“father!” Yashida Ichirou hurriedly walked into Yashigen’s office, before knocking on the door, he rushed in.

“What do you panic!” Yashigen lifts the head, who was busy processing the documents, scolded his son unhappily, and then asked, “What happened? The etiquette is ignored!”

“I’m sorry, father!” Although Yashida Ichirou looked anxious, she immediately stood still and bowed seriously to apologize to Yashigen.

“Okay, let’s talk about it, what is it?” Yashigen put down his pen, looked at his son, and picked up the teacup on the table.

“father!” Yashida Ichirou stepped forward and handed a black golden invitation to the desk, said solemnly: “father, the Consul General of Los Angeles, Mr. Katayama Kazuyuki, invite father and Odagiri Toshirō Tomorrow night I will go to Ueno Restaurant in the city center to taste freshly marketed golden spear fish.”

“Katayama Kazuyuki?” Yashigen frowned, Katayama Kazuyuki is a veteran consul of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He used to be in the United Kingdom, France has held important positions, and it is said that next year it is likely to be transferred to the Japanese Ambassador to the United Nations, which is not inferior to the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs. Such an invitation from a powerful and powerful figure cannot be rejected casually.

“Banquet at Hongmen!” Yashigen slightly shook the head. It turned out to be like this. No wonder Odagiri Toshirō hasn’t made any moves since arriving in Los Angeles. He originally planned to use Katayama Kazuyuki’s influence to set him Banquet at Hongmen, but this is also good, take this opportunity to end all these troubles.

lifts the head, Yashigen looked towards own eldest son, said solemnly: “Ichirou, you call Consulate General now, thank the consul general for the invitation, and say I will attend the dinner on time.”

“Yes, father!” Yashida Ichirou responded in a deep voice, but he turned and left immediately instead of not at all, but stood still and waited, because he knew that father must also give other orders.

Yashigen knocked on the table lightly, sighed, and said: “Tell Qingzheng, take all unnecessary hands back, maybe tomorrow night all this will have a result.”

Yashida Ichirou took a deep breath, lifts the head, solemnly agreed: “Yes, father!”

After saying that, Yashida Ichirou was not staying, and after a slight bow, he turned and left Now, the decisive battle is coming, he has a lot of things to be busy.

Yashigen turned and looked towards the night sky outside, and the sound of “boom boom boom” came from the handrail he kept tapping, his eyes gradually deepening.

Ueno Restaurant is located in Downtown Los Angeles. The area is not large, but the decoration is unique. The modern style and the Japanese style are integrated. It has a special flavor. It is a place frequented by the upper-class politicians and rich people in Los Angeles , Appointments are usually arranged one week later.

Of course, as the chief consul general of the Consulate General of Japan in Los Angeles, Katayama Kazuyuki is not among the general public. He wants to come here and has a seat at any time, and even if necessary, he can The entire Ueno Restaurant is emptied.

For example, tonight, except for Boss Ueno Toshisawa, the entire Ueno Restaurant has no customer, not even a waiter, everything from ingredients to knife skills, everything is him alone Finished.

Katayama Kazuyuki looks a bit gentle, not tall, a bit big, bald, and a checkered suit of indigo blue makes him look very energetic, and he seems to be only in his forties. But in fact, as a veteran diplomat, Katayama Kazuyuki is already over fifty this year.

The light flashing from time to time in the eyes indicates that he is not simple, and it is true.

Katayama Kazuyuki, born in an aristocratic family, has a strong relationship with the Imperial Family, and even rumored to have the bloodline of the Imperial Family circulating on his body. Over the years, he has always taken a steady pace in the political arena, and unhurried to the upper level, but a little pragmatic foundation to expand his own influence.

In Japan’s political arena, it’s generally difficult for Prime Minister and Cabinet to surpass one term in recent years. They often change to one term in one or two years. So eager to take office is not a good thing. The position of one point, sometimes it can play a better role.

Although there is no title of Minister of Foreign Affairs, Katayama Kazuyuki’s position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not inferior to that of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but he rarely serves in mainland, so outsiders know not much.

In fact, with Katayama Kazuyuki’s qualifications, there is no problem even as the Japanese Ambassador to the United States, but he is not willing to be a consul general in Washington, so he simply went to Los Angeles as the consul general. , Just wait for the Japanese Ambassador to the United Nations to leave next year and go to New York to take over.

The voice that Japan can make in the United Nations is much greater than in the United States, and it can exert more influence.

This is also the reason why Katayama Kazuyuki invited Yashigen to host a banquet. As a Japanese, he still needs to develop in Los Angeles. He must have a good relationship with Consulate General, so it saves him face. It must be given.

Yashigen arrived at Ueno Restaurant half an hour earlier than the scheduled time, but Katayama Kazuyuki had already arrived earlier. As for Odagiri Toshirō, perhaps he is not quite used to American’s communication, according to what Yashigen received News, he should still be at The Hand’s premises now.

Of course, in order to prevent Odagiri Toshirō from doing any tricks secretly, Yashigen has concentrated all his subordinates in the Yashida Building, except for sending people to stare at The Hand Manor.

After the last time the Yashida Building was bombed, Yashigen took the opportunity to carry out some renovations and added a lot of new institutions. It is not easy to attack there unless they are willing to make a big move. Of course, this will attract official attention, especially when Yashigen has prepared too many back-ups.

Yashigen came by himself tonight, with no one except a driver.

“Shingen-kun!” Katayama Kazuyuki thanked Yashigen slightly after hearing the story from his assistant. This is respect for him. Katayama Kazuyuki is very grateful. Today’s private banquet was not actually his intention. If it weren’t for the mainland to exert too much pressure, he would not get involved in these things.

“Please!” Katayama Kazuyuki asked Yashigen to come in, and said solemnly: “Today, Ueno Restaurant is my person inside and outside, so please rest assured, Shingen-kun, as long as I am here, I will definitely not Someone would dare to disadvantage you.”

“Thank you Katayama-kun!” Yashigen stopped and bowed to Katayama Kazuyuki earnestly. It is not in vain that he told James last night I made that call to Katayama Kazuyuki. Although I didn’t touch the substantive content, it’s enough to stop by.

“You’re welcome!” Katayama Kazuyuki slightly laughed, reaching out to support Yashigen, and letting him sit down in front of the bar, while casually asking: “Shingen-kun, next year’s general election, Mayor James has a big grasp Is it?”

“Say not good!” Yashigen lightly sighed, and said a little bit about what oneself had learned: “Their party is full support for him, but like this, The current President has a great advantage. As you know, in the past two decades, no President has failed when he decides to run for reelection. So unless President Ellis has any major problems, the chances of others are not great. “

“en!” Katayama Kazuyuki nodded gently. President Ellis has made a lot of achievements during the four years in power. Of course, there are also many problems. Opportunities for others.

Mayor of Los Angeles James is not young anymore. He only has two chances to run for president at most. Although his chances are not great this time, he has to brace oneself to go up and rush one. Chong, maybe it succeeded!

Just as Katayama Kazuyuki and Yashigen were chatting, Odagiri Toshirō arrived.
