Chapter 206 Ministry of Foreign Affairs press conference (Ch 206)

I glanced at the countdown on the computer screen:

01:00:00

There is one hour left until the end of the second day of the Doomsday copy.

“Tuantuan, please report on the public opinion situation in Tokyo.” Su Yang asked.

“Currently, the Tokyo Municipal Government is under great pressure. More and more people are taking to the streets to protest, and opposition lawmakers have submitted a proposal to Congress to review the plan to discharge nuclear waste water,” Tuantuan reported. “However, the attitude of the Tokyo Municipal Government remains tough.”

After a pause, Tuantuan continued to report, “There is another piece of news. The Tokyo Municipal Government has issued a protest statement to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, condemning our hackers for attacking their network system and demanding that we stop the attack immediately.”

“Haha, what is the reaction of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs?” Su Yang asked with a smile.

“No response yet.” Tuantuan replied, “Dad, in half an hour, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs will hold a routine press conference. I have linked the live broadcast to your computer.”

The image of the press conference hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs appeared on Su Yang’s computer screen. Many media reporters from all over the world had gathered in the press conference hall.

In the press conference room, lights flickered, illuminating the bright red national emblem on the podium. Below the podium, journalists from all over the world sat upright, their cameras ready, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

“Click, click…”

A brisk footsteps sounded, and a female spokesperson wearing a dark blue suit, white shirt, and red tie walked up to the podium with a smile on her face. She placed the documents in her hand on the podium gracefully, glanced at the audience, and began today’s press conference gracefully.

“Good morning, dear friends from the press! Welcome to today’s regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the reporters in the audience raised their hands.

The spokesperson looked around the audience with a smile on her face, and pointed to a reporter from the French news agency sitting in the first row.

“Thank you, spokesperson.” The AFP reporter is a blond, blue-eyed white man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. “I am a reporter from the AFP. My question is about the discharge of nuclear wastewater by the Japanese government. May I ask the spokesperson, what is the attitude of the Dragon government towards this matter? Will it take action to stop the Japanese government from doing this?”

The spokesperson smiled and said calmly, “The Longhai government strongly opposes the decision of the Japanese government to discharge nuclear wastewater despite opposition from the international community. The impact of nuclear wastewater discharge on the marine environment and human health is immeasurable, and the Longhai government expresses serious concern about this. We urge the Japanese government to listen carefully to the voice of the international community, earnestly fulfill its international obligations, handle the nuclear wastewater issue in a responsible manner, and avoid irreversible damage to the global marine environment and human health.”

“Mr. Spokesperson, what specific measures will the Dragon government take to prevent the Japanese government from discharging nuclear wastewater?” a Reuters reporter asked.

“The Dragon government will continue to work with the international community to closely monitor developments and take all necessary measures to protect the marine environment and human health,” the spokesperson replied.

Next, several reporters raised questions about nuclear wastewater. They all hoped to get a clear answer from the Longguo government, but the spokesperson cleverly avoided these sensitive issues and only reiterated the Longguo government’s position without disclosing any specific action plan.

Halfway through the press conference, the spokesperson again pointed his finger at a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun sitting in the back row.

“Thank you, Spokesperson.” The Asahi Shimbun reporter stood up, looking serious. “My question is about the recent cyber attack in Tokyo. The Neon government has protested to your country, demanding that the Dragon government stop the hacking attacks. Could the spokesperson please respond to this?”

As soon as this question was asked, the atmosphere in the entire press conference hall suddenly became tense, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the spokesperson’s answer.

The spokesperson remained calm, “We have noted the relevant statement of the Neon government. The Dragon government has always opposed and combated any form of cyber attacks. We also call on the international community to work together to maintain peace and security in cyberspace.”

She paused, looked around the room sharply, and said more firmly, “What I want to say is that the root cause of this cyber attack is that the Japanese government ignored the voice of the international community and insisted on discharging nuclear wastewater. If the Japanese government can stop this wrong behavior, then all problems will be solved.”

The implication is that if you stop discharging nuclear wastewater, won’t everything be over?

There was silence in the press conference hall, and everyone was thinking about the deeper meaning of the spokesperson’s words.

In the rental house, Su Yang was watching the live broadcast of the press conference. He couldn’t help laughing when he saw this scene.

You are absolutely right.

Xiao Ri is still trying to exert pressure through diplomatic channels, but it seems that they haven’t been hurt yet, so let’s continue.

Su Yang glanced at the countdown on the computer screen:

00:10:00

There are still ten minutes until the third day of the Doomsday Dungeon.

The early morning sunlight filtered through the thin curtains into the room, illuminating the photo of a family of three placed on the table.

The man in the photo is called Kimura. He is wearing a dark blue suit, a white shirt and a dark red tie. His hair is combed neatly and he has a gentle smile on his face, looking like a typical Tokyo white-collar worker.

He’s going out.

“Kimura, are you really going to work today?” His wife came over with a hint of worry between her brows.

“Don’t worry, Mieko, it’s okay.” Kimura consoled her, “Look, traffic returned to normal yesterday evening, so there shouldn’t be any problems today.”

The wife was still a little worried, but she finally gave in. “Then be careful on the road and come back early.”

“Okay, I’m leaving.” After saying that, Kimura turned around and walked out of the house and drove out of the community.

The streets outside did seem to have returned to normal, with cars moving around and people coming and going, as if yesterday’s chaos was just a dream.

But has it really returned to normal?

Kimura drove along the familiar road, but he felt a little uneasy. Not far away, he saw an armored patrol car parked on the side of the road, with a dozen soldiers in camouflage uniforms and fully armed.

After driving a few hundred meters forward and passing a subway entrance, Kimura saw a conspicuous sign erected at the entrance: Out of Service.

The subway has not yet been restored.

All this is not over yet.
