Chapter 672 This old devil is definitely China's great enemy
The people in charge of the concessions are the most sensitive to land prices.
Because land prices are related to housing prices, and they are the largest land and property holders in the concession.
The more chaos there is outside, the higher the housing prices in the concessions. For example, in Shanghai, when the Japanese invaders landed, the housing prices in the concessions increased by hundreds or thousands of times!
The British Concession in Tianjin also wants to replicate this kind of "prosperity"!
All the directors and big businessmen looked at the young consul angrily, as if he had committed the most unforgivable crime!
Claude turned pale and said, "Dominic! This is slander!"
"enough!"
The exhausted Sir Dana finally put a stop to the farce.
"Claude, I will explain this to the Consul General. Yes, the money is important to us, but the safety of the concession is the most important thing. Your behavior has crossed the line. Claude, take the responsibility you should bear!"
Claude suddenly became a little crazy!
"Dina! What qualifications do you have to say that my behavior has crossed the line! You downtrodden nobles, you think you are superior just because you have the title of nobility. If you were really superior, why would you come to the Far East to look for opportunities to make a fortune! You just came a little earlier. Don't think I don't know that when you were in London, you were just a poor noble! You caught up with the good times. You sold opium, bought and sold people, and got involved in the business of the concession. That's why you are where you are today. What qualifications do you have to blame me? I was just looking for an opportunity to make a fortune, and this opportunity was snatched away by the Japanese! What's wrong with me wanting to kill him!"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Dana was furious and ordered someone to tie Claude up and take him out.
Dominic felt very happy watching the English people fighting each other.
There is also a chain of contempt in the British Concession. Although they are all big shots, people like Dana have always looked down on "nouveau riche" like Dominic, believing that they have no background and only know how to frantically dump kerosene, bicycles, and cars.
Dominic laughed. So your background is selling opium and human beings?
He raised his hands. "Wait a minute!"
Dana frowned but had to do it.
Who made Dominic the messenger now? Who made him have certain connections in the gendarmerie headquarters?
According to him, he has a private friendship with Major Lin, and Major Lin's tough style left a deep impression on Dana!
Dominic said loudly: "The assassination issue is clear, but what about the gold and silver dollars? Claude, where did you take those things?"
Claude went completely crazy. He struggled desperately, trying to break free from the restraints, screaming and cursing.
"Idiots! You guys are a bunch of idiots! You were all deceived by the Japanese! If I got the gold, would I still send people to kill Naoto Matsuzaki? Idiots!"
Everyone looked at each other.
This makes so much sense!
Dominic smiled disdainfully, looking at the group of English people in front of him. He was certain that the money had definitely been swapped. In order to complete this huge plan, perhaps all the English people present were involved.
What are you acting here!
"I saw the stones in the box. They turned out to be bricks used to repair the All Saints Church. There were patterns on them! Why did you use stones from your English churches? Who did this? Do I need to tell you?"
All Saints Church, also known as the Anglican Church, is an Anglican church built by the English in the concession.
It is true that all the people who go there are English.
Dana frowned and said nothing.
Which bastard took away all that gold and silver dollars!
.................
"Ah!"
In the office, Lin Ze, who was feeding the fish, sneezed several times.
Damn it, there are always villains who want to harm me.
It was not until the evening that Dominic finally came to deliver the message.
Someone did try to assassinate Matsuzaki, and it was none other than Claude. He is willing to take all the responsibility for this, but the Japanese side is requested to believe that this matter has nothing to do with the concession and is entirely Claude's personal behavior.
Lin Ze expressed disdain for this.
If you say it is a personal behavior, then it is a personal behavior!
Claude is a consul, not a temporary worker!
Dominic also made a request, asking if Dana could talk directly to the Lieutenant General at any location.
"I know this may be a bit offensive, but Sir Dana has already established contact with the English Consul General. He hopes to act as an intermediary to ensure that the Consul General's opinions are conveyed without error in order to better resolve this dispute. Lin, you know that the batch of gold and silver is not a small amount. No matter what the final solution is, it will not be reached in a short time."
Lin Ze reported to Okamura truthfully.
Okamura was surprised that such a result could be achieved in such a short period of time.
He thought that he had to continue to exert pressure before the English would give in.
After listening to Lin Ze's report, the first thing that came out of Okamura's mouth was: "The afterglow of the British Empire no longer shines on the Far East, so what about Southeast Asia?"
Then he began to ponder.
Lin Ze cursed in his heart, damn it!
This old devil is definitely a great enemy of China. When the time is right, he must be eliminated!
Lin Ze did not disturb him. After a while, Okamura came back to his senses and chuckled, "Lin-san, you did a good job. Tell Dana that I am willing to meet him."
Lin Ze hesitated and said, "I'm worried about your safety..."
Okamura laughed, "Lin-san, if a person throws away his sword in the face of an enemy, he will not have the courage to pick it up again. Besides, they asked me to choose the location. I think this restaurant is very good. You can arrange it."
Lin Ze nodded helplessly, but his heart was already filled with joy, and he hurried out to make arrangements.
Looking at Lin Ze's back, Okamura nodded slightly.
I originally thought that for a Chinese person to climb to such a position, in addition to his own abilities, he must have engaged in a lot of opportunistic activities.
Now it seems that Lin Ze is indeed a useful person. He is careful in thinking and doing things, has good abilities, and seems to be very loyal.
As for him having the stamp of the Matsuzaki faction...
Gangcun smiled disdainfully. Matsuzaki, that guy, thought he was smart, but could the people who followed him form a faction?
Okamura stretched and closed his eyes to rest.
Will the British make concessions on the issue of the Burma Road?
Lin Ze went out and called Xiao Jiang Dagui, "Arrange a room and remove all the monitoring equipment."
Xiao Jiang Dagui nodded and went on to do it.
Lin Ze called him, "Are all Okamura's attendants at the restaurant?"
"They are all in the restaurant. I have arranged rooms for them."
"Where's the luggage?"
"The luggage is also there. Okamura has a lot of luggage. Two people are watching over it the whole time. They even sleep in that room."
Lin Ze nodded and said, "Go arrange the room first, I'll find you later."
