my wife is a consul

Chapter 378

Gentleman Ma prepared a very quiet courtyard.

There are four main rooms, Lu Ming is currently in the east room, and there is a moon door leading to the inner attic room, Ashikaga Erika is in the inner room.

Lu Ming was planning to go to bed in the east room, but unexpectedly, an unexpected guest came.

Looking at the page after page of photocopies that were obviously taken with a small spy camera in his hand, he looked at Yuluan standing opposite him.

Yuluan didn't report to him by secret telegram or telephone, but Yuluan personally rushed over from Montenegro by helicopter. It is conceivable that the information in hand is very important.

Indeed, this is a copy of the comprehensive friendship and cooperation agreement to be signed between 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, near the sea.

Liu Bangchang, the governor of Haixi, has always been ambitious, and he is a sworn enemy with Qi Huaide, the governor of the Northern Xinjiang province.

Northern Xinjiang Province is his hometown, in the northwest of Longbei Province.

Haixi and Beijiang are the two northernmost provinces of the empire, and further north is the extremely cold place outside the Tianshan Mountains.

There are many Jinzhou people in Haixi Province, accounting for almost one-third of the population. Jinzhou people are cruel and warlike, and they are Liu Bangchang's most important source of troops. Therefore, Haixi Army has always been known for its brutality and toughness.

There are also many important officials at all levels under Liu Bangchang, and there are many people from Jinzhou.

The Dongying people have always had their hands in the four resource-rich northern provinces, and the Haixi and Longbei provinces near the sea are even more natural stepping stones.

With the current civil strife in the empire, it is obvious that the Japanese no longer need to hide it. 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.

"That's what the information from Haixi said." Yuluan replied in a low voice.

Lu Ming nodded, "Then, I'm afraid it will trigger a series of reactions."

The Dongying people have been talking with Ren Zhonglin, using the protection of overseas Chinese as an excuse to provide security for the Dongying residential area in the capital of Longbei Province, which is actually to garrison troops.

At the same time, Nanping and Xin'an are both on the list of cities that need to protect expatriates.

Today, the Hercynian province has set a precedent and wants to introduce external forces to help it launch a war.

Ren Zhonglin is the weakest of the governors of the four provinces, because there are too many factions of local warlords in Longbei, and it is difficult to integrate them together.

Therefore, in order to protect himself, Ren Zhonglin is afraid that he will also make a certain compromise with the Dongying people.

Yuluan whispered: "Yes, the Empress of Liuli Palace also asked her servants to bring messages to the master. It is better for the master not to return to Nanping."

Lu Ming nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, should someone assassinate Gao Baoshan tonight?

Ren Zhonglin negotiated with the Dongying people, at least there would be a bottom line, and it was impossible to allow the Dongying people to garrison large-scale troops.

But Gao Baoshan's current state of mind is uncertain, and there may be something wrong.

But if Gao Baoshan is removed now, it will give some people and some forces a high-sounding excuse, and the consequences may not be better than watching it change now.

There was no news from Asaba Yoshiko's side.

When it comes to the vital interests of the Dongying people, they naturally keep it a secret from themselves.

And I feel that the Asaba family should not be on the same line with Yamamoto's Kansai Group.

As for Yoshiko Asaba, she was even more at odds with Nagamasa Asaba.

"Master, if there is nothing else to do, the servant will leave." Yuluan knelt down on one knee and saluted.

Lu Ming nodded: "Be careful."

……

The meeting room of Nanping Daoyin Office.

Gao Baoshan and Sun Chonggu sat side by side at the main seat.

Gao Baoshan was expressionless, but Sun Chonggu was in high spirits, because the Dongying Gendarmerie had just entered Nanping, and he became friends with its Gendarmerie Captain Gang Chuanichiro.

The first person on the left side of the long conference table was Ichiro Gang Chuan, who was in the uniform of a brown military police officer. He was not tall, but he had a fierce face. The Rendanhu on his lips made him even more ferocious. At least, Lu Ming's first reaction Even so, subconsciously gave birth to disgust.

In the provincial capital, Ren Zhonglin only allowed Dongying people to station in a police company, and he was not allowed to station in the name of military police, and the scope of activities could only be within the Dongying people's gathering area.

But in Nanping and Xin'an, with Gao Baoshan's permission, each of them stationed a brigade of Dongying Gendarmerie, basically a battalion-level organization.

Gang ChuanYiLang was hired as Gao Baoshan's military adviser at the same time.

As a result, Gang ChuanYiLang sat first on the left.

Lu Ming, seated first on the right, is Gao Baoshan's innovation consultant commissioner, and also serves as the chairman of the Nanping Special Investigation Committee and the head of the Nanping Procuratorate's procuratorate.

Ichiro Gang Chuan and Lu Ming went down, followed by Li Tian, ​​the chairman of the Finance Committee, Liu Xin, the chief of the police station, Gao Yuhu, the head of the garrison regiment, and other important military and political officials of Nanping Road.

Listening to Gao Baoshan's introduction of Ichiro Gang Chuan, the faces of the people present were all calm, but they knew in their hearts that Nanping Road is really a mess now, and only God knows what will happen in the end.

Gao Baoshan also introduced the duties of the Dongying Gendarmerie. In addition to maintaining the order and security of the Dongying Overseas Chinese District, it will also assist the police station in managing the security of Nanping City.

When Gao Baoshan said this, Liu Xin stood up, nodded and bowed to Ichiro Gangchuan, and said that he would definitely cooperate sincerely with His Excellency Gangchuan.

Gang ChuanYiLang just nodded lightly.

"Commissioner Zhang, the Special Investigation Committee also needs to cooperate more with Captain Gang Chuan. Information on public security must be reported to Captain Gang Chuan in time." Gao Baoshan looked at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming nodded, "That's no problem."

Ichiro Gang Chuan turned his eyes away from Lu Ming, and then looked down at the letter in his hand.

Lu Ming smiled and said: "Marshal Lu, but now our Longbei Province is still one of the imperial confederations, and we must act within the framework of imperial laws. The legal reform I helped Marshal Lu promote is also for this purpose, and In my opinion, the responsibilities of the gendarmerie and the agreement with the brigade commander have no extraterritorial power. If there is, it should be abolished according to the imperial law. File a lawsuit. This, Captain Okagawa, I hope you will communicate to your troops."

Gang ChuanYiLang immediately frowned.

Lu Ming smiled: "I definitely don't want to disown Captain Gang Chuan or anything, but there are precedents for this. Officers and soldiers stationed outside the region often have different mentalities. They think they are superior, and they have the protection of the military camp, which violates the law. There will always be more things to do, I hope Captain Gang Chuan can try his best to restrain the troops and not cause any unpleasantness."

It is said that it is not to "get off the horse", but every sentence is to poke the gas pipe.

Ichiro Gang Chuan snorted coldly, "Zhang Sang, you have no right to speculate or accuse the internal affairs of our Kansai Invincible Legion!"

Invincible Legion?Lu Ming smiled, shrugged, and stopped talking.

"Continue to the next topic." Gao Baoshan made a gesture, ending the exchange full of gunpowder in just a few sentences.
