Chapter 46 The Undercurrent of Nord Principality

Compared with Europe, Japan's economy has begun to recover at this time, and the people coming and going on the streets are completely different from the Duchy of Nord. Whether it is walking or looking, there is no slight relief at all.

At this moment, Joseph was a little confused. He didn't know whether his customized national policy was correct. To put it nicely, the Nord citizens at this time lived a leisurely life, but to put it badly, they were lazy and had no desire to struggle at all.

Why was Japan and Germany so powerful during World War II, old-fashioned, meticulous and regular life perhaps one of the reasons, but now the Principality of Nord is taking another path.

However, on the other hand, Joseph did not have the intention to compete for hegemony, and there was no need to compete for hegemony in the new era. It was too tiring and too difficult, and Nord's foundation was not qualified to compete. Since that is the case, why not make your country happier? Think about it, the confusion in Joseph's eyes was gone, and instead he was determined to go on which path to firmness.

Marceau, who was standing by, didn't know that his grandfather had experienced a fierce struggle. Looking at the passerby walking outside the car window, Soma was curious inside, and curious about a completely different living environment.

Not long after, the Kyoto Welcome Hotel appeared in front of the convoy. The general manager of the hotel was waiting at the door early. As soon as the car stopped, he stood up as if a soldier was waiting for the general's inspection.

"Dear Your Highness Joseph, on behalf of the Kyoto Welcome Hotel, please welcome you here!"

He nodded slightly to the general manager who was talking. Joseph walked towards the hotel under the guidance of the waiter. When he went upstairs, he also saw some blonde and blue-eyed Westerners. If nothing unexpected happened, these should have something to do with the United States.

"Mr. Kentaro Matsumoto, if possible, I hope to visit His Majesty the Emperor."

"Hi! Sorry, Your Highness Joseph, our emperor is not in good health and is not suitable for receiving guests. Please forgive me."

Joseph just tried it out, and when he saw that the Japanese emperor was very determined, he stopped insisting. He didn't know that his giving up made Kentaro Matsumoto breathe a sigh of relief.

He said a few words casually, and sent Joseph to the presidential suite, Kentaro Matsumoto and said goodbye. Joseph did not stop him and allowed him to leave. It was not until Kentaro Matsumoto left that Joseph called the general manager of the Kyoto Welcome Hotel and asked what fun places were in Tokyo.

"A fun place? The most fun and lively thing in Tokyo should be the Cherry Blossom Festival, but now it is not the time for cherry blossoms to bloom. Sensoji Temple is also good. You can go and have a look."

"Isn't the Yasukuni Shrine open to the public?"

"Forehead……"

The Prime Minister of Kyoto Welcome Hotel did not think of going to other places. After all, he did not know that Joseph was a Chinese in his previous life, and he also had half of Chinese descent in this life. The general manager simply felt that it was not suitable to talk about this topic. After all, World War II had just ended, and the Yasukuni Shrine...

"I'm just talking casually. Sensoji Temple is a temple?"

"Yes, His Highness, Sensoji Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo. There are many shops selling Japanese specialties and pastries, especially there are celebrations all year round, which is the most lively."

The general manager of Kyoto Welcome Hotel still regarded Joseph as a child and introduced lively places with candy, but he didn't know that his words made Joseph feel amused and crying.

After the general manager left, Joseph did not go out immediately. The long flight made Joseph very tired, and lying down and taking a nap was the most important thing to do at this time.

At the same time, the US Secretary of State had not arrived at the Principality of Nogo, but the Nord Cabinet was controversial. James was not there and Smith was not there. The remaining cabinet members were all newcomers promoted by the Joseph era. Compared with the old people of Ragner, there were still some problems with their loyalty.

If a party appeared at this time, then the old men of the Ragner family led by James were a faction, and Smith was one of them. Andy's Ministry of Internal Affairs, Guard Bureau and Imperial Guard had a special status because they could form a single faction, but the Zhejiang faction was the direct line of Joseph, so he was only in charge.

The rest are some officials left by Cres and some immigration officials. Most of them have real talents and knowledge, but their loyalty is definitely not as good as the old people of the Ragner family. They even have only respect and a little awe for Joseph.

The army has architectural brainwashing effects. Joseph has never been worried about their loyalty. It is different for this group of people. Neither James nor Joseph relaxed his guard against them. However, James did not know what Joseph thought, and he often reminded Joseph from time to time in his worries.

It was because of these words and Andy's loyalty that Joseph did not disband the cabinet and James continued to stay in the position of Prime Minister of the cabinet.

In fact, Nord now has a fourth party, that is, the current members of the House of Commons after the parliamentary system. Although they were restricted by Joseph, they were not subject to restrictions. They have criticized the government many times. Every time Joseph remains neutral and ignores it.

The purpose of establishing the parliamentary system was to let the parliament restrain the government, but the power of the parliament is still too small to meet Joseph's request at all. This time, Joseph left Nord, which also gave the government some people with interest a chance, and by the way, Joseph defeated them.

At this time, the person in charge of the cabinet was Robert, the Minister of Civil Affairs. He was the only French official left since the Cres era. Of course, it should be said that French people are more suitable now.

From the beginning of the cabinet security chief to the defense secretary appointed by Joseph himself, the health minister who ended the Cres era, and now the Minister of Civil Affairs, Robert has the highest qualifications as Nord.

In fact, both Joseph and James wanted to remove Robert more than once, but his ability was outstanding and there was no justifiable reason. Some things even if Joseph wanted to do it, they had to take into account the honor of the government and the royal family.

Cres left the office, and most of the officials at that time surrendered to James, and only a few were still relying on Robert to stay in their original position. Even these people felt that their backers would not last for too long, but things were often beyond their expectations...

Integrity, ability, and ability to be a human being. In an instant, Robert burst into an expression that was not even in the Cres administration, which made James, who had just taken over as Prime Minister of the Cabinet, feel unable to start.

As time passed slowly, although his inner vigilance had not diminished, James actually recognized Robert's status in Nord, especially since he had immigrated to Nord.
