Chapter 1824: Chapter 862 To Prevent Others from Suspecting
Yan Fei’s eating and drinking activities during the New Year actually ca to a halt during the last two days before the holiday.
Then he remotely controlled Anderson, closely monitoring those in Arica who had so influence but nearly beca unfriendly under the lobbying of the Japanese.
He thought he could relax for two days, but with the return of his parents, things got tough for him—his mother’s overwhelming work enthusiasm and super responsible work attitude almost drove Yan Fei to breakdown.
In the past, no matter if it was a holiday, as long as they were together, she would always say, “You can earn money anyti, but don’t tire yourself out. Especially you, Xiao Fei, you’re still young, there’s plenty of ti ahead! There’s no need to be so hard on yourself, take care of your health. Spend more ti with Xiao Xing when you have the chance, take her out for fun…”
But look at her now, she’s beco a workaholic!
But this has its upside, at least it gave him a justified excuse to ‘escape for so peace and quiet.’ He didn’t need to explain anything, just looking at Teacher Qi and his father’s sympathetic gazes, they understood.
Even though it’s the New Year, they surely understand him going out for a day or half a day.
…
“Aricans, get out! Aricans, get out!” Saburo Obano waved the flag plastered with a cross, shouting loudly at the front of the crowd.
Most of the protesters around him were like him, waving small flags. So with prepared signs held up boards filled with various slogans, and others without anything just raised their fists. With each shout, everyone put in their full force, the united roar echoing throughout the entire city.
The Arican military stationed in Japan often acted with impunity, even in cities without stationed troops, they were deeply detested.
A few days ago, so Arican soldiers committed a rather disgraceful act. Late at night, after eating and drinking their fill, a few soldiers carried bottles of alcohol back to the base, singing along the way. When they passed by a household, the people inside expressed their protest.
Then the soldiers, displeased, took advantage of their drunkenness to break into the household and make a commotion. They only left when they heard the horn from the Civil Defense Squad’s car, and before leaving, they set the place on fire.
Thankfully, the Civil Defense Squad arrived just in ti to rescue the people inside, otherwise, it would have been unknown how many lives the fire would have claid.
This was not the end of it, the soldiers in this unit were all newcors—the original ones went to develop the Savage World for survival on deserted islands. The few fortunate ones who survived were still undergoing labor reformation, atoning for the nurous cris they committed in Japan.
These newcors arrived with so compensation from Japan to Arica—those dispatched to the Savage World departed from Japan, so the Aricans thought they should extort so money from Japan.
Of course, the news and so-called etings or talks would never phrase it this way. Nonetheless, Arica ca up with thousands of excuses, eventually making Japan pay quite a bit.
The compensation brought even worse ones than before—at least the previous group had exhausted their repertoire of bad deeds, with no novelty in repeating them. The newcors, however, hadn’t done anything yet, and were eager to try everything, causing more incidents than the previous group did.
Until this arson case occurred again, igniting the Japanese once more, leading to this massive protest—the reason there’s a “again” is simply because such protests have already happened countless tis.
By now, Saburo Obano was getting tired. He had joined the protest early, starting first thing in the morning and now, half a day later, he was feeling cold and hungry, barely holding on. But thinking of the people behind him, he felt he could still persevere.
However, he didn’t let the followers down, and they didn’t disappoint him either. Hearing his hoarse voice unable to chant slogans, a young person quickly stepped forward to replace him.
“Thirsty? Have so water!” Soone nearby handed over water quickly.
Saburo Obano’s throat was parched. Without looking at who handed him the water, he grabbed it and guzzled it down.
After finishing the whole bottle, he stuffed the empty bottle back into the bag he carried with him. He gave an apologetic smile to the young person who handed him the water earlier. In the midst of the protest, Saburo Obano didn’t say much more, instead, he continued waving his flag and began chanting again. The young person returned an encouraging smile and started shouting along with him.
The team kept moving forward, and at one point, Saburo Obano suddenly heard soone behind him yelling, “Aricans, get out, Arican products, get out…”
Saburo Obano was startled, this didn’t seem part of the plan!
They were out to oppose the military presence, how could soone suddenly cause a disturbance. He was still wondering when he heard that voice start to bring others around it into the chant as well.
“Aricans, get out, Arican products, get out…”
Like wild grass in a winter field catching a spark, the slightly altered slogan began to spread among the protest crowd. Many who had been marching all day were feeling numb, but noticing the change in the chant, they suddenly regained their energy!
