Chapter 235 The plan begins
In addition to Takeo Imai, there is another person who is actually an acquaintance, Inukai Ken.
This person is the consulate counselor, assistant military attaché, deputy director of the Iwai Agency, and a member of the Chinese Affairs Team.
"When do they want to set off?" Chen Yang asked casually while flipping through the report.
"It's best to set off as soon as possible." Iwai Sadatoshi said cautiously: "The situation in China is turbulent now, and the people are in disarray. The people's awe of the empire has reached its peak. This situation is extremely favorable to us."
"We must strike while the iron is hot and strive to gain the support of that party elder, expand the prestige of the empire, and strive to fully control the situation in China."
"This is a big deal. We must and will give our full support." Chen Yang shouted outside, "Secretary He."
He Yuehua heard the sound and hurried in.
"Sir, what is it?"
"Secretary He, go call Dong Ye-kun over."
He Yuehua responded and walked out hurriedly.
After a while, Higashino Daiki walked into the office.
"Sir, you're looking for me?"
Chen Yang nodded and said, "This is Mr. Iwai from the consulate. He has an urgent task that requires our assistance."
"Originally I should be responsible for this matter, but unfortunately, I have asked for leave. Please help Iwai-kun deal with it."
"Arrange it as soon as possible."
He handed the report to Higashino Oki. Higashino Oki took the report with both hands, looked it over carefully and said, "Arrange two people to go to Hanoi, Vietnam."
"It's not a big deal, Iwai-kun. Please follow me to the General Affairs Office and we'll go over the specific itinerary arrangements."
Chen Yang nodded to the two of them.
Seeing the two people leave, Chen Yang picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, is this Billy's Company in the French Concession? I'd like to know when the wine will arrive."
"Oh, the money is ready."
"No, tomorrow. You must arrive tomorrow at the latest."
After saying that, Chen Yang hung up the phone.
He Yuehua walked in holding a cup of coffee and said softly, "Sir, what's wrong with you? You seem a little unhappy?"
"Don't mention it." Chen Yang said angrily, "I just called Billy's Company and asked them to prepare the red wine for the engagement, but they said they would have to wait until tomorrow."
"These people are really unreliable. I'm going to hold a ceremony the day after tomorrow, and the wine hasn't even arrived yet."
"Secretary He, please keep an eye on this. I'm going to be out for a while."
"Commander, please go ahead. I will tell Dongyejun about anything here," He Yuehua hurriedly got clothes for Chen Yang and carefully helped him put them on.
Seeing Chen Yang leave, He Yuehua quickly picked up the phone and said in a deep voice: "Help me redial the previous number."
"Beep, beep, beep," after a few busy tones, a strange voice came from the other side.
"Nihao, Bili Trading Company, how can I help you?"
He Yuehua frowned and said directly, "You dialed the wrong number."
Then, quickly hang up the phone.
"Am I overthinking?" He Yuehua shook her head. Did Chief Chen need to order the wine for the engagement ceremony? Most of the supplies in the entire Shanghai market were under Chief Chen's control. Did he need to order the wine himself?
Hmm? Maybe? Maybe some wine bars that are not commonly seen in the market...
After all, Chen Yang's fiancée is French, and they are not used to drinking Chinese wine...
After eliminating the last bit of doubt in her heart, He Yuehua carefully helped to clean up Chen Yang's office.
In the French Concession, in an unremarkable house.
Chen Gongshu hung up the phone and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Yang was indeed foresighted and knew that there was definitely something wrong with the secretary next to him.
Originally, Chen Yang could have used a more sophisticated way of transmitting information, but he thought that the details of transmitting information were too complicated and would instead attract other people's attention.
Although the phone call was risky, he made the call from his office phone in front of his secretary.
As long as the other party does not have solid evidence, they generally will not and dare not doubt.
Moreover, the time for intelligence transmission is very precious and can easily affect the implementation of the plan.
Looking at his watch, Chen Gongshu walked to the door, opened the curtains, and placed a pot of green plants.
Downstairs, at an inconspicuous noodle stall, the owner skillfully served the cooked noodles to the customers.
At this moment, he saw the curtains on the third-floor window were lifted and a pot of green plants was placed on it. His body inexplicably paused for a second.
The next second, he called to the little beggar beside him and said, "Xiao San, go tell Brother Huang that there will be a big dinner in the evening at seven o'clock. Tell him not to be late."
As he said this, he threw a freshly made pancake to the little beggar.
The little beggar took the sesame cake and ran into the alley with a smile on his face.
International Settlement, private room of Hongyun Restaurant.
"Stationmaster Chen, I'm really surprised that you can turn from evil to good."
Inside the box, Li Qun stood up, picked up the Yu Lu Bai on the table and poured a glass for Chen Gongshu with a smile.
"Nothing unexpected," Chen Gongshu raised his glass, drank the wine in it in one gulp, and sighed, "Brother Li is now a high-ranking official."
"You should also know how those of us who work in the military intelligence department live."
"Every day I feel like a lost dog, hiding from place to place, even having to be careful about eating a full meal."
"Chen is also tired of living like this."
"Now that even that party elder has decided to surrender to the Japanese, Chen is determined to follow suit."
"This world is a mess. Only money is real."
"By the way, Brother Li mentioned the $100,000 reward. You won't break your promise, will you?"
"What Chen handed over was a list of the entire Shanghai Military Control Station."
Li Qun said with a smile: "Of course not, money is only a thing outside of one's body, and, brother, I have recently found a very powerful partner."
"Do you know who is the most powerful person in the entire South right now?"
Chen Gongshu took a bite of the food and asked nonchalantly, "Who is it? Could it be you, Brother Li?"
"I don't have that ability." Li Qun shook his head repeatedly.
"That's Director Ding. I know he is very popular among the Japanese now."
"He, is he worthy?" Li Qun said disdainfully, "This guy is good at talking, but if he really wants to fight, Stationmaster Chen can handle him with one hand."
"It's just that he looks good. The Japanese say he has a handsome appearance, but in fact, he is just an embroidered pillow."
Li Qun grumbled a lot, and it was obvious that he was still somewhat dissatisfied with Ding Cun sitting in the position of director.
But it was no use, the Japanese just looked up to him.
Even though No. 76 was completely in Li Qun's hands, Li Qun still disliked him a little.
Chen Gongshu asked doubtfully, "You have successfully confused me. You and Director Ding are the only ones with strength in the Shanghai market right now."
"Those people in the city hall are just a bunch of good-for-nothings. How can they compare to you two?"
“Hahaha,” Li Qun laughed, “Stationmaster Chen, don’t worry. The person I’m talking about is now a top figure in the southern forces.”
"He is in charge of the Japanese southern transportation network. He is the head of the Imperial Vertical Division and the economic adviser of the Finance Department of the new Jinling government. He is the immediate superior of No. 76, Chen Yang..."
