The rain didn't take long to stop, the clouds cleared, and the sky cleared.

Throughout the afternoon, Zhu Lingjing only dealt with a small amount of political affairs, and spent most of her time thinking about and imagining what the situation would be like for the imperial meeting the next day.

As the time came to five o'clock, Zhou Changfeng, who had finally completed the military affairs of the day, hurriedly left the Forbidden City.

Today, Luo Fu said that he wanted to accompany his wife on a trip to relax for a day, so he asked someone Zhou to substitute for him for a day.

How troublesome it is for one person to do the work of two people, Zhou Changfeng, who is busy from morning to night, complains bitterly, it is hard to imagine how Luo Fu was completed with quality and quantity when he was not there before, workaholic is not ordinary.

And coincidentally, this morning Zhou answered a phone call before leaving home, saying that all the smuggled cars had been sold, and I hope he can come to enjoy his face tonight and spend a good night together... Oh no, the shared dinner.

Although he was reluctant at the time, considering that the establishment of the company should not be delayed, he still agreed, and then he was busy all day with 200% energy.

"Boss, don't you need us to follow?"

"No, you just wait, it's not a big deal."

This restaurant is neither high nor low, and from the outside, it is unremarkable and uniconic, and it is a place that people will selectively ignore.

As far as business operation is concerned, this is very disadvantageous, because the "exposure" is low, and I don't know what the owner of this store thinks.

In the northernmost private room on the third floor, Yao Sheng, who was dressed in light green clothes, was sitting thinking about the source of goods, and suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open.

She hurriedly stood up and walked towards the circumference of the wind who pushed the door in.

"General Zhou is really punctual, this dish hasn't been served yet, I'll urge it, you sit down first."

"Talk about things, what are you thinking about eating?"

Zhou Changfeng walked to the seat as he spoke, and Yao Sheng directly reached out to help him pull the chair out.

"You are really the God of Wealth, although the estimated value of those cars is 160,000, they are in good condition, and they were sold for nearly 180,000 in the end."

Forty-six points, although Yao Sheng and others only take a small head, but their costs are pitiful, only some labor costs and ship freight.

More than 60,000 yuan was easy to get, and this was just a business, and at the same time, they also received several batches of goods from other people, so the gross profit during this period was more than 100,000.

Yao Sheng took out her small bag and took out a delicate but heavy-looking silk pouch from it.

"Click-"

A few small gold bars fell from them, shining golden in the light.

"These are just a small part, a total of forty-three pounds, the little woman can't carry it."

Zhou Changfeng was thundered, and said speechlessly: "What are you doing with gold?" At that time, he said that he would use the money to run an American company. ”

"You misunderstood, the money was used as you told me." Yaosheng covered her mouth and chuckled, stretched out her index finger and gestured, "These, it's because they were sold for almost 20,000 yuan, so the extra 10,000 yuan will be exchanged for gold." ”

She pointed to the suitcase on the ground next to her, which contained large gold bars worth more than 12,000 yuan, neatly stacked.

At this time, the food was finally served, and the two clerks knocked lightly on the door, and then walked in with a plate and put a few plates of meat and vegetarian dishes on the table.

Zhou Changfeng had no interest in the money, he stared at the woman opposite, and asked bluntly: "How is the company's preparation?" ”

"The company in Xinmo Province has been registered, and Tian Province is still waiting for the approval of the local government, which is done according to your requirements, please take a look." Yaosheng took out a notebook and handed it over.

What is somewhat funny is that although Zhou has seriously thought about the role of these two companies, he has not thought about their names.

When Yaosheng and his gang came to inquire about the request, he had an idea and misappropriated the names of two well-known virtual giants in later film and television dramas.

The New Mexico-based company is called "Umbrella Materials" – Ambrera Materials.

The company based in Tennessee is called "Tricell Mining".

[Picture]

Both companies are nominally engaged in mining and mining, and the registered capital is not very high, and the identity information of the company's managers and employees belongs to some reliable Europeans and Chinese Chinese nationals.

Zhou Changfeng let out a "hmm", flipped through the notebook, and said with satisfaction: "It looks good." ”

"You can send someone over at any time, I don't know how you plan to start work? There don't seem to be any new mines in the area, right? Yao Sheng asked cautiously tentatively.

"That's not what you should ask." Zhou Changfeng glanced at her, "Curiosity is easy to kill people, understand?" ”

The latter hurriedly bowed his head, lowered his head and said softly: "I'm sorry, I'm presumptuous, I naturally know this truth." ”

Unlike the low-key appearance of the restaurant, this meal is excellent, and its dishes are full of color, aroma and deliciousness.

And Yao Sheng, this woman is very good at talking, and she speaks one sentence after another without repetition.

Last time, I only collected 40 cars and made a considerable amount of money, I dare not imagine how much profit margin there will be in the future, Zhou Changfeng estimates that it will be easy to collect hundreds of cars from Australia in the future.

When you take Melbourne, Sydney and other big cities, you can confiscate hundreds or thousands of vehicles for any reason.

Zhou Changfeng found with some sadness that if he wanted to get along in Daming, he would have to conform to the crowd more or less, mingle with the powerful, and accept favors and filial piety from all parties......

With the rise of status and authority, it is no longer possible to be as willful as before.

Although it can only be regarded as a small fight at present, I really don't know how it will develop after opening a hole and making an exception, and whether I can recognize myself now after many years?

For safety reasons, Zhou Changfeng asked Shen Yu about the smuggling gang the next morning.

The latter did not reply on the spot, but searched for a long time before finding them from a pile of classified files.

"You've all recorded this? You don't plan to move them at the moment? ”

"What do you say, this... It's almost fattening, but the business they engage in doesn't do much damage, so let's indulge it for a while. ”

"Oh."

"Brother Zhou, why did you get involved with these people?" Shen Yu asked with a smile: "This is stained with red dust and began to ponder and accumulate wealth?" ”

"Whatever you want." Circumference shrugged.

Shen Yu smiled and said casually: "This kind of money-collecting method is too watery, if you really want to make money, just sit at home and wait to collect the money." ”

He knows very well how many people are staring at a close minister like Zhou, talking about money... It's just too low-level.

Zhou Changfeng nodded slightly, and muttered, "There is nothing unusual about this group of people, right?" Just engaging in car smuggling? ”

"Yes, it's relatively clean, the last file update was at the beginning of the year, and there was no abnormality."

"Okay, that's fine."

While the security services are often kept a low profile, credit is often forgotten for this.

Relying on a large number of agents and the informants and undercover agents they developed, the Foreign Investigation Factory was able to maintain the stability and harmony of the country with quite good efficiency.

Shen Yu often uses this to be self-conscious, but Zhou Changfeng often teases him with the examples of "Shuling" and "Chai Guoyi".

Every time he came here, Shen Yu, who was speechless, would stare at Zhou with a look of "Are you deliberately finding fault".

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Yu said with a serious face: "Brother Zhou, I know that you have your own intentions, and if you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask questions." But as a reminder, keep your senses. ”

If you want to make money in private, you must have something else to do, there are ulterior secrets, if it is someone else, then Shen Yu must be vigilant.

But the problem is precisely that Zhou is a guy who has no possibility of treason! So what exactly does he want to do?

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Zhou Changfeng met his gaze and said seriously: "That German military attache claimed that the United States had plans to research a doomsday weapon, and put it in those desolate provinces for the sake of secrecy. ”

Sorry little sister Chrissy, help me carry the pot. I'm sure you won't mind, after all, it's about fighting imperialism.

"The woman? How can there be any benefit in this world for no reason? What's more, if it is a military attache of another country, this kind of thing will be told directly to the imperial court. Shen Yu said in surprise.

Zhou Changfeng waved his hand, "This thing is a bit abnormal, and it feels a bit fantastical, I am clear about the efficiency of the imperial court, so I only believe in myself in this matter." ”

"Heh, all of your actions are based on the words of that spy! Brother Zhou, what kind of ecstasy soup did she pour you? ”

"Don't get excited, I haven't seen any big winds and waves? I believe she has a point, but not because of any superficial or naïve reason. ”

Shen Yu, who was suspicious, looked Zhou Changfeng up and down, and sighed: "That's it, I believe you." ”

This matter passed like this, and Shen Yu chose to believe in his own vision - he firmly believed that what Zhou did made sense.

After confirming that Yao Sheng and the others were not abnormal, Zhou Changfeng immediately took his leave and hurried to the Forbidden City to prepare for the imperial meeting to be held in the afternoon.

Since this imperial meeting was purely to agree on the grand strategy for the future, in addition to him, several ministers and edicts were also present.

Compared with the more casual outfits on weekdays, today's Zhu Lingjing is much more formal.

After she got into the shuttle bus, the attendants also got into the back several shuttle buses one after another, and shuttled through the Forbidden City without being fast or slow.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers have arrived, and the ranks of the Advisory Council have just entered."

The meeting place is still set up in the Wenhua Palace, which has been under martial law by Jinyiwei with three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry, and everyone is meticulously performing their respective duties.

In order to take care of the middle-aged and elderly bigwigs, the air conditioning temperature in the conference hall was set at 27°C, which was only a little cool, but it was still in stark contrast to the unbearable heat of the outside world.

"See Your Majesty!" All the people present made a gesture in unison.

"Sit down, don't procrastinate, just discuss the matter."

After a short cacophony of commotion, the hall fell silent, except for the sound of rummaging through files and memoranda.

Gao Qingkui, as the head of the imperial court, was the first to open the prelude to the discussion, "The last imperial meeting failed to reach a consensus, and now some time has passed, the situation has changed greatly, and it is time to decide." ”

Song Zhongkai, Governor of the Navy Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, said: "Here, Ben Bo first hopes to make one thing clear - we will definitely send troops to Australia, and we are only talking about sooner or later. ”

Xia Jinbo Song Zhongkai is the commander of the Ming Navy, and his questions can be said to be very straightforward and crisp, full of aggressive arrogance.

The cabinet immediately expressed dissatisfaction, and Lin Xi, who was the minister of national defense, responded very decisively: "Xia Jinbo is too determined, if it will do more harm than good sooner or later, then he will naturally not send troops." ”

"Full of nonsense!" Song Zhongkai didn't want to save face for the cabinet, "Even if you don't think about anything else, Australia's mineral deposits are worth fighting for, and no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the disadvantages outweigh the benefits." ”

Yu Shenhua said lightly: "In foreign affairs, the early war is quite likely to cause the Americans to devote their energy to the Pacific Ocean, which is undoubtedly unfavorable, unless Xia Jinbo thinks that the Ming Navy can completely annihilate the US Pacific Fleet at a very small cost." ”

Zhou Changfeng, who was standing in front of the emperor's left, watched the dispute between the two sides.

Aren't these people really uncomfortable not quarrelling? Before Zhu Lingjing came, she said that there was a good show to watch today, and sure enough, it was true.

After arguing like this for a while, Chen Jieli, president of the Advisory Yuan, had to come forward to play a round - you guys stop it, is it really the air to be the emperor?

Zhou Changfeng almost didn't laugh when he heard him play a round, it was really a strange thing, the president of the Advisory Yuan spoke for the emperor.

In fact, the ministers did not object to sending troops to Australia, and this imperial meeting was indeed as Song Zhongkai said, and it was necessary to discuss sooner or later, but they just wanted to refute this domineering guy in front of the emperor.

After both sides calmed down, Lin Xi clarified his views on behalf of the cabinet.

"The better strategy is still to strike at the back, in this game, the latter can have the advantage of flexible decision-making, and the cabinet believes that they should wait for the United States to engage in Europe, after which it will be difficult for them to stop, and they will face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts."

"Is this your reasoning?" If the war starts early, the United States will no longer care about Europe, but will concentrate on dealing with the Ming Dynasty', this public feeling is not necessarily. Wu Weihuan spoke.

Li Guangyuan stroked his beard and smiled: "Why did Wei Guogong say this? We'd love to hear about it. ”

The bright-eyed Wu Weihuan glanced at the people present, "Although there is evidence that the upper echelons of the United States are not optimistic about Britain that is resisting alone, they also regret that they cannot use this to get their hands on Europe. Have you ever wondered what it would mean if Britain proved that it could hold on? ”

That... The old man of the glorious British Empire can continue to beg his grandfather to beg the Yankee like a grandmother, sending troops to garrison and provide supplies.

Once the US side assesses that there is hope for influencing and influencing Britain at the root, it will definitely try to do so.

"Wei Guogong, this inference can't be said to be wrong, but no one can predict it." Yu Shenhua, who has never been smiling, said with a wry smile this time: "Now that the German submarines are powerful, and the British are trapped on an isolated island, they may give in to peace if they hold on for a few days and see no hope." ”

"Britain is asking the United States for a batch of destroyers, and the mainland is also making every effort to build escort ships, and it only takes two more months to hold out and the situation will be stabilized." Song Zhongkai said lightly: "This is not a mouthful, if you don't believe it, Ben Bo...... Dare to issue a military order. ”

Zhou Changfeng couldn't help but widen his eyes, and glanced at Luo Fu, who was also surprised beside him.

Grass! Military writ? Isn't this nonsense?

Xia Jinbo, you have said that you are dead, how can you get off the stage.
