The Imperial Palace of Japan

"We're very passive about this."

"What do you want me to do?"

Joseph did not have time to pay attention to the nonsense of the emperor, he only hoped that he could do some help, not for the emperor but for himself, for the interests of the Nord kingdom in Japan.

It is obvious why American businessmen are doing it, and if the government returns to giving pro-American forces the upper hand, then the commercial investment of the Nord kingdom needs to be unlucky, something that Joseph cannot tolerate. Although it is very reluctant, it is undeniable that now the Nord Kingdom and the United States have no way out of each other because of the Japanese matter.

"This is the list, the list of the Japanese CIA and some people who are friendly to the United States, and some of them are business leaders."

Looking at the list handed over by the Japanese emperor, Joseph seemed to understand something in his heart, nodded and took the list and turned to leave without hesitation.

"What if he talks to the Americans?"

"There is no way, now we can only bet that the United States will not agree to his plan, because the Nord kingdom has a much greater appetite than the United States, and American businessmen do not ...... There shouldn't be compromises. ”

……

Joseph did not look for the head of the United States in Japan, but he also did not do what the emperor wanted, he was sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and if one side showed weakness, he would help the other, but it should not be too obvious, because it was necessary to avoid the United States and the Japanese emperor uniting against him.

Although the probability of that is very low, after all, the Nord Kingdom only occupies a negligible interest in Japan, and the real big head Hokkaido has not yet been fully obtained, even if the two parties join forces, the Nord Kingdom cannot lose too much, but if there is no Nord Kingdom, the situation between the United States and the Japanese emperor will appear to be clear, which is something that the emperor will not want to see.

To put it simply, the Emperor of Japan needed the Nord Kingdom to help him resist the United States, and the United States did not dare to provoke the Nord Kingdom and finally let Japan take all the benefits. The Nord kingdom will not sit idly by and watch the emperor be completely swallowed up by the pro-American forces in Japan, because he also needs the Japanese emperor to resist the American power in Japan.

The year 2000 passed under such circumstances. In March 2001, the first 3G phone was dialed by Nokia in the Nord Kingdom, and the 3G era officially came.

As the fourth prime minister of the Nord Kingdom, Eric personally visited Nokia and highly appreciated Nokia's contribution to the Nord Kingdom and the world, at the same time Apple released the iPhone3, and it has been six years since the iPhone2 was released, but the iPhone3 accumulated in these six years is almost not at the same level as the iPhone2, which is completely different from the upgrade of the iPhone1 and iPhone2.

The mobile network has made the iPhone 3 a mobile version of the computer, and many students have given up on buying a new Apple computer in favor of the iPhone 3 because of the removal of some big games. The rest of the functions are almost perfect for replacing the computer.

Apple is seizing the time to develop terminal games, especially in cooperation with Microsoft Games, and excellent terminal games such as World of Warcraft and Jin Yong's Legend are being developed one by one.

Because of technology, Apple's president was canonized as the fifth lord of the Nord Kingdom, the first being Prime Minister James and the second being the dead Fritz. Erich. Feng. General Manstein, and the third was Joseph's literary teacher, Elias. Mr. Canetti and the fourth is the language teacher Elias. Mr. Canetti.

The reason why they were able to obtain the title of Lord was because they were rewarded for being able to cultivate contact with Joseph, and although these teachers were embarrassed, they finally accepted it.

In fact, the president of Apple was the first Nord citizen to be knighted because of technology, and because of a lord, he was successfully elected to the upper house of the Nord kingdom. Even if he is still the president of Apple, he is already on par with the status of the Minister of Commerce.

It didn't take long for the presidents of Nokia and Audi to receive knighthoods, while the high-profile Microsoft and Nord Royal Petroleum companies did not make any moves.

In the Presidential Suite at the Nord Royal Hotel:

"Matthew. This time the Lord didn't have the two of us, and it seems that this business meeting was not an ordinary shame. ”

"It's a small thing to be embarrassed, and I always have some uneasiness in my heart, thinking that something will happen."

"No matter how big the cabinet change is, it doesn't matter to us. Rest assured, can you still leave Microsoft? You are the patriarch of Microsoft, and now you are the president, and there is no credit and hard work. ”

The two people who spoke were Matthew, president of Microsoft, and Lin Guodong, Nord Royal Petroleum. Lin Guodong was not too surprised that he didn't get the Lord, after all, only he knew the internal situation of the Nord Royal Company, he was just a puppet, and he would feel hot if the Lord gave it to him.

However, this matter is indeed a bit embarrassing, standing on the international trade platform, people are introducing Lord Nord and the president of a certain company, and only they are monotonous presidents, which is really ......

Knock knock~

There was a knock on the door, because he didn't let the bodyguards follow Lin Guodong, so he could only open the door by himself, and after opening the door, he saw a very familiar face, but Lin Guodong was very strange, what was the prime minister looking for himself to do at this time.

"Lin, aren't you welcome to me?"

"Welcome, welcome, Your Excellency Prime Minister, please."

Inviting Eric to the door with doubts, he was also very surprised to see Eric Matthew, and Eric couldn't help but smile when he saw that Matthew was also here: "Matthew is also here, I have one thing to inform you, and the specific way to do it depends on your own opinions." ”

"Our cabinet proposes to appoint Matthew as the deputy minister of commerce, and Lin Guodong, the former deputy minister of the ministry of commerce and president of the Nord Royal Petroleum Company, is proposed to be the minister of health of the Nord."

Let the president of an oil group be the Minister of Health? Who made such a bizarre decision? Matthew was surprised by the absurdity of the decision, but Lin Guodong was not surprised, because few people knew that he had also been a health ministry official for a period of time before becoming president of the oil group.

"It seems that this is also my return to my old profession, Matthew, you should not know, I was a director of the Ministry of Health."

Uncut jade! Now what Matthew wants to say is, who decided to make Lin Guodong, the head of the Ministry of Health, the president of the oil group?

"If there is no problem, then this matter will be settled!"

"Prime Minister Eric, may I ask the former Minister of Health, Rupert, ......"

"He is now a member of the Council for Western Sahara."

From a ministerial-level tycoon to a regional councilor, no one can say whether this is a promotion or a demotion, but if you think about the current situation in the Nord Kingdom, some seem to be a little clear.

This time I am sorry Marceau, because the position of prime minister itself should be his, if nothing else, the next prime minister will definitely be Marceau, so that Rupert, the member of the Western Sahara regional parliament, may be the speaker of the lower house? Even if the speaker is not possible, there is no problem with the deputy speaker.

The retirement age of the ministerial boss stipulated by the Nord Kingdom is 60 years old, and if he serves as the deputy speaker, it can be extended to 80...... There is a lot of hope.

If they could, Lin Guodong and Matthew would never have chosen this way, because if they stayed in Microsoft and Nord Royal Petroleum, they would have a good chance of obtaining the title of Lord, which is a lifetime title without retirement.

Although reluctant, there was something that could not be refused, and the two agreed to Eric's departure from the hotel and return to the Cabinet Office.

Seeing Eric come back, Claire, the new Prime Minister's Chief of Staff, said very teasingly: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, they should be very sad!" ”

"Losing the chance to get a Lord, I think it will be like that."

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you have no problem......"

"Other prime ministers may have no problem, but my best possibility is to be the Speaker of the House of Commons rather than a member of the House of Lords, and Mr. James is 80 years old!"

"Smith will take over as Speaker of the House of Lords next year, if nothing else."

Claire replied, planning a little, Eric felt that he still had a good chance of getting the Lord in five years, because the House of Lords needed his own deputy speaker.

……

Western Sahara

"Sister Marceau, why didn't Dad make you Prime Minister of Nord?"

Looking at Louis who was following behind, Marceo couldn't help but smile on his somewhat tired face: "Because Prince Charles needs an absolutely obedient prime minister instead of a capable prime minister like me." ”

Louis was sent to Western Sahara by Flender a few months ago, which was also the agreement between Joseph and Gao Jingxuan, he couldn't let his son be a crybaby and a coward.

"If I become King Nord in the future, then I will definitely make Sister Marceau Prime Minister."

"Even if you are not King of the Nords, I will be Prime Minister in a few years, but Louis you should understand that you will not be the King of the Nords."

Marceau couldn't let Louis have any dangerous thoughts, and now that Louis was with her, if Louie said something in front of Joseph, wouldn't it be mistaken for himself to teach? Marceau couldn't afford such a black pot, and Joanna also heard this, but she was a little unimpressed.

Charlie has nothing to do now, if something happens to him, then Flender is unwilling to serve as the Nord kingdom, how can Louis be impossible?

Louis didn't have so many ideas, he just said casually, the Ragnar family is a family that values family affection and unity, and the matter of killing his brother and imprisoning his father will not appear in the Nord Kingdom.

"Even if I can't be King of Nord, I must convince my father to canonize you, Sister Joanna, and my mother as Princess Nord."

Louie's gaze was very determined, Marceau wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. (To be continued......)
