Zhang Tianhao didn't know the anger on Lao Zhang's side, but before the party, he had heard Qian Chong Wu Teng say that the Army's inspection of supplies had been stepped up.
For this reason, he suggested that smuggling should not be carried out except for luxury goods during this period. After all, whether it is salt or cloth, there are strict controls.
Zhang Tianhao originally thought about whether to pause for a moment to prevent the possibility of exposure.
Finally, it was decided that the last batch of material transactions could be carried out before the year before, and other transactions were suspended. Because he heard from other news that the Japanese had found out that the guerrillas had materials transported from Shanghai.
This naturally made him cautious, otherwise the consequences would be unbearable.
After all, this is the last trump card. If this trump card is lost, then he will even want to die.
At Kodama's house, Zhang Tianhao sat opposite Kodama, looking at Kodama who was still a little pale, with a serious expression, even a touch of majesty.
"Mr. Kodama, if you survive a disaster, you will be blessed later. This old Chinese saying is true. You are lucky this time. I hope you will pay more attention to Chinese assassinations in the future!"
"Thank you, Mr. Mihara. I didn't expect that the Chinese would be so crazy this time, and I have already asked someone to investigate. This operation was carried out by the military command. I had already asked the Secret Service to fully investigate it. Now they are like rats crossing the street. I
It’s time to see what big waves these military commanders can stir up.”
"Haha, sir, you are right. If you don't teach them a lesson, they will not realize their mistakes. Just like two days ago, I was assassinated by the Chinese on my way back. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with me.
Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." Zhang Tianhao also sighed, but the hatred on his face was still so obvious.
"Were you also assassinated?"
"Yes, the Chinese are too arrogant. We must combat their arrogance, otherwise we will think that the empire is easy to bully!"
"Mr. Mihara, you are right. We must crack down on them and restore a stable and stable environment in Shanghai. This will be conducive to economic development."
"Yes, sir, what you said is very good, but I still don't understand why these people assassinated me, and several other businessmen from the empire were assassinated!"
"Mr. Mihara, it seems that you really don't know that you are implicated this time. We used counterfeit currency in China, and you Mihara Club also used it. Now they have found the source, so they will not let us off easily.
Including you and me, you should still be careful when going out in the future."
Kodama also told the truth. After all, as long as we investigate this matter, we can still find out the reason.
"What, because of this matter, it seems that I have been wronged. These damn assassins, sir, must be caught and killed!"
"You don't need to say much about this. As long as the military commander dares to show up, he will definitely kill you and he will never leave you too much trouble. It's all for the sake of the empire, but you will be implicated."
Kodama was also speechless, but as if she had found a soulmate, she became more and more satisfied with Zhang Tianhao.
Zhang Tianhao gave him the impression that apart from loving money, he didn't seem to love much else, and he didn't even care much about being an official. He really didn't know what Zhang Tianhao wanted so much money for.
At this time, someone naturally brought tea and placed it in front of the two of them.
"Mr. Mihara, please!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Zhang Tianhao thanked him, then picked up the small cup with only one mouthful in both hands and tasted it slowly.
To be honest, the tea made by this Japanese servant was really good. It was much better than his tea making skills, and he even couldn't help but drink it.
Then he thought about it again before exhaling.
"Sir, your tea is much better than mine. What a blessing."
"Haha, do you want me to introduce someone to you? I remember that Ms. Suzuko who I introduced to you last time has a very good tea art. Why, don't you want to marry her?"
When he mentioned this, Zhang Tianhao was speechless for a while. After all, he really didn't have the intention to marry a Japanese woman. Who knows if there is something wrong with this woman? There are too many secrets in his family.
"Sir, the empire has not yet been defeated. I have no intention of marrying a wife. Besides, Miss Suzuko's identity belongs to the Suzuki family. I am a little out of reach. Really, I am not worthy of her."
"Haha, you are wrong. Miss Suzuko is just a collateral line of the Suzuki family, not a direct line. There is nothing wrong with marrying her. Besides, Miss Suzuko is good-looking and is a perfect match for you."
"If you marry Miss Suzuko, then the Suzuki family will be your backing. At least it will be quite famous in Shanghai, let alone in the empire!"
"If you get married, at least your society will further expand and you will have more opportunities than now. I also find that your society seems to have fallen into a bottleneck. It is too difficult to break through."
Kodama looked at Zhang Tianhao with a smile, her face still so calm, but the smile at the corner of her mouth could no longer be concealed.
Zhang Tianhao was not surprised at all that Kodama was able to investigate his club. Apart from the fact that smuggling was a private matter between Chiju Wu Teng and him, it was difficult for outsiders to know.
"By the way, I heard that people smuggled a lot of red wine to the Chinese government and could make a lot of money, right?"
Suddenly, Kodama said such a sentence directly, which caught Zhang Tianhao off guard.
But his expression didn't change at all. On the contrary, he became much calmer.
"I originally didn't want to smuggle luxury goods to the Chinese government, but I thought about the imperial war. If these things were smuggled over, it would weaken the Chinese government's war potential to a certain extent. Not to mention making a lot of money, what?
Have fun doing it!”
"Maybe some people saw me doing this and were jealous, but they didn't think about the reason behind what I did, which is the war potential. Once a country's war potential is weakened, sir, you will definitely understand the consequences!"
He looked into Kodama's eyes, trying to see something in them, but he was still disappointed.
Kodama, the old fox, did not show any change in expression. On the contrary, he put down the cup and poured himself another cup of tea.
Then he took another gentle sip. It was obvious that Zhang Tianhao really didn't know what he was thinking about now.
After a while, the two put the cups down again, and then Kodama slowly spoke.
"You are right, it is necessary to reduce the potential for war. You are right, and you have the navy's customs clearance documents. It is not difficult, but you cannot support other people. I heard that the New Fourth Army in Jiangxi
There has been some material flowing out of Shanghai, and I would like to hear your opinion."
"Jiangxi, New Fourth Army, what is that?"
When Zhang Tianhao heard this, he suddenly looked confused and a little puzzled.
However, his heart was still as turbulent as the waves. Obviously, he did not expect that Kodama found out the origin of that batch of supplies.
"You don't know the New Fourth Army?"
"I want to know too. I only know about the Chinese government's army and the Eighth Route Army. As for what the New Fourth Army is, I really haven't heard of it. Besides, I haven't been back from the United States for a long time, so I don't know much about the situation in China.
Not sure."
He shook his head quickly and even looked confused.
"Someone has transported a batch of supplies to the New Fourth Army, and the quantity is quite large, including salt, medicine, cloth, etc. These are not small quantities. Without sufficient strength, they will never be transported."
"Sir, do you suspect that someone in my club is smuggling to the anti-Japanese Chinese army?"
"No, every club has suspicions. After all, there are people in your club who are smuggling. This matter must be investigated clearly. After all, the matter of the Chamber of Commerce must be taken seriously. The empire has already started investigating. Of course I don't want anything to happen to you here.
.”
"Thank you sir, I understand. I will definitely go back and investigate to see if anyone dares to use the club's channels for smuggling. I will not tolerate it if found."
