Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 1000: Lin Jun, You Are Really Brilliant

Lin Ze accepted it calmly.

Be polite when you should be polite. There is no need to be too restrained about such small details. Sometimes, a little bit of overstepping can make you feel like "one of us". How to grasp this degree still needs to be slowly explored in real interactions.

When everyone saw Lin Ze got into the general's car openly, they couldn't help but look at each other.

The methods used by the old devil Okamura are much tougher than those of the previous commanders. Many people within the front army are afraid of him, not to mention the traitors.

In recent years, I have never seen Okamura express such strong admiration, let alone invite anyone to ride in the same car.

Gao Shengping smacked his lips, stood up a little straighter, and put his thumbs on his belt, showing off his power.

Someone, knowing what to do, came up and complimented him, "Master Director, when Master Lin returns this time, I'm sure he'll come to your house to pay him a visit."

This person was also clever. The word "pay a visit" just hit the spot for Gao Shengping.

His left hand was still tucked into his belt, and he waved his right hand imposingly. "Hey, Shengmin, everything about him is good, except that he's a little too particular. Every time he comes back to Peking, he always comes to my house and never comes empty-handed. What do we need at home? Shengmin either brings me new snacks from the market to try, or he brings me some good wine he's found elsewhere to keep me entertained. I'm such a brother..."

Someone else quickly picked up the conversation, "Master Lin is certainly particular, but you're also kind and righteous! Back when you were at the Outer Third District Police Station, Master Lin was stationed at the East Gate Patrol Station. You had a keen eye for talent and were willing to promote him. It's a wonderful story!"

Lao Gao loved talking about the past, and he was even happier now. "Hey! Look, stop talking about the past. Well, leave me a video and I'll treat you to a meal someday. They all said Shengmin was my subordinate back then, but that's not the case at all! I could tell at the time that Shengmin was no ordinary person. We've been calling each other brothers for a long time, and we've been giving each other gifts quite frequently!"

At this time, Wang Mengqun, chairman of the management committee, came over.

"Lao Gao, Lao Gao!"

Gao Shengping was happy to say this, but he also had to give the president face. He raised his hand and saluted, "President, what are your instructions?"

Wang Mengqun put his arm affectionately and said, "Lao Gao, we are not strangers, why should we salute? Look, Master Lin is back, and I wanted to entertain him and show my appreciation. But as you can see, I didn't even have the chance to talk to him before he was taken away by the general. If there is a suitable opportunity in the next few days, could you please invite Master Lin to my house..."

Lao Gao’s vanity was greatly satisfied!

Chairman of the Administrative Committee, the nominal traitor leader in North China, theoretically he could compete with Wang Jingwei in the south!

Even he has to beg me, Lao Gao, for help!

"Okay, okay. Since the president has spoken, how can I not obey? Just set up a table in my villa when the time comes. I'll call you when the date is set."

"Thank you, Lao Gao!"

"You're welcome, President!"

Okamura really did his best to save face this time. The convoy did not even return to the front headquarters, but directly sent Lin Ze to the Lin Mansion.

Looking at the magnificent mansion, Okamura just smiled and said nothing.

After Lin Ze returned home, Okamura instructed his adjutant, "Pick out some ceramics, lacquerware, and other items and send them to Lord Lin's residence."

The bigger and more luxurious Lin Ze's house in Peking was, the more at ease Okamura felt.

What's wrong with living in a former royal palace? Even if it's the imperial city...

The Imperial City is not really suitable, but it is possible to borrow the main hall for holding ceremonies. This is more prestigious than holding it in the Taimiao.

After resting at home for half a day, Lin Ze went to a restaurant that night.

At around seven o'clock, Okamura arrived by car.

There were large ice cubes in the room, making it extremely cool. All kinds of fruits were chilled, and we drank chilled red wine, which was sent from Huang County and tasted very good.

Since there were no outsiders around, Okamura didn't need to maintain any image. He just drank the wine in the glass and let out a long sigh.

"Mr. Lin, I've been trembling with fear these past few days! Tojo is a man of deep scheming, always planning before acting. There's a reason he's risen to this position in just a few years. This time he attacked me with such decisiveness. If Mr. Lin hadn't noticed the clues in time and made plans, I would have been in great danger this time!"

"General, you are too kind. You are blessed by heaven. Those who wish to harm you are just wishful thinking. You, General, are the chosen one who will lead the Empire of Japan forward. Those who try to stand in your way are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

Okamura laughed out loud, perhaps it was the stimulation of the alcohol, or perhaps it was because the suppressed emotions of these days needed an outlet.

"Tojo brat, others don't know why he can become Prime Minister, but I know! His Majesty the Emperor...ah!"

There were rumors among high-ranking officials that the Emperor was actually quite pessimistic about the war situation. It was unclear whether he allowed Tojo to take power at this time because he trusted him, or because he was more suitable for the current situation, or whether he was more suitable to take the blame.

"Mr. Lin, you don't know. Everyone says the Emperor has a keen eye on Tojo. But when it comes to that kind of favor, how could I possibly be any less? Back in Europe, I was introduced by Prince Higashikuni Toshihiko and pledged my loyalty to the then Crown Prince, now the Emperor. I vowed to free the army from the control of the Choshu clan and eliminate that old man, Aritomo Yamagata. Back then, Tojo was just a nobody standing guard outside the gate!"

Lin Ze praised him, "Your Excellency the General has made an invaluable contribution to the empire. If we were to ask who can truly lead the three armies in the future, it would be Your Excellency the General."

Okamura was obviously in a good mood. He blinked and said, "Lin Jun, do you know what conditions Tojo agreed to for me?"

Lin Ze knew it was time to show some wisdom. Okamura relied on him because he thought he was a rare think tank. Now that things were over, it was okay to show off a little. If things were not over, Lin Ze would not say a word.

"I believe Tojo made many concessions, the most important of which was to separate the North China Front Army from the General Headquarters in terms of financial matters, and to receive financial and material support directly from the headquarters."

Okamura was surprised and said, "Mr. Lin, you are really smart!"

"Furthermore, if he approves of our publicity angle and thoroughly defines the foundation's affairs, he might even personally commend this action to prevent others from making a fuss about it in the future."

Okamura opened his mouth wide, "Lin Jun, are you monitoring the telegrams between me and the headquarters?"

Lin Ze smiled and said, "Your Excellency the General is joking. I can only guess these two points."

"Haha, Tojo brat also promised that in the future, military operations involving less than 50,000 troops in the North China Front will not require approval from the headquarters, and the headquarters will also allocate more budget to support the military operations I initiate!"
