Chapter 2109 - 2109

However, Liu Zhizhong's response to Hengtian Poma's invitation was indeed skillful.

Liu Zhizhong was not in a hurry to visit Little Japan, fully aware that some countries in the world are prone to reckless talk.

So he said, when Mr. Hengtian returns to Little Japan, he must have important governing matters to deal with, having become Prime Minister once again, and certainly will perform even better than the last time. I hope to visit after the perfect start, so as not to add to the chaos.

Hengtian Poma is a wise man, understanding well that Liu Zhizhong is surely interested in seeing how the matter of war reparations for the Valle People is being handled, right?

As a result, Hengtian Poma, too, was in no rush and showed understanding, saying that he hoped when President Chi Zhongshui chooses the right time to visit, Little Japan would certainly welcome him with open arms, ensuring he would not be disappointed.

There was a time when Little Japan was the world's second-largest economy, and the Wale Region was ranked among the lowest globally, completely overlooked by Little Japan. But now, times have changed, and the influence of the Wale Republic in the world makes it impossible for Little Japan to underestimate it and must give it due importance!

Thus, upon returning to Little Japan, Hengtian Poma actively and forcefully advanced the related matters, achieving significant results very smoothly. Meanwhile, relevant departments in Wale also cooperated, conducting serious historical research and relevant identity verification. After all, Wale had established the world's most comprehensive genetic database because of the prior compensation issues with the Great East Pot Expeditionary Army.

About half a year later, as the Wale New Year approached once again, Little Japan's procedures advanced swiftly, already confirming the list of personnel eligible for compensation, just awaiting final approval from the parliament for disbursement.

At this juncture, Hengtian Poma extended another invitation to President Chi Zhongshui to visit.

Liu Zhizhong, upon learning of the relevant details, agreed. After all, at this time, Hengtian Poma stated that the parliament would certainly pass this procedure, and the ceremonial significance of disbursing the funds still required the President's personal participation to express Little Japan's reflection on the war and sincerity in compensating for past suffering.

This time, Little Japan's first batch of compensation would amount to as much as 45 billion US dollars, all transferred directly to the private accounts of the recipients in a very fair manner, without government intervention.

Such a huge sum, if in another country eligible for compensation, the government would surely say, "We will help you receive it; we fear you might be defrauded."

Anyway, as the news spread, some governments were genuinely envious to the point of green-eyed jealousy. That was indeed a hefty sum that could be manipulated for many purposes, sigh... The darn Wale Government, truly foolish, how could they act this way?!

At this point, some governments could only incite their netizens to denounce Little Japan online, curse them, and demand compensation.

But due to certain historical reasons, no matter how those governments' populace demanded compensation, it was probably of no use, truly a pity! Some civil groups probably don't know that the organizations they cherish had given up demanding compensation from Little Japan decades ago, having written it into the bilateral agreements, alas...

However, the Wale Region did not give up! Because it hadn't truly become a country, nor was it a powerful nation.

Now, the Wale Republic has put forth such an issue with historical factual basis, and thus Little Japan must pay compensation.

Moreover, because Wale is now a strong Wale, no longer one that can be bullied at will, hehe...

What do you call this?

This is truly what it means for a nation to be strong!

Strength that stays at the level of actual power, rather than just on paper, is more powerful and more influential, right?

Of course, this issue is something Liu Zhizhong truly has to thank Old Warlord Peng Zhensheng for.

After serving a term as the Governor of Kachin State, Peng Zhensheng retired with honor during the second term, concluding his glorious career as the King of Wale.

Nevertheless, the Old Peng Family, which prospered in Wale for over a century, did something truly beneficial for the people of Wale. They preserved many materials from the war era, such as who were conscripted, how many laborers were taken by Little Japan, and laborer rosters, all preserved well.

Moreover, regarding the old local names of Wale Region, old territorial divisions, intelligence information on the Little Japan army that invaded the Wale Region, the Peng Family kept all of this.

Thanks to this evidence, Liu Zhizhong could further enhance his compensation claims.

Therefore, before heading to meet Hengtian Poma at the airport, Liu Zhizhong was already well-informed of these materials and had discussed them in detail with Old Peng, receiving his strong support and endorsement.

The Wale Republic era, benefiting the common people, truly fared much better than the Warlord era, this was Old Peng's genuine sentiment.

When Liu Zhizhong received the invitation from Hengtian Poma, he naturally knew how far things had progressed, thus he agreed with delight.

With the Wale lunar New Year approaching, the last visit before the New Year was arranged for Little Japan, just to perfectly conclude the event.

However, what Liu Zhizhong couldn't have imagined was that this visit to Little Japan would hold even more extraordinary significance, and indeed produce astonishing outcomes.

Before departing, Liu Zhizhong arranged for his personal affairs, and comforted those he needed to comfort, hehe...

The President had work responsibilities, life is life, both couldn't be managed perfectly, but neither should be neglected. The title "Master of Life Management" is indeed well-known!

But before setting out, Liu Zhizhong held a meeting with his advisory team, foreseeing possible actions from Little Japan and how to respond.

Simultaneously, Liu Zhizhong also selected a batch of experts to form a personal advisory team to accompany him on the trip. Encountering thorny issues, it still depends on these true experts.

After all, Little Japan is also a complex country, with many historical issues being complex. Bringing true experts would double the results with half the effort.

Liu Zhizhong's advisory team experts were truly not just idle scholars, coming from all over the world with either prestigious academic backgrounds or college education experiences, knowing a lot too!

The presidential aircraft took off and landed in Little Japan's Reijing International Airport on time.

There, Hengtian Poma, personally leading his team, warmly welcomed Liu Zhizhong and his party.

Moreover, they prepared for Liu Zhizhong and his group a special Cherry Blossom Fan Dance, used only for heavyweight foreign guests by Little Japan. After the dance, Hengtian Poma offered very special and famous sake from Little Japan to Liu Zhizhong to welcome him and delivered an enthusiastic speech, hehe...
