Hardy Empire 1945

That night.

choppy,

Stormy waves hit the shore,

The first cry of the warbler.

Sometimes he sings lightly.

Sometimes I sing with my neck raised.

Red Cliff Fu said: Its voice is humming, like resentment or admiration, like weeping like complaints, and the lingering sound is endless, like a thread.

...

the next day.

In the bathroom.

Steaming.

Hardy was lying on the bath bed, and Sayuri was kneeling beside him to wipe the man carefully. When it comes to serving people, Japanese women are the most considerate and devote themselves wholeheartedly.

This may have something to do with the national character.

After getting dressed, Hadi glanced at the woman kneeling on the tatami before going out, and said, Go back, I will find you again if needed.

For Sayuri, her status is incomparable to Hardy's other women, and she can be called when needed, but she will not be allowed to appear in her life.

As for being influenced like MacArthur, it is absolutely impossible.

The woman obediently sent Hardy away, and she knew her identity very well, so she would not and dare not pester him.

Hardy goes out.

The bodyguards followed behind, and after getting into the car, Hardy thought about it, and ordered the captain of the bodyguards: Notify Duncan, let him investigate Sayuri's situation in depth, and pay attention to whether the Japanese government or people from other forces have contacted her.

Hardy paused.

Also, investigate the situation of Sasaki Fumiko as well.

Good boss. The bodyguard captain said.

Even a tool man must have a clean net worth. Hardy does not allow anyone to count him. He is always wary of the Japanese.

Sayuri put on her clothes, but didn't leave immediately, thinking about yesterday and this morning,

For a man like Mr. Hardy, his status, money, ability, and physical strength are all so perfect, how can he not be loved by women.

Scanning to look at the bed sheet, there was a small flower so conspicuous, she lifted the bed sheet and folded it, took it away and left.

Sayuri rested all morning.

I came to the TV station in the afternoon, and I will record a program this afternoon.

As soon as she entered her office, she received a notice from the director, asking her to go to the director's office.

Sayuri came to the director's office, and the director saw Sayuri showing a warm smile, Miss Yoshida, please sit down.

Director, what do you want from me? Sayuri asked respectfully.

Ah, it's like this. The TV station is planning to plan a singer contest program, which is somewhat similar to the super idols of the US main station. Of course, it is definitely not as grand as that one, but it is also a talent show. This is the first time such an event has been held in Japan. , I believe it will definitely arouse the popularity of the public.”

The TV station has already started preparations. This program still needs a host. The TV station thinks your situation is very suitable and decided to let you be the host.

Sayuri was pleasantly surprised.

This is a major event, and it will definitely attract more attention than shopping introduction programs. At that time, I will definitely become more famous and become a higher-ranking host on the TV station.

Thank you Director for your kindness, I will definitely do this job well. Said Sayuri gratefully.

This program was personally arranged by Mr. Hardy, and the headquarters will send people to help plan it. As the first host, Ms. Yoshida can also join the planning team. The director said.

Hearing that it was arranged by Hardy, the scene of last night flashed through Sayuri's mind again. Is this a reward for her hard work.

Okay, I will try my best to do well. Sayuri said.

 …

Hardy continued to inspect other industries, and in the next few days went to Tobacco Company, Shimizu Corporation, Toshiba Plant Construction Company, Daikin Industries, Toshiba Corporation, Fujitsu Corporation, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Yokohama Rubber Corporation, Toyobo Corporation, Bang Paint Company.

Then he inspected financial companies, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Sumitomo Bank, Development Bank of Japan, Sakura Bank, Tokyo Credit Union, Sumitomo Insurance Company, etc.

The person in charge of each company will respectfully greet him and welcome Hadi's special envoy to inspect. Hadi's identity is not only an economic envoy, but also a shareholder of these enterprises and financial companies.

Duncan came to report this day.

Boss, the matter you asked me to investigate has some clues. Duncan said.

Go ahead.

After two weeks of observation, that Miss Sayuri Yoshida has never been in contact with any suspicious person. Sayuri Yoshida's father is a small businessman, and her mother is a housewife. Miss Yoshida has been studying before entering ABC TV station. She has been studying in England for half a year. She likes Writing, once published an article on the awakening of Japanese women in a British magazine.

Has a relatively progressive thinking and pursues Western freedom. She once told her classmates that she hopes to strive for the pursuit of Japanese women's education in this life.

As for Fumiko Sasaki, we discovered something. Fumiko Sasaki's father was a diplomat and was suspected of engaging in intelligence work. The day before yesterday, a suspected intelligence officer entered Fumiko Sasaki's home and met with Fumiko Sasaki's father. The specific conversation was not found.

However, we monitored the phone calls at their home. During the conversation between Sasaki Fumiko's father and outsiders, your name was mentioned. The other party said that Fumiko must work hard and contribute to the empire like Setsuko Hara. Sasaki Fumiko's father couldn't help it. should be.

Hardy sneered twice.

The Japanese got a Hara Setsuko beside MacArthur, and subtly helped the Japanese do a lot of things.

As soon as I came here, Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida wanted to give Ayako Sasaki to himself, and let women influence him like he did with MacArthur.

But Shigeru Yoshida didn't know that he could not be influenced by a woman. Which of the women around him was not the best, how could he be controlled by a woman.

and,

He hates the Japanese calculating himself even more.

Hardy is not the kind of forbearing character, and with his current status, he doesn't even need to beat around the bush. He called his assistant and said, Call Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida and tell him that I have something to call him.

The assistant hurried out to contact.

Shigeru Yoshida received a call from the Economic Special Envoy's Office and came in a hurry. Hardy was standing in the courtyard practicing shooting.

When he came to this world, Hardy didn't have much interest in other sports, but he liked to practice boxing, fighting and shooting.

These two sports can not only keep fit, but also enhance combat effectiveness. Who knows when they will be used, anyway, it is better to exercise than to exercise.

So at the corner of the manor, Hardy built a small shooting range, and he came here to practice whenever he had nothing to do. There was a small gun room next to it, which was filled with Hardy's favorite pistols, rifles, and shotguns.

The assistant brought Shigeru Yoshida over, but Hardy ignored him.

With a belt around his waist and a beautiful Colt revolver in the holster, Hardy looked seriously at the six glass bottles twenty-five meters away.

Shigeru Yoshida stood not far away and did not dare to disturb him.

Hardy suddenly moved.

The revolver was pulled out quickly, and it fired repeatedly at the distant bottles. The gunshots almost rang into one, which showed how fast the shooting was.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

In the distance, six glass bottles burst into pieces.

Hardy tucked the revolver into his belt smartly when he finished.

Shigeru Yoshida was a little shocked. This Special Envoy Hardy’s marksmanship is really good. He thought of Hardy’s resume. He used to be a soldier in the Marine Corps. He participated in the war against Japan and retired after being wounded on Iwo Jima. A reporter interviewed him Said that he had killed more than 30 Japanese soldiers.

Hardy still ignored Shigeru Yoshida, as if he didn't know he was coming, picked up a Winchester M1887 from the table, and kept shooting at the iron pan in the distance.

Every time a shot was fired, the iron plate in the distance made a crisp sound, rippling in the air for a while.

After the shotgun was finished, he picked up an AK47 assault rifle. This gun was finalized in 1947 and mass-produced in 1949. It has just been deployed in the Soviet army. Hardy managed to get a few of them.

Tut, chug, chug, chug~!

Hardy pressed the barrel of the gun and fired repeatedly at the iron pan in the distance, and the iron pan made a crisp sound like popping beans.

After firing one magazine, he quickly replaced it with another one, and fired again at the iron plate.

After this magazine is finished, Hardy finally enjoys it.

He turned his head to look at Shigeru Yoshida, who saw Hadi looking over, and Mao Yoshida quickly walked two steps to Hadi.

Hardy patted the AK47 in his hand and said, This is a good gun. The Soviet Union has just developed it. It has recently begun to be deployed in the army. I dare say it will become a legend.

Shigeru Yoshida smiled and nodded.

To be honest, he doesn't know much about these things.

I asked you to come, there are two things. Hardy talked to Shigeru Yoshida while dismantling the AK47 in his hand.

Hadi's current behavior is actually very impolite, especially when the other party is the prime minister of a country. Hadi's intention is to suppress the other party's momentum.

Envoy Hardy, please tell me. Shigeru Yoshida's attitude was very respectful, and he didn't show any concern for Hardy's disrespect.

In fact, such people are the scariest.

Like a poisonous snake.

Hardy said:

Recently, I have inspected many financial companies and enterprises. Generally speaking, Japan's economy has been booming recently, factories have orders, millions of workers have been employed, financial companies have also begun to operate, and the economic situation has recovered well.

Shigeru Yoshida said with a smile on his face: Yes, Mr. Hardy, the Japanese economy has undergone gratifying changes in the past six months. Last year, our economic aggregate was only more than 50 million U.S. dollars. It has exceeded this value, and this is all due to Mr. Hardy.

Hardy has no modesty whatsoever.

continued:

I think we can hold an annual economic meeting and invite American and Japanese entrepreneurs to attend. On the one hand, we can summarize the development of the past period of time, on the other hand, we can exchange information on future cooperation, and at the same time, we can also enhance exchanges. What do you think? Hardy said. Ask Shigeru Yoshida.

The economic annual meeting, of course! Shigeru Yoshida said pleasantly.

This kind of annual meeting is definitely good for Japan, how could he not agree.

Well, this event will be organized by the Japanese government. As for who to invite, you should draw up a list. Hardy said.

Okay, I'll do this job when I get back, and I'll report it to Mr. Special Envoy for review after the list is ready, Shigeru Yoshida said.

While the two were talking, the AK47 in Hardy's hand had been disassembled and reassembled again. Hardy picked up a new clip and inserted it into the magazine, pulled the bolt, and the bullet clicked into the chamber.

Mr. Hardy, what's the second thing? Shigeru Yoshida asked with a smile.

Hardy looked at Yoshida Mao with an inexplicable smile on his face, and Yoshida Mao was a little overwhelmed by Hardy's smile.

Prime Minister Yoshida, you sent Setsuko Hara to MacArthur and used Setsuko Hara to exert influence on MacArthur so that the Japanese government could gain certain benefits. I'm right. Hardy said in a flat tone.

But these words sounded like thunder in Shigeru Yoshida's ears.

Originally, Shigeru Yoshida always had a smile on his face, but now his face became unnatural, and he tried to keep smiling, so the smile on Shigeru Yoshida's face became a little distorted.

this kind of thing.

It can be done secretly, but once it is brought to light and the US government pursues it, it will definitely be a huge problem.

Their current status is a defeated country.

MacArthur's identity is the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces. The defeated country bribed the commander of the occupying army with a woman to benefit its own country. If this matter is exposed, the US President and the US Congress will definitely pursue it.

Perhaps more severe sanctions will be imposed on Japan.

Because you are dishonest, you must be more radically remodeled.

Mr. Hardy, Commander-in-Chief MacArthur and Ms. Setsuko Hara met at a reception. They are just friends in private and have nothing to do with the Japanese government. Shigeru Yoshida tried hard to argue.

Hardy still had that inexplicable smile on his face.

Prime Minister Yoshida, I inspected ABC TV a few days ago and saw Ms. Fumiko Sasaki. You should still have an impression of this name.

Yoshida Shigeru's face became even more rigid.

Ah, yes, I remember.

Sweat oozes from Shigeru Yoshida's forehead. It is only May and the weather is not hot yet. It can be seen how nervous Shigeru Yoshida is. As an old politician, he can't hold back when facing Hardy.

Hardy's face became a little colder.

With a submachine gun in his hand.

Looking at Shigeru Yoshida:

Prime Minister Yoshida, I don't want the Japanese government to send anyone to look for her again, nor do I want the Japanese government's intelligence personnel to contact anyone around me. If there is another time, I will regard this behavior as a provocation.

I will use all means, including economic means, personal relationship with President Johnson, and the influence of the seven major financial groups on Congress, to impose the most severe sanctions on Japan. Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida doesn't want me to do this?

Yoshida Shigeru's face turned pale in an instant.

Sweat dripped down his forehead, and there were large patches of sweat on his body.

The whole person feels a little vain.

If this incident is characterized by the United States as a provocation, it may not be as simple as sanctions, and more extreme measures may be taken.

It is possible for a large number of people to be thrown into prison, and the first person to be dealt with must be Shigeru Yoshida, who knows best what he has done.

Yoshida Shigeru ignored the dirt on the ground and plopped on the ground.

Mr. Hardy, I can guarantee that this kind of thing will never happen again, absolutely not! Yoshida Shigeru said and crawled down.

Hardy looked at Shigeru Yoshida, and said calmly: Mr. Prime Minister, I hope you recognize the current situation in Japan and don't use those shady tricks. If you talk about espionage, you may not be the opponent of the United States. What do you think?

Don't dare, really don't dare. Yoshida Shigeru said quickly.

Okay, let's stop here for today's chat, go back and do what I told you to do well, you go back. Hardy said.

Shigeru Yoshida stood up.

He bowed again, and when he turned to leave, his footsteps trembled a little.

After going back,

Shigeru Yoshida immediately called the head of the intelligence department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asked the intelligence department to stop all actions against Mr. Hardy.

After the U.S. military occupied Japan, it carried out a major purge of Japanese military divisions and intelligence agencies. Now the only intelligence organization of the Japanese government is the former intelligence team of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The person in charge heard the prime minister's statement to stop all actions against Hadi, and said eagerly:

Prime Minister, we have received news that Special Envoy Hardy has had a relationship with Sayuri Yoshida of ABC TV. We plan to secretly contact Sayuri Yoshida and instigate her to serve the country. It is a pity to give up now. If Sayuri can become like Setsuko Hara. ...

Before the person in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs finished speaking, Shigeru Yoshida became angry and shouted loudly:

I said stop, stop, don't you understand, stop all intelligence activities against Mr. Hardy, no matter what, in the future, Mr. Hardy, don't have any of our intelligence personnel, and don't carry out any intelligence activities, just Do you understand my order?

Yoshida Moshin said.

Those things you have done have been known to others for a long time. If you continue to do it, Shigeru Yoshida, even the whole of Japan will suffer.

return you?

Get a hammer.

The person in charge of the intelligence department was a little stunned by the scolding. He didn't understand what happened to the prime minister, but he didn't dare to refute any more, and immediately bowed his head. He said that he would no longer carry out any intelligence operations against Special Envoy Hardy.
