The Amazing son in law Chapter 7904

Without a doubt, the heads of Japan’s defense department and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology were furious at this moment.

But for them, anger solves nothing, because it is anger directed at America.

Therefore, they didn’t even have the courage to refute the unreasonable demands of the US military leaders.

After all, this matter is not entirely the fault of the United States. They did send troops under the pretext of helping Japan, and now that something has gone wrong, Japan certainly cannot stand idly by.

However, the extent to which Japan would acknowledge responsibility became a point of contention between the two sides.

Japan feels that this is like two drivers who don’t follow traffic rules causing an accident. Everyone is responsible, and it’s impossible to make one party bear full responsibility. If the US military commandos were to abuse their own research team members, they would definitely tolerate it if it hadn’t been exposed. But now that it’s been exposed, how can they still tolerate it?

So the official from the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology mustered his courage and said, “Sir, you can’t put all the blame on us, especially for something like the mistreatment of research team members. If we’re to take the blame, how are we supposed to explain this to the other research team members and scientists? Everyone here is just working in various units under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, not military personnel. Even if we make mistakes at work, we should resolve them through normal civil and commercial procedures. If they find out that we resort to force or even request the intervention of foreign troops, how will we maintain our reputation in the future?”

The head of the defense department quickly added, “Yes, sir. We can publicly admit that we requested the US to send troops, but the US needs to give us a public explanation for the mistreatment of our research team members. That would be fair and reasonable.”

The U.S. military official retorted sharply, “Fairness? Where is the fairness?! When your entire nation was starving and MacArthur had to come to the U.S. Congress to beg for food for you, why didn’t you talk about fairness then?! When you used your geographical advantage to become a Cold War bridgehead and received countless supplies and aid from us, why didn’t you talk about fairness then?! Now that we need you to take the blame, you’re talking to me about fairness?!”

The two Japanese men were immediately embarrassed.

Although they weren’t together, and although they were only on video call, they couldn’t help but look at each other on the screen, hoping the other could come up with a way to refute the US military official.

However, neither of them could find a suitable breakthrough point.

The U.S. military official gradually lost patience and said coldly, “The White House will be holding a press conference soon. I hope you two won’t waste any more time here. If this matter has a significant negative impact on the United States, rest assured, given our style of doing things, the consequences will make you pay back tenfold or a hundredfold. Perhaps because of your insistence today, some Japanese citizens will lose their jobs in the future, and some Japanese companies will go bankrupt. You need to think about these things carefully as soon as possible. If you can’t decide, then report the matter to your superiors and let them decide. I’ll wait for you for twenty minutes.”

After saying that, the US military official left the video conference.

The two Japanese men were extremely embarrassed. In this situation, they naturally dared not make a decision casually. So, after discussing it, they decided to immediately report the matter to the cabinet and let the cabinet give a conclusion.

Some things can be passed down not only to those below you, but also to those above you. As long as you have the courage to shirk responsibility, you can tell your boss, “I’ve already done this much, you figure out how to solve it.” The boss can’t do anything about it; at most, they’ll just fire you.

Looking back now, being fired doesn’t matter anymore, as long as they don’t have to bear the responsibility to their country. What if they didn’t serve America well, and America retaliates against Japan later? Wouldn’t they become traitors to Japan? At that point, it wouldn’t just be about losing their jobs; who knows, one day some gunman might jump out and kill them.

Upon receiving the report, the cabinet did not dare to delay for even a moment and immediately convened a meeting with all its members to discuss the matter.

While the cabinet was still discussing what to do, Sara, who was far away in Antarctica, also received the news.
