Chapter 804 This Time I'm Really Convinced
The people below applauded enthusiastically, but their attention was not on Matsuzaki.
This is like a concert, Matsuzaki is just the opening singer, the main performer hasn't come on stage yet.
Matsuzaki then began to speak, which was nothing more than thanking for the recognition and promising to continue working hard.
Everyone just wanted him to get off quickly.
Let’s get to the point!
Now everyone really wants to know how the higher-ups are going to promote Mr. Lin, and how his position will change besides raising his military rank.
Also, he clearly didn't accomplish any great deed this time, so why did he get the promotion?
Matsuzaki finished his speech and stepped down from the stage to rest.
Okamura cleared his throat. "As everyone knows, we have another colleague who has always supported the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Belt and has made outstanding contributions in counter-espionage and promoting public security. He is Hayashi Ze."
Having said that, Okamura looked around and finally set his eyes on Lin Ze.
It feels like showing goodwill in public, which means: I will remember the things you do for me, and I will reward you if you do something good, so just look forward to it!
This kind of mentality is quite common. If there is a patriarch in your family, such as an uncle or aunt, this person usually has a relatively high status and is quite powerful. He also likes to be in charge of things and wants to take charge of the affairs of all the aunts and uncles. From children going to school to relatives getting married, his participation and guidance are indispensable.
Such people prefer to show off their contributions. To put it simply, when doing good to others, they also seek some spiritual rewards.
Some young people are annoyed by such elders. In fact, they don’t have any bad intentions. If you get along well with them, such people can be of great help at critical moments.
Lin Ze understood this mentality very well, and cooperated by looking at Okamura with gratitude.
There was three parts of touching, three parts of excitement, three parts of loyalty, and one part of confusion in his eyes.
Okamura was very satisfied with this.
Yo, Mr. Lin is a grateful person, and most importantly, he is very capable. It’s worth it to promote him!
"After I arrived in North China, I saw the wisdom of Lin Ze in many matters. He was also very hardworking, always running around for the empire and the missions of the North China Front. Of course, Lin Ze was not without shortcomings. After all, he was a young man, and sometimes acted rashly and often could not control his emotions. Sometimes he even arrested some officials without the permission of his superiors."
Everyone below was shocked.
Shit, no, Mr. Lin, what is your relationship with Okamura?
If Okamura was just praising Lin Ze, that would be nothing.
After all, it is a promotion ceremony, and it is customary to give some praise.
The key point is that Okamura later "criticized" Lin Ze.
This criticism is very intriguing. First of all, Lin Ze is a young man and sometimes he is rather reckless, which defines his character.
No matter what mistakes Lin Ze made, it was because he was young and inexperienced. It was not a matter of principle.
This is like in later generations, when a senior leader in a unit calls out the name of a young person who has just joined the company at a meeting and says, "This young comrade is still a little unsteady at times and needs more training."
Well, the young comrade’s direct supervisor understands that he needs to be trained more in the future, and he must be allowed to participate in important occasions and have a share in awards and honors.
What Okamura said next was even more frightening.
It is said that Lin Ze even arrested some officials without permission.
Who is this directed at?
Of course, everyone present here!
You know, from the Administrative Committee to other government offices, big and small, what are the many traitors most afraid of Master Lin?
I’m most afraid that Mr. Lin will arrest people if we disagree with something!
We are all traitors. Why do you arrest me just because you say so?
Especially after Master Lin Ping went to the Administrative Committee, everyone was respectful on the surface and didn't even dare to fart, but in fact they were still very resentful in their hearts.
But now that Okamura has pointed this out directly, the implication is: I know he is so arrogant and domineering, but then what?
The little thoughts in some people's hearts were completely extinguished.
Master Lin has people, Master Lin has guns, and Master Lin also has support from above. Do you still want to resist?
Let’s think about how to strike a well-behaved posture!
"After my proposal and the approval of the military, it has been decided to promote Lin Ze to lieutenant colonel!"
The audience burst into applause!
This is a record-breaking move. Okamura really promoted a person who has not yet become a naturalized citizen!
In fact, no one understood Okamura's thoughts, but Lin Ze guessed a little.
This old pervert probably did it on purpose.
He wanted to promote Lin Ze. He could allow Lin Ze's power to expand and he could let Lin Ze make a fortune in the economic field, but he didn't want Lin Ze to obtain Japanese identity.
Why?
Because he made an exception and promoted a non-naturalized person to lieutenant colonel, then he became the source of Lin Ze's power. In other words, he took the initiative to leave a loophole. If Lin Ze disobeyed in the future, he could even inform the military and say that he did not notice that this person was not a naturalized citizen!
How can he be such an important officer without naturalization? Remove him!
But what if Lin Ze becomes a naturalized citizen?
You can just join whoever you want. If you are not happy with your job here, how about joining the Southern Army?
Who wouldn't want a talent like Lin Ze? And who knows how many good things Lin Ze has?
Okamura reached out his hand to suppress the applause, and it died down a little.
"At the same time, considering that the Jinmen Military Police Command has been without an actual chief for a long time, Lieutenant Colonel Lin is now appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Jinmen Military Police Command!"
The whole place was silent for a few seconds, as if all the air had been sucked out and sound could no longer travel.
Gao Shengping turned his head with difficulty and looked at Lin Ze.
Lin Ze didn't look at him, but looked at Matsuzaki first, revealing an expression of shock and panic.
Kitahara Ranjie had a blank expression on her face, but in fact, her heart was already filled with great joy, and she was trying hard not to jump up and scream.
Lin Sang is awesome!
At the beginning, Mr. Lin said that I was in Peking and he was in Tianjin, and we would work together to undermine Matsuzaki. Didn’t this come true?
Lin Ze carefully controlled his micro-expressions. Kitahara and Matsuzaki didn't get along, Matsuzaki and Okamura didn't get along, and these three people all thought that Lin Ze was one of their own.
Can't let the secret show up!
After the whole audience was stunned for a moment, there was applause so loud that it almost blew the roof off!
Everyone is really convinced this time!
I can't accept it!
He is already the commander-in-chief, and you are still not convinced!
The significance of Lin Ze sitting on this position is very huge. It not only means that he has become the most powerful Chinese in North China, but also means that lieutenant colonel is not his final destination at all - the standard rank for the commander-in-chief of the Tianjin gendarmerie should be colonel!
A low position can be upgraded, but a high position cannot be downgraded, which means Lin Ze still needs to be promoted!
After the ceremony, Okamura left, leaving everyone in shock.
Matsuzaki was the second one to leave with a stern face.
Lin Ze did not stay long. He exchanged a few words with everyone and left the Six Nations Hotel.
Everyone gathered behind him and accompanied him down the stairs.
Lieutenant Colonel Lin put his hands in his pockets, not knowing what an opponent was.
