Chapter 90: Plotting to control the concession

The three of them drank coffee or black tea, paused for a moment to gather their thoughts.

At this time, Li Junhao checked it, and the detection function showed that Ayers's light point was dark green, which was nothing, it had always been so; And Sheen's point of light turned pale green at some point, you know, a month ago, when he first arrived, Sheehan was welcome on the surface, but in fact he was a little hostile. Does that count as turning enemies into friends?

-----------------

Although Ayers is calm on the surface, he is very happy in his heart, and the performance of his old friends and descendants is getting better and better, which is enough to make them old guys happy.

For example, today's incident, the little guy seems to be impulsive and seemingly reckless, but after careful analysis, he knows that he has actually been on the side of reason - killing those killers is the right thing to do, showing his personal force; The beating of the Japanese deputy director was because he insulted American diplomats, and the wounding of six Japanese arrestees was because he threatened with guns, which was justified and well-founded, and made the Japanese suffer a big loss but had nothing to do, and they had to bow their heads and admit their mistakes, which showed excellent logical thinking and excellent judgment ability!

-----------------

Sheehan did change his initial opinion of Li Junhao, although he approved Pan Sen's employment application, but he actually understood what Ailes meant, thinking that he was a gentleman who went through the back door, which made him dislike, and he was forced to sign and agree to admit him, which made him feel a little hostile in his heart.

Seeing the performance of the other party during this time, he found that Pan Sen, a young man, was actually very good, not only able to complete the tasks he took over, but also never made trouble for his superiors, which made his attitude begin to change, after all, who doesn't like capable subordinates!

What's more, what happened in the past few days, Pan Sen took the initiative to take the role of charging into battle, and forcibly attacked the Japanese forces in the Ministry of Industry and the Police Department of the Concession, completely breaking the previous balance, and secretly agreeing with his idea of interfering in the control of the concession, which really surprised him!

-----------------

A few minutes later, the secretary came back and reported that Corporal Yuri, who was being treated at Renji Hospital, had a successful operation, removed the bullet from his body, immobilized the fracture, and was not life-threatening, and would recover after a week of recuperation.

This is good news and puts everyone at ease. Next, the conversation continued.

Ailes said first: "Sheehan, you went to the scene today to deal with it, tell me what the result is?" ”

"Yes, sir." Sheehan recounted the last agreement he had reached with Eiichi Iwai.

"Time of day?" Ailes muttered, "Sheehan, do you think the Japanese will agree to quit the Ministry of Industry and the Police Department?" ”

"This is basically impossible, with the character of the Japanese, they will not be willing to give up their interests in the concession." Sheehan shook his head.

"Little Ogur, what do you mean?" Ayers asked.

Li Junhao said: "I agree with Mr. Sheehan's opinion, the Japanese will not take the initiative to give up!" However, we can force them to give up. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Sheehan said intriguingly.

"Two gentlemen, I think before we talk about methods, we must first set a goal, that is, what is the end of what we want to achieve?" Li Junhao asked rhetorically.

Sheehan thought for a moment and said, "I think the short-term goal is to have people in our consulate general in the Ministry of Industry Bureau, and the long-term goal is to make the Ministry of Industry and Bureau respect our opinions and protect our American interests." ”

Ailes nodded in agreement, and then said, "Little Auger, what do you think?" ”

Li Junhao said: "Mr. Sheehan's opinion is very good, but I think it can be further improved!" For example, in this incident, we have to insist on dealing with the Japanese deputy commissioner who insulted me and kick him out of the police department, which is the first step;

"If you can, send someone to occupy this vacated position of deputy director, which is the second step;

"In the third step, we need to support Deputy Director Webb to gain more power, of course, if he obeys the command of our Consulate General and has sufficient personal ability! And this case detection is an opportunity to show his ability, it depends on whether he can seize the opportunity;

"The fourth step is to promote the re-election of the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry, kick out the Japanese directors, and increase the proportion of our American directors to at least reach the same number as the British directors! Moreover, at least get the position of vice president;

"The fifth step is to take full control of the Ministry of Industry and the Police Department, so that the concession can operate according to the will of our country and the United States......"

Hearing his words, Ayers and Sheehan were very moved, but ...... Is this possible?

Sheehan spoke: "Panson, you seem to have overlooked an important issue, and that is the attitude of the British side!" ”

"Mr. Sheehan, I didn't ignore the British, but ......," Li Junhao smiled, "I didn't take them into account at all!" ”

Well? Both of them were stunned, and then, Ailes said with some displeasure: "Little Auger, what you said is too arrogant, as a diplomat, you can't be so unscrupulous!" ”

Sheen also said: "Yes, Pan Sen, Britain's strength has indeed decreased a lot now, but after all, it is still a huge empire and the leader of European countries, and it is impossible for us to ignore their existence!" ”

"That's true, but in reality, the world situation has changed dramatically." Li Junhao said with some seriousness: "Mr. Ayers, Mr. Sheehan, you are all my elders, a generation that has come under the glory of the so-called British Empire, and as a young American, I don't say politely: Your concept is too conservative when it comes to dealing with Britain!" Oh, and I beg your pardon if my words offend the two gentlemen. ”

"You kid, don't talk nonsense!" Ayers straightened his face and said, "You tell me clearly, why are we too conservative?" If it doesn't make sense, I'll drive you back home!" ”

Sheen was originally a little uncomfortable, but when he heard Ayers's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, what kind of relationship is this? Old man, is this a criticism? It's basically protecting and supporting Pan Sen!

"Don't be angry, sir, I say I'll say!" Li Junhao raised his hand to surrender, "In World War I, Britain was actually scared by Germany, and the cruelty of modern warfare made these 'gentlemen' unacceptable, and they couldn't bear the huge casualties and economic losses, so they were afraid of war and death......

It was for this reason that Arthur Neville Chamberlain was able to sit in the position of prime minister because of his insistence on appeasement, and Britain under his leadership was effectively abolished, and the rise of Germany could not be suppressed at all. Great empire? European leader? It's not, it's just the end of the sunset! ”
