men were trapped in there…”

The Emperor of Japan sighed. “Well, it’s a shame our Chief Scientist passed away, or we would have been able to ask him the reason for this phenomenon.”

Baisan nodded in agreement. “As your Majesty says, it is unfortunate. The Chief Scientist only put out the buoys after seeking the advice of an expert, but somehow we still don’t know where things went wrong. I am still leaning towards the possibility that the Huaxia Empire may bear some responsibility for the incident.

“…I remembered you telling me that our frogmen were equipped with underwater cameras to record the trespassing of Huaxia soldiers into the exclusive economic zone of our nation’s waters. If you could get your hands on that recorded evidence, then we might directly forward it to the new Prime Minister of the Huaxia Empire. Shouldn’t that suffice to change his mind?”

The Emperor of Japan was willing to seek help out of empathy for the situation his elite frogmen soldiers were in, and also because he heard what the Prime Minister and the Admiral of the Marine Corps had said. He knew that his men carried underwater cameras that could provide proof the Huaxia soldiers had a connection to the violet sparks.

“But they have not escaped from the ocean yet. How are we to get hold of the recordings?” Baisan replied in embarrassment, “I still think we should rescue them from there before considering anything else.”

“Are their underwater cameras not capable of connecting to the internet? Even if the frogmen can’t escape, why can they not directly send us the recorded clips, or upload them to a cloud drive?” The Emperor of Japan asked sharply.

Baisan, the Prime Minister of Japan, grew even more embarrassed. After muttering under his breath for some time, he finally replied, “…That place was initially the site of a powerful magnetic field, and now it is the site of a powerful electrical field. No network signals can connect from under the water…”

They had brought underwater cameras in there, taking the initiative to obtain undeniable evidence of the trespass. They had wanted to record the presence of Huaxian soldiers into their exclusive zone – the Sea of Japan. However, they hadn’t remembered to account for the powerful magnetic and electrical field which then blocked their network signals…

Now the elite frogmen soldiers were trapped in a circle of deadly electricity, making it such that they couldn’t even present the evidence they had gone there to record.

“We can’t wait any longer.” The Emperor of Japan replied calmly, “Go back and discuss this with them, then send personnel there to try and a break-in. As long as there is a chance we might get our hands on the video evidence, the Huaxia Empire will step in. They care about appearances more than anything, and they can’t afford to lose any face.”

“Hai! Your Majesty is wise!” Baisan bowed deeply to his emperor.

After leaving the Imperial Palace, Prime Minister Baisan immediately went to the Admiral of the Marine Corps to discuss sending personnel to break into the circle of violet electric sparks.

He thought they ought to be able to break through the circle as long as they wore insulated diving suits.

The two men discussed the situation well into the wee hours of the night. They finally selected several soldiers who were the best at swimming, and who possessed the most powerful bodies. Equipped with the best insulating diving suits in the world, they put on huge scuba packs to dive into the bottom of the ocean, to attempt to break through the circle of violet electric sparks.

It was a beautifully sunny spring day.

The turquoise blue sea reflected the sparks of electricity that glimmered like brilliant lighting and truly appeared to be a wondrous phenomenon of nature.

If they hadn’t witnessed the Huaxia soldiers escaping from here, they would have likely believed the lies being circulated by the Huaxia Empire.

However, the Japanese were the only ones to be skeptical of the Huaxia Empire. All the other countries on Blue Planet had believed that it was a naturally occurring phenomenon, and were all rather baffled by the Japanese government’s insistent pleas for assistance to the Huaxia government.

However, the entire Blue Planet would no longer believe that the sparks were a “wonder of nature,” if the Japanese were able to get their hands on the evidence that they had secretly recorded under the water.

“Go forth. His Majesty has vested in you his high expectations and hopes that you can overcome the current difficulties to bypass the electric vortex to retrieve the cameras. If you are successful, we might be able to save ourselves.”

The Admiral of the Marine Corps stood with his giant belly protruding and bowed as he shook hands with each soldier who was about to go into the water.

Everyone looked highly nervous as they stood on the warship, and waved their hands to send off all the soldiers who had already gone into the water.

Song Jinning was on a research ship on the other side of the electric circle. Dispassionately, she watched as the Japanese divers jumped into the water. She wasn’t worried in the slightest.

The truth was the sparks could not last forever because there were no existing energy resources to support it. Once the energy transformed by the powerful magnetic field was completely spent, the powerful electric field would naturally wane as well.

Still, this waning period would last for a long time. From the initial estimates, there were still about 500 years to go.

These frogmen could do nothing. If they asked the heavens for another 500 years, perhaps they might emerge alive.

Song Jinning didn’t feel an ounce of guilt. The Japanese had no one but themselves to blame. In their attempt to harm others they had brought harm upon themselves.

If they hadn’t created the super-powerful magnetic field there to trap Huo Shaoheng and his men, then Song Jinning and Gu Nianzhi would have never have thought of the idea to transform the magnetic field into an electric field, to attack the Japanese with their own weapon.

If the magnetic field had not been as powerful as it had been, then the electric field wouldn’t take 500 years to wane.

Song Jinning wore sunglasses as she stood inside the cabin and looked in a daze out at the waters where the violet sparks were running rampant.

Song Jinning badly wanted to know how the Japanese were able to create such a powerful magnetic field.

Energy cannot appear out of thin air – it could only be transformed from one form to another. Yet the powerful magnetic field truly seemed to have appeared out of thin air in this instance.

Song Jinning was extremely curious, however, after observing the area for several days, she observed that the Japanese weren’t working methodically at all. It had not seemed to her like they had truly mastered the source of the energy.

It seemed far more likely that someone had helped them create the super-powerful magnetic field, but they had not yet mastered the handling of it. So after the magnetic field was transformed into an electric field, they didn’t know how to deal with it at all. This was why they continued to shamelessly plead to the Huaxia Empire for their help and assistance.

Although Song Jinning understood the theory, she didn’t know how to eliminate such a powerful electric field either.

Further, it was easy to transform a magnetic field into an electric field, but it was conversely very difficult to transform an electric field to a magnetic field. Electric shocks would be lethal, although magnetic fields did not kill.

This was the key point.

Gu Nianzhi’s move truly left no room for escape…

A subtle smile appeared on the corner of Song Jinning’s lips.

She didn’t think that Gu Nianzhi had been too harsh. On the contrary, Song Jinning found it wasn’t too extreme to watch the deaths of the Japanese people who had attempted to murder her son.

Watching the Japanese soldiers in their insulating suits as they jumped into the water, Song Jinning took out her binoculars to observe them more closely.

She was curious to learn if wearing insulating suits would be an effective defense against the violet electric sparks.

After all, Huo Shaoheng his men had left the buoyed area before the violet electric arcs had appeared.

The calm ocean waves gently bobbed up and down as the grey silhouettes of the divers stretched out their limbs. Swimming like fishes, they got deeper and closer to the violet electric circle.

The Admiral of the Marine Corps watched the surface of the water keenly, on edge.

Suddenly, bursts of electricity erupted from the violet electric circle and a blackened corpse floated away. It was pushed outside the violet electric circle by the ocean currents.

Soon afterward, another series of electric shocks exploded from a different spot within the violet electric circle and another burnt corpse floated to the surface.

The Admiral of the Marine Corps’ expression fell, and he immediately commanded personnel to retrieve the corpses from the water.

After a quick inspection of the bodies, they confirmed that the two corpses were two of the personnel who had just gone into the water. The insulated suits on their bodies had appeared to have instantly melted from the high electrical voltage.

It was truly a horrifying sight to see.

Not long after, all ten of the Japanese Marine Corps soldiers they had sent in, clad in insulated diving suits, had all perished to a man.

The Japanese on the warship cried out in pain and thumped their chests hard, crying hard. Their hearts had been broken.

Song Jinning set down her binoculars in satisfaction before recording her observations in a notebook.

“The electric fence was exactly as powerful as we predicted. Currently, insulated diving suits are unable to break through the electrical barrier at all. This type of electricity appears to have a defense rating and a reliability rating of AAA+.”

“Notify the captain that we may return now.” Song Jinning put away her science equipment and hummed a cheery tune. There was no need to conduct further observation in the area, as she was confident that the Japanese would be unable to enter. In a few more hours, the oxygen in the frogmen’s scuba equipment would be depleted.

If she continued to look on, she would be scolded for watching the tragedy unfold.

Ten hours later, all the TV nations on Blue Planet were broadcasting the breaking news updates, reported first on Japanese TV stations. The Japanese elite frogmen soldiers had finally escaped the violet electric circle.

However, they all floated away from it as blackened corpses. Over two hundred men had been killed in action.

Of course, such shocking footage had been censored. Everyone could only see images on their TV screens that were censored by mosaics, and they all lamented the loss of life.

The newly elected Prime Minister of the Huaxia Empire, Bai Jiancheng was the first to call in to express his sincere condolences. Although in truth, he had already expressed his condolences before his call…

At that moment, Gu Nianzhi, Huo Shaoheng, and Yin Shining were having dinner in the dining room.

They also had a wall-mounted TV on the opposite wall, and Gu Nianzhi frowned, “Are they trying to make me lose my appetite or something?”

Huo Shaoheng and Yin Shixiong kept silent, but they both set down their cutlery to watch the TV report intently.

Soon afterward, the TV camera panned to the Japanese Imperial Palace, the residence of the Emperor.

The Emperor of Japan had a sad expression on his face and was in the middle of giving a speech to console his citizens. In particular, he expressed his condolences to the families of the deceased frogmen.

“The Emperor of Japan looks quite serene.” Gu Nianzhi finally dared to look at the TV and couldn’t help but remark upon it.

Huo Shaoheng kept his head down, as he calmly cut up his steak, and replied, “The current Emperor of Japan is quite interesting, he once said that there are only four dates that he would absolutely not forget in his heart, June 23rd, August 6th, August 9th, and August 15th.”

“Oh? Do these four dates have some special meanings?” Gu Nianzhi asked, curious.

Huo Shaoheng didn’t respond, so Yin Shixiong chimed in.

He replied gruffly, “June 23rd was when the battle of Okinawa ended, which also signified the end of the Pacific War.”

“August 6th was the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.”

“August 9th was the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.”

“August 15th was the day Japan was defeated and surrendered. However, the Japanese don’t consider themselves as having been defeated. They simply view it as the day the war ended. This is completely different from how we understand defeat and surrender.”

“You see, none of these dates signify an anniversary of the immense pain the Japanese inflicted on the people of other countries, these are all anniversaries of the pain suffered by the Japanese themselves.”

“And these painful memories were all completely brought on upon themselves.” Yin Shixiong fists thudded into the table heavily, “They don’t have a desire to repent, that’s exactly how the Japanese are.”

“Which country did they cause any less pain than the pain they suffered themselves in turn? As expected, if you don’t treat the people of other countries as human, you start to believe that only your countrymen’s lives hold value.” Gu Nianzhi shook her head, “I take back what I said, there is something wrong with the Emperor of Japan. It’s no wonder their citizens ended up fish food.”

“So you don’t need to pay heed to what they say.” Huo Shaoheng finished eating the last piece of steak on his plate and continued calmly, “We need only do what we have to do. We should rather die than do things that we don’t have a moral justification to do.”

Gu Nianzhi and Yin Shining nodded together, “Understood, Huo Shao.”

After dinner, Huo Shaoehng and Yin Shixiong went to watch Hong Kangquan’s interrogation video, while Gu Nianzhi returned to her room. No sooner has she started to read over the Senate exam questions Huo Shaoheng had given her when she heard her phone ring.

When she grabbed her phone to take a look, she saw it was He Zhichu who was calling her.
