Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police
Chapter 403 Setting up a tent
"No, Mr. Consul General, don't get me wrong! I don't mean to say that there is anything wrong with this place. On the contrary, this house is so beautiful!
Compared to our Takazaki family’s mansion in Kyoto, it looks even more gorgeous and spectacular!
So I am curious to ask, how much did your consulate spend to purchase it?"
Zhou Zhengqing explained quickly, his words full of amazement.
"Hahahaha... Master Takazaki, you really know how to joke! Everyone knows that the Takazaki family owns a large manor in Kyoto. It's not a place that ordinary people can easily step into!
Although the houses of the empire are designed with traditional wooden structures, it is a unique architectural style that has been passed down from ancient times in our great empire.
In my opinion, if I were to make a choice, I would actually prefer to live in a house like ours that has strong Japanese style.
After all, although these Western-style houses do look quite beautiful and exquisite, they are ultimately incomparable to the unique charm of the traditional imperial architecture! "
Horiuchi Kanjo had a faint smile on his face and subtly praised the Takazaki family, but he cleverly avoided the question raised by Zhou Zhengqing about the cost of purchasing the house.
Seeing that Jue Nei Gancheng was obviously unwilling to disclose relevant information, Zhou Zhengqing naturally tactfully stopped asking further questions.
He paused for a moment and then continued, "Mr. Consul General, since you just said that this property is only beautiful on the surface, would you allow me to make some modifications here?"
"Reform?" Jue Nei Gan Cheng asked puzzledly.
"Oh, that's what happened. In two days, another large group of military police will arrive in Tianjin from China.
In this case, the existing houses around here may not be able to accommodate so many people.
In my opinion, can the greenhouse in the garden and the servants' rooms on both sides of the lawn be slightly renovated and put to good use?
After all, the gendarmes do not have high requirements for accommodation conditions, as long as they have a place to stay.
Of course, if possible, it would be best to accommodate the entire brigade of military police. They are all the soldiers I trust the most. When I was in Harbin, I stayed among them. Now that I am in Tianjin, I also hope not to be too far away from the soldiers.
If the space in the greenhouse and servants' quarters is really limited, then it would be feasible to build some temporary shelters on the lawn."
While Zhou Zhengqing was explaining the situation, he raised his hand and pointed to the inconspicuous servants' rooms on both sides of the garden.
After hearing this, Horiuchi Kanjou showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and he stammered in response: "Uh... Master Yingqi, I don't think this seems to be necessary?
Even if these houses really can’t accommodate so many gendarmes, I can always go to the streets to find other suitable houses.”
As he spoke, he unconsciously turned his gaze towards the beautiful and exquisite garden in the park, with obvious reluctance in his eyes. It was obvious that he did not want to see this beautiful garden being damaged in any way because of the renovation of the house.
At this time, the gendarmes were gathering on the street, and Zhou Zhengqing spoke loudly. When some gendarmes who were nearby heard Zhou Zhengqing say that they were the soldiers he trusted the most, they immediately straightened their chests and almost raised their heads to the sky.
This was an affirmation from the superior, who was also from a noble family and was even willing to share the beautiful French garden with him.
Although they did not live in that beautiful French-style building, they lived in the same garden with their superiors, and they felt very honored!
Jue Nei Gan Cheng looked at Zhou Zhengqing in silence. He was about to say something when Zhou Zhengqing said, "Your Excellency the Consul General, if you don't have the manpower to renovate this place, I can ask my family's business in Tianjin to do it. If that doesn't work, my soldiers can do it themselves.
Although they are not professional construction workers, they can still build some recommended houses.”
After hearing this, Jue Nei Gancheng's heart tightened suddenly. How could he dare to let those ferocious gendarmes under Zhou Zhengqing take action?
You know, this is the best villa in the Japanese Concession.
If it was wantonly destroyed by Zhou Zhengqing's men, he would be heartbroken.
Juenei Gancheng knew very well that Zhou Zhengqing would not stay in Tianjin forever.
He was going to move with the Japanese army. In a few months, he might just leave and follow the main force to other cities.
After careful consideration, Jue Nei Gancheng decided that it would be more appropriate to find some people to build two rows of simple wooden dormitories.
In this way, it can not only temporarily meet the accommodation needs of Zhou Zhengqing and others, but also be easy to dismantle after Zhou Zhengqing leaves in the future.
"Master Yingqi, there is no need to trouble your men. Just give me two days and I will ensure that the military police can move in."
"Haha, that's great, thank you so much! In this way, the houses outside the street can be reserved for the new gendarmes who will arrive here.
After all, they all just came from China. They are new here and unfamiliar with the place. It will definitely take them some time to slowly adapt to the environment here.
Although some of the military police under my command have just arrived in China, they have already received a lot of training in Harbin.
Let them build tents in the garden for the time being." Zhou Zhengqing explained with a smile and a relaxed tone.
Hearing this, Horiuchi Kanjou couldn't help but widen his eyes and blurted out in astonishment: "Set up a tent!?"
He couldn't believe what he heard, and muttered to himself: "What on earth is this Master Yingqi thinking? He actually chose to let his soldiers live in tents. Does he really like staying with his soldiers?
Are you really that cowardly? You have to blend in with the soldiers!"
Is Zhou Zhengqing timid? If you ask him this question, he will definitely shake his head like a rattle and answer firmly: "No!" Because in his heart, he is definitely not a timid person.
You know, he has watched too many anti-Japanese dramas! Although the villains in those dramas sometimes die at home, if you think about it carefully, if they are protected by many soldiers around them, the situation will be very different!
Unless the person who comes is the kind of ruthless guy who dares to bet that the other party has no bullets in his gun, generally speaking, as long as people stay among the army, there is basically no danger.
After all, who would be so stupid as to charge into someone else's army to assassinate them? It would be tantamount to seeking death!
This is Tianjin, and it is also the territory of the Chinese government. Who can guarantee that no one will jump out to deal with us?
Therefore, in Zhou Zhengqing's opinion, it is safer to stay among the military police and be heavily protected.
