VIP lounge on the second floor of the Peace Hotel.

The guest he met with had a great influence on his next plans: Sir C.F. Garstin, the British Consul General in Shanghai.

Due to the entry of the National Revolutionary Army into Shanghai and the Hankou incident, the relationship between the British authorities and the government of the Republic of China was very tense, and the Sir Justin did not handle Sino-British relations well, so he was transferred from China by the British cabinet and was about to rush to Fiji to serve as the high commissioner of the eight Central Pacific Island Protectorates including Fiji and Tonga.

Apparently, Sir Justin was demoted, and then he was sent to a few island nations in the Central Pacific where birds don't.

Zhang Meng is planning a military coup in the Kingdom of Tonga, and has already sent Jing Rui to lead the Zhang family security team to protect Zhang Wei's secret trip to Tonga.

At this time, Tonga was ruled by Queen Salot-Tupu III, so it was more appropriate for Zhang Wei to negotiate with the Queen of Tonga instead of Zhang Meng, and it was easy for women to find a bridge of communication between them.

Zhang Meng planned to find a suitable base in the Central Pacific Ocean to support the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War, because Tonga was located just right, that is, at the end of the Japanese army's strong crossbow, and close to Australia, which is currently the weakest small country in the Central Pacific region, and was not concerned by the powers of the world.

However, Queen Salotte was very strict about the sovereignty of the islands and refused to sell the islands to Zhang Meng, so Zhang Meng planned to overthrow the Salotte regime by force.

However, Zhang Meng considered that Tonga was a protectorate of the British, and although the trade profits obtained by the British in Tonga were far less than the fuel costs of their ships, Tonga was still a member of the British Commonwealth after all, and Zhang Meng, an outsider, who was armed to overthrow the Tongan regime, was bound to be strongly dissatisfied by the British authorities.

Obviously, Zhang Meng has not yet reached the point of direct confrontation with the British, so he can only find another way.

According to Zhang Wei's reply, Zhang Meng knew that the wealthy people of Inner Asia in the Vava'u Islands had always been dissatisfied with Queen Salot's rule. The reason is that from 1799 to 1852, the three families of Tonga fought for the throne of the civil war, the Taofa Ahao family quelled the war, and under the support of the Methodists, the fourth dynasty of Tonga - the Taufaahau dynasty was established, but Taufahau succumbed to the obscenity of the British, declared a British protectorate in 1900, and constantly squeezed out the Aprado family in Inner Asia, which caused the Aprado family to be extremely dissatisfied.

Zhang Meng knew that his opportunity had come, so he decided to support the Aprado family to establish an independent kingdom, and let the Aprado family become the card in his hand, that is, the puppet regime, so that as long as he had a good relationship with the British, he would succeed in controlling the Vava'u Islands.

Zhang Meng has a clear understanding of the attitude of the British, because he has found a breakthrough, which is Sir Justin, the British High Commissioner who was demoted to the eight countries of the Central Pacific.

This person is Zhang Meng's breakthrough, because Zhang Meng knows that he will not be willing to stay in the Central Pacific where he thinks birds don't, and he definitely wants to return to his original position, or even higher.

Zhang Meng saw his ambitions, so before he was about to leave his post and go to the Central Pacific, Zhang Meng held a banquet at the Peace Hotel to meet him.

It is impossible for a high-ranking British official like Sir Justin to be directly discussed by Zhang Meng. Previously, Zhang Meng negotiated with Constant's personal assistant, and basically negotiated the conditions before the two sides officially met, otherwise they would not meet at all.

After being introduced by the assistant, Sir Justin was very polite and enthusiastic to Zhang Meng as if he had met an old friend.

Of course, Zhang Meng has seen more political old foxes than Constant, so he laughed and greeted him.

The politicians' schedules are very tight, so after Zhang Meng negotiated the conditions with Constin's assistant, the meeting with Constance was a passing formality, and the two sides got to know each other and became old friends in terms of interests.

Constance agreed that as long as the Aprado family achieved de facto independence and held off the attack of the Tongan government forces, he would declare on behalf of the British government that he would recognize the new Aprado regime and install Zhang Meng's request that the new regime be included in the British Protectorate.

In exchange, Zhang Meng will spend money for Constance to get through the relationship with several heavyweight British parliamentarians, transfer Constance back to the UK, and support Constance to run for the position of member of parliament.

It can be said that this Justin is a lion's mouth, but Zhang Meng has money at this moment, and he needs a way to launder money by laying eggs from chickens. Helping Constance run for parliament is not unhelpful, Zhang Meng can foresee that he will deal with Constance again in the future, and it will be soon.

So Zhang Meng happily agreed to all of Constant's conditions, which made Constantin feel a little inexplicable, after all, Tonga is a barren place, what does Zhang Meng want to do there?

However, Constantin had to say it in advance.

"Zhang Gongzi has a father's political acumen and business style, but Tonga is a barren land, I don't know what Zhang Gongzi you plan to do there, what purpose you have, I don't have any interest in care, I must emphasize one point, if Zhang Gongzi does something that threatens the interests of the British Empire, then I will resolutely draw a line with you, do you understand what I mean?"

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will never trust you with Xiaoshui! Besides, the benefits that your country has obtained in that place in Tonga are not even one thousandth of the investment, and it is a place to lose money, so how can I damage the interests of your country? So you can rest assured! ”

Zhang Meng smiled faintly, politicians are like this, he has seen a lot.

Justin is right to think about it, if it was placed before World War I, when the British Empire was strong, it might have liked to pay money to control Tonga, but now that the British national power is weakening in the world, Tonga's barren land has actually been abandoned by the British Empire, but because of the face of the British Empire, it continues to slap the swollen face and fill the fat man to aid Tonga, after all, Tonga is still a Commonwealth protectorate.

"That's the best!"

Justin smiled again, and his fat neck had two extra layers of chin bumps.

The meeting between Justin and Zhang Meng ended in less than ten minutes, and the two hugged and said goodbye, thinking that they were old friends for decades.

Zhang Zhong drove Zhang Meng directly to the secret base, which was a private hospital, Zhang Meng bought it, and the basement became the brood of the Blue Fox Special Service.

After each operation, Zhang Meng will hold a summary meeting, so that all members can criticize and self-criticize the experience and lessons gained in the course of the operation, and by pointing out each other's strengths and weaknesses, everyone can improve their abilities together.

Everyone summed it up, especially the hippo, who today also realized the mistake he made, so he took the initiative to admit the mistake and said that he would not make it again.

However, the Blue Fox Secret Service team had clear rewards and punishments, and Hippo was routinely punished by washing all team members' clothes for a month, and deducting $10,000 from the $20,000 reward for the operation as punishment. However, because Hippo alone brought out more than $3 million in cash and gold bars, he contributed a lot to the team's action funds, and an additional $15,000 was awarded.

The elephant immediately patted the hippopotamus on the shoulder: "Ah! Hippopotamus, you can do it, not to mention the merits and demerits, and an extra 5,000 US dollars more than us! Hippopotamus, you've made a fortune! ”

The hippopotamus said shyly: "Where did you earn it, don't you have to wash your clothes for a month!" ”

The monkey suddenly laughed and said: "Hippos will be joking, you are a golden hand, you can earn 5,000 US dollars by washing clothes for a month!" ”

The squirrel suddenly laughed: "And there are two beautiful women's clothes, wow, hippopotamus, you have made a fortune!" I just don't know if there is any underwear that can be washed! Don't sniff the hippopotamus! ”

The bat suddenly protested: "Go, go, go!" The dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth, I wash my clothes myself, and I still have dirty hands on you stinky men! ”

In the midst of a sigh, the monkey suddenly exclaimed, "If it's a sparrow, Batgirl won't mind!" ”

The crowd burst into an uproar.

"Boring!" Sparrow is none other than Tengyu, who is said to be the object of Batgirl's long-time crush, and apparently he is not cold.

At this time, the tiger suddenly turned to the cow and said with a wicked smile: "I'll wash the milk girl's clothes, and I will never look at or touch it!" ”

"Then you suck (wash) with your mouth!"

"You've guessed it!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

The cow had long been accustomed to the teasing and joking of this group of dead ghosts, but he looked at Zhang Meng with a twist, and plucked up the courage to say: "If it's the captain, I don't mind!" ”

Wow!

A blatant show of love!

O goddess of our end! You can't abandon us so soon!

How can we live!

Everyone looked at Zhang Meng one after another, with jealousy, envy and hatred.

Zhang Meng smiled helplessly, but he didn't dare to look at the cow's eyes, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Okay!" Tomorrow is a day off, you can have as much fun as you want, but be safe, keep an eye on the strip for now, and the cost must not exceed $5,000! Disband! ”

When everyone heard that there was a day off, they were immediately overjoyed, and naturally forgot the topic just now.

The cow suddenly glared at Zhang Meng angrily, and Zhang Meng hurriedly turned his head and called the squirrel to his office.

Seeing the cow stamping its feet in anger, Batgirl couldn't help but glance at the sparrow in the distance, he was still so indifferent to himself, thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.
