In the name of celebrating his birthday, Japanese Consul General in Shanghai Kimasa Okamoto invited celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai to the Navy Club to attend a banquet, and Commodus and Sassoon were both invited.

George would not have been eligible to participate.

But Okamoto Jimasa made a special roll call and hoped that George would attend.

So Zhong Yi came to the Navy Club with Commodus and Sassoon as George.

Banquets are held in the form of buffets, and there are more such buffets on diplomatic occasions, because the banquet attendees can gather and communicate at will, and they can also arrive late or leave early.

Zhong Yi and the three had just walked into the hall, and Okamoto Jimasa put down his wine glass and stepped forward.

This birthday is actually just an excuse, because today is not Kimasa Okamoto's birthday at all, and no one will delve into this anyway.

Okamoto's real intention is to have an in-depth exchange with Sassoon or George.

Although so far, it has only been limited to the concession and has not yet affected the area controlled by the Japanese army, but Okamoto Jizheng is very convinced of an old Chinese saying, everything is foreseen, and if nothing is prepared, it will be wasted, so he wants to take precautions and draw a red line with the Sassoon Guards in advance.

Otherwise, it would not be good for the Sassoon Guard to cross the border and trigger a conflict between the Japanese government and the Western powers.

As the consul general of the Japanese government in Shanghai, as a diplomat, if something happens under his rule, it will undoubtedly be a humiliating defeat, and it will certainly affect his future.

"Minister Commodus, Sir Sassoon, and Captain George."

Catching up with the three of them, Okamoto Ji was spreading his hands and turning his head slightly.

"Consul General Okamoto." The three Commodus also returned the gentlemanly courtesy.

"It's an honor for you to be here for my birthday." Okamoto Kimasa said again.

Commodus presented the small gift he had prepared in advance, and said with a smile: "It's just a small courtesy, but it's not a respect." ”

Okamoto Jizheng took the gift, handed it to the secretary, and said, "Or, let's talk over there?" ”

Commodus spread his hands indispensably, Sassoon also had the same expression, but Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I also have something to say to His Excellency the Minister." ”

Okamoto Ji was turning around to lead the way, but he was a little confused in his heart.

This Sassoon guard seems to have an unknown inside story?

In the corner of the hall, Okamoto called the waiter and served red wine to the three of them.

Then Okamoto Jimasa said straight to the point: "Sir Sassoon, and Captain George, it's like this, the people from the Huang Mansion have found me, hoping that I can come forward to take the center of the circle." ”

That's the power of this old devil like Kimasa Okamoto.

If it is clear that the division of spheres of influence between Chariot and Horse and Sassoon Wei is made clear as soon as it comes up, it is easy to make the situation stiff and not to mention, and it is often difficult to strive for maximum benefits.

So Okamoto Jimasa chose Huang Jingrong's matter as the starting point.

(Some readers reminded the swordsman, saying that Huang Jingrong had better use a pseudonym, and he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he would use Huang Jingrong in the future)

Sassoon was noncommittal, but Zhong Yi said abruptly: "It seems that the people in the Huang Mansion have a lot of energy, and they can actually say that Consul General Okamoto came forward to intercede for them." ”

Okamoto Jizheng smiled and said, "Captain George, can you put Huang Jingrong in the face of the contemptible people?" ”

"Okay, no problem." Zhong Yi smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, we have never said that we will not let Huang Jingrong go, as long as the Huang Mansion compensates us for all the losses of our Sassoon guards, we will release them immediately." ”

Okamoto Jizheng nodded, and said, "Captain George, can I ask how much the Huang Mansion needs to compensate your guards before you are willing to release them?" ”

"Not much." Zhong Yi said lightly, "Fifty million." ”

"Nani, fifty million?" Okamoto Jimasa's face stiffened when he heard this.

Zhong Yi smiled slightly, and added: "The US dollar is not legal tender. ”

"Nani, return the dollars?" Okamoto Jimasa's face became more and more embarrassed.

Frowning, Okamoto said, "Captain George, you don't seem to have the attitude to solve the problem. ”

50 million US dollars, indeed some lions opened their mouths, although Huang Jingrong is a famous tycoon in Shanghai and has a lot of money, but it is worth 500 US dollars.

Even if you count all the property of the Faithful Church, I am afraid that we will not be able to collect 50 million US dollars.

Zhong Yi asked rhetorically: "So what does Consul General Okamoto think should be done about this matter?" ”

Okamoto Ji Zheng said: "Regarding the conflict between your Sassoon Guard and the Huang Mansion, that is, the Faithful Society, I probably also learned from No. 76, the cause is that a member of your guard team won too much money in the Gongxing Club. ”

"Mr. Consul." Zhong Yi interrupted, "What do you mean by winning too much money?" Since the Gongxing Club dares to open its doors to do business, it must be prepared to lose money, and it can't only win money but not lose money, right? Isn't that a robbery? ”

"Of course, this is of course the fault of the Gongxing Club." Okamoto Jimasa waved his hand, and continued, "After that, the people of the Gongxing Club use violence, and it is even more wrong to ambush your guards in the middle of the way. ”

After a pause, Okamoto Jimasa said again: "However, as far as I know, the guards of your guard did not suffer casualties, but the people of the Faithful Society, that is, the Huang Mansion, were killed by you nearly a thousand people......

"Mr. Consul, it's not like what you say." Zhong Yi interrupted again, "There were no casualties in our guards, and the people of the Faithful Society, that is, the Huang Mansion, were killed by us nearly a thousand, and that was because they were incompetent, but the incompetence of the Faithful Society could not cover up their mistakes, and they should be punished if they made mistakes." ”

"I couldn't agree more." Okamoto nodded and said, "But even if the compensation is to be measured, we can't ask for a price, so it's not a positive attitude to do it." ”

Zhong Yi sneered: "So what does the Consul General mean?" ”

Okamoto Jimasa said: "500,000 silver dollars, how about it?" ”

"Half a million silver dollars? Hehe, this is the bottom line of the Huang Mansion? Zhong Yi sneered twice, and said, "Mr. Consul General, if this is the case, please be sure to tell the Huang Mansion and let them prepare to collect Huang Jingrong's body." ”

"Okay." Okamoto Jimasa shrugged his shoulders regretfully, and said, "Anyway, I've already brought it, as for whether it works out or not, it's a matter between you, and as an outsider, I can't interfere." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Consul General, for your understanding." Zhong Yi nodded in gratitude.

"But there's one more thing I can't help but ask." Okamoto Ji Zheng changed his words and said, "As far as I know, your Sassoon Guards are not recruiting ordinary people, but a group of special forces. ”
