Option 2

Petr loves the idea! This will give him ample opportunity to spy and sabotage the Japanese competition. State Security will be jumping for joy at the possibilities. The SHL head office has provided Petr with the perfect cover, as it is entirely genuine! Not only can Petr secure strategic objective while there aimed at crippling the Japanese hockey machine and its development, Petr can also focus on spreading propaganda. "Oh, hockey's too expensive", "Why would you want to play such a violent sport?", "Japan will never be successful, especially in comparison to the Czechs", "The Czechs produce the greatest players in the world". Forget show match, this game is an opportunity to put Czechia where it belongs: on top! All will bow to the rightful eventual world champions, the Czech Republic. All those who have not yet, are simply delaying the inevitable and stalling for time. (Just as I am trying to bump my word count up, ironically, but righting these propaganda manifestos each time is an art.)
