Chapter 597

Now, the fate of the entire Sakura Island is held in the palm of the Dragon Nation.

Any demand the other side makes can, to some extent, be called a notification.

The Meiji Heavenly King is not a fool; he can figure many things out for himself.

Interests and national destiny.

If Sakura Island is going to be gone, what the hell is the use of these things?

The Meiji Heavenly King took a look at the Shogun in front of him, was silent for a long time, and then continued.

"General, I am a bit tired; if there is nothing else, please return..."

Having said that, the Meiji Heavenly King waved his hand, signaling the Shogun and others to withdraw.

Such tragic news, he needed to digest it alone...

But the Shogun remained standing on the spot, with no intention of leaving, his eyes full of struggle.

"What is it? Is there anything else?"

The Meiji Heavenly King's puzzled voice came.

The Shogun's face turned awkward, and for a moment he couldn't bring himself to say it.

After a long while, he said stammeringly: "He... Heavenly King, the Dragon Nation side also requires... requires you to personally submit the surrender document to the Dragon Nation in a public setting, and, represent Sakura to sign it..."

The next second.

The Meiji Heavenly King froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

"What!"

"This is simply outrageous!!"

"Dragon Nation! What exactly do they take our Sakura for!"

"What exactly do they take me for?"

With a 'bang', the Meiji Heavenly King punched the low table in front of him hard, and the table immediately let out a painful groan!

Shame!

A great humiliation!

For the Meiji Heavenly King, surrendering in person and signing the surrender document was even more painful than killing him!

You know, even a hundred years ago, when the Sakura Nation surrendered to the victorious nations in World War II, it was only the Foreign Minister who submitted the surrender document and signed it!

The Heavenly King at that time didn't even show his face!

And now?

The Dragon Nation actually requires the Heavenly King to personally submit the surrender document and represent Sakura to sign it!

And the object of the surrender is still the arch-enemy, the Dragon Nation!

The degree of this humiliation is many times higher than that of World War II!

It's almost on par with the 'sheep-leading ceremony' of the Hui and Qin emperors!

The Meiji Heavenly King understood that if he signed that surrender document.

From then on, Sakura would never be able to hold its head up in front of the Dragon Nation!

The entire backbone and spirit of Sakura would be broken!

Looking at the Shogun and the ministers in front of him, who were lowering their heads and acting timid.

The Meiji Heavenly King was burning with anger.

Pointing at their noses, he sternly said: "Why aren't you speaking?"

"Could it be? You all feel the same way?"

Hearing this, the Shogun and the others buried their heads even lower.

But silence, sometimes, is also a stance.

"Baka! Idiots!"

"You bunch of idiots!"

"You, and I, are all sinners of Sakura, and will all be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, to be mocked by future generations of Sakura people!"

The Meiji Heavenly King pounded the low table until it rang.

After a long while, the Shogun's voice finally came slowly: "Heavenly King, please take care of your health; in everything, I hope you will prioritize the big picture..."

Prioritize the big picture?

These words, between the lines, were revealing one meaning.

It was just that the Shogun couldn't say it clearly.

Before this happened.

Who could have imagined it?

The Shogun of Sakura would actually lead the ministers to force the Meiji Heavenly King, just to make the Heavenly King surrender to the Dragon Nation...

It seemed that he also felt the scene in front of him was extremely absurd and ridiculous.

The Meiji Heavenly King sneered twice, then sat back on the chair dejectedly.

His whole person seemed to have been drained of his spirit in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, he seemed to have aged ten years.

Like a walking corpse.

After a long while, the Meiji Heavenly King's aged voice finally continued: "Negotiate with the Dragon Nation..."

"Two days later, I will attend the surrender ceremony..."

"..."

That night.

On the Dragon Nation's aircraft carrier.

The Grand General, Elder Sun, Chen Guoan, and Lu Debiao, who had received the news, had gone crazy!

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! My God! Sakura has actually surrendered!! And they accepted all our demands!!"

"I really can't believe it! In my lifetime, I've actually been able to see this scene..."

"The Sakura Heavenly King personally submitting the surrender document and signing it! This, damn it, must be the first time in Sakura's history! It's just too damn inspiring!"

"Hahahaha!! They even returned the Ryukyu Islands; this has solved a major problem for our Dragon Nation!"

"We must have a drink tonight! Where is Song Qi! All of this today is entirely the credit of this kid!!"

The group of commanders, no matter how dignified they were on ordinary days, all had red eyes at this moment.

This moment, they hadn't even dared to think about it on ordinary days.

Even if they dreamed about it, they would feel it was absurd and ridiculous upon waking up.

However, all of this had actually and truly been realized before their eyes...

And, this earth-shattering military merit had been almost single-handedly accomplished by a young man in his early twenties whose main profession was a researcher!

During this time, the Dragon Nation's navy hadn't even provided the slightest help!

What is called an unparalleled merit?

This damn thing is called an unparalleled merit!

The group of commanders surrounded the bruised and swollen Song Qi in the middle, so excited they were incoherent.

"Little Song! I knew you could do it, but I didn't know you were this capable!"

"This military merit is even more awesome than the legendary feats of old!"

"Little Song! You are simply the lucky star of our Dragon Nation's navy!!"

"..."

Looking at the excited commanders in front of him, Song Qi waved his hand very calmly and patted his chest.

"Hey!"

"This is just the beginning!"

"It's just Sakura surrendering! In a few years, we'll go directly to the Free Nation's White Palace for tea!"

"Hehehe..."

"Look at how capable you are, kid!"

The Grand General glanced at Song Qi with annoyance and slapped Song Qi on the head directly.

At this moment, his eyes were full of doting love.

"If that day really comes, my life will have been worth it!"

"Hahahahaha..."
