"we want to win"

Or, alternatively

"Some fat personal bribes please"

That's probably the exact reason, they didn't SAY they wanted bribes on the record, but made a gesture of rubbing their fingers and thumb together and the Japanese delegation ignored or misinterpreted it

They would like Japan to send them one large box of owning the libs. It's all they ever want.
