Seeing Zhou Wen's attitude, the principal suddenly felt angry. If possible, he would have shot this rebellious little bandit to death.
Why doesn’t this guy have any revolutionary consciousness or national sentiment? The principal has entrusted you with this important task because he thinks highly of you and wants to promote you. Why don't you feel any gratitude at all?
However, anger is anger, and the problem now is that no one else except Zhou Wen can handle this matter.
It's not like he hadn't thought about Dai Lilong's Secret Service before, and it wasn't too difficult for the Secret Service to find a few dead soldiers. But Dai Lilong organized his troops to plan several plans overnight, but they all felt uncertain.
You must know that a head of state, especially a military government, must have tight defenses. What's more, now Nabo Wenzheng is fighting fiercely with King Rama VII. Of course, he is also afraid that the king will send someone to assassinate him, and he needs to strengthen his defense measures.
Moreover, a head of state is either in a tightly guarded official residence, or is accompanied by a large number of military police and bodyguards when he goes out. Coupled with the language barrier, it is difficult for a killer to get close enough to shoot and poison.
The key problem is that Rama VII requires a one-hit kill. If he is only seriously injured or fails directly, it will frighten Na Bowen, and it will be difficult to find opportunities. Moreover, the military government will inevitably take revenge. They dare not kill the king, but it is very possible to restrict your king's freedom. Moreover, those factions loyal to the king will inevitably be bloody suppressed, and the king's faction will never have any chance to make a comeback.
From this point of view, Dai Lilong's secret service is somewhat unable to complete this task.
Therefore, the principal had no choice but to think of Zhou Wen, although he also knew that no matter how good the relationship with Siam was, it would be of limited help to China's future war of resistance. Just because the two countries are not bordering each other, even if you want to support China, you are beyond your reach. What's more, the Japanese are not vegetarians and will definitely take action against Siam.
But there were two reasons why the principal agreed.
One is that the price offered by the King of Siam is too tempting. The asking price of 10 million US dollars made him, the leader of the Republic of China who wanted to strengthen military construction but was short of money, unable to help but be tempted.
Niang Xipi, ten million US dollars is equivalent to a dozen moral weapon masters. How can I not be tempted? Compared with the equipment of a dozen German weapon masters, not to mention sacrificing a few lives, it is worth sacrificing hundreds or even thousands of people!
Another reason is that the Siamese emissary did not come to the door by himself, but through an intermediary.
This middleman is Sir Charles, the British Minister to China.
It turned out that the first place Rama VII sought help was not China, but the United Kingdom.
At that time, Myanmar was ruled by the British and it bordered Siam. King Rama VII, who had been educated in the British since he was a child, would of course choose to seek help from the British.
What's more, during this period, Britain still had the title of the world's most powerful country. No matter from which perspective, Rama VII felt that Britain was his first choice.
But he didn't know that at this time, Britain's focus was already on Europe, and it began to feel powerless in the face of the aggressive Germany, so how could it dare to provoke the Japanese wolf again.
They knew that as long as they came forward to help the King of Siam, how could Japan, which had been flirting with the Siamese military government, give up? Maybe they would send troops directly to Siam on the pretext that Britain interfered in other countries' internal affairs and that they had an obligation to assist their Asian brothers. Then the British would just shoot themselves in the foot.
To put it bluntly, the British are timid.
But he was still timid, and he did not want Siam, which bordered him, to become the sphere of influence of the Japanese. That would be equivalent to a pack of wild wolves coming to his doorstep, and they would take a bite out of him at some point.
So the British side gave Rama VII advice, and you go find the Chinese people to come forward. They already had a grudge against the Japanese and were not afraid of being bitten by lice if there were too many. As long as Siam can spare some blood, China, which is struggling for money, will definitely be willing to help you.
Therefore, under the attack of US dollars and the persuasion of the British, the principal decided to take over this difficult task. In his view, he could make a fortune and sell a favor to Britain, so why not do it?
Moreover, the principal has blind trust in Zhou Wen. Even things that seemed impossible to others were accomplished by Zhou Wen.
He sank the Izumo alone, sniped and killed a Japanese lieutenant general in the midst of thousands of troops, killed Japanese agents in Shanghai so easily that they dared not leave the door, and easily rescued his own captured personnel. These tasks and actions that seemed to be extremely difficult to others were accomplished by this boy with ease.
Therefore, he believed that others could not do such a thing as assassinating Na Bowen and his cabinet members, but Zhou Wen would definitely be able to do it.
Thinking of this, the principal could only suppress his anger and broke the silence in the study room: "I have already promised Siam and the UK about this, and I have to do it!"
As soon as he said this, his tone actually softened.
Zhou Wen sighed in his heart. He couldn't let the first man of the Republic of China come to beg him, so he could only use Po Xia Donkey to say: "What does this matter have to do with the British?"
In fact, as soon as the principal's soft words came out, Zhou Wen knew that he might not be able to refuse. If you refuse again, you will really become enemies with this principal. It was too early to fall out with the principal now, which would be very detrimental to Zhou Wen's future plans.
However, since there is no way to escape, Zhou Wen must take the initiative into his own hands.
After the principal told all the causes and consequences of the incident, Zhou Wen cursed in his heart again: "Mamapi, are you used to having prostitutes for nothing? A whole ten million dollars! Don't you even let it slip?" Yes, it means that I want to monopolize it. I have worked hard for you, but you really want to monopolize it. Is this the magnanimity of a head of state?"
The principal finally added: "I believe you are aware of the current situation in the country. These ten million US dollars are of great significance in reorganizing the army to fight against future Japanese aggression."
By this time, he no longer expected to have sex with Zhou Wen for nothing. With this little bandit's money-hungry personality, he might want to viciously take away a big piece of fat. The principal felt heartbroken just thinking about it.
So his implication was that Zhou Wen should stop what he said and take the overall situation into consideration.
Now that the host and the guest have changed, Zhou Wen's mind suddenly became more flexible.
He pondered for a moment and then said to the principal: "I don't dare to reply to the principal now, because many situations are unclear. After all, it is going to go deep into another country to assassinate the prime minister of a country, which is very troublesome, and there are many uncertain factors. Understand and implement. So I want to have an interview with the Siamese envoy before making a decision."
When the principal heard this and knew that Zhou Wen had relented, a stone fell in his heart.
He also knew that Zhou Wen was telling the truth, so he nodded and agreed to Zhou Wen's request.
