1065 Old Friends Gather

Two months have passed in a flash, and the Year of the Dragon has finally come to an end, and the New Year's banquet of the Ryukyu Prime Minister's Mansion on the 28th day of the lunar month has officially begun.

If we can fly into the sky and look down on the main island of Ryukyu, we will find that with the Prime Minister's Mansion as the center, the resources of the entire Ryukyus have been thoroughly mobilized.

In the outermost part of the country, all the warships of the Ryukyus poured out of their nests, patrolling all suspicious ships within a radius of thirty nautical miles around the island, and the port of Naha is under navigation control today, and no ships are allowed to enter or leave, and everything can only be navigated after the banquet.

Throughout the city of Naha, the Marines patrolled and guarded in squads and platoons, and the closer they were to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the stricter the security measures became, and even the local residents had been temporarily evacuated in the area of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Within a three-kilometer radius, in addition to the Marine Corps soldiers' patrols, there are also carefully screened citizen patrols, these so-called red armbands, who are unusually familiar with their own community, and all unusual or unfamiliar faces are subject to their interrogation.

Not to mention that under such strict prevention, some suspicious characters were really arrested, and later after the banquet, the CIA conducted a surprise interrogation, and really dug up a few spy lines and caught a few big fish.

Speaking of the CIA, it is impossible not to mention Wang Huaiyuan, the person in charge, the Wang Bureau has been tired and inactive in the past two months, and when he walked into the door to participate in the banquet, those old friends who came back from the south and north of the world were startled when they saw it.

"What's wrong with your eyes? What a big black circle......"

"Brother Huaiyuan, you, you, you...... Why are you so thin? Be careful that I hold you, why do you walk with a shaky belt?"

Wang Huaiyuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not for you! This banquet brings together eighty percent of the elites under the Prime Minister's curtain...... I won't tell you anything, I have prepared a hundred and one criminals for the banquet to test drugs, and I will also let it go, so retribution will be retribution!"

The old brothers walked over and pestered Wang Huaiyuan to let him sit on the chair at the gate, and everyone walked here, no matter what their status, they gave him a respectful salute.

Looking at the familiar faces, Wang Huaiyuan's eyes moistened, "Spring Thirteen Niang......!

"Qing Sanye, it's been a long time since I've been hunting with you on horseback, and you have to pass on your arrows to ......me if you have time."

"Oh, Fan Ru, Old Man Fan...... You didn't bring so many relatives today, did you? Listen to my advice, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the prime minister will definitely treat you as an elder when you come here, but don't always want to leave the relationship, the prime minister doesn't eat that!"

"Pastor Lewis, you have worked hard all the way, and the church in Beijing City has made you build so beautifully......

"Luo Hao, Wen Xiu...... You two great talents, you have a lot of fun in Jiangnan? The prime minister really loves you two, and I envy you to death for the task of culture and education......

One after another old acquaintances walked past Wang Huaiyuan, bowing and saluting with low seniority, and those with high seniority did not dare to pose in front of this intelligence leader, even Fan Ru honestly surrendered his hand.

It wasn't because Wang Huaiyuan was in control of all the spy organizations under Xiao Letian that he bowed to Wang Huaiyuan and did his best to die, and everyone was convinced.

Indeed, Wang Huaiyuan really has Zhuge Liang's professionalism, loyalty and hard work, Xiao Letian is one of the four heavenly kings, he is the fastest one.

When the captain of the sword drawn, Nohei Tai and Hyotaro walked into the gate, they saw Wang Huaiyuan sitting aside, and hurriedly walked over to first stand up and salute, followed by a ninety-degree bow.

"Mr. Huaiyuan, how did you lose weight like this? I have the best Japanese food master in my house, and I will ask him to come to your door tomorrow to cook and recuperate for you......"

"No, no, I can't digest your sashimi, it's good to drink white porridge......"

Cai Mao, Liang Kun, Mike Carnegie, the head of East Asia of the Carnegie family in the United States, Buck, a British doctor, and Matthew, the secret envoy of the United States...... Old acquaintances all appeared, and everyone reunited to recall the previous battle, sighing one by one.

In the end, even Jonas, the Prussian permanent minister to Beijing and an old friend of Xiao Letian, came, and by the way, brought a handwritten letter of congratulations from the American ambassador Warren.

No one who was present could understand the significance of the 1868 Ryukyu New Year's Banquet, and all the high-ranking officials who could make it to Ryukyu within two months were unable to return, except for those in charge of distant regions such as North America, South America, and Europe.

As Wang Huaiyuan said, if a bomb is dropped in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the entire Xiao Lotian Shogunate will completely fall to the shelf.

Not only Xiao Letian's subordinates, but also many other forces of the audience, nominally Xiao Lotian does not invite friends, but how can there be internal collusion forces not to send observers, even Xiao Lotian can't stop others from giving gifts.

With such a high-scale banquet, there will definitely be important matters to be announced, otherwise Xiao Lotian would not have let so many people put down their tasks and return to the base camp, let alone let the entire Ryukyu state apparatus be shut down for a winter.

According to Xiao Letian's order, the New Year's banquet was in the form of a Western-style buffet for lunch, and the main hall in the Prime Minister's Mansion and the huge square outside were surrounded by long tables covered with white tablecloths.

On the table, there are countless delicacies and wines from the mainland, Japan, the South Seas, Europe, India...... Famous chefs from all over the world have shown their skills to serve the best ingredients at a time.

This is also a culinary competition, and the chef with the best reputation can become the prime minister's queen chef in the future, which is not a simple honor.

The high-ranking officials gathered in twos and threes to talk, drank wine and ate food openly, but at this moment even the most gluttonous drunkards did not dare to let go of the amount, they all wanted to know what would be said at today's banquet.

"Brothers, who has any inside information to reveal? My heart is itching to death......

"Insider, pull it down, now in addition to the Four Heavenly Kings, the secret file team in the CIA can know some clues, Brother Huaiyuan is sitting at the door, you go and ask......"

"I'm not going, you're cheating me again......"

"Don't worry, what are you anxious about today? Drink less wine, the reunion banquet in the evening is the main field, when the big round table is set, we won't get drunk and return if we don't get drunk and eat good food, the brothers really haven't gotten together for several years......"

Just when people were talking, suddenly Wang Huaiyuan stood up at the door, and then the salute officer shouted, "His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Empire has arrived...... His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of the Ryukyus has arrived!"

"The Lord is coming, and the feast is about to begin......"
