Fang Lang watched the two people exchange glances in front of him, and the corners of his mouth began to tilt up slightly unconsciously, knowing that the fish had bitten the hook. The bait he laid was definitely a temptation they couldn't refuse.
If Fang Lang really followed his inner thoughts, the friendship he gave them should be just two peanuts, allowing them to ascend to the Western Paradise and no longer be burdened by worldly fame and fortune.
But now the two of them are still valuable, knowing that with the outbreak of the Peninsula War, the Americans will immediately proactively release those war criminals who should have been sent to hell, and lift the so-called "Public Service Release Order" when.
Fang Lang felt that he could use the poor information he had to show off in front of these two valuable Japanese people, and let them help him collect and hand over the Chinese cultural relics that had been lost to Japan. for myself. It should be a very good deal.
As for how to deal with these cultural relics in the future, it can be very flexible. You can keep it in the Chinese Cultural Relics Museum in Brazil, or donate it to your hometown. The decision can be made based on the actual situation at the time. It’s thousands of times better than continuing to keep it in the hands of the Japanese!
Of course, if these two guys don't behave well, disobey or cannot satisfy themselves, they can just ask the Punisher to send them to the West directly. When the two of them finally lose their use value, they can be handed over. When the time comes, those who are in need will take revenge if they have any grievances and grievances!
This can be regarded as squeezing the value of the two people to the extreme and allowing them to atone for the crimes they committed!
Shigemitsu Aoi saw that Fang Lang did not answer Kodama Yushio's question, but also showed a confident and calm posture, and looked at the two people with vague contempt. Shigemitsu Aoi could not help but not carefully consider Fang Lang's words. This sentence came out.
Especially when he turned his eyes to John Clark aside, he found that the other person was not full of suspicion like the two of them, but had a thoughtful expression. Shigemitsu Aoi felt even more that this seemingly inconspicuous Brazilian The Rear Admiral will definitely not be aimless.
I couldn't help but said directly:
"I wonder how General Fang plans to evade this public release order?"
Seeing Shigemitsu Aoi couldn't help but speak, Kodama Yushio could only endure the dissatisfaction in his heart, and then turned his attention to Fang Lang. He wanted to see what Fang Lang could say.
Seeing the look in their eyes, Fang Lang smiled flatly.
"Why avoid it?"
Fang Lang's words stunned several people, and they all looked at him with puzzled expressions. Seeing this, Fang Lang showed a noncommittal smile again and said:
"Isn't it just a public release order? If necessary, it can be implemented. Wouldn't it be enough to directly ask the U.S. Occupation Forces Command in Japan to issue an amnesty order?"
This was said very easily, but Kodama Yushio and Shigemitsu Aoi looked at this young man with an expression of disbelief.
This is a bill that would make even a democratically elected prime minister like Ichiro Hatoyama step down! The other party solved it in an understatement. At this moment, the two of them have ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past in their hearts. You are not bragging about cowhide! This is a bill, not a joke. If you say amnesty, then amnesty!
Shigemitsu Aoi couldn't help but blurted out with some stuttering:
"Is this possible?"
"Of course it's impossible for you, but for me, it's not that difficult! Of course, there are several prerequisites to achieve this goal."
Fang Lang glanced at John who was standing aside, thinking that this guy didn't have a good understanding of each other! It's time for an outsider to come forward to promote Fang Lang's influence. Some words spoken by others are more convincing than spoken by oneself!
It's a pity that this pussy is not perfect enough.
Chongmitsu Kui didn't know that Fang Lang was actually thinking about this guy who was not pretending to be perfect at this moment. The only words in his mind that Fang Lang said were not difficult. He straightened his clothes, knelt down and sat down seriously in the direction of Fang Lang, looked at Fang Lang seriously and said:
"I don't know what the prerequisites are, please tell me, General."
Seeing that this guy finally started to take his words seriously, Fang Lang glanced around, waved his hand, and motioned for the girls to leave.
Seeing this, Kodama Yushio quickly stood up and shouted at the girls in the room. The girls saw this and left the room in a panic.
After the door was closed again, Kodama Yushio also knelt down with a serious look on his face, looking like he was listening attentively.
Fang Lang laughed when he saw this and said:
"Of course the most important thing is that your performance satisfies me. You can complete the tasks I give you well."
Hearing this, Aoi Shigemitsu and Yushio Kodama looked at each other and did not dare to say anything else. They nodded to Fang Lang and said:
"Of course!"
Seeing the two men nodding obediently, Fang Lang just smiled.
"It is very simple for me to get this amnesty order. If necessary, it is not impossible to completely lift this public office discharge order, but this is obviously not necessary.
What I am more concerned about is that Mr. Shigemitsu was once the Foreign Minister of Japan. If you re-enter the political arena, what position do you plan to hold in the government?
Is there a place for you in the current new government? "
Fang Lang's attitude was very casual, but Kodama Yushio and Shigemitsu Aoi didn't dare to be casual, especially when Kodama Yushio heard Fang Lang's order to be completely relieved of public duties, his whole head exploded with a buzz. . You must know that those currently being restricted are all war criminals. If these people are released and can regain public office, doesn't it mean that Japan can rise again?
Regardless of whether Fang Lang's words were true or false, the look he was looking at Fang Lang at this moment was no longer hostile, but only filled with unspeakable passion. If the other party could really do everything he said, what would Japan's Chinese antiques mean? , it doesn’t matter if you give them all to him. If it’s not enough, you can give him Japan’s own antiques.
Shigemitsu Aoi, who was a politician, is much more pragmatic. He understands that what Fang Lang said is true. He is a war criminal. Even if he receives an amnesty and is allowed to enter the new government, he must carefully consider what position he will hold.
As a dignified foreign minister of Japan, it is certainly impossible for him to serve as an ordinary civil servant. If this is the case, he might as well not come back and wait for the opportunity!
And if he wants to serve as foreign minister again, will the current foreign minister agree? You must know that the Prime Minister of the current government is Yoshida Shigeru. This is a staunch pro-British and American faction, and we have not much friendship with him. How could he give up his choice of foreign minister and support himself, a guy who obviously doesn't share the same heart with the other party?
This is a really real problem! He had just come out of Sugamo Prison and really hadn't thought about this issue seriously. There was silence for a while.
Fang Lang didn't rush when he saw this, he just took out a cigar from his jacket pocket and lit it.
In the end, Shigemitsu Kui couldn't help but look up to Fang Lang and asked for help:
"I wonder what your Excellency General can teach me?"
Hearing this, Fang Lang was stunned and looked at this guy with some humor. From his eyes, Fang Lang could see that he wanted to ask himself if he needed him to do something for him. At the same time, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes. Obviously, he had not thought about his own path.
If possible, Fang Lang certainly hopes that this guy can be used for himself, but this guy is a foreign minister and is responsible for diplomatic work. He really can't find anything suitable for him to do for a while.
If there is a need in the future, he will certainly not be polite. Now that he heard his question, he could only wave his hands indifferently to further express his image as a superior person.
"It depends on yourself. It's too early for me to teach you now."
In fact, Fang Lang's meaning was very clear. He had to think about the path he wanted to take before Fang Lang could see if he could provide some guidance. Of course, this guidance must be beneficial to Fang Lang.
If Aoi Shigemitsu's thoughts and ideas are still stuck in the original militarism, Fang Lang's guidance to him will definitely be to send him away directly. However, if he can seriously repent to his hometown on behalf of Japan, Fang Lang won't mind using it. He came to influence more Japanese people.
This can also be regarded as a reflection of the value of his life.
But Shigemitsu Kui fell into deep thought again after hearing Fang Lang's words. The current situation is that he wants to return to the political arena, but the current political arena is different from the one he is familiar with, so he will definitely have a period of confusion.
Seeing Aoi Shigemitsu not speaking, Yushio Kodama on the side couldn't help it, and said nervously:
"General Fang, you just said that the order of public release will be completely lifted. Is this possible?"
Hearing this, Fang Lang frowned instantly and glanced dissatisfied at this former intelligence officer who obviously still had militaristic ideas.
What he said before was actually a bait thrown out, because it is impossible for a person who has completely given up the fantasy of militarism to think of reactivating those people who have been isolated from the political arena by this public office release order.
Their first thought must be to obtain an amnesty order for those who are useful to them, rather than releasing everyone. But Yushio Kodama just wanted to completely lift this ban.
From this moment on, Fang Lang has directly sentenced this guy to death in his heart. He will never allow such a person to continue to live in this world. After he hands over all the antiques in his hand, they will be his Death date.
Of course, it is impossible for him to die very easily, because he is also involved in the wealth that the Japanese navy collected from China. This wealth will be tortured to get clues from him! This can be regarded as revenge for the people in my hometown.
Although Fang Lang thought so in his heart, he would definitely not say so directly. Now that he was still useful to him, he needed to stabilize the other party first.
"It's possible or impossible, so what? Do you think the value in you is worth my energy to promote this matter?"
Fang Lang's words are equivalent to actually admitting that he has the ability to promote this matter, but without enough benefits, why should he do it?
As soon as these words came out, Kodama Yushio's eyes lit up and he was immediately tempted. If, through his connections, the U.S. military is fully relieved of its official duties, his influence in Japanese politics will be unparalleled. By then, even if he does not enter politics, he will surely become a big shot in Japanese politics. This is what he strives for.
What they didn't know was that the reason why Fang Lang dared to speak so brazenly was entirely because he knew that in real history, the Americans took the initiative to lift this so-called official release order after the Peninsula War. He is now using this matter to negotiate terms with the other party, which is completely free of charge.
Kodama Yoshio just thought for a moment and then immediately said:
"General Fang, maybe I'm not worthy of your efforts to promote this matter, but I know there is a person who is definitely worthy of your efforts."
When Fang Lang heard this, he looked at the other party with slight disdain and said:
"Mr. Kodama, I think you must have misunderstood something. What I want is never people. Whether it is you or Mr. Shigemitsu, in my eyes, there is not much difference between you. You are both war criminals who managed to escape punishment." .
If I want, I can send you back to Sugamo Prison at any time, or even make you disappear quietly. Now you can still continue to talk to me here, but it's just because people like you are not worthy of my action.
I always do things based on what this thing can bring to me. Only when I feel that the benefits this thing brings to me are worth my while, I will seriously consider it. do you understand? "
In fact, as soon as Kodama Yushio said there was a person worth taking action, he knew who the other person was talking about. Except for Hatoyama Ichiro, who almost became the prime minister, he could not think of another person. But Fang Lang did not agree with many of the political views of Ichiro Hatoyama, so Fang Lang was not prepared to let this guy come back to power.
Unless the other party can change its mind and abandon some of its policies in history, the most important of which is to rearm Japan.
For Fang Lang, in fact, the current Shigeru Yoshida government is very good. It is completely pro-British and American, and obeys the demands of his American father. Moreover, corruption is endemic, and there is no hope of re-emergence.
I only need to use my identity as American capital to exert sufficient influence on them.
Although Fang Lang's words have made it very clear, he only values interests and has no interest in individuals. But Kodama Yushio was not willing to give up. The more Fang Lang said this, the more he now believed that Fang Lang had the ability to do this, so he continued to speak very persistently:
"General Fang, the person I'm talking about is a person who is 100% capable of becoming Prime Minister. As long as you can lift his release order from public office, he will definitely be successfully elected as the new Prime Minister of Japan.
By then, the benefits he can bring to you will be unprecedentedly huge. "
Hearing this, Fang Lang rolled his eyes, glared at the other party angrily and said:
"Isn't the person you're talking about Ichiro Hatoyama? You put it simply, why can he become the prime minister with 100% certainty! You don't think that as long as you let go of the ban on him, Shigeru Yoshida will give up the position of prime minister to him Bar!
If you think so, I can only say that you are too naive and stupid. "
Yushio Kodama was stunned by Fang Lang's words. He didn't expect that the other party already knew who he wanted to talk about before he said it. Now it seems that the guy in front of him knows Japan far more than he does. Based on his imagination, everything the other party said was obviously accurate.
From this point of view, when he said that the "Public Service Release Order" could be completely lifted, it was obviously not just a casual talk. With this conclusion, Yushio Kodama believed Fang Lang's words without doubt.
