My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 139: Race against time
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
The five-story glass-curtain shopping mall in the city center shines brightly under the scorching sun at noon. It is called "Ueto Department Store" and is bustling with customers. It is the epitome of the abnormal prosperity of Oyue Land.
Ueto Department Store, as the name suggests, was acquired by the Ueto consortium after it entered Okuetsu.
As the royal consortium of the Kansai Group, the Ueto Foundation not only provides financial support to the Kansai Group, nor does it help Yamamoto Xiong secretly purchase fighter jets. In fact, many strategic resources are provided by the Ueto Foundation from overseas. Procurement, including oil, iron ore, scrap iron, rubber, tin and other important metals, etc. After all, Japan is still a resource-poor land, so its ambition to embezzle the northern territory of the empire has never dissipated.
The salespersons in Ueto Department Store all wear kimonos. This is consistent with the idea of "respecting kings and saints" proposed by Yamamoto Yu and the Kansai Group to return to the society of sages. In the Kansai region, retro style is also a sign of Japaneseism. As part of patriotic propaganda, radical youths even burned foreign clothing to vent their patriotic sentiments.
In this regard, Lu Ming is happy to see the results. Using extreme nationalist sentiment to maintain upper-level rule will certainly make the regime stable and firmly supported in the short term, but it will also greatly weaken its development potential.
However, making the regime more aggressive is cause for alarm.
Lu Ming and Nakagawa Ken walked around Ueto Shopping Mall. The products inside are all made in Japan. Even if they are imported products, they are indeed made in Japan.
Coming out of the shopping mall, Lu Ming looked at the surrounding buildings thoughtfully.
……
Lu Ming has been to the Aoyue Police Station several times and is already familiar with the traffic.
The person who received Lu Ming was a young police officer named Jiro Kawamoto, whose police title was the police department, similar to the senior inspector in the police system of the Principality of Montenegro.
The Japanese police officers have the titles of patrol, patrol chief, patrol director, police department supplement, police department, police supervisor, police supervisor, police supervisor, etc.
The police department is basically the director of an ordinary sub-division.
Basically, for ordinary police officers without academic qualifications, it is the end of their qualifications to reach the police department.
But those who graduate from the police college take another route. Basically, those who have just graduated are the police department, that is, the deputy police department. After one year of internship, they can be directly promoted to the police department.
However, this is the new police policy implemented during the era of Prime Minister Ashikaga. After Yamamoto came to power, the police bureaucracy has been reorganized, and seniority has gradually become more important.
Jiro Kawamoto is the tail end of the New Deal. I am afraid it will be difficult to appear in the future. If you make it to the police department, you must be at least thirty or forty years old.
Nowadays, Jiro Kawamoto is also standing aside at the police station, and only then is he used to deal with Lu Ming, the so-called representative of the Xianquan Special Zone Police.
It is impossible for the Aoyue Police Department to truly cooperate with the Xianquan police to fight against any terrorist organization.
However, Jiro Kawamoto is obviously very willing to contact police officers from the Montenegrin system, so every time Lu Ming comes, he will show up quickly.
I also asked my uncle, the former commander of the Ogotsu Division, about Shigeyoshi Kawamoto.
"Kawamoto Police Department, I came here this time to pay a visit to your father, Lord Kawamoto, through you." Lu Ming's words were translated through Ken Nakagawa, which made Jiro Kawamoto startled.
Kawamotojiro's Nakasu is not bad at speaking, but in formal occasions, the two parties still communicate through Nakagawa Ken.
Kawamoto Jiro's father, Kawamoto Nobuyasu, was a clan brother of the former lord Kawamoto Daxin, and he was very close, a real cousin.
The Kawamoto Nobuyasu family belongs to the main line of the Kawamoto family. It is one of the largest landowners in Okutsudo. This kind of super landowner will be called a famous owner.
But now, the Kawamoto Nobuyasu family is already on the verge of collapse. How about contacting the Montenegrins again?
Kawamoto Jiro couldn't help but have a look of embarrassment on his face.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Jiro, don't worry, I believe Master Kawamoto will not regret this meeting."
Jiro Kawamoto looked at Lu Ming's meaningful smile and gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements, Mr. Zhang, just tonight, okay? I'm worried that I won't have the courage next time."
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Jiro, you are very decisive and brave. It seems that the Kawamoto family has a successor!"
Kawamoto Jiro forced a smile.
……
When going to Kawamoto's house, Lu Ming did not take Nakagawa Ken with him. Instead, as agreed, Kawamoto Jiro left early, drove to pick up Lu Ming in front of a cafe near the police station, and then went home.
Not to mention Kawamoto Manor, it is a Japanese manor with dense ancient trees and an extremely large area and deep courtyard.
In a Zen-like teahouse, Lu Ming met Nobuyasu Kawamoto, an old man in his early fifties who looked very gloomy.
The wealth of these Japanese big names is naturally dripping with the blood of working people from every pore, and there is not a single kind person among them.
Lu Ming had never thought of becoming friends with them, so he went straight to the point, "Mr. Kawamoto, I am going to acquire all the land in Qianmen Town owned by your family! This is my offer!" After saying that, he handed over a piece of paper that said Numbered slips of paper passed.
Kawamoto Nobuyasu was slightly startled, looked at the note and shook his head, "Officer Zhang, are you kidding me?"
The numbers on the note are less than one percent of the value of the land in Qianmen Town.
Qianmon Town is a large area of land in the center of Okutsu, owned by the Kawamoto Nobuyasu family.
Including Ueto Shopping Mall, the land actually belongs to the Kawamoto Nobuyasu family.
However, Uehu Shopping Mall is now filing a lawsuit in court, requesting a ruling that the mall's land belongs to the mall.
Kawamoto Nobuyasu looked at Lu Ming, "Yes, you understand our situation, but if you want to take advantage of the situation, I will not give in, and you should not try to persuade me. For those reasons, others will not pay this price. In the end It is very likely that these lands will be confiscated, I understand, but this is not a condition for you to threaten me, so I will not give these lands to you in vain!"
It has been widely spread that all the land owned by the Daimyo lords in Ouetsu will be nationalized.
And Kawamoto Nobuyasu knew that this was not a rumor.
Nowadays, there is indeed no second person who would offer a price to acquire the land he owns. After all, it is obviously a waste of time.
Lu Ming looked at him and smiled: "I won't increase the price, but I can tell you news that we have facilitated the return of the Aoyue Division."
Kawamoto Nobuyasu was shocked.
Lu Ming continued: "Some soldiers have decided to settle down in the Principality of Montenegro, but there are more than 10,000 people willing to return home." After a pause, "So, I am not taking advantage of the situation, nor am I your enemy. I am I'm here to help you solve your current dilemma." He looked at his watch and said, "General Shigeyoshi Kawamoto will call you in five minutes. He is at Xianquan now."
Kawamoto Nobuyasu looked at Lu Ming, his eyes full of suspicion, "Okay, I'll wait for his call."
Lu Ming smiled, picked up the tea cup and tasted tea.
Yamamoto Yu still has three to two months to receive 200 fighter planes.
Our own strategy has also changed accordingly. Originally, we were wary of the reactions of all parties. Now, we are betting that Yamamoto Yu will definitely not be willing to stir up trouble during this period. Therefore, the return of the Otsutsu Division has been put on the agenda. At the same time, the recent The Second Guard Division and the Black Bird Force will also land in Xianquan, and the military airport in Xianquan is also being expanded to complete the military layout in Xianquan and Aoyue as soon as possible.
Over there, Nobuyasu Kawamoto slowly put down the phone and looked at Lu Ming, "I hope to see a formal agreement!"
Lu Ming smiled slightly and nodded.
