Chapter 218: Reversing Black and White

The Japanese Embassy in the United States is holding a press conference at this time.

Matsuoka Yoyo stood in front of the podium, holding a copy of "Rabe's Diary" in his hand, and said into the microphone with a solemn face: "I can tell you very responsibly that the content described in this book is all fiction!" ”

A reporter in the audience raised his hand and asked, "Ambassador Matsuoka, do you mean that everything written in this book is fake?" ”

"That's right, it's all fake! Everything that our Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire did was to create a ***** circle, and the Imperial Army's military operations in China were friendly, how could it be possible to massacre civilians! The content of this book is completely deliberate to spread rumors and slander against Japan! Matsuoka said categorically.

"Ambassador Matsuoka, why do you think that this book is a deliberate slander against your country?" Another reporter asked.

Matsuoka Yoyo opened his mouth and said: "As we all know, at present, Japan and China are at war, and Chen Qiang, as a Chinese, will inevitably try his best to smear Japan, so he uses this shameful means to slander the imperial army!" ”

"Ambassador Matsuoka, if the contents of this are all fabricated, then the massacres mentioned in the book do not exist? Is this just a public opinion offensive launched by the Chinese? The reporter asked again.

"Of course, there is no massacre, the Chinese deliberately made up a lie to fool you! As far as I know, Nanjing is now peaceful, if you don't believe it, you can go to Nanjing to have a look, and you will know that what I said is true, and there is no massacre at all. ”

Matsuoka Yoyo paused, and then said: "On the contrary, that Chen Qiang published this book to slander our Japanese Imperial Army, but he couldn't produce any evidence at all, he would only fabricate some stories. So here I also appeal to the American people not to be deceived by that Chinese! All he said was a lie! ”

……

At the end of the press conference, Yoyo Matsuoka finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Another Japanese ambassador to China, Yusuke Tsurumi, quietly walked over and asked in a low voice, "Ambassador Matsuoka, you directly denied the authenticity of this book, is this really useful?" You should know that what is recorded in this book is true, and at the beginning of this year, I read the newspapers sent from China, and our soldiers actually started a killing contest in Nanjing! They are really slaughtering civilians! ”

"The Imperial Army is just some Chinese ** people who resist." Matsuoka Yoyo said without pain or itching.

"Resisting? The woman with long hair in the photo will be the middle **? Yusuke Tsurumi spoke.

"Ambassador Tsurumi, don't care about this, the Americans don't know the truth, and they shouldn't know the truth either." Matsuoka replied.

Matsuoka Yoyo said, and looked at Yusuke Tsurumi with some contempt, and said in his heart that this literati has a lot of things.

Yusuke Tsurumi is one of the three Japanese ambassadors to the United States, he is that literary scholar, and he is considered a moderate in the Japanese government, his political views are originally at odds with the Japanese right-wing, so Matsuoka Yoyo has always felt that he and Yusuke Tsurumi are not all the way.

I only heard Yusuke Tsurumi ask eagerly, "Ambassador Matsuoka, you must know that the lie will be exposed sooner or later!" ”

"No, I've already said it, Americans don't know the truth! That's why I'm holding this press conference to induce Americans to change their perceptions. As long as we are sure that the content on this book is fabricated by the Chinese, it is enough, anyway, there is no evidence of massacre by the Chinese. Matsuoka Yoyo said quite relaxedly.

"This book is a diary written by a German, if the Chinese find the German who wrote the diary, how should we deal with it?" Yusuke Tsurumi asked again.

"The Germans are our allies, so it is impossible for them to stand up and accuse us. Even if that Rabe really stood up, we can say that he and Chen Qiang are in a gang, and the two of them conspired to fabricate such a book to deceive the world and steal their reputation! Matsuoka replied, but his tone was already a little impatient.

Yusuke Tsurumi asked, "But if American journalists really go to China, they will find out the truth." ”

"Nanjing is now under the control of the Empire, what if an American journalist goes? Their every move will be under the watchful eye of the Imperial intelligence services, so nothing will be gained. What's more, I bet that these journalists would not dare to go to China, which is now a war zone, and these cowardly Americans will not dare to send them to death! ”

Matsuoka Yoshi's voice paused, and then said: "Ambassador Tsurumi, you should know that the history books are written by the victors, and the imperial army is about to occupy the whole of China, and at that time, what happened in Nanjing will also be buried in the long river of history, and will never be mentioned by people, and will never be known by the world!" ”

……

The next day, the Japanese ambassador to the United States, Yoyo Matsuoka, appeared in the newspapers, denying the massacre and accusing the "Rabe Diary" of being a lie. Chen Qiang also saw related reports.

Chen Qiang is not surprised by Matsuoka's performance, since the end of World War II, Japan has never admitted to the massacre, even if the ironclad facts are in front of them, they are selectively pretending not to see.

And this group of invaders packaged themselves as victims of the Second World War, as if the whole world owed them. The point is that in the end, even the Japanese themselves believe that they are the victims and not the aggressors!

Chen Qiang originally thought that after "Rabe's Diary" became popular in the United States, the Japanese would at most remain silent, like an ostrich burying their heads in the soil, and doing a triple attack of "inaudible, invisible, and unintelligible". But Chen Qiang didn't expect Matsuoka Yoyo's reaction to be so fierce, and directly held a press conference, instead accusing Chen Qiang of spreading rumors and slander.

"It's really the wicked who sue first!" Chen Qiang pursed his lips disdainfully.

At this moment, the phone in Chen Qiang's room rang, Chen Qiang picked up the phone, and the voice of the hotel lobby manager came from the receiver.

"Mr. Chen, another reporter said that he wanted to interview you, but I still replied to him as before?" The lobby manager asked.

"Of course, I still have a cold, I'm on bed rest, and I won't see anyone for the time being in order to avoid the spread of the disease." After Chen Qiang finished speaking, he put down the phone.

Since the Japanese ambassador to China, Yoyo Matsuoka, reversed black and white and came to a wicked person to sue first, several reporters have wanted to interview Chen Qiang, and they want to hear how Chen Qiang responded to Yoyo Matsuoka.

Chen Qiang, on the other hand, adopted a strategy of avoiding and declaring to the public that he had a cold and needed to recuperate.

The reason why Chen Qiang did this was not because he couldn't refute Matsuoka, but because he was waiting for the fermentation of public opinion.

Matsuoka held a press conference, not only denying the atrocities of the Japanese army, but also accusing Chen Qiang of fraud, which will inevitably attract media attention at this time. Not to mention anything else, the fact that the content of a best-selling book is fake is enough to make the media create a lot of topics.

And the author of the book is still Chen Qiang, and now Chen Qiang still has the heat of the US Open championship, coupled with the aura of the world's No. 1 athlete, this kind of celebrity scandal will cause more attention and more heated discussions.

So Chen Qiang simply chose to lie dormant, he didn't immediately refute Matsuoka Yoyou, at this time the attention of public opinion was not enough, even if he refuted Matsuoka Yoyou, the strength of the slap in the face was not enough.

The effect that Chen Qiang wants is the sensational slap in the face, which is the result of directly defeating Matsuoka Yangyou and never turning over again.

And things are as Chen Qiang expected, the more he pretends to be sick and the media can't get the truth, the more they will hype up this matter, and even many media believe that the reason why Chen Qiang didn't respond was because what Matsuoka Yoyo said was true, the content of the "Rabe Diary" was really fictional, and there was no massacre, Chen Qiang deliberately avoided the media interview because of his weak heart.

As for the Japanese Embassy, Matsuoka Yoyo was not idle, he found the media and began to whitewash Japan, and at the same time hyped up that "Rabe's Diary" was made up by Chen Qiang.

Matsuoka came to the United States with his uncle when he was young, he grew up in the United States, and he was a Japanese "intellectual", and he had some connections in the United States, so he was sent to the United States as an ambassador. At this time, Matsuoka Yangyou was using the contacts he had accumulated to launch a public opinion offensive against Chen Qiang.

In the face of surging public opinion, while Chen Qiang pretended to be sick, he was secretly planning a counterattack.

……

Even in the 21st century, Americans believe in the propaganda of public opinion, for example, if public opinion says that a certain country is an evil country, then Americans believe that this country is really an evil country; When public opinion says that a certain country has weapons of mass destruction, Americans really believe that that country has weapons of mass destruction; Public opinion says that a certain country steals intellectual property, then in the eyes of Americans, everything in this country is stolen from the United States.

In this respect, Americans are really stupid, at least not as awesome as in the movie, so that other countries can "steal" American technology so easily, and once they "steal" it is decades, they have no way to stop it; And the rest of the world is even more stupid, watching other countries "steal" technology from the United States, and these countries have not even learned how to "steal" for decades. Anyway, you're stupid like this, how can you research new technology?

Now public opinion is building momentum, saying that Chen Qiang's "Rabe's Diary" is completely fake, and many Americans really believe this, they think that Chen Qiang either follows this "Rabe's Diary" to become famous, or wants to achieve political goals.

However, it is precisely because of the hype of public opinion that the sales of "Rabe's Diary" have increased significantly. Many people don't plan to read this book, but when they hear that the content in it is "fictional", they will wonder what things this book "fictionalizes".

……

Inside the bookstore, Williams came to buy the book again, and to his surprise, "Rabe's Diary" was still in the most prominent position, and there were customers standing nearby, apparently intending to buy the book.

"How come this book is still here! Didn't you read the newspaper, it's all fiction, it's all fake! Williams began.

The clerk walked over and said with a smile, "Mr. Williams, although the newspaper says that this book is completely made up, the book is selling very well. That's why we put it in the most prominent position. ”

"It's really strange, knowing that the content in it is all made up, why would everyone still buy this book!" Williams asked, puzzled.

At this time, the customer who was going to buy the book said: "Actually, I came to buy the book after reading the newspaper, I want to know what is written in it, and so many people can be fooled!" ”

"Oh, there's a lot of it that makes you feel uncomfortable, and if you buy this book, don't read it while you're eating." Williams spoke.

The customer was slightly stunned, and then said, "Originally, I was still hesitant to buy this book, but now that I hear you say this, I am even more curious." I decided to buy this one! ”

People are curious, and there are many people who consume to satisfy their curiosity. For example, many early Trojan virus programs were spread through people's curiosity. A very attractive ad popped up, and netizens were curious to click on it, and then the computer was infected with a virus.

And people always have a curiosity mentality. For example, a certain super bad movie in Wei, the film review website gave a super low score, and countless film critics also said that this is an unprecedented super bad movie, but the box office of this bad movie exploded, not because the audience is stupid and can't spend it, but because many viewers want to see how bad this bad movie is.

……

Matsuoka Yoyo asked the media to whitewash Japan's atrocities, but it was the more hyped "Rabe's Diary", which made the sales of "Rabe's Diary" soar, and many people who didn't plan to read the book would also buy a copy and go back to see it, and then treat the contents of the book as an after-dinner conversation.

In one of the restaurants, one of the diners was discussing Rabe's Diary.

"In that book, it actually said that there were thousands of corpses of refugees on the dock, which sounded fake, more than a thousand people, how could so many people be killed at the same time, even with machine guns, it would take half a day!"

"There's another passage in the book that is even more exaggerated, saying that there were more than 3,000 corpses in a canal, and when I saw this passage at the time, I knew it was a fabrication. The massacre of more than 3,000 unarmed civilians, such an anti-human thing, no one can do it! ”

"It also says that a baby was stabbed to death with a bayonet, I absolutely don't believe that such a thing will happen, and the baby has no ability to resist, I don't think anyone can do anything to kill a baby, even if it is a perverted murderer, it will not lose its conscience to such an extent."

The diners discussed, and in the corner, Yoyo Matsuoka, Japan's ambassador to the United States, had a treacherous smile on his face.

"I said a long time ago, as long as we insist that the content of that book is all made up, and it is completely published by Chen Qiang in order to slander the imperial army, then all problems will be solved! Chen Qiang has no evidence to refute us at all. Matsuoka said triumphantly to his companion.

The companion immediately praised: "Ambassador Matsuoka is really far-sighted, a crisis was resolved by you like this, and by the way, it also gave the Chinese a great embarrassment!" I don't think he will dare to trouble us anymore. ”

Matsuoka Yoyo was enjoying the compliment of his companion, and at this moment, someone approached the restaurant, and Matsuoka Yoyo looked up and saw that it was a staff member of the Japanese Embassy in the United States, and this person came directly to Matsuoka's table.

"What's the matter?" Matsuoka asked.

"Ambassador Matsuoka, we just got the news that Chen Qiang is going to hold a press conference!" The man spoke.

"Oh, it seems that Chen Qiang can't help it, and he is finally going to fight back? Keep an eye on him and see what he's doing! Matsuoka Yoyo smiled slightly, and then subconsciously asked, "By the way, when is this press conference held?" Where is it? ”

"At two o'clock in the afternoon, the venue is the New York Art Center." The visitor replied.

"The New York Arts Center? How did you choose this kind of place? Is it because the location is easier to find? Matsuoka muttered to himself, but he didn't take it to heart.

Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.
