Chapter 290: The First Floor (Part I)
Seeing that these men were tall and strong, with full beards, their faces were already flushed, and the clothes on their chests were open, revealing the black and fluffy heart hair inside, like evil ghosts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Cuiyu subconsciously dodged behind Zhao Guanhou, and one of these big men slipped and crashed towards Aoki Xuanchun, who was leading the way.
But at the moment when the two almost collided, Aoki Xuanjun's hand moved slightly, and he couldn't see how he moved, and the big man had already changed direction and fell to the side. And Aoki was still shouting again and again, "Watch your step, pay attention." Master, you've drunk too much. I said, guys, someone is here with a few masters. ”
The big man hit the wall all the way to stop, and just wanted to scold while holding on to the wall, several Oriental bodyguards had already come over, two of them set up one, and pushed out. Aoki shook his head, "A bunch of Tiele soldiers, there's really no way. In addition to drinking, they are looking for women, and this is their favorite place to come, but every time they come, it will make a mess. Eighty percent of the fights that took place here were caused by them, and 95 percent of the fights were caused by Tiele people. ”
A few people talked and talked, and they had already gone up to the second floor. Outside the door, several Tiele men who were pushed out by Fusang's bodyguards were half-sent and half-thrown, but at this time, they had lost the slightest sense of alcohol and stood straight in the cold wind. The leader's eyes were bright and clear, and he couldn't see the slightest drunkenness, and asked his subordinates
"Do you see clearly?"
"Your Excellency Major, we can swear that Chinese is Zhao Guanhou."
"Well, we can go and inform Lord Varian so that he can get ready. Also, that Aoki Xuanjun is not easy to deal with, he is a judo master, and as soon as I approached, he found out. For him, we must take precautions, and we should prepare more manpower. ”
A Tiele man said: "If we prepare a group of gunners......"
"Man, don't forget about Maguan. If a negotiator is shot, at the negotiating table, we will be passive. Only through a fair duel can one be left speechless. Don't you trust Lord Varian's swordsmanship and marksmanship? Now, go and inform him, and then, let our men be ready, it's time to avenge those who died in battle. ”
Inside the Art Museum, the performance has already begun. Contrary to Zhao Guanhou's imagination, the performance was not the kind of art he remembered, wearing a kimono, painted with lead, and performing classical dances with a group fan.
On the contrary, more than a dozen artists are between fifteen and eighteen years old, and although they are wearing kimonos, they are thinly powdered and dressed just right. The dance is also a light song and dance, the dance posture is graceful, looking forward to the fragrance, inadvertently, or revealing half of the fragrant shoulder, or showing a smiling face, the choreography is unique. Little by little, it teases the man's mind, but it is implicit but not revealing, which is just right.
In the middle, a woman playing the shamisen covers her face with a thin veil, revealing only willow eyebrows and almond eyes, which also makes it certain that under the veil, there must be a stunning face. Cheng Zhen has been here a lot these days, but this kind of battle is the first time he has seen it, and he is crazy to watch. After a while, he said, "This ...... Who's this? Why haven't I seen her before? I've never seen these girls. ”
"This Miss Yoko, who is a senior manager on the first floor and the adopted daughter of Mr. Aoki, is not an actor here, how can she come out to perform? The people she brought with her today are all managers on the first floor, not the girls below, just to receive friends and improvise. They only perform, Uncle Zhen, you can't think too much. Kawashima Naniwa explained with a smile:
"The actual largest shareholder on the first floor is Mr. Aoki. Here he can decide everything. If you have the idea of beating his daughter, beware of Mr. Aoki's order, Brother Zhen will not be able to come here for recreation in the future. ”
Junxuan Aoki smiled: "Yoko is just eighteen years old this year, she is not an art ki, so naturally there will be no guests." She wants to perform, it's her power, and if she feels tired, she'll leave. This is something that no one can force. Uncle Zhen, I hope you can understand, this is no way. ”
Cheng Zhen has been in the factory for a long time, and he is not confused in this regard, knowing that what the other party is saying is Jianghu dialect, which is nothing more than asking for silver. He looked at Aoki, "Mr. Aoki, give me a happy word, how much does it cost, you can sit down with this Miss Yoko and have a chat." ”
"This ...... Where does this begin? Aoki looked dazed, "I said it, she is not Yiji, Uncle Zhen let her hear this, and she will scare people away as soon as possible." In fact, even if I want to listen to her play, it depends on her mood, how can I arrange it for you. In this way, let's talk about business first, and when the business is over, I will ask Yoko to boost the uncle, as for whether she can agree, I don't dare to pack the ticket. ”
Zhao Guanhou took over and said, "Aoki-kun, the business we want to talk about right now is peace talks." I don't know what you think about the peace talks. ”
Aoki smiled, "Although I work for the military, my main task is to translate, not fight, so this time I am looking at war and peace from the perspective of an outsider." It is a point that no one can deny that your country is to blame for declaring war on other countries and thus being attacked. Now Galeries Lafayette realizes the value of peace and wants peace talks, which is good news for the people of both warring sides. However, peace talks must be sincere, and the most taboo at this time is to bargain. If it drags on for a long time, the worse it will be for your country. ”
He clapped his hands, and a subordinate woman sent in a map in small steps, and Aoki unfolded the map, "Look at it." Now that the coalition forces are in Beizhili, every day of time wasted here will cost your country one more day in another area. ”
The place where he used his finger was the gate outside the Jin Kingdom, "This is the land of your country's dragon prosperity, and for your court, it is a place that must not be abandoned." However, this place has now become the world of the Tiele people, and if you waste too much time here, the Tiele people's occupation of Guanwai is gradually consolidated, from temporary to permanent, and you want to regain the lost land, I think there is very little hope. ”
Shanqi looked at the map, also quite worried, and asked, "Mr. Aoki, what is your opinion?" ”
"Sign as soon as possible and try to cheer up. Instead of worrying about how many things you lose, you should think about how you lost them. In the future, when you become stronger, how can you get back what you lost? As long as you can do this, a small loss is not necessarily a bad thing. ”
Zhao Guanhou smiled, "Aoki-kun, listen to what you said, the content of this treaty has not been discussed?" Everyone talks about business, asks for a price, and pays back the money on the ground. On the one hand, the price is offered, but the other party is not allowed to bargain, how can there be such a rule. ”
"Lord Zhao, the premise of bargaining is that you must have capital in your hands. But now Daikin has what capital to bargain with other countries? Aoki shook his head
"Our two countries are of the same language and species, and they are both monarchies, so they can understand each other very well. After entering Beijing, our army properly protected the Forbidden City and did not allow foreign soldiers to offend, which is our goodwill, and I think you should agree with this. However, the thinking of other countries is not the same as that of Japan. I can give you a thorough explanation, among the countries, there is an idea, that is, the two houses are listed as war criminals and held accountable. It was our country that actively mediated the proposal and shelved it for the time being. If this proposal is reintroduced after a long time, it will be difficult for China to stop it at that time. ”
Shanqi was taken aback and looked at Kawashima Naniwa, "Brother Xian, can you say this?" How can the two palaces be listed as war criminals, this is absolutely unreasonable. ”
"Brother Ren, why don't I know that this is unreasonable? But the doctrine of the Tessie people is different from ours. ”
Aoki sighed, "Kawashima-kun is right, our two countries have the same idea, because we all come from the same cultural circle, and we are all yellow people, and we can understand each other's thoughts with each other. And the Tessies, who are very different from our culture, are neither familiar with our culture nor want to learn about our culture. In their eyes, they regard us Orientals as an inferior people, and think that we are the object of colonial oppression, rather than the target of cooperation and negotiation. Even for our emperor, there will be no reverence. It is only then that the emperor and the queen mother will also be listed as war criminals. ”
Kawashima Nanisu said: "Aoki-kun's words are very right, if you want to keep the emperor and the queen mother, all you can do is to agree to all their conditions." Gain time first, and when the country becomes rich and powerful, all the losses can be recovered from them. When our country encountered the black ship incident back then, we had to look at the eyes of foreigners, but today's Fuso no longer needs to bow to the foreign powers. Your country's land and population are all larger than Fusang's, why can't you be like us, change the law to become stronger, and resume work to cheer up? ”
Zhao Guanhou said: "But the terms in the treaty are too harsh, if you agree to it, I am afraid that you want to be strong but powerless, and you can't change it." ”
"I've thought about that, too. If the Jin country wants to be rich and strong, it must not only work hard itself, but also have allies externally. Aoki didn't mince words
"In the previous Restoration, some people in your country put forward the proposal of the Sino-Japanese Federation. Although this proposal has not been completed, one direction is right. That is the close cooperation between our two countries, the alliance of the yellow race against the alliance of the white race. The world of the future will be a world in which the yellow race and the white race will compete for supremacy, and only one side of the two sides will be able to dominate, and the loser will be slaughtered by the winner. Compared with the Caucasians, we developed too late and our strength was too weak, and if we fought separately, we would only be broken by each other. Only by uniting can we hope for victory in this war for the fate of the race. ”
"What does Mr. Aoki mean that your country is willing to help us in the Kingdom of Jin?"
"Exactly. Our bankers are ready to lend to your country to help you pay the required part of the treaty. As for arms, as long as Fuso has its own port in Jinguo, then our arms and raw materials will continue to be transported into your country. The so-called arms embargo clauses of various countries are nothing more than a dead letter. ”
Shanqi said happily: "This method is good, they say theirs, let's do ours." The deaf slaughtered the pig and did not listen to that hum. But we can't just have loans and weapons, we have to have people. There are too few talents in our country to train our troops. ”
Aoki smiled, "In the past, your country's military training focused on hiring Prussian instructors, but their training methods and tactics were more suitable for Taixi than for the Eastern battlefield. What's more, the Prussian instructors, while teaching combat techniques, also passed on their ideas to the hearts of the inherited generals. The soldiers trained by them are not trustworthy in loyalty. The quality of our soldiers is not inferior to that of the Tessie soldiers, and our officers are more familiar with the geography and humanistic ideas of the East, and if we were to train the soldiers and formulate the system, the results would be better than those of the Prussians. And the Fuso officers only teach tactics, and never ask about integrity. ”
Aoki looked at Zhao Guanhou, "Adults are young talents, and the future is unlimited. Our Commander Fukushima has mentioned Your Excellency on more than one occasion that you will be the most brilliant star of your country in the future. I believe that with your vision, you will be able to understand that the future development is more important than the immediate gains and losses. If you cling to the terms in front of you and lose the opportunity for development, you will lose the big with the small. ”
"Aoki-kun, what you said makes sense, if your country can help our country, then indeed, this treaty in front of you is not impossible to sign. However, since you are a China expert, you should also understand our business. The dignified negotiating minister, after coming, nothing was discussed, how you write, I will sign it, between the government and the opposition, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain. Zhang Juexiang made friends with the Tiele people, hoping that the Tiele people could contribute to it and slightly change the conditions one or two paragraphs, and the prime minister also explained in the court. I want to be friends with your country, but between friends, it is also the right way to help each other. The treaty is not easy word for word, which makes me speak in front of the Queen Mother? ”
Aoki Xuanchun smiled, "Lord Zhao, I can understand what you said, but this negotiation is different from the past, and the interests you should fight for are outside the treaty, not within the treaty." ”
At this time, the performance of the shamisen had stopped, and a subordinate girl came to Aoki's ear and muttered a few words, Aoki laughed, "Lord Zhao, little girl Yoko, admire heroes, I hope to toast you with a glass of wine, I don't know if you are willing to appreciate it?" ”
Cheng Zhen over there coughed heavily, as if to remind Zhao Guanhou not to behave in front of his brother-in-law. Aoki clapped his hands, and the dancing women came to the crowd and bowed.
Aoki said, "These are the managers on our first floor, and they don't put on a show and never drink with the guests. But today, I can make an exception for my friends, Uncle Zhen, Lord Su, you can choose your own lovely women to drink and chat with. ”
What he meant by this was obviously to tell Cheng Zhen not to fight Yoko's idea, and not to ruin the good things of the two. Cheng Zhen also knew that although the owner of the Aoki Pavilion looked kind, he was actually very energetic in the military, and he was also a person who could speak in front of Commander Fukushima, and he was definitely not to be provoked.
If you play the grandeur of the clan, you will only suffer in the end. Unexpectedly, in terms of robbing women, he suffered a loss again, and he pointed with his hand hatefully, "I want her, and her, both of them." ”
"Yes. You two, go drink with Uncle Zhen. ”
The two women nodded, one left and one right sat next to Cheng Zhen, Su Wang Shanqi didn't have the heart to fight for the wind, and found a woman casually, his mind was still on cooperation. "Guanhou, I think what Aoki-kun said makes sense, the matter of compensation is difficult to change, rather than this, it is better to think about the future future. It's better than losing again and again. ”
At this time, Yoko had already taken small steps to Zhao Guanhou, bowed first, and greeted him in a sweet voice. Zhao Guanhou replied in fluent Fusang language, "Miss Yoko doesn't have to be polite, sit down and say something if you have something to say." (To be continued.) )
