Compared with Europe, Japan's economy has begun to recover at this time, and the people coming and going on the streets are completely different from the urgency of the Nord principality, whether it is walking or looking at the face, there is no ease at all.

At this moment, Joseph was a little confused, he didn't know whether his customized national policy was correct, and it was good to say that the life of Nord citizens at this time was leisurely, and to say that it was lazy, and there was no heart of struggle at all.

One of the reasons why Japan and Germany were so strong during World War II may be one of the reasons why they lived a fast-paced, meticulous and regular life, but now the Nord principality is taking a completely different path.

However, on the other hand, Joseph has no desire to compete for hegemony, and there is no need to compete for hegemony in the new era, which is too tiring and too difficult, and Nord's foundation is not qualified to compete there at all. In that case, why not make your own country happier? Thinking about this, the confusion in Joseph's eyes disappeared, and was replaced by firmness, which path to go down firmly.

Marceau on the side didn't know that after a fierce struggle in his own duke's heart, looking at the passers-by walking hurriedly outside the car window, Soma was curious in his heart, curious about a completely different living environment.

It didn't take long for the Kyoto State Guest House to appear in front of the convoy, and the general manager of the hotel was waiting at the door early, and as soon as the car stopped, he stood up straight as if a soldier was waiting for the general's review.

"Dear His Royal Highness Joseph, on behalf of the Kyoto State Guest House, I would like to welcome you, please!"

Nodding slightly to the general manager who spoke, Joseph walked towards the hotel under the guidance of the waiter, and when he went upstairs, he also saw some blonde and blue-eyed Westerners, not surprisingly, these should have something to do with the United States.

"Mr. Kentaro Matsumoto, if I can, I would like to pay a visit to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Hey! I'm sorry, Your Highness Joseph, but our Emperor is not in good health and is not suitable to receive guests, so please forgive me. ”

Joseph was just a test to see that the Japanese emperor was determined to stop insisting, and he didn't know that his abandonment made Kentaro Matsumoto breathe a sigh of relief.

After saying a few words casually, he sent Joseph to the presidential suite and left Kentaro Matsumoto, and Joseph did not stop him, allowing him to leave, until Kentaro Matsumoto left, Joseph had people call the general manager of the Kyoto State Guest House and ask what was interesting in Tokyo.

"Fun place? The most fun and lively thing in Tokyo is probably the cherry blossom festival, but now is not the time when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and Sensoji Temple is also good, so you can visit your highness. ”

"Isn't the Yasukuni Shrine open to the public?"

"Forehead ......"

The prime minister of the Kyoto State Guest House didn't think of going to other places, after all, he didn't know that Joseph was a Chinese in his previous life, and he also had half Chinese blood in this life, and the general manager simply felt that it was not suitable to talk about this topic, after all, World War II had just ended, and the Yasukuni Shrine was ......

"I'm just talking casually, Sensoji Temple is a temple?"

"Yes, Your Highness, Sensoji Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo, and there are many shops selling Japanese souvenirs and sweets, especially when there are celebrations throughout the year."

The general manager of the Kyoto State Guest House still treats Joseph as a child, and introduces lively places with sweets, but he doesn't know that his words make Joseph feel like he can't cry or laugh.

After the general manager left, Joseph did not go out immediately, and Joseph was also tired from the long flight, and lying down and taking a nap was the most important thing to do at this time.

At the same time, the Principality of Nogo, the US Secretary of State has not yet arrived, but the Nord cabinet is a dispute, James is not there, Smith is not there, and the rest of the cabinet members are all newcomers promoted in the Joseph era, compared to the old people in Ragnar, their loyalty still has some problems.

If there is a party in the Nord Principality at this time, then the old man of the Ragnar family led by James is a faction, and Smith is also one of them. Andy's Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Guard Bureau, and the Praetorian Guard had a special status, as they could form a faction on their own, but the Zhejiang faction was a descendant of Joseph and only obeyed orders.

The rest were some of the officials left behind by Kress and some of the immigration officials, most of whom were truly learned, but certainly not as faithful as the old men of the Ragnars, and even they had only respect and reverence for Joseph.

The army has a building brainwashing effect, and Joseph has never worried about their loyalty, but it is different for this group of people, neither James nor Joseph has relaxed their guard against them, but James does not know Joseph's thoughts, and often reminds Joseph from time to time in his worries.

It was because of these words and Andy's loyalty that Joseph did not dissolve the cabinet and allowed James to remain in the position of prime minister.

In fact, there is now a fourth party in Nord, that is, the current members of the House of Commons after the parliamentary system, although they are restricted by Joseph, they are usually unrestrained, and they have criticized the government many times, and each time Joseph remains neutral and ignores it.

The purpose of the establishment of the parliamentary system was to let the parliament contain the government, but now the power of the parliament is too small to meet Joseph's requirements.

At this time, the head of the cabinet was the Minister of Civil Affairs, Robert, who was the only remaining French official after the Cress era, and of course it would be more appropriate to speak of French origin now.

From the beginning of the cabinet security chief to the Minister of Defense personally appointed by Joseph, the Minister of Health at the end of the Kress era, and now the Minister of Civil Affairs, Robert's seniority can be called the first in Nord.

In fact, both Joseph and James wanted to remove Robert more than once, but his ability was outstanding and there was no valid reason, and even if Joseph wanted to do something, he had to take into account the honor of the government and the royal family.

Cress left, and most of the officials at the time defected to James, and only a few still relied on Robert to stay in their original positions, and even these people felt that their backers would not last long, but things often came out of their minds......

Honest, capable, and human, for a moment Robert broke out with a performance that was not in the Kress government, which made James, who had just taken over as prime minister at the time, feel that he couldn't do it.

As time passed, although his inner guard did not decrease, James actually recognized Robert's status in Nord, especially since he had emigrated to Nord.

Under such circumstances, the officials who had left that year gathered around Robert again, and a small circle began to form in Nord, and it was Joseph who realized this and asked Andy to form the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the purpose of which was to deal a fatal blow to Robert in the future.
