Subtitle of this chapter: Who is the second neon gold? Guess it hard!

"But Mr. Yuan, please rest assured that this time it is just a private banquet and has nothing to do with you in the state of our country."

Naturally, Narimi Inoue said this because Sino-Japanese relations have been very tense due to the Qingdao issue recently.

"Hahaha..." Yuan Yanshu naturally didn't mind at all, but smiled, "Mr. Inoue is too proud. I am just an international student, how can it affect national affairs?"

Inoue Narimi said sincerely: "Mr. Yuan is too modest. I and my colleagues all believe that as long as you return to China, whether you go to politics or academic circles to develop, you will definitely become an important figure in your country."

Although this sentence is suspected of being flattered, if I really want to go back to China and let go, it is not just a pivotal matter, but simply destroying the balance...

“Pickup.”

Our Master Yuan smiled without saying a word, and swallowed this flattery in one bite. This surprised "everything and every other is a bit of a slag".

Originally, when he saw Yuan Yanshu's pure Chinese costume and a bald look, he thought that the Chinese was demonstrating to him. As a Japanese, although he would not agree, he could understand it. A young student with some talent was full of energy, and it was not impossible to take this opportunity to humiliate them.

So he deliberately put on a low gesture, and his words also meant to please him. After all, he is a diplomat now and not a naval officer. He originally wanted to have good relations with important figures in other countries. Are the Japanese? This is one of the things they are best at.

However, this Chinese person is not very sharp in his conversation, but rather humble and peaceful, and acts very much like a traditional oriental intellectual.

Now he says he will become a "big man" in the future. Logically speaking, this person is either trepidated or rude, but he is like this.

The strange and strange dress, the etiquette style, and the unconcealed ambitions, the addition of these three makes three words flash in Inoue Narimi's mind. Of course, it's not a lunatic, but...

Yuan Yan suddenly changed to a more relaxed topic and said: "Mr. Inoue, do you have some research on detective novels?"

"Ah, it can't be said to be research, it's just a hobby. But how did Mr. Yuan know?" Inoue Narimi asked in surprise.

Master Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I have a friend studying in Japan. Because I knew I wanted to learn Japanese, I sent me a few Japanese versions of Western novels. Among them is "Shelmes Detectives" translated by Mr. Narimi Inoue. I found that your English was quite fluent, and I couldn't help but think that Mr. Inoue was you?"

The other party said embarrassedly: "This is just my random work back then. I didn't expect that I could still catch the eye of literary masters like Mr. Yuan..."

That's right, Inoue Narimi is really a top student. Edashima was the military school that young people in Japan dreamed of at that time. He graduated with the second place in the Hammock number, which shows that his domineering aura was also very good. He translated several books on "Solmes" during his college years.

In fact, these days, almost all senior officers in the military system of Western countries are intellectuals. The little Japanese, who are determined to "Brexit, Europe and Asia", are very excited to learn from the advanced Western experience, but they end up creating an extremely strange "hammock number" system.

This thing is really a system that uses exams to determine a person's destiny and even a country's national destiny.

"Father of the Japanese Navy" Yamamoto Kobee invented the "hammock number" system to break the door-to-door perspective and ensure that he is meritorious. However, the Japanese's rigid style and seniority habits have become ridiculous things after all.

In short, those who were in the front of the hammock in the same period either retired from active service, otherwise his military rank would never be lower than those who were in the later period. Therefore, one of the major reasons why the Japanese lost the Pacific War was that Ozawa Shisaburo, who was most suitable to serve as the commander of the Joint Fleet, was too late (the same as Inoue Narimi), and his academic performance was too poor (he graduated at No. 45).

In the end, Jisaburo Ozawa didn't dare to be promoted to general, because in this way, no admiral before him could stay in the navy. So the reason why Inoue Narimi became the last general of the Japanese Navy was to give way to Jisaburo Ozawa!

The academic master said in admiration: "But I am just a translator. Mr. Yuan, who can write "Di Gong Case", is really the first person in the Eastern detective novel! When I read "Di Gong Case", on the one hand, I was immersed in the tortuous plots, and on the other hand, I could truly feel the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty..."

"I admire so much that I can combine popular detective themes with serious historical themes so seamlessly!"

Oh, I didn’t expect this guy to be my “soul”.

By the way, Neon Jin also likes detective novels very much. Later, a "Benge School" writer represented by Edogawa Ranbu and Shimada Zhuji appeared. Then I must be involved, and Dangdang "Father of the Benge School" is here!

And plagiarizing the little Japanese really means no psychological burden.

Our Master Yuan made such a pleasant decision in his heart, but he sighed and said, "What a pity..."

Inoue Narimi couldn't help asking: "Mr. Yuan, what a pity?"

He said in a regretful tone: "It's a pity that my Japanese is not very good, otherwise I would still want to write a few detective novels in Japanese."

The other party was surprised and happy and said, "Mr. Yuan actually has such great ambitions, which is a grand event in my Japanese cultural circle! It doesn't matter if your Japanese language is not good..."

Right, that's it. Give me a...well, a dozen Japanese "teachers"!

Inoue Narimi patted her chest and said, "If Mr. Yuan doesn't dislike you, I can teach you."

Nonsense, of course I dislike it!

"Hahaha..." Yuan Yan laughed dryly, "Then why do I have the nerve to bother a diplomat like you. Why not..."

The other party said, "It's better to talk about this later, we're here!"

They have indeed arrived at their destination, the Japanese Consulate General in New York.

The car drove into the hospital, but it did not stop in front of the main building, but an annex building next to it. When the two got off the car, someone went in and communicated.

So they didn't wait long before they saw two neon gold walking out of it like Narimi Inoue wearing a suit instead of a uniform.

The handsome middle-aged man walking in front had a mustache and shaved small flat head, looking in his early forties. In addition to being a little shorter, he still looked very good, and he also had a strong gentlemanly demeanor with foreign flavor in every move.

He also bowed ninety degrees before Yuan Yanshu, and said in very fluent Chinese: "I am a first-class military officer in the United States of Japan..." (Note 1)

………………………………………

Note 1: On the original timeline, these three Japanese military officers in the United States who appeared were also senior naval generals in the future at the end of 1920. Of course, it is hard to say whether they are in New York or not.

But it is not impossible for them to come to New York together in order to get to know our Master Yuan.
