Chapter 67 Invitation from Prime Minister Murayama

January 26, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.

Liu Dongshan stood in front of the window with a gloomy face, looking at the bright sunshine outside the window. Winter in Beijing is cold, dry, and windy. There are not many windless and sunny days like today. But even like this

Even the good weather could not dispel the gloom in Liu Dongshan's heart.

It has been the fourth day since the Great Kobe Earthquake in Japan. The number of people killed in the earthquake has exceeded 5,000, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese have been injured. Preliminary estimates of direct economic losses have reached tens of billions of dollars.

, shocked the world.

Of course Liu Dongshan is not worried about the heavy casualties of the Japanese. Let alone the Japanese, it is the Chinese. So what can he do? As long as it is not his relatives and friends, Liu Dongshan doesn't care who dies and who lives.

No one can survive this world without it!

Of course what bothered him was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office meeting that ended before it even started on the evening of January 23. Before that office meeting, he had already expressed his attitude and was ruthlessly treated by Chai Yan.

Liu Dongshan was not afraid of Chai Yan, but the development of things later was too dramatic. Japan actually had an earthquake! It was a devastating earthquake with a magnitude of 7.9. The original Tangshan earthquake was only 7.8

Level!

As soon as the earthquake broke out, all the problems were solved naturally, and the Japanese didn't raise any objections. They were as honest as a grandson these days, but Liu Dongshan's face was completely lost! He didn't know how to work.

How did the dispute at the meeting spread out? Now many people in the ministry know that Liu Dongshan insists on asking Fang Mingyuan to apologize and compensate the Japanese for hundreds of millions of dollars in property! Although everyone who sees him will

He was polite and even called Director Liu flatteringly, but Liu Dongshan felt that the glances from behind him were all filled with a bit of contempt.

"Bang Bang!" There were two rhythmic knocks on the office door.

"Come in!" Liu Dongshan shouted angrily. Who is so short-sighted? Don't you know that he is in a bad mood now?

The person who pushed open the door was none other than Ma Yongfu, the Director of the Information Department who shared his same problem.

"Director Ma, why are you here?" Liu Dongshan said somewhat unexpectedly.

"I can't do it if I don't come. Alas, the Japanese have caused trouble again!" Ma Yongfu said with a wry smile.

"What's wrong? Such a big earthquake didn't make them be honest?" Liu Dongshan said in surprise, "What are they going to do this time?"

"What's the matter? I just came back from the deputy minister and got a message that the Japanese ambassador is here. Didn't he just leave!" Ma Yongfu lowered his voice.

"Suzuki Nosuke? What is he here for?" Liu Dongshan asked strangely. He wants something? Japan is so rich, what kind of disaster relief materials can't be bought? Need a rescue team? The Japanese have not even allowed their allies, the Americans, to enter. How could they?

Looking for Chinese people?

"He came to the minister and handed over an invitation letter from Japanese Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama! At the same time, he asked us to send someone to accompany him." Ma Yongfu sneered, "Guess who the Japanese want to invite to visit Japan now?"

"A letter of invitation from Tomiichi Murayama? Who to invite?" Liu Dongshan felt even more strange. At this time, if Tomiichi Murayama didn't rush to rescue and provide disaster relief in the Kobe disaster area, who would he invite to China? Normally,

Next, if such a big thing happens in the country, diplomatic activities are usually postponed. This person actually did the opposite!

"Fang Mingyuan!" Ma Yongfu uttered three words softly, but Liu Dongshan almost jumped up from the sofa.

"Why?" Liu Dongshan immediately asked. The prime minister of this country would definitely not want to meet Fang Mingyuan on a whim, let alone at this time when Japan is in chaos.

Ma Yongfu said with a bitter face: "It was not the Japanese themselves who caused the earthquake. On the night of the 23rd, on the night of the 24th, a large number of young people formed anti-Japanese demonstrations across Japan, demanding that the government punish those who

Officials who did not do a good job in rescue and disaster relief still blamed Fan Mingyuan, which made the Japanese government worse. Murayama Tomiichi personally issued a TV speech and mobilized the Self-Defense Forces from various places, so that the situation was maintained. The old man must have invited Fan Mingyuan now.

To calm down the situation in the country!"

Liu Dongshan thought about it and understood the mystery. Aren't these Japanese young people clamoring to restore Fang Mingyuan's innocence? Murayama Tomiichi invited Fang Mingyuan to Japan and made a gesture, which I believe can calm many people in the country.

People's grievances stabilized Japan's chaotic situation.

But... Tomiichi Murayama, you have stabilized the domestic situation, but what should we do?

The reason why he and Ma Yongfu launched the attack was Fang Mingyuan's false claims, which aroused strong protests in Japan. Many social groups and celebrities collectively submitted letters of protest, which seriously affected the stable diplomatic relations between China and Japan.

, destroying the friendly relations between China and China. As a result, just a few days later, the invitation letter from the Japanese Prime Minister was personally sent by the Japanese ambassador. Isn’t this a naked slap in the face to him and Ma Yongfu!

But no matter how angry Liu Dongshan is, it will be of no use! Not to mention that he can't make the decision in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, even if he can make the decision, can he still control the Prime Minister of Japan? Besides, it is an invitation letter, not a protest letter.

Can you stop such a good thing that is conducive to the diplomatic relations between China and Japan?

Liu Dongshan blushed, clenched his fists tightly, and his fingernails were bleeding in his palms, but he didn't feel it at all. He could fully imagine that once the news spread, it would cause a stir in the ministry.

What kind of outcome? I'm afraid that not only Chai Yan's cynicism, but also his promotion in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will come to an end for the time being.

Ma Yongfu's situation is not much better than Liu Dongshan's, and because Qiu Mingli, who accompanied Zuo Youzhimen on Ma Yongfu's order last time, will also be implicated! Qiu Mingli is also Ma Yongfu's confidant in the department, and he ended up with such an end.

, Ma Yongfu was unable to protect him, which really chilled the hearts of other people in the department.

"I understand, thank you Aunt Chai!" Fang Mingyuan put down the phone, feeling a little weird in his heart.

With Chai Yan as the "traitor" in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Fang Mingyuan already knew that Japanese Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama had sent him an invitation to visit Japan without waiting for the Japanese ambassador to come in.

Fang Mingyuan knew Murayama Fuji relatively well in his previous life. The reason is actually very simple. After 1949, when Fang Mingyuan became aware of national affairs, among Japan's previous prime ministers, Murayama Fuji was the most friendly to China.

.Although his time in power was not very long, and because of the three-party coalition power, the political situation has always been relatively turbulent, and Japan has not taken any major external measures.

Moreover, Murayama Fuji is one of the few Japanese prime ministers to face up to Japan's history of World War II. He is the second Japanese politician after Prime Minister Hosokawa Morihiro to verbally apologize to the Asian victims of World War II as prime minister. After he succeeded as prime minister,

He once again apologized for Japan’s imperial era of aggression and colonial history, and apologized to the leaders of ASEAN countries during his visit to ASEAN.

When he visited Singapore, he not only publicly stated that "Japan can no longer escape and must face up to its past aggression and colonial rule", but he also laid flowers in front of the Memorial to the Victims of the People in World War II in Singapore, becoming a famous figure after the end of World War II.

The first Japanese Prime Minister to lay flowers here.

Murayama Tomiichi also said this - "He can feel the strong anti-Japanese sentiment lurking in the region, hopes that doing so can maintain the future peace and stability of the region, and realizes the importance of strengthening political, economic and cultural exchanges

sex."

After entering 1995, Tomiichi Murayama even issued a statement at the 50th anniversary commemoration of the end of World War II, stating that Japan must conduct deep self-reflection on the pain it caused to Asian countries during World War II, and,

He expressed his deepest guilt and heartfelt apology for Japan's aggression and colonization of Asian countries before World War II.

And regarding China, Murayama Tomiichi has always adhered to a friendly policy towards China.

In the second half of 1995, when Tomiichi Murayama visited China, he went to the Marco Polo Bridge in person and paid his respects to and visited the Marco Polo Bridge Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall. Later, he delivered the famous Murayama speech, expressing his cherishing and loving peace and facing up to history.

attitude, and put forward suggestions that Japan can join hands with other Asian countries to consolidate this rare peace. The spirit of this speech was recognized by successive Japanese governments and was called the "historic Murayama Speech" by world opinion circles.

.

Later, he solemnly expressed his deep reflection on the huge damage and pain caused to the Chinese people by Japan's war of colonial aggression and expressed his heartfelt apology to the visiting reporter from China's "People's Times". This was after the Second World War.

For the first time, the Japanese Prime Minister explicitly apologized for the Japanese invasion of China.

Moreover, it was precisely because of Tomiichi Murayama's friendly attitude towards China that the Chinese threat theory, which had originally been on the rise in Japan in the mid-1990s, was suppressed by the Japanese government at the time and ensured the continuation of Japan's aid to China.

Therefore, Murayama Tomiichi is still very interested in Fang Mingyuan in his previous life. One is because of his longevity. He was born in 1924 and was still alive when Fang Mingyuan died in his previous life; the other is that Fang Mingyuan sometimes

I wonder if Murayama Tomiichi had not resigned from power for just two years and handed over the post of Prime Minister to Ryutaro Hashimoto, would there have been any new changes in the relationship between China and Japan?

Therefore, the surprised Fang Mingyuan quickly made a decision!

Go! Of course!
