Chapter 2110 - 2110: A Tactful Visit to Japan

Liu Zhizhong certainly wasn't overflowing with enthusiasm; he was very steady.

He responded to Hengtian Poma's welcoming speech with very formal and apt words, thus kicking off a very composed visit to Little Japan.

After all, this visit of his has fully established the precedent for heads of states visiting Little Japan, and the whole world is watching!

To be honest, Liu Zhizhong mainly didn't want to overly provoke Great East Pot.

Great East Pot is a very special big pot; you can't provoke it too excessively, or else who knows what it might do to provoke you?

Although some things are absurdly laughable, perhaps it's best if they don't happen.

Originally, the relationship between Great East Pot and Little Japan is already very sensitive and delicate.

And between Wale Republic and Great East Pot, it's also sensitive and delicate.

Finding a balance in this sensitivity and delicacy is truly a test of political wisdom.

Therefore, Liu Zhizhong played this political skill and art really well, ha ha…

For example, in his speech at the airport, he was very steady and measured.

For instance, traditionally, a head of state visiting Little Japan would arrange to visit their Heavenly Emperor during the trip.

Heavenly Emperor is similar to the King of England; it's just a symbol.

Moreover, the role of the Heavenly Emperor and his family are products of a historically warped development. As a country's king, they are merely mascots.

However, historically, the Heavenly Emperor agreed to and implemented Meiji Restoration, which allowed Little Japan to develop into a powerful nation, so he does have some credit.

As a national symbol, for a head of state visiting Little Japan, visiting the current Heavenly Emperor is actually justifiable.

But Liu Zhizhong did not go, citing the need for politically equivalent visits. At the same time, he clearly told Hengtian Poma that he did not wish to meet a king whose father brought great disasters to the Valle people.

Such a statement is very reasonable.

Because the Heavenly Emperor who initiated the invasion war was actually the father of the current Heavenly Emperor. Of course, the one who issued the surrender was also this old Heavenly Emperor.

And such statements are also quite bold, carrying Liu Zhizhong's personal style.

He further stated that he would never make the visit. Hengtian Poma naturally didn't force him either.

Although the office of the Heavenly Emperor also issued an invitation, expressing that the Heavenly Emperor invited Liu Zhizhong for dinner, Liu Zhizhong refused, stating he preferred to enjoy the night view of the bay from Reijing Tower and have a meal of Little Japanese Akita rice.

Moreover, Liu Zhizhong won't visit any shrine, which includes the one where the recently sentenced internet celebrity peed.

In this regard, Liu Zhizhong was very clear-minded. If he went, it would truly hurt national sentiment greatly or rather racial emotions!

Whether or not to visit the shrine, in Liu Zhizhong's view, is truly the last line that he and the Valle people and Great East Pot people can bear.

So, of course, he wouldn't go, and he never would.

Despite Little Japan extending the invitation, stating Liu Zhizhong could represent the Valle people to vent a bit at the shrine, Liu Zhizhong still refused.

The world still harbors many dark forces. Even if you went to vent and denounce the war criminals enshrined, malicious individuals would still smear you, claiming you went to worship ghosts, which is unnecessary trouble.

Smart people don't proactively seek trouble, right?

However, Liu Zhizhong did visit that nuclear power plant on Da Fudao Island, this is true.

Regarding whether the wastewater is waste or not, Liu Zhizhong is very clear and well-informed, and even had a Little Japanese-style seafood feast with Hengtian Poma in the city near the power plant, and yes, the taste was indeed quite good, ha ha!

Nonetheless, once this matter was reported in the news, some groups still smeared and cursed, but Liu Zhizhong didn't care.

After all, in some people's eyes, the nuclear wastewater has quite a spirit.

Little Japanese wastewater is meant to pollute the entire globe.

While the nuclear test pollution from neighboring Beicao can be ignored, not harming the friendly Great East Pot people.

Furthermore, the large amounts of wastewater discharged into the sea by the Evil Luo People next door would selectively not pollute the limitless cooperative Pot Family, ha ha…

At the same time, banning the import of Little Japanese seafood was but a joke, and the civil boycott even more so.

This ban suddenly hit their own seafood business hard, leaving many bankrupt overnight, some people didn't even think about it, regardless of your survival.

The civil boycott, because they can't eat Little Japanese imports? Truth be told, their grade is so high, can regular folks afford it? They don't even have the qualifications; it's like ducks boycotting foreign chicken on behalf of Quanjude shareholders.

The logic is clear, take what you need, discard what you don't, ha ha…

But surely, someone might wonder, what did Liu Zhizhong go to this power plant for?

Of course, to visit and learn, discussing nuclear power technology development matters.

Isn't it that upstream of Wale Republic's Pajiang, in Great East Pot's Changnan State, two step-measuring power plants are already built and operational? Why does Wale still need power plants?

Indeed it does.

Recently, Liu Zhizhong and his think tank team have completely realized.

In terms of energy, especially electricity, Wale's dependence on Great East Pot is quite strong, and lately, Great East Pot has been somewhat blocking in this area.

Electricity purchasing is a national-level enterprise duel between Great East Country and Wale, although most electricity comes from Yunxi Province and Tianchuan Province, local forces like Tang Zhi in these two provinces truly cannot affect national-level strategies!

Hence, Liu Zhizhong plans to play an interesting card.

Visiting Da Fudao Nuclear Power Plant is a signal to Great East Pot. You better obediently sell me electricity, ensure stable supply, costs can be a bit lower, or else I'll develop nuclear power technology, and just ask if you're afraid?

On the other hand, Liu Zhizhong is genuinely preparing to develop nuclear power technology; this is part of the strategic think tank plan. While possessing nuclear power technology, with Wale's current military technology, within two or three years, ha ha, possessing their own nuclear bomb is not impossible.

Nuclear bomb?

My gosh…

Does the Wadong Republic dare possess such a gas tank?

Aren't they afraid of the limitations of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty? Aren't they afraid of attracting international community attacks and prevention?

Don't worry, Liu Zhizhong's political wisdom is unimaginable by ordinary people, ha ha…
