Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 48 Conspiracy
It was only a few days before the arrival of the US Secretary of State. As the main person in charge of the reception, the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Nord Foreign Ministry asked with some headaches: "Master Robert, what should we do now?"

Taking a sip of coffee, Robert didn't seem to care about the matter at all, he still looked down at his newspaper, and only put down the newspaper when the deputy foreign minister was anxious to speak again.

"His Highness is not here, and the Prime Minister is not here. What can we do now? No one knows the strength of the United States. Under such circumstances, our Highness dares to provoke the United States. Maybe His Highness is really too young."

The deputy foreign minister, who was originally anxious, couldn't help being stunned when he heard this sentence. Although he was dripping with cold sweat, he looked at Robert with some fear. What does this sentence mean? Could it be...

"Minister Claire doesn't need to think too much, I have no other meaning."

Robert said so, but who would believe it?At this time, Claire has already started to retreat. After all, the Ragnar family is the founder of Nord, and everything that Nord is today is due to Joseph.These cabinet members?A new batch of cabinet members may not be worse than them, but if there is no Principality of Joseph Nord, there will be no today.

What made Claire shrink back the most was that Joseph was too mysterious, and mystery easily gave birth to fear. More than half of the reason for Joseph's position as the ruler of Nord at the age of nine was this mystery.

"Then, what should I do now?"

"There is no way. To be honest, can he, the US Secretary of State, still blame us?"

"But in this way..."

"That's His Highness's business, Foreign Minister Claire."

Without effective instructions, Claire could only leave and leave. He didn't know that looking at his back, a complex look flashed in Robert's eyes.

"Director John, maybe things are not as simple as we thought."

Following Robert's words, a middle-aged blond man with a hooked nose and gloomy eyes came in. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, but anyone who looked at him would know that his identity was extraordinary, and it was very likely that he was Military origin.

"That's your business, Mr. Robert, what are you going to do now? There are not many such opportunities. Once you miss it, you can only leave Nord."

The other party seemed to be very familiar with Robert. After entering the door, he sat down opposite Robert, casually picked up the coffee that Claire had never touched when he arrived, and drank it.

"Well, it's a bit cold, but the taste is not bad. Nord's development is indeed very fast, so fast that we can't ignore it."

Robert ignored the other party's words, closed his eyes and meditated for a long time before he said: "This is not the best time to do something, but now... I hope your people can hold back James and Joseph's return!"

"It's no problem to hold Joseph down. James...you should know that our relationship with Italy is not very harmonious, maybe some special means."

"No, it's too easy to see mistakes that way, and it's not conducive to..."

"It's not good for you to be the first president of Nord. Haha! My old friend, I know what to do, it was just a joke."

"I hope I don't hear such jokes again, John!"

Joseph and James were not aware of the conspiracy in Robert's office. At the same time, James was inspecting Italian handicraft workshops accompanied by the Italian Prime Minister.

Nord's position in the clothing industry is becoming more and more stable, but he came to Italy to understand the gap between Nord and Italian clothing.In terms of fashion and trend, Italy is far inferior to Nord, but in terms of workmanship and formal wear, the Italian clothing industry has more than one street out of Nord.

"Mr. James, this is a gift from us, I hope you will like it."

When he was about to leave, the owner of the workshop gave a gift. Looking at the rectangular box, James knew it was a suit. Needless to say, an Italian suit, and it was a wish from the other party. James had no reason not to accept.The workshop owner was also very happy to see James accepting his gift, which meant that the next request was much easier.

"Prime Minister James, on behalf of the Italian fashion industry, I invite Nord peers to join our alliance. For this reason, we can share the clothing exhibition with Nord, and Nord and Milan will hold it in turn!"

James couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this, it's a good thing!There are countless benefits that clothing exhibitions can bring, expanding popularity is only one of them, and bringing considerable passenger flow is the main one.

"Although I can't agree to your request for the Nord clothing industry, I believe no one will refuse such a thing. On behalf of the Nord cabinet, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

"It's a win-win, isn't it, Mr. James."

"Yes, it's a win-win situation!"

The title of James kept changing during the conversation. The prime minister was talking about official matters, while the husband was talking to James in a private capacity. The two are completely different.

During the conversation, James did not know that this was a trap, a trap that dragged James to Italy. Although what the workshop owner said was true and he was indeed prepared to do so, the government he hoped to cooperate with was not James. But someone else.

Perhaps only the Italian Prime Minister was unhappy during this process, because no one notified him in advance, but at this time he could not open his mouth. He must not disregard the overall situation and the face of the government to reprimand the workshop owner!
Sensoji Temple, Tokyo, Japan

The Kyoto Guest House originally wanted to prepare a guide for Joseph, but looked at the two who were full of mouths!A male guide who kept bowing, Joseph refused the kindness of the general manager of the Kyoto Guest House.

Only Marceau and a few guards followed him during this trip. Of course, there were also two security personnel from the Japanese royal family. They were mainly responsible for helping Joseph clean up unnecessary troubles.

Although Tokyo is the capital of Japan, the law and order here is not very good, especially Joseph did not reveal his identity, even if some reckless people bump into Joseph, it is not a trivial matter.

This represents the face of Japan, and the government and the royal family have to care about it. Joseph also understands this, so he didn't deliberately get rid of these people.

There are a lot of tourists in Sensoji Temple. The women who come and go see the most are women in kimonos. They are holding the arms of their friends and laughing, or watching the groceries placed in front of them. It is easy for people to think that they are in the Warring States Period of Japan Era.

Seeing the curiosity in Marceau's eyes, Joseph took the initiative to help Marceau buy a pack of rice balls. Marceau, who enjoyed such treatment for the first time, was obviously flattered.

The rice ball was handed to Marceau, but Joseph also faced an embarrassing problem at this time. He did not have Japanese yen on him, but only a few US dollars. Although US dollars are also used in Japan, they cannot be traded among the people.
