Tang Ning cleared his throat and replied in a deep voice: "This second method is to find some so-called experts and scholars and let them make up some specious and ambiguous theories to fool the public. ”

"Can you find such an expert? And the Japanese are not stupid, how could they listen to such statements? Lieutenant Colonel Tom asked, puzzled.

And Tang Ning replied disapprenously: "As long as you are willing to pay, how can you not find it?" Not to mention that we can use this to establish a good relationship with our Allied Command, and I believe that even if you don't give money, someone will take the initiative to do this work. As for the question of trust, yes, this kind of statement is indeed difficult to convince, but there is a saying in the East that a lie will become the truth if it is said a thousand times, and the more you read it, some people will naturally believe it.

And even if the people don't believe it, they can share part of their attention and anger on these nonsense so-called experts, isn't that a good thing for us? There is no doubt that this strategy of Downing also comes from the Celestial Empire.

After listening to Downing's analysis, Lieutenant Colonel Tom gave a thumbs up and praised: "It makes sense, it makes sense, Tony really didn't see it, you still have such a political talent, this time according to what you said, I decided to take a two-pronged approach, and strive to solve this trouble as soon as possible." ”

So Tom, while applying to the criminal soldiers to be treated as "temporary workers" and for them to publicly apologize to the Japanese people, began to recruit shameless "experts and professors" to make nonsense in newspapers, radio and other media, and fabricate all kinds of strange excuses to wash the floor for the US military.

Soon the Allied Command approved Tom's application, but Downing privately deeply suspected that this was because the bad things were all black soldiers, and if it was a white soldier, it would probably not be so simple, so now the racial discrimination in the United States is still very serious, and it seems that his previous trip to "Running for Governor" did not play a big role. But then again, according to statistics, most of the vicious cases committed by the US military in Japan are black soldiers, and I don't know the specific reason for this......

I don't know if it's because these two countermeasures proposed by Downing really worked, but the turmoil did subside quickly, and Downing also got the respect of Lieutenant Colonel Tom, and soon after arranged an important job for him, that is, "investigating the emperor".

On this day, as soon as Downing came to the office, he was called over by Tom: "Tony, I have a very interesting thing that I want you to do." ”

"Tell me anything!" Tang Ning replied without hesitation.

Tom said quietly, "You read the letter first, and then you will speak." With that, Tom pushed the beautifully framed letter to Downing.

Downing took it and looked at it, and was immediately stunned, because this was a letter written by a person who called himself "Emperor Kumazawa" to General MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, in which this "Emperor Kumazawa" claimed that he was the real emperor of Japan, and the current Emperor Showa was actually a shameless liar and a villain who stole a high position, so "Emperor Kumazawa" implored the current "emperor" MacArthur of Japan to administer justice for him and regain his own imperial throne.

Originally, Tang Ning thought that this guy was a madman, but after looking at the evidence he listed later and the complicated history of Japan's Northern and Southern Dynasties, Tang Ning was also a little confused, so he asked Tom: "Lieutenant Colonel, is what this guy said true or false?" (For the specific situation, please know Baidu "Emperor Kumazawa".) ）

Tom spread his hands and said, "It's up to you to investigate this problem, and that's your task this time." But what is certain is that this guy values our strength in Japan, so he dared to write to Mr. Commander rashly, and if it had been any other time, he would have been killed by the Showa Emperor by jumping out like this. ”

Then his words changed: "But in fact, it doesn't matter to us whether this Emperor Kumazawa is true or false, and I don't necessarily want you to investigate a result when I send you to investigate this time, the important thing is to have such an investigation process, and then depending on the next development of the situation, we will decide whether this Emperor Kumazawa is true or false, do you understand when I say this?" ”

Tang Ning thought carefully for a while, then nodded and replied: "I think I seem to understand a little, that is, let's make a gesture of investigation with great fanfare, and then see what the reaction of the Emperor Showa who lives in the palace is, if he is willing to obediently obey, then we will decide that this Emperor Kumasawa is fake; If he is disobedient, then this Emperor Kumazawa is real, and we can fully support his restoration, as for whether he is true or false, it does not matter. Am I right? ”

Tom applauded, "Tony, you're so smart, yes, that's what it means, so you should understand that this mission is actually very easy, and you should think of it as a vacation." ”

So Tang Ning, who received the mission, took a group of reporters to Nagoya to investigate the Emperor Kumazawa, and when he arrived here, Tang Ning found out that the emperor was actually just a bad old man who opened a grocery store, and his grocery store was blown up during the bombing of the US military, so now he is actually a jobless vagrant.

However, the Emperor Kumazawa was very excited about the arrival of the American officers and American reporters like Downing, and he saw that he was wearing a sixteen-petal chrysanthemum kimono that only the Japanese emperor could wear, and said to them with a strict appearance: "I am very relieved that you can come to participate in this righteous act!" ”

Hearing him say this, Tang Ning complained in his heart, You have all mixed up to this point, and you still put the emperor's score with me? But after thinking about it, it's right, this guy only has to play the score now, otherwise there will be no chance to turn over.

But understanding is understanding, Tang Ning didn't have time to play with him to see this play, so he kicked the reporters out of the house and said coldly: "If you have this attitude, then there is nothing to say, tomorrow I will let the reporters say that you are a madman in the newspaper!" ”

Originally, Tang Ning thought that this Emperor Xiong Ze would argue with him, but he didn't expect him to immediately flattered Tang Ning with a smile on his face: "Lord Captain, don't be angry, I'm just pretending to be used to it recently, I'm still counting on you to help me reset the throne, how dare I have a bad attitude towards you?" The rapid change in his attitude made Tang Ning breathtaking, even better than the people in the two-faced country in "Mirror Flowers" in his memory......
