A Spirit of the Sun Volume 4 : The Unyielding Chapter 27 The Unyielding - Page 119 - TV: The responsibility for allowing 80,000 Japanese to run wild in our city... Lies with President Cai! They have harmed Taiwanese citizens! Chase the Japanese out! Hold the president responsible for the armed takeover of TCB! We demand President Cai's immediate resignation! - Pages 120 & 121 - Chapter 27 = The Unyielding - Page 122 - Minister: That's practically a national holiday crowd out there. But their faces are etched with anger, not celebration. And the anger is entirely directed at you, President Cai, for allowing that march. How you expect to settle this situation? - Page 123 - Ministers: But if we had stopped the march, it is absolutely true that blood would have been shed at Shilin Market and the monorail station. No, instead we had enough casualties at the TCB building as it was! If we had stopped the march, questioned those in charge, then placed a quick order to our SWAT troops, there would BE no deaths!! And there is also the rumor... That the president knew this march was designed to protect the terrorists. ...In which case, we have a serious problem on our hands! - Page 124 - Minister: If it's a question of responsibility, we ought to look at why the president's orders were twisted by the military! What is the meaning of THAT, General Liu?! You opened fire on the terrorists, against express orders, AND killed hostages! Who ordered you to murder everyone?! Liu: That matter is under investigation... The military orders pass from president to chief of staff to the military branches... You'd have to ask the chief for the truth of this... However! - Page 125 - Liu: The chief is currently in poor health, and is not available to question now... Minister: What?! Ye: We can trace this uprising's origins to 15 years ago... It was a weak political decision by your father, President Cai, to take in those 100,000 Japanese refugees... Do you not think it appropriate for you to pay for your father's mistake...? Cai: ...You want me to kick the Japanese out? - Page 126 - Cai: That is not my decision, nor is it yours, Mr. Ye... It is the people's. Ye: Don't you hear the people screaming their answer? If you don't do this... The People's Freedom Party will have to withdraw from the government. Luckily for you, there is no political rush... You have a recess this weekend. I want you to speed up your schedule... And enter your break tomorrow! Cai: You have no right to dictate my schedule! - Page 127 - Cai: Besides, I cannot take a break with this problem on my hands! Ye: As I'm sure you don't need to be reminded... General Liu holds the right to command the military as he sees fit. - Page 128 - - Page 129 - Chen Chun: Liu Hai Bang punks all over the streets, man. Hey, Zhang! They got a lotta money on your head! Zhang: You find out what happened to Xian?! Chen Chun: The Japanese were all taken back to Tansui Camp, where they're under lockdown... The leftover terrorists are still under questioning from the Taipei police. - Page 130 - Zhang: I asked what happened to Xian. Did you go check with his mom? Chen Chun: Apparently he was in the hospital last night, But then he vanished... Zhang: Vanished?! Ack! Chen Chun: What are you doin', man? You know you can't walk around hurt like that! Zhang: Move, Chen Chun. It ain't just Liu Hai Bang behind this one! There are monsters trying to take this country over for themselves! And I gotta keep Xian safe from them! - Page 131 - Zhang: Were you followed? Chen Chun: I ain't that stupid. Who's there?! Voice: I heard that Zhang treats his guests with respect. - Page 132 - Chen Chun: Aah... yeow!! Y-YOU! - Page 133 - Man: Got it... Let me know if anything changes... She's gone... The president announced she was bumping up her vacation this morning... But she isn't at her usual place in Yang Ming Shan. Li-jun: Not there...? What does that mean? - Page 134 - Man: According to our government sources, party officer Ye Guo-feng is behind this. Li-jun: Ye Guo-feng...! One of the anti-Japanese leaders! Man: The chief of staff of the defense ministry is missing, too... This is a coup d'etat, Chen! Li-jun: Coup d'etat?! Man: They've holed the president up somewhere, to make her commit suicide! Li-jun: They're using the anti-Japanese protests to seize power?! - Page 135 - Man: We're gonna be busy! You should keep an eye on the government office! Li-jun: Yes sir! <
