Chapter 57 The continuation of the Zhou family can only rely on you
Just when the Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Command, Prince Hiroyao, secretly cursed Prime Minister Reijiro Wakatsuki as an old fox,
Their Majesty also turned his inquiring gaze to Prince Bo Gong, Chief of the Naval Command Department, "Your Majesty!"
"I also obey all your Majesty's instructions!"
Seeing this, Prince Bo Gong, Chief of the Naval Command Department, quickly responded.
There was no need for their Majesty to ask for his opinion, so he took the lead in expressing his opinion.
Seeing how respectful both of them were, their Majesty nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's wait until Neji Okamura, Iwane Matsui and others come to tell me about the situation in the Northeast, and then we can talk about this topic again!"
"You all know very well that I don't like to give orders to the military and your various agencies!"
"So it will still be up to you two to make the decision then!"
"As for me, I'm just listening to your opinions. I won't promise them anything or issue any special orders!"
But their Majesty responded more cunningly than them.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
........
........
After hearing this, the two of them nodded in agreement understandingly.
Their Majesty was once again satisfied, smiled, and began to change the subject.
Chatted with them about other unrelated things.
........
........
And that night, Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji had already returned to their homeland on a warship, and were immediately summoned by Army Minister Sadao Araki and Prime Minister Reijiro Wakatsuki.
Residence of Prime Minister Reijiro Wakatsuki,
War Minister Sadao Araki and Prime Minister Reijiro Wakatsuki met with Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji in the drawing room.
"Come back so soon?"
"It seems that the speed of our warships has increased again!"
"Matsui-kun, Okamura-kun!"
When he saw Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji sitting opposite him,
Prime Minister Wakatsuki Reijiro asked the servants to bring them tea and said with a smile to them.
"Hai! Yes, Prime Minister!"
Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji quickly nodded respectfully and agreed.
This was the first time for the two of them to be received and questioned by two such high-level Japanese leaders at such a close distance, so they did not dare to lose their etiquette at all.
Especially this time, they were able to return to their homeland and meet their Majesty, all because of the arrangement of the two old Japanese high-level officials in front of them.
So they were in awe and very grateful to each other.
"Yo Xi! You don't have to be so nervous when you come to my mansion today. Just relax and have a good chat with me. Minister Araki and I have also arranged a banquet for you. After we finish talking,
, you can go to the banquet!"
Regarding the attitudes of Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji,
Prime Minister Wakatsuki Reijiro was very satisfied and waved his hand, indicating that they did not need to greet them so politely.
"Hai!"
........
Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji thanked them again.
"Well! Actually, the reason why I chatted with you in advance is that I hope to understand the situation in the Northeast first and what it is like!"
"Then, maybe I can give you some advice so that when you meet His Majesty tomorrow, you can know what you can say and what you cannot say!"
Prime Minister Reijiro Wakatsuki became more and more satisfied with the attitude of Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji, and continued to respond with a smile.
"Hai!"
"Everything follows the arrangements of the Prime Minister!"
........
Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji spoke in unison again, nodded and bowed in agreement.
Prime Minister Wakatsuki Reijiro and Minister Araki looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction again.
After that, the two of them asked Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji to take turns to explain to them what the situation would be like after the Kwantung Army occupied the northeastern side.
........
........
And at this time,
In Songhu,
Zhou family,
Zhou Wenhua has also met his eldest brother Zhou Leming for a day.
Moreover, Zhou Wenhua also brought his current eldest brother into his father Zhou Jiawei's ward to visit and talk.
After a day of getting to know each other,
This morning,
The two brothers were drinking tea and having breakfast in a lively restaurant.
"Everything at home depends on you!"
"You know that my elder brother's thoughts are all focused on military affairs, so you, who has followed your father since childhood, know more about business matters!"
"And I have no interest or interest in doing business!"
"Protecting my family and my country is what I want to do!"
After getting acquainted with each other, Zhou Leming spoke to Zhou Wenhua in a gentle tone.
"Don't worry, brother!"
"I will definitely take good care of the people in my family!"
"I will not let them starve or be bullied by others. As for the traitors who attacked my father, I will definitely find them and come back with revenge!"
Zhou Wenhua nodded in response.
"Yeah! Those traitors, after I return to the army, I will also have people look for them!"
"This hatred must be revenged, otherwise people will think that our Zhou family is easy to bully!"
"And I hate these traitors and lackeys the most!"
"Apart from doing bad things for the Japanese, they have no other good things to do!"
Zhou Leming agreed.
"Yeah! Brother, you are right!"
"You can definitely get revenge, but as an officer in the army, you must always be careful of the treachery and cunning of the Japanese, as well as their sophisticated weapons and equipment!"
"The Japs' coordinated operations by sea, land and air are extremely lethal!"
"Anyway, I only have a big brother like you, so you must take care of yourself!"
Zhou Wenhua expressed concern.
"From the moment I joined the army, I put life and death aside!"
"So our Zhou family's incense still needs to rely on you to continue it!"
"In addition, you should keep a low profile in business. You have been in a lot of news recently!"
"Whether it's the automobile industry you're involved in or the elimination of most of the family's industrial chain, it's all been on the news. Even I, a person who is devoted to the military, have heard about it!"
"Sometimes, being too sharp may not be a good thing, especially when you don't have enough strength to protect yourself, you must keep a low profile and don't do so many things to expose yourself!
"
"Low-key development of strength and career is the foundation for continued production!"
"So for the sake of our Zhou family, I also hope that you can keep a low profile in the future!"
"Otherwise, it will be very difficult for our Zhou family to continue!"
Zhou Leming reminded Zhou Wenhua.
"Well! I've been very low-key recently!"
"The reason why I closed down all my father's industrial chains is because many of them were losses, and I just wanted to keep a low profile and make money!"
"So I will definitely obey your teachings, big brother!"
Zhou Wenhua also expressed his thanks.
"Well! You can handle it yourself!"
"In short, the continuation of the Zhou family can only rely on you!"
"Like me here in the army, if I can live for a day, it's a day!"
"We have to fight the devils at any time!"
"So you get it!"
.......
Zhou Leming added with a smile.
"Yes! Brother!"
Zhou Wenhua promised.
So Zhou Leming smiled again, and continued to eat with Zhou Wenhua, changing the topic and chatting about home affairs and some interesting things that happened in Songhu recently.
For Zhou Leming, it has been a long time since he was as relaxed as he is now, having dinner with his family.
So he was very happy chatting today.
And Zhou Wenhua also tasted chatting with relatives for the first time two months after coming to this era.
This is a long-lost feeling of affection and nostalgia.
It would be even better if the peaceful period could last forever without having to fight those damned Japanese invaders.
It's a pity that these devil-like bastards will bring the war to Songhu in a few months.
