"Your Excellency, we have entered Xinjing."

Captain Toshio Aoki said, pointing out the window.

Hearing the Japanese call himself a "baron", Wang Weiyi always felt a little awkward, but he said disdainfully: "I heard my father say that this is a very beautiful city. But in my opinion, there is still a big gap between her and London. ”

The Englishman, who was always so arrogant, Aoki Toshio muttered in his heart, but he did not dare to offend the guest of His Excellency the Commander: "Ah, in fact, the history of Xinjing is as old as London, and the Japanese Empire is working with Manchukuo to build her into the largest city in Asia."

"Louis, the air here is really suffocating Mr. Captain, can you make the car go faster? Ah, I don't think I'm going to be able to breathe," "Mrs. Toxon," Elina kept fanning her nose with a handkerchief.

According to the information provided by Xiao Ling, the Toksons are an arrogant, pretentious, nouveau riche couple who want to highlight their aristocratic status everywhere.

This is not easy to act, and it is completely different from the personalities of Wang Weiyi and Elena

The car stopped, and Toshio Aoki got out first, and then opened the door for the baroness. The "Mr. and Mrs. Tokson" stepped out of the car.

"Baron Andrew" Louis wears a high courtesy, a tuxedo, and a delicate cane in his hand. The "Baroness", who wore a long white dress and a soft-brimmed lace hat, held her husband's hand. With a happy face, he revealed a serious dissatisfaction with his surroundings.

"Your Excellency, I've finally waited for you."

When Kenkichi Ueda, commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army and ambassador to Manchukuo, appeared in front of him. Wang Weiyi thought that this pomp and circumstance is not small. In order to welcome the baroness, the Japanese took great pains to welcome them.

It is no wonder that "Baron Andrew" is an archbaron, close to the status of an earl. In England, the baron had a high social status, but the earl was a high-ranking nobleman and had jurisdiction over the barons and knights. He is the "natural leader" of the barons, and has a certain sense of distance from the barons.

The Grand Baron is the highest of all the barons, and the closest to the Earl. Therefore, it has a strong voice among British parliamentarians, especially an aristocrat with a long history like "Baron Andrew", which plays a pivotal role.

If the Japanese side wanted to break the political pressure of Germany and Britain, it would have to use people such as "Baron Andrew".

"Mr. Commander Ueda. Thank you for your welcome. However, your English pronunciation is very non-standard, did you learn it in a small city like Sunderland? Wang Weiyi opened his mouth, which was extremely rude to the master.

I'm still a little worried in my heart, if I annoy Ueda Kenkichi, with myself and Elena, and I don't have a weapon on my body, I can't rush out.

Didn't think of it. Kenkichi Ueda laughed out loud: "Your Excellency, I haven't been to Sunderland. I learned it with my English teacher. It's very non-standard, and it makes you laugh. Let's talk inside. ”

"You should go to London, where you can learn the most authentic pronunciation." "Baron Andrew" is still unrelenting

It seems that in order to welcome the arrival of "Baron Andrew", some of the high-ranking officers in the Kwantung Army arrived, and as soon as they saw His Excellency the Commander coming in with a couple, they all stood up:

"Welcome, Lord Baron!"

"Oh my God, it scared me to death," the "baroness" kept tapping her chest with the fan in her hand

"Honey, soldier, always so rude." Wang Weiyi comforted his "wife" and spoke disrespectfully.

Several officers who understood English were already showing a hint of displeasure

Ueda Kenkichi swept his subordinates sternly with his gaze, and then smiled: "Your Excellency, Madam, please be seated." ”

As soon as he sat down, Ueda Kenkichi said in a somewhat sad tone, "By the way, I feel very sad about the death of the old baron. It's a pity that I'm in Manchuria and can't give the old baron another ride."

"Your Excellency Commander, your mind is that my father will know about it" Wang Weiyi sighed, and then his eyebrows danced: "You learned about Lu Dao, it's okay that my father left too suddenly, I don't have a brother, and there is no problem with inheritance, otherwise, maybe I wouldn't be a baron now."

Kenkichi Ueda smiled, but his heart was full of contempt

What kind of person is this, his father has left, not only is he sad, but he is complacent that he has received the title of baron.

However, such people are also often the easiest to take advantage of

"Your Excellency, some of the things that the British government has done recently have affected the friendship between Japan and Great Britain." After chatting for a while, Kenkichi Ueda quickly changed the subject: "As a lifelong member of the House of Lords, what does Baron Andrew think about this?" ”

"Are you talking about the hellish skeleton baron?" Wang Weiyi pretended to think for a while, and then said in a very disdainful tone: "I've heard of that skeleton baron, a hillbilly canonized by a tasteless German. I just don't understand, why does he get so much attention? Your Excellency the Commander, nobleman, is the most blood-conscious"

He talked about a lot of questions about the noble lineage, and Ueda Kenkichi frowned when he listened.

It was easy to wait for his tirade to finish, and Kenkichi Ueda hurriedly said: "I mean, Baron Andrew has a lot of influence in the House of Lords, and the Ueda family and the Tuksen family also maintain a traditional friendship, I don't want to see this matter affect the friendship between the two families, or even the two countries."

"Aha, Your Excellency, Commander, I see what you mean." Wang Weiyi smiled and said, "Do you want me to lobby?" There is certainly no problem with this. I will let the old men in the House of Lords know that the nobility has traditions. A nobleman like Baron Skeleton can't be compared to a nobleman of pure blood like Baron Andrew."

Kenkichi Ueda was relieved. Although this "Baron Andrew" is arrogant, rude, and annoying, as long as he can complete the tasks assigned to him by the government, then everything is bearable.

It was not just me lobbying, many Japanese were acting and lobbying in their own ways to try to get the British government to change their position, but it was clear that they had already done it first

Kenkichi Ueda, who was in a happy mood, looked at the time: "Ah, Your Excellency, the Emperor of Manchukuo, His Majesty Aixin Jueluo. Pu Yi, I heard that you are coming, and I have specially prepared a welcome ceremony in the palace, and now the time is almost up."

Unexpectedly, Wang Weiyi yawned: "After so many journeys today, my wife and I are already very tired, we need to rest, let's do it tomorrow"

"Come, bring the Baron and the Lady to their chambers." Ueda Kenkichi did not hesitate in the slightest.

The most important thing is to satisfy the baroness, as for the emperor of Manchukuo? Keeping him waiting for a day in vain is actually nothing

"After the inspection, the Japanese installed a bugging device here"

When Xiao Ling's voice came, Wang Weiyi and Elena looked at each other, and then said loudly: "Ah, it is ridiculous that a down-and-out emperor would want to meet a noble nobleman. ”

"Hey, dear, I've heard that the emperors of China are very rich, and they have a lot of treasures."

"Maybe, but what's there?" Wang Weiyi stood at the window, opened the curtain and looked out: "You learned that Lu Dao, the purpose of our coming here is Qianlong Ruby, oh, dear, my father has collected gems all his life, those black ghost chieftains in Africa used to have emeralds, those Grand Dukes in India used to have purple gems, and now, there is one less ruby from the Chinese emperor Since my father heard Uncle Bainak talk about this ruby, my father has never forgotten it"

"Honey, you can ask that Commander's Excellency to do you a favor."

"Ah, no, that's not what a decent gentleman should do." Wang Weiyi raised his voice violently, and then lowered his voice again: "Moreover, if he knows the Tao, he may be greedy, and that is a ruby."

"Ah, dear, you're so smart."

"Honey, it's time for us to rest." Wang Weiyi hugged Elena's waist. Elena's face turned red.

She had long forgotten the romantic night at Château Margaux in France.

"Don't forget, we're a baroness." Wang Weiyi whispered in her ear, and then sighed softly: "We have to make the Japanese think that we have slept."

Now is not the time, but Wang Weiyi is sure that Elena will remember what happened between them

"I came for the rubies."

Ueda Kenkichi was completely relieved: "Find a way to see if Pu Yi has the ruby in his hand, and then give it to the baron." ”

"Your Excellency, you really want to give that arrogant English boy a precious jewel, perhaps very valuable?"

"Captain Aoki, what is a gem compared to the fate of the Empire? I would be worried that he would come to Manchuria with other purposes, but he was just an insatiable man, and such a person would be much easier to deal with. ”

The corners of Ueda's mouth showed a smile of victory: "Of course, I won't let him get it so easily." (To be continued.) )
