Chapter 113 Trading on

On May 20th, the day of worship and summer are approaching. Although Washington, D.C. still carries a trace of the coolness of late spring, women in summer skirts can already be seen on the streets of Washington. Women's love for beauty for a long time. In Washington, a place where politicians gather, there are naturally many friends. Jihua, these beautiful and charming women, not to mention that summer is approaching, even in the wind and snow in winter, it does not prevent them from wearing the surnamed skirts, wandering among the politicians and playing with their own wind.

Any place where politicians gathers is destined to be a place full of transactions and the ugliest side of the world. Washington... This capital of the country is also inevitable. Here, "political transactions" and "power and wealth transactions" are never inferior to any country in the world. Politicians in suits and leather shoes take luxury cars in and out of high-end hotels, high-end clubs and high-end casinos in Washington. Accompanied by beautiful and charming social flowers, they taste dozens of dollars of wine, hold beautiful women who will fall in love with everyone, and then talk and laugh with lobbyists of those big conglomerates and large enterprises. The sound of the wind.

In the process of talking and laughing, the public power of the people is trading. Anyone with a little conscience will hate this kind of "power and wealth transaction", but for diplomats gathered in Washington, there may be no better place than Washington. All the lobbying here is carried out in public. There is no anti-espionage agency in this country, and there is no need to worry about the interference of the secret police. The lobbying is protected by the law. Of course, as for what the "tarm" of lobbying is, I'm afraid only the two sides of the transaction will understand. Founded in 1850, the Villad Hotel is the oldest and most famous hotel in Washington. U.S. President Lincoln, Grant and other political dignitaries have stayed here, and it is also the hotel where Jinzi Kentaro, the special envoy of the Empire, stayed. In the past month or so, Kaneko Kentaro has been based at the Villad Hotel, squandering a large amount of dollars and lobbying Washington by all means. Politicians full of black gold.

Today, in the banquet hall of the Villad Hotel, a large-scale party is being held. Many of the participants are politicians and celebrities in Washington. In the relaxed music, the laughter of men and women sounded from time to time, and Jinzi Jiantaro, dressed in a swallowtail evening dress, kept swimming in the crowd.

For Kentaro Kaneko, who is in the United States, the most important thing at this time is no longer to ask Roosevelt to act as a mediator between Japan and Russia. In the past period of time, he has been trying to explain the "Biya Burning Incident" to all walks of life in the United States. The United States is the most important target of impact, who let them support What about China?

"... I don't want to talk more about my feelings at that time. When I think of my compatriots fighting desperately in North Korea, I feel that it was a great spur for me. My efforts here are exactly what I deserve. Unfortunately, I'm distressed because I don't know what to do to change the favoritism of most Americans towards the Chinese and Russians. In the dead of the night, I can't help crying.

In front of his classmates, Jinzi Jiantaro, with tears in his eyes, tried to play the "emotional card". His depressed appearance brought the understanding of his old classmates, and when he turned his face to face others, what Jinzi Jiantaro would say.

"The inevitable result of anger, but in the end, the original law proves to everyone the fact that when the behavior of the people violates the law, we will use the law to punish those people!"

As an "American" Kaneko Kentaro naturally knows how to convince these Americans that the "burning incident" is just a "small, unworthy event", but now Kaneko Kentaro is secretly grateful for the "help from the United States".

"Gentlemen, ladies!"

Jinzi Jiantaro stood in front of the microphone in front of the band. While talking, he looked at the microphone and was inexplicably proud. The Chinese pinyin on the "Gole" microphone fully explains its origin. This is an invention from China. To be precise, the Chinese invention of the loudspeaker and Edison's carbon. The combination of fine microphones has the current "amplification equipment", and I use this kind of loudspeaker equipment to arouse the Chinese sentiment of Americans.

"When I read the newspaper today, I noticed that there were two ships of American cotton, which were stuck in the port because the dockers refused to carry them!"

As soon as Jinzi Kentaro's voice fell, the people present immediately understood what he meant. He was referring to the ongoing "boycott of American goods" in Shanghai, China.

"... It's hard to imagine how a country and nation that doesn't know how to be grateful stand in this world. Countless people, including myself, have condemned the burning incident against foreigners in Tokyo. I have sent many telegrams to China to ask for arrest and trial those who said, "The United States helped China get Taiwan." "Bay" as an excuse to participate in the burning incident, in the conflict between Japan and China, the United States' support for China should be said to be obvious to all, and disappointing!"

At this point, Jinzi Jiantaro shrugged his shoulders helplessly and looked at the Americans in front of him seriously at the same time.

"However, in order to help China obtain the peace conditions that are in line with China's interests but lose Japan's interests, and does not hesitate to use the cancellation of the loan as a weapon in China, in China, those Chinese who take advantage of the conflict because of the help of the United States are brewing a commercial boycott against the United States!"

Hearing Jinzi Jiantaro's ears in the banquet hall, he sneered secretly in his heart that the weapons were sometimes provided by the enemy, the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Roosevelt thought that he mediated the conflict between China and let the Chinese take advantage of it, and the Chinese would feel it, but the idea of the Chinese and the President of the United States was completely opposite. Roosevelt saw the victory of diplomacy, but in the eyes of the Chinese, there was only the expulsion from the other side of the ocean.

The Chinese Exclusiment Act of Americans began in 1882 and has been more than 20 years since 1905. At first, the misfortunes of the Chinese Americans did not cause a strong backlash from the Chinese on the other side of the ocean.

In the past, the Qing Dynasty also wishfully believed that the Chinese Exclusions Act only restricted Chinese workers, not Chinese people of other identities, because the American political axe had guaranteed the most favorable national treatment for Chinese who had legally residing in the United States.

But later, not only Chinese workers were excluded, but also high-class Chinese people were repeatedly harassed and insulted. Two years ago, Tan Jinyong, a Chinese military officer in the United States, committed suicide after being insulted by the San Francisco police. The news spread that it is difficult for Chinese people, especially the intellectual class, to regard the exclusion of Chinese workers from the United States as their own business. Especially last year, Roosevelt, who was facing the general election, expressed his approval of Congress in the enactment of a new Chinese exclusion bill in order to win the support of the West.

In the eyes of the Chinese, it was the reckless behavior of the President of the United States that pushed them to the edge of anger. Since then, China has been brewing a boycott of the United States, and if there is a proper connection, all the whole United States sees is China's "not knowing gratitude".

Jin Zijian cast his eyes on more than a dozen reporters in the banquet hall. They were the reporters he invited. They were the most effective current affairs reporters sent by major newspapers. For this "performance", he even prepared $500 in cash for each of them.

In Jinzi Jiantaro's speech, he kept introducing to people with Chinese newspapers how the Chinese "used" the American political axe and Mr. Roosevelt's desire for peace. Before the tired Japanese army regrouped, he ended the " speculative war" while using other domestically. The "unbelievable" excuse brewed a boycott of American goods in order to "pressurize" the United States. With his speech, the applause continued, and his mood seemed to be ignited by him.

"A clever tongue!"

Rennes, holding a champagne glass, listened to Jinzi Kentaro's speech and turned his head to Shelse beside him.

"The words of the Gold Special Envoy reminded me of such a sentence!"

"Hmm! Who would have thought that Washington, far beyond the Pacific Ocean, would become the home of Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations?

While it is incredible, Shel's is also excited. In his opinion, this is undoubtedly one of the biggest diplomatic victories of the United States. The United States is gradually increasing its influence on the world stage and is playing a more important role. This role is even Britain, which has traditional influence on the Far East. The countries can compare.

"Mr. Envoy, your speech is really wonderful!"

When he saw Kintaro Kaneko coming towards him at the end of his speech, Ryan quickly put the champagne glass on the waiter's tray and walked towards him.

"Thank you, Senator Ryan. I'm just telling the truth to kind Americans in my speech!"

Kaneko Kentaro said to Rennes with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Special Envoy, I think your speech today will be on the front page of the Washington Times tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Mr. Shelse, what do you think?"

Ren, who turned to Shel's, asked. Shel's is a well-known current affairs reporter for the Washington Times, "I think..."

Thinking of the $500 cash in the envelope in his pocket, Shelth hesitated.

"I personally agree, but in the end, the editor-in-chief needs to approve the content of the front page!"

He said so, but Shel's knew that it was impossible. The Washington Times received a $5,000 "advertising fee" paid by the Chinese embassy every week. In return, the editor-in-chief would certainly not take the risk of losing "big customers" to offend them.

"However, I can at least guarantee that your speech today will be on the main page of the Washington Times in the next two days!"

Facing the euphemism of Shel's, because he knew the "trapies" of the Chinese people, Jinzi Jiantaro could understand his difficulties.

"Thank you, Mr. Shelse. Have a good time!"

After thanking him, Kintaro Kaneko turned to Rennes.

"Mr. Senator, can I speak for a moment?"

"Of course!"

After taking another glass of champagne from the waiter's tray, Rennes walked towards a small smoking room next door with Jinzi Jiantaro. The small smoking room was prepared for men who smoked. There were two people standing outside the door. In fact, many "lopes" were held in this small smoking room. Of.

"Mr. Senator, if you can oppose the refund of money and fund Chinese students in the Senate, you will undoubtedly win the support of your voters! I think this is also their voice!"

In the smoking room, in the face of Senator Rennes from California, Jinzi Jiantaro said with a smile that when the Chinese boycotted American goods, the "appropriate" response from the United States can always stimulate the people of that country, thus intensifying China's anti-American consciousness, which is exactly what Japan needs. .

"Of course, it has always been my duty and duty to listen to the voices of voters!"

Rennes did not refuse or refuse. He just shook the champagne in the glass absent-mindedly when he spoke. Maybe it would really change the taste because of his shaking.

The senator's expression was in the eyes of Jinzi Kentaro. He understood what the "greedy fat pig" needed. "Of course, it is the senator's duty to listen to the voice of the people!"

In addition to agreeing, Jinzi Kentaro immediately threw out a gift he had prepared for a long time.

"I have a friend who is a Californian, and of course he is himself!"

While Jinzi Jiantaro was talking, Ren raised his ears. He knew that his "gift" was slowly flying over with wings. This may be the most wonderful place as a senator. Wealth and women will always rush to you desperately. It was also when he received the gift for the first time that he realized that What father will desperately support himself to run for the Senate.

Especially after becoming the senatorial leader in the western region, your wealth is growing like a geometric figure, which is the benefit of power.

"He has been in the United States for 40 years!"

With a slight frown, Ryan didn't know what it had to do with him.

"In the 40 years in the United States, he has worked hard to open up his own industry, Mr. Ryan, but he hasn't returned to Japan for a long time!"

"People will be homesick!"

Slowly, Rennes understood what kind of gift Kaneko wanted to give him.

"Yes!"

Jinzi Jiantaro nodded.

"So, he is going to settle down, but his property needs to be dealt with, but he has not been able to find a suitable candidate!"

"Oh!"

Looking up at Jinzi Jiantaro, a smile squeezed out on Ryan's face.

"It's easy to get in touch with economists in California!"

"But there are not many trustworthy people. Mr. Rennes, can you introduce him to an economist?"

While making the request, Jinzi Jiantaro took out a piece of paper from his pocket and spread it out in front of Rennes. This was a deed. It was just a glance. Rennes's eyelids jumped. He knew this land, because this land was not someone else's, but his own. A week ago The high price of $50,000 was sold to an American citizen.

"Mr. Senator, I think he needs an economist to draft a new contract for himself!"
