Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 596 Your crime is treason

Shanghai South Railway Station, Joint Transport Department.

Hisasaku Furukawa handed over the information from the north to Yoshisaburo Yamamoto.

"Yamamoto-kun, Minister Takida has already reached an agreement with Bogonev."

"This batch of medicines can be settled with either supplies or cash. Personally, I prefer to use supplies, which is more cost-effective."

"The local supplies are extremely tight right now, and most of the retail supplies of the shops under the Black Dragon Society still rely on local manufacturers."

"However, due to the demands of the war, many commodities are currently given priority for use by the military, so the prices of supplies have remained high."

Yamamoto Yoshisaburo nodded and said, "Yoshikawa-kun has the same idea as me. The measures introduced by Cabinet Mine have no stimulating effect on the current economy."

"The biggest problem on the mainland is the lack of supplies. If we can trade supplies, and then use the transportation capacity of the Manchurian Railway in the north, we can transport supplies from Siberia to the Port of Lushun and then transport them back to the mainland."

"Although this is a lot of trouble, we can also make a lot more money. In my opinion, if we do it a few times, we can make up for the previous losses."

"By the way, has Manager Jason come back yet? What does he say about the equity documents?"

Hisasaku Furukawa shook his head and said, "Manager Jason is still in Hong Kong Island."

"The British seemed to be worried about the Imperial Army, fearing that it would be affected by the war in Europe and attack Hong Kong Island,"

"The Huafu Fund where Jason works seems to be selling off a large number of properties and fixed assets in Hong Kong Island in order to protect itself."

"They are smart. Sooner or later, the whole of Southeast Asia will belong to the Empire." Yamamoto Yoshisaburo said in a deep voice: "The French have been beaten like that, and the next one will be Britain."

"Once the Third Reich successfully captures the British Isles, their target will turn to the Soviet Union."

"By then, the price of medicines will continue to rise. Hey, I don't admire Chen Yang for anything else. This Life Sunshine Pharmaceutical Factory can really make a lot of money."

"I heard that their orders have been booked from July to the year after next, and some people in the government want to invest in it."

Furukawa Hisasaku sighed, "There are so many people who want to invest, but who can get in now? Who dares? The Osaka Chamber of Commerce, Mitsubishi Group, Sumitomo Group, and the Fujiwara family."

"With so many forces tied together, even the Army Department tried desperately to curry their favor, fearing that they would give priority to supplying medicines to the Navy Department."

Yamamoto Kichisaburo nodded in agreement and suddenly said, "I sent a telegram a few days ago asking father to talk to Minister Miyamoto about the medicine. Did he respond?"

Furukawa Hisasaku shook his head and said, "It's only been two days since your telegram was sent. The vice president won't have any news that soon."

"Hmph, you're useless when you get old. Not only are your hands and feet slower, but even your brain can't keep up." Yamamoto Yoshisaburo seemed to look down on Yamamoto Yoshi, but he had to seek his help.

"I have said it before, the Black Dragon Society should be replaced by a group of vigorous and energetic young people who are vigorous, energetic and efficient."

"It takes several days to negotiate such a simple cooperation. What else can these people do?"

"Bang." Just as Yamamoto Yoshisaburo finished speaking, the door of the joint transport office was suddenly kicked open.

A team of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's Supervisory Department rushed in.

"Baga, who are you? This is the Joint Transportation Department. What are you doing here?"

"Oh, Yamamoto-kun, long time no see." A familiar figure appeared behind the team. Yamamoto Yoshisaburo was stunned. The person was none other than Staff Officer Abe Mitsuhiro of the China Expeditionary Army's General Staff.

"Staff Officer Abe, what do you mean? My Joint Transport Department doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Army General Staff?"

"What do you mean?" Abe Mitsuhiro walked up to Yamamoto Yoshisaburo and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Yamaura Hiroshi of the Army Inspection Department has received news that someone is using the Empire's transportation network to smuggle drugs, penicillin, to the north."

"Lieutenant Colonel Yamaura successfully intercepted the drugs fifteen minutes ago."

"We now suspect that Mr. Yamamoto has something to do with this batch of drugs."

"So, now, please come with us."

Yoshisaburo Yamamoto was startled and a look of surprise instantly appeared on his face.

"Abe-kun, I have a few words to say to my assistant Furukawa-kun. I wonder if you can give me a few minutes."

Abe Mitsuhiro glanced at Furukawa Hisasaku beside Yamamoto, nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I can give you three minutes."

"But if you have anything to say, please say it in front of us."

Yamamoto Yoshisaburo frowned, pulled Furukawa Hisasaku aside and said, "Furukawa-kun, please go to the Imperial Bank, safe deposit box No. 1625."

"The combination, key, and seal of the safe are hidden in the box in the third drawer of my room."

"There is a detailed account I recorded in the safe. Take it to see Mr. Sato and ask him to issue a material dispatch order to prove that the medicine was dispatched by the military."

Upon hearing this, Furukawa Hisasaku whispered, "Mr. Yamamoto, what if Mr. Sato refuses to cooperate?"

Yamamoto Yoshisaburo said in a deep voice: "If he refuses, you should send a telegram to the mainland immediately, and father will know what to do."

"You don't have to worry about me. If they arrest me, the most they will do is charge me with drug smuggling. As long as the telegram from the mainland arrives in time, they won't dare to touch me."

"When I get out, I'll make Sato and the others suffer."

"Are you done talking?" Abe Mitsuhiro looked at the two people whispering and couldn't help but mutter, "If you have anything to say, wait until you visit the prison."

"Takeshita-kun, take him away."

"Hi." The leading inspector dressed in captain's uniform responded and pushed Yamamoto Yoshisaburo out.

Chinese Expeditionary Force, Supervisory Department.

Abe Mitsuhiro sat at the other end of the interrogation room and looked at Yamamoto Yoshisaburo and said, "Yamamoto-kun, we are old acquaintances. It would be better for you to explain some things yourself than for us to ask you to explain them."

"Well? Tell me yourself, what happened to those sixty cases of penicillin?"

Yamamoto Yoshisaburo looked up at Abe Mitsuhiro and said, "Abe-kun, I really don't know what you mean."

Abe Mitsuhiro smiled and said, "Mr. Yamamoto, I know your identity. Do you think we dare to go to the Joint Transportation Department to arrest people without real evidence?"

"Even if we don't give you face, we have to give Minister Chen face."

"What's more, you are a member of the Black Dragon Society just like Minister Chen. However, you have gone too far this time."

"Overdoing it?" Yamamoto Yoshisaburo sneered, "Mr. Abe, the whole Shanghai market knows that Minister Chen used the transportation network to smuggle. Don't tell me you don't know."

"It's just 60 boxes of medicine. Compared to Minister Chen, how can this be considered a big deal?"

"Smuggling is certainly not a big deal," Abe Mitsuhiro said with a serious expression, "But, Mr. Yamamoto, you have to understand that you are not smuggling, you are committing treason..."
