China responds to threat ...

This conversation was translated from Chinese to English by Wo JO Chan.

"Good morning Honorable Secretary of Defense, we are honored to have you at the Ministers Meeting this morning. We want to report to you that the United States is sending a, what they call a, strike group ... please no laughing, they are retaliating for the pilot who played with their spy plane the other day. Actually, Squadron Commander Aki Manamoto was returning from a meeting in Yokohama, apparently had one or so, well, too much Saki, and did a few loops around the plane .... please no laughing. Their obamason, put in a call from his golf cart to their pentagon and made that decision. Originally they were sending four strike groups, but obamason corrected the error, as he had an errant drive on 14, and yelled four while giving the order. Our President Xi Jinping issued an order this morning that once the strike group arrives we will extend no credit to them to purchase fuel for their return trip. He also indicated that if they are unable to return to their home base that we would make them a fair offer on the ships in their "Strike Group."
