ACT088: Masako Yamamoto
Coming home from school is always the happiest time for children who go to school.
Middle school is not as good as primary school, and teenage children generally don't need their parents to pick them up, but some families with money will still send a car over. At this time, the entrance of the National High School will be full of various cars, including Zhao Jian's unusually eye-catching Rolls-Royce "Silver Ghost".
This sedan was the first product to be introduced by Rolls-Royce in 1906, and the British car manufacturing company has always been known for "hand-crafting the best luxury cars". Zhao Jian spent a lot of money half a year ago to buy this "Silver Spirit", and since then he has been using it as a car in Qingdao, driving out of the road feels like a face!
After saying goodbye to Sanjiyou, who wanted to stay in school and play football for a while, Zhao Jian took Hongling's little hand and walked towards the school gate, and not far from their left, the expressionless Yamamoto Masako was also walking alone.
As soon as Zhao Jian and Hongling got out of the school gate, they got into their car and prepared to go home, but at this time, Zhao Jian noticed that Yamamoto Masako also got into another car next to them, and this car seemed to be seen somewhere. So Zhao Jian asked the driver not to drive first, and waited for the other party's car to go first, so that he could see the other party's license plate.
"It turned out to be a car from the Japanese Embassy? It's getting more and more interesting. β
With a thoughtful smile, Zhao Jian returned home, and as soon as he entered the living room, he saw Boss Dai, who he hadn't seen for many days, sitting there. During the Ethiopian incident a year ago, the other party disappeared for a full 8 months in order to cover Zhao Jian's side. And in the past 8 months, Zhao Jian has been helping to support those exiles.
In fact, Zhao Jian himself has not lost money in the past 8 months, he has used this time to successfully gain the complete trust of the other party, and even the large amount of Ethiopian recovery fund, some of which have been handed over to Zhao Jian to take care of.
Since Zhao Jian proposed to the crown prince Asfa and the Duke of Mulujita to form a "Restoration Army", the two have been very concerned about this matter. Of the liaison officers they sent out, only two absconded with money, and the rest were dutifully recruiting people from all over the world, and soon gathered the first batch of 2,000 people.
These people come from 12 different countries, and the mixed nationality effectively confuses the public. Zhao sent a ship to take all of them to Jupiter and hand them over to the Eighteenth Army for training. Three months later, the second batch of 2,000 people was successfully recruited, so that the Restoration Army had 4,500 available soldiers.
Later, when the domestic situation improved, Zhao Jian also deliberately took Asfa and Mulujita to inspect this unit with the permission of Dai Li. When Prince Asfa saw this solemn army, he finally fully believed that Datang was "sincere" to help his country, and Zhao Jian was the representative they sent!
To this day, Asfa and Mulujita live in their villas on the outskirts of Qingdao, where their government-in-exile operates. In this matter, the conservative faction in the country seems to have made concessions to the emperor, and although the current saint has not officially received Asfa, he has sent someone to send him a secret edict. While expressing condolences for Ethiopia's plight, it also said that Datang would publicly support them "in due course".
The benefit of Zhao Jian in this matter is a large number of arms orders, and he is now the only designated supplier to the Ethiopian guerrillas and the Restoration Army, although the price is fair, but not a single bullet is free.
"I haven't seen you in a while, how are you doing? Boss Dai. β
"It's okay, it's just that it's not as comfortable as you."
Now, several of Zhao Jian's main henchmen have already known his identity as an "agent", and they also know that Dai Li is his top boss, so when Zhao Jian and Dai Li were talking, Hongling and Qin Heng who were present did not deliberately avoid it.
"Do you know that there is a Japanese female student from your school today?"
"Zhilu Dao! She's in our class right now. β
"Do you know her identity?"
"I'm not sure yet, but I'm guessing she's the daughter of Yamamoto Isoroku, the vice commander of the Japanese Navy, right? Not only because of the surname Yamamoto, but when I came home from school in the afternoon, I also saw a car from the Japanese Embassy in Qingdao pick her up. β
"You're right, she's the daughter of Yamamoto Isoroku."
"Oh~! So what are your instructions? Do you need me to win glory for the country to soak her? β
ββ¦β¦ Xiao Zhao! I have to admit that you are my most effective subordinate at the moment, no less than my right-hand man. But sometimes when your shameless energy comes up, even I, the boss, can't stand it! β
ββ¦β¦β
Being a little embarrassed by Dai Li's complaint, Zhao Jian glanced at Hongling, who was covering his mouth and smiling, scratched his face slightly embarrassed, and then asked.
"Then what do you want me to do when you mention this to me?"
"I'm not here to ask you what to do, but to remind you not to do it."
"I'll it! Just make a special trip for this old man? β
"I'm not that idle, I'm just passing by, so I'm just going to remind you. Masako Yamamoto is not only Yamamoto's own daughter, but also the fiancΓ©e of Emperor Hirohito of Japan. We still don't know why Yamamoto Fifty-six suddenly sent the future imperial concubine of Japan to Datang to go to school, but before we find out, you, as the closest person to the other party, must not act rashly, do you understand? β
"I see, just keep an eye on it!"
"That's right, that's what it means."
"Then what if she takes the initiative to soak me?"
ββ¦β¦βx3
Leaving a sentence of "you look at it yourself", Boss Dai, who is always a busy man, left again, he came to Qingdao this time for something else, and it happened that the intelligence agency reported to him the news that Masako Yamamoto came to study in Tang, so he found Zhao Jian, who happened to be studying in the same school as the other party, and asked him to stare at this girl a little.
At the same time, on the other side, in a richly decorated room in the residential area of the Japanese Embassy in Qingdao, the military attache of the embassy in China, Koichiro Hirai, stood respectfully in front of Masako Yamamoto. The other party was born in a samurai family of the Satsuma Domain, belonged to the Japanese Navy, and admired Yamamoto Isoroku very much. Therefore, even if it is the daughter of the other party, he shows the same respectful attitude as his boss, not to mention that the other party is still the emperor's fiancΓ©e.
"Miss Masako, are you still adapting to the new school on the first day today?"
"It's fine."
"Then what do you want for dinner, I'll call the kitchen to prepare it right away."
"You don't need to prepare it, I'll just eat the embassy's working meal with everyone."
"How's that going to work!? You are the daughter of Shogun Yamamoto, or the ...... of His Majesty the Emperor"
"I really don't have to, Hirai Daisa! I just want to be an ordinary international student now, please don't treat me any special way, I am not used to it and I don't like that. β
"That'...... All right! However, if you have any requests, please be sure to let us know. β
"I know what to do, Hirai Daisa."
After Hirai Daisa left, Masako Yamamoto couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly lay on her back on the soft big bed, staring towards the unfamiliar ceiling in a daze. At present, only a very small number of people know that she escaped from Japan, and although the Japanese imperial family knows about her current movements, in order to avoid Yamamoto Isoroku, who has a high prestige in the navy, from having any trouble with the imperial family because of this incident, they can only reluctantly adopt a tacit attitude towards Masako's study abroad.
Anyway, if you can hide from the first day of junior high school and can't hide from the fifteenth, this person will have to come back sooner or later!
PS: Tomorrow morning, I have a qualification exam on fire monitoring, I have to take the time to memorize the practice questions, more than 4 years after graduating from college, I have regained the feeling of temporary cramming, the breaking of dawn a while ago and now I owe more anxiety, please wish the exam to pass smoothly.
