Chapter 3729: Danger Sign
Editor: Henyee Translations
In front of Ye Jian, the taciturn Li Jinnian would speak a lot. Moreover, he was emotional tonight and couldn’t help but speak a little more.
“It’s the last day of the compet.i.tion tomorrow. To wash away the humiliation tonight, j.a.pan will definitely do their best tomorrow. Be prepared, and don’t give them a chance to make a comeback.”
The relations.h.i.+p between the two countries had always been delicate. It couldn’t be said to be good or bad. However, the relations.h.i.+p between the students of the two countries was very tense this time. Tomorrow was the last day of the compet.i.tion. The j.a.panese students would definitely have a final match with the Chinese students.
In this match, there might be personal attacks.
“The f.u.k.u.moto family and the Fujino family are famous right-wing families in j.a.pan. They have a lot of hatred for our country. I wasn’t surprised that the two of them broke our flagpole today, but they were very surprised by our att.i.tude. As long as they are aware of our stance, they will understand that even if they make a move, they should be concerned.”
Tomorrow was the directional cross-country match. They had to find the coordinates in the primitive forest within the stipulated time. They also had to carry 27 kilograms of weight. The difficulty and danger of this match were greater.
First of all, entering the primeval forest was a danger in itself.
Then, they each had to carry 27 kilograms. This was a difficult task.
Also, it wasn’t easy to find the coordinates. The coordinates might lead them to the foot of the mountain or to the top of the mountain. It might also lead them to a rock that needed to be climbed. They had to carry 27 kilograms and enter the primeval forest to find the coordinates. Then, they had to return to the finish line and end the seven-day compet.i.tion.
Tomorrow was also the day with the highest points to be given. It was one point for each coordinate. Dozens of coordinates meant dozens of points. Also, if they reached the finish line early, they would get one more point every five minutes. These points added up were quite impressive. Those whose rankings were close to each other might see some big changes.
China was still ranked fourth today. They had 21 points more than fifth place and 12 points less than third place. That meant that China might be able to pull down the top three and surpa.s.s them.
Li Jinnian didn’t make any forced requests, but he would be happy if China could surpa.s.s them.
Ye Jian was still very confident about tomorrow’s match. She mainly wanted to guard against the two right-wing students from j.a.pan.
The cousins didn’t chat for long. After about ten minutes, they returned to their tents. Zhang Minghong and the rest were chatting happily with the foreign soldiers from several countries. The topic they were talking about was related to the compet.i.tion and their countries’ culture.
The foreign soldiers didn’t know much about China. Some of them even thought that the Chinese didn’t have access to electricity. Only the largest cities had access to electricity. In short, in their eyes, China was as poor as they could be. They thought that China was so poor that the Chinese students found it unbelievable.
No food, no clothes, no electricity… The Chinese students didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when they heard this.
“Every country has a gap between the rich and the poor. It’s the same for our country. In some extremely remote mountain villages, they do have certain problems, but it’s not like what you said. Although our country has indeed been very backward for a long time, our country and our people have been working hard to improve…”
Zhang Minghong smiled as he spoke. His speech displayed the confidence of a Chinese soldier. His English was quite good. He could even quote scriptures. He could say a very ordinary thing vividly. Even Ye Jian couldn’t help but clap when she heard him.
This was an opportunity to let the students from other countries understand China. Every Chinese student would talk about how good their hometown was. When the compet.i.tion ended, the foreign soldiers present were all satisfied and said that they would visit China after they retired.
Like the Chinese soldiers, they were not allowed to go overseas for personal reasons during their military service.
