Chapter 999: Lin Ye's 1 sentence
The press conference went quite smoothly.
Director Niu had already visited them in advance and gave each reporter ample travel expenses. He also showed some skills and asked the reporter friends in a friendly manner whether their mothers were in good health and whether their children were going to school well. For some reporters from Tokyo, Niu Saner even knew where they lived. It was easy for Xiao Jiang Dagui from Tokyo to investigate such matters.
Therefore, at the press conference, the reporters' questions were strictly reviewed.
No one asked Lin Ze any questions, but Kitahara Ransuke stole the spotlight, with a reporter praising him as the "North China Detective!"
After the press conference, Hide Miura left in disgrace, and no one saw him off.
Ding Mocun was about to leave for home tomorrow, so he took Lin Ze aside and chatted for a while.
Doi was worried because he couldn't go back to Jinling, even though Lin Ze had promised him a deputy chief of staff. But the deputy chief of staff of the front was a senior officer in the core layer. Could he become the chief just because Lin Ze said so?
Lin Ze comforted him, "Doi-kun, don't overthink it. I, Lin, always keep my word. You will take the special train with me to Peking later."
Things have come to this point, and this is the only way. Doi feels that if he returns to Jinling, he will definitely be killed.
I can't go back to Tokyo rashly, so I can only stay in North China for a while and take it one step at a time.
Lin Ze really didn't intend to lie to him. This was a way to show his strength. He just gave him the position of Deputy Chief of Staff, but he wouldn't let him hold real power. He was just keeping him there. But with this precedent, if there is such a thing in the future, other officers will feel at ease to cooperate with Lin Ze.
After noon, the group boarded a special train and headed for Beijing.
In Peiping, the front army soldiers were mobilized in large numbers, together with the military police and auxiliary officers, to block the roads from the front army headquarters to Zhengyangmen Station.
Afterwards, more than a dozen vehicles drove out of the headquarters.
There were many people watching the excitement from afar. Although there was a risk of losing one's head when watching the excitement on such a grand scale, the men and women of Beijing still enjoyed it.
"What are you doing, Japs? Moving?"
"You know shit! Can't you see this road leads to the station? The Japanese officer is going to pick someone up."
"To pick someone up? I saw the car with the plaster flag in the convoy. I'm afraid it doesn't belong to the Japanese general. It's from the village called something. He's going to pick someone up. Could it be that the Japanese emperor is coming?"
"What the hell is that little bastard doing in Peking?"
"Think about it, what kind of place is Peking? It's the imperial city. How can the places of those dwarfs compare to this place? Maybe the Japanese emperor will live here in the future."
"That's it. There will be no good days from now on."
There were also those who had some knowledge but also liked to watch the fun. "Okay, old people, stop worrying about it. The Emperor is coming. Can we watch him from afar? You can't even leave the house! But that car does belong to a Japanese general. Maybe there really is a high-ranking official coming to Beiping, either from Nanjing or Tokyo."
"How about we go to the station and take a look?"
"Go ahead. I'll burn two for you when I visit your grave."
Zhengyangmen Station.
The sky gradually darkened in the evening, but the heat still did not dissipate.
Okamura was wearing a military uniform and a military cap. His forehead was wet with sweat and the fabric on his back was sticking to his body.
An officer wanted to ask him to wait in the station building, but Okamura shook his head.
"Mr. Lin has treated me like a great man, so I should treat him like a great man."
If Lin Ze heard this, he would laugh out loud.
The old Japanese is quite good at setting the scene. This won’t prevent me from killing you later!
If I wasn't afraid that you would suddenly fall and affect my layout in North China, no one would care about your life or death!
With a whistle, the train entered the station.
Okamura straightened his collar, which made the officers behind him nervous.
As for the celebrities from Peking who came to greet them, they didn't even dare to breathe.
Lao Gao was among them. He was so fat that it seemed as if oil and sweat were pouring out of his pores. His whole body was greasy, as if he had crawled out of a frying pan.
I muttered to myself, this is too damn big, could it be that Hata Shungo's grandson has come?
Okamura was as hot as a grandson, and water could be wrung out of his clothes. Who was he trying to pick up?
The train came to a complete stop.
The train attendant opened the door and positioned the pedals.
Then a man walked out. He was tall and had long legs, a thin back and a straight waist, broad shoulders, a perfect figure.
He was dressed in a black uniform, neat and serious, without a hat, and his hair was meticulously groomed.
Okamura took a step forward.
Lin Ze stopped.
"Lin Jun, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Ze nodded and said nothing more.
Everyone was stunned.
What's happening here?
Lin Ze?
Lin Ze became the emperor?
Lao Gao opened his mouth and said, "What the hell, what big thing did my brother Shengmin do in Tianjin? Okamura took us through so much trouble, blocking roads and clearing the area. We were so hot as dogs that we almost hung up our tongues. Just to pick up Lin Ze?"
Kitahara and Doi, who were following behind Lin Ze, were also dumbfounded.
Beiyuan was deeply shocked, and then quickly shattered the last bit of thought in his heart.
Mr. Lin is my half-brother. Mr. Lin has been so kind to me. Whoever dares to go against Mr. Lin is my enemy. I will follow Mr. Lin for the rest of my life. No one can oppose me, not even Okamura or the Emperor. I say this!
In addition to shock, Doi also felt a little regretful.
I shouldn’t have sat on the ground and cried that day. I should have kowtowed to Master Lin twice!
I am so stupid, really. Why didn’t I think about it? How could Mr. Lin, a colonel, dare to make such a promise?
There must be a reason for wearing leather pants over cotton pants!
"General, it's so hot, how dare I ask you to come and greet me in person?"
Okamura smiled with relief, looked at Kitahara behind him, and nodded at him.
Beiyuan was still immersed in his loyalty to Lin Ze, and nodded in return very firmly.
What's wrong with the general? Doesn't the general have to come to welcome my Lord Lin?
Okamura looked at Doi again, and Lin Ze explained, "This is Major General Doi. He made a great contribution to the perfect resolution of this incident. He can't return to Jinling, but I think the General will make a good arrangement for him. The Deputy Chief of Staff is a good choice."
Okamura agreed very much. Since others have made contributions, whether actively or passively, they must be properly arranged, otherwise who will help in the future?
"Lin Jun is right. I'll do as you say. Doi Jun, I'll explain the situation to the headquarters and transfer you to be the Deputy Chief of Staff. You must do your job well in the future!"
Doi really wanted to roar to the sky.
In his eyes, such a big deal was solved by just one sentence from Master Lin?
Okamura pulled Lin Ze's arm and said, "Come on, take a car with me. Mr. Lin, take a good rest for a few days this time. You've been working too hard and diligently. Don't go back to Tianjin for the time being. Just rest well in Peking!"
………………
P.S. I still owe two chapters. I really want to catch up, but I've been incredibly busy these past few days. A lot of family has returned from out of town, and I need to entertain and keep them company. I plan to finish two chapters on the 7th or 8th. This storyline is finished, and I feel like it's pretty good. I'll finish two chapters, and the next storyline will begin soon. Thank you all for your support!
