Chapter 1077 Your Consul is a Fool
Xiang Chu looked through the materials and praised the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Belt throughout.
As well as boasting about the Japanese army and praising the Japanese leaders.
There will be group discussions and signing of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Belt Initiative later.
There are also procedures such as reporters asking questions and taking group photos of all participants.
If this meeting were to go on seriously, it would take more than a day to finish.
Xiang Chu put the materials aside, ready to talk casually and then disperse.
However, the Japanese reporters below were all eyeing him covetously.
At this moment, Yuan Mingyong suddenly stood up and shouted foolishly:
"Gentlemen! The imperial army will quickly move south, capture Hong Kong Island, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Australia, and seize a large amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources..."
He told all the information he had.
The reporters at the meeting had the material and recorded it with great joy.
Xiang Chu pretended to be extremely surprised and looked at Yuan Mingyong's stand-in, but did not try to dissuade him.
Moreover, this couldn't be better, as it greatly revealed the devil's secrets.
Ichiro Inaya couldn't help but stepped forward and advised: "Consul General! These are the secrets of the empire, and they cannot be disclosed any more."
Yuan Mingyong's stand-in pointed at Inaya Ichiro and shouted angrily: "Baga! How dare you stop me? Are you looking for death?"
Xiang Chu didn't want him to be exposed immediately, so he ordered the two bodyguards: "Quick! Send the former director to the conference room to attend the next meeting."
"Hello!"
The two bodyguards hurriedly took orders and stepped forward to take him away.
Yuan Mingyong's stand-in yelled, "No one is allowed to touch me. I am a free man."
The two bodyguards were also his watchers, which made him very disgusted and long for freedom.
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Former Director! Everyone here has heard your wonderful speech, but the people in the conference room haven't heard it yet. Go over there quickly. After you finish your speech, you will be a free man."
Yuan Mingyong's stand-in was stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
Two bodyguards carried Yuan Mingyong's stand-in down from the podium and left backstage.
Xiang Chu handed the materials to Inaya Ichiro and said with a smile:
"Uncle Inagu! You should be the host."
Inaya Ichiro said hurriedly:
"Captain of the Shadow Bureau! My rank is too low, or..."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "You are an old man in the Imperial Consulate in Hong Kong. You are very capable and can do the job. But please hurry up as I have another important meeting to attend."
Inaya Ichiro was flattered and nodded, "Okay!"
He picked up the meeting materials and read them at a very fast speed.
There are still a lot of procedures to go through, and Ichiro Inaya looked at Xiang Chu in embarrassment.
Xiang Chu pretended to be in a hurry, looked at his watch, stood up and announced:
"Gentlemen! The meeting is over! Let's all go to the cafeteria and have dinner."
The Chinese celebrities who were forced to attend the conference were immediately ecstatic.
They were very worried about signing the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Belt Initiative.
Xiang Chu saved all the procedures, which made them ecstatic.
Someone even walked up to Xu Lai and thanked him:
"Xu Da Ming Xing! Thank you for letting the director of the film agency end the meeting so quickly."
Xu Lai smiled and said, "No? He has to attend another meeting. Let's go!"
"good!"
The Chinese celebrities hurried out of the venue, not even bothering to eat.
The Japanese celebrities stood up and left the venue, leaving only one reporter sitting in the last row of seats, motionless.
Xiang Chu sensed that something was wrong with the reporter and waved to Xu Lai, motioning her to go up to the podium.
Xu Lai walked up to the podium and said angrily, "Husband! Almost everyone has left, why don't you leave the venue?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "I escaped a disaster on stage, and I feel there is another disaster off stage. Let's go backstage."
After he finished speaking, he pulled her to the backstage. From the corner of her eye, she saw that the reporter had already stood up and left his seat.
Xiang Chu couldn't help but think to himself: "Am I worrying too much? Isn't this reporter a killer?"
At this time, Inaya Ichiro followed and said with a smile: "Director of the Shadow Bureau! Thanks to you today, otherwise this meeting would not be able to continue."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Yuan Mingyong is trying to kill me everywhere, but I am risking my life to attend the meeting. Uncle Daogu! Is there a seating chart for the delegates?"
Inaya Ichiro nodded and said, "Of course!"
After he finished speaking, he took out the seating chart and handed it to Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu looked at the reporter and asked with a smile:
"What is the relationship between Fumio Aoki, a reporter for the Greater East Asia Kyoei Shimbun, and Hara Akihisa?"
Ichiro Inaya shook his head and said, "I don't know! To be honest, during the time that Yuan Mingyong came to the consulate, he was elusive and didn't tell us anything. We didn't even know about the expansion of the basement.
You must be very careful when you come here this time, and leave immediately after the next meeting."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "I know, he dreams of killing me. Let's go! Let's go to the meeting."
Inaya Ichiro bowed and said, "Hello! I will lead the way for you."
After saying this, he walked up to Xiang Chu and the other man, and pretended to take the bullet for him.
Xiang Chu said gratefully: "Uncle Daogu! Thank you."
Ichiro Inaya smiled bitterly and said, "If you hadn't rescued me so many times, Inaya's life would have ended long ago."
Xiang Chu stopped talking, stared around, remained alert, and followed him to the small conference room on the first floor of the consulate.
Unfortunately, the reporter from the Greater East Asia Kyoei Shimbun, Fumio Aoki, was waiting at the door of the conference room.
When he saw Xiang Chu coming, he hurried forward and raised his camera.
Xiang Chu instinctively dodged and shouted, "Reporter! You are not allowed to take pictures of our director!"
Aoki Fumio didn't expect him to react so quickly. He took back the camera helplessly and said with a wry smile:
"Captain of the Film Agency! I'm Fumio Aoki, the chief reporter of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Daily. I didn't take a clear photo of you in the auditorium just now, so I want to take another one. Please help me."
Although Xiang Chu was wearing a mask, he didn't want the mask to be clearly photographed by the Japanese reporters.
He pretended to be helpless and said, "Aoki-kun! I am the head of the Yamashiro branch of the Shadow Agency. I have many enemies, so clear personal photos cannot be made public. Please understand!"
Aoki Fumio said unhappily: "If you don't want to show up and are afraid of danger, why do you want to lead such a meeting?"
Xiang Chu sneered and said, "This director is not the leader. If you want to take a picture, take a picture of the former director."
Aoki Fumio said disdainfully: "Humph! Don't be complacent, my brother Aoki Kuo is already a member of the Cabinet Intelligence Bureau and also serves as an intelligence specialist for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Xiang Chu didn't bother to care about him and took Xu Lai into the small conference room.
In the small conference room, in addition to Yuan Mingyong's stand-in, two bodyguards, and Ichiro Takei, there was also a Chinese official in a Zhongshan suit, and an attendant and translator in a suit.
The Chinese official was of rather stout build, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a high-end watch and a gold ring, appearing elegant and wealthy.
When Ichiro Tsukei saw Xiang Chu coming in, he hurriedly pulled out two tables and chairs and bowed, saying, "Director of the Film Bureau! You and your wife, please sit here."
"very good!"
Xiang Chu nodded at him and pulled Xu Lai to sit down together.
Fumio Aoki walked into the small conference room and wanted to take pictures again.
Xiang Chu hurriedly ordered: "Mr. Zhuo Jing! No photos are allowed in this meeting. Get this reporter out now."
"Hello!"
Ichiro Takei hurriedly took the order and stepped forward to drive away Fumio Aoki.
Aoki Fumio said angrily: "Captain of the Photo Agency! The former chief and former consul general allowed me to come in and take pictures."
Xiang Chu hurriedly asked Yuan Mingyong's stand-in in an inductive way: "Former Director! Since you don't agree with Aoki Fumio coming in to take pictures, I'm restricting your freedom of speech."
He puts some emphasis on the words "disagreement" and "freedom".
Yuan Mingyong's stand-in said loudly, "I disagree! No one can restrict my freedom."
Aoki Fumio didn't understand what was going on and said angrily, "Hara Mingyong! You actually went back on your word. You and the head of the Shadow Agency just wait for me, I will ask my brother and the Aoki sect to cause trouble for you right away. Humph!"
Ichiro pushed him out of the meeting room and said with a smile, "Mr. Aoki! You really can't take pictures in this meeting. Please go back!"
Aoki Fumio was so angry that he shouted: "Your consul is a fool!"
Ichiro Takei was stunned. He closed the door of the conference room and looked at Yuan Mingyong's stand-in, and saw that he was biting his nails.
The Chinese officials and translators opposite him looked at him in astonishment, with incredible smiles on their faces.
