"By the way, the Songhu Security Command doesn't know the details of this matter, right?" Sheng Youde asked.
"They don't know. I didn't tell them about this crazy plan of the Japanese. I just told them that Sheng Di colluded with the Japanese to assassinate you and seize the Sheng family's industry. This is also true." Lu Ming said.
"That's good. Don't tell anyone about this matter. Just pretend you don't know. I want to think of a perfect way to negotiate terms with the Japanese," Sheng Youde said.
"You want to negotiate terms with the Japanese? Isn't that asking for the skin of a tiger? What can they promise you?" Lu Ming asked suspiciously.
"Of course it is a condition for Ziyuan and Muyi to return home safely. Why do the Japanese refuse to let Ziyuan back? Isn't it because they have mastered the plan? Once the Japanese successfully implement the plan, there is no need to detain Ziyuan and Muyi.
I admire you so much." Sheng Youde sighed.
"Judging from the current situation, Mu Yi may not be in the hands of the Japanese." Lu Ming reminded.
"Maybe not, but maybe there. We can't know the exact news. For the safety of Ziyuan and Muyi, we can't take risks. I can't afford to lose my daughter and Ziyuan." Sheng Youde shook his head.
"But the power of the government..." Lu Ming still pinned his hope on the Republic of China government to intervene.
"Let me tell you, what will happen if I report this matter to the Republic of China government and leave this matter to the government? First, the government will lodge a solemn protest with the Japanese government, yes, a solemn protest, and the protest will be heard endlessly, and then,
There is no further explanation. The only thing the government can do is to inform the young marshal. What will the young marshal do if he finds out? This is tantamount to passing the blame to Xiao Zhang, what can he do?" Sheng Youdeshe asked.
"Young Marshal is young and energetic, how can he bear such a tone?" Lu Ming didn't believe it.
"What can he do if he can't bear it? The Japanese bombed his father in Huanggutun, but he still endured it. This does not mean that the young marshal is weak. He has hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops and tens of millions of Northeastern soldiers on his shoulders.
It's the common people's responsibility, they have to sacrifice their personal emotions and feelings for the sake of the overall situation." Sheng Youde said with a wry smile.
"According to you, Muyi, Ziyuan, like me, has unrealistic expectations for the Republic of China government?" Lu Ming was still not willing to accept it.
"Yes, don't you think about it, can the young commander attack the Kwantung Army? If he fights with the Kwantung Army, it will be equivalent to declaring that the Republic of China government has fully declared war with Japan. Mr. Jiang will never agree. The Republic of China government has no strength to fight Japan.
Confrontation." Sheng Youde analyzed.
"Then we can't just watch the Japanese plan succeed." Lu Ming said he couldn't understand.
"In other words, the Marshal can only protest. What will the Japanese side do? They will deny it completely. Don't mention it. The Japanese government probably really doesn't know about this. This plan is entirely possible for the Kwantung Army.
A small group of people did it themselves, for the honor and military merit of the so-called Imperial Japanese soldiers." Sheng Youde said disdainfully.
"It can't be like this. I've also heard that the Japanese military often breaks free from government control and talks to itself. It's understandable that it fights for power at home, but it doesn't listen to the government when it launches wars abroad?" Lu Ming felt incredible after hearing what he said.
.
"It's not impossible, but it's 100% the result. You will see it in the future." Sheng Youde made a judgment.
"Then why do you want the Japanese to agree to your conditions and let Mu Yi and Ziyuan come back safely? You don't have much leverage in your hand." Lu Ming asked doubtfully.
"If one day I have to sacrifice Mu Yi, Zi Yuan, your life and mine for the sake of the national interests, I will give everything without hesitation, but this is not the time."
"Old man, to be honest, I don't think the Japanese will listen to you. They are too cunning." Lu Ming shook his head repeatedly.
"Don't believe it, I just want to use this plan to make a deal with the Japanese government." Sheng Youde said calmly.
"Trade? Don't you never do business with the Japanese?" Lu Ming began to collect the photos on the table.
"I say you are smart, but sometimes you are really stupid. This is a transaction, not a business." Sheng Youde corrected.
"I think it's almost the same. Isn't it also an exchange of interests?" Lu Ming said with a smile.
"As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger, and the same reason can be said for turning defeat into victory in desperate situations." Sheng Youde thought about his business experience.
"A transaction can only be successful if both parties are profitable. This is what you taught us. How do you want to make this deal with the Japanese government?" Lu Ming asked uneasily.
"To make a deal, you need a middleman who can also be a witness. I am going to contact the British royal family and ask the British king to communicate with the Japanese emperor and ask the emperor to order a ban on the Japanese military's sneak attacks."
"Can the Emperor of Japan stop it with an order?" Lu Ming asked.
"You don't understand Japan's political system. The Emperor of Japan will not give orders easily, but as long as he gives a clear order, neither politicians nor soldiers will disobey it."
"That's right. By the way, how come you still know the King of England?"
"I don't know the King of England, but I have done business with the British royal family, so His Majesty the King of England should know me. In addition, the Rothschild family is the banker responsible for investment and financial management of the British royal family. The Rothschild family is my family in the UK.
Business partner." Sheng Youde explained.
Lu Ming couldn't help but glance at Sheng Youde, feeling that he really didn't understand this old man.
Although he studied law, he also knew who Lord Rothschild was. He was the world's top richest man like Rockefeller in the United States, and the most famous financier and banker in Europe.
Sheng Youde is actually a business partner with such a person, so can Sheng Youde also be called the Rockefeller and Rothschild of China?
No wonder Sheng Di would rather betray his uncle who is like his biological father. Even if he becomes a traitor and loses his reputation, he still wants to fight for the family property. The temptation is too great.
"What if the Emperor of Japan claims that he didn't know about this?" Lu Ming asked.
"What I want is not for him to check whether there is such a thing, but for him to clearly order the cancellation of the war plan against China. As long as he does this, the Kwantung Army will be obedient."
"Is the Emperor of Japan so easy to talk to? What if he doesn't agree?" Lu Ming was a little unconvinced.
"This is my business, I will make him agree." Sheng Youde smiled slightly and returned to his usual expression of knowing everything well.
"Actually, think about Mu Yi, why was she forced to run away in the first place? She could have gone to the Songhu Security Headquarters just like you. In that case, the matter would have been resolved long ago." Sheng Youde sighed.
"This is different. Mu Yi loves you too much. She can't let you be threatened in the slightest. She can't afford the risk. Sheng Di threatened her that as long as she leaked the matter, he would destroy the Sheng family. Everyone
Die together. This is not a bluff, he secretly crammed so many Japanese into the house that he could kill everyone in Liuyuan." Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
"This scoundrel is so abominable!" Sheng Youde's chest heaved and his teeth chattered.
But whenever he was about to order the disposal of Sheng Di, he couldn't help but think of Sheng Di's cute appearance when he was a child, and his filial piety that was half true and half disguised over the years.
"Mu Yi also loves Sheng Di, her younger brother, and can't bear to have you deal with Sheng Di, so in order to satisfy you, she chose to sacrifice herself. She naively believed that as long as she disappeared silently, you would only be miserable for a few years.
, after Sheng Di becomes the sole heir, he will not kill you, but will wait for you with peace of mind for a hundred years before he inherits all your property."
Lu Ming told Sheng Youde the whole story of Mu Yi's escape again.
"Yes, she has been the eldest among you brothers and sisters since she was a child, so she has always tried her best to take care of you without thinking about herself. I didn't expect that she would still have the same character after studying abroad for several years."
