Chapter 162

Shuri Castle east of Naha City, the royal capital of the ancient Ryukyu period.

Prior to this, it was only preserved as a site of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Even during the previous Japanese occupation, the Japanese ZF carried out a lot of repairs and imitations here, making it an ancient capital, and applying for a world cultural heritage for it.

But with a rumbling earth-shattering sound, the whole world looked at the stormy country of the Ryukyus again in amazement.

In the newly-born Ryukyu Kingdom, under the order of Zhang Lie, all the buildings in Shuri Castle that were later repaired were destroyed.

The Ryukyuan people focused on the outside of Shuri Castle, looking at the smoke and dust in the distance, and their mood was calm. As if the blasted place was not an important place at all, this ancient city built on the mountain will finally regain its former glory.

The explosion of Shuri Castle directly led to the condemnation of the whole world. In particular, the United Nations made a direct call to Ryukyu Prime Minister Ishino.

Subsequently, at the Ryukyu Cabinet press conference, it was officially announced to the world. Shuri Castle, which was restored during the Japanese occupation, is not the real Shuri Castle, it is the product of the beautification of the Japanese invading army, and does not conform to the history of the Ryukyus.

As the new Ryukyu Kingdom, there is no need for this kind of architecture with beautifying Japanese colors. At the same time, it was announced that Shuri Castle would be rebuilt, and that he would be stored in the Ryukyu Kingdom as the royal city of the Ryukyus, and that he would be the holy city of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Ryukyu's remarks immediately caused an uproar in the world. After all, Shurijo Castle is a World Heritage Site, but it is supported by the United Nations. This move by the Ryukyus is obviously a slap in the face of the United Nations.

But Shuri Castle has been destroyed, and even if everyone condemns it again, it will be useless, so they can only set their eyes on Shuri Castle again.

Prime Minister Ishino, as the news presenter, did not care at all about the accusations and inquiries of these media reporters from all over the world.

At this moment, in addition to the front-line war correspondents stationed in various countries, the staff of various foreign enterprises and institutions, ZF organizations, etc., have withdrawn from the Ryukyu Kingdom.

The whole world is not optimistic about this war between the Ryukyus and Japan, although the United States does not intend to participate in this war. However, the US Pacific Fleet has closely monitored Russia and China to prevent them from interfering in this war.

Although the whole world knew that war would break out at any time, the news that came back from the Ryukyus did not feel the atmosphere of war at all. The people on Ryukyu Island, except for the fact that there are more celebrations, there is no difference between the rest and usual. It can even be said that their enthusiasm for work is even higher than usual.

The whole world is very strange about this situation, knowing that Japan is coming, how they are not worried at all.

These foreign journalists interviewed many Ryukyuan people, and when they answered this question, the Ryukyuan people were surprisingly unanimous, believing that their king would lead them to victory, that the Ryukyus would surely defeat the evil of Japan, and that justice would prevail.

In the words of Fred Abbott, a New York Times correspondent in the Ryukyus, the thinking of the people on the island of Ryukyu today is surprisingly consistent with that of the people of the early days of the Japanese Empire during World War II. But Japan during World War II, after all, after decades of militaristic education, would have that effect. But why did Ryukyu, an ordinary king Zhang Lie, give them such a high degree of cohesion. In the end, Fred Abbott can only attribute to the fact that the people of the Ryukyu Islands have longed for a long time, and their ancestors have been looking forward to the day when they will be able to regain their freedom, and after several generations, their wish has finally come true. Even if this wish is just an attic in the sky, they are willing to pounce on it one after another. And King Zhang Lie has become the greatest spiritual sustenance of the Ryukyuan people for a hundred years.

Perhaps in order to confirm his point, the New York Times reporter Fred Abbott gave a detailed account of the major events that have taken place in the Ryukyu Islands in the past hundred years. In particular, Japan has carried out several genocides on the Ryukyu Islands, and the oppression of the Ryukyuan people by Japan today. Far from frightening the Ryukyuan people, these made their hatred of Japan deeper.

As soon as this article by a reporter from the New York Times came out, it instantly shocked Americans. This article of his undoubtedly caused Americans' favorability towards Japan to plummet, and they regarded the resistance of the Ryukyuan people as righteous and the struggle of the Ryukyuan people for freedom.

The residence of the Prime Minister of Naha City, many media wanted to interview Ryukyu Prime Minister Ishino.

Because at the previous press conference, Ishino used two words when describing Shuri Castle, the royal castle and the holy city.

Everyone is studying what Ishino means by this, could it be that the Ryukyu Kingdom is preparing to move the capital.

It's just that at that time, because of too much condemnation and discussion about the bombing of the world's cultural heritage, no one noticed this. When I went back, I realized that the Ryukyus' position in Shurijo Castle seemed to be very special.

When Fred Abbott saw Ishino coming out, he hurried after him and shouted, "Your Excellency Ishino, I'm a reporter from the New York Times, I have a question for you, please give me a minute." ”

Ishino wasn't going to answer any reporters' questions, but when he heard this man report his identity, he suddenly remembered an article published in the New York Times. The appearance of this article directly saved the Ryukyus a lot of reputation in the world.

"What's your name?" Ishino paused and asked.

"Hello, Excellency Ishino, I'm New York Times reporter Fred Abbott, please give me a minute to be interviewed!" When Abbott saw Ishino stop, he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly said his request.

"I read your article, thank you for your objective reporting. If you have any problems, as long as you don't embarrass me, I think I'll sue you. Ishino said with a smile.

Since becoming the prime minister of the Ryukyus, Ishino's international status has also been rising. Especially in the face of the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Japan, he was not frightened at all, and directly hit back at the two with a tough attitude. And when walking on the road, the waist is extremely straight. Moreover, the Great Elder of Huaguo, when talking to him in Russia, was polite and did not underestimate it at all. Ishino naturally has his own pride, and he doesn't care about the so-called Japanese attack. With the king here, he doesn't need to worry about these things at all, as long as the country is built well, he, the prime minister, can continue to do it smoothly.

"I would like to ask Your Excellency Ishino if Ryukyu has any plans to move the capital. You said earlier that Shurijo Castle would be the royal or provincial capital of the Ryukyus, can you explain the true meaning of these two words? ”

To be continued.
