After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

"So what exactly are we going to do now?"

Koichi Sakamoto felt a headache when he looked at the submitted report.

However, Kiyotaka Taguchi, the director of the Japan Chess Association who was in charge of this competition, felt like his brain was about to explode.

Before, you guys swore to me that the game would end with Kenichi Mitsuba and the possibility of failure was very small.

But the result now is failure.

Just in case, there is still a one in ten thousand chance of it happening!

The closing ceremony of the China-Japan competition, which was originally scheduled to be held directly at the CEN Hall in Tokyo, has now also encountered some changes.

I told you to be prepared for both scenarios, and now everything has gone haywire.

The staff looked at Sakamoto who was in a headache but still said helplessly: "CEN Hall called to ask whether the banner was for the "closing ceremony" or the "conference", we still have to give them a reply quickly."

After all, they are the sponsors. You informed them to do this before, and now this kind of thing has happened. You have to give them an answer no matter what.

When Kiyotaka Taguchi heard the staff's urging, he became even more annoyed.

I was worried before because I was too dependent on Mitsuba Kenichi's victory, so I made almost no preparation for Mitsuba Kenichi's defeat.

After yesterday's failure, the entire Japanese Go community is in chaos.

For example, the 9th dan player Masao Toya, who is about to play, was still participating in the Honinbo round-robin competition until yesterday.

In Japan, where chess players only play one game a week, if Toya is mentally prepared for the next game, it would be impossible to arrange for him to play another game before the game.

Taguchi Kiyotaka could not help but start complaining to Sakamoto Koichi who was sitting next to him: "It's all your fault. You insisted on saying that the possibility was small. There was no need to worry about such a possibility. As a result, now we are not prepared for anything.

We couldn’t even find a hotel for the Chinese side. If the news gets out, we’ll lose face. And now we don’t know whether the closing ceremony should be held or not.”

Kiyotaka Taguchi is the person in charge of this competition. If something big goes wrong, he will be the first to take the blame.

Losing face is a small matter, but bowing is a big matter!
"Two directors, the CEN Club is calling again. Do you want to pick up the phone?"

"catch."

Kiyotaka Taguchi nodded when he heard this, then picked up the phone on his desk.

In fact, it is still the same old question as before, what should we do with the banquet after the game tomorrow.

After all, no matter what the rules are, the organizer has to prepare in advance. If you don't make a plan, the organizer will not be able to prepare.

Taguchi Kiyotaka seemed hesitant because of Mitsuba Kenichi's defeat, but Sakamoto Koichi grabbed the microphone and said, "Let's just follow the plan for the closing ceremony. If there are any changes, we can just change the word 'closing ceremony' to 'conference meeting'."

"You are too extreme, aren't you? This will leave us with no way out."

Kiyotaka Taguchi looked at Sakamoto who hung up the phone and said something speechlessly.

Can the words on this kind of banner be changed casually? Is it just a matter of putting it up and taking it down?
Especially since there might be Chinese officials present, the word could have been changed in front of them.

This is not just a change of words, this is a slap in the face of the entire Japanese Go community! "There is an old Chinese saying! It's called "Put yourself in a desperate situation and then you can survive!"

Sakamoto pinched the armrest of the sofa and said fiercely: "Under the current situation, our Go community in Japan has no way out!

We must not only cut off our own retreat, but also cut off Toya Masao's retreat, because only in desperate situations can people burst out with amazing fighting power!
As long as Toya Masao can defeat the Chinese player tomorrow, everything will be perfect!"

"if……"

The two words that Kiyotaka Taguchi just said made him swallow back what he wanted to say. He couldn't help but complain in his heart that it would have been better if the Chinese chess players had just lost yesterday's game.

I don’t have so many troubles now!
Chinese people are really good at causing trouble for others!
Red bean paste is disgusting!
"Hurry up and arrange all the work. There can be no more omissions in tomorrow's game! I'll go inform Toya Masao."

"it is good."

On the other hand, at the Chinese Embassy in Japan, Zhan Lang had already fallen asleep in the room.

At this time, Hao Qiang also received a call from China: "Okay, okay, I get it, but Zhan Lang has fallen asleep."

"Don't wake him up, let him have a good rest! Please convey my congratulations to him. I hope he can continue to work hard and achieve better results tomorrow."

Hearing this, Hao Qiang nodded continuously and only put down the phone after the other party hung up.

"A bunch of congratulatory messages."

At this time, Ye Qing also brought a pile of papers from the side, all of which were congratulatory messages sent from home.

First is the All-China Youth Federation, followed by the Deputy Director of the State Sports Commission and the Chinese Go Association, and there are a host of other departments, large and small.

"Normal. The whole country is paying attention to this competition."

Hao Qiang didn't take the congratulatory message in Ye Qing's hand seriously. After all, the call from that person just now was the most important.

Ye Qing looked at the hung up phone and asked curiously, "Who called just now and asked me to get out?"

"The one who drew the circle to the south."

After hearing this, Ye Qing decisively didn't ask anything. No matter how important the content of this conversation was, he would rather not know about it.

Hao Qiang couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "I really don't know what the scenery will be like if Zhan Lang wins tomorrow?"

"What if the final battle between the main generals is won?"

Hearing this, Hao Qiang didn't say anything. He only thought of four words.

national hero.

The premise is that Zhan Lang can continue to create miracles.

Is it really possible?
