Smith is really a good man and the best international friend to China.
If Chinese schools do not give up, they will donate money to build specialized Chinese schools abroad. How much will it cost?
Chu Yuanchen didn't know how much it cost abroad, but he knew it well at home.
The investment in them over the years has exceeded 100,000 US dollars.
One hundred thousand dollars is an astronomical figure to many people, and it is money they will never earn in their lifetime.
Better-off people can earn at most dozens of yuan a month, while farmers' incomes are even lower.
We are talking about the ocean, not the legal currency. The legal currency has depreciated too much, and no one is willing to take it unless there is no other way.
Last year, one hundred French dollars could buy a pork leg, but this year, the money can only buy a chicken.
From buying cows at the beginning, to now only chickens, if someone saves legal currency and does not use it at home, his wealth will shrink hundreds of times without doing anything.
All this money was stolen by the Fruit Party by printing money, and there was no need to go to your house to get it.
One U.S. dollar is worth two oceans, and one hundred thousand U.S. dollars is worth more than two hundred thousand oceans. Many people will not be able to earn it in ten lifetimes, let alone a lifetime.
People have invested so much, and now they have to build a school for thousands of people, which requires even more money.
That's in the United States, and the cost is greater than in China.
I'm afraid it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
"Ling Yun, you must thank Smith for us. He is so kind."
Chu Yuanchen said excitedly that he had spent so much money in vain to help Chinese people and the Chinese people. He must write more articles to thank Smith in the future so that the Chinese people would know about this great benevolent man.
"Don't worry, I will convey it to you."
Chu Lingyun responded with a smile. He paid for it and Smith gained a good reputation.
There was nothing he could do, why didn't he say it was his own money in the first place? Moreover, if it were him, his parents might not be willing to part with the students here and invite someone else to go to the United States to run the school.
After staying at home for a day, Chu Lingyun returned to the city the next day.
"Boss, the new medicine has been packaged."
Yu Hanlin came over to report that there were more than a hundred boxes, and the packaging was very simple. The boxes were not too big, and a large truck could transport them all.
"Okay, wait for instructions and ship the goods according to my requirements."
Chu Lingyun nodded. Before leaving yesterday, he had already sent a telegram to Chen Mutu, Wending and others. Those who could come would try to come to Chongqing. Those who could not come in person must send reliable people.
"yes."
Yu Hanlin responded that the factory belonged to the boss and he would completely obey the boss's orders.
For Hanlin, following Chu Lingyun also changed his destiny.
At first, he was just a small translator working for a foreign company. Liu Chengzhu was going to the United States and needed a reliable translator, so he took him with him.
Afterwards, he worked as Liu Chengzhu's assistant in Shanghai. After Liu Chengzhu left, he followed him to a pharmaceutical factory in Chongqing to produce sulfonamides.
Liu Chengzhu went to the United States again and recommended him to take over the pharmaceutical company.
Not to mention his current salary, just his personal connections are vastly different from before.
He knew many colonels in the army, and they were all close to the commanders.
Yu Hanlin is not a troublemaker, and ordinary people would never dare to provoke him casually.
The next day, Chen Muchu arrived first.
The two met at a teahouse, and Chen Shouquan booked the place and let him make tea himself.
"Ling Yun, why are you calling me here so urgently?"
Seeing Chu Lingyun, Chen Mutu smiled. He and Chu Lingyun were the first to know each other and had the closest relationship.
He helped Chu Lingyun a little at first, but Chu Lingyun helped him even more.
When he was in Xi'an, Chu Lingyun had someone send him something, which greatly reassured him.
Later, his small treasury was enriched a lot because of Chu Lingyun.
Not to mention that so many people in the army were rescued.
Without Chu Lingyun, he would not have been able to buy so much sulfonamide. Unexpectedly, people from all over Europe later came to Chu Lingyun to buy sulfonamide. Chu Lingyun gave foreigners a higher price and guaranteed supply to a few of them.
"Good thing."
Chu Lingyun took the teapot from Chen Shouquan and poured it for Chen Tumu.
When he first met Chen Mutu, he was under great pressure. In just seven years, not to mention being on an equal footing with Chen Mutu, at least he had more confidence.
"What a good thing, your sulfonamide production has increased?"
Chen Mutu's eyes lit up. So far, he had no worries about selling sulfonamide. It was needed everywhere, but the price has never been able to come down completely.
"Something better than sulfa."
Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head. Chen Mutu was slightly startled and said hurriedly: "Stop being so pretentious, what is going on?"
Seeing them chatting like old friends, Chen Shouquan was very moved.
The boss does have a vision. When he first met Chu Lingyun, he knew that his achievements would be very high in the future. In fact, this was indeed the case. Although Chu Lingyun was in the intelligence department and was an agent, he did his best.
He was even praised several times by the old man himself.
Chen Shouquan didn't know that Chu Lingyun on the hidden front had made more military exploits, and that the recent internal strife in Japan was his handiwork.
Those who know it will be shocked.
Chu Lingyun asked: "A new drug has been released in the United States, which has similar effects to sulfa. Do you know?"
"Of course, it is said that the new drug has no side effects, no drug resistance, and is more effective than sulfa. Unfortunately, the United States has very strict control. Why, do you have a way to get this drug?"
Chen Mutu's eyes suddenly lit up. Chu Lingyun said it was a good thing and mentioned new medicine. He must have it in his hands.
"It's not that there is no drug resistance, but the drug resistance is very low. It can still be effective after being used dozens of times."
Chu Lingyun smiled and Chen Mutu said angrily: "Dozens of times, what's the difference between that and no resistance? Who can use it so many times?"
Injury and inflammation, or various inflammations are not frequent.
If it happens dozens of times, it means the patient is sick.
Sulfonamide is effective for the first time, but ineffective after three times. The second and third times actually depend on fate, and it is the first time that is truly and completely effective.
With so many side effects, using sulfa is actually a gamble on your life.
Just live your life as hard as you can.
"Tell me quickly, do you have any and how many?"
Chen Mutu asked again. He was extremely jealous after hearing about this new drug in the United States, but it was a pity that he couldn't get it.
Now that he knows that Chu Lingyun has the goods, how can he sit still.
"Yes, I do have it, but the price is not low."
"No matter how much it is, I want it all. How much do you have, five hundred or one thousand?"
Chen Mutu had heard of this medicine, and naturally knew the price. He also knew that the production in the United States was not high, and he didn't have enough for himself, so he didn't sell it outside at all.
This is all Chen Mutu knows. He does not know that the pharmaceutical factory belongs to Chu Lingyun. If he knew, he would not ask this question.
Chu Lingyun, a domestic pharmaceutical company, has always kept it secret. It had been in a state of research and development before, and he didn't even know about it.
"General Chen, you are a man with hundreds of thousands of troops at your disposal. With such little income, can 51,000 satisfy your appetite?"
Chu Lingyun smiled hoarsely, while Chen Shouquan smiled but said nothing. When they first met, Chu Lingyun didn't have the guts to make such a joke with his boss.
Chen Mutu's eyes tightened. He said five hundred thousand, which was actually too high.
People from the Fruit Party approached Americans to buy this new drug, but the Americans refused to sell it. Finally, Ms. Song personally came forward and brought back a hundred pills.
This is for their high-level emergency use. Chen Mutu will definitely have it if he needs it, but it will not be possible for other officers and soldiers.
He deliberately said five hundred thousand because he wanted to make Chu Lingyun laugh.
The result was good, he became a joke.
"I want them all as much as you have, and the price is whatever you want."
Chen Mutu said quickly, staring straight at Chu Lingyun.
"It's impossible to give them all to you. I've already prepared them for you. I'll give you the largest quantity, fifteen thousand."
"Fifteen thousand."
Chen Mutu's eyes widened. If it had been anyone else, he would have taken it as a joke and had the liar dragged out and shot.
Ms. Song came forward in person and only asked for a hundred in return. She opened her mouth and said fifteen thousand. Are you kidding him?
But it was Chu Lingyun who said this. He knew that Chu Lingyun had connections in the United States, but he never expected that the connections were so strong that he could give him fifteen thousand.
"Okay, okay, I've made a note of this favor. Where is the new medicine and when will it be delivered?"
Chen Mutu laughed excitedly. Fifteen thousand doses of the new medicine had a great effect on him. He could save more people, especially those soldiers whose sulfonamides had no effect.
No wonder Chu Lingyun asked him to come in person and gave him such a big surprise.
As expected of Chu Lingyun, things that others cannot get are nothing to Chu Lingyun.
"There are a few things I want to make clear first. First, after this batch, I won't be able to provide you with that much in the future. You need to wait for a while, at least until my production volume increases. And after the United States knows about this batch of medicine,
There is a high probability that they will intervene."
"Wait, what did you say, your output?"
Chen Mutu interrupted Chu Lingyun. He knew that Chu Lingyun produced sulfonamides, but he didn't expect that he also had new drugs that had just come out in the United States and were insufficient in production.
"Yes, the output is not high, and I invested a lot of R&D funds in the early stage, so the price of the first batch of drugs is very high."
"Do you own the American pharmaceutical company?"
Chen Mutu was very smart and asked immediately. Now this kind of medicine can be produced in the United States and used on a large scale.
"Not only the United States, but also pharmaceutical factories in Chongqing are producing."
Chu Lingyun generously admitted that as long as the production volume increased, he would immediately lower the price of the new drug.
Will there be no profit if the price drops?
Absolutely not. This kind of medicine will be more widely used among the people. Even if the price is reduced, the profits will still be considerable in the future.
There are so many people in the world, and even excluding those who are poor and cannot afford it, everyone else uses more than one per year.
Even if one dollar apiece costs hundreds of millions per year, the profit will still be calculated in terms of hundreds of millions of yuan.
“Can Chongqing Pharmaceutical Factory also produce?”
Chen Mutu was even more shocked. He really didn't know that the pharmaceutical factory belonged to Chu Lingyun and that it existed in Chongqing.
"Ling Yun, you are becoming more and more difficult for me to see through."
The tea in front of him was cold and Chen Mutu refused to drink it. Chu Lingyun shocked him greatly today.
He could not imagine that Chu Lingyun would be the owner of a pharmaceutical company that owns this latest drug in the United States.
They know this new drug, it is very powerful, and the Americans are now treating it as a treasure. If they were not allies and dragging the Japanese army with them, they might not even be given a hundred pills.
Allies including the United Kingdom, Russia, etc. have also received a small number of new drugs, which is better than them.
"General Chen, don't you want to ask about the price?"
Chu Lingyun smiled slightly and said that the amount given to Chen Mutu was quite a lot, provided that he had to pay for it.
"I know the price. The purchase price in the United States is two hundred dollars a piece. How much are you going to sell it for?"
After all, Chen Mutu is a high-level executive, so he still knows the price.
"Same as the United States, only gold and dollars."
Fifteen thousand pills is equivalent to three million US dollars, which is indeed a lot. However, Chen Mutu knows very well how important this small amount of life-saving medicine is.
No matter how expensive the price is, someone will still want it.
"Okay, Ling Yun, you are really evil-minded. Even if it's so expensive to sell to Americans, you want so much from us?"
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Mutu agreed and said quietly, "Three million dollars is really not a small amount."
"General Chen, you only see how expensive I sell it, but you don't know how much I invest. I started research and development of new drugs many years ago, and I invest more than two million US dollars in research and development funds every year."
Over the past three years, Chu Lingyun has invested millions of dollars in research, but the money is well spent. If you sell this batch of medicines, you will be able to make back all of it, and you can make a lot more.
"so much?"
Chen Mutu was shocked again. He didn't expect that developing a drug would be so expensive, more than two million US dollars per year?
How many aircraft and cannons is this equivalent to?
"These are research and development expenses, as well as factory construction, management by the US government and the Department of Defense. I have invested millions of dollars in investment for American pharmaceutical factories. Otherwise, why do you think I can keep such a pharmaceutical factory?"
It's true, Smith's investment alone was over two million dollars.
The other governors, plus mercenaries, to manage the relationship with the Ministry of National Defense, have about three million. Counting them all together, there are tens of millions.
No dividends to Mike are calculated here.
Mike's dividends come after the pharmaceutical factory produces them, not the initial investment.
"I see, with such a big investment, the price is indeed not high. Don't worry, I will prepare the money for you."
Chen Muchu could afford three million dollars, and besides, this was life-saving medicine, and life was more important than money.
He doesn't need to use all of it, but sell part of it, and then he can get his money back, and he will use the rest on his soldiers.
"Okay, I have prepared the new medicine. Please prepare the money and you can pick up the goods at any time." Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded.
"Can I ask how many you produced?" Chen Mutu looked at Chu Lingyun.
"The American pharmaceutical factory and the Chinese pharmaceutical factory both produce more than 60,000. It is impossible for the American side to get it domestically. Even if it is domestically produced, after giving it to you this time, the next batch will not be that large."
Chu Lingyun admitted generously that he would sell everything. They would know how much they had sold as soon as they asked, so there was no need to hide it.
"More than 120,000 yuan, Ling Yun, you really impress me with admiration."
Chen Mutu clasped his fists, his words were not derogatory, he really admired Chu Lingyun again.
More than 120,000 yuan can be sold for more than 20 million US dollars. Chu Lingyun will almost double the net profit after removing the investment.
But that's not how the accounts were settled, and Chen Mutu was not an ignorant person.
Who knows whether the early investment will pay off later? If the research and development is not completed, all the money will be wasted.
How can ordinary people have such courage?
Research and development is accompanied by high risks. Since it is high risk, it is normal to have high returns.
The money Chu Lingyun earned was what he deserved, and Chen Mutu knew this very well.
"General Chen, you are very grateful. Please don't publicize this matter to the outside world, especially the pharmaceutical factory."
Chu Lingyun warned, in fact, once a large number of new drugs appear in China, there is no way to hide them. Americans will definitely know, why do Chinese pharmaceutical factories have the same output as American pharmaceutical factories?
Chu Lingyun is not worried about this. The United States is throwing a lot of money, but it is not without effect.
Americans are more direct. If you give money, you are their sponsor and they will serve you.
In addition, it is the newspaper office.
In the past few years, Chu Lingyun asked Liu Chengzhu to establish a good relationship with some major media. After the incident came out, he would give them a sum of money to prevent them from reporting on it.
Only those at the top level know this.
This is not the Internet era, so newspapers and radios are not available. As for television, it has not yet been widely popularized in the United States.
The influence of TV stations is not that great.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Chen Mutu agreed, betraying Chu Lingyun would not do him any good, and Chu Lingyun was very interesting and gave him so many new medicines. He wanted to take this favor.
We didn’t drink much tea, but we talked a lot.
Moreover, a three million US dollar business was reached. Chen Mutu wanted to raise the money. Three million, as long as US dollars and gold were needed, he needed time to prepare.
He doesn't have that much cash on hand.
Chu Lingyun saw Chen Mutu off, got in the car and left.
In the car, Chen Shouquan sighed as he drove: "Boss, Chu Lingyun is really getting more and more confusing. I didn't expect that his connections in the United States are so strong."
"That's why I say that people should not be judged by their appearance. Chu Lingyun has always had good connections in the United States, but I didn't expect them to be so strong."
Chen Mutu agreed, how many people in the country can compare with this relationship?
Just for this reason, even if the old man wanted to move him, he would have to consider the consequences. Chu Lingyun's wings had really grown hard and he was no longer afraid of anything.
It's ridiculous that Kong Sanling actually wanted to seize Chu Lingyun's property. It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers and don't know how to write the word "death".
"You still have a good eye for judging people."
Chen Shouquan smiled and said, it was not a complete compliment. When Chu Lingyun was just a lieutenant colonel, Chen Mutu gave him a high evaluation.
Now looking at Chu Lingyun's achievements, what Chen Mutu said is not an exaggeration at all.
People who are capable are indeed very powerful everywhere.
The reason why Chu Lingyun gave Chen Mutu so much was because he had the best relationship with Chen Mutu, and this relationship needed to be maintained.
If anything happens, Chen Musu is the first to respond and help him.
Besides Chen Mutu, next is General Xue.
General Xue will have 10,000, and then Wending, General Li and others will each receive 6,000.
Changsha is currently a battlefield, and this new drug is needed more there. It is understandable to give General Xue more.
The medicine can be given to them, but the money must be given, and the money must be paid and delivered. The transaction must be completed as soon as possible, otherwise the United States will come to the door as soon as it knows about it.
Chu Lingyun is very clear about the urinary nature of Americans.
Wending was the second to arrive, and he also came in person. When he learned that it was a new drug only available in the United States, his expression was even more exaggerated than Chen Mutu's.
Wending has not yet suffered the most humiliating defeat in his life, and is still the commander of the war zone.
General Li and General Xue were not themselves, but the most trusted people around them. When they learned that a million-dollar business was at stake, they could not make the final decision, so they immediately sent a report to the people behind them.
Knowing that Chu Lingyun had a new drug from the Americans, they couldn't sit still and immediately tried to find a way to rush to Chongqing.
Chu Lingyun will not stay in Chongqing for long, and he cannot leave Shanghai for a long time.
All the new medicines were quickly divided up, and Chen Mutu was the first to bring the money to pick up the goods. Chu Lingyun will temporarily store the money in the United States, and will also open an account in a Swiss bank.
The Swiss bank of the future will not be very good, but its current reputation is still good and there are no problems in its existence.
Shanghai, No. 76.
After Chen Zhanli got off work, he went out quietly by himself without letting anyone around him follow him.
He came to a safe house, made sure no one was following him, and sneaked in.
This is a safe house he prepared himself, and there is no one inside.
He came here to read a book, a book he got by accident.
The title of the book is very strange, it's called "How Steel Was Tempered". Chen Zhanli didn't buy this book, and he couldn't buy it. He picked it up.
If this book hadn't been tightly packaged and kept secret, Chen Zhanli might not have been interested.
As a result, when he saw it, he couldn't control it anymore.
He didn't know that Ezakiga deliberately let him pick up this book and let him read it.
The book was written by a Russian and tells the story of Russian soldiers, but the Red Party does not distinguish between national boundaries, and the ideas of the Red Party members are the same.
For the country, for the nation.
Chen Zhanli couldn't stop after reading the beginning. He didn't dare to put such a book in No. 76, even if Li Zhiqun was gone and he had complete control of No. 76.
No matter who reads the book, it will be a huge trouble for him.
This is a banned book.
Fortunately, Li Zhiqun was gone and there was no opponent. No one would stare at him specially. Every time he got off work, he would secretly come out to watch it. As soon as he saw it, he would lose track of time and be completely attracted by the story.
This book was translated into Chinese last year, but because the content was not approved by the Japanese Wago Party, it is not readily available on the market.
Ezakiga finally got a copy.
He had manuscripts in Japanese and Chinese, and the original Chinese version was given to Chen Zhanli.
Even his handwritten manuscripts cannot be brought back to Japan.
Japan has very strict inspections at the docks. Many people were checked for carrying banned books and then imprisoned. He was a person in the extra-high school and knew this very well.
When it was time to get off work, Esaki drove home by himself.
He is a liaison officer and is qualified to use a car.
Chen Zhanli is not Li Zhiqun, and he respects him very much. His power in No. 76 has actually increased a lot, but he has never used his privileges.
The car windows are closed. This is Esaki's habit. He is an agent and usually doesn't like to open the windows. Even if it is very hot, he will try not to open them if possible.
As he was walking, a bicycle suddenly appeared in front of him, and Ezaki stepped on the brakes immediately.
Almost didn't hit it.
The man on the bicycle got off the bicycle, and Esaki He immediately took out his pistol, but the man did not come over and bowed to his position as if to apologize.
When he looked up, he quickly threw a paper ball on the hood of the car.
After throwing it away, he got on his bicycle and left.
Through the car glass, Esakiga carefully observed the small ball of paper.
It's not a bomb. A bomb wouldn't be so small. If the man just wanted to stab himself, he could do it when he bent down.
Esaki got out of the car, picked up the paper ball with his gloves and opened it.
There were a few words written on the paper, in Japanese. When he saw the words on it, Ezaki He was slightly startled. He recognized the words.
It's Mitsui Amu's handwriting. He has been with Mitsui for such a long time and is very familiar with his handwriting.
‘Tomorrow at three o’clock in the afternoon, Deji Teahouse in the former French Concession’
The content above was very simple. Esaki looked around and quickly got into the car with the note.
Mitsui Amu is back.
After his former nobleman and superior officer was secretly transferred away by Tuyuan, the two never had any contact again.
Why did he come to Shanghai and meet me so mysteriously?
If Mitsui had come to see him suddenly when he had just left, Esaki would have been very excited, but now, his first consideration was Mitsui's purpose for finding him.
He didn't hear about Mitsui's return in the extra-high school class, and since it was so mysterious, it was obvious that Mitsui didn't return to Shanghai normally.
What does he do when he sees me? Do you want to see him?
For a moment, Esaki He thought a lot.
Now Ezaki is no longer the person who blindly trusted Mitsui at the beginning. He has completely changed.
Now he is a glorious member of the Red Party, and he is naturally on the opposite side of a person from a big capitalist like Mitsui.
Mitsui Amu is here, does he want to meet?
Also, do you want to report it to Jiang Tengkong?
After thinking for a long time, Esakiga decided not to report it. He didn't know what Mitsui Amu's purpose was. It would be better if he had a way to return himself to China.
Back in Japan, he can play a greater role.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Qihe arrived at Deji Teahouse on time and saw Mitsui Amu sitting in the lobby at a glance.
Mitsui Amu put on a disguise, but he was too familiar with Mitsui to hide it from him.
Mitsui also noticed Ezakiga.
He gently shook his head at Esaki He, who understood, found another seat to sit down, and ordered a pot of tea and some snacks. After Mitsui left, he immediately followed behind.
Mitsui took him to a private house, which Mitsui had just rented.
The patriarch asked him to investigate Ishihara Hiroshi, but he didn't ask him to stay in Japan to investigate. There would be no use in investigating there.
He is coming to China, to Shanghai.
Hiroshi Mitsui had just died, and he was a member of the Mitsui family. His arrival in Shanghai could not be known to anyone. He used a false identity to get around Taiwan and came to Shanghai as a Taiwanese.
This will not attract other people's attention.
You cannot let Ishihara Hiroshi know that he has arrived in Shanghai, otherwise he will probably be killed by Ishihara Hiroshi.
Hiroshi Ishihara had given him money before, and the two had some friendship, but that was many years ago, and Hiroshi Ishihara at that time did not have the authority he has now.
Killing Ishihara Hiroshi now would be easier than trampling on an ant.
"Director, when did you arrive in Shanghai?"
Entering the house, Esaki He immediately asked, Mitsui was everything to him and his support.
Recalling when Mitsui had just been transferred and Nagumo was about to come, Esaki He was still filled with emotions.
Fortunately, he was transferred and Nayun came over to force him, otherwise he would still be living in a world of lies and unable to see the light.
"I just arrived a few days ago, Ezaki. I'm glad to see that you're okay, but don't call me section chief in the future. I'm no longer a member of the special high school class."
"Yes, sir."
Esaki He responded and changed his title. This title made Mitsui very happy and proved that Esaki He still respected him.
"How have you been lately? Jiang Tengkong didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Mitsui took the initiative to ask, and he knew about Esakiga's situation. When he was suddenly transferred and Nagumo took over, Esakiga faced great danger.
The pressure on him can be imagined.
"No, Jiang Tengkong is very good to me."
Jiang Qihe shook his head. Except for the last time when he helped Chen Zhanli hide it and Jiang Tengkong locked him up for a while, Jiang Tengkong usually treated him well.
"That's good, Ezaki. I was worried about you after I left. I mentioned it to the chief section chief to transfer you back to the headquarters, but the chief section chief didn't agree. You know my situation and there's nothing I can do at the headquarters. Fortunately, this time
Everything is over, and I am very happy to see you are okay."
Mitsui Amu said happily that he came here to investigate secretly, and to investigate openly would be to seek death.
He has brought ten members of his family, all of whom are experts and have undergone rigorous training, but they are not agents, and the real investigation needs to be conducted by him personally.
Before coming to Shanghai, Mitsui Amu thought of Esakiga.
Ezaki He was his absolute confidant and someone he could trust, but he did not directly explain his purpose.
Investigating Ishihara Hiroshi is no small matter. Once Ishihara Hiroshi finds out, he will die violently immediately.
He and Esaki He had been separated for several years, and he was not sure that Esaki He would treat him as he did before and would not casually tell him the purpose of coming to Shanghai this time.
"Thank you for your concern, sir. It was really difficult for me when Nanyun first arrived. Fortunately, Fang Shiyi helped me, otherwise Nanyun would have beaten me to death."
Esaki smiled and Mitsui nodded. He didn't know the details, but he could imagine how Nagumo would treat him as the first person around him.
The relationship between him and Nan Yun was not harmonious, almost to the point of life and death.
"Why did you come back this time?" Esaki He asked proactively, he wanted to find out what was going on.
"I came back to do some ordinary things and see you by the way. I'm relieved that you're fine."
Mitsui smiled, and Ezaki didn't believe a word of his words. It was such an ordinary thing. How could he do it so mysteriously, like meeting him like a joint?
However, Mitsui was not in the special high school class, and Ezakiga didn't know where he went, so he couldn't guess his true purpose.
"Keep my coming back a secret. I'm a little busy these two days. We'll meet again in a few days and have a good chat then."
Mitsui Amu was seeing off a guest. Esaki He understood what he meant and immediately took the initiative to leave.
Shortly after Esakiga left, a man came to Mitsui's room.
"Master, he's gone."
It was Mitsui Amu's men who came, and Mitsui Amu arranged for someone to watch beside him to make sure that Esakiga left and did not look around.
"Come on, let's change places."
Mitsui nodded, he was testing Esakiga.
If someone is watching here, or if a mysterious person comes over, it means that Esakiga betrayed him.
He will get rid of Ezakiga and leave Shanghai immediately.
Come back later to investigate.
If there are no abnormalities, it proves that Esaki He is still loyal to him and has not leaked his arrival in Shanghai to the outside world.
Whether it's Jiang Tengkong or Ishihara Hiroshi, if they know he's here, they will definitely come to investigate.
If Hiroshi Ishihara knew about it, a large number of military police would probably come.
Mitsui is very careful in what he does, and Ezakiga has been separated from him for so many years, and he must go through trials before he can use it again.
Investigating Hiroshi Ishihara cannot be done by himself, especially if there are no other agents around him.
Esaki He became his best choice, otherwise he would not take such a risk.
Back home, Esaki thought seriously.
Mitsui Amu came to Shanghai mysteriously. There must be something important. If Toru Ishihara knew that he was in Shanghai, he would never let him go.
What on earth is worth taking such a risk for him?
Ezaki's clues were limited. He only knew that Mitsui Amu left the Special High School, but he didn't know exactly where he went.
He knew very little about the domestic situation.
Esaki didn't move that day. He didn't know if Mitsui had sent someone to keep an eye on him. He couldn't run around at this time, but this matter must be reported.
He wanted to tell his superior, Xi Tian, and discuss it with him.
Mitsui would like to find him again. Next time they meet, Mitsui will probably tell him what to do. Once told, he will not be able to refuse.
He knew Mitsui well, and if it was an important matter involving secrets, he would definitely get rid of him if he didn't agree to Mitsui's request.
"How did you come?"
Nishida was surprised to see Ezaki He. They usually communicate at a fixed time and will not meet casually unless there is something important.
In China, they have no intelligence-gathering mission and the risk of exposure is very low.
"Mitsui Amu is back. He found me. I suspect he has an important mission, but I don't know what it is. He will come to me again. Once he tells me the mission, I can't refuse, otherwise he will
I'll take action."
Esaki quickly expressed his intention to come, and Nishida knew that Mitsui was Esaki's boss and the director of Shanghai's Special Higher Education Course.
Nishida frowned, why did Mitsui Amu suddenly come to Shanghai?
Thinking of his last name, Nishida asked: "Could he be here because of Hiroshi Mitsui to investigate the detailed cause of his death?"
Such a big thing happened in Shanghai some time ago, and Nishida worked at Ishihara Trading Company, so it was impossible that he didn't know about it.
Ishihara Hiroshi attacked the Liaison Department and killed all the guards of a regiment of the Liaison Department.
"It's possible, but it won't be an investigation of Mitsui Bosi. If there was to be an investigation, it would have been done long ago, not now."
"Instead of investigating Hiroshi Mitsui, who else could he investigate?" Nishida asked strangely.
An idea flashed in Esakiga's mind, and Nishida's words reminded him that before, he had only thought about Mitsui Amu's other tasks. After all, there were too many possibilities.
Nishida asked who was investigating, and Esakiga immediately thought of someone.
Hiroshi Ishihara.
Mitsui Amu is here to investigate Ishihara Hiroshi. Are the Mitsui family so courageous and want to avenge Mitsui Hiroshi?
Think about it, this possibility is not impossible. The Mitsui family is not weak. It needs people and money. Mitsui Bosi has a high status in the family. His death is a huge loss to the Mitsui family.
If so, he couldn't agree to it.
Investigating Hiroshi Ishihara in Shanghai, whether overtly or covertly, is seeking death.
Who doesn’t know Yamauchi’s lessons and extra-high school courses?
"I know what's going on. He wants to investigate Ishihara Hiroshi. If so, I'm afraid I'll be in danger, but I can't tell the truth, otherwise the Mitsui family will know about it, and I'll never be able to return to China again."
Esaki frowned. If he informs, the Mitsui family will find out and there will never be peace.
He is not Ishihara Hiroshi, and he cannot stop the Mitsui family's revenge. What's more, Tuhara has a good relationship with the Mitsui family, and they can kill him through Tuhara.
"You can't inform anyone, and you can't help Mitsui. He has created a big problem for you."
Nishida understands Esakiga's concerns. Why would Mitsui Amu come back and find Esakiga? Isn't this harmful to others?
"Do you want me to find a way to kill him secretly?"
Seeing that Ezaki He didn't speak, Nishida took the initiative to ask, but Ezaki He immediately refused: "No, he didn't come alone, and he just met me. If he dies, I will be under serious suspicion."
"How about I send a report to the country and ask them if they have any good ways to help you solve your problem?"
Unable to assassinate and unable to report, Nishida ran out of ideas.
Although the country can't help much, after all, there are many people, so maybe we can come up with good ideas for them to solve this crisis.
"No, I don't know the situation in China and can't help me."
"Can you apply and leave Shanghai first so that Mitsui Amu can't find you?"
Nishida thought of another way. Esaki thought for a while and shook his head again: "No, I know Mitsui. If I leave, he will definitely run away and send someone to assassinate me."
Mitsui was very careful. Even if he didn't report it or tell anyone, Mitsui would not believe him. Mitsui believed that dead people cannot speak.
"Why don't we secretly return to China? If you change your identity, they won't be able to find you."
Nishida gritted his teeth, and Esaki He immediately objected: "I can't go back. If I go back like this, all my efforts during this period will be in vain. I must be transferred back to China and work in a domestic special higher education program."
Ezakiga is a major and has a certain rank.
After returning to China, he will have access to important information and will be able to help comrades at home very well.
If he didn't want a job in China, he wouldn't have stayed in Shanghai. He had plenty of opportunities to go back and could leave at any time.
Xitian has completely lost his mind. He is also unwilling to go back like this, but if he doesn't go back, the danger will not be eliminated.
Damn Mitsui, come here, why do you want to find Ezaki?
Didn't he hurt Ezaki Ga badly enough?
"Wait a minute, maybe he didn't come here because of this incident."
The two failed to discuss the outcome, and Esaki He could not stay here for too long in Nishida and left quickly.
After Esaki He left, Nishida hesitated for a long time and finally decided to send a report to the country.
He is Ezakiga's upline and must be responsible for his safety.
Now is a special situation. He wants to tell the country, ask for instructions from the country, and ask them to evacuate urgently if necessary. He cannot stay here and take risks.
Xitian has a high-power radio in his hands. As long as he sends a report, he will definitely be discovered.
This is also the reason why he doesn't usually send reports.
After arriving at the safe house and taking out the radio, Nishida quickly sent their situation back to the country.
Then came the anxious wait. He needed to wait for a reply from China.
It cannot be turned off during this time.
Five minutes later, Nishida received a call back. The domestic response was very quick this time.
After recording the message, Xitian immediately turned off his phone, hid the radio and left quickly.
Nishida was overly worried this time. The Special High School didn't care about it now. Instead, the Military Police Headquarters discovered an abnormality, and the signal was cut off again during the investigation.
The Intelligence Division was responsible for this matter, but they did not report it to Takemoto
A mysterious illegal radio station, no one knows who it belongs to. It only took a short time to start up. They only locked the approximate location. There are tens of thousands of households in this area and more than 100,000 people. Without a signal, it is impossible to find it.
It won't be too late to report back once specific clues are found.
…
Fourth Army, Minister Yang is making arrangements for the people in front of him.
After Mr. Ke provided him with direction last time, he immediately conducted an investigation and initially screened out more than 600 people. After careful screening, most of them were eliminated.
There are only thirteen suspects left.
Their situation is consistent with what Ke Gong said. They have outstanding performance and were actively promoted to join the party by their introducers. When they joined the party, they were worried about their families and had hesitation.
They did a good job in farm work, but they have calluses on their hands.
Minister Yang specially found an expert and took the opportunity to shake hands with them to praise the calluses they had developed. In fact, he was trying to determine the approximate time when the calluses on their hands formed and whether there were any abnormalities.
The positions of guns and agricultural tools are different and will not be fully covered.
Thirteen people are all abnormal. Next, their identities will be verified in detail. Instead of going directly to their hometown villages, they will visit their hometowns to find people who know them and use photos to identify them.
Mr. Ke once warned that people in the traitor's hometown may be bribed with money, and a roundabout investigation is needed.
If you come directly to the door, you may alert the enemy and put yourself in danger.
This kind of investigation is even more difficult. The Guotong District is not their territory. It is not easy to protect themselves and at the same time find out the truth.
Minister Yang selected all elites, a total of twenty-six people, and they were sent to the hometowns of thirteen people for verification.
Instead of directly contacting their family members, for example, if their hometown is in the village, try to find a way to inquire in the nearby town.
If you are in a county town, go to the countryside to inquire.
In short, be sure to avoid their relatives and friends, which will make the investigation more difficult.
"The first priority when we go out this time is safety. The investigation will be conducted on the basis of safety. It doesn't matter if it is earlier or later. You must come back to me in full."
Minister Yang gave them a final reminder that this trip would give them a lot of funds for activities.
They were not allowed to carry weapons or anything that could reveal their identities to ensure that nothing would happen to them.
"Don't worry, Minister, we will come back safely."
One person answered, he was the section chief and the highest ranking person here.
This time we have to go through Japanese-occupied areas, which is even more difficult.
There were no traces of guns on the hands or shoulders of the twenty-six people. They disguised themselves as hawkers and carried goods out. These goods could also help them bribe the puppet or fruit troops on the road at critical moments.
Those people have a urinary nature and will not pursue it if it is beneficial.
"Okay, let's go."
Minister Yang waved his hand. He had a hunch that the traitor would be found this time, and the traitor was among the thirteen people.
In Shanghai, Mitsui Amu personally observed for three days, and there was no suspicious person near his previous residence.
It seems that Esakiga is still trustworthy and has not betrayed him.
This is best. He is in urgent need of help now, especially since Jiang Qihe has a good relationship with Fang Shiyi and can help him get more useful information.
The clan leader promised him that if he made great achievements this time, he would be included in his direct lineage and given more resources. If he still wanted to develop in the army, he would be promoted to major general and given a better position of real power.
If he didn't want to, he would have given an important company to him and let him take care of it.
Mitsui doesn't want to go to the company, he wants to stay in the army.
After being promoted to major general, he asked his family to help him run the operation, and first went to the military police headquarters.
He wants to develop at the Gendarmerie Headquarters and seek a higher position.
In the future, he also has a chance to become Prime Minister or even Prime Minister.
This is how Saijo rose through the ranks.
Ezaki He was in the office when the phone suddenly rang.
"I'm Ezakiga."
"Mr. Ezaki, this is Deji Tea House. The tea you ordered has arrived. When will you pick it up?"
A strange voice came from the other side of the phone, and Jiang Zakihe's heart tightened. He understood that Mitsui Amu had come to the door.
There is no way to hide, so Esaki He is ready to see what Mitsui Amu is going to do.
"I'll go there in the afternoon."
After speaking, Esaki He hung up the phone, and the owner of Deji Tea House also hung up the phone.
Someone indeed ordered tea from them. Mitsui Amu sent someone to place the order in the name of Esakiga. He knew that Esakiga was at No. 76 and knew his phone number.
Even if someone monitored Ezaki's phone calls and came to investigate, they would not be able to find anything unusual unless they had Ezaki's photo.
If such a thing really happens, Mitsui Amu will evacuate immediately.
This is equivalent to a layer of insurance for him.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Esaki He came to the safe house. The call was indeed from Deji Tea House. He asked the person at the telephone exchange.
Mitsui Amu would not really be waiting for him at Deji Teahouse. The real purpose of this call was to get him to meet here, not the teahouse.
They have met before and there is no need to meet again.
"Come in."
It was not Mitsui who opened the door. Esaki was not surprised. The stranger who appeared confirmed that Mitsui did not come to Shanghai alone.
Mitsui is a very cautious person, and he must be secretly checking to see if he has brought anyone else over at this time.
If so, Mitsui would run away immediately.
After a while, Mitsui also entered the house.
"Ezaki, this is for you."
Mitsui took out a small box from the room, opened it and placed it in front of Ezaki He.
Inside is a row of ten gold bars.
"Sir, you are my old commander and my boss. I can't ask for this money."
Esaki shook his head immediately, but his heart sank. Giving money without doing anything was not Mitsui's style. It seemed that this matter was really troublesome.
"Just take it if it's given to you."
Mitsui pushed the box in front of him and said slowly: "To tell you the truth, this time I was ordered by the clan leader to investigate Ishihara Hiroshi's crime. You also know the conflict between Ishihara Hiroshi and the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister will not let go."
If you pass him, someone from your Majesty's side has already spoken out against the engagement between the princess and Hiroshi Ishihara."
"Their marriage couldn't happen. Hiroshi Ishihara was too ruthless. He stole Abe's gold, tricked Abe to death, and killed so many people in the liaison department. Everyone in the liaison department has a background. Don't forget how Abe died.
, Hiroshi Ishihara will not end well either."
"There are many people who want Ishihara Hiroshi's life now. He will be finished soon. You have a good relationship with his secretary Fang Shiyi. I hope you can help me find out more evidence of Ishihara Hiroshi's crime from Fang Shiyi."
Esaki pretended to be shocked, but in fact he was really surprised.
He guessed right, Mitsui Amu really came to Ishihara Toru and asked him to investigate Ishihara Toru together.
"Sir, you left Shanghai early. You don't know how powerful Ishihara Hiroshi is now. The current Ishihara Hiroshi is no longer the same as before..."
"I know, that's why I came to find you."
Mitsui interrupted Ezaki: "After this is completed, I will be promoted to major general and enter the military police headquarters. At that time, I will transfer you from the super high school and go to the military police headquarters with me. Your military rank will also be promoted to lieutenant colonel.
, I will help you be promoted to colonel in the future, and when I become land minister in the future, you will have no problem even if you want to be the division commander."
This is a big chapter with 12,000 words. Today I will update it with 20,000 words. I can’t stand it any longer, so I go to bed first.
