Aoyama nodded: "You're right to think about it this way, the water here in Tokyo is indeed too deep, not to mention you as an outsider, even if I have lived here for almost ten years, I still have to be cautious and cautious every day, but why did you choose Okinawa?" ”

Downing corrected with a smile: "I chose Ryukyu, not Okinawa." ”

Aoyama was slightly stunned, and said insincerely: "Now there is only Okinawa, but there is no Ryukyu." ”

Downing continued to emphasize: "But what I want is Ryukyu, and I haven't taken Okinawa yet. ”

Aoyama subconsciously waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not discuss this for now, I want to hear why you chose Ryukyu?" ”

Downing explained, "First, the location of the Ryukyus is very good, and it has the excellent port of Naha, so it is easily accessible. Second, there are no Japanese chaebols and politicians in the Ryukyus, and there are no new religions in a mess, unlike Tokyo. Finally, and most importantly, the people here in the Ryukyus have a better base. ”

Qingshan frowned: "What does the popular base mean?" ”

Tang Ning can understand Aoyama's caution, he will not let down his guard easily for an American like himself, commercial cooperation is commercial cooperation, but when it comes to the fate of the Ryukyu nation, this is another matter, so he must amplify the killing weapon at this time, so Tang Ning explained lightly: "The current policy of the Allies is to sanction Japan, prevent the resurgence of Japanese militarism and fascist forces, and maintain world peace." Although the Japanese government is now very cooperative with the Allied Command, for the sake of the long run, the Allied forces must deploy troops in Japan's military strongholds, and at the same time, they must also support some anti-Japanese forces as a warning to the Japanese government, but this policy is still highly secret, and I hope you can keep it a secret. ”

Qingshan couldn't hold back his calm expression when he heard Tang Ning's last two words, and asked, "Tony, is what you said true?" Does the United States really intend to prop up anti-Japanese forces? Why haven't you heard of it before? ”

Tang Ning deliberately squeezed him, and after taking a sip of tea, he said: "Of course it's true, because for the Allies, in order to prevent the resurgence of Japanese fascist forces, it is necessary to maintain a certain deterrent effect on Japan, stationing troops is on the one hand, if there are suitable pro-American and anti-Japanese forces, you can also consider supporting, but this kind of policy cannot be made public casually, otherwise it is easy to cause a backlash from the Japanese government, and this kind of force is not easy to find, at least until now, no suitable one has been found, Therefore, it is even more natural that it cannot be disclosed casually. ”

Aoyama endured the turbulent waves in his heart and asked urgently, "Then do you think Ryukyu meets the standards?" Is it possible for the United States to support Ryukyu independence? ”

Tang Ning looked at Junichi Aoyama's anxious appearance and felt a little funny, this old fox finally couldn't hold it anymore, but it was inconvenient to tease him at this time, so he said with a straight face: "Of course it meets the standard, otherwise why would I set up my base camp in Ryukyu." As for the independence of the Ryukyus, this matter is too big, not to mention that I am a small captain, it is estimated that even General MacArthur does not have this right, so he can only find an opportunity to apply, but I guess there is still room for maneuver. ”

Although Tang Ning's words were very vague, Junichi Aoyama was still overjoyed, because for a Ryukyu family like him, it was his greatest lifelong wish to save the Ryukyus, and now he was overjoyed to hear that there was a chance to make the Ryukyus independent and get rid of Japanese rule, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he was willing to give everything for it.

Therefore, he said excitedly: "Tony, don't worry, I will bite this secret and not talk nonsense to the outside." But this matter is so important to our Aoyama family and to the entire Ryukyus, and I would like to solemnly request you on behalf of the entire Aoyama family, and if you have the opportunity, please remind us that no matter how much money is spent or how many people are paid, as long as we can be independent, we in Ryukyu will not hesitate! ”

Tang Ning hurriedly reassured: "Don't get excited, don't worry, I am also the son-in-law of the Ryukyus now, how can I not care about this matter." However, according to my estimates, within three years, there will be a major event that can affect the entire international situation, and at that time, it will be the best opportunity to fight for the independence of the Ryukyus. Before we can do so, we must do something to prove the significance of Ryukyu's independence and to grow our strength. ”

Aoyama rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I was a little excited just now, it's really because this matter has always been a heavy stone in the hearts of our Ryukyuan people, I thought there was no hope in this life, so I left Ryukyu and came to Tokyo, in order to do a good job in the trading company, make a little more money, and leave a way back for the Ryukyuan people, but I didn't expect to hear such good news today, and I couldn't control my emotions for a while." By the way, Tony, do you have any plans and arrangements for relocating to the Ryukyus? Even though I was told that I might not be able to do it elsewhere, in the Ryukyus, our Aoyama family is still very famous. ”

Tang Ning poured a cup of tea for Qingshan and reassured: "Don't worry, my development in the Ryukyus is actually a matter that is beneficial to both parties." For me, having a stable rear and being able to focus more on developing my career; For the people of the Ryukyus, working in my factory can at least ensure basic quality of life and personal safety. I have also heard about some illegal incidents of the U.S. military in Okinawa, but I believe that with my identity and good communication with the Okinawan officers, no one will dare to come to my factory to cause trouble, which can be regarded as a good thing for the people of the Ryukyus. ”

Aoyama nodded approvingly, but he couldn't connect, because many of the U.S. troops in Okinawa are from the Philippines, these guys are not strong in combat, but they are good at making trouble, and the whole Okinawa is a miasma, but the Japanese government in order to appease the U.S. military, and still does not allow the Okinawans to resist and arrest the U.S. military who broke the law, so the people of the Ryukyus are living in dire straits, extremely difficult, if Tang Ning can solve this problem and give the Ryukyus people a stable living environment, it is indeed a great thing!

Tang Ning saw Qingshan nodding, and knew that he had understood what he meant, so he continued: "Another point is that only if I develop a huge industrial park in the Ryukyus and show a certain degree of industrial control, then the possibility of applying for Ryukyu independence in the future will be greater!" ”

For this theory, Junichi Aoyama was puzzled!
