Chapter 35: Let's do it together
"It's so ........ Fear! Countless people whispered like this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
In the celebration of the fourteenth birthday of Miss Lin Mengchu, the lord of Handan, the king of Hebei, the guardian of the whole territory of Shandong, and the emperor of the Mongols, of course, there were no bloody heads, and there were no shriveled ones, and now there are only luxury and grandeur.
This is not just a birthday party, but also a reward ceremony for hundreds of thousands of people. All soldiers and officers who participated in the war received their medals and bonuses. The men would then put on their new uniforms, eat enough food to bankrupt a prince, and then the GIs would return to their hometowns and brag to their neighbors about what they had seen.
Others will stay and participate in other feasts. The birthday banquet of the head of this huge power that the princes and the surrounding countries are eyeing is a good time for the various forces to exchange information and intentions.
A short, baby-faced Asian whispered, "What a person to shiver and fear." β
Sugiyama Bin gave him a cold look and reprimanded in a low voice, "Shut up, Kogoro!" β
The man who was reprimanded was none other than the military attache of the Chinese embassy, the son-in-law of the Mori family, a Japanese officer known as Kogoro Takano. Kogoro chuckled under his breath, "Don't you think so, my lord? β
"Humph!" Sugiyama didn't fall for him. He is the minister to China, and he is the eldest son of the Sugiyama family, so there is no need to mess with these people in the military department.
Kogoro didn't want to let him go, and continued: "I heard that there are many Japanese who are fighting for her now, have you heard of it?" Many of the infantry regiments stationed in Mongolia were Japanese. β
"What do you want to say?" Sugiyama Bin looked at this guy who was said to have excellent intelligence in disgust, "Do you want to say that your army people have surrendered to the enemy?" β
"No, of course I wouldn't say that." Kogoro laughed, "If that's the case, the people in the military department won't let me go, and those righteous men will still have knives and want to kill me." However, it doesn't exist because I don't say it. β
"Huh?" Sugiyama Bin was already confused, he didn't understand what the son-in-law of the Maori family wanted to say, was it really crushed by the other party's strength? He was a little unhappy, "Kogoro! This is the banquet, pay attention to your image! β
"Ah, it seems that you haven't read the new book called "Materialist View of History" in Handan?" Kogoro said with regret: "You should read more new books published here in Handan, which will help our work very much." β
"Getting to the point!"
"Okay, so what that book says makes a lot of sense. In Japan, even trying to move a chair can kill you....... What I want to say is that since the Beiyang government has collapsed, we should have a good relationship with the current authorities. β
"Hey, I've always had a good relationship with this side." Sugiyama was a little smug, "I also have a pretty good personal relationship with their chief of staff. β
"I know that, too," Kogoro nodded, "I'm responsible for the smuggling between the Maori family and China." β
"Oh?" Sugiyama Bin suddenly had a good impression of this little man, "What are you buying and selling?" β
"My lord, although the smuggling with Handan has made us a lot of money, this economic exchange volume cannot help our country become richer and stronger."
"So, you're still a righteous man?"
"Righteous man? Are you talking about the group of ronin samurai who can't even eat enough and are still bent on serving the country? Kogoro sneered, "If you're talking about that kind of righteous man, then I'm not a good man." β
"Hehe, I'm not either." Sugiyama laughed, "But what I did helped a lot of Japanese people. β
"Yes, what we did was illegal, but it was not evil." Kogoro nodded and said seriously: "Our country is not strong at all, and it is not easy to survive in this dangerous world. β
"So?"
"Therefore, we need to have a deeper cooperation with Handan, instead of only people-to-people exchanges as it is now."
Sugiyama Bin felt that he understood what Kogoro meant, didn't he just watch others win battles and want to learn other people's military techniques. This kind of thing was done by the Japanese, it was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future. The Japanese have always been able to learn something that should not be underestimated.
The Japanese are famous in the world for their brain-opening and perversion. In the other world, during World War II, the Japanese also planned to carry out land reform in northern China, distributing the land equally among the poor to cultivate, so as to obtain more materials from the people's hearts.
"You want me to test my mouth first?" Sugiyama Bin squinted at Kogoro, "But what can we exchange for?" β
Typical Japanese thinking, Kogoro smiled bitterly in his heart, and then said seriously: "A real politician will not be concerned about immediate interests. There is no life-and-death contradiction between Japan and Handan, and there are far more interests than contradictions, so it is completely possible to strengthen cooperation between the two sides. β
Sugiyama Bin looked at the afternoon wolf for a while like a fool, and then said, "Then what good can we do?" β
"Uh, serve the emperor?"
βfuckingtheking!β Sugiyama Bin whispered, "We are seriously discussing the problem, so don't use this excuse to fool the people to prevaricate." β
Kogoro nodded, "..... Power. β
"Power?"
"Yes, if we can promote this matter, we will definitely be able to gain huge political prestige and accumulate manpower and strength."
"I'm not that ambitious," Sugiyama shook his head, "you shouldn't tell me about this kind of thing, but you should go to the Imperial Council to talk about it." But I think you'll be dragged out and shot by the guards before you can storm the room and speak at the Imperial Council. β
"Yes," Kogoro said helplessly, "this is Japan, and it's so hard for people like us to get ahead." β
"Come on," Sugiyama said disdainfully, "The Takano family is also Chinese, otherwise how could you be where you are now?" If you want to sigh, you might as well go and see those who sell their children and daughters. β
"That's right," Kogoro said, taking another drink, "So, what about the reason for doing what we want to do as we please?" β
β......... Are you trying to fool me? Sugiyama said angrily, "What's the difference between this and the previous reason?" β
"It's not really the difference, but it's a little different. What do you think? Do you want to do it together? β
"Hmph, not necessarily." (To be continued.) )
