If it were Zheng Yucong, his first thought would definitely be: The secretary married a military attaché! This is the military attaché’s home! ... Otherwise, why would the military attaché of the embassy be here? A secretary would not live in such a nice house.
But this is Fourteen Gege. Her head is not full of romantic gossip, she is full of power and conspiracy.
Therefore, the first thought of Fourteen Gege is: Although Asakura Sako is just a small embassy secretary, she is an important chess piece, because she is the only one who is both her classmate and now works for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
So it was natural to send her to Nanjing, and it was natural to prepare a large and decent house for her - so that she could come to "visit" frequently in the future!
In fact, Shi Shigege suspected that although Asakura Sako was a staff member of the embassy in Ming Dynasty, it was not certain whether she could speak Chinese.
Needless to say, the protagonists tonight were not myself and my old classmate Asakura Sako, but myself and the Japanese military attaché in Ming Dynasty, Kenji Doihara.
The owner of the house is Asakura Sako, at least in name, but when Doihara and Shigege talked, Asakura immediately stepped aside in a smart way, and Doihara Kenji took over the conversation.
, took care of everything, chatted and laughed with Shi Shige like a host, and introduced several guests present one by one.
As expected, these people are all Japanese, two are directors of Mitsubishi Corporation (Nanjing), two are members of the military system of the embassy, and they also accompanied Kenji Doihara. The other four women are their female dependents
. Fourteen men have never met before, but their names sound familiar. Especially the two men from Mitsubishi, they seem to frequently appear on the People's Guard's watch list.
Japanese trading companies, especially large conglomerates like Mitsubishi and Mitsui, have branches in various places in China (regardless of Ming and Qing Dynasties). In addition to being trading companies, they generally have another function, that is, half of an intelligence organization. This is also a Japanese trading company.
It only has this characteristic, which is basically not the case in other countries. This is already an open secret in the intelligence circles of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
That means that these people here tonight are not outsiders.
After a brief introduction and pleasantries, the Fourteenth Princess knew that this was indeed the residence of Asakura Sako, and Doihara half-jokingly said that the residence of Her Royal Highness in Nanjing is secret and cannot be made public. In order to take care of the future interactions between Her Royal Highness and her old classmates.
It is convenient, so I found such a decent residence for Miss Asakura, so that when Her Royal Highness the Princess comes, the place will not be particularly shabby.
Sure enough, this is exactly what Shi Shi Ge Ge expected.
…
After chatting, it was time to have dinner. Dinner was Western food. From the Meiji Restoration to the present, Japan has been in a state of "worshiping foreigners and favoring foreigners", and all aspects of society have been fully Westernized. Especially after seeing the examples of the Ming and Qing Dynasties: Learning from the Ming Dynasty
If you learn from the West well, you will become more civilized and richer; if the Qing Dynasty does not learn from the West well, the result will be darker and poorer. This also stimulated Japan to learn everything from the West more thoroughly, and the upper class also regarded Western-style life as its standard.
Fashion.
However, in recent years, Japanese nationalism has been on the rise, and a trend of thought that "everything is good for Japan" is rising, especially when the February 26 Incident of 2036 became a turning point, marking the dominance of Yamato's ultra-nationalism. But in
In these overseas circles, there is still a relatively "advocating for foreigners" status, so much so that tonight Shi Shigege thought she would eat sashimi, but what she ended up eating was steak.
