In Wuhan, Sangben's investigation was officially launched.
The investigators are all big shots, so you must be careful not to be noticed by them. There are dozens of people in the headquarters who have access to the information. After excluding the division commanders and impossible people, there are still thirteen people left.
This does not count the number of people who were transferred, and Sangben will also check.
They are not the main investigation targets and can be placed at the end.
Everyone's information was placed in front of Sangben. Their past resumes, what they had done, and when they were promoted were all available.
There was no problem from the data alone. Sangben understood that it was impossible for the Chinese to protect a traitor so closely that he could find problems in the data.
If that were the case, this traitor wouldn't be alive now.
"General, we secretly investigated everyone's bank accounts and found nothing unusual."
In the conference room, Sangben and several confidants were having a meeting to summarize the investigation during this period.
"Next, all their family members and close people will be included in the investigation, as well as their domestic situation to see if there is any windfall."
Sangben replied that the traitor was of a very high level and he would definitely be very careful.
He knows the nature of what he is doing, and money of unknown origin will not be directly deposited in the bank in his name.
With the support of the headquarters, Sangben investigated all banks, including those in the French Concession in Wuhan.
The French Concession in Wuhan is now far inferior to what it used to be. It is not a forced search, it is just an investigation of bank deposits, and they are very cooperative.
In Shanghai's concessions, people inside were bribed to conduct investigations.
The Chinese have always been willing to spend money. For such important military information, Sangben believed that they must have paid a high price. Since they paid the money, finding out the money would be equivalent to finding out who the traitor was.
"yes."
If your subordinates obey orders, the workload of those around you will double, and they will be very busy next.
"Miyashita, how is the investigation conducted by Hiroshi Shibayama?"
Sangben looked at another subordinate. Miyashita immediately sat up straight, shook his head and said: "Shibayama Hiroshi's past is fine. We have installed bugs in his office and home. We also found out that he likes antiques and often goes shopping there.
Wuhan’s antique market, we are investigating people in the antique market.”
"Not only the antique market must be investigated, but all the antiques in his home must be investigated. How did they come from, how much did they cost, and what is their real value."
Sangben raised his eyebrows and immediately gave orders.
Shibayama Hiroshi was the object of his greatest suspicion. Shibayama Hiroshi was the chief quartermaster of the headquarters, and he knew the material situation of all the troops in the entire dispatched army very well.
He is also a person who can participate in high-level operational meetings.
The war is inseparable from logistical support, and he is needed to distribute it. He also distributes the grain that Tian Shunliu received from Ishihara Hanna.
Now that he knew that he liked antiques, Sangben became more suspicious of him.
The reason is simple. Antiques are the easiest to bribe, and they can also be given to him as a benefit for purchasing information.
For example, a very valuable antique was deliberately bought by Chai Shan at a low price.
Such behavior will not arouse suspicion from others, after all, there has always been a saying about missing items in the antique market.
It's just someone's gain, it's reasonable and legal.
Sangben was not an ordinary person. He immediately thought of this loophole and asked his confidants to investigate.
The palace servant nodded and wrote down the commander's order.
To investigate these people, they need the support of many people, but with Tian Shunliu here, they have eliminated some impossible people, and those impossible people can provide them with clues.
Tian Junliu has ordered them to keep it strictly confidential, otherwise they will be punished for leaking secrets.
This crime is very serious, ranging from dismissal from office to death.
Arita Shunroku gave a stern warning, and Sangmoto believed that as long as these people were not stupid, they would not casually leak their investigation status to outsiders.
The investigation continues, and Kuwamoto pays personal attention to Hiroshi Shibayama.
Someone was going to check the antiques. If there was no abnormality in the property in his own name, then his relatives would be checked. Shibayama Hiroshi was regarded as a key suspect and was the first to be investigated.
headquarters.
"General, the grain ship from Shiyuan Trading Company has arrived. There are forty ships of various grains and livestock."
Shibayama Hong entered Tian Junliu's room and reported in a low voice. Tian Junliu raised his head, very happy.
This time he was preparing for a raid, and what he was most worried about was food. With these forty ships of food, he no longer had any worries.
"You immediately take people to collect the food and distribute it to the frontline as quickly as possible."
Tian Junliu ordered that the commander of the Eleventh Army, Avi, did not intend to make a sneak attack, but was preparing to conduct a surprise attack.
Attack first before the army can assemble.
In order to keep it secret, very few people know this information. It is very likely to succeed this time.
"yes."
Shibayama Hiroshi left, and Tian Junliu continued to deal with official duties with his head down.
But Tian Junliu soon left the office and came to the entrance of the headquarters.
The food transported this time was actually escorted by Hiroshi Ishihara himself.
"Why didn't you tell me before you came?"
Tian Junliu complained that Chu Lingyun did not say hello in advance when he came to Wuhan this time. The purpose of his coming was to collect intelligence in person.
Changsha is very important. It is an important gateway to the South and cannot be missed.
If we can collect more intelligence, more Guojun can survive. No matter how many people can be saved, Chu Lingyun will do his best.
"This batch of grain is quite large. I'm worried that others are not so attentive. I just happened to come over recently when I have nothing to do."
Chu Lingyun replied with a smile, and Tian Junliu took him to his office.
"This batch of food of yours has solved my urgent need. I will definitely be able to capture Changsha this time."
Tian Junliu asked the attendant to make tea, while he said happily.
"The empire will win." Chu Lingyun smiled slightly.
"Haha, the empire will win."
Tian Junliu was in a good mood, and Chu Lingyun continued: "In addition to food, I also asked people to collect some meat, and I just sent it to you."
"I already know, you helped me a lot this time."
Tian Junliu smiled and nodded. In order for soldiers to maintain their physical strength during war, it is not enough to eat staple food. It is best to have a large supply of meat.
He had some, but not enough.
Originally, he planned to take advantage of the raid to send soldiers to the countryside to collect more meat. Since Ishihara Hiroshi sent it, there was no need to raid again.
The amount Ishihara Hiroshi sent this time was quite large.
Anyway, with the base camp footing the bill, they won't lose money and will actually make a lot of money.
"Has the recent operation outside the city gone well?"
Chu Lingyun asked casually, the Japanese army's raids expanded to the whole country, and many ordinary people suffered. The slogans shouted by the old devil Tada before were now used vividly by them.
Chu Lingyun had no choice, he couldn't stop this kind of thing.
Sending more food to Tian Junliu can reduce the number of raids and save some people.
"It didn't go well. The resistance was too strong. In fact, doing so will make the Chinese people more alienated. Unfortunately, those radicals are too short-sighted."
At this point, Tian Junliu stopped talking. There were too many people resisting, which would inevitably affect their energy. Additional manpower must be sent to various places to stabilize the rear.
Their military strength is not enough, and if they are divided among them, they will be even more stretched.
"There is no way, there are too many short-sighted people." Chu Lingyun sighed.
"Ishihara, since you are here, take those coarse grains away with you."
Tian Junliu took the initiative and said that these coarse grains were also very important to Chu Lingyun, and he wanted to store them for next year.
"No problem, I'll arrange for someone to take over later."
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. When he came to Wuhan this time, he took the opportunity to see how the granary in Wuhan was being prepared.
It is not easy to store food. If it is not stored well, it will easily become damp and moldy. Such food cannot be eaten. Too much toxins can directly kill people. Even if it is less, you will face many diseases in the future.
He wants to save people, not harm them.
Despite his busy schedule, Tian Junliu treated Chu Lingyun to a meal and some wine in the evening.
From this we can see the importance he attaches to Chu Lingyun.
After having enough wine and food, Chu Lingyun returned to the hotel.
"Boss, water is placed by the bedside for you."
Fang Shiyi poured water for Chu Lingyun, and Chu Lingyun took him with him when he came to Wuhan this time. Although the boat was full of grain, underneath the grain were medicines that had just arrived in Shanghai.
Smith carried out Chu Lingyun's orders very thoroughly. Since it was urgent, he could not delay. After receiving the telegram, he immediately prepared the medicines on the list, finally loaded them on the ship, and sent them to Shanghai as quickly as possible.
The ship was not full, and it continued non-stop for 24 hours, and soon arrived in Shanghai.
This batch of medicine was extremely valuable. After arriving in Shanghai, Shiyi immediately arranged for people to hide the medicine on the grain ship. The people he arranged were all reliable.
These people didn't know what was in the box.
If he doesn't tell, no one dares to ask.
Chu Lingyun was on the ship to personally monitor the situation, and no one dared to touch these medicines.
After arriving in Wuhan, Fang Shiyi immediately handed these medicines to Lao Chang and asked him to find a way to send them back to his hometown.
The raids by the Japanese made life more difficult in my hometown.
Some comrades who were injured were unable to receive treatment due to insufficient medicine, and eventually died.
This batch of medicines was quite large, and Chu Lingyun personally came forward to ensure the safety of the medicines.
"Have the things been handed over?"
Chu Lingyun asked softly, and Alchemist Yi nodded slightly. This is a Japanese hotel, and they won't make it clear.
"take a break."
After the ship arrived at the dock, the batch of medicines was unloaded and placed in the warehouse in the name of Ishihara Trading Company.
The warehouse had been tampered with by Alchemist Yi for a long time. Lao Chang would lead people to transport all the medicines away, but the boxes would be left behind and replaced with other things.
In times of war, medicine is not an ordinary thing, but life.
Especially for hometowns that lack Western medicine, this batch of medicine is even more valuable than gold.
Fang Shiyi left and returned to his room. There were guards from Ishihara Trading Company outside Chu Lingyun's door, ensuring Ishihara Heng's safety 24 hours a day.
Tian Junliu was very busy, so Chu Lingyun did not see him the next day and went to inspect the Wuhan branch.
In fact, the main purpose was to inspect the granary. The people here did not dare to fool him. The granary was well built and very solid.
In a granary like this, it’s no problem to store grain for a year or two.
Wuhan only has 30 granaries, and it didn’t need many before.
This time, Tian Junliu's large amount of coarse grains happened to be used as an excuse. Chu Lingyun immediately ordered the urgent construction of seventy granaries to make up a hundred round figures.
These granaries are built very solidly and will last for decades without any problems.
The granary will not be wasted. It can also be used after the fruit army takes it back, and then waits for the people to receive it.
"General Tian Jun."
When Sangben came to the office, Tian Junliu stood up and pulled Sangben to sit aside.
"How's the investigation going lately?"
Tian Junliu was very concerned about the traitor case. He had trouble sleeping and eating when he thought that there was a traitor around him who could leak information to the Chinese at any time.
"There are already suspects. Currently, one person is the main suspect and three are the secondary suspects."
Sangben didn't hide it from Tian Junliu. Tian Junliu was the person he trusted most here and was his biggest support. He needed Tian Junliu's support for many things.
"So quickly, who is the suspect?"
Tian Junliu was a little surprised. As expected of Sangben, it had only been a while since he had become the subject of suspicion.
"Chief Quartermaster Hiroshi Shibayama."
When Sangben said a name, Tian Junliu's eyes widened immediately.
He knew Shibayama Hiroshi. Shibayama Hiroshi was in the army as early as when the army was dispatched to Central China. He was a deputy at that time. After Nishida succeeded Yamada as commander-in-chief, he was promoted to chief quartermaster.
Because he was his old man, Tian Junliu did not touch him.
"What's the reason?"
Tian Junliu asked in a low voice, and Sangben explained in detail the reason why he suspected him.
He has access to important confidential information, and at the same time has a very good understanding of all aspects of the Japanese army. He also loves antiques, which can easily be used by the Chinese to defeat him.
Tian Junliu also likes antiques, but only in general.
However, this hobby is indeed easy to be attacked by people, especially those who are obsessed with it.
Obsessed people collect antiques and can only get in and out. No matter how much money they have, it is not enough for them to buy them. It is indeed easier for the Chinese to seduce them with antiques or money.
"Continue the investigation and get enough evidence."
Tian Junliu nodded lightly. Shibayama Hiroshi was not an ordinary person. He had a very high military rank, one level higher than Kuwamoto. If you want to take him down, you must have ironclad evidence.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find evidence of his crime."
Sangben responded and then asked: "General Tian Jun, I heard that Ishihara Hiroshi came to Wuhan?"
"Yes, why, you want to get to know him?"
Tian Junliu smiled and replied, Kuwamoto is a young talent, Ishihara Hiroshi is even younger than Kuwamoto. Although he is not in the military, he has a great influence on the army.
"Indeed, I have something to ask him for help."
Sangben nodded. To get evidence of Shibayama Hiroshi, investigation alone was not enough. He wanted to make a trap to lure Shibayama Hiroshi into taking the bait.
Hiroshi Shibayama is the chief quartermaster and has a lot of money. However, if the Chinese are willing to give him money, he will have enough money to buy what he wants without having to go too far.
"What do you need his help with?"
Tian Junliu was even more surprised. Ishihara Hiroshi could indeed help, but most of it was substantive help. For example, he needed food this time, or job adjustment and promotion.
Sangben was investigating the case and had nothing to do with Ishihara Hiroshi. He couldn't think of a place where Sangben could use Ishihara Hiroshi.
"Shibayama Hiroshi likes antiques very much, and he must get what he likes. I heard that Ishihara Hiroshi has a lot of antiques in his hands. Can you come up with a few to attract him? He can't afford to offend Ishihara Hiroshi, and he can't take Hiroshi Ishihara by force.
If the antiques presented by Ishihara Hiroshi are attractive enough and he does not have that much money on hand, he will definitely reach out to the Chinese for more money."
"When the time comes, you can find a way to give him false information for verification. I will monitor him and get his evidence more easily."
By doing this, Kuwamoto actually treated Hiroshi Shibayama as a traitor.
Make a trap to attract him to the bait, and with evidence, you can arrest the person, and his mission can be completed this time.
"good idea."
Tian Junliu's eyes lit up, Kuwamoto's method was very good, Ishihara Hiroshi was not a soldier, and Shibayama Hiroshi would not be so wary of him.
Besides, it was not the right time for other people to bring out antiques to attract him. If other wealthy businessmen in Wuhan were allowed to do it, Shibayama Hong might kill him for the things.
But given him some courage, he would not dare to do this to Hiroshi Ishihara.
In this way, Hiroshi Ishihara is indeed the most suitable person to help, and he happens to be in Wuhan.
"I'm sorry to bother General Tian Jun."
Sangben lowered his head. He and Ishihara Hiroshi didn't know each other, so someone had to be the one to pull the strings.
In fact, he had selfish motives in this matter.
When he was at the base camp, many people had heard of Ishihara Hiroshi's name, and many people's wealthy pockets were due to Ishihara Hiroshi's contribution.
Ishihara Hiroshi is very ambitious and very smart. He does not enter the military and political circles for two terms and controls things behind the scenes.
Although there are not many senior officers in the literary society, there are many in the middle ranks.
With the help of Ishihara Hiroshi, these people will be able to get up sooner or later. By then, the literary society will be the most terrifying organization in the imperial army and the most powerful one.
Asking Hiroshi Ishihara for help this time, he can get to know this young man by the way, which will do no harm to him in the future.
As for the investigation, he never doubted or thought about Ishihara Hiroshi.
Hiroshi Ishihara is a businessman and has no access to this information. There are many officers in the literary society, but none of them can participate in such high-level combat meetings.
The highest-ranking people in the literary society are Ohgahara and Morimoto Kuniaki. They are division commanders, but they have just been promoted.
Not to mention that the literary society was also a victim. The Battle of Nanchang left Ohgahara disgraced and there was no chance of promotion.
This time, Hiroshi Ishihara helped him and vented his anger on the literary society. The incident in Ogahara had a great impact on the literary society.
"What's the trouble? Ishihara is easy to get along with. You will find this out after you get to know him. But don't try to trick him. He is very smart. For someone who can start from scratch and become so successful, you can't imagine how much he has.
clever."
Tian Junliu specifically told Sangben to ask Ishihara Hiroshi for help, but don't think that he is easy to bully because he is a businessman.
If Ishihara Toru is really angry, there is no use working at the base camp as Sangben can kill him just the same.
Overtly and covertly, Japan has always been pursuing assassinations, and there are many ronin under Toyama Mitsuru. These people are thinking about doing something big every day so that they can leave their names in the history books.
"Don't worry, I will never do it."
Sangben nodded immediately. He was a fool to trick Ishihara Hiroshi.
This time, it was to investigate the traitor. It was for the mission, and he would not do anything out of the ordinary.
"I'll help you arrange an appointment with him tonight. He won't be in Wuhan for too long. You should ask him to take care of this matter as soon as possible."
Tian Junliu nodded, picked up the phone and called Ishihara Hiroshi.
He was calling a hotel, and Ishihara Toru was not there, but Ishihara Toru's men would notify him.
Sure enough, three minutes later, the phone on Tian Junliu's desk rang.
"General Tian Jun, are you looking for me?"
Ishihara Hiroshi's voice came. Ishihara Hiroshi was actually in the hotel, but not in the room. He was meeting members of the literary club here in the conference room.
There were a lot of them. Knowing that Shi Yuanheng was coming, all those who could come arrived in Wuhan and were received by Chu Lingyun.
Including the newly joined division commander Morimoto and brigade commander Okada.
Dahe originally wanted to come over, but was rejected by Chu Lingyun. He was in Nanchang, which was a bit far away, so there was no need to make a special trip.
"Ishihara, do you have time?"
"I definitely have time for your business."
Chu Lingyun smiled and Tian Junliu was even more satisfied and immediately said: "I have someone here to introduce you to him. He needs your help with something."
"No problem, I'll be there right away."
Chu Lingyun hung up the phone and asked other people in the literary club to communicate freely first, leaving Fang Shiyi in charge of reception.
He then led people to the headquarters.
On the way, Chu Lingyun was thinking, who asked Tian Junliu to call him specifically and ask for help?
He definitely didn't know this person, otherwise Tian Junliu wouldn't have introduced him.
Headquarters Chu Lingyun knew quite a few people. Whether it was Yamada or Xitian, Chu Lingyun had been here many times when they were here.
He has met most of those high-level officials.
There is no need for him to take the initiative. Many people want to get acquainted with him. It's okay now. Maybe he will ask Ishihara Hiroshi for help sometime.
Relationships need to be maintained, and the Japanese are no exception.
They actually learned many things from China.
"Ishihara is here."
When Chu Lingyun entered the office, Tian Junliu stood up immediately, and Sangben also stood up hurriedly, looking at Hiroshi Ishihara carefully.
He is indeed as young as the rumors say. I heard that he is just thirty years old this year.
Hiroshi Ishihara is a little older than Chu Lingyun and the same age as Tomotaka Hosokawa, and they came to China very early.
It's hard for Chu Lingyun to be older than him. Let alone how old he is, he can still pretend to be decades old.
"General Tian Jun."
"Sit down and talk."
Tian Junliu waved his hand and pulled Chu Lingyun to sit next to him: "This is General Sangben from the base camp. He came here to secretly investigate the traitor. Now he has someone to suspect and wants you to do a little favor.
"
Tian Shunliu did not hide it. He had discussed it with Morimoto before Ishihara Hiroshi arrived.
The investigation of the traitor can be made public to Ishihara Hiroshi.
Now we are looking for help from others. If we are not open and honest, it will be easy for Ishihara Hiroshi to overthink, let alone cheat. Ishihara Hiroshi is very smart and is not so easily deceived.
Sangben had no objection. He had never doubted Ishihara Hiroshi.
In his opinion, Hiroshi Ishihara has nothing to do with leaks.
He knew that Ishihara Hiroshi was smuggling, but smuggling was for making money, and Ishihara Hiroshi had many ways to make money and could make a lot of money.
The Chinese want to bribe him to provide information, but I'm afraid they can't afford the price.
Sang Ben told his plan exactly, but Chu Lingyun was a little surprised.
As expected, the wall cannot be held up by mud. Such an important secret was actually known to the Japanese by the Guo Party. Fortunately, they did not know who the person who leaked the secret was.
"No problem. Don't worry, General Sanben. This is a small matter. I will take care of it tomorrow."
Chu Lingyun agreed immediately. He had enough antiques in his hands, but not many in Wuhan.
This is not a problem. He can just have them airlifted from Shanghai. Just take out a few items and they will have a fatal attraction for Shibayama Hiroshi.
He can publicly declare that he wants to sell these antiques.
The reason is also very simple, he is short of money.
Nowadays, the price of food is very expensive, and he is paying for the food provided to Tian Junliu in advance. Although he does not intend to take the money, he intends to use it to expand his strength.
But Hiroshi Shibayama didn't know that Abe had just returned home and was planning to start operations.
Besides, Abe couldn't spread this kind of thing all over the world. Even Sangben didn't know that this time he didn't intend to ask for money for the food he provided to Tian Junliu, but for other benefits.
There is definitely money, but it will eventually fall into the hands of the big guys in the base camp.
"Thank you, Ishihara-kun."
Sangben stood up and bowed deeply. He knew a lot of Japanese hypocrisy, and Chu Lingyun accepted it calmly.
Sangben didn't say much, but Chu Lingyun could guess that since they didn't have accurate information and only knew that there was a traitor, they would definitely investigate it both internally and externally.
Let's investigate. The more people who investigate, the better. When the time comes, people will be so panicked that they won't be able to do anything.
"Shiyuan, you can leave a few days later. After Changsha is conquered, we can go to Orange Island together. I heard the scenery there is very good."
Tian Junliu laughed loudly, but Chu Lingyun's heart suddenly moved.
What does Tian Junliu mean by leaving a few days later?
According to his calculation, the Japanese would gather everyone and launch a fierce attack on the Changsha. Now many troops are still on the road and have not arrived at the designated place.
There is no way to lie about this. Someone from the literary club was on the march, and he knew it very well.
"That's great. It is said that there are many orange trees there, which is why Orange Island got its name. I wonder when the oranges there mature. Can we catch them this time?"
Chu Lingyun smiled and Tian Junliu laughed again: "Ishihara, if you want to eat it, no matter how many months it matures, I will save some for you."
"Thank you, General Tian Jun."
Chu Lingyun's heart sank, Tian Junliu's answer was to leave it to him.
The ripening season for oranges in Hunan is usually after October. Originally, Chu Lingyun thought that they would attack Changsha from the end of September to the beginning of October, when the oranges would be ripe.
But if you want to stay now, it means that the time has been advanced.
The reason why Chu Lingyun inferred the end of the month was because many Japanese troops would arrive in the middle of the month and would need to be repaired before they could go into battle.
At present, things have gone awry, and the Japanese army's attack on Changsha is likely to be much earlier.
"Ishihara-kun, it's not easy to eat oranges. When we conquer Changsha, you can transplant a few trees back and you can eat them every year in the future."
Sangben didn't think much about it. The battle in Changsha had nothing to do with him. He was focused on the traitor.
"That's okay. I'll transplant a few old trees when the time comes."
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded, and the three of them talked very happily.
Back at the hotel, Chu Lingyun immediately sent someone to the radio station. He personally sent a report to Shanghai, asking them to package the antiques he designated and send them to the airport.
At the airport, he will arrange for Goto Takeshi to send a plane to deliver it.
After a few telegrams were sent, Chu Lingyun sent his guess to the military command headquarters.
There is a radio station over there that is on 24 hours a day, so you won't miss it.
"Boss, Lingyun has an urgent call."
Secretary Qi hurried to the office with the message. It was urgently encrypted and only he could translate it.
After translating the content, he immediately understood why Chu Lingyun was so anxious.
The Japanese are likely to launch a surprise attack, and the attack time will be within these few days, rather than waiting for all the troops to arrive before attacking.
This is strictly confidential and extremely urgent.
"Get the car ready, I'm going to see the commissioner."
Boss Dai shouted, and Secretary Qi immediately went to ask for a car. After a while, Boss Dai arrived at the old man's camp.
"Is this the latest news from Ling Yun?"
The old man looked serious when he saw the telegram. Boss Dai nodded slightly: "Yes, he is in Wuhan now. He must have heard something."
"Okay, I'll remind them right away."
The old man responded that General Xue would soon receive a secret message, and the Japanese army might attack in advance and conduct a surprise attack, and that would be in the next few days.
Today is September 4th. General Xue was shocked when he saw the telegram. His side has not been fully deployed, mainly because the Japanese troops have not yet arrived, and he does not know the direction of their attack.
Since the Japanese army may launch an attack in advance, he must take precautions and cannot continue to wait for detailed information.
General Xue was very decisive and immediately ordered adjustments to prevent possible Japanese raids at all times.
In Wuhan, Chu Lingyun received dozens of antiques shipped by air.
He immediately set up a venue and invited people from Wuhan to come and appreciate his collection. Local wealthy businessmen in Wuhan and Japanese people who loved antiques were all invited by him.
Hiroshi Shibayama was also invited.
"Everyone, these are extremely exquisite and priceless treasures. If it hadn't been for the huge turnover of funds recently, I wouldn't have thought of selling them. They will only be on display in Wuhan for one day today and will be on display in Nanjing tomorrow. If you are interested,
Yes, you can go to Shanghai in fifteen days, and I will conduct a public auction in Shanghai."
Chu Lingyun came out to speak in person, and what he brought out was indeed a treasure of extremely high value.
Geguan Rudingjun has all the five major official kilns of the Song Dynasty, as well as exquisite blue and white porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Every piece is beautiful.
In addition, there are also the most exquisite treasures from the Han and Tang Dynasties, jades, calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists.
Hiroshi Ishihara is very wealthy, and his collection of treasures is definitely good.
"Mr. Ishihara, if you really need money to raise funds, there is no need to sell these beloved things."
One person said flatteringly that if Ishihara Trading Company was willing to lend money, many people would be willing to lend it to him.
After all, Ishihara Trading Company has a good reputation and there have never been any rumors of non-payment of debts.
As for why Ishihara Commercial Bank is short of money, they know it very well.
Ishihara Trading Company sent so much food to the dispatched troops, of which rice accounted for the majority. According to the current price of rice, it is indeed a sky-high price.
Not to mention one million yen, it is estimated to be tens of millions.
Having used so much funds and the base camp did not provide any money, it is not surprising that Ishihara Trading Company is short of money.
"No, I don't like to borrow other people's money, I only like others to owe me money."
Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head. The value of these antiques is not low. Together they are worth at least millions of yen. If they are sold, they can indeed raise a lot of funds.
But he had no intention of actually selling it, he was just acting in conjunction with Sangben.
These antiques are Chinese treasures. Since they fell into his hands, they will never be allowed to flow to Japan.
It's safest to leave it in his hands.
"Haha, Lao Huang, you still want to make money from Mr. Ishihara, stop thinking about it?"
One person laughed and said that Lao Huang was the person who just suggested that Ishihara Trading Company raise money. He was in the bank business and could lend money to Ishihara Trading Company. Not only could he make money, but he could also deepen his relationship with Ishihara Trading Company.
"Everyone enjoy it slowly."
After Chu Lingyun finished speaking, he left, leaving everyone to admire these treasures. Sangben himself made a disguise and monitored Shibayama Hiroshi in the crowd.
Chaishan is wearing casual clothes today. He is fifty-two years old, but his eyesight is very good. At this time, he is holding a magnifying glass and carefully admiring the treasures inside bit by bit.
Sangben noticed that the first thing he looked at was porcelain, and it was those pieces from official kilns of the Song Dynasty.
Chaishan Hong likes porcelain, especially Ru kiln.
However, Ru Kiln porcelain is not cheap. Even if it is not a prosperous time, Ru Kiln porcelain is still priceless.
The reason is very simple. After thousands of years, there are not many Ru kiln porcelains left today. They are rare and expensive, not to mention the high-quality official kilns back then.
"General Shibayama, do you like this brush wash very much?"
A person came to Shibayama Hiroshi. He was also from the headquarters. He usually loved antiques, but his rank was not as good as Shibayama Hiroshi, but he was still a general-level figure.
Those who can be here today are either rich or noble.
The value of each antique here is more than 10,000 yuan, and the 10,000 yuan refers to silver dollars, which are more valuable than Japanese yen.
"That's right, it's a fine product. It's twice the size of the one I collected, and the craftsmanship is better."
Shibayama Hong couldn't help but nod, his eyes full of enthusiasm.
He really liked this thing and had noticed it just now. After letting them visit it, he immediately came over to take a closer look. His skills were very high and he could see that this was indeed a genuine Ru kiln product.
However, the value of such a treasure is not too low. Shibayama Hiro estimated that it is at least 30,000 oceans.
This is an estimate, not a transaction price.
Moreover, Hiroshi Ishihara said that he would conduct an auction and the highest bidder would win. If it were auctioned, it might fetch a higher price.
If someone wants to curry favor with Hiroshi Ishihara and deliberately gives him money, the price may be paid at any price.
He knows this best.
Many people who want to do business with him sell him antiques at low prices. If he has antiques for sale, the price they give him must be several times the market price.
It’s not that Hiroshi Shibayama can only get in and out, but he will never sell the ones he really likes the most.
"I'm going to see the blue and white porcelain. I like Chinese blue and white porcelain better. It's so beautiful."
The visitor said with a smile, and after speaking, he looked at the various blue and white porcelains on the side.
Even if he couldn't afford it, he could enjoy it now by admiring it. Unfortunately, photography was not allowed here, otherwise he really wanted to take a photo and appreciate it later.
After he left, Shibayama Hiroshi continued to look at the brush wash for a full two hours before hurriedly looking at other things.
None of the other treasures lasted as long as this pen washer, and after reading the others, he immediately returned to the pen washer and continued to appreciate it.
It wasn't until the exhibition ended that he reluctantly left. After going out, he seemed to have lost his soul and got into the car blankly and left.
Sangben had been secretly observing him, and when he saw him like this, he knew that he had taken the bait.
As long as he wanted this brush washer, he had to prepare enough money. Kuwamoto knew the value of these antiques, and Toru Ishihara really helped him this time, and all he brought out were good things.
Shibayama Hiroshi could not afford this treasure with his salary.
However, few people like them really live off their salary. If he wants it, he will definitely prepare enough money. After all, it is an auction. If the money is small, he may miss the treasure.
Kuwamoto guessed right, Shibayama Hiroshi really wanted this brush wash.
It was so beautiful that he fell in love with this treasure at first sight. He wanted to buy it. He had to go to Shanghai to attend the auction in person and had to take a photo of this treasure.
But the problem did arise, he didn't have that much money.
He has made a lot of money over the years, but he has also spent a lot of money. Some antiques are free of charge, but some still cost money and need to be purchased by himself.
He only had more than 30,000 yen in cash on hand, which was far from enough.
After returning home, Shibayama Hiroshi immediately locked himself in the study room, thinking about how to get the pen washing machine. He had many ways to get the money to buy the pen washing machine in a short period of time.
For example, if he borrows money, if he opens his mouth to borrow it, others will definitely give it to him.
But he also doesn't like owing money, especially loan sharks. Those people are shady and it's easy to borrow money, but they need to pay back a large amount of money when they repay the money.
Although he was not afraid of those loan sharks, and they did not dare to do anything to him, if something happened, it would bring a very bad reputation to him.
The second is to use his power to make money.
There is an opportunity now.
Ishihara Trading Company has shipped so much rice. Rice is now a valuable thing, so any leakage is worth money. However, he needs a lot of money now, so the amount of rice he has to miss will not be small.
It would definitely not work to take it away directly. After all, this batch of rice had just been put into storage and the quantity had been verified when receiving it. Moreover, what he needed was more than just a little bit, and the loss within the scope of his duties was far from enough.
If you can't pull it directly, you have to find a way to drop it.
There is old rice on the market, especially the kind that is damp or even moldy. The price of this rice is very cheap. He can buy a batch at a low price and just swap it out.
What should frontline soldiers do if they find that their rice is damp and moldy?
Shibayama Hong was not afraid at all. So much rice was shipped by ship, and they did not open and inspect every bag. Maybe it was damp when it arrived, which was not his responsibility.
To take a step back, accidents may occur during the process of storing rice and then transporting it to the front line. It happened to have rained in the past two days and poor storage caused losses. He had nothing to do with it.
Anyway, if he doesn't admit it when the time comes, no one will find out what he did, and there won't be any responsibility.
Just do it, Hiroshi Shibayama took action immediately.
He first came to the headquarters and personally sent a message by telegraph. It was not like he had never done this before. He had his own sales channels.
The Fourth Division was sent the telegram to, so it would be easiest to contact them.
If this batch of rice is really sent to the Fourth Division, they will probably get rid of part of it, sell it for money, and then report the loss and ask the headquarters to re-issue food to them.
But Chen Mi couldn't find them, Shibayama Hong did it himself.
He is the chief quartermaster, knows many grain merchants, and has many ways to get old rice.
As soon as he sent the message, Sangben knew it. After getting the news, Sangben was extremely excited, and the fox's tail finally showed up. This message must have been sent to the Chinese, asking them for money.
Sangben was a little proud that his method was effective, so he asked Shibayama Hiroshi to submit the evidence himself.
"Do you know who he sent it to?"
Sangben asked Miyashita, who had always reported, and Miyashita shook his head: "I don't know, he sent the report himself, without letting anyone else be around."
If you send a report secretly, the suspicion will be even greater.
"Very good, keep an eye on him. If he wants money, he must provide information to the Chinese. As long as he sends the information, we will arrest him, and then we will get the stolen goods."
Sangben ordered Miyashita to leave quickly.
"General, we found anomalies during our investigation."
Not long after this subordinate left, another subordinate came to report again.
"explain."
"In the mountains of the headquarters and staff, his son has a large amount of unidentified property in his name."
His subordinates quickly reported that Yamanaka was of high rank and had access to a lot of confidential information. His son was in the country. This was the result of the latest domestic investigation.
A large amount of unidentified property?
When Sangben investigated, he took into account all the money they might make. There was a lot of unidentified property, and this amount must be quite a lot.
"How many exactly?" Sanben asked.
"It hasn't been verified yet, but the amount verified so far is 600,000 yen."
Six hundred thousand is really a lot. Yamanaka is just a staff officer, not the chief of staff, but he used to be the chief of staff of a brigade. Even so, he cannot have so much money.
"Continue to investigate, verify everything, and be sure to find the source of his wealth."
Kuwamoto ordered that he was focusing on Hiroshi Shibayama, but that didn't mean that other people would not investigate. In fact, the investigation of all suspects had not stopped.
He must investigate in detail. If Hiroshi Shibayama is not a traitor, wouldn't it be a waste of time if others don't investigate?
Another point is that if other big problems are discovered, it will also be credited. Even if they are not traitors, they will still be dealt with if they are discovered by him. These will become his achievements.
Sangben wanted to climb up. He wanted to hold a higher position. He needed a lot of merit to support it. Otherwise, how could he be promoted?
But the most important thing is to find the traitor, which is his job.
"yes."
The men left, and Sangben stayed in the office, waiting patiently.
Miyashita is his right-hand man, and since Hiroshi Shibayama is being targeted, no matter what Shibayama does, he can never escape their surveillance.
Chaishan soon received a call back from the Fourth Division.
No matter how much rice he has on hand, the Fourth Division wants it all.
Sure enough, even if a war was about to begin, the Fourth Division had not forgotten the nature of their business. He had dealt with the Fourth Division more than once, and the reputation of these Osaka businessmen was still very good and could be trusted.
After burning the message, Shibayama Hiroshi ordered his subordinates to buy old rice on the market.
The worse, the better.
As soon as his henchmen went out, they were targeted by Sangben's people.
The next morning, Sangben was called to the office by Tian Junliu.
"Our intelligence was leaked again. Just today, Avi launched a raid. It turned out that the Chinese were well prepared and had been waiting for him. His raid failed and now he can only attack by force."
Tian Junliu said slowly that the time for the raid is today. The ministries have not arrived yet, so they should launch the attack first. Avi is very confident about the raid.
What he didn't expect was that the Chinese were obviously well prepared and the resistance was very strong. Although he captured some places, the progress was extremely slow.
"What?"
Sangben was shocked and said that the intelligence was leaked again. Could it be that the telegram sent by Chai Shanhong yesterday was to inform the Chinese about this?
That's not right. Even if they were notified yesterday, the Chinese would not be able to respond so quickly. Moreover, Shibayama Hiroshi did not know the specific time of the raid.
Even he didn't know, only Tian Junliu and a few senior officers knew the time.
"Is it possible that the traitor is not with us, but in Avina?"
Tian Junliu asked, the battle of Xiangyang was fought by the 11th Army, and it is still the case this time. If their military headquarters leaks the secret, it is definitely possible.
"If there is a possibility, I will immediately investigate the insiders of the 11th Army."
Sangben nodded. Previously, his team wanted to investigate the headquarters because the Eleventh Army was following orders and the real decision-making power rested with the headquarters.
Now since the Eleventh Army Headquarters is also suspected, let's investigate together.
"Has Shibayama Hiroshi investigated clearly? Is it him?"
Tian Shunroku was itching with hatred. If it were really Shibayama Hiroshi, he would not let Shibayama Hiroshi have the opportunity to return to Japan and would execute him here.
It must be torture to death.
"I can't tell for the moment, but Hiroshi Shibayama secretly sent a telegram yesterday. I haven't found out who it was sent to specifically."
Sangben shook his head, and Tian Junliu's eyes tightened: "He sent a telegram?"
"It was sent, but there was not enough time. Since the Chinese were fully prepared, the time it took to get the information would definitely not be one or two days. I predict it will be at least five days or more."
"The time was decided by Avi and I half a month ago. From five days ago to half a month ago, you focused on investigating all the insiders."
Tian Junliu said slowly that he must find the traitor and eliminate it.
Otherwise, no matter what you do in the future, you will be very passive.
"Yes, don't worry, this is my task and my responsibility."
Kuwamoto lowered his head. This leak narrowed the scope for him again, but his suspicion of Hiroshi Shibayama did not lessen.
Shibayama Hiroshi didn't know the specific time, but he was the quartermaster and could use his own channels to find out.
What if he learned it from someone else?
Yesterday's telegram was probably from him sending money to the Chinese as soon as possible so that he could buy the treasure he wanted.
Neither Sangben nor Tian Junliu knew that their guess was wrong.
The time when Guojun got the exact information was three days ago, and it was from them that the secret was leaked. The reason why Guojun was so well prepared was because General Xue had been making preparations before.
General Xue was very strict in managing the army. He completed the preparations in three days. In fact, before they were fully completed, the Japanese army launched a surprise attack.
However, most of them have been prepared, making the Japanese surprise attack useless.
In order to keep it secret, General Xue did not tell the soldiers on the front line. Moreover, he did not know the exact time of the Japanese raid. He just kept strengthening military orders to let them be careful.
"Boss, Japan launched a surprise attack."
In Chongqing, Secretary Qi hurried into the office and received a report from Changsha Station. The Japanese army launched a surprise attack in the morning, and the Second Changsha Defense Battle officially began.
"good."
Boss Dai happily clapped his hands on the table. The Japanese army had indeed made a surprise attack. This time, their military commander once again made great achievements and prevented the Japanese army from succeeding.
If the raid fails, the next step will definitely be a head-on confrontation. They can't help at this point. Everything depends on General Xue and the soldiers on the front line.
"Ring ring ring."
The phone on the table suddenly rang. Boss Dai stood up straight after answering the phone.
"Prepare the car, the committee member calls me."
Boss Dai was so happy that fighting suddenly broke out in Changsha. After receiving the military report, the old man immediately held a combat meeting. In the middle of the meeting, he personally called him to ask him to come over.
Boss Dai was not qualified to participate in such combat meetings before.
This time I went there for questioning, but at least I was able to enter the venue. For Boss Dai, this was progress and proved that the military command was becoming more and more important. They were very valuable, and they were not just internal.
"The fishermen are here."
As expected, Boss Dai was taken to the conference room. All the people present were generals, all of whom were higher in rank than him.
"Appointment."
Boss Dai immediately lowered his head. There was no place for him here, but he could sit next to him.
Others don't have much hostility towards Boss Dai. Everyone can see the achievements of military commanders, especially in these wars, military commanders have indeed made great contributions.
They will also need intelligence support for future battles, so there is no need to make the relationship too tense.
"As expected, the Japanese army launched a surprise attack. General Xue reported that he is confident of holding Changsha, but he wants intelligence support. In addition, you should investigate the movements and detailed information of the Japanese army in Yichang as soon as possible."
The old man was not polite and gave the order directly.
"Yichang?"
There was a fight in Changsha, so the old man asked about Yichang, but he immediately understood that the old man wanted to launch another battlefield to relieve the crisis in Changsha.
This method is good. Boss Dai looked at Chen Mutu.
Yichang was occupied by the Japanese army, and what they took over belonged to the Sixth War Zone. The current commander is Chen Mutu.
"Mu Tu, tell me some of your thoughts and any information you need, please tell Dai Yunong."
This is a high-level combat meeting, and there are only a few participants, and they are absolutely trustworthy people.
Moreover, Chen Mutu only talked about his needs and ideas, not his battle plan, which could be made public.
"Yes, commission."
Chen Mutu slowly said that the Thirteenth Division of the Japanese Army currently stationed in Yichang, Chen Mutu wanted detailed information, including all the Japanese army's garrison points, their weapons and equipment, troop deployment, etc.
Boss Dai listened very carefully and took notes to write down the key points.
"Fishermen, you military commanders have a great responsibility. If the war in Changsha lasts for a long time, we must attack Yichang to contain the Japanese army and protect Changsha. Therefore, there is not much time left for you. We must find out the information General Chen needs as soon as possible. I am the most
I can only give you fifteen days, can you do it?"
The old man said softly, and Boss Dai stood up immediately.
"You must do your best for your humble position and must do it."
The order given by the old man himself must be fulfilled no matter what, and it is impossible to say that he cannot do this.
This time he couldn't rely on Chu Lingyun, he had to send his own people to investigate.
The information Chen Mutu wanted was very detailed, while Chu Lingyun mainly investigated large-scale information, such as the large-scale war trends of the Japanese army, their troop deployment, etc.
For this kind of information that is as small as each station, he needs to send out a lot of people to conduct on-site investigation and then summarize it.
It was impossible for Chu Lingyun to do such a thing, and there was no way for him to do it.
"Very good, you go back first and start this matter immediately."
The old man was very satisfied with his attitude. Boss Dai returned to the army and immediately called Xu Yi and He Nian over.
This time the time is tight and the task is heavy, so elites need to be dispatched to execute it.
The military commander has a team behind enemy lines in Yichang, and they have also explored some intelligence, but this mission is obviously beyond their capabilities and requires more elites to work together.
Even if you have to pay a certain amount of sacrifice, you still have to get the information.
Boss Dai is not a soft-hearted person. For the sake of credit and to continue to leave a good impression on the old man and let the old man continue to trust him, he is willing to sacrifice no matter how much he does.
"The two of you immediately go to Yichang with your elite experts, and be sure to find out everything about the Japanese army there..."
Boss Dai gave them the task. The Intelligence Department and Operations Department jointly acted to complete the task within the deadline.
If there is no deadline requirement, this task can be left to Xu Yi alone.
But there is a time limit, so we must get support from the Operations Office.
"You can mobilize the Loyalty and National Salvation Army over there, and I will make them obey any of your orders. Remember, this mission can only succeed, not fail."
Boss Dai is very serious. Xu Yihe Nian understands that the task must be assigned by the old man, otherwise Boss Dai would not take it so seriously.
For such a task, they have no room for bargaining.
"yes."
The two of them took the order together and immediately discussed how many people to bring with them after coming out of the office.
It would definitely not work with fewer people. It was finally decided that 150 people would be dispatched from the Intelligence Division, 300 people would be dispatched from the Operations Division, and some people from the Telecommunications Division, Technical Section, and Interrogation Division would be mobilized, for a total of more than 500 people to carry out this task.
The people dispatched by the Operations Department this time are all people who are good at intelligence. As for the operation, they can let the Loyalty and Salvation Army do it.
In fact, there was not much action in this mission. It was mainly to collect intelligence. Unless I was exposed, I would not fight the Japanese army.
Xu Yi assigned the work in Chongqing to Deputy Director Xie Ziqi. He Nian's deputy was not available, so he could only leave it to a section chief to handle it temporarily.
They led the team and set off on the day they received the order. The old man gave Boss Dai fifteen days, but Boss Dai only gave them ten days.
If not for the fact that Yichang also needs time, Boss Dai even wanted to give them seven days.
The matter in Chongqing has nothing to do with Chu Lingyun. He has finished his matter in Wuhan and is ready to return to Shanghai.
"Ishihara-kun, thank you very much this time."
Tian Jun Liuhe Sangben went to the pier to see them off. The pier was surrounded by Japanese soldiers, surrounding them and not letting a fly in.
"General Sangben, you are so kind. If you have the opportunity to go to Shanghai, it is the most prosperous city in the East."
Chu Lingyun smiled and Sang Ben kept nodding: "Don't worry, I will definitely go to Shanghai."
"General Tian Jun, take your leave."
Chu Lingyun said goodbye to Tian Junliu, turned around and boarded the ship, and the fleet slowly sailed out. People from the Wuhan branch would be responsible for receiving the coarse grains Tian Junliu gave him, and put them into warehouses for safekeeping.
The granary is not enough, so it can be temporarily stored in the military granary. No one dares to tamper with the items of Ishihara Trading Company no matter where they are placed.
If you tamper with public property, even if everyone knows about it, you will turn a blind eye. If you tamper with things belonging to Ishihara Trading Company, you will definitely be investigated strictly and receive the cruelest punishment.
Along the way, Ishihara Trading Company was covered with rows of bones.
Those who go against Ishihara Trading Company, or want to infringe on the interests of Ishihara Trading Company, will end up miserable.
In Shanghai, Wu Sanbao continued to implement his austerity policy, not even entering the gate of No. 76, and staying at home every day without going out.
Including Li Zhiqun telling him to push him if he can, but to deal with it if he can't, and asking him to do things immediately for a bunch of reasons, either because he was not in good health or because his head hurt, or in short, he just didn't want to do it.
He didn't want to do it, so Li Zhiqun couldn't force him to do it, so he could only let him go.
In Li Zhiqun's opinion, Wu Sanbao had lost too much face last time and was a bit embarrassed to hide his face. He was afraid that Xiao Lu would target him again, so he deliberately hid first.
It's okay to let him rest for a month or two, and then come back when he feels better.
"Boss, my hometown has received the medicine. Director Yuan of the Medical Department is very happy and praised us very much."
At Shiyuan Trading Company, Alchemist Yi happily came over to report that this time they sent a lot of medicines, and the entire convoy was full of medicines. The old man in charge of escorting them was worried all the way.
Fortunately, everything was delivered safely in the end.
There was an accident at Yaowang Mountain, but Lao Peng was at Yaowang Mountain, and he now had a very high prestige on the mountain. The old master was very afraid of him, but there was nothing he could do.
Lao Peng does not want power, he just wants to be kind to people, slowly influence them, and spread the ideas of the Red Party.
He doesn't even want power, so he can't just lock him up?
That would violate the original agreement, and besides, he still needs the trade routes provided by the Red Party to make money.
When the medicine passed through Yaowang Mountain, they discovered that it was medicine and immediately alerted the ancient master.
There are so many medicines, Gu Da is very excited.
Because the previous agreement was there, he couldn't seize it, nor could he do such a one-time deal. Besides, he knew very well that these medicines were used by the Red Party to save lives. If he really dared to withhold them, they would be there in a few days.
Countless bandits crossing the border came to deal with him.
He can't rob, but he can buy.
He used money to buy a batch of medicine. The quantity was small and would not affect the overall situation. Lao Dai specially brought a radio station to pledge this time. After reporting it to Mr. Ke, Mr. Ke agreed.
The old boss is actually Tan Wenbo. He knows the functions of these medicines very well. Since he doesn’t need much, it’s okay to sell him a little.
Maintaining a good relationship is good for both of them.
What's more, most of the bandits in Yaowang Mountain are influenced by Lao Peng. The future team may not have a name. Giving them now is equivalent to helping future companions.
"As soon as you receive it, tell your hometown and we will send them a batch of medicines regularly in the future."
Chu Lingyun responded with a smile. The Japanese raids will not last for a day or two, but will last for a long time. Behind Zhongtiao Mountain, the Japanese army has accumulated heavy troops there. The target is the Red Party and will not let the Red Party develop.
Life in my hometown will be difficult for a few more years.
In the past few years, he will try his best to help his hometown and alleviate their difficulties.
"Yes, I'll call you back right away."
Alchemist Yi left happily. There was a radio station in his office, a commercial radio station.
No one dared to ask him about the report he sent, and no one dared to check it.
Nothing is going on in his hometown for the time being, but Chu Lingyun's mind is still on the battle of Changsha.
He was unable to provide too detailed information about the Japanese raid this time, but since the fighting had already begun, it didn't matter whether the information was available or not.
In the early stage, he had reported the details of the Japanese troops participating in the war. Even if these Japanese troops were on the road, they would definitely help fight according to the original route after they arrived. General Xue could detect these situations himself.
The biggest gain was the failure of the Japanese raid to succeed.
The first place the Japanese army raided was Dayun Mountain, which was very close to the Xinqiang River and was the forward position of Changsha. By taking Dayun Mountain, they could attack the Xinqiang River.
It seems far away from Changsha, but it is the first line of defense to protect Changsha.
General Xue will fight for every inch of territory, and he will not give up an inch of the territory that is still in Guo Jun's hands.
Chu Lingyun understood history and knew that the Japanese army would not succeed this time.
He is not worried about Changsha, but he does not hope that more people will die in this battle. Regardless of the effectiveness of the information he provides, as long as it can save some lives, it is worth it.
Now he can't do anything to help Changsha, and they have to rely on themselves.
Wuhan, Sangben looked at Miyashita blankly.
They found out that the telegram sent by Chaishan Hong was not to the Chinese, but to the Fourth Division. They even found out the content. He wanted to sell a batch of rice to the Fourth Division, which was a lot.
The confidants he sent out are buying Chen Mi.
You can figure out with your toes what Shibayama Hiroshi wants to do. He is taking advantage of his authority to make a profit by subcontracting rice from the warehouse.
Shibayama Hiroshi does want to make money, but the way he makes money is not what Kuwamoto wants.
What Sangben wants is the traitor, to find out the traitor.
Sangben was naturally dissatisfied with this result.
"Keep watching him and get all the evidence."
Kuwamoto ordered that although it was a credit to catch Shibayama Hiroshi for the package fraud, it would not be of any help to this mission.
He is here to investigate traitors, not corruption.
There are dedicated people to investigate corruption, not him.
Hiroshi Shibayama disappointed Sangben, and soon he received disappointing news.
The country found out what happened to the money in the hands of Yamanaka's son. It was indeed ill-gotten wealth. Yamanaka's son was responsible for guarding the warehouse in China. He stole a lot of gasoline and sold it to earn the money.
Shibayama Hiroshi stole rice and Yamanaka's son stole gasoline. What happened?
It has nothing to do with his mission at all.
"Continue to investigate and find out all the people close to the suspect."
Sanben was not discouraged at all. He now had a new target of investigation, the person who knew the raid plan.
Very few people know about it, and there are not as many people at the headquarters as there are at the Eleventh Army.
In the past, Sangbenba focused on the headquarters because the information the other party had was too detailed, and the Eleventh Army had several commanders, and the people inside were mobilized even more.
Many insiders have been transferred, and the leak of this raid made him focus on the 11th Army again.
If there is no traitor in the headquarters of the dispatched army, then the traitor must be in the 11th Army.
Time passed slowly and the Battle of Changsha was very tense.
The Guo army resisted tenaciously, but it was still no match for the elite Japanese army, especially the Sixth Division. The reputation of the Sixth Division was built upon. The Guo army was attacked by the Sixth Division and suffered heavy losses.
On the 15th, most of the previously advancing Japanese troops arrived. General Xue understood that Dayun Mountain could not be defended and decisively ordered a retreat to the Xinqiang River.
Although Dayunshan was lost, it blocked the Japanese army for nearly ten days, completely defeating the Japanese army's vigor.
At this time, all parts of the country were paying attention to Changsha and the Battle of Changsha.
Especially in Chongqing, the Battle of Changsha was covered extensively in newspapers, and all newspapers that wrote timely battle reports were sold out.
The newspaper adds new issues every day and all of them are sold out.
Outside Yichang, He Nian and Xu Yi were at a regiment headquarters of the Zhongyi National Salvation Army. This place was temporarily requisitioned by them and became their headquarters.
The two of them came out together, with Xu Yi as the leader and He Nian as the assistant.
This time it was about gathering intelligence, not action. I had no objections to Xu Yi’s New Year greetings. Xu Yi was indeed better than him in gathering intelligence.
The two of them were looking at a large map, and there was a small sand table next to them.
They couldn't break into the Japanese army, so they used the stupidest method, sending people to investigate the places where the Japanese troops were stationed. They bribed the puppet soldiers and inquired with the fellow villagers to determine their weapons, equipment and number of people.
Just a little bit of investigation, and the results were immediately marked on the map. Now the map has many marked points.
These achievements are not without cost.
The Japanese army is very wary of strangers who appear. Some traffic arteries are fine. If a stranger appears in a remote place, they will immediately interrogate them.
If you don't know, just shoot him.
The lives of Chinese people are not as good as pigs or dogs in their eyes.
They have lost more than a dozen people these days, and some have been captured. The Japanese army has tightened security on the garrison, making it even harder to detect now.
"Director, Lao Li and Xiao Jin died."
He Nian's men came over to report, and He Nian's fists suddenly clenched.
Lao Li and Xiao Jin were a group of people sent out and did not return as scheduled. He Nian immediately asked people to go to the surrounding villagers to help inquire about their lives and deaths.
If you don't come back at the stipulated time, if it exceeds four hours, something must have happened.
There are three situations when something goes wrong: one is sacrifice, the other is being captured, and the third is being trapped for other reasons, such as being unlucky enough to be captured by the Japanese and sent to work.
In either case, they need to verify it clearly.
If they sacrifice themselves, they will receive pensions for their families. If they are captured, it will depend on whether they have rebelled. If they are trapped, they must find a way to save them and get them out.
Military commanders will not give up on their brothers.
In the past, it was easier for fellow villagers to inquire because they were locals after all, especially the kind of fellow villagers who often passed by.
"How did you sacrifice yourself?"
He Nian asked in a hoarse voice. They had talked too much in the past few days, and not only his voice was hoarse, but Xu Yi's was also hoarse.
"They were interrogated by the Japanese because of their foreign accents. The Japanese wanted to arrest them first. They resisted with guns, and in the end they were all beaten to death."
The subordinates reported with red eyes. Their accent was their biggest flaw, but the task was urgent and they had to do it themselves.
Asking fellow villagers is one thing, but fellow villagers can't explain many things clearly. They must conduct on-site inspections in order to draw the most accurate map and provide it to the military.
"Where are their bodies?" He Nian asked again.
"Hang on the gun tower by the Japanese."
The men lowered their heads. They could not retrieve the body. The task was top priority. They must now figure out all the Japanese army's deployment.
"Remember the place."
He Nian gritted his teeth and said, remember the place to collect their bodies in the future, and to avenge them.
He Nian and Xu Yi are insiders. The other subordinates don't know why there is such a mission. The Guo Army will definitely attack in the future. Both of their subordinates have died in the past few days. They have to remember the place and wait for the Guo Army to attack.
When he arrived at the place, he skinned the Japanese there alive to pay homage to the fallen brothers.
"yes."
The men withdrew and Xu Yi said nothing. He understood the feelings of He Nian, and he felt uncomfortable.
However, such sacrifices will happen again in the future. This time the information was obtained at the cost of their lives. They wanted to find out everything about the Japanese army and kill all these Japs.
Chu Lingyun didn't know about Yichang. Neither He Nian nor Xu Yi told him, nor did Boss Dai.
This task has nothing to do with him. He has done a good job. Boss Dai does not want to rely on Chu Lingyun for everything. The old man in the province thinks that Chu Lingyun is the only one in their military command who can do things.
However, Chu Lingyun was always concerned about the Battle of Changsha.
In the listening room in the literary agency, Ni Loach, Shen Hanwen, and Chu Yuan took turns guarding the listening room to ensure real-time monitoring. If there was useful information, it would be immediately sent to the headquarters for them to relay.
During this period, the most discussed topic in the literary society was the Battle of Changsha.
On the 76th, Wu Sanbao never went out, which made Xiao Lu feel powerless.
He wanted to cause trouble for Wu Sanbao, how could he do it without going out?
"Director, Wu Sanbao is a turtle. We can't let him hide away like this. How about I report it to Lord Kubo and ask him to forcefully call Wu Sanbao out?"
Xiao Lu came to Chen Zhanli's office. Since Wu Sanbao wouldn't go out, he would be forced to come out.
His words are useless, even Li Zhiqun can't call him, now only Kubo can do it.
"You can go directly to Mr. Kubo about this matter without telling me."
Chen Zhanli waved his hand, and Xiao Lu felt happy. What he wanted was the director's words.
He couldn't report directly himself, otherwise neither the director nor Lord Kubo would like it, but he should report it to the director first, and after the director agreed, he could go to Lord Kubo openly.
"Director, I'm going right away."
Xiao Lu exited Chen Zhanli's office. There were not many documents and files in this office, which were all piled up by Chen Zhanli. There were quite a few snacks on the cabinet.
Chen Zhanli’s office is never short of delicious food.
"Sir, Wu Sanbao is our No. 76 person after all. It is not okay for him to be paid and not do anything. Even if he is sick, he should be cured after such a long time. Li Zhiqun is deliberately conniving. You can't let him just eat for free."
Xiao Lu came to Kubo's office and talked in a jealous manner.
"Wu Sanbao hasn't come yet?"
Jiubo frowned. Xiao Lu was right. Wu Sanbao was the intelligence director of the secret service headquarters. What's the point of not being at home all the time?
If everyone imitates him, will they still do anything in the future?
"No."
The secret service headquarters is not under military control and only allowed in and out. Ding Mo successfully left the secret service headquarters.
But it is not that easy to leave from here, otherwise Wu Sanbao would not ask for help from Nanyun. If he wants to leave now, Kubo will definitely not agree.
"Li Zhiqun, what's going on with Wu Sanbao? Why doesn't he come to work?"
Jiubao picked up the phone and saw that Wu Sanbao belonged to Li Zhiqun. If he wanted to ask, he would also ask Li Zhiqun.
"Sir, he is feeling a little unwell..."
"If you don't feel well, go to the hospital. I asked Xiao Lu to take him there and ask him to come back to me immediately."
After saying that, Kubo hung up the phone. Li Zhiqun took the phone with a bitter look on his face.
What happened last time caused Wu Sanbao to lose face, which also affected him.
He and Wu Sanbao both prospered and suffered losses.
Wu Sanbao must come back. What does Xiao Lu mean? A small setback makes him unable to stand up?
Li Zhiqun believed that Wu Sanbao was not such a person.
"Three Treasures."
Li Zhiqun came to Wu Sanbao's home in person. He must obey Kubo's orders, otherwise he would only give Kubo a handle against them.
"Director, I'm not well yet, so I can't go back."
Li Zhiqun had to see Wu Sanbao when he came, but Li Zhiqun continued to shirk as soon as he opened his mouth.
"It's impossible not to go back. Kubo will call you personally. If you still say you are feeling well, he will ask Lu Muzhong to accompany you to the hospital for a check-up."
Li Zhiqun sighed, Wu Sanbao felt uncomfortable, and he also felt aggrieved and useless.
Chen Xiaoer didn't even take any action, but one of his subordinates forced them into this?
It's a pity that Xiao Lu had just made a great contribution and took down the Shanghai District of Zhongtong, which really gave him the confidence. Wu Sanbao wanted to steal the people he had to monitor, so it was normal for Xiao Lu to fight back against him.
But Li Zhiqun didn't expect that Wu Sanbao couldn't even block Xiao Lu's counterattack and was fooled so easily.
The casino owner said that it was Xiao Lu who refused to let him send the money. Wu Sanbao was so angry that he forcibly arrested the person. When arresting the person, he did not think of substantiating the evidence, so he handed over his clues to others in vain.
On hand.
"The man named Lu is very bullying."
Wu Sanbao was furious and reached for the gun. He picked up the gun and walked out.
"Wu Sanbao, if you can really kill Lu Muzhong and Chen Xiaoer, I respect you as a man. If you can't, put down the gun for me."
Li Zhiqun said coldly that he knew Wu Sanbao very well and he acted like this deliberately to show him.
If he really had the intention to kill, he would have done it long ago, why wait until today?
