Subtitle of this chapter: I'm afraid I don't know the goods

"Tuk-tuk."

Our Master Yuan personally opened the door and greeted him warmly, "Mr. Yamamoto, you are really punctual. ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six bowed ninety degrees according to the Japanese first, straightened up and said in acceptable English: "Mr. Yuan, how dare I slack off when you invite me to a dinner party of a great writer?" ”

As he spoke, he picked up a bottle of sake in his hand and said, "A small gift, not a tribute." ”

"According to us Seris, you're making fun of me. But we stayed in the territory of Westerners, so we had to follow the local customs. Thank you......" He took the gift, let Yamamoto Fifty-six in, and asked casually, "I heard that Mr. Noda and Mr. Inoue are not in New York, right?" ”

"Uh......" Yamamoto said after a moment's hesitation, "yes, both of them have official duties, and they are indeed not in New York now. If Mr. Yuan has anything, I can convey it on my behalf. ”

In fact, Yuan Yanqian got the news from the Pinkerton office that in recent days, the first-class military attache Noda Kichizaburo has arrived in Washington, and the third-class military attache Inoue Narumi has boarded a cruise ship to Britain. In this way, it is very likely that they have confirmed their news from some sources, and they also believe that the Republican government will really use the situation in Ireland to pressure Britain to abolish the Anglo-Japanese alliance.

He thought so in his heart, but said with a regretful look on his face: "It's a pity, Mr. Noda's demeanor and Mr. Inoue's knowledge are really impressive." If it weren't for the rush last time, I'd like to talk to them. But ......"

He glanced at Yamamoto Fifty-six, nicknamed "The Gambler", and said with a smile: "Mr. Yamamoto's gambling skills are even more memorable to me." Hahaha......"

"Hahaha......" The latter scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Yuan, you really like to joke." ”

Master Yuan did not invite Yamamoto Fifty-six to the living room and game room, but took him into his study.

"Want to have a drink? Mr. Yamamoto. I've got good whiskey and gin here. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan. Whisky, pure is good. ”

He didn't let Miss Ainica or the waiters serve on the side, he poured himself a glass of whiskey and handed it to Neon Gold, "Mr. Yamamoto, I'm sorry. I also had two more ...... today Well, a friend of the Solitary Country, he has not yet arrived. So, we'll have to wait a while. ”

He had indeed invited the Earl of Kela and his lieutenant, but Mr. Scharnhorst, on the pretext that he was not feeling well, had to ask Mr. Chandler Jr. to fetch Mr. Stauffenberg.

Yamamoto replied naturally, "It's okay. It is also a rare opportunity to communicate face-to-face with a great writer like Mr. Yuan. By the way, I also read the "A Song of Ice and Fire" that you sent to the consulate, and it was indeed quite wonderful. Inoue Jun also said that if I hadn't been in contact with you in person, I really couldn't believe that this book was actually written by our compatriots in Greater East Asia. ”

"Hehe, it's over." Yuan Yanqian chuckled and asked, "Mr. Yamamoto, what do you think of this book?" ”

"Arnold (this)...... I think this book is a bit of your country's masterpiece "Water Margin". ”

Our Master Yuan was refreshed when he heard this. This militarist leader has some literary skills? Speaking of which, "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "Water Margin" are indeed a bit similar, both of which use POV (Point Of Vie), that is, point of view character writing techniques.

Of course, "Water Margin" does not so deliberately limit the reader's horizons), which provides the necessary curtain for the intricate clue setting in the book. However, both of these stories are told by character A from his own standpoint, and then replaced by character B, and so on.

He gave a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Yamamoto, I can't see that you are also quite accomplished in literature. When I wrote "A Song of Ice and Fire", I did refer to the writing method of "Water Margin"......"

Yuan Yanqian said in her heart, Martin thief, I'm sorry for you. When you're born...... Well, if you can still give birth, I'll make it up to you.

The two chatted over the topic. After a while, Master Yuan saw that the heat was almost over, so he coughed and said, "Mr. Yamamoto, in addition to looking for an opportunity to communicate with a great Japanese imperial hero like you, I also have a business I want to talk to you about. ”

"Business?!" Yamamoto Fifty-six frowned and said, "Mr. Yuan, are you mistaken?" I'm a naval officer, and my family isn't in business, so what business can we talk about? ”

Yuan Yanqian smiled slightly, opened the drawer, took out a folded drawing, put it on the table, and then gently pushed it with his fingers to the admiral lieutenant of the Imperial Japanese Army.

Yamamoto put down the wine glass in his hand, picked up the drawings and unfolded them......

"Hachikana!" The little man jumped up from the sofa chair and asked excitedly, "Mr. Yuan, is this ......?"

Master Yuan nodded and said, "This is the distribution map of Texas oil fields!" ”

And, of course, the map of the Texas oil fields that have now been surveyed.

That's right, the master ball system only allows Yuan Da to be plagiarized, more precisely to extract future economic and literary works, and the content of other disciplines has so far been banned from publishing. But after reading and reading the manual, he found that the results that had been discovered in other disciplines could be shown to others, and it was actually free.

For example, this Texas oil field distribution map, you will never find such a detailed drawing on the market, and some of the oil fields on it are not known at all except for the senior management of major oil companies.

In other words, as long as someone discovers the oil field and draws it in writing, no matter how much they keep it secret, they can't hide it from the Master Ball System, and of course they can't hide it from our Master Yuan.

In fact, this top-secret map of the distribution of oil fields is of little use to him, can he still dig for oil according to the map? These places are sure to be watched, if not bought by oil companies. He, a Chinese with only a little background, ran over, that was not looking for death.

Yamamoto studied energy at Harvard University and visited the U.S.-Mexico border, so he is naturally familiar with the oil-producing region of Texas. He could see that in addition to all the known large oil fields, there were several undeveloped oil deposits on the drawing.

It's just that after the excitement, he also understood, not to mention whether this thing is real or not, even if it is true, it has no practical effect on him to the Great Japanese Empire.

So Yamamoto Fifty-six opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Yuan, what do you mean......?"
