Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Kinuo Fumi? Of course, he also heard the change in the emperor's tone, and gave a bitter smile to Hirota Koki who was looking at him, then bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, as Prime Minister, I agree with General Sugiyama Moto's proposal. It is the best way to let General Takazaki come out and apologize.

But at the same time, I am also considered Takuto's elder. From an elder's perspective, I think this is just a misunderstanding caused by children playing around.

Now facing the French's relentless pressure, the Empire actually needs to ask a child to apologize. Even if it appeases the French, it will damage the Empire's reputation. "

Kinuo Fumi's answer made several people present look over at him.

Listen to what he said. As the Prime Minister, he called Takuto Takazaki "General Takazaki" and shamelessly said that Sugiyama Hajime's proposal was a good idea.

But he turned around and said that he was Takuto's elder and called Takuto Takasaki a child! Is there a 20-year-old child? Who can have a major general child?

Of course, I think so in my heart, but I will definitely not say it out loud.

"Oh, so the Prime Minister means that he agrees with Sugiyama Moto's proposal?" the Emperor asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, as the Prime Minister, I can only agree with Sugiyama Moto's proposal." Chikao Fumio said, looking up at Sugiyama Moto with a sarcastic smile on his face.

Hearing Chikao Fumi's approval, the Emperor nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Sugiyama Moto and said, "Sugiyama Moto, now that we have someone to apologize, do we need to follow the French request for compensation and so on?"

Sugiyama's neck stiffened, and he said with a straight face: "Compensation, what compensation? Apologizing to the French is already giving them face.

Your Majesty, you can ask the Foreign Minister to tell the French not to push their luck any further. If they really dare to dispatch their fleet, the Empire will immediately attack the French Concession!

Didn't Minet just say that the navy's cannons are all rusty? We can let the combined fleet go to the South China Sea for a stroll, fry some fish at sea to improve the scarce food, and by the way, intimidate those Gauls!"

"Sugiyama Gen! Do you mean that our navy's warships are fishing boats? And they fry fish! Do you want me to give you two?" Mitsumasa Yonai lowered his head, rolled up his eyelids to reveal a pair of cold eyes, and said in a bad tone.

"Okay, stop talking about those irrelevant things!" The emperor waved his hand impatiently, then looked at Hirota Koki and said, "Go back first and tell the French ambassador about the empire's attitude. If they agree, we will let Takuto Takazaki go to the French Concession in Tianjin and apologize to the consul general in person.

If the French still refuse to give in, then repeat what Shanshan Yuan just said to the French ambassador.

That's it for now. We'll talk about it after the Foreign Minister has communicated with the French! Yuasa Kurahira, come with me." The Emperor said, and stood up to leave the meeting room.

In the corridor of the Imperial Palace, the Emperor walked in front, and Yuasa Kurahira followed closely behind him.

Arriving at the door of a lounge, the Emperor stopped and said, "Everyone else please leave first. I have something to talk to Yuasa Kurahira."

Upon hearing this, the servants bowed and retreated.

The emperor reached out, opened the shoji door, and walked straight in.

"Your Majesty! Is there something you want me to stay for?" After entering the room, Yuasa Kurahira saw the emperor standing in the middle of the room with his back to him, motionless, so he asked carefully.

"How's the investigation going on with the thing you asked me to investigate?"

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Yuasa Kurahira asked tentatively. The emperor usually gave him many tasks to do, so for a moment he really didn't know which one he was talking about.

"Just now, Sugiyama Moto suggested that Takuto Takazaki come out and apologize. What do you think?" The Emperor did not answer Yuasa Kurahira, but asked back.

"This, I think he may have said it unintentionally."

"Haha, that's ridiculous. Sugiyama Gen is the Minister of the Army, would he talk nonsense? Yuasa Kurahira, don't be so short-sighted!" After the emperor said this, he turned around and said coldly.

"I am incompetent, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Yuasa Kurahira quickly knelt down and said.

The emperor turned around and looked down at Yuasa Kurahira who was kneeling on the ground, and asked calmly: "How is the investigation of the nobles going?"

This time, with the Emperor's reminder, Yuasa Kurahira knew what the man in front of him wanted to know, and after hesitating for a moment, he spoke. "Your Majesty, after a secret investigation, it was found that the nobles were indeed transferring funds.

They increased their investment in other countries. Although they did not directly purchase industries, they did purchase shares in many companies in other countries.

Among them, the largest aristocratic families in the empire seem to be collectively very interested in foreign mineral resources. They are cooperating with international investment institutions, multinational mining companies and resource-rich country companies through the "participating but not controlling" approach.

For example, in South America, the imperial nobles provided technology and funds to local mining companies in exchange for shares in these companies. They then shipped the produced ore and other resources back to their country and sold them at high prices. The profits were used to continue increasing investment in other countries.

If the empire continued in this way, although it gained a large amount of resources, the funds were continuously transferred abroad by the nobles.

In the short term, it seems that the empire has not suffered any loss, but can obtain sufficient war resources. However, over time, when the empire's funds are exhausted, the nobles will definitely not provide resources to the empire for free.

When the time comes... " Having said this, Yuasa Kurahira did not dare to continue speaking, but carefully raised his head to glance at the emperor's expression.

But the Emperor's face looked ugly to begin with, and Yuasa Kurahira couldn't tell anything.

"Nobles and the military, have you found out anything?" The emperor's cold voice continued to be heard, causing Yuasa Kurahira to tremble involuntarily.

The emperor's voice was so cold that even Yuasa Kurahira could hardly stand it and felt a chill in his heart.

"The nobles and the military seem to have reached some consensus. No matter what resources the nobles bring back from abroad, the military will buy them at a high price. They also turn a blind eye to the fact that the nobles invest large sums of money abroad." Yuasa Kurahira said carefully.

"Hehehe, hahaha!" When the emperor heard this, he suddenly laughed neurotically.

The emperor stopped laughing only when Yuasa Kurahira was frightened. It was unknown whether he was laughing or angry. His face turned red, his eyes flashed with coldness, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I underestimated those old men in the military, and I also underestimated those old foxes in the nobles!"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Yuasa Kurahira asked in confusion.

The emperor lowered his head and looked at Yuasa Kurahira with contempt. Although Yuasa Kurahira was loyal to the royal family and capable in his work, he was always behind in terms of thinking. This made the emperor feel that he lacked a smart person around him.

"The military is using the French Concession to test the nobles' reactions and find a new balance between them and the nobles!

Since the two sides are working together tacitly, the original balance has been broken, and they need to reposition their respective bottom lines." The emperor sneered.
