Chapter 153 Tokyo, is Tokyo hot?
June 6, 1996.
A Delta Air Lines Boeing 747 slowly descended to the ground above the neon Tokyo International Airport.
This behemoth finally landed safely and successfully on the airport's main runway.
As the roar of the engine shut down, the plane arrived at the private apron of Tokyo International Airport.
Wendy arrived in Tokyo five days in advance and was already waiting on the private helipad with a group of bodyguards and a rented fleet of cars.
The evening breeze blew Milo's windbreaker into a beautiful shape in the air as he left the cabin.
Milo took a look at the Tokyo International Airport, which was no smaller than Kennedy International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport, and even looked larger.
Taking a deep breath, Milo walked down the ladder.
"Where did the car come from? It doesn't look like it was rented."
In the carriage, Milo looked at the car he was riding in and spoke casually.
"ha--"
Wendy laughed: "Richard Chester Mark, boss, you should have heard of this name."
"The Mark family of Rhode Island?"
"Yes. This guy made a stupid little mistake last year, and now he's facing a cut in his subsidies and retirement income. When I came to him and wanted him to help me get some special license plates that would allow me to drive freely in Japan."
Wendy said: "After he knew you wanted to use them, he became very cooperative and handed over a total of five vehicles with special license plates from Yokota Air Force Base for us to use."
At this point, Wendy added: "Our people have already done a special inspection and disassembled the entire car. They are all safe and clean, and there are no problems with the car."
Milo smiled and nodded, casually asking what Richard Chester Mark had done.
How could a good American Navy admiral be punished like this?
It turned out that last year, there were three Niggers at the American base in Japan who raped a Japanese girl after drinking.
This kind of thing is not common in Japan, but it should be considered a precedent.
It would be rare if the US troops stationed in Nepal did not commit such incidents several times a year.
However, this time Richard Chester Mark was unlucky.
This incident caused a big stir, and Richard Chester Mark, the person in charge, said something stupid - "They could have used the money for the rental car to pay for the car, but they didn't. They are so stupid."
This sentence was published in the local media by someone with ulterior motives, causing a lot of public opinion.
So Washington had to show some respect and reduce Richard Chester Mark's salary and future pension.
The Mark family is a military family from New England, Rhode Island.
The positioning is similar to that of Hector’s Cabrera family, but the ecological niche is a little lower.
He is also a member of the Boston Consortium.
For Blackburn, this is their own.
"He must have been targeted."
Watching the convoy drive into downtown Tokyo, Milo smiled and said, "If he hadn't been targeted, even if he had said bad things about the Imperial Palace family, he wouldn't have ended up like this."
When have Americans ever worried about local public opinion?
Even those three Nicos just retired and returned to their country in the end.
There is no punishment at all.
A court-martial? Not happening.
Richard Chester Mark was the one who was fined the most.
This is simply because of the internal strife among Americans.
I don’t know how much fun MacArthur had back then, but nothing happened to him.
Wendy: “Rumor has it that he and Walter Mondale didn’t have a very good relationship.”
"That's right."
Milo nodded.
Walter Mondale is the current U.S. ambassador to Neon, the real U.S. governor of Neon, and one of Zipperton's confidants.
Richard naturally felt uncomfortable when he was bullied by him.
As we were chatting, it was already getting dark when the convoy arrived in downtown Tokyo.
After eating a little at the hotel, Milo returned to his room to adjust to the jet lag.
After taking a hot shower, Milo came to the floor-to-ceiling window in his pajamas.
Tokyo outside is colorful under the night sky, and various neon lights flash from time to time.
This reminded him of the various nicknames of Neon in his previous life, and he chuckled in his heart.
Although Japan is a country prone to earthquakes, there are still many high-rise buildings in downtown Tokyo.
After letting out a long breath and stretching, Milo drew the curtains, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.
But he forgot that those dramas were all Japanese and he couldn't understand them at all... It's not that he couldn't understand them, because some Japanese pronunciations are very similar to English, and some are very similar to Chinese.
It just so happened that he was proficient in both Chinese and English, so I could guess what he was saying after listening to him many times.
But this kind of half-understanding situation is the most annoying, and he is not in the mood to guess.
Milo changed a few channels, smiled and shook his head, then turned off the TV.
He took out the information given by the think tank and started to read it. Because of the jet lag, he was not sleepy at all at the moment, so he might as well think about the next itinerary.
He publicly announced that he came to Tokyo this time to negotiate with Panasonic and wanted to acquire the 80% of MCA Group shares held by Panasonic.
This was indeed one of the main purposes of his coming here.
But it’s not the only purpose.
He had another important thing to do when he came to Tokyo.
Of course I didn’t come here to play with Sakura girls.
If you just want to play Sakura Girl, then he is an important part of Lao Mi's top three flags.
He even only needs to say a few words to people from companies like Sony and Panasonic, and they will obediently send the Sakura girl he wants to Milo.
And quite willingly so.
In order to influence the decisions of Wall Street, the Japanese have been investing huge amounts of money in the United States for decades.
On K Street in Washington, almost a quarter of its annual revenue is contributed by Japanese people.
If only sending a few women over could win over Milo Blackburn.
The Japanese will be so happy that their teeth will fall out.
Besides, they have always had a culture of crossing the border, so they don't have much taboo about this aspect.
Not to mention just giving away a few female stars or something.
Even if they were asked to give away their own daughter, they would probably be very happy to do so.
It’s just that the nobles in America attach more importance to their direct bloodline than anyone else.
They just look down on the noble race of the Japanese.
Illegitimate children can live their entire lives, but legitimate children must be the offspring of marriages with wealthy families of the same class.
In addition to Panasonic, there is another important reason why Milo came here this time.
Or it is because of the Southeast Asian financial crisis that is about to break out at the end of the year.
That’s right, he is in the United States and can indeed remotely control the team and participate in this robbery.
But in terms of command, that would definitely not be as close as being there in person.
But his identity, especially his background, was too sensitive - the grandson of Bush, the future son-in-law of Rockefeller, the son of a congressman, and the grandson of the Elephant Party whip.
Any one of them is very sensitive and has a strong political flavor.
With his identities, if he went to Southeast Asia or Hong Kong to be there in person.
There is a high probability that he will be pushed out by that group of people to take the blame and become a scapegoat like Soros.
So he couldn't go there, but Milo wanted to give better command on the scene.
So the best choice is to come to Tokyo.
A place that is both safe and can also play a commanding role.
So those who came with him were not just his bodyguard team and business negotiation team.
The entire Paladin Investment, in addition to leaving a few people on duty on Wall Street to facilitate communication with Wall Street banks.
Almost all the others came, and even a rented Boeing 747 could not accommodate them all. Many of them flew here in advance.
By the way, most of Soros's gang are also in Tokyo now.
Everyone is preparing now.
Once the time comes, these people will go to Singapore so that they can command the situation on the spot more conveniently.
After reading the information for a while, Milo finally felt a little tired.
After resting in bed for a while and sleeping for about two hours, Milo woke up at eleven o'clock in the evening.
Coming out of the hotel suite bedroom, Milo saw Kenny, David and Wendy sitting in the living room.
David was staring at the door of the hotel room in a daze, Kenny was reading a book, and Wendy was lying on the table, writing something.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Hearing Milo coming out, the three of them stood up.
Wendy came over first and said softly, "Boss, how was your rest?"
"Good, I think I'm not jet-lagged now. But I'm worried that I might have trouble sleeping later since I just slept for two hours."
Milo said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. This is Neon anyway. It's still Tokyo. There's a lot to do here."
Wendy: "As long as you want, boss, I can even arrange it for you now."
"But just now, Walter Mondale's secretary came over. He went back after hearing that you were taking a break."
"Ankre Cabrera is here too, but he hasn't left. He's in the next room waiting for you, the boss, to wake up."
"Ankre Cabrera? I think I saw this name in the information just now."
Milo was surprised.
"Hector Cabrera's distant cousin, a member of the Cabrera family."
Wendy: "One of the five officers in the military attaché's office at the Washington Embassy in Neon."
Milo nodded. He had just seen this name in the information.
If the embassy is a representative of Washington as a whole.
This military attaché's office is the Star Corner Building's plenipotentiary representative in Japan.
Thinking about how he had just become the godfather of Hector's daughter Anna a week ago.
Plus, the Cabrera family and the Blackburn family have always had a very good relationship.
Although Ankre has a low rank in the Cabrera family, he has come to their territory.
Then it wouldn't be wrong to meet him in person.
Wendy knew the boss would meet with this Cabrera.
So after a while, a tall American man in a suit with blond hair and black eyes was led in.
"Hey, good evening, Anclay. Hector told me about you. He said he had a very nice cousin. But you lived in Washington as a child, so I never met you before."
After the other party came forward and shook hands with him, Milo smiled and spoke first.
"Hello, Mr. Blackburn. I'm very sorry that I didn't meet you back in America. I'm Ancla Cabrera."
Ankre had a good attitude and looked a little flattered.
And Ancre didn't believe that Hector had ever told Milo about himself before.
Because it is true that he is a member of the Cabrera family.
But the Anchorage branch separated decades ago and has always lived in Washington.
He himself had only met Hector, the direct heir, a few times.
Only Ancre himself was willing to do well and married the daughter of an admiral - well, that was all thanks to his last name being Cabrera, otherwise the admiral would not have been so willing to marry his daughter to him.
Only in this way can he take up the good post of military attaché in Japan and attract the attention of his host.
Only then was he able to grab the task of entertaining Milo Blackburn among the five military attachés in the office.
That’s right, the word used is “grab”.
Because among the US troops stationed abroad, military attachés are responsible for entertaining visitors from the country.
Moreover, entertaining important figures from China has always been the easiest way for military attachés stationed abroad to get promoted and gain benefits, and the easiest way to get promoted and get a salary increase when they return to the United States.
Many times, there are things that military attachés stationed abroad want to do but cannot do, but the bigwigs just need to mention it a few times when they return home.
That would save military attachés stationed abroad several years or even decades of trouble.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Ancre saw that Milo looked very energetic and did not look like someone who needed to continue adjusting to jet lag.
After thinking for a while, Anklei suddenly said softly:
"Although Neon has many shortcomings, Tokyo is an international metropolis with many foreigners living there, so it is more suitable for us Americans to live in."
"Mr. Blackburn, it's the beginning of Neon Midnight Life, are you interested in having a drink?"
Hearing him say this, Milo, who was about to speak with a smile on his face, paused.
He felt that he might not be able to sleep tonight.
The main thing is that I am in good health, so the jet lag problem can be easily solved.
Just now he wanted to call Monica over, who was probably also suffering from jet lag.
Now that Ankle said this, Milo became interested in Tokyo's nightlife.
In his impression, the nightlife in Neon Tokyo seemed pretty good too.
"Is that possible? If so, I'd like to see Tokyo's nightlife and see how it differs from New York and Los Angeles."
"Of course!" Ankre said with a happy smile.
"Okay, let's get ready and go out and take a look. There won't be any work tomorrow, and my meeting with the Panasonic people won't be until the day after tomorrow."
After a while.
A group of people waited and came down from the hotel room.
Together with the few people brought by Ancre, Milo's bodyguards packed the entire hotel lobby.
However, because there were so many people accompanying them, Milo had asked Wendy to rent the entire Hilton Hotel in Neon Port District in advance.
His people and bodyguards are all staying in this hotel now, so he doesn't have to worry about delaying other guests or having other guests interfere with his schedule.
As soon as Milo and Ancre walked out of the elevator chatting and laughing, a bodyguard came up and whispered to Wendy.
Seeing this, Milo stopped and waited for Wendy to come over.
"Walter Mondale's man is still here. He's in the lobby again."
Following the direction of Wendy's finger, Milo saw an American in a suit and tie nodding and greeting him respectfully in the hotel lobby lounge.
"Let's make an appointment. Tomorrow evening or tomorrow afternoon, I'd like to invite Mr. Mundell for a cup of coffee."
Milo instructed Wendy.
After all, he is the American envoy to Neon, and he has a pretty good relationship with Zipperton.
Zipperton even helped himself promote "The Da Vinci Code" last time.
There is cooperation between the two sides.
And if what dad said is true and not nonsense.
Then Zipperton is still his uncle.
The group went out, and as a gesture of friendliness, Milo asked Ancre to ride in the same car with him.
"Let's go, where are we going? I've heard of Ginza and Roppongi in Tokyo."
I had a holiday yesterday and my child had a fever. He is feeling better today, so I will try my best to maintain the three-update schedule.
