Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

Chapter 78: Promotion and Marriage
The Emperor was about to speak when his cousin, the Empress, who was standing beside him, got a signal from her cousin and smirked. She quickly pulled the Emperor aside and whispered, "Aoki doesn't have a title, so his status is unequal."

The emperor saw the empress laughing, reminded her with a word, then looked at Fujiwara Mio and figured it out!
"Haha, yo, this kid is smart!"

It doesn't matter who you give it to. Ultimately, it needs to be handled by experts and put into production as soon as possible! As for authenticity, there's basically no need to worry.

So who is he giving it to? It's just a formality, but if he gives it to Speaker Fujiwara, who then hands it over to the Emperor, the Fujiwara family will have both face and substance! The relationship between Miss Mio and Aoki Qiao is confirmed!

Chairman Fujiwara was delighted to receive the four rolls of film from Aoki Takashi, who handed them to him. "This guy is great, he's got good taste!" He's also a handsome guy, and a perfect match for Mio!
The subsequent process was simple. Speaker Fujiwara handed the film to the Emperor on the spot, and the Emperor personally handed it to the expert group. The expert group was escorted by the army to the laboratory that was ready.

The others returned to the palace, and that night they had a banquet, both the host and the guests had a great time. At the banquet, all the stories that Chen Jiehua had made up were used. With the perfect cooperation between the two, the stories were told in a thrilling way, and everyone listened with great interest!
Giving Doi-hun the eye drops was also to complete the set goal. The General Staff Headquarters stated on the spot that it would recall Doi-hun, who performed poorly, to report on his work.

At this time, a discordant voice sounded.

"Aoki-kun has inherited all the true teachings from your grandfather, right?"

"What do you mean by that, Nagata-senpai?"

"Mr. Aoki's strategy of pretending to build a plank road while secretly attacking Chencang has been executed to perfection, but it has caused great hardship to the soldiers of the Kwantung Army!"

After all this time, the old guy is here to put on a fuss and speak up for the Kwantung Army.

"Thank you, Nagata-senpai! To ensure the formula can be safely returned to the country, any effort and loss is worth it. Everything is for the rise of the Great Japanese Empire!"

Chen Jiehua retorted. "You're unwilling to serve the empire? Old man, I don't have any grudge against you, do I?"
"There's a very good saying in ancient China, 'One general's success is built on the bones of thousands of soldiers!' I think my daughter Mio and Aoki's strategy is very good!" The father-in-law likes his son-in-law more and more, and he will never allow you old guys to bully him!
However, now that the old man has made this clear, the feud with the Kwantung Army cannot be resolved!
On my second day, I killed a colonel. Six months later, I hadn't made any significant contributions. And now, I've been dealt a heavy blow. The entire Kwantung Army's operatives have entered Red Russia and are almost running all the way to Moscow along the railway line! Countless casualties, and in the end, there's no one to pick up! All for you to do, to sneak back through a small path!
What a great play of the Thirty-Six Stratagems!
Chen Jiehua thought, if it can't be solved, then it can't be solved. I still have to continue digging holes later anyway. It's better if the grudges cannot be resolved.

The old man's conversation ruined the harmonious atmosphere, and everyone lost interest in drinking and bragging, so the banquet ended early.

After the show, Aoki Qiao's second uncle, Shimazu Tadahiro, came up and patted Aoki on the shoulder, "Nephew Qingxuan, don't pay attention to that old guy. He is a friend of Saito and wants to cause trouble!"

"Hello, second uncle. Chief of Staff Saito Tsune? We don't have any conflicts with the Saito family?" The Saito Chen Jiehua could think of was the former chief of staff of the Kwantung Army. It seemed that he had a good relationship with him.

"Could it be that Chief of Staff Saito was recalled to headquarters and assigned to the reserve? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me!"

"But Nagata believes the root of the problem lies with you. You killed Sakurada Takeshi of the Sakurada family right after you reported for duty. The Saito family believes they are implicated by your murder."

"What's the connection? He was recalled because..."

"Don't worry about it. Your uncle has suppressed that matter. Just make a good career out there. The family is happy. This is great! Father told me to tell you to go back and see him sometime." Chen Jiehua understood. The Shimazu family seems to be struggling financially, so are they interested in the pharmaceutical business? Sure, I could use the Shimazu family's reputation to my advantage. I really need to go and see them sometime.

However, the issue between the Saito family and Nagata Tetsuzan must be clarified first. It is not that the second uncle says not to care about it. Chen Jiehua does not want to be stabbed in the back again. The unknown is the most terrifying.

The next day, Aoki Takashi and Fujiwara Mio made a special trip to visit Nagata Tetsuzan with gifts and a sincere attitude. Seeing that Aoki Takashi was so close to him, Nagata told him the truth: Sakurada Takeshi was recommended by the Saito family to join the Kwantung Army in order to assist Saito Tsune in his work.

As a result, Aoki Takashi, a young and naive man, caused a conflict and had no time to buffer. He killed Sakurada Takeshi with a knife that night. Saito Tsune was not present at the time, otherwise the matter could have been resolved through mediation. Unfortunately, it was too late when he found out the next day. Saito Tsune knew Aoki Takashi's background, so Saito, who was always cautious, did not dare to touch Aoki Takashi.

However, Sakurada Takeshi is the only officer of the Sakurada family. He has worked hard to climb to the rank of colonel and is the hope of the whole family. The Sakurada family does not dare to provoke the Shimazu family, so they pester the Saito family every day, making the Navy Admiral Saito Minoru very passive.

It would be easy to figure out the whole story. With Aoki Takashi's current status, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a rising star. He personally visited the old chief of staff Saito Tsune, and then naturally visited the head of the Saito family, Admiral Saito Minoru, who was then the deputy commander of the Navy.

After friendly communication, Chen Jiehua promised to give the Saito family a share of the subsequent pharmaceutical business, and also paid a sum of money to appease the Sakurada family. The matter was resolved satisfactorily.

In the end, Chen Jiehua only spent a little money and made a blank check to gain the friendship of the Navy Department and the favor of Nagata Tetsuzan.

Later, Chen Jiehua followed Fujiwara Mio to attend the banquet of the nobles, and also took Mio back home with him.

In Kagoshima, Kyushu, of course, he and his mother had to make a special trip back to the Shimazu family to meet his grandfather, Shimazu Tadashige. Before the family banquet, Aoki Takashi, his uncle Shimazu Tadayoshi, and a group of relatives reached a series of family business agreements.

The Shimazu family has always had connections in the navy. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The family has land, sea, shipyards and docks, which is very suitable for Aoki Qiao's future plans!

At the family banquet, watching the retainers' kendo performances and listening to his second uncle's introduction to the family's kendo, Qingmu Qiao generously accepted his uncles' recommendations. After he had established a firm foothold in the Republic of China, he would transfer his unsuccessful cousins ​​to learn the pharmaceutical business from him!
Because the preliminary experimental process was omitted, the expert group completed the comparative experiment on the efficacy of the drugs on the 15th day. The two groups of drug experimental groups corresponded to the other two groups, and the efficacy was exactly the same!
The news was immediately passed back to the House of Lords and the Cabinet, and the military and political circles were in an uproar!
That night, the Emperor convened another banquet, and all important members of the nobility and military and political leaders in Tokyo attended.

Witness the historic moment: The Emperor announced
1. Japanese Penicillin and Prontocillin will be officially put into production!
2. Grant Aoki Qiao the title of Viscount!

3. The Emperor personally granted Aoki Takashi and Fujiwara no Mio a marriage, and the wedding was held on an auspicious date;

4. Aoki Takashi was promoted to the rank of Army Colonel and was directly under the General Staff Headquarters.
