Chapter subtitled: The Mysterious Oriental

"Five cauldrons?"

"Yes, it's five cauldrons!"

Old Mr. Chandler shook his head inexplicably and said, "What a strange Oriental. ”

He frowned and said, "Yuri, I've always found this student of mine to be very weird. It's true that I haven't taught him before, but I've inquired during this time, and he's a mediocre student...... Well, regular students. No one had ever heard of him writing, but now he was a writer. and his doctoral dissertation and political essay ......"

"Of course, there is a genius like him in history, but it is so without warning, and it is still a chin...... Well, nese. It's unbelievable. ”

"In short, I have been teaching for so many years, and I have never met a student like this." He instructed very seriously, "Yuri, maybe I'm too suspicious and a little prejudiced, but I really don't think you should get too close to this Oriental. He's so mysterious! ”

His son smiled bitterly in his heart, it was too late to say this. In fact, he has become a kind of "puppet" of this mysterious oriental.

"Your Excellency Justice" had no choice but to take a deep breath and said, "Father, I also know that Neo is a little ...... That one. But who else but him would offer such a good job to someone like me? ”

"But don't you think your current job really doesn't match your salary?" The Teutonic Knight, after all, was a thoughtful professor of political economy and an experienced old man, and he had long seen the paradox.

And now, his son has no choice but to try his best to dispel his father's doubts: "Father, in fact, this is just an advance. I will go to Europe next year ......"

"Europe?! Will it be dangerous? Old Mr. Chandler asked anxiously.

If it weren't dangerous, would the "Fool Lord" be so thoughtful, so generous, so knowledgeable, and make a spiritual connection?

Of course, he denied it: "No, father. There will be no danger. I'm just going to do business, not to fight. Besides, the destination of my trip is Germany, and you have always said that my German is very authentic. Of course, thanks to your teaching......"

"And the whip!"

"Hahaha......"

Father and son laughed at the same time. After a while, old Mr. Chandler raised his chin and pointed at the young female musician, "What about Miss Rogers?" ”

"Father, I am going to propose to her after Christmas, and if she agrees, then I will have a wedding before I go to Europe." ”

His father was naturally relieved when he heard this, and nodded and said, "Yuri, good luck." By the way, your mother's last words said that her diamond ring was specially reserved for your wife. She must be glad to see you...... Well, that's what it looks like. I'll find it out for you later. ”

"Thank you, father."

"Nomura-senpai, are you back? Great work. ”

"Yamamoto-kun, don't be so polite. Hey, it's Christmas Eve, haven't you gone out to play? ”

"Nomura-senpai, how can a Western-style dance be as interesting as our Japanese art house?"

"Hahaha, that's true. But before we drink, let's get down to business. ”

"Hey! Nomura-senpai, please advise. ”

"Yamamoto-kun, it's just the two of us here. It doesn't have to be that way......"

The dusty Nomura Kichizaburo didn't even change his clothes, so he talked to Yamamoto Isoroku in his office.

He said with a serious expression: "Yamamoto-kun, we in the navy all know that you have intuition that ordinary people don't have, and what I learned this time is indeed as you expected." ”

Although he had a hunch, Yamamoto Isoroku was still a little surprised and a little unacceptable and asked, "Nomura-senpai, what do you mean ......?"

Nomura Osa nodded and said, "Yamamoto-kun, you listen to me." I went to Ohio to meet a few Republican friends. They told me privately that the next Grand Commander, Mr. Harding...... Well, the main thing is that the 'Ohio Gang' around him is very unhappy with the continued existence of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. There are also criticisms of the Empire's actions in China. After they come to power, they are likely to pressure Britain to terminate its alliance with us, and they will also demand that the empire implement their 'open door' policy, and not hinder the entry of industrial products into China. ”

Actually, this is obvious. The next Republican administration will be completely a white glove of the American financial and industrial trust, and it will naturally serve them.

So what are these giant trusts for? Naturally, they want to expand their business territory with all their might. Therefore, for them, such a large market as Seris and Southeast Asia must not be missed.

Yamamoto Fifty-six had no choice but to nod silently.

I only heard Nomura Kichizaburo continue: "I went to Washington again to report this latest situation to His Excellency Minister Kishigero Bihara, and he also expected this......"

The current Japanese minister to the United States, Kishigero Bihara (1872-1951), served as foreign minister in the cabinet of Takaaki Kato, Reijiro Wakatsuki, and Yuyuki Hamaguchi from 1924 in the original timeline. Later, he became the 44th Prime Minister of Japan and the first Prime Minister of the post-war period.

"Nomura-senpai, what did Minister Bihara say?"

"Hey...... He was also at a loss for this, so he had to report it to China first. ”

This kind of grand strategic readjustment involving the fundamental interests of the country, even if Kishigero Bihara has rich diplomatic experience, will not be able to change it.

Yamamoto Fifty-six pondered for a while, and finally decided to tell Yuan Yanqian about it, of course, not everything: "Nomura senior, I just went to see Yuan Sang a few days ago, and he told me......"

"Nani? He has a way to get the empire to get the right to exploit oil on North Birch Island?! ”

"He also wants to co-establish a shipping company with our navy?!"

"He's still going to smuggle arms to China?!"

These things were completely unexpected by Kichizaburo Nomura. He originally thought highly of our Master Yuan, but he still didn't expect this Chinese to be unexpectedly, unexpectedly, unexpectedly...... The energy is so great, and the money is so unscrupulous.

He stood up and paced a few steps in the office to sort out his thoughts before asking, "Yamamoto-kun, what do you think?" ”

"Nomura-senpai, I think I might as well give it a try. Anyway, if it doesn't work out for our Great Japanese Empire, there is no loss. And for our Navy, maybe we can pick up a shipping company for nothing. ”

"Hmm......" Nomura Kichizaburo thought for a moment, "I still have to discuss this matter with Minister Bihara......

Yamamoto Fifty-six interrupted a little impolitely: "Nomura-senpai, this is a matter for our navy, why bother to bring in His Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs?" Even if we want to involve them, it will be after we succeed. ”

"Well, I think it's still ......," Nomura Kichizaburo nodded slightly, "It's better to be cautious." ”

Only the Japanese can understand the "belly art", Yamamoto Fifty-six stood up and bowed and said, "Hey, the lower officials understand!" ”

And for the Japanese, this kind of thing is not the patent of the army red deer.
