When Jiang Chen returned to the hotel, it was already ten o 'clock in the evening.
What surprised him was that Miss Kwai eventually left. At this moment, only Qian Xia, dressed in a maid uniform, was left in the room.
"Where is our policewoman?" Jiang Chen opened his arms and asked casually.
"Miss Kwai said that if you need anything, please call her. She will report here and will not stay here tonight." Qian Xia replied in a very pleasant voice. She took off Jiang Chen's formal clothes, tidied them up, and hung them on the hanger next to the door.
She left?
Jiang Chen put down his open arms, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
He remembered that before he left, he had told her to stay for the night.
"Why didn't you ask her to stay?" Jiang Chen gently hooked Qian Xia's chin, and a smirk appeared on his face.
"I didn't know Master wanted her to stay. If you need, I will call Miss Kwai …" Qian Xia said in a panic.
"You didn't guess Master's thoughts. This is your dereliction of duty as a maid." Jiang Chen's hand gently slid down her neck, and he smiled evilly. "Forget it, it's the same anyway. I was going to punish her tonight. You will be punished for her today. "
Qian Xia's cheeks turned red.
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Chen would call her by the name Qian Xia. If he addressed her as a maid out of the norm, then it was most likely that he was thinking about that kind of thing.
Qian Xia closed her fluttering eyelashes, lowered her eyes, and murmured in a soft voice.
"Please punish me, Master …"
…
The next morning, Jiang Chen slept until eight o 'clock.
After eating the breakfast delivered by the hotel, Jiang Chen was about to look at today's itinerary when Foreign Minister Kishida called.
As soon as the phone was connected, Kishida's chuckle came through, and he asked in a rather ambiguous tone.
"I don't know if Jiang Chen was satisfied last night?"
"Of course … not satisfied!" Just halfway through, Jiang Chen suddenly changed his words and said with a serious face, "The person you sent had a very bad attitude. I clearly asked her to stay and wait for me to come back from the state banquet to arrange the next day's itinerary, but she left without saying a word!"
Kishida was stunned and hurriedly apologized, "I'm really sorry! I hope Mr. Jiang Chen won't be offended by our poor hospitality. We'll immediately change our hostess — "
"There's no need for a replacement." Jiang Chen shook his head and resisted the urge to laugh. He coughed and said with a serious face, "She will still be my assistant in the future. But Shibata-kun, please remember, there is a limit to my tolerance. "
"Hi! Hi! "
Kishida, who was sweating profusely, bowed to the phone, but in his mind, he was cursing the police director and Kwai.
He had actually neglected this big boss.
Don't you know that Mister Jiang is an honored guest of Ri Nation?
"Let's not talk about this. You didn't just call me to ask if I was satisfied last night, right? Let's talk business. "
"… Mr. Prime Minister wants to meet with you to discuss matters related to the UA troops stationed in Nippon and joining the alliance. I wonder if Mr. Jiang is free right now?" Kishida quickly said.
"How about this morning? I'll head over now. "Jiang Chen looked at the clock on the wall.
"No problem! We can meet at any time! "
After he hung up the phone, Jiang Chen looked at Qian Xia, who was about to get out of bed and help him get dressed. Last night's exercise was still a bit too intense for the girl who hadn't been exposed to rain and dew for a long time. Even now, her head was still a little dizzy.
"Master, I'll help you …"
"No, you can sleep a little longer." Jiang Chen wasn't the kind of person who didn't know how to be gentle to the fairer sex. He grinned and buttoned his clothes. "Officer Kwai may come in a while. You can buy her a drink."
Qian Xia paused for a moment, then opened her mouth adorably.
When she saw Jiang Chen's smirk, she suddenly realized what was going on and giggled.
"Master, you're so bad."
…
This was probably the third time Jiang Chen came to the Nippon Prime Minister's official residence and the third time he saw the short Prime Minister.
And what was even more interesting was that every time he came here, the smile on the Prime Minister's face gave him a completely different feeling.
The first time was a hidden dagger. Nippon didn't want to connect to the global grid at the time. The second time was a helpless compromise because the Sumitomo Foundation used public opinion and parliament to kidnap the political party's decision-making and was forced to make concessions on national security issues.
As for the third time, Jiang Chen couldn't tell the meaning behind his smile.
A little fear, a little flattery, as for the rest, he couldn't be sure, so it was not convenient to speculate.
After some small talk, the Prime Minister invited Jiang Chen to sit on the sofa, then he also sat down and asked the assistant next to him to make a cup of tea for the two.
"I want to talk to you about the UA military bases and the UA troops stationed in Nippon." With a warm smile, the Prime Minister went straight to the point. "I believe Jiang Chen must be very concerned about this matter."
The Prime Minister took the map from his assistant, spread it on the coffee table, pointed to the red dots on the map, and said sincerely.
"The UA military stationed in Nippon has a total of 88 military facilities and bases in Nippon, with a total of more than 40,000 people. The headquarters is located at Yokota Base. If you can find a way to drive them away, we can sublease 44 of these military bases to you! "
After Jiang Chen heard the Prime Minister's proposal, he sneered in his mind.
On the surface, this proposal seemed to be good. 44 military bases were not only more than enough for Celestial Trade's military force, but also redundant. However, the problem was not the number of military bases, but the word "sublease".
Since when did Japan lease these military bases to the United States? If this was the case, how could there be sublease? Did Celestial Trade come and drive the UA away for you? Not only did they not charge you protection fees, but they also have to pay you rent?
I'm not here to do charity.
For a long time, Nippon had borne the majority of the military expenses of the UA military stationed in Nippon, which was even higher than its own military expenditure. From this point of view, the people of Nippon were quite pitiful. They had to pay protection fees while enjoying the "protection" of the UA soldiers.
With the help of Celestial Trade, they drove away the UA, removed the financial burden that had been weighing on them, and completely stood on the side of the Earth Defense Alliance. It had to be said that the Prime Minister's calculations were indeed brilliant.
However, would Jiang Chen fall for it?
"You may have made a mistake." Jiang Chen grinned. "Celestial Trade is the world's largest military contractor, not the Red Cross or anything else."
"You mean …" The Prime Minister's expression was a bit stiff. Obviously, they just wanted to get rid of the UA riding on their heads and didn't want to pay for the military expenses of Celestial Trade's garrison in Nippon.
"Thirty military bases." Jiang Chen raised three fingers and said in a tone that could not be refused, "You are the bridgehead of the UA in Asia, but for us, it is at our doorstep. We don't need to station so many troops at our doorstep. In addition, we won't extort money from you. You paid the UA 5 billion US Dollar military expenses last year. From now on, you only need to pay us half. Let's just count it as 2 billion XND. "
Seeing that the Prime Minister was about to open his mouth to bargain, Jiang Chen threw out the last carrot before he could speak.
"If you agree to my conditions, then I can also guarantee you that you will get a yes vote in this year's vote to join the Earth Defense Alliance." Jiang Chen looked at the Prime Minister, who had a sour expression on his face, and said with a smile, "Of course, you can also use diplomatic means to drive away those UA people yourself. We will not use that yes vote to kidnap you. Our position has been stated from the beginning. There is only one threshold for Nippon to join the Earth Defense Alliance, and that is to cancel all UA military bases in Nippon. "
"We don't welcome fence-sitters. Please make your position clearer."
"East or west, you'd better make a decision as soon as possible."
