Chapter 787: Beiping No. 1
Chapter 787: Beiping No. 1
While Lin Ze was struggling with the old pervert general in Okamura's office, Matsuzaki in the waiting room outside was almost exhausted.
To be precise, he was obsessed.
It stands to reason that a spy chief who has experienced many ups and downs should not be in such a state.
But Matsuzaki has been doing counterintelligence work for so many years. To put it bluntly, he has never been in a desperate situation. This is the first time he has seen a scene like today.
If the talks go well, then you can continue to be an official and make a fortune.
If the talks don't go well, the best outcome would be to run away, and Okamura wouldn't even give them a chance to run away.
There are only three words in Matsuzaki's mind now: Why?
He feels the same way now as Kitahara Ransuke felt after being slapped by him.
Damn Okamura, how am I worse than you?
I have been working diligently, why do you want me to take the blame?
You have made enough political capital and are jumping around, but you really don't care about the lives of the people below you!
This kind of high emotion will be infinitely magnified when you are alone.
It’s like when you have a small conflict with someone, and you don’t feel anything at the time, but when you go to bed at night, the more you think about it, the angrier you get, to the point of insomnia.
I would even replay that scene over and over in my mind, thinking how I should have scolded him at that time, how I should have slapped him twice!
This is the state Matsuzaki is in now!
Damn it, if you really force me into a desperate situation, then I will also start a mutiny and take Lin Sang to rob old dog Okamura. Isn't this just rebellion? Who can't do that?
At this time, the door of Okamura's office was opened.
Matsuzaki woke up suddenly, stood up, walked to the door of the waiting room, and looked towards the corridor.
Lin Sang was seen standing in the corridor with a serious expression. After he found Matsuzaki, his face showed a bit of humiliation after being scolded, a bit of unwillingness to be manipulated by others, and a bit of relief for achieving his goal.
In the end, these expressions turned into a helpless yet relieved smile.
He walked up to Matsuzaki and whispered, "Mr. Matsuzaki, we don't have to run away."
Matsuzaki shuddered, and felt a sense of relief as if he had been holding his urine for two days and finally was able to pee.
Then, all the thoughts of kidnapping Okamura and fighting to the death that I had just imagined disappeared into thin air.
Damn, it feels good to be alive, and it feels good to be able to continue to be an official!
Then he looked at Lin Ze and wanted to say something, but Lin Ze shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back to the Coordination Bureau."
Then, Matsuzaki was taken away by Lin Ze, the parent, just like a child in school whose parents were called by the teacher.
When they arrived at Lin Ze's office in the Coordination Bureau, Matsuzaki didn't even sit down first. Instead, he waited for Lin Ze to sit on the sofa, personally took out a cigarette box, handed a cigarette to Lin Ze, and then lit it for him.
The most obedient person in Peking, Major General Matsuzaki, Chief of the Secret Service Department.
"Lin-san, how is it?"
Lin Ze took a deep puff and exhaled a long column of smoke. "I tried my best to persuade Okamura to agree not to throw you out. No matter what, as long as he doesn't add insult to injury, we have a chance. However, I don't know if he will trip us up in the future. After all, his promise was made under my threat."
Matsuzaki's eyes widened, and he felt sick all over.
"Mr. Lin...you said you...threatened him?"
Lin Ze smiled calmly, "Mr. Matsuzaki, do you think he can really get away with it? There is a Chinese saying that goes, if you often walk by the river, you will get your shoes wet. Even if Gao Yuebao's death had nothing to do with him, he died in Peking after all. What would Gao Yue's family think? What would the people from the Southward Faction think? A person who just made a deal with him died in his territory. Can he stand on the dry shore by himself?"
"Then how did you threaten me?"
"I told him that if he wants to abandon you, my people will contact higher-level people in the American Intelligence Agency. I will release the news that the Philippine military deployment map has been leaked to the American military. By then, the map he provided to the southbound faction will become waste paper. Not only will he be held responsible for this, but he will also have to bear the wrath of the people behind Gao Yuebao. Do you think Okamura will take the gamble, considering his personality?"
Lin Ze said this without thinking, "So, it's you who was fooled today, and you can still settle accounts with Okamura!"
In fact, if you think about it carefully, what Lin Ze said only sounds shocking. If you think about it carefully, the cost of implementation is too high.
But in this case, it's enough for it to sound shocking.
Matsuzaki was already burnt on the outside by the thunder, "Lin-san, aren't you afraid that he will kill you directly!?"
"Mr. Matsuzaki! If you are always timid, how can you survive in this world? I bet, but he doesn't. This is our only chance of winning. Facts have proved that we have won temporarily, haven't we?"
Matsuzaki bowed and said, "Ha! Mr. Lin, I'm grateful for your advice!"
"Hey, you sit down too, you sit down too, we don't have to be so polite."
Matsuzaki Naoto didn't sit down. Seeing that Lin Ze had finished his cigarette, he refilled it for him and said, "Mr. Lin, what should we do next?"
"Mr. Matsuzaki, we have only won one step so far. There are still many moves to make. However, I have almost arranged everything. As long as we can execute according to the plan, Okamura will not only be unable to touch you, but will also have to protect you and help you become the lieutenant general."
"What? He would be so kind?"
"Think about it, why did he ask you to have a caesarean section? He wanted you to take the blame, but now I've made it clear, can a major general like you take the blame? I asked him to let you go, on the one hand as a threat, and on the other hand I also want to minimize the impact of Gao Yuebao's death. But Okamura's personality, he won't believe that I can completely eliminate the impact of this matter, or he will worry that I have a backup plan, so he wants to promote you and wait until the right time, and then use you as a tool to push it out."
Lin Ze really didn't fool Matsuzaki about this.
People at Okamura's level definitely have different ideas from normal people.
He had not thought too deeply about it, like the dispute between the North and South factions. The reason why he let Matsuzaki take the blame was because he felt that it would be troublesome if Takatsuki Bao died. If the major general Matsuzaki committed seppuku to apologize, the matter would be over, everyone could continue to have fun, and he could also keep the position of the Minister of Secret Service in his hands.
But now Lin Ze had fooled him. In his opinion, Lin Ze's words were not alarmist at all. Instead, they might actually be deep-seated contradictions that could erupt at any time.
What should I do?
If a major general committing seppuku can't solve the problem, a lieutenant general will do.
After hearing this, Naoto Matsuzaki was completely confused. Damn, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Lin Ze pointed out: "If you learn to use this opportunity to turn the tables and even undermine Okamura, that would be a good thing. If you are just a tool waiting to be cut open and take the blame at any time, that would be a bad thing."
Matsuzaki seemed to understand.
