Beep beep!
The car horn sounded, and the roadblock outside the marshal's mansion opened. The Green Cloud Stronghold soldiers guarding the mansion knew that it was the chief's car at a glance. They quickly made way for Lu Yi's car and drove straight into the marshal's mansion.
Lu Yi had just gotten out of the car and returned to the central hall. At this time, the northeast was really frozen.
However, inside the marshal's manor, there were earth dragons that were set ablaze underground. Even if it was winter, it didn't matter if one stood barefoot in the middle hall.
As soon as Lu Yi entered the central hall, he immediately felt the warmth of the Earth Dragon. It felt even better than an air conditioner!
As expected of Marshal Zhang, he knew how to enjoy himself!
Lu Yi sighed in his heart. No matter which era it was, as long as one had money, one could live like heaven and earth.
"Chief, I have been waiting for you for a long time. I have something to report to you!”
When Geng Yun saw Lu Yi enter the back hall and drink tea from a gold-rimmed teacup, he immediately stood up and shouted at Lu Yi.
"I rushed back for this. Otherwise, I would have gone to the Japanese concession to listen to some music.”Lu Yi teased with a smile.
"Chief, it's like this. I went to the foreigner's embassy to use gold as collateral to exchange for foreign currency." Geng Yun's expression was serious.”
"They had already agreed, but they suddenly said that our name as a free government has not been recognized by the international community, so they can't privately approve the exchange for me.”
Lu Yi's expression was unfriendly when he heard that. There was even something that foreigners did not dare to do with money? They're just trying to extort us."
Geng Yun's tone also began to be indignant, saying,"This humble servant also thinks that this is what they mean, but now they insist on meeting Chief, saying that they want to visit you and talk to you personally about this matter.”
Lu Yi was stunned when he heard that.”
Lu Yi smiled." I haven't come to look for them yet, and they still dare to come and ask for an audience with me. Then let them come. I'm free this afternoon."”
After Geng Yun heard this, his expression seemed to be a little difficult to say. He said in a low voice," Chief, Su Hong Guo's envoy also said that he wants to see you. He also said that he has a message from the highest leader of Su Hong Guo…"
When Lu Yi heard that, Su Hongguo?
The highest leader of Su Hong Guo?
Wasn't that Aliruyawa's father, Iron Father Starling?
Lu Yi's face was filled with black lines. He knew that this matter could not be hidden. In the end, he still had to come.
Lu Yi would never hand over Aliruyawa. Now that she had become his woman, Lu Yi would never send her back to Su Hongguo.
Old Man Steel could not do anything to Lu Yi now. The border between the three eastern provinces and Su Hong was guarded by the Japanese Kwantung Army. Unless the Russians started a war with the Japanese, it was impossible for them to enter the northeast.
One had to know that the Russian brown bear had long coveted the fertile land of the three eastern provinces.
It was only because the enemy, Japan, was there that they did not make a move.
Lu Yi muttered," Let the envoys of the other countries come to the marshal's residence first. Let them come together. The envoy of Su Hongguo will stay last. Let him come tomorrow."”
"Alright! Chief, I understand. I'll make the arrangements now!”Geng Yun immediately nodded, turned around, and walked out of the back hall. He stepped into the middle hall, left the warm marshal's residence, and stepped into his car.
Weng!
Geng Yun's car started up in a flash and drove towards the Free Government's encampment.
Lu Yi looked at the back of the car with an uncertain expression.
It was time to meet these foreigners.
Lu Yi knew that the whole of China in the 1930s and 1940s was a story of warlords supported by foreign powers fighting against the central government.
As for Lu Yi, he would never be controlled by any of the superpowers.
.....
Three in the afternoon.
This was a good time to work after an afternoon nap, and it was naturally the same for the envoys of the various countries stationed in the diplomatic missions.
But today, the envoys didn't even dare to take a nap. They rode to the marshal's residence early in the morning and waited for the door to open in the afternoon.
The ambassadors of the major powers in the world, such as England, France, Germany, America, Italy, Japan, and China, had all arrived today.
"Yo! Charlemagne, didn't you say that you wouldn't come to see this bandit? He would insult the noble morals of your Ying Country's gentlemen. Why did you still come? He finally knew how important Lu was to the interests of the Ying Country?”
Minister Siwenko laughed loudly at the Minister of Ying.
"No, don't talk nonsense. I admire Mr. Lu very much.”Country Ying's envoy rolled his eyes at him. He seemed to be afraid that the people from the marshal's residence would hear his words and quickly walked into the marshal's residence.
In the central hall of the marshal's residence, the six envoys were drinking tea while waiting for Lu Yi's arrival in the warm earth dragon room.
Geng Yun, Zhang Jinghui, and a few government members also took some time to sit at the side and wait for the meeting.
Finally, more than ten minutes later, Lu Yi, who was wearing a set of brocade clothes and a thick fur coat that was worth a lot of money, slowly walked out of the central hall.
"Hello, Mr. Lu!"
The envoys who were chatting happily suddenly stood up and said to Lu Yi in unison.
The current Lu Yi was already very important to the interests of the various countries in the Far East and even Asia!
All the foreigners were looking forward to meeting Lu Yi and discussing cooperation.
It was just that Lu Yi had never washed away his identity. The envoys of the various countries did not know what kind of identity they would use to meet Lu Yi.
Today, they finally saw Lu Yi in person. How could they not be excited?
"Hello, everyone. Today, we are only talking about cooperation and business. I don't care what political party you belong to or what ideology you have. I hope that all topics unrelated to our free government transactions will not appear in today's conversation. (English)"
Lu Yi's eyes were dark as he stared at the various envoys and spoke in fluent English.
"That's great, Mr. Lu. I didn't expect your English to be so good. You even have a London accent! (English)"
After the envoy of Country Ying heard this, he said in surprise. He could tell on the spot that Lu Yi was speaking standard London English.
In this era of international communication, all envoys had to understand one language, which was English.
"Mr. Lu, I have to say that your English level is too shocking. I can't find a second leader like you in China. (English)"
"This is too shocking. Please allow me to convey my admiration to you, Mr. Lu! (English)"
"As expected of the conqueror of Manzhou. I admit that my prejudice against you was narrow-minded! (English)"
After hearing this, all the envoys were shocked to the extreme. Shouldn't Lu Yi be a rude and uneducated bandit in their impression?
Why was his English so good and his speech so organized!
These words were not hypocritical compliments. After seeing Lu Yi in person, all the foreign envoys instantly changed their impression of Lu Yi. They even ignored the content of his words.
In this era, fluent English with a London accent was simply a symbol of nobility!
Lu Yi revealed a faint smile. In his previous life, he had learned British English since he was young. He had even had a girlfriend who was an international student in London. His English accent could be said to be not much different from that of a Londoner in this era.
