Six hundred and seventieth chapters strongly encouraged
Wang Daniu is the maintenance president and a popular figure among the Japanese. The former Jiro Yoshikawa valued him very much, so he came to the garrison headquarters and met Miki without any difficulty.
"Commander Miki, congratulations!"
As soon as he saw Miki, Wang Daniu smiled and said a few polite words.
"What's there to congratulate!"
Although he understood what Wang Daniu said, Miki still pretended not to understand, and the expression on his face was very calm.
Seeing Sanmu pretending to be confused, Wang Daniu made it clear: "Your Excellency Sanmu, now you have become the top military commander of Zhuozhou City. Isn't this a gratifying thing?"
"What's so gratifying? My commander is only temporary. Maybe one day the real commander will arrive."
There was a hint of worry in Miki's tone. This worry was also half true and half false. After all, if he could become the temporary commander, he would be very likely to be promoted to a regular position.
But Miki, the temporary commander, was only promoted in an emergency. If Inoue had not left in such a hurry, he might not have had his turn.
So Miki was a little worried, fearing that the garrison commander might be fucked by his superiors that day.
"So, Commander, you have to work hard to secure this position."
Wang Daniu started to encourage again. After all, he and Miki were very familiar with each other. With this little devil as the garrison commander, his life would be very easy.
If the Japanese really transfer a commander from somewhere else, Wang Daniu's maintenance chairman may not be able to sit still. After all, with the emperor and his courtiers, anything can happen.
"I am just a commoner and have limited connections, so what's the point of working hard!"
There was a bit of reluctance in Miki's tone, as if he hated his low background and being unable to develop better in the army.
After a pause, he continued: "Forget it, let it be fate. Anyway, the garrison commander of Zhuozhou City is not an easy job. A big thing happened before. Whoever becomes this commander must deal with the aftermath and give an explanation to the superiors.
.”
In fact, Miki really wanted to be the garrison commander. After all, he had stayed in Zhuozhou City for several years and was familiar with the people here. If he could become the garrison commander, he would be the same as the Tu Emperor.
In particular, Zhuozhou City is a material transfer station and a warehouse for combat readiness materials. Being a garrison commander here is a very wealthy position.
But Miki also knew that many people were thinking about this position, especially some middle and lower-level officers on the front line, who were even more eyeing this position. Compared with those people, he really had no advantage.
"Your Excellency Miki, you are wrong. You don't want to leave it to fate. I only believe that everything depends on man.
Besides, you also have your advantage, that is, you are familiar with the situation here, and I am afraid that the Grand Prince will also take this into consideration."
Wang Daniu immediately spoke to persuade Miki. After all, he still wanted to use the Japanese. Then he took out a box and placed it on the seat in front of him.
"Commander Miki, this is my subordinate's wish, please accept it first."
Looking at the box in front of him, Miki didn't hesitate and opened the lid directly.
"What is this?"
There is a small bottle inside the box, which is not very conspicuous, but it has a simple atmosphere.
"This is something from the Ming Dynasty, but it is a good item. I spent a lot of effort to get it."
Of course Wang Daniu's words were false. He obtained this antique very easily. He accidentally found it when he ransacked another traitor's house.
This small bottle was the traitor's heirloom, but he was targeted by Wang Daniu, so he lost his life, and the valuables in his family also fell into Wang Daniu's hands.
In fact, this antique was prepared by Wang Daniu for Jiro Yoshikawa, and he planned to take it out at an important moment. Now that Miki was the commander, he had to be thoughtful, so he took it out in advance.
"Oh, that's how it is!"
Miki's interest was average. After all, his background was not high and his knowledge was very limited. He did not understand the value of Ming Dynasty antiques.
However, Miki also knew that antiques were relatively valuable, and he had a good relationship with Wang Daniu, so he picked it up and looked at it, but his expression was a little cold.
"Sir Miki, don't think this thing is inconspicuous, but it is worth tens of thousands of gold. Even if it is sold now, it is still worth this amount!"
Having said this, Wang Daniu stretched out his right hand and made two gestures, representing a value of ten thousand oceans.
Miki naturally understood the meaning of Wang Daniu's gesture, so he immediately changed his attitude, looked at the bottle in his hand carefully, and the expression on his face became much more solemn.
"Is such a gadget worth so much?"
Miki's tone was full of incredible meaning. After all, he didn't understand the true value of antiques.
And compared to antiques, Miki prefers real gold and silver, so he showed a cold look before.
"Of course it's worth so much money, and this kind of thing is very rare. Even if you have money, you may not be able to get it..."
Wang Daniu continued to talk about how rare the bottle was. After all, when giving a gift to someone, you must let the other person understand the value of the thing, otherwise it would be nothing.
"well!"
Although he didn't understand the value of antiques, Sanmu knew that Wang Daniu didn't dare to lie to him, so he smiled with satisfaction.
"Your Excellency Miki, I have also heard that many important figures in the imperial army like this kind of antique. If you can find a way to send this thing up..."
Having said this, Wang Daniu stopped talking, but when he looked into Miki's eyes, there was a profound meaning.
Wang Daniu has been working in the National Government for many years. Although he is not a big shot, he still knows how to do things like running for an official position, so he reminded Miki. This is another reason why he gave away the antique today.
Although Miki was from a humble background and had an average IQ and EQ, Wang Daniu made it so obvious that he naturally understood and immediately showed a thoughtful expression.
Being able to become an officer as a civilian and still reach this position, Miki naturally knows the benefits of giving gifts.
However, the discipline of the Japanese army is relatively strict, and the custom of giving gifts is not very strong. In addition, Miki is from a humble background and is not a rich man. He has never done this before.
But the opportunity now was rare, and Miki knew in his heart that if he didn't take the opportunity to take the position, he might not have the chance to be promoted within a few years when the Japanese high-level officials sent a new commander.
"It's time to take a walk."
Miki muttered to himself, then looked at Wang Daniu and said seriously: "Is the value of your thing really so high?"
Although he had made a decision and believed that Wang Daniu would not dare to lie to him, Miki still asked. After all, if the thing was fake, it would be a big trouble.
From Miki's expression, Wang Daniu guessed the other party's decision, so he immediately said, "Your Excellency Miki, do I still dare to lie to you? I am not joking with my own life!"
Hearing these words, Miki nodded. After all, if the thing was fake, he would definitely have to settle the score with Wang Daniu, so he felt relieved.
