ACT270: Welcome to Japan
Before the expert group set off, Meng Zong personally came to see everyone off. Although the people and some politicians strongly opposed this exchange activity, Meng Zong still resisted the pressure from all walks of life and decided the matter.
Many people think that this kind of behavior is insulting to the national dignity, and they are about to throw the face of this thousand-year-old empire into, but there are also some people who can see from the current country's efforts to build infrastructure in Jupiter that the high-level is ready to take the route of "lying on the salary and tasting guts", so they choose to support Mengzong, after all, Her Majesty the Empress is really super cute!
I really answered that sentence...... Cuteness is justice!
"Thank you for responding to the call of the country and participating in this academic exchange activity between Tang and Japan. I know that many of you here don't like Japan, the country that has just offended us, but science knows no borders! The progress and development of society is inseparable from the support of science and technology, if we Datang still want to continue to stand in the forest of the world, we must not rest on our laurels and be blindly arrogant! So I hope that you will take this event seriously and benefit you personally and this country. I would like to say this in advance...... Good work, everyone! ”
With Mengzong's heart-warming speech, a group of old experts finally straightened their mentality and were no longer as resistant as before. Before boarding the ship, Meng Zong personally shook hands with every expert, and many people were in tears, and I don't know if it was because he was excited to shake hands with the emperor, or because he touched LOLI!?
Escorted by two heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, and four destroyers of the Central Fleet, the visiting mission set off from Chang'an to Japan at Ganymede. The fleet did not have to cross the Star Gate, and arrived in the second new Tokyo city of Japan early the next morning.
Although the Japanese high-level officials attached great importance to the visit of the Datang expert group, they asked all walks of life to be ready for the warmest welcome. However, the land and sea factions of the military have carried out separate operations, and even have very obvious opposing postures.
Relying on the fact that it had its own ship, the navy prepared a grand welcoming ceremony outside the atmosphere early. The welcome procession was placed from low earth orbit all the way to the ground port, which was very grand! Because the army turtles can't fly, they can only put up pomp on the ground, but the banners prepared are super large, and even several "Chinese banners" have been prepared with ingenuity.
However, when the expert group disembarked, many people couldn't help but burst out laughing when they saw those banners.
"Poof~! Welcome Datang experts to Japan...... Write slogans, buddy, you are self-taught Chinese, right? ”
As soon as they saw the largest and most conspicuous banner in the welcome queue, Zhao Jian and many people subconsciously thought that the devil had prepared some "special services" for them, and then they reacted, this was thinking too much.
After they all disembarked, Zhao Jian found some of the high-ranking Japanese officials who had come to greet them. Not only Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe and Minister of Land and Sea, but even Emperor Hirohito of Showa were present in person. The other party's face was filled with a warm smile as bright as the sun, not at all like the rumored second-year boy with a perverse personality.
But Zhao Jian, who was mixed with the experts, observed the other party for a while, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the other party had a strange sense of disobedience, but where the specific disobedience was, he couldn't say it for a while.
"This Hirohito...... Why does it feel strange to me? ”
Obviously, Hirohito's personal presence gave a good impression to a group of Datang experts.
The other party spoke quite eloquent Chinese, greeted him cordially, and shook hands with many experts. But when he saw Zhao Jian in the crowd. There was a noticeable flute. On the one hand, it was because the young Zhao Jian was very eye-catching among this group of old men, and on the other hand, it was because he felt as if he had seen each other somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Ah......h Sir, where have we met before? ”
"Your Excellency the Emperor (Lao Tzu will not call you Majesty) You forgot. You have been to the humble house in Qingdao. ”
"Qingdao? Qingdao ...... Oh, you're a friend of Miss Masako, I remembered! ”
There was no hostility towards his unmarried imperial concubine because he had lived in the home of Zhao Jian, a man, and Hirohito shook hands with Zhao Jian very cordially. I also thanked him for taking care of Masako when she was studying abroad. When the other party was saying this, Zhao Jian deliberately spied on Hirohito's brainwaves, and what made him feel interesting was ...... The other party turned out to be sincere!
“…… (Who is this guy generous?) Or is it a good mouthful? )”
In a trance. Zhao Jian seemed to hear the battle song of Thunder Cliff, and then with a strange question, he and a group of experts stayed in the Imperial Hotel arranged by the Japanese side. Also living here are experts and professors from all over Japan in many fields. Zhao Jian even met the Japanese Navy's "God of Shipbuilding" and Technical Vice Admiral Hiraga Jean when he went to the toilet!
However, this arrogant old devil simply ignored the young Zhao Jian as if he were air.
"Didn't you design Yamato! What to drag? ”
Glancing at the back of Hiraga Rang with contempt, Zhao Jianxin said that when his erosion torpedoes can be mass-produced, he can teach those Japanese battleships who are as arrogant as him with a group of "elementary school students" without the help of the aircraft carrier group of the US imperialists!
Because of the other party's attitude, Zhao Jian had no interest in catching up and talking, and he didn't even have the intention of going in the same direction as the other party. Zhao Jian walked directly to the other side, intending to walk around the Imperial Hotel.
As he passed a corner, Zhao Jian noticed that someone was walking briskly from the other side. So he stopped where he was, intending to wait for the other party to pass first so as not to bump into him. But when the other party came out from the other side of the corner, Zhao Jian was stunned when he saw the other party's side face, and then subconsciously called the person's name.
"Masako!"
"Huh? Zhao Jun! ”
didn't expect an unexpected reunion in this situation at all, Zhao Jian and Masako Yamamoto were all stunned on the spot after seeing each other. It's only been a year since the last parting between the two, and although both sides recognize their old classmates at the first sight of each other, to be honest, they have actually changed quite a lot!
Compared with a year ago, Zhao Jian's height is 8 centimeters taller than a child, and his height of 1.85 meters is less than 1.5 meters on average in Japan, which really responds to the four words "standing out from the crowd"! Coupled with his little white face that can be mixed with rice, and his calm temperament that is more mature than his peers, it has made many female waiters in the hotel crazy about him.
And Masako Yamamoto's changes are similar to his, he has grown taller and his body is fuller! Compared with the past, there is less immature youth, more natural feminine charm, and at the same time, the temperament is still so heroic.
It is worth mentioning that the other party was wearing a white uniform of the Japanese Navy at this time, and he was already a lieutenant when he saw the collar badge!
The two first subconsciously wanted to hug each other, but then realized that men and women could not kiss, so they shook hands instead. At this time, a very strange thought suddenly popped up in Zhao Jian's mind...... Finished! I forgot to wash my hands after going to the toilet just now, will this hurt Masako to get pregnant?
"I haven't seen you for a year, you've changed a lot."
"Zhao Jun, you are the same, I remember that you didn't go to Dalian Naval Academy to study?"
"I also remember that you should have gone to Etajima."
"It's true that I went to Etajima for a while, but then my father asked me to learn ship design from Vice Admiral Hiraga again, so I ...... I've changed careers now, and I may not be able to be a captain in the future. ”
"Isn't that good? Your father thinks about you! ”
"Forget it, don't talk about it! Zhao Jian: Why did you come to Japan? And it's here? I remember ......"
"I'm here with the expert group, and maybe I'll be one of your IJN friends next."
"Nani?"
Hearing Zhao Jian's words, Masako suddenly showed a look of astonishment. She knew very well who Tang Fang came to this exchange meeting, and her teacher Hiraga specially brought her over to see the world because he admired Masako's talent in the field of ship design. But Masako didn't expect to meet his old classmate Zhao Jian at the Imperial Hotel, which specializes in receiving foreign guests, and he didn't expect that the other party would be one of Tang Fang's experts.
"Zhao Jun, you're not joking with me, are you?"
"I do joke a lot, but not all the time."
"You...... You're always so surprised. ”
The joy of reuniting with old friends, coupled with some indescribable and inexplicable feelings between men and women, Masako looked very excited after seeing Zhao Jian. She doesn't smile on weekdays, but now she is like an ordinary girl, chatting with Zhao Jian while walking. She asked Zhao Jian a lot about the "Three Friends" and Hongling, and after learning that these classmates are doing well now and have made great achievements, Masako smiled even more.
Unconsciously, the two walked around the circular corridor and came to a crowded restaurant, where many experts from Tang and Japan were already conducting academic exchanges. Before the two sides met, although they each had some mustards, they were both top talents in the same field after all, and after a casual chat, they found that they had a lot of common language, and then they entered a rhythm that could not be stopped.
When Zhao Jian and Masako came in, most of the nearly 100 people present didn't notice them at all because they were chatting too seriously, and that kind of high-end atmosphere also made it difficult for the two young people to interject. So they lingered for a moment and then walked towards the table, but as soon as the two of them arrived, they came face to face with a slender back figure who happened to turn around, and all three of them were stunned.
After seeing the other party, Masako blurted out with a somewhat stunned expression.
"Heaven, Emperor Xià!" (To be continued......)
PS: Real man, just face to face Minotaur! (Dirt)
I went out to run errands in the afternoon, and it turned out that the promised 8,000 was barely enough for 6,000...... Try it again tomorrow!
