Rise of an Empire

In the next few days, the Duke returned to his busy life.

As the boss of the entire consortium, although Thrawn and Natasha can handle most things in his absence, there are some things that still require him, the head of the family, to come back to discuss.

At present, satellite phones have not yet become popular, and the only way to communicate across oceans is by sending telegraphs.

But the telegraph thing can't explain things clearly at all. It is simply wishful thinking to think that like future generations, a mobile phone can solve all the problems in the world no matter where you are.

But fortunately, the biggest gain from this trip to Japan is that I got such a caring little maid like Yamamura Sadako.

Although Bai Sadako is not as fierce in combat as Black Sadako in her state, the skills she displays in various aspects of life are truly astonishing.

Even Gudrun, who was always picky, couldn't find anything wrong with Bai Zhenzi.

In Gudrun's original words, this woman was simply born to be a maid.

Whether it's doing laundry and cooking, organizing documents, helping the owner bathe, or doing some other extra work, Bai Sadako is able to draw inferences about other cases as soon as she learns them, and her learning efficiency is amazing.

Originally, the Duke had been thinking about finding a secretary, but unexpectedly, this troublesome matter was solved by chance.

"It's a lie that the boss went to Japan to invest this time. It's true that he found a personal secretary for himself." Looking at Sadako Yamamura who was processing the documents in an orderly manner, Natasha said to Conrad teasingly.

All in all, Black Widow has been working under him for three years, and the two have long been familiar with each other and can joke with each other.

It's a pity that because of Norman's relationship, the Duke has not had a good understanding of his subordinates until now.

"The construction in Japan is about to start. I want to send a trustworthy person to keep an eye on it. Natasha, do you have any suitable candidates?"

This time, the Japanese government has obtained a lot of preferential policies and low-priced land. If we don't develop it now, it will be too late to wait until the Vietnam War breaks out.

"Boss in Japan, do you really want to invest?" Black Widow was a little confused. You know, since learning that Conrad went to Japan to look for project investment, Wall Street analysts have been analyzing the pros and cons of investing in Japan day and night. .

No way, who told him to still carry the title of the world's financial genius on his head?

But those analysts have lost their minds and don’t know what is worth investing in in Japan.

The products are barren and resources are scarce. It is still an island country surrounded by sea. To the east is the Soviet Union, and the west is completely contained by the strategic deployment of the United States. It is completely nonsense to say that Japan still has any hope of turning around.

Unless the U.S. government suddenly relaxes its economic blockade and trade sanctions against Japan, Japan will be a dead end with no possibility of rising.

As for Conrad's use of Lyndon's connections to improve the trade blockade against Japan

It is still possible for Roosevelt to be reborn. With Lyndon's prestige, if he dares to do that, then what awaits him will definitely be impeachment and immediate resignation.

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you are quick or slow, otherwise what have I been doing these past few months?"

Black Widow looked at the lazy boss in front of her, and several thoughts suddenly went through her mind.

Speaking of talent, as the current top ace in the Red House, even if the Soviet Union changes its leader, it will not have much impact on Black Widow.

She is an ace agent anyway. As long as she has the source of information, no matter who is the boss, he will not attack her casually.

It's just that there has been no good information from the United States during this period, which makes her a little anxious.

If no important information has been sent back for several months, will I be condemned by the organization?

As an ace trained from the Red Room, Natasha was afraid of the organization from the depths of her soul.

"Boss, do you have any inside information?" Thinking of this, Natasha moved her position slightly without leaving any trace, and asked Conrad with a coquettish smile.

Just now, the two of them were sitting on opposite ends of the sofa chatting about something. Now Black Widow moved a lot to the middle because of that thing, and suddenly it became a situation where the two of them were almost close to each other.

Of course, although this distance is slightly closer, it is not a big deal. After all, there is still a distance between the two.

"Why, you want to lie to me like this?" Conrad was a little stunned. Although Black Widow would steal a lot of information from her hands overtly or covertly in the past, she had never acted so urgently.

"Look what you said, didn't you ask me to help you find out if there are any suitable candidates to go to Japan to support?" Black Widow quickly patted her chest to express her innocence.

However, her movements made the Duke look a little dizzy.

In terms of figure, the White Queen's figure is absolutely flawless and can be said to be in absolute golden proportions.

But in terms of huge capital, Black Widow is obviously far superior.

After all, when you have a perfect figure, you also need to pay attention to the proportions, right?

I still remember that Scarlett Johansson, who played the Black Widow in the original world, once revealed that she had undergone breast reduction surgery due to some personal reasons, which made a bunch of wolf friends howl.

As for the Black Widow in this world, there is no need for surgery, so when she flapped her hair deliberately and naturally, it almost blinded Conrad.

Did this girl do it intentionally or unintentionally?

Although according to the original plot, the Black Widow is accustomed to using beauty to seduce targets to obtain information, but she has been working conscientiously in the past three years, and there is no abnormality at all, which makes the Duke a little unsure.

Otherwise, try to get in touch

To be honest, seeing such a beautiful creature dangling in front of him every day, it would be completely nonsense to say that Conrad didn't have any other thoughts in his mind.

But firstly, Black Widow herself did not show such thoughts, and secondly, the other party was Norman's ally after all. For these two reasons, it was really inconvenient for Conrad to take action.

But if this woman can tease him, then he can't blame himself, right?

Thinking of this, the Duke also moved his body slightly, and his right hand unnaturally touched the black widow's jade back.

Natasha's body suddenly stiffened, but she continued to report work to him as if nothing had happened.

play

Conrad felt that he might lose all his moral integrity today. Although he felt a little sorry for Norman in his heart, the hand that rested on the Black Widow's back slowly slid down in a free fall.
