Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 1053 Lin Jun, you really are amazing!

"According to you, the resurgence of banditry in eastern Hebei is entirely due to the massive influx of refugees. I've heard reports from Henan province that there are at least several million refugees this year. So many people—we can't possibly rescue them all, and we can't possibly kill them all..."

Okamura pondered for a moment, then looked at Lin Ze, "Lin-kun, do you have any good ideas?"

Lin Ze said with difficulty, "Such a big matter can only be decided by Your Excellency. I really don't have any good ideas."

Okamura nodded, then fell into deep thought.

Indeed, this is not a good situation.

Just then, Okamura Tadamasa suddenly spoke up, "Father... Commander, I don't think this matter is difficult at all."

Old Japanese man Okamura frowned. His son had gotten too cocky!

“Zhongzheng, don’t speak carelessly. Anything involving the security of the entire territory is no small matter. You say there are no difficulties? Do you already have a feasible plan?”

Okamura Tadashi coughed and said loudly, "Father, this is what I'm thinking. The reason why these refugees have become a major threat to the security of the entire region, and even have been recruited by the resistance, is because they are outside our control. Since that's the case, why don't we just bring them under our control? Most of those who have made it all the way to eastern Hebei are young and strong. We can train these people and then set up a few factories and mines. By the way, isn't there a mine in Jingxing? We can just send these people to mine coal. In this way, these refugees can not only create wealth for us, but also, when it matters, they can be converted into new divisions of the security army on the spot."

When Okamura heard this, he thought it was feasible, but there were too many things to consider. "You're being too naive. You're recruiting tens of thousands of people at once. Where will they get their food and clothing? Factories don't just grow out of the ground. You think you can just set them up like that?"

Lin Ze knew it was his turn to speak.

"Your Excellency, since your son is willing to do some things, we should naturally give him our full support. Putting aside other things, Tianjin still has several factories. We can have them send some personnel to build a number of branch factories. The only thing that matters is grain..."

Okamura Tadamasa waved his hand dismissively, "I have a way to get food too!"

He has completely found his footing. What does a child like him, who lacked love and was timid from childhood, need the most?

The greatest need is to show off.

To put it bluntly, it's about liking to stand in the center of the stage but also being afraid of it, enjoying the attention of the crowd but also worrying about making a fool of oneself.

In this situation, if someone could rehearse with him beforehand, present him with various solutions, and then let him step forward to solve a few key problems, he could gain attention...

To put it simply, it's just like training a dog; you focus on training whatever it lacks.

When Okamura heard this, he was genuinely surprised.

Holy crap, I know my eldest son's character very well. There's an old Chinese saying, "You can tell what a person will be like at three years old." I never realized my eldest son had this kind of talent for handling things!

Does it mean that people suddenly become enlightened as they grow up?

"Zhongzheng, tell me if you have any ideas."

“Father, it's like this. Some time ago, I did business with Mr. Miyamoto and handled a batch of grain. This grain was purchased by Jinling, but at the time, Mr. Miyamoto signed the contract under the guise of disaster relief grain in order to reduce risks. I thought, since it's disaster relief grain..."

Okamura immediately understood what was going on: "Would Nanjing agree to this?"

“Father, it complies with the contract and their representatives have signed it, doesn’t that mean they agree?”

"Are their representatives able to sign?"

"Their representative is a man named Gu Baoheng. In Nanjing, he is the deputy director of the Special Committee for the Control of Materials. I have promised him that a Special Committee for the Control of Materials will also be established in North China. As long as he is obedient, I will appoint him as the director. Father, we can take this opportunity not only to resolve the current issue of refugees and ensure the safety of the entire region, but also to seize control of the flow of materials. At that time, the people, finances, and resources of North China will be entirely in your hands..."

Okamura, that old devil, jumped up!

My son Zhongzheng has the bearing of a great emperor!

He took a couple of steps with his hands behind his back, then suddenly chuckled a few times. "Lin Jun must have taught you a lot of these things, right?"

Okamura Tadamasa was startled. "My brother Lin is indeed incredibly insightful. He even foresaw this!"

He cleared his throat. "Father is indeed incredibly insightful. When I was thinking about these things, I consulted Lin Jun quite a bit. With this good teacher and friend, I was able to understand the key to handling things, understand Father's difficulties, understand the importance of the security of the entire North China region to Father's future, and understand our family..."

Lore!

Okamura, the old devil, reddened his eyes and turned his back.

Lin Jun, Arigato!

"Alright, then I'll leave this to you. It'll be a good experience for you too. Don't slack off. If you have any questions, ask Lin Jun."

"Ha Yi, Father, but..."

Okamura Ninji turned around. "What, is there something else?"

"However, even though the grain can be brought over legitimately, Nanjing will probably still cause trouble. What if they send high-ranking officials, or even personnel from the China Expeditionary Army or the Central China Front Army..."

Okamura waved his hand. "So what if they come? It'll just be a lot of wrangling. How about this, I'll call Kitahara. Oh, right, and that Doi Hazumi too. He's now the Deputy Chief of Staff, promoted to lieutenant general. He's just sitting around doing nothing anyway. How about it? A major general and a lieutenant general, they should be able to keep things in order, right?"

The people in Nanjing felt that as long as they claimed that this batch of grain was military rations and sent several groups of people to put pressure on them, North China would have to be afraid.

In reality, if you're so capable, bring in Hata Shungo. Otherwise, even a few major generals or colonels wouldn't be enough. They think the governing committee can't move Japanese officers of too high a rank.

The governing committee certainly can't, but Lin Ze can!

At that time, traitors will fight traitors, Japanese soldiers will fight Japanese soldiers, colonels will fight colonels, major generals will fight major generals, and there will be a lieutenant general to keep things in order in North China.

Let them argue!

Lin Ze wouldn't say a word for at least ten days or half a month.

Okamura Tadamasa was still excited as he left the army headquarters.

For so many years, he had fantasized countless times about being able to speak passionately in front of his father and win his respect. He never expected that it would come true today!

He was like a child waiting for praise from his teacher, eagerly asking, "Big brother! How did I do?"

Lin Ze gave a thumbs up, "Great! It's beyond words! Actually, I didn't have high hopes when I came here today, because this matter is too big, and you're so young, it's normal that you can't handle it. But I didn't expect that the General would not only agree, but also give such great help. I can see that he did this not because you are his son, but because he truly recognizes your ability!"

Upon hearing this, Okamura Tadamasa felt as if he were floating on clouds, lightheaded, as if he were high on drugs!

Lin Jun, Arigato!
