The towering Empire State Building towers above the earth like a legendary pillar of heaven. Almost no one who saw this building couldn't help but feel a sense of shock.

Without a doubt, the Empire State Building is definitely the tallest and at the same time the grandest building of this era. It may even be one of the grandest buildings in recent history.

And now, seeing Miyazaki and others in the Empire State Building, I have such a sense of shock in my heart.

"Is this the Empire State Building?"

Looking at the magnificent building that could not hide its figure even though there were countless buildings in front of him, a young man behind Miyazaki couldn't help but exclaim.

I once said that there are many reasons why Japan is in a different way, and when it comes to reporting news from China at home, it usually takes a selective approach. To put it simply, we only report on the dark side, and we either don't report on the areas that are proud or shocking, or we just don't report them.

Even to the point where they have to report it, they will try their best to shorten the length of the article, or find some shortcomings in it to belittle it―――――― which is very similar to the media of a certain country on the other side of the strait in the future.

This kind of thing is actually very common in this era, after all, the means of transportation and communication in this era are still very backward, and people's knowledge of the outside world can only be through guò newspapers in most cases.

So even though there is only a small ocean between China and Japan, the Japanese still can't clearly understand what China is like on the other side of the sea.

In fact, the reason why the Japanese regard the Chinese as an inferior people. Isn't it because of the long-term propaganda in Japan that the Japanese people have been brainwashed? This is also the case today, although there are some Japanese news outlets that have experienced the Battle of Shandong and the Korean War. It seems that a change should be made to this mode of reporting, but this change is definitely not something that can be made in a short period of time...

For this reason, when facing China, many Japanese people have inherent ideas and always imagine how backward China is. Well, if it is placed before the formation of the national government, or even when the national government has just been formed. Maybe China really has some of that, but after years of change, albeit only for a few years. Many cities in the country have undergone almost a completely new look

This kind of change is definitely not something that the Japanese can understand, let alone the Japanese, even those foreigners living in China and even Chinese themselves, I am afraid that some people are unable to adapt to this change―――――― not because of anything else. It's because the change is just too fast.

You can imagine it. After some planning, can a tram route be built in just three months with government funding?

There are also those wide roads, and many city roads are even eight-lane roads. Of course, this is the main road, and the road is still only four or two lanes. But even so, it is very surprising to others. After all, many countries in this era are still only two-lane, not to mention two-lane. There are even ancient roads that are many years old...

At least in terms of infrastructure, China is indeed stronger than many countries. There is no doubt about that.

The problem is that the pace of development is too inhuman, and a road can be built in a few months. In less than a year, a building dozens of stories high can be built, which is too easy for people like Miyazaki to visit China...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Seeing Miyazaki's shocked appearance, a slight smile appeared on the face of the official in charge of receiving him.

Although he and his colleagues had to come to receive Miyazaki and his party in person because of the above meaning, it did not mean that they would like Miyazaki. In fact, even if they knew that people like Miyazaki were very different from ordinary Japanese, these officials who came to greet them still felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts. The smiles on his face were all polite, and the kind of alienation became even more obvious, especially after Miyazaki accidentally mentioned Sun Yat-sen's name not long ago.

But on the other hand, although I don't have much affection for Miyazaki and his party, it would be extremely proud of these people who led the way, if they could let these guys from Japan have a good look at China's strength.

Therefore, after seeing Miyazaki monstrous and shocked, an official suddenly pointed to the Empire State Building in the distance and smiled at Miyazaki.

"Look, this is the Empire State Building, the tallest building in our country and the world, and the only building on the same level as him is the No. 2 building in Shanghai. These two buildings are not only the two tallest buildings in the country, but also the two tallest buildings in the world..."

Hearing the official's words full of pride, Miyazaki bowed his head slightly and didn't say anything more. Apparently it has been felt as well.

Although he was slightly disgusted by this in his heart, after glancing at the building in the distance, Miyazaki had to admit that the building in front of him did have something to make these Chinese proud.

"It's a magnificent building..."

"yes!"

Hearing Miyazaki say this, the official with pride written on his face nodded in agreement.

At this time, a younger Japanese asked softly. "Excuse me, I don't know how much it cost to build this building, and if it can recover the cost?"

Glancing at the Japanese man in some surprise, the previous official shook his head. "I'm sorry, I'm not very clear about this question, after all, I'm not from the Yushi Group, so naturally I can't know about such a thing, but right? You don't have to worry about the cost..."

With that, the official glanced back at the Empire State Building, then smiled.

"I'm sure you should know. Nowadays, Yushi Group has become the world's largest business group, and a considerable part of the industry is related to Yushi Group, and in many industries, Yushi Group is even in a monopoly position..."

Hearing the official say this, the others nodded slightly, obviously expressing their agreement.

In fact, this is also true, after all, the current status of Yushi Group. It can be said that it is a household name in the world, and everyone knows it. Even the Japanese side has reported on this behemoth, of course. It's the opposite of nature...

In Japanese media reports, Yushi Group has completely become a tool for Yan Shao to make money for himself. But even so, those people have never denied one thing, that is, Yushi Group is the world's largest business group. It's not just a huge multinational group. And it is involved in many industries, especially some of them are even in a monopoly position, which also makes a lot of money for Yushi Group.

According to the analysis of some foreign media, it is very likely that Yushi Group has even reached the point of being rich and rivaling the country. In this way, the scale of Yushi Group can be imagined...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Seeing that Miyazaki seemed to know this very well, the official nodded and continued. "Generally speaking. This type of building is usually rented out, for example, a room is rented to a company or studio. It is even possible to rent out a certain floor in order to recoup the cost, but the Empire State Building is different, and the Rainstone Group is even different. As one of the largest business groups in the world, it is difficult to find a business group in the world that can match the scale..."

"Not to mention that compared to it, it is very difficult to even get closer, and it is also for this reason that Yushi Group has many industries in the world, and it just needs a large enough headquarters to accommodate one. The Empire State Building in front of you, as grand and vast as it is, is not even enough to meet the needs of the Rainstone Group itself. ”

Hearing the official say this, after glancing at the almost towering Empire State Building in the distance, a trace of shock flashed in the eyes of Miyazaki and the others, obviously unable to believe that such a magnificent building could not meet the needs of the Yushi Group.

However, what the official just said is indeed the truth...

Because for the current Yushi Group, this building really can't meet his needs.

"That's why Yushi Group has built another similar building in Shanghai, which is specially used to share the burden and some business of this building..."

"In addition, as I just said, the usual way to recover the cost of this kind of building is to rent out some floors or rooms and other things inside, so as to recover the cost, although the construction cost of this kind of building is very high, but after a long time, the cost will naturally be recovered."

"But the Rainstone Group is different, because they don't even have enough for their own use, how can they rent it out, so almost all the rooms and floors are owned by the group, even so, it's not a big deal for the group, because this company is too profitable, although the cost of building the Empire State Building is a lot, but it's nothing for the Rainstone Group, so even if it's only for their own use, it's okay, and most importantly, for the Rainstone Group, Rather than renting out the building and making a little money, it is better to use it to enhance the group's operational capabilities, and to increase the group's income in this way..."

"Although no one knows how strong the profitability of the Rainstone Group is, one thing is still clear, that is, the profitability of this group may not be much less than the government's fiscal revenue, in other words, even if it only increases the profitability of one percent, it will far exceed the little income brought by the Empire State Building..."

After listening to the official's words, Miyazaki and the others were silent for a long time, especially Miyazaki himself.

After glancing up at the Empire State Building in the distance, despite the official's previous account, the shock in the hearts of Miyazaki and the others did not diminish in the slightest.

As mentioned earlier, the media in Japan usually prefer to be selective. That is, to pick out the dark side of China to report. As for the rest...

Hey, hey, hey...

But as I said before, there are some things that you can turn a blind eye to, but there are some things that you can't avoid. This is the case with the Empire State Building.

After all, the Empire State Building is also the tallest building in the world, and the appearance of such a building is impossible to ignore in any case.

While the Empire State Building was under construction, the global media was already covering it. Later, when the Empire State Building was completed, the media from all over the world flocked to it, and how could the Japanese media turn a blind eye in this situation...

And for the tallest building in the world. Those Japanese reporters who went to China, just like Miyazaki now, were full of shock!

But the shock is the shock. If they don't want to be unemployed when they return home, they have to keep their mission in mind.

Therefore, when reporting, Japanese reporters used not very good photos as covers, and on the other hand, they constantly picked thorns in the existence of the Empire State Building itself.

Not a good photo. It can wipe out the original sense of shock of the Empire State Building. And the act of picking and thorning. It has a direct effect―――――― for example, how much money is estimated to have been spent on this Empire State Building, and how many places in China are currently very poor, and what will happen if this money is invested in these places...

At least after seeing the almost disparate photographs in the newspapers and the Japanese journalists' own provocative behavior, the vast majority of Japanese people don't have much of an impression of the Empire State Building.

Miyazaki had read these kinds of newspapers before, and he had also seen the kind of photos that were deliberately taken that way, so in his mind, the Empire State Building was just a relatively tall building. But he didn't expect the so-called [Empire State Building] to be such a magnificent building.

"The nation that was able to build such a building must be an exceptionally great nation..."

I don't know how long it was silent. Miyazaki said with a lot of emotion.

Behind his back, the other followers also showed the same expressions.

However, after sighing for a while, looking at the official, Miyazaki's monstrous face also showed a look of puzzlement.

"Speaking of which, Your Excellency is......... I didn't expect you to know so many things? ”

After speaking, he looked at the official, and a trace of doubt appeared on Miyazaki's monstrous face.

At least in his opinion, ordinary people should not know such information, so Miyazaki began to calculate in his heart who this official in front of him was.

However, as if he saw Miyazaki's monstrous thoughts, the official smiled loudly and then spoke. "Your Excellency doesn't need to think too much, I'm just an ordinary official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as for why I know so much..."

After looking down and thinking for a moment, the official walked over to the car in which Miyazaki had been riding earlier, and then took out a newspaper from the car.

"Here, it's all written on it...", and the official had already handed the newspaper to Miyazaki.

Although Chinese and Japanese are very different, Miyazaki has lived in China for a long time anyway, and it is no problem to read the contents of the newspaper. So it was almost effortless, and Miyazaki read the contents of the newspaper.

The content of the newspaper is very simple, some are some recent national events, some are trivial things, and even some international things are shì or something. But at the very end of the newspaper, there was an article similar to what the official had just said.

It's just that unlike what the official just said, the content of this article is obviously richer.

Again, the description needs to be more detailed...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

After reading the article on the last page, Miyazaki finally understood why the seemingly ordinary foreign ministry official in front of him was able to say the above series of words.

However, although it was already known that it was a newspaper report, Miyazaki himself was even more surprised.

"Why can such an article be published in a newspaper in a grand manner, even you..."

Hear Miyazaki say that. The official just now showed a very strange expression. "Why can't I just watch it?"

"But—" After a slight hesitation, Miyazaki pointed to the article. You're not publishing this..."

In Miyazaki's opinion, the content of this article is very detailed. Many of the number jù are almost at the bottom of the Rainstone Group. As we all know, the Yushi Group is owned by Yan Shao, how can this kind of behavior be tolerated, and it is even more publicized in the newspaper.

After understanding Miyazaki's monstrous doubts, the official was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly. "But you're worried about this, and it's not you Japan on our side. Basically, as long as it's not an article suspected of incitement, no one will be looking for trouble, even if there are many things exposed in this article..."

When I say that. The official smiled slightly bitterly in his heart.

Because he knows very well that at present, it is not that the domestic public opinion does not want to be controlled, but that there is no way to control it. At present, many newspapers in the country are actually located in the concessions, although the government of the Nationalist government has taken back many rights from the hands of the foreign powers. But the concession was never recaptured.

And as long as the concession cannot be recaptured. The government of the Nationalist Societies could not control the newspapers of the war...

On the other hand, some officials in the Nationalist government were happy to see this, after all, this era still believes in freedom of speech to a greater or lesser extent.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

After listening to the diplomat's explanation, a trace of envy appeared on the faces of Miyazaki and the others.

Although there seems to be some freedom on the Japanese side, it is usually very awkward if you are considered dangerous by the Japanese government. The same is true of the original Miyazaki, who has been in trouble in the process of living in Japan because he has become a dangerous element and has been monitored by the Japanese government.

This was the case until the defeat of the Korean War. It was only after a change in the attitude of the public at Xiyuan Temple that it was reversed.

"Alright, I'll take you to the presidential palace first. I believe that on the side of the presidential palace, the president, they have been waiting for a long time..."

Seeing that Miyazaki was still shocked by the grandeur of the Empire State Building, it seemed that they felt that they should not continue to delay time here, and the official just now spoke on the side.

It seems that he has indeed been delayed here for a long time, and after a little muttering, Miyazaki nodded and said. "Alright, let's go now..."

As Yan Shao's honored guests, Miyazaki is naturally treated with extremely high treatment, at least the kind that ordinary people absolutely can't enjoy. In particular, Miyazaki's status in Japan is very embarrassing, and many Japanese right-wingers want to assassinate him.

Although Yan Shao did not think at all that the Japanese right-wingers could be so powerful as to assassinate Miyazaki's monstrous party in China. But in any case, it's always good to be properly protected.

So in the train station, the police, the special affairs department, and many other departments have sent people here. But even so, when Miyazaki and they came out of the train station, the overwhelming flashing lights still made Miyazaki and others blind for a while...

The sudden appearance of the flash of "I ........." almost made the diplomats who accompanied Miyazaki burst into foul language. It's no wonder, because the flash at this moment is so dazzling, so dazzling that he can barely see anything.

Not only him, but everyone else, and even the journalists around him.

Although Miyazaki's monstrous Koya Association is still only a small organization in Japan, its leader is of great interest to the Chinese. It is precisely because of this relationship that after learning the news of Miyazaki's monstrous visit to China, a large number of reporters have begun to squat.

The one in Tianjin is only the first batch, but this is the second batch of those who are waiting for the rabbit.

However, before they could gather around and ask Miyazaki about the topics they were interested in, a large number of police officers and members of the Secret Service had already surrounded them, isolating them from Miyazaki's party and preventing them from having any contact with each other.

This behavior made Miyazaki and his entourage couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, if they were surrounded by reporters, it would not be easy to get out.

So surrounded by many people, Miyazaki and his entourage got into the car that the national government had prepared. Take the car to Yan Shao's presidential palace...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

When Miyazaki arrived at Yan Shao's presidential palace, although he had seen the Empire State Building, Miyazaki was still shocked by the majestic presidential palace.

If the Empire State Building is astounding. If it is because of his tallness, then the presidential palace is because of his grandeur. The magnificent presidential palace makes almost everyone feel a sense of insignificance, as if they are very small.

This is definitely not determined by the height, but by the design style...

For this building, Miyazaki is naturally no stranger to the Empire State Building. Because in the Japanese newspapers, there has never been a shortage of reports about this presidential palace. It's just that these kinds of reports are usually negative. For example, how much money was spent on this presidential palace, what would happen if it was used to invest it in other more useful places, and what would happen if it was used to build battleships. Chinese just like waste, like this kind of gorgeous appearance in fact, nothing useful how how ...

Although Miyazaki himself does not trust his country's media very much, there is a saying that lies are told a thousand times and becomes the truth. Therefore, although I don't want to believe it. But Miyazaki's monstrous heart was still somewhat affected...

And in the monstrous opinion of Miyazaki. It's really a thing you shouldn't do to waste money to get something like this...

However, after seeing the grandeur of this building, Miyazaki's monstrous attitude has changed somewhat.

And when the motorcade drove into the gate of the presidential palace and came to the steps of the presidential palace, the official who had been sitting in the passenger seat of Miyazaki's monstrous car was surprised, because he actually saw Yan Shao and many officials of the national government standing in front of the steps, waiting quietly in the cold wind――――――Okay. If you stomp your feet from time to time, it can be considered quiet.

Seeing Yan Shao actually standing in front of the steps and waiting, it was not just others. Even Miyazaki and others were taken aback. After all, the current Xingya Association is just a very ordinary small organization, and just being invited by Yan Shao has already made Miyazaki feel flattered, not to mention...

But soon, as the car stopped, Miyazaki and others stepped out of the car.

And after noticing the figure of Miyazaki monstrous and others, although it was only the first time he saw Miyazaki, Yan Shao still walked down with a warm smile and held Miyazaki's monstrous hands tightly with both hands.

"Mr. Miyazaki, Yan is the name of Mr. Old Wen, but he has never had the opportunity to meet Mr., and now it is really Yan's honor to meet Mr.!" Saying this, Yan Shao, who was already smiling enthusiastically, shook Miyazaki's monstrous hands even harder.

And it seems that he was impressed by Yan Shao's enthusiasm and sincerity, and Miyazaki's monstrous face also had a hint of emotion.

It should be noted that just when Yan Shao and Miyazaki's monstrous hands were tightly clasped together, a large group of reporters were also aiming their cameras at the two of them, and then in a flash of light, although the snow around the presidential palace has basically been swept away, but in the eyes of others, the surroundings of the presidential palace are still white, and even the presidential palace, which should have been gray, has become white...

This time, there are many more reporters blocking next to the presidential palace than at the train station and Tianjin...

On the other hand, Yan Shao, who was also flashed for a while, after his eyesight recovered a little, he directly took Miyazaki's monstrous hand and walked towards the presidential palace, and Yan Shao's appearance also made the surrounding reporters murder their films again...

While some reporters were taking pictures, they had even thought about the topic of today's news.

【The Dawn of Sino-Japanese Friendship】

That's right, at least in their eyes, Yan Shao and Miyazaki's monstrous appearance is now a ray of friendship between China and Japan, illuminating the relationship that has become sinister because of the war...

After all, how many people are willing to fight, after all, fighting a war is not a game, it is a desperate battle. Although China seems to have won this time, the casualties still make the Chinese people feel a shocking feeling, so if there is peace, it is better to be peaceful...

Moreover, the proposition of the Xingya Association is also more appetizing to the United Nations. Unite all East Asian countries that can unite against the Western colonizers. Such a proposition is very popular in China today.

Looking at the whole of East Asia, it seems that Japan is the only country that can come in handy.

Because of this, most of the people in the country are interested in the arrival of Miyazaki's monstrous party. It is welcome. However, there is a principled issue that must not be ambiguous, and that is the question of who is the boss.

Fortunately, Miyazaki also made it very clear that this position is the most suitable for China, if it were not for this, I am afraid he may not be able to receive such a welcome.

On the other hand, after noticing the flashing lights around him, Yan Shao was also proud in his heart while pulling Miyazaki to the presidential palace. He would have shown such enthusiasm. Naturally, it's a show.

As for the object, it's the brainless elements in Japan.

Although Yan Shao doesn't like those brainless right-wingers very much, he has to admit it. Yan Shao really needs Japan's help right now, so if it can be used as a way to show off in exchange for the other party's favor, Yan Shao is still more willing.

Of course. Yan Shao also considered the way to beat Japan into ruins. to force the Japanese to be their own lackeys.

It's just that for Yan Shao, a powerful Japan is what he needs, if he doesn't have the strength, then what's the difference with Thailand and other countries. Second, this is not World War II, and China does not have an atomic bomb, so if it wants to cripple Japan, or even occupy Japan. Even China has to pay an unimaginable price, and this is definitely not Yan Shao's willingness. In addition, Britain and the United States are likely to get in the way, Yan Shao can only choose this more gentle way...

It is also because of this relationship that Yan Shao ran to the outside of the presidential palace early to wait, not hesitating to be blown by the cold wind. Fortunately, he was dressed warmly, and it was nothing.

But on the other hand, Yan Shao, who felt that he was putting on a show and should not involve his own women to suffer with him, did not take Elaline and the others to the steps of the presidential palace to wait...

Because in Yan Shao's view, this kind of sin is enough to eat alone, and there is no need to implicate his wife at all.

In any case, Yan Shao's strategy was still very successful, at least after Yan Shao took his hand and pulled the presidential palace closer, Miyazaki's monstrous face was always full of moving expressions.

If it were a different occasion, I am afraid that Miyazaki would have died as a confidant!

Even now, there are tears in the corners of Miyazaki's monstrous eyes.

On the other hand, after noticing that his party was being taken very seriously, the followers of Miyazaki's monstrous and the other members of the Xingya Association also showed excited expressions.

Although in the eyes of many Japanese, Yan Shao is a devil. But I have to admit that China did re-emerge with the help of Yan Shao.

Therefore, while seeing Yan Shao as a devil, the Japanese also attach great importance to Yan Shao, especially after the end of the Korean War, the Japanese regard Yan Shao as a heroic figure like Cao Cao―――――― although Yan Shao has always felt that there is still a big gap between himself and Cao Cao, well, the gap is definitely not small.

And now such a great person, so attached to their party, even if the current relationship between China and Japan is very complicated, this still makes them feel very excited.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After pulling Miyazaki to a meeting room, Yan Shao first motioned for Miyazaki to sit down opposite him, and then sat down in the position he usually sit.

Then, without even commanding, the staff had already served the two of them something to drink.

Yan Shao is naturally his favorite juice, and what is served to Miyazaki is a cup of tea that he likes to drink―――――― although the Special Affairs Bureau is not omnipotent, but it is true that few things can escape the attention of the Special Affairs Bureau, and therefore, some of Miyazaki's monstrous preferences are basically in the hands of the Special Affairs Bureau.

So there is no need for Miyazaki to bring it up himself, and the following has been prepared according to the results of the investigation, and some of Miyazaki's favorite things have been prepared...

Such intimate service naturally doubled Miyazaki's monstrous favorability, and Yan Shao on the other side was also greeting Miyazaki with a warm, but at the same time, not offensive. This is also one of the skills that Yan Shao has exercised over the years, if it was before the crossing, Yan Shao would definitely not have this ability, but after seventeen years, Yan Shao is already thirty-seven years old, and this thing is nothing to Yan Shao...

Yan Shao and Miyazaki had a lot of pleasantries, including the inexplicable storm that Miyazaki and his party suddenly encountered on the way across the sea.

After hearing about the storm, Yan Shao was first happy that Miyazaki was able to escape from such a storm, and then told some stories about the storm he encountered back then.

As one of the most powerful countries in the world and the leader of China, many of Yan Shao's stories are well known to the world. For example, when he was writing novels in Marseille, he finally kidnapped the niece of the owner of the publishing house, and finally was publicly threatened by the father of the abductor that as long as he was caught, he would definitely die a miserable death.

Then there is the discovery of oil in Mexico, which led to a large amount of money.

There is also the story of researching inventions in New York and obtaining funds to buy oil fields in Mexico through a series of inventions.

However, in the early series of stories, the most talked about is nothing else, but Yan Shao encountered a storm in the process of elopement with his lover, and finally drifted to a small island, and then lived with two women, and finally succeeded in achieving the long-cherished wish of double flying...

This story can be said to be the most talked-about one of Yan Shao's series of legendary stories. Therefore, Miyazaki is so monstrous that it is very clear that Yan Shao has indeed encountered a storm.

However, when he heard Yan Shao tell this story again, Miyazaki didn't know whether he should be happy that Yan Shao escaped death, or regret why he didn't die in the storm, or whether he stayed on the island and was never discovered...

Although Miyazaki has always hoped to help China become a strong country again, on the other hand, he is also a Japanese after all, and the reason why Japan has become so depressed at the moment can be said to be entirely because of Yan Shao's relationship, so from another point of view, if Yan Shao did not appear, but died in the storm, how perfect would it be...

In this way, at least Japan will not have to suffer a series of failures...

Fortunately, Miyazaki quickly threw this thought out of his mind, and on the other hand, looking at Miyazaki, Yan Shao's face was full of respect.

Regardless of which country Miyazaki is from, at least one thing is certain, that is, whether in history or in his time, Miyazaki has always helped China in his own way.

For such a person, even if it is Japanese, Yan Shao has the same respect.

It's just that just when Yan Shao began to shift the topic to a place where both of them were more interested, a person suddenly ran in outside, first walked quickly to Yan Shao's side, and then narrated some things in Yan Shao's ear.

At the same time, Miyazaki, who was sitting on the side, was very polite and leaned back slightly, posing as an unintentional eavesdropper...

Even so, there is always a trace of curiosity in Miyazaki's heart. But just when Miyazaki was curious about what Yan Shao and that person were talking about, he heard Yan Shao slap his thigh with his palm with some excitement!

"Okay!"

These two words startled the person next to Yan Shao and Miyazaki who was wondering in his heart.

What that person said to Yan Shao was the matter of the Persian oil field... (To be continued......)
