my wife is a consul

Chapter 576 The Secret Covenant
Governor's Mansion restaurant, "Governor Zhang" family reunited today.

Lu Ming was in the first place, with Han Anni, Xue Zihan, Bai Naixian, the Kan sisters and Shangguan Yusuo sitting on the left and right.

Lu Ming is quite worried now that he will be struck to death suddenly by a thunderbolt from the sky. Several families are surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, fearing that the gods in the sky will be jealous.

Both Han Anni and Xue Zihan blushed and said nothing.

Bai Naixian's heart is like a bright mirror, opening up the food and wine.

When Lu Ming glanced at Han Anni and Xue Zihan, his heart was burning again.

However, Han Anni occasionally caught a glimpse of her eyes, and she gritted her teeth.

I also know that such absurdity is the excitement of reunion after a long absence. Coupled with the first experience of personnel affairs, Annie's mind is confused, she doesn't know if she is ashamed or happy, but Xue Zihan doesn't want to disobey herself. Come on, it's done.

But next time, it will definitely not be such a good thing.

That kind of great enjoyment can only be recollected.

Both are independent professional women with new ideas who advocate free love. Together, they gave themselves the first time. Whether it is happiness, satisfaction or pure desire, they are all full of joy. In fact, after touching each other, they are full of tendernessMore Some.

"Starting tomorrow, Annie, you and Narcissus, help me with the official documents and so on. I will go to retreat and leave for an hour after ten o'clock every night. If there is something urgent, you can call me!" Lu Ming had a drink The rice wine in the glass, while pondering and talking.

Han Anni and Bai Naixian both nodded.

……

The General Bailou of Shili Villa is now called "Prince Tower".

Lu Ming looked at a secret letter from the imperial capital, it was written by the eldest prince, who wanted to second his own air force for use.

In fact, Sanmai Company has already received orders from both the Kingdom of Gryffinni and the Kingdom of Sonia.

Moreover, in terms of technology, whether it is the first prince's Griffinian Kingdom or the second prince's Sonia Kingdom, it will be very soon for the domestic flight companies to arm their aircraft.

I hope that Sanmai, which is ahead, can maintain its technological advantage.

But no matter what, there is no doubt that his Black Mountain Army has now entered the sight of the First Prince and the Second Prince.

Of course, from the letter written by the eldest prince, it can be seen that they, who have always ignored the Northern Territory, and the bitter army of the Northern Territory, are still not very attractive to them.

The First Prince is only interested in his own bomber formation.

He picked up another letter, which was written by the second prince, and the language was much more beautiful, expressing his recognition of the territory of the Principality of Montenegro, respecting the sovereignty of the Principality of Montenegro and its interests in the Northern Territory, and sincerely invited the Principality of Montenegro to send representatives , and have a lot of contacts with the Kingdom of Sonia.

Lu Ming looked at it and smiled. This is definitely not a letter that the Second Prince's temper could write. This kind of sweet-hearted article should be done by the Second Prince's staff. It is also the idea of ​​his staff to win him over.

There is also a letter, which is a handwritten letter from the old lady Windsor, sent all the way from the imperial capital by her cronies, so there is no code letter.

In the letter, Miss Windsor was very excited, vaguely hinting that if this continues, within ten years, Her Royal Highness the Princess will be able to compete for the claim of the Emperor of the Empire.

However, Miss Windsor was obviously not dazzled by her series of amazing victories, and asked herself a question directly, what do you want?
Whether she will help Alice compete for the throne of the emperor, or whether she has other plans, finally entered her consideration.

Slowly flipping through these letters, Lu Ming thought deeply.

……

After Wu Benjin, the brigade commander of Miaozhou, resigned from all military and political positions and was appointed as the deputy prime minister of Xiangxi Cabinet Administration Council, according to the usual practice, Miaozhou Road should have been divided into three cities and sixteen counties. According to the laws of the Principality, cities and counties are at the same level administrative unit.

However, because it is a border, it is adjacent to the Sanyuan Khanate, and in the middle is the Lihan Desert where the Dongying Aoyue Division temporarily lived.

Therefore, Miaozhou Road implemented a special military-political integration system, and set up the Miaozhou Border Defense District. Bao Dalong, the commander of the Miaozhou Frontier Defense Brigade, was in charge of the military and political affairs of Miaozhou.

In fact, the Miaozhou Border Defense Brigade was transformed from Wu Benjin's Miaozhou Brigade. Bao Dalong was very dissatisfied with the atmosphere in the army. He trained hard every day, and the soldiers also complained.

A few days ago, Commissioner Li came from Xiangxi City. He selected a row of soldiers from the army as guards and left for Lihan.

I don't know what Commissioner Li and Brigadier Bao talked about. Although the training after that was still the devil's training, the food was much better, and the meat became smelly every day, and the complaints of the soldiers gradually decreased.

……

The main landform of Lihan is desert, and there is not much population. In history, it used to be a border trade place for the people of Haixi Zhongzhou and grassland herdsmen. However, the desertification has been serious for a hundred years, and the herdsmen have migrated away. Most of the Zhongzhou farmers who opened up wasteland here left here.

The ancient city of Lihan vaguely still looks like a fortified city with high walls and deep moats in the past, but the city has long been abandoned and is full of wormwood.

The Austrian Yue Division stayed here, unable to advance or retreat, which was actually very embarrassing.

Especially in the mainland of Japan, the main family lost power, and the head of the family, Kawamoto Daishin, committed suicide in fear of crime.

When the news came, Kawamoto Shigeyoshi also knew that there was no hope for the army to return home.

He gave Ma Quanyou a lot of arms, and even bribed the special envoy Ma Quanyou sent. Kawamoto Shigeyoshi hoped that the headquarters could leave this desert and go to the northern plains occupied by Ma Quanyou, even if he defended the border for Ma Quanyou?

Because the climate here is very different from that of Japan, and sandstorms are frequent, and the people of Japan who like humid and warm climate can hardly bear it. Not to mention, there are many female relatives accompanying the army and a large number of expatriates who came here with the Austrian Yue Division.

But until now, Ma Quanyou has not responded.

With a population of 5 to [-], if they want to buy sky-high prices of low-quality food from herdsmen, the military expenditures and hard currency of gold and silver they carry are almost used up.

There are even some herdsmen who are ready to buy slaves and choose strong men and beautiful women from the overseas Chinese in Japan.

From this a conflict broke out.

But after a long time, I am afraid that some expats will follow the herdsmen in order to have a meal. The remaining self-esteem and the sense of arrogance and superiority in the face of the grassland barbarians may not last for too long.

Just when Kawamoto Shigeyoshi was worried, the secret envoy sent by Governor Zhang of Xiangxi arrived in Lihan.

……

In the yurt of the grassland tribe, Kawamoto Shigeyoshi met Commissioner Li.

These yurts were bought from herdsmen at a high price, but they were mostly used by high-ranking military officers and wealthy figures among the expatriates to shelter them from the wind and sand. The life of low-level soldiers and ordinary expatriates was extremely difficult. It was really a refugee camp. generally.

Commissioner Li was young and handsome. He sipped cheese tea and said with a smile, "General Kawamoto, you guys are doing as the Romans do."

Kawamoto Shigeyoshi remained silent.

"I'm here on behalf of the governor. The general should be able to guess my reason for coming, right? In fact, I not only represent the governor, but the governor is also entrusted by His Royal Highness, hoping to form an alliance with the general."

Kawamoto Shigeyoshi sighed softly, and understood in his heart that the so-called alliance was nothing more than joining the Black Mountain Army and being cannon fodder for the Black Mountain Army.

However, in our current situation, we must be cannon fodder to survive, either as cannon fodder for Ma Quanyou, or for the people of Montenegro.

During the recent period, Shigeyoshi Kawamoto also thought about going to war directly with Ma Quanyou.

But on the way to escape, his side abandoned all heavy weapons. In order to win the trust of Ma Quanyou when he first arrived in Lihan, he even gave Ma Quanyou a large amount of arms.

A lone army without ammunition and food supplies has no chance of winning against the Ma Quanyou cavalry who come and go like the wind in the vast grassland.

It is another matter to have the support of Montenegrin.

However, even if the people of Montenegro give support weapons and equipment, how much kindness can they really have?
Over there, Commissioner Li continued: "If General Kawamoto can help us wipe out the Sanyuan puppet regime and defeat the Baihai puppet regime, His Royal Highness promises that he can send you back to the country, including the expats who come here with you today. .”

Shigeyoshi Kawamoto's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at Commissioner Li with eager light in his eyes.

return home?Can there really be that day?

"General Kawamoto should also know that we have obtained the right to manage Xianquan Port for 100 years. His Royal Highness promised to send you to Xianquan when the grasslands are pacified. At that time, do you want to go back to Aoyue or settle in Xianquan? , it’s all up to you to choose.”

The great joy in Shigeyoshi Kawamoto's heart was quickly extinguished. I also knew that although His Royal Highness said that he valued promises in his actions, he was a lawyer, and he was paranoid about maintaining the contract, but if he really wanted to satisfy him, his side would be afraid. You have to pay a heavy price to get this opportunity to return to China.

"General Kawamoto, I can give you three days to think about it!" Commissioner Li smiled slightly.

Shigeyoshi Kawamoto sighed inwardly. In fact, do he still have a choice?
