- I thought the second minister would be Asian, but it never occurred to me that he would be Korean! Isn't this strange, senior?
+ I don't think that Japan would want to wait and see, Korea is considered a Japanese colony now. Not like how Iran is for England, but it is in a way. Therefore, I don't think that a Korean should be allowed to have a hand in the country's politics.
- Not only Japan, but also Korea does not sit idly. Do you know what it's like?
He leaned forward a little and continued:
- It's like your mother hates your neighbor and you go to play with their child. Ridiculous!
+ It is not clear what Italy's intention is with this, but whatever it is, I don't think it will end in their favor. As it turns out, Poland is also attacking the Axis. Therefore, it is not unlikely that Italy will be involved in two wars at the same time. One from the Japanese side and one from the Polish side.
- You are right, but Senior, you are a Korean yourself. Have you thought about how you are going to proceed with the matter?
As he took a breath from his pipe and leaned against the back of his chair with a crooked laugh, a woman approached them with a tray of liquor and winked at the European. Meanwhile, the Asian was exploring the cafe. Italian pizzas, naked women, wine. Italian olive oil and the dim lights. And of course, Eurasian politicians.
+ Don't worry, European. Believe me, I'm not going to forget my cravings for kimchi by eating your olive oil.
An Eurasian debate.
-; Florence, Italy, a cafe in the city center, 1923
