My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 47: All parties compete
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
Mr. Ma prepared a very quiet courtyard.
There are four main rooms, Lu Ming is in the east room now, and there is a moon cave door leading to the inner pavilion, and Ashikaga Erika is in the inner room.
Lu Ming was preparing to go to bed in the east room, but unexpectedly, an uninvited guest came.
Looking at the page-by-page photocopies of photos that were obviously taken with a small spy camera, he looked at Yuluan standing solemnly opposite.
Instead of reporting to himself via secret messages or phone calls, Yu Luan came in person from Montenegro by helicopter. One can imagine how important this information was.
It is true that this is a copy of the Comprehensive Agreement of Friendship and Cooperation to be signed between the Hercynian Province and the Kingdom of Japan.
Haixi Province is one of the four provinces in the Northern Territory. It is in the north of Longbei Province and is close to the sea.
Liu Bangchang, the governor of Haixi Province, has always been ambitious and is a mortal enemy of Qi Huaide, the governor of Northern Xinjiang Province.
Beijiang Province is my hometown, located in the northwest of Longbei Province.
Haixi and Beijiang are the two northernmost provinces of the empire. Further north, there is the extremely cold land outside the Tianshan Mountains.
There are many Jinzhou people in the Haixi Province, accounting for almost one-third of the population. The Jinzhou people are cruel and warlike and are Liu Bangchang's most important source of troops. Therefore, the Haixi Army has always been known for its brutality and toughness.
Liu Bangchang has many important officials at all levels, including many people from Jinzhou.
The Japanese have always been interested in the four northern provinces, which are rich in resources. Haixi Province and Longbei Province, which are close to the sea, are natural stepping stones.
With the current civil strife in the empire, it is obvious that the Japanese no longer need to be secretive. This agreement with the Hercynian Province is also a microcosm of the disintegration of the empire.
"Will it be officially signed tomorrow?" Lu Ming frowned.
"This is what the information from Haixi said." Yu Luan replied softly.
Lu Ming nodded, "Then, I'm afraid it will trigger a series of reactions."
The Japanese people have been talking to Ren Zhonglin about providing security for the Japanese residential areas in Longbei Provincial City on the grounds of protecting overseas Chinese. In fact, they want to garrison troops.
At the same time, Nanping and Xin'an are also on the list of cities that need to protect expatriates.
Now, the Hercynian Province has set a precedent and wants to introduce external forces to help it launch a war.
Ren Zhonglin is the weakest among the four provincial governors because there are too many local warlord factions in Longbei and it is difficult to integrate them together.
So in order to protect himself, Ren Zhonglin was afraid that he would also make a certain degree of compromise with the Japanese.
Yu Luan whispered: "Yes, the Lady of Liuli Palace also asked the slave to bring a message to the master. It is best that the master does not return to Nanping."
Lu Ming nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, should he assassinate Gao Baoshan tonight?
When Ren Zhonglin negotiates with the Japanese, he will at least have a bottom line. It is impossible to allow the Japanese to garrison on a large scale.
But Gao Baoshan's current mentality is uncertain, and something might go wrong.
But if Gao Baoshan is eliminated now, it will give some people and some forces a high-sounding excuse, and the consequences may not be better than waiting to see what happens now.
No news came from Asaha Yoshiko.
When it comes to the vital interests of Japanese people, they naturally keep them secret.
And I feel that the Asaba family and Yamamoto Yu’s Kansai Group are not on the same line.
As for Asaha Yoshiko, she and Asaha Nagamasa are not of the same mind.
"Master, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave." Yu Luan knelt down on one knee and saluted.
Lu Ming nodded: "Pay attention to safety."
……
The meeting room of Nanping Road Yin Office.
Gao Baoshan and Sun Chonggu sat side by side at the main seat.
Gao Baoshan's face was expressionless, but Sun Chonggu looked high-spirited, because the Japanese military police had just entered Nanping, and he became friends with its military police captain Gangchuan Ichiro.
The first person sitting on the left side of the long conference table is Ichiro Okawa in a brown military police officer uniform. He is not tall, but has a fierce face. The rendan on his lips makes him even more ferocious. At least, Lu Ming That was the first reaction, and I subconsciously felt disgust.
In the provincial capital, Ren Zhonglin only allowed Japan ()
, they are not allowed to be stationed in the name of military police, and their scope of activities can only be within areas where Japanese people gather.
But in Nanping and Xin'an, with Gao Baoshan's permission, a Japanese military police brigade was stationed in each, which was basically a battalion-level organization.
Ichiro Gangchuan was also hired as Gao Baoshan's military adviser.
As a result, Ichiro Okawa sat in the first place on the left.
Lu Ming, sitting first from the right, is Gao Baoshan's reform consultant. He also serves as the chairman of the Nanping Special Investigation Committee and the chief prosecutor of the Nanping Procuratorate.
Going down from Gangchuan Ichiro and Lu Ming, sat Li Tian, the chairman of the Finance Committee, Liu Xin, the police chief, Gao Yuhu, the head of the security regiment, and other Nanping Road military and political dignitaries.
Listening to Gao Baoshan's introduction to Ichiro Okawa, everyone present had a calm expression on their faces, but they all understood in their hearts that Nanping Road is really in a mess now, and only God knows what will happen in the end.
Gao Baoshan also introduced the responsibilities of the Japanese Gendarmerie. In addition to maintaining order and security in the Japanese overseas community, they will also assist the police station in managing public security in Nanping City.
When Gao Baoshan said this, Liu Xin and others stood up, nodded and bowed and expressed to Ichiro Okawa that they would cooperate sincerely with His Excellency Okawa.
Ichiro Gangchuan just nodded lightly.
"Commissioner Zhang, the special investigation committee also needs to cooperate more with Captain Gang Chuan. Public security information must be reported to Captain Gang Chuan in a timely manner." Gao Baoshan looked at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming nodded, "That's no problem."
Okagawa Ichiro's eyes turned from Lu Ming, then lowered his head to read the letter in his hand.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Commander Brigade, but now our Longbei Province is still considered one of the imperial confederations. We must act within the framework of imperial laws. The purpose of the rule of law reform that I help Brigade Commander promote is also Furthermore, I see the responsibilities of the gendarmerie and the agreement with the brigade commander. It has no extraterritorial jurisdiction. If it does, it should be abolished according to imperial law. Therefore, once there is a dispute between the gendarmerie and the civilians, because there is no military court in Nanping, our prosecutor's office will We will file a lawsuit through the civil courts. Captain Okawa, I hope you will convey this to your subordinates."
Okagawa Ichiro's brows immediately frowned.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I definitely don't want to give Captain Gang Chuan any authority, but there are precedents for this. Officers and soldiers stationed outside the territory often have a different mentality. They think they are superior to others and have the protection of the military camp. There will always be more violations of law and discipline. I hope Captain Okagawa can try his best to restrain his subordinates and prevent any unpleasantness."
They say they don’t want to show off their power, but every word they say is just poking at the trachea.
Okagawa Ichiro snorted, "Zhang Sang, you have no right to make any speculations or accusations about the internal affairs of our Kansai Invincible Legion!"
Invincible Legion? Lu Ming smiled, shrugged, and said no more.
"Continue to the next topic." Gao Baoshan made a gesture, ending the short exchange filled with gunpowder.
