Chapter 60: The God-Making Project (Part II)

The four of them, including Kurobe and Saito, sat quietly and waited for him to continue.

"Once upon a time, our forefathers fought an unjust war. After the defeat of the war, the country, as a defeated country, accepted the sanctions of the United States"

As soon as Mifune spoke, everyone's faces changed. That war, even after three or four generations, is still a taboo subject in Japan. Not only because Japan lost, but more importantly, because it was an unjust war.

Even so, there are many extreme people who try to glorify that history. However, the facts are the facts, and the government, which cannot accept the facts calmly, can only turn them into taboos and serve as the last fig leaf.

But what does this have to do with this agreement?

This question arose in the minds of several people, but none of them asked. Just be a good listener and listen to him quietly.

"No people like war, no!" Speaking of war, a few rays of fire suddenly appeared in Mifune's eyes, which were hatred, resentment, and grief. "We are the ones who suffer in war, and we are the ones who suffer after war"

The topic seems to have shifted from tennis to war and peace. But listening to Mifune's words, several people could even feel the suffering after the war. Internal and external troubles, even to the extent of cannibalism, and those two destroyers who destroyed the world made the empire at that time lose its last hope.

"After the war, it took us two generations of hard work in exchange for extremely cheap funding from the United States. It is a debt and a sin, but it is filled with the blood and flesh of our descendants. ”

Mifune's words made several people feel as if they had returned to that era of suffering.

When the war ended, people did not wait for peace and tranquility. More often than not, it is the use of labor to repay the reparations for the defeat. Ninety-five percent of the fruits of a year's hard work were handed over to the government, and that time was a nightmare.

But, after all, he survived.

Mifune was born at that time, and witnessed how a ruined country struggled through suffering. He was lucky enough to become one of the first batch of international students at that time.

At that time, Japanese students were most enthusiastic about American universities. At the University of California, San Francisco, it is hard to imagine that Mifune, who has such a rugged appearance, is actually a graduate of the world's top universities.

In the beginning, he studied medicine. It was then that he was introduced to tennis, something that completely changed his life.

"Tennis, what a wonderful thing"

Mifune spoke, remembering the bits and pieces of that time, and a little more sparkle appeared in his eyes.

"Because of it, I had a conflict with my father. In the end, I won and switched to tennis coaching. But" his tone changed, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. It was self-deprecation, a sad smile.

"My country is a desert of tennis"

Powerlessness, a deep sense of powerlessness. In the eyes of Shiraishi and several people, the Mifune in front of him seemed to be back to his youth, empty of blood, but in the face of tennis desertification Japan. It was as if he had been given a blow to the head, and his dream was shattered.

"In desperation, I left Japan. I went to the center of world tennis at that time, Europe, France. ”

France, the birthplace of tennis, is the country with the deepest tennis heritage. There, Mifune learned many things that he had not been able to touch before. Tennis became even more wonderful in his eyes.

"It's like life!"

What I saw in France opened another door for Mifune to see a more colorful world. It was also there that he came into contact with a man who changed his life.

"Robert. Habsburg"

Speaking of the name, there was a bit of brightness in his eyes, but more of it, it was bland.

Even if the other party was a member of that terrible family, even if the other party was once equivalent to half of his teacher, even if the other party had just taken away the most outstanding student he had cultivated.

At that time, Robert was just a reluctant member of the family, and he was deprived of the right to run the business by the family because of his obsession with tennis.

And when they met Mifune, the ideal sparks of the two young people collided together. So, they made a bold plan - to change the world tennis landscape!

And, both sides named it - 'God-making Project'!

"God-making plan?" Shiraishi couldn't help but say loudly. Just now, a flash of light flashed through his mind, and he seemed to have caught something.

"Heh" Mifune chuckled lightly and looked at the four of them: "In tennis in that era, there was no so-called different dimension and mimicry!" And what is used to distinguish ordinary players from players who truly understand the true meaning of tennis is called the 'realm of the gods'! ”

The realm of the gods!

The eyes of the four shrank, and Bai Shi remembered what Li Xiao had said to him. In other words, the realm of God, or the realm of selflessness, is the white circle of light that he sees?

"And with the gradual development of tennis in peacetime, the game system has become more perfect, and the gap between mortals and geniuses has been named one by one. But the so-called gap between the three transformations of the different dimensions to the divine realm is a qualitative change, a real crushing. ”

"Whether it is the top 10 or even the top 15 players in the past or the current tennis world, all of them have crossed the realm of God and mastered the true meaning of tennis. A super genius who stands out from thousands of players! ”

"The person who swings the racket in front of them, no matter what level they are, as long as they have never taken that step, is as funny as a beginner."

Bai Shi and the others' faces twitched, meaning that the game they were playing now was nothing more than a play house in Li Xiao's eyes? But as Mifune, he would definitely not use such words to deceive them.

For a while, the emotions of several people became a little complicated.

"Because the gap is too big, some people call the kind of situation that is extremely close to the position of the Divine Domain players 'Pseudo-Divine Domain'. It is also commonly known as the four turns! ”

"And this is where our 'God-making Project' begins"

God-making plan - contract agreement - ownership of seed island? In an instant, the eyes of several people in front of him lit up.

"But we were naΓ―ve." Mifune showed a wry smile and said sarcastically: "Tennis, after all, is a sport that only rich people can afford, but what we want to do is a tennis base."

Bitterness, self-deprecation, and even a little remorse.

"So, I made a decision that I could never forgive myself for – overdraft the future."

After he said this, Kurobe and Saito's faces changed, and they were a little puzzled to see Shiraishi. Mifune said with a wry smile: "That's right, the agreement was not signed after that game, but was written more than ten years ago. ”

There was a little more anger on the faces of the two of them, which eased up and became complicated again.

But Shiraishi was a little puzzled, since it was written more than ten years ago, why did it decide to Tanejima, could it be? Looking at Kurobe and Saito's gradually complex expressions, he suddenly realized.

Mifune sighed, "Every few years, the people we sign an agreement with need to send tennis talents to Germany. ”

We? The four of them were a little puzzled, weren't they just him and Robert?

Seeing their puzzled looks, Mifune nodded and said, "On behalf of Japan, I represent Japan, China's Dragon Jun, Spain's Blanco, and Serbia's and Montenegro's Iljevic."

Hey, it's no wonder that Germany's strength in tennis in recent years has far surpassed that of the old hegemons Britain, France and Switzerland, and it has won a terrifying nine consecutive hegemony. But in the individual competition, few Germans have made it to the top.

However, Shiraishi still asked out loud: "But why don't you see Chinese players in the German team?" And "He glanced at Mifune, but didn't continue to ask.

"As far as I know, China has gained more advanced technology and coaching resources at what cost, and does not need to send talents. As for us, only Taneshima has been swapped so far. Kurobe said, "As for the reason"

At this he paused, and looked at Mifune.

As if after a fierce battle between heaven and man, Mifune's face changed and changed, and his old face said with a hint of self-reproach: "That's because I persuaded someone for them!" ”

Alone? Shiraishi and Irie glanced at each other, both of them were a little surprised, who was the person that Mifune convince? Could it be the Prime Minister at the time? Or is it some big man in Europe?

Suddenly, a figure of a person appeared in Shiraishi's mind.

Minamijiro Echizen!

In this era that inherited the tennis Sampras and Agassi, with an absolute advantage, they won 37 consecutive victories that shocked Europe and the United States, and 37 championships without any water, and the Japanese samurai who pressed the European and American tennis world to the point that they could not hold their heads up. But when he was about to win that position, he made something that surprised countless people and kept guessing - quitting the tennis world!

I see, I see!

Several people were shocked. No wonder after that person retired, he never said the reason for his withdrawal.

Once, Shiraishi thought that the statement of retiring to concentrate on cultivating his son was very nonsense, because with Minami Jiro's strength at that time, it only took one game to reach that position. The argument that his son should go to climb is too far-fetched.

Now, everything is clear.

The samurai sacrificed his tennis career in exchange for Japan's tennis resources.

Wrong!

Shiraishi's heart was shocked, the cultivation that Nanjiro said should not be the cultivation of his son Ryoma. It's these people, the hope for the future of Japanese tennis.

So, is this the truth of the so-called 'God-making Project'? However, Germany did not get the super genius that really belonged to them, but simply the world's nine consecutive hegemony

Wait, Shiraishi's eyes suddenly widened, and another thought popped up in his heart. What if the so-called 'god' does not refer to the realm of tennis, but to status?

Think about the scene that caused a sensation as soon as Germany appeared in the warm-up game.

"They've succeeded."
