Chapter 390 - Unattractive Chips
Ten hours after receiving the order, Kaede Hoshino waited for the plane to land on a foldable soft sofa in the VIP lounge covered with a blanket.
Gin's order for Kaede Hoshino to come back was a little late (12:30 a.m. in Japan is equivalent to 4:30 p.m. the day before Lisbon and Kaede Hoshino are located, Madeira). So if you want to take a Lufthansa flight at 6pm on the same day, it's too late (it will take a while to get from Madeira to Lisbon, so two hours is definitely not enough to do these things). So the staff finally arranged a plane for Kaede Hoshino at half past five in the morning the next day.
In order to be able to adapt to the jet lag caused by different time zones immediately after returning to Japan, Hoshino Kaede deliberately started to take a break early to adjust his biological clock.
This time the field mission was quite delicate in every sense of the word, both in terms of the content of the mission and the person he was chosen to carry it out.
Although the public media had unanimously said that Mandela had come to Madeira early to attend a conference hosted by South Africa to launch a revolutionary new type of diplomatic and commercial cooperation with other countries, Mandela was not idle - at least Okakura Masaaki was able to prove that Nagisa-sen, as one of the spokesmen of the light industry chaebol in the Kanto region, personally observed Mandela's secret negotiations with the current cabinet, which is enough to prove that Mandela secretly visited Japan. (and perhaps others)
Since the whole negotiation is a secret activity, at most it is only an official agreement with South Africa, and the specific commercial cooperation also needs to be negotiated by representatives of the alliance formed by the chaebol or handicraftsmen who do not know about it and the relevant personnel in South Africa - in view of the fact that the domestic order in South Africa has not yet been completely stabilized, the Mandela government finally arranged public diplomatic activities and subsequent commercial negotiation activities in Madeira, Portugal.
One of the purposes for Hoshino Kaede to be placed here is to ensure that the agreements they reach will not affect the interests of other chaebols under the control of the organization, based on the direct and strong control of the representatives who come to negotiate, and the second purpose is to find out the information of other countries about spiritual consumer goods and disclose them to the foreign trade united front personnel of a certain country (I mentioned this in Chapter 302, the main reason why Hoshino Kaede came was because the organization was entrusted to consolidate the Mandela regime. to ensure that the employer of the employing organization can beat out other countries in the field of spiritual consumer goods and get a large enough share.
But why him? If it is really in terms of pure action and negotiation skills, there are at least three more suitable candidates in the organization than him, and those who can speak Portuguese in the organization must be much more reliable in this task than he is in this task......
At that moment, his phone rang suddenly.
“?” Kaede Hoshino frowned and looked at the notes on the phone screen.
【Irish】
What did he come to himself for now? I don't know him very well, and I saved his mobile phone number just for show, and I didn't communicate at all......
Frowning, Kaede Hoshino answered the phone. "What's wrong?"
"Do you have a helicopter on hand in Tokyo that you can mobilize?" Irish asked on the other end of the phone. "Around 11:30 p.m. Tokyo time on July 7."
"......" Kaede Hoshino's brow furrowed even tighter. Yes, but what are you going to do? ”
"I need to do a transport mission," Irish replied. "But I can't call on the Order's helicopter through open channels, because I have to keep Gin a secret."
"Why?" Kaede Hoshino asked. "It's better to give me a reasonable reason, otherwise I can't provide it to you."
"......" the other side was silent for a moment before speaking. I've found out that Gin most likely took the first fault in a previous mission, causing significant damage. So I want to use this to deal that hypocritical bastard a hard blow! ”
The corners of Kaede's mouth twitched—even over the phone, he could imagine Irish gritting his teeth on the other side.
"Is it really such a ferocious blow?" Kaede Hoshino asked. "Fierce enough to open the back door for you, even if you come to me, someone who doesn't know you very well?"
"I just don't think you're going to like that posturing guy," said Irish on the other end of the phone. "Since I hate that bastard, and you don't like him, we have a basis for cooperation, don't we?"
"......" Hoshino Kaede thought for a moment, but agreed to his request. No problem, where do you need the helicopter to find you? ”
"I don't know," Irish shook his head. "I'll give you an hour or two notice of the location, but I'm still not sure where it is."
"Are you sure you're in Tokyo?" Kaede Hoshino sighed. "Helicopters are just helicopters, not strategic bombers, and they can't fly all over Japan."
"Yes in Japan, you can rest assured," Irish replied with a smile. "So, can you give me the contact information of the pilot of that helicopter?"
"Okay," Kaede Hoshino nodded. "I'll send you the contact information by text message, and don't forget to delete the text message when you get in touch."
…………
Hanging up the phone, Kaede Hoshino looked at the dim screen of the phone and thought about something.
If it had been before, maybe Kaede Hoshino would have happily lent a helicopter to Irish and then waited for Gin to make a fool of himself.
But this time, Gin had just extended such a valuable olive branch to him......
We expect that everyone will do his duties.
Compared to Nelson's original words, there are three changes in the meaning here.
First of all, there is We Expect - this is the reason Gin used to convince Kaede Hoshino not to lose his temper, because this is the needs of the organization (We expect) and not the needs of Gin personally (expects)
Secondly, it's everyone, compared to the original every man, the scope of inclusion includes women and children - this is the reconciliation treatment promised by Gin personally to Kaede Hoshino, who can only come to negotiate with him tentatively after the information of Chiba and others is locked by Yuan Jiaming.
The reason why Gin used such a wording was to include the two children, Jin Chiyu and Gray Plains. In other words, he promised that the two of them would never be hunted down by the Order.
Finally, there is do his duties, which is a plural of duty compared to the original text, and specifically implies a male (otherwise their duties) compared to the meaning implied in the previous text.
In other words, according to Hoshino Kaede's understanding of Gin's language style, this is what he meant by this sentence.
The Order needs you to come back on an urgent mission, and I'll help you get out of the Order safely, but Icewine must continue to fulfill his responsibilities outside of the system.
"I'm sorry, you made the wrong price," said Kaede Hoshino as he dialed Gin's number.
