Chapter 3714: Crushing (Part Three)
Michiko Matsuyama first looked at the three high-ranking generals of the arbitration committee, then at the judge of the assessment team. At last, her gaze landed on the instructor, Li Jinnian. He was a young lieutenant colonel who was very compatible with the perfect Prince Charming in the hearts of young women. If it wasn’t for the fact that they were enemies now, Michiko Matsuyama would have wanted to run over in casual clothes and ask this young lieutenant colonel for his contact number.
Unfortunately, the two of them were destined to be enemies. No matter how perfect he was, she could only be left with regrets.
“May I ask why you don’t accept our apology? Do you think we’re not sincere enough?” As she spoke, she suddenly crossed her hands in front of her abdomen and bowed deeply to Li Jinnian. “I’m very, very sorry. I’m very sorry for our mistake. Please forgive us this time, okay?”
Right on the heels of that, another female student from the Japan Staff Academy, Mai Yoshida, also bowed deeply to express her apology. As the two female students did this, the other students lowered their heads and apologized to the Chinese students again.
Even Maki Fujino and Fukumoto Lina lowered their heads sincerely.
If lowering their heads could save them from being disqualified from the competition, it didn’t matter.
They could still tell which was more important.
This move was also very good. This way, it would seem that the Chinese were narrow-minded if they didn’t accept their apology.
Michiko Matsuyama, who came from the Japan Staff Academy, had indeed come up with this plan. She was reminded by their instructor, Hirano Ling, which was why she stood up and used this move.
From the looks of it, this move was indeed useful.
The expressions of the three senior generals from the arbitration committee softened instantly. Compared to the Korean students who had been disqualified from the competition, the attitude of the Japanese students was exceptionally good. It was so good that they could at least see their sincerity.
The Chinese students had cold expressions on their faces.
More than ten people exchanged glances with each other. There were even secret hand signals. Ye Jian nodded slightly, indicating that she could step forward directly. However, she was pulled back by Zhang Minghong, who sighed softly. “We can’t let you always step forward and be the target of their hatred. As soldiers, we have to stand up for the dignity of the country.
“All three of you have expressed your stance. It’s time for us to show our stance.” A male student stepped forward. “Let me show them our attitude.”
Hearing this, Ye Jian took half a step back and said to the student seriously, “Okay! I’ll leave it to you!”
“Don’t worry!” The student nodded at his country’s students and stepped forward. He walked all the way to the instructor, Li Jinnian, and said firmly, “We can accept your apology, but you’re wrong about one point. The one that got knocked down is our flag. Please bow down and apologize to our country’s flag!”
Then, he said to their instructor, Li Jinnian, “Instructor, let’s raise the fallen flag first. Only then can the Japanese students lower their heads and apologize to our country’s flag.”
Lower their heads and apologize to the flag of another country…
The Japanese students and instructor seemed to have heard something unbelievable. They stared at the Chinese student in shock.
They could apologize to the Chinese students for their actions, but they could not bow down to the Chinese flag. This was not an ordinary act of bowing down and apologizing. It was an insult to the country!
They couldn’t give such an apology!
