The CIA is a very important intelligence agency under Xiao Letian, and the manpower and material support he provides is very huge. As an important part of Xiao Letian's management of the Pacific forces, Fuso believes that he will not underestimate the financial investment in the Japanese Intelligence Agency branch. , Xiao Letian has never been stingy.
Of course, such an important institution must be entrusted to the people who are most trusted and familiar with this place. Who knows Fuso better than the people of Fuso? Therefore, this official position must be held by a native of Fuso.
To say that the most loyal Fuso person is of course Sakamoto Ryoma. After all, Xiao Letian saved his life with his own blood, and the two of them have very consistent views on the general trend of the world. This is the uniqueness of the person in charge of the Fuso branch. Candidate.
But I didn't expect that something like this would happen to Sakamoto Ryoma, so who to choose as his successor would be a problem. Xiao Letian didn't have a suitable candidate, and the war had already broken out and he didn't have time to consider these things. As a result, the Fuso CIA Daily work can only be entrusted to Ryoma-kun's deputy, Ito Hirobumi.
Ito Hirobumi is also a talented person. He was a reformist among the reformers. He studied in England and later returned home due to the Shikoku shelling incident in Shimonoseki. Later, he was dismissed from Xiao Letian because of the new army's entry into Osaka Castle.
He was talented and flexible, and Xiao Letian knew how powerful this person was, so he naturally accepted him into his family without any politeness, and he was considered a peripheral member of the Chinese clan.
During the period when Ito Hirobumi and Xiao Letian were dismissed, they had few colleagues, and now it is also the loyalty review period. Naturally, there are conditions for such people to be used. If Ryoma-kun hadn't made a mistake, otherwise the power of the top leader would not have fallen. On him.
In fact, according to the CIA's system, Xiao Letian is not afraid that he may cause any trouble, because according to the provisions specified by Xiao Letian, the deputy temporarily serves as the top leader and cannot exercise many powers.
For example, the right to assassinate, the right to release first-class secrets, the transfer of funds of more than one million silver dollars, etc. A series of rights and responsibilities need to be applied for execution. In other words, Ito Hirobumi is exercising his power in a cage. There is still safety.
This is also one of the main reasons why Xiao Letian and Wang Huaiyuan can fight on Amami Oshima and Vladivostok with peace of mind.
But Xiao Lezhen really underestimated the power of this famous Meiji minister. He never expected that Hirobumi Ito would pay attention to Huniu and his son...
A month ago, when the war on Amami Oshima reached a stalemate and the war in the Far East was raging, Ito Hirobumi came to Sunfu Castle and met Huniu who was about to give birth. As the head of the CIA, Huniu's safety was his most important There is nothing wrong with him coming here because of his mission.
Ito Hirobumi used his power, and the tiger girl sent countless gifts and tripled the defense force. There were signs of ninjas all around Sunfu Castle, and heavy checkpoints were posted at all intersections.
The burning charcoal basin drives away the cold wind of spring in Japan. The curtains in the castle tower are tightly closed, and no cold air can come in. Under the protection of four Japanese maids, Huniu's big belly is wrapped like a cotton bag.
Facing Huniu is a sliding wooden door, like a movable screen, covered with thick wood grain paper. On the white paper, there are landscape paintings painted by masterful painters, which look pleasing to the eye.
The wooden screen door was closed at the moment. Ito Hirobumi was kneeling behind the screen door. The girl beside him was respectfully sending gifts into the room through lacquer boxes. The maid was afraid of freezing Huniu, so she only opened a small one at a time. gap.
Nishijin fabrics and fans from Kyoto, Western music boxes and Hakata fabrics from Hakata, herbal medicines and ginseng from Korea, rice wine and snacks from Jiangnan... all kinds of gifts came in like a stream.
Huniu is no longer the girl from a small family in the past. Over the years, she has eaten and seen countless good things with Xiao Letian. She really doesn't care much about these gifts, but as a subordinate, she still wants to express her gratitude. .
"If you are serious, Ito-sama has a lot of money. In fact, you don't need to buy these gifts. I have everything here..."
"Hai..." Ito Hirobumi's forehead touched the ground. "Yes, Madam naturally doesn't like these small gifts, but it is still good to give them to the servants. Madam has worked hard and subordinates can't let Madam worry about these small things..."
Brilliant, this flattery is so brilliant! Huniu smiled after saying this, and even the maids beside her moved their eyebrows. A smart person makes people feel comfortable when he speaks, and he flattered everyone present.
Of course, Madam looked down upon these gifts. This was to compliment Huniu’s noble status, and then she told Madam to keep them as rewards for the servants. This gave Huniu another reason to accept the gifts, because the master couldn’t seem too stingy, right? , people around can appreciate these gifts.
Not to mention that the servants around Huniu are useless, their occasional good words are enough to influence the master's judgment. Even if there are no good words to send, it is worth spending some money to exchange for one who does not say bad things.
After a few pleasantries, the drama finally came. Ito Hirofumi smiled and said, "This time, my subordinate came from Kyoto and went to Nara Toshouti Temple to pray for a peace charm for my wife and the young master who was about to be born. And asked the eminent monk in the temple to tell the young master's fortune..."
"Oh!" Hu Niu suddenly became energetic. Women are always the same as long as her children are mentioned, and they naturally become energetic. "Take the trouble, open the screen, let me listen to what is said..."
The screen door covered with scenery was opened, revealing Ito Hirobumi who was kneeling respectfully, "To the mistress, this is the peace charm I pray for for the young master..." As he said this, he pushed a delicate red velvet bag from the tatami with both hands. Buddhist swastikas are embroidered all over in gold thread.
Inside is actually a statue of Bodhisattva carved from an unknown wood. It is so heavy that it weighs heavily on the hand. I cannot say that this talisman is expensive, and of course it is definitely not a bargain.
Ito Hirobumi knew that Hu Niu looked down on this kind of peace charm, but what he was going to say next was the real trump card.
"My Mistress, after presiding over the prayers for the safety of Mistress and Young Master in Tang Zhaoti Temple, she once said..."
"What did you say?" Huniu asked.
"The host has said that the mistress will definitely give birth to a young master this time, and he will definitely be a dragon among men!"
Hiss... Several maids in the room were shocked, thinking that you are really flattering. Madam, she has been dreaming about her son and son during this period. You are so good at guessing what you mean.
Huniu felt as sweet as drinking honey water. She smiled and said, "Haha, whether it's true or not, you can really talk. I'm very happy. Thank you very much..."
Ito Hirobumi did not laugh, but suddenly straightened his waist and said extremely seriously, "Mother! I don't mean to coax you at all. Every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart, and I also brought a gift to the young mistress." What a great gift!”
Looking at Ito Hirobumi's serious expression, Huniu was stunned, "Big gift? What do you mean..."
